I'm 45..... there isn't a week that goes by that I don't mourn not having a father in my life. I didn't realize how much it affected me until later in life.... when I started to desire a family of my own. Guys who have a good dad in their life have no idea to how blessed they really are....
I hear you loud and clear. I lost my father 30 years ago. I'm 58 years old now. I miss him every day. Don't ever forget to tell your own children how much you love and support them. My dad did that for me and it paid dividends.
This is a good book. Does provide a step by step introduction to how to build things ruclips.net/user/postUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 , also does offer some steps. Includes pictures to give you ideas for layouts and such. If you are looking for a guide, this is not exactly what you want. But if you are trying to familiarize yourself with the way that pole barn building and other out buildings, are made, then this will work just as you need it to. A few things in this book are a barn (of course), detached garage, storage building, and coops.
@@00ChronicMan00 we all know you never turn out to be anything in life. Just stay on the Internet being angry at everything you see 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Bitter old man 😭😭😂😂
Hey guys I’m so sorry I left out the 22x24’ Concrete pad cost. it cost around $3500 in materials! stick around we have some electrical and interior finishes going in next on my dads awesome new garage. Thank you all!
@@ProjectDadLife Indeed! I was just thinking about the $1200 in materials I spent when building about 100ft of fence. I rounded things up and you still did this for around $17k, which is around the price of a carport metal building. I prefer this, so it gives me hope. Thanks for sharing!
Was wondering the size at beginning of the vid.. Want to do a similar size 24x24 but do all the work myself. I already had an idea of what to do, but this gives me some more ideas. Good job!
I found when I ordered my materials the lumber counter suggested I just have my roof trusses made up and delivered assembled and honestly the price wasn't that much more and saved me a days worth of messing around.
Great job loved the video. I built my 24x24 garage 4 years ago with my brother for just a tick under $10.000. That includes subbing out the concrete work. It was a fun project and every one that help build it, was over 62 years old and me being the oldest at 69. None of us are in the building trades. Sweat Equity helps, ya got to love it.
I built my own 30'x30' garage. Hired concrete guy 10'*30' $2000. Bought Home Depot trusses $2000. .DIY everything else. Framing, wrap, 1/4" styrofoam, 1/2" OSB, felt, better shingles, Aluminum trim (David Olson helped), Vinyl siding, insulation, drywall, HotDawg heater, Epoxy floor, full electric, 24' pedboard, 24' workbench, attic ladder, blown in insulation, 9' ceiling, well built, still proud of that - AND - I know what I'm doing now.
@ryanncushway8384 I think I got a quote from a contractor for 30000 that's why I tried to do it myself and I think my total cost was 9000 if I remember correctly. This is back in year 2000. basically demoed a 2 car garage and Just had to do some minor grading behind the garage, form it up and I had the contractor place the concrete. Cause I had a full-time job at the time.. I just remember I measured 2 sides of the garage and assumed the contractor for the original foundation and floor in a rectangle he didn't. It was 4 inches out of rectangle so when I place the walls right alongside the edge of the concrete. By the time I got up to the roof I realized I was 4 inches out of square. I took a little bit of work to finish the roof but I suppose, it was still the best way to do. It looks good around the bottom. You can't tell at the top. I did a good job sealing and insulating everywhere, so I know when it was 20° outside, the hot dog heater would only run for 5 minutes per hour and would maintain a 65° inside very efficient. 2 man doors 2 garage doors.. Then I expanded the driveway myself. I got the tow behind concrete trailer about six yards three trips. Fun times.
Man the part I’m glad you acknowledged and stated for us to comprehend was thanks for trusting me. I have a wonderful stepfather that taught me a lot but he never trusted me. At 40 years old, I strive for him to see my achievements and recognize them. I am very heavy on the diy approach. Learned a lot myself. To this day, even trying to offer my step father driving directions that avoid major highways or congestion is received with a brush off. He knows better. I’m a father now, and I always stop when my kids come up and say can I try. Could be screwing something in, could be mowing or even using the blower. It all matters to them. They move on quickly so no matter how much of a hurry you think you are in, stop. Let them get involved. You never know, that memory you created might be the inspiration for them to be like you later on in life.
