The old ranch house will soon gain a second level. The open concept living space requires extra planning for support of the second story.
Now that the first floor walls are framed, Jeff is ready to place the main support beam. Kevin finds the crew maneuvering the 1200 pound PSL beam. The new deck off the back of the house will block the existing basement windows.
The homeowners want some light in the basement incase they decide to later improve the space. Kevin watches as a hole is cut in the old foundation for a basement window. Jeff and his team are big fans of the laminated strand lumber used for framing on this project. Kevin travels to Kenora, Canada to find out how and where it comes from. Plant manager Bill Candline gives him a tour. Back at the project, framing continues on the new upper level of the house. Tommy, Jeff and Jeff's crew are ready to raise the new gable ends.

anyone else pick up Kevin saying "I'm comin into your hole"?...lol
In 15 years there will be videos titled: "How to partition your open concept house into comfortable private spaces"
Funny enough I think we’ll move another way. I think it’ll be one room that becomes many rooms.
I predict in the future we will put the bathroom in the kitchen. I am never wrong about these things.
😅
Holy moly, 10 guys to raise a wall... That engineered lumber is heavy!
Interesting tour of that amazing factory in Canada.
I'm sure those guys loved Tom reminding them to "keep on going" 1/4 of the way lifting the wall. If he wasn't there, they probably would've just dropped it back down on top of themselves.
Really enjoy these full episodes! Don't have cable so CZcams has to fill in.
You can watch on your tv
Try Pluto TV app on your phone, it's free and channel 618 is This Old House. Just saw Silver Lakes, California.
"we haven't automated this yet, we're working on it" - sign of the times!
I was just about to say that. I know it's progress, but then that will be a bunch of layoffs. Sad but it's the wave of the future
Yep, machines don't take holidays or sick days.
johans I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe.
I got it in my about tab.
@@larsonny77 In my line of work In utiility the work still gets done regardless so I think thats a lame excuse. But even machines need to be monitored on holidays regardless of a sick day
Another great video!! Keep them coming!! Keep giving us the details!!
Definitely great work and the team worked great good job guys !!!!
I have so much respect for workers who work on home. The hard work in the sun and working on power tools....etc
pbenson I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe.
I got it in my about tab.
Bet those workers standing there @ 19:32 were really excited to hear the company is actively looking for a way to get rid of them.
"IT'S THE ONLY PART THAT ISN'T AUTOMATED, BUT WE'RE WORKING ON IT."
I don’t understand the obsession with keeping human around for monotonous, tedious labour that is the bulk of manufacturing jobs around the world. Most guys I know who are in those jobs hate it and want to do something else given half a chance.
@@htklun Because those workers would be displaced and have to find a new job which might not be readily available. In my honest opinion, companies that plan to automate should train their workers to develop new skills for a different position in the company or to transition to other career paths.
@@htklun Bull. If they wanted to do something else they would. Anyone can learn a marketable skill, but it does mean you can't go home every night and drink beer and watch TV for four hours.
