My grandad was a blacksmith in western Pennsylvania and said that when framed a house with green hemlock and hand cut nails that the wood shrinks and clings around the nail and won’t let go, and you can’t pull the cut nails out. Good luck finding cut nails in this day and age.
a wormdrive saw a must with fresh real size milled lumber. milled and building as i go for like the tenth shed now. love it, except form my poor back.. lol
Had me one of them Makita pseudo-worm drive saws. Worst saw I ever bought in over half a century of building. Won't go into the reasons why, but was glad when I got rid of it. I do however love the new Milwaukee pseudo-worm drive 18v.
It was dry by the time we closed it in. We started building in early spring closed it in in November. They spray foamed the walls and ceiling in December. The spray foam guys check the moisture levels in the framing before they will spray.
Worm drive saws are the best for cutting roof rafters. As for the green lumber, get it under roof and all the sheathing installed. Cover everything with 30# felt paper and just leave it sit for about 6 months.
got the same issue with trusses right now with the price of lumber its crazy.... might have to mill up some green 2x12 and now i know it can be done! :)
Those tools should be tied off to the roof so if they fall they wont get damaged. 😎 That is one stout build you got going on there. That place is build like a brick shit house. Well done guys.
Bondo.... you said those were fresh cut. What is the moisture content? Are you going to dbl up the rafters on either side of the dormer? Go make some rebar protectors will ya.
It varies from state to state and inspector to inspector, but my understanding is that inspectors have a lot more discretion to approve native timber than most people think. I found this explanation very eye-opening: ua-cam.com/video/cQ0yqjidFEY/v-deo.html.
In my area we have no building codes, permits needed or inspectors! I usually build stronger than code or at least to code but love how I can do things when and how I want without being on someone else's schedule!
I have a bunch of rough cut drying in the garage for 4 months now and it's still at 12%. It has shrunk a lot. I imagine this whole roof will pull away from the nails and collapse.
These big boys should have an EMT standing by. But I admire their willingness to tackle a tough job. Same old thing though, the youngest guy does a lot of looking around.
Wood will shrink a lot across the width of the grain, but hardly shrinks at all along the length. I expect to lose 1/8” per foot of width when lumber dries. You might get a 1/16” of shrinkage on a 20’ length.
Just a technical question: stud walls with girts and rafters with purlins. Is this cheaper that post frame? Thanks. Looks great though. You guys have a fun crew and your subscriber base continues to grow.
tought working in the weather...too hot, too cold, too wet, short days, long days, dang...no wonder the new generation is not willing to become tomorrow's builder's...the new guy's will never buy and own a house, because of unstable tax return's...

That's nicely built.
Thanks 😊
Love the rough sawed lumber, looking good!
"Bondo's stabin cabin"😜
Thanks but its not my camp. LOL 😊
What a great project!
I'm not a fan of stick built houses but for being stick built this is very strong looking.
As a nearly 300lb carpenter myself I can relate to the 16" centre problem 😊

Beautiful big beams😊
The ol cabins looking pretty good thare Bondo👍. look's like big pappa done ya right on the rafters👌
Great video Bondo the building is looking great.
Great job to you and your crew!
Thanks Dave. 👍😊
Wish I could hand you my speed square I have about eight of them😅 you guys are doing an awesome job
"That's what she said " 🤣🤣🤣 great video and narration by far.
Good to see your versatility to do more than concrete. Nice banter between the crew!
And the award for the safest end grain cut with a big ass saw goes to bondo.
I'm no carpenter, but I would of checked one or two of those rafters for fit before I cut all of them. Measure twice--cut once!
Looks awesome but it is going to shrink like wool a sweater in the drier.
It was dry by the time we closed it in. We started building in early spring closed it in in November. They spray foamed the walls and ceiling in December. The spray foam guys check the moisture levels in the framing before they will spray.
That is BEAUTIFUL timber work ! :)
Thanks Richard. 😊
I could hear Karl letting out a grunt when he loaded Big Biscuit 😂
It's coming together nicely. Very jealous of all your toys man, oh and your hat lol.
Thanks bud. 😊😂
Worm drive saws are the best for cutting roof rafters.

