This brings back memories. I was a rougher for 14 years. I'm surprised you didn't go LVL on the garage header. Here in the north we put all we can on all walls before we raise them. When raising walls we would put a pull brace just in case it would get cut by the wind or a guy over pushed too far. We also would put the facia on before we would plywood. This would allow a good starting point for the first sheet. Code here is that have to flash the windows too. Sometimes I miss it but most of the time I don't cause I do remodeling now which usually inside. 12 pitches are brutal, no fun. Be blessed my friend

Excellent work, Ken. Thanks for sharing your skills and talents with us!

Just found your channel, and I’ve enjoyed every video I’ve watched so far (6). I’ve been a roofer for 20 yrs and I’ve taken on some carpentry projects over the years but nothing like this. Your explanations, details, showings and skills are giving me a little more confidence in a project like this. Near future plans are to buy 5-10 acres and build a live in garage. Fingers crossed

I like the idea of "I" joists and whoever came up with the idea because it's simple technology, but yet it's far more stronger than a traditional 2*10 or 12 floor/ceiling joist. I'm not sure when they came out, but I would say 25 ish years ago because I was in the basement of a house that was built in the late 90s and had "I" joists. Pretty cool! 👍

Dear Ken, Im one of the proud subscriber of your channel and `i enjoy every video `i watched so far. `thanks for making this happen. My heart was pounding when you were on that ladder and I know you probably did this million times but for light hearted subscribers like me try to use some safety ropes. And teach us how to use it. I do have a request, could you please do few detailed/separate video on the tiny detailing we miss in the videos like ... 1:10 how do you mount the frames or attach it to the cement slab ( do you have pre installed bolt from the slab, just nail it!!! ... How does it withstand the entire weight!! ... 3:33 The i Beams, how do you make it, comparison with the plank vs plywood on these beams.... 19:00 how did you installed the last sheet!!! That ladder attachment was good details on that would also help ... 26:51 how/what did u do with this last piece + the plastic sheet ( i Guess you attached from inside but good to know from you). I know few of the views think these question are silly but as you know 99% of the viewer are not an experienced builder and the core purpose of this video is to share knowledge.... Happy holidays and Love from India ....

Ken, I am a big fan of you videos. I just watched this one the other day and I have a question. On the gable ends you put up the siding boards before you stood them up. Then later you started putting the siding from the bottom of the first floor. You said you did a calculation so the reveal would be the same once you got to the bottom of the gable ends. What in the world is that calculation? Just curious. Thanks

Years ago I used to be on a framing crew and was wondering : Do you find yourself using more nails with an air gun?

Ken your piano hinge nailing on the end walls is keeping me up at night. How does that work? Those nails have to come out because when the wall goes up they should get bend.... right??

@kenskarpentry

3 жыл бұрын

The nail comes through the bottom edge of the plate directly into the chalkline. That way it makes an excellent pivot point and when you tip the wall up the bottom plate sits flat on the floor

Nice Clean, well organized work. Exactly how I frame. Only difference is we have to use Pl glue and screws for our subfloor install by code. All regions are different in what they require. What are your thoughts on using screws instead of nails for subfloors?
