My Dream Shop Ep - 6: Installing our Engineered Foundation Brackets

[@Diga784]

Quote for the day. "If its got a hole I'm going to fill it" this has many applications I like it.

[@Z-Bart]

The black eye was a classic. Lol.

[@scioli700]

😂😂😂😂😂 💯

[@paulhasser625]

😅 classic for sure, unfortunately, because of today’s online environment, you were wise to do the “joke explainer” 🤓

[@IndianaDiy]

@@paulhasser625Agreed!

[@detroitwings99]

"If it's got a hole - I might as well fill it" I think that should be on the next RR merch drop.

[@amsohn1]

You two are so funny and cute! Y'all act like brothers! Love watching you! Lord bless you❤

[@robbiedh02]

Finally got the loan closed to start building our 30x60x12 post frame. Hopefully it gets up before Christmas..

[@BeeHiverson]

What Christmas? Like in two years lol

[@robbiedh02]

[@ericmiller3435]

Glad to see Greg mic’d up! Workplace shenanigans make it fun. Greg, you gotta up your game and talk louder. Enjoy watching you guys!

[@absoluteidaho3767]

Kyle, If somebody is going to get the black eye award, it’s best to do it off camera! Nice makeup Greg - a tear drop below the black eye would have been a nice touch if you receive any more awards.

[@christophermcneil7534]

80-foot Quarter inch!!! it doesn't get any closer than that. Man, that is RIGHT ON the money!

[@jeremyb8941]

It’s nice to watch just two guys build with such professional and precise ways of the trade.. and the joking around shows how well you guys get along working together.!! Keep up the great content.!! Excited to see the progress of the building going up but also the end results.!!!

[@waynesinden]

My wife is making brownies and i'm here watching RR doing what they do best.

[@GonzaloAF2593]

Im a residential home contractor and i wish i would run in the problems you do with youre concrete .. 1/8 of 1/4, even 1/2inch is blessing .. the animals that do the concrete for the union i work miss the square up to 2 1/2 inches worst ive seen not to even mention the concrete lvls .. and at the end of the day you know who has to solve that problem .. Me the Carpenter.. wish i could work with ppl like you instead all the clowns im surrounded with. It would make working a joy instead of a headache

[@stevecorcoran9869]

Man! Been a while since I watched the channel regularly & you guys have made some serious changes. With the additional explanations and the moving camera & fancy cut-aways you guys are like a modern day Bob Villa & Norm . . . . . . . . except way more interesting than they ever were. Kudos.

[@Kevern70]

English speaking people here. And I like when people fault to the level of proper, just like setting the posts :-) At least you didn't misuse "Greg and myself!"

[@davidwurth5213]

Absolutely hilarious! "Me and Greg"/"Greg and I" correction! Reminds me of my younger years in Catholic grade school with the nuns beating that into our heads. Nice catch on your grammar, Kyle!

[@jimw3799]

Every time I see someone checking their foundations like this I'm reminded of one of the first buildings I built... We were stretching a tape across the subfloor to double check our measurements and squareness. We kept getting different numbers that were way off... could not figure out how we would check and it would be one length and then we come back and check again and it would be a different. This went on for a while until I finally figured out that the tape was inches/feet on one side and meters on the other side. Once I figured out to use the same measurement the subfloor was almost perfect. Laughed for a while on that one.

[@tylerm7597]

It's always nice to see another RR Buildings video. Can't wait to see RRHQ2.0 complete, but I am loving the in depth process on this one.

[@K-Fred]

Thanks for taking the time to explain in such detail, each part of the process.

[@JDDupuy]

First class work all the time. You set an amazing standard! Always looking forward to seeing a true professional going from task to task! Much success with your shop!

[@migueltor6434]

Those lasers are great. Talk about accurate 🤣.

[@freddien7]

Loved at the start when you Kyle stepped out of the trailer talking to camera and Greg looked over and looked like he was saying Who you talking too? Love how the drills go through the concrete like butter. Another great video.

