U ain't getting any simp

SHE'S A TEXAS WOMAN... VERY SELF RELIABLE!!!!

Bein articles bravo

Calling me

Your husband is a luck man

My job

Anthony Butera agreed

agreed

Wolf right i can actually sit through her videos enjoy them and appreciate her work

Cheers for the Video! Apologies for chiming in, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you tried - Mahorrla Wooden Paradise Method (should be on google have a look)? It is a smashing one of a kind product for building better sheds and woodworking minus the headache. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my mate finally got cool results with it.

Yes you are right about the terminology and the way the plates are cast. But have you ever tried to remove a structure without damaging it? The allthread breaks free and you have to cut it. The eye bolts will never spin in the concrete but they cost a ton more. Pretty inventive the way she went about it.

: ) Of course I remember. Nice speaking to you at the show.

They are so far and few between anymore

Richard Flanigan Yes I think for structural welding stick welding is better...

those small concrete footings are not strong enough for such a massive building and welding to the base plate is not necessary, using the right size bolts would be strong enough, with those bolts having the proper length in the concrete . . also the welds holding the top truss is not sufficient in my view needs additional structure.

what size of a rod and how many amps would you use for welding this thing?

In the interest of a shorter video, I’m sure we are not seeing the entire process.... like a cooking show, peel the potatoes...suddenly in the next shot, their mashing them up

@@knuckle47 She mig welded everything with a machine not set up properly. Out of position with lacking voltage; big no-no. But it looks nice, so whatever. Hopefully her parents don't live there anymore when it fails.

Hello please l like to with you please my contact +971522483457

I like to work with you please

Aw thanks! That's fantastic! I'm proud of you for trying new things. Remember to learn from any mistakes made and build upon your experience then apply that knowledge to future projects. You can do anything you set your mind to. Thanks for watching.

A whole lot of steel weight and 20 inch deep footers with eye bolts is not going anywhere. This doesn't have enclosed sides like a building it is a carport, so the wind shear is not as great. Even if it did have sides the metal siding will peel and the underlying structure will stand. I got more than 30 hurricanes and for 15 years of my life typhoons, so I have seen a few things blow in my 40 years of construction.

Tim, yes the plastic roofing material will likely tear off during a major wind event before damaging the steel frame. There are many DYI structures that perform for long periods of time because they do not get loaded. This structure may also perform as intended for many years. However, this structures seems to have several deficiencies that could have been easily corrected with some structural analysis and planning before April started her project. I usually do not comment on videos but I had some life safety concerns and was just trying to provide some constructive advise.

Couldn't agree more. While I appreciate and enjoy watching these videos, I'm concerned by how many people will follow in these steps and not consult an engineer or attempt to get permits and inspections. There are reasons these steps have been implemented and required in the buidling industry. I'm all for DIY but follow the rules and make sure you are in compliance with state and local laws/building codes. I only bring it up because April does have such a following. Are these steps inconvenient, absolutley, but they are required for a reason. What happens if a storm comes, rips the car port to shreds, and pitches the steel into a neighbors house, or your parents house. Or worse case, someone dies. There's now video evidence of how the building was built and if it doesn't meet code, you are on the hook for all of it, and any additional costs. Hopefully none of that happens.

I totally agree with everything you say. I am a retired Ironworker. This is dangerous. Consult with an Engineer, please!!! Can't watch this anymore. @@speedjunky1321

Thank you so much!

20 inches down into rock though

Peter Collin we have to go below the frost line to avoid the expansion/rise of surface due to frost.

Peter Collin exactly. To avoid frost heaving. That will tend to lift the footing out of the ground if not deep enough.

I don't understand why she digged 20inches and still only poured concrete in the ground....I thought the beams would be more secured if they were placed in the ground along with the concrete. From what I see it's just four I hooks with the plate at the top of the concrete . What do you'll think ?

I think all her work ends up looking good. With that being said wind load on a carport can be significant, I'd be worried about that with how this is attached. April please know I am not taking anything away from what you did, just mainly trying to help. Here we have to go 30" down minimum for a footing, and car port attachment usually has some pretty good anchor points. Your willingness to do all this stuff and figure it out is very awesome. Keep it up.

