I found this so fascinating. I can tell that Kyle takes pride in his work. Exactly the type of person I would want to build a house for me if that were possible.
"There's no Header requirement" - every carpenter's head in the land snaps up. I also love that each Truss lands in the post notch(shortened 2x6) and loads on a post on a foundation point-load. This is large scale engineering, all aligned on point-loads, just like concrete hi-rises. Superior.
Absolutely spot on. Post frame building are often seen as the "cheaper" building, but I believe they are better engineered than stick frame. This is why I'm designing my house as post frame.
Theres not a better channel to learn framing and attention to detail in finishing than RR Buildings. Kyle can build some monster projects, but his ultimate highlightskill is metal finishing imo. He's showing surgeon like cutting skills, he's dancing with those scissors man. Ultimate respect!
Kyle is a very focused builder. The thing I am most impress with is his use of mobile equipment to improve job efficiency and safety. RR Building has not skimped on job tools. Probably part of why they put together awesome buildings.
And can hit the price point they do. Knocking something like a 20x80 garage out in 7 working days with 2 men is incredible and it's because they don't have to stand around figuring out how to lift things , brace them there and reposition to lift again, etc. Everything built on the ground (big timesaver) and lifted once , done!
Matt thanks for this crossover. I am a big fan of both channels. One thing you overlooked when you were at the first building and talking about how fast it goes up is the labor factor. 5 days got it from bare ground, site layout, piers dug and poured, to skeleton frame with a roof. 2 guys did that! Amazing craftsmanship and attention to detail as well. Kyle and Greg are a well oiled machine!
Their finish work is impeccable and they are scary accurate measuring square. I'd love to have someone that meticulous build something for me but wow is that level of care hard to find!
At first I thought they were wasting their insane talents but after following them for a year I see them as the perfect machines for their type of construction! No one could beat them at their game so why would they do anything different?
My dad built the first “pole” barn in our county back it 1952. It was called a “pole” barn because at that time they were built from used telephone poles. They aren’t built that way anymore but incidentally, that shed is still standing and being used for machinery storage.
Very nice, I’ve dabbled a little in to post frame construction. I also built a 2-1/2 story tree house for the grandkids. Half bath and laundry with work station on first floor, full bath, small kitchen and living room on second floor and sleeping on upper loft . Unsupported deck , ski light , slides , climbing wall . Coming yet ,fireman drop pole and zip line and connect deck to house deck . I spent a year in court educating the codes department after being red tagged ,all’s good now !!!
I’m so glad to see a post framed structure on here. I started using these several years ago for spec houses. I sub out the shell to a Mennonite crew , they are fast and very very affordable. they will raise it in a just few days. It has a 9” cavity for insulation and continuous thermal seal. I like to use blown in for this application. Since it’s wide open floor you can divide the space up however you like and dress the exterior/ interior in any style you want. I would wager it’s less expensive and more cost effective than any SIPs kit or traditional stick framed structure and just as well insulated if not better.
With the pandemic price gouging on lumber, stick building is getting outrageously expensive and sheeting with plywood is extremely costly, too. So I've been looking at alternative building solutions. Post-frame and SIP are the ones I've been considering. The estimates are a lot less for both compared to stick building, but post-frame is coming in closer to our budget. Like he said it, gets dried in faster and gives more inside working comfort. Seeing the skeleton of a post-frame is something I can appreciate. My wife is still a little skeptical, but she's starting to trust my judgement. Thanks for the tours and the information! I'll be checking his channel out! Thanks for the video!
Excellent video guys, lots of great information that applies to the area we live in. I am a builder in Ohio getting ready to put my 4200sqft home up for sale that I built 2 years ago. After I had seen Kyles first few videos on building post frame buildings, I knew that is what I wanted to build on a property we purchased last year. It will be 60x120 divided into 3... 40 foot sections, House with basement, Party barn in the center and my shop on the other end. So I have really appreciated being able to watch and pick up so many great ideas that will apply to our build in the near future. Thanks Again
I’m lucky enough to be in the RR Buildings service area. He built a building about 10-15 minutes away from my house and it’s one of the most beautiful buildings I have ever seen
I've seen a few myself, beautiful buildings. And I've seen Kyle at the local menards on a few occasions but didn't want to bother him. Definitely does great work. 👍
I used to build post steel buildings. They are still as. Solid. As the day they were built. I am glad to see that they. Are being diversified to other uses than barns and storage,,garages etc.
