Thankyou

It's all good no one expected you to realize it when you were bitching and moaning doing nothing. I appreciate the fact that you can do nothing but complain and whine while drinking a coffee and talking. Keep up the good work

Your welcome

Thanks Oscar, much appreciated

More than welcome

Looks to be a pouch he uses for layout strictly, everything in the front to easily get, multiple tapes etc. Different set of bags for the real work

@@ericjaszczur2860 nice observation👌🏼 could be very true, im just used to seeing carpenters with one set of bags, if we need the 40-100 foot tape ill go to the truck and get it. Chalk line and pencil are a every day carry so we dont need a special layout pouch

@@dakushlife5225 you see some weird stuff on this channel but everyone does it differently 😉

Lol that's beast mode for ya!

Like I said earlier I never listened to a man that wears sweatpants and has his bags on backwards. Grab a nice pair of occidentals they're comfortable too....

Ya if you're lucky you are blessed to have a long interior wall that goes right through that can also act as a reference

I agree

Confused

@@seanmayo206 Terms used with measurements that don't land exactly on the tape line's. Leave the line and take the line are used too. if the measurement is just a hair over 21 inches you say 21 strong or tell the cutter 21 but leave his cut mark. if a hair under 21 its 21 weak or 21 and take the line.

Foundation and floor, them green guys I swear deliberately don’t follow lines setting plates

That’s how we do it but for some reason we end up doing the same exact thing as when we check the foundation for square. 6,8,10. Then we check diagonals then check for parallel. We do that process at least 1000000 times because the boss doesn’t trust himself or anyone else else for that matter

I don't like to do the reach around for the chalk line. It can get awkward

And I understand the production value

Nope that's what I do especially with pt a wet board can be bigger then one on top of the stack so we nail them then hanger

Do everything as you go up. When I put the last sheet on my roof. I'm done. Start a new house next day.

Gotta reach the masses and make houses good again

I'd rather see Advantech!

I love when 90% of the plywood you can kick in

Don’t like seeing the price of 3/4 plywood

@@framingbeast720 i would have expected the complete opposite with plywood. Such a pain on roof sheeting, trying to get it in the clips.

@@huejanus5505 ya its through the roof at the moment. I know some builders buy there material years ahead to avoid inflation and insane prices. It hurts

It's any constant number times 3, times 4, times 5....15...20...25.. so on

He did. Multiple of 8. He had a 40' tape. The biggest he could go at that moment.

It's not even the best method to use. Just use the Pythagorean theorem to establish exactly what your hypotenuse length is per the exact wall length measurements. That way, there is no projecting like when using the 3, 4, 5 method. To do this quickly, use a trigonometry app.

@@N1rOx wow, that's actually really easy. thank you

@@jessejames7596 your welcome bro

If I'm running it through I always mark 5.5 for the 2x6 first then toe to the chalk line...I've seen guys who just nail it flush with the outside of the rim and that is undebatably wrong

I recheck the square at every stage

@@framingbeast720 Yeah but if u watch the video. You didn't start on a square floor. Not sure if you built that or not. Seemed weird to me you would used the gable for square also. Wouldn't it be better for the truss walls to be parallel and tweak your gable walls if you have to?

Hi Raymond, I'm not sure what you're referring to

That’s correct.. or if it’s that small, you can always use a framing square..

I only use the red tajima its not a chalk its a dye and never comes off the floor

Thanks for the clarification

Thanks for your support brother

Love the vids btw learning lots

Those dewalt hammers( preferably the mig welded 12 and 14 oz) are very underated, my 14 dewalt is about 4 years old and still has a waffle, not alot but still has some and my stilleto mushed out in 6 months

I use the Dewalt hammers too. They're very nice.

I have a 15 oz titanium ti-bone but no more grip. I am intrigued by the axe handle ti 🦴 mini I have to say

I'm gonna say that's a Lufkin

Irwin chalk.

He showed in the beginning...

I don’t disagree with you

I see so many people not do this and don’t believe how much time it saves lol straighten your boxes/rim and then check your overalls.

Why does it seem, that the helper is a little slow? You ask a question and they "Answer" with I Don't know 😂🤦🤦🤦

@@robertpelham6298 maybe it's because nobody has taken the time to teach them anything.

I dunno, as you can tell filming is not my forte

Hahaha framing houses sure is tho 🤷‍♂️

It's the GC job . He most likely a sub which mean he just build rough and then move to the next one.

General contractor does all that. Sometimes the framer may supply Lumber if that's the way the deal was made.

Framers usually tell lumber company when to bring the lumber packs other then that it's general contractors job

GC's job. Framers scope is erecting, providing the crane if trusses are used, and nails. GC provides the material, trusses & hardware. GC is responsible for calling and scheduling the inspections. Fact is a builder is not really a "builder". They are just construction managers.

A few things to note: 1)no siding, only brick which increases tolerances. 2) why would I waste time squaring the foundation when I'm going to square what's more important above it, the walls. I chalk the foundation middle wall between the units to maintain my 1 1/2 drywall space and away to the races. 3) if the walls of out or in more than 1/2 I make the adjustments sometime splitting the difference.

No disrespect, but you’re telling me that you don’t even check the foundation for square and just joist & deck it as is... then square the walls on top of it... I’ve built 100’s of houses and been around many different builders over 30+ years and never have I ever seen it done like that... So I guess you can skin your cat your way and I’ll skin my cat my way... but you which way is right

If you start square and level it should stay square and level I've never seen anyone not square the foundation except Larry Haun hacks

I agree with HM Trim. Framed 100s of houses and always square up the foundation first. My ocd is off the charts right now.

@@hmtrimworks7148 I measure the foundation when. I start .should always square the walls or else world of hurt later.

I would have to agree with you my friend

....I worry and weep for your subtrades...pour some whiskey out for them

I'm not because it's the porch and they are going to fill with concrete then brick anyways. It's not worth losing any sleep over. Now on the other hand if it's the stairs or my sunken and it's even 1/4 off totally different matter. I used to square the foundation and chalk it then I stopped unless its for prefabs where there is set panels sitting on those mud sills. I always make a loi t of measuring my brick to brick outside house measurements front to back, side to side then if that's in place I go flush to Inaide of foundation

@@framingbeast720 I respect your enthusiasm but any framer that show's up on one of my jobs and doesn't square the foundation Everytime only lasts a few hours but I have never had to fire a guy for that before you are the first framer I have seen that doesn't square the foundation sorry buddy but that is what hack's do

Im not gonna lie, I have never seen my maestro's do all that when we lay out. I don't know how to layout but something seemed off, it was taking longer than usually lol.

Im so lost its not even funny.
