Ranch Style Garage Trusses and Sheathing

[@ralphvalkenhoff2887]

I’m 62 and watching you frame this makes me feel like I’m still able to do this. Thanks for sharing this.

[@StoneKathryn]

Wow Ken and Dan, you are amazing at putting this garage up so smoothly! That was incredible watching you. Weather coming in so you sheathed it as you went! Great job you two! It was fun to watch. Thanks for this Ken!

[@mikemcgown6362]

You took a pile of sticks and made it look like a garage! You sure know how to plan a job! 2 guys did a lot in one day! You have talent and teamwork that's hard to find. Watching you work inspires me to get out and try something. Always believed if you want to do something bad enough, you can do it with the right inspiration and preparation. Thanks for the video and bless you!

[@MrRebar15]

*Kens Karpentry* Bravo well done, thanks gentlemen for taking the time to bring us along. God Bless.

[@armidaperez5360]

You sure do ALOT of building & fast always enjoy watching how organized you are.

[@davidnelson6893]

You got it

[@josephdriscoll8527]

Hi Ken, Dan made me laugh with a 1/2 of 1/16" off, brings back job site old memories. You two got it done. thanks for sharing.

[@tc9148]

Amazing work and productivity for two guys and no lifts.

[@silvergrizzly316]

Lookin good Ken! Mr. Dan is a valuable asset to you my friend. 👍👍

[@sandravanlankvelt7975]

You were short one crew member today? You two have done a fantastic job as usual. It's exciting when the trusses and plywood goes up and my goodness it's starting to look like a garage...YIPPEEE!! God's blessings to you both. GREAT JOB!!!

[@clarencewiles963]

Green grass, and a great view all around. Thanks again for your work.

[@markfrye9178]

I live in a new subdivision; I often wondered how 1 carpenter could raise roof trusses. Ken, thanks for showing me!

[@scottk8245R]

Great work Kenny! Thanks for the construction content! Always a joy to watch👌

[@cathiwim]

Dan is one STRONG man! Great job you guys!

[@cjtink22]

Always a pleasure to watch you guys working like a fine watch. You inspire me to watch another video of you working.

[@affordabledesertliving3487]

Fantastic Ken. I am 69 and will be up and doing this very same thing. I was a tree climber for years so learned to be careful with heights etc.

[@kenskarpentry]

Wow. I worked for a tree company in Maine 45 years ago had my own spurs back then . That’s rugged work

[@robertdanis8573]

Great job! Pretty tough putting up trusses just the two of you. Thanks for the great videos.

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

Love good, hard work. I could watch it all day!

[@kenskarpentry]

Haha

[@123mjolie]

Keep tipping !!!! Awesome Both of you are some hard working men !

[@mackfisher4487]

Ken, you are perfect at backing up your trailer.

[@harolddouglas4057]

I like how you have done the window jack/cripple studs.

[@DANDY1]

Great job Ken! So as to when the schwab ethics leave the market industry is when things become realistic again! Good day!

[@bobt3374]

Well done you pro builders.

[@T.E.P..]

Great to catch up on the new vids ... hope you all are going to have a perfect weekend! thanks again

[@Charles_Sweitzer]

Hi Ken, I'm from York, PA, my mother's side of the family is from Orleans County. Great videos btw

[@jimmyjohnstone5878]

You are having fun with the drone. I am going to do the course here (UK) to get the required pilot in control licence. A friend has a drone I can have as first one, see how I get on. The garage looks good. Accuracy in measurement is key. And having skilled workers who do a proper job. Having your order book filled for many months ahead is proof of your good reputation for quality build. There is a lot of bending, lifting, and awkward position work involved. Make sure you get professional help if backache continues. Getting treatment's, or a set of stretches to do yourself, will help if done before things get too bad. Keeping your posture in a safe position when lifting or moving lumber is important. The lift of the roof trusses looked awkward but probably there wasn't that much load on you as the trusses pivoted upright. I like your explanations, such why you put sheeting on as you go...secure trusses from wind blowing them over. Hopefully you get decent weather for the rest of the build.

[@markholmes1346]

Lookin good Ken and Dan!

[@dwaynesanders2095]

Glad your back is better.

[@williamcantalamessa5231]

Good morning from Siesta Key Florida

[@Birdfarmer862]

Tough as nails, smooth as silk! Like watching a wooden symphony guys!

