[Music] n [Music] aahah [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] oh all right guys so we're going to be building this garage here we're going to have 16t walls everything is going to be stick framed on 16in centers 2x sixes we're going to be using trusses and we're going to be using regular OSB plywood 7/16 on the walls 5/8 on the roof so I will get into explaining exactly why I chose all this in a little while so my original plan was to build the entire wall wall at once so on the long sides it' be 60 ft on the short sides it' be 40 ft I wanted to build the whole wall at once sheath it all in get it like it's 100% done except for the siding and then stand it up but the weather is become very unpredictable we don't have a lot of good weather so so there's a few reasons why I changed that approach and I went back to just standing up sections of the wall at once with no sheathing on it number one we only have a very short window here of good weather so tomorrow it's already supposed to rain so what I don't want is to have a whole wall 60 ft long that's got sheathing on it stand it up and then we can't come back for a week and do anything more cuz that's about what it's looking like right now so I'm thinking that we're going to keep all the sheathing off for right now until all of the walls are built and finalized and then we'll put it all on at once that way when we're done we can immediately get on the trusses and start to get this weathered in cuz right now if I stand up wall that's got sheathing on it they're going to swell up from the rain I don't know how the winds are going to be right now it's a very calm day but this is not very common for this time of the year usually it's very windy in the spring because the leaves aren't on the tree to block the wind so we're really lucky and fortunate to get this day that we have right now but we're not going to get very many more of those until we start to see leaves on the trees so that's another reason why I don't want to put the sheathing on right now because these 16t walls are a giant Sail and I don't want things to get knocked over by the wind especially if we're just not even building at the time anyways cuz like in the next few days we're just going to be switching to something else because we don't have good weather so I don't want to just leave these walls sitting where they can get knocked over so we're going to build 16t sections at a time stand them up brace them down and just move on and get the whole thing done and then we'll see it in all at once so right now we're crowning all of the 2x6s cuz these are 16 ft long so even the slightest crown on it could be an inch off on the wall and you don't want the crown going one way on one stud and then the next stud is Crown the opposite way that make for a really bad looking wall so we're trying to keep the best ones for the main King studs and then we'll use some of the bad ones for cripples and Jacks and stuff but also if they're not too bad we'll just Crown them all the same way so that's what we're doing right now so I've been using the p Lo framing nailer for a while and it's worked really well but I just wanted another gun that was cordless or hoseless I guess you could say so I got this I don't know I'm not a big Ryobi fan but let's try it out and see if it works I wanted aita but they don't even have it out yet it's like in the works right now but so I didn't want to switch to like a Milwaukee platform when I really don't run Milwaukee so I don't have their batteries I however have a lot of Ryobi tools so I brought all mine and I also didn't want to switch to DeWalt cuz I don't have anything for them that's nice I figured R Obi kind of get my foot in the door with one of these air strike guns I don't know we'll see they're manufactured by the same company that makes Milwaukee so it should be all right yeah see the biggest problem is over here I'm 300 ft from my garage to run the air hose so I have a big 240 volt air compressor over there and we're also 300 ft from power supply so running a compressor off a 300 ft of cord is not ideal either so either way I do it it's not really that great to run a Pneumatic nailer which I have a paslo Pneumatic nailer but also having the convenience of not having a hose is nice too I know these guns are not going to be near as fast as AA gun but with two of them going we should be all right and I made sure that I got the 30° so that I could run the same Nails as I'm running in the pass load I've been using these pass load nailers for 15 years now these things are really good but you can only hold one clip in there so this you can do like one and a half maybe it looks like no it's it's well one yeah I guess you could do one and a half but it's not really convenient run one so I'm running this without the HP battery I heard the HP battery gives it a lot of problems and then there's some other people that are saying that you have to run HP batteries I don't see why though might just not get the full 750 nails but I'm fine with 600 or whatever this will provide so we'll try out the the regular standard 4 amp hour batteries so in this garage we're going to have minimal Windows I'm thinking we're only going to put two on the 60t sides each and then maybe two on the back and I'm also going to put another man door on the back the M door for the front's going to be right there we're going to have a 12T wide garage door there and a 10t wide garage door there and I'm also going to have a lean to on that side so I know that those windows are not going to provide like a whole lot of light but it's better than nothing and the lean to roof is going to come all the way up to almost the other roof so I really can't put a window there either and believe it or not this slab has zero cracks in it still one thing I did want to do with the windows is