13:18 Well, I don't know about that? My brother and dad, who both built things with wood, one did cabinetry and the other built homes. Both told me that nails are stronger and last longer because the nail wedges into the wood, while screws bore into the wood, creating a stronger joint, so to speak. Plus nails have a higher tensile stength and just bend and screw break and sheer off. I learned that from working in the fastener field of aerospace for a couple decades,
Screws can take tension loads as they have positive engagement, nails must be installed in shear as they are only held by friction. That is why deck boards are now required to be screwed down and not nailed.
Bricks are not always a desirable material for building houses in the USA. If the house is in a tornado area, it simply provides the vortex with more heavy objects to throw around that will damage and kill. Brick buildings do not stand up to tornadoes as many people think they do. In fact, they fall apart and crumble, leaving lethal weapons behind.
Brick, block stone and concrete do not like earthquakes, whereas wood and steel will flex and give. (Yes, if the quake is hard enough, nothing is going to survived undamaged, but the wood and steel structures will do better than the other materials. Also, wood costs less, and is easier and more cost effective to build with.
California is the most populated state with 39 mil people. Earthquake faults crisscross the entire western 1/3 of the country. Bricks, Concrete & stone are the worst possible material for earthquakes. So much so it's impossible to get a permit to build with it out here in the West. Wood or steel is the only framing you find post 1906 San Francisco earthquake.
For more information on home construction in US and Canada there are two shows to follow. These shows go into detail on how to build houses. The shows names are in the US is This Old House which is the first how to show to show do it yourselfers (diy) on how to work on their own homes. When this show first aired it was looked down upon from the builder industry, causing a fear in losing contracts for the contractors, but the opposite happened. The show gave a basic knowledge on what it takes to build or remodel a house so that new home owners along with remodelers to be able to talk to contractors to make intelligent decisions. In Canada Holmes on Holmes is another show that basically covers homes that have been remodeled by bad remodelers contractors. What it takes to correct the mistakes caused by these contractors. It covers all areas such as not getting proper permits, plumbing, heating and cooling, structural, and abandonments of jobs.
LOL ! They would be more educated watching '' Holmes on Homes '' ( Mike Holmes) than that This Old House which only shows how to repair things , not so much on Construction of Homes !!!!
@ You’re thinking of Ask This Old House which concentrate’s on home repairs. This Old House goes into detail on the construction over a period of several months where Holmes on Homes does his in one episode. Mike Holmes concentrates on what can happen when poor contractors, and the importance of getting home inspections before purchasing a home. In my opinion Holmes on Homes shows his expertise on construction. Mike makes the home owner whole again. His message is buyer beware. Both shows show equal standing in my opinion.
A house like this will withstand gale-force winds, so thinking it'll blow over easily is false. Any wall by itself will fall over easily, but they all support one another. The studs support vertically, and the plywood sheathing supports laterally (horizontally). This house didn't have a plastic vapor barrier wrapped around it, which adds more insulation by keeping wind out and also bugs.
I watched a very interesting 19 minute video from "Faris and Lisa". Time lapse of 12 months building a house in Michigan. From the ground up to tiling kitchens and bathrooms. She narrates and they list the price of each step. From $19,000 to pour concrete in the basement floor, to $31,000 for the exterior windows. Itemized costs also listed at the very end of the video.
Wood is actually a pretty good building material. It stands up to Earthquakes better than most other material, except for steel. Why? Well, wood can give (flex) just enough that it prevents it from collapsing. And it obviously doesn't crack or crumble like brick, stone, or any mud-like substance would. Bricks are onky used as decorative purposes in the US. What i mean by that is that you build your wooden framed house like this video shows, and then on the outside, or whereever on the inside, say like for a fireplace or something to that effect, you lay your brick along the wooden wall for just appearance. They serve no structural purpose. And yeah, we use dally treated wood in our contruction to keep termites from eating it. Treated wood has been a thing now for about 70 years or so. I think the practice was first introduced in either the 1950s or 60s.
We had our house built in 2015, took them 5 months total. We were in NY at the time and the house was in Minnesota. I watched it built virtually through my Sister in Law's pictures. LOL.
The nails aren't holding the home up. They just keep things from wiggling around. Because the wood is newly cut and still soft, the nails will stay put as the wood hardens and grip them ever tighter as the wood dries out and ages.
@@firefighterchickDepends on building codes and on what is being joined together and where the joins are. In some places in the US staples are used, in others nails are far more common. A lot of houses use a combination of the two. Plus bolts (for joining to foundations) and sometimes screws for critical corners. My father was a carpenter (by trade) for over 40 years and built a lot of the outbuildings on our farm with my brother and I helping as much as we could as kids. I saw him go from a simple hand held claw hammer to a gas cartridge bolt gun and so many other devices during his life and work. It’s a very interesting history of how/what/when different joint techniques have been used. We had an old house down the road from us that was over 100 years old. When it was torn down after years of being empty they had no problem with any of it until the last two walls. They thought - because it was very rickety - a tow line on a truck would pull it down. It did not. After several hours and two trucks tied to one wall, two trackers tied to the other wall they finally had to use a power saw and cut through the two wooden pins that held the corner joint of those walls together. Once that was done the walls came down no problem. But those two simple wooden pins held through all the pulling and stress. It was amazing.
You do realize that wood expands and contracts with all weather. I have made more things out of wood than most people- 35 years of custom woodworking/cabinet making. Actually what holds wood together is Glue, Nails are just used until the glue sets. This is why there are tables and chairs, desks from the 1300's that are still together without any sort of fastener, just glue, probably hyde glue. There are some joints, but they are not end butt joints.
@jakeburns6566 I'm a huge fan of real wood products like antique furniture, cabinets, and custom modern wood work. That's true craftsmanship. Wood can be very durable and long-lasting. It's the modern version that barely passes for wood, especially in structures that I'm not a fan of.