[@frankortolano5886]

Great camera work

[@dirckduncan7448]

Another job well done

[@andyrobinson339]

Great Job!

[@josefreck1103]

Und wieder super Arbeit 👏😁😊👍😉🤗

[@ahSteve-qm5vy]

Awesome job and great carpentry.

[@straubdavid9]

Good Friday mornin Kens Karpentry 📐🔨🪚Hope everything is going well for you and Dan on the job site. We are getting rain here in central Pennsylvania. Luckily, I don't need to do anything outside at the moment🌧 Have a very nice weekend Ken, Dan & Chad 👍✌👣

[@kendallhuseman3685]

Love watching you guys work! Im curious what a 24x40 she'll costs these days with monoslab, 14' walls and a 12x12 garage door with a single man door using t1-11 siding. Just looking for a ballpark what to expect.

[@wingman8447]

Nice and smooth. Thank you

[@Dutch779]

What's the extra piece of timber on the slope, at the overhang? On the truss. Ken. Beautiful spot, farm house at the back.

[@mauryniebur2984]

I wish I could get you to come down to Maryland and build my garage!!!

[@lmars5933]

Looking good don't you just love the easy builds ..ps..there's that weather I promise. Lol..😎

[@richardroyles1423]

How are you liking that new tool belt. God bless

[@ericjohnson1008]

Good morning y'all from south Texas.

[@randyedmisten1374]

Have question for you Ken wife wants a porch on her deck could you tell me how far do I put the rafter apart love the videos.ty

[@danielarbuckle5270]

When I built my house,barn brothers garage and neighbors barn all I had was hammer and skill saw. tools come along way

[@HanManIn]

♡♡♡

[@t.d.mich.7064]

Lookin good!

[@lotklear]

Great vid. Im apprehensive about the long term safety issues of the standing on the top plate. Can anyone offer safer alternatives?

[@boathead22000]

looking good

[@SM-xm7dt]

Won’t your truss manufacture deliver the trusses to the roof? Temp wall down the center makes install lots easier.

[@jameshorrocks2939]

Looks like you hired an ox carrying 24 foot trusses solo.

[@fastsetinthewest]

Pardner, I'm near 80 and a garage connoisseur. If I rolled around on the floor, no way I could jump back up. Hahaha. Hey, " couldn't afford ink" is our countries new norm along with a lot of morality bankruptcy. Another great video and I went to a lot of trouble to make this comment. I turned the phone on while letting the 20 minute commercial play on my 70" TV. Usually, I don't turn the phone on until noon as I get 15 to 20 Robo calls everyday showing up on the phone - I don't answer, but get tired of the rings. I don't need those kind of friends. Businessmen must go nuts in today's environment.. I've spent the last couple of days dealing with identity theft. Some dope gave a $20,000 unsecured loan out in my name at Pentagon Credit Union in another state. Didn't even have a hard inquiry. A credit rating of close to 850 gets attacked constantly. Godspeed. Eaglegards...

[@gunsandcars3648]

approx how much would you sell this build for, have several builders bidding something similar, understand its still a builders market?

[@charlesfehl1551]

Way do you put double nails on the trusses to hold down plywood. I'm not a carpenter just a 80yr old fan who likes the video. Thanks from Ohio

[@kenskarpentry]

We do about 30 nails per 8’ sheet of plywood

[@wellwornpast]

How do you put the trusses in when you get toward the other side? It would seem there is no room to swing them up when you get to the end.

[@kenskarpentry]

We tip up the last 3 regular trusses and tack them against the last regular truss we put up. Then we slide them over one by one.

[@isnoo1]

Wondering if you could assist me with a building project in Australia???????..............

[@WarpFactor999]

Hi Ken! The two of you throw up the siding and half the roof amazingly quick. I wonder what you do in your spare time? 😀 Thanks for bringing us along good sir! Cheers from Texas!

[@frankwise7464]

Good job Ken. Difficult with two people but you managed. Hope Chad is ok. ( Is his back hurt again?)

[@longterm9017]

The audio quality is very good on this video. What Mike are you using ?????

[@michaelc.3812]

Ken, where’s your ladder joist?

[@Flowing23]

👍👍

[@rightlanehog3151]

Ken, Have you considered investing in a stronger drone that can hoist trusses? 😉

[@christopherbrooks5206]

How do you space your trusses? What’s the best method to secure trusses to the double sill plate? Thanks

[@kenskarpentry]

They’re spaced 24” apart and nailed

[@buelnarg]

Does it not make more sense nail braces on the exterior wall rather then on the truss ?

