Plumbing is a good thing to know about. IT is a very big part of the trades . And to know something about it is something that almost every one should know about. BILL ZEEDICKS AND THE BIG BLUE COLLAR 💙 😎 🎶 😍 ♥️ 👌 💙 CATS 🐈 😻 🐈‍⬛️ 💙 😀 😄 🐈! .....

0:14 Plumber didn't cut anyyyyything As it shows a truss floating in mid air because the plumber cut the plate and removed a stud. Guy trying to promote his products more than talk about the trusses, useless.

at 9:14 where can I buy that shower floor part? TYIA

Face mount Dovetail connectors have been around for a long time in the Mass timber industry. Simpson is newer to the mass timber market. I prefer these Simpson hangers over Sherpa or Rothoblaas concealed face mount hangers. They seem competitive with Knapp, and Pitzl hangers. Simpson does have great whitepapers for their hangers. For timber screws again Simpson is newer to the market. Their options differ from more established brands which make them more difficult to specify when not used with simpson products. Often we say that builders can take their pick between Heco, Assy, GRK, Spax or Schmid, but for Simpson we have to specify specifically. I see them on smaller projects as some of them can be sourced quickly at local hardware stores. A nice point for the Simpson exterior screws is that as they are not galvanized, they can often be used where SS screws might normally be required when in coastal areas or with woods that react and stain with HDG screws.

Haas is vender that makes the best garage doors on the market, (my opinion). I installed 2 steel back sandwich doors on my home, and noticed a huge difference in temps throughout the year. The insulted doors will help maintain whatever the temperature is in the garage. And they are a very durable door, they do not dent as easy and you won't have to worry about the vinyl/foam insulation tearing or puncturing.

I have wondered why windows are not made with a lucite like product instead of glass as lucite is better at insulating and sound attenuation. Also the lucite can vary greatly in it's thickness to increase those positive attributes. The huge windows you are showing have around an R 10 rating which frankly is impressive for a window but not impressive in comparison to an R 30 wall.

I figured it would work great for Texas summer to help bring the levels down.

I totally agree with you on an indoor fireplace being an air sieve. You're not going to have a super tight home if you have one. I've always enjoyed having a fireplace, but when you consider the energy loss and ultimately the pollution burning wood creates, I don't really have a desire for one anymore. It's one thing when we need an open fire to cook to eat or heat to survive, but another when it's just for ambiance and it's adding pollution to the atmosphere. I know having one's personal fireplace going doesn't sound like much of an issue, but multiply that by a million others going at the same time and it adds up. When we are doing it all over the world on multiple nights a week you can see how it adds to air pollution exponentially. As cozy as a fireplace has always seemed, I'm not sure they have as much value today, given the cost to build and the cost they will take on our shared environment.

It is just me or every time he mentions that he will put a link to the product or to the video he mentions, there are absolutely no links at all here besides the sponsors, which have nothing to do with this house.

Two bone heads at there best

Thank you for this video! I found all of the positive comments about attic fans so helpful and they convinced me to install one!

Tyvek dry rots. Took siding off a renovation and the Tyvek was falling apart. On another job, a house built in 1947 with wood siding, the siding was starting to dry rot. after the siding was off the tar paper was 100% secure and sound, keeping the moisture out of the wall. AMAZING. I recently put Hardie Board on my own house, so I put 4 coats of exterior enamel on both sides of the siding to seal it, then on install used 45ln tarpaper as a moisture barrier, then caulked the back edges and overlap of the Hardie board to seal it up. I't been on the house now for 12 years and no cracks anywhere. Chris Callaway, TECS Insulation, Richland Hills TX

Hi Matt. Do you have a good resource for fastening standards in the narrow edge of LSL/LVL wall framing studs. Weyerhaeuser offers some bulletin information for beams but I don’t see anything with them or versa-studs relating to screw fastening allowances needed exterior insulation details.

Huber zip in north to bento,ate? What the heck Matt? Huber zip,properly taped is NOT vapor [permeable !!!

no copper pipes anymore even in Switzerland?

Why are the windows already installed?

Crawl spaces should be outlawed. Slab or basement. No more of this in between bs

MAN those burgers look GOOOOD.

What about furnace vents and wood burner stacks?

All for the low low price of $3,000 per window and manufactured outside of the country.

Surely higher ceilings collect the heat and enable it to be moved sideways by passive venturi style apertures?

I don't know exactly who the audience for this channel is. Ultra wealthy people just pay people to do this stuff so they don't need to be watching this. Maybe high-end builders can learn something here. All the stuff Matt teaches is pretty good but really it's not practical for most of us. I do the best that I can when I build or remodel but if you go through all the paces he's gone through you would spend a fortune. He goes into all these great details using sip wall systems and sip wall roofing and layers upon layers of things and organizing everything perfectly. Do you have any idea how much all this stuff costs? He's not telling you this. Just try it. You better have a big bank account or make half a million dollars a year!

