I started framing in 1986 and retired last year. I miss it. I miss building things and the smell of fresh cut lumber. Thanks for these videos. It makes me want to frame again.
Essential Craftsman I have been struggling during this time with the pass of my father I’m only 16 but I love construction and tools but I had very little tools but I have gotten all of my fathers no watching your channel helps a lot you inspire me too think more see how to fix problems get my hands on a hammer and nails and build something. You remind me of my father you use the same tools act the same a real class mans man. So I just wanted to say thank you for that.
Many different designs for each type of project are also included. For example, there are hundreds of designs ruclips.net/user/postUgkxb2mhCug-GkCWrq69Ce2I0nM0D4QpxAqu for outdoor buildings, from small sheds all the way up to a complete stable. Choose whatever type of shed or storage house is right for you. Pick from fancy ones or more utilitarian designs.
Please do an episode for coffee and lunch break.. I am intrigued as to what’s in your lunch box at this point lol. I am blessed by your approach and ability to inspire me to be proud of being a general contractor.
A true SKILLED PROFESSIONAL, I'm an auto mechanic (37yrs) and watching and listening to you is such a joy. You're always 3-4 steps ahead in your thinking than where you are in the present. I enjoy doing carpentry at home it reminds me of being with my grandfather and it's really satisfying at the end of a job / process and see what has come out of your efforts. You take pride in your work and it shows. Thank You for being able to put it all together in this format for all of us to learn from and enjoy also. Nate does a wonderful job of weaving all the shots and audio together and the two of your sure put out a fine product . Keep up the good work.
It’s a joy to watch a quality craftsman and see the resulting beauty emerge. I’ve worked in construction my entire life and have seen the good, bad, and ugly. You, Sir, are an example of quality! I love your channel. Thanks for sharing.
Your videos continue to improve. Denser in information and more fluid videos. I built a few houses also and at least for me the music represents the rhythm of building a house, or at least sometimes does when the stresses don’t overwhelm. Thanks for continuing to produce my favorite video series on RUclips.
Thanks for helping everyone be better at what they do. Your not only helping others be better builders, but your also helping others be better human beings. Thanks again Scott.
he has no idea on what hes doing. No h-clips is a big no no...his rafters didnt even plain to his ledger. Litterally hilarious...i watch this for the comedy
Loving the build, it's absolutely fantastic!! Sure was nice to finally see some fall protection used even it was for only a couple of seconds worth of video.
You're providing great tutorials on some complex framing topics. Hopefully your roofing and flashing gets covered likewise. I have seen many a framer I wouldn't dare use on a house like that, and roofers as well. The junction between the garage and house in front is "problem area" for many. Our cookie cutter housing world has generated a large number if partially qualified tradesman. None of it is overly complicated, but many never get the opportunity to be taught the do's and don'ts of "problem" areas. You have to be educating many more than you know. Great videos, thanks for sharing
Boy do you make good videos and thanks for explaining your thoughts and why you’re doing what ever it is your doing.. Thank you very much. From Missouri
I like how you explain everything very clear and understandable so everyone, even people who are not a carpenters like me, can follow everything. Keep it up!
Do you guys have a Spotify playlist of music? I love the music you play on your videos and podcast. A whole playlist of the type of music would be awesome.
I appreciate your knowledge and the sharing of it,I could watch you for hours and hours and days and days at a time thank you so much I appreciate you so much
This was such a lovely episode. Makes me just want to go into my little shed and nail some stuff together with my nail gun. It must be so pleasant to be working up on that roof, with all that fresh air and beautiful scenery to look at. I'll be thinking of that as I stack shelves at my supermarket tomorrow lol
I’ve been watching your channel periodically for more than two years AND ALL THIS TIME COME TO FIND OUT YOURE FROM ROSEBURG??? I LIVE LESS THAN A MILE FROM YOURE STORE. How exactly have I spaced the fact that one of my go to handyman/skill wells of knowledge has been right down the road this entire time??? You’ve helped me gain and retain employment and have been invaluable to my home projects. Life is so very strange some times. Please continue creating content, young guys like myself far too often have no one to help guide their projects. You have often been a prime substitution.
Amona Lysa In that part of United States, most people use aluminum gutters with downspouts. But, on the eastern part of Oregon where it’s much drier gutters are less common. Is that what you were referring to?
