This Garage Has To Be Built TODAY! MY DIY

[@purplereign0903]

Buddy you impressed me, it's absolutely amazing to see you build a garage from the ground up solo!!!!

[@MyDIYAdventures]

Thanks!

[@jimmason5738]

I work by myself. I'm a plumber. Good help is hard to find. And I hate being a boss. Been this way a lot if years and now I'm close to retiring (ha) so, no need to change now. I like what I do.

[@MyDIYAdventures]

Same here, I didn’t enjoy managing a crew…and I hope to be able to retire someday before my body completely quits on me!

Holding that OSB like your 2nd job is a pizza maker...that is skill

[@MyDIYAdventures]

I used to be a pizza maker, maybe that’s where I got it from!

enjoy your videos

Thanks!

Should you show in more depth of the gable end when you cut the 2x4's more as of angles etc..

[@MyDIYAdventures]

There’s more videos that show more things

[@alonsonevarez2770]

Great job bro,

[@CtheG420]

I tell you what man, you impress the hell outta me. I watch tons of carpentry videos on youtube and i think your one of the better guys hands down. I'm always learning, and always wanting to learn, if i was to give advice I would say make it as informative as possible but also keep it raw and show the real days work, soo basically exactly what you've been doing! Shout out from Maine!

[@MyDIYAdventures]

Thank you for the input!👍

[@phillipmeyer493]

I enjoy and have learned. When cutting your end gable boards. Do you cut the top to follow the roof pitch or just a straight cut on both ends?

[@MyDIYAdventures]

They’re beveled to the roof degree.

[@phillipmeyer493]

@@MyDIYAdventures thank you!

[@ptlentz]

I may have already asked you this but how long should it take two guys to build this garage? I'm being quoted 5 weeks.

[@MyDIYAdventures]

5 weeks from breaking ground to final occupancy permit doesn’t sound unreasonable.

[@ptlentz]

@@MyDIYAdventures Sorry. The slab is already poured.

[@MyDIYAdventures]

When I had another carpenter working with me, we could frame, shingle, and side one this size in a week.

[@ptlentz]

@@MyDIYAdventures this is why you're my hero! :) Can I fly you out to California...bring your wife! Lots to see here on the central coast!

[@MyDIYAdventures]

I wish that was possible!

[@jamesbrett567]

Beautiful work! I would love to know how to do this. Where are you where it’s so hot in June?

[@MyDIYAdventures]

Just in the Midwest 🤷‍♂️

[@alfredovargas616]

I framed my own garage, exactly like this and the inspector did Not allow it. Im also in California where if your a homeless bum your free to build anything on a sidewalk.

[@MyDIYAdventures]

Maybe you should have built your garage on the sidewalk!

[@alfredovargas616]

😆 I really should have. I'm taking apart, because he's asking for engineering plans, and for me to cut my slab up for inspection.

[@chiwy909]

That's exactly why I leave out from California to Texas ,

[@stevelopez372]

@@chiwy909 Sure I get the Commifornia label . But in Texas the Developers/ Contractors are Building Houses as Crappy as they can get away with and that’s not Good for the Home Buyer. Lol.

[@stevelopez372]

@@alfredovargas616 Sorry to hear that. However when someone takes the stance that it’s easier to ask for Forgiveness than to ask for Permission. You always want to Document and take lots of pictures especially when pouring concrete. Lol.

[@houndsmanone4563]

Nice work. It's tough working in that scorching heat but you got it done. Have a fine weekend. 👍🏽🤠 6/3/223

[@MyDIYAdventures]

Been working all weekend!

[@jdmath]

I have enjoyed every type of video you've posted. Whatever you're posting about a build is good to me. Sorry I am no help. Just subscribed to the other channel. Thanks for sharing the videos.

[@MyDIYAdventures]

Thanks for the input!

[@knotoz]

For a 16ft wide door, how long should your header be? I'm planning on building a garage through menards and the are sending a 17ft long lvl header. Can i cut the header down to 16ft 6" if needed?

[@MyDIYAdventures]

With jack studs and 1 1/2” trim, overhead door headers come to 16’9”

[@nicholasjohn1001]

I know on this particular job, using trusses probably wouldn’t be feasible because of space, but is hand framing cheaper for you? I would think using trusses would save some time? Or is it pretty much a wash?

[@MyDIYAdventures]

It’s pretty much a wash, and honestly, I can throw the rafters up quicker.
