Does the truss bottom cord have to sit on the outer wall top plate? Or can trusses be shaped like a letter A with the bottom cord half way up to allow a taller ceiling in the center, like for a garage?

Thank you for such a thorough video wis awesome visuals!

Thank you

Wish i seen this vid before i built my fist 8 step stairs and stringers. Diagram on point.👍

On the bottom repair How would you recommend cutting?

How long are those 4 hip rafters? Where do you get that lumber?

easy way to do it , run your ridge long on the hip side, then put the rafter up and draw the line, cut it in place

Any chance there is a video about replacing the mud sill/plate?

Hi could I theoretically just cut the rebar to fit in each section so I wouldn’t have to notch out any forms ? And about more then half of my drive is already concrete and half is grass but I’m getting ponding from my back alleyway bc I’m below the asphalt (which is owned by city) so I’m going to raise it another 4 inches and widen it another 4 feet . Should I use bonding product for parts over existing concrete ?

Do you have a materials list for this project?

I've been thinking about this for my house. 25x40 3 bedroom 1 bath. I don't think I could flip anything and not put a bedroom at the front of the house.

You can coat the post portion that will be exposed to soil with a waterproof membrane you brush on this will buy you years.

Great video ❤

Great video!!! Thanks for the knowledge. I know its an old video, so I dont espect an reaction to my question, but I dont understand how this pyramide roof is supported to avoid it pushing the walls outside. I cant find an answer online for this problem.

What can be maximum slope of my garage ? On how much maximum slope i can park my car

great video, but I'm not clear how often (if at all) I need expansion joints between sections. I'm also not clear on what my options are for making those expansion joints.

Are the cleanouts in a typical location? I have a small 1 toilet house in concrete slab. Bath tub wall is shared with washer dryer room.

So lets say i wantt o replace the tub and the whole floor cuz its all rotted, what can i do?

This is good information Greg. I hope to be installing a ridge beam next week. Thank you.

how long can I leave the plastic on the hill? I have a small hill that is completely out of sight from anyone so I don't care how ugly it looks. can I leave the plastic on there long term?

Never put plumbing in the exterior wall in cold climates

My garage walls are 8'1''. If I use T 1 11 siding, it will be 8 feet in height. I will hang in down 1 inch past the lower plate. Thank you for sharing this Greg.

If I use the kitchen sink or laundry there is no buildup in the kitchen laundry area but the guess bath room toilet and tub will fill up and the bottom of the toilet will leak

What about pitch patch, in place of silicone?

Thank you so much

Could you use this foundation to set an ADU on?

Good bit of info there. I hadn't thought about flammable liquid absorption. It would help spread the liquid farther. That could wick out liquid and make more vapor I think.

man thx so much u made my day thx

Plan on buildin an A Frame soon so more details the better! Thank you for this video

Why would someone change a full bath to a half bath?

1inch is in meters?

Hi Good afternoon Juvy checking can can I go around outside the wall house or need to be inside

This is a good video on building a substantial porch. But I am interested more in something like an overhang.

So glad you addressed this problem in the industry. Wire mesh has no business being in anything structural

Thanks for sharing. There are almost no videos about supporting hip roofs.

What are your thoughts in a case where during the build of the home there was some settling from the exterior walls to the middle of the home which has caused rooms along the outer edges of the home to have a fairly steep slope before leveling off? Is it possible/acceptable to shim joists between the main beam and the joists to raise the floor and do that in sections from end to end until the floor is level? Thanks!

Thumbs up. A little late

My Brother's house has a massive amount of driveway and many of the separate slabs are lifted and/or cracked. We discovered that there is zero reinforcement and no base preparation under the slabs when we demolished the worst one to replace it. I'm pouring small sections to join my asphalt to my new garage and I'm using rebar but not connected to the adjoining slabs.

This is exactly what i was looking for SR. Im. Building a tree house for my daughter and is exactly that shape. So im thinking on doing the slope from the front to the back. This video help me so much. Thanks for being a great teacher😊

Your graphics were very helpful to understand the options (as opposed to seeing mostly someone talk) - so thank you very much

What is the calculation for the Dutch hip roof

I typically use a chaulk line, much lighter as stringline can sag. Then I set 2 ea 2x4 block on top of sill plate and under my stud then slide the top of the stud along the chaulk line a few inches enough to get a mark. Voila. And I do agree there should be PT vertical plates and sill seal on steps.

❤excelente video thank you 😀❤

Good evening hope I find you well ...out of interests sack do you have plans with measurements to this particular Aframe

Thank you

Very few people could explain in a simple way thank you nice

What if you stab rebar through the bags?

Thanks so much for putting out such informative content for free

This is my exact configuration, what are the odds that this video was uploaded the same day I start on my building plans. I'm adding a covered porch rather than a room addition, this is great information!
