Awesome book that gives you step-by-step photos ruclips.net/user/postUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt and directions to make every day project. I can see myself making a few of these projects and giving them as housewarming and holiday gifts!
I frame for $1m+ custom homes for a living. You did good, and your names for things are hilarious! We do call the “center beam” a beam sometimes, “ridge beam”, “ridge” are common. I’m sure it’s been said, but the header is indeed for strength. When you’re framing, think of the weight that starts at the peak if your roof (especially here in New England during winter…snow load!) and transfers down to the foundation and footings. When we frame, we do our best to have the rafters sit directly over the studs in the wall below it, and those studs should line up with your floor joists (when applicable), which should sit over the studs in the floor below, etc. all the way down. This is also helpful for the other trades when they run wire, pipe, ducts, etc. Windows and doors are voids in your framing where weight isn’t being transferred directly down. Depending on the weight above, your header may need to be spec’d (for instance the house I’m on right now has several engineered LVL beam headers that are 24in tall, because there is a post on top carrying weight of other LVL structural beams). It many cases, a simple dimensional lumber header is fine (3 pieces of 2x10 laminated with 2 pieces 1/2 inch plywood for a 2x6 wall, 2 pieces 2x10 laminates with 1 piece 1/2 inch plywood for a 2x4 wall). Laminating these pieces gives you the load bearing of 2 or 3 pieces if wood, standing on edge, and the correct thickness for the wall, especially for longer windows or doors where a less tall header could sag in the middle (think slider doors or triple windows). The header transfers the weight above it to the jack (reacher lol) studs that it sits on, which then bear the load to the floor. For larger headers (we do any header over 3ft) you should do two jack studs on either side. This won’t apply to your treeless tree house, but you also need to know what’s in the floor and where the weight bears. Again, our current house has headers in doors that bear weight from structurally important beams for the floor above it. This means that under the jack studs, in the floor below, we needed structural beams that spanned to the main load bearing beams in the basement (which sit on columns that transfer to the footings). Tmi? Lol
Not "tmi" at all. A fascinating read, actually. I love hearing / reading how these things are done around the world. I tease about you guys not building with brick n mortar but I ain't gonna lie, if I were building it would be your guys style now. The enjoyment alone beats brick hands down. Love Jason's use of Sketchup. I use it too and can see me doing some framing for my kids and what I'm learning here is going to help. So thank you for your in depth description. I just have to translate all that to real measurements (metric 😉), and apply. Cheers from across the pond.
I'm right in the middle of having a 2nd floor put on my detached garage. I have 4x6 posts going up beside the garage door to carry a 4x16LVL beam, a 6x6 post on top of that to carry the 6x16 LVL ridge beam. 2x12 rafters and 2x6 framing. Upper floor is wood I-beams to free-span across the garage... calling it the "man loft".
@@Gamerock82 it’s never a bad idea (even though we as framers complain about it) to over engineer as well. Especially when you’re kids are gonna be on/in what you’re building. Good luck with your projects!
@@deanwoodward8026 that sounds cool, the wooden I beams (we call then tgi, don’t ask me why lol) are cool. We use them occasionally for longer spans. A really nice bonus to them is how flat your floor can be because it’s engineered product. With dimensional lumber you get crowns, where the wood has warped and isn’t straight anymore, which can cause humps in your floor. The downside we’ve noticed is sometimes you have more deflection, depending on the span. I believe that engineered products need to be used according to an engineer/manufacturer plan, so it’s typically not a safety issue…just sometimes you can feel some bounce in the floor. Your ridge sounds pretty beefy, do you get a lot of snow where you live? Or other severe weather? Our current project has some double and triple lvl ridges, but there’s several layers of roof that lay over each other, and some very shallow pitches that will hold snow.
What I find magnificent here: Your jumps and moves at the beginning of many videos attract my two toddlers to be quite and check whole videos along with their woodworking junkie dad, me. Thanks for that man, I am encouraging you to continue with these.
Been doing construction/framing for over 30yrs, there were a few things I saw/heard that were a tad off, but your Kung Fu skills are way better than mine so you win! 😂😂😂
Your family is living its best life with you as a woodworking father who loves them. You are a shining example of what men should strive for; before I saw this video I liked your channel for its quality and now I like you even more as a person seeing that your commitment is genuine. Your humility is a breath of fresh air in a world that is increasingly full of self-absorbed narcissists.
I'm a 45 year old man who just closed on my first house this week. My wife instantly asked me if I'm going to build a treehouse like the guy I'm always watching on RUclips. Um this is neither in my skill set or my energy level. But hey dreaming, planning, saving, and being patient brought us this far, so who knows. Can't hurt to dream.
