Fantastic presentation Kyle and Greg. Not easy to put yourself in front of a live audience and show your skills and knowledge on a stage setup. Very well done!
Awesome DEMO! My sons and I are building a post frame building with tools and techniques inspired by your best practices. I study your videos and appreciate your attention to detail. Keep the videos coming!!
Good for you. Your passion for proper building is so important. You don’t have to be a good public speaker to draw an audience, you have to know what your talking about and it makes it easier. And so great to see you as a leader giving Your helper so much credit. You are the person apprentices want to work for. You did it live and didn’t flinch. Total credibility. That’s why your are where your at and million followers! Greg is an amazing carpenter and knows your next move. So awesome what you do.
1:01:17 On drilling the bracket bolts, if you drill halfway in from either end, it minimises the skew error, and you don’t end up coming out in slightly the wrong place
This a great video. It takes a lot of courage to stand before a group of industry peers and speak/demonstrate what you are doing, how and why and be open to comments/questions. RR is an exceptional leader in this space and this type of video really showcases their expertise.
I'm not a builder. Just a guy that loves post buildings. Spend weekends in my shop. Yes my posts are in ground. I have those plastic protectors, but always wonder how rotten these 12 year old post are getting. Guess I'll find out when the right wind storm comes through. Thanks Kyle & Greg for the demo. I enjoy watching you guys make works of art with every video I watch!
I'm not in the trade but I do enjoy taking on projects around the house. I love watching the process in hopes of learning something new - especially if its saving me time or hassle. Thanks for being so passionate about what you do and sharing that knowledge to boot.
Awesome presentation, I really appreciate you guys stepping up and showing not only the audience but millions of us viewers how to perform quality post-frame work/construction. Outstanding Gentlemen.
I do what you do, but with software. It's not easy to spend an hour and a half in the spotlight talking, calculating, and trying to teach or convey a method. You and Greg did an amazing job. I hope you do more of these in the future. We're building our post frame this fall and it's all starting to make sense. Thanks you two!
I enjoyed the presentation with Kyle and Greg! I watch all of your videos and appreciate the effort that you put into your videos for our education. Thank you!
Great demo guys. Love the channel and can't wait to start my own building this year. By the way, it's called a spirit level because the fluid is some type of ethanol base, not water. When your apprentice uses one as a pry bar and cracks the vial, you can smell the spirits.
Excellent video for demonstration and information on your style of construction. With all the videos from your start I have gained insight on things I could have done with my post building. Thank you for sharing what you have learned over the years.
What a beautifully done ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxYGamVaHfdHiPlAQaLa7zkwR02OKpGYDU ! The instructions and the photographs are brilliant. It is thorough and genuinely informative. Ryan got another winner! No one does it better!
Let us say thank you for the video and for the presentation it's really illuminating on what new things can happen in the future we look forward to this great content in the near future keep up the great videos
Amazing. Thank you so much for your extremely informative teachings, as always. Love the attitude, the spirit, the will, the ideas. I guess I have to subscribe rather than getting your videos now and then. Congratulations anyway, coming from the Airforce, I fully appreciate the standardisation with best self correcting practices towards quality and efficiency. 🙏👌👍👏👏👏
''maybe you guys are realizing i have trust issues with other peoples work'' 🤣🤣🤣 i had to laugh!! but man, that is so recognizable. what an exelent demo and presentation!!
Never will I deal with Amish again.. ever.. 1/3 the price. 2 workers. Brothers I'm sure. Shit care for detail. Soffit, fascia, windows n gutters. Fuck em through n through. Not in today's world
Kyle, great live presentation that you and Greg presented. It looks like you work well together as a close knit team. Keep up the great work and videos, I am learning a lot by watching you both work. My son and I are planning on building a couple of post frame building next year on our property.
Great video! You guys should do a similar long format full in depth video, full build REAL-TIME and REAL BUILD of at least the main shell. Mainly for us dummies/rookies who are extra slow. Thanks for the great content, keep up the good work!
Guys, I am a retired General Contractor and Mason. I have done live show presentations and demonstrations of how to complete various ways of doing things. Great Job. I know how difficult it can be not wanting to bore your listening audiance and yet take the time error free to show them how your methods work for you.
I hope you do more these live trainings. I’m a slab on grade builder and this is fascinating to me . What is the best way to stay informed about when and where you hold demos like this one ? Thanks for all the educational content and showing people that quality workmanship is still out there .
Very interesting the way you frame. As far as cost efficient, I like to frame 4 foot ladder sections. I just shim the double top plate for a level ceiling and roof.