put them up quite a bit higher than normal because the further up you go the more light you can get first of all and second of all I don't really want it down to the level where if I'm away for a while people can like peek in the windows I'm never really a big fan of that so I want them kind of Out Of Reach unless you use a ladder to peek in him cuz if I'm gone for a few weeks or something I don't want people to be like looking in here so we'll probably set the bottom of these windows at around 6 ft or so and normally when I'm standing up walls like this the the only thing I do really for the windows is I leave a space for them and I put the kings in there and then once the wall is up I put the Jacks and The cripples and the header that way you keep the wall as light as possible on the ground and then once it's stood up you can fill that stuff in easy so let's go over the reasons I chose stick framed over other types of construction here originally I did want a steel building and I started pricing them out and every time I talk to a steel building manufacturer or distributor it just seemed like they were always trying to sell me something and I really didn't like that um you would get a hold to somebody and you'd ask for a price and the next thing you know they'd be calling you non-stop trying to get you to buy something from them and I'm just not a fan of that whole type of deal it's good okay I guess that seems pretty good actually so far I'm pleasantly surprised so the other reason why I didn't go with a steel building is because of the price so a lot of these guys were starting out at about 50 Grand just for the bare minimum that's just for the structure and the siding and roofing and that's not anything obviously with the site work or the concrete work or any kind of insulation or finish work anything else it was just the frame and the siding and the roofing so then I started pricing out for a regular post frame construction or a pole barn as you might call it and I don't know if you guys have ever watched RNR buildings but I watch him a lot or at least I used to anyways and I love post frame construction the problem is in New York state the snow load is so heavy here that you got to have the columns 4et apart and you still have to have headers so by the time you buy those laminated columns at 16 ft long they got pressure treated on the bottom and KD on the top or SPF and those columns are about $120 a piece and for 200 ft of perimeter you're looking at like 50 of those things so just the columns alone were like6 or $7,000 or somewhere in that range I can't remember exactly but I started pricing it out and I'm like well if if I just stick frame this with 2x sixes a 2x6 I can get for $10 and those columns have three 2x sixes in them so really I'm paying $120 for a column that really only has $30 worth of material in it and that got me thinking well let me just price the whole thing out with stick frame and just just out of curiosity let me see what it's going to be and the framing for this whole building is only $3,000 for the wall walls and then the trusses you'd still have the same trusses whether you're going with a post frame or stick frame so that doesn't even really matter but just the walls alone it's such a big difference and I'm sure if you're in a different area with a lot lower snow load it wouldn't be so bad like if you could put the post 8 ft apart then that's really not so bad the problem also is that you have to have headers as well so even at 4T apart you still have to have headers so now you're looking at 2x 12s going around the whole building at least two of them going around 200 ft maybe even three of them so and some people use lvls but on a 4ft span that 2x 12 would be fine so now in addition to the6 or $7,000 that you have for the columns now you have to also put the headers up to me that's just getting into a lot of unnecessary money want so while I do love post frame construction I just don't believe that it's a viable option for this area the other part about post frame construction that you have to think about is the fact that if you have the post 4 ft apart now you're putting the weight on the slab 4 ft apart instead of spreading it out so now you have a much higher Point load on each 4T section which probably isn't a big deal but it's just another thing to think about if you have the post 8 ft apart then you're really putting a lot of stress every 8 ft instead of every 16 in like I have here so after doing months of research and thinking about it I just came to the conclusion that steel frame was just too expensive and I didn't like the operation that they have going on with the salesman and then post frame was just too expensive and I do like the operation with post frame but at the same time it's just not cost effective to do that here so that led me to stick framing which really was my last option when I first started designing this if I could have designed this building myself and then welded all the steel together and do a weld up construction then I would have done that cuz that would have been cheap enough where I could handle that and it probably would have been about the same money as stick frame but in my area anything over 1,400 Square ft and you need engineered plans and there's not many Engineers that are going to sign off on a weld up project like that um they get away with it out in Texas all the time but that's not something you can really do in New York here you got to have joints that are bolted together and when you get involved in that you just get involved in a lot of different stuff so at that point you're better off just finding a prefabricated building that you can put together yourself and another thing I'm using regular OSB and I'll get into more of the reasons why later but I just want to tell you guys right off the the bat I'm