In Mark McCullough's backyard, general contractor Tom Silva is getting to work on the framing. After installing oversized pressure-treated lumber around the perimeter of the foundation, Tom explains how to layout framing for fast, efficient, and accurate work. He also explains how to build inside corners and the different types of studs in a wall. With the entire crew on hand to help, the team makes and lifts the walls into place to create the structure of the chicken barn.

To frame the new barn, Tom and the rest of the team used a combination of 2x4” stock framing lumber [thd.co/3oG2R2j] for the studs and 2x6” stock framing lumber [thd.co/3FqVnal] for the roof rafters. To secure the boards together, the team used a variety of framing nails with a nail gun. All of these items can be found at home centers and lumberyards.

"Roof leaks a little now. But, we'll fix that."
Tommy total genius and comic relief. Simply the best. Bet ya he signs autographs even when he is putting gas in his vehicle. Rock star status for sure.
He sure does.
Very cool seeing almost the full roster working together.. wonder where norm is.. and will always miss roger
Norm’s actually never been on Ask This Old House. He’s only on This Old House.
This has been the full roster since Roger left last year
Seriously?! Norm is obviously, and rightfully so, taken on the role of… foreman.
Good to see the entire crew of “ask this old house” in the same project, you are the best in building…👏👏👏
Always great to see co-workers all pitching in together ❤ Blessings
This is rad, seeing the whole crew working together on this.
It's amazing how different regions have very different looking PT lumber. It's brownish here in Washington where I'm at and my buddy in Michigan tells me theirs is greenish. Meanwhile wherever this was filmed it looks like normal wood tone. Nice coop! Happy chickens! :)
Nice to see that the whole crew came to help mark rebuild. Shows how much of a family they are.
So good to see the crew coming together and helping each other. Heartwarming.
Nice to see the whole gang together
I love bingeing on your episodes. I was raised watching #ThisOldHouse since 5yrs old and my grown sons were raised on this show as well. #Great job and #Keepupthegreatwork #ILoveThisOldHouse 💪🏿😍❤
Amen!!!
Do you ever watch This Old House on the Roku Channel? They have two free live channels. The This Old House classic channel shows older episodes with Bob Vila and Steve Thomas 24 hrs a day.
@@jondeforge8266 no, but, now I know! I will check it out. #Thankyou
Good to see all masters come together for this project.
Wow it’s nice seeing the whole group working to help each other.
Great seeing you all woking on this project!!!
They are all together. Wow!
Awesome teamwork of professional "family"
I’ll always have an affinity for these guys and this show. True tradesmen.
Almost the full recent roster.
I hope Norm and Roger are doing well.
Norm is never on Ask This Old House. He's only on This Old House.
Roger left last year and Jen took over. He's not doing well, unfortunately
@@aurvaroy6670 An answer to no one's question.
@@ALAPINO Okay??? I just wanted to explain why Norm and Roger weren't there
@@ALAPINO well, look who learned a snarky comment from the internet and finally got a chance to use it on someone other than his wife.
@@illiniwood What I would give to able to use it on my wife: COVID-19 had other plans.
Roof leaks a little.. but we'll fix that! Good one Tommy! I do like the in lay support
I enjoy seeing team work in progress to accomplish a common goal!
From Steve Garcia, I wish you guys from" this old house" could help me build a den to my house 🏠. I want two of the walls to have big, big windows. I've been watching your show for 40 years. I LOVE YOUR SHOW.
One problem Tommy 3/4" ply in between would make you to thick your 2x4s are 3 1/2" unless you have real 2x4 lumber. Only thing missing was Roger.
probably 1/2" "3/4""
Should use 1/2” ply at the header as a 2x is 1-1/2” doubled is 3” and a 2x4 is 3-1/2”.
Cool that you all would do that for Mr Mark
Imagine the years of experience there putting that shed up. Very cool!
Seeing all the guys working together nice.
And gal.
That's one heck of a crew
So great to see most of the team working together!
No that's the whole team. No one's missing in that video
Chicken House is built better than some wood frame homes I've seen over the years
Better than my house ! lol.
Wow everyone from the show in a single video shot. 👍
All the gang working together, 👍🏼 excellent video.
I like Tommy’s hat, for those that don’t know, that spells out WTF, in signal flags lol
Love how kevin stands by while everyone else raises the wall
Anyone else wondering if he meant 1/2 plywood for the header, or does he have some 2x8 with a strange thickness?
Wait? He’s human too? 😆
@@ca_ged Tommy is no mere mortal.
@@coryulrich6489 you’re right. I shall seek forgiveness by sacrificing a 2x4 at the Altar of the Framing Square.
@@ca_ged 🤣
2x anything is 1 1/2” true dimensions. Has to add in the 1/2 plywood to get it to 3 1/2 which is the width of dimensional lumber
Wouldn’t 1.5+.75+1.5=3.75? Which is .25” thicker than your 3.5” stud?
