Wow. I am an architect and your video was so detailed and right on point. You covered every minute detail. Very knowledgeable and I loved it.
Thanks so much!!
Man, thank you! I’ve been a electrician for 14 years and know a bit about rough carpentry but your videos are very simple and easy to follow. Gives me that bit of confidence I needed to get my 18x24 detached garage going.
You got this Andrew! Let us know how it goes!
GREAT JOB ... NICE HANDS ON SKILLS ... retired Architect here ... love watching the trades do their thing ... from a previous comment I would also have recommended staggering the joints (4 ft) on the subfloor and/or doubling the joist at that center joint ... a couple of fine points from my experience would be to double the bottom plate to provide a better nailing base for wood base trim and also doubling the window sill plate for the same reason (attaching window trim) ... I also notice many framers run a flat member below the door and window headers to make sure they are able to attach door and window frames into solid wood and avoid hitting plywood spacers or voids in the header framing ... it appeared in the video that you may have some deterioration in the foundation sill plates of the main house structure (moisture issue from improper sill flashing) ... check out to make sure the wood is sound ... be sure to stagger joints on finish floor underlayment ... fire retardant spray foam and/or spray cellulose best insulation ... or 6" glass (R-19) in walls and roof structure ... all of this affects the cost (structurally, could have used 2x4 framing) but, a better product in the long term ...

Thanks Norm! We appreciate the support 🤙

Like the way you explain what is what and how high you put the framing for the windows and spacing etc…. Awesome thank you!!! It helps me to understand!
Thanks James, glad it helped! We appreciate the support!
Great videos you teach well your showing exactly the way we were taught 45 yrs ago
Wow, thanks for the kind words!
You could've saved a few (expensive) 2x6s by making your trimmers (we call them jack studs) support the header and the window sill plate at the same time. What you did is great too. Just makes your wall beefier but cuts down on the amount of insulation you can add later. Good job!
Buen trabajo , me gusta mucho
Eres buen carpintero y buen instructor
Te felicito por tu proyecto

I THING your family was so excited when you did that addition look pretty cool your job
This guy is really legit, his a great carpenter, great family man. Doesn’t mind having his family around while working on top of filming great video!!👊🏽
Yes, excellent point
Very good thanks for the information and the added confidence.
Glad it was helpful!
This is an excellent channel, it has very good content and I’am already a subscriber so I don’t miss any videos. 👍👍👍👍👏👏🏡
Thanks so much Renato! You're awesome, glad to have you. 💪💪
It's nice that you can pull up your truck right up to the job site
Right?!
Thanks bro. You taught me a little bit more. Very straight forward.
Thanks for the support Sam!!! n💪🤙
Good job. Now the bottom plates would be good to use treated wood because, they will be more exposed to water. Great job.
👋👋am Richards a jamaica a little young master mind love the art of billing.....just want to say nice work man ..I really admire your work ...no joke a bout ....hope u can give me some tips
Thanks for the support!!!! 🤘🤘🤘
Its nice to h e someone supervising with a phone 📱 on their hand lol
Great video! I like using the California corners for the side walls.
Thanks! Thats actually what I changed it too after the fact.
You make look so easy.. It looks awesome already. I have been dying to extend my house like that. I got a quoted for $107,000 to extend 10’ by 16’. That’s not happening, lol. That’s without floor, paint and trim work!
Thanks! Wow, yeah thats a lot. Its tough to balance cost and risk of profits!
You can only say “The first thing we are gonna do”, Once!
Haha I mean I can, should I? Probably not 😂
Absolutely like your videos though! Great instruction and pro tips
Good explanations in this videos thanks 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Muy buen trabajo soy de Santiago de chile.y lo encuentro extraordinario estoy aprendiendo mucho, tengo una pregunta para usted, maestro ¿ Que medidas son las tablas que ocupa y palos, por favor se lo agradecería, por mostrar excelente trabajo.
Esteban Aprendí 😊.
Replace the plywood in your header with foam board and you’ll get some thermal break.
Thanks for the knowledge
Thanks for the support Mark!
Hey boss, when framing the wall to the exterior of the house, what is the nail pattern and how many nails are you using to fasten to the exterior house wall and onto the deck floor?
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Well done 🎉
Thanks so much! 🤙🤙🤙🤙
I actually watched the whole thing u do great work been framing all my life yes they are called jack studs where I'm at not trimmers lol u prolly should of staggerd the plywood on the deck tho and the headers r a Lil overkill just 2 together with a plate on the bottom is all u need but good stuff I like it
Thanks Jeff, for sure i would stagger them next time, live and learn right?!
Muy buen trabajo, quedo muy bien.
Saludos.
¡Gracias por el apoyo! ¡Lo apreciamos!
man you explain things very well we all appreciate i was wondering if you have a video on how you started the foundation for the addition to your homestead
Thanks Hernan! I appreciate the support, here's the playlist for the build. It has the foundation and everything else in it!

