For the people with no dad's... Become the father you never had!
I love this. Thanks
I tried to
I got a vasectomy instead.
My dad passed when I was 6. I couldn't wait to be a dad. It's amazing.
that's dumb just be a father regardless or don't have kids not rocket science 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
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.
Dead link for me. And looks like a RUclips link but for a book. Could you repost?
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.
Building akongside you Dad is the most important thing you did here. One day this will be a precious memory. Trust me
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!
@Project Dad Life Only $1200 for the framing and sheathing material (seems low)?
@@kookiedabear compared to what people are charging to build
Yes it’s extremely low.
@@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!
Was that you prepping the bass and just having it poured or somebody doing the whole slab beginning to end?
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.
That’s great sounds like you did an awesome job. It’s always the best being able to build your own stuff.
what was your final cost for it all? level ground or was there grading involved?
@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.
@billprinty3697 sheesh, I am looking at a 24x40 and the concrete guy was quoting about 25-30 after some very minor grading.
@ryanncushway8384 30 yards Concrete x 200= $6000 material, 1000sq.ft.x$15 labor, =$15000. Yeah quick calc.20K.Is close
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.
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.
The only drawback with trusses is that they eliminate so much overhead storage space.
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.
That’s awesome I bet that was a fun project! Thanks for the support
Who did your concrete
Great job guys!
Cherish that final picture, Time goes by so fast. I lost my dad a few years ago and it hurts every day.
Death isn't the problem. Forgetting though is. Good luck.
Sorry for your loss, same here I lost my dad 2 years ago and there are soo many if this if that in my head all the time.
absolutely right, lost my dad in December of '22. Miss our projects together.
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.
That's awesome, I miss getting to work with my dad, he passed 10 years ago but working with him was some of my best memories.
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 JOB! FATHER AND SON PROJECT. Now all that garage needs is a 1932 Custom Hot Rod Coupe. LOL.
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.
Thanks for sharing!
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!
Truly informative! I needed a reference that highlighted basic wood frame construction methods & techniques where ruclips.net/user/postUgkxYGamVaHfdHiPlAQaLa7zkwR02OKpGYDU were best. I am pleased with the depth and clarity of Ryan’s Shed Plans. It was really convenient to capture!
The wooden soffits are awesome - they make the whole garage look great in my opinion.
Yes they do
That's awesome to have such a great relationship with your Dad.
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.
You & your dad will cherish this build done together...
Right on Bro..
Much respect! Father Son relationships should be special and you guys seem to have that. Thanks for sharing.
Great Job and Nice working with your Pops! Great times and memories you'll have! Thanks for revealing costs and producing video.
Gratz on the garage!
Enjoy your dad
Wow! I figured you would go with roof trusses! Hats off to old school.
Nice video. Thx.
Enjoy your time with your dad, as often as possible. ❤️
I enjoyed this video, thanks for sharing! I don't normally comment but wanted to offer a few observations. Your gable end walls (at least as shown in the last interior shots) have a hinge due to the collar-tied vaulted roof rafters with the studs stopping at the double top plate and nothing to brace it. The front is actually worse than the back, because the header is upset into one of the plates, you're relying on a single top plate to span horizontally to the perpendicular walls for wind loading perpendicular to the gables, which definitely doesn't work if you were to put a number to it. Typically for a vaulted ceiling you would either balloon frame the gables (studs all the way to the roof sheathing), or use studs at a 45 (kickers, basically) running diagonally from the double top plate to the roof sheathing to brace the hinged wall studs.
Someone else mentioned hurricane ties, maybe they were added later on, but a strong wind will easily rip those rafters off if they're only toe-nailed in to the top plate. I also saw the other comment about the collar ties, while I agree they seem pretty high up, you'll find out pretty quickly after the first snow or hanging anything heavy from the roof rafters if you have a problem or not as the roof will start to sag and push the top of the walls out as the collar connection gets overloaded. Just offering up a few helpful tips, I'm a professional structural engineer on the West coast. Happy to help if you have any questions.
I build sheds exactly like this garage during the winter and everything you said is what I worry about even having no engineering background it seems obvious but there is nothing else included in the kit to reinforce the roof it really is just toenailed rafters holding the roof on and then the small overlap of the gable ends that is nailed together. They also ask us not to modify he sheds, kind of crazy.
