  • Installing trusses is by far the most enjoyable part of the process. You get to be up in the air, pounding nails, creating something awesome. The building is really starting to take place, so stick around, and tell what you think about the project. Hit that bell so you get notified every time RRBuildings posts. I appreciate the support!
    Drop in the comments what the biggest clear span truss is that you have installed.. loved to hear!

    I think the word you’re looking for is “lateral” strength. I seriously want to thank you for the procedural tips and opening your company up to UA-cam. Having guys that work together as well as you and your crew does is golden. I sense that you and your guys can almost work silently and can anticipate each other’s next move. Your accuracy and attention to detail is impressive. “Making do” and “good enough” don’t seem to be in your vocabulary. I’m pretty sure I’m not alone looking forward to your videos. Thank You!

    It is a very good book for beginners as well as for those that are already into ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt A very good basic ebook to keep as a reference too. I like it and the way the subject matter is presented. It has humor and that helps with the reading.

    Another great video! I don’t like to give advice but when straightening out the pile of trusses I have seen a crew take there skid steer and slid the fork over to one side and put a block up against the mask and run it up to the truss and give it a little push. Never done just seen it done. Again great work and it’s great to see some real craftsmanship.
    God Bless!

I enjoy watching the building process and I am a little OCD so seeing how to pay such close attention to detail is really awesome.I find myself driving around Missouri looking at different buildings and noticing how their little details look compared to yours. I love how you show the entire build from start to finish. Thanks for making these vids!

    I know the chances of you seeing this is slim to none, but when you are trying to align all of the trusses to be even, what if you screwed the board like you normally do, but instead of manhandling them you use a piece of equipment and push against the screwed board? I love ALL of your videos. Keep up the awesome work. You guys truly have a good thing together and I wish you all nothing but the best!!!!!!

  • @DonkeyDongDoug
    @DonkeyDongDoug 5 років тому +8

    While you're rained out, could you consider doing a video on how to read one of the drawings supplied to you from your truss manufacturer? I've worked with all kinds of prints (grading, general construction layout, storm drain, irrigation, sewer, water, GD&T for automotive parts, machined parts, housing foundation) but I don't think I have ever seen a roofing/truss print. It would be something new for me.

  • @chrisfreeman6102
    @chrisfreeman6102 5 років тому +2

    I believe you said use machinery whenever possible just take the Tele handler and extend it against the board you’re hitting and you’ll be able to shift the whole stack without swing in the B M F H.

    • @RRBuildings
      @RRBuildings  5 років тому

      That is true... it’s not that easy though... it would be a constant back and forth trying to straighten them out... I’ve tried... but maybe with two machines on each end

    • @chrisfreeman6102
      @chrisfreeman6102 5 років тому

      I was quick to say something. Sorry,...Because I just got done watching you with the Tele handler left the cornerpost and I was laughing inside thinking you just said “ use a piece of equipment when ever possible .LOL it’s all good.
      I read another comment/reply using a angle iron , you could screw a piece of steel... (brick lentil) with GRK RSS rugged structural screws to straighten a stack and your skid steer to push. I just want to say thank you for all the info and knowledge you’re putting out there.

  • @smcox1991
    @smcox1991 5 років тому +1

    If you screwed the board at the bottom you could've pushed them with the back section of the forks on the skidsteer. Those are some big floppy trusses it's crazy just how strong they are.

    • @guerillalife
      @guerillalife 5 років тому

      Just take a piece of scrap plywood and trace the uneven edge of the lumber pile... cut that out and make a jig you can hang over the pile at each purlin mark on the top truss. It will take a few minutes to cut the jug but you can mark the whole pile at once.

    I'm not qualified to give you any advice, however, you should try a brad point bit when pre drilling your lumber. It should cut your drilling time in half as it not only cuts better, it clears the chips faster as well. Love the videos and the education!

  • @justinmarcotte5272

    Kyle, curious how you set and attach your end trusses especially at first. I think i have it figured out but if you havent already done some video on this it might be of interest for some. Also maybe just a little more detail on the in between truss connections too. I think you have and are doing an indescribable service to the folks like me who are using your videos as an instruction manual. Thank you.

    Friendly service announcement from a crane guy. 00:12:20 Yes you have ample rating slings in the video , but don’t use that basket rating unless you are lifting a cylinder 25times bigger than the diameter of the sling itself. In this case 12.5 pipe or bigger . That’s how they get that rating and Anytime you introduce a kink in the sling it reduces the capacity. Ps. The bucket trick is great thanks for the idea!

    Hello Kyle. Im wondering about the truss to column connection. With milled or plained column boards, does it make the pocket for the truss a little too small for the not milled truss wood or is it not enough to make the top of the outer column boards spread apart making it hard to pull them back together for the bolted connection?

    • @dmckbtrs
      @dmckbtrs 5 років тому +1

      Only the side steel then? That explains it :) I've seen the offset purlins in previous videos and couldn't figure out how you dealt with it. If you don't how do you put the screws in the right place? What do you do if you put a screw in and don't hit wood? I know many who watch aren't pros so some coverage of dealing with little mistakes or problems like that might be good. Great work - I enjoy watching! I've definitely used some of your tips and tricks in my own projects.

  • @user990077
    @user990077 5 років тому +5

    I am curious what the difference in cost between engineered steel and post frame when a structure gets this size

      every time I have bid against steel, its not close until that 90-100 wide mark. Not sure what it's like in other areas, but that's my experience
