I watched THREE guys take 7 days in great weather to frame and sheath my 24x24 garage. You, sir, are an amazing worker.

[@MyDIYAdventures]

Thanks! I guess I can almost do the work of 3 guys-ish!

[@dh03]

Them boys gotta be paid hourly

[@jasonbrink4237]

That's probably because framing has been micro managed down to one guy only knows how to do one thing. That has controlled the wages for most trades and the money the employee should be making goes into the bosses pocket

[@whatdoyouthinktodd]

​@@MyDIYAdventuresMaybe but having another guy on the ladder while you're on a ladder. With a gopher to hand everything. Oh I see 4:30 every afternoon then. Nothing better to be home fed and showered by 6:00 pm get a early start on chasing the wife.

[@TJCarpentryServices]

Me and one employee frame and sheath a 24x24 in a 8 hour day. Those guys must of been super uncoordinated

[@agtronic]

Knucklehead number three from Quebec, Canada here. Was planning a garage build in 2020 but got laid off from Air Canada due to pandemic etc ... had the whole thing drawn out in Solidworks and had permit in hand, then materials went through the roof. I got real discouraged and it feels like life's been on pause since 2020. But seeing this has re-ignited the spark. Also, I'm realizing that it seems so easy when you watch someone else do it, but I'm sure there are lot of details you're not showing that are just second nature to you now. Thanks for sharing, I just watched the whole thing front start to finish with a few beers and it really felt like I was sitting in a lawn chair over there with you.

[@edwinheredia4305]

Dude, you gotta give yourself some credit bro. You did this by yourself You didn't Even have no type of help. You are a Beast, bro. I watched this Video all the way to the end.

[@MyDIYAdventures]

Thank you for sticking around til the end!

[@nopriors]

You are not just the "labor". You are a craftsman Very inspiring.

[@MyDIYAdventures]

Thank you!

[@user-fl3ey6pe6k]

as a carpenter myself, building a garage like this is no big deal, not to take anything away from the guy, I mean things don't get any simpler in the building trades than this. its not even a hip roof, and that's a craftsman's touch, framing a hip roof that is

[@MyDIYAdventures]

@user-fl3ey6pe6k hip roofs aren’t very difficult as long as the building isn’t out of square.

[@user-fl3ey6pe6k]

@@MyDIYAdventures it takes a carpenter to cut a hip roof, any nail pounder can set trusses. I worked in one subdivision where the builders model house had a F/U hip roof and there's one a few streets over that was blown. Naturally thing should be plumb, square and level before you start framing a roof. I've cut some pretty tricky hips in my day and i did not learn how to out of a book either, I worked with some old timers and there's a lot more to it , we framed custom houses and most of them were really chopped up and unequal pitched roofs were pretty common. there's some tricks to stepping off hip jacks, especially if you don't want to be cutting every sheet of flat board. I'm not knocking your job, I did not even watch but a couple of sec of it, I'm just saying that any competent 2 carpenters could put that garage up in 10-12 hrs or they will not be eating very well. ok, I jumped to the end of your video and I was thinking a younger guy put this up. when I say 2 guys could do it in 10 hrs, I, was thinking of what me and my partner could do in 10 hrs when we were in our prime, he's pushing daisies and I'm not far from that, so good job, have a beer on me.

[@andrewbove9112]

I build a lot of things alone, and it’s very challenging at times. Even thought of making a friend so maybe I could get help every once and awhile. But that is almost as much of a pain as just doing it myself.

[@MyDIYAdventures]

Its a huge pain! When my buddy that worked with me for 15 years left, I went through about 3 different helpers…none of them were dependable. I got sick of trying to train people, so I decided to just do it myself.

[@southstreetbarbecue7875]

Watching you take on that job by yourself is inspiring to say the least. After watching your video, I have the confidence now that with hard work, dedication, planning, and taking my time, I can absolutely hire someone else to do that so I don't have to!

[@MyDIYAdventures]

And I’ve been getting into welding! It’s the same thing as wood, it’s just a little more difficult!

3. This video is awesome! I've watched too many vids with the perfect elements and perfect materials involved but this video embodies the idea you can still get the same job done with the odds and oddball situations you can realistically run into. As a visual learner I appreciate you documenting everything you've done here brother, thank you!

Glad it was helpful!

[@jackmiller9093]

3 Nice work. I also work alone and can appreciate your knowledge and skill. Few people understand the physical endurance needed to to be a one man band.

[@MyDIYAdventures]

It can definitely be grueling sometimes!

