I'm happy to be back I don't know what day it is maybe it's day 12 on this job
and it's way longer than I ever anticipated it would take but we have
dealt with so much crappy weather here in Northern Illinois it's Friday morning
and we haven't been on site since Monday and even Monday we didn't barely put any
time in because of the stinking weather we just got done experiencing probably
the coldest weather I've ever been alive for I think negative 31 actual
Fahrenheit temperature which was uh I think we hit a negative 60 windchill so
brutal cold nobody should be working out in that for those of you that did the
linemen firefighters safety people stuff like that thank you for that service
because you got more than I do I wasn't gonna go out and it and ruin any chances
of you know I guess get frostbite they were saying for a minute frostbite
anyway we are back now it's it's better be
important
oh man never gonna make it hello its Kyle
well yeah we finally got on site and finally got machinery started and
finally gotta try and do something this week machinery barely started this
morning even though it's you know a heat wave around here and what we're doing
now you can see guys are up in the lift and putting bolts and our trusses so
they're getting those two bolts top and bottom on our heel and that is to give
us that strength I'd like a windowed side to side kind of
takes away having to do knee braces and then also we're running our Tyvek what
we call archive acquire and attic air deflectors and that's what's going to
keep the soffits from ventilating or that's gonna help soffits relented up as
your original that way when we blow in that insulation in the ceiling yes we
are blowing in the insulation and the ceiling so I always get that question
hey what are you doing in the ceiling maybe I'll be around I don't know if
I'll be around when they blow it in I guess that's just time will tell I'll
try to get over here and show you guys that fiberglass getting blown in once
you get this process done that we're working on then we'll be able to start
the ceiling and I am super excited to ceiling done because I love putting a
vaulted ceiling in
go for it
so if you haven't already go check out the video right here which is our
insulation video and how we like to insulate our buildings but if you
haven't and you don't feel like going over there this is our attic air
deflector you've probably seen it in past builds but that is ensuring that
when we blow the fiberglass insulation in our ceiling it doesn't go out into
the sockets or clogged up that area so that we can get our airflow out of our
soffits up over this attic air deflector which is this guy and up to our ridge
cap if you don't do this you're gonna probably have problems because all of
that soft it's gonna fill up with insulation you're not gonna get your
airflow and then you're gonna have issues now the other thing I want to
talk about real quick is I know I'm gonna get this question how do you get
good insulation in that scissor trust so out here at the heel all the way out of
the wall were still at 11 and a half inches and when you come in just I mean
not even six inches we're about 16 and a half inches so by putting this attic air
deflector we are unless me pack let's me pack this in this is still nice because
we've got this nice insulation barrier that's encapsulating this whole area
from ceiling to wall because this is our wall cavity with this r19 so we're
getting that full r-value out here even with the raised scissor cord trust and
they're just gonna basically you know walk these trusses we've got our wind
ties that go back and forth from end to end every eight foot so they'll be able
to just scurry up into the attic access panel that we leave in the ceiling and
they'll come right through and blow it all in with a nice consistent 12 to 15
inches for an AR 38
got most of the framing wrapped up we just got to do a little bit of
miscellaneous up here on this garage door header that's a door that's gonna
go all the way to the ceiling before it turns so that's a high lift track and
then over here we've got some window blocking that we've got to wrap up and
then that's gonna be done which is awesome because the next day we're back
we'll have all of our AC plywood I don't know if you guys know that plywood has
different grades well typically we do a BC X plywood which is a standard grade
good plywood but for another three I think there's like 350 or 375 a sheet so
around 40 bucks a sheet we went with AC plywood on this one and honestly oh my
god that's bright and honestly it's a little bit of a you know price increase
I think there was 43 sheets in the job honestly probably I don't know what's
that math 160 bucks AC plywood man why not do it it's only
160 bucks you only get one chance right the other thing we got going back here
is we just started our base trim so we're gonna run that out but we did on
this one is since we're on a foundation wall typically we're gonna make it so
that the bottom of our trim is at the bottom of our doors so our walk doors
overhead doors but since this is on a foundation wall that has a 4-inch curb
that's going to come up the wall four inches so the wall is gonna be four
inches higher than the floor hopefully that makes sense
we went with this double angle trim instead of like a base and it's going to
lap over the concrete so that you can't see it that's the goal anyway
all right there we go not a bad day for getting back starting late and we were
able to get all the framing in the building done we're wrapping up now the
Sun is setting I have a really hard time figuring out this lighting
it's either super bright with all the snow or it's dark I don't know what to
say guys I'm an amateur but hope you guys enjoyed the video make sure if you
haven't already you hit that subscribe button next video we should be getting
some steel up on the interior I've got the plywood getting delivered for the
bottom on the walls there's gonna be a 12-foot beat mezzanine going in the back
I think will probably wait until the cement is poured on the inside before we
do that which would be good because then I'll kind of come back and show you guys
you know what it looks like with a cement floor in it and stuff but we got
the sealing to put in we've got the walls to do we've got windows and doors
to trim so there's still a lot to do make sure you hit that subscribe because
this one's gonna wrap up pretty sweet and there's a lot coming down the
pipeline that I'm pretty excited to share with you guys so we'll see you
guys on the next one thank you for the support
you