I believe this is an addition to the home it's attached to as they mentioned at the start of the video. In Southern California, where I believe this was filmed, we are prone to earthquakes, therefore, brick is unsafe and crumbles. You don't have the volume of lumber we do, therefore, it's not cost-effective for you to build with wood. We have a huge amount of brick homes in the U S.,but it's more expensive, and takes longer to build, and lacks a modern look. Therefore, it's found in older cities and states here. Additionally, Americans prefer to update floorplans and amenities, and wood allows us to do it by moving/removing interior walls. It is much more cumbersome and expensive for UK homes to be modernized. With the much larger homes and immensely bigger population of the U.S., keeping up with demand for new builds is already nearly impossible..and certainly would be with brick. We also redevelop old neighborhoods, and therefore keeping an original dwelling for over 100 years isn't an issue.
I'll agree with your assessment of this being Southern CA. At the least, it's not an area that's expecting snowfall. The roof slopes on nearby buildings are all fairly flat.
pmce the foundation is completed, you can figure a week for framing, week for roof and doors and windows yjrn the structure is weathered in. then you can overlap traides, hvac plumbing, electric's ruff in, siding , insulation, drywall, final fit out, if timed right start to finish three to six months.
I’ve seen the Amish frame up a house in one day here in central Illinois. They started working at sunup and worked til sunset but they built it from the ground up and had the roof on by that night. They had about 20-30 guys there working all day but it was impressive. Took them another couple days to finish the inside and outer finishing. We live in a 2 story wood frame house in what’s called Tornado Alley as we have more tornadoes here than other places in central Illinois but our wood frame house has stood for 125 years through some wicked storms and tornadoes. The wood in our house frame is like rock, it is like petrified wood after all these years. You can’t hardly hammer a nail into it. I think that’s why it’s so sturdy. Not to mention the lathe boards on the inside walls of the house, makes it nice and tight. We use a lot of wood here as we have a lot of wood available to us here in the USA. You guys across the pond don’t have the forests we do and therefore don’t have the wood available to frame your houses in wood so brick is your only real option. That’s why we use so much lumber here, we have it to spare.
I think it depends on what kind of house one is building. The wood frame is just that -a frame. If one is building a cheap apartment building, they use that crappy particle board. But a nicer house will have brick or stone. Some people even use bales of compressed hay. I've lived in those cheap apartments. I grew up in a brick house. There's a difference. But it's all pretty amazing.❤ Thanks BPs! Edit - i find log cabins the most fascinating ❤
Unfortunately, even 'nice' homes that are 500,000 and up and the cheap materials you mentioned. At least in Pennsylvania brick or stones are nonexistent outside of the older homes.
@firefighterchick yes true. I grew up in PA. We had an old brick home. It was great. And i had relatives that were bricklayers. That was in the 60's. Nowadays everyone wants to cut corners and save money. It stinks. The artistry is gone.
Right now, i live in an adobe brick house built in the 50's. I love the organic feel, but damn they did a crap job! There's no insulation, and many cracks. Adobe in its many forms needs maintenance. I guess everything does. Edit - to be fair, a lot of people here who have been here for a long time tell me that the climate was not as harsh as it is now. I get anxiety when i hear that. Climate change is real, at least here in Arizona.
Nails vs screws. You can take a nail and wrap it into a knot - you can't do that with a screw. That means with any type of shifting (high winds, ground settling, etc), a nail might bend a bit, but a screw will shear off leaving an opening.
Been doing construction all my life, 30+ years. All across the US. Yes, we use wood studs. But, there are a lot of areas that are moving to metal studs. I did work for a contractor in Oklahoma and that is all he would use. They are actually cheaper in the long run when you consider the screws used on metal studs are half the price of nails for a nail gun, easier to transport, and you don't need a table saw or a compressor. The drawback is it takes longer to cut if you need a certain size. 3:20 Not sure what you called them, but in the U.S., those are fire breaks. The are meant to keep flames from going up the wall and are not required in all areas. In the U.S., you can tell if a house is going to be two-story by the truss used. 4:10 These are called "silent trusses". You use them to separate floors. They are a lot cheaper than using a 2x8 or 2x10. They also do a better job of absorbing the noise of people walking. The problem with them is you can only cut holes for duct work on the ends or they lose their integrity. You hardly ever see a new home in the U.S. use brick except for maybe the bottom 18", called a "brick ledge". They use them in areas prone to termites. A buffer between the wood and the termites so you don't have to have your house treated regularly. Otherwise, the outside is usually either vinyl over wood or foam sheathing or a type of plaster called stucco. 10:05 Yeah, ummm, don't let OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) see you doing that without a safety harness or scaffold. Its a pretty hefty fine.
Metal studs are also required additional measures if they are in a wall that needs to be insulated. They are good for commercial applications but I would not want them in a house. Yes, OSHA would be handing out a bunch of fines, but their inspection of individual house construction (not a large development), is at best spotty and I know multiple people in the home construction industry that have been at it for decades and have never seen an OSHA inspector.
A wooden house can last as long as the roof does. Maintaining the roof and fixing any leaks right away is key. I've read that our houses take more maintenance in general than UK houses. For example, you don't have to replace an expensive furnace, repaint as often, etc. However, most Americans find they want new construction before a house gets as old as many British and European houses. We want all the new building codes and design features.
My home is a log home. I live on 33 acres of trees. We cleared a lot of trees early in our history, to build and to make farms, and now we act more sustainably, with major wood companies doing re-seeding and forest management.
1 day, small addition to an existing home. Looks like it's possibly somewhere in Cali. (Also, CA would explain the 'quake straps he was nailing on the corner. I would have used Simpson hangers and ties throughout the addition's structure, as well.)