This is one of the best videos I’ve seen in quite awhile. Kyle said numerous times “you can do anything with post frame” and he’s right! I’ll be doing a post frame (God willing) in the next year or two

With This Old Tony making machined parts for the house. Mike Farrington building the furniture. Collab heaven. And think of the Ray Jay videos that would come out of it!!! Beccaaaa!!! Matt's coming over...😁
Man, RRBuildings was one of the first professional UA-cam channels I came across a few years ago when I was considering building my first home. The simplicity and versatility of the core structure, and the fact that I would have been building by myself from start to finish with no additional manpower made it really appealing. Can't complain about the low cost, either! I ultimately ended up buying an existing 20 year old house, simply because the cost per square foot in the area I was looking in is so low (
Introducing RR Buildings channel is probably the best thing your channel has ever done! His construction techniques are innovative, and his quality and attention to detail is as good as yours!
His mum n dads is my favourite out of em all, they have all been exceptional buildings and the “sheds” are just as good but recently he’s been doing a lot more internal work so you can see people are jumping over to that style of home
Great episode. I've watched some of Kyle's other post frame videos but I guess I've not seen any of his residential building stuff. I've always wondered why there isn't more of this style of construction. If I were to build a new house, this is the way I'd go. Thanks for the great content Matt.
Kyle and Greg are great to watch and learn from. Kyle really shows the small points, and his attention to detail is so very impressive. Cheers from Tokyo! Stu
My home is an open 30x40 with 10' walls red iron perkins trusses with galvanized metal girts between the red iron. Open floor plan except for the back corner bathroom/utility room. The building is Insulated according to the Anchorage Cold Climate Housing Research Center's cold wall system. The trusses set on a stem wall with footings below the frost line. In the floor slab I have 2" foam 4' board around the exterior of the slab. I heat the place with a single air source minisplit heat pump and have natural gas for back up and when it gets below five degrees Fahrenheit. I sheathed it with plywood and it has a metal exterior. Insulation is 7" foam on roof with 5" fiberglass between the 2x6 roof girts and the walls are 3" exterior foam and fiberglass between the 2x4 wall girts. my ceiling is aluminum soffit material from the local Restore. 90% was my labor alone.
@OlTrailDog - Your home sounds great, maybe you can post some photos or video to it on your channel, or somewhere online, would be very interested to see it.
I had a 30x60 pole frame building put on my property 2 years ago. It's got two large garage doors separated by about 6 ft so there's plenty of room between them, and the last 16 feet of its length is a music/rehearsal room./man cave. And I'm even putting a "rough" man cave in the shop section. This building is a dream come true for me. The concrete floor is smooth like Costco which allowed me to put a beautiful wood floor in the music room. By the way, the music room has a lot of the same things going for it that a sports bar does. And the building cost about as much as a new toyota. Where I live there are no building permits required but the one down side of this building is there is no water, at least not yet.
Long time sub of Kyle here. What you won't get from this video is the quality he produces. Post framing gets a bad rap for being "very rough" framing. Not Kyle, the guy puts his heart in every building he builds. He builds like he would for himself. Sadly, that is extremely rare in contracting today. He takes extra effort and care to produce an outstanding product. Post framing, Kyle is the goat in my opinion.
There needs to be more of this style of building. In a lot of areas the cost of housing has inflated to where there is no such thing as affordable housing. I wish I had the means to develop areas with simple, basic homes that meet the needs of low-income home buyers.
Well, while it is true that this type of construction has a low cost per square foot, this has nothing to do with "affordable housing" RR builds large, expansive play structures which have nothing to do with meeting basic housing requirements, for people with a lot of money. The 5,700 sq ft "hunting cabin" is an example. Not that there's anything wrong with that, if thats what you want and you can afford it. Just saying, this isn't "affordable housing" in any way.
@Tyler $85/sq.' is a great price for spaces that are big, open and flexible, but those are not the typical criteria for "affordable housing". A typical "manufactured home", a boring ranch-shaped box with 8' ceilings, built to federal standards, would run less than half that much, and with decent foundation could be just as permanent. The challenge, of course, would be building at near that cost without the low-budget look of a trailer park, and you'll see some pretty attractive examples on the internet, of manufactured houses with just enough amenities to look more like homes than boxes. The system shown here is much more affordable than most other systems for building custom houses, but it doesn't strike me as a useful approach for housing the masses.
Awesome. The one thing I heard, that I'd do differently, is to use rockwool instead of fiberglass. I like ICF for its bullet-proof durability and LEED certification, but shy of that, this looks like way to do it. And closed cell spray foam is really hard to beat.
