How to Build A Garage #2 Lasers and Columns

In this video I attempt to show you how we determine grade and efficiently and accurately prep our columns for building. The use of a story pole is key, as well as correctly identifying grade on every bracket. I broke this video up into 2 separate videos due to the time length crossing over 30 minutes.

For me, the ideas in kzbin.infoUgkxAfqpMLyFn37qcqUl0FAzqkkycQeXqrhP Plans were a starting point for building different sheds . Ryan gives ideas that allow an individual to draw nicest conclusions into the design and building of his or her own shed.

This is SPAM, right?

[@frazer26]

What makes this more remarkable is that you do it all in inches. You lost me at 11/16ths. I’d have to use metric but it’s what your taught. Like this format of video

[@RRBuildings]

lol

[@KSmith20053]

I’ve never watched a video with so much detail and explanations of what is going on for every little step. How cool, thanks for all the info and help. 💥🔥

[@gwharton68]

Its nice seeing you guys working without your cold weather gear.

[@RRBuildings]

gwharton68 you’re telling me

[@Ty1on3twelve]

I'm watching this again for the fourth, fifth or sixth time. This was my first build series when I stumbled onto the channel and I've been a fan ever since. Today is 05/13/2023 and it's just past 10:00pm cst.

[@dannylogan7918]

Can't take credit for this but a lot sheet metal people around here predrill holes in sheet metal so there screw lines are always straight. They'll stack it about a inch thick making sure bottom is even before drilling. Y'all do awesome work.

[@levisoriano1]

I go through my KZbin channels I never skip your videos. Thanks for sharing.

[@raghur1125]

Best explainaitory video I have ever watched.

[@edarden4u]

Stayed up to watch the whole thing. Kept my attention. Couldn't be better.

[@gunnerr7109]

I watch alot of your videos. Love them. All of the tips you give are the truth and i do this also but do concrete with a laser and its great having a laser. and what we say when someone gets in front of the laser is "Your daddy wasn't a glass maker boy , move." LOL gets me everytime

[@mandosandradios]

Excellent Presentation

[@bruce-le-smith]

I agree that a little tidiness, transparency and logic is a huge part of building trust and therefore sales. When I'm driving around town and I see a job site like that I note down the company name. If I find videos like this, then it's a no brainer to hire them. So not only is it good for the current client and their word of mouth marketing, but also for the neighbours and people driving by. Totally subscribing to this channel, really appreciate the good content!

[@RRBuildings]

thank you

[@mikeyb5612]

I'm totally using that hammer claw trick for the metal strapping next time I have to lol! I'm going to act like I've done it before too :P

[@mr.fr0zak416]

Bruh I'm building a 8 x 12 shed. I watched your videos and got all hyped up and went out there to start construction. Fuck off for making this look so easy. Nice work.

[@brentfarrow8125]

[@JD-ft2lr]

Recently found your channel. Have watched several videos and will view more and repeat. I plan to build a similar size shop but have never taken on anything like this but am not totally green either. The story board seems essential for consistancy but i get lost in the details. Ill get it but will take some study

[@lylepayne7162]

[@bigTHOR77]

[@WelshRabbit]

The crazy fractional measurements are SO much easier using millimeters/centimeters. I used to loathe metric, but now I'm hooked. I'll never go back to "English" (aka "Imperial").

[@douglasbarnes3506]

Damn Bro, Wish you were building that in my yard.

Personal observation and opinion (likely not shared by some), that it's a pleasure to see a man without horrendous tattoos all over the place. Think for yourself. Congrats.

[@MrRyancangri]

Freaking genius, bro!!!

[@emaildavidlehman]

Nice work, Popeye!

[@zifnab6824]

you forgot the most important reason you do all the marking and cutting on the ground, the product ends up being better. More consistent cuts because its safer, not worrying about ladders/ swaying equipment etc.

[@RRBuildings]

Zifnab exactly

[@JustinWalker951]

This dude is building the shit out of this garage

[@rickclaypool8737]

Where can i get the supports you use on the posts that are set in concrete....? Awesome video's by the way.

[@guitarz-wk3sn]

You sir, are a badass!

[@DanielSagady]

Love you're videos. Putting plans together for a 33x48x14 post frame garage. I have a story board question. When setting up your story board for a 12 foot high ceiling (bottom of trusses), you measure 12ft from the bottom of the story board, which is the 'grade' reference. However that datum is about 1-1/2in above the top of the cement pier. Since the top of finish floor is about 6in above the cement pier, that puts the ceiling height to the finished floor less than 12ft, or about 11' 7-1/2". If I want a 12ft ceiling to finished floor, then shouldn't my story board distance to ceiling be 12' 4-1/2"? Thanks.... Dan

[@scottosborne6848]

You obviously know what you are doing but I never have any idea what you are talking about! However, I do enjoy your videos.

[@Fabian7024]

I love this channel dude, learning so much. Whats that laser you use called?

[@LewisRenovation]

If the post lumber is milled less than 1 1/2 thick, how do you make the truss fit in the center?

[@RRBuildings]

Lewis Renovation great question. Ohio timberland has some way of making that pocket big enough for a truss. They are snug tho

[@ShainAndrews]

I assume they mill the posts after they are assembled, so the center never changes dimension, only the outside?

[@billh1471]

Shain Andrews-- What you say makes more sense but think he said they mill the 2x6`s before gluing them.

[@danlott71]

If you pause the video at 3:12 it looks like the center board is 1 1/2 inches thick, while the outer boards are 1 3/8 inches thick. I would guess they mill the posts after they are glued together.

[@chefgiovanni]

Good video, lots to learn here. Where is the fine garage located ?

[@randygerman2176]

It looks like there is some serious twist in the post that I would not have expected. Is there any problems associated with this that we should know about? Thank you for all you do! I feel like I’m attending a tech school.

ever thought of joining the rest of the world and use the metric system lol I enjoyed it

[@richardmcelroy6574]

Lol your math is funny shit. You know your numbers and what they mean and how and where they apply and to speak it out would take longer you have, have you running a tangent and possibly having you 2nd guess yourself. Good work. Also appreciate the measure 2x method although you didn't directly state it. ??? How did the bracket come to being about an inch off it everything was level

[@jimmyfavereau]

eXcellent vid thanks !

[@AlwaysHopeful87]

Could you do a follow up on the story pole. Maybe with a drawing on a white board including the grade, bracket, grade girt, wainscot, soffet nailer, truss and overhang. I've watched that segment several times and I'm still lost. I've also watched the SP short video and it didn't help. Tx. I know these seems very basic for a seasoned PF builder, but I have no experience in this area.

[@RRBuildings]

I will work on that

[@AlwaysHopeful87]

I am wanting to build a 24x30 2 9 foot wide doors on 30 foot side but also the trusses running the 24 foot. Wanting your opinion on how to frame that side with the doors since practically all of the trusses would be setting on a header board

Could you of used the laser level on the post straps when putting them in the concrete and have only one measurement?

You must Trust in your Truss.
