I really appreciate seeing an accomplished UA-camr and DIYer have the same struggles as myself! Parts not arriving on time, parts getting messed up in the mail or delivered to the wrong address, not having the right tools, struggling with the ladder, measuring/cutting wrong, changing your mind about the color of something 4-5 times and still not being sure for a whole ride home. I feel less alone in this world LOL!
In mid april, we started our 20'×24' pergola and id like us all to take a moment to appreciate what we wives go through when watching, standing guard and observing our husbands who insist on doing these jobs with their aging muscles and dwindling balance without help from other friends with aging muscles and dwindling balance! Its extremely emotionally and psychologically taxing leaving us SPENT after a full day of hubby pushing the limits! True Story y'all.
I pay my life insurance and work by myself, that way I don't get distracted. God forbid something happens, but if I die, as I bleed out or suffocate, those final moments may be peaceful, rather than filled with ineffective shrieking of my loving wife.
Stain the ends of the cuts of the wood! Did a mailbox with PT 4x6 and looked great with a light seal, came back 2 weeks later and had wood splits starting from the ends. Adding more stain and to the ends stopped it from spliting 😊
19:29 for the back of the roof panels, old school wives tale, rural legend, call it what you want....use light blue/sky blue. It supposedly helps keep wasps from building nests because they don't see it as protected from the sky. My parents did this with their outdoor porches and over the last 5 years the number of nests built is noticeably less than when they were the original darker color. Maybe it works, maybe it is luck or confirmation bias, but when I build my porch extension for my home I'll be painting it light blue underneath.
@@HAXMAN I tried telling my wife that... She said "Price it out.. if the wood is $1500 (which it looks like it would be.. I count at least 9 or 10 6x6 cedar post? 8-10 feet long?), I'll just go buy a gazebo from Costco" Made my heart cry a bit. :(
They aren't 6x6 cedar lumber posts from a sawmill, which would certainly run you over $1500 today. He did use 6x6 posts but I heard him specify that the entire project were pressure treated 6x6 post for the cost savings, which are substantial for (close to) the same structural rigidity as well as aesthetically more pleasing than 4x4's, don't want no wimpy crap..
Remember, it's not the fall that hurts...it's the sudden impact at the bottom that does! 😉 And it only hurts for as long as it takes your flesh and bones to heal, that's all. BTW, what is the Sherwin Williams number for that shade of "dookey"?🤣
You know what would be a grrrreat youtube series? The Haxman builds a composite deck. And you could even do it on site at a subscribers house! Like my house! I already have the footers poured please help a guy out... Lol
I agree. That would be a great series. Hey BTW, he could do a series on a stamped concrete patio after your composite deck. I’ve already got the patio area prepped for him!
Wooly Booger??? Like those tires I used to have my old trike? Yea she was a Big Red 200ES Rear AND FRONT Racks, High, Low, AND REVERSE Gears, PLUS NO CHAIN.... Yup.. she had a sweet DRIVE SHAFT!!! It was like a TANK!!! Except for when 15 year old me got my hands on tryin to fix it... Didn't know a dang thing about carburetors, fuel/air mixtures, spark gaps, OR compression... so pulling that spark plug in and out hundreds of times too it's toll while trying to get that sucker to start some days.... eventually the threads just gave up and shot the spark plug out and into the bottom of the gas tank..... :'( That was the last time I ever sat on her soft n comfy plastic foam seats while she was purring..... eventually sold her off to someone who knew what he was doing... he spiffied her up with new plastics, fixed up the bent racks from the flips we did together (unintentionally of course lol) and brought her back to her former glory..... he sold her to some Mexican kid that somehow set it on fire within 2 weeks and it was SCRAP :'( R.I.P. Big Bertha and your AMAZING Wooly Boogers that paddled me through many a HUGE puddle - - - Sorry about that.. you just managed to bring back memories I haven't thought about in about 25 years... Thank you :) .... And I got my eyes peeled for that dang wooly booger that's stalkin you... gonna turn 'em into a NEW set of tire if'n I catch 'em!! Use them big 'ol teeth for soem EXTRA GRIP!!! :D
*Love the proportions. 1/3 more work and you'd have a guest house!* *We've got a cheap sawmill and my wife immediately said: "What if you did it with 12" beams" lol.* *"We'll need a crane, or at least six more kids" I said.*
You are an inspiration, dude. I've got some projects that are not nearly as in-depth as yours, and I've been holding off on doing them. Watching this video has given me the willpower to get them done.
I was having a bad day and I came across your video. I hardly ever leave comments but you drew out quite a bit of sporadic chuckles… thank you for that!!!
