North one is a joke. I'm starting a home business and they denied my application for ridiculous reasons. Inbound not recommended using them to anyone. Now they have a bunch of my personal info and god knows what they'll do with it.
I manage large commercial construction projects ranging to several hundred million dollars in contract value. I can confirm that starting construction without all of the necessary information, materials, and manpower needed is extremely common. If you didn’t start before you had all of the resources you needed, you would never complete the project. It’s all part of the game keep it up great work!
Props to Eric and his editing skillz - for the fact that this is like the 7th video about putting up the concrete moulds, I'm still absolutely gripped and can't wait to see more
I’m a one-man show. Hearing you guys talking about “90% of tools/supplies” hits home with me. Lunch is always spent picking something needed for the afternoon work & I’ve been doing this work as long as Arlo, just not retired yet.
@@rjkora - glad you liked it, twice! It was so great spending time with all the guys and helping where I could. grateful for my beautifully crafted PBB and crew home!🏠
Hope the new house is treating you well and you can enjoy some summer sun on your gorgeous deck!! Always a treat to see you in the comments! You are an honorary member of the crew for life.
@@teresakovach4144 - love my home! It’s slow getting the last bits done. Shower glass has yet to be installed- they found flaws in the glass as they went to load for install on June 11 and have yet to hear from them as to when. Furniture is in the queue for reupholstering and still looking for great deals on outdoor furniture. And I have yet to hang any of my art work.

Yes, my view during my build was pretty awesome 😎
The plywood used for concrete form is known as as 23/32 Plyform BB/OES. (Oiled/Edged/Sealed). The sealed keeps the plywood from sucking the moisture out of the concrete.
It also make them easier to remove after plus make them last longer since they are more weather resistant so you can reuse them several times and just rinse them off between jobs.
We are about the same size as you guys. Perfect days don’t exist. Just get as close as you can. We joke that Mondays everyone has to be retrained and Fridays everyone remembers all the stuff that was important to complete. We are blessed with great guys and customers. Keep making the videos, I love watching someone else work for once. My wife says….don’t you get enough of that stuff in the 10 hours your at work.😂
You know the day is going to go well when Ray has everything lined up and lubed up, ready to go. Loving this project. I’m curious if you will ever take on another form-based project like this again.
I never trust “perfect”. Real life is usually a mix of ups and downs. I’ve learned to celebrate little victories and not whine about challenges. Thanks for taking the time to create these videos. They are fun and instructive.
Will people watch all these framing videos? I will. Love your videos and crew. My father and I enjoy the pro tips too. I look forward to these videos so keep them coming!
Great project, I really enjoy following along on this venture. I’m an engineer living and working in the Caribbean where we do poured concrete structures all the time (because we have to built hurricane proof). To keep the steel from touching the forms we always use plastic spacer rings that you clip on to the steel. They come in all kind of different diameters so you can match them according to the coverage you need on the steel. Very easy to install and you always keep your steel in the right place.
“ Time to make the doughnuts. “ I’m not sure any of you guys are old enough to know the history of that phrase. It’s from an ad campaign in the 1980’s for Dunkin’ Donuts. Please don’t worry that we will get bored because we, the audience are here for the cast as much as the progress on the project. ❤ you guys are unique and interesting each in your own way ❤
To everyone at Perkins Builder Brothers, thanks for all of the great videos, I’ve learned a lot from watching and listening. You all look like a tight knit group of friends and your work is fantastic. Despite what the comments say, you guys are adaptive and do remarkably well despite not having all of the information in hand from the start. No matter how well you plan and prep, NOTHING ever goes the way you mean it to go, but that goes for life as well. God bless you all.
The actual work you are doing is a small thing as far as why I watch. The mix of personalities and the banter is what keeps me coming back. I actually enjoy Jamie's lessons.
guys you might have just saved me a ton of work since we’re building our house and it’s almost time to do the stone work on the front and since we’re going down to the concrete, gotta find that stuff to treat it before applying mortar
All the advise people are handing out for free just makes smile. You dudes are some of the hardest working people in this industry I’ve seen. You guys just keep on keeping on. Pailog Carpentry
I mean I do love seeing construction and learning tips but honestly it doesn’t matter what you guys are working on I’m pretty sure the main reason we’re all here is because you’re awesome and entertaining 😊
The changing seasons, team interaction, mountain locations, southern accents and humour make your videos irresistible to overseas viewers. 1M subscribers will be well earned and justified.
