I don’t know the background of the majority of your audience but as a contractor for 40 years I’m often asked about truss angle and how we figure it out. Thanks to technology measuring rise/run for slope ratios and Pitch then using a construction calculator saves brain cells for sure. No more homemade protractors and plumbers bobs. Could be a good tutorial for a short for your viewers?❤

To you, sir and madam, Congratulations on planning the assembly of the A Frame, now the way the foundation is assembled makes sense, I really liked the way you are carrying out the construction services and it helped me think in an unexpected way. I look forward to the continuation and completion of the construction of your home. May God bless you and continue the good work both in construction and filming.

Well done after cutting and fixing a hundred or so roofs, buttressed supports and mansards. I understand how difficult and energy sapping it can be. You’re doing good and you’re past the difficult stuff, keep safe and be careful to ensure the sway bracing does not come loose until you are corner to corner braced.

Hello! So glad as you must be that you have started on your home. My home is a 30 X 30, 4 bedroom, 1 1/2 bathroom home in a small village in upstate NY. It is big enough that my three children had their own room and we were quite comfortable. Life changes as the kid grow older and leave for the start of their own life. Now the rooms are a sewing/quilting room and an office. That's plenty of room for the grandkids and dogs. I am unsure if I like an A-Frame but your frame seems to have plenty of space and storage. I saw a Canadian A-Frame you-tube video that was just as large as yours. The couple who are building it have added 2 large dormers on each side of the main frame. One is the entrance which has a large closet on the second floor. The other, I believe holds the downstairs bathroom. The dormers make up for the loss of space in the walls. So many designs for A-Frame I am learning about. Sending my hopes for a successful build.
