Think we can hit 70K today? Let’s make it happen! Subscribe if you haven’t already. Today’s my last day on-site before calling it quits.. COVID-19 is NOT to be messed with. BANG ON..
The sheeting under the first cricket was laid out different than the second.The first went 1/2 then full then 1/2 and seemed like more work. Secondly, in the bay area, we been shut down for over a week. No delivery and no city inspections.
Hey, there's a few things about that roof design. #1 That's an expensive roof. #2 It's time intensive. #3 That took some serious skill to pull off. #4 It's a beauty; it will look great when finished
Quite a bit more than that. We had 3 of us here for the most part, 40 a week for around 5 weeks was the goal. I need to sit down and crunch numbers on overall and see how we did.
You guys look like the slowest workers. I’ve never seen framers just stand around and light cigarettes on the job. Quality work can only get you so far
Less than 25 working days on a nearly 4,000SF custom home with 3 people.. I'm not complaining one bit. The math is simple. Every second of every day you're hauling ass going for it? Sounds like piece work.. We're not in it claiming we're the quickest, I'll let someone else take that title.
framers who know what they're doing are fantastic. can't tell you how many dead valleys here in Colorado I see up on roofs that are just miserable for ice damning and heavy rain. awesome job!
Why is the trade protecting this skill so much? The compound miter cuts are tricky. I would like to see a pro like you show us how to measure and cut the angles.
I was wondering if you needed some ideas for some content would you dad be willing to do an interview type video about how he got started and maybe how he managed to stay a float during the housing crashes and maybe his outlook on the industry today from when he started.
Shalom Matt This same concept I used to flow water in my concrete slabs We make an indent ion it he concrete known as a valley gutter to channel water from a to b
I guess people, myself too, should have had more faith in you to include a cricket! I didn't know the english term but I knew it was needed. LOL I hope you don't take it the wrong way. I definitely do not criticize your building skill or anything like that.
Great job as always Matt! Just wondering why you don't use the G90 clips between your sheeting on the roof. With all the other Calif. building requirements, I'm surprised they aren't required. And thanks for answering my earlier question about the roof slope going into a vertical wall. God bless, stay well!
Hey Matt, like that contraption tool (24:30) your grand-father came up with! If you don't mind I'll be holding on to that idea and might make one of my own.
Good video however is it not compulsory to have edge fall protection in your country? Having worked in Australia and northern Europe the site would be shut down if ran like this. Only takes one moment of not paying attention or a strong gust to wipe those guys off the roof.
As I enjoy watching you work - You have nice music playing in the background -Earth Wind & Fire (September) & I think next was Tears of Fear (Everybody Wants To Rule The world).
Nailing or tacking the osb too the roof do YOU Prefer staples or nails? and Y? On the roof do You still want the 1/8" space between sheets. As YOU do for the the sheeting the sides of A house. if not Y? Or What makes the difference OSB is OSB isn't it... thank YOU & haVe A bLessed Year...
Totally worth it. Most platforms have worm-drive style saws and as long as you can keep batteries charged you’ll be able to cut all day and not have to worry about a single cord
Only get 1 cordless saw, there’s no need for more. 1 cordless will help you when you’re on a lift platform getting moved around so you don’t have to reroute power and especially when doing roof sheathing. I don’t use cordless saws for when I’m setup doing a lot of cutting, like for studs and anything else like that. Because they do chew up your battery’s and eat there life away. It’s also annoying recharging batteries
If you have a cordless impact or drill on a makita or Milwaukee or dewalt get the same brand to stay on the same platform so you don’t have different chargers or anything like that. All three of those systems I mentioned all have good cordless saws
i'm not a carpenter or an architect, but everything i see being installed (per the plans of course) shows that there will ALWAYS be a fight against water intrusion. just smdh at this setup. great work though.
Hay Matt I like the comment , track Home don't have quality, the worst work I have ever seen is on custom homes. A lot of builders in the production of new homes today have outside inspections on site and quality is off the chain
Great build Matt, we are into our second week of complete lockdown here New Zealand ! your videos help pass some time ! All the best to yourself and family ! be safe, looking forward to finish of this project ! Bang on ! or is Lockdown on now..........
I know it sucks, but you guys have no fall protection in place. Back in my days we didnt have it but now I see a lot framing projects that have it now days.
Hey Matt, nice roof, when we start sheathing the roof I switch to the hitachi coil nailer , it holds way more nails than the stick nailer, just sayin. You guys stay safe out there :).
You made a great video, and you seem to be pushing your job right along. I just stumbled on your video, and am wondering about your roof nailing. I didn't see you guys spacing the OSB, nor using a flush nailer on your Hitachi. Are you guys just running the compressor at 100psi?
All of our guns are flush nailers, integrated to the gun, not the cheesy little attachments. NR83A5’s. We space when we nail, that’s why we hand drive it all. Space sheets 1/8” from one another, side to side and up and down. 😊
Huh I have the same gun, it is supposed to set for faster depth. But I have had nothing but problems. I had to re-shear an exterior wall and re inspect it. So I always roll with that "tacky" attachment as you called it. Hmmm I guess you have it all figured out bro. That must suck, having nothing left to learn

