I Built this ENTIRE ROOF BY MYSELF! DIY Workshop Build | Setting Trusses & Roof Framing

[@PaulTierney-nb3qe]

I have to say for you being a DIYer, it’s nice to see that you take pride in your workmanship. You do an amazing job and should be proud of your accomplishments

[@Samcraftcom]

Thank you, I appreciate that!

[@karengarrett1606]

That’s so awesome watching Elijah working the tractor and delivering you to the edges of the workshop and lifting you into place! Like a pro!

[@mikedurkee7296]

DUDE! You absolutely knocked it out of the park! I'm in the early planning stage of replacing our 10' x 12' backyard storage shed and you have shown me that it is totally possible to do it with very little assistance. Thank you! and the drone shots are on point!

[@Samcraftcom]

Glad I could help encourage you! If I can do it, anyone can... with enough tools. LOL This was a huge job indeed, but no one thing unmanageable, thankfully!

[@LandtoHouse]

Great work! that is one solid roof.

[@denisewilson8367]

For a man who doesn't like ladders (heights) you did an awesome with the help of the rolling scaffolding & your son driving the tractor. Good job fellas!

[@davidsorrell1428]

Unbelievable. You've done all of this by yourself. I don't even know you and I'm so danged proud of you and what you've accomplished. Great job.

[@rogernewquist1346]

Elija helped

[@mrs.c9174]

Yes, dad had a lot of trust in his son moving the tractor with him balanced on the attachment! 😬 I’m sure Elijah enjoyed helping his dad by driving the big rig. 🚜 Sam always finds something that both boys can help with, safely, thus learning life skills! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@smilertiler1]

Can't imagine I'm alone in saying I'm in awe of you. My fav thing on the tubes at the moment.

[@ed2245]

Building is looking good. One man crew. Great job

[@Spence321]

I didn't know that I got a man cage! Congrats!

[@mikepetitt9624]

Sam thats very impressive you were able place those trusses your self! And score that attachment to your tractor just paid for itself! So smart! You are so motivating ! Looks like I’m going to be able to start my shop build in the next several weeks .

[@Samcraftcom]

Saweeeet!!!! You'll have to feed me update photos on your shop. :)

[@ericjohnson1008]

Sam is knocking this project out of the park. Keep it up you've got this.

[@IntenseVisuals]

Just last week I was wondering if I could do this solo. Looks like I can. Super helpful video!

[@carolyncarlson3825]

Sam I cannot believe that you've done this all on your own that is totally incredible. You never cease to amazes me....Hugs

[@SangRunner]

Great job, but it would have been a little slower without your tractor operator who did a great job.

[@dalecherry4044]

Good job Sam. When I was in the seventh grade I passed by a house being built. One man did all the work himself. It was a two story A frame. He even built the brick chimney to the peak. Tenacity and determination pays off. 👍👍

[@Samcraftcom]

That is awesome!

[@Ladythyme]

I do love to watch how you work it’s so organized …..Ingenuous!…except for the forgetting the drill part! 😂😂😂

[@debbydrach]

You are a roofer rockstar ! 👏👏👏 I hope you weren’t in those terrible storms last night, my granddaughter was, but she’s ok !

[@beckypage6041]

You definitely got the Scaffold shuffle dance down to a fine art. Building is looking great. Hope everyone is ok after yesterday storm rolling through. Take care

[@michaelsnell4034]

Put a 2 by gusset inside of your rake boards to keep them from moving. those toe-screwed fasteners can split out easier than fasteners through the face. The easiest way to measure one is to just trace it and cut it out.

[@emilasmith4279]

Seriously amazing that you did that solo! Wow!!! Great job and loved the trick to stack the trusses to make for easier work! Very impressed!

[@robertbankhead8661]

Amazing Sam! Well done! Guessing that is a 4/12 pitch roof. Screwing it all should be extra stout especially with the hurricane ties. Would love to see a cost analysis / overview when it’s done. You’re rocking the shop!

[@danmaantaya1749]

I'm enjoying your build and simple instructions. I need to build a similar structure for my wife and I in the near future. Thank you.

[@AlmostHomestead]

Wow! Looks great. I was proud of myself for building a 6 x 10 shed. Haha! Amazing job buddy. Great to see your son being able to help.

[@sooome9294]

It is remarkable that you did that by yourself and the timeframe you did. Give yourself a pad on the shoulder. 👏👏👏

[@sbraudrick]

The "permanent story stick" is a solid idea for sure!

[@B.Cote39]

Putting trusses up yourself !! Man i wish i was closer because id pf helped ya !!!

[@affordabledesertliving3487]

Not only is the work done top notch the editing on the vids are great. I was like expecting some 18 year old to be driving the tractor not a little guy! LOL. Great tractor skills for a young one for sure!

