Take it from a guy who has worked construction for over 35 years, Having the kids or anyone underneath a working area can become a terrible experience when something falls on their heads and sends them to the hospital.Believe me when I say I am no safety nazi but have witnessed it a few times and have changed my own ways because of it. You do nice work
Great advise I am doing an asistían all my self with two kiddos I entend on making sure they are no where under us
.
exactly why i scrolled down to the comments.. to say never work with them under you. A rafter falling could easily injure or kill them...
oh and also the ridge has the crown down lol
Saw that too and a couple hammer drops. Gotta put up delineators and teach the kids to stay out of the work zone! Aloha! Thanks for the video!
@@89Johneboy and twisted as shit
Im a contractor myself and i bring my kids to work as well. You are what a what a man should look like. Doing great.
Builder over 46 years, You did a great job. Very good tie in to the roof.
Thanks brother! 🤘
Good job! Cute seeing your girls in the background. Girls always want to be with their dads no matter what he’s doing.
Thanks Brother! Appreciate the support, yeah they're the best helpers!
I know how difficult it can be to work by yourself you're doing a great job
Thanks Tom!!
The wife was helping with her hands on her hips..🤣🤣🤣
In the future, if you cut a pair of rafters prior to erecting the walls it's a lot easier to get them perfect. Just use a small piece of 2x scrap as ridge filler,alot easier at ground level. Old new England builder trick
Thanks for your service! Great job balancing a large project, life, kids and family in general. Good luck ahead.
Thanks Dan, i really appreciate it! 🤙
The man is a "BEAST"....I have done projects by myself and it is crazy hard to get the work done and stay motivated. My favorite part is them little girls watching dad work and dad having his babies in his "feet". You are teaching us and them daughters will have high expectations from there husbands. Your so very blessed.
Thanks for the positive word Kris! You’re the man 💪💪💪
Motivation is my biggest problem, but I will beat it.
U are the MAN a one man Tornado roaring through this project I am Impressed shows it can be Done. Just Just watch those Precious Babys of yours!!!!!!!
Thanks for the support Allen. Were trying.
You’re building, recording, droning, and dropping rafters by yourself that’s impressive man!
Thanks for the support Almer! You're awesome.
...yeah, and all in 23 minutes!!!
It's obvious you had great treachers and no doubt your making them smile as you share with others. Keep up the great work, well done.
Thank you very much! That 7th grade woodshop class came in handy! 🤘🤘
Retired with over 50 years in residential construction. A bit late to help your project, but hopefully others. Good job, here are some pointers.
Your first joist should have been played flat and notched for rafter. Its easier to put gable studs in if it's flat. All it is for is drywall backing. Joist could have been put up on building and while layed flat cut to length after flushing up one end with wall. Quicker. Cat walks are usually put in at 4 ft or so from outside edge and nailed down. If attic space gets osb, put it down before rafters. Catwalks keep the joist from flipping over. Depending on roof pitch the top corners of joist are cut off so they do not protrude above roof line. That way full bearing on walls.
Hangers are not ties. Collar ties or 2x4 chokers tight under the ridge.
Usually because of roof pitch, ridge board is 2 inches larger then rafters. Say 2x6 rafters, 2x8 ridge. Ridge at overhang is ripped down to accommodate facia width or soffet. A V splice should have been used to connect both sections of ridge or the ridge connections should fall over the bearing wall and rafter layout. Sway braces needed from both bearing walls to ridge. Gable studs are easier to put in before the rest of the rafters. 2x4 nailers on the underside of gable end rafters makes a better job.
Facia boards on gable end should have been cut 3/4 longer and butted together at ridge. That way
the end of the ridge is not exposed. If metal or vinyl is going to be used to cover facia, it doesn't matter.
To add to this I would have framed the gable end and installed the sheeting before adding the roof overhang.
