Probably things that you have already thought about (or maybe just bad ideas 🤣), but a couple thoughts on standing the wall - could you sheath the bottom portion of the wall with an overhang close to the thickness of the exposed slab edge and subfloor, such that when the wall comes up to plumb the overhang would drop down against the slab edge to offer some resistance against overshooting/tipping toward the machine? Another idea might be braces with an integrated turnbuckle that would allow the wall to be braced just before it comes to plumb, then adjusted into place from there with the turnbuckles. Looks like there are turnbuckles intended for concrete forms that might be easy to modify with extensions on the ends. Always appreciate your videos and always learn something, thanks for doing what you do!
I'm a framer in Arizona. When it starts to rain which isn't often. The foreman draws a circle on the slab. If we get ten drops of rain in the circle we go home. You might say we're weenies. Come on down when it's 120 like all last week.
Some really helpful stuff in here, thanks! I’m trying to build and stand up a massive 65’x18’-24’ 2x8” wall, hopefully some of the info here helps me keep it in one piece.
Tim, I forgot to post this earlier. So you love the lam studs for framing. I can learn to live with them, been chewing on them for about +4 years now. What are your thoughts on finger jointed dimensional lumber? Why would you pick lam over finger joint? And yes the properly specified ones for compression loading.
Tim, I am not a fan either. So joined together are sections that do not equate to any additional physical properties. The only thing you get is an increase availability of long lumber. What are the underwhelming features that failed the test for you? At least with lams you get cross grain stability, additional physical properties and the length.
Good thing you uploaded a long video today. I really needed one, after spending 1.5h in 32°C 40%hum making a cross brace for a shelf and chiseling out the recess.
Wow, cool seeing another house build with a tall wall! Our video WAS going to be released tomorrow, but my editor lost power 😢. So it will be a livesteam instead. Our wall was roughly 10,000lbs, so many lsls and headers😂 it 20ft tall x 58ft, the lift was BAAAAAD, oh gosh, this lift was a kitten compared to watch my wall snap 😵💫. But im glad you got it up in one piece, my husband told me about the wall you cut apart. Gosh, how frustrating 😢
@@AwesomeFramers it's a tough gig for sure! In order to grow your skills you need to take risks, no way around it. But you also have angry clients to deal with too which makes the stakes even higher 😂
I love the videos. So informational. Question when lifting. Why wouldn’t you drive the telehandler closer when lifts so your not boomed out so far with all the weight? Collapse safety zone?
Tim, So do you prime and caulk the LP soffit material when the wall assembly is that grade level? Do you left the 3/16" space that is required by LP. And before you say that's not in our scope, well that's value you can add and get paid for if you get it included in your scope.
@@AwesomeFramers Tim, understood. However I just said caulk. As in the butt joints. They're accessible at ground level instead of working on the ladder or scaffolding later. Multiple positive safety impacts. This beyond the positive quality benefit positive fill on the joint and sealing off the edge early. BTW, the content gets better and better maybe it's your dancing ability but I don't think so. I have noticed you stressing the order of operations, training and other areas even more so now then say a year or two ago. Always excellent workmanship. Funny thing I think if you wood butchers decided to undertake finish carpentry the quality level would be way past 10!
@@barrelmitt1544 Got, it, sorry about that. Yeah, personally I prefer not to caulk at this stage, even if it was dry to let things move around a little. Since we'll be up there siding anyway and caulking, I just do it then. Thanks for the kind words.
If anything, check out DeWalt’ green laser 3 way,”even if DeWalt does not give you one” throw yours in the trash and use the DeWalt. It goes around corners in daylight. Enough of the string lines.
I would have to Dream of getting Planning permission for this Type of Build in England! Financial services would classify as Non-Standard construction and refuse a loan. Planning would think it was a Cabin Holiday Stay even a storage shed. Yet this type of build would solve in part the Housing Shortage in England! The new Government has said it is going to change planning rules??????.
A few reasons. 1) I have to use some taller than 20' 2x6 anyway, so I used these to get the longer lengths. 2) Stiffness during lift 3) Straight and flat
I just hate the 24 inch stud centres . Just from the aspect of cabinet and vanity box hanging, tv mounts, Vanity light change outs, Large oversized picture frames, mirrors, waterproof foam board in bathroom showers etc.
Magnetic the lazer from the lull “you call fork lift”, the lull can do 2 jobs at once all day long,,, yes laser stay on all day long. Lazer on body not hydraulics.
Could you for a moment, stop what you are doing an explain in a video , how you got to where you are? As a kid. 30 years in the trades, and still figuring out how to teach the next generation.
I watched your video even after the way you insulted me just because you didnt like my comment about how you do things. I dislike your methods even more. But that's just my opinion and you can keep on being insulting to me because you dont6 like it that i don't like your method. But live long and prosper my friend. You obviously are intelligent and have promise. Someday i expect you will be a really good carpenter. You are not there yet but i believe you can be. Ricky 06-06-1957. Believe. Because believing is important. Love thy neighbor like god said and god bless. Gkad i don't have to do that kind of bending over back breaking work anymore unless i just really really want to and for myself now.
I'm trying to put words to the routering (?) of the sheet material. The best I can describe it is ....router ballerino. You are a router ballerino.

In Michigan we call that the rain turtle. It’s scientifically proven if you draw the circle….we go home early 😂
In England we just get on with it you bunch of woosssess 😂😂
We do the same thing lol
Yep I'm in Vegas and the temps are crazy high.
Much love guys. I love the positivity.
You are so goofy and I freaking love it haha
Nice work, Timmy!! Good stuff. Can’t wait to start building my own house-hopefully next spring.

We've used finger jointed studs a few times over the years, I wasn't impressed.

@@barrelmitt1544 they just weren't straight. I didn't see any real world advantage to them
wow! That is how they market them.
The differential twist due to the multiple grain direction should be a jewel to see after time.
@@barrelmitt1544 to be clear, I'm talking about finger jointed studs not LVL. www.wwpa.org/western-lumber/structural-lumber/finger-jointed

They should teach math like this in school how math comes into play in real life situations.
Is it okay to put soffit and woods while it's raining?
Yep, because it will dry out.
