I don't need a building, I don't need a post frame of any kind. I stumbled into this channel years ago and love it. Thank you Kyle and Greg for pulling me into this world that has nothing to do with my wife. I find your videos relaxing and informative. Thank you.
I am building my own Pole Barn right now (all by myself). You have been a lifesaver!!! Sooooo many techniques and tips I have picked up from you. Love your videos. Stay safe!
I first heard the comment "if it look straight it is" long before the internet was even thought of. About 1972 if memory serves. Same for a fair curve. The eye doesn't lie. Most of these sayings have been around for ever. No one can really take credit for "inventing" a saying. Love the work Kyle and Gregg. G'day from Tasmania 😊
Kyle’s OCD is well displayed in the finish quality of his structures. They all turn out beautifully and the customer satisfaction is as well. Plus UTube gets quality educational content that is clearly narrated and demonstrated. Great job and the barn looks fabulous.
Openstudio , I know you used the term OCD in a nice way and meant no criticism but Kyle doesn't really have OCD , lol , he's merely organized . OCD is something that disorganized people attach to people who ARE organized . They're just jealous of you me and Kyle openstudio , haha .
what your showing is why your a high end builder of pole buildings. Just got done sheathing and putting metal on a 48 X 80 building. wow what a lot of work, thanks for the video's .
kyle i sure hope you take good care of greg he is the best partner you could ask for,you two make a awesome team . love your work the best to both of you.
To Kyle's "You can chase perfection, but you're never going to achieve it," someone appropriately added, "but if you chase perfection, you may achieve excellence!"
Full length trim is best. We always slide in jamb overhead door trim after metal so it's not nailed behind, doesn't get damaged or scratched installing side metal, and easy to replace
Just used your method for squaring up something and the if it looks straight it is straight idea the other day on my brothers deck. He had a guy help him lay deck boards and they got a little skewed to the framing and he's doing a picture frame board. He asked for help laying the picture frame out so we measured the lengths and diagonal and i told him the picture frame doesn't need to be square to the frame cause you can't see it easily. Instead we squared it to skewed deck boards and it came out looking great from every perpective an owner or visitor would ever have. For context we are diyers not pros so we don't do this kind of work on a regular basis.
You should tape the top flashing/trim to the housewrap so that any condensation on the back of your steel runs out the front rather than pooling up in your trim. Small cost for the added protection. Above windows and doors you need to do everything you can to direct water out the front since it cannot run all the way to the ground.
Very good tips guys and of course quality craftsmanship!! I'm so excited to get started on my shop, 60x120x16, Paul Marshall (Mr PostFrame) is my builder!!
Great video . Nice work on the triples . But 10,500 views and 1,000 likes ? Come on viewers , please remember to hit that like button if you liked the video . I've been watching this channel for a long time , I hit the like button as soon as the video loads . Because I know I'm going to enjoy it .
I really like your lapped detail on the top exterior corners of the garage door trim. I also like how flat the trim sits because of the bends along both edges. As a garage door tech I have seen issues with the metal that returns instde the door jamb. If the door rubs on the jamb, it can catch on seams and fasteners. The door can also wear through the metal and the sharp edges curl and bind against the door. However, this is not an issue if the door installer sets the door back far enough that the door only rubs on the door seal. Also, why not lap your WRB over the top leg of your head jamb trim so that any water that may run down the WRB is epxelled out?
you could use black spray-paint under those flashing corners also, or a thick felt pen, or even better, some black flashing tape to hide any potential wood showing through, and to act as a weather-guard.................we usually paint anything that "might" show, and then it never does..... love your metal-trim tips.
I love the use of the rolling tool to add a kick out on the corner pieces. Would you consider doing that around windows and doors? Where the metal slides into the j-trim? Keep up the great work!!
Been following you folks for ages from Australia, so.many similarities but also differences in the way (& what) we build. Do you folks have issues with termites? Where we are, we have to take so many precautions because the little dudes will just eat framing out from the inside. Really enjoy your work gents, a credit to you all. ✌️
So my question on the door jam, whilst you are framing the jam why not use (as an a ample) a 2x10 (that frames it flush) why not use a 2x12 and that will give you that length for the trim to fit in. This would be one piece as apposed to the added piece Greg added. I hope I have explained it that you can understand. As always great content and next video show up on the E bikes
What gauge siding is that? What would you recommend for a post frame residential home? Love the videos, thank you for all your insight and helpful tips!
Do you have any videos showing all the details of the metal work around windows with metal siding? Showing all the J-trim, header flashing, the siding, etc?
I have ocd which I don't call it that I just say it's doing it right! I'm doing my metal building by myself, and they shipped long pieces of door head and jamb trim. (12Ft). it's my first-time using aviation snips. they kind of kicked my butt but I got it all done with little caulking. my issues are the rain. I can't put the sheet metal up fast enough and some water has got behind the trim. will it evaporate after a while? do I need to remove it all? It is tough putting that long header trim piece on without scratching the sides. Thank you for the help I enjoy your videos!
One quick question. What's the advantage to Installing that 2" x 2" rather than framing the R.O 3" bigger and wrapping the jam with 2" x 10" trimmed to size. Just curious, I am no framing expert. And great work as always guys
Planning on building a 120'x50' post frame with a 44' shop inside. 6 bedrooms. Getting about 145 28' painted ultra rib panels 36" wide for free next week. Res Iron or wood is my question regarding cost wtc. 24:50
You left out the part when you put the j channel on top of the garage door trim. Does it slip behind the same groove you made that mates with the door trim?
Maybe you could have used for that support board a strip of 1/2 inch plywood (or a few attached together for length) instead of a full 2x4. Would have saved a lot of weight.
I recently installed a one piece door flashing similar to the style in the video. They were installed on 12x12 doors. My trim was ordered in 14’ lengths. Is there a reason you guys don’t 1 piece them? Or are you limited by your supplier to a standard 10’ length? Thanks for the videos! Have picked up quite a few tips.
When I worked in a Tool and Die shop we used Lifting Magnets during the fabrication and repair process. I wonder using them with the lift or Telehandler would help with labor and efficiency? See the reply below for a link to the brand we used. Best wishes.
Hmmm...... if it looks straight it is straight? That would be my high school shop teacher, Mr. Spurling, Montgomery Co., Ga. Also, if he found us kids to be doing something stupid: "That aint going to work!". I've been told that more than once. On the other hand, Mr. Bell, he would just point and laugh.

