Modern House Part 13- Rolling roof and floor joists plus stairs to the top floor.

[@nomiSimple]

Please have a coffee on me for seemingly working in the rain all day every day!

[@ShredPile]

I will do exactly that on my way in this morning! Thanks so much:-)

[@danbreyfogle8486]

I am enjoying the aerial shots, it really gives a great overview of the structure.

[@Edward-qe7ih]

Being a 35 years of service in the Chicago Carpenters,I had the opportunity to work on many things.I always liked working alone .Getting a plan in the morning in your head,it’s amazing how much one man can get done in one day.I miss being able to do it,all the heavy lifting,working in all weather really took its toll on my body.Its fun to see a hard working guy like you.just getter done.

[@ShredPile]

I appreciate that, So true, it always stands out to me how much of a difference to a day the first or last 1/2 hour can make towards the plan or goal. Thanks for tuning in:-)

[@delo3936]

Jake, you are a machine. Thanks for taking us all along on your build. Cheers

[@ShredPile]

Awesome, thanks:-)

[@paulbush7095]

After watching one of Jake’s videos I never feel like I got nearly enough accomplished at the end of any of my work days. I hope my boss never sees this guy work.

[@rrpinsanfrancisco8598]

Jake’s a BEAST!!! Loading stair stringers!

[@CrustyAbsconder]

It must be a huge relief to know that you have all the hard work behind you, and the rest is a piece of cake in comparison.

[@ShredPile]

Yeah, even though it's still going up its mostly pattern work left and then a lot of pickup work and sheeting but that's mostly autopilot type stuff.

[@lucillekenney8311]

This is quite the build! Safety is key, that's good to see 👍I think that's the first time I saw the sun come out!

[@ShredPile]

The sun has been in short supply but all of a sudden spring showed up this week:-)

[@robertsimmons3556]

Man is the frame coming along! Great aerial views, makes me appreciate all the engineering! I would not like to have paid for that!! Things you take for granted, nice safety brief!! shutting down the crane etal! Another good post Jake! Until the next!

[@ShredPile]

Thanks Robert:-) I'm glad everyone has been able to tune in even though I posted later than normal.

[@Aidan-tu4un]

I love the way that you even make the blocking on the temporary stair handrail level and at right angles!!😂😂

[@ShredPile]

It makes everything else look wonky if you don't :-) Good to see you again:-)

[@roblescurbappealconcrete]

Always looking forward to your project Jake. Thank you so much.

[@ShredPile]

Awesome Joe, thanks! My pleasure:-)

[@nicksrestos8505]

Another great vid. I noticed the third corner glazing window off the bathroom. Odd number rule, 👍 My Dad built our house back in the mid 70’s here in the Okanagan Valley, B.C. I helped the best I could as a 10 year old. People thought he was crazy for using 2x6’s to frame the house.

[@ShredPile]

And now there are some getting built with stagger studs on 2x8 plates so theres no thermal transfer. Dad was a pioneer! Your'e right about the odd number rule, there is actually a 4 corner glazed in the back bedroom but they nixed yet another which would've been 5:-)

[@micmike]

Nice, thanks for sharing

[@paulhammond7489]

Coming along great, and a little sunshine never hurt anything... The 'CraneCam' shots provide a great insight how it all fits together :)

[@ShredPile]

Thanks Paul:-)

[@mikeaustin9810]

Obviously you're not afraid of heights. I am amazed with your skills

[@ShredPile]

Thanks. I'm very respectful of them:-)

[@george8873]

Like the floor trusses since they can give you plenty of space for your mechanical systems without having to cut up your i-joists or other standard joists. Pretty clever to put in the plumbing pipes as you're installing them. Less joints to worry about leaking later on. Anyway, another great video. Really enjoy them.

[@ShredPile]

Thanks for that, I honestly can't imagine how they would've ever gotten thru there otherwise with 12"oc joists given the size of the acceptable drill zone with the fall requirements. Funny thing though, in chatting to a framer buddy about the issue he clued me in to the fact that sometimes they add rat runs to these systems which can be tricky to install later if you miss them and in my case impossible. Sure enough there was one hiding in the layout. That's the 2x6 you see me sliding into the webs with the pipes.