I lay my raffter material flat staggered to the pitch of the roof determined by measuring how much the pitch is from square of the board then step each board and snap lines for head cut the C cuts all have plumb lines then tails of the raffters all cut like ply wood one continuous motion. You need a pattern block to mark the seat cut of the raffter .but this flat cutting technique is so productive cutting hip valley roofs.Imagine 24ft material 4 PC's stepped to the pitch,then each side gets 2 22 ft then each side 20ft then 18 ft and so on snap a line through the center on the pitch of the roof set saw blade on a 45 degree angle and you have made so many head cuts for Jack raffters so fast. I lay two 8ft PC's ply wood 4ft end to end layout the degression of the raffters and set pairs each side of hip or valley Jack's to the lines.burn measurement of degression and measure common raffter length, mark and square across for C cut then double it for tails finish up with pattern block.all gables raffters are pre noched for out riggers for varge over hang.all Perlins and ridge braceing done with only enough raffters to hold up rigdes n perlins they help hold the wieght of the raffter makes it way easier nailing when your not stuggling with a 20 ft 2 by 8 by your self trying to suck it tight to the wall nailing the head or vice versa pushing up nailing the C cut when your 6ft 5in you don't want to be crawling underneath the roof this is the fastest method with minimal wieght to take sags out use strings for straight. I drive 16 penny nails set n sink .the raffters are sheeting backing the bulk is the last to go up they are just in your way I set vaulted curling raffters with flat 2bys for backing if multiple Perlins raffters set on Perlins like cat walks to nail gable stud at the top. Ya Ya I Know California wild child piece worker slop artist but we use to race for pay checks. I needed no fancy swing table saws or big Maketas to cut 5 1/2 in.tail cuts a skill saw with cutting flat, double sets of stickers might take 3 rows but I out cut 2 guys with chipper blades for C cuts swing tables and a big Makeet 16in blade.1980s I'd make $350 a day cutting roof by my self
I framed some high end homes for Randal Cunniham Eagles quarter back 10,000 square ft home in Vegas .Bill Cartwright Folsom lake Calif. I was no hack
I use to cut n turn 8,800 sq.ft of 2 by 12 floor joist n never pull out a tape in 2-9 hour days.lumber was spread on top
With the economy in such bad shape for so long I bet production is way slower today.I was taught from the era of LA. When phases of homes went in a 1000 house phases.there were people that all they did was frame walls. But they had it down to a science,20 years of framing walls, or floor joist, roof cutting that was your fortae.guys just hung siding.I was lucky that era ended and Sacramento took the boomers and I was able to learn from specialist.20 years later I went into heavy const.bridges water treatment plants hydro truth is the best Carpenters came from the residential market.roof cutters dictate not everyone can keep up with the angles understanding planes and transitions of hip n valley raffter const. I built roofs the draftsmen couldn't draw just a bunch of fadded blue lines.haha
@@mizzysharp943There are lots of ways to cut roofs. We always cut them on edge, (gang cutting) crown down, swing table, chipper and a converted skillsaw with a 20 inch blade. Never cared for the Makita. Would use a sidewinder on larger material to finish plumb cuts.
Today, cutting and stacking is becoming a lost art. Even big custom homes are using trusses.
I cut a slot in the temporary posts used to support the ridge beam.
Great job! I grew up building houses and now continue to do projects on my farm in Georgia so it's always good to see a dad providing for his family. We need more MEN like you in this country.
Thanks brother! I appreciate it! 💪💪
Nice well done this video seems so clear i never had been able to see a video that shows how to build proof so easy thanks for teaching the world exactly what to do and how to do it good job.
You should be proud. I learned a lot watching your video. I’m going to build a project this week that’s pretty likeness to it. Seeing how you made it working alone was inspiring: God blessed you buddy
Thanks Elton, I appreciate it! Good luck on your build! 🤙🤙🤙🤙
awesome vid thanks. Feels all to familiar to me. One guy juggling clamps, walking on a 2x with a nail gun. You will love the day you get the battery powered framing nailer...I got a piece of property in CO a few years back -- clean slate, nothing on it. I was thinking about going w/ trusses for the first build but after seeing what you did I think I'll do the same
Helpful video, my wife and I are taking on a 16’x25’ addition to our house and this helped quite a bit for tying the addition into the existing roof. Thanks
You got this! Glad it was helpful. Thanks so much for supporting our channel. 🤘
Thank you to share your experience. Good job.
I know how hard you do it by yourself, I done it before, but you did it an amazing job. Subscribed👍
Oh its no joke! Thanks for the support Charlie!