I actually think that was one day's worth of work there. We had a metal pole barn built in our back yard back in 1985, dimensions were 24 ft × 48 ft, i believe, and the construction crew had the entire frame up in a day. And that included 8" × 8" poles for the structural poles. Then 2" × 12" for the side beams every so often along the where they'd attach the metal skin later. Construction with wood is fast. In fact, there's an ad running in my RUclips feeds right now sboutvan upcoming episode of a House Make-over show where they build an entire multistory house in 4 days. And I'll tell you what, the fastest and mkst efficient construction crews are the Amish or Mennonites. They're carpenters by trade, for the most part, and they can build stuff pretty damn quick. Even in commercial construction, crews can build a new Fast Food joint in a matter of days once they get the foundation built. That part takes a little longer as they gotta lay plumbing and all that kind of stuff within a concrete base. But once all that's done, the frame and roof can go up within a day or two. But yeah, having to lay brick for anything takes a long time. When building concrete block crawl space or basement walls, that takes time, because you gotta put down all the plaster or grit to get the blocks to stick together.
Wood can be treated to protect from things like termites. Wooden houses can last centuries, as well. We have a lot of it, and it can also stand up better to storms, quakes and even be a better choice in areas with tornados (what would you rather collapse, a wooden structure or tons of bricks - the tornado can and will tear through both).
Just an FYI, nails provide shear strength in American houses. The only determinate for shear strength (most framing nails are made from the same material) is nail diameter. Therefore it doesn’t matter if it’s screwed or nailed, as long as the screw/nail meets the shear strength requirement. We use nails/nail guns for framing for speed. We use wood for 99% of residential construction here because it’s widely abundant, easy to work with, makes it easy to make future changes, and is a renewable resource. Would framing is also easy to insulate and make energy efficient. Those are the primary reasons it has always been used in this country since the pilgrims arrived over 400 years ago. There are a few homes that were built by early settlers out east that are over 300 years old. Back then, post and beam construction (timber framing) was used. Today we “stick build” homes because it’s faster, requires less resources, and requires less skill and specialized tools. The Amish in this country still timber frame barns and can raise a frame in a day.
Hey Guys , It Just Depends On Where You are Building It ! Different Parts Of The Country Have Different Standards On Building Houses !!!!! Like In The South in Hurricane States Area have Different Standards!!! Like The First Floor Has To Be Concrete Block House then 2nd Can Be Wood Frame !!!!
Wood in the US is basically "farmed" by replanting seedlings after harvested timber. Timber farming actually began when a cooperative of logging companies started replanting in Oregon in the 1940s.
This is indeed an add-on to an existing house. You fellows are certainly receiving an education on how much more durable wood is in an environment that is prone to harsher and more volatile climes than Britain, aren't you?
On a somewhat related note, look up the American war on currants. Most Americans don't even know what currants are but nearly everyone in Great Britain does. In a nutshell the white pine (a primary source of wood for our homes) was in danger due to a fungus, white pine blister rust. that somehow relied on currants and gooseberries in part of its life cycle... so we outlawed them to protect our wood source.
the wood thats used on the concrete level is called pressure treated or just treated frames that repels insects being treated with a chemical ....the color is often green to discern its where abouts....
Wood construction homes are plenty strong enough for most weather conditions the home will encounter. Of course, if hit by a tornado or hurricane, all bets are off. The same can be said of stone or brick built homes. I've seen many many videos of tornados that have completely demolished brick homes. Perhaps an extremely substantial home built of thick reinforced concrete could withstand a tornado, but it would have to be built almost like a bunker. And, if it has windows, which you would want to have, they probably won't withstand it. I have seen some homes in South Carolina out by the beach that were converted WWII bunkers. They were built into large earthen berms or sand dunes. They would probably survive the wind. Maybe not the water, if it was pushed up that high. Also, there's other time lapse videos out there where they show entire houses finished from breaking ground to finishing the interior.
America has more trees than in 1900. Very plentiful. We grow trees like crops. Masonry walls crack in an earthquake. Wood structures and metal buildings "flex".
Probably at least 80% of homes in the US are wood framed. In some states like Florida CBS(concrete block and stucco reinforced with rebar)construction is very common as it does much better in hurricane conditions. BP1, the wood is specially treated to avoid the termite issue although there is still a chance of infestation without proper inspections on occasion. There are 'real' wood homes here that are hundreds of years old. They were built with what I refer to as actual lumber. New wood frame construction (early 1980s to now)is no longer made of wood beams carved down from the tree itself. Instead it is made with OSB(oriented strand board)which is sheets of engineered wood pieces compressed together. The metal pieces you saw connected different sections. It's wood staples most likely being used not nails and you're correct it's not nearly as good as you described your own construction project It had significantly less load-bearing capabilities than older wood homes. Under fire conditions very quickly those metal pieces pop off and the structure is prone to complete or significant collapse because of its design and materials that are used. In older wood frame homes you may have a single room have some amount of collapse and it takes a lot longer to have significant damage. In new construction, firefighters can have less than 15 minutes from when the fire starts to spread from the source on average to work on containing/extinguishing the fire or do any rescues before we run a very high chance of being inside when there is a collapse. It's one of the many reasons we teach people to get out of the house(and stay out)as quickly as possible.
Wood construction...LEGO's? And they talk about building their houses out of...Bricks? I guess Legos don't make the same thing I grew up on...and my kids.
We build out of wood because we didn't deforest our continent, like Europe was. We have millions of acres of forest, and Canada has even more. Wood is cheap, but only if you don't have to ship it very far.
We don't have a termite problem here in the US and we have a abundant of woods because we have a lot of trees. We have wooden homes built in the 1800's still in good shape
This looks like it might be in California. And just so you know, bricks/ rocks and earthquakes are a bad combination. Wood is much better option here. (Japan a very earthquake prone country is a good example) In Arizona, NM they build a lot of adobe houses because of the dry climate and it being geological stable. The walls are often 12 inches thick for insulation.
@oldmanjimh3165 they make more sense but the general cost at least currently is much cheaper. Concrete/blocks can withstand storm conditions better, are better insulated for energy efficiency, and block exterior sounds better. Also from a security standpoint better than wood frame.
