    Man i guess experience gets you speed. Me and a church buddy have spent the last 4 Saturdays, a few additional days by myself, and a couple hours a day just about every day after work and so far the framing, housewrap, and roof is done. Framing took 2 weekends, roofing took 2 weekends as we had inclement weather. I feel like I'm never gonna finish this thing.

      heh, I was thinking something similar. I am an IT engineer but m dad was a master carpenter and built 12 houses all by himself. Sadly, I was a 'teenager' and didn't want to learn or do that work then... but now, at 47, I wish I had! I built a 12x12 shed on a 4in 12x16 slab (4' overhang on the shed for a porch area)... I had a friend help me 1 day and my brother helped me one other day and those days were basically lifting the walls. I did not have any help any other days! It took me throughout the winter of this past year but I finally got it all wrapped up, framing wise, by end of Feb. I bought engineered trusses and I just gorilla'd them up the side by myself. I am in NW Ohio so we had a lot of wind and a lot of rain... but once I got all the framing done I paid a guy to finish the aluminum soffit (I did that back side but at that point, I was 'done' with it.... and he did the vinyl siding too! I put 2 windows and a nice front door, I did pay someone to install an 8'x7' garage door (I still did all the framing). Earlier this summer I dug out in front of the garage and did the forms for a ramp and finished it myself too. It was frustrating (I was worrying about the trusses so much I developed a rash.... under my epidermis on the palms of my hands and bottom of my feet... and I have NEVER ever had anything like that before)... Sorry to make this so long, but now that it is all over with (I still have a little landscaping I want to do), I am actually thinking of ANOTHER structure, lolol.. I thoroughly enjoyed that experience (looking back). Where abouts are you located?

    Have watched quite a few of your DIY videos and written down quite a few pointers for myself from watching you. I'm going to tackle a 24 x 36 garage next year. I'm pretty handy with some carpentry background. My dad was a carpenter his entire life so I know any problems I run into would be just a phone call away from getting the answer. That said, watching your videos has given me tons of info for taking on this job by myself. I appreciate the time you put into these and the extra info you throw in for doing these jobs by yourself.

    When you sight your boards for the walls do you crown them in or out? I see you sighting every board on every build but I don't think I heard if you put the crown to the inside or the outside and why? I put the crown to the outside as nailing plywood is stronger than drywall so I find that straightens them and holds them better, would love to hear your thoughts.

    • @MyDIYAdventures
      @MyDIYAdventures  Місяць тому +1

      I put the crown up when I’m laying the studs on the ground, that keeps them from wobbling around while I nail them. I mentioned it in another video I think.

    Do you ever do slightly-oversized garages? I'm curious your opinion on if a client wanted an 11' wall - would it be cheaper and/or easier to build an 8' and 3' stud and stack them, or the materials to make a true 11' tall wall? Any complications or advice on that?