[@lindaleach7954]

Sam, you are amazing! I would not have imagined that you could do that by yourself! You are so very talented!

[@svnelliejowestsail3222]

This is a channel that you hit the like button before even watching! Love the content and your commentary.

[@Samcraftcom]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@rockhouse9756]

Excellent job! Nice to see the young man handle that tractor so well.

[@Hosty_Tim]

Gooooooood afternoon, Sam, Angela & boys.

[@B.Cote39]

Off a ladder at that holy 😮your awesome man!

[@mrs.c9174]

You amaze me what you’re able to accomplish by yourself! You’re like an 🐜!

[@heffe2001]

It amazes me that you and the boys got that knocked out as quickly as you have (and they're picking up life skills I sure wish I would have had the opporunity to learn at their ages). And engineered trusses are definitely the way to go on something that size, for sure...

[@roberthughes2665]

People get psyched out by projects but most people can do a ton more than they think they can. Don't limit yourself by not trying. If you can't do it.. just ask for help or pay someone to give you a boost. Believe in yourself!!!!!

[@doloresbingham7956]

Great job Sam it’s coming along so nice. Be safe God bless.

[@quarrel05]

Damnnnnn man I’m so proud of you! I’m super excited to see the rest!

[@CT-yl3oj]

Your struggles are about to be mine. 😂 Got my piers poured today. Thankfully I'm doing 2x6 trusses so I won't need as many. Thanks for the videos!

[@Samcraftcom]

You got this!

[@GlennBennettJr]

Make sure to add the 2x4 blocks on top of the drop gable between the eaves before you sheet the roof. love that rolling platform.

[@leahhyer9448]

Great Job! Sharing this with my Son to prove it can be done.

[@Samcraftcom]

Awesome! You can do it!

[@beckyisabell4324]

Can’t believe your accomplishments on this job.

[@cindyfinn4845]

What is the saying "necessity is the mother of invention" I love watching .

[@melanieeaton3344]

Thank you Sam for the entertaining educational video. The building is amazing to me. Blessings from Oregon.

[@judysebold1436]

Lol 😂 that’s amazing, you are one smart cookie, love 💕 your videos, can’t your wife help you with some of that? You always worked together on other things, God bless!!

[@Samcraftcom]

Not anymore, no. Her back limits her abilities on what she can do now. This kind of work is an absolute no go for her unfortunately.

[@judysebold1436]

Praying for her recovery, would love to see more of her in the video, even if she doesn’t do anything, love ❤️ you guys

[@makertime6296]

That is what you call DIY! Great job sir!

[@Samcraftcom]

Thank you very much!

[@apjfirearms2707]

Awesome ! Some very good tricks and tips when building by yourself ! Your explanations of how to do stuff the correct way is very helpful, Good Job!

[@Samcraftcom]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@christinemck7033]

You are very smart Sam to do this alone. Very good.

[@edblough4134]

Wow! What a difference between you now and when you did the roof on the mobile home in Carolina.

[@renditionworks6318]

Dude you are the whole reason I just bought an Xtool S1 and am trying to get into the business. Mad props on your new build.

[@Samcraftcom]

Awesome!! I am REALLY looking forward to getting to use the S1 more too!

[@suesweetpea7]

AWESOME JOB SAM, YOU ALWAYS AMAZE ME WITH YOUR WORK. I PRAY Y'ALL ARE SAFE .

[@marcbarash6045]

Great Job so far, you are doing magic

[@lindapeterson7166]

Hi Sam Angela & boys,it all looks amazing.You have done such a awesome job on your shop.Elijah is such a great kid to help out when you need him.🎄❤️🎄

[@Samcraftcom]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@steveh1256]

Great channel. I’m doing a solo house build. Just getting started and from what I’ve sent so far your channels will be a wealth of info. Subscribed. Thanks!

[@Samcraftcom]

Awesome, best of luck!

[@deannaoverstreet4146]

Great Job Sam! Love watching your videos! God bless your family!

[@eddieorrantia5876]

Thank you Sam for your videos. A lot of very useful information.

[@skyhawk36]

Nice job getting all that stuff done, it still amazes me sometimes when I think you would need help and then you do it all by yourself!! Keep up the really nice work!!

[@loulauer5853]

Super job Sam! You killed it! Those gable trusses were interesting. I've never seen that method before. Looks way more stable than building the 'ladder' sections.

[@Samcraftcom]

I think they are, too. This was my first time working with prebuilt trusses and it was a VERY nice experience. 5-stars, will do it again. :)

[@johncolley7643]

I think this has been the best most enjoyable series of videos on one project I’ve ever seen, I’m already looking forward to the roof going on keep up the good work 👍

[@Samcraftcom]

Wow, thank you!