I get it people think a screw is better than a nail. There is no structural joint in our building code that uses nails used in withdraw, only in shear. A nail will bend where a screw will break over bending cycles. Try bending a screw and nail and see which will fail first. The US is a world of extreme environments, All homes are designed for seismic categories and wind speed forces. Simple brick and mortar will not meet the lowest seismic code . We do build with reinforced CMU "Concrete Massionary Units" aka block, and steel, and other materials. But we have a vastly managed forest; if you have it, use it. Building homes is using materials available in your area.
Where I live, California, we don’t build with brick because of earthquakes. A lot of older homes have a facing layer of brick for looks, but we haven’t built with bricks in the entire US since the 19th century and never in California. Old California buildings were large stone blocks, or adobes during the Mexican era, if they weren’t made of wood. Brick seems brilliant, just not for California. One small earthquake and your house either comes down or is cracked at best.
I would never let a modern contractor build a house for me. They like to argue and debate their bills of material and I am simply not negotiating my requirements. My house is two story 3,000 square foot, four bedroom, 3 bath house with an additional 1,000 square feet of finished living space in the attic and another 1,500 square feet of finish basement and there isn't one shred of plastic, polymer, foam, PVC, PEX, laminate, engineered crap or particle board anywhere in the structure. its all 2x12, 2x6 and .750" plywood underlayment for the floors and 0.500 for the roof, with the entire house on 16" centers. The Bathrooms, mud room, laundry and kitchen are ceramic tile, wile the Hallways, Dining Area, Foyer and Den are Cherry hardwood tongue and grove. The rest is carpeting... living room, family room, bedrooms, stairs and attic. We actually have two stair cases from the 1st to 2nd floor and one is hardwood with hardwood railings. The entire four floors are drywall, with dimmer switches and recessed ring lighting and ceiling fans, 1" window blinds and blackout curtains, central vacuuming, TV cable and ethernet hookups, and a wifi controlled Lennox four ton HVAC and Air filter system. The entire structure is R-21 thermally insulated and acoustic panels for soundproofing each room. Even the crown molding is real wood and none of this plastic crap found in many houses or, they just choose not to use crown molding at all. Did most of the work myself and saved about $140,000 on labor while the finished product only cost me $250,000 in materials and is currently appraised at $850K. Right down the road are three identical looking houses that sold for $1.2 Million and they're all made with "modern" materials and methods and they're drafty, damp, igloo echo chambers, plain Jain windows, doors, cabinetry and bathroom fixtures, cheap laminate flooring everywhere, with little or no personality whatsoever. They're not "homes". They just places to store your stuff and not really live in because they want to preserve the appearance for resale value. I mean, why even buy a home then if it doesn't reflect the owner?
120 psi for 3 1/2" in hot dipped(galvanized) rig shank nails. 2 5/8" 8p sinkers for the floor boards. You are not pulling those nails out without tearing up the wood
California is the most populated state with 39 mil people. Earthquake faults crisscross the entire western 1/3 of the country. Bricks, Concrete & stone are the worst possible material for earthquakes. So much so it's impossible to get a permit to build with it out here in the West.

The U.S. has ALOT of forrests so wood is pretty cheap. As far as I know, once they cut down trees they re-plant new seedlings so there will always be growth Ask a builder to make your house out of bricks and it will be really expensive. Some people use the theory that if they were hit by a hurricane/tornedo they would rather be under wood than bricks. Old homes in this country, alot of them were built with bricks (bricks obviously have less upkeep than wood and can last more than a century)
America puts insulation in our buildings but it's not required in England. Also, mostly stone buildings are more drafty and are susceptible to more mold.
NEVER ! NEVER NEVER put Wood on Concrete with some kind of insulating felt between the concrete and the wood ! If you don't the wood will rot out in a few years !!
Tornadoes will destroy any home and brick homes are that much safer in hurricanes either because water is the biggest killer. Floods cause more deaths than anything else during a hurricanes. Brick homes are death traps in floods. Flood waters rise feet in seconds and you cannot create a hole in a brick wall in seconds. I have lived through tornadoes and about 15 hurricanes in my life is several US states and in Mexico.
Hurricanes tend to wash out the foundation via storm surge, or just flood the place. Tornadoes, on the other hand, just destroy everything. Unless you want to live in a steel reinforced concrete bunker you aren't avoiding damage from a tornado. Brick homes just give tornadoes more projectiles to throw around.

What you are showing is an “addition” to an existing house. So it’s not the entire house. It’s just another room/area they are adding on to an already existing home
Our "wooden" houses last over a hundred years.
My neighbors home was built in 1680.
@@kramermccabe8601 Mine was built in 1820. Edit: remodeled several times.
There are building codes one must following and they will differ depending on what part of the country you are building in.
13:18 Well, I don't know about that? My brother and dad, who both built things with wood, one did cabinetry and the other built homes. Both told me that nails are stronger and last longer because the nail wedges into the wood, while screws bore into the wood, creating a stronger joint, so to speak. Plus nails have a higher tensile stength and just bend and screw break and sheer off. I learned that from working in the fastener field of aerospace for a couple decades,
Screws can take tension loads as they have positive engagement, nails must be installed in shear as they are only held by friction. That is why deck boards are now required to be screwed down and not nailed.
Bricks are not always a desirable material for building houses in the USA. If the house is in a tornado area, it simply provides the vortex with more heavy objects to throw around that will damage and kill. Brick buildings do not stand up to tornadoes as many people think they do. In fact, they fall apart and crumble, leaving lethal weapons behind.
Brick is generally not good for earthquakes either unless you have flexible mortar like the Haiga Sophia
Brick, block stone and concrete do not like earthquakes, whereas wood and steel will flex and give. (Yes, if the quake is hard enough, nothing is going to survived undamaged, but the wood and steel structures will do better than the other materials. Also, wood costs less, and is easier and more cost effective to build with.
They give slightly more protection, but a tornado of significance will still wreck a brick home.

