    these are the songs I use in my videos (not in order)
    intro- undertale -megalovania
    cold driven -the wicked side of me
    sidewise- this time
    fivefold - know-it-all
    cold Kingdom - the light
    ravenface - be silent
    just a side note it's not easy getting songs to use that are copyright free. I spent hours searching for music I can use in my videos. these are the best songs I found that have lyrics and a complete songs. So I'll probably use these in a lot of my videos. When I find better songs or create some myself I'll start using those. hope you guys enjoy comment below :-)

      Nomadic INK are you at open job? Or is it 100% union? Sometimes that’s the case. And then sometimes the GC has an agreement that the other trades clean up after themselves. Depends. But I’m most cases in Boston, laborers don’t want anyone touching their work. It also helps that our mayor is still a card carrying member of the laborers union.

    • @NomadicINK
      @NomadicINK  Před 5 lety +1

      It's 100% union on most of these jobs. And yeah each trade has to clean up after themselves. Whats the pay out in Boston? We just worked out a new contract here. At 45 plus now.

    What part of the country are you in? I worked in Cincinnati area ( Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky, and we always stood board up on commercial jobs. If layout was off I’d unscrew the stud from the track n reset it. I’ve even screwed a piece of trackto the face of a stud widening the available screwing area to 3 1/2 “ ( on exterior load bearing walls that couldn’t be moved) my boss didn’t like butt joints on commercial jobs so you had to be inventive

    Hey James so thanks for responding to me ..last time hey so just looked at another job to small basement .. two walls down there metal stud hung already the problem is the people had some water proofing done and they demo out the concrete down there and damage and ripped the bottom track out and bent the studs 2 feet up .. now the guy need that repaired what are your thoughts

    • @NomadicINK
      @NomadicINK  Před 5 lety

      Production yes but quality 1st so there's less coming back later to fix cracked drywall or any other warranty work.
      We get up as much as we can as clean as we can. clean work before production wins in the long run.

    Why are they using studs for the headers

    • @NomadicINK
      @NomadicINK  Před 5 lety

      I think its for the type of door that's going in later. They still have a track as header but the stud is attached to the bottom and the studs on the sides are soft side to the door.

    • @Aarie73
      @Aarie73 Před 5 lety +1

      Nomadic INK, it’s called a box header and soft side out studs at the door opening probably means it’s an aluminum doorframe going in.

    • @NomadicINK
      @NomadicINK  Před 5 lety

      Yeah but a box header is built as 2 studs and 2 tracks to make a box. This is just a track header with a stud turned out. Didn't know both types of headers were called box headers.

    • @Aarie73
      @Aarie73 Před 5 lety +1

      Nomadic INK you are correct, my bad it is not a box header. The soft side of the studs are turned that way to allow the installation of an aluminum door frame such as a Wilson frame. The soft side helps the installation by minimizing the amount that the frame flanges flair out because they go over the drywall. If the hard side is out it doesn’t have any “give” or flexibility and tends to cause the flanges of the frame to splay outwards.