not really a fan of OSB especially just regular OSB zipboard is quite a bit better regular OSB was a lot cheaper and I I actually saved about $3,000 from using regular OSB over zipboard so I'll get into more detail about that later but for right now just know that I didn't even need any sheathing on this project but the engineer sort of insisted on it so I'll tell you more about that later see now it's it's secure and it's not going you know it could tip a little bit but it's not really it's not dangerous I think this works great this is so tell me when that's about [Music] flatten that is solar panel [Music] consideration the bow that's perfect right there good oh god oh [Applause] sh come with a clip we just didn't put it on for um f is for the [Applause] [Applause] f okay [Applause] for for [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] St good [Music] is better [Music] [Music] all right now we do anything you need to put so basically what we're doing is taking the sill seal and stapl it to the bottom of the bottom plate for the first section of walls on each wall and then after that we just sort of leave it long and then as we're putting the wall on we'll straighten it out it's easy to straighten that out afterwards especially if you have a bar lift it up like that or if you just lift up with a t Handler what we're doing up there with that 2x4 is lining up all the studs so that they're on Center because with a long stud like this they could be all over the place and in order for that brace to have any strength you want to nail it to each stud but you can't do that until these are straightened out so basically what we do is we start off with just a couple Nails in the bottom couple Nails on the top of that diagonal right there and don't nail anything else and then we'll straighten it out with that by running our 16s from the corner mark it on that 2x4 and then just put every one of those in place that way they're nice and straight and then you can go and put all your nails in a diagonal and now you have a nice sturdy wall without plywood on it as we're going along we're putting a top plate on so we started with a 4ft section and then we just run 16t from there so they stagger 4T so same thing there we started out with a 4ft section that overlaps the other plate and then when we put the next wall up we'll put a 16 footer from there 4 ft into that section so for right now so for right now because we don't have sheathing on the walls to blow in the wind we're getting away with a brace every 16 ft at a 45° diagonal but if we had plywood on the walls especially with these tall of walls you would want them about every 8 fet so before we put plywood on these walls I'm going to put one in the middle of each one of these and I'm going to also make them taller so they go right up to the top plate so we'll have lots of extra strength here this is adequate for what we got right here because if the wind blows on it it's nothing for it to catch but when we get all done and before we put our OSB on there we'll put bracing in between each one of these braces and and one thing I don't know if you guys caught on to this yet but we have to cut every one of these studs because they're 16 ft but they come a little bit longer than 16t first of all second of all the edges are not squared up and third of all we don't want a 16t stud because then you have an inch and a half for the bottom plate and 3 in for the top plate so it' be 4 and 1/2 in Long even if they were exactly 16 ft which is fine except for the fact that when you go to put sheathing on that goes every 4 ft so then when you get to the top you got a little 4 and 1/2 in strip that you got to put on and that's just kind of annoying and I don't need that extra 4 and 1/2 in so the way it is right now we can just run four stacks of sheathing and it's right to the top and there's no ripping any sheets and that's just a lot more streamlined cuz it's not that important to have that extra 4 and 1/2 in [Music] [Applause] [Music] hey no [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] hey [Music] a [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] w [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] he e [Music] [Music] m [Applause] [Music] [Music] down help me I put right now we move this board over this one move it over that way going to go that way that way right there okay good you did a good job no we're going to put it right there that's good [Music] well don't put it underneath you right go that way with it right next to that one I did a good job a good job good job you being a good helper yeah yeah good helper but not a good listen yeah now right the ball that's good we're good we're good good I can hold the boy [Music] good job chees where did you get this [Music] for go over with it thank you than good good [Music] oh [Music] for [Music] [Applause] [Music] all right so at this point we have our braces in between the other braces they're at a more extreme angle but they'll still do the trick so we ran a string line from point A to point B and we set that wall up top so it's exactly where we need it to be and what I want to do now is stiffen up these braces cuz these are 16 ft long this is a 2x4 and depending on even if the wind blows this can make the Wall go in and out a little bit so I want to make this a t by adding another 2x4 going the other way on top here and then that way it can't do this so I just got 12T 2x4s cuz you don't need to go all the way to the end the flex is going to be in the middle [Music] [Music] [Music] all right so we got everything all braced up we got a te on each one of these we ran a string line down every wall and straighten it up so everything is within a 16th of where it should be uh it's probably over braced but to me there's no such thing so now what we're going to work on is getting all of