Marty you just need to replace the brushes on your skill saw and it will work like new. They where out over time. Their not that expensive. At least if you do that you will have a spare. I did that to the old dewalt sheet rock gun drill that a friend of mine gave me. New they were around $150.00 The battery was around $125.00. I got a smart charger that was on clearance one of the last ones they had for $25.00 new they went for around $115.00 or so. I use it for everything I need it for still works like new. When my brushes went it smoked really bad like your saw. Their very easy to replace.

I'm a framer by trade. Close to 30 yrs experience. You guys done a very nice, professional job. Great job! The only thing I could add is seeing you guys moving those trusses standing on top of the ladder made me cringe a little. 2x6 is very easy to walk and it's much safer and easier than using a ladder. You can slide the trusses and use them for balance. And if you cut a 8' 2x4, lay it tight against the groove and use a sledgehammer, you can knock that T&G in nice and tight. Your boy helping is awesome!

My friends I do this every single day of my life and you are correct that quarter of a inch definitely matters extremely impressed by the both of ya'll thumbs up my friends keep keeping on

Congrats on the new saw. I am so excited I bought a DeWalt Drill set and 110 bits and a DeWalt air conpressor and a Dewalt Brad nail gun came with it for free and I got A TIRE AIR ATTACHMENT AND OTHER PARTS. I plan on buying my property up there this spring and am so excited to have my first tools. You guys have done amazing

I was about to comment that you should be using a construction adhesive for the sub-flooring and on queue you showed it being put down. Great decision to paint the sub-floor immediately. Hopefully you can get the second floor walls, roof trusses and sheathing on before any significant rain or worse yet snow.... looking good guys and even better teamwork 👍👍👍

Those is some serious trusses.

The "rocking" as you call it, is a term we call racking in construction. A diagonal brace in the walls will solve this problem. A 2x6 Placed on a 45 degree in each corner will stop racking. Great video.

the amount of bounce is entirely based on the engineering. generalizing that floor trusses are bouncy is incorrect

U would already have found out by now obviously cos the videos out but everything you’re doing is perfect, that bounce is normal and the sheets tie it all in, sometimes I feel you’re doubting things (normal) but seriously guys, you’re killing it

proud of you and your family... regards from Indonesia

Looking good!!! Coming along fast! Smart thinking on painting that flooring..it will also guard against spills..have fun and keep building..

I am always happy to see your videos and I am Happy with how the content was done. Way to go folks I only wish I could be able to do these things.

Thanks so much. Hey, would you mind sharing this video?

I believe the joist across the floor trusses is called a ribband. The wobble is called bounce in the floor because of the large span. The best way I found to beat the tongue into the groove of the prior sheathing is to use a 3x4 stud with a sledge hammer. So you would beat on the 3x4 up against the sheathing until it is snug in place. The boss used to tell us to quit using up his 3x4's. Now I was an Apprentice at the time following along with the Journeyman, but by golly, his way really worked!

@@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving Oh, I see. Yes, the sheathing would take care of that. Looks great! As a traditionalist, I still prefer breaking up the floor span into two 13-ft sections, but many people prefer using floor trusses. Both ways work. If you look at a really old shack type of place that is still standing in good shape, it's because they used beams. But if you are not planning on being around in 150 years, it doesn't matter much. I tend to take a conservative approach. But on my next home design, I might as well give floor trusses a try. They are a fire hazard for the upstairs. You won't have much time to flee from the second story in an emergency, because it takes much more time for the fire to burn through regular floor joists. Floor trusses light up like matchboxes - something to keep in mind if an emergency ever happens. There are pros and cons to both methods...very impressed with the build.

So glad to see that you have a partner to help. Im building a 2 car garage, 24 by 24 and when the time comes I’ll probably have my buddy Brandon help me with the trusses- they are so heavy lol

When I was in this kind of work, we always used extension ladders on the OUTSIDE so the durned thing couldn't fall through and crown ya.

Amazing how much faster you can do it second time around, gained from the previous experience you now have, looking good you three, you work so well together.

GREAT JOB GUYS. STAY SAFE UP THERE WHEN YOU BEGIN TO PUT UP THE WALLS.

That was a good hard days work you all did. Just lugging those heavy duty floor joists had to require a lot of effort, but you also got the sheathing down too. Thats awesome, bet you slept good that night after retiring from a hard day's work. Looking great.

Nice work but, as a farm-boy, I have a lot of uncles who died in tractor related incidents. If you're gonna lift subfloor sheets, strap them securely to the bucket (there's nothing to stop them from sliding down the arms, over the engine cowling and right up against your guts. Tractors are pretty much homicidal. If you let your guard down for an instant, they'll end you. They show how they use straps later in the video.

You guys are getting so many comments about safety. This is serious stuff that you should really address. Love your videos and construction build and it looks really nice. Almost looking like pro's for sure. All it takes is one simple slip or misstep and everything comes to a grinding halt. Sure wish you guys would abide from just a few changes to safety protocol. Especially now that you are on the second story. It gets real once up at that height. Look forward to next video with a new taller A-Frame ladder and some hard hats, safety goggles.

Who knows - might get lucky, (have been so far) but as your followers we would all prefer not to see any of you have a serious accident.

Of course, Mr. Martin, it's wobbly, as you're building a structure which needs to be complete as different pieces do tie others together giving them stability. As you build the wall frame, it's like noodles, it bends, twists and flaps in the wind... With sheathing you give it stability in one direction, with trusses and upper floor it becomes a compact structure. Anyway, you got a pretty long span in between walls, so I'm positive it will be wobbly a little even sheathed.. =) It's a wooden house, wood has a high elasticity coefficient, also steel has a nice elastiicty, concrete is very not elastic.. Cheers and keep up the good work..