In Canada Holmes on Holmes is another show that basically covers homes that have been remodeled by bad remodelers contractors. What it takes to correct the mistakes caused by these contractors. It covers all areas such as not getting proper permits, plumbing, heating and cooling, structural, and abandonments of jobs.
LOL ! They would be more educated watching '' Holmes on Homes '' ( Mike Holmes) than that This Old House which only shows how to repair things , not so much on Construction of Homes !!!!
@ You’re thinking of Ask This Old House which concentrate’s on home repairs. This Old House goes into detail on the construction over a period of several months where Holmes on Homes does his in one episode. Mike Holmes concentrates on what can happen when poor contractors, and the importance of getting home inspections before purchasing a home. In my opinion Holmes on Homes shows his expertise on construction. Mike makes the home owner whole again. His message is buyer beware. Both shows show equal standing in my opinion.
A house like this will withstand gale-force winds, so thinking it'll blow over easily is false. Any wall by itself will fall over easily, but they all support one another. The studs support vertically, and the plywood sheathing supports laterally (horizontally). This house didn't have a plastic vapor barrier wrapped around it, which adds more insulation by keeping wind out and also bugs.
I watched a very interesting 19 minute video from "Faris and Lisa". Time lapse of 12 months building a house in Michigan.
From the ground up to tiling kitchens and bathrooms. She narrates and they list the price of each step. From $19,000 to pour concrete in the basement floor, to $31,000 for the exterior windows. Itemized costs also listed at the very end of the video.
Wood is actually a pretty good building material. It stands up to Earthquakes better than most other material, except for steel. Why? Well, wood can give (flex) just enough that it prevents it from collapsing. And it obviously doesn't crack or crumble like brick, stone, or any mud-like substance would. Bricks are onky used as decorative purposes in the US. What i mean by that is that you build your wooden framed house like this video shows, and then on the outside, or whereever on the inside, say like for a fireplace or something to that effect, you lay your brick along the wooden wall for just appearance. They serve no structural purpose. And yeah, we use dally treated wood in our contruction to keep termites from eating it. Treated wood has been a thing now for about 70 years or so. I think the practice was first introduced in either the 1950s or 60s.
9:17 Trees are a resource we have a lot of! Out of necessity, you use what you've got. Lumber is a renewable resource that the US has a lot of.
And also Canada, as long as there’s no trade war. 🤦♀️
As others have stated, the wood will be pretreated to resist termites and to also last longer.
Also, not in contact with the soil.
And typically if you are a good homeowner you will contact with an extermination company to do regular pestcontrol witch includes termites.
Guys, they're not building a whole new house here, it's just an extension to an existing house.
We had our house built in 2015, took them 5 months total. We were in NY at the time and the house was in Minnesota. I watched it built virtually through my Sister in Law's pictures. LOL.
The nails aren't holding the home up. They just keep things from wiggling around. Because the wood is newly cut and still soft, the nails will stay put as the wood hardens and grip them ever tighter as the wood dries out and ages.
@Tijuanabill most likely(at least in standard modern wood frame homes they're probably not nails but instead industrial staples.
@@firefighterchick No, they are definitely nails. We built not too long ago and the contractors used a nail gun with nails.
@@firefighterchickDepends on building codes and on what is being joined together and where the joins are. In some places in the US staples are used, in others nails are far more common. A lot of houses use a combination of the two. Plus bolts (for joining to foundations) and sometimes screws for critical corners. My father was a carpenter (by trade) for over 40 years and built a lot of the outbuildings on our farm with my brother and I helping as much as we could as kids. I saw him go from a simple hand held claw hammer to a gas cartridge bolt gun and so many other devices during his life and work. It’s a very interesting history of how/what/when different joint techniques have been used.
We had an old house down the road from us that was over 100 years old. When it was torn down after years of being empty they had no problem with any of it until the last two walls. They thought - because it was very rickety - a tow line on a truck would pull it down. It did not. After several hours and two trucks tied to one wall, two trackers tied to the other wall they finally had to use a power saw and cut through the two wooden pins that held the corner joint of those walls together. Once that was done the walls came down no problem. But those two simple wooden pins held through all the pulling and stress. It was amazing.
You do realize that wood expands and contracts with all weather. I have made more things out of wood than most people- 35 years of custom woodworking/cabinet making. Actually what holds wood together is Glue, Nails are just used until the glue sets. This is why there are tables and chairs, desks from the 1300's that are still together without any sort of fastener, just glue, probably hyde glue. There are some joints, but they are not end butt joints.
@jakeburns6566 I'm a huge fan of real wood products like antique furniture, cabinets, and custom modern wood work. That's true craftsmanship.
Wood can be very durable and long-lasting. It's the modern version that barely passes for wood, especially in structures that I'm not a fan of.
I believe this is an addition to the home it's attached to as they mentioned at the start of the video. In Southern California, where I believe this was filmed, we are prone to earthquakes, therefore, brick is unsafe and crumbles. You don't have the volume of lumber we do, therefore, it's not cost-effective for you to build with wood. We have a huge amount of brick homes in the U S.,but it's more expensive, and takes longer to build, and lacks a modern look. Therefore, it's found in older cities and states here. Additionally, Americans prefer to update floorplans and amenities, and wood allows us to do it by moving/removing interior walls. It is much more cumbersome and expensive for UK homes to be modernized. With the much larger homes and immensely bigger population of the U.S., keeping up with demand for new builds is already nearly impossible..and certainly would be with brick. We also redevelop old neighborhoods, and therefore keeping an original dwelling for over 100 years isn't an issue.
I'll agree with your assessment of this being Southern CA. At the least, it's not an area that's expecting snowfall. The roof slopes on nearby buildings are all fairly flat.
@bobprivate8575 I lived in SoCal for 20 years and the video looks like it was filmed there.
pmce the foundation is completed, you can figure a week for framing, week for roof and doors and windows yjrn the structure is weathered in. then you can overlap traides, hvac plumbing, electric's ruff in, siding , insulation, drywall, final fit out, if timed right start to finish three to six months.