Was it one of those questiones framed as a joke that she was actually serious about? I get those... and a horse fence, chicken coop, climbing wall, trampoline, pool (with mini-deck), raised bed garden, half-finished basement, and box-wire fenced front yard later... she's given me all the excuses I need to buy a TON of tools that I had no clue how to use when I started a project!
@@Stryker25B a little bit of both I'm sure, but mostly she meant it as a joke. Since putting in our offer on the house I've been watching a lot of diy videos and showing her plans for improvements I plan on making, so sometimes she would walk by and see me watch this series and and ask if I'm planning on doing this as well. Our son is also 7 so he would love it if I did but I really don't think I'm good enough at any of this to actually pull it off.......yet. I also don't have the $ for a project this big.......................yet.
Well, Jason also has no idea what to do either, or whether what he’s doing is correct or not, so why not try. Granted, you may not be able to afford this build, which he’s mentioned costing $17k so far, or be able to earn RUclips money to pay for it, or claim the tax back - or whatever is done in the US. Either way, go for it and good luck.
I subscribe to a bagillion different construction/builder channels on RUclips, but this series, more specifically this episode, is hands down my favorite building series I've ever watched. I would pay good money for a "Construction with Bourbon Moth" series. Love it man! Hope the foreman is happy!
Hey man, i see all your videos from France. I really like your job. You are professionnal and funny. Stay what you are. Thanks a lot. Fred from Toulouse.
I really appreciate this video series. It shows me the process without unnecessary size. I will be adding a porch/ entrance way 8x12, and the rafters are my weak spot. It is nice to see the whole process done by someone who is also easy to watch.
It's really cool that you put a window in the roof truss, ceiling space. Don't know if you thought of this but, you could put like a little 2nd floor "bed loft" area up there. Then you can put a small bed and a chair, sitting spot in the loft area. Lucky kid, best dad ever! I bet, in 20 years, he will still be talking about this project.
It's a cool idea, but I don't know if it would be worth the effort. It would probably be hot as hell up there. You wouldn't necessarily think so, but even before drywall is thrown up to separate attics from the rest of the house, the attic is noticeably hotter than rooms just below it. A lot of the time, the difference between sweating and not sweating is how high you're standing on the ladder.
Thanks for letting me have my fun on Sat. morning! I hope Thee Foreman is going to have as much fun playing in it as you did building it and us watching you build it!
That little clip of your wife asking you to open that large jar (I assume for printing) was just an alpha move in addition to cutting things off your foot and I loved it!
The dinner plates need some bolts securing it to the floor. Nails are good to hold the wall in place to square everything thing up but, bolts are needed to secure them in place.
21:45 in video boy you left out the best part about how people from all around the hood come to you because you are an expert a opening jars / man you have mad skills we haven't even seen yet !!!
I love the tree house or house on stillts? Your terminology is spot on. One thing I'd add before moving forward is some hurricane ties at least to roof framing. Not sure how high of winds you get but that will add to up lift force on the roof. Love the show keep it up.
Awesome job! That is one WAY overbuilt roof (which is fine). I normally either make by own trusses on the ground or buy them. Its a lot easier to use trusses but there is nothing wrong with a ridge and rafter roof. They've been around for a very long time.
I love this series! Also love the Bourbon Saturday morning wake up vid. I won’t lie though. I cringed a little on the back wall when you were shooting the big nail gun towards your foot! 😅
The fact that Ive never framed, and now if I do( Im sure my son will want a thunderdome at some point), im gonna use your terms, is all the joy I needed for the day. Mmmmm dessert sounds good right now.
Hey brother, great video! In the future, if you’re not already aware, you can use a chalk line to mark your studs on your plywood to speed up your nailing. Instead of trying to chase a stud, (especially when it’s laying down) you just mail in the chalk line. Helps me, thought it may bless you as well. Thank you for the video.
Greetings from Western Washington, raised a couple miles from you in Lebanon. I posted my greenhouse framing video a couple weeks ago. I must say, you did a better job than me on framing up your structure. Keep up the posts. R/Chris
Looks great, small tip (framed many a wall), when you step on the piece of wood before you nail gun it, make sure your foot is back 3-5 inches from the inside corner. Here's why: I've seen dudes basically shoot themselves in the foot with the nail gun by having their foot too close and missing the piece they were aiming for. Steel toe shoes, help, but aren't impervious and you looked like you were just rocking cloth shoes. Like I said, just the tip. Keep up the fun videos.
20 years ago I was using a Hitachi framing nail gun firs time and I nailed my left thumb. And my thumb nail still grow broken. By the way good job Jason. Greetings from El Salvador.