our Jacks our cripples and our headers in each one of these openings so I decided that the bottom of the window is going to be got 6t so this is our first Jack and all of them are going to be at the same height so I know that's a very tall sitting window but that's what I want um for many different reasons but number one privacy number two if I decide I want to put some wall air conditioners in there they're much more effective to be taller up and the light coming in is more effective if they're taller up as well so a few different reasons why I wanted to do that and also you have more wall space underneath of it that's useful so since this isn't a house I'm not worried about like Cosmetics You could argue that a window would be better to go down to the floor but this is not a house I want it to be more useful than anything functionality over cosmetics for [Music] sh is what [Music] there's five of those need two more well I need two more but they're going to be at a different measurement uh same width but different measurement different uh like so the door needs 38 and a half so we need to add three so that's 41 and2 [Music] [Music] [Applause] we is for [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] all right so all the windows and doors are framed in you can see we got them pretty high up that's exactly what I wanted just this one down here we had to leave it down lower because this is going to be a room here so we're going to have floor droids right above that so I couldn't keep that window up high like the other ones and this will be the back door to get into this room over here which will be like a nuts and bolts room I guess in general it'll be like hardware and possibly some tools but probably just Hardware and just one window on the back here I know a lot of you probably think I'm crazy for just being so minimal on the windows but it's really what I want it's a garage it's not a house so we're just getting things cleaned up and we're going to start sheathing this side so 10x 10 garage door 12x 14 garage door so 12 ft wide 14 tall I wanted to go 14 wide with this but the engineer would not let me budge on that either I could have an 8ft door here and a 14t door there or a 10ft door here and 12ft door here I could only have 22 ft of doors he would not let me budge on that he said because this is a sheer wall there's just not enough wall to keep this Gable end from racking so as it is we already need to do some crazy stuff with some um special brackets that you put on the bottom and then we need to actually use 3/4 in uh tapcons going in the bottom and so this whole wall is like specially built because there's not enough for it to be a sheer wall which is kind of crazy because I've seen garages like this that were built with almost no wall on this side so I don't know I don't know what's so different about this garage but unfortunately it wasn't my decision um I probably could have got real crazy with the sheer wall and there's special brackets that you can put on the corners to make this work and I could have probably got another 2T but I think 12 ft wide is going to be plenty if anything's wider than 12T going in here then it's just probably doesn't belong in here and then for this side this will be more like for cars and pickup trucks and SUVs and stuff have the lift in there and then that side we'll have like a portable lift for bigger vehicles bigger machines we'll have the whole Lane open that side only half of it open cuz there's going to be a room over there and then there's also going to be a second floor so let me explain how we're going to move forward with the sheathing um originally I wanted to do zip board so 716 zip on the walls and then 5/8 on the roof but the price of zip is just so crazy right now um by doing it with OSB I saved about $3,000 and you may say on this big of a building that might not seem like a lot of savings but but that amount of savings allows me to put some insulation on the exterior of this whole building and still be less money than it would cost for zip so zip really does nothing more than seal up for air sealing and then it also has a house wrap built in but you still have to tape all the joints and that does take quite a while and so what I decided on doing instead was to put 3/8 fan fold on the wall so I'm going to take some of the savings that I made from not using zipboard and I'm going to use it for exterior sheathing and that does a lot more than the zipboard cuz the zipboard has zero R value so instead of house wrap I'm going to upgrade to fanfold insulation and then we'll have a little bit of a thermal break not a whole lot but it's enough it's enough to be something so I'd much rather do that it'll be a little bit more work but at the same time I'm getting more value when I'm done and as far as structurally I don't even need this on here I could have just done some bracing on the walls and then basically the metal siding on this would have been the sheathing it would it would hold everything from racking so I really don't even need sheathing but the engineer kind of insisted that I had it I was just going to do pearlins on here and girs but he wanted me to do sheathing he wasn't saying like absolutely no but he was really leaning towards saying that so I was I just you know what I'll just go with it sheathing is not that much money and I do like the idea that it Seals Everything up pretty good like from mice and bugs and stuff I know you can seal it up pretty good with just the metal but it's just an extra layer so as we're putting the sheathing on I'm going to run a tape from one end to the other and we're going to nail every stud on the sheathing at exactly the 16in center cuz they're really Bode whenever you have long studs like this 16 ft they're just going to be really bod that's just sort of the nature of the Beast and