Excellent and instructive videos. I have been watching tiny house videos for the past several months with the hope of building my retirement house at some point. Ana, when I saw you, Seeing the tiny house build has inspired me to begin not only learning, and I have learned a lot, to building my tiny home. Thanks to the two of you for this excellent service, providing plans and expert advice it's not only the best I've seen but obviously the most cost effective since you are providing so much at no cost. You are doing excellent work and, believe me, there are those out there like me that are very appreciative. I was looking for video five and finally realized you have not gotten there yet, looking forward to it, thanks again.

Great video. I have a structural question. Would you not need a horizontal tie beam at some point in the middle of the house to stop the roof from spreading the walls and consequently sinking down? How do you prevent that? Not much weight with just the roof but snow loads can be pretty high

Awesome! Got excited when I saw the video was up. I want to see how the interior is going to look like in the real world.

How do you sheath the very top of the roof, like the top of the ridge pole so there isn't a diagonal Apex between the two top sheets?

First time I ever saw anyone start at the top with sheathing.

@jacobwhite9909

8 жыл бұрын

It's funny you said this. As a carpenter I've always started on bottom and work towards the peak standard practice. With it being a tiny house It was easier to sheet this from top cause I could stand on wall. Then add the last sheet with a ladder.

It's looking great guys! For someone that doesn't build houses, it's nice to sort of see all the pieces start to come together. Question for you. Would it have been a big deal to make the floor deck (and the whole build) wider than the trailer overhanging the edges maybe twelve inches or so? That would have given you considerably more space inside. Thanks again!

+Jeff Booton Hi Jeff, this is a great question. We've seen this done quite a bit, but personally decided not to do this because all of the walls would then not be over the trailer. I don't like the idea of the entire wall/roof system sitting on a cantilevered 2x4 deck. You could go with bigger floor framing materials (floor joists) but this would add to the height, decreasing the headroom (already tight with a loft). So maybe in a design without a loft, where you could beef up the floor structure, this would work. Or maybe we just are too worried about this structural strength.

Did you run into height reductions during your planning or building?

Hey this is really odd question if anyone can answer. I have an RV 30' with water damage roof. I'm doing a complete gut and was going to lay all new rubber but I'm thinking I want to build a loft so I would need to build a taller roof. Is it possible for me to gut the entire roof off my camper and just frame in a new roof with a pitch that hangs over original RV siding? Not sure if frame from RV will work or not or if I would have to do something to make this possible. Any help is greatly appreciated.

what's the height and width of your mini house, im looking at building my own on a fifth wheel platform behind my truck, its only going to be 2.1m wide and 3.2m tall, Im worried it will be a sail if a windy day comes along or on the freeway with it. have you had any dramas with wind?

So what would you do if you wanted a shed style roof with minimal pitch to maximize ceiling height and simplicity?

@cindylong624

5 ай бұрын

Hey there's was using 2x6 a must for your roof? Or could I get away with 2x4? Was it a decision based on structural integrity or ability to insulate more?

Did you have any problem with the roof sagging in the middle without collar ties?

Hi thanks for this video both. I'm building a tiny home in my garden so just looking through other people's examples . Could you tell me why you've gone for 4 studs nailed together in some cases in areas of the stud walls here? Thanks :)

Check out this plan, generally around doors and window for headers, also extra support for interior loft. www.ana-white.com/sites/default/files/Tiny%20House%20Plans%20Quartz%20Model%20by%20Ana%20White%20-%20med%20res.pdf

You need collar ties across those rafters, at least the 7 12 ones or your walls will bow out under a load. I have been a builder 30 years.

I love you guys. Did you think about T1-11 for siding to save on weight or was it just too cheesy.

Hi Jacob and Ana, I have a question for you guys. I know that video is a little old now, so I am sorry for posting on here. SO I am designing my Tiny Home at the moment and have ran into a little issue. I am trying to avoid going over the width limit on my home so that I do not have to worry about getting a special permit to transport it. The issue I have ran into is what do I do about soffit vents? My Fascia only extends a mere 1/4" from the OSB. This is leaving me no room to at vents. Any suggestions on how to vent my roof?

Talking about sheathing, did you guys do any Braced Wall Calculations? I work for an architect and the codes officials have really been inforcing these. I know a tiny house doesnt exactly follow the same code rules (most places don't have tiny house codes) but I would figure wind racking would be the same on a tiny house.

simple notch in T brace, same applied to R7/5 foam applied to the exterior of a 2x6 or 2x4 exterior walls. this being the whole structure itself those homes. compared to those homes, built tonnes myself, I would feel safer with the very little amount of raking that would occur in this home.

@AnaWhiteDIY

8 жыл бұрын

+Noah Knopf Hi Noah, great to hear from you this week. Thank you for watching! Screws tend to be stronger, especially in a joint that is moving, so we are using screws on some of the framing. However screws take longer and are more expensive than nails, so there is a tradeoff. When it comes to the sheathing, It's just much quicker to nail and even on a tiny house on wheels, screws would be overkill. Worth noting we are using ring shank nails and glue when we are nailing. Hope all this makes sense! Have a great weekend!

Nice choice with wood. the thermal break wood be horrible. works alright for a southern climate, but the northern climate is def a bad choice for steel. unless u want to shrink the inside dementions even more and wrap at least a 7/5 foam over it combating rhe thermal break on the steel studs.

Hard to tell but did you use a kreg HD setup/screws for the rafters connecting to the top plate? I would be concerned with all that load being placed on pocket hole screws or any screws for that matter, although there are some special screws for screwing rafters to top plates. Screws tend to break compared to nails, I would of at least used some hurricane clips to add more tie in strength to the side walls so the roof don't pancake with the snow loads that Alaska gets. I've never seen screws used for rafters in 20 years of construction. Nice build looks like a lot of fun.

You all are explaining things but in your own “Carpenter” language so for someone who doesn’t know some of the terminology, it’s frustrating. I can’t understand how the rafters are both attached in the same place on opposite sides of the beam.

@GarrettDoesStuff

4 жыл бұрын

You many have already figured this out. Basically you hold the rafter in place and use a nail gun to "toe-nail" the beam into place. That means you shoot the nail at an angle from the rafter into the ridge beam. Shoot one or two nails per side. However, that's just a temporary support. You'll want to go back and use simpson strong tie rafter hanger (google it). That is a metal plate with nail holes designed to attach rafters to a beam or wall. Hope this helps a bit!

I'm a female, trying to build my tiny house along with my husband and trying to understand your carpenter language so I can follow along but I have no idea what you are talking about. I am totally relying on watching the video as opposed to listening to your explanations.

Just buy a camper, lots cheaper!

Would this same roofing system work on a wider deck frame? one that's 11ft 8in wide?

My husband used these plans from Stodoys plans and he is very pleased.