[@Stahodad]

I built a small one car garage last year, mostly on weekends.. so when it pours rain and I had siding to put up, I put it up in the rain..lol. it turned out pretty good. 😊

[@coletrickle-km7cl]

It's really cool to see other people work the way I do...by myself. I'd love to have a garage like that in my backyard. I'd want to make it out of metal and steel tho so it'll never burn to the ground.

[@smarthome2660]

Being fit helps, but what you are doing takes brain power too, and you sir have nailed that aspect. The first home I built by myself was 24' x 32' and I was able to special order 26' long 2" x 6" but not for ceiling rafters. My home was cathedral ceiling and the 2" x 6"'s were for roof rafters 16" on center laying on top of 3- 5 1/8" x 12 1/8" Gluelams - 24' long. I got most of my materials at now closed Wolahans Lumber. It took 4 1/2 months from 4th of July to November 20th in Higgins Lake MI 1990. It cost $26,000 for 4 bedroom, 1 bath, central HVAC & vinyl siding. It appraised for $78,000. I used a skill saw, a drill and hand tools. My greatest obstacle besides getting the 3 - 700lb beams up, was build 2 sheer walls 9 1/2' high on top of an 8' high wall to support the beams on the gable ends, using 5/8" 5 ply, by my self. Beam heights = 33", 5 1/2' & 9 1/2' above the top plate. Ridge is set back 8' from the front with a 5 1/2-12 pitch in front & 9 1/2-12 in the back (loft). Looking at the front, right 1/2 had a walk out bay window & left had a 12' x 8' screen porch and a 45 degree door in the corner opening up to a Kitchen/Livingroom and showcasing the loft staircase. From the foot of the stairs to the bay window was 22'. Designed on a Commodore 64, in a camper. I had a neighbor help me lift the 6 sheets of sheetrock 4' x 12' x 5/8"between the beams on the ceiling. I built a temp floor and used ladders, then added beaded stock and varnished beams and beaded, then removed temp floor. 32 years ago & I remember like it was yesterday.

[@MyDIYAdventures]

That’s one heck of a project you took on, that’s definitely something to be proud of! And I know where Higgins Lake is, I’ve been Jeeping near there!

[@bobojames8978]

35 years of framing and I’m simply amazed at your incredible craftsmanship. Your skills are unparalleled. Until now I thought building a garage by myself was impossible. You have lifted the veil of uncertainty and propelled my career into a trajectory that will most assuredly make my family more successful. The way you stand walls is pure art. I don’t know where you came up with your genius level methods but I sir salute your efforts.

[@MyDIYAdventures]

Well, I’ve literally built hundreds of garages over the years, and probably at least 30 garages and additions alone now…I’m finally starting to figure out how to do it efficiently 👍

[@clayjones553]

😳

[@davidwilken3584]

You should, if you haven’t already, check out Ken’s Carpentry. He builds his walls in his shop and trailers them to the job site. He very efficient and his walls fit every time.

[@MyDIYAdventures]

Ken’s a showoff!😂

[@Workin_roadtrip]

Why don’t your rafters sit on top of your studs? You need to carry roof load to the footings…… not sure if I’d hire you….

[@rafaelrivera9508]

Wow what a beautiful home.. congrats Christian. U can finally see it coming together...

[@thisisliving4261]

Salute to you!!! I'm a DIY person and now with all the jobs I've done for myself and others I realize I can build an entire house. Not by myself but I could eliminate the contractors fees and save tons of money. I'm looking to move and do some new work indeed.

[@fflphotos4362]

3. Very nice job! I just finished a 10 X 12 shed in Estes Park, Colorado with 12/12 roof. Did all the work except for pouring concrete and little framing help to get the walls in place. My Dad told me NEVER to shingle but in spite of the roof steepness wasn't too bad. Looking at a garage with similar to your dimensions. Lost 10 pounds during summer on the shed project. With have to eat more for the garage. I am 78 years old and still cooking. Enjoyed your commentary. Pat

[@MyDIYAdventures]

That’s awesome! I hope I’m still cooking at 78!

[@wmason1961]

I am 62. Being 78 and building anything is probably a challenge. Keep it up. It'll keep you young. Now I just need the energy to take my own advice.

Thanks! And I dare say you did good as well!👍

[@josephgramling2607]

Took 2 guys over 100 days to build my small 8x14ish porch this summer (supposed to take 10 work days). Wish there were more guys like you around.

[@MyDIYAdventures]

100 days sounds ridiculous!

[@josephgramling2607]

@david-ow3nv They would work 2 or 3 hours, then leave. Not show up for a week at a time, always had some reason for not being there or needing to leave at lunch. Just hard to find people that do what they promise.

