    Literally just built a 24 square garage using Shannon’s videos. Had the building inspector ask me who built it as the quality was of professional grade. Take every piece of advice Shannon gives, it’s worth it to take the time.

      1:54. So many foremen and journeymen over complicate. They won't teach you the most efficient way because they don't want you to then do the job better. They don't want people after their job. Residential construction is usually straight forward, and shouldn't be that hard to teach. You're working with wood too, so it's not like you're drilling into metal studs with tech screws. And wood is easier to saw.

      @Lawless187indika 4 года назад +1

      Thanks guys feel lil smarter that i knew that, but really feel slow where something possibly flew over my head. He mentions that, to get the stud height(to be able to cut all studs one time ) you measure the height of the wall then add the thicknes of 3 plates (1 1/2 x 3 = 4/12 inches) and subract that amount from the measured height, to get stud height. This confused me, because if the stud fits between 2 plates why are we subtracting 3.
      So in my mind its like this, if i have a wall i measured 100 inches, i am making a frame to fit that,frame height is 100 inches also, now i subtract 4.5 inches from 100 = 95.5.. wouldnt that make the studs too short? . If the stud is to fit between top and bottm plate, shouldnt i be subtracting 1.5(top) +1.5(bottom plate) =3inch for a stud tight fit? .... i dont know if anyobdy follows what im trying to say. thinking i missed something,but keep replaying and still dont see it

    When you are doing the wall lay out, just a tip. You can always nail those 2 2x4’s together flush. Then go 15 1/4 and put a duplex or regular sinker, then attach the tape to that nail. Then go every 16 inches from there.

    Thank you, I love carpentry, construction, etc. I had worked in residential construction 3 years ago. I really wanted to get back into it, but it has been awhile since i have done any of it, and honestly my boss was not a good teacher. He would just tell us to cut this to this length, and then nail it in here. After 3 years in the United States Air Force, i was just hired as a framer, and I start tomorrow. I was really nervous, because it has been a long time, and I only did framing on one job prior. I mostly did work in roofing, siding, HVAC, and plumbing. After watching your video, and taking notes It really helped me connect the dots, and understand the knowledge that goes into the job not just the labor aspect. Which i was really lacking, and it discouraged me alot. I love this work, and I am passionate about it, I will be watching all of your videos, and taking notes. Also, Would you ever do a video on how to do an estimate of a job, and how the beginning process works of receiving the job, reading the blueprints or whatever it takes to figure out what, and how many materials you would need for the job, and when? Your videos are great, just wanted to know if you ever thought of that, or if it would be realistic. I think that would be helpfull to many, and popular video. Thanks, god bless.

    I seldom rate these vids, and mostly acute criticism when I do. This vid cleared up several issues. It was the first of this gentleman's I'd watched but won't be the last. Kudos to Shannon for teaching an old dawg some new tricks.

    Shannon, keep up the great vids. I'm a new home owner and learning a lot from you. I like the shed project too. Do more projects from start to finish. Helps me understand the right order to complete projects.

    Great video of basic wood stud wall framing!!! The proper use of wall tie down is something that I am interested in also.

    Good video Shannon. Clear and concise but also a friendly touch. Much better than the mass produced crap that plugs a million products. Keep up the good work.

    Thanks so much for your videos. They are like having a great trainer by my side. I like the way you explain why you are doing something a particular way and discuss other options. You point out short cuts and improvements that give me confidence to tackle projects I would otherwise avoid.

    Great video. There were a few questions that people had but he does a great job. One question was about how you should be anchoring the wall to the floor. The answer depends on the surface you are building on. For concrete you would use a tool called a ramset that fires a nail into the concrete. If the wall is load bearing you may use a rotohammer to drill holes for threaded dowel anchors. Also for me it is a standard practice to use pressure treated lumber for ALL bottom plates to avoid future dry rot

    • @robertbreithaupt470
      @robertbreithaupt470 10 лет назад

      ok there is a couple ways drill holes and use the blue tapcon screws or put construction adhesive and eirther use cut nails (concrete) or use an 22 calib ram set to shoot the nails in

    Thanks for filming this video. This is very helping in the finer details of framing a wall and attaching to a corner wall as well. This will help in building a walk in closet for a room in our home. Very appreciative.
