My wife and I really enjoy your shows. Just wanted to mention a couple of things about your walls. A standard 8' wall stud is 92 and 5/8 inches long. This will allow room for ceiling sheetrock then you don't have to trim the wall sheetrock , two 4' pieces will lay horizontal without having to cut one. Also cut your bottom plates and place them between your post. Then you can use a 100' tape and layout the whole length of each wall at one time. this will help to eliminate any miss measurements.
Great Job explaining the first wall and the now the build begins in earnest. No need to go into the detail so much with the other side walls now until you get to the next style wall.
Glad your starting the walls, and your using 2x6's for them! I have used purlins let into (or the studs notched) on 24" centers, on the outside to give great wind bracing, and also it gives better screw holding for vertical metal siding. We typically also shoot the treated plate to the concrete, then have a bottom plate untreated for the wall, then stand wall and anchor both with concrete anchors. You also can use your loader and pallet dorks to do the heavy part of the lifting. Good job! 👍
dont ever worry about the length. If it is interesting to one person it is worth it. You will be surprised how many of us will watch it because it is more indepth. Great work!
Love the details, most assume everyone building know the details and a 30-45 min video when learning is not long I’ve watched 1 &1/2 hour video’s learning things I’m doing. Thank y’all so much for sharing your journey.
Happy Easter Kelly's! Dang Andrew my knees hurt just watching you lol. Don't mind me I'm just a retired Military jet engine mechanic. Those walls will and are rock solid. I think your poll barn will survive anything mother nature throws at it.
Excellent job and information. I built walls on the inside of a metal building, took some figuring to have studs in the right place for the sheet rock to go up in full sheets with inside corners, just one oops in five walls that needed an extra stud.
Great job man . Awesome Awesome Awesome man . Great skills there in carpentry you have . I did it for about 10 yrs myself and you right on point . I also don’t mind the longer videos , I wait all day to see it then that 15-16-17 min video goes by so fast . Happy Easter to you and Tiff .
Andrew, your building skills are wicked impressive. So many people need these details. Your determination in building your farm is inspiring. Happy Easter. I'm looking forward to the live stream.
Loved the video Andrew loved the details and you have done it the same way we do it up here in north ga. As a contractor I would havee not done it any other way
Happy Easter and glad to see you all enjoying the weekend. Nice detail and I don't mind the longer videos at all. I really like the way you are tackling this build. I'm not in the construction trade, but it seems like maybe there should be some sealer or construction adhesive put down between the concrete and your pressure treated board. Not meant as a critique, but seems like it might help to secure and seal. It might be worth checking into before you get too much farther along. I'm certainly looking forward to your future videos.
Did you consider using 2x6x8' pre cut studs....they come 92 5/8 ....but the 5/8 gets subtracted once you sheetrock the ceiling first. It leaves you with a 92 inch wall.
Wow looking awesome. If I wasn't so far I would lend a helping hand to raise the walls. Did you put any glue or sealant on the bottom board towards a concrete just wondering? Also you can always just blame me if Miss Tiffany says that's all you did say that cash wanted exact details on how to raise and build a wall 👌😉😉 .
I sure didn't seal the plate, moisture shouldn't be a problem since they are pressure treated, but air leakage will be a problem. That's something I'm going to have to address.
love your videos one thing i think you should do is anchor the base plate to the concrete before nailing to the 6 by 6 just a suggestion just so you arent putting stess on nails in 6 by 6
Andrew: You only show the 16" marks on the tape. Look at the top for the black diamond at 19 3/16 is the metric layout, it will also work 8' on centers for OSB run horizontal. An you said rafters on top of the walls, so that room will be vaulted ceiling cool. Myself I like Tray ceiling with recess cans with dimmers, there easier to change light bulbs.
I have seen other construction builds where they put a sheet between the bottom wood that contacts the concrete. I don't know the terms but they use it to protect the wood. It's a roll of pink material that is the exact width of the bottom 2x6 board.
When I built my pole barn shop what I did was take the base plate board and laid it down between my posts and then measured and marked out my studs. May make it easier and avoid a tape measure overhang mistake. Just a suggestion. Nice work.
Do you guys not use foam sill seal between the slab and sill plate down south? Looks great looking forward to the project. Also would it not be better to store your wood supply under the roof to keep dry and also work under to stay out of the Florida sun.
One wall at a time!!! A few questions/comments... - You should consider standing the bottom and top plate back-to-back on edge when you're marking the stud locations. That way the pencil markings are on the edge of the plates and visible as you're constructing the wall and the lines aren't covered up by the studs. - Which side of the 6" x 6" beams are you flushing the walls to, the inside or the outside? Since the wall is (should be) 5 1/2" and you showed the beams are varying in width, seems like one side or the other (inside or out) isn't going to be flush for the siding or drywall. How are you skinning that cat? - Was curious as to why you need to install headers for doors/windows being that it's post & beam construction? Kyle from RR Buildings UA-cam, has said that's one benefit of his post & beam buildings is that none of the walls are load bearing, which removes the need for headers in any walls. Your 6" x 6" posts are carrying the load(s). Ohhhhhh... last comment, just my opinion, but 30 min. videos are too long... :-) Happy Easter!!!
At the moment the interior and exterior seems flush with the 2x6 walls. I'll probably keep the exterior flush and sand or plane the interior posts if need be. As for the headers, my engineer went overboard. It's costly and time consuming to re engineer again, so we went with it. The back half of the house is technically load bearing walls because there will be a load carrying attic above. Happy Easter
I will go back and caulk those two walls and start adding a sealer between the base plate and concrete on the rest of the walls. Luckily it's a pressure treat bottom plate, not much to worry about other than air leakage that I'll seal in.

