DIY Covered Patio | Building A Roof To Cover My Concrete Patio | P1 Foundation, Framing & Roofing

- I’m starting the largest and most expensive single project I have ever attempted. We are attempting to transform our backyard into the ultimate hangout spot. It all starts in this video with the main attraction: a roof built over the existing concrete patio.
The design I came up with is a little different from many others that I have seen in the fact it uses trusses and only partially connects to the house. I share my process of digging the foundation, setting posts, installing beams, hanging trusses, and the roofing process. I made great progress late in the summer but then it slowed when I went back to teaching. In part 2 I will do all of the finishing work including electrical, wrapping the posts & beams, tongue and groove, fascia, soffit, gutters, and downspouts. Then in future videos there will be many more projects that aim to totally transform our backyard.

Thank for watching! Part 2: ruclips.net/video/3ypFFR-IxFc/видео.html shows the final product and price breakdown. Your comments have been great, thanks for the feedback and thoughts!
As a G.C.who has been in the trades for 30+years,I’m very impressed with your DIY project!Your willingness to tackle a roof tie in along with your attention to detail in your project and video is commendable!Also great to see you having your dad work along side you,I was lucky to have my carpenter father teach me all his trade secrets.Keep up the great work and look forward to seeing the next one!!Aloha from the big island!🤙🌴
It was a great job everything was perfect except for the 6x6s Post questionable talking to educated men telling you that it was okay to bury below concrete line 40 years is nothing in a building buildings last 100 plus years I I know I work on them all the time. 40 Years of short-sightedness on a main support post
@@samuelwotring633 Can't agree more then that, simply bury any wood below ground level should be avoided at all cost. Been say that, I might still use his way of setting with difference of give wood extra protection in ground with rubber wrap or some EZAC glued over below ground part. Why is that, cause setting post above required cross structural supports braces
and in this implementation will be hard to achieve similar final look result.
So far so good . Well done ! Congrats ……
My brother stay in Hilo.Big island is beautiful!
Trade secrets should be taught as much as possible. Now it is possible thanks to technology to reach a large audience.
OSHA here .. we approve the "reverse truss ladder slide" 🤣😂👍
Lol
Don't be embarrassed on how long the project takes you are a working dad. The project looks great can't wait to see the end result.
Don't apologize for delays. Life happens. People appreciate your honesty and straight forwardness. It's real life;not a show.
You’re a beast brother!!!!!!
The only thing I didn’t agree with was back filling the 6X6 posts with dirt.
I would of went with concrete (with a few long screws running through the posts before back filling with concrete for extra support).
I’m a GC and have seen these posts rot within 8-10 years. Not only that, termites will destroy any wood, pressure treated or not.
Other than that, your project looks great!!!!!🤙🏼😎
You never put concrete around wood post the acid in concrete rots the wood within 15 years
moisture in the dirt will rot the post in 10
Fantastic job. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the process. Your attention to detail and way you explained each step made it so easy to understand. Thanks for sharing! I'm looking forward to seeing the finished project!
Very nice project, young man. Even though you frequently reminded viewers that you were not a professional carpenter, you still did a splendid job of doing things well and with lots of desire to doing what was correct. Your final result will surely be something you can be proud of, and a big thanks to dad I am sure. You can't beat good ole dad's help and guidance.
Thank you very much! You have that correct and it's hard to find good help these days! 😂
Excellent job! I frame houses for a living, and I am super impressed with the quality of your work!
This is real craftsmanship. I appreciate the detailed construction as well as the explanation of why. Keep working at you own pace, undoubtedly life always plays a part in whatever project or build we are planning or working on! No need to be embarrassed. Keep on keeping on!
Man you're a rock star when it came to building this it is amazing how professional you are doing something that you don't do for a living don't be embarrassed or make excuses this is a fantastic fantastic freaking series job and videos great work and I will watch the last one when are the remainder when they come thanks again congratulations and a fantastic job.
