I like the cinder block perimeter. It doesn't get as messy from rain splash like painted siding. And, having the wood part of the structure up high, helps keep wood rot at a minimum. And, it enables use of less expensive standard length studs to achieve higher ceiling clearance. The construction labor is a little higher, but that's a one time expense.

Hi Ken just wanted to let you know I’ve been a builder for over 20 years I love your videos. Even after all these years I have learned a couple of tricks of the trade from you that I will use in my own building projects. Keep up the good work.

Hey Ken, Thanks for wearing safety harness, I will never forget working with my dad on roofs as a 12 year old and he always had me tied to chimney by rope. O

@kenskarpentry

3 жыл бұрын

Smart move putting that safety harness on Ken. I'm 72 now and will no longer climb on to a roof - in fact I just listed my ladders & scaffold gear for sale on Facebook tonight. Once we get past 50 - 55 YO our reaction times slow down and we're more prone to slipping and sliding than the young blokes are. What is worse is that we are also more prone to break a bone or strain a ligament and the recovery period is much longer for our older bodies. There is no way I could handle working outdoors in that climate. I spent most of my life in the tropics and although I moved to a colder state 6 years ago I still miss the heat.

Ken...will the owner finish off the CMU stem wall and if so, what material? Also, is there a footer under the perimeter of the slab or is the slab itself, supporting the stem wall?

Ken, do you pre-drill your metal roofing? A lot of people pre-drill the whole stack to keep the screw lines straight. Thanks

Love the channel! Can you tell me a little more about the concrete block install? Is the first course simply mortared down to the pad? Was vertical rebar drilled into the pad in some of the cores (before they were filled), to somehow tie them to the foundation? Just curious how that works structurally. Thanks!!

Hi Ken, a few subscribers have complimented you due to your age (45?) but to me you’re still a youngster! However I guess falling off a roof still hurts a lot.....nice job on the carport, I guess it’s a type of cantilever roof, but much nicer to back into without having to worry about hitting the posts!

Ken, It may have something to do with being 6'3" but I often wonder why more garages don't have higher doors. When you are starting from scratch, why not build in the extra capacity?
