Building a Mancave 7: Framing a hipped porch

all right we're back here it's a brisk morning but there's no wind again we are getting super lucky with the cold weather coming in without wind usually those two seem to come with each other but we're gonna go ahead and get going on this back end wall which first we got to get our porch pier brackets installed so we can start building this porch once the framing is done then we have it properly flashed we can bring the steel up and over the corner so that's gonna be the main goal today look at that brand-new SDS inch and 7/8 the Walt sent out so of course we're gonna give it a try pretty much overkill and then Bosch stopped over yesterday to the job site and brought out these demo bits here look at the tip on those I was always a Bosch rotary hammer guy but I don't own any box rotary hammer is cordless mine are all corded sort of this thing holy cow honestly I don't have any review of this thing I haven't even used it as you can tell but we're gonna though it's got a soft ramp up adjustable speed let's go dig some holes Drake what I think I want to like about this is that most of time when you go ahead and start in with a rotary hammer it bounces all over the place but this has a really has a slow start up and then it ramps up so I'm hoping that that takes care of that honestly I feel like very little to no vibration in my hand but the weight of the tools is the whole job I love those Simpson type hd's Simpson you want sponsor me huh you know it doesn't happen all the time but when it does it makes you proud and what I'm talking about is when you pour all of your porch piers come back in with a laser and every one of them it's the mark I always say if you spend time early and if you work at your layout when you put the site in everything falls together much easier and this is another one of those examples we're gonna now be able to cut all three porch post piers exact our porch post exactly the same I always try to get our cedar s4s so it's sanded on all four sides almost always comes out of Boise Cascade there's a big supplier or a supply house really close to me and they've always got a really nice cedar product it's very clean it's not all cracked out six by six s4s cedar that's what we like to do our post-and-beam look on our building we think it sets it off real nice well I'm I'm super disappointed because I forgot my favorite beam saw you guys have seen me use it and the tools des vidéos i've used it for the last probably about a year now that's a super sasquatch I forgot it at home I try not to keep it the trailer because it is an expensive tool and I don't want it to get ruined or something set on it or you know get it off I guess I don't want to mess up the precision of it I've spent a lot of time getting it zeroed in and how I like it and I don't want it to get hit even though it sits in that sweet case so I'm having to use my 10 inch chop saw and it requires me to be very careful and I have to cut halfway through flip it over get it precisely lined back up and then cut it again and it really sucks especially when I have to cut my miters here that I'm gonna be cutting for the the header around the corners I couldn't do it I had to greg graciously thank you Greg yes awesome headed back to the shop picked up the beam saw because as you can see this is all I was able to do on one cut one side of the miter saw I couldn't even get down all the way so it's only a ten inch and it just didn't have the depth you know so I'd rather use this anyway we just made the commitment I've got the post we just stood those up so now we're gonna do is we're gonna cut the beams that go around so we've got miters out on these two points over here so that's that's the hardest part you got to go in perfect and this thing does a good job it's what I ended up doing was I went ahead and took my receiver and I set it along and right at the top of this post set it and then I used it to transfer over to these marks here and what that is is if you look that first line is the top of my post which means that's where my header the bottom of my header is gonna die in right here and then this line I snapped five and a half inches up that's the top and that's where I'm gonna run a two by against the wall so I can support my ceiling and my hip rafters and all that other good stuff is going to be all based off of that line which will be the top of my header so now we're able to I'm gonna put a couple blocks just to temporarily mount the headers where they die into the seat of the wall and we'll get them all mounted up so I spent time to figure out all my angles calculations figured out what my degrees where where my purlins ended up on my rafters I got them cut I've got the locations marked out now everything I did was to Center so I've also got to always take into account for that so like for this right here the actual centerline of my purlins is going to look like that going that way and from this way it'll be something like this but you'll see that when I get up but these are my two hips what happened was Kyle made a little mistake but it really is gonna be okay you can see how much bearing I got out here on my post in my corner