I would love to have a post frame home, particularly build by Kyle. I however have got to get out of IL. Kudos to Kyle for his professionalism and Matt for the presentation.
So nice to see two favorite youtubers in the same frame (!) Matt does a great job with additional commenting that really makes his interviews easy to grasp for a layman. Also nice to see some snow on the channel! Cheers from northern Sweden
This is the first time Kyle has mentioned a ball park on pricing. I'm thankful for the info...because this is exactly what I want to do and it's in my budget.
@@danielbuckner2167 my building would have been much cheaper but I wanted a laundry list of bull shit lol. 5 roll doors a full bath and a vehicle lift plus accommodations for my power hammer and a very flat floor for the machine shop side. Added an easy 40% increase in price all said and done.
I can not believe that I am witnessing this conversation !!! (I hope that Kyle mentions Matt's visit). If Norm Abrams showed up well ~. I guess I would just think my days had ended and I had gone into the white. ~. Matt ~. You have no idea! ~. This video is epic. ~. I hope that you give Kyle credit for this one. Whew weeee. Oh my goodness. !!!
Well from my experience whenever you attach metal siding to wood there are issues with coefficient of expansion of metal vs wood. Metal expands 3/16 per 100' per 10 deg. Wood expands with humidity. If the interior is acclimatized you also have other issues. Fasteners will eventually leak because the metal works the screws back and forth from expansion and contraction. Metal frame building have expansion connections built in and fasteners stay put.
For a few years now I have been thinking of selling my home and getting a piece of land and putting a large manufactured home on it and live comfortably and debt free... However, that changed once I saw this video. I so want to go to go post frame structures instead! Honestly these barns and homes are beautiful and spacious. If I could afford it I would build a home between 2700-5000sq. ft. Then have a 5000sq. ft barn/guitar showroom/cocktail lounge and studio all in one built for all my music and hobby needs. But most likely (at first) I would only be able to build a modest home with what I sold my home for...but that would be enough. Keep up the good work Matt, and please keep those prices low so many of us can get the home of our dreams without breaking the bank or staying in debt for the rest of our lives. You are awesome. Peace
I love this style build. Decision made. Im building a post frame barndo. Definitely doing black and white steel. I like the stem wall foundation the best. I like that alot of space can be covered with steel inside ruling out heavy drywall that needs multiple finishes. The post frame design makes for fast building results too. I guess we'll leave old school pole barn construction up to the Amish folk. Glad to see you two guys get together in a video. Great work you guys do.
Never disappointed in your vids Matt. Always stay with them to the end. You and Kyle both have the people skillset that buyers need to be comfortable with their projects.
@@jamesellis7677 looking to end up closer to 75 between Knox and Chattanooga but could end up anywhere when we start looking for land. Will keep you in mind and thanks for the reply.
holy shit that plumber on the last house *chef's kiss. I was a maintenance plumber before becoming a commercial construction manager and damn that's great work.
Not my cup of tea architecturally, but for decent cost-effective buildings, hard to beat the speed/price. Blower door test would be interesting - how well does the house wrap stop air leaks?
There is no way this building is just going to blow away. You want to see buildings that will blow away go check out cheap track houses. The drywall and finishes probably hold up great because it is being done in a completely dried in space. You can even take it to the next level by climatizing the interior for the build out. Awesome stuff.
@@TheKingOfInappropriateComments my post frame is 155ftx85ft and if I didn't want 5 roll doors it would have been cheaper per foot than my 2 pole barns. It's well insulated and has a full bathroom. They tend to be a good value but the "low cost"is a poor choice of words. Also the typical massive conditioned space can get expensive to heat and cool
@@jeffreyhill1011 That's true but the whole point is to have super high ceilings and tons of glass whether it's a wall of windows or a rollup door. And there's also the issue of resale value. As you can see from the comments, guys love it but having to persuade the misses means it's probably not going to have the wide appeal that say a timber frame has. I live in a timber frame by the way. Not to be confused with a post frame.
I wish I had a builder like RR here in NE Ohio. This type of construction shouldn't just be in rural areas. I'd love to see more post frame homes in suburban neighborhoods. Kyle's parents' home would sit perfectly in any residential area.
Oh my goodness! The one and the only Matt Risinger of THE BUILD SHOW! (My very most favorite build Tech guy). MEETS Kyle (and Greg) from R&R right there in Illinois. !!! Unbelievable ! R&R is the MASTER OF BARN BUIL:DING !!! Unbelievable! Wow. Hard worker and Oh so big! (I love Kyle). Wow Weeeee! Sooo Cool!
