The work is fantastic but the father and Son relationship is even better...I'm just seeing this for the first time. God bless you both. 👍😀.
I'm retired now, but spent 15 years as a general contractor and then 20 years as an inspector. Your techniques and attention to detail are great. Good work.
Wow, thanks James! Much appreciated
This kid is lucky to have you teaching him the ropes. Having been to college I guarantee he is learning more than I did. Good work y'all.
There's nothing like loving what you do for a living!!! Almost like it's not even work!!!
You have a great teacher bro ! Take care of the old man 👍
Great example of workmanship and mentorship!
Father and son! Love this! Reminds me of my father and I back in the day.
I am not even close to being a carpenter, but when redoing my house, I did meticulous stuff, like flushing the rafter , for the hangers for good drywall fit. I didn't know how to do things " the standard way", so I just did stuff, that would make the next steps easier.
At first, I was like "eh, just another lvl install." Then I saw that planer trick to get rid of bumps in the ceiling... Love the content!!
That is a cool trick, thanks Ben!

That's clutch. If only I'd seen this 2 months ago. I just installed a PSL to remove a wall dividing my kitchen and living room
Very nice trick! Another if you don’t have a planer is set the joist 1/16 up from bottom of beam to accommodate for the height difference in the joist hanger.
Trim Router makes short work of that as well, and a little less clumsy than the planer, IMO.
This dad is awesome! I wish I had a role model like this guy. Well done team.
That Porter Cable circular saw is a legend!
Nice to hear your reference to an engineer, good looking out, And looking good!
Great attention to detail, especially installing joist hangers flush to prevent bow in sheetrock install to ceiling.
Lots of hard work that you guys handle with good planning.
I love seeing a contractor taking real pride in his work. Doing everything “by the book” including using an engineer to design the ceiling beams.
Love watching you guys work.
Thx Pat 👍👍👍
There are also building code charts for dead and live loads too that one can look at if they can’t afford the engineering fee
I wish I can work with this master . So I can learn how to get to “ perfection “
You’re a bad ass man. I fricken love your channel!
I like the dynamic between the father and son. I also like how informative these videos can be. My only gripe here is that second beam directly above the window. I’ve been told that is a BIG no-no.
Thx Greg 👊. Yeah we made sure to run that by the structural engineer after we discovered the issue 👍
Wish my dad was this calm when teaching
This young man is getting hella good knowledge and experience. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Hay it was great to bump into you today. I hope you enjoyed your lunch. This is the first video I saw of yours and have been watching ever since. Welcome to Texas again.
Right on guys progress looks great!
Thanks for making these videos. I love the tech tip on the hangers and all
You guys ROCK!!! Seriously best framing channel I have seen in a long time!! I am an architect in Ca and I am loving the amount of detail you put into your project. You dont waste our time with unrelated giberish, but yet you do go over some awesome pointers!! I love the tip about cutting the CJ's at an angle so they don't pinch your blade and they drop off as you cut!
Now, that's experience right there!! Keep up the great work you and don't change a thing!! Excellent!!
Much appreciated Joe 👍💪
You guys are all right, love the attention to detail it makes all the difference
Nice job 👏 You two work well together...and I love how you explain things clearly
This is cool. Father and son duo getting it done...lol...Pass on the knowledge. I am a software engineer and so want to learn a few trades and do some construction. We need to keep this knowledge alive and well!!!
Thx 👊💪
Great job so far and I love how you clean as you go!! So much safer for everyone and makes for a great space to work in!
Thanks Sherry!!
Crazy luv to ya'll! Jordan is one 'fortunate son' ! What a great team.
The screw trick works good for making beams/joist flush.
If you want it flush on the bottom, Put a screw in the higher joist/beam and use a hammer or prybar to pull it flush.
If you want it flush on top. Put a screw in the lower one and pull up. You get it.
But your load might have been to heavy.
Works great for framing
Love these videos guys!! Very informative, good pace, and good vibes! Thank you!
Thx Trevor 👊👍
Details perfect thats what you have to think about for finding. Thanks .guys I do renos. All about the finished work at the end 🙌
The engineer called out the nail pattern as staggered, but you nailed them in aligned.
Each row of nails is in a line but rows are staggered in relationship to each other. We go into more nailing details in our more recent beam install video 👍
You guys are awesome, been a This old house fan all my life and you guys are a modern day this old house type show! Keep up the great work and best of luck on all your projects.
Me too, seen every season. Kevin O'Connor has my dream job:) Thanks for the support!!
Great content! Enjoyable!
loved the trick with the joist hangers. they were such a pain as they always always made a ugly bump. great idea. Also like the way you keep cleaning up around yourself. (I do the same). A clean site is a tidy profitable safe site. Great job.
I love the explanation of the process thank you for that
Kids got charisma.
Nice work fellas!!!
Thank you for explaining step by step
Loving the simple tool tips. Great stuff.
Thanks 👍
Great video. I enjoy watching it like watching TV series.
Good Job... 👍
Damn good workers!!