[@andrewcooper8980]

Watching you stomp on those rafters, it looks like they snap and lock 😆

[@ShredPile]

That's exactly what they do:-)

[@temyraverdana6421]

I'm impressive about your amazing energy and precision to do your work. Wonderful

[@ShredPile]

I appreciate that:-)

[@cjtaylor0103]

First 20 minutes I felt like you were just stringering us along! If one wished to send you a token of appreciation for the hard work you're doing to entertain us, where would one send that token of appreciation?

[@ShredPile]

Lol, I had to read that twice:-) There's several ways on my channel page in the 'about' section that will find me. Ones a link, ones an email addy and the other is my PO box. Super glad you are enjoying the content!

[@cjtaylor0103]

@@ShredPile Got it. On the way :). When you work hard, you should have tools that do their best to reduce stress on your body. Hopefully the new tool on the way will help keep you in the fight for many more years to come.

[@ShredPile]

Awesome, can't wait to see what shows up:-) @@cjtaylor0103

[@cjtaylor0103]

Arriving today.

[@ShredPile]

Dude, amazing. Thank you so much. It will take a couple weeks to show up in a video, but rest assured I’m gonna start working this thing like a rented mule here in about 20 minutes:)

[@president2]

Love it 😍

[@michelrobert4584]

Bonjour, moi je suis vraiment admiratif de tout le travail que vous effectuer et en plus bien filmé et avec explications , en plus vous voila enfin avec un peu de soleil car jusqu'à maintenant vous n'avez pas été gâté par le temps, encore bravo à vous et hâte de voir la suite de la part du vosgien en FRANCE

[@ShredPile]

Content de te revoir Michel, c'est incroyable ce qu'un gars peut produire de plus avec un peu de soleil :-)

[@douglasthompson2740]

Nice job on those stringers. The way I like to see them built.

[@ShredPile]

Thanks:-)

[@leecross3731]

another great week of work !

[@erkanayhan4060]

I am an old engineer and still learning something from you... Thank you indeed... I wish we could do a project together...

[@ShredPile]

Thanks for that, It makes me happy that what I do is reaching so many people. Really cool.

[@therealone6296]

I'm always glad to see you wearing your glasses, but walking on those outside rim joist, makes me pucker up a bit.

[@ShredPile]

Thanks for that, i'll be careful.

[@ashleyrowley4493]

Thanks for sharing the knowledge!

[@rodneymacfarlane1707]

ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO WORK SAFE /CHEERS.

[@user-gf2km4us2z]

And on the top, you are ALSO an equilibrist!!!! Euh don’t know what to say more….

[@ShredPile]

Somehow I have never heard or read this word before today and I'm over the moon to find it here. My comment section DELIVERS and I love it!

[@bobbruin44]

Jake another masterpiece. I can’t wrap my head around the horizontal hold downs? We use them to join floors together per hurricane code in Rhode Island. Peace my friend

[@ShredPile]

Oh yeah, we mostly use them that way here too but in this case they are used for torsion (twisting) control. By tying the steel beam to the perpendicular wood beam and then tying that into the diaphragm of the roof it effectively turns the wood member into a wrench or lever arm that keeps the beam from rolling from the loads that are potentially developed at the unsupported end. They are placed at the last point of contact of a cantilevered beam. It's a really common attachment in steel to steel connections but not so much wood to steel. I've done this same thing in another fashion before and this is way simpler. I hope that all makes sense.

[@oleNemama]

Jambo Jake, thanks again for yet another record of your superlative work. Fantastic progress too....hard to quite speculate just how it will turn out when compete. Honest to god, Jake, you have to consent to undertake a project like this in Kenya - same material mix, in an almost similar topography (forested game-conservation area but sunnier, warmer), and larger (possibly 12-16 ensuite large bedrooms around centralized common-use and service areas on two floors). Have you a timeline to the completion of your current project? And can you get away to these tropics for a couple of days later in this year for an exploratory run? Sorry for the ambush...!! And thanks for today's share.

[@davidwilliams-xc6kt]

a full days work, then video editing? I hope you have someone. Great project for us to follow. Any concerns about everything being wet? Eventually it needs to dry, but I guess the summer is coming.

[@ShredPile]

Hey thanks, the two low roofs are now dried in and it starts going the other direction right away. The builder is used to dealing with it and has a program.

[@reinerfranke5436]

Crane-Ballet ... wonderful. Btw you need a crane which listen to you. He is devoted to strict commands and do not have a clue about slopes and inclines of small angles.

[@ShredPile]

What an incredible idea. I wonder if it could be controlled with google glasses or some other vision interactive system as a backup to VOX. What an upgrade that would be!

