Old Nails vs. New on 100 Year Old House..

This 104 year old farmhouse needs work.. We’re going to be reframing a good majority of it. Window openings are rough, door openings are wrong, headers aren’t level. This place needs help.

Matt, my house was built in 1895 as a 12 by 25 home. There have been 30 owners by the titles, and at least 8 remodels which I did 2. It's now a 25 by 25, 1 & 1/2 story 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath. It was expanded several decades ago. But very little is level plum or flush. But it's paid for. South Dakota.

I've been retired for four years now and I miss framing and working with cedar I don't miss it so much to go do it everyday anyways always appreciate you guys that make these videos I kinda get to participate without the splinters or sawdust or a hurting back you do it very well

[@DoubleDoubleWithOnions]

12:30 Matt getting un-hinged.

[@danielpotter906]

I also drive a 7.3l best truck I've ever had

[@T.E.P..]

yeah man!!! The vids are getting more and more unique ... I watch them all

[@T.E.P.]

I agree with what I said here

[@terencemerritt]

I agree too

[@JonathanPerez-mk3hp]

@6:22 there is a very easy fix. You can cut the top plate, run your header flush with the top plate, then provide straps on each end. The top plate is dragging some load to hopefully a lateral system. RFI needed either way. The 4x12 might just be a typical header call out. What’s the span of the roof framing?

[@drewnolan96]

Here for the knowledge but I’ll take the swag! Discount code reached limit before I could use it…but I just bought a shirt and a no it’s fucked sticker anyway 😂
Thanks for sharing what you’ve learned over the years. I hang onto every word cause I also build in the 805. Very grateful to have someone local sharing info on YT because construction changes so much based on location.

[@CEngineering-pv8uw]

Enjoy your videos. Freebie or not, the t-shirts are a bargain at $20, I have three, they are made well and fit well!

[@nickfish3545]

You would really benefit from the Milwaukee battery framer

[@worldadventureman]

I'm pretty sure a built up header of 2 2x's and plywood is stronger than a solid 4x6, so how comes they don't call out for those?

[@jochute]

Got a little props from the PBD podcast. Thanks for the videos

[@MattBangsWood]

Just saw that, pretty cool. Although everyone’s calling me a TikToker.. Never made a dollar there. 🤣

[@terencemerritt]

What’s a pbd podcast

[@davidguy6408]

Matt if your for real that might have to get rid of the 7.3L cause of California emissions I’d gladly come buy it!! Can’t find trucks like that up here in On and I’d love to have 1 again

[@MattBangsWood]

It’s up for sale right now, buying a new pick up as we speak. California is getting tight on things like that.
Shoot me an email, it’s a beautiful truck inside and out. Will have it fully serviced before sale..

What happened to the other project? The one with all the beam replacements

[@MattBangsWood]

Still going on, in delay right now for structural redesign on some stuff!
Have other houses to frame though, so it’s getting backburnered for a minute.

[@ndascal]

Idk how anyone uses these Dewalt guns. Takes foreverrrrr. M18 is by far the best gun. Even if it weighs 90lbs lolll

[@rolandkuhn9066]

Giving the title, I expected a lot more than that on the nail difference.

[@MattBangsWood]

I only had one nail. 🤷‍♂️

[@explicittruth1471]

5:30 😂there are better ways… a pencil actually works very well. Sheath the house mark openings as you go and then a paddle bit and router make short neat work of it

[@MattBangsWood]

Pencil is for hacks. I prefer bashing it with a hammer, that way my partially blind eyesight can see it.

[@RyanJohnsonD]

Do you think they were right in using longer nails?

[@jasonmadruga9028]

If you need a hand, reach out! I'm not too far away

[@garyrose1152]

Why are you using osb for exterior walls

[@MattBangsWood]

I’d use ZIP normally.

[@joehuinker7009]

20 common Matt

[@joehuinker7009]

What is under the building for a foundation Matt?

[@MattBangsWood]

8” footing, it’s small, but it’s there.

[@cammym9777]

I don't do framing, but I am a curious cat. Do all of the header have to be 6x12?

[@MattBangsWood]

Interior can be 4x4. Exterior needed 4x12 minimum. Engineering can be overboard here.

[@franciscoramos9692]

Is that treated ?

[@waltk9067]
