The Dad joke master in me chuckled when you said “Truss” me at the beginning. Nice Work!

You make this all look so easy. Once I start my garage I am going to have your videos on speed dial....LOL

[@MyDIYAdventures]

Excellent! Maybe I can actually make some ad revenue!😂

The rise and run, birds mouth, angles to cut the rafter tails and ridge end. This is where most people screwup. "I cut it 3 times and its still too short".

Laying out the top n bottom plates is easy.

2x8 spans 14'. What about 18'? 20'?

[@MyDIYAdventures]

When the spans get that big, the build usually requires trusses.

Sorry I'm late. There was a train

[@MyDIYAdventures]

One more tardy and there will be consequences!

Couldn't you take your pick and set it up outside the garage so you wouldn't have to go up and down the ladder so much at the end?

[@MyDIYAdventures]

Yeah, but it’s a lot of trouble to move, and I left it staged in the middle so I could install king posts and collar ties. You’ll see that in an upcoming video👍

[@chrislcaggie141]

U forgot to add all your prep time for all your cuts bring the materials ,funny how guys do not count that on these videos garauntee the count it on the charge or bill

[@MyDIYAdventures]

Why would I include prep time in an installation video?