column where Greg is but what happened is these are twelve foot two by twelves and I needed twelve foot four inches so what we're gonna do is we're gonna put them up there and then I'm gonna cut I've already cut a couple two by six blocks that I'm gonna laminate to each side that's gonna come out to help frame in my overhang now I understand that's not you know Oh perfect but let's be real I'm not perfect and so this is kind of like the fix on site in a perfect world I would have to buy 12 16 footers here that I cut down when I did the initial math I don't think I was thinking about the one foot overhang that I had to account for and I typically do a purl in on top of my rafter which means I don't need as long of a rafter because it's actually sunk down into the roof system so I don't that really makes sense but this is gonna be the top of this 2 by 12 will be the top plane of my roof where I'm gonna put my sheathing and so with that being said I ended up meeting a little bit longer 2 by 12 but I think it's gonna work I'm anxious to put them up on the building and actually see if all of my math is correct because math never lies the problem is you can do the wrong math and then it could be wrong so hopefully I didn't just waste a bunch of time now you can see what we've got going so this was the end of that 2 by 12 that we actually ran short on and we've got it installed we've got our other face had done and basically what I've done is I've cut blocks with the appropriate angle and all I'm gonna do just gonna slide them in running them on the top of my header that's the beauty is math never lives so we're gonna put this all together right when I post B's and because this is not a perfect 45 degree since we've got different dimensions so this dimension going back that way is eight feet but this is only seven foot this is actually offset from where the corner of the 40s but that's only the hip is offset it will look that will look appropriate once we get it all done I don't know if that makes sense there we go rag there we so is this how I wanted it no I really wanted this two-by-two plane all the way down perfect but you know we're not in a perfect world but I think it turned out a lot better than a anytime you do a lot of math and weird angles you never question all it takes is one mishap I always like to just throw a bunch of grk screws in here and then I come back in with some luck 2030 I've got to do now is cut these purlins and these purlins they're what's gonna go up here on the roof and are gonna frame in from this wall to this wall that's my framing that I'm gonna sheet kind of like the purlins that are up on the main roof what I've got to do is they've got a compound angle so as you can see here they're pitched at a 4-12 to be planed in with the 4:12 pitch of my roof but then on the end they're also pitched at forty six point eight seven degrees which if you remember back here I figured that out so this corner this triangle of my roof is what this is right here and I did all this math already and it will be the exact same when I flip flop it over here so I just have to change the angles and this side I have not done yet in here these will actually carry from one hip to the other and I've dropped down this rafter so that my 2x4 perrilyn will go right over top of it so these compound angles are a little bit tough got the chop saw out and you just got to take them nice and slow so all of the math that I just done was all based on the centerline of these hip rafters from the wall that's what I got to do is we've got this 3/4 I'm just gonna mark it at 3/4 and plane it back this way playing it back this way and this is where my rafters are gonna die in right here and then we'll use the math up here we've got our snap line this is the top plane line from our our 2 foot 8 rise down to our fascia line and really the math is when there you go it's a good example of how if you take the time to do the math things should work and that's constant and if you put everything where you're supposed to go should straighten everything out as well we'll get some hangers over here we remember we did that ledger two by twelve over here that's what everything's fascinating into so we got nice and solid we'll get some hangers and then you can see here how this two by twelve is dropped that's for a two by four plane to go over top of it we'll hit some 60s straight down and then it will plane right into our hip rafters all right were we made our marks so the major takeaway from this video guys is use math especially when making complicated dimensional cuts on a project like a hip porch and we're gonna go ahead and break this up because the next video will all be about I guess the finishes will sheet it will get the steel on it will do the trim details but it's just too much to put all into one video without sacrificing and I figure you guys would rather have more content than not enough so we'll look for you on the next video make sure you subscribe hit that thumbs up share these videos with your friends I really appreciate the support and that definitely gives me the encouragement to keep going but for now we'll catch you guys on the next video and stay tuned later