Nice video, the ending made me tear up. I lost my father 13 years ago but every day feels like it was yesterday. My siblings and I were his helpers and we did a lot of DIY projects all the time. Great video. Enjoy watching them.
I built, with help from my son and his friend, a 28 x 24 two story garage. Did the same, hired out roofing, siding and garage door. Drew up the plans on graph paper to scale.
Nice video. Thanks for posting. I’m happy to see that you and your dad have a great relationship! The older I get, the luckier I feel to spend time with my dad.
Great project thanks for sharing and providing costs. I love the siding approach, it looks simple and clean. I think you should read some of the other comments below to snure your dad's safety and that roof stay on the garage! Adding some additional collar ties (we normally go in 1/3 of the way up from the top plate - but if your snow load is low you might just add them at every rafter (same height you already did), hurricane clips are definitely needed,. The gable end comment below can be handled simply when building- as you use the plywood to connect between the two - 4x8 sheets installed vertically. at this time you could fix this easily by installing plywood on the inside between the 8' wall and the gable end . No building inspections for this project? this is where the building inspections could have provided some value to you, to actually help you as you go! Also no electricity? maybe not given the distance from the house. But if I were budgeting, I would add the cost of electricity. thanks for the great video!
I remember back in the late 79s, my dad and I built a shop like this on my uncle's property. The difference is I don't think we put the spacers in the concrete slab as you did and we installed "J" bolts for the walls while pouring the concrete. I saw the shop around 2010 after my grandmothers funeral where the family gathered for the will reading. It looked great and no problems. What it cost? I have no idea. It was something my dad and uncle worked out, I was just a teenager then. Otherwise we did mostly what you did here. Except, we had to muscle the walls up, no tractor to help and did all the work ourselves, including siding, roofing and electrical. It was the 70's in an unincorporated county in Florida, what'd ya think? 😁
Looks good. I built my garage myself as well. 22 x 32 with steel roof. My son dug and poured the footer, I payed the block and built the garage. Total cost 9600.00. That included having a company pour a cement floor for 3200.00
any vid showing son and dad working together is going to be a winner and a must watch so before he gets started he has an advantage. Good project few bits I don't agree with but still get my 9.5/10. This is more than a project re a shed its a family interaction and work ethic display
Wish i had a dad to do something like this for. Ive never got to meet mine and my adoptive dad passed away when i was 4. Cherish this for sure. Its the little things in life
Came out great. I miss doing projects with my dad, he passed earlier this year. Now im looking into shop space/garage for personal use and it feels a bit challenging without being able to bounce ideas off him. Miss him a lot. Good job guys!
California... grade,dig,form,pour,(permit 1500) turn key job on 20 x 20 8 foot walls...16,900 includes labor @ 100 an hour, 2 man crew. wall ties 48" oc. 2x8 rafters @ 24" oc, 5/8 sheating on roof
Awesome to work with your dad. My son disowned me recently and I have no idea why. No argument or nothing. Literally broke my heart. Hardest thing I ever dealt with. Makes absolutely no sense to me. Anyway you’re a good son , and your dad’s a lucky man. If I may suggest one thing , you really should consider putting ceiling joists up. They hold the walls together. Those collar ties won’t cut it. Your ridge will look like an old horse and the side walls will be pushed way out of plumb. Nice looking building otherwise.
Jim, I'm sorry you're having problems with your son. Please reach out to him and make an effort to talk to him to get to the bottom of why he is acting that way.
@@Gidono thank you for your kind and thoughtful words. I have tried but he won’t answer my calls or texts. He lives 2,000 miles away in California. It breaks me everyday. Thanks again, definitely appreciate it.
