You guys are doing great. I am retired now and miss it. I spent 42 years as a self employed general contractor......so many changes since I went in business in 1972.
What a nightmare to live in such a neighborhood. No trees, no cultural life, no point of interest, everything is distant and requires a car, every house is the same generic design. Wow.
Curious what is piece rate for framing up there? We framed walls and ceiling joists but other crews did stairs and another did roofs....seems like now they do it all
As a roofer I hate plywood roofs, we always are replacing plywood because it delaminates and it’s weak compared to OSB. I’ve fell through the roof multiple times, each time it was plywood.
I’m live in the us and we used to use 1/2 fir plywood from Canada and it was the best plywood ever. This video reminds of those days. Are lumber yard stoped caring it years ago probably cause of price I’m assuming.
@@carsongoodman5581 See your confusing a way over due roof replacement with being sheathing strength issue. Plywood is superior to OSB in the same thickness. I ripped a ~60 year old original roof deck off a house 2 years ago that was plywood, and ended up saving about 75% (because the GC in charge was planning to pay to dump it but i offered to take it) to build garage and trailer shelving. The only parts that were de-laminating were obvious leaks around vents and one valley, of which OSB would have crumbled and collapsed years ago under my regions snow loads vs the plywood which was still strong enough to stand on.
Staples dont hold better, long term they just work their way back out, use ring shank nails unless your a tightwad, it’s really not that much more in the big picture.
@@zekeisme1 Staples might hold better in some ways, but overall are the cheaper and weaker option compaired to a properly driven nail. The weak point in staples is the small diameter offers less sheer strength, as well as allowing more twist in the structure compared to nails.
Good morning, the framing gun your using is it LOAD staples or nails? Which is better to use? Does it really matter? Which is more conventional? Plea answer my question? I’m wanting to really know before I purchase nailer.
"framing help " I'm guessing. and just be honest about where you're at skill wise. a boss will respect that more than someone who talks a big game then can't back it up
@@framingbeast720 awesome thank you soo much. Im currently 19 and the framer for mobile homes. Wanted some experience first before going to the big leagues. Always loved seeing the skeleton of houses being made and Id love to make my own house some day. This will forsure help, thank you again
I've done it in the past years ago when we did everything from Windows doors attic hatches framed in stairs formed porches but now all I do is frame and no doors
Hey get me a job I have 3 uncles in Canada but I live in the states and I'm a roofer with more than 10 years of experience I see that they are lots of roofs to be dry in jeje
I wish it was that straightforward for you. I think at very least you would need a temp visa and that's not even considering whatever covid rules in place
So dewalt or skil cordless worm drive?..... what would you say? Just burnt up my cheap ass 6” so time to invest. I am a roofer but use it all the time.
I've never used the skil cordless wormdrive saw only held it in a showroom and felt incredibly heavy and not very well thought out...the battery is massive
ive been framing for about a year now, how do you keep your body feeling good? i stretch and work out but definetly worry about my back in the long run.
Yes your back hurts but you also get stronger than average. Office jobs make u fat and unhealthy. So really it sucks having a job where your back doesn’t hurt too. Other things hurt. It’s a sacrifice and a choice. Shoutout from Seattle area.

@@framingbeast720 u guys do great work. Very connected with ur cut man. Iv been in business doing remodeling for 35 yrs my son is working for me while getting his bachelors. He likes what we’re doing so we are working together great. Puts less stress on thinking about the next step. Keep up the great work
I mix it up but when you run the numbers they even or in favor of tract homes and less stress. The last one I did was almost a yr ago and before that a bunch of giants for PCM NOW. Google that to see only nice builds
Getting in with a GC doing subdivisions is pretty much guaranteed work for the next x amount of time at y amount per job as well as most of them being same/almost identical makes it easy work. The only downside being often their low dollar jobs which is why cookie cutter homes have a reputation of being cheap and expensive at the same time. Their cheap because they take the lowest bidder which means you get the least work possible from most subs and are built usually to a bare minimum code requirement. But expensive because they up-sell on finishes (you know the things you actually see so most people care about) and usually built in areas where housing is in high demand and cost of living is through the roof leading to a 1/4 acre lot 3 bed house sells for $600k.
@@framingbeast720 cut yourself a right triangle pattern 42 15/16 on the bottom 48" on the side. Use it as a big speed square. You will never need two measurements for a hip or valley cut.

love the different perspective! is the 3/8 sheathing? a bit soft compared to 7/16?
It's softer and nicer to work with vs osb I find just because you can only put one side up on the osb so more of a puzzle job to keep waste low

@Framing Beast what type of stapeler have you got? And why does roof sheating get stapeled and not nailed?
staples hold better. but you can nail it if you want
Double the number of staples by Code. Still costs less than using nails.
Staples dont hold better, long term they just work their way back out, use ring shank nails unless your a tightwad, it’s really not that much more in the big picture.
Bostitch newer style dunno the model...if you take a sheet off with staples it comes off in pieces of that's any indication of stength

Do you guys have roof nailing inspections?
Yes she looks for nailing patterns in girders, train spikes in truss hangers ..things like that
The builder should be inspecting.
@@thomaswayneward they do
enjoying all the vids very much! eager to see the channel grow
Thankyou Thor, I'll do my best to post good content
Me to keep um coming
Should be 1/2”. When we’re redoing roofs with 3/8” it’s always sagging between trusses. Shingle nails hold better with 1/2”.
Should be 5/8. I've seen someone go thru half inch
@@JT-hs3pe and should be 2 3/8" ring shank nails
ill let the builder know lol
Should come to my location 3/4” Avantech for slate 😂

At least they are using ply wood

Ever home I built, I used 5/8" yellow pine plywood on the decking. Can't believe people use 3/8".
Flimsy crap
And i cant believe people use particleboard for mobile home floors lol. Some peoples children
dont you have to space all 4 edges ? verticle and horizontal
All the houses look the same. Must be robots living in them.
Dude have you got a mullet? Rock on.
😂
Lol no it just could use a trim but mullet would be classy
Must be working on a Sunday when no ones walking below as they just throw scrap pieces off the roof. No Courtesy Headache Call ! 🤦🏽♂️😆😆😆
I think it was a Wednesday, they shut it down on weekends

Is plywood cheaper than OSB now ?
Yep
Not sure
No sir not in Oregon at least