Good job sewer
Great job man looks perect.
Thanks for the support Jeff 🤘🤘
@@BreakFreeHomestead I actually have a question. How do you level all the wall 2 by 6s when there on the ground ? Or do you just use your triangle square to male sure it's pretty square after measuring 16 inches on center and lineing them up to the middle of that mark. I know some times there not hundred percent level, so I was curious how you do it?
Cool 😎 thanks
No problem 👍
Tks so much this videos help me a lot
The housewife looks great tks again
Of course! Thanks for the support! 🤘🤘
Nice job. Sure appreciate your tutorial.
Thanks Mike!
Amazing doing this addition solo! Question: are you at all concerned about water and snow along the underside of the posts and joints. I would for my contractor to build something similar but my bulkhead would exactly where your French doors are leading to my basement. You are truly skilled Kudos👍🏽🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thanks so much!
No, i havent had any issues. The overhangs help also with that.
This has helped me so much !!!
What are you going to build?
@ 17:13 . 😅 . I told the screen . "Watch your hand Baby girl" ..
Great video!
Thanks for the support!
Nice job !!!!!
Thanks!
You didn’t explain the corner studs or the king crown at all, which is what I needed help with.
Sorry about that, I explain the condo corners in my basement framing video

The double top plate was at the end of the video?
I'm wondering why do not use treated wood. Thanks, great job
Interior framing is not treated as it won’t be exposed to the elements.
Guau muy buen trabajo
¡gracias por el apoyo! ¡Lo apreciamos! 🤙🤙🤙
Nice work. Enjoyed it. Don't see your PERMIT displayed. 😜
Haha it was there 🤘 Thanks so much for the support!
Hello. Great video. Showed me exactly what I need to do. Have one question. Submitted plans to city and they gave me a conditional approval. They want to know how addition walls are going to be connected to existing wall. It seems to me that since you did not remove the sheathing on the existing house all that needs to be done is to nail 2 x 6 walls ends to the sheathing. Am I missing something?
I did remove the sheathing and the walls are connected directly to framing, if a wall doesn’t land on a stud then frame across from stud to stud to get a connecting point.
When you watch the video you can see I cut the sheathing back on both wall convection points
Casa a un cajon forrado de madera resiclada
Again you did not put a foam strip under the footer 2x6 wall for air intrusion. You keep saying it is cold there. You only can do the barriers beforehand.
Grate job looking good. ? I have lots off extra treated 2x6s could I use them and would they pass Inspection if I use them for the walls & rafters. Thanks for sharing and blessings
Ive heard you can, but some people are saying it needs to be sealed. I would just give your building inspector a call and run it by him. Then you'll know if it is even passable before you do any work 🤙🤙🤙
How are you securing the stud plate to the wooden foundation?
Id go with ledger loks.
Maybe I'm premature, here, but why didn't you insulate under the floor?
We just used closed cell spray foam after the fact;
ruclips.net/video/wEdIQHlWiqY/видео.html
Sorry if this sounds dumb but do you brace the walls to each other on the corners? Or do you just bolt them down the the floor and they’re good to go? I’m very new to carpentry but I want to learn.
They're nailed together all the way up the side and the king crown is overlapped and secured.
I'm more curious with the price. How much did this job cost?
Hey question on the ledger board, the inspector didn’t require any piers at the ledger on the house? Only pairs are at the end?
Nope, the span and cantilever were to code.
Because I don’t know, why 16” centers and not 24”? All the reading I’m doing says typical is 24? Is that wrong or just another way of doing it?
24" is allowable in this situation, i just did 16".
The only situation where 2x6 wouldnt be allowed 24"OC would be a three story house.
Check out IRC Table R602.3(5) Size, Height and spacing of wood studs
codes.iccsafe.org/content/IRC2018/chapter-6-wall-construction
Looks good. Awesome video!
How do you find such nice lumber. Every time I have to buy lumber its crap.
Haha you have to dig through the whole pile. Pull from the middle of the pile.
Would you recommend a concrete slab or a raised wood floor like this? I’m in a situation where I could go either way
If you have the cash I’d probably go solid foundation.
How long can I leave my 2x6 walls framed up like this before sheathing before it starts to warp? It is going to be 2 weeks for me is this too long? Ordered the plywood
No, that will be fine!
How much does it cost to pull the permits? Does the architect do that? Or who does ?
You would have to check with your building department, every municipality has their own set fees. I pulled my permits. You may not need an architect.
Question: No double top wall plate??
Hmm, there’s a double top, it might be at the beginning of the siding video.
Sorry, I noticed you installed the double after walls were installed. LOL!!
Why built 2 floors
What do you mean?
How wide did you make the door? And is it a standard size?
We used a 36" door, make sure you account for your casing.
Ur the fk PRO!!
Haha not quite but thanks for the kind words!
Do you frame an exterior wall with 2by6 or 2by 4
Either, depends on what insulation and r value you are trunk to achieve.
Hey my fiance and I are planning to do work to our home. We have a one bedroom now, but I wanted to build on an extra bedroom for our newborn.The house has been uninhabitable for a few years now and this is my first time doing this can you guys help me?
You got this! Read and watch and you got this! 💪💪
Do you mind if I ask how much for that addition? I want something like that
If you pay someone to build it, a lot.
did you insulate the floor
Yes, we used Foam it Green spray foam, it should be in the playlist or a few videos after this one.
You did really good work man! what is your construction background?
Thanks! Not as much as you'd think, lots of reading, watching tutorials and whatnot.
I will start building my house next year, first floor Will be concrete etc and the 2nd floor on timber, i really love your videos, i love that you work clean.
Do you have to remove the siding to build the walls right or can you leave it in the addition? Just asking cause the new room addition made to our house still has the siding inside and the wall join connecting the old and new walls looks a little uneven and feels a bit drafty at times
I mean, i guess you could leave it, seems a little bit lazy but i would imagine as long as its plumb and secured well you shouldn't have an issue. Crossing my fingers for you that you didn't hire chuck in a truck. 👀
@@BreakFreeHomestead Its a done deal months ago though moving into the room I felt it a bit drafty and had to caulk the joints over, was not happy with the contractor ether as he left the finial touches undone and didn't clean the trash up after 95% was finished....he just walked off from the job
what model nailer is it?
Metabo 21 framing,