@@jimyounger9490 I feel your pain. I have two daughters that have done the same. I've tried everything. There comes a time when you just have to let it go brother. It's hard but you have to face the fact he is a grown man and is responsible for his own actions. The only thing in life you can control is yourself.
I know why you subbed that siding out. That Hardie 4x8 siding is HEAVY. Nice looking garage. Looks like you extended the slab out beyond the building. What is going to prevent water from running under the walls, in a blowing rain? I would have liked to see monolithic slab incorporating a perimeter curb, except for the garage door opening, so water can’t get under the walls. My garage has that, but the separate shed does not, and is built with concrete at the same level as the floor plate. Water runs under the concrete and gets inside. I see the plate at the same level, and the siding extended all the way down to the concrete at the drive way too. Your plate is going to soak up water on all four sides, and the concrete will be wet inside. Maybe I’m not seeing something here. In my area, we also require a double bottom plate, at least four inches above any surrounding concrete, such as extended slabs, driveways and walk ways. A concrete curb will provide for that.
The picture at the end tells the story, spend time with your Dad, some of the best times of your life, you and your Dad did a excellent job on your garage, hope you spend many years working together in your new Garage what a great story, always remember you only have one Dad, this story shows how much care about your Dad, I Congratulate you both, excellent video one of the best, SUBSCRIBED.
Your dad seems proud of the job you guys did. I couldn’t build that here for your cost. We are required to use yellow pine for our roof framing and we need inspections for everything.
You weren't kidding about turk hanging out. That's awesome. I'm hoping to build a detached garage at my house in a couple of years... never built a building but I've done some deck work, framing basement remodel, etc. Most ambitious project yet but I really enjoyed watching your build come together. I think I can handle it!
Great looking shop! Certainly an admirable and noble thing to do with your dad. Just fyi....i had a 20x20 workshop built by Tuffshed in 2020. The total cost with slab was around $15k. Workshops are the bomb!
Not sure your location but if you get any kind snow or wind I would seriously recommend having a qualified framer at a minimum to look at your roof. No way that was permitted or inspected. Probably add 2000 to your costs to get a properly framed, permitted, and inspected garage. You’re selling hopes and dreams to guys on your estimates.
Agreed, if those are 2x6 rafters, you have to support ever 8-10 feet to load bearing wall/beam. Any significant snow load this thing deflect tremendously
It always surprises me that people don’t think to build lofts over new garages like this especially in the south where there are no basements. It’s the perfect place to put boxes, seasonal items, extra storage, small workshop, extra tools, etc. Heck some folks turn them into studio apartments or in-law sweets. But the main benefit is the extra storage so that you can actually use the garage for cars not extra stuff. It’s not really all that much more expensive to add a higher pitch to the gables to create that space and create the loft space. Other than that very nice build.
I would've put 1 course of block first then built my walls. I didn't see you put any sil seal down though. You need that so the bottom plate doesn't rot from contact with the concrete.
Pretty sure he used sill seal(I think it was pink) and I'm pretty sure the bottom plates are PT but I'll check. Yea.. 1:40 you can see the roll and they pre attach it to the bottom of the bottom plate. But 100% I would have done a course of block or a 1ft curb of concrete with some 4 or 5 bar in it doweled into the pad
One thing I do notice,your building is too close to the ground. Any bounceback water from the roof will hit the lower part of the wall. Also running your slab out front flat means water can get into the building. Using OSB is really bad because water and OSb result in mush. You need ties and wind braces From the front and back walls to the peak. I use hurricane ties made from metal strapping that comes around lumber deliveries. Nail a piece to the sidewall stud over the rafter and down to the sidewall.
@@chrisloesch1870 Perhaps a modified post and beam using nails,purlins and metal screw on roofing as siding? the Pand B carrys the weight. The braces brace the structure. Horizontal purlins are what You attach your siding to. The Amish do this a lot. They donot use mortise and tenon P AND B. Metal siding wont rot from water and the finish is good for years.