Almost bought a house once w an outbuilding so big guy could back his whole semi trailer in the left side rig in the middle still had an open bay ( it’s deep enough for a semi trailer. Upstairs studio bathroom kitchen two 12x 12 bedrooms on opposite corners and the main area had to be 30x30 . It was a mans heaven. That why wife at the time said no . I said why , she said because you’d never come to the main house lol
Matt, we have bulk wholesale Hemp Hurd available for hempcrete home builders. All hemp is grown and processed in the USA. No one in the world can beat our prices. US HEMP HURD
Huh....when you recognize every build in this video, I guess I'm an RR fan! 😁 Just invite the Essential Craftsman next time and Finish Carpentry TV to, well, do some wainscoting and life will be complete!
great presentation Matt and John. I had the sound mutted but I just know you talked so much sense from the multitude of hand gestures and the awy your trucking, cant wait for the next one, you guys really kill it wow. Time lapse showing the complete construction just doesn't do it the way talking heads does, what more can I say ...again wow, and so many numbers and figures flashing up on the screen too wow.
I own a spray foam company....I was driving home from Florida and seen these things popping up everywhere but by me in Rockford...Wow. Super cool brother. Closed-cell spray foam combined with radiant heat is the real deal...Nice stuff guys...very nice....
This is awesome not sure why this suddenly popped up on my feed. I watch your channel all the time but live very close to these guys. That is awesome. Love middle of no where Illinois as well.
Not putting anything down here everybody, but right around the 4 minute mark it shows the wood column off set of the concrete peer, by a lot, like almost on the side, and it showed a few of them, maybe someone can explain, cause it looks like a pretty good screw up
18 hours !!! I drove non stop except for gas, from Sacramento to Milwaukee in 32 hours.. Do the math of average non stop speed for 2,084 miles. HINT, 65mph.. I was doing 125mph going through Nevada on I-80.. Great days in the 70's.. Love the video, doing that work now.. Need a place for my 67 GTO and shop to work in.
Really good construction, a solid step up from the pole barn. Good video. Thanks. That corner X bracing is kinda what they do in Japan. My guess is that the girds(?) are strong enough to hold the whole wall together if there's a twisting force, tornado, earthquake. I never gave much thought to a traditional framing brace running diagonally across multiple stud bays until I was in Kumumoto, Japan a month after a serious earthquake in 2016. Those braced corners didn't do much, the structures twisted about 15-20 degrees and the roof collapsed the whole 1-2 story building. What's different is there was nothing like the girds tying all the 'stud' bays and the whole wall into a single plane. I went all over Japan, roads, bridges, modern sky scrapers - all built to the highest international standards. Domestic houses, barns, small businesses - wood structures I saw zero effctive bracing (but I didn't see much new construction) It was weird. I think they based the structure on the Chinese temple structure which is very earthquake resistant, but then to make houses and barns they eliminated the key features that make the temples so resilient. (And a critical factor are those heavy clay tile roofs. The old shack on a steep hill that I live in will survive earthquakes - been through dozens already - is because everything is so light weight) This Post Framed structure? I want one. And if I was still thinking about the bracing... I'd ask, or pay for the extra engineering to reassure me. The cupola. Good detail. If you had any kind of a below grade basement with windows (small basement windows work well I know from experience) then just opening up the cupola windows would keep the whole house cool in the summer. My dad did this on our house in Michigan (but had a huge ceiling fan instead of the cupola). In ... Mississippi (I think) an antebellum mansion was a multistory octagon, cupola with windows... don't remember the details - but same convection idea - stayed cool. And the high school my son taught at in Japan had clerestory windows that a thermostat mechanically opened and closed. No other air conditioning. Cool and good air movement in the hot summers. Japan gets as hot as the midwest. I was thinking of getting a piece of land, big barn and an Airstream parked outside. It would be really easy to just build a nice weekend home on a second level along one side.
@@jfarrar231 haha m I've already priced everything out. I'm having a lot of the lumber milled put of logs on the land. Plus I have the whole kitchen already. I think 110k will be more than enough.
Kyle is a Absolutely awesome craftsman love to work along side him for a month a true inspiration to the youth of today, cracking video guys Legend Matt all the best Tony 👍
I use under slab heat... latest from the engineers is to "not" insulate under the slab just around the rim and in about a foot... when the dirt under the floor is heated, it becomes a "thermal mass" maintaining the interior temperature longer and using less circulation cycles per time duration... and your options on how to heat the liquid under slab (we also cycle it through masonry seating around fire places and pits)... so wood, (propane) gas, (solar) electric, etc. can all be interchanged (or switched to) at your "heat exchanger" manifold...
