For me, the ideas in kzfaq.infoUgkxy_pn55PK60wAV3X_C_RoLS_67mNonoCE Plans were a starting point for building different sheds . Ryan gives ideas that allow an individual to draw nicest conclusions into the design and building of his or her own shed.

Straighten your walls. Straighten, brace and plumb your ridge. Cut your rafters dead on. Install alternate rafters. Put in lookout blocking. Hammer drill subfacia, shim to plumb. Gets easy after the first hundred houses. Good four man crew can frame a simple gable roof in 3 days. The best framed roofs take 10 guys (and gals) a week or more... residential. I have worked framing commercial roofs for months. Sweet gig if you can get it. Put your flying gable on before you raise the wall. Trim it out too. If you are good, you can tyvek and side it before you raise it. Wood framing is an art, best performed by the young. It takes years to understand. It is good, those who become interested.

Now show how to do it alone!

One of my favorite videos for what I am looking to do.

You guys are amazing. I went to your channel and there are tons of videos. (I subscribed, and made it a favorite). The internet and KZfaq are truly gifts to society. So many things to learn, so little time! Thanks for your contributions and helping all of us to be more....well....constructive!

Finally someone who takes the time to do that right! Kudos to you 👍

Thank you, helped me see my own project in a new way. Much appreciated.

The little ski jump you reference at the 7.00 mark is quite a desirable effect on steep roof pitches as it slows rainwater down when falling into the gutter which stops rainwater over shooting the gutter especially when raining hard. Most steep pitched Victorian houses built here in the UK were built purposely this way and aesthetically looks nice as swept eve feature.

Um, thank you, um, for this very, um, informative, um video.

Good demonstration. Thanks.

Thanks for the detail on the soffit install, been struggling with this cad detail for my new garage. Much appreciated!

Finally, someone who answers my question, and then some. I love the quality of work. How did you cut the Facia on an angle with precision? The only thing I can think of is using a track saw or using a circular saw with a homemade 2x4 track nailed/screwed down.

Your video is AWESOME . . . VERY CLEAR, IN SYNC INSTRUCTIONS WITH ACTIONS, and THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF INFORMATION . . . THANK YOU BUNCHES! BEAUTIFUL CONSTRUCTION!

Framer here : make your walls nice and straight. I use an extendable level and go from plate to plate. I don't sight it fir the most part I just level it.. if your walls are crappy your rafters will look crappy and not fit right on the ridge

If for some reason you end up having a wall that is not perfectly level, you can use a string line from end to end with 8d nails to adjust your sub fascia to be straight.

I'm currently replacing the fascia and soffits on a house that I own and marveling at the crappy construction that the original builder and his legal-immigration-challenged day-layborers put into the house. The rain gutters ruined the fascia and most of the soffits. The soffits were made out of Masonite (i.e. cardboard), so they don't handle getting wet that well. Much of the last foot of the roof sheathing was exposed to water because of the roof having what you called a "ski slope" at the edge, thus providing a place for water to pool since the roof is only cut on a 30 degree slope (at least that was about the angle that seemed to match for the end trim pieces that I needed to cut). I remember helping replace the roof on the house at our family's ranch probably 45+ years ago... The roof decking solid board lumber (shiplap, perhaps). It was probably 70 years old at that time and still in good shape. Because of it being solid board lumber, if a piece that was near the edge had rotted, it would have been possible to remove it and install a new board without having to cut out the plywood like would be necessary these days.

Thank you! I've been looking for a video on sub facia, and this is just what we needed!

If your rafter tails extend more than 14 to 16 ft the chalk line will sag down the rafters. Hang a dry line under the rafters and mark each tail. Perfectly straight allowing for wind. I prefer a Squangle for this rather than a speed square.

I um really enjoyed um this video! You um really explained um the um details of how to um cut the rafter tails so they um all were in a um perfectly straight line.

This series is awesome! Many thanks

When I hit a single nail that many times, I was yelled at. HIT THE FUCKIN THING, DON’T TAP IT. That’s how I learned.

In my humble opinion, if you made sure your walls were straight and parallel you would not have to run rafters long. Never cut anything in the air that you can cut on the ground. Also, putting the roof sheating on first makes putting on the sub facia easier. Just an observation.

Yeah this a good video!!

Your "fly" rafter ("barge" rafter) should be hung on lookouts, not just blocked. Otherwise it's just hanging there on nails at each end and whatever you nail on through the roof sheathing. Nice series of videos... very instructional.

It took me forever to find a video that uses the exact same circular saw that I have. Thanks!

thank you for the detailed info

This is really an excellent video series, thanks!

Good explanation

Thanks and Recommended shed planning in 2019

As much as I wanted to watch this video”UM” I couldn’t take the “UM’s”!

Hey Great vids guys. My first question here though - hoping for an answer. I have one of those pre-fab sheds, you know - the ones that are built like crap? Yeah , those. Anyway I want to insulate the shed and put a small heater in for the winter. The rear and gables have no sofits but the front eave does. However the front eave sofit has a solid plywood panel in it so that there is now air flow up through the sofit into the rafter spaces. Why did they do that and can I just remove the board and also replace the solid sofit vinyl with vented vinyl? Is having only front sofits good enough or will I be sorry on the back roof later with mold/excess moisture? Sorry for the long question, I just wanted to make sure you understood. Thanks and keep up the great videos!

The one side of your gable overhang you end nail but what about the other side. Do you have to toenail that in? Also why do you not need any collar ties for your rafters?

Excellent content thank you .

Helpful info. Thanks.

