FULL Start to Finish Mezzanine Build

[@tmenzella]

I had so many chores planned for this afternoon. RR builders have totally messed it up now there’s an hour of awesomeness just dropped. I have to drink beer too.

[@RRBuildings]

lol awesome

[@Ss-ds3yq]

Curious why no isoTunes hearing protection lately ?

[@95dodgev10]

​@@Ss-ds3yq at the 40 min mark kyle had something in. Kind of hard to tell if it was isotunes. Pretty sure I saw him using them during the giant building build. Probably just coincidence and/or convenience of filming and narrating. I know I hate talking with any kind of ear pro on.

[@Hopalong..75]

I like to watch men do the job correctly without the need to argue against taking shortcuts and halfazzing everything. I appreciate your committment to excellence. And Greg too.

[@Bacon_Hawk]

I love watching Greg work!

[@steveneal2706]

amazing video. Thank you guys

14:24 Love hearing Greg's product insight!

[@BWIL2515]

The hangers was hilarious not just that you did it but you and gregs faces couldn't believe you did that I've done it more than once but i love that beam saw it's so much better than turning your post thanks for sharing

[@rongrantga]

Your production quality has improved over the years! Great editing too. I learn something with every video.

[@antoniogonzalez9597]

Good way to start a Saturday! Learning

[@migueltor6434]

You men work quickly without losing efficiency and quality 👏🏿 👌🏿.

[@michaelmunro2820]

Looking forward to your next post-frame project!

[@iangrosskopf1481]

Would love to see an in-depth video of all the ins and outs of a staircase build. Looks great.

[@JohnSeaward]

See this what good quality done right the first time job that's been to what most would say is over kill but I say done bloody right and safest way !! I don't know how many clients I've argued with because they didn't get that the little extra things like joist hangers improves safety, improves strength, and always make things look great when done right Instead of cheaping out, so gents thank you for showing it being done right, and I would hire these gents any time ! And thanks for taking the time for the editing cause some don't get just how much goes into making these videos lol, thanks for posting and great job all around

[@RobertMorris-e8v]

Got water, power, internet. Family doing good. Roof repaired here in Valdosta Ga. Feel bad for those in mountains. Florida is in for major trouble. Seeing any form of normalcy helps.

[@earlsmithson4749]

Another fine job by RR. Keep the vids coming fellows, much enjoyed and appreciated.

Great builds everytime.

[@tjjm1907]

When working with my Granddad back in the '60s and '70s using recycled materials and such he often said " Hell for pretty , but strong." You guys do pretty work and strong. He would enjoy your efforts as I do.

Well done guys.

[@Kalthoff.]

I started using the Skil beam chain saw for cutting all my stringers. I've never had a better result with every stringers being nearly Identical. You do need to make sure the chain if freshly sharpened and take your time because the chain is a rough cut but it works great for me!

[@johnrobinson8364]

It is about time Greg made the stairs it would be good.

[@craigfism]

Loving the video series guys you do such an awesome job but why don't you come to Australia and help me build my home

[@EyesOnlyTeam86]

29:46 This is Greg's, "I REALLY HATE MY BOSS RIGHT NOW" laugh!!😂😂

[@youtubasoarus]

The quality of your work and the attention to detail is awesome. Really makes these videos satisfying to watch. Like that top tread going in. Man that must be satisfying.

I did back up the video and stopped to take a closer look at your fork lift cert card. Looked legit to me!

[@mpoulin]

Looks awesome!

[@beetleclemens3727]

Truly remarkable

[@ericwilson5720]

Would there be any use for a small lap joint over your 6x6 vertical supports instead of a butt hour using toe nails/screws? Just curious on your thoughts. I know you use GRK and the way you build structure and apply common sense it’s unlikely that particular structure will fail anywhere but if you used a 3” lap joint centered on your post you’re be able to use a few nails for more shear strength, correct? You would just have secure your LVLs to the post using exposed toe nails/screws or use other hardware. Again, just a thought. It may not be worth the trouble in the end.

[@bradyportz4800]

Do you ever run into issues with the concrete having the posts for the mezzanine sitting on the slab without any foundation below it?

[@ecuadordave8076]

That was my same question. Whats below those columns? wire, thikness, conrete strength...etc...?

[@ski7516]

I’d like to know too

[@leoalvarado7528]

Yes please do a staircase video of all the math.

[@TravisBentley-k7x]

I dig the joint im goin to call it a half and half

16 foot in center… you’re badass! 😂😂

[@bertveldhuizen8699]

Kyle: "It's a dumb idea". Greg: "It's a real dumb idea". LOL For the joist hangers on the double LVL I would have used 2 1/2" hanger nails but that's just me.

[@chrispugh75]

Perfect

‘Kyle’ written on your beam saw reminds me of writing your name on clothes for summer camp 🤣.

[@carlhaynie8710]

Shoulda been a singer!

[@HowardHerron-e5m]

Just a thought or two. If you stated your OSB at the back wall you will go faster - you are running long anyway. I like the router, but a skill saw is WAY faster and with the a track saw just as clean. I like to hit the edges of the tread overhang and the OSB at the stair edge landing/opening with a 1/4 to 3/8 round over bit. Less splinters with All the hands touching those edges while walking up, and a real nice edge for those treads that run long. Lastly, you might hide the bottom screw of the stair backing behind the tread itself, and then screw down into the top of it from the tread above, giving you a screw-less look. Really enjoying the videos, I like that you are showing that with just a little pre thought and only a tad bit more labor; you can create a great and long lasting project. Keep up the good work…..

