- I’m starting the largest and most expensive single project I have ever attempted. We are attempting to transform our backyard into the ultimate hangout spot. It all starts in this video with the main attraction: a roof built over the existing concrete patio.
Part 2: • DIY Covered Patio Part...
Patio Furniture: • MODULAR! DIY Outdoor P...
The design I came up with is a little different from many others that I have seen in the fact it uses trusses and only partially connects to the house. I share my process of digging the foundation, setting posts, installing beams, hanging trusses, and the roofing process. I made great progress late in the summer but then it slowed when I went back to teaching. In part 2 I will do all of the finishing work including electrical, wrapping the posts & beams, tongue and groove, fascia, soffit, gutters, and downspouts. Then in future videos there will be many more projects that aim to totally transform our backyard.

Thank for watching! Part 2: ua-cam.com/video/3ypFFR-IxFc/v-deo.html shows the final product and price breakdown. Here is the patio Furniture I built for the space: ua-cam.com/video/glrXdJPVZLQ/v-deo.html . Your comments have been great, thanks for the feedback and thoughts!
As a G.C.who has been in the trades for 30+years,I’m very impressed with your DIY project!Your willingness to tackle a roof tie in along with your attention to detail in your project and video is commendable!Also great to see you having your dad work along side you,I was lucky to have my carpenter father teach me all his trade secrets.Keep up the great work and look forward to seeing the next one!!Aloha from the big island!🤙🌴
It was a great job everything was perfect except for the 6x6s Post questionable talking to educated men telling you that it was okay to bury below concrete line 40 years is nothing in a building buildings last 100 plus years I I know I work on them all the time. 40 Years of short-sightedness on a main support post
@@samuelwotring633 Can't agree more then that, simply bury any wood below ground level should be avoided at all cost. Been say that, I might still use his way of setting with difference of give wood extra protection in ground with rubber wrap or some EZAC glued over below ground part. Why is that, cause setting post above required cross structural supports braces
and in this implementation will be hard to achieve similar final look result.
So far so good . Well done ! Congrats ……
My brother stay in Hilo.Big island is beautiful!
Trade secrets should be taught as much as possible. Now it is possible thanks to technology to reach a large audience.
I think having your Dad there helping is such a blessing. It’s nice to have an extra set of hands and two heads are better than one when doing a new task. Beautiful job 👍👏 Maybe next time you need to reroof this house it will be you and your son working together and your Dad supervising. 😃

Listen Friend, there is nothing... to be embarrassed about. You're a humble guy, that is obviously a good teacher, that has his priorities in order. Thankful your Father was there to be a part of it all.
Luke 12:48 - states, "From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked."
Keep up the great work !!
Don't be embarrassed on how long the project takes you are a working dad. The project looks great can't wait to see the end result.
Very nice project, young man. Even though you frequently reminded viewers that you were not a professional carpenter, you still did a splendid job of doing things well and with lots of desire to doing what was correct. Your final result will surely be something you can be proud of, and a big thanks to dad I am sure. You can't beat good ole dad's help and guidance.
Thank you very much! You have that correct and it's hard to find good help these days! 😂
Good job!!! I’m an old retired builder, you went about the job very thoughtfully and with reason. Regardless of any critique somebody might make, you did do a fine job of it.
You did a better job than most contractors. Just well thought out and executed.
You’re a beast brother!!!!!!
The only thing I didn’t agree with was back filling the 6X6 posts with dirt.
I would of went with concrete (with a few long screws running through the posts before back filling with concrete for extra support).
I’m a GC and have seen these posts rot within 8-10 years. Not only that, termites will destroy any wood, pressure treated or not.
Other than that, your project looks great!!!!!🤙🏼😎
You never put concrete around wood post the acid in concrete rots the wood within 15 years
moisture in the dirt will rot the post in 10
Don't apologize for delays. Life happens. People appreciate your honesty and straight forwardness. It's real life;not a show.
The skill of "non-professional" DIYers whether working on cars or construction, is amazing.
Do not apologize! Starting a family is hard work. Your time is your most valuable asset right now. You’re working, raising a family, marriage, dealing with illnesses, making content, and life gets in the way. Investing your time to create a great space for your family to enjoy for years to come is a pleasure to watch, and I’m a fan. Keep doing the best you can each day and it’ll add up to a great home and great life. It’s nice to see a creative producer instead of entitled taker. God bless.
Hello from Australia, you should feel very proud of what you achieved, shout out to your dad for his help. You do not need to apologise, life has a habit of slowing down the best laid plans. I hope you make more of these videos. I am looking forward to more backyard renovations. Cheers from 🇦🇺
Thanks I really appreciate it! Awesome to hear from Australia!
