BRO, I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU! I have an uneven lot and we are so used to slab on grade for homes, we forget about Pier and Beam! Your terrain is almost identical grade-wise, and I finally see a full project from start to finish that is DYI! Thank you man, I hope you have this place for many years to come and maybe some day your kids can see you building with your own hands!

the principle of the A frame is aesthetically cool and seems simpler to build but it requires a very high roof height to have enough habitable floor space useful when standing

I bet those who live in Mammoth Lakes in the Sierra Nevada are wishing they had an Aframe. Sheds snow like nothing else.

@poofygoof

Жыл бұрын

They are not efficient with materials either, and inherently dark unless you break the A-frame-ness with "skylights" or dormers to get windows in elsewhere than the two ends. Designs are heavily weighted to use mezzanines and open floor plans to get any natural light past the ends. The aesthetics are fun though, but I wonder how much of that is borrowed nostalgia from the A-frame boom of the late 50s and the contrast vs conventional straight-wall houses. For snow shedding, you can build a regular house with a 60 pitch roof, and even design your attic like an A-frame, but you get all that sweet conventional space below the roof. :)

Thanks for this lesson.

Also, I noticed that you have some joists flush with the beams and then you put the joists on top of the beams...why is that?

@darryldarks

For sure. So, the roof rafters are joined 2x10x16s. Two 2x10x16s make 1/2 of a full rafter. Then I cut them down ton size at 27ft and change long. The rafters are joined together in 3 spots. Ripped 8 ft pieces of 23/32 plywood connect the sides and a triangle piece connects both sides of the rafters at the top. Make sense? You may need to watch my “Raising the A’s” video. It will give a better visual. 🙏👍

Great question. So, the A Frame is in Comal County, TX. Which is super loose with building codes. In fact, all that the county cares about is your septic tank and driveway. They do not care how you build your house. Now, in the property deed, it did specify things like square footage requirements and some others. So, I just went off of those things to put a plan together in respect to the other houses in the neighborhood. But that’s really it. Yessirski!! 👍👍

Learn framing, concrete, roofing, plumbing, etc. If you can learn about the mysteries of the human body you can learn this. They have better pricing than Amazon. God bless you, bro! You got this! 🙏👍
