"So You Wanna Save Time Rake Wall Framing Simplified Now its time to start building exterior walls. I like to start with the largest walls because they take up the most room. This is a rake wall that is 32' long 5-12 roof pitch (slope) and will be fully sheathed and overhangs added before we lift it. This video covers lay out and framing the wall. https://www.finehomebuilding.com/project-guides/framing/a-better-way-to-build-tall-walls Please remember that I'm not showing the best way to do anything but just the method that works well for us.

"Are You For Serious Skip the Overlaps and Strap #shorts Instead of overlapping and underlapping we just strap our walls together. There are a few reasons for this. I can cut all [--] plates at the same time with the beam so so they are identical. Training new guys always leads to mistakes and a lost of production. Since we frame our exterior walls as big as possible and lift them in with the forklift we don't notch the plates. This keeps the wall stiffer during lift. All our interiors get strapped to the exterior anyway. The IRC requires [--] nails at laps and allows for strapping. I use the CSHP"

"Simple Sider vs Pan Flashing for Siding Joints #comparison #contractor #tools Two ways to handle butt joints on LP SmartSide lap siding. 🛠 Method 1: Use the Simple Sider to leave a 3/16" gap and fill it with a high-quality sealant. Method 2: Our preferred "no-maintenance" approach. We still use the Simple Sider for that 3/16" gap but we add pan flashing behind the joint and double-paint the factory ends.