Great video, was a high school construction teacher. I personally don't put wood posts in the ground anymore. I did a very similar project and poured concrete posts about 3 feet high and 18x18 inches. Going to put stone on them to dress them up. Don't be embarrassed at slow progress, you saved a ton of money.
I have been building for 40 years, and I am impressed how you handled this project. You obviously did your homework before you got started. Very nice job.👍 Oh, If you ever tackle another shingle roof, the feet on the roofing nail gun are adjustable. You simply set the feet under the bottom edge of the lower shingle, and rest the shingle in hand down on the face of the safety/tip of the gun. That will give you the correct and consistent spacing. Depending on which shingles you use will determine the spacing. Metric shingles typically are 5 5/8" and ASE are 5". For some reason the west coast uses the metric shingles which are 1 meter or 39 3/4"x 13 1/4", where the east coast uses SAE shingles which are 1 yard or 36" x 12". Don't ask, because I have no idea why. Anyway That a great job you did! 👍
We can't wait to see updates on your project!
Im a 66 yo pretty serious diy guy. Your work is outstanding! A couple of things I would share with you; 1. The ice shield in your case is totally unnecessary. The purpose of it in a house is to prevent melted ice from flowing backward as it mounds up from the drip edge back. In your case, you have no heat source under the roof to cause all of the melting there. 2. Next time you might consider building up the flying rafter at the end, and then just install it. Either way works, but building it up on the roof might be easier for you. I found it particularly satisfying that you discovered the value of using a laser, and also, that I have the same ladders that you do! I’m not sure what I would do without my laser and my expanding step ladder! Bravo mate, you “nailed” it! Edit; I had a nearly identical roofed patio on our last house and I installed steel roofing on the ceiling to cover up the trusses and finish it off. If I had it to do over again, I would insulate it first to keep it cooler on the hot days. The sun really heats up the shingles and you can really feel it down below.
You did an outstanding job, looks fantastic.. One thing that even the pros or general roofers miss is they often mount the drip edge tight to the trim. Water will follow the contour of the trim and some will get behind the gutter instead of going in the gutter. Ask me how I know. Next time around pull out about the width of finger tip. Fantastic job something to be proud of.
As someone who builds homes for a living I applaud your efforts. I can't wait to see the final product.
Thanks!
Is this some massive blow fest or something?
Excellent job! I frame houses for a living, and I am super impressed with the quality of your work!
At every point I caught myself saying " I'd have done this or that " very next part of the video there it was .... very nice work
Don't be embarrassed at all. You don't do this for a living and it looks pretty darn straight. I'm also a diyer and bought a three plane level from Milwaukee. That thing is so awesome I'm using it for my deck project I'm using it for my basement remodel it's also one of my favorite tools. I look forward to seeing the completion of this project good luck.
Thanks! Love the laser!
Nothing to be embarrassed about! Your tenacity is commendable. Great work!
seeing your video def confirms i have not the skill, tools or time to tackle this type of diy project that we would live to have done at our home! looking forward to your update!
Man you're a rock star when it came to building this it is amazing how professional you are doing something that you don't do for a living don't be embarrassed or make excuses this is a fantastic fantastic freaking series job and videos great work and I will watch the last one when are the remainder when they come thanks again congratulations and a fantastic job.
That was one of the most comprehensive project for my skill level that I've seen in a while. Great job.
This is really cool. I definitely don’t agree with putting those posts in the ground without wrapping with something but if you don’t mind replacing rotten posts I guess it’s OK.
Incredible attention to detail! This is why I like doing my own projects. Without the pressure of production you can take the extra time to make everything perfect. In production I was told to build with a tolerance of 1/4 inch. I personally aim for 1/16. I’m pretty sure you are building to 1/64 or smaller lol. Amazing work and documentation.
Hahaha I hear you and there was a ton of time for thinking!
I've worked in the single family home industry for over 40 years and usual tolerances for rough framing is 1/8", which is also the width of a saw cut. Trusses are built to 1/16" accuracy tolerances. Anything smaller is for cabinetry and fine finish work.
Don't be embarrassed, you took the time you needed and life is hectic.
Thanks!
Looks great! I would have suggested staggering the OSB roof sheathing seams for future projects. I think some places it’s code for wind sheer value.
You Did Beautiful. At Least U Tried. Your Amazing Legend. Glad U Have A Supportive Family.
Very nice diy job man . A professional would be proud to say they did this .
Not only this is a great video, I love the father and son work! 🤙😎
Thanks, I am lucky that way.
