      That's probably because framing has been micro managed down to one guy only knows how to do one thing. That has controlled the wages for most trades and the money the employee should be making goes into the bosses pocket

    Knucklehead number three from Quebec, Canada here. Was planning a garage build in 2020 but got laid off from Air Canada due to pandemic etc ... had the whole thing drawn out in Solidworks and had permit in hand, then materials went through the roof. I got real discouraged and it feels like life's been on pause since 2020. But seeing this has re-ignited the spark. Also, I'm realizing that it seems so easy when you watch someone else do it, but I'm sure there are lot of details you're not showing that are just second nature to you now. Thanks for sharing, I just watched the whole thing front start to finish with a few beers and it really felt like I was sitting in a lawn chair over there with you.

      as a carpenter myself, building a garage like this is no big deal, not to take anything away from the guy, I mean things don't get any simpler in the building trades than this. its not even a hip roof, and that's a craftsman's touch, framing a hip roof that is

    • @MyDIYAdventures
      @MyDIYAdventures  7 місяців тому +2

      @user-fl3ey6pe6k 7 місяців тому

      @@MyDIYAdventures it takes a carpenter to cut a hip roof, any nail pounder can set trusses. I worked in one subdivision where the builders model house had a F/U hip roof and there's one a few streets over that was blown. Naturally thing should be plumb, square and level before you start framing a roof. I've cut some pretty tricky hips in my day and i did not learn how to out of a book either, I worked with some old timers and there's a lot more to it , we framed custom houses and most of them were really chopped up and unequal pitched roofs were pretty common. there's some tricks to stepping off hip jacks, especially if you don't want to be cutting every sheet of flat board. I'm not knocking your job, I did not even watch but a couple of sec of it, I'm just saying that any competent 2 carpenters could put that garage up in 10-12 hrs or they will not be eating very well. ok, I jumped to the end of your video and I was thinking a younger guy put this up. when I say 2 guys could do it in 10 hrs, I, was thinking of what me and my partner could do in 10 hrs when we were in our prime, he's pushing daisies and I'm not far from that, so good job, have a beer on me.

    Being fit helps, but what you are doing takes brain power too, and you sir have nailed that aspect.
    The first home I built by myself was 24' x 32' and I was able to special order 26' long 2" x 6" but not for ceiling rafters. My home was cathedral ceiling and the 2" x 6"'s were for roof rafters 16" on center laying on top of 3- 5 1/8" x 12 1/8" Gluelams - 24' long. I got most of my materials at now closed Wolahans Lumber. It took 4 1/2 months from 4th of July to November 20th in Higgins Lake MI 1990. It cost $26,000 for 4 bedroom, 1 bath, central HVAC & vinyl siding. It appraised for $78,000. I used a skill saw, a drill and hand tools. My greatest obstacle besides getting the 3 - 700lb beams up, was build 2 sheer walls 9 1/2' high on top of an 8' high wall to support the beams on the gable ends, using 5/8" 5 ply, by my self. Beam heights = 33", 5 1/2' & 9 1/2' above the top plate. Ridge is set back 8' from the front with a 5 1/2-12 pitch in front & 9 1/2-12 in the back (loft). Looking at the front, right 1/2 had a walk out bay window & left had a 12' x 8' screen porch and a 45 degree door in the corner opening up to a Kitchen/Livingroom and showcasing the loft staircase. From the foot of the stairs to the bay window was 22'. Designed on a Commodore 64, in a camper. I had a neighbor help me lift the 6 sheets of sheetrock 4' x 12' x 5/8"between the beams on the ceiling. I built a temp floor and used ladders, then added beaded stock and varnished beams and beaded, then removed temp floor. 32 years ago & I remember like it was yesterday.

Well, 5 years later it still didn't have siding on it yet. I sold the place and 17 years later that garage is still up, with out siding and not even another coat of paint ! OSB is crazy stuff.

    I built alone myself in many cases, it take more time to complete but I know when it's don't it's correct, I noticed that a few code that you have are different than were I live, but that is to be expected, even though it is allowed I will not use OSB on my major projects, It's ok but what I seen turned me off, I still use 1/2" 5/8" and 3/4" CDX sides 1/2" and roof 5/8" - 3/4" the prices are insane but here's why? I've witness the real test, and OSB failed against CDX, I do like the way you Build as a one man crew mainly because you and I are a lot alike working by ourselves, some people questions why do I still use the old method installing wind bracing, 1"X"6 stretching from top plate to bottom plate, my answer is always the same, It' much stronger! also I install all plywood side ways on the walls except for the corners where I install them long ways, when we do it ourselves we get it done the way we prefer, you did a very nice job and kudos to you, I have only one concern in your case, those Tall trees in a bad storm looks a bit scary. Hey, sometime working this way can get to ya a bit, buy still we love it!.......... by the way you're a pretty cool Knucklehead, because I wouldn't dare start this job in January! I would have waited until Spring, cold and I don't get along. keep it up Tuff-Guy

    I did landscaping over summers during college and built gazebos, stone walls, fish ponds, etc... But it has been years since... I would love to build my mom a single car garage. Thank you for inspiring and sharing some of your process and knowledge. I am looking up the terms and concepts you use throughout the video. If you don't have a tutorial vid, it would be cool if you made one.
    By the way, throughout the video I noticed that you may be very hard and talk down to yourself... I hope you find a way to treat yourself with kindness. You are awesome.

      Trusses cost more and limit storage space, and scaffold is difficult to move around with all the cross bracing in the garage.

    #3 Nice build. I built a 36 x 32 x 10 garage while working a full time job. Only help I had was with the concrete and setting the trusses in place. My wife helped hold some things while I nailed. She and my son-in-law handed me insulation and steel sheeting for the roof. I put in every nail and screw in the entire building. LP Smart Side for walls, steel for roof. Plans and materials from Menard's.
    I sure spent a lot more time doing it than you did on this project. Lot of satisfaction to look at it finished.
    Have watched several of you builds. Keep up the good work

    Your back wall may have bowed out when you set the diagonal brace on the ridge. Look back on you video if you care. Nice thing about wood is you can usually straighten things out like you did if it isn't too bad. This video brings back fond memories of when I used to be able to do this stuff. Much nicer sitting in my chair and watching someone else do the work! 😁