Thanks for coming and hanging out with Greg and I! It was awesome showing you guys around
Been watching Kyle and Greg a LONG time and that the cleanest I've ever seen that shop...
I've been following both of you for years and it's awesome to see you both on 1 video. Now I need to save up for a post frame shop/house.

I found this so fascinating. I can tell that Kyle takes pride in his work. Exactly the type of person I would want to build a house for me if that were possible.
First your on Essential Craftsman podcast, now you're hanging out with RR buildings! You're killing it Matt.
"There's no Header requirement" - every carpenter's head in the land snaps up.
I also love that each Truss lands in the post notch(shortened 2x6) and loads on a post on a foundation point-load.

Absolutely spot on. Post frame building are often seen as the "cheaper" building, but I believe they are better engineered than stick frame. This is why I'm designing my house as post frame.
You get so much overhead clearance as well as usuable space from these buildings and they take fractions of the time to build

With This Old Tony making machined parts for the house. Mike Farrington building the furniture. Collab heaven. And think of the Ray Jay videos that would come out of it!!! Beccaaaa!!! Matt's coming over...😁
@@hansangb Mike Farrington and/or Andy Rawls on the furniture!
Man, RRBuildings was one of the first professional UA-cam channels I came across a few years ago when I was considering building my first home. The simplicity and versatility of the core structure, and the fact that I would have been building by myself from start to finish with no additional manpower made it really appealing. Can't complain about the low cost, either!
I ultimately ended up buying an existing 20 year old house, simply because the cost per square foot in the area I was looking in is so low (
My two favorite youtubers, you guys are amazing. Thank you for building for the future and not just for the dollar in your pocket.
Introducing RR Buildings channel is probably the best thing your channel has ever done! His construction techniques are innovative, and his quality and attention to detail is as good as yours!
His mum n dads is my favourite out of em all, they have all been exceptional buildings and the “sheds” are just as good but recently he’s been doing a lot more internal work so you can see people are jumping over to that style of home
Great episode. I've watched some of Kyle's other post frame videos but I guess I've not seen any of his residential building stuff. I've always wondered why there isn't more of this style of construction. If I were to build a new house, this is the way I'd go. Thanks for the great content Matt.
Kyle and Greg are great to watch and learn from.
Kyle really shows the small points, and his attention to detail is so very impressive.
Cheers from Tokyo!

My home is an open 30x40 with 10' walls red iron perkins trusses with galvanized metal girts between the red iron. Open floor plan except for the back corner bathroom/utility room. The building is Insulated according to the Anchorage Cold Climate Housing Research Center's cold wall system. The trusses set on a stem wall with footings below the frost line. In the floor slab I have 2" foam 4' board around the exterior of the slab. I heat the place with a single air source minisplit heat pump and have natural gas for back up and when it gets below five degrees Fahrenheit. I sheathed it with plywood and it has a metal exterior. Insulation is 7" foam on roof with 5" fiberglass between the 2x6 roof girts and the walls are 3" exterior foam and fiberglass between the 2x4 wall girts. my ceiling is aluminum soffit material from the local Restore. 90% was my labor alone.
@OlTrailDog - Your home sounds great, maybe you can post some photos or video to it on your channel, or somewhere online, would be very interested to see it.
RR's builds are so impressive. The guys are obsessed with quality.
I had a 30x60 pole frame building put on my property 2 years ago. It's got two large garage doors separated by about 6 ft so there's plenty of room between them, and the last 16 feet of its length is a music/rehearsal room./man cave. And I'm even putting a "rough" man cave in the shop section. This building is a dream come true for me. The concrete floor is smooth like Costco which allowed me to put a beautiful wood floor in the music room.
By the way, the music room has a lot of the same things going for it that a sports bar does.
And the building cost about as much as a new toyota. Where I live there are no building permits required but the one down side of this building is there is no water, at least not yet.
I nerded out so hard seeing this colab. If Matt and Kyle worked together on a couple buildings, the possibilities are endless. Efficiency perfected.
Two of my favorite youtubers and educators.
The RR Team is one of the best. Love seeing these collaboration videos.
Long time sub of Kyle here. What you won't get from this video is the quality he produces. Post framing gets a bad rap for being "very rough" framing. Not Kyle, the guy puts his heart in every building he builds. He builds like he would for himself. Sadly, that is extremely rare in contracting today. He takes extra effort and care to produce an outstanding product. Post framing, Kyle is the goat in my opinion.