Scott is getting so fast with that nail gun LOL (good lord Nate that is a LOT of editing!!) That is one complex roof, you certainly know what you are doing Scott. Love the videos! Cheers from Tokyo!
How's it goin team EC, I recall a past video saying ol Scotty was into repelling. Seeing this safety harness in use makes me wonder when, where, and how you would anchor off. Thanks boys for all your hard work
The safety harness wasn't OSHA compliant, You need a lanyard snapped into the ring on his back not wrapped around his waist. On that type of slopped roof I like My SALA slider lock-ring that is attached to the main tie rope, with a sala as you move up the roof you can shake the lanyard and shorten up the grip on the main rope . You can buy several types of roof attachments d ring straps metal brackets. welt on for steel structures. and sometimes I would go clear over the roof down to a post, around window openings.
I'm watching the roofing videos with great interest. this coming summer I have to build a small gable extension and probably re-roof a garage. I'm keeping a close eye on all the 'little bits' you do but don't always mention. Very helpful. I will say that first on the list of things to get is a fall harness. I'm almost as old and modestly experienced compared to you but I've been a stickler for safety gear since I've been a kid. Thanks for the great content.
I've always wondered just what "a hitch in yer git-along" looked like. At 3:30 you show exactly that it is. And it has buckles and belts and snaps and loops, and it looks really, reEeEEeEEEaly comfortable. But as uncomfortable and sometimes inconvenient as they can be, safety equipment -- belts, gloves,, helmets, lineman's gloves, 'glasses and goggles and shields, oh my' -- has saved me serious injury any number of times. While it may take a little longer to do some things, at the end of the day, it's better to be able to go home with everything intact.
What is it about building, about making, about creating things that moves us to spend the early part of the day doing it, and the later part of the watching it‽ Thanks (again) for sharing!
Very impressive work and narration as usual. Thanks for finally wearing a safety harness. How many cases of fasteners have been used so far? Would you consider using plywood instead of osb for all sheathing?
I wanted to say that the house is looking great!!! I know by now it's finished but I had a couple of questions I hope will be covered. I've had to repair a few shed dormers from water damage and subsequent wood rot. When I saw you rolling out that felt paper parallel to the dormer I had a fear, why not run it perpendicular and step flash it up the dormer wall a little. Then I thought about your exterior mounted corbels and wondered why you didn't just run some wrap under them tacked at the top to then overlap lower wraps. I'm looking forward to the roofing and house wrap vids.
While your bags and setup hasn't changed; I see you are enjoying the new belt sent in by a subscriber. Sometimes a little new is a perfect addition to the tried-and-true.
The accuracy he is fabricating in this wobbly cut is astonishing. And yes, the safety is really bad... Don't get hurt Scott! .. and keep up the good work.
Using a battery leaf blower is a good safety method to keep the sawdust off so you don't slip. I have used a leaf blower when we just had a bit of new fluffy snow.
I need to get a new bag. I saw your video on it a few years ago, but I still haven’t broken down and bought an ox bag yet. Soon if I continue to swing a hammer.
He should be getting all kinds of freebies, i got my skilsaw,my buckaroo belt based on his reviews and am happy with them. That buckaroo belt i wish i had it since i started the trade back in 2000 . Commercial metal framer. Local 9144 Northern California... watching him work is so soothing i go mimis like a baby at night when momma reads baby a book lol 😁👍
I was doing roofing for 10 years when younger. As far as i know this is still the go to underlayment. Except we used the ice dam and usually 2 rows worth at the bottom of the roof here in Michigan. Anothwr thing inalways tell everyone is make sure you understand the shingle warranty. Especially the part of how many nails per shingle should be used. 30-35 needs 5 and 40-50 needs 6 or 7. Ensure your contractor is putting thw proper amount. You dont want to lose a shingle and the shingle rep comes out and counts the nails and theres not enough and the warranty is void and youre SOL. Since then ive found 2 contractors that werent doing it right. One was my aints house. I looked over the estimate and they charged for the proper number of nails however when i heard their guns going i was only counting 4 nails per shingle. Luckily i called them on it when rheyre were only half way up one side. They had to tear off amd start ober at their cost and throw away those shingles. The boss acted like he didnt know but i have a feeling its how he did business
An easy way to figure bottom cut on those lay-on rafters with a speed square... Pivot square to main roof pitch. Mark lay-on (steeper) pitch without moving square Pivot square to pencil mark.
