I am/ was a carpenter of 45 years. I am so impressed with your Pop's skills. I've really enjoyed "his" build videos. And Lil Bit, I am also very impressed with your abilities. You've had a great teacher and motivator.
If I had that many to cut , I’d make a jig template with a plunge router. I’m like Hanna that skill saw would wear my hands out and look horrible after anyway. Jeff got skills for sure. Looking good for sure a quality build.
Let me tell you something, I’ve have been framing since sixteen years old and watching Jeff frame brings back the real meaning of expert carpentry. Not the crap I see in pre fab homes today.👍
Oh gosh, those pre fab builders are not using Carpenters, they are using the cheapest crackhead labor they can find. I went to go look at one for sale that was band new and I laughed my way out the door. I'm a framer myself so there was no way I would have bought that crap.
I am retired now but for 40+yrs. framed and built ! Id rack out all the roof rafters upside down like you are doing and cut all the pitch and c cuts! hip/valley roofs are more work! But have the complete roof kit on the ground including gable studs all cut,then put it together! I could cut and stack a 2000sq ft roof with2 helpers in 2 days with all the facia ready for sheeting! There is an old book(original roof framers guide)( Its blue 3"x4.5") that is all numbers for any pitch and any spand, any type ,if you learn to use it a person can make some really good money! I did and nobody did a cleaner framing job! nice to see some younger hard working hungry for life people going for it!! Good team there!
It is a bit late, but you should consider a Trap Door to the Deepest Part of your crawl space and install a Safe Room with room for 6, preferably in a Corner with concrete blocks on 2 sides. Stocked with Water, Clothing footwear etc. Easy Access. Write ESCAPE HATCH on top of the Door.
Jeff your approach is how I notched when building log homes. We had some guys that were real good with a router and would notch with that. Appreciate you sharing. Great progress !!
Ok so you will know what I'm saying when I said he should use a chainsaw to clean that groove out after making a few passes with the skill saw he could go much faster with a chainsaw when building a log home a chainsaw is the main tool they can do so much
I've seen this done before but they built the exterior walls with 2X6 (pretty sure all the interior walls and tie ins where still 2X4). I guess to allow more room in the exterior walls for insulation (colder climate) and it worked really good. Like you said once everything is tied together, it's like a brick house as far as how strong it is.
I agree! I'd liked to have seen 2x6's because of the wall studs being reduced to 2x2s on those spots, but that frame is going to be really strong once they screw on the OSB sheets tying it all together!
@@joefudd 2x2's aren't going to meet code for a load bearing wall... lol. I like their house design, but this guy's framing skills suck bigly. In another video he is toe nailing ceiling joists, no metal hangers.. YIKES!! That's how I build tree houses when I was 10 years old.
@@KrustyKlown Hence my point about the wall studs being reduced to 2x2s every two feet and also all of the weight that those heavy duty thick trusses (he said weighed 800 to 1000 lbs each?) will put upon the walls along with a second floor. I noticed the toe nailing too. Strong winds could easily lift off the rafters which is why I upgraded my home with the metal clips with screws. Toe nailing is very weak support indeed. Also nailing floor joists and ceiling joists at the end is not strong enough either. Those joints should all be with metal hanger clips too unless they are sitting on top of a plate to carry the weight load. Nails into/through the end of boards cannot hold all of the weight. I have watched people build decks high up to the second floor of homes like that. I had warned them as they built these with nails through the side plate into the floor joists with those nails holding all of the weight load and that it would fail and is against code. It had suddenly failed a month later with 15 people standing on it. Three of them ended up in the hospital after falling 15 feet down into a wooded hillside. The grill that was going on the deck also set the house on fire.
@@joefudd Yup.. seems a shame to do such a shody framing job on what looks like a really nice open house layout, could be epic ... but the framing sucks. Must be there don't have building inspectors in the boonies where they are building.
You are one smart fellow,!! My hat goes off to you,!! I am learning so much from you with every video, I am sure I am not the only one, Thanks for your time and videos, y'all keep on keeping on,! Charlie in Pensacola, Fl,
Jeff ur such an amazing dad!!! Being a daddy's girl I believe my dad knows everything I swear my dad knows everything but you are right in line with my dad that knows EVERYTHING!!! LOVE U AND HANNAH!!! ❤
Interesting to see someone else use this technique...Very impressive!! Time saver..n ..as Jeff said.. Gonna make these walls super strong!! Good on ya!! Preciate ya'll!! 🔨 🦊🧙♂️🐺🔨
Hannah not to put you down you can tell your dad's been doing that for years and he knows how to do that fast and that's awesome you going to have an awesome house keep up the great work you two may God bless you appreciate you all
Awesome you are blessed with a skilled experienced father! He knows the "How to Do It" specialty reinforcing channel cuts. Hannah's House will be a Fortress!
