Young man I don't know what you do for a living but if it isn't building houses you missed your calling. Absolutely awesome.

My grandmother built a huge house like this. Walls made from 2x6's, everything went up 2 inches in dimension so instead of 2x4 it was 2x6, instead of 2x6 it was 2x8's and so on. It was built in 1952. I was in that house in an F4 tornado and all it did was take down trees in the yard and pull a few shingles off the roof but the house stood strong. The house has a brick and natural rock facade 8 inches thick as well. The house is still there 70 years later.

Little late now, but for others looking to build their own place, buy yourself some scaffolding and get off the ladders.. just a few sections can be a game changer… and much safer

You’re probably right, I have been too cheap to invest a few grands in some scaffolding

Building a scaffold (wall blocks ,arms and legs would save a ton of time and the labor of ladder work when doing overhangs ,flatwork and gables. Takes little time and you load them with material needed and work comfortably and in position being able to walk instead of moving the ladder and going up and down 1000 times. Trust me, I know.
@TheDIYCabinGuy Жыл бұрын
I’m sure! I just wasn’t sure how to do it, renting the scaffolding wasn’t an option as I’m working sporadically on the cabin (8 hours a week at most) so the only other option was to buy it but man, that stuff isn’t cheap!

Curious as to the reason for spacing all of your plywood. I've never seen anyone do that before and never seen it mentioned in a plywood spec.
@TheDIYCabinGuy Жыл бұрын
It’s for expansion and contraction of materials
@brianb7388 Жыл бұрын
I was curious why you put the harness on midway through the roof build and there's an older gentleman on the roof with you and he's not tied off. Hard to understand why unless it was just personal preference but clearly a lot safer for both of you to have rigging.

You glue floors to avoid squeaky floors when walking on it. That would not be really needed for a roof.