[@TheRooster1122]

KYLE,,, Very happy for you on the, new shop it’s going to be amazing can’t wait for the next build video!!! Take care and, thanks for sharing friend..!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@samwoo7935]

I sure am glad I didn't throw that chalk line at Kyle. You guys are funny!!

[@JacobLongActingJourney]

When this project is done it would be cool to see a “mega video” of start to finish. Id watch this for hours!

[@UncleIvan1]

Milkita !!! What a beautiful sight seeing Makita and Milwaukee working in a harmony 😍

[@thruitallauto2538]

I think it’s cute how Greg allows you to take credit for all the building layouts, he’s a good guy

[@tonynewton7902]

Great job as always guys. 👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@grassman8684]

Love your channel. I've been around building most of my life but i learn something new nearly everytime I watch your videos.

[@PRACTICALBUSHCRAFTSURVIVAL]

Hi Kyle I was watching the perkin brothers . And they are going to install a new railing system on there new build. The railing is called (cable bullet ). No spacers or shims needed, it’s all built in one system. Check it out . Looks slick too ….

[@Gunrunner4532]

Man, y’all do awesome work. 2 guys! Amazing

[@ted7x]

now that's how it should be done right there, very nice! Can't wait to see completed

[@WoodworkingCyclist]

I almost always inject in the holes before screwing down hilti HIT HY 200A. Extremely powerful hybrid mortar for anchoring rebars and heavily loaded anchors. Feels somehow even more secure

[@Krunch2020]

Here in earthquake country the bolts would be embedded 3’ with plate washers and nuts. Then tied into the foundation rebar. After the first 15 seconds of an earthquake you’ll be glad you did!

[@beachboardfan9544]

Greg def deserved that shiner!

[@johnparker5069]

i cant stop staring at that 300k boom crane. that thing is amazing 👀

[@austyndavis6102]

Thank you for referencing Pythagorean theorem! At the beginning of the video when you started to pull tape I was saying “ah 3,4,5 it and you will be good! Not a home builder myself but I build cranes and a lot of times I use Pythagorean theorem to square up the timber mat pads for the cranes! Good work!

[@RickBescoe]

I wonder why they didn't use a laser measurer instead of tape or steel that stretches...

[@MrBswede]

Nearly 50 years ago when surveying roads we used a steel chain (tape measure). We tried to always have the same tension on the chain to be reasonably accurate but if you wanted to be really good you would use a gauge hooked to the chain to get the same tension each time. Mostly we surveyed logging roads though so it was not a big deal. For good gravel roads we got laser measurers - that was cool back then!

[@walterbrob]

Temperature correction is critical. You add or subtract depending on if you are setting or measuring points. 32 yr. retired MDOT.

[@carsfrommybedroomwall365]

Get well soon, Greg!

[@Pw.papa.7]

Nice can’t wait to see the new shop

[@davidwalker9188]

I love how a two-man crew you and Greg do such a great job that usually takes other crews for five people per crew.but with fewer people = less opportunity for mistakes. I think I said that right lol

[@BBKConstruction]

Pretty sweet magni in the background!

[@theloniousm4337]

I was just wondering about metal tape temperature fluctuations when you mentioned. How much variance would you get over 100' with a metal tape from a 40 degree day to a 90 degree day (50 degree temp swing). Would the tape change 1/2"?? I have no idea, but I do know metal expands.

[@andymarshall2201]

Excellent episode Kyle. You and Greg are a great team

[@Brewdiss]

I can't wait to see the video that Greg directs. 🤘😎

[@cmo_kky]

lol, classic, It’ll be ok Greg…The Apprentice will become the Master someday!

[@ericsoumah7510]

I'm following with bells on, love your channel, I do however miss your amazing Tools day videos, but that's fine. Thanks for your amazing content 👍

[@BraxxJuventa]

Thanks for filming. 😁👍🏼

[@TeriSmith-s9b]

Another great and informative video

[@Overpar73]

Thanks Kyle for all the detailed explanation of the process! You and Greg are a fantastic Team, it always makes building allot of fun when your partner is Greg! My man cave build is coming along pretty good, Paul just delivered all the foam for my floor. I can't believe this weather woe have been having for November, however it's supposed to turn off cold next week. Take care and don't work to hard!