Me and my brother in-law built a 24x30 x10 tall wall. the only work we paid for was the concrete. Once we had it all roughed in and roofed and windows and doors in. I finished the siding my self. And wired and dry walled . I used pole barn siding for the ceiling . Which worked well as it is allready painted and is lighter then dry wall. Great job guys
@@taylorbirkey6304 it was 25 years ago I bought a garage kit from a lumber yard $6500. I think with footing and concrete I had about $9500. In to it. Not counting the interior walls and ceiling and electrical. I think the grand total was about 12000.00 that included a 18 x 25 concrete driveway . Check your local lumber yard for garage kits as they include every thing you need for the building.
Awesome video! as a 30yr metal roofer, only thing I would add is to the deck roof with osb. Would be less than another 1000$. It gives metal roofs so much better wind up lift protection (dont remember the Miami-Dade result numbers) but its significant! Also, you will enjoy the insulation factor in the summer time.
7:59 - That's epic that your dad has a wild turkey that just comes around and hangs out like that! I have tons of whitetail deer around my property, but none of them are _that_ tame.
i'm not an engineer but does anyone stagger the OSB joints anymore? in my mind it seems like it would tie the walls together better but i have no idea if someones run the numbers on that or not
You don’t need to stagger wall sheeting, as long as all the edges have a stud or blocking. It is only about 10% stronger in a sheer wall application. Local codes may require something different due to wind or earthquakes. Some good articles about it in the journal of light construction
We've been quoted some ridiculous prices on builds. What about the concrete pad? How much was that? I've been told that is the biggest expense on a garage...
@Project Dad Life- what State are you in? $1200 for material is way cheap. I just built a 14x10 deck and spent 2900 in material no roof just deck and hand rails and steps
That's awesome get to work with your dad , You probably should have used anchor bolts you would probably save some money , My dad passed over 10 years to go, I would love to have done something like this with him. Keep it the good work
Ive built houses for 15 years and i have never seen a house or garage have completed hardy siding and not a single sheet of osb on the roof lol. It looks awesome tho very clean detail in the hardy siding nice build!!
Holy cow...I built the same size garage 30 years ago for a thousand dollars. Only thing I didn't put in a garage door, used it for a storage shed. Cement cost $300 and the garage cost $700. I used plastic siding. Did it all myself....
Construction material prices are insane these days. I got a quote to rebuild my dilapidated garage a few years ago for $32k I thought that was crazy so I would wait and build it myself. Then there was the Canadian lumber tariffs, then the pandemic shutting down saw milles and lumber yards, then the housing boom, then the price gouging of 2021-2022. I got another quote at the end of 2022 for $58,000.
I’ve never seen straps used as braces, definitely need more braces also to keep the walls straight. Also never take off your braces until your roof has plywood on it. Also I would’ve put ceiling ties every 4 foot. Rafter ties. Good flashing tips but your roof will be sagging in a few years and I imagine the soffit and fascia are bowed
Man that was beautiful!!! I'm like your dad when comes to being videoed :). Never seen a gent pull a tape hook out with his teeth like that... awesome!
why not pour a precast raised exterior ledge/foundation for the sill plates? Not concerned about water/insect damage with soil pressing up against the sill plates?
Did you do any static calculations for your project? What thickness is the concrete foundation ? What are the expected snow loads in your region? I am watching from germany and i am looking for some ideas for my garage project.
Do you guys get snow? I'm curious about your roof. You said ridge beam, but what you have is just a ridge board. Looks like you kinda combined the collar tie and a rafter tie into one. But you should have both. And the rafter tie should be at max, 1/3 gable height from the bottom of the roof. With yours being so high, I would expect the side walls to bow out and the roof itself to sag over time. Are you not concerned about this?