[@TheElectronMan]

Looking really good! Nothing like taking on something like this and seeing all that planning come to together, feels good doesn't it...

[@Samcraftcom]

It sure does! Thanks

[@tamora.monique]

BRAVE! DETERMINED! WOW!

[@mikestansberry8656]

Very impressive. Wouldn't change anything you did.

[@brendahogue5487]

May the lord bless and protect you and your family and building roof traus for the samcraft work shop

[@DuchesnesCorner]

Looking great! ❤ We do the same for holding the trusses in place but put the boards on top. Then, you can slip the next truss under it. Then, when you start sheeting the roof, you can remove them as you come to them. No wasted wood built into the attac...

[@conniemitchell5725]

Your a great job sam!! I been watching all the videos of workshop!! Well I've been watching guys forever never cease to amaze me!! You'll are great as a family!! Can't wait to see when your done!😊

[@Samcraftcom]

Thanks 👍

[@suzylarry1]

can't move a mountain over night , but you are sure giving it a go day by day . I have done these truss lifts for many a year and each time I show a new hire how to lift them from ground ,as I nailed , they were sometimes lost. You do make it look easy , which it is after you do one or two . On , one/half or two story , I would place 2-2x4 step splice slides on the gable end and ground crew could push the truss half way then I could pull and slide the truss to the opposite end , nail and block . You are doing a great job on your own !

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

Looking great, Sam. You did awesome that you did so much of that by yourself.

[@aussiegolddogcnc3d412]

Wow you done really well putting them up by yourself. Well done. Cheers. 😊

[@lindaharalson3729]

It's looking awesome Sam.

[@brendaunland4407]

Sam the scaffolding is a time, back and leg saver. I used one too after my house got smoke damage. Cleaning, painting 10 ft ceilings. Glad you decided to go that route. And your work shop is looking mighty fine . Love watching your channel.

[@debralawler-nt9si]

The building is coming along wow what a nice workshop

[@dabruscar]

Well done Sam, you are buzzing along.

[@ruthbrown2186]

Wow that was amazing solo roof, amazing.

[@hafeezurrahman1000]

Great work ❤. I like the scaffolding idea.

[@Andbygrace7024]

Incredible videography properly shows the excellent work

[@jesusislord2457]

Wtg Sam!!! I love watching you! I learn so much more from you in one video than I ever did in yay who and sirs! 🤜 Say hi to Angela and the boys! ✌️💖🙏

[@sandraanddelgray3180]

Your the man, Sam. Awesome

[@conniemitchell5725]

You have great fore thought sam! Save yourself time!

[@michaelcone6968]

I think you did a great job!!!

[@dennisg.wallace5445]

Two sandwiches, chips and a cold glass of milk and I could watch you all day😊

[@bonniemontroy4040]

Great job, love your attention to detail

[@reidkrabillbmx]

Do you have a nail gun? I built a 500 sq ft addition in 2018 and a friend recommend I buy a nail gun. So glad i did. I've built a few more additions and a shed since then. Way faster than screws. And screws don't typically meet code.

[@moalf5088]

Amazing what one man can do!!!

[@troyboy4345]

You are doing a fabulous job Sam .... All the best from Yorkshire in the UK !

[@hdrider2319]

I love those birds in the background at 15:20!

[@scottspillanesr]

The roof trusses are a beautiful work of percision.

[@Samcraftcom]

They sure are! I really enjoyed seeing them up there all nice and uniform. :)

[@magnusltd]

Nice Sam! Just plain AWESOME!!

[@T-Cat777]

Sweet berries and jam, thank you Sam.

[@angelacross2216]

Fantastic videography. Thanks for sharing.

[@scottbyrd2157]

Good job Sam!! Stay safe!!

[@dorisantwine]

you always amaze me with your ability to get things done and explain everything so completely. Merry Christmas to you and your Family

[@Samcraftcom]

Thank you! Merry Christmas to you and yours too!

[@sharonyerrell3748]

Amazing my lord on your own

[@montana4939]

Looking great !

[@EngineerMikeF]

Fyi on those ladder blocks over the drop truss at gables, 4ft o.c. is plenty. Once you put in blocks over the drop truss you have a 2ft x 4ft framing box for nailing roof ply. Easier to insulate, half the ladder blocks + 1, half the gable blocks, plenty of cantilever strength. Cudos for the 1 man crew.

[@GeorgeKauffman-w6g]

Amazing work! Looks strong. Impressive.

[@jkholley1118]

Looking good Sam. Kicking butt

[@abc123xyz-q2p]

Really enjoying this build series.