Don't worry about having cut the shingles back as far as you did. Keep it like that and straighten the edge. Pull up the nails holding the little pieces of shingles and run a wife flashing in the corner. Run it the same on the roof your building. Would save on replacing all the shingles lined down both sides just to get the perfect stair
Your a tough young man doing all this SOLO!!!!!🤙🏼💪🏼
No question “YOU DA MAAAAN!!!!!!
Thanks Tony! You're the man!
Great job I’m going to start a project on a house that I just got n this videos u make help understand more thanks for ur videos
I could be wrong (check with Simpson Strong Tie ) but I do not believe ridge hangers count as rafter ties as required by IRC. I believe they have to tie the rafters together over the ridge board with a strap or you have to install collar ties at 48" centers 1/3 down. Also you need to install hurricane ties or install a structural screw from the plate to rafter.
Spat on, toenailing the joists to the plate alone, doesn’t give the roof enough strength. He needs hurricane ties. That’s basic.
@@unclemony5939 what joists? It can be H-1 ties or structural screws both accepted by code.
Beautiful job clean and simple
Thank you!
Good job man, it's good to see such a young man can build, you remind me of myself as i work alone on my projects, keep building, it gets addictive.
👍😁👍
Thanks so much! RIght?! and you take on jobs that two people should do 😂😂😂
Thank you for sharing these methods of yours to build a addition. I feel like alot of us do not have the means to buy a house anymore and rich people are buying upp any new house available. We need to learn to build our own home and compare the price diferences from buying new home and building. I do not want a dream home, I want a home. thanks for helping me get closer to that reallity
Right? It's pretty crazy at this point. I want to build a whole home also.
Great work being a Carpenter myself i think you have made a very good Practical Great Video about the Sequence of events in building a roof. Great stuff .
Thank you sir for your very nice DIY tutorials GOD BLESS YOU
You are very welcome. We appreciate the support! 🤙🤙🤙
Turn out really nice, for one man job. I really did enjoyed watching it.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for supporting us! 🤙🤙🤙
Having done this countless times: I can assure you this is actually good work.
Thanks so much Michael! 🤘🤘🤘
Mark one line Centered over stud with a “J” on one side on the inner top edge of plate and an “R” on the other side toward outside top edge of plate. J | R respectively.
Great job working alone. I am impressed.
Thank you! We appreciate the support! 🤙🤙🤙
Watching from Palau. You do a great job. Thanks
Thanks so much!!! 🤘🤘🤘
what a nice job.
Diy+a 😮 I'm not alone is reassuring. I loved every minute. Nothing more rewarding then to look bak and say I did that
This is so true! Then you get addicted into chasing bigger projects!
Great job sir,you must feel very satisfied after doing this and that is what it is all about,also,it shows anybody can do this,just think before you cut.
Thanks so much! That right, and make sure you put the time into learning or studying either from someone else or by literature.
Excellent video, great to see something on a cape code home like mine. Very well done!
Great video actually made me feel less afraid of tackling my additional room roofing
Thanks! You got this. 💪💪
@@BreakFreeHomestead I appreciate the encouragement
Nice! You can get a monster overhang that will last for years with some interlocking flybeams too. I recommend them
My preference and recommendation, too👍
Appreciate that. I have a similar project it’s an existing roof, it’s an older roof. Think I am going to go ahead and reframe it then roof, your video help a lot.
Ofcourse, Good luck on the project! 💪💪
bien hecho..con ustedes siempre se aprende algo bueno
¡Gracias Alfredo! ¡Estamos emocionados de tenerte!
I like how you explain the work a new idea to do at home I like it
Thanks Esteban!
Wow!! You dig really good.👏👏
Thank you 🙌
Nice job thanks for sharing!
Thanks J! We appreciate it! 🤙🤙🤙🤙
Thank just came across your video and glad about it.. I'm going to add a 25 ft x 14ft room off the kitchen..
Thanks for the support! Thats going to be a nice size room! 🤘🤘
This show is so interesting. Thank You!!
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for being awesome!🤙🤙🤙🤙
Code requires collar ties every other rafter in the upper 1/3 of the rafter space.
