Best part of the videos is when Ken runs the video at high speed, and he is nailing. Sounds like a machine gun!

Ken, I've been a subscriber for a while now, absolutely love the videos. But I do want to say that only an HONEST MAN would list the price of the project and provide the details that you almost always do; like the lumber pricing (ouch, we're getting gouged again!) reports and sometimes even a comparison on chip vs ply etc. Hats off to you Ken I look forward (yep I ring the bell and add a like) to your vids. Happy Holidays to you and yours!

Just found your channel yesterday,been binge watching ever since 😂,love your content. You work hard every day,it’s great to see the work ethic of you and your crew. Lumber prices here are out of control,For a while you couldn’t even get anything at least now the materials are available for the most part you are going to pay dearly for them though.I want to put up a 40 x 60 garage and was looking on KZread for ideas and I came across your channel ,now you have a new fan and subscriber LOL.I’m in upstate NY ,So I want to do it right with good insulation and quality doors etc.

I kind of wonder, is he just a wee bit like me and likes renting the heavy equipment every and again because they're so much fun to operate? LOL When I was a kid working for my father toward the end of a project he'd send me to the rental yard to pick up a bobcat or tractor and scraper, maybe even a backhoe! When it was delivered he conveniently never had time to operate it. YIPPEEEEKAIYAAAA! I loved it. I think that stayed in my blood Because I was always renting equipment, the bigger the better!

Hi Ken. Apologies if you've been asked this before but when you're nailing the roofing sheets are they marked to show you where the roof trusses are so that your not nailing into fresh air?

Ken, why not design the trusses to overhang the carport side. Would be the easier way to go? Thanks

Hi Ken,whats the deciding factor for using the lift for the trusses against hand balling into place?

Thanks. I have a roof similar to this. It's a pain to move around up there because of all the support / structure. I wish I had a 'gambrel' roof with lots of easily accessible space. Are these less strong, more expensive or something? Why would anyone use any other roof ?

It’s much less expensive than a gambrel

How are you able to cover the walls and roof instantly? I live in "local gover-tized liberal, USA, "Washington State". I can't drive a nail without an inspection! Seriously! I just did a building in a "ritzy" city, I had the inspector down to inspect my footing rebar, I was told I needed to get a setback inspection from "zoning department".before I could pour FT'gs?! Even tho the property was professionally surveyed from the city survey crew... and all the bld building corners/property lines/all elevations were approved at the Permit stage.? HUN? So huge situation with my companies office and the city is happening, then this "zoning" guy shows up with a 25' tape and wants me to run strings over the offset pins (the elevation differences were over 10'+/-) so my string is 15' high on low side and this office guy is trying to use his tape measure and check to the string to the FT'g bar/wall line? Needless to say, rest of job was a nightmare! That city had "local codes" and "code enforcement teams", the

Hi. How do you set the trusses so accurately spaced so the cladding boards fit exactly?

@kenskarpentry

3 жыл бұрын

We use metal truss spacers that automatically spaces them.

Why don’t you secure the rafters at the bottom prior to sheeting to prevent movement? Just curious.

@kenskarpentry

3 жыл бұрын

I like to secure and put at least one row of plywood to make sure that wall is perfect. Then we knock the other wall in or out as needed then nail it down. It works well for us.

What are the metal straps on top of the roof?