@@oldcountryman2795 On the surface I agree, every job market contracts or expands at some point. The hard part is for someone who's got 30 years of experience in one occupation, but needs to start over in a different field. It will be difficult and near impossible for that person to find comparable compensation if their experience is not applicable.
I fully agree that anyone who's in a job that they don't want (or has the foresight to see that they will be replaced by a machine) should be taking steps to change their situation.
I surely always wondered how they were so good to stand up tall walls and it never slide out of place.
Another EZ way is a few well placed 2x4s nailed vertically to the outside building line. That way, the plate can always be shoved over with a good sledge hammer, to position the plate correctly. That hinge is another good way, but it requires more labor, and is prone to error. Consider all the extra labor that will be required, if that "hinge" is not positioned correctly.
Ewes Fred. EPl Ed Ted yrs. Greco gibed. Yuck .
5:56 Okay wow Kevin
At least he had the decency to ask
@@andru451 consent
Kevin pulls those lines all the time. My fav is when a chef is demonstrating how to cook noodles on an induction stovetop to the woman who owns the home and he says, "Who doesn't love a long noodle?" And she bursts out into nervous laughter.
@@mrpiccolo23 hahahaha. I remember that one.
Kevin: In the future, when you are touring a plant with a lot of automation, could you please remember to spend a little time giving credit to the plant's designers? This laminated strand lumber factory must have had more than one genius involved in getting all of that equipment to work together in harmony. I would love to see you interview at least one of them, and pick their brains for 10 or 20 minutes. THANKS!
the engineers never get credit in our society, it's very sad. Think about the guys who designed the Tesla Giga Factory!
That Kevin...what the heck
The engineers in automation processes often just get it in the same zip code as the ballpark, theres a couple little guys that end up doing the final programming and setup that take it from ballpark all the way to home plate.
These were also referred to as engineered beam… I used them is a house I built in the 80s along with the engineered floor joist that are 2x4 capped osb. Light and 30-36’ lifted by one person…
"Hey Bill, good morning. I'm coming into your hole, okay?" Tell me show is not scripted without telling me your show is not scripted.
At least Kevin gave Bill a hearty "Goodmorning" and a warning that he was coming into his hole.
Came into your hole to say this exact thing.
Shot an entire load in Bill's hole😂😂😂
I had watched this on how its made a couple months ago, fantasic process and product
Did they remove the rolling jacks before actually fastening the beam to the wall posts? Yikes.
A big router that can flush cut sheathing is an improvement over the old days.
23:09 That looks satisfyingly fun!
Cutting an opening in the foundation for a window? No thanks. Water has a way of getting in.
Love how those nails sticking out on 20:11 😀
lol i saw that too.. engineered wood is a royal pain to drive nails into
Outstanding construction.
Saludos a Todos ustedes son grandes 🤩
I'm not sure if it was a voiceover or if he said, "we're looking to automate this part as well." right in front of the two dudes putting on the wrap. Now you know why people aren''t all that kine about working for manufacturers. Nice job TOH supporting workers. Technology and automation is coming for all of us. No wonder they want to start a nuclear war with Russia!
I like using the metal strap to foot the wall before lifting. Wish I had thought of it. I just toe-nailed the bottom plate.
Need me some sweeney 👷♂️ love that guys work👌
5:54
Kevin: hey Bill how you doin… I’m coming into your hole ok?
Bill: no reply
😂😂😂