That was an addition to an existing building.
I’ve seen the Amish frame up a house in one day here in central Illinois. They started working at sunup and worked til sunset but they built it from the ground up and had the roof on by that night. They had about 20-30 guys there working all day but it was impressive. Took them another couple days to finish the inside and outer finishing.
We live in a 2 story wood frame house in what’s called Tornado Alley as we have more tornadoes here than other places in central Illinois but our wood frame house has stood for 125 years through some wicked storms and tornadoes. The wood in our house frame is like rock, it is like petrified wood after all these years. You can’t hardly hammer a nail into it. I think that’s why it’s so sturdy. Not to mention the lathe boards on the inside walls of the house, makes it nice and tight.
We use a lot of wood here as we have a lot of wood available to us here in the USA. You guys across the pond don’t have the forests we do and therefore don’t have the wood available to frame your houses in wood so brick is your only real option. That’s why we use so much lumber here, we have it to spare.
I think it depends on what kind of house one is building. The wood frame is just that -a frame. If one is building a cheap apartment building, they use that crappy particle board. But a nicer house will have brick or stone. Some people even use bales of compressed hay.
I've lived in those cheap apartments. I grew up in a brick house. There's a difference. But it's all pretty amazing.❤ Thanks BPs!
Edit - i find log cabins the most fascinating ❤
Unfortunately, even 'nice' homes that are 500,000 and up and the cheap materials you mentioned.
At least in Pennsylvania brick or stones are nonexistent outside of the older homes.
@firefighterchick yes true. I grew up in PA. We had an old brick home. It was great. And i had relatives that were bricklayers. That was in the 60's. Nowadays everyone wants to cut corners and save money. It stinks. The artistry is gone.
@Every_Day_islike_Sunday 💯
And also California adds earthquake reinforcement to all new builds and adds it to older buildings.
Right now, i live in an adobe brick house built in the 50's. I love the organic feel, but damn they did a crap job! There's no insulation, and many cracks. Adobe in its many forms needs maintenance. I guess everything does.
Edit - to be fair, a lot of people here who have been here for a long time tell me that the climate was not as harsh as it is now. I get anxiety when i hear that. Climate change is real, at least here in Arizona.
Nails vs screws. You can take a nail and wrap it into a knot - you can't do that with a screw. That means with any type of shifting (high winds, ground settling, etc), a nail might bend a bit, but a screw will shear off leaving an opening.
Been doing construction all my life, 30+ years. All across the US. Yes, we use wood studs. But, there are a lot of areas that are moving to metal studs. I did work for a contractor in Oklahoma and that is all he would use. They are actually cheaper in the long run when you consider the screws used on metal studs are half the price of nails for a nail gun, easier to transport, and you don't need a table saw or a compressor. The drawback is it takes longer to cut if you need a certain size. 3:20 Not sure what you called them, but in the U.S., those are fire breaks. The are meant to keep flames from going up the wall and are not required in all areas. In the U.S., you can tell if a house is going to be two-story by the truss used. 4:10 These are called "silent trusses". You use them to separate floors. They are a lot cheaper than using a 2x8 or 2x10. They also do a better job of absorbing the noise of people walking. The problem with them is you can only cut holes for duct work on the ends or they lose their integrity. You hardly ever see a new home in the U.S. use brick except for maybe the bottom 18", called a "brick ledge". They use them in areas prone to termites. A buffer between the wood and the termites so you don't have to have your house treated regularly. Otherwise, the outside is usually either vinyl over wood or foam sheathing or a type of plaster called stucco. 10:05 Yeah, ummm, don't let OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) see you doing that without a safety harness or scaffold. Its a pretty hefty fine.
Metal studs are also required additional measures if they are in a wall that needs to be insulated. They are good for commercial applications but I would not want them in a house.
Yes, OSHA would be handing out a bunch of fines, but their inspection of individual house construction (not a large development), is at best spotty and I know multiple people in the home construction industry that have been at it for decades and have never seen an OSHA inspector.
A wooden house can last as long as the roof does. Maintaining the roof and fixing any leaks right away is key. I've read that our houses take more maintenance in general than UK houses. For example, you don't have to replace an expensive furnace, repaint as often, etc. However, most Americans find they want new construction before a house gets as old as many British and European houses. We want all the new building codes and design features.
That’s not a house that’s an extension
My home is a log home. I live on 33 acres of trees. We cleared a lot of trees early in our history, to build and to make farms, and now we act more sustainably, with major wood companies doing re-seeding and forest management.
Our nails are coated with glue and adhere better , screws are hardened and easier to shear off . That being said we use both depending on the need .
1 day, small addition to an existing home. Looks like it's possibly somewhere in Cali. (Also, CA would explain the 'quake straps he was nailing on the corner. I would have used Simpson hangers and ties throughout the addition's structure, as well.)
Can't be too many houses made out of wood in Britain since they dont have much in the way of forest.
For people who don't like squeaks, they do recommend using screws instead of nails in the floor boards, but it's more labor intensive.
I actually think that was one day's worth of work there. We had a metal pole barn built in our back yard back in 1985, dimensions were 24 ft × 48 ft, i believe, and the construction crew had the entire frame up in a day. And that included 8" × 8" poles for the structural poles. Then 2" × 12" for the side beams every so often along the where they'd attach the metal skin later. Construction with wood is fast. In fact, there's an ad running in my RUclips feeds right now sboutvan upcoming episode of a House Make-over show where they build an entire multistory house in 4 days. And I'll tell you what, the fastest and mkst efficient construction crews are the Amish or Mennonites. They're carpenters by trade, for the most part, and they can build stuff pretty damn quick. Even in commercial construction, crews can build a new Fast Food joint in a matter of days once they get the foundation built. That part takes a little longer as they gotta lay plumbing and all that kind of stuff within a concrete base. But once all that's done, the frame and roof can go up within a day or two. But yeah, having to lay brick for anything takes a long time. When building concrete block crawl space or basement walls, that takes time, because you gotta put down all the plaster or grit to get the blocks to stick together.
