In this video I show how we layout our walls for steel. I also talk about the method we use to start with a perfectly level base trim. We put up a ton of metal in one day, so stick around til the end to see just how much.
In this episode I also talk about a couple of the tools I personally prefer to use when installing steel. Mainly the Milwaukee Surge and Makita XSF05Z screw gun.

I'm binge watching RR Buildings. Can't stop...Bored and completely thrilled at the same time. Seems to me that one man's perfection is another man's organization. Kyle, your organization makes me feel better about myself because everyone tells me I'm a perfectionist and all I can see is exactly what you keep saying over and over...organization and preparation make for the best work without errors. If this is perfection well...i guess to me it's just more money in my pocket. I don't know how many of these videos you have but I''m probably going to be here for a few more days.

I remember someone making a comment once about how you treat Greg when you're joking with him about his work, that they were worried it'll affect job morale. That they said it was even a bit unprofessional if I remember correctly. Anyway, my point is, this video proves it goes both ways when it comes to the joking. They joke with you just as much as you joke with them, lol. Joking around and having fun with your coworkers, actually liking them too, is what keeps morale up. There's nothing worse for job morale than coworkers finding the job boring and tedious. You guys make a great team and are a pleasure to watch. 😊

I don't comment much but I feel like putting my two cents in on one of your questions. The company I work for just had training on how to do Hardie Board Siding. When my company does Hardie Board Siding, we run the house wrap down to the pressure treated board like you did. After installing your base trim like you did around 11 minutes into the video. We put tyvek tape on the top of the metal where it meets the house wrap to seal it off. So if there was any water to get behind there it'd drain off onto your base trim. I know that's not the reason your using it but the instructor really wanted us to know that you never to put the house wrap over the base trim and tape the top of your base trim.

4:07 Yeeeees!!! I had a math teacher in college last semester and he teaches almost everything that has numbers involved but absolutely everything and up to the highest level including super crazy physics and I remember that one day in class he was explaining about an exercise and he turned around and he said. You know guys, I have been a teacher for more than 30 years and still asking myself why in the world the American school system still want to teach you the English system ? You guys can’t even imagine the easy life that it could be if you use metric system like the rest of the world. And beside that all big companies that you will potentially work they do metric anyway. That was his words and I totally support that because I had to learn the English system and I got it really well but guys metrics is mind blowing how easy is to use it especially when you don’t have to use fractions. Cheers!

This is coming from an Ex-Iron worker who is now disabled. First, it is called an awl (One word not letters). Secondly, instead of spending $3 dollars on one when it is just going to bend on you. Why not try using a 12 penny nail. They are cheaper and just as strong to punch holes in the Sheet-metal siding. When I was able to work, we opted to use them instead of drilling as well. Just a friendly tip.

They make straps with clamps that go onto your scissor lift (not sure what they are called sorry), they strap to the cage and then clamp to the sheeting so you can raise the sheets up via the lift. Only reason I know this is because I do demo and while we was ripping off old sheeting, a company was following behind us installing the new sheeting in this fashion (huge steel mills).... was super quick and obviously saved a lot of physical labor for them.... I just wished I knew what they was called for you to check them out is all... with shorter pieces they was running multiple of them at a time, was pretty cool to watch.

Don't beat yourself up over still using imperial measurements instead of the metric system, it's all just numbers. My father was a shipwright who for most of his life used imperial and only in his 40's had to change to metric. I remember the struggle he initially had but eventually, he adapted. I still have all of his imperial woodworking tools and I am also quite comfortable switching between one or the other. All of the lumber sold locally has these weird metric dimensions like 19mmX305mm which is actually a 3/4-inch x 12-inch board so yea we metricated in 1971 but still sell imperial lumber. 😁 Another thing is I can not do fractions in my head as my father could, I have to think hard on it. Just for reference, I live in Cape Town, South Africa. Thanks for the video's, I really enjoy them.

As of the metric stuff. You can get a measuring tape that has both metric and imperial, like Stanley 30-696. 5m/16ft, 18mm width. Really handy, especially for woodworking. Really good quality measuring tape too. They also sell Stanley 1-30-656 which is 8m/26ft. Width 25mm/1in. Stanley also has a FatMax version of this 8m/26ft tape, with 32mm width, more heavy hook, which is even better for construction sites. Even if you don't use metric that often, it makes you get really accustomed to it very quickly and it always is there in the same tool, or to share on videos :D

I was taught to house wrapped over the base flashing. Just leave the bottom un-stapled and snap some level lines on your grade broad. Better than packing that grade stick around ever time you go to set a nail. I hate that beeping and seems more productive to just snap some lines. You can always double check it once it's installed for peace of mind, if you want.

At 10:35 when you're talking about not running house wrap over that sill flashing piece... I agree that it would look like crap if the house wrap ended up showing later, but you never know when water may get behind there. So to satisfy that and to satisfy the perfectionist in you (I'm a perfectionist as well) I would run a line of FlexWrap EZ by DuPont (self sealing flashing tape). There are other brands out there too that you could use. Try it and see if you like it; I think it would make for a better install.
