Hi Matt, You asked to post about power tools. According to Google Gemini, "In 1920, some power tools existed, but they were not widely adopted in residential construction. Most framing lumber was still cut by hand using saws and other hand tools. There were Sawmills and Portable circular saws. some tools were available to aid in the process, the majority of residential framing construction in California in 1920 would still have been done by hand."

Matt, my house was built in 1895 as a 12 by 25 home. There have been 30 owners by the titles, and at least 8 remodels which I did 2. It's now a 25 by 25, 1 & 1/2 story 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath. It was expanded several decades ago. But very little is level plum or flush. But it's paid for. South Dakota.

California 🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻… but love the videos, Matt!

On the slack in electrical, would you do it through the studs to prevent drywallers damage or homeowners damage since it’s sitting on the face of the stud?

Most american thing to deliver whole timber not logs, and also handle them with an eightpair instead of a smaller loader.

Very helpful buddy I’m learning everything you telling in the view very satisfying thanks brother

What tape measure is that? It looks blacked out

Very nice sir ❤❤❤❤❤❤ subscribe please

And those guys were all about 5'7" 😅

A heavier hammer might help. And a forearm like popeye.

I mean, at least point the tip away from your face bro....

Always an eye opener Matt.

1/2 " sound board will work better.

Is that treated ?

Curious, why do you block at 3.6 and 4.6 and why not just at 4'?

Jus need a mill😅

Hard work, not for the faint of heart. Real money to be made but realize (right now) it won't be done in a day.

"They slowly stack them up for processing " 😂😂😂 A good operator quickly stacks them up for processing.

Do you need a special gun and nails for headers you're doing?

Smells like money 🎉🎉

Where it coming though

100% agree. Installed some of these in a complex where an apartment unit is sharing a wall with a yoga studio. It makes a difference for sure!

Unprofessional.

You’re awesome man thanks for the videos you put out

Good video!!

Excellent description of framing a house. When you get done swinging a hammer you've got a future in teaching

Should've removed stud before nailing the header

@6:22 there is a very easy fix. You can cut the top plate, run your header flush with the top plate, then provide straps on each end. The top plate is dragging some load to hopefully a lateral system. RFI needed either way. The 4x12 might just be a typical header call out. What’s the span of the roof framing?

Aye! I been a fan of this channel for some years ever since I was building ADUs wit a GCs crew. Bang on MBW.

I've been retired for four years now and I miss framing and working with cedar I don't miss it so much to go do it everyday anyways always appreciate you guys that make these videos I kinda get to participate without the splinters or sawdust or a hurting back you do it very well

Got a little props from the PBD podcast. Thanks for the videos

Nice Socks, Might have to invest in a pair!

5:30 😂there are better ways… a pencil actually works very well. Sheath the house mark openings as you go and then a paddle bit and router make short neat work of it

Idk how anyone uses these Dewalt guns. Takes foreverrrrr. M18 is by far the best gun. Even if it weighs 90lbs lolll

You would really benefit from the Milwaukee battery framer

yeah man!!! The vids are getting more and more unique ... I watch them all

Giving the title, I expected a lot more than that on the nail difference.

I'm pretty sure a built up header of 2 2x's and plywood is stronger than a solid 4x6, so how comes they don't call out for those?

Why are you using osb for exterior walls

you guys do a great job. but the security precautions have a lot room for improvement

What is under the building for a foundation Matt?

20 common Matt

I also drive a 7.3l best truck I've ever had

Enjoy your videos. Freebie or not, the t-shirts are a bargain at $20, I have three, they are made well and fit well!

Here for the knowledge but I’ll take the swag! Discount code reached limit before I could use it…but I just bought a shirt and a no it’s fucked sticker anyway 😂 Thanks for sharing what you’ve learned over the years. I hang onto every word cause I also build in the 805. Very grateful to have someone local sharing info on YT because construction changes so much based on location.

Matt if your for real that might have to get rid of the 7.3L cause of California emissions I’d gladly come buy it!! Can’t find trucks like that up here in On and I’d love to have 1 again

Only 450 views and 5 comments, but "This discount code has reached its usage limit". Booooo!!!

12:30 Matt getting un-hinged.

Talk to the Perkins brothers about following the plan 😂

Where the hell is the plywood on that house 🤦🤦.
