I'm 45..... there isn't a week that goes by that I don't mourn not having a father in my life. I didn't realize how much it affected me until later in life.... when I started to desire a family of my own. Guys who have a good dad in their life have no idea to how blessed they really are....

I hear you loud and clear. I lost my father 30 years ago. I'm 58 years old now. I miss him every day. Don't ever forget to tell your own children how much you love and support them. My dad did that for me and it paid dividends.

This is a good book. Does provide a step by step introduction to how to build things kzread.infoUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 , also does offer some steps. Includes pictures to give you ideas for layouts and such. If you are looking for a guide, this is not exactly what you want. But if you are trying to familiarize yourself with the way that pole barn building and other out buildings, are made, then this will work just as you need it to. A few things in this book are a barn (of course), detached garage, storage building, and coops.

Gratz on the garage! Enjoy your dad

Man the part I’m glad you acknowledged and stated for us to comprehend was thanks for trusting me. I have a wonderful stepfather that taught me a lot but he never trusted me. At 40 years old, I strive for him to see my achievements and recognize them. I am very heavy on the diy approach. Learned a lot myself. To this day, even trying to offer my step father driving directions that avoid major highways or congestion is received with a brush off. He knows better. I’m a father now, and I always stop when my kids come up and say can I try. Could be screwing something in, could be mowing or even using the blower. It all matters to them. They move on quickly so no matter how much of a hurry you think you are in, stop. Let them get involved. You never know, that memory you created might be the inspiration for them to be like you later on in life.

Good man!! I can really appreciate a human being like that. God bless.

Great project thanks for sharing and providing costs. I love the siding approach, it looks simple and clean. I think you should read some of the other comments below to snure your dad's safety and that roof stay on the garage! Adding some additional collar ties (we normally go in 1/3 of the way up from the top plate - but if your snow load is low you might just add them at every rafter (same height you already did), hurricane clips are definitely needed,. The gable end comment below can be handled simply when building- as you use the plywood to connect between the two - 4x8 sheets installed vertically. at this time you could fix this easily by installing plywood on the inside between the 8' wall and the gable end . No building inspections for this project? this is where the building inspections could have provided some value to you, to actually help you as you go! Also no electricity? maybe not given the distance from the house. But if I were budgeting, I would add the cost of electricity. thanks for the great video!

Great project. Very informative. I'm starting my own garage build in 2 weeks, and it was very helpful to watch your video.

You weren't kidding about turk hanging out. That's awesome. I'm hoping to build a detached garage at my house in a couple of years... never built a building but I've done some deck work, framing basement remodel, etc. Most ambitious project yet but I really enjoyed watching your build come together. I think I can handle it!

The turkey is a treasure - wow. This was a great build guys - congrats all around!

Wow! I figured you would go with roof trusses! Hats off to old school.

Father and son, what a beautiful thing.

I found when I ordered my materials the lumber counter suggested I just have my roof trusses made up and delivered assembled and honestly the price wasn't that much more and saved me a days worth of messing around.

@thomasthedoubter6813

The only drawback with trusses is that they eliminate so much overhead storage space.

I built, with help from my son and his friend, a 28 x 24 two story garage. Did the same, hired out roofing, siding and garage door. Drew up the plans on graph paper to scale.

Great job, great video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. And Turk does a great job as a supervisor!

Nice garage something i would like and need. As for my dad his 90 yrs old still watches me work on my projects. Thanks.

I enjoyed this video, thanks for sharing! I don't normally comment but wanted to offer a few observations. Your gable end walls (at least as shown in the last interior shots) have a hinge due to the collar-tied vaulted roof rafters with the studs stopping at the double top plate and nothing to brace it. The front is actually worse than the back, because the header is upset into one of the plates, you're relying on a single top plate to span horizontally to the perpendicular walls for wind loading perpendicular to the gables, which definitely doesn't work if you were to put a number to it. Typically for a vaulted ceiling you would either balloon frame the gables (studs all the way to the roof sheathing), or use studs at a 45 (kickers, basically) running diagonally from the double top plate to the roof sheathing to brace the hinged wall studs. Someone else mentioned hurricane ties, maybe they were added later on, but a strong wind will easily rip those rafters off if they're only toe-nailed in to the top plate. I also saw the other comment about the collar ties, while I agree they seem pretty high up, you'll find out pretty quickly after the first snow or hanging anything heavy from the roof rafters if you have a problem or not as the roof will start to sag and push the top of the walls out as the collar connection gets overloaded. Just offering up a few helpful tips, I'm a professional structural engineer on the West coast. Happy to help if you have any questions.

I build sheds exactly like this garage during the winter and everything you said is what I worry about even having no engineering background it seems obvious but there is nothing else included in the kit to reinforce the roof it really is just toenailed rafters holding the roof on and then the small overlap of the gable ends that is nailed together. They also ask us not to modify he sheds, kind of crazy.

@Justin Fenton Being a structural inspector in S. Florida for 35 years, I have to say you've brought up some great points across the board. The other option I considered was a hip roof that would take care of the front and rear hinge issues you mentioned with straps where required. Not mandatory, but venting wouldn't hurt either. Well done men!!

@ryanncushway8384 I think I got a quote from a contractor for 30000 that's why I tried to do it myself and I think my total cost was 9000 if I remember correctly. This is back in year 2000. basically demoed a 2 car garage and Just had to do some minor grading behind the garage, form it up and I had the contractor place the concrete. Cause I had a full-time job at the time.. I just remember I measured 2 sides of the garage and assumed the contractor for the original foundation and floor in a rectangle he didn't. It was 4 inches out of rectangle so when I place the walls right alongside the edge of the concrete. By the time I got up to the roof I realized I was 4 inches out of square. I took a little bit of work to finish the roof but I suppose, it was still the best way to do. It looks good around the bottom. You can't tell at the top. I did a good job sealing and insulating everywhere, so I know when it was 20° outside, the hot dog heater would only run for 5 minutes per hour and would maintain a 65° inside very efficient. 2 man doors 2 garage doors.. Then I expanded the driveway myself. I got the tow behind concrete trailer about six yards three trips. Fun times.

Awesome video! as a 30yr metal roofer, only thing I would add is to the deck roof with osb. Would be less than another 1000$. It gives metal roofs so much better wind up lift protection (dont remember the Miami-Dade result numbers) but its significant! Also, you will enjoy the insulation factor in the summer time.

I remember back in the late 79s, my dad and I built a shop like this on my uncle's property. The difference is I don't think we put the spacers in the concrete slab as you did and we installed "J" bolts for the walls while pouring the concrete. I saw the shop around 2010 after my grandmothers funeral where the family gathered for the will reading. It looked great and no problems. What it cost? I have no idea. It was something my dad and uncle worked out, I was just a teenager then. Otherwise we did mostly what you did here. Except, we had to muscle the walls up, no tractor to help and did all the work ourselves, including siding, roofing and electrical.
