Steven Baczek Architect is so helpful to give a clear understanding of construction concepts of building science and teaching us continuity and the cross roads of HOW TO!!!
As a Licensed Builder who's done a Lot of framing in my career I appreciate your attention to detail and fore thought in elevations and sections. 90% of the Architects and Engineers I've worked with in the last 30 years have ZERO practical understanding of what's required to build their designs. When questioned on specifics their fall back is "Build it like I drew it." and that's a totally useless response in the field. I can draw the Death Star.....doesn't mean it can be built as drawn. Do you include a detail for required blocking in the joist space for load path? And yes I've subscribed.......
Haven’t been building nearly as long but just ran into this with an architect I just used. I wanted to do headers like this, and he wouldn’t budge off the old way we did headers (dimensional lumber, plywood and no insulation). I ended up asking another builder who was doing a home down the street and ran it by the inspector to get it done. We ran into similar issues with trying to get cathedral ceilings with the newer r value requirements without using spray foam.
@@cw6410 Dating myself....but been in this game sense you had to crown the 2x10 floor joists. A LOT has changed. Homes are a group of engineered systems. And those who cannot learn, adapt, and move forward have No business in the building trades. "I've always done it this way." is the excuse of the simple minded and those who learned by wrote......they were trained in "how" but never learned "why" it's done a specific way. The Architect you dealt with is an idiot with a degree. Passing inspection should be a given....it means you met the code.....which is the minimum acceptable standard, NOT necessarily the best practice. It means you got a "D". Those who can, do. Those who can't do, inspect. Those who can't inspect, teach. Those who can't teach, write the code.........
Just did our addition this way. I just did all headers with the double to make it easy, but it still gives us two inches to insulate. I just used some xps 2inch r10, and spray foam.

Another great video Steve, love the lvl king and Jack stud usage on wide openings
Curious what program you're using for these plans?? Thanks.....
Love this LVL 24" O.C. Framing Video././. Steve, Liked#54 N Subscribed!!!

Nice!
good one
Could you include an example of a window opening where T-studs are used for framing.
It seems to me that, even with T-studs for the majority of the wall framing, you’d still use solid lumber for anything that meets a window or door.