Dig it! Good work If you’re a perfectionist, like my building crew, then yes, you should use a flush trim bit. We measure and cut the voids before attaching the sheeting, leaving them just a little long, then come back and get them flush with a router.
Nice video again You need cross bracing or shear wall on lower half of structure to keep building from racking/collapsing under side load/wind/seismic load... I could be wrong, please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks again.
I have great respect for those in this world that jump in and just do it. It’s how I learned and we learn by failing ha! Great videos and you’re fun to watch outside your comfort zone…
The treehouse is coming together nicely! And a side note: Great choice in Bourbon! That is made in Kentucky, and the County I live in! It’s always nice to see a man with good taste!
Many builders would use studs (92-5/8 in.) rather than 8-foot 2x4 s for the wall. That way, you don't have to cut them and 8-foot sheathing would reach the top of the dessert plate, the bottom of the dinner plate, and overlap the floor by 3/8 inch to prevent rain from coming in. Drywalling or panelling a wall that is 8-foot, 3-inches tall would mean a lot of extra work and expense. But who drywalls a treeless treehouse?
Ridge beam. In New Zealand that’s what we call it. Then the rafters run from the ridge beam to the top plate on the wall. The piece of bigger timber over a window or door is a lintel. It stops the roof weight pushing onto the window or door and stop it from breaking the window or door
I did some framing on our closet addition this summer, I used my son-in-laws framing gun, man that thing has a kick. I have been used to using my 18 g and 23 g nail guns for woodworking. Great job and I love the new terms you gave them.
I think I feel bad for that Home Depot guy trying to find dinner plates, dessert plates and king cobra studs for the next guy who builds this tree house.
Well Rookie, so far (1 min. & 37 sec.) in, I've NEVER seen anyone ever trim a floor with a tract saw. This should be interesting! More to come! Am I going to have fun here!!!
I know most of the terms in contracting and I'm gonna start using yours. They just make more sense haha. man I've been waiting for the next episode of this series. God bless buddy
Great video. Good job! You guys didn't do too bad. So if it's a treeless tree house then wouldn't it be called a playhouse? Lol. Can't wait to watch the following videos.
It's been many years since my high school architecture class, and I never ended up being a contractor, but from what I remember (and the comments seem to back this up) you did really good :) My main concern would be the bottom of the walls just being nailed in. I know to tie wooden walls to brick or concrete bases you bolt a board to the brick/crete to then attach the other wood bits but I can't remember if you simply nail the walls to that board or bolt them in too 🤔 (logic says bolting would be stronger downward pressure, but with high enough winds to knock a wall over bolts/screws might shear where nails would flex) Edit: watching the sponsor ad, gotta say several months back I picked up a bottle of Woodford based on a recommendation by a friend and seeing you drink it, it was definitely a good choice 👌 (bit pricier than Crown or Wild Turkey but good rich flavor)
I have to admit, building a 12 & 12 gable ends on the ground for a small building is SMART! Here I thought you were going to cut and stack your outer trusses. Not bad ROOKIE!
Tie the rafters together with a few beams. At the moment, if there is any pressure on the roof/rafters they will push your walls out. That is the reason that a lot of roofs are made in a way that the rafters are connected with a beam to form a triangle and then placed ob the roof.
Dinner plate and dessert plate. You got me cracking up. 🤣 king cobra studs. If you never mentioned your son. This proves you are a dad of the highest order.
Nice bit of work, just a bit of advice on practicality you could have leaned the timbers against the platform and once you go on top you just pull them up, you will have less walking and a clear working area

I thought you needed to put in some peter dinklages between those vertical studs. I know near zip about framing so following the theme here.
As someone who has done a bit of framing professionally, I just died when you said dessert plate. Funniest thing I've heard all day XD
What's its real name? Does it have one?
@@svenrostin2843 Top plate, I believe.
Yep-Bottom plate and Top plate.

He must add a second window (even a smaller one) in the opposite wall to allow air circulation. Then it will be much cooler.
the Larry Haun Framing Video Series is all you ever need if you want to learn framing.

Completely redefined the terminology for framing a house! I love it!!!

"dinner plat" a real Larry Haun here😄
As a carpenter, I now have some new terminology that I will use everyday.
Make sure you say them with a straight face, mate!
Me aswell.
The treehouse is looking good !!!!
Yayyyyyyyyyyyyy. More treehouse videos. Yay. Framing. Yay it looks awesome
Love following this tree house journey!! Thanks for sharing! 👍🏾
Nice video again You need cross bracing or shear wall on lower half of structure to keep building from racking/collapsing under side load/wind/seismic load... I could be wrong, please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks again.
Is there a Simpsons-esque Treehouse of Horrors episode for Halloween?