👋 Hello Matt Your grandfather invention tool it is an outstanding tool👏. It's, also part of 🦺 construction 🚧 history and valuable piece. 👍 Specilly a memorabilia for you & your family... Thank you for sharing that history treasure.🏅🏆 Sincerely, Mr Villalba 😎JV🇵🇷
That's a nice helper your gramps made ,, I cudda used that 30 yrs ago ,, Don't talk back ,Always ready to work , Don't have to pay him, Won't whistle at your daughter, i'm makin one , Thanks for postin,
Saw a guy balance the fascia with one hand from the middle. Use the nail clip magazine as a straight edge and nail the fascia right in the middle. Nail it on the next rafter and you are good to go. Your grandpa probably didn't use a pneumatic nail gun. Thats why he used that jig. Credits to the old guys. Imagine framing the old fashioned way. No power tools, hand nailying each piece of lumber. Take care!
This is more of a Southern Hemisphere style roof I’m sure people were meaning. This wouldn’t work up here in Massachusetts area. That would be a ice dam and snowdrift waiting to happen. I’m sure this is more than appropriate for the Southern Hemisphere 100%. There’s a lot of keyboard warriors that don’t have anything but negativity in their life unfortunately. Don’t let the haters get to you.
Seen somthin similar to that jig with wing nuts for clamps for attaching to rafters wrks great.nice job roof wrks fine crickets are common and not as hard as people think also that roof is pretty basic any framer wuld love to wrk on that its practicly flat all truss and barely has any valleys or over stacks wish i cud be wrkn with u tobad this covid got me at hone waiting for unemployment to kick in
The facia holding bracket looks very useful; generally for a single installer (smaller crew?), but can be used by all. I'm a new subscriber, so thanks for all the videos.
Good videos! I just started working as a carpenter. I’m in my 4th wk with the company that I work for. On Tuesday I got put on the roof , I learned a lot on these 2dys. My only problem is that I might now have the proper boots. Do you have any recommendations? Thank you in advance.
I see now why you build the crickets later, it would make the trusses a nightmare! Will the house get roofed before work stops? I would be scared to death if my investment was getting rained on for who knows how long.
We paint our nails head in color that way inspector can see it right away, and help to see any missing nails. I know it time consuming but it work, we just take pictures to show inspector. That was in Long Beach
Another great video thanks for sharing. Can you explain why you add an infill piece on top of wall plates between trusses? How is the roof vented at the sofits if it's closed?? Thanks
Matt, on the cricket framing, is it necessary to go to the edge of the wall your looking to save from water leaks. Looks like you have a foot or more from the wall edge.
Great idea for hanging facia by yourself, might have to try it. Necessity is the mother of all invention. Alot of great tools have been invented by builders

No plywood clips?
Matt is Pikitis from Parks and Rec.
This is the best comment in RUclips History.
You have to admit there is a resemblance! Haha
So Hchips aren't required? Your using 3/4" roof sheating?
I believe it is 19/32 so closer to 5/8". If you have HD quality at 3:43 you can see the side of stack.
5/8” sheathing, not required with it. H clips are a pain!
Why aren’t you guy using ridge vent
Matt how many man hours did you budget for this house ? I’m guessing around 480 .
Quite a bit more than that. We had 3 of us here for the most part, 40 a week for around 5 weeks was the goal. I need to sit down and crunch numbers on overall and see how we did.

