Love this!

Yes! What a good feeling

[@timmiller9666]

I’m doing a very similar project, it’s insane the money you save by being your own builder. Looks great!

[@DudeWeCanBuildIt]

You betcha! It's a lot of work but definitely worth it!

[@patrickmcclintock7027]

I’m about to be doing this soon. Building is going up today and I’ll be doing the windows and doors myself after. Albeit brief the section on putting in a door was helpful. It’s simpler than I thought.

[@DudeWeCanBuildIt]

That’s amazing to hear! Send us some pics on Facebook or instagram once it’s up we’d love to see it. We also just added blue prints and receipts in our description if you need anymore references. Thank you for watching and supporting!

[@Frankengruvin]

at the 0:12 mark, some numbers appear on the screen when you say the word "dimensions." Those numbers are: 1920x1080. What does that represent? I crunched some numbers assuming they were inches and it came out to 14,400 sq ft. Then I assumed they were centimeters and that came out to roughly 207 sq m or 2,228 sq ft, which seems more realistic, but you keep saying 1500 sq ft, or 30x50 in one comment. Which is it? What part of the structural footprint is "shop?"

[@DudeWeCanBuildIt]

1920 X 1080 is a common video resolution. It refers to how many pixels are in a single frame. It's an Easter egg that we left in there for fun, it has nothing to do with the dimensions of the house. There is no shop part of my house. I will be adding a detached shop later on

[@KarenJFrey]

Cool shots. Nicely done guys!

[@DudeWeCanBuildIt]

Thank you!

[@ZH4317]

Wow. This is cleaner and quicker than bricks, cement and water building structures. I just wish you guys were wearing safety boots and gloves. Metal cuts.

[@DudeWeCanBuildIt]

We were trying to get everything done as fast as possible so we weren't always wearing all the safety gear.

[@charlesclawson4998]

Where did you get your metal shell, I’m having a hard time finding tube steel building suppliers

[@DudeWeCanBuildIt]

Safeguard metal building. What state do you live in?

[@Cave_man_chuck]

What company did you use for the steel building purchase

[@DudeWeCanBuildIt]

Safeguard metal buildings out of Texas. I would recommend finding a different company because their warranty sucks

[@FatigueZ]

I like the guy doing construction in heydudes

[@DudeWeCanBuildIt]

We did too! He made the whole show move super smoothly.

[@UeberGoonProductions]

I do have a legit question(no hate). When they raise the walls using the block to make sure it is at the correct height, then place two screws in, those two screw are literally holding the weight of the roof and walls? Or did they go back and put bolts or something in?

[@DudeWeCanBuildIt]

They came back and added two more screws to each leg. So, a total of 4 screws for each leg. It seems like they would put bolts through each leg, however, it's an engineer stamped building and that's how they want it.

[@COVolcom]

I've got the same exact metal building and I never once though about that. But you're right, if they have to raise that stud to get it to the correct height, all the weight of that section is on those screws.

[@kentuckyken]

Think about it this way ... After completion you've got all of the exterior "skin" and all those screws holding up all of the building plus all other wall studs carrying the weight (and interior wall materials).

[@greatcars4-sale]

Wow GREAT VIDEO I SUBSCRIBED..................... VERY INFORMATIVE

[@DudeWeCanBuildIt]

Thanks for the sub!

[@5PointSlow]

Thanks for the video! What size is the metal building? And do you have a floor plan available?

[@DudeWeCanBuildIt]

The building is 30'x50'. I do have a floor plan, I'll have to figure out how to link it to a comment.

[@5PointSlow]

@DudeWeCanBuildIt yes, please do, and thanks!

[@charlieciernia9189]

Were you able to post you plans? I’m in the information gathering stages to see if this is possible to do here near Albuquerque. Did you have architectural or engineered plans created? ​@@DudeWeCanBuildIt

[@charlieciernia9189]

This looks great! Did you have to tell them about the brick ledge when you ordered the building? Also, could they have framed all of your other windows?

[@DudeWeCanBuildIt]

Yes, I informed them of the brick ledge beforehand. I would definitely opt to have them put the windows in next time. You provide the windows and they provide the "frame out". Something I learned after the process

[@greatcars4-sale]

Where did you buy the building kit? Really curious to see how wide you can go with that truss style.

[@DudeWeCanBuildIt]

Safeguard metal buildings 30' is the max width for this building.

[@s3xiibiishliyah]

What company you ordered it from

[@DudeWeCanBuildIt]

Safeguard metal buildings

[@JimmyMartin34]

do you mind dropping the link to the barndo kit you used?

[@DudeWeCanBuildIt]

You can email [e-mail], they are familiar with this build

[@OhhIronyy]

Did not going with vertical sides help with framing the inside later on?

[@DudeWeCanBuildIt]

The direction of the metal siding does not have an effect on framing the inside.

[@dannmorris3465]

Why not wet-set the anchor bolts

[@DudeWeCanBuildIt]

I would have preferred to wet set the anchor bolts, however, the manufacturer did not want me to do that. They supply and install their own anchor bolts.

[@daviddeen853]

Nice. I have been looking at ideas for our future home for awhile and I keep coming back to do this our selves. Question though, if you have to frame the inside why buy a metal building kit? Would it be cheaper to just side the outside with OSB and tin and skip the steel studs? Thank you.

