i learned how to build houses at Los Angeles Trade Tech. This is how we were taught. Also Larry Haun the Zen Master of residential construction came and gave us some secrets to the trade. These guys in this video are spot on. It should be mandatory in order to graduate with a high school diploma to acquire basic knowledge on building houses and auto repair....MANDATORY!!!

This HAS TO BE the BEST tutorial I've watched in the construction business. Definition of terms, visual demonstrations as well as discussion of why's and wherefor's is clear enough for anyone to understand. I'm an old lady rebuilding her own kitchen, with some carpentry experience but always refreshing my memory on structural requirements so I'm subscribing and will probably binge watch the rest of your videos just for fun :) Thanks guys!

Really good vid. Thank you.

Nice work man. Thanks for posting.

i am 22 years old and love learning this stuff God Bless you your helping the next generation.

Thank you for explaining the process in detail. You explained your game plan, then showing us the boards you're talking about using the arrows to point to the boards you're calling them. It helps me to keep up with the process. I have learned a lot.

What a beautifully done book kzfaq.infoUgkxo4aMFkUegBx-KHPIJlfwKPHu7kQXAR9N ! The text and the photographs are brilliant. It is thorough and genuinely informative. Joseph Truini got another winner! No one does it better! Love the Cape Cod Shed with the Blue door!

Nice video thanks!

Thanks so much for all the great content! I'm always learning so much!! helps me a ton and I put it in practice at work!

Thanks I'm learning learning daily. 🙏

I'm teaching an NCCER Carpentry 1 class using your videos to break down framing for high school students. Thanks for making it entertaining and breaking it down for my kids.

As a DIYer your channel is a great inspiration for learning about the construction trade. We all appreciate you guys taking the time to spread your knowledge.

Again,,,,I was fortunate to work and learn as an apprentice in Landscaping, but have had to learn on my own on building, so we greatly appreciate all of the videos

I’m a builder and I don’t watch many of these videos but I love these guys! I think I’ve watched just about all of their content. Nice to see younger pros making strait forward videos for the greenies also the way they run there projects nicely they also keep it light and have fun doing it ! If your doing this for a living the way these guys do you got it made! Well done boys, I’m a fan! And it’s good for the next generation to see instead of the “alternative “ lol

I love watching pros work, no matter what industry they're in. The efficiency, the confidence in what they're doing... It's impressive. My trade is metalwork these days, specifically gunsmithing, now that I'm retired from being a shooter... The way he glides around the job is exactly how I am in my shop, and how I was on the job before retirement. Keep up the good work. I came here because it's been a long time since I built a house, and my brother just enlisted me in remodeling his house. We both know how to do it, but he's the carpenter by trade... I'm the soldier. So I'm a bit rusty. I'll be framing windows on Thursday, so I better brush up on the lingo. I was trying forever trying to remember the names of the king studs until I remembered KZfaq.

Great video. No fluff. Just good information. I’m framing windows today and this was very helpful. Thankyou.

SPOT ON PERKINS!!!!! I hope the Crazy Framer watches your videos and learns what it means to take pride in your work and do it right!!! Its not always about speed!! its about quality framing and accurate walls to set the precedence for the remaining of the build. Your mentors taught you well my friend.

Man, you are keeping me from getting any work done because I can't quit watching your videos. When I do break off and get back at it my work will be much better thanks to this channel!

More vids like this please!! Thank you for dropping some knowledge Happy holidays

Such great videos you guys! Always an incredible job and superb explanations.

Great video! I always thought houses were put together the same way as Legos. I expected more super glue. Really opened my eyes.

Dude...awesome video. I love how thorough your explanation is and the fact that you actually demonstrate it. This is exactly the type of video I'm always looking for on KZfaq. Hope to learn more from your channel.

You are the man, you explain yourself extremely well, thank you !!!

Thanks for sharing your skills!

I always learn something when I watch you guys. TX

Awesome video... Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge... I've learned so much by watching your channel... You're the best.....

You’re by far the best ..!!! People always leave out a good bit

You've probably already heard of this, but I prefer nailing the king stud, jack stud, and outer criple, all together before putting them down onto the plate. This just makes nailing them together and flushing them a lot easier since you're not fighting gravity

It would be dope if you guys did a video on "advanced framing" and the benefits of thermal bridging! Love your vids

This is a great instruction video. Very clear directions. Well enunciated. Much appreciated.

Very good and clear instructions 🍺

Thank You Sir as usual you make it seem so easy. I appreciate all you do for people. Everyone should be great full for the time you take to teach us your skills. Just ignore the people who make worthless comments, that is just the human mind being insecure. They have to think they know everything. Thank You again be safe. Pat W Chrisman Sr

I watched this a year ago...and re-watched tonight. Amazing how better I understood it this go round...Likely relative to how much I've learned watching these guys over a year. Thank-You!

You guys are amazing. Watching your video's and learning from you is fantastic!

Learning something new from you guys like in every video, thanks

I'm a framer and this is great effing work.

