A bad week as a carpenter

- This week, I worked on 4 different frames while I waited for my next job to start up.
I spent alot of this week fixing problems that some of these frames have, and sharing a not so glamorous week of carpentry

I just noticed the audio issues towards the end of the video! Everything was fine before I exported the video, I have no idea what happened but I’ll make sure it doesn’t happen again!
You may have noticed, I changed this video to private as I tried to fix the issue.
I tried re exporting the video and every time I was having the same audio issues.
I’m sorry for the silent parts in this video but I’ll be sure it doesn’t happen again
Thought it might have been some confidential stuff, lol

I am a carpenter from South Carolina US . 43 years exp. I am really impressed by the fall protection and scaffolding . Many subcontractor's here consider it waste of time to erect scaffolding , Only when you can't suspend yourself in mid-air . On my own jobs , I had to budget out labor for it but many others expect you to walk on some rickety 2x's with a knot in the center. We have a lot of danger here and we have to work dangerously. In all my years I have never seen Occupational Safety Inspectors on site . Aside from that . I recognize a lot of the bypassed mishaps and work. You're worth your weight in gold if you as a framer can correct mistakes that even an inspector missed . Do a walk around in every room and an experienced eye can tell where a boo boo will occur .. That crawlspace was tight !! Feel for the plumber . Here Code is 457mm minimum clearance under joist and 305mm under drops . I liked the sub-flooring . Smaller strips of T&G you don't have to fight installing . Tell the guy nailing . In the field of a sheet. Don't nail straight down . LOL. I saw the " Pagoda " on the hip jacks . Caught my eye in an instant . had to be corrected and you did it . Enjoyed a ton . Peace
why can't i stop watching DDC vids, they are so bloody interesting, I even went out and bought that Aeg framer. Thanks Dave
I just came from watching the Site inspections channel and funnily enough this seems very similar. Good to see your taking the effort to fix the issue and prevent future problems. Good to see we still have good carpenters out there, keep up the good work.
Mate..keep this type of info flowing. You are a true legend...Im 45 this year and still learning from day to day
Love your work brother, WELL DONE!! Love the channel
Very impressed with your work, especially fixing all the mistakes that you came across. Well done and all the best...
Carpenter from west coast of Canada . I love hearing the different lingo . Cool video and nice work
love the videos mate, being a roofer from queensland its always interesting watching these vids
I'm like you I can't leave stuff that's dangerously wrong.... I don't know about your local laws but in the usa we have Simpson structural joist hanger screws. They are premited to be as small as 3/4 or 1in long and that lack of nails in thoea hangers is exactly how we would remedy (with a right angle adapter) thoes impossible situations. In the past we would have to jam a joist hanger nail pushed in with a pry bar then switch to a concrete form stripper (huge pry bar) to finish off the nails. What a pain.... maybe if any of these ideas might be useful down the road. Having a solution to every problem is what makes things go easy.
Inspectors eyes are painted on 😂😂
The man Dave, chippy bosses should be running there eye over jobs after knocking frame up to double check it’s good .. same as building suspended slabs one missed prop could be a disaster on pour day!
Nice work mate, good to see a Vic carpenter that cares.
Cheers mate!
definitely blame the inspector and the chippies, way to many issues to have just missed a few. I'm building with clarendon in brisbane, ill definitely be going in after hours to check the quality.
I run aeg.. sometimes if the batteries heat up ya have to take em out and put em back in to get em to go
Can you report the inspector to the VBA please !
VBA are hopeless
In the US, 18 inches is the minimum clearance under floor joists. That looked claustrophobic !!
You should get the DeWalt USB battery topper. Usb-c so would give you the best chance to charge or run your phone.
I'm only 4 minutes in and this scares the shit out of me as a potential home buyer. Why are there still surprises and improvisation when we've been building houses for centuries now? Moreover, why are carpenters just having a go at re-engineering things on the fly?
hey mate im 25 years old and in my final year of studying my bachelor of architecture. Ive noticed that computer life isnt for me and id much rather be on the tools building. Id like to start a carpentry apprenticeship after graduating and then eventually becoming an open class builder to not waste my architecture degree. can you offer me any advice or tips in order to prepare for getting a mature aged apprenticeship, and some advice on how to really master the art of carpentry.
Thanks
Don't let your boss rush you. If you aren't learning, find a new employer.
Hey Dave.. have you found the AEG nail gun heavier than other brands or is it about the same? Cheers
Hay Mate, what does it mean by “carpentry isn’t a licensed trade”. Anyone could do the frame without license?
Site inspections 😂
I do little reno's and bits and see some rubbish, just on our pissant jobs.
The jobs are getting bigger 😂
Can't wait for the next few years when all this crap starts moving and cracking crap.
We'll be on-site for weeks! 😂🤣
classic can trap at the end 😆
I'd have you building my house any day mate.. not those other cowboys
Unfortunately quality usually falls short to speed with residential projects. Especially when you work for a company that works for a major builder. From personal experience you were dogshit if you took longer than a day to finish a job. I'm a licensed sparky that worked in this environment in NSW for 8 years. i thought i was hot shit till i went to another company and they picked apart my work. A great eye opener and humbling experience. what im getting at is your only as good as you are taught. i had no idea i was cutting corner because it was the norm to me.
I know people make mistakes "12:36" but that Joist is fucked
Someone needs their arse kicked for that roof and specially the joist hangers, even a 2nd year apprentice could work out how to in stall hangers in tight spots. the building inspector is not doing their job and shouldn't be passing off stages if a massive cock up with nailing hangers is not found. i would of got reamed if i did that or even sacked. new builds the builder/ company in charge has to stand behind it for 10 years, well in NZ they do. if a qualified chippy installed them that is worse and he should have his qual removed.
I would be ashamed to have some come in behind me like this and correct so much.
I, like yourself make pretty decent money from fixing other people’s mistakes. Unfortunately it seems to be unlimited
that place needs the tik tok inspector.
Non compliant..
What a Schmozzle
unbelievable..... let's go!
What a shamozzle