I would have liked to see monolithic slab incorporating a perimeter curb, except for the garage door opening, so water can’t get under the walls. My garage has that, but the separate shed does not, and is built with concrete at the same level as the floor plate. Water runs under the concrete and gets inside. I see the plate at the same level, and the siding extended all the way down to the concrete at the drive way too. Your plate is going to soak up water on all four sides, and the concrete will be wet inside. Maybe I’m not seeing something here. In my area, we also require a double bottom plate, at least four inches above any surrounding concrete, such as extended slabs, driveways and walk ways. A concrete curb will provide for that.
The picture at the end tells the story, spend time with your Dad, some of the best times of your life, you and your Dad did a excellent job on your garage, hope you spend many years working together in your new Garage what a great story, always remember you only have one Dad, this story shows how much care about your Dad, I Congratulate you both, excellent video one of the best, SUBSCRIBED.
Wow! I figured you would go with roof trusses! Hats off to old school.
You & your dad will cherish this build done together...
Right on Bro..
Your work is second to none may God continue to bless you and your family outstanding work. Bottom line
Good man!! I can really appreciate a human being like that. God bless.
Thanks for watching!
Your dad seems proud of the job you guys did. I couldn’t build that here for your cost. We are required to use yellow pine for our roof framing and we need inspections for everything.
Thank you. Yeah here it’s a little laid back with building on private property.
Where do you live, Commiefornia?
Father and son, what a beautiful thing.
You weren't kidding about turk hanging out. That's awesome.
I'm hoping to build a detached garage at my house in a couple of years... never built a building but I've done some deck work, framing basement remodel, etc. Most ambitious project yet but I really enjoyed watching your build come together. I think I can handle it!
Great looking shop! Certainly an admirable and noble thing to do with your dad.
Just fyi....i had a 20x20 workshop built by Tuffshed in 2020.
The total cost with slab was around $15k.
Workshops are the bomb!
Not sure your location but if you get any kind snow or wind I would seriously recommend having a qualified framer at a minimum to look at your roof. No way that was permitted or inspected. Probably add 2000 to your costs to get a properly framed, permitted, and inspected garage. You’re selling hopes and dreams to guys on your estimates.
Agreed, if those are 2x6 rafters, you have to support ever 8-10 feet to load bearing wall/beam. Any significant snow load this thing deflect tremendously
It always surprises me that people don’t think to build lofts over new garages like this especially in the south where there are no basements. It’s the perfect place to put boxes, seasonal items, extra storage, small workshop, extra tools, etc. Heck some folks turn them into studio apartments or in-law sweets. But the main benefit is the extra storage so that you can actually use the garage for cars not extra stuff. It’s not really all that much more expensive to add a higher pitch to the gables to create that space and create the loft space. Other than that very nice build.
And a great place to hide the bodies. Ha
Hold on you didn't say how much for the framing material and the slab???
Hey Rob sorry about that the concrete materials were $3500 it’s a 22.5x 24.5”
How much was the framing and wood package?
@@williammiller4089 it's a 22.5' x 24.5' 🤣
@@williammiller4089he said it was $1200 in the beginning of the video.
@@ProjectDadLife Thank you sir!
I would've put 1 course of block first then built my walls.
I didn't see you put any sil seal down though. You need that so the bottom plate doesn't rot from contact with the concrete.
Pretty sure he used sill seal(I think it was pink) and I'm pretty sure the bottom plates are PT but I'll check. Yea.. 1:40 you can see the roll and they pre attach it to the bottom of the bottom plate. But 100% I would have done a course of block or a 1ft curb of concrete with some 4 or 5 bar in it doweled into the pad
One thing I do notice,your building is too close to the ground. Any bounceback water from the roof will hit the lower part of the wall. Also running your slab out front flat means water can get into the building. Using OSB is really bad because water and OSb result in mush. You need ties and wind braces From the front and back walls to the peak. I use hurricane ties made from metal strapping that comes around lumber deliveries. Nail a piece to the sidewall stud over the rafter and down to the sidewall.