Really appreciate the sense of humor and the top notch info on how-to. Best videos of this sort I’ve found on KZfaq. I’m building a block foundation at the end of December and will be using your ninja like ways ! Oh yeah - who cares about those whiny babies in the comments ! Don’t give them any acknowledgement !

As usual, good , quality stuff! Keep em coming !

Thank you guys for sharing your knowledge

Great instructional video. It takes great attention to make these easy to understand and you... nailed it. Pun intended. TY

Thank you for sharing your craft. Your videos are very informative.

Just love your videos. Going to build myself a wooden garage so thank you for all this information. Scottish John

Excellent video! Thank you for posting. I didn't have to fast forward once.

By far best channel on KZfaq

This was amazing video. I swear I’ve watched it four times. I’m sure I’ll watch it a couple more times as I’m about to put windows in a build today. However the wall is already built and up so I’m going to have to cut through a 2 x 4 two. But your directions were excellent and easy to follow. You were very detailed and for a girl who has never built a house before I feel confident that I can walk out there right now and do it. Thank you very much

I always appreciate when "real" pros share tips and building techniques instead of amateurs acting like they know what they're talking about. I learn just as much about how NOT to do something from those guys, so it's not a total loss. Thanks for the expert content and easy to understand presentation.👍

Very good instructional video! Thanks!

Excellent job explaining “ how to “ video, well done!!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to make videos like this it is much appreciated

Great video! 👍. Thank you very much for your help

Now that I'm RETIRED, I honestly can say I Do Not Miss Those Cold Frosty Mornings on a frozen jobsite framing up houses. So I will lift my hot cup of coffee to salute you'ns. Always enjoy your videos Well Done. And I've got add that I've seen things done a little differently that would have save me time.

The consummate pro! Thank you for detailed instructions.

Very tight work...nicely done guys!

That's awsome u make it look very easy

On window openings, take the number of studs interrupted and divide by 2. If you end up with a half you round up. That will give you the number of king studs required.

Thank you for this video! Super helpful and detailed.

Great idea putting in a screw to pry on for getting the header flush, when I don’t have screws I sometimes pull the safety lever back, fire a nail and then pry on the head

We always enjoy the videos,,,usually very informative,,,,and often times you will mention a very simple thing that ties everything in for us. We trust brother is doing ok with his fingers

Awesome video and gave you all the information with no frill. Love it and awesome job

Love the vids! Keep them coming

Awesome! Thanks so much for this video. Well done.

Thank you my friend for the knowledge!!! About to embark on enclosing my patio, which only requires a single 20ft wall. I want to put a door and some windows too. Thank you!

Looks like you nailed it

Good job

You guys always have attention to detail 👍

I just love these Brothers THANK YOU.

Hi. I’m another bot here to talk about how amazing this video is!

Very good lesson. Thank you.

Great job explaining the process! easy to understand it would be nice if everyone would teach on the job like that instead of yelling JUST DO IT LIKE I DO lol 😂

I have learned so Much from These videos

I always get a a few sheets of 2” solid blue insulation board with my frame packs to use inside my headers for insulation

first time this kind of topic is really easy tutorial xD thanks for video and greetings from FIN

Excellent instruction video… Nailed it👍 B Deacon Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦

Excellent work young fellow !!

Nice work!you are the man!

I really enjoyed your video. It was very educational and interesting.

great instructor. thank you.

I love videos so mucho, kudos

Great team! Thanks for the lessons...

Super useful, simple, straightforward videos like this are the reason I come to KZfaq for how-tos. Thank you very much!

Great video man. Thanks

thank you for refresher

Thank you so much for the clear explanation on how to build this. My situation is different but now that I see what you've done I can replicate it for the most part.

Thank you so much.

I’m beginning building my own home. Doing everything myself. And your videos are very helpful. Unfortunately I get no cell service where I’m building so I have to watch ur videos and write everything down before I go to the site.

Thank you!

Good Video Good Humor You Tube the BEST !!!!!!!!! Happy 2021

It’s one thing knowing what your doing but it’s different ballgame trying to teach others good job guys

Nailed it!

lol Jaime just holding the cheese was the highlight of 2019

Great job

Thank you for sharing this! Wish me luc 😂

My grandfather, my dad ,and all ten of my uncles were carpenters, man if they had power nailers

Nice. I bought a house recently and I have embarked myself in DIY. I think my first of a kind project would be a shed.

Great explanation

Nice how to video. have learned to add another piece of 2 x ? on the outside of the King stud to allow more backing for a curtain rod, or allow for two jack studs for that extra 1-1/2". It keeps owners from destroying the sheetrock trying to mount the rod support.

Was a framer for a lot of years, things have changed. We only used nail guns to nail the subfloor. But we could really swing a hammer, never saw a screwgun on the job unless we wee installing doors

Thank you so much for producing this! You answered every question I have. I need to replace the windows in my garage. The one question you just answered is height, which I figured there was a standard, but did not know. Thanks again.

Great video! 👍