Hi Matt I just have a question, I just moved to a townhouse yesterday and the water heater is rinnai and is set to 140 but the highest water temperature is only 32 degree celius. It was so cold for shower so frustrating. How can I increase the water temperature? Thank you

If we're talking about longevity why use PT in any of the outdoor applications if we can use fiberglass sustainable lumber.

I don't understand the point of this video. Judging by the title I thought it was going to compare two houses both with ducts and HVAC equipment in the attic but one with an unvented conditioned attic and the other vented and not conditioned. But no, the vented, unconditioned attic has neither ductwork nor HVAC equipment in the attic. So no like to like comparison. If I were building a house from scratch, I would never put ductwork and HVAC in any attic or unconditioned space. But since I am stuck with my ductwork and HVAC system in a vented attic, I would have liked to have heard alternatives to sealing and conditioning the attic.

Three times lol lol try five times the money That's the Cadillac lol More like around 600 to $700 depending on what one you get when you're pushing 800 to $1,000 a door complete in a house that can run some money real quick

6:10 oh wow. where did you get that screw driver!? ;-)

Where is the insulation?

Can you flash and batt the attic? Cuz that’s where the sapping heat comes from. 🔥

BFS - - train and educate your stores. This is a wonderful tool, so I ran down to my local BFS supply house and they had no clue. Said it would be years until they seen a working product......(

Not a very good build with that outside instead of plywood

Sharkbite has saved me in so many repairs. Repairs get very costly when a house is plumbed wrong, and it can be difficult to find honest repairmen. With that said, the PTC introduced me to the other methods that i also now use, but the PTC allows for easier installation in confined spaces, or by disabled personnel. I am no expert but still learned some things in this video. Thank you for covering so many types of connectors and the tools needed.

What are the steps re flashing a window opening? I assume you apply Zip Stretch Tape or Liquid Flash to the framed opening; then install the window and apply Zip Flashing Tape to the exterior of the window; and then install InSoFast panels onto Zip System. Are those the steps? Is any additional flashing installed on top of the InSoFast before bricks or clapboards are installed?

Matt, I’m sure your architect (stevebaczek?) might say something, but I’ve watched enough post frame structures to say this is a modified post frame Barndo! I wonder what Kyle Stumpenhorst may say. ❤️👌🏻❤️‍🔥👍🤷🏻

Sealed, insulated saltbox with an "overroof". That's *exactly* what I did for my major remodel in 2017 for the exact same reasons: maximizing continuity of the insulation and barrier. Very unusual, but I'm quite happy with the resulting look and thermal performance. Super cool to see others trying this approach.

Putting windows in at that stage seems a little premature

Being an owner builder isn’t for everyone for sure, but if you’ve been in the construction industry for a while you can pull it of, I’m an electrician with an electrical contractor lic. Owner builder and haven’t had any issues, also now a lot of trades guys so maybe that’s helped a lot.

I bought my windows from Euroline in BC and it was one of the best investments in the house. Only issue is window treatments, there are a few options out there but they are alll very expensive.

I've used a lot of Simpson hardware, and they make great hangers and screws. I like all of this hardware except those concealed aluminum hangers. I don't like the fact that you cannot inspect the structural properties of the connection to see if enough screws were used and if the right screws were used. Once that connection is made, it seems like it would be impossible to modify or repair. With external connectors, you could always shore up a beam in 50 years if needed, remove the hardware, realign anything that might have moved, and then replace the hardware. I would not be comfortable using a concealed aluminum connector in an earthquake zone. If there's an earthquake, a fire, a tornado, a roof leak or differential building settlement, you cannot inspect if the connection hasn't been damaged. It just doesn't seem worth it. I'd much rather use external connectors that can be serviced.

Always wondered why some countries doesn’t use the attic as living space? Where I’m from that’s standard, but our roofs are steeper so there’s more inside head room and we use clay or concrete tiles that make the isolation process a lot easier as they can ventilate. Also we have the purlins resting on the side walls so we need only one rafter in the middle, that also saves a lot of space.

I’m glad you showed the wide range of products available. Some of us will never be able to justify spending 400 PER hidden beam fastener, but many other products are economical and quality products for any job.

3:15 means over $500 each, that's what it means.

😊make a video about venting through an attic. I own a town home and cant vent it directly outside. It has to go through the attic.

Dont you use expanding bolts as anchor bolts? We do that here in Denmark.

Increase the indooor fan speed to turbo or maximum lets see it.

Even after listening a few times, I really didn't understand something ,but did you say, "We could be doing this in Minnesota in January?" @2:25 ??? I could swear that's what you're saying, but just being in Minnesota in January, is totally absurd and makes no sense at all, so I must be misunderstanding.

After the beam slides into the bracket, what holds it down?

😅😅😅old stuff. Nothing new. More than 15 years on german market. Simpson strong tie

I bet they're nice and cheap too, all that machining and aluminium. Another solution looking for a problem. No, thanks. I'll wait for the stamped galvanised one or better still just use a notched doubler trim to eliminate or conceal a normal hanger.
