Very good tip. A good show of craftsmanship. A clean work site. It seems your crew is always trying to better and speed up the process. Seconds add up.

For those who missed it, they notched the tails going down through the floor because there was a joist under the wall, you can see the joint in the subfloor where the two pieces of subfloor break on a joist. I wish the trim carpenters that install stair post could do that, but by the time they come the drywall is in and they don’t have access to the joist below without opening a ceiling up. Seems like all newer houses have loose stair posts 5-10 years down the line.
When there's a half wall on the plan we leave a strip of plywood out and sister every floor joist with an upward for the wall. If the Joyce running the same direction as the wall we leave a bigger spot out exposing the 16 on each side and build a subframe in between them. Unmovably strong. I could 100% snap that little down tie going through the subfloor on your wall just by applying force on the top of the wall.
Very nicely done. Been a carpenter for close to 50 years, I remember when I was doing nothing else but framing and seeing this brings back memories so real I can smell the wood. Those were hard days working in 100 degrees sun tanning me, sweat pouring off me drenching me all before 8 am, boy do I miss those glorious days. Thanks for bringing me back there.
I was a carpenter for 26 years. Now in a truck driver. I miss them days too! I loved the smell of the pine wood, cedar wood. The sound of my saws! The joking around we boys would have!. Those were some great days!
I still can't get used to seeing osb on floors. Every now and then I repair leaks on osb roofs, cdx is still salvageable most of the time, osb is dust under the shingles. Can't imagine these homes being livable in 40 years with everything sitting on chipboard, I guess time will tell
osb has come a long way. They inject so much resin into the osb it holds up really well. I prefer advantech for subfloor as it has 180 day exposure rating. cdx delaminates with any exposure to water.

@@johncampanaro9204yes you can. That’s what gives strength to steel studs when metal framing. That’s you off set the seams on either side of the metal studs. Just as how the sheathing is what holds the structure where it is so you can remove the braces. Typically you would brace one side, and after they Sheetrock the other side they can remove the brace. They still have to do that, it’s not plum in either direction unless you make it plum and is a brace to hold it there until it sheathed. You’re just wrong

No, but most over cut to take a corner out. The over cut is more than an inch causing a weak spot. This is not THAT complex of a technique anyway. Too much credit.
Jesus. This is great work. Too bad no one cares about that anymore. You guys deserve all of the work you get ✊🏾✊🏾. Such a clean job seeing it just slide in
There should be some notches inside the square, at least on every inch line; stick your pencil tip in the notch and run the square and you have your line square to your edge *edit I now see you have a Milwaukee square with plenty of notches for ya
That's been over cut on both ends, which weakness the wall. Oscillating saw would be great in this situation. Or use a spade bit to drill out the inside corner of the cut then use circular saw to cut up to the opening made by the spade bit... Or cut the opening big enough for the full 2x6
I love it except for the overcut with the circular saw. That cut is right where any stresses will be, it would be better to have that corner cut clean.
Try putting a scrap piece of 2×12 in between the studs it will be rock solid if it's just nailed to the joist if You're doing a knee wall for a tile shower it's the only way to go
He compromised the subfloor by overcutting the holes with the circular saw, and had to have done the same to the joist in doing so as well, although one can't see the lines of having done so. The holes should have been completed with a jigsaw. It likely would have been just as easy, if not more so, to simply go below and tack on some blocking onto the joist, and the wall was already mostly over the joist anyway.
Had a builder build a half wall for a bank of kitchen cabinets. He was so proud of it until I had to put tile on the countertop. It was half inch out of level.
Built a storage shed and the women's father wanted to pitch in. 4 hours to make a 12x12 square out of 2x4s. I figured theres no way it's not square for pouring. Shit came out a polygon. 😅
Back when I use to frame I never saw anyone do this. All you had to do was know where to put your nails and a couple screws and that wall wouldn’t move at all.
Building inspector walked right to the new island where a wall once was…, turned & said “that is one of the thinnest AND strongest islands I ever touched in a home”.
The best way was to make sure there was something in the floor joists to secure the bottom of the wall that was shoved through the floor. Otherwise it is just like any other without having to cut 2 holes in the floor for extra "hourly" charge.
The player that cuts out the badge during the Euros will hold my upmost respect for years to come, though doubt any will due to the backlash of the weak of this country.

I don’t notch the studs of a pony wall, we notch the bottom plate to run a stud on the flat like a channel down onto a joist. If the joist are running perpendicular to the pony wall then we ensure every joist has a stud running down it in addition to 16” OC layout
That's not a bad way to do, I usually double or triple up the ends or an end cut that bottom plate out the width of that post run it down and then block it off between the joists. It's a little more work but it's definitely solid
bro had a square but used a chalkline to mark a 12 inch line? put the pencil on 2 3/4 and ride it down the board. That Milwaukee square has notches for this every 1/8th inch. Good tip otherwise tho.
I did use the nr83a my dad is all about passload I was helping him out between house we’re both framing contractors.. Long story there but sometimes I’ll have my crew help him and vice versa we both to 10k sf and up anyway I took the spring out of the passload of his I was using and holy crap so I switched all my framing nailed so much faster.. I just heard that dude using it to nail up that bar wall. And you always see dude run the end studs of those kitchen island walls I do it myself but real 9 times out of 10 there are lowers there so the cabinet it attached to the wall so realistically it serves no purpose running a stud down but like I said I do do that myself
I notch mine through the floor to. Send someone down to block it in for added support. And Dang it Bobby nail into the floor joist. No need to do a mag dump on a bottom plate if you just hit something solid not spraying and praying through subfloor.
If you have a new subfloor why just install solid blocking backing below before you install the subfloor. Or are you just nailing the bottom plate to the subfloor
I have the next model down from thst circ saw and i love it. Its so much gooder that i was expecting m is the reae handle one much gooder than the new model down.
I'm just curious as to why you don't just sink the whole 2x? I know you said its securing to an IJoist but I'm having a hard time envisioning it in my head. The Ijoist does have a top and bottom cord correct? down below
And here we are in The Netherlands where everything is made of concrete, plaster bricks and more of that.😂 Wooden buildings do get build a lot quicker. But less sturdy then concrete.
If there is a beam underneath the half wall I figured out to use exterior straps and attached them to both sides running below and getting attached to the beam below, holds way better and solves the loose wall way better.
I love all the chaulk and measurements lol. You forgot the part how if you use screws through the joist you can level these walls with your drill. I’m gonna start video on my tricks after 30 yrs of framing that will blow minds lol. Like how to cut 4” strips perfect with a skill saw no lines or tape measures. EXACTLY the the same.
For 40 years, this is the way I did it. Then box it in between the floor joist...rock solid....

Hooah
🤡
That drove me nuts
@@shannonjustice7395can you show how to do that when the wall is parallel to the joist?
(Uses square or straight edge)

Don't cut it at all and turn it 90deg.

Always use a full stud do not notch block around the joist at pint of connection even if it means intturpting the wall to secure.