Hey Brian!
Ur dad is awesome!
GL with the young one!
The integration with the existing home roof is ... amazing.
Dude, that's a freaking bomb shelter . . and your attention to detail is faultless - too bad homes are not built with such perfection ! . . . CHEERS !
Looks GREAT. This is something I’ve wanted to do as well to our back patio. But I cheated and ordered the Toja Grid system for 6x6 beams. The kit consists of 4 Trio Arm corner brackets and 4 Solo bases. I’ve found at my local lumber yard some 6x6x16’ beams that were returns and got them at a great price. Took a few weekends of cutting and staining them. It turned out pretty well. Wife’s happy. Love your project. Look forward to your next video.
Thanks I appreciate it. Your project sounds great and better the wife was happy!
Installation of first truss was ingenious
Really good video, like how detailed and well things were explained. I like the end results. @ 8:35 noisy neighbor trying to figure out what you're doing over roof line. 🤣
This is real craftsmanship. I appreciate the detailed construction as well as the explanation of why. Keep working at you own pace, undoubtedly life always plays a part in whatever project or build we are planning or working on! No need to be embarrassed. Keep on keeping on!
Fantastic job. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the process. Your attention to detail and way you explained each step made it so easy to understand. Thanks for sharing! I'm looking forward to seeing the finished project!
Pops is a beast 💪💪💪💪
WOW what an inspiration. This is so cool! I would like to DIY a covered patio on my place as well. The difference is that the back of the house is 2-story, so the roof would need to extend off of the existing one. No idea how to do that yet but I'm learning more every day. I consider myself to be pretty handy and I try to do all of my own stuff when possible. Thanks again for such a thorough video, this is really great!
Good call on designing the overhang a bit longer. When I used to build trusses we always gave it exactly what the plans asked for. Sometimes the contractor needed a bit more.
I like the way you use helpers in places, I would have to do same because I don't have friends either, they're costly.
Dude, your patio addition came out awesome. I really like the clever design you came up with joining the new section with the old..... I especially like you're the first DIYer I've seen actually use a hammer and nail on their build...😊
Those posts won’t last 40 years who ever told you that is full of sh*t, but around pads you don’t have many options to get a good finish, it’ll last maybe 15, that’s why I like pouring footers flush to concrete and installing J hook and Simson clip. Either way good job man looks great!
I looked into that as well and seems like a great way to do it. Thanks!
Yeah, ever since they took arsenic out of pressure treated lumber, it is crap when in contact with ground. Never bury wood posts.
@Lee G Different issue with no footer, if the weight of the roof is too great the posts could sink/crack the patio because they aren't supported properly. Burying the posts in the ground will cause them to rot prematurely.
don't be embarrassed. You have done an outstanding job.
Thanks!
You are doing it right. Best is that you are recording for other to learn.
Nice job! A few comments:
1. In a structural setting concrete MUST be vibrated in order to push out the air bubbles. Not vibrating the concrete means it’ll be weaker due to the trapped air bubbles and will likely crack over time.
2. LVL’s that are joined to form a support beam generally require either through-bolts or structural screws to attach them. I’ve seen it done with nails but even then it’s 3 nail (top, middle, bottom) every 8”-12”.
3. When attaching wood to metal it’s seems to be good practice to give the water a place to drain so that the bottom of the wood doesn’t rot.
Overall, well done👏🏻
I really enjoyed this video
I want one of those... "dads" you speak of... yep, quite handy, that dad you have.
Congrats on a great project. The scissor trusses made that project so much easier. You probably could get by without ice and water shield on a roof over an unheated porch but it won't hurt anything.
Doing a really good job with attention to detail. Also, don't be ashamed of it taking much longer than you thought. This happens to the best of us whether it be lack of motivation or life getting in the way.
i love to bid
Probably the most square roof out there in the world :D Great video!
Project like this is what I am doing right now in my patio and the used of scissor trusses to.
That's a great job for a weekend worrier, it doesn't look like your first rodeo with building,
8:33 that guy in the orange was REAL curious about that drone. Lol.
Easiest way to keep the roofing underlayment straight is to cut it in the middle and overlap. Not sure you needed the Ice and Water shield because the space under is not heated - BUT - I think for safety (slip resistance) it is worth it the extra effort - You did a very good job!
Very nice job, keep up the good work 👍👍👍
This was awesome. The attention to detail was astonishing.
I do like the way you and your dad started the upper rail's and putting the two runner's made it stronger than just one extra wide runner. But I would have used a board glue to seal them. (That's just my sight)
If I didn't know better, I'd think you and I do it the same way, but I hand made my own Truss's. Everything I saw is just the way I built mine. Only I did mine pretty much alone. GREAT JOB!