I love watching you do these builds. Very inspirational, creatively. I used to work for my cousin's construction business years ago and i liked it when he sent me out to do something by myself. Nothing on this scale, of course. It felt somewhat therapeutic working alone.

[@MyDIYAdventures]

I had a crew for years, but I enjoy working alone way more!

[@killface1]

It's awesome working for yourself by yourself. The only downside, in my experience, is I started talking to myself so much that anyone within earshot thought I was a nutcase. Though the jury is still on that one, I started taking my dog Rufus to work with me everyday. I no longer talk to myself. And now I can have whole conversations with an 80lb Rottweiler and nobody bats an eye. Lol. That's a good boy, Rufus!

I watched a guy in my neighborhood do this himself last year over the span of a few months.

#3. I built a similar garage about 22 years ago now, only with prefabbed trusses. Funny thing was I got it covered in OSB and put a quick coat of paint on it, until I could side it in Spring. Well, 5 years later it still didn't have siding on it yet. I sold the place and 17 years later that garage is still up, with out siding and not even another coat of paint ! OSB is crazy stuff. BTW, great job and thanks for the vid. 👍

[@melvingray5707]

I built alone myself in many cases, it take more time to complete but I know when it's don't it's correct, I noticed that a few code that you have are different than were I live, but that is to be expected, even though it is allowed I will not use OSB on my major projects, It's ok but what I seen turned me off, I still use 1/2" 5/8" and 3/4" CDX sides 1/2" and roof 5/8" - 3/4" the prices are insane but here's why? I've witness the real test, and OSB failed against CDX, I do like the way you Build as a one man crew mainly because you and I are a lot alike working by ourselves, some people questions why do I still use the old method installing wind bracing, 1"X"6 stretching from top plate to bottom plate, my answer is always the same, It' much stronger! also I install all plywood side ways on the walls except for the corners where I install them long ways, when we do it ourselves we get it done the way we prefer, you did a very nice job and kudos to you, I have only one concern in your case, those Tall trees in a bad storm looks a bit scary. Hey, sometime working this way can get to ya a bit, buy still we love it!.......... by the way you're a pretty cool Knucklehead, because I wouldn't dare start this job in January! I would have waited until Spring, cold and I don't get along. keep it up Tuff-Guy

Have built several similar to this. 1) trusses are your friends 2) scaffolding on wheels is a VERY good friend.

Trusses cost more and limit storage space, and scaffold is difficult to move around with all the cross bracing in the garage.

[@mikewatson4644]

#3 Nice build. I built a 36 x 32 x 10 garage while working a full time job. Only help I had was with the concrete and setting the trusses in place. My wife helped hold some things while I nailed. She and my son-in-law handed me insulation and steel sheeting for the roof. I put in every nail and screw in the entire building. LP Smart Side for walls, steel for roof. Plans and materials from Menard's. I sure spent a lot more time doing it than you did on this project. Lot of satisfaction to look at it finished. Have watched several of you builds.

Your back wall may have bowed out when you set the diagonal brace on the ridge. Look back on you video if you care. Nice thing about wood is you can usually straighten things out like you did if it isn't too bad. This video brings back fond memories of when I used to be able to do this stuff.

Thanks! Yeah, places like California has way different building requirements then the Midwest does!

[@dustindircks6647]

You did a fantastic job. I’m a roofer that sees lots of hack framers. Your work is great! You did exactly what you were hired to do and did a quality job.

[@MyDIYAdventures]

Thanks!

[@ericfietz1849]

3! I enjoyed the video, in the middle of January, you da man!

[@MyDIYAdventures]

Glad you enjoyed!

when i lift walls solo i do 16 ft sections 3 sheets centered . with kick out braces and a swivel stick into the headers when off centered .... or lift sawhorse height piched into the j bolts and reach back and slide the horse centered and let hold it ..align the bottom plate with j bolt holes and ratchet strap off your ladder rack sideways .i use those 3 inch wide ones from home depot ..left right list right thats with two straps spread wide and yes the wind has grab one before and my truck being close saved it.. if your working alone i can not tell you how handy one of them remote winches from harbor frieght saves my ass. i set beams roll trusses move lumber piles , awe your right about your cut and stack rafters for a garage !!!listen people its not a livable dwelling stop with code call outs .and im on scaffolding solo all the time it sucks .you have to have everything planned slack in your hose extra nails boards leaned up level hanging close and when you start going good your phone rings .and doing soffit it always rains or is windy and its worse than hanging lid thats inside on level floor

[@MyDIYAdventures]

I can tell you’ve been building for awhile!👍👍👍

[@toolsntruck941]