Very inspirational! Thank you for the dedicated time to share!😍
Nothing to be embarrassed about! Your tenacity is commendable. Great work!
Don't be embarrassed, you took the time you needed and life is hectic.
Thanks!
Nicely put together video! The drone footage works well too. I did a similar project at our house, but couldn't do a full roof due to our HOA, so we built the structure as a pergola. Good luck in finishing it. It'll be worth it! Great job.
Love this video! Thank you for putting the extra time into sharing this!
That was one of the most comprehensive project for my skill level that I've seen in a while. Great job.
The integration with the existing home roof is ... amazing.
Thanks for sharing. I love watching the progress. Looking forward for more.
You did a better job than most contractors. Just well thought out and executed.
We can't wait to see updates on your project!
Probably the most square roof out there in the world :D Great video!
Congrats on a great project. The scissor trusses made that project so much easier. You probably could get by without ice and water shield on a roof over an unheated porch but it won't hurt anything.
Great video. This give me lot of confident about doing my cover patio this summer. Thanks for sharing it.
Great Job So Far! Stay the course, even though life has thrown you some obstacles! You got this!!!
This was awesome. The attention to detail was astonishing.
Great video, was a high school construction teacher. I personally don't put wood posts in the ground anymore. I did a very similar project and poured concrete posts about 3 feet high and 18x18 inches. Going to put stone on them to dress them up. Don't be embarrassed at slow progress, you saved a ton of money.
Good job!!! I’m an old retired builder, you went about the job very thoughtfully and with reason. Regardless of any critique somebody might make, you did do a fine job of it.
Great work for a rook! I’m a contractor for 25 years and was a framer for 13 years before that. Nonsense, that wood in the dirt will be shit in less than 10 years, it blows my mind that any engineer would suggest it in this day and age
I want one of those... "dads" you speak of... yep, quite handy, that dad you have.
Dude, that's a freaking bomb shelter . . and your attention to detail is faultless - too bad homes are not built with such perfection ! . . . CHEERS !
Do not apologize! Starting a family is hard work. Your time is your most valuable asset right now. You’re working, raising a family, marriage, dealing with illnesses, making content, and life gets in the way. Investing your time to create a great space for your family to enjoy for years to come is a pleasure to watch, and I’m a fan. Keep doing the best you can each day and it’ll add up to a great home and great life. It’s nice to see a creative producer instead of entitled taker. God bless.
8:30, ingenious idea!!!!!!🤔👍👍
Cant wait looking forward to seeing it, so far so good. Great Job!
Looks great, sturdy and adds a lot of value. Enjoy your hard work.
Just watching now and wow! Well done….
Excellent content and execution!
At every point I caught myself saying " I'd have done this or that " very next part of the video there it was .... very nice work
seeing your video def confirms i have not the skill, tools or time to tackle this type of diy project that we would live to have done at our home! looking forward to your update!
Excellent Job !!!
Hello from Australia, you should feel very proud of what you achieved, shout out to your dad for his help. You do not need to apologise, life has a habit of slowing down the best laid plans. I hope you make more of these videos. I am looking forward to more backyard renovations. Cheers from 🇦🇺
Thanks I really appreciate it! Awesome to hear from Australia!
That is an excellent how to video, I look forward to future ones.
High quality! Looks great
Amazing job. I can appreciate the attention to detail and how well thought out everything is. Looking forward to part 2. Will subscribe!
Thanks and that's awesome to hear. I appreciate the support!
You are doing it right. Best is that you are recording for other to learn.
Thanks for posting! I have been playing around with a similar design for a few months (when I have a chance to sketch and plan). This was helpful to confirm several similar concepts that I have been considering- and I have nearly identical dimensions. Great job- it looks awesome.
Thanks! Awesome that this can help in some way.
Doing a really good job with attention to detail. Also, don't be ashamed of it taking much longer than you thought. This happens to the best of us whether it be lack of motivation or life getting in the way.
i love to bid
Awesome! Looks great, brotha!
