It was almost a throwaway comment but, "They have everything already set up by the time I get there..." says so much to those who can truly appreciate just how much of a big deal that is ! Not only that but it speaks volumes about the lads, their ethic and their involvement in the job as well. Respect to both of them and thanks to you and Greg for the continued entertainment and education as well = )

Love seeing your kid work with you. Everyday when I'm dropping him off at preschool, my 4 year old tells me he's "going to help build with daddy when I get big enough", and am dreaming of those days.

Great channel! From a 78 year old who is still building stuff, bucking hay, and generally moving well...lift with your legs! Trust me, you can replace your hips, knees, shoulders, etc. You cannot replace or even rebuild your back! I need to notify TSA when I fly since I set off the security machines with all the metal in my new artificial joints...they are terrific and keep me working!

I begged my dad to take me to work with him since I was in second grade! I wanted nothing more than to look like him and go to work with him! That should inspire dads to be their best!

Your friendship and jobsite humor make your videos next level. Great content, and seeing friends building stuff together is awesome! Thanks for sharing.

Me too.

Just love the partnership and efficiency of the two of you guys working together all these years! I work solo as a handyman, and partner up with another guy for bigger projects and things just get done so well. The best trade teams I see out there are two man teams, usually the owner and a helper. Just lean machines getting their tasks done. Keep up the great work, and I love the math tutorials you do - not boring at all! (Not to leave your son out of the equation - it's great to see him working with you guys!)

And I am amazed by your determination and skill in constructing the biggest building yet. Part 5, focusing on walls, headers, and corners, showcases your meticulous craftsmanship and dedication to quality. Your passion and hard work are truly inspiring. And I am Floating Village Life

Seeing the three of you together reminds me of the TV show 'Two and a half men'. But don't feel inadequate Kyle.

Watching you calculate post heights based upon truss pitch numbers brings back memories. When I first showed up on the job with a construction Master calculator in the mid-1980s, the old-timers on the job thought I was literally doing voodoo. It took me quite a while to win them over. Eventually I was able to prove to them that I could cut commons, hip rafters, (and lay them out on the sawhorses) and jack rafters without crawling around on the ceiling joists 20 feet in the air to get measurements. The associated reduction in roof framing hours won several foremen over eventually.

Kyle I am so pleased you made reference to the back and leg lift following my previous comment. I worked in heavy I dusty and was also a health and safety rep in ontario before returning to the UK. Now retired ba k in the UK I never miss your videos and would hate any of you to get injured. Safety is such a great topic in videos such as yours. Keep safe and make many ore of them my friend. You do good work and I for one appreciate it 😊😊😊

I learned your "trick" back in the 1970's, when I started banging nails. (no cell phone, no you tube, no nail gun) Back then, my foreman insisted a hatchet was a frame carpenter's tool, used to trim the ends of celing joists where they extended above the rafter at the heel?

"Wanna go golfing" . . . I just love Greg's timely comments . . .

It's a wise young man who takes the opportunity to learn from someone with experience willing to teach them.

That DeWalt drill is no joke!

Had to watch that 17:00 at .25 speed. That is old-school comedy gold. He didn't move the nail. But, he did walk up in the first place. Bet he won't do that again. But if he keeps working for you, you should give him a raise.

I’m very impressed with the scale of this job and your ability to organize and execute. Great job!

Thank you.

"1900's...was youtube around back then?" - hilarious! The dialog between you both is priceless!

Since I am not out there working with you guys, the next best thing is to be able to watch. Really enjoy you explaining what you do & why. Looking forward to future videos.

This building is impressive and the technique is just as impressive

Keep hydrated in the hot weather keep for a good brain! It's the weather being hots fault! Top fix! Awesome job!

After watching all your videos I'm still amazed at how fast these walls go up all total three days building the walls impressed

Great to have the extra help for this 😊 hope they stick around and get some great experience working construction.

Great job on the center wall. That’s a ton of work for just 1/2 a day! Just an fyi they are shackles not clevis and you can get them bigger than 3/4”. I get them from a company that makes wire cable slings for cranes.

It's so nice you're training our future carpenters!!