Hey Kyle, loved watching this video. Thanks for taking the time to do it. Finish carpenter here, and it occurred to me, why don’t you guys throw a 1/2” x 1” chamfer on the outside of the column bottoms, so that they can more easily slide into the foundation brackets?
Watching the series in this build and being an electrician, I believe you have other conduits which penetrate your air control layer. I recall seeing conduits going to the attic area through a top plate. Any and all conduits which break the barrier need to be fully sealed after wiring has been installed. In Canada we use a product called "duct seal compound'. It is a type of putty that never hardens fully so it could be removed down the road if ever needed and then reapplied. It's approved for use around electric equipment. We use it to seal the service entrance conduit primarily to prevent condensation inside the panel when moist air mixes with cold. Love watching your work! I'm always impressed with the quality steps you take. I try to provide the same as an electrical contractor. It would be great to work on one of your projects as we are like minded with respect to quality and continuous improvement! Keep up the great work!
Always enjoy watching your videos. Funny, I was watching the video and saw one of my buddies walk past. 🤣 On a side note, I'd hire Greg, less talking means more work getting done. 😉
Man, I don’t even build for a job anymore and I love watching the industry get better and better. I just wish there were as many craftsmen as there are people building. It seems that “we” are not getting any smarter…it seems.
Just for curiosity in Serbia we still level the larger distances with a cca 7 dollar water hose filled with water which has more accuracy than the laser nivelator. Because laser has some 4mm tolerance on so many meters and water hose has none. Yes, you got it right, seven euros or dollar.
How do you correct for temperature when the sun comes out and your hose and water expand? Infinity variable returns...new lasers are +/-1-2 mm over 300'. Better than any worker or pencil width
@@soving I didnt touch all the details. Water has to be cold and it has to be used right away. Warm water has bubbles. As far as tolerance I read in the manual 3 or 4 mm depending on the model. The hose cant be pinched. I am saying its cheap and accurate.
@@soving or to simplify the answer, you spill the lukewarm water and sifle fresh one from a bucket or such. I was trying to tell people that a cheap and very accurate alternative exists.
Post in the ground is a thing of the past. I put up a building in 2018 and noticed on the north side the post are already getting bad. Their showing 3/4" of rot. No more post in the ground for this guy. I my cost a little more for cement, but you have something when your done. Now I'll have to send a lot more more to fix this problem.
I looked up the construction master pro and it's actually a subscription service. Quite cheap for a pro who makes a lot of use out of it but still a monthly cost.
Hello Kyle! Awesome presentation! I love you’re attitude and all the teaching you do, I’ve learned a lot from you since I started as a carpenter 5 years ago. I have been hired on to a union job and I need some new boots. Any suggestions? also what boots are you warring in this video. Thanks!
Can you make a video of how you calculate and make the angle cuts for valleys and hips by drawing it out on paper? I'm a visual constructive learner. Or do you have a video like that? Going to apply for a job in this trade soon.
I roughly cut my frame from round logs with chainsaw. Burn-charr piece that goes in ground, put gravle in hole bottom, and connect logs with bolts (predrill holes). If roof is not leaking, stands strong over 20years, no problem.
When setting your brackets in piers are you shooting for the center of the pier or an offset to one side and how are you determining finish height of the piers assuming a concrete floor? Additionally I have been searching to find if you are building your own post onsite (is this an option) or purchasing them. From this video and your Key to Financing video is seems you are buying them. Could you do a video on both of these or maybe a short? Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Hey Kyle and Greg - I love your design but was wondering if you have any aspirations to use an alternative foundation to your posts as concrete production/transport/pouring is terrible for the environment and probably will crack before your building fails. Something like granite blocks or stone?
Great Demo! I am currently planning a heated farm shop, I am doing a 54'x72' it will be on a foundation 16' sidewalls, I think 2x6" , 16"oc studding, 1/2 osb on the outside, and will be tin on the inside. I am doing this because I think it is the easiest as far as insulation. What is your opinion ?
I would not agree. all those studs are going to be thermal bridging...our 8' OC posts are better for that but I also understand if you want to do something more comfortable for you. it will be fine don't get me wrong
Not a builder but enjoy your content .. one question I just thought of.. Do you account for the thickness of the bracket under the post or does that 1/4" matter since it is consistant
Yes and yes we do account for The bracket and if you didn’t have a bottom on the corner you’d add 1/4… but then again it would automatically add 1/4” with the grade stick
The Amish build with extreme efficiency and craftsmanship. Nice to see them assessing this presentation - the meeting of two worlds.
talk about tough public!
Yes!
Fantastic presentation Kyle and Greg. Not easy to put yourself in front of a live audience and show your skills and knowledge on a stage setup.

