Take it from a guy who has worked construction for over 35 years, Having the kids or anyone underneath a working area can become a terrible experience when something falls on their heads and sends them to the hospital.Believe me when I say I am no safety nazi but have witnessed it a few times and have changed my own ways because of it. You do nice work
Retired with over 50 years in residential construction. A bit late to help your project, but hopefully others. Good job, here are some pointers. Your first joist should have been played flat and notched for rafter. Its easier to put gable studs in if it's flat. All it is for is drywall backing. Joist could have been put up on building and while layed flat cut to length after flushing up one end with wall. Quicker. Cat walks are usually put in at 4 ft or so from outside edge and nailed down. If attic space gets osb, put it down before rafters. Catwalks keep the joist from flipping over. Depending on roof pitch the top corners of joist are cut off so they do not protrude above roof line. That way full bearing on walls. Hangers are not ties. Collar ties or 2x4 chokers tight under the ridge. Usually because of roof pitch, ridge board is 2 inches larger then rafters. Say 2x6 rafters, 2x8 ridge. Ridge at overhang is ripped down to accommodate facia width or soffet. A V splice should have been used to connect both sections of ridge or the ridge connections should fall over the bearing wall and rafter layout. Sway braces needed from both bearing walls to ridge. Gable studs are easier to put in before the rest of the rafters. 2x4 nailers on the underside of gable end rafters makes a better job. Facia boards on gable end should have been cut 3/4 longer and butted together at ridge. That way the end of the ridge is not exposed. If metal or vinyl is going to be used to cover facia, it doesn't matter.
I lay my raffter material flat staggered to the pitch of the roof determined by measuring how much the pitch is from square of the board then step each board and snap lines for head cut the C cuts all have plumb lines then tails of the raffters all cut like ply wood one continuous motion. You need a pattern block to mark the seat cut of the raffter .but this flat cutting technique is so productive cutting hip valley roofs.Imagine 24ft material 4 PC's stepped to the pitch,then each side gets 2 22 ft then each side 20ft then 18 ft and so on snap a line through the center on the pitch of the roof set saw blade on a 45 degree angle and you have made so many head cuts for Jack raffters so fast. I lay two 8ft PC's ply wood 4ft end to end layout the degression of the raffters and set pairs each side of hip or valley Jack's to the lines.burn measurement of degression and measure common raffter length, mark and square across for C cut then double it for tails finish up with pattern block.all gables raffters are pre noched for out riggers for varge over hang.all Perlins and ridge braceing done with only enough raffters to hold up rigdes n perlins they help hold the wieght of the raffter makes it way easier nailing when your not stuggling with a 20 ft 2 by 8 by your self trying to suck it tight to the wall nailing the head or vice versa pushing up nailing the C cut when your 6ft 5in you don't want to be crawling underneath the roof this is the fastest method with minimal wieght to take sags out use strings for straight. I drive 16 penny nails set n sink .the raffters are sheeting backing the bulk is the last to go up they are just in your way I set vaulted curling raffters with flat 2bys for backing if multiple Perlins raffters set on Perlins like cat walks to nail gable stud at the top. Ya Ya I Know California wild child piece worker slop artist but we use to race for pay checks. I needed no fancy swing table saws or big Maketas to cut 5 1/2 in.tail cuts a skill saw with cutting flat, double sets of stickers might take 3 rows but I out cut 2 guys with chipper blades for C cuts swing tables and a big Makeet 16in blade.1980s I'd make $350 a day cutting roof by my self I framed some high end homes for Randal Cunniham Eagles quarter back 10,000 square ft home in Vegas .Bill Cartwright Folsom lake Calif.

With the economy in such bad shape for so long I bet production is way slower today.I was taught from the era of LA.

@@mizzysharp943There are lots of ways to cut roofs. We always cut them on edge, (gang cutting) crown down, swing table, chipper and a converted skillsaw with a 20 inch blade. Never cared for the Makita. Would use a sidewinder on larger material to finish plumb cuts. Today, cutting and stacking is becoming a lost art. Even big custom homes are using trusses.
The man is a "BEAST"....I have done projects by myself and it is crazy hard to get the work done and stay motivated. My favorite part is them little girls watching dad work and dad having his babies in his "feet". You are teaching us and them daughters will have high expectations from there husbands. Your so very blessed.
Great job! I grew up building houses and now continue to do projects on my farm in Georgia so it's always good to see a dad providing for his family. We need more MEN like you in this country.
In the future, if you cut a pair of rafters prior to erecting the walls it's a lot easier to get them perfect. Just use a small piece of 2x scrap as ridge filler,alot easier at ground level. Old new England builder trick
You should be proud. I learned a lot watching your video. I’m going to build a project this week that’s pretty likeness to it. Seeing how you made it working alone was inspiring: God blessed you buddy
I never understood 24” centers for joists/rafters. You saved three joists and six rafters on that addition. I prefer the rigidity of 16” centers throughout the structure.
Nice well done this video seems so clear i never had been able to see a video that shows how to build proof so easy thanks for teaching the world exactly what to do and how to do it good job.
Friendly tips are fair, However, anybody criticizing this man from a TV screen should be ashamed of themselves. He's pretty much solo and did all of this. VERY inspiring. A true hero and living legend for his family. Salute sir.

