I love your steel gusset plates, really great build. looking forward to the next video.

[@11ej]

Great work, I wish the clip was longer. I enjoyed watching it.❤❤❤

[@gustonzimasheen]

Great video, loved the work going into your build. Really good camera and editing work too. Thanks for sharing.

[@Hillbilly007-yd9gu]

Looking Good. Great Video.

[@Mainelyoffgrid]

Wow. Beauty of a build!!! Nice work. Subscribed

[@Teetles_807]

What a cool system of working together you guys have. A well oiled machine

[@brady_morgan]

Thanks! First time building with this structural kit. Its a little different but once we got the process down it wasnt too bad.

[@Teetles_807]

@ watching the “A” going up was fascinating

[@Robert-zj8fz]

So I'm wondering what is the angle you chose for the diagonals? And what is the distance between the floor and ceiling joist?

[@brady_morgan]

60 degree roof slope, comes to something like a 21:12 pitch. 8' ceiling height.

[@MUDNROCKS]

Holy crap thats a strong frame, am I seeing things, are those collar ties checked in under the steel plates too ?

[@brady_morgan]

Yup, steel plates at basically every connection, and all solid LVL. Strong only begins to describe it.

[@moyceopstal]

Good job, is it a kit a frame house? 👍🏽

[@brady_morgan]

The structural framing came as a kit. Everything else including interior framing is traditional material and framing.

[@StillEarthBound7]

Ah smart move on the trusses, just pull um up and use the scaffolding. 49 years as a builder, I just want to build oneeee more, but 70 years old.

[@rixtrix11]

Go for it! Built my first building at 70, a 24x32x10 workshop with an 8/12 roof, all by myself.

[@Teetles_807]

Curious- why didn’t you stagger the boards. Thought that was standard good practice

[@brady_morgan]

Stagger which boards? Im not sure what youre referring to.

[@Teetles_807]

@ the floor boards.

[@brady_morgan]

The Advantech sheets for the subfloor are staggered.. Every other row starts with a half sheet.

[@davidbiggs7792]

Nice progress Brady! Is the home a 120 or 150?

[@brady_morgan]

This is a 120.

[@parttime9070]

Good work.. Incredible waste of space..

[@brady_morgan]

Depends on your definition of "waste" I suppose. People like the aesthetic of an A-frame, which can increase bookings and make you more money as a vacation rental if you choose to go that route. Not to mention its a great structural design in areas with high snow load. However, if your ONLY concern is efficiently building usable square footage, then I suppose you could consider it somewhat of a waste.

@@brady_morgan Years ago I lived in one , it had no pony walls so living in a triangle felt kind of weird .

[@brady_morgan]

@@parttime9070 Yeah that makes sense. I imagine I would find it difficult to live in one myslef, however as a place to stay for a weekend in the mountains, I doubt I would mind too much.

[@MUDNROCKS]

@@parttime9070 Funny you say that, my father worked in Africa on mines for a few years as an engineer, in some places lived in round huts, he reckoned it messed with your head and found it quite disconcerting also said he couldn't get used to it. Oddly a round hut wastes considerable space too.