[@niloyrudra7905]

Age is just a number!

[@milesbrown2]

Jake, could you please explain the various distances of the joists and trusses and the reasoning behind them? Some are at 12” on center, others 16” and 24”, from my perspective. Thanks for the great content.

[@ShredPile]

Sure Miles, I'll do my best. The first 30-35' of both ends of this level are actually the roof and other than a curb as far as it goes so the spacing is dependent on the span and loading. I believe there is also some 19.2 spacing in there as well but I think most of it is in the part that is floor for the upper level. Again there, span dictates spacing. The "floor trusses' in the driveway end of the house were designed to allow the void for the rain drain piping which is going to work well. that area is somewhat split between eco roof and roof terrace so the trusses were slightly different and clearly marked for location. Overall, some of the areas can get really tight and everything needs to go in in the right order or you can't get it in. There's also been a few changes made so I have to be careful working between the new S-pages and the original TJI layout.

[@michaelmilella6857]

Thanks for the info Jake. Can’t wait for the final product.

[@wernerpfeifer]

Die Leistung eines einzelnen Mannes ist ja hoch einzuschätzen, die Qualität eines Holzhauses wird dadurch aber nicht besser. Das Holz, besonders das Sperrholz ist über Monate der Witterung ausgesetzt. Es wird feucht zusammen geschraubt und genagelt. Das wird über Jahre nicht trocknen. Jeder normale Mensch kann sich vorstellen, wie sich der Schimmel ausbreiten wird. Das ist nicht das gesündeste Wohnklima. Ich habe nichts gegen Holzhäuser, aber nur wenn sie so schnell als möglich, bei trockenem Wetter aufgebaut werden.

[@luciomorales6047]

Mr Jake the house is looking really good and where do you buy your materials

[@ShredPile]

Thanks man! all the wood comes from one of the local lumberyards and the steel comes from a wholesale account that I have.

[@PeterLee-zn3jl]

Likin yer new spurs , too.. we dont need no fermat parade spurs..! YeeHaw

[@ShredPile]

Right on Peter, Took me till midday to work that one out but you are absolutely right. Think i'm going to order up a spare set since I have the rest of the stuff already to make the whole bridle again

[@Z-Bart]

"Crisis averted" I was at pucker factor 10 the whole time.

[@ShredPile]

Lol, I was really wishing I had a camera handy for those two joists so i settled for hoping the mic picked up what I was saying.:-)

[@Z-Bart]

@@ShredPile I had to chuckle seeing you staging that ABS pipe. I was a journeyman plumber in Denver in the mid 80's, all commercial buildings. We would all get a good laugh when a new guy showed up with black glue all over his bibs. Lol.

[@ShredPile]

It must be a whole other world when all the DWV is cast iron. Just the floor to floor stack weight must be immense. One of those pieces I put in the trusses smashed my fingers pretty good:-) @@Z-Bart

[@Z-Bart]

@@ShredPile Yeah the roof drains were all cast iron too. Lots of clevis hangers, unistrut and all-thread.

[@johnjacobs4207]

Is the bottom end of the stair stringer being held up by nails alone or did you put a support under that lower end?

[@ShredPile]

There's a ledger, blocking and screws at all the bottoms and blocking and screws at the tops. I wasn't sure how the bottom of the bottom set was going to play out so it will be done in place.

[@lloydmiller5275]

25:32 why do put the glue on the bottom of the joist hangers?

[@ShredPile]

It helps stop the hanger from singing later on if stuff moves around. It doesn't happen often but its difficult to fix if it does and it's easy enough to glue now so I do:-)

[@lloydmiller5275]

Thanks that makes sense.

[@roberthartley8105]

Jake is this your house or are you building it for someone? Thanks for Sharing, you work like Magic....Angel Blessings, I felt that bump to the head.....

I'm just the framer on this one. Theres a few other tasks I'll do here as well. I felt that bump too!

[@pwr6038]

You must have been a gymnast in a past life…..

[@1lifesucks]

I'm curious about the adhesive use on the joist hangers. I guessing to eliminate squeaks but it's just a guess. Really enjoying your build. A lot of work but extremely satisfying.

[@ShredPile]

Exactly right, They can end up making sounds in more than one direction depending on the type of hanger and the type of joist. The glue stops most of it. Thanks for tuning in:-)

[@RenoVaTio1958]

Unbelievably,You are truly amazing 🏗️I wonder were you fortunate enough to build your own home
