My 5 year old son has been interested in learning about "pipes and wiring" because he says he wants to build houses when he grows up. Now when he's allowed to have screen time he only wants to watch your channel. So thanks for providing quality educational content for my 5 year old! Because of your channel, my husband and brothers have an assistant studying up in his spare time. 😆

My son learned how to do concrete work through Job Corps. His first job out of Job Corps was for the city. He worked 8 years and never learned concrete stamping. I feel like a blessed lucky mom. Him and his construction buddies came over and did a backyard patio and walkway to my greenhouse. Took them one weekend to do. My oldest son is a roofer and he did the porch roof and some nice railings. It really added an extra room to enjoy in my rainy state. I just found your channel and I am binge watching. I am a professional painter so it’s nice to help each other and friends with your skills. I will be learning a lot of new skills from you! I am sharing your channel with my friends and family. Thank you for helping people to learn to do specific projects for their needs and everything involved.

Dude, Josh... you are the man! This step by step is terrific. I had a detatched garage built a few years ago. 20×24 was all i could afford since it had yo be brick siding to match our house. I wish it was bigger (of course). My first step will be to get an engineer to write so plans to build up thecattic space to yse as a second story built to floor load specs. After that, if I need it, i want to extend the length another 20 ft. Thus series will hrlp me get that done. Again, thanks for taking the time to film and post your projects.

So one detail I’ve started seeing with custom home builders is that they lay a bead of caulking down before applying the sill sealer and then again on top of the sill sealer before laying the bottom plate. Apparently it is an additional layer of protection against them pests bugs. I did it like that at my shop
@TheExcellentLaborer
@TheExcellentLaborer Жыл бұрын
A bead of caulk before the sill sealer would definitely add a layer of protection. I know after the weight of the walls and roof is pressing down on it, it should be a very good seal regardless. I hope everything is going good for you, Marcus. Good luck with your projects!

Not sure if anyone’s ever mentioned it, but it’s a good idea to add a second nut to each sill plate anchors to make sure it doesn’t come loose. Those things are notorious for either not being installed properly to begin with or coming loose over time

As always, so much great information on this project. Boy o wish i had help many years ago when I built a 2.5 car garage for my sister in Texas. After having all the cement work done and ready to build, it was all me. I didn't need to use a lvl beam on this project. When it came to settling the trusses, i just cradled them and swung them in place after I got my gable ends done and a stringer board across to plumb and fasten the trusses. Sheeting the roof and installing shake shingles to keep it looking like the house was a great project as well. The okd attached garage, i yhen made that an office area for her. All in all it was a wonderful project and glad I could help my sister out. Again, thanks for your wonderful information and glad I could understand everything you did on this build. Great job Josh 🔨👍🏻

Oh, very good! We set trusses by hand very often with my father when I was young. We actually never did use a crane until I started building as an adult. It’s so much easier using a crane, but will cost a little more! This one will look similar to my house when it is done as well. I hope all of your projects are going well for you, David.

A great video with so much quality information. The only detail that I found odd was offsetting your pressure treated sill plate and not lapping your sheathing onto it. I’m sure it’s fine jn most weather zones but in my seismic zone this wouldn’t be acceptable. You need that connection to secure your walls to the foundation. Those bolts are doing a great job holding that plate down, but now the whole garage is being held down by nails through the bottom plate.
@TheExcellentLaborer
@TheExcellentLaborer Жыл бұрын
Thank you! Yes, like I mentioned, I will go through with galvanized nails to secure the walls down to the sill plate. Also, if you angle the nails, it will help keep it held down, compared to nailing it down straight. Appreciate you watching. Good luck with your project.

I love you upper floor for storage! Wish i had done that. What criteria do you use to determine your roof pitch? I just went 4/12. Where i live, truss builders will actually sheet your gable ends and drop the gables as well so your over hang blocks actually attach to the truss in from the gable and go over top the gable end because they are dropped the thickness of a 2x4. Cost me extra though but made it so much easier. Do they do this where you are?
@TheExcellentLaborer
@TheExcellentLaborer Жыл бұрын
When it comes to roof pitch it’s typically a cosmetic preference. The other thing I look at is the amount of headroom I want for storage if I have room trusses just like the garage you see here. Where I am building you cannot do less than a 4/12. That is awesome. They give you that option! I actually have never asked, and they have never told me about that. I might ask them on the next build I do just out of curiosity. Thanks a lot for your input. Good luck with your project!

why do you place a sil plate and not just make the sil as the bottom plate of the wall? is it code or is there an advantage to this? i see it making a weaker less anchored wall to the foundation bolts. the offset of the wall to allow the sheeting to be flush with the sil plate. what i have seen and have been told is place the framing flush to the foundation and the sheathing goes out past the foundation to allow water run down to drip off outside of the foundation and not allowed to wick back up into the sil plate and foundation/slab allowing rot to occur. just asking?

If you were doing 2 x 4 walls, then 2 x 4 sill plates will work just fine. I hope that helps!

Once the trim board is on, I usually caulk to avoid a lot of water from going underneath of the trimmer. Of course, I’m sure, so I’m still gets back there, but I’ve never had an issue. Thanks for watching!

How did you get the two bottom sill plates to line up if you had the non PT offset by 1/2"? Was the PT sill plate dimensional?

Does sheathing placement affect structural integrity on 9 foot wall? For instance the 8 foot piece of sheathing comes just slightly above the lvl header

So my block work for my garage is exactly 16 wide for my 16x8 garage door . Building 9ft walls.. so do I have to cut off 1.5 inches each side for a rough opening 16ft 3inches? Thanks
@TheExcellentLaborer
@TheExcellentLaborer Жыл бұрын
Check with your garage door manufacture, but most garage doors rough opening is the actual dimensions. For instance, my garage door will be 16 foot wide and 8 foot tall. And that is exactly what my rough opening will be after it is trimmed out and everything. In your case, it sounds like you might have to build the walls on each side of the flush with the block opening. I hope that helps!