I haven't missed a single one of your videos since running up on them a year or so ago. I even went back and watched the first ones. I enjoy your all's interaction with each other as much as the construction content.
I’m a big fan of this series. I don’t care how many parts there will be or how “slow” the progress is. Thanks guys! I know it must be hard to edit all this footage down so frequently.
Regarding the conversation around 4:00, I am still surprised that you all do not have a lockable trailer that stays on-site with most daily tools, hoses, extension cords, fasteners, and a generator. Especially since you only have one crew. Hauling things to and from the site daily via all of your trucks is a great way to ensure things get lost or forgotten.
27.32 -- ply faces ---- Here we call it GOS (good one side) or sheathing/shuttering ply -- then there's good both sides -- all WBP (water and boil proof) exterior grade --- love watching you and your crew working - and you get to work in some lovely spots
Hey Eric. Loving this new build. Milwaukie guy here for a loooong time. I need the lighter weight for my elbow. Been doing this construction thing for way too long. LOL. Try the new High Output CP3.0 battery. You'll be amazed at the power difference. That little driver gets real torky with any of the High Output batteries. The tool is less likely to overheat with the high outputs. It can burn them out to use the the XC under certain heavy use. Ask me how I know.... Have a beautiful day guys. Peace
Hey, thanks! I’m loving the Milwaukee stuff so far! Only reason I hadn’t switched over sooner because the closest retail store to my house is a Home Depot that’s about a 40 minute drive
@@PerkinsBuilderBrothers Amazon my brother! Fyi Milwaukie also warranties all tools for 5 years. I just sent my Super Sawzall to them. It came back like new and they paid shipping both ways. Batteries get 2 years. My High output 12ah crapped out a month or so ago. I sent it to them and a week later. A brand new $250.00 battery shows up at my place. I really can't recommend them enough
Never in my life doing carpentry and building homes have I had everything I need. Just have to make what you have work! I very much appreciate you all being real.
All the advise people are handing out for free just makes smile. You dudes are some of the hardest working people in this industry I’ve seen. You guys just keep on keeping on. Pailog Carpentry You guys could use some equipment.
Be sure to leave a small panel or two at the bottom to clean off the footing before sealing everything up prior to pouring. The cleaner the footing, the better the bond. Most good inspectors do not like to see trash or debri in the form bottom.. Also, a real good tip to get a good wall pour is to order up a 7 bag "grout only" [no rock] mix for the first bottom 6" of all of the walls that are being poured. This gives a good bond to the existing footing, and goes a long way to help keep water from seeping under the wall when backfilled. It may sound time consuming, but it pays off big time, and is a very good trade practice.
You guys are getting so close to 1 million subscribers!! It’s been a true joy and pleasure to see your show grow over the last three years that I’ve been watching it! I fell upon your show here on RUclips after moving to the Tri-Cities area of Tennessee a few years back while I was searching for local building videos. Keep the great work up guys!
Just so you know. When tiling you glue the wall first. You glue the wall first because it’s the first point of contact. If there is any movement in the wall or floor the tiles will pop off because first point of contact is the tile rather than the wall.
I work in ship repair and do a lot of travel work, I am in Japan now. I sympathize with you all when you say missing tools or materials is part of construction. Every job is different, no two jobs need the same tools and materials. Just be glad you can run back to the house/shop to grab what you need. It's always fun trying to find things we need overseas.
Been watching your channel for ages. My Dad was a builder and I loved spending time with him on site and in the shed at home. Congratulations on the success of the channel!
According to my hubby, if everything is 100% perfect on the job site then somethings missing & it’ll come back to bite you in the bum later, every day is flexible & you trouble shoot on the fly. I’ll watch every day of framing❣️ it’s all progress and the banter is hilarious 🫶🏻 Shell the brickies wife 🇦🇺
I am looking forward to the concrete pour, then taking the shuttering down to really see the size of the building. My only complaint about the videos is, they are not long enough, I would happily watch a 2 hour video :)
The issue now is that the tie wire is going to be sticking out of the concrete we will lead to rust running down the face of the concrete. Also, I always just used wats called paper face plywood when I spent my years doing foundation work.
Love watching your builds. Great to see the banter and progress. I learn a lot about consistency and integrity and love that. like life. You have a special crew. ❤
A strip of high-vis spray paint or tape would probably do the same thing. Modern cars should have a sensor that tell you if it's closed or not or is that not a thing on trucks? It's a thing on my van at least.