@@maleficentcop2752 if you have a 10 pitch on a 6 pitch (or a 6 pitch porch on a 10 pitch) pivot the square to 6 common, hold it there, then mark a pencil point right at 10 common. Now pivot further, connecting pivot point with pencil mark. It will be a steep angle.
I miss wearing my nailbag...... I framed for 12 years went from a ground hand to a foreman and got out of carpentry to be a driver. That's why I watch u and mattbangswood on utube cause yall remind me of the good ol days.
@@adamskidmore6470 yea it took me about 3 years to be a air hand and another 4 to make it to popping lines and laying walls out and roofs layouts... u know natural progression was tote hand,ground hand, saw hand, air hand,then foreman. At least for the guys I worked for
Looking great EC. Now I understand the reason you cut the ridge out on the dormer for ventilation, but it’s not clear how that’s not going to affect the roof structurally. If you have an opportunity I expand on the dormers someday I’d like to see it. In addition It’s always been a bit confusing how the roof load of dormers are transferred to the bearing points. Keep up the good work fellas!
I was wondering the same thing myself, but if you think about it, there's 2 things; 1) there's really not a lot of load on that small overstack, and 2) that horizontal 2x really isn't carrying any kind of a load itself. The video doesn't show it clearly, but I'm pretty sure that the jack rafters of the overstack are butted up against the rafters on the opposite pitch, like true rafters in a traditional rafter roof, there is no need for vertical support under the jack rafters, so that 2x he cut into isn't acting as a beam, merely transferring horizontal load to the opposite rafter.
I watched this video a few days ago but today I got to have a really good laugh coming back to the content of this video. At one point you decide for the need to harness up and tie in. Well our neighbors are having a new roof installed and all 6 workers are wearing harnesses and not a rope nor anchor point in sight. The roof pitch is even flatter than your dormer roof.
I have a question about the roof sheathing. How come they are not glued down? I remember from when you were putting the floor sheathing down that they are glued because of squeaks and for structural strength. From there on I assumed that for the roofing it would be the same deal?
Nice video like always . Notch cut : I dont know if it makes any difference but it sure cant hurt . I wished there would be more ppl like you out there . Im doing just the same if i see an oportunity to make my work better i do it . Afterwards "workbuddys" tell me thats a waste of time and run of to my boss . He comes to me and claps my shoulder and says gj my mann . The weird thing is the same person doesnt get his ars out of his pants the whole day but tells me "thats a waste of time" ... some ppl .
William D., It's better to lose a job than to be unconfident in the quality of the work. I have done construction, mortuary, firefighting and tree pruning. It applies everywhere. I am a remarried widower. New Wife decided to sign on as my pruning apprentice. She enjoys learning quality tree work. And glows when the client praises our work. It makes the time and effort all worth it. And it is a good part of my second crack at a good marriage. And I try to do the same for her.
Just outstanding, really looking like there’s some hellish intersections coming your way. Want to see all I can please put more framing on.👍👍👍😎🇨🇱 so far she’s a beauty, one of a kind classic!!👍

An easy way to figure bottom cut on those lay-on rafters with a speed square...
Pivot square to main roof pitch.
Mark lay-on (steeper) pitch without moving square

Nice video like always . Notch cut : I dont know if it makes any difference but it sure cant hurt . I wished there would be more ppl like you out there . Im doing just the same if i see an oportunity to make my work better i do it . Afterwards "workbuddys" tell me thats a waste of time and run of to my boss . He comes to me and claps my shoulder and says gj my mann . The weird thing is the same person doesnt get his ars out of his pants the whole day but tells me "thats a waste of time" ... some ppl .

It's better to lose a job than to be unconfident in the quality of the work. I have done construction, mortuary, firefighting and tree pruning. It applies everywhere.
I am a remarried widower. New Wife decided to sign on as my pruning apprentice. She enjoys learning quality tree work. And glows when the client praises our work. It makes the time and effort all worth it.
And it is a good part of my second crack at a good marriage. And I try to do the same for her.
Nice job 👍