Yes please
That’s a pretty hefty load you introduced to the sub structure. So much for a “little” treehouse.
Love this Video! The Foreman has to be around more to inspect your work! LOL You are a great father!

Your videos are wee moments of pure happiness...
What a lucky young man Iver is, and very handsome! Nice job
Ridge beam. In New Zealand that’s what we call it. Then the rafters run from the ridge beam to the top plate on the wall. The piece of bigger timber over a window or door is a lintel. It stops the roof weight pushing onto the window or door and stop it from breaking the window or door
The "tree" house definitely needs a fireman's pole 😁
Loving this series. You're one cool dad Jason 👏👏👏👏
I think you mean Foreman's Pole.
I did some framing on our closet addition this summer, I used my son-in-laws framing gun, man that thing has a kick. I have been used to using my 18 g and 23 g nail guns for woodworking. Great job and I love the new terms you gave them.
the most overbuilt play house ever. I love it!
Hi, there's no top plate on top of your frames (code) to take the weight of the roof timbers and sheeting.?
Working on a treeless treehouse myself for my boys right now! Thank you for the videos and encouragement!
Your carpentry skills are amazing! This is going to be a beautiful treehouse once you are done!
This guy should do woodwork as a career. Yes he is that good!
I’m enjoying this build and look forward to seeing it completed.
Great episode! Fun names…Jack Reachers and King Cobras especially. 😂
You do great work for a supposedly clueless maker.
Looking wonderful
Great work Jason. I really love these videos and admire the way you keep challenging yourself.💪👍
You make me want to go buy some wood & build something. Not a "not- a-treehouse house" but something.
Thank you for this video.
Good job Craig!!! Y’make Jason and the foreman proud.
I think I feel bad for that Home Depot guy trying to find dinner plates, dessert plates and king cobra studs for the next guy who builds this tree house.
Well Rookie, so far (1 min. & 37 sec.) in, I've NEVER seen anyone ever trim a floor with a tract saw. This should be interesting!
More to come! Am I going to have fun here!!!
That is the best way
Not a bad idea and I’ve seen it done on decks
Love the Nomenclature
A sketch up tutorial channel or video . Would be great Mr Moth
You are a never-fully-grown-up, Jason! Just like me. Crazy dude, nice project! Great job framing it!
I know most of the terms in contracting and I'm gonna start using yours. They just make more sense haha. man I've been waiting for the next episode of this series. God bless buddy
Great video. Good job! You guys didn't do too bad.
So if it's a treeless tree house then wouldn't it be called a playhouse? Lol. Can't wait to watch the following videos.
Love seeing the progression on your house addition in the background. Are you going to make videos on that also?
Thank you for sharing your expertise
It's been many years since my high school architecture class, and I never ended up being a contractor, but from what I remember (and the comments seem to back this up) you did really good :)
My main concern would be the bottom of the walls just being nailed in. I know to tie wooden walls to brick or concrete bases you bolt a board to the brick/crete to then attach the other wood bits but I can't remember if you simply nail the walls to that board or bolt them in too 🤔 (logic says bolting would be stronger downward pressure, but with high enough winds to knock a wall over bolts/screws might shear where nails would flex)
Edit: watching the sponsor ad, gotta say several months back I picked up a bottle of Woodford based on a recommendation by a friend and seeing you drink it, it was definitely a good choice 👌 (bit pricier than Crown or Wild Turkey but good rich flavor)
as usual you have made my day. truly enjoy your videos. you have given many ideas to make something
I have to admit, building a 12 & 12 gable ends on the ground for a small building is SMART! Here I thought you were going to cut and stack your outer trusses. Not bad ROOKIE!
Het ziet er goed uit geweldig gedaan top job 🤩🎉En het was een leuke film 🎥 bedankt 👌👍👋🏼
Tie the rafters together with a few beams. At the moment, if there is any pressure on the roof/rafters they will push your walls out. That is the reason that a lot of roofs are made in a way that the rafters are connected with a beam to form a triangle and then placed ob the roof.
Really nice work on that project!!!
Looking pretty darned good.
Glad you are back on this! It is looking great! I would fight to be able to live in this in the warmer months if i was your son!
Dinner plate and dessert plate. You got me cracking up. 🤣 king cobra studs. If you never mentioned your son. This proves you are a dad of the highest order.
Lookin sharp Bro ! Keep it going !!! 👍🏻🇺🇸👍🏻 everyone should have a treehouse !!
It's looking great. An idea if you're open to it; what about a fireman pole right in front of the door all the way to the ground??
Nice bit of work, just a bit of advice on practicality you could have leaned the timbers against the platform and once you go on top you just pull them up, you will have less walking and a clear working area