I once worked at a commercial site where the walls were 24 feet tall , premodern flat then craned into its location ! Stripping the forms was fun , big bars on top of the wall ,it was one foot wide , it was great fun , Peter
It has been 30 years since I have done foundation work. Watching the walkway planks, i remember the "2 inch heart attacks" from stepping down the overlaps. I worked on painting a church stepple once with 8 levels of staging. Those were awful, heart attacks.
Tailgate problem? Just put a pressure switch, like the one in your door for you dome light, on the jam of the tail gate connected to an LED light that you put on your dash. Use accessory power so it only works with the truck running. Close the gate and the light turns off. You need a “normally closed” switch. ❤ the show!!!
It's so interesting to see all the little hiccups that can happen along the way. Means that if you need to do something yourself you've maybe learned something about what _not_ to do XD
I remember the first time i worked with Form work and felt like a fish out of water. Years later when I was Project managing a job and that experience put me in good stead. By the way in the UK we use steel whalers about 4" x 4" section. Otherwise mostly the same method.. Looking forward to seeing all that stud work going up. Its good to see you guys moving on to larger builds. You won't want to go back to the smaller ones. LOL
Hey, thanks Andrew! We definitely were a little slow out the gates doing this for the first time. I’m really really glad we got the experience of doing it though.
You may want to consider putting a whole layer of ply under the drywall in the bunker👍if there is going to be racks and shelves in there then they can be attached anywhere in the room
You guys throw up any video you want, and we will watch it. Love the vibe and really love this build. Also, look who is about to hit 1 million subs. Congrats on that.
To avoid working around the rebar while setting forms and then having it off center in those taller walls, often we will form one side of the wall and then tie the steel before closing it in with forms on the other side. It’s mostly commercial with cranes setting pre assembly form sections but the principle would help on a smaller job like this where it’s tough getting around the site. Awesome work guys
I live east of Raleigh where it's pretty flat so I'm able to easily tow a 12' cargo trailer with all of my tools. That definitely helps. Also I carry a pad and pen everywhere I go. There's a type I get. About 6" x 9", hard cardboard cover, and spiral bound with a big enough spiral to slip my pen in. Every day I have 3 columns: "Do", "Bring", and "Buy". When pages get too marked up I literally re copy my list onto a clean page. Much easier for me than trying to do a more tech friendly list. When a page is no longer needed I tear it out. It's the only way I can stay organized on a job.
I have done similar formwork out of plywood and 2x4s just not as tall. striking the forms is always the most satisfying part. i cant wait for the video of these forms being struck and seeing the finished product.
Ill be watching the framing videos! as long as yall keep it educational, Iv started working with a custom residential carpentry company and I think its everything i could have ever asked for in a career!
Hi from Hervey Bay Queensland, love the build. With the “vault” I remember in my former life as a bank officer most of our vaults had emergency ventilation tubes that allowed anyone trapped inside to have access to fresh air (some had fans to draw the air in as well). Keep safe !!
just 1 viewer but ill watch 150 episodes of this, you guys are the only ones who make videos about construction like this, also I'm the foreman at a lumber yard and i would be curious to here about what contractors expect
Love your videos. Interesting projects, great filming and editing, good job narrating, nice people. I always watch to come down after work. Your videos have given me great entertainment over the years - even helped me through hard times. Even your advertising does not bug me. You are a natural talent. Just saying.b
i will always watch anything you guys post. between you and jay's way, awesome and entertaining / informative content. thank you. keep it coming. even months worth of framing is A-OK.
The plywood on the panels is either HDO or MDO. High density overlay and medium density overlay. Yes BB fir plywood is also used. All depends on application and how many times it’s getting reused.
Rebar chairs would be your best friend that pushed the rebar around where you needed to be or we can use tie wire and pull it back to the other side of the panel. You don’t need to bend it. You don’t need to worry about that stuff.
When my dad put in the foundation (of the house I grew up in) a lot of it showed. In those days they poured the foundation level at the top with no steps down. Afterwards he mixed up a slurry of mortar mix and brushed it on. This was before I was born, early 50's. Pretty cheap finish but very durable.
What's the advantage or purpose of these "filled-in" walls vs, say, CMUs? The amount of work you guys have put in to construct these temporary forms that'll eventually be removed...it's a lot of work.
I really enjoy your videos and watching for them to come out twice a week. There will be lot of episodes in this build. I need a distraction to keep mind off the COVID that me and my wife just got and this helps a lot. Thanks for your channel.

