It's nice to see someone who from time to time has issues with building stuff. I believe our creator created us with the abilities to make things. We just gotten away from the simple stuff. I am enjoying watching you build your little home. Look forward to seeing the end result.
I live where it DOES rain quite a bit, and we don't USE OSB for flooring like that. We use plywood, which isn't as vulnerable to water as OSB is. Another thing we do is only lay down temporary outdoor rated sheets as flooring until the structure is under roof. We only install the permanent subfloor AFTER the roof is up. We use the outdoor rated sheets that were temporary flooring as the sheathing for the roof under the shingles. OSB and particle board isn't used much here for structural applications, it's used more in cheap furniture and cabinets.
Thanks for sharing your construction adventure. It's weird, but I feel like I somehow accompany you a bit while you do all the hard work. I understand that making these videos is an extra effort for you, but I would really like to see the end result and toast your success.
Hi, there were just simpson ties specific to my beam and post size, I had to order them online though, they weren't typical at a big box store. The engineer actually decided the posts be embedded in concrete and to the specific depth. I think a bracket wouldn't be sturdy enough and would need cross bracing. I'd ask an engineer :) I just drew my own plans, then an engineer looked them over for $800 and gave me attachment types and strength needed for my area (it is built for a crazy amount of snow load!).. Cheers
@@markkarnowski5323 Thanks I have an engineer who approved my plans too. I was just curious about your reasons. Where I'm building, that type of foundation was very popular for decades. It's very strong. I am going to use steel strapping embedded into the concrete as well as the posts. That way I can tie the building to the concrete itself and I think it will add strength. I'm in a high wind zone. I work by myself too. Some days I think I've lost my mind. Lol Thanks!🙂
You know a slanted roof would be huge pieces to lift up by myself. The problem is the snow load is 131 lbs per sq ft, so the roof is way over built. The tiny roof has to be 2x10's as it is, they were heavy. Its based on a 50 year highest snow load.
Are you kidding me ? a quarter inch short ! that is not a door casing or piece of furniture ; very good professional carpenter would not bother about that

I like your 2x6 framing.
Really enjoy your videos 👍
Great little series man. Very educational for me as I am planning my own beginner build. Would love to see your end result!
I've had my struggles with my build also...most by myself! Thank you for sharing :-)
Badass, it’s awesome to watch your videos! Very inspiring

Advantech is better with water than OSB or plywood.
@@jshepard152 Probably, but if it isn't also CHEAPER, nobody around here will use it. 🤷
I'm watching the entire series again after a year and a half. Did you ever get to uploading your house plans?

Great job man👌🏽
you're a beast mate
Hey mark, is there an episode with you venting the plumbing? Awesome videos man, inspiring all of us to do the same
Hi Mark, very cool! Pretty Counrty. I didn’t watch the whole thing as I won’t be building any houses! Ha!
God speed!! and Dobra Robota!
Nice job
Hi
What did you use to attach your beams to the posts? Did you consider cast in place brackets on the concrete footings instead of the posts?
Thanks 😊