This whole building process took a number of months.This wasn't all build in one day.😊
Wood can be treated to protect from things like termites. Wooden houses can last centuries, as well. We have a lot of it, and it can also stand up better to storms, quakes and even be a better choice in areas with tornados (what would you rather collapse, a wooden structure or tons of bricks - the tornado can and will tear through both).
Just an FYI, nails provide shear strength in American houses. The only determinate for shear strength (most framing nails are made from the same material) is nail diameter. Therefore it doesn’t matter if it’s screwed or nailed, as long as the screw/nail meets the shear strength requirement. We use nails/nail guns for framing for speed. We use wood for 99% of residential construction here because it’s widely abundant, easy to work with, makes it easy to make future changes, and is a renewable resource. Would framing is also easy to insulate and make energy efficient. Those are the primary reasons it has always been used in this country since the pilgrims arrived over 400 years ago. There are a few homes that were built by early settlers out east that are over 300 years old. Back then, post and beam construction (timber framing) was used. Today we “stick build” homes because it’s faster, requires less resources, and requires less skill and specialized tools. The Amish in this country still timber frame barns and can raise a frame in a day.
You don't have the forests in the UK for the wood anymore like we do in the US.
Nails for a nail gun are coated with glue
Hey Guys , It Just Depends On Where You are Building It ! Different Parts Of The Country Have Different Standards On Building Houses !!!!! Like In The South in Hurricane States Area have Different Standards!!! Like The First Floor Has To Be Concrete Block House then 2nd Can Be Wood Frame !!!!
They use treated wood nowadays. Helps with termites.
Wood in the US is basically "farmed" by replanting seedlings after harvested timber. Timber farming actually began when a cooperative of logging companies started replanting in Oregon in the 1940s.
You build with what's around you. We are well supplied with wood here.
This is indeed an add-on to an existing house. You fellows are certainly receiving an education on how much more durable wood is in an environment that is prone to harsher and more volatile climes than Britain, aren't you?
On a somewhat related note, look up the American war on currants.
Most Americans don't even know what currants are but nearly everyone in Great Britain does.
In a nutshell the white pine (a primary source of wood for our homes) was in danger due to a fungus, white pine blister rust. that somehow relied on currants and gooseberries in part of its life cycle... so we outlawed them to protect our wood source.
The metal strap is for earthquakes or in the south, hurricanes
the wood thats used on the concrete level is called pressure treated or just treated frames that repels insects being treated with a chemical ....the color is often green to discern its where abouts....
London Bridge is Falling Down ! Falling Down ! Falling Down !
WHY ? Because it was made of Bricks ! 😂🤣😂🤣
Nails predate screws by centuries. How could anyone not know this?😂
Wood construction homes are plenty strong enough for most weather conditions the home will encounter. Of course, if hit by a tornado or hurricane, all bets are off. The same can be said of stone or brick built homes. I've seen many many videos of tornados that have completely demolished brick homes. Perhaps an extremely substantial home built of thick reinforced concrete could withstand a tornado, but it would have to be built almost like a bunker. And, if it has windows, which you would want to have, they probably won't withstand it. I have seen some homes in South Carolina out by the beach that were converted WWII bunkers. They were built into large earthen berms or sand dunes. They would probably survive the wind. Maybe not the water, if it was pushed up that high.
Also, there's other time lapse videos out there where they show entire houses finished from breaking ground to finishing the interior.
We have a lot of wood over here.
America has more trees than in 1900. Very plentiful. We grow trees like crops. Masonry walls crack in an earthquake. Wood structures and metal buildings "flex".
Probably at least 80% of homes in the US are wood framed.
In some states like Florida CBS(concrete block and stucco reinforced with rebar)construction is very common as it does much better in hurricane conditions.
BP1, the wood is specially treated to avoid the termite issue although there is still a chance of infestation without proper inspections on occasion.
There are 'real' wood homes here that are hundreds of years old.
They were built with what I refer to as actual lumber.
New wood frame construction (early 1980s to now)is no longer made of wood beams carved down from the tree itself.
Instead it is made with OSB(oriented strand board)which is sheets of engineered wood pieces compressed together.
The metal pieces you saw connected different sections. It's wood staples most likely being used not nails and you're correct it's not nearly as good as you described your own construction project
It had significantly less load-bearing capabilities than older wood homes.
Under fire conditions very quickly those metal pieces pop off and the structure is prone to complete or significant collapse because of its design and materials that are used.
In older wood frame homes you may have a single room have some amount of collapse and it takes a lot longer to have significant damage.
In new construction, firefighters can have less than 15 minutes from when the fire starts to spread from the source on average to work on containing/extinguishing the fire or do any rescues before we run a very high chance of being inside when there is a collapse.
It's one of the many reasons we teach people to get out of the house(and stay out)as quickly as possible.
Wood construction...LEGO's? And they talk about building their houses out of...Bricks? I guess Legos don't make the same thing I grew up on...and my kids.
We build out of wood because we didn't deforest our continent, like Europe was. We have millions of acres of forest, and Canada has even more. Wood is cheap, but only if you don't have to ship it very far.
...and Europe is one single country.... there are lots of forests in europe
Here in Upstate New York almost every building starts with building a basement!
Here in Downstate NY too.
We don't have a termite problem here in the US and we have a abundant of woods because we have a lot of trees. We have wooden homes built in the 1800's still in good shape
You have to used treated wood to keep termites from houses!
Used to be one person framed a house, but I'm accustomed to two. This seems like a lot of people to frame a house.
It was an addition onto a house
Treated wood help with the bugs😊
Depending on the region of the country, homes are built with a variety of materials,
This looks like it might be in California. And just so you know, bricks/ rocks and earthquakes are a bad combination. Wood is much better option here. (Japan a very earthquake prone country is a good example) In Arizona, NM they build a lot of adobe houses because of the dry climate and it being geological stable. The walls are often 12 inches thick for insulation.
