Thanks! Very informative. I don't ever plan on having a house build but this is still entertaining. Thank you for all of the years of information you have provided me

sun won't bake the wall when it is behind a fascia of some sort. Zip and zip tape is being used across the US. However, you have excellent point on the nail and screw holes. There is a zip liquid that can be troweled over the nail holes.

Captain, and you know this how? Do you have independent test data showing what the temperature of the south-facing sheathing in Phoenix, AZ is that's in *direct contact* with say fiber-cement siding? I'm talking about where the sun is baking the siding for hours. Why of course you don't have the data. Your opinion is just speculation. Zip mastic would be even worse. You'd HOPE the sheathing is clean before applying it.

Your generosity never ceases to amaze me. Have you found a pup for Kathy yet???? She keeps asking me.

Really amazing to see the progress on this house and get a walking tour every step of the way. Thank you so much!

They got lots done yesterday but I was unable to record videos because it was raining after they left. Then it got dark. I believe if I'm lucky to record tonight, there will be at least three new videos, maybe four. SO MUCH to discuss.

No more live videos. I couldn't get any traction.

The overdriven nails are a big problem for sure, and they should have caulked or put the flashing tape over them (as a crappy, minimum solution).

@askthebuilder Жыл бұрын

New nails should be driven properly as I show in the video. Then you're right, if the ZIP people feel so good about their tape, small pieces should be cut and applied over each overdriven nail.

@joshperrythree Жыл бұрын

The part that bothers me most about the over-driven nails is the reduced holding capacity this results in! Definitely weakens the shear strength of that wall assembly.

Fortunately the house is on bedrock and we rarely have earthquakes in NH. Although I've felt and HEARD two of them in the past ten years.

Thanks Tim. I love this series. Maybe that top will be an attic?

It could be an attic. If we asked Kenny Chesney, here's what he'd say: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bayJgsh12svXmqM.html

pre-stressed, pre-cast concrete planks will make up the garage floor/ceiling

@askthebuilder Жыл бұрын

Could be. That wasn't my point. WHAT will the planks bear on????? You've got two wood walls. One of them has to be bearing.

@samash1704 Жыл бұрын

@@askthebuilder Not Sure. I suspect the concrete slabs will rest on the one cement wall with the tabs and a to-be-determined bearing wall (possibly brought in at the same time as the concrete floor slabs) on the opposite side.

@thatshould Жыл бұрын

I doubt they are building out that header anymore - their other 2 ply headers are already framed out. When you go with a single-ply header you quite often have to go up to doubled-up trimmers/jacks to provide a sufficient bearing. The six-foot rule is not an appropriate way to determine whether to double up your trimmers, especially when framing a multi-story structure. If header sizing and the number of trimmers aren't called out on the plans then you have to reference table R602.7 - unfortunately, these tables are severely limited if you are dealing with even average spans that commonly exceed 36' or snow load in excess of 70 psf.

@askthebuilder Жыл бұрын

I believe if you do the math, you'll discover most/many frame headers in most homes are very overbuilt. I couldn't agree more about header design when concentrated loads are above the span. Go look at the photo in this column of the last house I built for my family. Read the column and you'll be *BLOWN AWAY* by the enormous loads on this wall and above the openings: www.askthebuilder.com/load-bearing-wall-identification/

That can’t be a bedroom in that back basement no window present for egress

I thought the same thing. Look at the plan in the Day 2 Rough Carpentry video.

Are u sure they appreciate you criticizing their work. How r still allowed on the job site?

@askthebuilder Жыл бұрын

I'm quite sure they don't appreciate my critique of their work. If so, I believe the Court of Public Opinion would vote that it's misdirected anger, right? Imagine the builder was doing EXCEPTIONAL work - everything perfect. Do you think that builder or homeowner would be upset at me pointing out how it's the best work I've ever seen, including all the work I did in my career? Old saying: If you can't take the heat, get the heck out of the kitchen.