I agree. Everyone is using osb but that disintegrates completely with water
@@chrisloesch1870 Perhaps a modified post and beam using nails,purlins and metal screw on roofing as siding? the Pand B carrys the weight. The braces brace the structure. Horizontal purlins are what You attach your siding to. The Amish do this a lot. They donot use mortise and tenon P AND B. Metal siding wont rot from water and the finish is good for years.
Me and my brother in-law built a 24x30 x10 tall wall. the only work we paid for was the concrete. Once we had it all roughed in and roofed and windows and doors in. I finished the siding my self. And wired and dry walled . I used pole barn siding for the ceiling . Which worked well as it is allready painted and is lighter then dry wall. Great job guys
How much did it cost?
@@taylorbirkey6304 it was 25 years ago I bought a garage kit from a lumber yard $6500. I think with footing and concrete I had about $9500. In to it. Not counting the interior walls and ceiling and electrical. I think the grand total was about 12000.00 that included a 18 x 25 concrete driveway . Check your local lumber yard for garage kits as they include every thing you need for the building.
Awesome video! as a 30yr metal roofer, only thing I would add is to the deck roof with osb. Would be less than another 1000$. It gives metal roofs so much better wind up lift protection (dont remember the Miami-Dade result numbers) but its significant! Also, you will enjoy the insulation factor in the summer time.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE PICTURE AT THE END........ SO GLAD YOU GUYS DID THIS.... CONGRATS
The turkey is a treasure - wow. This was a great build guys - congrats all around!
Gratz on the garage!
Enjoy your dad
Came out great. Looked like a fun project to work with your dad. The final cost was definitely less than I’d expected.
I miss my dad .He was the best!
7:59 - That's epic that your dad has a wild turkey that just comes around and hangs out like that! I have tons of whitetail deer around my property, but none of them are _that_ tame.
I know it crazy and he's so protective over my dad.
i'm not an engineer but does anyone stagger the OSB joints anymore? in my mind it seems like it would tie the walls together better but i have no idea if someones run the numbers on that or not
When I used to frame houses, we always staggered the joints on OSB. I was kinda surprised to see them line these up.
Kinda obvious he’s not a framer
It’s code here in Florida
Yes, youre always supposed to stagger it.
You don’t need to stagger wall sheeting, as long as all the edges have a stud or blocking. It is only about 10% stronger in a sheer wall application. Local codes may require something different due to wind or earthquakes. Some good articles about it in the journal of light construction
24x25 gives me an idea for the back yard garage/shed I’ll be getting done this coming week. This has me excited
Great! Thanks for watching!
Well, I built a lot. I would’ve included the frame, the concrete, the excavation, the electric, and everything else in that price.
We've been quoted some ridiculous prices on builds. What about the concrete pad? How much was that? I've been told that is the biggest expense on a garage...
My fav part is you & your dad. That bond! And Turk of course. Great job! Now come help me with mine😉
Thank you
looks good , nice to see you can still build a decent building relatively cheap
Thanks. Yep I think everyone is just over charging post Covid.
@Project Dad Life- what State are you in? $1200 for material is way cheap. I just built a 14x10 deck and spent 2900 in material no roof just deck and hand rails and steps
Just curious why the plywood sheathing was not staggered on the walls.?
I have also found that taking the extra few minutes to do the extra laying out makes assembly much easier.
you can use pressure treated 2x6 on the bottom plate with seal sealer, then when you do the 2x4 it gives you a ga0p to sit the osb on.
That's awesome get to work with your dad , You probably should have used anchor bolts you would probably save some money , My dad passed over 10 years to go, I would love to have done something like this with him. Keep it the good work
Looks great we usually offset the plywood when doing sheeting is that a common practice in your area
Nice video. Thx.
Enjoy your time with your dad, as often as possible. ❤️
so how much was the concrete, site work, and garage door?
and the concrete? electrical? plumbing? windows? doors? interior walls?
Nice garage something i would like and need. As for my dad his 90 yrs old still watches me work on my projects. Thanks.
Absolutely beautiful structure
Thanks for the support
Just wondering if a metal building would have cost the same or less and not much weathering and maintenance. Maybe it's just a curb appeal thing.