[@paule.dutelleco.inc.2547]

ken.. what type of drone are you using?

[@jefflink4671]

No one can appreciate the efficiency of that framing. I can, done it. Until one has done quite a few does it become second nature. Almost fun then.

[@barriesmith3489]

How much dose a sheet of ply weigh

[@bobschallalcs584]

what is the flying range of your drone and what type/ name brand

[@larryboyle590]

I think someone above was looking out for you when Dan was sent your way.

[@Mretinum]

Is there some lines guides on the plywood matches up with the trusses? How is it that you are able to nail it so fast otherwise?

[@lewislewis4917]

All tgs videos I have seen with the technic of flipping up the trusses they don't show the last few. With not having enough room for them to flip up what do you do. Hump them up straight?

[@terrywerner8600]

Notice you are using plywood on the roof and not OSB. Is this due to strength?

[@kenskarpentry]

Somewhat. Ian is to expensive now

[@anothermakitaguy5163]

Happy Friday All !!!

[@Kennybobennyable]

Hey Ken, what nails do you use for sheathing the garage?

[@kenskarpentry]

2” galvanized

[@rupe53]

Perfect use of drone footage! (before the wind came up) BTW, how did I become the first to post a comment with 3,000 views already?

[@philipblass6544]

Ink on the sheet goods? For the price, should be self nailing.

[@michaelbarlow6062]

Good job 👍 half a 16th😂

[@kenskarpentry]

Thanks hahaha

[@sandercurtis1847]

Why are the gable end trusses framed differently than the interior trusses?

[@craigflatley7370]

🇨🇦👍

[@peterkutoh3699]

Is the video being taken by a drone?

[@jackp2323]

Any thoughts on reversing every other truss so you have a running bond with the splices on the bottom chord?

[@kenskarpentry]

We were told they need to go the same direction

[@johnharlow2206]

Two man truss show

[@rosiewelsh717]

How wide is this building

[@kenskarpentry]

24’

[@johnmeeks9618]

Have you ever had to build your own trusses?

[@StoneKathryn]

Ken said that he did build trusses on some of the garages when he first started building.

[@mike93lx]

Hey Ken. Is there a reason you wouldn't want the sheathing to overlap both top plates? I know it gets covered by the soffit, but is it just not necessary structurally?

[@mgh439]

I have an odd question. My 10-year-old son noticed that you do not any Porta Potties in the videos. Where do you go when you need to go? I told him you do what bears do. Start the jokes here. We have a future builder/contractor in the family. He and I love watching your videos. Thank you.

[@richardreiter66]

Do you use a 2x4 or a 2x6 sub fascia and do you add a 1x board for the fascia or do you just use the sub fascia and cover with coil stock .

[@joepier8213]

anyone know what are those metal "braces" are called he uses to hold the truss together while getting them in place

[@kenskarpentry]

Truss spacers

[@andrewpate9157]

How thick is your sheathing on walls and on trusses?

[@cathiwim]

I thought i heard 7/16”

[@technofugit8391]

19/32 cdx on the roof 7/16 OSB is standard for wall sheathing

[@kenparr9666]

Ken how do you roll the last 2 r 3 trusses?

[@technofugit8391]

My guess is they get them up there when they are near the end and slide them over

[@tomjeffries58]

Glad your back healed. Take it easy. Let the youngun's do it!😄 Where's Chad? You hurt your back and no lift?

[@benioltean4334]

What's the footprint of the garage ?

[@technofugit8391]

24’x24’

[@mortenmyhrmoen7592]

🇳🇴👍👍🇳🇴

[@johnnickerson3215]

Where is your other helper?

[@donaldweisman8069]

buy yourself 20' pick or make one with 2x4's & scrap plywood ,less up and down on the step ladder.

[@theElderberryFarmer]

Where's Chad? I hope he's ok. Man, it is a lot harder to work with 1 man down.

[@johnfulks8821]

THAT AIN'T PLYWOOD , THAT IS WOODCHIPS HELD TOGETHER WITH ELMERS GLUE ,

[@charleshutchings3010]

Nail guns not a hammer Ken .lol

[@kirkwagenaar6744]

[@fearlesssquatcher5737]

Where is Chad?
