A lesson about Wall Sheathing in Residential Construction - TEACH Construction Trades Training

My husband and I are building a house. This channel is invaluable. Thank you!

Good info. May I make a suggestion? You typically build the wall on the deck - studs and plates. Square it while it's lying down, then sheath it while it's still horizontal. Now when you tip it up, it's still square and sheathed. No climbing ladders with a 4x8 sheet, nor renting scaffolds.

I think you are amazing how you explain things, probably this is the best channel on youtube. Everything is put together so well. Congratulations.

I am a carpentry student. Your video is informative, easy to understand, and well-organized. It helps a lot! Thank you!

Love the scale models. Really helps visualize the big picture.

With so many people on You Tube giving bad advice while claiming they are experts it's refreshing to see Joe giving accurate information that will pass framing inspection. The debate for using either osb or fir plywood for wall sheathing has been going on for years, for structural strength I would give the edge to osb and for weathering to fir plywood. More important than that is to use 7/16" for a minimum thickness, I think 3/8 is too thin and 7/16 is just a bit more money. This is a little off topic but for subfloors I think the best product is 3/4" premium T&G osb, it's denser, heavier and more rigid than fir plywood which is exactly what you want for a floor.

he reminds me why I love the metric system

Woohoo, after listening to you, I now know what the lines on OSB mean. My master didn't tell me before, maybe my master doesn't know either. Every time I drive a nail, I have to draw lines to set the nail on the Studs. thank you very much.

Just found these. Joe Carswell makes things easy and is a great presenter.

Simplicity at its finest. Thank you, so much to learn its awesome thank you so much for taking the time to teach 😊

I live in Japan and am doing my own renovations to a very old farm house. The biggest problem I have is sourcing materials to do this work; while there is a large Home Depot style store in town, it carries little to nothing of what I need. No vapor barrier material, no vapor barrier tape, no decent OSB or plywood sheathing, no siding material, and no window assemblies. It is without a doubt the biggest problem in my projects. Your channel has been very informative. Thank you very much.

I love these mini scale models this is the best carpentry channel

Thank you for these videos. I have subscribed. Very clear and informative and well explained.

I'm taking my architecture registration exams and have found this information very helpful. Thank you!

The Best teacher

Amazing channel. I've learned a lot from these videos, thank you.

Great video. I just finished Timber structural design course, and your videos helped me visualize how things work.

Thank you. I’m about to redo the sheathing and cladding on my house and I’m starting from square one. Thank you. After this I’m moving on to tyvek house wrap. I’m in the Dallas area of North Texas.

Love your content and learning so much from them.. Thank you mate Plz make a video for what comes after the sheating (vapor barrier, insulation, dry wall, cladding etc)

Thanks for the information. As a DIYer, I always wondered why people put sheathing sideways.
