One by four let-in brace put in for plumb and line. Not required. Exterior hurricane clips may not be required per engineer requirements, see plan. Pony wall in attic may not be load bearing but for dividing space see plan for framing notes.
Just found your channel...I like your style. I'd rather hear birds and traffic drone, than chirpy tweedlebop music!
anchor bolts..
When the plumber cut the wind sheer did the plumber have to pay to correct his mistake or is that now the contractor's problem?
Called a concrete anchor a Ramset
I learned a few things from your video Lynn.💯🙏 Thank you. I also enjoy reading the comments. There are quite a few experienced and learned viewers. Cheers from East Canada, Prince Edward Island. ☺🇨🇦.
I don’ listen to woman about construction advice try..
The fireplace - "oversight" by the installers. I call it laziness. It's not like they didn't do anything to screw the bottom too. The problem is when you go to these "fireplace" distributors, they rarely have a crew that works directly for them and will sub out the "install" to a handyman who most likely doesn't even know what the IRC is.
Are you related to Ellen Degeneres?
Man, these ordinances are ridiculous!
Is she confused about what a ramset is? She is pointed at anchor bolt and calling it a ramset which is a powder fastener. I don't think she knows what she is talking about.
🤮
if the paper the Note how can there be a loan when you can sell and trade Notes doesnt notes have value to
that's not what a ram set is. lol
Is payment withheld from the trades until inspections passes? How do you get them to come back if they’ve been paid, pay again?
Making up mistakes
As for the stairs go those are only temporary the permanent ones will be installed later.
We leave the gas fireplaces loose on the base so we can adjust its position slightly after gyprock. As well that securing tab is used to secure the fireplace to the pallet in the warehouse/transportating. As well some brands when fixed down completely tend to rattle when the fan activates.
Awesome video Lynn! I think you meant J bolts and red Heads?
A lot of these seems like insane overkill......house will probably be safe and livable without all this nonsense....probably why housing costs is constantly going up.
Just saying, those are not ramset. Those are sill anchors. Epoxy threaded rods. Usually either Simpson XP or Hilti. Ramset is concrete nailing (with gun). Pass it on.
Great video Lynn. The information is detailed. Just FYI a Ramset is the device that puts concrete nails through the bottom plate into the concrete.
What building code do you use ?
4:20 that’s funny because most commercial applications, you can only anchor into the drywall so the rail or holder gets ripped out incase someone tries to hang themselves. The world we live in…
Good video. You look really good in that shirt too.
52 yrs architect and builder in 4 states NEVER heard of some of this. Is this code??????
No. Those bolts are NOT called Ramsets. They're called anchor bolts. Specifically, in that application, likely J-bolts. Ramsets are tools used to fire .22 caliber shells called shots and those shots drive what are called pins.
Good info... TU.. Thank god for honest and professional inspectors . wonder how many screw-ups they made on my house that's gone unnoticed by third rate inspector..
please send me a copy of the check list
9:00 The big No No is whoever designed that house. It has nothing with the plumber The wall should have been 2x6. The rack support (which that wall is not) should have never crossed a plumbing run. The layout is bonkers. The plumber literally did exactly what he was suppose to do. Your designer and framer are to fault. Any framer worth their salt would have adjusted well before plumbing. This video is garbage
Interesting information 🤔. Good video. Thank you
I wish you did my framing. My house is being built in Santa Rita Ranch. It’s terrible!
Where have you gone. Great content.
I enjoyed learning from you, your crew and the inspector. Nice work throughout.
I found mistakes, showed the inspectors, and they just laughed. I showed them a truss in my house that has 2500 lbs hanging from 60 teeth of gusset nail plates, from a single 2x4! And it passed. I called the engineer who designed the truss and said the software showed that it passed. I don't care what software that is, it's wrong. You do not hang 2500 lbs from a single 2x4 stud in tension. Ever! Out here, the inspectors pockets are lined by the builders.
Do you shim all trusses to the top plate walls and headers and stair step treads to stop settling of Sheetrock ?

What specifics will inspectors look for on those LVLs?
What you talking about blah blah blah
lady in red looks like a austin liberal>>>>
lol 3:23 is the difference between a real builder with experience vs. someone with a piece of paper and there name written on it. You may call it a little mistake, but to call an embedded anchor bolt a ramset shows a clear lack of true understanding of how things are built and whats really going on.
I learned a few things.
R-25 for a roof is mediocre. Wish there was a better solution than spray foam that gets closer to the R-60 value for passive house rating.
Take bull by horns go all in just kidding
That anchor bolt is not a Ramset it's an anchor bolt. A Ramset is a brand name tool used to shoot pins/nails into concrete or steel. Ramset pins are a nail with a washer shot into the concrete with a Ramset tool to fix the plate to the concrete in most states you can do this only with partition walls. Shear, and perimeter walls require anchor bolts in every state. Some states also require 3" x 3" plate washers, slotted plate washers require a round washer unless using a Titen concrete screw. Plate washers must be centered within sill plate and cannot be hanging over. Anchor bolts can not be closer than 1" from the edge of the sill or sole plates, and have to be between 4" to 12" from the end of any plate or split in any plate, and a minimum of two ABs per single length of plate. Distance between ABs is determined by the Engineer for specific loads. Make sure you read your plans. If you are missing ABs no problem just drill and use all thread and epoxy, or Titen HD concrete bolts. Confirm with your State, County, City. Most of what I stated is from the strongest codes in the country; Los Angeles, and this is a tough as it gets. Unless you get an ass for an Inspector like in Anaheim CA and he calls you on an 1/8", like one did after I signed off on a sill plate inspection as a Deputy Inspector (also called a "Special Inspector").
First upload in 4 years! Keep uploading please. We need more women building channels. ✌️
Why?
Nice video. It would have been much better to have a follow-up one, showing the corrections already made.
Thanks for sharing. I'd be curious about any insulation corrections on the next phase.