Watched all your recent stuff so I'm going back to the older videos. Funny to see you working without all the modern/new tools in the recent videos. For example, no laser level! You guys have really come a long way in the last year and a half, both in tools/skills as well as video personality.
And how much better the audio is in the newer videos with the use of mics.
Great job! I LOVE THE FACT THAT YOU USE TOOLS WITH CHORDS.
I'm the same way,cordless drill, the the rest corded 👍
Really enjoy your videos guys keep them coming great work!!
Found your RUclips channel recently - been going back and watching it from the beginning. Let me say that i really enjoy your videos .. keep them coming - definitely subscribed. This is what i used to watch HGTV build shows for in the past, until they started focusing more on the "builder celebrities" and not the actual work itself. Love how you give tips and tricks and actually show the work itself. Keep up the good work guys.
Thanks traveler. We appreciate that. Same here re: HGTV
You guys are doing a great job - you've tucked in some slick tips. Thanks
Thx David and thx for all your comments 👍👍
Thanks to you I was able to put up my drywall up yesterday your videos are awesome👌
A nice trick is to spray the chalked line with hair spray keeps it from getting wiped off
girls use hair spray
men only use clear coat on concrete slabs....lol
Best duo out there great job yall
You guys are top notch. I always enjoy contracting videos but usually am fast forwarding thru them. I watch yours all the way thru. Im building a pool house currently yet here I am watching you guys install beams
Wow, thanks!
I absolutely love this channel! But it has made me realize that starting a RUclips channel about the same work my brother and I do wouldn’t be in our best interests for time sake. We do the exact same things, with methods so air tight that we don’t even have to explain anything to each other anymore. If we were to start filming and explaining what’s happening, we’d drop productivity substantially. With a two man crew, we benefit like crazy over getting it done quickly. If we had a videographer it might work but definitely not at the moment. Keep doing great work guys!
Been binge watching since I found this channel. Great content and presentation.
Welcome aboard!
You aren't the only one!!!
Guys that is a fantastic job thank you
Excellent video guys, you two kick some major butt. :)
I love the informational value of your videos! But what I like more than that is watching the great relationship between you two and watching you enjoy your priceless time together. Something I never got to experience with my own father due to him passing away when I was a teen. Keep up the great work guys! And thanks for sharing.
Much appreciated thx 👍💪
Great professional work guys.
Thx Neil 👍👊
That's a damn fine show guys. Subscribed.
Thank you Bradyn! Much appreciated!!
New sub here... y'all do good common sense construction... loved it
Welcome and thanks Richard!
Great vid and excellent work. And don't you just love a palm nailer 👍🏼
New subscriber. Loving the content so far.
You can tell Jordan is a good kid.
Thanks so much
thank you for the tip of using the 2x4 to push down that in place on the metal hangers 😃👍🏻
I don't do this type of construction but I'm learning some nice tricks: bottle jack. speed square and clamp, palm driver, plaining the joist for the hangers, cutting an angle so your saw blade doesn't pinch, probably a few more things as well.
Action packed video. Lots of content in this and it's great to see the transformation all at once with all of the steps in between. Keep up the great work guys!
Great information
7:24 RUclips channel name info. Always wondered about that! Good planer tips to save future drywall work!
Dude you guys are awesome.. you’ve taught me a lot.
Cool thx 👍👊
Great job, I haven't seen cabinets blocking in years , the new framers just don't think about it.
Thanks 👍
Sick Classic Dad T
One pull up lol hey gang good morning
Liked & subbed.
Nice job earned a new sub love the attention to detail.
Thx for the sub 👍
Great video. Always cleanup a good idea. Not worth tripping with a blade spinning or rolling an ankle.
good ol buzz saw!! ha
Glad I found your page guys. Nice work. I do have a couple comments though. I'm surprised you don't have dust containment walls us, considering that homeowner hasn't covered their furniture in the adjacent rooms. Also, a window fan (blowing out) would help vacate the airborn dust you're making. And that shop vac you've got sitting there is the absolute best means for capturing demo dust vs all that sweeping, which churns dust into the air. Finally, that triple header you installed wants a triple stud pack. Come on guys, it's in your name. :)
We did some dust containment and used fans. Check out the conduit in slab video this series. Engineer specified two studs 🤔
Amazing guys I learn more tricks thanks new subscriber
Thanks for the sub!
"...and the whole wall moved."
Maybe, that's all you really needed. Angled temp studs wouldn't push the ceiling joists up quite as high.
I would be diving for those 2 x 4’s lol
I’m a plumber by trade but I grew up with a builder who like y’all did everything on the houses he built besides electrical, plumbing, and sometimes painting. I’ve also done some electrical work and other stuff. Out of all that, I can honestly say I’ve never seen a right angle drill used to drive a screw. But hey if it works right. It especially makes sense with those big torx head structural screws. Stripping isn’t an issue and those drills have all the torque you’ll ever need for a screw or bolt
Yep and no dead batteries 👍👊
@@StudPack funny thing about that, I think I’m the only guy at our company who still has corded tools. I have plenty of battery tools but if I’m getting a cord out anyway why not plug something in that you never have to change a battery. I told a helper to put a couple drywall screws into wood. He wasted more time looking for the impact than he’d have taken just screwing them in. I finally said just use a screwdriver. He replied “you can actually drive screws with a screwdriver”. I made some smart ass remark about the fact that it’s called a screwdriver. Anyway I explained to him that when I started we put lots of screws in by hand because it was faster than getting out a drill and running a cord just to put a few small wood screws in. They just don’t know how good they have it.