Loved that description of the rafters and dimensions at the beginning

Great video series love it!!. Big job but not afraid to attempt it, and have fun too, would be nice if Coles friend could get more involved. Great video Thanks Kyle.

I know it’s a lot of hard work, but I’m having so much fun watching you guys put this huge huge building together. Awesome. Keep it up please

Nice seeing the kids helping !

Can't wait for trusses.

Those Diablo demo blades are beasts for cutting stainless booker rod, but they go a lot better with straight cutting fluid.

Great work guys. You have done so much work in just a few days. America has so much wood for constructions I'm watching from Taiwan. We use metal frames to build a warehouse like this big. Well all frames here a metals. We don't have enoughl umber. We import mostly from Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam, But Thailand became smart, they don't want to sell us wood. They only want to sell furniture.

I think Cole needs to take on the role of perpetual Hard Ass, to keep you two jokers in line. 🤘😎

Love that you provide links to the tools you use !

Sure is nice to have 4 guys for this project!

Good morning happy Saturday 👍 🤟👌💪💪💪✌️

Hi Kyle and Greg. Love watching your videos even if im not a builder. So funny when you tease each other. Its also very informative. Keep up the good work on site and on KZread :D

You guys got it going on , would love to work with you both. 👍👍👍

The other thing too on your rigging, those clevis's and straps are rated at 5 ton or whatever WLL or working load limit. That means that's the max rate they're guaranteed safe at. The failure or breaking point of those is often 50-100% higher than that. So 5 ton WLL means it could take as much as 10 tons to actually break it.

Great Build. Thanks for telling your story.

YOU GUYS ROCK

Good work as usual guys. Thanks for the videos Kyle

That’s awesome work your smashing it out

You guys are a solid crew!

I'm not sure if someone already mentioned it.......put the pin of the clevis on the eye. Hypothetically, IF someone left too much slack, the sling pulling against the pin could back the pin out. Awesome work gents!

A little note about rigging those Shackles, Kyle. The Pin of the Shackle should sit in the eye of the Strop - not against the ‘running’ leg of the Strop. When it’s against the running leg, it can wind the Pin out of the Clevis.

@psidvicious

Ай бұрын

Technique explained is correct BUT rigging failure is extremely unlikely (to the point of impossible actually) because every pick is a new rigging. Shackle comes off and is re-rigged for the next pick. Repetitive picks on the same rigging setup, should be checked every few picks or wire the pin to the shackle body for added insurance.

You got one guy saying eye protection, and another saying ear protection. So I guess I will go with always hold your own nail😂

