Do you build in Texas?

Bro he knows what he is talking about...that how sounds a people who know his job

хахахахахаха про Афганистан очень смешно.

Something you learn in engineering design is that stiffness does NOT ALWAYS equal strength. While it may be able to stop a round, drag from high winds could cause it to crack instead of flex in the wind.

Right 😄

LoL

i would go to maine but i die in cold

@@AbyssEyes02 wear warm clothes and a heavy coat :)

Yes that’s what happened to me, signed up after that first video 🤣😂

Same!

Exactly what I thought. But in fact Pat just knocked down every question one by one in his own quiet, articulate way.

Thank you for watching and for the kind words!

Can sips be green? I mean with all the glue and plastic in them I am leaning toward hay bale or adobe or shiplap..

@@smolboyi build however you see fit. The proof is in the envelope. There are lots of ways to build green homes, and one of the methods involve SIPS. If you don’t like the idea of poly styrene, and OSB because of their carbon footprint, I’d also look into other ways to offset your overall carbon footprint. Certainly the largest carbon footprint in any home is concrete. Odds are that the carbon footprint of most modern slab on grade foundations is equal to or greater than the entirety of the shell of the structure. There are ways around using concrete in foundations, but even earth ships use heaps of concrete.

@Tac0caT0 oh... well you're absolutely right, I really just don't want the osb because I believe it off-gasses. Of course making the building low impact on the environment is a goal too, but I just want to avoid plastics, and still have a nicely sealed building.

@@smolboyi OSB off gasses VOC’s gradually, that’s true. Though any concrete sealer/finish, interior latex paint, subfloor adhesive, silicone sealants, polyurethane window caulking vastly outweigh the amount of off gassing OSB will have released while it’s either hanging out in a bunk, or in the walls of your home. Not to say OSB doesn’t off gas, but if you want to minimize VOC off gassing I’m your home, there are plenty of other products to avoid. Vinyl windows off gas, as does all of the plastic in every one of your modern home appliances.

@@Tac0caT0 thank you 🙏🏼 I will try not to use any of those haha

I know im late, but in "stick framing, as yall call it, we do "staggered studs." Two rows of offset studs lead to no gaps in insulation.

Can you recommend any videos that depict this methodology? I'm interested

@@MrGwizyadig no videos out there that I know of. I've thought about starting a channel to get the word out. Next project I get I will. Though if you have an interest in it. Its super simple. The only tricky part is the topplate/the overhangs. There's 2 ways to do this. Its very obvious on thhe old Gambrel barns 1890-1900s the first steep pitch is terminated into the top plate. Then you notch the toplate and set a 2x6 rafter tail inside the notch at the desire angle. Nail it to the top plate and sistered it to the rafter. That rafter tail can get set to match the pitch of the roof or at a different angle. The 2x6 exterior wall will come up just below that overhang. It will plane in with the bottom side of you raftertail Depending on pitch the rafter tail may need a slight birdsmouth where it meets the wall. The other style is toward a hybrid method of framing. I'll cut my 2x6 or 2x8 rafters with a birds mouth for the top plate and a slight one for the 2x6. In both these methods I but a Frothpak to spray foam that area. The exposed 2x6 or 2x8 in a timberframe roof still look great! Plan on having 8x8 main beam but the 2x lumber inbetween. If you do a tongue and groove exposed deck and foam over. YOU HAVE TO OFFSET YOUR FOAM JOINTS! Otherwise air will leak at the seams and rot it all. Joe Lstiburek has some very good lectures on air leakage. SIPs were notorious for this before they started foam inbetween the joist before install.

@@MrVodkaJohn Please do, that would be quite interesting.

Nice one grandad.

i'm having a timber frame built and i thought about walls alot. in my view wood paneling takes away from the visual effect of the timber frame. i'm having Douglas Fir for the interior and the white pine for the frame with treated white pine on the ceilings of the loft and main room cathedral. it's a 24'x36' Hennin Hammer Beam Truss design. i don't want wall panels to take away from the grace and beauty of the timber frame; it's the main attraction, the star of the show and the reason for the build.

I'm from MA. If I build a house, seriously considering taking this class!

You would be entirely impressed at how cheap rough sawn timber’s are at your local lumber mill. He’s right, there’s no shortage of trees. For a porch addition, I recently bought 6x6s and 6x8s in 20’ lengths for $29 and $36. Spitball some math off that

still cheaper compared to the other materials

Consider our online timber framing course! You can watch a short session for free to help determine if it will be the right fit for you! onlinecourses.shelterinstitute.com/courses/purely-post-beam-online-course

hahaha their online course has TWELVE HOURS of video content if you can't get enough Shelter.

Thank you! You absolutely can, it will likely reduce the depth of visible timber on the interior(8x8 post depth with 2x4 stud walls) but it is totally possible.

Steeper is better for rain, snow, useable space, solar, etc.

Strength is similar or better depending on the quality of studs. And in general, the way timbre is insulated is better than stick

Hi Jose -- That is exactly how we typically build! We use a product called Heritage Natural FInishes. We also sell it and you can find it on our web site. shop.shelterinstitute.com/search?q=Heritage+Natural+Finish