[@dutoyboy1]

Saw your Milwaukee compactor and searched for it online.... Definitely only for a career builder. Over $5000!!!

[@balzacq]

Hey Kyle, unrelated to the video, but: I'm DIYing my kitchen reno including reframing, sheathing, and new windows. Today I installed the drip caps over the windows, including two windows in an outside corner. So I thought, "how would Kyle handle this?" and trimmed the Z flashing so it looks like a mitered corner but has plenty of overlaps to keep out the water. So thanks for your videos, I've learned a lot.

[@badbilly1083]

Kyle @18:50 “If they got a hole…………I might as well FILL IT”. 😂😂😂

[@mikesvwcorrado]

Why not put both sides of the cut bracket on the corner at a 90 to each other?

[@missulu]

Great video! Thanks for the details.

[@mjay8128]

Being that this is your building I love the extra passion you are showing. Thanks for all of your time and effort !!!

[@deftar86]

This video got me pumped for the build!

[@A..n..d..y]

On the corner bracket why not leave the metal for the bottom of the post? What are your plans so that it doesn’t sit on the concrete?

[@charliemurphy2523]

Nice to see Greg mic'd up, now he needs to talk back more to Kyle.

[@duckmanbhb]

What a great video. You are a great teacher.

[@DK-xv3rc]

I know it’s a shop build but a blower door test would be interesting to see at the end of the build!

[@georgecoffman377]

Steel tapes also are subject to hot and cold but the good ones come with a scale to use depending upon the temperature.

[@AfflictionSuzukiGsxrLosAngeles]

I'm just going to hit thev”like” buttonbefore watching it just cause I know the video will be good.

[@duanethieme4186]

Great to see, thank you for the great information!

[@douggrace1653]

You two are amazing! I'm a mechanic and although my medium is a bit different, I love it when someone builds something with such a degree of perfection and craftsmanship. I'm actually "in the process of " - looking for an affordable acre or two - having a barndominium built..... I'm having trouble finding a piece of land that allows me to build a smaller place. All the land I find has a minimum square footage requirement that's bigger and more expensive than my needs/ budget. I subscribe to your channel to get ideas and be a bit more familiar with the process when the day comes...... My barndo will be about a 30'x60' with 900 sqft living space and a 900 sqft shop..... Absolutely love watching you two - great work, great team, I hope all the best for you both! I also hope I find a company as good as you when the time comes.....

[@jbweld138]

Great job!!

[@davedecker2056]

I’m just curious, where is your property located? I’m learning a whole bunch of good stuff from each one of your videos. Thanks so much for sharing your process of building your dream shop.

[@christopher-ricks]

At 10m49s.... Does Greg have a black eye? HAHA and the questions was answered at 12m15s.... that what I get for pausing and commenting and not waiting until the end of the video....LOL!

[@Will-No-Co]

Kyle, what was the total indicated difference between the tape and the Stabila 180. Just curious.

[@RRBuildings]

1/8 or quarter

[@JASPACB750RR]

Can you not put that half bracket on the strong axis of the building, and have a modified/shorter bracket made to put a long the weak axis? That way your through bolts are offset, and you get a two directional bracing?

[@CAZWorksWoodworking]

For the corner brackets, since the column no longer has the thickness of the metal to rest on, do you have to take that into consideration when cutting the columns to length?

[@pdcro1247]

Very educational!!!

[@matthewcaldwell2681]

You guys are hilarious love your videos

[@staudtj1]

The post brackets on the corners after cutting do not have a metal base where the post attaches. Do you put something in between the corner post and concrete?

[@aaronpennington7297]

Do you account for the metal not underneath the corner column, when you slice up a normal bracket?

[@sergiogabrielalecha6625]

excellent work ,💪💪💪

[@deebryson2923]

What if you have a 6' back wall when you are trying to layout the sides and front corners? What is the best way to account for the back wall corners being so much higher than the side and front walls?