[@dlg5485]

Wish you guys were in Ohio. I'd hire yall in a heartbeat to build my dream home.

[@markb.1259]

Why not gluing down the mezzanine decking??

[@danfd26233]

Was the floor glued down? Thought you mentioned you were gonna do it?

[@arichie_rich]

A joint never hurt anybody😉

[@JC.Tanguay]

You don't use lumberlock on the bottom of your I joist to the bottom of your hangers... We are obligated where I live that why I askjng. Nice project 🤯 by the way

Greg doesn't know what he I s missing to listening to Elvis!

[@xagron2902]

any weight limit concern that the posts are on the slab without piers?

[@VicsYard]

Awesome

Hey Kyle been subscribed to ur channel for many years love watching ur videos. Quick question how often do u upgrade ur lasers?

[@RRBuildings]

upgrade only if it breaks...I did just calibrate my rotary

[@tylerbarrett6652]

... and I thought I remembered you putting in the line for a heated floor - and then you drill all those holes in your concrete. I sure hope you didn't hit any... or did you plan for this when you laid them out? Thanks for sharing your dream shop build with us - I LOVE these types of projects.

[@gabrielarrhenius6252]

Heated floor in a cold storage?

Oh my bad - this isn't YOUR shop. Sorry

I am trying to determine your floor to ceiling height. mainly the mezzanine height for the staircase. .

[@pseggons9512]

I have one question. What manufacturer makes the gun grade foaming wood glue. I have been looking for it in the UK for a while with no success. Seems so much easier than the squeezy bottles, less waste and mess.

[@deuxmontagne]

very good idéa

[@stevemears4137]

I have in floor heat. What should I do for the post brackets so I don’t risk hitting my tubing underneath??

[@michavoight1586]

Hi Kyle, i like watching your Videos. Just a question why didnt you made an half lapp join on the posts with the lwl?

[@RRBuildings]

you think that would have changed anything?

[@clintonconger4665]

I am wondering what the reason you used the I joist hangers instead of setting the I joist on top of the LVL header?

[@bennash2134]

Question, when drilling into the Concrete floor, how would you know where to drill when the floor has heated pipes running up it ??

nice deck

[@robells6759]

Big saw and safety glasses on top of your hat. 🤫

[@racingjoe27]

Which ldm are you using?

[@dannygeouge8459]

We're gonna go just like this..haha

[@donmerry]

I use adhesive between metal joist supports and any horizontal wood members. Squeaky floors are the result of fastener movement and movement within those metal supports. Stairs built with solid wood framing can squeak unless all the risers are installed first and then the treads are fastened from behind the riser (along with adhesive as was done). The notching of that rim corner was needless. It is structurally unsound and generally a poor practice. The ledger that was installed should mimic an above ground deck, it should be fastened with lags to prevent it putting away from the vertical supports.

[@Brokeboysoffroad]

how big would you say that shop space is?

[@kentellis8512]

Liked how your safety glasses are protecting your hat LOL

[@jakemartin6200]

[@evanbarney6817]

Do you always use RSS screws or do you use R4 as well ?

[@OriginalJetForMe]

Did I miss why you stopped gluing after the first subfloor panel?

[@mikepetersen2927]

Your customers certainly get their money's worth. Great work that'll last a lifetime. Kinda weird, though -- you took pains to make sure all the (nearly invisible) printing on the joists was upright, but left the (highly visible) glue smudge on the riser behind the bottom stair tread. Maybe you had to wait for it to set before you scraped it? 🤔

[@RRBuildings]

sander....

[@pdpz6084]

I just recently put a ton of hangers on. I used a palm nailer that worked perfectly. You stick the nail onto the magnetized holder and place the nail point exactly where you want to start it. It goes in very rapidly.

[@steveanderson4768]

I own one of those positive placement nail guns for shooting joist hanger nails. They are well worth the money and they’ll actually drive a nail through a nickel and nail it to a 2 x 4 if you have the Hitachi one which is pretty bad ass.

[@FieldstonefarmOH]

Do you have a video on how they did the insulation?? I want to use batt on my pole building

[@chrisgentry4427]

I'm going to build a 40x60 post frame shop/office/garage and can't seem to find anyone to come up with custom plans for me. I could probably figure it out, but I have many questions. One of the biggest is why do you use OSB/zip system in some buildings, and not in others? I'm in southwest indiana and want to heat/cool this building year around. Who do you use to engineer your plans? I'd like to contact them.

[@bobbrinkerhoff3592]

How about a video of building a ramp over an existing set of concrete porch steps .

Can Greg build stairs on his own ?

[@Noorikon]

👍👌👏

[@tylercousins7779]

With access to a forklift, why not use a PSL? You could have saved a lot of labour and done the whole length in 2 pieces with no laminating

[@BigTee-lp7qu]

At more than twice the cost, including labor I bet plus availability

[@tylercousins7779]

@@BigTee-lp7qu 1-3/4 x 11-7/8 Microlam $12/ft x2 plus glue, plus structural screws, plus labor to laminate and install them individually. 3-1/2 x 11-7/8 PSL. $22/ft. Set it and forget it. Typically engineers spec microlam so it’s easier to man handle. But if you have access to machines, PSL is cheaper, faster, less labour and not additional hardware which is expensive.
