Hanging Wall Sheathing! (By Yourself)
Hanging sheets is a lot of work solo! But, it's one step closer to a move-in ready home. Stay tuned to see how it turns out once we bring the Amish guys in!

ABOUT US: We are Alex and Elaina, a couple in our 20s who are currently living on the 3-acre farm in southern Pennsylvania where Alex grew up. We have a garden, backyard chickens, and build or fix anything that we need to. We still work corporate day jobs, but are working to eventually leave the 9-5 lifestyle in favor of a self-built, debt-free, homestead on 6 acres nearby.
We upload a KZread video every Saturday night at 7️⃣pm EST, and post daily on Instagram!

I appreciate the kind words! I couldn't do it without Elaina and the few folks we have hired to help on certain trades
The running commentary was so good!

@11:52 Learned that lesson too. Trimming the floor OSB along the rim joist. Just have to watch the bit and if it starts to drift from a straight line, something is up.

Glad to see Nono’s stud spacer got some use! Good job on describing the sheathing process….👍

Haha I thought it was a perfect use for the tool. It's also a very good hanger for hoses and cords if you have a horizontal board somewhere you can hook it on.
Helpful video, thank you.
You make great videos.

This video was fantastic. I learned a few things that would have helped me on my last project. I put up a wall in my game room and the bowing and twisting made getting evenly spaced blocking difficult and then getting the drywall up was an absolute nightmare. That little stud gauge thing would have come in handy for sure. I loved all of the detail. Thanks! Also, I’m assuming that Elaina edited the “gun show” footage, haha.

Great content! Any reason why you didn't go with insulated sheathing?

Considered Zip R but it was special order, extremely expensive, the Amish framers we hired for the second floor have never seen it and would blow nails right through it, and even the nails driven properly I still don't feel comfortable having polyiso between the shear panel and framing members. Some also argue the insulation is on the "wrong" side of the panel, but that depends on climate and other wall assembly details also. On the next build we'll use a vapor-open continuous exterior insulation, most durable and effective option IMO
How about a stud finder while you nail . Wonder would that help.

Sure that would work, I think it would take longer though
Fire Block would help with keeping studs properly gapped? Other then that keep up the good job and saving money?

is it better to put the OSB board horizontally, or vertically?
@shaunybonny688
Жыл бұрын
You can buy OSB in 9 and 10 foot sheets so going vertical is better when you get those on taller walls since you don’t have to cut sheets.
Could it not all have been built flat on the slab ?

Aren’t shiners taken into consideration when the sheer value and nailing pattern was engineered?

Probably but I haven't seen anything specific on that, the APA might have more info
why use zip over osb??

No second trip around the house for housewrap, easier to flash penetrations, more airtight, etc.