*Summary in English and German* * *0:07** - End Wall Prep:* * The process begins with calculating the length of lumber extensions needed for the end wall posts to reach the top of the future trusses. They use the Pythagorean theorem, factoring in the truss pitch, heel height, and post notch positions. * They stress the importance of accurate measurements and cutting the extensions slightly short to avoid interference with the purlins later on. * *11:44** - End Wall Assembly:* * They pre-build the end wall section on the ground before raising it, making assembly easier. * Corner columns require special treatment. They keep the center notch filled and install a support block at the truss height to provide a solid bearing point during truss installation. * *18:25** - Center Wall Prep:* * For the 300ft long center wall, precise layout is crucial. They use string lines and carefully measure each post position to maintain the 8ft on-center spacing. * They decide to build this wall in two sections, meeting at a large central doorway. This approach helps manage the lumber's potential expansion and contraction over the long span. * *22:30** - Dealing with Mistakes:* * A misplaced bracket, caused by adjusting a loose string line, necessitates cutting it off and reinstalling it correctly. They emphasize that mistakes happen and show how to address them. * *26:22** - Center Wall Assembly:* * The two sections of the center wall are nailed together horizontally on the ground, ensuring the top and bottom plates align perfectly. * They use temporary bracing to keep the wall sections straight and stable during the raising process. * *29:06** - Raising the Walls:* * Using a telehandler and straps, they carefully lift and position each wall section. They prioritize safety by keeping everyone clear of the lifting zone. * They demonstrate how to make small adjustments to the wall position during the raising process to ensure it slots into the brackets accurately. * *35:19** - Finishing Touches:* * Once upright, they secure the walls to the brackets with bolts. * They conclude the video expressing satisfaction with the day’s progress, having completed all the walls ahead of schedule. They are ready for truss installation after the upcoming holiday. * They highlight the battery life of their tools, showcasing the efficiency of using cordless tools for such a large project. *Zusammenfassung* * *0:07** - Vorbereitung der Stirnwand:* * Zu Beginn wird die Länge der Holzverlängerungen berechnet, die für die Pfosten der Stirnwand benötigt werden, um die Oberseite der zukünftigen Dachstühle zu erreichen. Unter Berücksichtigung der Dachneigung, der Höhe der Auskragung und der Position der Pfostenaussparungen wird der Satz des Pythagoras angewendet. * Es wird betont, wie wichtig genaue Messungen sind, und dass die Verlängerungen etwas kürzer geschnitten werden sollten, um später eine Behinderung durch die Pfetten zu vermeiden. * *11:44** - Montage der Stirnwand:* * Die Stirnwandpartie wird vor dem Aufrichten am Boden vormontiert, um die Montage zu vereinfachen. * Die Eckpfosten erfordern eine besondere Behandlung. Die mittlere Aussparung wird gefüllt und auf Höhe des Dachstuhls ein Stützblock angebracht, um einen soliden Auflagepunkt bei der Montage des Dachstuhls zu schaffen. * *18:25** - Vorbereitung der Mittelwand:* * Bei der 300 Fuß langen Mittelwand ist eine präzise Anordnung entscheidend. Mit Schnurlinien und sorgfältigen Messungen wird jede Pfostenposition festgelegt, um den Abstand von 8 Fuß von Mitte zu Mitte einzuhalten. * Es wird beschlossen, diese Wand in zwei Abschnitten zu bauen, die an einem großen, zentralen Durchgang zusammentreffen. Dieser Ansatz hilft, die potenzielle Ausdehnung und Kontraktion des Holzes über die große Spannweite zu bewältigen. * *22:30** - Umgang mit Fehlern:* * Ein falsch platzierter Winkel, der durch das Spannen einer losen Schnurlinie verursacht wurde, muss abgeschnitten und korrekt neu montiert werden. Es wird betont, dass Fehler passieren, und gezeigt, wie man sie behebt. * *26:22** - Montage der Mittelwand:* * Die beiden Abschnitte der Mittelwand werden horizontal am Boden zusammengenagelt, wobei darauf geachtet wird, dass die oberen und unteren Platten perfekt aufeinanderliegen. * Mittels provisorischer Verstrebungen werden die Wandabschnitte während des Anhebens gerade und stabil gehalten. * *29:06** - Aufrichten der Wände:* * Mit einem Teleskoplader und Gurten werden die einzelnen Wandabschnitte vorsichtig angehoben und positioniert. Die Sicherheit hat Priorität, indem darauf geachtet wird, dass sich alle Personen außerhalb des Hebebereichs befinden. * Es wird gezeigt, wie man die Wandposition während des Anhebens feinjustiert, damit sie genau in die Winkel einrastet. * *35:19** - Letzte Handgriffe:* * Nach dem Aufrichten werden die Wände mit Schrauben an den Winkeln befestigt. * Das Video endet mit der Zufriedenheit über den Fortschritt des Tages, da alle Wände früher als geplant fertiggestellt wurden. Man ist bereit für die Montage der Dachstühle nach dem bevorstehenden Feiertag. * Die Akkulaufzeit der verwendeten Werkzeuge wird hervorgehoben und die Effizienz von Akkuwerkzeugen für ein so großes Projekt unter Beweis gestellt. i used gemini 1.5 pro to summarize transcript

The largest negative with wood in storage buildings is fire. While steel isn’t immune to the effects of fire, it doesn’t add to the fire. As for costs, it really just depends on a lot of different factors. It’s not as simple as one is cheaper than the other. There are a bunch of things that go into the equations. If one was always cheaper, there wouldn’t be the option. As the old expression goes, “Your mileage may vary.”