Can you guys do a teaching on cathedral roof framing

good video. Many tips. Guys, where are your work gloves? safety first!

Umm, umm, umm. Umm? Umm! Umm...

At least he took the time to put that bevel cut on there…that’s time wasted with the half inch step where it wasn’t lined up with the top of the truss

Great detailed video!

Do you have too much meat of the rafter gone at the bird's mouth? It looks like you have a 3-1/2" seat cut on a 2x6 rafter. The IRC's D/4 code for rafters states that you can only notch 1/4 of the depth of the rafter. Your maximum seat cut should be no more than 1-3/8".

I like to cut my rafters on a while they're laying on a sawhorse instead of walking around on a walk board and taking the risk of getting hurt and getting saw dust in the eyes good planning and you can do all of this before before you even get started

Wish you would’ve shown ripping the beveled edge on facia. Skillsaw or table saw?

7:16 could you cut at 8 inches plumb line, then cut from the bottom up 6 inch plumb line/notch to keep the slope of the rafter and still mount the fascia board leaving a full 8 inch fascia ?

As simple as this is some idiots will manage to eff it up or knowingly dot wrong.

Question: When you installed the lookouts on the eve... You mentioned that you cut them at 10", which makes sense given a 12" overhang (12 - 1-1/2 for the fascia - 1/2 for the sheathing)... but you left that gap around the sheathing along the gable rafter... Did you cut the lookouts 10-1/2" and then notch out 1/2" for the sheathing where they covered it, or am I missing something visually here? I ask this because I'm doing a small duck house and I'm trying to decide how to lay out the rafters / eaves and the sheathing. On one hand, doing the sheathing first and then adding fly rafters on the outside, lined up with the edges along the roof profile seems easiest; on the other hand, doing the fly rafters / lookouts first, then sheathing seems like it would make the eaves a little stronger, but then I'll have to add an additional nailing surface for the top edge of my sheathing. Thoughts?

@15:10 where do I get one of those speed hammers LOL.

Well done job, I live in Brazil, and I would like to make a roof like this in my house, and I would like to know, what is the minimum distance that should leave between the ceiling and the OSB, thanks in advance

Cutting rafter tail off a ladder can be fatal, once you blow the framing so bad that your tails are goofed up, you need to keep trying or maybe try being a baker? Or go back to Pizza Pros I’ve seen guys almost bleed out when they sink a blade into their thigh(65 stiches )

Does the grain of the facia board cup toward the house or away from the house? Or does it matter.

Would it be possible to put this shed together without the floor? I am looking for an attractive shed for retrofitting over my pool equipment...

Do you have to cut the ends of the rafters?

Did you allow for the 1/2" sheathing in determining your 'fly' (rake overhang)?? With 10" fly blocking, it will only finish at 11 1/2". Further, why simple blocking instead of lookouts??

Say ummm one more time

Will youPlease tell me why you have your raptor scale hanging over the 2 x 6 at one minute and 49 seconds. Should you not have it lower? Or perhaps not hanging over the top of the 2 x 6? What changes when you do it your way and not my suggested ways?

awesome build, but please invest in a nailer. You're making me anxious lol

Um

Great video. Im going to use a nail gun tho. Call me lazy !

How do you measure the angle of your bevel for the sub fascia board?

do you have a video on removing aluminum trim on gable ends and use pvc for the rake while improving the beauty of the appearance?

It would be much easier to perform these tasks if the scaffolding was lowered about 2 ft. And watch that thumb on your left hand. You were making me nervous as you were swinging the hammer. I bet that wasn't too fun putting the bevel cut on the 2x8.

At 16:19 cant you just take a foot and subtract fly rafter thickness and wall shearing?

What size were ur rafters? Ru gonna do blocking between rafters or no? I was told u need blocking between rafters I'm using 2x6s 16oc spanning 7-8'

Does anyone know what pitch roof this is?

How did you cut the bevel of the fascia?

Wow.

What’s a ruff

Sped up it sounds like laser guns.

When is the best time to eat almonds?

You guys don’t miter the corner? Must be piece working.

Umm who holds a hammer half way like that😂. Umm thank you. Umm keep safe

a nifty walk board for the ladders. Was that made with plywood and 2x4's. It certainly looks like it is.

Uuuuuuummm!

why no airguns?

We're those 3" nails?

Why do you cut the bottom nub off?

great info but man use a nailer to speed this up. or swing that hammer man lol

how many times did he say umm...

your Facia Board is it a 2x6 ???

Pneumatic framing nailer.

I did it with Woodglut.

Man....do not have a air pistola 😲😲😲😲😲

Birds mouth supposed to be no more than 1/3 the rafter. Y’all weakened the hell out that roof

construccion

Couldn’t get past the 2 min. All the um um umm

Errrr urrrrrrmmmm ummm Urmmmm ahh ummmmm

I did the same with Stodoys :)

Umm..

Don't bother cutting the tails. it's straight enough. It's always straight enough.

Ridge board***********

Wow how many times do you need to say ....Um 🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣

Um. And um. And then um. More um.

Um um um

Ummm....um....uuumm...ah....ummm

ah,,,ah....ah....ah every other word is AH

Um um um um um um good grief

Um, um, um, um, um,um,um um,um. Um

I’ve never umm heard anyone umm say umm so much in a umm video umm in a short period of umm time umm it’s good info ummm but hard to umm watch

Does he listen to himself? Uhh umm uhhh uhhh uhhh uuhhhh uhh uhhh. Uuuuhhhhhh! Uhhh uhhh

your birds mouths are cut too deep

Don't say ahummm
