I’m getting ready to frame the front porch on our new house- let’s start by putting down the pressure-treated bottom plates.
The walls on this porch are 2×8 with one section that narrows down to 2×6.
I notch this area out and cover the area I notched with zip tape to protect it from any moisture.
I also staple a layer of sill seal to the bottom of the plates.
Because this porch is sloped, I’m going to frame these walls in place and use a laser to cut each stud to the exact height.
Next, I drill pilot holes with my hammer drill and use masonry screws to fasten down the plates.
Because this porch will have pavers installed on it, I add a second layer of plate to get the pressure treated lumber up even higher.
Finally, I use Simpson Titans to anchor both plates to the concrete slab below.
I start by drilling ½” pilot holes and then I use my impact to drive them home.
I put the bolts 4 foot on center and stay in from the ends at least 7 times the diameter of the bolt, roughly 4 inches.
Now the plates are down, and we can start framing the walls. If you enjoy this content be sure to like and subscribe for more. @hausplans

those are not going anywhere 😁
How time flies! It seems like just yesterday that you were pouring the foundation! 😂😊
Shouldn't the bottom plates have sill seal ?
Just out of curiosity, why Zip tape for protection for the wood but wrap for the house instead of Zip system? I love your content because of your thoroughness (and The New Guy), and I figured there's a reason in the use of disparate products. Thank you.
It's gonna be beautiful man
God damn. Start using thermal insulation. Because Siberia has moved over Canada and the USA.
Is this called framing or is there a special name for it , serious question
That wood is so full of nasty stuff, so it will take very very look time to rot.. if that is even possible.
Used to work in recycling, and the smell of that stuff compared to normal wood, when it got crushed to pieces. No bueno
That's a heavy extensive process for some bottom plates. Where i'm from, it's one layer with some tap cons, and that's that good work you guys
Jesus Christ the size of those bolts, that ain't going anywhere!
My god you build stuff crappy.
Hey so I see you videos a lot , what is it you do ? Are you a Foreman, super independent, independent contractor. Do you own the business ? Cuz I see you build houses but not sure if you work for the big builders or just do contract work for private owners ? What do you do exactly
Love watching. Thanks for sharing❤❤
Frame it? Whats it done?
Should be using a drill for the bolts at the end
Cardboard house….ready for next typhoon….2 million of dollars of paper
That looks like 1 inch bords right? Why not use a 2×6 or 2×8 instead of slapping 2 1×6 or 1×8 together? Dosnt that just create more surface for condensation to build up?
No wonder your houses are immediately destroyed in every major storm. In Europe, you'd never be allowed to build a wooden house like that. Using wooden boards as foundation beams is truly the stupidest thing you could think of.
We really don't care, where is the dog
Oh how I 😍 love men
Thiccccc bolts
Mate, those Simpson Titan masonry bolts would cost about USD 16 to 20 each in Australia.
