When I looked at the thumbnail, I thought it was an old little farmhouse with a carport for some reason. I say that because that's how good of a job your crew does; very great work that you'll mistaken it for something else!

I like it. good job my friend.

Hi Ken. I have watched a dozen or so of your videos. So far this one is my favorite, my only change would be the footprint. 10' longer with a 4' wider carport, the rest is perfect. Come to California and build it for me. I love your work and the way you explain what your doing.

kickit59 I completely agree with ya but you know it wouldn’t be a hard task at all for ken to go over one day and cut in and hang a 36” exterior door to the “carport” should the owners figure that out also. It wouldn’t even take ken a full day to make that upgrade should they feel the need but I agree it should have been there from the start. Nice job Ken!!!!

Ken, that's beautiful. I was wondering if you can do a video on details of metal roof installation. For example do you use roofing felt or ice and water shield and do you do metal ridge vent? I assume you would still use regular drip edge.

One thing I've always wondered about construction (I've got no sense of how you do it) is how do you affix the walls to the slab. I saw on a previous video, you stood the prebuilt wall frame up, and nailed a couple of anhcor boards in an x fashion to get it level. You came back later, drilled thru the base of prebuilt wall frame into the slab and put down an anchor. Makes sense. This time, at about 3 minutes in, you had bolts sticking out of the slab already, evidently you pre-drilled holes into the prebuilt wall frames to line up with the bolts in the slab. What's the difference between these methods, in terms of why do one method or why do the other? Thanks for the videos, I find this so entertaining, I have no construction or wood working experience, but I do find this entertaining to watch.

Hello again, Ken! Ken here, I love your pre fab operation, way to go! I'm curious, when you pulled the wall from the trailer the bolt holes were already drilled. How is that done, lay them all out? Or is there another trick?

We usually drill them while they’re on the trailer. One person calls out the measurements and another transfers it onto the wall section

How were the carport rafters attached to the main roof? I see you had the deck down first on that section. One shot they were absent, then at 6:45 they were all up and covered. Other versions have had them nailed to the side of the main rafters. These look like they're resting on top?