Really TOUGH question for Tommy and Kevin:
do you really get paid for doing all this fabulous construction?
You're both really G-R-E-A-T gifts to retired Owner-Builders
who are always in the market for the best advice on planet Earth.
(Having reached golden years, we don't need to swing any more hammers'
just show younger noobs how to remove shiners.)
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! LUV U 2!

Gotta love the Canadians switching to imperial for the video
Motors that run on 400 hertz are usually designed for military equipment, so this is a more efficient motor.
I can't believe he was coming into his hole

Very smart to use water for dust control while cutting concrete.

As a Florida resident… none of this really applies… houses are built so different
5:53 - Not today Kevin!
Dual purpose = 1 cools motor, 2 lubricates the blade, 3 keeps the dust down. Wouldn't this be triple functional??? I'm no mathemagician, but....
I don't mind the engineering behind strand lumber, but I'd rather have a plain old sawn board. It's too bad it's about impossible to find a good one anymore
Did you see Kevin put on his empty tool belt o wait he had a tape measure lucky the team has him
Ronald "Butch" DeFeo called...wants his knotty pine walls back
Siempre los veo pero no aprendo nada!!! 🤣
10:18 loader just banging all the logs against the wall like lining up a bunch of straws. Operator.
That factory only has a few more people to replace with machines. That's sad. 😔
It’s progress. Hopefully the people in those positions are working for their next position in the company or somewhere else.
The people could be the new persons who maintain the automated equipment.
Agreed, and I'm sure those folks working within hearing distance of the automation comment greatly appreciated it.
@@ssg8051 those employees were likely already aware their job was going away.
@@scallywag1716 Probably, but it doesn't mean they wanted to be reminded while being filmed.
@@ssg8051 there’s a lot of things I don’t want in life, but guess what? It’s life. Hopefully, the reminder will help them be motivated to take the next step in their job or career.
19:40 "we're working on it." I hope those wrap station employees heard that.
I'm just imagining 50 yrs ago all those stations had Dozens of people.
@Treedom Vellacroix well osb has been around since 60's and 70's. (Plus they probably had other wood products at their factory b4 then
Automate everything and cut those jobs!
19:36 we haven't automated this yet we are working on it...WOW just say we are working on putting everyone on unemployment ..
What is your cost difference between LSL and conventional 2x4, 2x6, 2x8, etc lumber?
Last episode they said it's double the cost of conventional framing.
Try to keep up Kevin.
Closed captions...Please!!! (Not the auto-generated ones). 😩😫😭
Is that pressed wood fire resistant?
OSB studs!? I refuse to use any of it in a house but studs. If they were plywood they would not snap in two like that. Plywood is better. :)
Strand board. Put it up against plywood. In the stress test strand board snaps. Plywood will break but does not snap. I understand the strand board and OSB are cheaper but in the long run it does not stand up like solid lumber and plywood. Look into MPP too. New product and very strong. 🙂
Hola como estan??
60 hz to 400 hz in increasing the frequency/speed of the motor/saw. That doesn’t boost the power.
It could be a vfd but a 400hz motor does boost the power density a bunch. Likely it's to reduce the size of the motor to make it man portable. The increase in power (density) he mentioned isn't out of line.
@@anullhandle Quite correct. It might not even be a VFD since 400Hz is actually common for (US) military stuff. It was standardized over 60Hz equipment long ago before modern switching power supplies. In addition to the higher power density, any magnetic elements like transformers automatically shrink significantly. Pretty much all AC electrical stuff on aircraft is 400Hz.
19:38 "haven't automated this yet, we're working on it" this guy is also one of the ones saying McDonald's workers don't need 15 dollars an hour because that shouldn't be a career...
Open concept now officially turned its tide. Going back to closed concept for family members needing private isolated spaces to do their work or school lessons.
@@Kevin-mp5of And no more toilets, they're so racist! From now on, when you go to the hardware store they only have bottles and pots of different sizes in what used to be the toilet section.
@Frank Silvers You're basically describing an entire first floor of an average typical home being without walls. So not nonsense in any sense at all.
@Frank Silvers Hate to be a family member who has to deal with your idiotic comments on a daily basis. Bet they can't wait to get into a closed concept home to stay the hell out of your way.
Geeze Kevin, *phrasing
I know they mentioned it but wouldn't a steel beam still be better. Even if they pack it with wood? What's the price difference?
Tree fiddy
Lot more labor and crane cost with steel
Weeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!
Haha
Somewhere in new England this old house will be working. Rather than four years of college. Why not find a company that does plumbing, wood or electrical. A company that's not rough around the edges. Do this for four years. After the four years is up. You will not have a problem getting a good job. Maybe open your own shop. minus the fifty thousand
One hundred thousand or even higher student loan that you would have from college. Then no Guarantee
Of a job. That most likely you will end up hating.
Took down a wall, just to add just 1 more foot of height? That's a waste of money.
Probably cost 5k to rebuild it with 2x4. But being that he used 2x6, and he said it would double the cost.
10k was wasted right there.
like i tell alot of people.. most our wood comes from canada....
In all my years pandemic or not I was ALWAYS taught from a young age to remove your glove to shake hands.....
My wife wanted an open concept. I divorced her.
LSL plant is bad to the bone!
How many bank heists has Bill pulled ahff with that sawr?
@@brianglade848 He's still at lahge! Thah's gonna be moah.

Hey guys, lemme know if you need a community manager to keep this junk off your comments section.
Why is the host wearing a tool belt?
You can't fool anyone with that crap.
If you need just a drink holder, then just have a drink holder on ur belt.
Bob Vila never wore a tool belt. At worst a hammer hanger on his pants belt or a cloth apron. Steve Thomas wore a toolbelt, but he also became a builder and a member of the Timber Framer's Guild.

Kevin, why are u so timid when it comes to manual labor. What the hell do you mean I got to get me one of those, for what's so that it could collect dust.
