[@Mark-l8t4p]

Wanda what a great helper you are!! 👍👍🎄🙏

[@outdoorlife5396]

you remind me of the kind of carpenter my Grandfather was. Good work

[@adrianhuff5340]

You do a great job describing what you are doing. Not sure of your profession, but you would make a wonderful teacher.

[@kirkschellhammer6593]

New to the page Thank you for giving such great narration I don't like complete cabin builds without explaining what and why you are doing what you're doing

[@stevehall9256]

One of the best roof framing videos on KZbin. Thanks.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Thanks 👍

[@theresacole3162]

Danny your years of experience show in your work, Great Job!, but you have one hardworking side kick! Wanda girl you do a great job too!!

[@tubularguynine]

A man in his element! It's great to watch and learn from someone who knows what he's doing. Great work, Danny and Wanda!👍🏻❤️📹

[@emmadalrymple4102]

Danny definitely knows what he is doing!

[@rehendrix3423]

Danny appreciate your expertise, you do it right👍

[@garyjohn316]

I must admit that was a little over my head but after you explained it and I seen you do it, it made sense. Great job!

[@hudson8865]

Thank You. I like youre vidoes, Porch time is my favorite talking about life and this world we live in. At 60 years old my view has changed alot, Knowing more truth about a lot of things in this country. But what to do with it is a quandry. Here in Ellis Kansas its been hoter than well you know what, lots of days over 100. Liveing in the rockey mountians for 50 years its hard to get used to, aabut ai drink lots of water and sewet alot and keep pluging away. Again thanks to you and youre wife for the knowledge.

Love watching your build...thanks guys

[@mikedkc]

Very nice work.

[@mickcheetal3517]

Danny as a pro drywaller from Australia living in the Philippines wanting to build a strong home, you are a godsend old mate. Many thanks! I save all your videos and I know that if I follow your clear succinct advice our first home will stand up to our Typhoon/Hurricane/Cyclone season here which is pretty scary... Cheers Champ! :))

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Wow, thanks We too live in a hurricane zone. We are 30 miles north of the Gulf of Mexico. We actually have one in the Gulf now.

[@1oldbluesheepdog]

You two are awesome. I've been watching y'all for quite a while. I'm jealous, but fortunate. i hope the younger generation will be inspired by you two before they get too old.

[@michelerucker3755]

You guys are amazing!😇😇😇

[@m3mikec]

Phew 😅 I’m tired 😆. Awesome guys!! Love the ridge beam connections, hadn’t seen that before. Looking forward to the next one 🙏

[@humblewarrior6585]

Thanks for another very informative video Danny. And great job helping Wanda, y'all make a great team !!!

[@sandravids5955]

Hi Danny, so informative. Do you plan to share your house plans and blue print in the future?

[@terryboyd9875]

Excellent explanation sir. On the rafters. Job well done.

[@andrewlittlefield3425]

Showing them skills👍🏻😁

[@rodneysnextchapter615]

Thanks for the video, in high school I helped build houses every summer but was never taught how to layout rafters.

[@michaelmueller8976]

Very informative, thanks Danny! ❤️

[@BearBottomAcres]

Looking good so far!

[@columbuspalmer846]

Nice work. I see your using pressure treated floor framing can you put insulation in the floor with that type of pressure treated material.

[@believeliveloveandlaugh3844]

Team work. Great !

[@waltofalltrades6817]

Nice detail on the ridge beam. I've thought of that idea but wasn't sure how to secure it, cause toe nailing it wouldn't be enough. I thought maybe plywood, but then you mentioned the metal strapping. That's a good idea!

[@lesleyharris3198]

Thanks again Danny, it's interesting to watch your process of building the cabin, but not something I could do, wish I could but.

[@christiebetts4970]

Good morning

[@paulerickson2974]

Awesome job... glad to see it going up... I know framers that can't frame that purdy even with a nail gun

[@roxanne3821]

Maybe it's time to look at using a garden ground cover again (straw, mulch, wood chips) in part of your gardening areas. Change requires change and flexibility. I believe the ground cover would keep the soil cooler and more moist extending your growing season and plant life. I am certainly no expert. We tried this in our planters as it has been unusually hot and dry - even here in Alaska. It worked for us especially in the potatoes and onions. Good luck. God bless. Keep God's work in your hearts. You're videos are a great inspiration.

[@Jay-tk7ib]

Butting the ends of ridge board between rafter pairs does not weaken the roof. Its the way people have built for many years.

[@jjo5375]

(Wanda, you getting all this)?? ('cause there will be a test)! (That man has my ears wiggling)! : P

[@CrazyDazes]

I thought that was the TEST for me! To keep up with him. Lol

[@jjo5375]

@@CrazyDazes LOL... No. You signed on for this and more in the Wedding Contract, check out the fine print...under the "for better or for worse" clause! I was referring to the math! (right before the " 'til death do you part" bit). PHEW! : )

[@SeanInAlaska]

Danny, I have really enjoyed this series and your videos overall, glad I found your channel! A question: do you remove the story poles after the rafters are all in place?

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Only after I put the collar ties in place.

[@micmike]

Scarf joint is what we call them where I live

[@deborahwagner9033]

good morning

[@jimandjackandhank7938]

Or you can look up in the rafters table and get your measurements and rack up those rafters and cut every rafters at 1 time

[@raybrock4008]

danny, you better hurry, rain is coming

[@michaelvangundy226]

With the knowledge that we have now about insulation, most builders would have bought trusses. That span between the top of the bearing wall and the horizontal for the ceiling will only have r11 at best. Assuming it is a vented attic with deflectors.

[@SherryGlow1]

Geez if I had half the brain Danny had I would be doing very well. I listened but I am so confused. I have no ability to build anything or even draw.

[@jjo5375]

Sherry, if it involves anything more than aluminum foil and duct tape... nope! Just ....nope! But, you'd be surprised how much those two Super Heroes have done in my home! : )