I liked the video! It's always nice to have good tools, the right tools, good lumber, a sunny day, a wife not hanging over (or under you while you work so she doesn't hear you swear). I'm just learning, but I always thought when setting that main ridge beam, the main ridge beam should extend (with the angle cut already to match the pitch of the existing shingled roof) OUT to the end of your new to be roof (not including the overhang) and that the shingles should be removed already before setting beams. I dunno, maybe there's different ways to go about it, but that's just my thinking. Anyway, I loved watching, it looks so neat. Everything looks well built! Always good to learn the right way, not have to relearn and try to break old habits....
Perfect job,words are unnecessary.congratulations
Thanks so much Joel!
I am impressed. Doing that by yourself took some real talent. You sale yourself short.
Haha Thank you. Fake it til you make it. 🤙🤙
Good job!! Thx for helping me figure mine out :-) J García
Thanks J sor supporting our channel! Hopefully your project turns out well!
Great video, I’m glad I stumbled across your channel. Perfect time for a refresher since we are building rafters on our tiny house build at our 40 acre Arizona off grid property tomorrow! Subscribing now…..
Thanks for the support! What part of Arizona are you building in?
@@BreakFreeHomestead We bought 40 acres up in Concho Arizona
Nice! Maybe someday we'll be back in AZ
@@BreakFreeHomestead We looked at several states that we liked, and some potentially more self sustainable resources wise, we have a lot of family that will unfortunately never leave California so i wanted to be close enough to continue getting my boys around their grandparents on both sides, they are very close to them and thats an awesome bond, so AZ works for that well
Makes sense! My mom finally left California for Idaho. 🤘🤘
Nice! Safety should be a priority! No one should be underneath your work area, specially children 👧! And good idea to have an extra pair of hands 🙌
RIght?! an extra pair of hands would have been nice!
Amazing job done man. Keep it up. And be safe you and you family.
Thanks so much Marlon!
Great work done
Had you not sheathed the walls, you can test rafters on the shoe while safely on the deck below
Thanks for the tip!
This is inspirational
Good job
Thanks brother! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Fantastic
Thank you so much 😀
Asta que miro un video que explica y se mira todo el trabajo muy bien 🙂👍
¡Me alegro de que haya ayudado! Muchas gracias por el apoyo Alfredo! 🤙🤙🤙🤙
Love watching your videos
Glad you like them!
Nice job man, your work is impressive
Thank You!!!
,🏡. I watched every moment of your thoughtful process❤.
It's sometimes difficult to raise your children in a home that is never completed . Home can be their room , the kitchen where conversation never ends or a room decorated with welcome by the s.mile on your face or a warm embrace ❤ It can also be this completely yours 💫..
Thanks for the support!
Nice job looks good
Thank you!!!
Very good instructional video! Looking to add a front porch and tie into my existing roof and ran across your video. 👍👍🤘🏻🤘🏻
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for supporting our channel!
Great work
Thanks Javier!
Just found your channel and subscribed! Great job!!
Thanks! Yall are awesome!
Brother, I love what you do. I also do Structural and additions. I enjoy it a lot. It's just that where I live there are very few jobs.Just notice one detail in this addition that I do it differently.For 6" logs use 8" face, for 8" logs use 10" face. Maybe I didn't understand because I don't speak English well, but I congratulate you. Greetings
That's a much better than most "carpenters" out there, beautiful job!!
Thanks for the support! 🤘🤘
Awesome man keep up the good work
Thanks! Will do!
Friendly tips are fair, However, anybody criticizing this man from a TV screen should be ashamed of themselves. He's pretty much solo and did all of this. VERY inspiring. A true hero and living legend for his family. Salute sir.
Thank you so much for your support! You're the real MVP 🫡
@@jackhogan8148 your extremism and oversight shows.
I wonder how those closest to you feel about this in your personality?
Obviously you are one tracked mind and critical.
Read the first 4 words in my initial comment comment again. (Try going slow this time.)
No one (including you) doesn’t have to be a jerk to get your point across.
Being friendly, kind and having good manners goes a long way. Some like you get your manhood from being mean. The highest insecurity.
Carry on sir.