@Justin Fenton Being a structural inspector in S. Florida for 35 years, I have to say you've brought up some great points across the board. The other option I considered was a hip roof that would take care of the front and rear hinge issues you mentioned with straps where required. Not mandatory, but venting wouldn't hurt either. Well done men!!
Rafter ties aka joist bottom 1/3 of rafter collar ties upper 1/3 of rafter. The whole foundation is too low and the siding is too low. It should have be a stem wall foundation with slab, its going to rot.
And yes the gable walls should have been ballon framed
@h2s142 that is exactly what happened to my buddy's dad's garage after a short number of years, no stem wall, and unfortunately the bottom wood rotted.
Awesome job, it warms my heart seeing you express your love for your dad through your work
Thank you so much!
Father and son, what a beautiful thing.
The turkey is a treasure - wow. This was a great build guys - congrats all around!
Use a framing square to make stud locations. They are made to mark both sides since it’s 1 1/2” wide
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.
I really like that you hire out smaller crews instead of big companies
Great project. Very informative. I'm starting my own garage build in 2 weeks, and it was very helpful to watch your video.
Good man!! I can really appreciate a human being like that. God bless.
Thanks for watching!
Nice garage something i would like and need. As for my dad his 90 yrs old still watches me work on my projects. Thanks.
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
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!
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!
Thank you. Great info and tips. Yeah no inspection just a tractor and mower garage really. Adding a little bit of electrical soon.
You guys are amazing. Great content.
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
That is awesome!
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!
Sorry about your dad that’s so hard. Hopefully you can adopt a sub dad. I’ve been trying friend a lady at church for a sub GMA.
Sorry to hear that! Thank
You
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.
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
Thank you
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.
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.
Looks sharp. Nice choice of materials.
Great job guy's. Your an awesome son. Really enjoyed your video.
Awesome job, it looks great.
I have also found that taking the extra few minutes to do the extra laying out makes assembly much easier.
Your work is second to none may God continue to bless you and your family outstanding work. Bottom line
Amen
My fav part is you & your dad. That bond! And Turk of course. Great job! Now come help me with mine😉
Thank you
Great video. Very instructive. When working for your Dad, you are paying it Backward as you should!!! 😮😂 Thanks again.
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
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.
I miss my dad .He was the best!
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!
Great Job. Love that garage. enjoy
Absolutely beautiful structure
Thanks for the support
Looks great we usually offset the plywood when doing sheeting is that a common practice in your area
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!!
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
My toxic trait is thinking I can do this with a couple of buddies
you can!
I'm going to try
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
Well, I built a lot. I would’ve included the frame, the concrete, the excavation, the electric, and everything else in that price.
DEFINITELY SUBSCRIBED! Nice build!
Thanks for the support! 👊🏻
Dad has a great smile. The garage is also nice. 😏
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!
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? 😁
That awesome a different world back then
BEAUTIFUL JOB GUYS ‼️‼️ Vinny 🇺🇸
very nice job. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Great work guys👍♥️
Thank you
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?
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
I am impressed. Good work .
Thank you very much!
Very nice job congrats
Thats nice to have money, acres of land, large mansion large garage all new cement. The garage is bigger than most peoples homes
Nice project, but Turk was the star of the show!🤣
Haha he so crazy thanks for watching
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.
Thank you!!
Great job love it
Thank you! 😊.
cool video, ty for sharing
Thank you
Awesome build
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers! .
I spy the T/A in the background... Great job!
NICELY DONE
Thank you!
Great job!
Thank you! Cheers!
That’s a hell of a job. It looks nice.
Thank you
looks good! you didnt need raftier ties/ceiling joist on the bottom of the rafters? what are the dimensions again? subbed!
Great job
Looks great ❤
Thank you! 😊
Looks great.
Thanks for the support
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.
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
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!
Not bad 12 grand dam very good work of art garage man cave 👏👍.
Right on!
That sweet car in the back!!
Would love to know more about that beauty 4:31
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.
@@nathanscott7910 thanks for your comment. And you’re absolutely right. My condolences back to ya.
He’s in California. That explains it all.
well built
Thank you
Cool video! I learned something today.
Any thoughts/words of wisdom on renovating a beat up detached garage?