Turned down the office jobs to stay in the field ..I will be doing this till they pour a slab over me and turn me into a fossil. Nobody flys the peak anymore .Craftsman are dying cut and stack replaced with trusses and nobody cuts there own stairs and even fewer can do arches and dome or frame radius walls ..that's ok supply and demand never thought custom framers were going to be rare .nobody .now in there forties and late 30s are out there just us old guys and real young guys on phone all day ?that is my rant ? I'm just a novice to you tube and getting a channel going but client after client keep telling me too . Geez I never wanted a desk job and I type with two fingers

[@MyDIYAdventures]

My buddy worked with me for 15 years, he’s a good carpenter and we made a pretty good team. Unfortunately he quit to be a carpenter for a local hospital’s maintenance crew. The help I was left after that sucked, so I got rid of them and work alone now LOL

[@DixieNormous1]

What state are you in? Reminds me Indiana this year,wet and above normal temps.Just finished a big pole barn lean too and it was cold and wet,this week 67* one day for the high. I also have a Bosch Bulldog,great SDS! Use my Milwaukee cordless more but had the Bosch for years.

[@MyDIYAdventures]

I’m not in Indiana, but I am in the Midwest!

[@Wrexhavik]

I like your work, and honest about everything you did.

[@MyDIYAdventures]

Thanks!

[@emjoneshouseDIY]

this dude is a straight machine. i salute you sir

[@MyDIYAdventures]

Haha, thanks! This machine is getting old and broken though!

[@christophedelepaut6398]

Bonjour, très beau travail. Chez moi en Belgique les panneaux OSB sont avec des rainures languettes. 👍👍🇧🇪🤝🇺🇸

[@MyDIYAdventures]

We do have tongue and groove here also, it’s mainly used for subfloors. 👍👍🇺🇸👍👍

[@bruce2104]

Any body who hasent framed in january has no place saying anything anyway.

[@MyDIYAdventures]

Haha! Agreed!

[@MrSrtman18]

Nobody has any business saying shit. I think it looks great. I learned some tricks and tips along the way. Thanks!

[@bobojames8978]

I’ve been framing through the winter for 35 years. What surprises me is when a homeowner builds his own garage it’s some amazing accomplishment 😂😂😂

[@matthewthompson7012]

A cold and wet January at that. No thanks.

[@bmwsnow641]

I wouldn’t recommend framing in January in Canada but where you are it’s perfect!

[@philcarpenter809]

3. . Yeah I sat thru all of this. Thinking of doing a DIY of some sort in the next year or so. Thanks

[@MyDIYAdventures]

Thanks for watching the whole thing!

[@NITSUD89]

For one guy, a week battling the elements,... I would say you did a fantastic job! Framing is the one career in physical labor i have not yet tried, but seeing this economy, i may be building my own structures. Great job!!

[@MyDIYAdventures]

Thanks!

[@user-dn5mi4ib1r]

Enjoyed watching you working in the snow, from Malaysia, 3

[@MyDIYAdventures]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@user-dj1zv2cs1t]

[@MyDIYAdventures]

[@MrKennyhall]

[@christimm394]

[@MyDIYAdventures]

Thanks

[@marcouellette9108]

Nicely done! Thanks for taking me along! Ohh and i could be considered one of the three. Stuck around till the end!

[@MyDIYAdventures]

Thanks for hanging in there til the end!

[@simonpetermurrell]

Whenever you speed up your videos, it sounds like an F1 race track if you listen carefully. Keep up the great content! You make things look so simple and you break everything down properly!

[@MyDIYAdventures]

It’s that dang compressor! Video this Saturday has some music instead of F1 lol

[@mjparismriva909]

Great video . thanks for share you knowledge

[@OMACMedicFiveZero]

Wish i could have liked this 3 times... great build. Inspiring me to get mine built

[@MyDIYAdventures]

Thanks 👍

[@jakobrebeki]

Number 3 and yes I did enjoy watching it. Thanks for posting....

[@MyDIYAdventures]

Thanks for watching!

[@Billothy69]

This is super inspiring to see you build by yourself. I'm a young guy and not a homeowner yet, but hopefully I will be some day and this is the kind of thing I wanna do, so it's awesome to see you build it by yourself because it makes me feel like I could too. Also #3

[@mikefeddersen2476]

My dad's cousin built a garage, then his wife and their 3 kids lived in it for 2 years while they built the house. Paid for it as he went a long.

[@Billothy69]

@@mikefeddersen2476 nice

[@MyDIYAdventures]

@mikefeddersen2476 I’d like to do something similar on some acreage someday

[@kidkane229]