There needs to be more of this style of building. In a lot of areas the cost of housing has inflated to where there is no such thing as affordable housing. I wish I had the means to develop areas with simple, basic homes that meet the needs of low-income home buyers.
Well, while it is true that this type of construction has a low cost per square foot, this has nothing to do with "affordable housing" RR builds large, expansive play structures which have nothing to do with meeting basic housing requirements, for people with a lot of money. The 5,700 sq ft "hunting cabin" is an example. Not that there's anything wrong with that, if thats what you want and you can afford it. Just saying, this isn't "affordable housing" in any way.
@Tyler what about the cost of land?
@Tyler $85/sq.' is a great price for spaces that are big, open and flexible, but those are not the typical criteria for "affordable housing". A typical "manufactured home", a boring ranch-shaped box with 8' ceilings, built to federal standards, would run less than half that much, and with decent foundation could be just as permanent. The challenge, of course, would be building at near that cost without the low-budget look of a trailer park, and you'll see some pretty attractive examples on the internet, of manufactured houses with just enough amenities to look more like homes than boxes. The system shown here is much more affordable than most other systems for building custom houses, but it doesn't strike me as a useful approach for housing the masses.
Local building codes and regulations kill post frame in most neighborhoods
Awesome. The one thing I heard, that I'd do differently, is to use rockwool instead of fiberglass. I like ICF for its bullet-proof durability and LEED certification, but shy of that, this looks like way to do it. And closed cell spray foam is really hard to beat.
I would love to have a post frame home, particularly build by Kyle. I however have got to get out of IL. Kudos to Kyle for his professionalism and Matt for the presentation.
*built
@@MaximusMerideus yeah
So nice to see two favorite youtubers in the same frame (!) Matt does a great job with additional commenting that really makes his interviews easy to grasp for a layman. Also nice to see some snow on the channel! Cheers from northern Sweden
You see a plumbing-job like 25:00 and you _know_ that someone takes pride in their work :)
I know this is an old video, but I really appreciated the banter back and forth about the mechanical room. 😂
I like a man who tells us the price of the project. Too many builders are scared to give a ball park starting point.
This is the first time Kyle has mentioned a ball park on pricing. I'm thankful for the info...because this is exactly what I want to do and it's in my budget.
Too many people throw in randow requests and specific details and want a price in the first fifteen minutes. 🙄
@@danielbuckner2167 facts
@@danielbuckner2167 my building would have been much cheaper but I wanted a laundry list of bull shit lol. 5 roll doors a full bath and a vehicle lift plus accommodations for my power hammer and a very flat floor for the machine shop side. Added an easy 40% increase in price all said and done.
@@jeffreyhill1011 for real man, a simple box is cheap but all the add-ons add up quick!
I can not believe that I am witnessing this conversation !!! (I hope that Kyle mentions Matt's visit). If Norm Abrams showed up well ~. I guess I would just think my days had ended and I had gone into the white. ~. Matt ~. You have no idea! ~. This video is epic. ~. I hope that you give Kyle credit for this one. Whew weeee. Oh my goodness. !!!
I really hope cities open up their code more for post framing, it's such a cool concept and the value from them is unbelievable.
This type of building has been in the code for 60 70 years
Well from my experience whenever you attach metal siding to wood there are issues with coefficient of expansion of metal vs wood. Metal expands 3/16 per 100' per 10 deg. Wood expands with humidity. If the interior is acclimatized you also have other issues. Fasteners will eventually leak because the metal works the screws back and forth from expansion and contraction. Metal frame building have expansion connections built in and fasteners stay put.
Huge fan of both of you guys. I’ve been learning a lot from both of you for the past few years and absolutely appreciate your content!
For a few years now I have been thinking of selling my home and getting a piece of land and putting a large manufactured home on it and live comfortably and debt free...
However, that changed once I saw this video. I so want to go to go post frame structures instead! Honestly these barns and homes are beautiful and spacious. If I could afford it I would build a home between 2700-5000sq. ft. Then have a 5000sq. ft barn/guitar showroom/cocktail lounge and studio all in one built for all my music and hobby needs. But most likely (at first) I would only be able to build a modest home with what I sold my home for...but that would be enough. Keep up the good work Matt, and please keep those prices low so many of us can get the home of our dreams without breaking the bank or staying in debt for the rest of our lives. You are awesome. Peace
This tour was 100% worth it.