Ridiculous roof bub....lol
Fake job site. It isn't littered with burrito wrappers and modelo cans.
framers who know what they're doing are fantastic. can't tell you how many dead valleys here in Colorado I see up on roofs that are just miserable for ice damning and heavy rain. awesome job!
Please Matt a whole video about how to build the “cricket” ?, I’ve been looking for this for years. Thank you so so Much.!!!!
Why is the trade protecting this skill so much? The compound miter cuts are tricky. I would like to see a pro like you show us how to measure and cut the angles.
Watch entire vid
Join a framing company they can teach u lol crickets aren’t hard bud they are there to help water run off the roof
From what I see world class carpenters runs in your family, yuor grandfather, your dad, and you keep, passing the torch.
And today I learned about roof crickets. Thank you so much, I will be able to use that right away.
I was wondering if you needed some ideas for some content would you dad be willing to do an interview type video about how he got started and maybe how he managed to stay a float during the housing crashes and maybe his outlook on the industry today from when he started.

Made for a cool title, nothing take the wrong way at all buddy!
@@MattBangsWood A question: Are you gonna put a vent underneath the cricket to be opened to the gable section to prevent condensation and whatnot?
Great job as always Matt! Just wondering why you don't use the G90 clips between your sheeting on the roof. With all the other Calif. building requirements, I'm surprised they aren't required.

Only a carpenter can come up with such a trinket.

What happened to the younger guy with decently long hair and would be always smoking . Guy was pretty cool
samuel ferris fox? Ik I was wondering that too

If walls were higher, yes. We’d need to be tied off.. Not at this height.
Hay Matt and your friend you guys are doing a great job 👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌😎😎😎🤙🤙🤙💪💪sweat
I can be the kid that clean up the pieces of wood
There hasn’t been a time in this entire build that jay doesn’t have a cigarette in his mouth😂
Dude definitely smokes his paycheck away lol
hitachi ^^ oldboy!
Do you teach framing? Lol
oh man! Love your videos. Wish i could build my own home doing what you do. looks amazing!
Love the fascia hanging bracket! I’m going to have to make one of those for some upcoming work I have to do! Thank you
Not digging the music this time but another great video. Keep up the good work 🔨
Wondered about that dead valley, when you were building it. I thought Oh Oh. Architect must have a solution.
I love the reference back to your pap. Its amazing to see the volume of things our grandparents did to maximize productivity. Way to represent him...
Hey Matt, how long can the framing and sheathing hold up uncovered in the weather? I always wondered this.
You usually dont frame without sheathing almost immediately.
After sheathed its fine for a few days. Quicker your dried in the better.
As I enjoy watching you work - You have nice music playing in the background -Earth Wind & Fire (September) & I think next was Tears of Fear (Everybody Wants To Rule The world).
Nailing or tacking the osb too the roof do YOU Prefer staples or nails? and Y?
On the roof do You still want the 1/8" space between sheets. As YOU do for the the sheeting the sides of A house.
if not Y? Or What makes the difference OSB is OSB isn't it...
thank YOU & haVe A bLessed Year...
I noticed that you've been going from corded saws to battery, I'm still stuck on the cord. Is it worth jumping over?
Get yourself a dewalt 60v saw and a flex volt battery. You wont be disappointed at anything besides the price
Totally worth it. Most platforms have worm-drive style saws and as long as you can keep batteries charged you’ll be able to cut all day and not have to worry about a single cord
Only get 1 cordless saw, there’s no need for more. 1 cordless will help you when you’re on a lift platform getting moved around so you don’t have to reroute power and especially when doing roof sheathing. I don’t use cordless saws for when I’m setup doing a lot of cutting, like for studs and anything else like that. Because they do chew up your battery’s and eat there life away.

All those hand drives get a gun and use it big time saver
Prefer hand driving to tack them down. Just preference. We're not going for the quickest, just enjoy building houses and documenting the process..

Hey Matt, nice roof, when we start sheathing the roof I switch to the hitachi coil nailer , it holds way more nails than the stick nailer, just sayin. You guys stay safe out there :).
Wait I see all these comments about not knowing what crickets are? Must be just people who do diy fixes and are learning
Good craftsmanship man
This vid is addictive to watch. How do you know where to shoot the nails ?
I do not understand when you speak I am French but I like you videos and courage.
Should have designed the roof with the cricket in minds so not to have roofing under the cricket. They cricket was an after thought.
You made a great video, and you seem to be pushing your job right along. I just stumbled on your video, and am wondering about your roof nailing. I didn't see you guys spacing the OSB, nor using a flush nailer on your Hitachi. Are you guys just running the compressor at 100psi?