I like it. That’s very smart. I was a very young kid in the 70’s and a friend of my daddy was a very good carpenter/ home builder and I remember he would setup his radial arm saw with a stacked dado blade and notch every stud for the exterior wall for a 1x4 that went around the entire house. He also notched in corner braces at each corner. He would do this on a brick sided or lap sided house. It didn’t matter it’s just the way he did things.
You remind me of my dad! Me and the family built a steel shop. And my cabin, hope one day I get to build my own house. Very cool. Glad you are feeling better. Keep up the great job! Be safe!
Not putting down your hard work, you are all about that and I respect you for it. But it would have been better to just install blocking between the studs with the 3.5 inch facing out. Cutting these notches will actually weaken the stud. And I would recommend using 2x6 studs on the 16 foot wall especially of it is load bearing, you will eventually see bowing in these walls.
When we built ours we used 2x6’s and covered with 4x8 1/2” plywood sheathing same as the roof except the roof was 5/8” and then put a metal skin on it. Seems better then the notching he is doing IMO.
There's no doubt it'll be a good looking job, I'm just wondering why not attach the 2x4s on that exterior framing and just attach your steel to that. Like a pole barn. Seems like an awful lot of work. It would also give you more interior space for running your mechanicals like you wanted and allow you to increase your insulation depth by an inch and a half, like a 2x6 wall. There's always more than one way to skin a cat.
A 2X4 column in a wall,, and each 2X in the wall is supporting a vertical load, must resist load failure. Taking just less than half of the 2X I suspect your wall will not pass code for its load bearing ability. If you wanted to notch them in,, start with a 2X6. Fire stopping will still require a Building skin plywood, OSB,, The easy way to block between horizontal purlins is to install sequentially. Stop cut all your blocks, fast and efficient,, install your first purlin down low,, then install one short fire block per stud,, then put in your second purlin,, and blocks on top of that,, etc. No custom fits required, and it makes purlin install a snap. You should consider your purlins installed on the diagonal. Same material,, and makes the entire building rigid.
Thank you for explaining this . I pointed this out to an Uncle of mine the other day in question. We were pretty close to the answer . Thanks again . Would love to be a side kick with Jeff for a week to learn !! Super Wal Mart looks awesome !!
Hanna, Tell your Dad, your mom and your Granny and your whole family that you love them... Especially, your Father. He'll do anything for you at the drop of a dime. Your house is going to be a showcase. I can't wait to see it completed. You two guys are a great team. Stay safe and be good, All the Best!...
Nice technique notching. You know, the more I sit here and listen to you to talk my Western accent starts sounding more like a Southern draw and people look at me different as if I am from another world. That technique makes short work compared to one at a time, and it's not tedious at all. Great video coverage too.
Lots of lateral strength for sure! Even better if it were 2x6 studs to keep from skinnying out the 2x4s to a 2x2 with those notches and having space for thicker wall insulation. Still a really sturdy frame!
Your saw looks like it has a million miles on it. I try to wear out all of my tools. That is the same way that I make notches. It always impresses a young guy.
Different from what I've seen. Fun to watch how people in different areas of the country build. Looks clean and minimal. Be fun if you run everything 2 foot on center and stack floor joists, wall studs and rafters. you'd only need one top plate on the walls.
After looking I guess the old man in East TN can stop worrying about the storms coming thru Lower Alabama around, Mobile, and on up to Memphis and on to Maryville. Kids are scattered everywhere but want to move back home. With walls like that gonna be a fortress. I'm getting started on Toe Heads plans for here but got to cut a forest before I can get started. Our base ball coach at UT must be listening. As he finishes his TV interviews he says "Preciate Y'all. Pretty cool. See ya! Coyotes woke me up ticked me off so at 3:15 I'm up typing/but I'm on EST time and you are on CST. Have fun and careful all of y'all.
Not telling you what to do but it would have been easier to just put your perlings over the 2×4's and if you had to add the 3 inches to the roof trusses for the correct overhang. 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️ Ya don't notch the roof for the perlings when using metal. Just saying Jeff , it's your horse whack it any way you want as long as it's going the right direction.