I love that I’m not the only one with a plan that doesn’t go accordingly thing brake and we have to adjust accordingly and you handle it well thank you for the inspiration to keep going forward with DIY projects
Why did you go with 9’X 9’? 12’ X 12’ would have been way more esthetic more protective of what you might put underneath it. Just my opinion. I built a pergola that was 15’X15’ 11’ high and it was amazing.
I e been needing a large shade like this and now I have a blueprint. Your build is easy enough for a simple DIY but complicated enough for me to sweat the entire build. Keep those videos coming.
I just love how accessible your videos and projects are!! I'm a complete amateur woodworker, but watching this makes me want to go build a gazebo right now!! Makes it looks so easy, when it's broken down step by step like this. awesome video!
Sir thank you so much for being so REAL!! I respect and appreciate you sharing all aspects of your projects. Tools, techniques, skills and (my favorite ) your mistakes! It makes you relatable and inspires us to TRY your projects. PLUS, your wife is such an amazing assistant/project manager, truly inspires hubby and wife DIY teams! Of course I am a little partial since my name is also Kim, and I am the assistant /project manager and my husband Dan is the humorous muscle of our team! You two are the best keep making your videos and God bless you both!
we've built a shed for outdoor canning, etc. Timber frame, like yours, but with sides up here in the northeast. One side is my husband's. He was a mechanic, and it took a while to get all his tools and his toolbox here, Now he's putting his tools back in. Toolbox is 800 lbs empty. Anyway, the thing I most like about our shed that is different from our other farm buildings is that it has a floor. Rough cut hemlock. Under his toolbox is heavy thick plywood. Also, I like having an extra oven, especially since our stupid governor is making it harder to buy propane appliances. It's always good to have many ways to cook. And if you're a canner, to be able to keep the canning heat outside your house.
Absolutely a Great look and job. Just a thought, when putting in the screws for the roof, if you set the screw on the material and give the back of the drill a pop with your other hand the screw starts almost immediately. Just what I do and works for me.
Great way to use up all that used oil in save from oil changes. I do this all the time. Lasts longer than anything else I have tried and I think it looks good too.
I built one similar, years ago and I think I should tell you, after the fact. You should have vented the top ridge. If it is going to become a kitchen, the smoke has to escape. A fan is a must for flying creatures. Flies hate the fan and will stay away.
We've been looking at building something similar, but instead of a metal roof bifacial solar panels. They have these rubber seals that you can use between the panels now to make it an actual water proof roof, that charges things.
@HAXMAN I stay every time for these videos, the dialogue and charisma is gold… can’t believe I wasn’t subscribed, am now. Please don’t stop, you two are great!
✌️😜Just what I needed leading into the Father's Day weekend, a fabulous dose of HAXMAN humor 🤣💒A Blessed Joyful Father's Day to all the Dad's ⚔️ God Bless us All 🇺🇸🙏✝️
So the daughter and I were watching your video and after picking up the metal, we realized that we live very close to you. Enjoy your videos very much. Keep the project coming.
A good trick for being on roofs is to use a piece of foam from a old couch cushion it works for tin or shingles. Never had on move more than a inch or 2
"take a measurement and walk 30 feet, I'll remember it" been there too many times 😂 always entertaining content and fun for new ideas, looks fantastic brotherrr! 🍻 Love that momma haxman supports you so much!
You are a brave man. I just did a project like this with some 6x6x16 and they are HEAVY. You filmed it for all of us to see. You brave. Keep them coming and be safe.
Correct color: POLAR WHITE. If you're hot out there under the sun, send that energy back up to outer space. The dark panel gets hot under the sun and then the back of the panel radiates the heat down on you. Sure there's shade, but the heat is still a THING. Bright white roofs don't get anywhere near as hot underneath.
My family are so excited for this project. My kids love watching for the Sasquatch. My wife loves to get ideas for our new place and I get to build. Thank you sir.
Love these videos! Great projects and I appreciate that Adam keeps it real not afraid to act like a human being with fears and frustrations. Also, shout out to Kim- great job behind the camera and not afraid to jump in and help as always!
You rock!!! I'm retiring in a couple of months and was looking for a few ideas for the back yard since I will have nothing but time, came across one of your videos and not only was it educational, your humor had me dying and wanting to see more. I've checked out three videos so far and will keep going until I find a project I can handle and afford. Thank you and keep doing what your doing.
