Hi Ken, I built my 30x30 ranch style garage 34 years ago. But I did a 4ft foundation then poured the slab. Two 8 ft wide by 9 ft high garage doors. 5/12 pitch. One side 36 inch door one window. It has its own gas heating system, electric system, and water. $15, 000 dollars all in. Lol those days are gone. I’ve been watching your channel for quite sometime now, always quality work. Keep it up, and let’s hope these lumber prices start coming down.

As usual great video. I would suggest where you have all your vertical rebar you place the high viz safety caps on the ends. Lots of instances of workers tripping especially while installing rebar and falling on them. The safety caps can save a nasty accident and are reusable

It looks great . I'm always learning something from your videos , thank you.

Wow! learning so much from these videos. Thank you! Also curious that a slab is fine? no need for a foundation? Especially with how cold the north east is?

@kenskarpentry

Жыл бұрын

Floating slab done correctly is great

Planning on building a Shed/Garage that is 14'x42' - Have you ever done one as "skinny" as that? I want to orient the structure East & West, and we get 175" of snow per year, so uneven roof loading might be a problem. My concern, and possible solution would be to sheet the ceiling or use diagonal bracing to keep the walls from bowing. Any thoughts?

@kenskarpentry

3 жыл бұрын

Definitely at least diagonal bracing. Hope it goes well.

Just curios...what is the 8x8 bump out going to be used for...a bat room? LOL GREAT JOB another beautiful garage...good sized one for sure.

How do you attach the walls to the floor? I am used to seeing the threaded anchors embedded into the concrete.

@kenskarpentry

We use wedge anchors

Crazy question here. Could this same type structure be used for a home build? 10" ceiling on a 50' x 40' slab and then have windows, plumbing and electric added? maybe even add radiant heated floors? I am just curious from a construction standpoint if this would pass living occupancy permitting?

We built it last year. I did a series of videos on it last year. I just condensed it into one to show start to finish.

Sr, Kenn, just a quick question, is that what you spend on material or that’s what you charge including the material; excuse my ignoring but we are looking to build a small church, a 40x60 and will soon start looking on numbers. This will be in West Texas. Thanks, blessings.

@kenskarpentry

Wow that’s exciting. Generally materials are about half of the cost. We built our church in 2002. What a great time that was.

I really wish they would stop un-ringing my bell. Oh well I will just look this channel up the old skool way. :-)

How many days would you say you spent on this one altogether?
