The silly sill is to keep bugs out thats why you only use it on exterior walls that touch concrete there gonna give you hell for using it inside just a heads up great video 👍 thanks
That place is already taking shape. Very nice work. Can we talk about the sweatshirt in the first half ah pretty sweet. Keep up the great work and always Bang on Brother!🤘
Dias06 his fam might have a framing company and if you parents sign some forms, there are ways you can be on the site under 18. My buddy is 15 and does homeschool so he has a lot of time to work tile w his brother
Since you asked, the gasket helps with a few things but only on exterior walls. 1. Air infiltration due to pressure differences between inside and outside and wind. Particularly when the temperature outside is drastically different than inside. And will have less benefit in milder climates. 2. Bugs. 3. Moisture wicking into the wood maybe in damp climates.
I am a GC in Arizona and Nevada and we use “seal gaskets” or caulking or whatever on the sole plate to create a seal to prevent bugs from crawling between the plate and the concrete. You would be surprised at how a bug can work its way into the walls and house via that route. I’ve seen videos of bugs crawling through small crevices in that part of the wall. BTW good videos Matt. You’re a producer/director/actor in the making...
I loved your how toos and tricks videos but I must say loving this build series. The production quality has gone up and your hard work shows. Keep it up
MBW... Glad to see Fox and Jay back on the scene, I hope to see the whole build series to the end. Keep up the great video content and awesome quality work for your client.
The foam seal is for air infiltration, and helps to fill variances between the framing lumber and the concrete and helps to reduce air leakage between the sill and the concrete. There are also more advanced rubber EPDM gaskets that respond well to shrinkage and swelling even after decades of compression. In as such, it is only required on exterior walls.
Sill gasket is just that... a gasket... we use it here in MI to stop air coming in from the outside under the sill board... never heard of it being used on interior walls..... keep up the GREAT work!! Love your videos!!
Sill gasket is way easier to put on top of the foundation wall. Just roll it out backwards(so it doesn't curl up) and stab it over the anchor bolts. No need to tack it to the bottom plate of the wall.
Sill sealer is only used here on steam walls not on flat work. Its not meant for a moisture barrier but an air barrier. Stem walls are far from flat, while pretty flat, they have ups and downs that can sometimes cause small gaps between the treated plate and the wall. The sill sealer (gasket if you will) comes in many varieties, foam being the most popular, and it takes up those gaps and helps to add another layer of air penetration protection. Also works well for most bugs if a rat guard is not used under the sill plate.
Glad you guys are wearing hard hats. When framing years ago we had to buy the crew a case of beer if we dropped a hammer from the second story. We had to wear hard hats years ago.
I would love to just spend one day framing with you. I've framed a ton of places but I've only worked in Michigan. And the way we build is way different ok maybe not way different but still enough. I have picked up a few tips from you that I plan on using on my next job.
I always like to see how things are done differently around the country. We use sill seal and a pressure treated sill plate bolted to the Fondation then the bottom plate of wall is nailed to the sill plate. Pressure treated is used against all concrete. Then again homes aren't built on concrete slabs either.
I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable standing under the wall while it's being lifted. What's the capacity of those straps? I'm really enjoying this series.
I’m just curious to know... since you said the owners are also watching this serious. Did they contact you for the job since they been watching your channel ?
Hello Matt, I live in Ireland - never touched a piece of wood before this lockdown. I am about to plan a Garden room ( wood-framed - might sound like a silly question - I would really appreciate you sharing with me t.he width and thickness of the wood you were using in this for the walls as well as an equal suitable size for a base. Thank you - loved watching this and I am lerning so much. Thanks.
6:07 iv seen so called experienced carpenters skip the blocking and claim that the stregnth comes from the board. as an engineer iv seen things that would surprise you about poorly built structures, mother nature is a savage beast. rule number one reinforce as much as you can even if it blows up your budget.
Are all houses in the USA built with some wood and some nails ?? In Europe everything is out of concrete and bricks , wood we use for a shed or gardenhouse , nice job though
I’m just a RUclips student, but.... my understanding is that sill gasket is used to create a capillary break between the concrete and the wood. It “helps” with air sealing and water sealing but that is not what it is designed for. Concrete will always draw water out of the ground so the SG is to keep that sill from getting moist.