It hurts me so hard that you flexed so hard with those beams while that tractor sat so so close to this project. Then again, I believe as I type this that may have been your YT strategy because you knew it would drive every man crazy not to comment 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Good job. Looks great! Maybe an outdoor cooking adventure awaits
4:25 If you can carry it up a ladder, then you should have faced the ladder the other way and carried the timber over the shoulder. It is a faster more secure climb. The ladder parallel to the posts, and the timber sliding up those posts, makes it so if you lose control or get tired, the two posts will not let the timber fall towards the ladder. Once you get to the top the timber will let you know, it can be set down. The transition is a lot smoother. 6:20 Don't use the speed square to "drill straight". You can see in the video that it is NOT working. Use 2 pieces of wood. 2x4s will work. About a foot long each ( 6" will work). Make sure the ends are square(miter saw). Slap them together with the 4" (3.5") sides together and off-set them 1". Screw together. Drill the bit till the paddle goes past the surface or place a third 2x4 laying down on the 4 (3.5") side. Then place you 2x4s offset guild on top. By now you should be getting what is happening. The inside corner of the 2x4 offset guild makes two sides to place the drill shank on and keep the bit straight. You can make one end 90° and the other end 45°
I'm with you on heights and ladder falls - I live in Florida so our problem is gators in the pool, but I like gators so I didn't consider the little three footer who got into my pool to be a problem.
2:45 I suddenly felt better when he switched from the super fuel name brand honcho of the block mega cordless to the garage sale handsaw. Feeling better for a friend.
I'm trying to build a small 30 inch garage corner floor shelf and this is like the greatest tips and tricks for me ever. I am the greatest youtube tipster gawker. That's my title don't wear it out greatest brother !
"Meat that smells wierd... and then you eat it and are like..." That one got me good... I went back and watched it again just to hear you say it. You've got such a good delivery and your voices and impressions are what make me a subscriber. Thanks for all the laughs... I think your videos are funnier and more relatable when things don't go according to plan.
I did what you had to do on the roof of an old tinned horse shed. Things were loose and worried about the wind ripping them off. Thankfully it was in the winter, because once I started sliding down due to a coat of snow, I had a snow bank to fall into.
For future reference, use one of your angled cutoffs and clamp that to one of your uprights. That'll give you a ledge to rest your angle brace on while you're arranging straps, or maybe you can just get a couple of inches of lag screw in to hold things together so you don't drop it.
Ditch the drill and bolts for some powerlags or equivalent. Sooooooo much easier and faster. Love the dados. I personally removed all the wood at the sides. That gives me a flat plane to start the chisel which I move through the remaining wood on an angle. Sorta like how I was taught to plane.
VERY GOOD!! Just a BTW, I was taught a L O N G time ago...paint the soffits and underside of all exposed-to-the-open-air surfaces a "Carolina Blue"/Sky Blue (I lived in Chapel Hill, NC for a while, saying often heard was "If God didn't like UNC-CH, why did he make the sky Carolina Blue?). It 'stops' mud wasps/daubers and paper wasps from nest building (why?? No Idea, but might be seen as the sky, not a hard surface?" Also, very relaxing when underneath looking up, as you will be using the beautiful pergola/gaze-bow (as it was called in the movie "The Gazebo").
Use Masonite on your work bench to give you a smoother surface with no left over pencil lines and it’s easy and cheap to replace whenever needed. And yup cordless drills are great until the torque bites 😂
May I suggest getting some beam brackets to help take the load of the lag bolts. I know it's a simple Gazebo but for the few bucks that they are it will help it last a lot longer.
@@HAXMAN I think strapping the ladder to the timber is a smart idea. I get your fear of heights. It's not being up there that scares me, it's taking one wrong move and falling.
Very nice job, and I’m happy I got to see the two pups! 😉 My one mal (the alpha girl) is very intimidating-sounding and rougher during play and the other is just a happy-go-lucky little stud muffin that can take whatever the “queen” dishes out! Love them so! Incredible athletes and keep me going for sure. I’m certain I’d be way heavier (and completely miserable) if I didn’t have my pups. The third has his own requirements I have to accommodate, so after catering to all 3, my “me time” is 0 minutes. 😅

I love how the real highlight of this entire video is actually the beam saw bolt - and it keeps getting better.
The entire monologue of other things that scare you cracked me up. “When you open some meat and you can’t tell if it smells bad…”. pure gold!

2:45 I suddenly felt better when he switched from the super fuel name brand honcho of the block mega cordless to the garage sale handsaw.
Feeling better for a friend.
I love the fact that you used the mud mixer
I'm trying to build a small 30 inch garage corner floor shelf and this is like the greatest tips and tricks for me ever.
I am the greatest youtube tipster gawker. That's my title don't wear it out greatest brother !
I have to say, I am very impressed. Looks great!
You're so funny! Love the comedic commentary while you work!
"Meat that smells wierd... and then you eat it and are like..." That one got me good... I went back and watched it again just to hear you say it. You've got such a good delivery and your voices and impressions are what make me a subscriber. Thanks for all the laughs... I think your videos are funnier and more relatable when things don't go according to plan.