Is that house or a damn company building 🥴🤔
Great vids Matt. Thank you from Spain.
hey matt what brand of hoses are they
I need some
i wonder where all that excavated dirt went & how many trucks & cost
Que gran trabajo saludos desde chile
Great job, I liked it a lot 👏🏽 Just left it like 👍🏾
Are you gapping your sheathing?
Any clips?
Jiminy, that was a nice cricket.
Ate those Denali 2.0 the best belt you have ever worn?
Hi! What size OSB plate was used here?
Hey bud where’s your harness at?
at 26:03 is that a camera illusion or is that roof turning?
imagine if they had to use hammers for all those nails
The title is hilarious, you have a great sense of humor
Matt , Whats The Name Of Tune In Opening ?
Dont you build big big buildings 📝😐
Very unsafe, cutting the roof on the trusses.
Afternoon Matt was just wondering what kinda coreless saw you where using on top of the roof?
I think he's using this. www.homedepot.com/p/SKILSAW-TRUEHVL-48-Volt-Cordless-7-1-4-in-Worm-Drive-Saw-Kit-with-TRUEHVL-Battery-and-Diablo-Blade-SPTH77M-12/311532271

That's a nice helper your gramps made ,, I cudda used that 30 yrs ago ,, Don't talk back ,Always ready to work , Don't have to pay him, Won't whistle at your daughter, i'm makin one , Thanks for postin,
What are you using to sheet that? The sheathing we ya is plywood or mostly OSB but that’s shiny down which I’ve never seen here in Canada
Saw a guy balance the fascia with one hand from the middle. Use the nail clip magazine as a straight edge and nail the fascia right in the middle. Nail it on the next rafter and you are good to go. Your grandpa probably didn't use a pneumatic nail gun. Thats why he used that jig. Credits to the old guys. Imagine framing the old fashioned way. No power tools, hand nailying each piece of lumber. Take care!
Great video I’ve never framed a cricket. What is the shiny face on the roof sheeting? We just use regular OSB
At 2;32 why did they run whole sheets through the middle of the roof, then rip a narrow piece above and below it?
why is tbe roof going to leak?
This is more of a Southern Hemisphere style roof I’m sure people were meaning. This wouldn’t work up here in Massachusetts area. That would be a ice dam and snowdrift waiting to happen. I’m sure this is more than appropriate for the Southern Hemisphere 100%. There’s a lot of keyboard warriors that don’t have anything but negativity in their life unfortunately. Don’t let the haters get to you.
It doesn’t rain in California!
Is the other guy fueled by tobacco? Never see him in the frame without a cigarette in his mouth....
Seen somthin similar to that jig with wing nuts for clamps for attaching to rafters wrks great.nice job roof wrks fine crickets are common and not as hard as people think also that roof is pretty basic any framer wuld love to wrk on that its practicly flat all truss and barely has any valleys or over stacks wish i cud be wrkn with u tobad this covid got me at hone waiting for unemployment to kick in
for sub fascia, you could use the rail of the nail gun instead of square for planing the rafter tails to sub.
this guy j always looks cool
The facia holding bracket looks very useful; generally for a single installer (smaller crew?), but can be used by all. I'm a new subscriber, so thanks for all the videos.
Good videos! I just started working as a carpenter. I’m in my 4th wk with the company that I work for. On Tuesday I got put on the roof , I learned a lot on these 2dys. My only problem is that I might now have the proper boots. Do you have any recommendations? Thank you in advance.
Never heard of cricket myself, we call them saddles in my parts.
We call them " Who designed this horseshit"
I see now why you build the crickets later, it would make the trusses a nightmare! Will the house get roofed before work stops? I would be scared to death if my investment was getting rained on for who knows how long.
Hey Matt why don’t you guys staple off your roofs ? Here in Arizona we staple apposed to nailing it. Great video as always btw !! Bang On
I would recommend getting a lift platform. It makes sheathing and sub facia 10x eascier and quicker
handige uitvinding van je opa
We paint our nails head in color that way inspector can see it right away, and help to see any missing nails. I know it time consuming but it work, we just take pictures to show inspector. That was in Long Beach

I'm a new subscriber.. The roof is the best andwell I typically hang fascias balone three would be great
Why not make those crickets flush with the gable peak? Wouldn't that be a bit of a shallow roof pitch, especially if it gets comp?
Matt, is that SolarBord? A radiant Solar OSB sheathing your installing?
Thanks for sharing your videos. I was wandering if you have an observation on how well reflective roof barriers work.
Matt, on the cricket framing, is it necessary to go to the edge of the wall your looking to save from water leaks. Looks like you have a foot or more from the wall edge.
Solid framing. What are your thoughts on H clips? For sheeting
Love the videos. Just wondering what boots you’re wearing and can you do a review on them? Keep up the good work and great videos 👊🏼
