    Good video. Not to the be the safety police, but you should put a temp brace across the big window openings. The thing is the the knee high sill under it. On the walkway opening if you lost your balance out of you can keep your feet under yourself and at most break an ankle, but with the knee high sill, you go over that you are landing head first. This is especially easy when moving cameras around and looking at a view finder.

I helped him on many of them during different stages but I was a teen and wasn't very interested. Now that I am much older (and arguably wiser), in my second home, I needed some help on certain projects, and my dad was first to offer but unfortunately he just isn't as good and skilled as he once was. Age. :( I HAD the opportunity for him to really show me (and he did try and I picked some stuff up) while he was in his glory days but I squandered a lot of that opportunity. After my first house (which was really a fixer-upper to flip to buy the nice house Im in) now I am WANTING to better hone my skills but no one to teach me. :`( I can say I am very grateful he is still with us and I am sorry you didn't have one around or that he is no longer with us.

      My father whipped my ass for breaking a couple of wheel studs off his Plymouth Fury III.
      Anyone who's familiar with those cars know that Chryslers, for many, many years had left-had threaded lug nuts and studs on the driver's side of the vehicle - some only on the front, some on both the front and the rear.
      At around 14 or 15, I had no idea. Broke 2 of them using a lug wrench - which, having been a mechanic for 20+ years and looking back, was quite a feat for a kid who had to get a weight-based waiver to go into the military.
      My father was one of those "ignorance is no excuse" kind of guys, so I got the belt for him failing to teach me.

      @@billsmith9249 I had a guy do a remodel on my kitchen, a few years back.
      He was probably in his mid-70s, good guy, and you could tell he really knew his stuff.
      Unfortunately, what he knew didn't make it to his hands, and I literally had to re-do some of his work. For instance, he didn't account for what apparently was dimensional lumber used on the original build when he extended a wall. As a result, the drywall on the addition sat a quarter inch "lower" (or further back) than the original wall. I ended up removing the drywall he installed, nailing up a quarter inch piece of plywood, and re-drywalling.
      Surprise! to anyone who goes to install another outlet, though chances of that happening aren't very likely. The outlet is centered and the total width of the wall is within code. That wouldn't stop anyone like my wife, however.

    @mikequartucci9700 Před rokem +9

    Hey Stud Pack, if you go with the recessed vaulted ceiling over the shower, why not consider installing a solar tube for natural lighting? After the roof trusses are installed, you can rough it in so that the bottom finish ring will be flush with the finished ceiling. You also will be able to install the adjustable vertical light tubing all the way up through the trusses and exit out through the top of the roof, with a weatherproof sealing ring on the finished roof. A great and easy way to get natural light into the shower, much easier than installing a skylight.

    • @MrRustyjackson

  • @funkygawy
    @funkygawy Před rokem +25

    I love the inwall tanks, but here I think make a little bumped-out wall for the toilet tank, maybe 4 inches deep, rather than put the toilet in the exterior wall. This will give you full insulation behind the tank and protect from nails from the outside - plus it makes a nice natural shelf behind the toilet. This could extend behind the sink too - like the tiled top of the pony wall behind the sinks in the Chevy bathroom..Seems super easy, doesn't even take up more room.

    • @ronlovell5374
      @ronlovell5374 Před rokem

      They are in Texas though, 2 inches of foam insulation would definitely be enough! The toilets I've installed like this required a 2×6 wall anyway for the rack assembly, so in our climate in 🇨🇦, a secondary wall is a must.

    You could have preinstalled the headers for the windows before raising the wall-that would have been a given regardless of window height, then frame the sill later. (Easier to install on the deck).
    Pro tip: When framing interior door openings, pre-slit both sides of the bottom plate of the door opening and leave about 1/2” left of the plate. When it’s time to fully remove the plate cutout, it’ll be square, and quicker to remove. I guarantee you’ll love this.

    Look at the code for framing. You may be allowed to use 2x6 at 24" centers. It saves time, costs no more for material, better insulation, less drywall screws thus less mud. Think about it on the house.

    • @chasnetzow4401
      @chasnetzow4401 Před rokem

      I always built on 24” centers to save lumber and increase insulation. Code allowed up to 10 ft walls with 2x6s. I found that 5/8 drywall on the walls worked best with 24” centers, and the cost increase was minimal. It makes for strong and flat walls. 5/8” t and g roof sheeting always seemed well worth the slught cost increase too. Again, strong and flat.
      Looking fine guys!

    You fellas are saying all the right things as far as air sealing/insulating, but seem to be missing some simple options that would greatly improve your blower door score!

      @@markmckenzie5343 yeah they put sill sealer and Lexel I believe between the foundation and 1st floor. I reckon if they're gonna use zip system and tape the whole building it should be fairly airtight, but isolating the apartment from the garage always seems like a good idea to me. Hard to get a garage door properly sealed, so $40 worth of Lexel/acoustic sealant/etc can make a big difference in air sealing.

    Great work guys. Love it. One thing to think about is making that house so tight to where you need mechanical ventilation. In my opinion (I built a house that blower doors at 2ach50.) The mechanical ventilation eats more electricity than a house that leaks a more desirable amount of air. I think the sweet spot is between 3-5 ach50 with no mechanical ventilation system

    • @locke3141
      @locke3141 Před rokem

    I was thinking during the video about how lucky Jordan is to have his father, who is so knowledgeable in the building trade, helping him. While Paul hasn't built a house from the ground up before, the wealth of knowledge and the vast experience from doing renovations really helps immensely. I love the explanations of why he does what he does, and the thinking behind it. The strategic thinking, as well as the tactical mindset is like a carpenter and a general contractor all rolled up into one.
    And, let us not forget Jordan's cousin. How awesome is it to be working with family? It's great that he's able to be there for his cousin, and like someone else mentioned, he's gonna need his own home as well.
    The best part is that both guys are getting an apprenticeship in renovation and now, in building a house; especially in the entire life cycle of building; from dreaming, to planning, to working with engineers, with permitting departments, suppliers and various trades. That right there is priceless.
    The one criticism I have is that I see Paul doing most of the work. Not that Jordan and Rad don't work; they do, and they work hard. This is especially true when it comes to measuring, cutting, laying out, and even a lot of the nailing. It will slow down the process, but the guys need to get more hands on with all that. If they are, I'm not seeing it.
    Loving the series though.

    As to the bathroom windows: I would mirror the three small, square windows you're planning for the upper stairwell wall with identical ones in the bathroom wall. High windows in the bath would provide lots of light while maintaining privacy and provide a matching design element between those two opposing walls, on the exterior. This would also preserve some extra wall space in the bathroom for storage shelves over the commode.

    Bathroom window definitely over the toilet; never an operating window in the shower (looking for issues down the road). Also, the plans show a rookie mistake: 5'-4" leaves a 1/2" extra because the outside wall was planned as 2x4 (3.5"), not 4". You guys used 2x6 (5.5") so it should have a 60" inside to inside dimension (not 5'-4" - 3 1/2" = 60 1/2") if you're using a commercially available shower pan. If you do a custom pan, then no problem. Most people don't go custom. Hopefully that makes sense.