What do you think this addition is going to cost you, ballpark?
WAY TOO FREAKING MUCH!!!
I was buying lumber when it was way too expensive. But i honestly stopped keeping track.
probably close to 15-20 maybe
Its kinda weird that they are still building some houses with only 2x4 walls. I wouldn't imagine 2x6s wouldn't be that much more expensive as 2x4s to make that much of a difference and you'd add so much more strength and insulation.
Very true, anything to save a buck. But hey wood is out of control right now so when you multiply that by a large house it makes a big difference.
How u do the foundation tho?
Here it is!
ruclips.net/video/IF01dbZRlw4/видео.html
Do u need a permit for this
I did, everywhere is different.
Where’s the foundation,
Pier and beam foundation, it can be found in the playlist!

Where in NH are you?
Warner, what about you?

Good Job with the addition. What are your thoughts on the foam? Would you do it again? I'm about to rebuild an existing addition like this because the floor system is failing. I'm partial to Roxul, but with the overhang, Im thinking of doing foam.
Nice! Not too far! I’m pretty happy with it and the fact that I can just leave it open and nothing will move in is perfect!
how much?
A lot of peices.
@@BreakFreeHomestead lol
Why not just sell lumber like meat, by the pound. They could make a lot more profit, and it would be that much easier for "THEM" to "ENSLAVE" us!
Then they would just pump it with even more water 😂
This definitely won't fly in New York.
Good thing I won’t ever live in a communist state 🤔

It would go quicker if your helper would get off the phone. we are in trouble if adults cant stop staring at their hands.
I see you have a problem with my phone usage on several of our videos, most of the time i'm just here for emotional support and not to be a helper :)

@@Luckingsworth Please explain, im all ears.
"I'm assuming if you're building a header, you know which way to place your wood." But then I wouldn't be watching a RUclips video to learn how.... try to be more detailed as if you are teaching someone for the first time. Otherwise, thank you for the knowledge.
I am here to learn too I have no idea about a lot of the things he is talking about, I was thinking he would explain instead of saying everyone knows this. Nope I don't know this.
If only there was a repository of knowledge readily available to people with an internet connection, where people could go to look up terms and concepts.
Thank you!
Thanks for the support! 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