I'm sure you have educated many with your detailed explanations while you're on the job. Enjoy your videos.

Yet another great video!! Well done guys it’s so entertaining watching you.
I like all the thought that was put into the placement of the joints. Makes for a great looking build. Great job guys!
I believe that quote, come from Oscar Wilde- " If it looks straight, it is straight".
Kyle's version of "not perfect" is so good that most people would consider it perfect.
MAN WHEN YOU MESS UP IT'S WE!!!!.BUT ALL THE OTHER TIMES IT'S ME. 😮😮😮I AM GLAD THAT GREG IS A EASY GOING MAN!!!...
Great job as always guys. 👍👍🏴🏴
To Kyle's "You can chase perfection, but you're never going to achieve it," someone appropriately added, "but if you chase perfection, you may achieve excellence!"

Great job you two. Thanks for filming. 😁👍🏼
Jimmy Diresta is the real mvp.
Thx this is very helpful
I am hoping to take the lead on more project on my pre eng jobs

Nice problem solving on the fly! Thanks!
I just finished my building, on my garage door trim I had a trim made with a j channel for the outside metal, than cover the flat and the inside edge
Good idea with the 2x4 to keep the panel straight. Next time have a 1x3 available. Much lighter!
Or a piece of cutoff steel panel maybe, just across the window openings.
@@stevea6722Yes, I was thinking the same.
I don’t know much about framing but I know your a quality contractor because you worry about the small details AND THEY MATTER!!!!!!
Very good tips guys and of course quality craftsmanship!!
I'm so excited to get started on my shop, 60x120x16, Paul Marshall (Mr PostFrame) is my builder!!
Jimmy said it!
Jimmy Diresta said it I remember from when you built his shop in New York (I think)
The only one i know that said that is jimmy diresta .... Keep it up brother

“If it looks straight is is straight”. Maybe he didn’t coin the phrase, but I’ve heard Matt Risinger say it.

