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.

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!!!!!🤙🏼😎

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! 👍

Easiest way to keep the roofing underlayment straight is to cut it in the middle and overlap. Not sure you needed the Ice and Water shield because the space under is not heated - BUT - I think for safety (slip resistance) it is worth it the extra effort - You did a very good job!

Incredible attention to detail! This is why I like doing my own projects. Without the pressure of production you can take the extra time to make everything perfect. In production I was told to build with a tolerance of 1/4 inch. I personally aim for 1/16. I’m pretty sure you are building to 1/64 or smaller lol. Amazing work and documentation.

@loragunning5394 Жыл бұрын

I've worked in the single family home industry for over 40 years and usual tolerances for rough framing is 1/8", which is also the width of a saw cut. Trusses are built to 1/16" accuracy tolerances. Anything smaller is for cabinetry and fine finish work.

Looks GREAT. This is something I’ve wanted to do as well to our back patio. But I cheated and ordered the Toja Grid system for 6x6 beams. The kit consists of 4 Trio Arm corner brackets and 4 Solo bases. I’ve found at my local lumber yard some 6x6x16’ beams that were returns and got them at a great price. Took a few weekends of cutting and staining them. It turned out pretty well. Wife’s happy. Love your project. Look forward to your next video.