I would agree with you on this one. Likely see an episode where this thing flys away.

Just pour a 4" concrete floor around post and everything.

Frank W I have just finished building my self something like this myself my footings went down a full meter to take in wind sheer the only thing I left off was the cross strapping. After building it I got a letter from our local council asking where my building permit was for it 🙀 I was given incorrect information from the builder who built both mine and Dads workshop when I asked him about building a carport in front he said it would be fine I did not need council approval. 🤔 once I told the guy from the council he was great he gave me a structural engineer who could come out and look at my car port (more like a big rig port) when he came out to have a look at the DIY project what he thought and what he saw was two different things...😹😹😹 he loved the work I had done 😹 but a asked that I put in cross bracing as this will stop it from twisting and collapsing if there was that type of storm in the area which happen about once or twice every 50 plus years 😁😁 but he was really impressed and was happy to write up a certificate for my car port. I am so pleased was worried I was going to have to pull it down and it's been the 2nd best thing I have build the first was Dads workshop they guy we hired did not like putting jigsaw puzzles together 😹😹😹 I have been out in the workshop every day working since we build the port as it keeps the hot desert sun off me during the day plus when it does rain I can still go out there and work on my projects 😹😹😹😹 special now the council has passed it and approved it I am pleased and punch 😹😹 Put your right the footings April has dug are just not deep enough. I just hope they don't have storms in the area that can take down the structure... I have enjoyed watching April grow with her experiences and will keep watching her because I know she will be awesome working her projects.

Btw, love your channel, look forward to every video, keep up the good work!

your absolutely right Gabriel Storm, using the ariel lift for picking loads not only is an osha violation but extremely dangerous in so many ways. Been a journey man carpenter for 15+ yrs, and use 60' and 80' boom lifts on bridge and Hwy jobs and calls for termination if used improperly. Personal opinion it's about being safe and enjoy life lol. Also love this channel :)

Gabriel Strom You are correct but if her cross pieces do not weigh more than the lift can handle or a 250 lbs person she should be OK AS LONG AS IT'S NOT WINDY.

CRAZY HORSEPOWER.....I spend 14 Hours a day in a bucket as a lineman. When I was younger and dumber I used to rip ply sheathing off of roofs with a chain mainly because it was so much faster. Is it legal??? Well no not necessarily but it is dancing on the line. I don’t watch Ms.April to get caught up on my OSHA regs, I watch because she has to be one of those most bass a** carpenter-builder-metal workers I’v seen on KZfaq. Rock on girl!! Note: to bring it back to the original comment, April keep doing your legal disclaimers and shut these fools up.

She is using flux core wire.

Paul Copeland how do you know?

Looks like GMAW to me. FCAW or dual shield would have much more smoke.

I have a question for you what kind of power source could she use to power these units . A newbie

They didn't have one available the day I needed it. :) I was on a short timeframe to get this done so I made due. It was my intention to use it for lifting the purlins in place as well but it turned out to be waaay easier to just lift them up by hand so we returned the machine. Lesson learned.

What degree

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iJNpY7eF2b7OlGw.html

Scootro Dellabutro And built on an inadequate footing. No way this would pass inspection.

lmao

Mike Wiebe Thank you Mike love seeing people with common sense pipe in. I fully agree with you.

I completely agree

Garland Suseberry good job? Everything's kept by 16 bolts. Nice job, nicest ever...

Andy Douglass Hahahaha!!! Nice!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Nick Staves steel beams (usually reinforced by manufactured lumber) are used to support upper floors/roofs when there aren't enough load bearing walls in a room/on a floor. The problem with the structure is that there is minimal horizontal support. There should be a beam between the two tips of the gable ends. Welding alone also isn't a good idea. There should be brackets holding everything together. There's only TWO welds holding either side of that structure. Those two side, top beams without a roof structure are an accident waiting to happen

She said 1/4'' wall tubes.

muzman777 depends where she is if she's in Texas they don't freeze if she's in Ohio does freeze it's 36 in to 42 in deep so why negative grow up

What ? It’s been 6 years 😂