With advances in 3D printing robots which build using concrete and other materials, I think stick building will go away.
@oldmanjimh3165 they make more sense but the general cost at least currently is much cheaper.
Concrete/blocks can withstand storm conditions better, are better insulated for energy efficiency, and block exterior sounds better. Also from a security standpoint better than wood frame.
I get it people think a screw is better than a nail. There is no structural joint in our building code that uses nails used in withdraw, only in shear. A nail will bend where a screw will break over bending cycles. Try bending a screw and nail and see which will fail first.
The US is a world of extreme environments, All homes are designed for seismic categories and wind speed forces. Simple brick and mortar will not meet the lowest seismic code .
We do build with reinforced CMU "Concrete Massionary Units" aka block, and steel, and other materials. But we have a vastly managed forest; if you have it, use it. Building homes is using materials available in your area.
They may still use brick but that comes last in us construction.
Where I live, California, we don’t build with brick because of earthquakes. A lot of older homes have a facing layer of brick for looks, but we haven’t built with bricks in the entire US since the 19th century and never in California. Old California buildings were large stone blocks, or adobes during the Mexican era, if they weren’t made of wood. Brick seems brilliant, just not for California. One small earthquake and your house either comes down or is cracked at best.
Yes, we use lots of wood. Because we have lots of wood.
Did you Brits forget ALREADY why you colonized over here?
Wood framed houses do better in earthquakes than brick structures.
In FLORIDA we build with steel reinforce concrete.
With the flat roof, it's somewhere where snow ain't a thing.
California
I would never let a modern contractor build a house for me. They like to argue and debate their bills of material and I am simply not negotiating my requirements. My house is two story 3,000 square foot, four bedroom, 3 bath house with an additional 1,000 square feet of finished living space in the attic and another 1,500 square feet of finish basement and there isn't one shred of plastic, polymer, foam, PVC, PEX, laminate, engineered crap or particle board anywhere in the structure. its all 2x12, 2x6 and .750" plywood underlayment for the floors and 0.500 for the roof, with the entire house on 16" centers. The Bathrooms, mud room, laundry and kitchen are ceramic tile, wile the Hallways, Dining Area, Foyer and Den are Cherry hardwood tongue and grove. The rest is carpeting... living room, family room, bedrooms, stairs and attic. We actually have two stair cases from the 1st to 2nd floor and one is hardwood with hardwood railings. The entire four floors are drywall, with dimmer switches and recessed ring lighting and ceiling fans, 1" window blinds and blackout curtains, central vacuuming, TV cable and ethernet hookups, and a wifi controlled Lennox four ton HVAC and Air filter system. The entire structure is R-21 thermally insulated and acoustic panels for soundproofing each room. Even the crown molding is real wood and none of this plastic crap found in many houses or, they just choose not to use crown molding at all. Did most of the work myself and saved about $140,000 on labor while the finished product only cost me $250,000 in materials and is currently appraised at $850K. Right down the road are three identical looking houses that sold for $1.2 Million and they're all made with "modern" materials and methods and they're drafty, damp, igloo echo chambers, plain Jain windows, doors, cabinetry and bathroom fixtures, cheap laminate flooring everywhere, with little or no personality whatsoever. They're not "homes". They just places to store your stuff and not really live in because they want to preserve the appearance for resale value. I mean, why even buy a home then if it doesn't reflect the owner?
120 psi for 3 1/2" in hot dipped(galvanized) rig shank nails. 2 5/8" 8p sinkers for the floor boards. You are not pulling those nails out without tearing up the wood
California is the most populated state with 39 mil people. Earthquake faults crisscross the entire western 1/3 of the country. Bricks, Concrete & stone are the worst possible material for earthquakes. So much so it's impossible to get a permit to build with it out here in the West. Wood or steel is the only framing you find post 1906 San Francisco earthquake.
The U.S. has ALOT of forrests so wood is pretty cheap. As far as I know, once they cut down trees they re-plant new seedlings so there will always be growth Ask a builder to make your house out of bricks and it will be really expensive. Some people use the theory that if they were hit by a hurricane/tornedo they would rather be under wood than bricks. Old homes in this country, alot of them were built with bricks (bricks obviously have less upkeep than wood and can last more than a century)
No brick on most of our houses
I still can't figure out why the Brits call the "second layer" the first floor.
America puts insulation in our buildings but it's not required in England. Also, mostly stone buildings are more drafty and are susceptible to more mold.
The camera makes it look small
NEVER ! NEVER NEVER put Wood on Concrete with some kind of insulating felt between the concrete and the wood ! If you don't the wood will rot out in a few years !!
Now you need to watch the proper video. One year timelapse building our custom home. By Farris and Lisa. I believe it is a much better video.
Only certain area of country have termit
Here in coastal Virginia is one of the worst places for termites on the US.
Norway and Sweden build stick and frame houses like the US.
In America, wood is plentiful and cheap. Brick and stone construction are expensive.
The tittle is misleading. They are adding an addition to an existing building.
Brick is cosmetic, not structural.
No wonder, houses in the US get so easily destroyed by tornados or
hurricanes.
Tornadoes will destroy any home and brick homes are that much safer in hurricanes either because water is the biggest killer. Floods cause more deaths than anything else during a hurricanes. Brick homes are death traps in floods. Flood waters rise feet in seconds and you cannot create a hole in a brick wall in seconds.
I have lived through tornadoes and about 15 hurricanes in my life is several US states and in Mexico.
Not many houses survive tornadoes or hurricanes regardless of how they are built.
Hurricanes tend to wash out the foundation via storm surge, or just flood the place. Tornadoes, on the other hand, just destroy everything. Unless you want to live in a steel reinforced concrete bunker you aren't avoiding damage from a tornado. Brick homes just give tornadoes more projectiles to throw around.

What you are showing is an “addition” to an existing house. So it’s not the entire house. It’s just another room/area they are adding on to an already existing home