I love this style build. Decision made. Im building a post frame barndo. Definitely doing black and white steel. I like the stem wall foundation the best. I like that alot of space can be covered with steel inside ruling out heavy drywall that needs multiple finishes. The post frame design makes for fast building results too. I guess we'll leave old school pole barn construction up to the Amish folk. Glad to see you two guys get together in a video. Great work you guys do.
I watched them build the Hunting Cabin. Great project.
More like hunting lodge
Never disappointed in your vids Matt. Always stay with them to the end.
You and Kyle both have the people skillset that buyers need to be comfortable with their projects.
It is becoming more popular in Tennessee as well. The last two houses I have built have been post framed... Keep up the great work R&R !!
Where in Tennessee do you build? Will be looking for a builder soon

Two of my favorite UA-cam Builders! Gotta love true craftsmanship! Thank you guys both for excellent content. Love you guys!!
holy shit that plumber on the last house *chef's kiss. I was a maintenance plumber before becoming a commercial construction manager and damn that's great work.
Two of my favorites coming together! I’m in heaven. Love you guys, Lee
The only 2 building channels I've been subbed to for years are these 2, so that's funny that there is some colab here. Didn't expect that.
Kyle is my favorite builder! Love his post frame buildings. We just built a “barndominium” and love it!
Not my cup of tea architecturally, but for decent cost-effective buildings, hard to beat the speed/price. Blower door test would be interesting - how well does the house wrap stop air leaks?
The "Hunting Cabin" encouraged me to use all T & G knotty pine when I finished my basement...which, 4 years later, I love more now than ever.
There is no way this building is just going to blow away. You want to see buildings that will blow away go check out cheap track houses. The drywall and finishes probably hold up great because it is being done in a completely dried in space. You can even take it to the next level by climatizing the interior for the build out. Awesome stuff.
What about earthquakes... hurricanes?
Matt, thanks for the intro to Kyle "RR Buildings" bacame instant sub ... great stuff by both
My parents have been talking about building a barn and living in it. Thank you! For showing me that it's not that crazy and is doable.
My favorite 2 constructions shows by far, I’ve learned a ton from these two guys
People want square footage for a low cost. I'm his target market, my wife however will need some convincing.
Introduce her to the “she-shed” concept. 😉
I'm not in poor lol
The low cost is a myth.
@@TheKingOfInappropriateComments my post frame is 155ftx85ft and if I didn't want 5 roll doors it would have been cheaper per foot than my 2 pole barns. It's well insulated and has a full bathroom. They tend to be a good value but the "low cost"is a poor choice of words. Also the typical massive conditioned space can get expensive to heat and cool
@@jeffreyhill1011 That's true but the whole point is to have super high ceilings and tons of glass whether it's a wall of windows or a rollup door. And there's also the issue of resale value. As you can see from the comments, guys love it but having to persuade the misses means it's probably not going to have the wide appeal that say a timber frame has. I live in a timber frame by the way. Not to be confused with a post frame.
@ 24:20, OMG that looks awesome! Hopefully that's a video too. Kyle's building ideas make a lot of sense, definitely interested now. Thanks MR.
I thought for sure there’d be a clip at the end announcing Kyle as the latest builder coming onto the build show network:)
I wish I had a builder like RR here in NE Ohio. This type of construction shouldn't just be in rural areas. I'd love to see more post frame homes in suburban neighborhoods. Kyle's parents' home would sit perfectly in any residential area.
That is called a clerestory in architecture world in that last house. Sweet!
Oh my goodness! The one and the only Matt Risinger of THE BUILD SHOW! (My very most favorite build Tech guy). MEETS Kyle (and Greg) from R&R right there in Illinois. !!! Unbelievable ! R&R is the MASTER OF BARN BUIL:DING !!! Unbelievable! Wow. Hard worker and Oh so big! (I love Kyle). Wow Weeeee! Sooo Cool!
Almost bought a house once w an outbuilding so big guy could back his whole semi trailer in the left side rig in the middle still had an open bay ( it’s deep enough for a semi trailer. Upstairs studio bathroom kitchen two 12x 12 bedrooms on opposite corners and the main area had to be 30x30 . It was a mans heaven. That why wife at the time said no . I said why , she said because you’d never come to the main house lol
Matt, we have bulk wholesale Hemp Hurd available for hempcrete home builders. All hemp is grown and processed in the USA. No one in the world can beat our prices. US HEMP HURD
I rate this video, 4/4 awkward fist bumps 🙌
Nice video fellas.
hahaha
Matt, very cool to see you up in our neck of the woods! Thanks for highlighting some of our local builders!