Great Job So Far! Stay the course, even though life has thrown you some obstacles! You got this!!!
That is an excellent how to video, I look forward to future ones.
I like how you and your dad work together to make efficient and exact. The posts are the most suspect to me. I suggest checking the moisture levels near the bottom to see if rot conditions become a concern over time. The lateral forces I hope were engineered that the post ties on top doesn’t cause the lvl’s rotate. I really like this video because it shows how to make detailed decisions.
Nicely put together video! The drone footage works well too. I did a similar project at our house, but couldn't do a full roof due to our HOA, so we built the structure as a pergola. Good luck in finishing it. It'll be worth it! Great job.
When you were setting the trusses, if it were me I would use a rolling scaffold. Some on if two are installing could move one ahead as trusses were being set. I know you have to bring the units in, but maybe a 3rd man could assist or volunteer, just a suggestion.
I think you did a great job 👍🏻 beautiful workmanship.
Man congrats I'm impressed with your attention to detail, you work how I wish I worked on my own projects. 😅
Impressive attention to detail
You did a great job. Be PROUD. I would be.
Great job....don't be so hard on yourself...life happens. Cheers from Victoria, British Columbia
Thanks! Awesome to hear from Canada!
Great job , don't kill yourself but definitely film each time you tackle a new or old project , okay ? Will be watching !!
Just watching now and wow! Well done….
Your channel will explore! I know it and I am here for the ride. You have very quality content and I like that you keep it real and on a friendly budget. That’s what clicks with the rest of us cause we don’t have lots of money to throw at things.
I really appreciate the support! Ya I don't have an unlimited budget as well, that being one of the advantages of doing stuff myself. Hopefully you will find some of my future projects interesting as well. Thanks!
That is one of the most beautifulest structures I've ever seen.
Thanks!
You have got to have roofing and construction experience. 🎊 🎉perfectly done ✔️. Great job
Very inspirational! Thank you for the dedicated time to share!😍
Great Video Bro. As you know, family needs come first. NIce to see you working with your Dad! Great quality work.
It looks great. Good job.
Thanks!
great idea at 12:04👍
First time watching, very impressed with your project, very well done.
Piss on the naysayers, sure , everybody would do it slightly different but for a non builder, your works are outstanding. Be Blessed 🙏
Excellent Job !!!
@8:30-8:40 snoopy neighbor makes a cameo appearance 😅😂
Awesome job! I gotta admit, I can't wait to see the finished product.
Thanks!
Bro you can pull every excuse you want. You totally rocked this project!
Dang, awesome work. And great job to your dad!
Looks great, sturdy and adds a lot of value. Enjoy your hard work.
Good work, I watched your DIY French Drain video a little over a year ago when I was considering how best to deswamp my back yard, today youtube decided to recommend this video to me and I was pleased to see I recognized the channel. Can't wait to see the rest of the patio whenever you release the next video about it.
Awesome! Its really cool to hear you are interested!
Wow, if teaching doesn't workout well or pay enough, you could quickly develop a reputation for top quality home addition work! :)
That blended roof was👌🏽
Thanks that was the part that worried me the most
Thanks for sharing. I love watching the progress. Looking forward for more.
Always the funnest part, filling the hole you just spent ages and a lot of sweat digging.
Def wanna c this finished bud!…looks awesome!
As a 22 year + GC, I loved your way of doing this project. The only real difference I would have recommended would have been to use a liquid waterproofing to the posts (underground) and to backfill with gravel instead of natural dirt. Minimal cost/time and overkill is always good. One other point...seems like the connection between the posts and beams is a little light, but if it was approved by your local municipality with a permit, that's what really matters.
Thanks and I understand your points
Because without saying no wood below grade. What are you going to do when the 40 plus years has expired in the it starts to fall lean how old you going to be and have to fix it. Probably too old to fix it at the hire someone.
I’ve been in construction for 400+ years and I can say you indeed built a covered patio.
You should be proud of yourself. It seems like you did your home work as a teacher, and you have all the knowledge, tools, and most of all father as a helper. It looks great, only thing I would done different is that put some nails 6 or 8 inches half way in and put some tar on the bottom of the posts to hold the cement better and protects from the water damage. Bottom line it looks great, use it in good health!
That looks great!. Nice job. You can get a receiver for the Heuepar Laser if you have the one with the pulse button on it. Then you can use it in the daylight. It can even help you shoot some basic grades in your yard when dealing with drainage issues. Great Laser.