@@TKCL It’s always better to keep even treated lumber not touching the concrete as much as possible. Otherwise the first wall looks really good and structurally strong
Great videos you doing my friend . What i don't see you didn't do is a seal plate gasket, at least tar or same.kind of good quality sealeant. Provably my obsession is to laye for you . Where in Florida are you ?
Keep watching, I admit that a couple of videos later, remove the wall and install the seal plate gasket. We are in north central Florida near Tallahassee
Becareful when you lift the walls all it takes is one time you hurt your back and you are done for a while that would put you behind on your barn good luck Happy Easter 🐰🐰 The video was excellent keep up the good work ☺️
Ive seen many of your videos so far. Great job. I have a 8x8 post building that I am constructing. so my problem (I call it a new Opportunity) is how do a frame a 2x6 wall to tie the sheeting outside but still cover the interior posts. corners and inline posts? I could frame it either direction. from the inside or the outside of the 8x8 posts....Any Ideas.
The people I've seen do that just wrap the posts inside with drywall. I personally don't like that. The only other option is to frame in 2x8 lumber, that's what my friend is doing with his 8x8 post barndo.
@TKCL thanks for the quick reply...I agree I dislike the drywall corner. My other thought was a staggered double 2x4 wall... that would be more efficient on insulation but then a new area for hurricane stops.. thinking now possibly a combination of 2x4 and 2x8...I have a bit of to.e yet but thanks for the ideas.
Tip from being on 100+ jobsites: Set up your saw and lumber in a large room inside the house. It's dry and you won't have to walk out back for every cut and piece of wood. It will save you miles of walking time by the time your framing is done. You can also leave the saw there if you had to say, go to a family outing. Also working with rained on wood ain't no fun at all.
I am impressed at your skills and your ability to communicate the information to us viewers Great job : ) Happy Easter!
Thank you very much, happy Easter
Looking great!! So exciting to finally start building!!! Have a wonderful evening Andrew and Tiffany!