"If it looks straight, it is straight" - Jimmy DiResta
We install the overhead trim the same only thing we do different is cut bottom piece 1/8 out of square and it's easier to get it under top piece.
Jimmy Diresta said "If it looks straight it is straight."
I would say, “If it looks straight, it is straight…” was originally attributed to Jimmy Diresta.
Jimmy. Diresta said if it looks straight it is straight.
Kyle get the crayon refill for your pica pen for the black sheets it show up way better
That was an Elton John quote “looks straight”
Ya'll do nice work.
Beautiful work guys 👍
What gauge siding is that? What would you recommend for a post frame residential home? Love the videos, thank you for all your insight and helpful tips!
I believe J. DIresta is the 1st one I heard "if it looks straight it is straight"
If it looks straight it is straight - that's a Jimmy DiResta line I think :-)
Do you have any videos showing all the details of the metal work around windows with metal siding? Showing all the J-trim, header flashing, the siding, etc?
Great video as usual. What is the brand name of the green handle marker you carry on your tool pouch? Thanks, Dan.
KYLE- Coined the "Looks Straight Is Straight" saying!!!??? 🙂
about 5 years ago in upstate NY a man with glasses and a bird " If it looks straight it is straight "
I have ocd which I don't call it that I just say it's doing it right! I'm doing my metal building by myself, and they shipped long pieces of door head and jamb trim. (12Ft). it's my first-time using aviation snips. they kind of kicked my butt but I got it all done with little caulking. my issues are the rain.

The “if it look straight it is straight“ is from Jimmy Diresta
Could you possibly bend the J channel into that trim as well?

What are ultra panels?
Ultra rib exposed fasteners. 36"
What trim are those that you use for the door frames? looks great!
Sounds like something that Norm Abrams would say.
Great video Kyle I’ll be in tune to ur big ppv fight on September 30 Kyle cinnamon Alvarez 😂 by tko! Let’s go 😂
You left out the part when you put the j channel on top of the garage door trim. Does it slip behind the same groove you made that mates with the door trim?
Maybe you could have used for that support board a strip of 1/2 inch plywood (or a few attached together for length) instead of a full 2x4. Would have saved a lot of weight.
I've Said It Before!
Quality Sells Itself!
Excellent Work As Always Kyle & Greg! 🪚🚲☮️
I miss the "straight as eggs" analogy. You need to get that one in again soon.
You said before that you've heard from a wise man "if it looks straight it's straight"
I recently installed a one piece door flashing similar to the style in the video. They were installed on 12x12 doors. My trim was ordered in 14’ lengths. Is there a reason you guys don’t 1 piece them? Or are you limited by your supplier to a standard 10’ length? Thanks for the videos! Have picked up quite a few tips.
Me: “he didn’t pull the plastic on that trim before covering it…surely he has a plan for that…” 😂
I didn't realize you were only an hour from our land.
👍👍
Did you do a video on inside corner trim yet? I can’t find it. Thanks
"If it looks straight, it is straight". Maybe Mike Holmes said that?

That top jamb piece looks slicker than owl shit in a plastic sack
Did I see X bracing in the middle of the wall?
I thought it was only needed on the corners?
If it looks straight it is straight would be the Godfather Diresta
Did you explain why you didn't go all the way to the peak of the gable end with the house wrap?
He mentioned it in a different video. Has to do with moisture blocking, its not needed above the insulation. May cause issues with condensation.
where do you buy your garage doors from? are you out of illinois? i drive for CHI overhead doors out of arthur illinois!
Try using some plywood smaller pieces to keep that sheet together that was very difficult I was doing all I could my shoulders are burning
29:35- Ask Jamie Perkins from Perkins Builder Brothers if "fingers grow back". I'm confident he has a different opinion!!! 😞
who do you order your garage door trim from? menards doesnt seem to have that size
How do you snap a line over the ribs of the steely
where can I find that hammer that you're using?
