Framing the roof $1200 for a small affordable house

MC, I just want to let you know that I admire you’re integrity. The world we live in today lack men with integrity, so it’s a absolute breath of fresh air when I come in contact with one. God bless you.

[@MigraineCraftsman]

Thank you for the kind words I appreciate them.

[@scorpio6587]

Indeed

[@susanr5546]

It is so good that you framed your roof so your neighbor would still have decent views, such consideration. I also love a smaller size home.

[@tomswinburn1778]

Gotta say I'm impressed with your dedication to VALUE for the money people spend on your homes. 40+ years in the air conditioning business few have as much appreciation as I for ductless mini-splits. As well as going overboard on insulation. Comfort as well as savings are both improved. Your framing crew is great. Taking the time to aquare, level and plumb, ESPECIALLY working with today's lumber can't be overstated. I much prefer pier and beam rather than slab foundations but ONLY because of where I live and the soil conditions. If I lived in an area with stable soil slabs would be a no brainer. The four on twelve pitch many harangue you about is more than enough in low or no snowfall areas. Love your work man. I only did residential A/C for about ten years, then moved on to commercial. And went pretty much into service rather than installation. BUT!! If the job is put in right the savings in utility bills and repair are beyond belief. Sloppy work costs BIG money. Sadly that cost falls on the buyer, not the builder, so your level of attenton to detail is appreciated. Videos are great. Keep em up.

[@MigraineCraftsman]

Thank you, I talked to many inspectors of what is best for this area so I am following their advice on how to put things together here in this climate.

We admire your videos. Do you recommend joist hangers for roof trusses? Also can you recommend cost effective cordless nail gun?

[@MigraineCraftsman]

I like screws for my trusses or rafters, once you put those suckers in, you gotta solid roof. As for a nail gun (corded) there is many good ones, but the best cost effective way to get one is from a pawn shop and can scoop them up for less then $50 bucks. Cordless you dont see too many in the pawn shops so go with paslode they are most common and they work fine.

@7:40 in the video, I'm wondering what I'm missing. Because half of the roof rafters seem to be sitting on the top plate (the part with the open ceilings. And then the other half seem to be sitting on top of some 2x10s or 2x8s (the portion with regular height ceilings and a crawl space above) yet the roof rafters are all in alignment. Isn't the siding on the portion with the extra 2x8 going to go up an exra 8-10" before it meets roofline vs the other half of the roof? Also how do the rafters tie into the ridgebeam? i didn't see any straps or anything just saw the guys with the passloads which I know don't shoot a 16d nail.

[@MigraineCraftsman]

The vaulted rafters sit on the double top plate, they are cut at an angle and are nailed in place at the ridge beam and nailed at the top plate. (later screwed in with truss screws) Same goes for the flat ceiling area what you see is another way to bring all lumber (different dimensions) into one continous run. 40 years of experience from the main framing guy he does magic sometimes. You also can see blocking between all rafters, I absolutelly love that, not all framers do that, he does.

I would stay away from flat roofs too much to worry about and those have to be done flawless to make sure they work right. Shed roof is very cost effective, if you have a narrow structure you can just run one 2 by 12 the length of your house. $20 to 30$ each, thats a pretty fair price.
