Framing Tips: Tying Walls Together, Window Sill Trick, Wanes in Lumber #15

We're pushing along on a 3,000SF farmhouse duplex, on a lot that is going to make the building process much more difficult. With overhead powerlines, a foundation that sits a whopping 12" away from a block wall, we've got our work cut out for us.

I’ll be in here answering questions today, happy Friday everyone! Hope you’re all doing good.

I've worked for contractors with three and four Man Crews and I've worked on track homes miss all the framing and people I've worked with. Now I work with a contractor doing bathrooms and kitchen remodels. I'm 65 still working hard. Love this trade. I love to watch your videos reminds me of all the framing and roof's I've worked on. Thanks for your videos.

From Canada to Texas to California and everybody in between. You got to be my favorite channel, probably because you're the closest to my age. Love the videos just wish they came out more. I don't necessarily watch to see something I don't know, just like to see how somebody else does it.

I don't have a question today but with all your help and a few other channels I'm confident enough to build a 30x45 gambrel garage I'm getting my plans (that I drew myself) approved then off to the lumber yard! I'm excited thank you sir

Man is a beast....true journeyman of his craft. Building million dollar homes. And he young....

I’m taking first-year architecture course in Toronto. During the semester, I’ve seen most of your videos and that was so helpful to understand building construction. Thank you very much😊

You are quick with that air gun! Amazing how calculated you are! If you ever move to Jersey City I can get you & your crew into my Local! Lol! We are building 4-5 Story Buildings! I do Heavy Gauge Metal On the 1st & second floors & it sucks! So many screws/Pins/clips etc. You are the best Matty Boy! Stay safe & get that money!

Fox was really worried about you when you asked about your funeral 😂

[weemomjustified]

Not sure why I watch these since I don’t know anything about construction but love the videos!!

Hey Matt glad you didn't start with a What's Up..We all know that the sky is up. However I must say what a super team of framers you guys are. Great video ..PS the big guy with the beard seems to be a pretty good operator. Thanks for a great video ( 82 year old Aussie builder )

I like how you bring it back to basics and ease. Like the window sill trick. I am 53 and been framing my entire adult life .i am not a good teacher and lead by example .but I do remember the old grumpy guys I learned from asking why would you pull a tape there is already a lay out on the sill plate.

[markst.martinii]

Wow first tip of the video was already well worth the view. Love the videos as always Matt

You can tell how much experience you have by how your use the tools. You seem like your a beast. Great work.

People don’t give tradesmen enough credit. You love your job and what you do isn’t easy at ALL. We need more men to appreciate a good days work like this. You’ll end up being a damn good GC one day if your not already and I hope to be on your level one day. Great work.

When you getting more merchandise I want a will frame for food sweater lol 😁

Matt, you're doing a great job, and your passion shows newbies that Carpentry is a lifelong pursuit, but that it is rewarding everyday.
Watch the life of your Router Bits in that Makita Router. I've had tracer bearings drop right off the bit due to wobble, and then you're unprepared and off balance if you're standing. But then, as a part-time Carpenter, I'm not as good as you. Or that young anymore.

Wife asked her husband to take her somewhere expensive for dinner, he took her to the lumberyard.

[DavidFreelandAZ]

I love your explanations and the views from the drone. bang on.

Salt. Had the same thing happen to me when working in Florida in 04', I was drinking plenty, but I needed more salt. I opted for PayDay bars. After that, no problems. Salt tablets work too, but I prefer PayDays.
