I knew you could use the corner of it to make sure something is square. I had no idea that the long side of it was 45°! this is bloody amazing!

Thanks. You’re the dad I never had.

Sharkbite max all the way for homeowners 🤣🤣🤣 easy fix

I'm going with the Cali corner. I think it will be stronger with some insulation efficiency. Drywall clips sound like a weak surface to mount drywall to.

The Best Learning Resource and channel on the internet. Thank you for your website and all the lessons, your Lessons are Excellent, concise and have helped me profoundly to understand, and apply, the topics, as well as raising my confidence in the process, because before I found your Courses and learning resources I was not even sure where or how to start. Thank You for you work in teaching, and all these videos.

Exactly what I needed! Thank you for all the detailed information! Love the video.

Really good clear explanation of the rafter square basics, learned a lot thanks

Nice video

My shower gate valve states it has IPS connectors. I can only find NST to PEX adapters. Will that work?

Got it, but where do our strong man ties come in?

King studs are marked with an “X” Where are you working? Canada

Jack studs are marked with an”O” where I work

Is a 2x6 as sturdy as a partition? By that i mean 3 2x4’s nailed together in a U shape in the exterior wall. I understand it would cause a dead space there but what about longevity?

I learned it as the Swanson Square. It is one of the most useful tools in any pro or hobby shop. I have two sizes, with the Swanson booklet.

We always referred to the jack studs as cripples, i guess terminology varies in different areas

my home depot los angeles are 92. 1/4.... not 5/8 inch

excellent

Where do you get those drywall clips?

I'm a Retired old school General Contractor here aways interested in new things even though retired. New to me, I liked your Calif corner. I don't like your 2 x 6 or ladder for the interior wall because sheet rockers are always in a hurry and if they nail up the interior wall sheet rock first that leaves only a 1/2" or less (sometimes the 2 x 6's are only 5 3/8') on the interior side of the exterior wall for sheet rock. On the ladder type, as soon as the sheet rock goes up you can't see where the blocking is to fasten the sheet rock to. Usually screws or nails are 8" apart on the edges of sheet rock so a ladder type would have to have about 11 blocks. Putting 2 or 3 extra studs into the exterior framing aids in precision alignment of the interior wall and gives the interior wall framing and sheet rock something to nail into.

Thank you very much for lesson

How does the 1/8” spacing requirement for osb (shear wall) affect where the breaks are? For a long wall, the 1/8 would compound quickly (1/8,1/4,3/8,1/2….etc).

These Wood Panelings Have Odor Especially the OSB. I Am Highly Sensitive to Odors. It Makes Me terribly Sick. I'm building a Small Room in the back of My House, I've Spent a Better part Of the past Weeks Browsing the Internet for Alternative to Wood Framing Panels. But Everything seems to be some type of Wood or Engineered wood. I would ideally like something with PVC or FRP that would have the Strength and Rigidity of Wood but without Odor. Do you have any ideas/suggestions??

Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

I’m in Parker county, TX which I believe is climate zone 3. Is it possible to meet 2021 insulation code with open cell spray foam in a 2x4 wall?

I love this! This makes woodworking even more fun and can get even more creative! Thanks a billion :)

老师讲得很仔细，太感谢你了，

This is so elementary. It's a basic technique. Framers learn this the first day of wall framing. Everything has to be tied together.

Best video to learn how to read the architect ruler that I have viewed so far! You have given me the confidence now that I will know what I am doing and have everything correct. Thank you.

Ok so here is a video I wish you would do. Tag me when you do, but how can we use this method to cut the perfect piece of plywood for exterior walls? Let’s say we have a not square house because of time, warping and settling…. How do we set up our square on the house, use triangles to make accurate cuts for a window and to butt up next to another piece? I feel like my measurements are ALWAYS slightly off no matter how many time I check and recheck the measurements. When I go to put my exterior wall up it is always a tad off, it has the wrong tilt to the cut and won’t fit like a puzzle piece. What is it I’m missing and how the hell do I fix it?!? I’ve been scouring the internet looking for that answer. I think your video is getting me onto the right track. This is the secret information great carpenters know, but either rarely share or have troubling communicating the knowledge in an easily understandable way. Please make a video or tell me the secret!

Am from Cameroon. I really love your work.

Very insightful and helpful!!!!

I didn't think a solid wood header would be considered a heat loss. Wood has 'R' value. But is the R value of wood less than insulation board? Log cabins are known for having good R value without insulation. Opinions please...

If you'd just gone ahead with the letters written the right way up for yourself, nobody would ever have known you had originally intended to write them upside down for the convenience of the viewer. We can read individual letters upside down. Don't worry about it.

I was watching a Scandi builder recently, and in his build instead of the second top plate he had the same size timber on edge as a lintel beam immediately under his top plates all around his build. It stiffens the top plate against vertical loads a lot more than the second top plate. I don't recall how he secured the top plates to each other at junctions, but here in Australia I'd expect to use a bit of galvanised sheet steel over the join rather than an extra piece of timber the full length of the wall, if I didn't need the second top plate to stiffen the wall. We use a lot of galvanised sheet steel components in holding our buildings together - it's very good for the task!

Great tool👍🏽✅️

What a great video. TV quality production. Subscribed.

Joe, you truly have a gift for making things easy to learn! Thank You Sir!

I appreciate these videos

Great explanation but I have a question about the window. Are you able to mark the height and header framing for the window on the layout or does the framer need to refer back to the drawings?

Best framing videos I’ve found

I am 68 years old and I have never seen framing explained so well! Thank You So Much! You have a gift for making this understandable! Thank You Sir!

Thank you.

I'm taking my architecture registration exams and have found this information very helpful. Thank you!

Yo, I appreciate this.

I'm guessing the crimp method is for type B and NOT type A PEX and they are not interchangeable.

great information and display very good content thank you for all that and keep it up

Awesome tutorial, great explanation. Much appreciated sir!

For a 12' sliding glass door on an exterior wall, it appears that a 12' 6" header is required with double jacks. How many kings will be needed? Thank you

Fantastic information. It was just what I was needing.