Yep, I was going to mention the same thing, along with the fact, that because of the rafters being tight against the top plates, the plywood sides will have to be notched to cover the top plate and have any strength. Dumb build.
@@tonyparker3506 there will not be any plywood sides…they mentioned that in the video. It’s a chicken coop shed. If ya know anything…
@@scallywag1716 No plywood sides? It's a chicken coup/shed? Weird how the bottom plate is pressure treated and the studs aren't. Using wire? Would still need to notch it also. And I didn't even mention the waste of an extra 2x4 as a bottom plate when they only needed the single pressure treated. 30+ years carpenter here.
Hey look everyone! A CZcams Master Carpenter! Wow. Everybody listen closely, he's got 300 years experience.
@@gasfiltered Well, carpentry has been around for a very long time, and I've learned from the knowledge gained in that time, but I only said 30+, not 300. Now tell me, are you a carpenter and did you catch the mistake about the 3/4 inch plywood? Nope, so stfu.
Great video, lady and gentlemen!
HI TOH , Tom's working so hard that his glasses split apart , just kidding , thanks for the tips guys ! 👍😃🛠
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but at 2:13 he said a piece of 3/4" plywood. Wouldn't that make the header 1/4" wider than the wall studs (1 1/2" for the 2x8, 1 1/2" for the other 2x8, and 3/4" for the plywood = 3 3/4")? The studs are 3 1/2". I'm just making sure I'm not missing something.
0:07 -- What's that about a fire?! 😳
I really like these videos. Now I know all I need to do is hire 9 professionals.
I'm not entirely sure if Kevin is a "professional"...
When standing the walls, is it ok to have the end walls on the outside of the side walls at the corners? I hope my question is understandable. Essentially placing the side walls inside the end walls.
GREAT JOB...
Shed is a good project for beginners
Beautiful.
This is very. Good work
Great Crew
All hands on deck!!
What a team 👍🏼
Most of us would be doing this solo and maybe add a few friends to raise the walls because the cost of lunch for a crew of 9 guys might be more than the structure after a few days.
HI why they only use nail not the screws ? Thanks
Beautiful 👍👍
Very nice 😊
must see the rest of this construction :)
I love Tommy's hat. For those who can read it...
Where is the rest of this?
When all your uncles get together
What is the hourly rate on this build
It looks like you cut a dado/lap with about 12 cuts from a miter or circ saw, and then bashed the rest out with a hammer. I'm building something with a lot of half laps, and those are the tools I have. Is that the fastest way to cut them out (doesn't have to look good)? Thanks!
Yes, that is standard for making notches in framing. I would recommend making your cuts with the circular saw 1/16 deeper than what you want to end up with so you don't have to clean it out as much with a chisel
Thanks for the tip! How far apart do you recommend I make the cuts for 3.5” wide notch?
You guys have a full crew for this. I built mine and raised my walls by myself! Built the whole thing by myself.
tommy you are soooo funny!!!
Yeah, it's hard to find people, especially celebrities, who are funny and smart. Usually, the smart people I come across are arrogant while funny people I've known are dumber than me.
And next week chicken fights YEAH
I need new friends. I need a shed.
The big question is how did the fire start?
ask billy joel
After many years Kevin "Red Dog" got comfortable when Tommy tells him, "to hold on to the end of this". It is an insult and a funny when a carpenter to tells a helper this. It is also an insult to have someone holding everything you do. That is the same as someone wanting to suck butt and hold your hand. Cest la vie.
Does Tommy know what the flags on his hat spell?
I'd like to build something like this but can'tafford the thousands in wood it will take.
They wouldn’t let Kevin help lift the wall. Good thing he had his tool belt on.
wtf is a McCanical fastener?
Birds paying like 1500 in rent
So there are chicken coop codes? 😅😂🤣. Uhm I don’t think anyone follows them.
Tiny house
Shed.
@@ryanroberts1104 Tiny house for chickens... Or BIG one for chickens, unless you're Tyson...
Am I the only person who wears gloves when doing this type of work?
Get your job to pay for your project so they can make episode
You wut
gives me rdr2 vibes
That's over built for a chicken coop.
Fire? what fire? 'she shed' fire?
these chickens are so spoiled just the way it should be.
First
gold star
@@Andyroohigg noice
Well atleast the chickens will survive a nuclear blast
Wow, can you spell overbuilt? I guess this is how you build when money and time are no object :/
Shed? My house isn't this well built.
How to...? Ummm...
lmao. . code does NOT say you have to have that. . . lmfao. . . . such BS
Way overkill. Not reasons,e for average home owner
$20k chicken coop very reasonable for free eggs.. Minus feed cost, bedding, buying chickens.. Will pay for its self in 50 years about the time its falling apart.
