Thank you. That’s the easiest way I’ve seen to do gable overhangs before the roof sheathing is installed. I was taught to put the barge rafters & blocking on after the roof sheathing was laid, and that’s the absolute hardest way to do it. I’ll be doing it this way moving forward.
You can always tell when someone is making their own project. The extra care and "over engineering" is always there. I tend to do the same thing for my builds. :)
Thank you so much for taking the time to explain any details. I love how you show what type of nails and screws, and how you nailed every every single piece of wood. One of the best videos ever you deserve a #super thumbs up.
I really appreciate your video. This is exactly what I need to do on an existing roof and I was wondering how to go about it. Your meticulous attention to detail in making the video makes it easy to see what you did.
Thank-you for that video. Just what I needed. I have a shed with roof rafters that do NOT extend past the shed walls- (I know!) I couldn't figure out how I could build an overhang that would not sag over time. The support at the peak answers that question.
Thank you. I have bookmarked your video presentation to hold on to it for more reviewing as I prep for an extension build in the near future. Well done. I certainly deeply appreciate the visuals you did with colours to show where you nailed and screwed and what size screws you did. Paying attention to detail even when editing your video for viewers! Wow!👍💯 ☺🇨🇦🍁
BY FAR! This is the best and most descriptive video I've seen! Thanks for the amazing detail and in-depth description regarding the theory/reason for your actions!
I’d recommend doing a 3 1/2”dropped end gable to run your lookouts into the next rafter or truss and back nail the lookouts and start your sheathing at the end of the ladder and it’s tied into framing with a cantilever and the sheathing, making it much stronger.
On both ends of my house gable roofs are 1 x 12s extended to the end. I want to reconstruct the ends with soffit ladders and there are several saws that has become before me which which one to use. 1. Router with chamfer bit 2. Circular Saw 3. Reprocating saw 3. Jigsaw saw Which one of these would be great to cut the 1 x 12s.
not to nitpick but I noticed you didn't remove the last foot of sheathing up towards the gable end. You mentioned it in a previous video, and I thought it was a good idea. Anyways, I like your work and these videos!
How do you do the layout so the sheets line up on center? I see you pull from the square end of the frame, but then how do you know where the angle will be cut?
The weight that far out will cause it sag on the floating end. Actually, he is going over code which 12" is for a ladder rake. It's a little sketchy, but he did overbuild it with all those LedgerLok and HeadLok structural screws. Should be okay. The overhang can be increased to a max of 24", but another method of securing the fly rafter to the structure is required. The fly rafter can be attached with cantilevered boards called lookouts, outlookers, or outriggers depending on who you ask. I prefer this method regardless of the overhang. Not a fan of ladder rakes.
Can you do a video about a cieling that floats off two walls. The back wall would be 9 feet wide The side wall would be 8 feet deep. Off the wall the 1 foot thick beam would go off the side wall 6 feet and cut towards the beam coming off th3 back wall that's 6 feet deep _____ [ ] [___/ Kinda like that above but with no spaces between the lines

I'm trying to figure out how to build big overhangs on 2 sides of a building, can it be done? Or should I change the design to only overhang on one side? I want about 4 feet on one side and as much as possible up to 12 feet max on the other side. Seems like it will be too hard and I'll have to put posts to support the 4 foot side, then overhang just one part of the roof maybe 10 feet using 30 foot rafters? Or 30 foot trusses
It was a good video, but I don't see professional carpenters using the structural screws you claim are essential. Why would they be when nails are stronger?
Thank you. That’s the easiest way I’ve seen to do gable overhangs before the roof sheathing is installed. I was taught to put the barge rafters & blocking on after the roof sheathing was laid, and that’s the absolute hardest way to do it. I’ll be doing it this way moving forward.
I love how you included the little details, such as where and how many fasteners you use. Thank you sir! Few people show that.

Same here!!!

This is the best most helpful video I've ever watched about any construction. Thank you!!
Excellent video! No wasted words. Very clear. Concise. Just great!
Glad it was helpful!
Watch a lot of these framing videos. your pace and detail is one of the best. good job.
Thanks!

I recently found your page and am impressed with your work quality and descriptions of the activities. Thank you for sharing the journey!!!

This is a good video. You gave me some ideas and good advice. Now if it could just stop raining outside.
BY FAR! This is the best and most descriptive video I've seen! Thanks for the amazing detail and in-depth description regarding the theory/reason for your actions!
Very helpful video. You have alleviated my anxiety. Thanks
Thank god for the helper willing to climb a ladder and look up
very good way to explain spicily when you mention inch by inch with extra animations
Thanks
Well built. Well filmed. Well explained.
Credit also goes to your wife/partner for helping behind the scenes.😀

Yes, typical method. This method is fine, but I would run the sheathing back at least two bays.
@@stevelopez372 depends where you are and the snow load for your area. This would fail inspection for me locally
Excellent ! Just what I was looking for .
Fantastic video, very well explained. Thank you.
Nice job sir. Its great to see professional work done.
Thank you
This was extremely helpful. Thanks a bunch!
Very well explained. Excellent video.
Thank you so much for making this video!!*****
this was an awesome video - love the nail pattern marking
Thanks so much!
Thank you for the detail!
Amazing! I want to learn all you know. Very grateful for your help and time you have spent doing these videos.
Thankyou
Excelente trabajo 👌👌 saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱👌💯
excellent love the use of color coded dots the only thing i would have done is overlap the outside 2X6 so you dont have a full seem at the 8 foot mark
Thx. Very nice video.
Nice work!

Great video.
Great video. Thank you!
This is a fuccing really good video.
Excellent
Nice explanation
If you’re using a 2x6 for your fascia do you have to also use 2x6 for the overhang ladders?Thanks for the great video!
Normally yes.
Great explanation! Thank you.
Nice job
Looks great
How do you do the layout so the sheets line up on center? I see you pull from the square end of the frame, but then how do you know where the angle will be cut?
Nice video. Any reason not to put soffit on underside of ladder before installing?
Thanks.
You could, but it will make it harder to access nailing locations and also make it heavier / harder to handle.
were the rest of your rafters 2x4s? Just out of curiosity..
They are trusses
Would 2 feet be too big of an overhang using this method?
Yeah, I wouldn't go past 16"
The roof tie in with existing roof video, has you uploaded that? i've been looking for it
You say you made the ladder overhang 16" wide but did you account for the thickness of the sheathing?
Guess you didn't watch start of video
Thanks new follower
Question why only 16" for maximum overhang?
The weight that far out will cause it sag on the floating end. Actually, he is going over code which 12" is for a ladder rake. It's a little sketchy, but he did overbuild it with all those LedgerLok and HeadLok structural screws. Should be okay.

Can you do a video about a cieling that floats off two walls.
The back wall would be 9 feet wide
The side wall would be 8 feet deep.
Off the wall the 1 foot thick beam would go off the side wall 6 feet and cut towards the beam coming off th3 back wall that's 6 feet deep

Kinda like that above but with no spaces between the lines
CA local code allows 9" overhang like this. any body can confirm me it meets (where) code?

The sound was great, then it dropped to a whisper, then slowly faded away.
