Do you use 2x6 on the roof or 2x8?

First thing you do when working with OSB is wear gloves.

Great video series. I lucked out with drilling. Made a jig for drill press. Marked center & drilled . Had 10 & 12 inch marks & just slid holes to them. Also 2 inch for centers. Obviously my home . Wouldn't be worth hauling a drill press to job site

dont use two washers, my suggestion would be a flange nut (Nylock or regular) and locktite

I watched ypur whole series on the deck build. Excellent job. I really liked the way the screeneze looked so we bought it also. Great system but as you noted very pricey. We paid an outstanding crew to do the roof. I felt that was a little over my framing level. Glad we did. They cut out the soffit & opened up the existing roof & tied into the existing roof trusses to get a good pitch. Pretty job. Hard to find guys like this now a days. I actually fired the 1st crew 3 shot days in. To the point of installing screeneze today. Thaks a lot & you seem to be one of those workers that really cares about your work. Keep it up & thanks again

Nice !

can someone please explain how to measure this sharp rafter angles if the other end has a birds mouth? how to measure so both sides fit?

Nice

how do you measure this extremely sharp egdes of rafters that are leaning to roof?

Hi Horst, your series are truly fantastic walkthroughs of any given project - I'm a huge fan and grateful for the time you spend putting these together. Regarding the R-30 fiberlgass insulation and 2" PolyISO under the addition, have the owners encountered any moisture or rotting issues as a result of that installation? It seems it's effectively sealing in any moisture that may get into the insulation zone. I"m building a 32' x 6' covered porch in Vermont atop 2x10s and am leaning towards only using 7.25" R-30 Rockwool, running PVC paneling over bottom of the deck joists, adding two 2" vents, and leaving the remaining joist space as a ventilation avenue. Thank you again for all your videos!!

How big was your rough opening in comparison to the actual door

about 6 years late but how come you install right on old shingles.

Excellent video. Love to see a carpenter with knowledge of the various classical architecture components. Reminds me of the Brent Hull moulding work.

Here is the thing the only thing to remember if your happy with it that's all that counts. People will always pick your work apart after the fact its finished and they didn't help . so I always say to those people where were you when I was doing it good work my friend

Great video! Do you have a video showing how you tie in the new roofing shingles in the valley to the existing roofing shingles or do you know where a good video may be on KZfaq? Can I ask why you didn't remove the roofing shingles underneath the gable roof addition? I thought that you are always supposed to remove them. Thanks.

Great to see a DIY job with real issues to fix, like the wavy floor. Top job.

That drain pipe is running water to nowhere so likely going under the house and eroding your foundations

What kinds of woods did you use for exterior sir?

You’re the man, no leveling clips and not afraid to build up a little (instead of self leveling) to get flat. Great job

11:00 I notice you don't like to use joist tape (black butyl that comes in 50' rolls to protect exposed edges), but assume that's a choice you made specifically for the enclosed portion of the screen porch.

I think you basically re-discovered an old geometric axiom, that the diagonals of a trapezoid can ALSO be equal, just like a rectangle. I'm always making boo boos like that dang rim beam SNAFU. Glad to know I'm not the only one.

What kind of scaffolding platform are you using there... a folding ladder? (Nope, an 8' extending plank, you mention later.)

So you never ever add wood preservative to your cut ends? Some people are religious about that (I'm in the middle), though today's PT lumber is so crappy it rots and splits the moment you turn your back, anyway. Especially the stuff from HD or Lowes.

20:00 Yeah, suggest never pre-drilling for any of the LedgerLOK, HeadLOK, ThruLOK series.

17:00 One alternative way to deal with the mismatch between your 3" beam and the 2x4's you're installing there would be to lay the cripples at 90-deg., with their wide side flush against the outside. Gives you plenty of structural strength for the roof (not that any is really needed) plus more nailing surface for the siding. Anyway, that's how I do mine. 🙂

12:00 Although I haven't tried it, I wonder if some slender stainless steel brads would serve better fastening down that T-111 to the knee wall. Screws always seem to chew it up and promote rot, whereas stainless (maybe aided by some construction adhesive) should give plenty of grab without the gouges.

9:30 I may have to dispute the claim that deck screws can or should be used as "utility screws" (i.e. installed anything but vertically straight down). They are hella brittle compared with true construction screws and, of course, 10p or 12p nails.

18:30 I'm scratching my head about how your shallow cuts for the high side of those roof rafters came to be calculated. Gonna watch to the end to see how you bridge the resulting gap, since you obviously planned it. But if you had to do it over again, why not have those rafters "sitting on" the existing roof as much as possible?

What's your price range in this type of endeavor? Just curious .

Thank you sooooo much my friend !!!!

Square work!

Holly shiiit man are you building helicopter platform for leading ? lol , you're uesing too much wood man lol

As a skilled carpenter of 40 years experience. This guys DYI porch roof isn't the correct way of building the project.

A pleasure to watch you work; reminded me of watching my father. BUT, that work deserved a new, matching storm door!

How long did these two doors take?

Thank you! I found our rake extentions are just OSB with no supports. You showed me how to resolve this simply without having to notch out rafters. Woo hoo! I can do this! ❤️ - Marisa

Your location ? You can work west alabama?

Nice job. I watched them all. What do you charge for a 3 season room

Always use exterior torx screws instead of nails.

You have to cross brace those joists. That way they won't warp and it'd fix that one warped board.

The part I really wanted to see in detail was the part that was rushed through at fast forward, with no verbal comments.

Wow, beautiful job.

Thank you very much for this video, exactly what I was looking for- to extend the roof and build soffits as existing roof edge doesn’t protect siding and windows from elements.

if you were going to replace your cabinets would you recommend placing tile underneath the cabinets as well? We have a similar project and are wondering what most do with the dishwasher, cabinets and , in our case, a gas stove.

Any materials list? I'm looking to same size project with almost identical roof situation. Thanks !

Where have you been. I’ve been looking for new videos. Hope you get back to KZfaq soon

Just wondering: is it possible to support the joists on a ledger board?

It would be great if there was a carpenter out there that would post a video doing exactly what's being done here, and using the imperical method

Looking forward to seeing the new videos