[@MrTooTechnical]

Great vid. How come you didn’t put weather logic tape on the bottom of the brackets so the coating won’t peel / rust? And for the corner bracket you cut, did you spray paint the raw metal? Thanks.

[@ShawnSchmitt-v9f]

Can you tell me the pros and cons of using a pier foundation vs. footer wall foundation and when one might be preferred over the other?

[@bricksbymarco]

Great video again!!!

[@snomofilms]

Fillin’ holes since 2009

[@MIKE-oq6su]

I have a question for Kyle, when you do your corner brckts, since you cut the brckt any way why dont you put one half on each wall, seems like it would make a much stronger corner anchor. If you need to put a bolt in the post just drill another hole thru your plate ! I know you have the tools and the lag bolts arent to expensive, just a thought!

[@dylansansen8741]

great videos man. Question.. Where do you get your t-shirts/hats/sweaters branded with your logo?

[@YankeeDave75B2O]

It is truly scary how well you know how to put on make up! HA!

[@dlfendel2844]

Y'know, it just occurred to me: You guys are the Hope and Crosby or Martin and Lewis or Abbot and Costello of building post frames! :) Or for those too young, at least Rowan and Martin! (smile)

[@Kolokotrones]

What model Makita rotary hammer are you guys using? Any pros/cons to the other major players?

[@trhodes1707]

Kyle love y’all’s work . Any chance you know of a quality company like you in Michigan. Thanks

[@jeremyswanson1108]

@rr buildings Kyle, your editor actually pulls even more personality out of the two of you. I love this dude that edits. I don't give a shit about post frame buildings, but I watch each and every one of your videos. If I ever need to build a postframe, I would fucking murder it, thanks to you. By the way, what did you do in IT before you started doing real work?

[@MrRustyjackson]

Was Greg channeling Matt Risinger for a moment at the beginning (@ 1:00)? LOL!

[@marty3194]

those bolt are massive compared to the bracket? i would expect thicker brackets

[@evanbarney6817]

The most important step: the solid tap to make sure it’s goin nowhere

[@gordonshearston7590]

Total station is even more accurate you setout the holding down bolts to the mm

[@belicon_oficial]

How, nice channel I like 👍🏼 👌🏼

[@jimmarmon6337]

Where are you located? Does it snow ? What is snow load that you guys build with having 2x4x16 spanning 8 foot. Just curious I'm a builder up in north idaho western Montana Eastern Washington

[@DrMJJr]

18:40 Kyle’s starting to sound like GREG!!!! “I just feel like, if they got a hole, I feel like I got to fill it” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’m now deceased ☠️⚰️🪦

[@tysonserivce4884]

Kyle can the brackets that are drilled into the concrete also be used on a pier vs using the ones that are embedded into the concrete.

[@srchubz]

(yes. Look up Sturdi-Wall brackets)

[@merlinbyler6973]

I would love to to do your concrete porch floor, stamped colored maybe the rock texture it would really shine

[@adamcollins9293]

Workplace violence is never the answer, unless you're Greg... 😂

[@toddswenson]

Great stuff! Just thinking about what one of your buildings looks like after a hurricane strike. Not looking for anyone to get hurt but, a personal review of how your assembly techniques hold up would be epic and if by some miracle it could, you might have a big impact on the homebuilding industry's future direction.

[@RRBuildings]

I mean… we don’t have hurricanes in northern Illinois but we have tornados

[@ALintBunny]

We could go fund him a building so it's made specific to the paths of tornadoes...

[@shenlonggohan]

You think Matt Risinger's monopoly framing/continuous insulation could work on a post frame?

[@dougdiplacido2406]

Looking great. Thanks for a great video.

[@wink9970]

...I'll give you something to cry about.....🤗

[@harrisond8132]

Greg looks more bad ass than usual.

[@Leviathan609]

Why don't your half brackets have the rest of the plate in place for the column to rest on?
