@@DIY_or_DIE No blame for trying, just time consuming and you will still lose! LOL You spoke of floor beams or something going up before the rafters, use your tractor, rather than your body. Your backhoe should reach with one end, then slide it across. I have even used a chain to 2 corners of the frontend loader bucket to lift a build roof of 7 feet by 16 feet and lifted it right into place on the side of a shed. My Tractor is a 30 year old compact 25 HP with just the loader, It is amazing what they can do with some preplanning.

Women are always right! (Lowes). Don't mean this as a 'mean' comment but I live in Southern Oregon, the land of forest fires every summer and much discussion / education on fire defense. A couple of years ago we hundreds of homes lost in our area (Ashland, Talent, Phoenix). At ~7:00 in the vid you do a drone shot and I can't help but see all the trees right up to and around you're home - no defenses from fire risk. You might want to research fire issues / fire defenses and see what you think.

@axelruntschkeАй бұрын
@DIY_or_DIE those double top plates allow for you to do rafters on 24 inch centers. Each rafter does not have to sit on top of a wall stud.
@DIY_or_DIEАй бұрын
@axelruntschke I get the no snow load, but what do you use for live and dead load when sizing the ceiling joist and rafters? I probably overdesigned it a bit 😄
@axelruntschkeАй бұрын
@DIY_or_DIE Live and Dead Load is more for your subfloor. Dead load being the weight of your flooring, cabinets, interior walls, and furniture. Dead load rarely changes, unless you rearrange your furniture, but even that is pretty minor of a difference. Live load is the weight of you and your family and guests. Always moving around, causing minor movements in your subfloor, even smaller ones in your floor joists, and even down to your pillars (microscopic at that point), but Movement nonetheless. When it comes to your roof (down here in the south), your trusses or rafters only have to hold up the weight of your roof sheathing and shingles or metal. Also wind load. Trusses and rafters are more than capable of handling that load on a 24 inch center. Use 7/16 or 1/2 sheathing, and use plywood clips in the middle of each span. Add your underlayment (tar paper or Ice and Water Shield), and shingles or metal panels. Done deal. You'll save a bunch by going with 24 inch on center.
@axelruntschkeАй бұрын
Also, your ceiling joists are fine at 24 inches on center. Just use 5/8 inch drywall for the ceiling, and 1/2 inch for the walls. Install ceiling drywall first, followed by walls. Use 1/2 inch spacers under the wall panels to keep them up off the ground a bit. Helps in case you ever have a flooding situation in your house (like a burst pipe of washing mashine issue) so the water won't soak up into your drywall.
