diyforknuckleheads.com G’day Knuckleheads and welcome to Episode 24 of my Owner Builder Series. In this video we look at the roof trusses going up along with the brick wall that borders my neighbours boundary. Putting up the roof trussesproved to be a little tricky on a number of levels. First of all the roof trusses were quite big and needed to be moved a long way to stand them up. Secondly they had to be blended into all four sides of the old roof which proved a touch difficult when l was doing it by myself. Overall the trusses and the brick wall turned out great!
Check it out and let me know what you think.

Awesome to see the progress coming along! Would be so much better if you had a larger lot for your house to sit on. I luckily found a home that is 2,300 sqf sitting on a 33,400 sqf lot where 3 houses were previously. My two car garage serves as my woodworking shop and parking for the wife. The original owner who removed the other houses to make room for this house left a single car garage on the property which I put to use as storage and my welding shop. Only draw back to the large lot is mowing! Being retired gives me plenty of time to play and do my chores. About 5:30 I become the chef as my wife is still working. Life is good! As a KZfaq junkie Your channel is listed in my top 5 for education and entertainment!

+Kim Shirley Thanks Kim! Mate l'm jealous of the size of your block!! Land is pretty pricey where we live being a very popular holiday destination on the beach. A block any bigger would be well out of our price range unfortunately. Beggers can't be choosers l suppose. Cheers mate :-)

I live in SW Oklahoma here in the US. Town has a population of a 7000+. Great small town living. We are about 8 1/2 hour drive from the Gulf of Mexico which is the nearest beach front property. My house and property was purchased at $125,000 to give you a cost comparison. A house on the gulf coast of Texas runs in the $300 to $500,000 range. Let me know when you have the house warming party! LOL!

@MRrwmac 8 жыл бұрын

Had it not been for the blending in the old roof to the new, you might have won, so don't feel bad. The race narration was cool. Will you be bricking only the one wall? The truss construction there doesn't leave you much room for open attic storage. Btw, like your little roof walkway.

@diyforknuckleheads 8 жыл бұрын

+MRrwmac Thanks MRrwmaac. There's only one brick wall. I'm cladding all the rest with weatherboards and colorbond steel. You're right the trusses do take up a lot of valuable space. It's a bit of a shame. We still might do something down the track. Just have to wait and see how the budget holds up. Cheers mate

@chrisversteegen1368 8 жыл бұрын

Good stuff Knackers! Those brickies are made of something else, I tell ya. Looks like the trusses still went up alright! Are those raked eaves I see out the window? They certainly add a bit of class. Plus you save time and timber without all those eaves trimmers! So you're going with a tin roof I see, but you used wood battens? Is that the norm over east? Here we use 70mm steel battens, 25mm tek screws into the rafters to fix. Also, blending that old roof looked tough! Is it because the old roof was stick framed? I can't really tell from the video, but I imagine it was if it was an old roof. Keep it up cobba, it's looking flash so far :D

@diyforknuckleheads 8 жыл бұрын

+Chris Versteegen G'day Chris. Thanks for watching mate. Yeah the old roof was a stick one and it was all over the shop!!. That was one of the reasons why blending in was so difficult. You just need one old rafter to be up or down and it throws your saddles out of alignment! It makes it even worse when you have multiple rafters being to high or to low. It is a tin roof and we use timber battens here being so close to the ocean as the metal battens will rust out. Have a good weekend mate. Cheers

Looking great mate. Brickies win it this time. Question - here in WA every house I have seen being built has the roof cut and made on site. Not once have I seen pre made trusses stacked out front. Do you know why WA are different to east coast builders? Can any of your views explain the reason why? I have to say, building a roof from scratch (on site) is an art in itself. Ps. Hair is looking shaggy and great. Go feral mate.

@MrAndrewmcgibbon 8 жыл бұрын

my guess would be cost. They use trusses so they can use 2x4 lumber. On the west coast, especially Washington & Oregon lumber is cheaper so it doesn't pay to use trusses. here in Detroit, a lot of the lumber is marked Canada. so there is a whole lot of transport cost added in. I suspect the same for Australia.

@chrisversteegen1368 8 жыл бұрын

+Marty Daley I asked my boss (roof chippy) the same thing the other day, and he reckons not many blokes over the Nullarbor know how to stick frame a roof. There's a lot of factories that pump out trusses over east and a trussed roof means greater flexibility when renovating, such as taking out any wall since none are load-bearing. Having said that, I think stick framing is stronger. Big LVLs, steels and toms can take a lot more weight. Also joists are nailed into hangars which means a stronger ceiling. With a truss roof you tend to crack the gyprock if you walk on the trusses I hear. Anyway, just my two bob. I'm a little biased since stick framing roofs is what I do haha.

@MartyDaley 8 жыл бұрын

Thanks for your reply Chris. Really appreciate you sharing that with me. Also for clarifying the technical name of stick framing a roof. I would imagine you must be quick on your degrees and measurement calculations to custom cut every length. Cheers.
