You are truly inspiring. You remind me of myself, chop chop, super human "CrossFit" working and building. Ive seen 10+ of your videos. I'm finishing up a 4 and 5 level concrete construction project in Mexico to rent out, then i plan to head to Texas to "build a 2/1 house in 3 months by myself, probably in mid March. Can I pay you to build? You are amazing. Working alone. No mistakes, if so? Learning experience. Bravo and keep on chop chop choping :) you're a machine
My oldest son is in his early 20's and he has type 1 diabetes. But thank God for this piece of article ruclips.net/user/postUgkxibD_L3sDyYENL5CwePCd9plRBqjzw2mw At first he thought he had the flu and was lying down on the bed for three days until his sister took him to the hospital. They took his blood and it was 600. What I do not understand is how he could have gotten it, since no one in the family has it. But he is winning the battle now. This is a good stuff.
Canada can be a different animal eh. Snow is fuqing heavy.. and moisture expansion is a pain in the ass :). i hear Termites r a thing down ther,, dat true?
Man I would pay you 100 bucks a day if I can just watch you and learn. You have a talent. My dream is to build a little 1200 sqft ranch. I know the basics but your advanced
Excellent work. I frame and do form carpentry also and will be putting out videos soon on how I build. Great videos my man keep on bringing them, God bless.
Ok, I’m a combat vet, I skydive, scuba, hit the gym on a regular basis, fight train and Jiu-Jitsu, firearm expert, etc, etc... I’m not saying this to brag - I just want to make a point. I framed on Cape Cod during the winter for about ONE month. It was the most physically demanding and dangerous thing that I’ve ever done. On a daily basis I was balancing on icy framing 2 or 3 stories above the ground while holding as much as 150lbs of yet to be attached roof joists and other awkward and cumbersome lumber that seemed to always be trying to leverage me off my feet and to the ground below. After a month of doing this contractor’s dirty work with no help from machinery I was like FUUUCK this! Framing is no joke, that’s some serious work and I’m not trying to work THAT hard ...I mean it’s like work married a marathon or something ...and I was doing it in winter which is bad enough when I couldn’t feel my fingers holding onto the only hint of handle keeping me from falling 3 stories onto a driveway, I could only imagine what it’s like framing in the middle of summer without an ant’s ass of shade to be found anywhere ...yeah, no thanks!
My first summer out of high school I framed. I had two falls, one when I put my foot on a sheet rock block to nail in a pony wall and the block of course gave lose as it was meant only for a place to nail sheet rock. I fell flat on my back about 14 feet to the plywood deck. I was lucky I did not hit a saw horse or wall brace. The second fall was when, right after lunch, I headed up a flight of stars that collapsed just as I was about to reach the second floor. It had only two sinkers toe nailed in, one each side. That was 46 years ago. Built a couple of sheds since then but way to old to walk plate anymore...
Crazy Framer- I see those 2x6 UP or DOWN (or both) and you stated that we'd see what those are for ... however I guess I musta missed it ... what do those Ls and Us do? Provide a surface for drywall to be attached, say in a corner where a wall joins another wall, or ... what? Thanks
Great video, lots of good tips. Will you be doing a video of how to square off the walls from the foundation up, that would be interesting to see your method. Enjoy your beer and keep safe.
Man that makes me nervous when you’re standing that wall. How many have you lost over the side when a gust of wind catches it? Awesome job, love this channel!
didnt mention anything about crowning your studs. also what are those L for facing the outside on the ends and in the middle.i understand the ones facing down but theres three up
You guys are such nerds being nerdy. Like babies needing attention who gives a shit. I proud him on jumping around on that dam roof! Man thats nuts lol
@@pydepiperproductionsllcjon7585 we all jump on roofs, their is good reason to grade and crown all your lumber. He is building in fast calgary, houses go up quick and look like shit (to a trained eye). He is a great framer but he would need to refine a few things before he builds high end homes.
GOD DAMN BRO!! Your name suits you! You are a great framer, you should be a foreman running a crew and showing these young bucks what’s what!! YOU ROCK CRAZY FRAMER!! Enjoy the beer! 👍😎🌵
In ny we build the walls differently we nail all three plates tg 1st plate nailed down to the subfloor 2nd plate only tacked on to 1st plate and then 3rd plate nailed down to second plate
Question: how did you secure wall end, to stay in a correct line, not to go over the edge?? I did not see you putting any 2by4's, or any block/nails there, on the edge?? What keeps the wall to to fall?? Just wondering????/
@@Eeropolvasti he toe nailed the bottom plate to the floor, on the chalk line, to keep it straight and stop it from sliding off the floor during lifting