Correct, I'll be addressing the wall height issue along with a few others that viewer mentioned. Thanks
Thank you for taking the time to explain the details to me.
Thank you for watching
@@TKCL Happy Easter. What size is the structure going to be? Who did you get your plans from? Metal rafters came from where?
Under roof is 2800 Sq ft or 40x70. Heated is 30x50, the trusses came from backwoods buildings in Chipley Florida. The plans we designed ourselves.
@@TKCL I'm needing to build something like this in the next few weeks. Wondering what price range are you talking about?
Not completely sure now, materials have went through the roof. Probably in the 140k range is just a guess.
How exciting to raise the 1st wall of ypur new house! Enjoy the detail. Don't sweat the length of the videos. Thanks Andrew.
Thank you!
Definitely like all the detail and explanations...keep that in there even if the videos become long!

I personally like this longer more in depth of what's going on with the build.
Thank you for the feedback
Hey Andrew remind everyone about crowning your studs when building a wall.
Yes that is an important point, rafters too.
Happy Easter 🐣
Happy Easter!
Did you consider using 2x6x8' pre cut studs....they come 92 5/8 ....but the 5/8 gets subtracted once you sheetrock the ceiling first. It leaves you with a 92 inch wall.
Never seen those around here, even at the big box stores. They have plenty of them pre cut in 2x4
Happy Easter! Great detail! Made it seem so easy!😂

Wow looking awesome. If I wasn't so far I would lend a helping hand to raise the walls. Did you put any glue or sealant on the bottom board towards a concrete just wondering?

@@TKCL ok I was just wondering. It's been awhile since I help my grandpa make a getaway shed and I remember adding I believe some kind of glue
It was an oversight on my part
@@TKCL can't you add a small bead of silicone along the bottom prior to putting up the sides?
I've been reading up on it, some say yes and some say no.
love your videos one thing i think you should do is anchor the base plate to the concrete before nailing to the 6 by 6 just a suggestion just so you arent putting stess on nails in 6 by 6
It's habit, always worried the wall will fall on me lol.
Great start! Can't wait to see your progress. How did the plants fare with the cold?
Not good! Lost a big chunk of the garden. I'll have a video out tomorrow. I've already replanted
@@TKCL I'm sorry you lost them...Jack Frost can be a jerk!!! Happy Easter to you & the Family!
Happy Easter
Andrew: You only show the 16" marks on the tape. Look at the top for the black diamond at 19 3/16 is the metric layout, it will also work 8' on centers for OSB run horizontal. An you said rafters on top of the walls, so that room will be vaulted ceiling cool. Myself I like Tray ceiling with recess cans with dimmers, there easier to change light bulbs.
I remember the diamonds, need to see if my tapes have them. Old habits are hard to break with me making lines 16 dead center.
I have seen other construction builds where they put a sheet between the bottom wood that contacts the concrete. I don't know the terms but they use it to protect the wood. It's a roll of pink material that is the exact width of the bottom 2x6 board.
It's called sill seal and yep I should be doing it, I'll revisit that this week. Thank you
When I built my pole barn shop what I did was take the base plate board and laid it down between my posts and then measured and marked out my studs. May make it easier and avoid a tape measure overhang mistake. Just a suggestion. Nice work.

We do use it, that was a miss on my part that a lot of people caught. I'll be addressing that asap. Thanks

@@TKCL you will need the headers since you are doing the attic above with the 2x8 sitting on the top plate. That’s why the double top plate also
I agree with that
1st, Happy Easter
2nd, do your plans, or local code, not call for a capillary break between the concrete and sill plate?
Happy Easter, no break that I am aware of.
I will go back and caulk those two walls and start adding a sealer between the base plate and concrete on the rest of the walls. Luckily it's a pressure treat bottom plate, not much to worry about other than air leakage that I'll seal in.
Did not use sill sealer??

Is there an Orscheln Farm & Home in your area they also go by the pound on bolts
No I've never seen or heard of them.
Your doing great brother , if you add a stop block to the end , you won’t have to measure every time you cut , hope it helps , god bless
