REMOVED FLAT CIELING AND ADDED COLLAR TIES TO GIVE MORE HEIGHT

[@squeekhobby4571]

I am still watching but want to leave a comment. Many thanks, this is exactly what I am looking for. Awesome instructions. Kudos

[@laneyparker3399]

Thank you for explaining clearly. Great video!

[@jkashj1994]

Enjoyed the information shared here about raising the ceiling. Nice quick hits as well with the framing square angles and the jig for cutting the collar ties. The difference is always in the details.

[@patricksimone1238]

Thank you,I’m glad I can help you out

[@tosharpforyou]

Great video thanks! I Remodeling my house myself. You explained everything very well.

I would like to say I really love the video man I love to watch a real Carpenter I am electrician trying to learn how to do carpenter work I've done lots of work all my life I hadn't done a whole lot of time to work but I built my garage and now I want it I'll be on to it again so I have to watch and learn love the video man keep up the good work

[@JM-lw3nx]

I never thought about doing it that way, not a full cathedral but higher is what I need. Plus, this will support your rafters and side walls.

[@HulaShack1]

Awesome video! Learned a lot!!!

[@patricksimone1238]

Hula Shack thank you Glad this helped you out

[@jayinla81]

Good shit. This is exactly what I was looking for. For months now. I just need to raise the rafter ties 3 feet to allow clearance for a 4 post car lift in my garage.

[@patricksimone1238]

Nice bro glad it helped

[@allmountain5334]

Good video! Fun to watch your process. Nice work.

[@patricksimone1238]

Thank you Much appreciated!

[@allmountain5334]

Great idea about pre-framiing those spaces for the new windows. I've never had a contractor do that. I've heard you can raise the ceiling joists on a rafter system as long as it isn't a 1/3 higher than the total existing rafter length, is there any truth to that? Nice detail work! All looks so clean. @@patricksimone1238

[@patricksimone1238]

All Mountain that is correct about ceiling,yup frame around window and you don’t have to worry about weather Thanks for watching

[@allmountain5334]

Thanks Patrick! Will look for more videos, all the best!@@patricksimone1238

[@dmsheckler]

Noob here. Can this be done on a hip roof? Also, for collar ties, can the original ceiling joists be reused (pending good condition) since they will be shorter after raising them? Would use one single new collar tie then cut the old ceiling joist out and replace the next one. I would not remove them all first! Also, I realize consulting a structural engineer is required but I'm contemplating purchasing an older cottage style house with 7' ceiling. Thanks! Great video!

[@SaabAholic]

All this ceiling stuff is ‘over my head’!

[@chrisreynolds2410]

I’d tell you about the 2nd floor addition but that’s another story.

[@lucasrayala]

Great video! Doing a little research to see if we can get our ceiling raised a foot. I was concerned because we had 2x4 rafters but that seems to be what you’re working with?

[@patricksimone1238]

Lucas Rayala hey buddy,In my case I had existing 2x8 rafters and also had engineered blueprints.you should be careful if you only have 2x4 rafters because you will be adding additional stress to them Good luck! And thanks for watching

[@SyTySpeedShop]

Raising the rafters this way, do you have to add braces down to the top sill plates? I’m renovating my living room, house was built in 1947 and has ~7.5 ceiling I’d to raise atleast a foot, maybe two. I had originally thought about doing it this way, but wasn’t sure if it displaces the load differently than having them sitting on the tops of the walls.

[@damionbrooker715]

This method transfers so much weight that WAS on the top sill plate and down to the ground NOW all that weight goes directly to the roof decking frame - not good.😬

[@punhoss]

@@damionbrooker715 That's what I was thinking.. surely this will put an outward strain on the walls? ? ?

[@supernova8962]

How much would I save doing this myself compare to a contractor like you doing this...my ceiling are all exposed already.

[@dangrimes5078]

There are plenty of videos of people raising the ceiling by modifying the trusses. My situation is different. I haven't put on the roof yet. I want to stack 2 more feet on top of my 8' Walls. I wish I could find a video about this. This is just a shed or garage.

[@gsh319]

Get a skil my man. No dogging out on those long rips!

[@GuardianAngle93]

I'll be doing this soon. I think I'll be sistering the rafters first though.

[@misterz2719]

Rookies are fun, I had a guy one time that had degrees in everything, very smart, but everytime I gave him a measurement he would cut the siding wrong, so I threw pieces of aluminum down to him to with measurements on, he still couldn't cut them to right length, so I said it isn't working out.

[@patricksimone1238]

mister z I try to be patient,but it’s so hard! And I never had the patience to teach lol

[@misterz2719]

It is hard, I usually work on my own now, kids help sometimes, but getting harder acting like I'm 20. Sometimes I wish I had a helper, not sure if the headaches and no freedom is worth another employee.

[@HulaShack1]

mister z was he a millennial? They are just handed degrees today. Dumbest generation ever!!!

[@misterz2719]

@@HulaShack1 no he wasn't, but understand what your saying , old guys are the workers.

[@wmack4552]

@@HulaShack1 Well, that is a bold statement... Talk poorly about our future generations.... or, teach them like someone most of us. It is a fact that generations have said this about the generations after them for centuries. But, somehow we are the smartest, most advanced people since recorded history, and this continues... All I know is my daughters are skilled at things I couldn't even dream of as a child.

[@arevalocobra]

Why not make the rafters into web trusses and get the full cathedral ceilings

[@patricksimone1238]

We follow the architects plans

[@michaelny6692]

Be patient... we all started from nothing! Be encouraged to want to teach... Again, we all started from somewhere

Michael NY you are absolutely right,that’s actually my brother and in 1 year he came a long way and is doing great Thanks for watching

[@gsh319]

Ahhhh Jersey! That mystery is cleared up. Make that rook rook work man. Hand him saw zeal and gun. He ain't gonna learn if he don't fuck a few things up and get on with it

[@CookieZ3353]

There's a lot of time wasted on dogging the Rookie. Just leave him be and show us how to get the cathedral ceiling done.

[@irisv1378]

What is waist of time

[@patricksimone1238]

What a waste of time… thanks for watching

[@vladtepes97]

you need to add captions or narrate over it so we can hear what you're mumbling about.

[@patricksimone1238]

Hey buddy will take it to consideration,it’s all real time filming so it’s kinda hard ,but thanks for watching!

[@HulaShack1]

Chris R maybe you should have hearing test because I heard what he is saying, just fine. He wasn’t mumbling.