Carpenters utility tool. The circle, cut-off, ripsaw.! I almost Skilled that one. Tool manufacturers want you to buy one of those fancy routers with all the expensive attachments that would take two to three times longer to do the same job the circle saw dose, and just as purdy.!!! Appreciate y'all .!! Erecte the whole wall cuz it's lighter. Screw on the pearland's twice as strong.!!
Jeff, you ever consider using a router with a nice wide bit to hog out those dadoes? Seems like a hell of a arm work out to chop out all those channels...
That would not pass code in Canada. Cutting into the studs reduces the depth and you need min 3.5" here. Or more depending on the height of the wall. Much more efficient to put the girts (purlins are on the roof) on the outside and add diagonal bracing, either in the studs or in line with the girts.
Tell you what, plan now and don't put any pipe on exterior walls. Never have to worry about dripping when it gets in the teens. And frost free outdoor spigots. 3:20 I still got my first hammer which was old in the 70s when I got it. Well house set a 120v thermostat outside to a 150W incandescent bulb inside.
Gosh, the whole house will be a safe room. Hannah is blessed with a wonderful, caring dad. Great content.
Jeff Barron is an absolute beast.
As long as she don't live down south in Tornado Alley.
Jeff is always working really hard and really smart too. Getting it done!

Purlin term for roof , Girt term for wall . Or I call them grits in my pole barn. 😂😂
That's a great idea with the studs! makes me want to completely redo my reloading/food stash room
You never stops Mr. Barron 😯 that is a lot of job... well we will see the magnificent house for Hannah 👌👍
Amazing work Jeff you sir are a freaking machine. I definitely like the work smarter not harder mentality.
Never seen that idea of notching used. That’s gotta be super strong!! Gonna be one premium quality home right there!
You are one smart fellow,!! My hat goes off to you,!! I am learning so much from you with every video, I am sure I am not the only one, Thanks for your time and videos, y'all keep on keeping on,! Charlie in Pensacola, Fl,
That’s a very good idea what you are doing with the wall studs. Makes it look so professional.
That notched idea makes it more stable to twisting winds. Nice!
Master craftsman on the job this man shows that he can talk the talk and walk the walk and he will be a sure bet to. Great job everyone 💯💯💯💯💯👍🏾
Glad to see you working smarter not harder. Great work and thinking ahead. When you build you own house you appreciate it more
Hell yeah coming together beautifully 😍
Jeff ur such an amazing dad!!! Being a daddy's girl I believe my dad knows everything I swear my dad knows everything but you are right in line with my dad that knows EVERYTHING!!! LOVE U AND HANNAH!!! ❤
Everything Jeff touches is super slick

Awesome job guys.
Awesome work! 👍
Doing a great job. Very good at what you due, thanks for the show, on building it right the first time,
Good Daddy, like your work, got skills brother, your baby girl is blessed. Looking forward to seeing the finished product 🙏✝️☮️

Loving the Content Mr Barron
Makita 7 1/4 for the win! I still use mine that I bought in 1985ish.
That is so cool how ya'll figure out how to so everything
Would a router work to cut the notches? Either way, this house is going to be solid. Jeff is taking care of his little girl.
That's a modern twist on a timber frame!
Those are some serious pipes there Jeff 😮
Lots of lateral strength for sure! Even better if it were 2x6 studs to keep from skinnying out the 2x4s to a 2x2 with those notches and having space for thicker wall insulation. Still a really sturdy frame!
Yall awesome 👌
Jeff got skills!
With Baloon framing, would still suggest Fire Blocking, your call. Hurricane Strapping too on wall to floor and top plate to roof joists.
Awesome 😎👍
good hard work
Jeff's everyone's dream dad.
Good job 👍🏻
Looked like a beautiful day❤
Pride of ownership pride of craftsmanship when it’s all said and done the true bones for home Sweet home nice job dad nice job
I think my friend could truly build an a great Arc if he put his mind to it appreciate you all will be watching over your shoulder have a blessed day
wow great idea thanks for that one
I have the same Makita skill saw,still cutting like it was new.
The house is looking good
The only man in her life that ever showed her anything !
Your saw looks like it has a million miles on it.
I try to wear out all of my tools.
That is the same way that I make notches.
It always impresses a young guy.
Jef, you really need a right handed saw! Most don't know that small circular saws are left handed! thanks for the great videos!
I'm jealous. Outside buildin stuff in thirts- we're under 22inches of snow in Northern Wisconsin. Nice work Dad!