[@DudeWeCanBuildIt]

There are a lot of variables, however, the metal building kit was quite cheap and provided the entire dried-in structure. By the time you price in exterior sheathing, roof trusses and supporting structures, along with your roofing deck and materials, the metal building makes a lot of sense.

[@charlieciernia9189]

Did you get the 12 or 14 gauge metal?

[@DudeWeCanBuildIt]

14 gauge

[@scottsiler694]

Great job, say can you tell me where to buy the framing hardware? How much was the plans and permit fees. Thank you for you input. Have a great day.

[@DudeWeCanBuildIt]

I purchased the building from safeguard metal buildings. They provided the materials and labor to assemble the metal building. They also provided the engineered plans for the permit office. The building was $15,500 Permits were around $400

[@maxbar4166]

1920x1080 got me! 😂😂😂

[@DudeWeCanBuildIt]

Nothing we can do about it now 😂

[@mastercrafted09]

Is this a building kit? who manufactures it?

[@DudeWeCanBuildIt]

You can order a square tube building as a kit to put together yourself or with install included. Versatube is the name brand manufacturer, they are expensive. There are many other manufacturers, I used Safeguard Metal Buildings

[@landonschropp665]

Using 1920 ft by 1080 ft (the same resolution as 1080p) cant be a coincidence, right? 😉

[@DudeWeCanBuildIt]

You saw nothing 😂

[@FLORIDIANMILLIONAIRE]

Where can i get these guys from the game Army of 2 complete with Mexican bandanas !

[@DudeWeCanBuildIt]

The metal building company supplies the install crew

[@jrblack78]

What kit is this?

[@DudeWeCanBuildIt]

It's a tubular metal building from safeguard with a wind rating of 150mph.

[@anthonykohout9222]

Pregunta: Why are you installing the siding sheets top first? The lap where the underneath sheet sits on top of the upper piece will be susceptible to obvious water coming in as the rain roles down the building wall. Are you able to slip the underneath piece behind the top piece?

[@DudeWeCanBuildIt]

Yes, we are able to slip the sheet underneath and then install the remaining screws

[@lizas.5981]

You can build for us the same kind you built there? Our location west AL.

[@DudeWeCanBuildIt]

I'm not a builder, so I can only build for myself as a homeowner

[@KrustyKlown]

5:45 a couple small self tapping screws are carrying the weight of your building??? That can't MEET CODE ??? Put one or two 3/8" or 1/2" bolts through there to carry the load.

[@DudeWeCanBuildIt]

It is an engineer stamped building, however, bolts would definitely be sturdier!

[@joshstane5926]

This was a 62x35 in standard dimensions?

[@DudeWeCanBuildIt]

30x50

[@paulbetka6477]

[@mister_em]

where is the insulation?

[@DudeWeCanBuildIt]

@@mister_em in the next video

[@jtaustinmusic]

So, no vapor barrier between the concrete and your base plate? Why not? That's elementary

[@DudeWeCanBuildIt]

Open and close cell spray foamed the whole inside

[@rogerkern]

They just build stuff. Not correctly just built

[@raynelson3404]

I suggested a bead of silicone under the base rail to prevent water intrusion. I had to seal mine after the fact due to imperfections in the concrete.

[@CATario15]

I was wondering where that building came from? Almost looks like a versatube (not trying to be offensive just inquisitive)

[@DudeWeCanBuildIt]

Yes, it is the same style building as a versatube.

[@martindekker8203]

Looks good but also very weak. For a shed yes maybe but for a home no. I wouldn't feel safe in it.

[@DudeWeCanBuildIt]

Is that an opinion or a fact that it’s weak? It’s wind rated for 150mph. Our other videos show building the frame work for the inside and building the rest of the building. It’s pretty sturdy you should consider looking into it a little more.

[@martindekker8203]

@@DudeWeCanBuildIt Just my opinion from what I've seen so far. I can't believe that the posts are only held in by 4 tack screws. they don't have a very good sheer factor I would think. I'd get it all checked by an engineer.

[@DudeWeCanBuildIt]

The building is an engineered and stamped building. The structure is not load bearing, that is why we framed out the inside which adds strength

[@Nickporter17]

Dang those builders dgaf

[@DudeWeCanBuildIt]

What point of the video makes you think that? These guys were amazing. Worked quick and precise. Made off the cuff changes when asked. We don’t have a bad word to say about them. If you’re talking about the cuts I can see where it would look that way but when stuff is getting covered with trim you don’t need straight edge machine looking cuts. And we are not affiliated with these people at all. So whatever we say about them is our genuine opinion

[@Nickporter17]

@@DudeWeCanBuildIt mostly the way none of the fasteners were put in square. Also the Sanuks 😂. But I don't mean to be critical. It sounds like the build turned out nice. And as long as you're happy with it.

No offense, but your channel name is a lot misleading. I was prepared to see "you" build a house, not a metal building crew.

Quality of workmanship looks poor. They keep up the cool lethargic attitude and home they would go if it were my project. Do like your vid and build just noticed the not so good labor…

[@DudeWeCanBuildIt]

I appreciate the feedback

[@greatcars4-sale]

Ouch the first anchor was NOT LONG ENOUGH, or he had to back out the nut more but your not supposed to hammer down the nut until it puts pressure on bar?????? TERRIBLE

[@DudeWeCanBuildIt]

I don't think you are understanding the anchor type they are using. The drill bit is longer than the anchor so that it won't bottom out in the hole. When the nut is tightened, the nodule on the end expands the sleeve to make compression.