I cannot imagine your life without a nail gun. Amazing stuff, I binge watched your first series on house build.
Simon, where is this house build series? Can you please share a link?
In this channel, Jason (I think that's his name) has 11 videos marked with episode number. Definitely worth spending the time.
It's called how to build a house alone. Episodes 1-11
I hope you like it
Every wall...go to drink beer.....Don't drink to much when you are working.........
Good job and excellent video. Thank you for show your skills.
you deserve that beer man nicely done.
He deserves a raise
@@KDD8 And a trip to Las Vegas!
A tekila is better👍
Incredible, amazingly talented,hard working young man. There not paying him enough, I'll bet!💵💵
12:39 "But you know my channel has nothing to do with being safe..." pls don't die
I been framing for almost 30 years down south in the state no snow. Never tried to frame by myself. Great job!!!
Canada can be a different animal eh. Snow is fuqing heavy.. and moisture expansion is a pain in the ass :). i hear Termites r a thing down ther,, dat true?
Excellent! You guys don’t get the respect you deserve. Not to mention your doing the work of 5 guys. Thanks for making the world go round man...
Nice man. I appreciate humans like u man. Dope asf. So precise and orderd. Everything marked, structured and lined. Bro. Nice
You truly live up to your name. Nice work, thanks for sharing
Sooo funny 😄 “ my channel has nothing to do with being safe” “ My jacks a little broke” OMG so funny 😂 ABSOLUTELY the best video EVER on Utube !! 🔨🌼
i love to work alone glad I found your channel you inspire me.
Thanks for actually explaining how to position the studs because me being from Europe we build brick houses so it isn't really common sense
Another excellent piece of work man. Have a couple of beers not one. You deserve it.
You are one crazy framer love the videos will be uploading framing videos too.
Man I would pay you 100 bucks a day if I can just watch you and learn. You have a talent. My dream is to build a little 1200 sqft ranch. I know the basics but your advanced
Your workflow is crazy!
Dude as a first year apprentice carpenter I have to say I fuckin love watching your videos, absolutely sick, would work with you any day, cheers!
I'm in awe. I can barely build a shed. With friends to help.
Man you're good! That is nerve racking as hell i would accidentally drop that wall over the edge! Lol amazing work!
framing beast I knew a guy like you back then
You're a madman. Love watching guys like you for the simple yet genius little tips.
you said you'd show us how to frame a window in a different video... looking forward to it, thank you a ton!
Nice to see some one that can frame a wall as fast as I can 😁👍
Far out I hope I get some one like you as my boss when I start my apprenticeship.
How fast you finish your beer ? :) I’m a big fan of your working style... watching your videos is pure satisfaction.
Never seen a wall built this way, love this idea, will try next time
How the hell do you do it??
Maybe by matching the stud crowns first?
Man your are amazing great way to post the videos on the job size as your working your teaching us thaks at lot
Excellent work. I frame and do form carpentry also and will be putting out videos soon on how I build. Great videos my man keep on bringing them, God bless.
Where do you work friend? very good videos

Michael Devito try roofing....
I was a career firefighter, 25 years...I did my damnedest to stay off the roof, clumsy as hell. These kind of guys impress me beyond belief...

Guessing you were not a combat arms MOS. Framing is easy AF compared to a day in the life of an 11B.
I love your videos bro