What do have all senior citizen's working for you ?
No just a few good old boys. You can gain a lot of knowledge by hanging around with older craftsmen.
working with green lumber now to build our camp. Definitely kills batteries on my cordless circular saw.
It's the dirt to door knobs crew.👍
👍😊
Thumbs up for now will watch later
Thanks Kevin. 😊
Sorry I meant ED. 😊
I just realized the date on this you guys have already completed this long ago😅
I think the Amish would have used some ropes on the ends of those beams to slide in place 👍
Ya I’m sure LOL
Looking good
Thanks Andy. 👍😊
got the same issue with trusses right now with the price of lumber its crazy.... might have to mill up some green 2x12 and now i know it can be done! :)
Blows with the wind House! 😁🤔
Very nice build
That building is as strong as Fort Knocks.
I dont think its going anywhere. 👍😊👊
Your saw-man should be wearing saftey goggles.
looks like an Australian hat
Bud light means batch you don't like it go home than. This message not directed to your loved ones. Thx for the videos
you guys need to sell shirts. like the big biscuit T-shirt
Ya I know we do. 👍😊
Those tools should be tied off to the roof so if they fall they wont get damaged. 😎
That is one stout build you got going on there. That place is build like a brick shit house. Well done guys.
Thanks 👍
@@bondobuilt386 Forgive me. I was being sarcastic about the tools. Glad to see you guys are NOT tied off. Being smart is better than a rope.
@@lightning9279 Thanks. Having perlings to walk on helps alot. 👍
How are they going to allow for it to sreank
We framed it in the spring and left it open until fall then closed it in. It dried all summer.
Have you noticed any problems building with green?
Thanks
None but we frame it in spring and it got closed up in fall so it all had time to dry out.
Bondo.... you said those were fresh cut. What is the moisture content? Are you going to dbl up the rafters on either side of the dormer? Go make some rebar protectors will ya.
They were like 100% moisture content uncle Jim. we had to air dry them so we could handle them better. LOL
So is the plan to dry the place in and then let the lumber dry out?
You could use a beam saw
Tried ripping fresh cut 1 by 10 on my table saw. Swelling up against the blade made it impossible.
sticker it up where the wind and sun will get to it for a week or two it will make it much easier to work with. 👍
@@bondobuilt386 Yup. Stacked it outside with spacers to let it dry a bit. The 16 by16 shed looks great.
@@jeffsmith4525 awesome👍
How do you like that skilsaw beam saw? I'm gettin ready to buy one...
How did this house turn out this is the last I’ve seen of this series #8 ?
Gotta be a pretty cool area that lets you build with rough sawn lumber! That'd give our inspectors the grins around here.
Sam Its crazy because its better lumber. I;m glad they allow it with these lumber prices.

It's funny how like they're hardly listening to the camera lady.😂
Board and batten siding I'm guessing.
What’s your opinion of superior walls
Good video! I watched all the way through. I have one question though. Did you get those Purlins up? ;-)
Did the mad neighbor put up tje silt fence
I was just thinking the same thing. LMAO!!
No Carl did it. The guy we are working for. LOL
@@bondobuilt386 Carl the Kubota doesn't like the mad neighbor. LOL. Beer thirty. Have a good one!!
I have a bunch of rough cut drying in the garage for 4 months now and it's still at 12%. It has shrunk a lot. I imagine this whole roof will pull away from the nails and collapse.
Nah. It'll be fine. We've built plenty of large structures with gourd green lumber and nothing has collapsed yet. 🤷
I might have missed it but what kind of wood is it?
It is hemlock
Just wondering why no overhang on rafters?? You had plenty of length.
longer overhang at that pitch would block the windows.
These big boys should have an EMT standing by. But I admire their willingness to tackle a tough job. Same old thing though, the youngest guy does a lot of looking around.
There still learning Craig. These skills take years to learn as you know. 😊
How do you account for irregular shrinkage along lumber length when your cutting boards to final length before it is dried?
Lumber shrinks almost nothing in length just the width as it dries buddy. 👍
Wood will shrink a lot across the width of the grain, but hardly shrinks at all along the length. I expect to lose 1/8” per foot of width when lumber dries. You might get a 1/16” of shrinkage on a 20’ length.
Rafters vs. Trusses?
saved $5000 using rafters. 👍
ya but what about that wire lol
Just a technical question: stud walls with girts and rafters with purlins. Is this cheaper that post frame? Thanks.
Looks great though. You guys have a fun crew and your subscriber base continues to grow.
Did you have to get the lumber graded before using them to build the frame?
over cut bird mouth time for a spanking lol , big papa shame on u hahahha need longer arms can grab pencill off the ground know the feeling hahaha
ridge board splice, add drop pieces each side to give extra to naill off fyi, i know just saying lol
As the belly gets bigger the arms should grow longer. LOL 😂🤣
Bisquick looks Amish
tought working in the weather...too hot, too cold, too wet, short days, long days, dang...no wonder the new generation is not willing to become tomorrow's builder's...the new guy's will never buy and own a house, because of unstable tax return's...
There are some kids willing to learn.
Unsubscribed due to profanity.

Aww, poor little bubba...
Best you be off, you dont want to be late for church...