Thank you!
I did what you had to do on the roof of an old tinned horse shed. Things were loose and worried about the wind ripping them off. Thankfully it was in the winter, because once I started sliding down due to a coat of snow, I had a snow bank to fall into.
I have a picture of that exact "Dead People's Things for Sale" sign from 2014. Was at a crawfish boil across the street with my daughter.😆
For future reference, use one of your angled cutoffs and clamp that to one of your uprights. That'll give you a ledge to rest your angle brace on while you're arranging straps, or maybe you can just get a couple of inches of lag screw in to hold things together so you don't drop it.
That’s a great solution!
Ditch the drill and bolts for some powerlags or equivalent. Sooooooo much easier and faster.
Love the dados. I personally removed all the wood at the sides. That gives me a flat plane to start the chisel which I move through the remaining wood on an angle. Sorta like how I was taught to plane.
Wow that was an incredebicle descent into madness.
I saw a fella use a chain saw on some 6x6 studs. Not a bad idea if you just need a rough cut.
Just found your site - informative and entertaining.
Should have painted the underside sky blue. Nice color & would help prevent wasps & other like insects from building nests.
Defiantly not dinky looking. Nice Job ... thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
VERY GOOD!! Just a BTW, I was taught a L O N G time ago...paint the soffits and underside of all exposed-to-the-open-air surfaces a "Carolina Blue"/Sky Blue (I lived in Chapel Hill, NC for a while, saying often heard was "If God didn't like UNC-CH, why did he make the sky Carolina Blue?). It 'stops' mud wasps/daubers and paper wasps from nest building (why?? No Idea, but might be seen as the sky, not a hard surface?" Also, very relaxing when underneath looking up, as you will be using the beautiful pergola/gaze-bow (as it was called in the movie "The Gazebo").
Use Masonite on your work bench to give you a smoother surface with no left over pencil lines and it’s easy and cheap to replace whenever needed. And yup cordless drills are great until the torque bites 😂
22:02 I’ve never done this and it’s a great idea. I’m going to use it when I can.
I've always wanted to build a structure like this. Very nice job, and a great result.
"snakes in the mailbox" lol . Beam saw on my list WITH proper bolts ! Awesome, Thanks!
Manly dogs for a manly man. Perfect. ❤ 👏🏼
Man, you are so real, a standup guy, I've done the same exact thing. you have a new fan👍
and he's hilarious.
Dude! You’re good people and a blast to watch. Thanks for your content that has inspired me to almost do these things 🤣🤣
Wow, how am I going to build that? Oh my! I'm a great grandma bud!!! Goodness. Maybe use smaller dimension lumber. Yeah!
Great video. Not sure you know but, they sell a tool called a beam saw. That would have helped you with all the difficult cuts.
The Bigfoot cameo turned me into a fan 😂😂😂😂😂😂 love the video didn’t even know I needed a pavilion
I have a big patio and would love a pavilion. And a hammock and swing .
May I suggest getting some beam brackets to help take the load of the lag bolts. I know it's a simple Gazebo but for the few bucks that they are it will help it last a lot longer.
Haxman showing how T-rex would climb a ladder.
😂
@@HAXMAN I think strapping the ladder to the timber is a smart idea. I get your fear of heights. It's not being up there that scares me, it's taking one wrong move and falling.
I love when the Australian guy shows up!
This is exactly how I build things, and my wife laughs at me the same way I laugh at you. Thank you.
Great minds think alike 😄
the bigfoot at 11:31 had me dying XD
Definitely subscribing.
Love the projects and the goofy humor mixed with caring and informative personality. If that makes sense.
I'd like to can in the outdoor kitchen is perfect and it is what I plan to do
I build docks and we use 4x12 beams a lot. I have a 10" skill saw and when that doesn't work, I pull out my trusty chain saw
That thing build solid af.
Haxman is the Bobby Duke of construction projects.
Awesome job! I love how real life you keep it. Keep up the awesome work brother. 👏 👏👏
I just found the design Ive been looking for. Thanks
Very nice job, and I’m happy I got to see the two pups! 😉 My one mal (the alpha girl) is very intimidating-sounding and rougher during play and the other is just a happy-go-lucky little stud muffin that can take whatever the “queen” dishes out! Love them so! Incredible athletes and keep me going for sure. I’m certain I’d be way heavier (and completely miserable) if I didn’t have my pups. The third has his own requirements I have to accommodate, so after catering to all 3, my “me time” is 0 minutes. 😅
There's no stropping you! You are a bad ass!!!
There's nothing more Organic than oil. I've used it on my trailer decks for years because thats what my grandpa used.
