Very relaxing to watch

This has been such a crazy and amazing build. And you are doing it all by yourself. It's taking such a HUGE skillset from ironworker, heavy equipment operator, framer, carpenter and so on. I imagine you will be doing all the finish, electrical and plumbing too. Such a intense amount of work. Having a million dollars of equipment sure helps though.

@ShredPile

3 ай бұрын

Thanks for that, the equipment is clutch but it's not nearly that much money:-) I'm just the framer but I also do the interior and exterior architectural steel like handrails and guard rails etc. Thanks for sticking with the series!

I look forward to every Friday, so I can watch your video, Jake. You craftsmanship is outstanding. It is a shame other builders don't take the pride and extra steps you do, but I am sure you never run out of work because of that.

I appreciate all of that. I will do my best to create more of it and add it in when I do. The quality is better when I'm on the next floor and roof because i'm closer to the camera. Stability is the other issue, the best footage comes from the trolley but I can't retrieve the camera until the end of the day so it's either timelapse or you are limited by battery or card storage and the fact that it's 8 hours of footage to wrangle and then go thru. If I use a mount on the block then it is hard to get as much useable footage because it moves past the limits of the cameras motion control. I may try using a remote for the gopro which would solve most of my problems but it's one more piece of tech and i'm running out of room on the floor of my pickup:-) Thanks for tuning in and we'll see you next week.

Skewed cantiler design really becomes friendly , familiar and hopefully sunlit...lol Nice fast stickup...and soon enough..another layer... Mushroom weather...

I never appreciated how many nails carpenters have to drive in a wooden frame house until now.

Love your work!!

Jambo, Jake. What a prodigious volume of work you have put into this episode! Watching you at work is like observing a artist working a complex Oil-Painting onto a large canvas. I thank and congratulate you.

there is no substitute for experience..... great job and love your videos

The first 10+ years of my working life was out in all weathers, the outside was very good except above 110 heat or 34 degree rain and wind. I don’t miss that. I feel for you in your working conditions -

@ShredPile

3 ай бұрын

I appreciate that. One thing i've noticed over the years in the rain is that it always sounds worse from inside the pickup. Once you're out in it it's not so bad. My least favorite part is the time of year when it's too warm for raingear but raining too hard to go without it. Thanks for checking out the channel!

I worked outside in the Portland Area for a long time as long as you stay dry it’s all good. What a huge project and you make it look easy.

Thanks for that Mr. Wynn. It makes me smile when I realize just how far away around the world all the people watching these videos are. Just amazing:-)

sure is nice to see someone nowadays sheathing with real plywood rather than that osb crap. Sheathing seems to be entirely skipped in a lot of newer structures. I made a handle for moving sheet goods from a ten inch piece of 1" angle with a rolled edge and some stainless tubing (all scraps around the shop, the angle was from an outboard crate and had the one rolled edge which keeps the sheet from sliding off nicely). The tubing was 3/4" stainless boat rail which had a bend in it that worked perfectly for the handle. Saved a lot of bending and lifting with the back and allowed me to see where I was going. Got a lot of use over the years.

@ShredPile

3 ай бұрын

I'll bet it did, sounds handy. I end up just sliding the floor ply around a lot of the time just because it's about 100# a sheet. Just having equipment to get it to the level you are working on is pretty clutch though. Thanks for watching!

Oh really, it’s raining.Haven’t seen sunshine there since I started watching you.

It's there, just got to look fast sometimes:-) thanks for watching.

Seeing how you pull your hand back when you're shooting the nails through the plates and into the studs made me think of the KZread Do-It-Yourself channels where they think they are experts even though they hold the studs with their hand right by the plates when shooting in nails, lol. Bet they stop doing that when they put a nail into their hand, eh? Anyway, that crane definitely makes your job easier.

@ShredPile

3 ай бұрын

This is exactly right. That lesson I learned more than 30 years ago. Just shoot the bottom first and move the hand. The crane will really start to shine going forwards, It's almost silly the amount of work it does. Thanks for tuning back in:-)

impressive!

The frame is really coming along! Was wondering how you were going to handle the top plate line on the window wall. Nice angle with the crane cam! Your lunch.....looked tasty for sure! Until the next one!

Bonjour, superbe travail et c'est un plaisir de regarder vos vidéos surtout la création de cette maison en ossature bois , par contre je me pose des questions car généralement le bois n'aime pas trop l'eau et en ce moment lors de l'évolution de tout cela vous avez vraiment beaucoup de pluie, avez vous un bois particulier et est il traité à cœur pour résister à toute cette eau sans danger, merci encore de votre partage de la part du vosgien en FRANCE.

@ShredPile

3 ай бұрын

Merci beaucoup pour votre écoute ! Oui, la pluie n'est pas optimale mais elle est inévitable pour cette région. Le bois de charpente ira bien, mais c'est le pli du plancher qui en souffre le plus. J'utilise la meilleure qualité possible mais je finirai inévitablement par remplacer une pièce ici ou là si elle ne tient pas le coup. Le long temps ouvert sur le travail lui permettra de sécher de manière acceptable avant la fin.

So do you do the all interior work to? And thanks for posting your videos they all cool the watch

Genuine question. What happens with all the water in the wood once the roof is on, does it get a chance to dry out a bit? Looks like very wet wood and how do you stop mould from forming at a later stage?

@ShredPile

3 ай бұрын

Yeah, I’ve answered this quite a bit in the other episodes, but it will have time to dry out with fans and other methods during the long open time of the project. There’s a lot of internal stuff going on and it’ll be quite some time before it’s closed up.

@@ShredPile thanks for taking the time to repeat your answer. I’m impressed how you just keep going in the rain and getting the wood wet is unavoidable so was just curious but makes total sense now

Sometimes you use nails and hammer to join framing together and sometimes the nail gun… how do you choose???

@ShredPile

Sometimes I will hand nail something because i need the nail to do something more than just go in, You can use a nail to draw things together or to move things over and a nail gun wont do that. A lot of the time the gun is just too far away:-)

I noticed the Roseburg label on the plywood. I was up there 2 years ago for an open house built by another KZreadr “Essential Craftsman “. He was an inspiration during the COVID times while he worked on it and watching you work with the elements against you is also as inspiring. Is this for a client, and he’s cool with a one man band? Two words come to mind. Professional and Driven. I love the crane too. Safe building.

How long does the ply last being so wet? Could you perhaps use a damp proof membrane over it all then build the walls on that and cut it out with a blade later?

@ShredPile

3 ай бұрын

It always turns out OK, I’m pretty sure that’s been tried before on KZread and there’s just no way to keep water from penetrating and then it can’t dry at all. I’m out here today and it’s sunny and the stuff is drying right up. It’ll be fine by the end of the job. I’ve mentioned it before but it is an unfortunate part about building in this area but it’s pretty much normal.