so as we're going along every time we nail the top of each piece of sheathing we're going to set it at the right spot with the tape we're just going to run 100t tape down here and just every time we nail one it's going to be right on the money and then that way when we put up the next 4T of sheathing we'll do the same thing with the top of that so it'll be 4 8 12 and then the top we don't have to set so that'll keep all the studs super straight [Music] [Music] [Music] this this thing is now one thing f we got to got to leave a little bit of a gas what for [Music] come [Applause] [Music] [Music] a [Music] [Music] and and good get my these I'm it off I don't care what you saym ready ready break tell me when you good good [Applause] Co [Music] [Applause] [Music] next kind of almost need to put a 4ft sheet right there if we don't have any of them we'll just have to work our way across [Applause] [Music] good this go out a little bit only problem is oh I guess we got to sheat right there right hold on I got to reload first suck is this most of the sheets can be wasted yep but we're going to need a piece for up there so maybe it'll be perfect maybe perhaps will it will it rest on that side if that's where you got to be it kind of does it's yeah I mean need to go your way about an eighth of an inch but I can do that [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] well I mean we could actually just go we could put the sheet on top of this and just leave the 4T for after do that the last thing huh does that actually oh that actually does land on that stud huh that's cool I don't know how but it does well that's the way it's supposed to good and stuff and things [Music] yeah maybe it's not to bad having it to swivel like that free balling maybe it's not cool yeah maybe not whoa I guess it's whoever pushes harder [Music] gets good I believe so see fit no what it fits going to fit what well that's cuz we got the thing closed when you open it up you'll see waa why you just leave this thing running I'm going to do that [Applause] now you got to taken that belt well let's put this up [Music] here you good um not really but okay little nice and gentle that should be good good should be right there right that's where it is to come over to me a little bit how about like that like that you can dig [Music] that is that halfway way why it goes from your spacing down to nothing [Music] um f I [Applause] [Applause] so I didn't exactly pick the best day to do this but I want to put some house wrap on this I'm not a huge fan of house wrap there's much better ways to seal this building up but in this case I wanted to use some exterior insulation some some rigid insulation and to use that you need a weather barrier even though the rigid insulation is going to be sealed up with tape in between the joints and that acts as a weather barrier to code that's technically not enough so a lot of times on a remodel I'll use some fanfold insulation and they make some fan folds that have perforations so it counts as a weather barrier but but I was reading online and technically they actually don't meet the specifications for the building codes so so on a new constru ruction project like this using fanfold I just don't want to get involved in anything where I have to tear it off and put a weather barrier on so I got some cheap house wrap and the idea is I'm going to put it on for now and it's going to protect the building for a little while and and then I'll put some rigid insulation on it later on and then I'm going to put my metal siding on so I'm not sure if I'm going to put fan fold over that or if I'll do like a 1 in rigid insulation but either way putting the house wrap on means that I'm meeting code and then after that I can kind of do what I want I'm a big fan of exterior insulation cuz you're insulating the studs that way your studs don't have any thermal transfer and even 38 fanfold would do quite a bit for that but I'm still not determined whether I want to do that or like a 1-in installation we'll see how the pricing goes but either way just putting this house wrap on here will kind of keep this protected for a little while is is are is [Music] he [Music] so I just want to say I am not a fan at all this is like some of the worst work I've ever done with this house wrap it's been a long time since I used house wrap mostly what I use is zipboard mostly what I use is zipboard or I apply a liquid house wrap I'm a big fan of anything to do with waterproofing being liquid not a fan at all of this but like I said this is just a meat code it's one of those things where it's kind of redundant cuz the foam I put on on top for this will do the job better than this will but code is kind of stuck in its way so but for $300 and a few hours of time we'll meet code and then we can do what we want so not much else to say about this it's pretty basic um 2x6 construction 16t walls 40x 60 trusses are ready to get set right now it's the end of the week it's Friday night and next week looks pretty good on the weather radar so we should be able to set those trusses no problem should be able to have those all done next week the roof will be sheathed in and then we'll have a weatherproof structure minus the windows and doors so at that point I can actually start working on a few things inside of here cuz I have a few projects that I really need to get in here as soon as possible the teleah Handler is the number one thing cuz it's hard to use that the fume coming from it are so bad so we don't like to run it too much unless we have to cuz it's definitely really low on compression so as soon as I get the roof on this I'm probably going to pull that tele Handler right in here and rebuild that engine so I think that's it for this video guys and I'll see you on the next one [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music]