Ive built houses for 15 years and i have never seen a house or garage have completed hardy siding and not a single sheet of osb on the roof lol. It looks awesome tho very clean detail in the hardy siding nice build!!
looks good! you didnt need raftier ties/ceiling joist on the bottom of the rafters? what are the dimensions again? subbed!
Holy cow...I built the same size garage 30 years ago for a thousand dollars. Only thing I didn't put in a garage door, used it for a storage shed. Cement cost $300 and the garage cost $700. I used plastic siding. Did it all myself....
Good for you
Construction material prices are insane these days. I got a quote to rebuild my dilapidated garage a few years ago for $32k I thought that was crazy so I would wait and build it myself. Then there was the Canadian lumber tariffs, then the pandemic shutting down saw milles and lumber yards, then the housing boom, then the price gouging of 2021-2022. I got another quote at the end of 2022 for $58,000.
That’s a hell of a job. It looks nice.
Thank you
Great job guy's. Your an awesome son. Really enjoyed your video.
I’ve never seen straps used as braces, definitely need more braces also to keep the walls straight. Also never take off your braces until your roof has plywood on it. Also I would’ve put ceiling ties every 4 foot. Rafter ties. Good flashing tips but your roof will be sagging in a few years and I imagine the soffit and fascia are bowed
Wondering how much your slab work cost? I'm planning on building a 24 x24 detached behind our house.
$3500 I believe
Dad has a great smile. The garage is also nice. 😏
Man that was beautiful!!! I'm like your dad when comes to being videoed :).
Never seen a gent pull a tape hook out with his teeth like that... awesome!
why not pour a precast raised exterior ledge/foundation for the sill plates? Not concerned about water/insect damage with soil pressing up against the sill plates?
AWESOME JOB! FATHER AND SON PROJECT. Now all that garage needs is a 1932 Custom Hot Rod Coupe. LOL.
Hi. I see the sill gasket was attached to the underside of the bottom plate before you flipped it over…how did you attach it? Thanks! Great project
Thank you I used staples
Great job, great video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. And Turk does a great job as a supervisor!
Thanks Jakes! Thank you for the support.
The foundation that hangs out past the wall, how does the water get away from the wall?
Nice project, but Turk was the star of the show!🤣
Haha he so crazy thanks for watching
Do you plan to add a garage door? If so, how would you attach it without ceiling joists?
deal of the decade! in more ways than one.
Thank you
Did you do any static calculations for your project? What thickness is the concrete foundation ? What are the expected snow loads in your region? I am watching from germany and i am looking for some ideas for my garage project.
Hey saw the hat! I work at a place that we have done a couple of production runs for black rifle coffee in stick packet form! Awesome content too!
That’s cool thanks for the support!
Great project. Very informative. I'm starting my own garage build in 2 weeks, and it was very helpful to watch your video.
Thanks. Question: how much for the concrete?
Why didn't you stagger the OSB? What am I missing. TIP: get a triSquare 1.5 thick makes layout faster.
I forgot honestly 🤷🏻♂️ thanks
Did you square the walls before you put the plywood on
What was the cost of the concrete $$$.
Great job
Do you guys get snow? I'm curious about your roof. You said ridge beam, but what you have is just a ridge board.
Looks like you kinda combined the collar tie and a rafter tie into one. But you should have both. And the rafter tie should be at max, 1/3 gable height from the bottom of the roof.
With yours being so high, I would expect the side walls to bow out and the roof itself to sag over time. Are you not concerned about this?
Looks sharp. Nice choice of materials.
Why didn’t you guys stagger the rows of osb sheathing on the exterior walls?
Did you square the walls before you nailed the sheeting?
Did you have to have footing for the garage pad?
Question, would this type of truss system work for shingles or would that be too much weight for rafter ties?
Shingles would do fine! You would have to sheath the roof first though. So osb decking on the roofing before roofing
