I’m starting the largest and most expensive single project I have ever attempted. We are attempting to transform our backyard into the ultimate hangout spot. It all starts in this video with the main attraction: a roof built over the existing concrete patio.
The design I came up with is a little different from many others that I have seen in the fact it uses trusses and only partially connects to the house. I share my process of digging the foundation, setting posts, installing beams, hanging trusses, and the roofing process. I made great progress late in the summer but then it slowed when I went back to teaching. In part 2 I will do all of the finishing work including electrical, wrapping the posts & beams, tongue and groove, fascia, soffit, gutters, and downspouts. Then in future videos there will be many more projects that aim to totally transform our backyard.

It was a great job everything was perfect except for the 6x6s Post questionable talking to educated men telling you that it was okay to bury below concrete line 40 years is nothing in a building buildings last 100 plus years I I know I work on them all the time. 40 Years of short-sightedness on a main support post

@maxpol007 Жыл бұрын

@@samuelwotring633 Can't agree more then that, simply bury any wood below ground level should be avoided at all cost. Been say that, I might still use his way of setting with difference of give wood extra protection in ground with rubber wrap or some EZAC glued over below ground part. Why is that, cause setting post above required cross structural supports braces and in this implementation will be hard to achieve similar final look result.

Do not apologize! Starting a family is hard work. Your time is your most valuable asset right now. You’re working, raising a family, marriage, dealing with illnesses, making content, and life gets in the way. Investing your time to create a great space for your family to enjoy for years to come is a pleasure to watch, and I’m a fan. Keep doing the best you can each day and it’ll add up to a great home and great life. It’s nice to see a creative producer instead of entitled taker. God bless.

You’re a beast brother!!!!!! The only thing I didn’t agree with was back filling the 6X6 posts with dirt. I would of went with concrete (with a few long screws running through the posts before back filling with concrete for extra support). I’m a GC and have seen these posts rot within 8-10 years. Not only that, termites will destroy any wood, pressure treated or not. Other than that, your project looks great!!!!!🤙🏼😎

@davidmc62 Жыл бұрын

I have been building for 40 years, and I am impressed how you handled this project. You obviously did your homework before you got started. Very nice job.👍 Oh, If you ever tackle another shingle roof, the feet on the roofing nail gun are adjustable. You simply set the feet under the bottom edge of the lower shingle, and rest the shingle in hand down on the face of the safety/tip of the gun. That will give you the correct and consistent spacing. Depending on which shingles you use will determine the spacing. Metric shingles typically are 5 5/8" and ASE are 5". For some reason the west coast uses the metric shingles which are 1 meter or 39 3/4"x 13 1/4", where the east coast uses SAE shingles which are 1 yard or 36" x 12". Don't ask, because I have no idea why. Anyway That a great job you did! 👍

WOW what an inspiration. This is so cool! I would like to DIY a covered patio on my place as well. The difference is that the back of the house is 2-story, so the roof would need to extend off of the existing one. No idea how to do that yet but I'm learning more every day. I consider myself to be pretty handy and I try to do all of my own stuff when possible. Thanks again for such a thorough video, this is really great!