IMO Matt was nice enough not to tell critics to f-off quite frankly. Sill gasket is just a touch that makes the home owner feel good and tosses an extra couple of bucks over to dupont or whoever makes this thing, but its utterly useless otherwise and will disintegrate in a couple of years down the road. It may in fact be counterproductive by not letting the house breathe more 'organically'. I cracked open 100yo places and never seen rotten sill as a result of contact with foundation and with pressure treated sill? Fudgetabouit!
@@David-gld are you a dupont rep? Everybody understands what that is for. In practice pressure treated sill voids the issue entirely. So that sill gasket becomes BS.
@@bpdp379 Thomas Leisman is like my former boss. He did that shit all the time. Repeated what I had just said with, at best, slightly different words so he could tell himself he was the one that had the idea. LOL
I am enjoying the build as usual and I have 2 simple questions. What is the second pencil mark you mark when you measure. You make a mark and then seem to flick the pencil to the side. Secondly, I notice the level sitting on the slab. Is that used during the build for any purpose?
Spreads weight out on the plate and sink the SDS through plates into studs. When we choke strap, the slightest bounce would bust plates loose from studs! It’s happened before.
Hey dude, your framing is really good to watch and Fox is quality. Interesting with the seals but I suppose if your paying that much why not! Can I quite my job in the UK and come work for Panella plz lol 👊🏼
Here's something I've been wondering for a while: With your construction company, what is the arrangement with Fox and the others? I'm assuming they're not employees, and are freelance or contracted for a project or certain duration? Are they responsible for having their own set of tools? As the business owner, how do you reconcile "your tools" vs. "their tools" at the end of the day/job?
Bro you gotta check out Matt Risingers channel. He has a bunch of great videos on framing. He’s a GC but has some great building science stuff on framing. It will def take your framing to the next level. Never stop growing!
Not a fan of Risinger. He talks like he knows everything and he most definitely doesn't, do any of us? I've seen lots of mistakes he makes but he talks with such confidence, so everyone believes him, that's the worse sort of person you should learn from. At least Matt admits when he screws up, which we all do.
Is it? Well.. I put it on all interiors. If it’s used for what I was told it’s used for, a barrier in between concrete and plate, it’s doing something. If not, I’m not screwed! 😂
Yeah I guess its won't be a bad thing on interiors. It is used as a barrier between the bottom and concrete. But it is also an air sealant at the same time that's why it is used on exteriors
MattBangsWood you are on the right track. Concrete touching wood is a recipe for rot eventually. There has to be a break between them or rot will eventually begin. Fence posts and pole barns are perfect examples. May not be this year, ten years, or fifty but it will happen.
Hey Matt ... what am I missing here. How are you guys going to install the sill gasket on the exterior walls you already have standing ? You going to go back and lift them ? Here in the Central Valley, CA we been installing that stuff for years. Great vids - great crew , really enjoy the channel ...
Hey matt . I like your videos keep on posting they're are helpful. I have a question if you can help me decide i want to go cordless for circular saw and notice that you went back to using the makita .. which 1 you recommend makita or skilsaw for cordless.? Ill truly appreciate it if you can help me out with this decision
Great stuff as always, Matt. Do you have anyone in the SF Bay Area you can refer me to that does your type of work? Anyone for foundation pouring as well? I’m a GC looking for the best.
i know it’s not sunny where they are but in most of california it’s hot as fuck and guys wear light colored long sleeves to keep the sun off their skin and it keeps us cooler surprisingly
What makes a house a "multi-million dollar house"? Is it just cost of materials + cost of land + cost of contractors (labor), or is there more to it than that?
MattBangsWood don’t forget square footage of house and it’s also traditionally cut roof. More expensive materials and different height walls and other details can add up
MattBangsWood yeah, it just occurred to me that the only benchmark I have for this is that homes built by my parents would've been 200-500k range, so that's why I'm trying to understand that a bit more. Looking at this home, so far it doesn't seem that complex, sure it has a unique layout, but I'm probably missing something.
We do if we’re jackhammering, or doing other tasks that are truly too loud. You’d be surprised how many accidents happen because people can’t hear what’s going on around them. It takes one time of not hearing what someone said for all to go south.

Awsome!
Is there a reason you screw that angle iron into the top plate? Why not Choke the strap around it? Just to spread the weight out?