You may want to consider putting a whole layer of ply under the drywall in the bunker👍if there is going to be racks and shelves in there then they can be attached anywhere in the room
You guys throw up any video you want, and we will watch it. Love the vibe and really love this build. Also, look who is about to hit 1 million subs. Congrats on that.
This really is going to be one hell of a big house. The forms alone are so much work
Thanks for taking us along
To avoid working around the rebar while setting forms and then having it off center in those taller walls, often we will form one side of the wall and then tie the steel before closing it in with forms on the other side. It’s mostly commercial with cranes setting pre assembly form sections but the principle would help on a smaller job like this where it’s tough getting around the site. Awesome work guys
I live east of Raleigh where it's pretty flat so I'm able to easily tow a 12' cargo trailer with all of my tools. That definitely helps.
Also I carry a pad and pen everywhere I go. There's a type I get. About 6" x 9", hard cardboard cover, and spiral bound with a big enough spiral to slip my pen in. Every day I have 3 columns: "Do", "Bring", and "Buy". When pages get too marked up I literally re copy my list onto a clean page. Much easier for me than trying to do a more tech friendly list. When a page is no longer needed I tear it out. It's the only way I can stay organized on a job.
I will watch you framing the house for months!
I have done similar formwork out of plywood and 2x4s just not as tall. striking the forms is always the most satisfying part. i cant wait for the video of these forms being struck and seeing the finished product.
Ill be watching the framing videos! as long as yall keep it educational, Iv started working with a custom residential carpentry company and I think its everything i could have ever asked for in a career!
Bank vault?? 👌 👌 might want to check on this place after they move in to make sure he didn’t turn it into a dungeon.
Hi from Hervey Bay Queensland, love the build.
With the “vault” I remember in my former life as a bank officer most of our vaults had emergency ventilation tubes that allowed anyone trapped inside to have access to fresh air (some had fans to draw the air in as well). Keep safe !!
just 1 viewer but ill watch 150 episodes of this, you guys are the only ones who make videos about construction like this, also I'm the foreman at a lumber yard and i would be curious to here about what contractors expect
I'm over the concrete forms, I can only imagine how y'all feel!
tired
I built custom homes throughout New England until accident. I miss it a lot. Love watching your videos
Love your videos. Interesting projects, great filming and editing, good job narrating, nice people. I always watch to come down after work. Your videos have given me great entertainment over the years - even helped me through hard times. Even your advertising does not bug me. You are a natural talent. Just saying.b
Plyform is used. Laminate on one side, C veneer on other. Very smooth finish.
i will always watch anything you guys post. between you and jay's way, awesome and entertaining / informative content. thank you. keep it coming. even months worth of framing is A-OK.
Hello from a sunny for a change North Wales in the UK. Unpredictable weather here too.
The plywood on the panels is either HDO or MDO. High density overlay and medium density overlay. Yes BB fir plywood is also used. All depends on application and how many times it’s getting reused.
I will watch it all, every one needs a laugh before bedtime.
Good morning y'all. Watching from Darlington, SC. Love watching your videos. Have a Blessed Sunday😁
Finally made it to the party. Had to finish the video of Ray and Jay tearing up Perkins' carpet😂😂😂 and counter top
Rebar chairs would be your best friend that pushed the rebar around where you needed to be or we can use tie wire and pull it back to the other side of the panel. You don’t need to bend it. You don’t need to worry about that stuff.
I actually find the form work interesting! Wouldn't worry to much about the content!
When you're working above cavities or people , try using a lanyard on your tools ( like you do with your pencils) to prevent loss of even injury !
When my dad put in the foundation (of the house I grew up in) a lot of it showed. In those days they poured the foundation level at the top with no steps down. Afterwards he mixed up a slurry of mortar mix and brushed it on.
This was before I was born, early 50's. Pretty cheap finish but very durable.
Looking fwd to lots of framing vids. That's the best part!
I love your videos, content and crew. No two videos are ever alike. Keep em comin!
What's the advantage or purpose of these "filled-in" walls vs, say, CMUs? The amount of work you guys have put in to construct these temporary forms that'll eventually be removed...it's a lot of work.
Cant wait for the 1M special with you guys :)
I really enjoy your videos and watching for them to come out twice a week. There will be lot of episodes in this build. I need a distraction to keep mind off the COVID that me and my wife just got and this helps a lot. Thanks for your channel.
Doing the forms for my foundation now. Glad to see this series and have someone else to commiserate with haha
hope its going well.. its hard work
Another great video! I'm in my final year to get my degree in Construction Management. I'd love to see more into Jamie's day to day!
