How to Build a Pole Barn Pt 6 - Sheeting & Wrapping

everybody fatty here and welcome to part 6 of my how to build a pole barn series it's still going cold here now and I said before that starting on a project like this by yourself when the winter was looming probably what the best decision I've ever made but I'm on the home stretch now and I'm feeling pretty good about it I've got to get the roof on and get this thing sheeted with OSB and you know get it closed in and wrapped and if I can get to that point I'll probably knock off for a while till the weather gets a little more favorable and I can get back out here and prettiest singing it up with some signing or whatever I'm going to try to recruit some help to get the roof put on I don't know if I can get anybody to come through for me or not if I don't I just guess I'll figure it out but in the meantime there's a few things that I can be doing to kind of get ready to get that roof put on so I guess it's just time to go ahead and get started one thing I'm kind of be working on the next couple of days while I'm waiting on some help with this roof as I go ahead start putting some as sheeting on there are these two things for me one is it'll be one less thing and I have to fool with and the other thing is when I get the sheathing on it'll start strengthening up its building it'll take out any of the weeble wobble that's in it right now and that'll be a good thing when I'm up on them trusses putting this roof now of course the outside will be wrapped and it'll be protected the inside will be exposed for a while until I get the roof on but it'll be okay for that short period of time I'm going to start in the back of the building everything back there is breaking on eight feet so I'm going to weigh the sheathing long ways so there'll be four runs of sheeting in the back it'll be two and a half high so this time get started of course my pearl ones are breaking on two feet so that's working out real good what I'm going to do is I'll go ahead and nail it off on that purlins then the bottom of course right here and then I'll Pro get to three runs down that way and I'll come back in and chalk on your this middle one so I can just come down through there and now it right into place for get too far along I want to show you how I framed out this door this door came as an afterthought up I just don't wish I would have thought of it when I was setting post because I would have said another post right here to hang that door in but I didn't so I poured a little footer right here so have something to come to frame up now this is this is untraditional framing at best but I think it's going to work just fine what I did was like I came to this post right here on each each of these two posts and it took a 2x6 and I measured it up so that it would be just under 8 feet so that this Girt could continue on its line the way that it's supposed to right here then it came in with a and attached it to that two by six it's a 32-inch door the rough opening of a door is eighty two and a half inches so I cut that eighty two and a half inches right here then I measured out the rough opening 34 inches and I took three two by sixes and joined them together right here so I've essentially made a small little beam right here of course I did the same thing on this side with the with the 8 foot 2 by 6 and then the right here and then what I did was I cut a 2 by 16 to run across the top to make a header from here to here a double them up to give them some strength and make them real good and rigid of course there's a bottom plate on that little footer that I poured assembled everything attached it stood it up and then you know kind of toe nailed it in place and then of course I continued my Gertz along to foot center all the way to the end so that's kind of how that worked out it's good and strong it doesn't wiggle or move it's like sitting on traditional framing but it's the best I could redneck engineers when I seat this side here I'll cover up at door opening and just you know keep on going and I'll come back with the sawzall and cut that opening out so make a little progress today on the sheathing got 80s hair metal in the in the headphones so I'm just going to keep on going ideally if you could sheet that side of that trust before we ever stood it up I'd be a whole lot better but I wasn't able to do that and the problem is I don't have an Ellen surface out there when I attach that gable ladder I lost my nailing surface so I had to come in there on the inside and scab in some places I can nail and what I did was I took some old scraps of two by six and then I took you know some two before scraps and nailed them together and that way I could come back from the inside and put this against the face of the truss and just you know nail it in there real good so what happens is along the top there the ridges of trust I've got it now on surface now so I'm piecing these little two-foot pieces in because I don't want to be trying to carry those huge heavy hanky pieces up a ladder by myself so I'm just going to piece it in that way then hanky pieces will be a little bit lighter when I go to carry em up I've got one more heavy scary piece to put in up there and I'm gonna have to rig something up to do that with but I'm not going to take the time to do it right now because weather is moving in it's supposed to extolling later this evening and I'm going to try to get this thing wrapped as much as I can get the house wrap on it no real magic or mystery behind putting the house wrap on I'm just going to wind it around hopefully I make one continuous run with it if I was going to be putting my siding on right away I probably just staple out stuff on there but it may be out here like this for a while so I'm going to use these little button caps and kind of secure it on that way so it will hold real good over the course of the next several weeks until I get out here and you know finish it out and do whatever I want to do on the sides so let's get started it's kind of sucks doing it by yourself looks like a bell going Lowe's commercial down I got that hi scary piece OSB put in there minute ago he's just old boy all that hunt out here sometimes and I happened to see him coming out of the woods or a little while ago and I said hey bud you remember at buck you killed her a few weeks ago well now it's it's payback time you got to help me put that in so he helped me carry it up there he didn't want to appear on YouTube so we didn't film it you know you're doing a project like this progress is measured in small milestones and getting this thing sheeted is one of them and by getting it wrapped while it will protect the outside of this building until later in the spring when I get out here and put siding on it or whatever I decide to do to pretty up the outside of it I think the weather is going to start letting up for me and I've got some help lined up to help me get this roof on so I'll come back in the next video and I'll show you how we do it hope you enjoyed the video and maybe learn something and got some of your own ideas as always if you like my videos remember give me a thumbs up leave me some comments and subscribe to my channel thanks for watching on the inside and scab in you know these are the problem that it creates is I don't have an ailing surface now I've got one more piece to put in that I've got one more piece to put in up there but I'm not going on one thing I'm kind of working on for this roof is I could get some of the sheeting up the inside of course will be exposed for a while but it'll be okay until I get the root