9:00..I was sure we're going to fall together. ..crazy 😜
Great video, lots of good tips.
Will you be doing a video of how to square off the walls from the foundation up, that would be interesting to see your method.
Enjoy your beer and keep safe.
Peter Kiernan eventually. I’ll make videos on every part of framing a house.
Cool vid bro, I'm gonna try onsite tomorrow, 1st year apprentice, my boss well be impressed, can't wait.
union?
that was narly man, freaking BEAST...
Will we get to see the build continue to electrical wiring and plumbing and insulation?
You smashed my mind men!!!
I love your vids. Keep up the great work 👊
You are the number one . Man
Thank you
Gave those wall jacks everything they could handle. Time to have a beer.
Love this dude. Don’t get dead.
Could you explain why Tyvek is so short? Not on full OSB or Densglass area. It works like rain gutter?
Man that makes me nervous when you’re standing that wall. How many have you lost over the side when a gust of wind catches it? Awesome job, love this channel!
HOLY FACK, got wall jacks and everything awesome sheit dude
didnt mention anything about crowning your studs. also what are those L for facing the outside on the ends and in the middle.i understand the ones facing down but theres three up
That is amazing building a wall that long...Have you ever lost one over the edge...or had a disaster...
Speechless!!! Great job!!
Excellent work!
Nice job man! Keep it up.
really enjoy what you do great job
Heh, I think your square has seen better days. Sign of a hard worker
Great videos dude! keep them coming
MR.SUPER FRAMER.
WHAT TOOLS YOU USE
..
WHAT KIND OF FRAMING SAW
AND
WHAT TYPE OF BLADES YOU RECOMEND
What is the purpose of the vertical 2x6” L’s and what are there spacings? You made it a point to note them but didn’t mention their purpose. Thanks
fckurvtc they’re for the partition walls to connect to, and to also still have enough wood to screw drywall into. Hope that helps
time to have a beer! lol, love your videos.
Do you crown your studs?
Do you put your toenail hinges into the joists?
Must have nice straight lumber in Canada... here we have to crown every stud
Have you ever tried to use a Worm Drive circular saw instead of the sidewinder?
Does anybody make a cordless worm drive?
yes. www.amazon.com/DEWALT-DCS577B-FLEXVOLT-Drive-Baretool/dp/B0753QHKW7/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1540346875&sr=8-2&keywords=dewalt+60v+worm+drive
@@theTealStory that's not a worm drive that is a rear handle, worm drive style. Mikita has one too, personally the mikita is way better
Are your studs cut to length from the supplier? Over here a 2.4m is around 2.5 and you have to cut your own, which sucks.
Watching you lift that wall was making my stomach turn lol hats of to ya tho!
been waiting a while for this video its good to see you still making videos and keep up the good work and the videos rolling out
I am speechless.....Good fucking work bro!!!!!!!! Keep the content coming!!!!
You don't crown your lumber?
Thats what i was going say! Definitely crown you studs! And make sure your end studs are fairly straight.
I do
john d I do

Does that Dense Board qualify as wind bracing?

what a lovely job
In ny we build the walls differently we nail all three plates tg 1st plate nailed down to the subfloor 2nd plate only tacked on to 1st plate and then 3rd plate nailed down to second plate
Why?
Your a beast dude! Enjoy your beer! Just wonderin why you have the 2x6 up.and down on your corners? We just do 1 down on the crn where im from.
Cody Milne it's to give the siders more backing for their corner piece. They don't like nailing into the dens glass .
omg, you are really crazy man! Good job man!
Damn, how long is that tape?
Probably a 40'er
Exactly what I thought. LMAO
You are a one man crew.
i noticed in a few of your other videos you have a red porter cable compressor is that what you run your framing gun with thanks
Keagan MacKinnon I used to run them with that but it died. Now I have a bigger dewalt compressor.
Where u located at man looks like there's a lot of framing work there
Good job 👷
Love it, that’s how it’s done!
I assume you do not raise walls alone when it is windy. :-) Love the trick for lifting the wall to get a block under it. You work smart!
@thecrazyframer what kind/size air compressor do you have on the jobsite?
Amazing these very primitive building methods !
:D what happens to all the nails you put in the bottom plate? Do they pull out when you raise the wall?
Watching to frame a whole house, by yourself was amazing. When i drive by a construction site and see five guys framing a home i think puZZies LOL
don't call framer pussies if your not a framer. I bet you will not last a day in framing . lol pussie
David Epina calm down you fucking idiot
Here in the uk health and safety guy would be shitting bricks with you have no guard rail around that floor!
What's the paper strip for?
No stud crowning?
Do you crown the studs?
Do you toe nail the studs
Pro Status, get it done bro my best days framing are alone LOL
Question: how did you secure wall end, to stay in a correct line, not to go over the edge?? I did not see you putting any 2by4's, or any block/nails there, on the edge?? What keeps the wall to to fall?? Just wondering????/
The only thing holding the wall was me with the 2x6 brace. I wouldn’t try that on a windy day!
Did you put a stop upright on outside wall, coming up?? I sure did not see it??=)..and are you in Canada??
@@Eeropolvasti he toe nailed the bottom plate to the floor, on the chalk line, to keep it straight and stop it from sliding off the floor during lifting
What kind of nail gun do you have
Which aircompressor do you use?
You really know your stuff but, I have to ask, what’s the death rate like in your industry? I’m guessing it’s quite high!
Dude. You’re right. You’re crazy!
Holy crud man that was freaking nice
What kind of nail g I n do you have
What is that sheeting? Just OSB with somebody's logo smeared all over it, or some kind of insulating material?
NM, answered my own question.
@@Legman688 It's called Dense Glass, similar to gypsum board,but has fiberglass in it. Its fire and mold resistant
