    Very emotive footage, your absolute determination to get the job done is so refreshing. Instead of complaining and trying find a way out you get on, excellent man. Take care at all times.

    Putting on a Gable roof is the height above plate the same measurement of the common rafter & the hip rafter.

    The video picks up with the concrete block foundation already constructed. Can you share the process you did? Is there a separate video showing what you did by any chance?

    Should have used a jack all to raise that up instead busting your back the foot would sat right next to it. Either way great work as always I enjoy the content

    You should get yourself a small crank material handler for these types of jobs. Makes lifting heavy stuff much easier.

    How is the beam supported? is it on that sub floor or does it go all the way to the foundation? both sides...

    I was thinking of adding on a 20x20 bedroom with 6x20 for the bathroom and closet, and 14x20 for the bedroom. This would be a great living room, dinning room, play room, but I am not sure if 14x20 would make functioning bedroom. Would 14x20 work well for a bedroom?

    Damn , your good 👍 I was nervous just watching you install that huge beam yourself ! lol 😂. Awesome detail & work . Congrats on a fantastic job well done indeed . Luv your videos . In a 4 season area would it be beneficial to install insulation under the flooring ? ? Thx again 👍⚾️

      I forget what the total cost was to the customer, but for an addition, you can figure $100/ft or more if you’re paying for the whole job.

    Do you do the foundation yourself? If so are the blocks sitting on plain dirt or is there drainage rock in place

      I didn’t do the foundation, but the block is on a concretel footer 36” below grade.

    Where are you located? Im watching because i need a back yard shed 12x14, I think? Some companies build them for you but i guess i have to clear the spot and put 5" of gravel over some landscape fabric. In a 12x16 rectangle. I hope they aren't depending on me to have it all square and level😢 any suggestions?
