Another great video, I'm a disabled Marine and haven't been able to work since 2011, I did all types of construction, framing, bridge work, parking garages, tons of concrete forms, it just sucks to not be able to work, and enjoy the company. So your videos are kind of like greatly appreciated. I get to go to work with you all for a little while, through these awesome videos. Thanks for sharing. 😊

You guys have such a great team. Something about the "O's" (Arlo and Johno). Strong quiet types have little to say but tons to offer. Thanks for sharing all the lessons.

Man. Eric you are just a great boss. Someone I would love to work for one day. And I can only hope to be half that when I have my own crew

[carlustownsend]

Great going guys just love your content. Jamie explained everything clearly so everyone can understand the whole process.

[tylerrainville]

As an electrician i love that you guys are considering light switching during the framing. Sometimes framing makes it near impossible to do anything that makes sense switching wise. Really open houses can be a problem as well, because there isn't a whole lot of interior space to put switches, outlets, etc.

I never thought you could get addicted to a youtube channel. But I have great videos keep it up!

[JoshuaOshaughnessy]

The advert you plugged gives us a sneak peak of what’s to come 👀.
It’s looking great as always.

Wow so much planning ahead.like that light switch spacing between studs so on ur way out to the deck u can fip on the light switch.

[chuckmigrain]

it's nice to hear "thanks for building with us today" else how would i know it's LOL great guys and content

[Mixwell]

Didnt know there were pre cut wall studs until i moved to TN and grabbed some from Lowes with some osb to make garage shelves and the osb was hanging over. Went back another say and sure enough i grabbed a 92 5/8 instead of a full 2x4x8...

Where i used to live i went to HD and knew the lumber area which didnt have the precuts next to the full 8fters so I never had this issue. Now I know to double check.