Nice video. Thank you so much for the info.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the support!
Thank you so much I am building a house too and I need to know how to build the roof I already know how to build the floor and the walls but not really the roof keep up the good work
Looks awesome man
Thank you!
Bonito trabajo en mi país Chile le llamamos envigados ala vista saludos
¡Gracias por el apoyo! ¡Estamos contentos de tenerte!
Nice work, nice video. Thank you.
Thanks Wil, appreciate it! 💪
Dude your awesome…. I so interested in building one also.
Thanks man! You can do it!!!
Nicely done. One question though. With tying Into the existing roof. Do you feel that new addition has the proper support when you attached the the ridge board to the roof? I am looking to extend my kitchen pretty much just like you did here.
Thx.
Yes! its sitting on the existing rafters over the plywood and nailed directly to them. Go for it!
@@BreakFreeHomestead The new ridge beam needs tieing in to the existing roof to prevent the roof from buckling. Also if you are extending the ridge,the cleat needs to be full bearing,also where are your collar ties for the rafters????
@@MrTicker69 This is not a ridge beam. It is a spliced ridge board that offers no support for the rafters. In order for it to be a ridge beam there would have to be support on each end meaning a post on the gable supported to the foundation and beefed up rafters in the existing roof system or a post at the existing exterior wall and designed for the cantilever.
The ridge board should have been joined halfway on a rafter.
You should have solid blocking between your rafters over the top plate of your walls, stops any movement and racking.
Neat work
Thanks manny! 🙏🙏🙏
This is awesome!!!
Thanks a lot!
WOW! What a great job 👍 Subscribed!

Beautiful
Thank you
Great job man!
Thanks!
very good video,well done sir...One thing i noticed that i felt was unsafe and had to share with you.I could not help notice your kids playing below you while you were handling those rafters and nail gun.I would urge you to not allow that while doing overhead work !
Dude. I was watching this vid on my tv. I saw those kids and were like wtf? Then i had to log onto my phone to see if i was the only one who had something to say about that. Man...some people just different. This isnt the only time ive seen something like this. What the literal got damn fuck?
Yeah I totally agree I looked for a comment as soon as I saw it
I was eating pizza and chips watching.... 👀
He said FTKids
Mmmmmmmm
Looks really nice. I'm thinking of adding some similar space to my place.
Thanks J! You got this 💪
I need similiar bump- out too. Great job!
Thanks so much! You got this💪
NICE JOB NICE VIDEO AND NICE ADDITION 👍 👌
How worried were you about a rain storm after you remove those shingles and underpayment? Is it basically a rush to get done or do you put a large tarp over it at the end of the day?
Very nice
Thanks!
Nice work young man
Much appreciated💪
Good job man
Thanks Kyle!
Nice job, especially if you did it alone.
Thanks! Probably would have been easier with another set of hands 😂
good job!
Thanks Thomas!
AWESOME JOB!
Thanks Ray!
Very impressive!
Thanks for the support Logan!
If I don’t feel safe I would never let my kids underneath my structure! I am sure he know what he is doing and those kids are fine! ❤
Thanks for the support Aaron. I think its just easy for people to monday morning quarterback when they are not doing much of anything.
@@BreakFreeHomestead My comment about having children underneath you when you are working is far from Monday morning quarterbacking and since I had worked in commercial construction for 35 years I am not guilty of not doing much of anything. I have seen skilled men who have worked in the trades for many years drop things onto others. Two children were playing under you when you were walking on loose boards using a nail gun for over an hour. You set that nail gun down many times and it could have fallen or been kicked off. The kids were walking directly under you many times. Fortunately they had moved just before you grabbed that rafter off center at 11:44 dropping down to the exact area they were playing. The only way we learn is from others, That goes the same for others mistakes. If someone gives you a heads up on a safety concern that is real then consider it as a gift, learning some things the hard way can be unforgiving for others as well as yourself. Trust me when I tell you I am no Safety nazi, I have no problem seeing guys risk themselves doing a job, I had no problem doing many things myself that was considered unsafe. The only problem I had was watching others do things that endangered the innocent.
UR a genius
Well I don't know about that but thanks!! 🤙🤙