Great job!
You Did Beautiful. At Least U Tried. Your Amazing Legend. Glad U Have A Supportive Family.
Nicely done. Thx for filming.
This is really cool. I definitely don’t agree with putting those posts in the ground without wrapping with something but if you don’t mind replacing rotten posts I guess it’s OK.
Very nice diy job man . A professional would be proud to say they did this .
Piss on the naysayers, sure , everybody would do it slightly different but for a non builder, your works are outstanding. Be Blessed 🙏
Very nice job, keep up the good work 👍👍👍
Dang, awesome work. And great job to your dad!
well done. Thanks for sharing. You are a good communicator
As someone who builds homes for a living I applaud your efforts. I can't wait to see the final product.
Thanks!
Is this some massive blow fest or something?
You did amazing bro! That drone was working overtime!!
Awesome job! I gotta admit, I can't wait to see the finished product.
Thanks!
Hey Brian!
Ur dad is awesome!
GL with the young one!
That really looks great.
great idea at 12:04👍
Always the funnest part, filling the hole you just spent ages and a lot of sweat digging.
Project like this is what I am doing right now in my patio and the used of scissor trusses to.
Installation of first truss was ingenious
really loved it
What a great progress, 👍
You have got to have roofing and construction experience. 🎊 🎉perfectly done ✔️. Great job
You have a well organized job site. You look like a pro. Take your time and do it right. It looks great so far👍🏾.
Not only this is a great video, I love the father and son work! 🤙😎
Thanks, I am lucky that way.
Great job! your the man! Thanks for posting
Incredible attention to detail! This is why I like doing my own projects. Without the pressure of production you can take the extra time to make everything perfect. In production I was told to build with a tolerance of 1/4 inch. I personally aim for 1/16. I’m pretty sure you are building to 1/64 or smaller lol. Amazing work and documentation.
Hahaha I hear you and there was a ton of time for thinking!
I've worked in the single family home industry for over 40 years and usual tolerances for rough framing is 1/8", which is also the width of a saw cut. Trusses are built to 1/16" accuracy tolerances. Anything smaller is for cabinetry and fine finish work.
Love the video! Great job! Would love to see a full video on your design process.
You did a great job. Be PROUD. I would be.
Very nice work and more importantly, very well done video. I’ve been looking for something like this to do in my parents backyard and I needed a good video to watch and this was it. Kuddos 👍🙏 Thank you!
*Excellent work 🎉*
You did an amazing job!!
Impressive attention to detail
Man congrats I'm impressed with your attention to detail, you work how I wish I worked on my own projects. 😅
Great job 👏🏼
Def wanna c this finished bud!…looks awesome!
Отличная работа,и хорошая мотивация от своего труда. Молодец.
Wow! Great job!! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching
Lucky you! Great job.
Dude, your patio addition came out awesome. I really like the clever design you came up with joining the new section with the old..... I especially like you're the first DIYer I've seen actually use a hammer and nail on their build...😊
Man, that looked like fun! I loved your video. I am inspired.
That is one of the most beautifulest structures I've ever seen.
Thanks!
Amazing work. Inspiring
Hello Like from Indonesia 🇮🇩

Nice job, very professional and it matches your home very well!
Thank you very much!
Dude, phenomenal work. This makes me want to build something!
It’s an awesome project thanks for shearing and it was well explain. Will like to see the finish product. I liked that your dad is helping.
Thanks! Ya he helped me a ton!
First time watching, very impressed with your project, very well done.
Don't be embarrassed at all. You don't do this for a living and it looks pretty darn straight. I'm also a diyer and bought a three plane level from Milwaukee. That thing is so awesome I'm using it for my deck project I'm using it for my basement remodel it's also one of my favorite tools. I look forward to seeing the completion of this project good luck.
Thanks! Love the laser!
Awesome job
Awesome production!
Great job my friend.
I enjoyed your video! Nice attention to details.
You did a very amazing job
