Pole Barn Construction And Instruction: Setting Post and Framing

well hello welcome back to tail three cabins things are starting to happen things are going to start moving pretty rapid today we had the holes drilled last video if you remember it rained the next day the next morning and we were a little concerned that the inspector might not pass the holes because they did fill up with some water not all of them but a couple of them had about one or two feet of water in there but he did pass it so we're moving on and things are going to start moving really quick today so come check it out the first thing we're going to start with are the pills that need to go into the base of these holes and we're going to start off with some depth charges this morning and some people call them pills other people call them cookies but they're basically large concrete discs they vary in size and these are going in tapered in first [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] now it won't take long to notice that these guys know what they're doing and they've probably built several of these things in the past and the best thing to do is probably just stay out of their way there are a few different methods when setting your posts some might just have concrete fill that whole hole and use a steel anchor point that the post will sit on top above ground these are going to sit on top of those pills there is a plastic sheath that encapsulates the base of the post so it keeps it from the weather and preventing rot from the concrete that has chemicals that might seep into it or just from the natural moisture of the earth so all the protective coverings are put on the post are all set in holes and now it's time to start lining them up and get them plumbed same string are used to keep the post in line once they're plumbed a brace is put in to keep it to mobile and then they dump 80 pounds of a sat creed in there and then put the dirt back in the hole this pole barn being 24 by 32 most of the posts are eight feet on center and the only exception are where the front door is going to be the main sliding door up front and then a man door on the side which a post is put in place there you can see it on the left of the screen which will help frame for the man door [Music] so [Music] most of these braces will have to stay in place until the metal roofing and siding start getting put up [Music] [Music] the horizontal two by fours are also temporarily until the girts are put up 24 inches on center [Music] so all the posts have been set and the last of the dirt is being placed in the last hole and now it's time to get the laser level out and start preparing the measurements to start the skirt board at the base of the pole barn there's a little bit of figuring going on here so the finished floor and to the bottom of the trusses is going to be 10 feet currently the ground on all four corners are pretty much the same maybe off by a half inch so just going to get a general measurement with the laser line here and then we're going to figure out where 10 feet is going to be total where the finished floor is going to be and then that's where we determine where the skirt boards are going to start huh now that blue line will be the top of the first skirt board that's going to be put in it's treated and it's tongue and groove the second skirt board is placed on top of that and where it looks like right now the seam of the two skirt boards is going to be about where the finished concrete floor is going to be so you can kind of see i got to put some gravel in there and then bring it up to where four inches of concrete can be laid with a slight taper to the center of the pole bar you can see on the right they're starting to put the girts up which are the horizontal two by fours which are two feet on center and that is measured starting from the skirt board here's some extra framing for the 12 foot sliding door that will be 10 feet tall most of the girts are up and if you notice on the gable ends that those posts are taller because it's going to have the peak oh now with the 10 foot mark that's where the header board is going to be and that's where the trusses will rest on 14. the posts are going to be sandwiched between two header boards so the header boards on this pole barn are two by ten so larger pole barn might have two by twelves the trusses are going to be spaced apart four feet on center hey i opted for a 3x3 window and i have a man door 36 inches so [Music] you can see that the door is basically going to be resting on that first seam that i talked about where the concrete is going to come up to you know four to seven and five eight give it a beam [Music] in between the header board they're putting in some tapered blocking which will help brace the trusses once they're on end [Music] do [Music] so [Music] [Music] we're at a good stopping point to pick up where we left off next week we're at about three hours into the project today and they're moving pretty darn quick [Music] i hope you enjoy watching these videos if you haven't subscribed already please do click on that little bell when you want to know what a new one is coming out and keep an eye on us take care everybody we'll see you next week and start off with the trusses you