Huh....when you recognize every build in this video, I guess I'm an RR fan! 😁 Just invite the Essential Craftsman next time and Finish Carpentry TV to, well, do some wainscoting and life will be complete!
Now that would be EPIC!
great presentation Matt and John. I had the sound mutted but I just know you talked so much sense from the multitude of hand gestures and the awy your trucking, cant wait for the next one, you guys really kill it wow. Time lapse showing the complete construction just doesn't do it the way talking heads does, what more can I say ...again wow, and so many numbers and figures flashing up on the screen too wow.
I own a spray foam company....I was driving home from Florida and seen these things popping up everywhere but by me in Rockford...Wow. Super cool brother. Closed-cell spray foam combined with radiant heat is the real deal...Nice stuff guys...very nice....
Cool buildings. Dang, that plumbing work is gorgeous. I can't compliment the plumber enough. Fantastic plumbing work!
if i ever move to illinoise, i will have kyle build my barndominum.. nice work as always RR.
Please do
This is awesome not sure why this suddenly popped up on my feed. I watch your channel all the time but live very close to these guys. That is awesome. Love middle of no where Illinois as well.
Not putting anything down here everybody, but right around the 4 minute mark it shows the wood column off set of the concrete peer, by a lot, like almost on the side, and it showed a few of them, maybe someone can explain, cause it looks like a pretty good screw up
i think there is nothing to explain, the foundations simply do not match with the posts. Fail of the foundations crew?
Saw that too
18 hours !!!
I drove non stop except for gas, from Sacramento to Milwaukee in 32 hours..
Do the math of average non stop speed for 2,084 miles.
HINT, 65mph..
I was doing 125mph going through Nevada on I-80..
Great days in the 70's..
Love the video, doing that work now..
Need a place for my 67 GTO and shop to work in.
You should feel special, he cleaned the shop for you. I don't even think his wife can get him to do that.
Really good construction, a solid step up from the pole barn. Good video. Thanks. That corner X bracing is kinda what they do in Japan. My guess is that the girds(?) are strong enough to hold the whole wall together if there's a twisting force, tornado, earthquake. I never gave much thought to a traditional framing brace running diagonally across multiple stud bays until I was in Kumumoto, Japan a month after a serious earthquake in 2016. Those braced corners didn't do much, the structures twisted about 15-20 degrees and the roof collapsed the whole 1-2 story building. What's different is there was nothing like the girds tying all the 'stud' bays and the whole wall into a single plane.
I went all over Japan, roads, bridges, modern sky scrapers - all built to the highest international standards. Domestic houses, barns, small businesses - wood structures I saw zero effctive bracing (but I didn't see much new construction) It was weird. I think they based the structure on the Chinese temple structure which is very earthquake resistant, but then to make houses and barns they eliminated the key features that make the temples so resilient. (And a critical factor are those heavy clay tile roofs. The old shack on a steep hill that I live in will survive earthquakes - been through dozens already - is because everything is so light weight)
This Post Framed structure? I want one. And if I was still thinking about the bracing... I'd ask, or pay for the extra engineering to reassure me.
The cupola. Good detail. If you had any kind of a below grade basement with windows (small basement windows work well I know from experience) then just opening up the cupola windows would keep the whole house cool in the summer. My dad did this on our house in Michigan (but had a huge ceiling fan instead of the cupola). In ... Mississippi (I think) an antebellum mansion was a multistory octagon, cupola with windows... don't remember the details - but same convection idea - stayed cool. And the high school my son taught at in Japan had clerestory windows that a thermostat mechanically opened and closed. No other air conditioning. Cool and good air movement in the hot summers. Japan gets as hot as the midwest.
I was thinking of getting a piece of land, big barn and an Airstream parked outside. It would be really easy to just build a nice weekend home on a second level along one side.
This is great stuff. I love the simple barn style with the ability to adapt to a home setting. beautiful. 👍🇺🇸
Very cool that you hooked up with Kyle! I've been subscribed to both channels for a long time!

You are this close, you might as well stop by Minnesota and check out my mid 80's house that has all the stuff you always talk about.
I use under slab heat... latest from the engineers is to "not" insulate under the slab just around the rim and in about a foot... when the dirt under the floor is heated, it becomes a "thermal mass" maintaining the interior temperature longer and using less circulation cycles per time duration... and your options on how to heat the liquid under slab (we also cycle it through masonry seating around fire places and pits)... so wood, (propane) gas, (solar) electric, etc. can all be interchanged (or switched to) at your "heat exchanger" manifold...