Great boss, you can tell he trusts and knows Greg is competent. Speaks to Greg as a co-worker which makes the for good day to day teamwork

Props to doing this with a live audience!
Wow,amazing demo Kyle .Good teaching.Thanks for helping me understand how to use the laser level.Good job as usual Kyle and Greg.Thankyou.
Love this presentation haven’t seen one like this!! Post frame builder from MI✋
Kyle is a key creator into the future. Thank you Kyle and Greg, and thank you RR Builders
You guys are amazing! It's real joy to watch you doing what you do! Greetings from Russia

All you have is your "BRAND-NAME", brother and from your videos I see stand by it.......GREAT JOB....
you came such a long way ive been watching since you started but keep up the great work

Great demo Kyle and Greg. The audience was riveted. Public speaking is NOT easy. I hated it but I overcame my fear. You seem like a natural.
''maybe you guys are realizing i have trust issues with other peoples work'' 🤣🤣🤣 i had to laugh!! but man, that is so recognizable. what an exelent demo and presentation!!
Great presentation! Your knowledge and skill of explaining the process is awesome!
Great job guys' It was cool to see you in front of an audience! showing how real-world problems that can happen.
Rocking that Truewerk gear 🤘. Great presentation and demo, you guys rock!
YALL ARE AMAZING. I cant believe you share so much knowledge. thanks bunches!!!
Great job!!! Love the fact that you guys care for the future builders.
Guys are going places.
I love watching the Amish guys learning how to build a better barn 😂
They could learn a thing or two. Some of the worst professional work I have seen is Amish. Quick and cheap.
I wondered if anyone else noticed that 😂😂😂
Where???
Never will I deal with Amish again.. ever.. 1/3 the price. 2 workers. Brothers I'm sure. Shit care for detail. Soffit, fascia, windows n gutters. Fuck em through n through. Not in today's world
Same thought 💯🤣💪

great video, you can always back off if something seems overkill, but it's usually too late to go the other way.
This was awesome. You do things the right way. Great presentation and explanation.
This guy is a great teacher!!
I learn something with every video. Great job 👌

this is the kind of thing that would be great for shop class in schools, Kyle!
You guys are SIMPLY THE BEST !!!!! EXCELLENT VIDEO.!!
Thank you for filming this.
2:47 Ole Amos and Fanny Stoltzfus want to know about electric corded drills. They wanna know how they run them without electric. Good video!
Excellent job
Great job Canelo 👏🏼

Congratulations on putting yourself in a position to do this presentation and then executing it so well. Much Respect ✊
I recommend you channel to everyone.

Ah, so that’s what the T brackets are for (corners). I’d never really thought about it before, thanks
Great job guys! School is in fellas!
Well done Kyle.
Great presentation!
Good Job Kyle
love your content brother. you put out a lot of educational stuff.
Newbie here, good job my man, I feel like I can do this now!
Always enjoy watching your videos. Funny, I was watching the video and saw one of my buddies walk past. 🤣 On a side note, I'd hire Greg, less talking means more work getting done. 😉
Very nice presentation
Man, I don’t even build for a job anymore and I love watching the industry get better and better. I just wish there were as many craftsmen as there are people building. It seems that “we” are not getting any smarter…it seems.
Industry is evolving for sure. Lots more ideas on ways to build better. We have a long ways to go tho
@@RRBuildings Kyle, kindly send me your contact, email or whatsapp, need to share you a problem please
@@RRBuildings is the post 2x6 tripled up or laminated ? And when you pour your footing how deep 24" by 18" ,and then pour your floor ?
Fabulous demo!!!
Thanks, Greg and Kyle. That was stressful to watch, let alone to present 😅. Good job.
Thanks for clarity, very well explained
Thanks again for another great video/tutorial.
Kool thanks for the demo

Liquid line(hose) is slow. These 2 guys put up a structure in just a few days.
Kyle, You briefly talked about doing a foundation wall vs drilled piers. Is there a cost savings one way or the other?
I also wonder if on a wall, does one need footing pads under post locations for the load distribution?
Awesome vid and so informative thank you so much!!
A white board would be great in your presentation for drawing. They're pretty portable.
Agree could have helped
Post in the ground is a thing of the past. I put up a building in 2018 and noticed on the north side the post are already getting bad. Their showing 3/4" of rot. No more post in the ground for this guy. I my cost a little more for cement, but you have something when your done. Now I'll have to send a lot more more to fix this problem.
Good adjustment on the fly.
Excellent I just about a piece of land and I do wanna build my own barndominium or post frame house 👍
I looked up the construction master pro and it's actually a subscription service. Quite cheap for a pro who makes a lot of use out of it but still a monthly cost.
Love watching your videos, Kyle. Is Greg your brother?
the Amish in the beginning were giving you the side eye
Awesome, I have lots of questions!
When will you be in Texas?
Great content.
Greg seems like a top bloke🤙hope to see him running a 2nd team one day for you Kyle! Would be 👌
If he wanted to that would be great
Hello Kyle! Awesome presentation! I love you’re attitude and all the teaching you do, I’ve learned a lot from you since I started as a carpenter 5 years ago. I have been hired on to a union job and I need some new boots. Any suggestions? also what boots are you warring in this video. Thanks!
FYI The Simpson Titan has an approved one to one replacement with an old style foundation J bolt.
Great video, lots of info! What kind of pants are you guys wearing in this video. They look comfortable.
Can you make a video of how you calculate and make the angle cuts for valleys and hips by drawing it out on paper? I'm a visual constructive learner. Or do you have a video like that? Going to apply for a job in this trade soon.
Where were you guys at in Pennsylvania near Amishville?

Love your skill set, what tool belt brand do you two wear?
Not a builder but enjoy your content .. one question I just thought of.. Do you account for the thickness of the bracket under the post or does that 1/4" matter since it is consistant

Yes and yes we do account for
The bracket and if you didn’t have a bottom on the corner you’d add 1/4… but then again it would automatically add 1/4” with the grade stick
I’m glad I clicked on this video
Just wondering what nail bags you are using. It's hard for me to find bags that I actually like.
