Old House Remodeling Project Part Two - Foundation And Framing Tour
This video is the second part of a series on remodeling an older house. It takes viewers on a tour of the house framing, explaining what a home might look like if built with rough sawn lumber in the 1940s and 1950s.
Greg also provides tips on how to remodel an older home, such as how to remove the foundation, install the floor joists, and frame the walls.
Here are some bonus tips from the video:
When remodeling an older home, it is important to be aware of the different construction methods that were used back then.
For example, older homes often did not have treated lumber or anchor bolts.
We also recommends using redwood for the sills in homes that were built in California during this time period.
When installing the ceiling joists, the speaker recommends using a strong back to help keep the joists straight.
Greg also recommends using collar ties to help support the roof rafters.
Finally, the speaker recommends using a one by six ridge board to help support the barge rafters.