I didn’t see where you talked about keeping the crown in the boards up. Using liquid nails in between the boards too but you would have to clamp.
Who needs a 77 When you have a Porter cable 6 in. love my little Porter cable. You can work overhead all day with one.
Honestly, I'd gladly take a lefty sidewinder. The rear handles are great for most framing, but they're too dang heavy for work like that. Makes me glad for the small battery circ saws on the market now.
Those stud packs supports are similar to California corners for support and save cost on framing members ?
You guys make great duo!!! Good job guys!!! Luv how you work with your son creating bonds while teaching him the ways of the trades!!! Fucking super guys!
Great videos. I’ve really enjoyed “binging” on them. Do you ever use screws on hangers? Is that a no-no?
Love the video. Love the family getting it done together. Where are you getting your lvl beams, and do you know of any place in or near new that provides them?
Thx. Martin Lumber in BTR. Any lumber yard should be able to assist 👍
i hate how you guys with the skills make this stuff look easy. trying to rebuild my deck and it is a chore. but little by little, i'm getting it done.
Don't feel bad. You should have seen these guys bungle the installation of a waste pipe for a new half bath. This guy acts like he knows what he's doing but judging from that waste pipe job, he doesn't. He tries but learns by failure, a very painful and expensive way to learn.
Question: I would have liquid nailed those three 2x14 beams together and put them up a single unit, can I ask why you choose to install them individually? Gluing, clamping and shooting nails seems easier on the ground, though more difficult to put in place (understandably) so I would love to hear your reasoning to help me in the future.
New subscriber guys idk how this even came through my feed but you guys are great. Question- why did the engineer call for 3-2x12s on one side and 2-lvls on the other? Seemed to be the same length?
They are the same length. Strictly economics. The LVLs are doing the lion's share of the work
by taking the roof load and cost $125 each. 2x12s are only holding up the ceilings and are cheap. Thanks Kevin!
Enjoyed the video. Question about cutting the beam...I noticed an angle cut in order to fit under the roof. Does this weaken the beam some or is it OK?
Thanks Todd! We discussed this with our engineer beforehand and he sized it accordingly. Check out 03:50 in the video where I discuss this. Search for "tapered beam" online and you'll get some pics of what's acceptable.
Asen un trabajo increíble Gracias por sus videos solo una sugerencia usen más carillas especias como las que usas para pintar gracias amigo
Great job. Only thing I noticed was you only had two studs underneath the 3-ply beam. If I’m not mistaken, you’re supposed to have a stud for every ply.
Thanks Adrian! The engineer specified 2 studs under that beam. Perhaps in different parts of the country the specs would be different?
@@StudPack Yeah possibly. Majority of my work is in Texas. To resist shear, a stud goes under under ply.
Is the bevel cut at the end of the joist to fit the low height per engineer drawing? Usually, that cut should not extend as much as the video shows for some LVLs. Maybe your LVL manufacturer allows it?!
I watched this and find it good work and information but with the second beam why not add construction adhesive where rafter out and beam touches and supports roof sheeting.
Thanks for the tip on how not to pinch the saw blade
No problem 👍
This is what I was looking for, the video is full of good information. I need to run a beam that will hold a new attic floor (2x8's sistered to existing 2x4s)ceiling joists. I see that one side of the 2x12's beam, is not seating directly on the stud pack, was wondering if there is a reason for that. Thanks a lot!
The stud pack is made up of 2 2x4's while the beam is made up of 3 2x12s. It is important that the beam is centered over the stud pack to transfer the load properly, but code does not require each 2x12 need its own 2x4 right beneath it.
@@StudPack thank you so much for replying, this cleared up my question. Keep up the good work!
Don Turco just wondering is it ok that you might have 2 sheets on ply sandwiched instead of one 12’ long piece of plywood? Hopefully that makes sense. Plywood is only 8’ long.
Hey stud pack....great video! Was hoping you could give a brief explanation...when you snapped the chalk line on the existing ceiling rafters prior to cutting them where did you reference off of to assure that each rafter was cut the same length? Thanks for the content!
Thx Brian!! We measured off the front wall of the house which is parallel to the beam.
@@StudPack thank you sir
The old man has done a thing or two. I hope the son is paying attention.
Question, is the header for the window and that wall strong enough to carry the weight?
Seems like that should had been beefed up or the window removed completely and relocated.
We discussed it during the engineers first visit. It was fine according to his calculations but it’s a good point to remember 👍
Love the videos guys! But why is the ol' man doing most of the work? Get that saw and palm nailer in the kids hands. lol! Great job guys!
