    You're not an official carpenter on a This Old House project until you've framed a room with Norm.
    Today the TOH apprentices -- Bailey, Austin and Nathan -- learn framing from the master.
    Kevin enters through the new addition and goes up through the house to find them in the new master suite, framing the bathroom wall.
    It's almost time to order cabinets for the kitchen. Kevin finds Joe and Liz meeting with a kitchen designer at a local cabinet company to discuss the final layout of the kitchen using 3-D software. Then they settle on a cabinet door style and narrow down the options for color.
    Meanwhile, it's time for rough plumbing to start on the house. Richard takes time to teach the apprentices the basics. They start by building the drain stack for the new master bath.
    Outside, the apprentices are making progress on the front porch. Kevin finds Tommy and his young crew laying fir decking on the frame they made last week. Using the old-school method of hammering, Tommy teaches them various tricks to nail in the fir boards.

    Every plumbing rough I see with Richard, he dry fits everything then pulls it apart and glues it. I don’t dry fit something unless I have to. I wonder if they chamfer and sand down the outside so it fits nice and easy for tv. Also clear primer, that’s a big no no. I only use it on set outs

    • @benkeysor7576
      @benkeysor7576 Před 3 lety

      Dry fitting is good practice if you have multiple connections. You don't sand PVC because that is what primer is for. I used to sand CPVC when I didn't have any primer on emergency water line repairs and they hold fine although that really isn't the way to do it.
      Clear primer/cleaner actually cleans the pipe and allows it to hold better, at least on CPVC. The purple primer is strictly for show to allow the work to pass inspection. Most plumbers actually use clear primer and then swab the connection with purple afterwards for inspection. Either Richard did that off-camera or nobody is going to question his work.

    I know this series is over and the apprenticeships are probably over, but do you teach your apprentices best safety practices or teach them about chemical SDS?

I know I’m probably nitpicking here but just had to ask.

  • @benkeysor7576
    @benkeysor7576 Před 3 lety +1

    It's about time those young-in's learned how to swing a hammer and how to drive nails, especially finish nails which can be a pain to drive without experience but Tom should have showed them how to set a nail with another nail because you're not always going to have a nail set. They should also really be doing more nailing by hand instead of using nail guns because it's a good skill to learn since you'll always have a hammer & nail and not a nail gun and air compressor. It's always best to learn how to do something two ways and start with the hard/old fashioned way.