very good video,well done sir...One thing i noticed that i felt was unsafe and had to share with you.I could not help notice your kids playing below you while you were handling those rafters and nail gun.I would urge you to not allow that while doing overhead work !
Dude. I was watching this vid on my tv. I saw those kids and were like wtf? Then i had to log onto my phone to see if i was the only one who had something to say about that. Man...some people just different. This isnt the only time ive seen something like this. What the literal got damn fuck?
Good job man, it's good to see such a young man can build, you remind me of myself as i work alone on my projects, keep building, it gets addictive. 👍😁👍
I could be wrong (check with Simpson Strong Tie ) but I do not believe ridge hangers count as rafter ties as required by IRC. I believe they have to tie the rafters together over the ridge board with a strap or you have to install collar ties at 48" centers 1/3 down. Also you need to install hurricane ties or install a structural screw from the plate to rafter.
Helpful video, my wife and I are taking on a 16’x25’ addition to our house and this helped quite a bit for tying the addition into the existing roof. Thanks
Great work being a Carpenter myself i think you have made a very good Practical Great Video about the Sequence of events in building a roof. Great stuff .
Don't worry about having cut the shingles back as far as you did. Keep it like that and straighten the edge. Pull up the nails holding the little pieces of shingles and run a wife flashing in the corner. Run it the same on the roof your building. Would save on replacing all the shingles lined down both sides just to get the perfect stair
Thank you for sharing these methods of yours to build a addition. I feel like alot of us do not have the means to buy a house anymore and rich people are buying upp any new house available. We need to learn to build our own home and compare the price diferences from buying new home and building. I do not want a dream home, I want a home. thanks for helping me get closer to that reallity
Appreciate that. I have a similar project it’s an existing roof, it’s an older roof. Think I am going to go ahead and reframe it then roof, your video help a lot.
I liked the video! It's always nice to have good tools, the right tools, good lumber, a sunny day, a wife not hanging over (or under you while you work so she doesn't hear you swear). I'm just learning, but I always thought when setting that main ridge beam, the main ridge beam should extend (with the angle cut already to match the pitch of the existing shingled roof) OUT to the end of your new to be roof (not including the overhang) and that the shingles should be removed already before setting beams. I dunno, maybe there's different ways to go about it, but that's just my thinking. Anyway, I loved watching, it looks so neat. Everything looks well built! Always good to learn the right way, not have to relearn and try to break old habits....
Great job sir,you must feel very satisfied after doing this and that is what it is all about,also,it shows anybody can do this,just think before you cut.
Brother, I love what you do. I also do Structural and additions. I enjoy it a lot. It's just that where I live there are very few jobs.Just notice one detail in this addition that I do it differently.For 6" logs use 8" face, for 8" logs use 10" face. Maybe I didn't understand because I don't speak English well, but I congratulate you. Greetings
U explain yourself very well congrats! I was wondering how you were going to connect to your existing roof line and you showed how you blocked it . Only problem as other said I saw the little ones playing below. Other than that i both enjoyed and learned from u . Thks
awesome vid thanks. Feels all to familiar to me. One guy juggling clamps, walking on a 2x with a nail gun. You will love the day you get the battery powered framing nailer...I got a piece of property in CO a few years back -- clean slate, nothing on it. I was thinking about going w/ trusses for the first build but after seeing what you did I think I'll do the same
Mark one line Centered over stud with a “J” on one side on the inner top edge of plate and an “R” on the other side toward outside top edge of plate. J | R respectively.
,🏡. I watched every moment of your thoughtful process❤. It's sometimes difficult to raise your children in a home that is never completed . Home can be their room , the kitchen where conversation never ends or a room decorated with welcome by the s.mile on your face or a warm embrace ❤ It can also be this completely yours 💫..
Thanks so much, Gosh it was so long ago i forgot what it was, i think 2x8 maybe and a 10" ridge. It was a prettty short span, here's the table where you can determine what size you need based on your weights. www.southernpine.com/resources/span-tables/joists-rafters/
Good video, clamps are man's best friend when another friend isn't around. Do you have a video of you drying in the ridge beam connection to the roof? Like how you tar papered or otherwise adjusted for that different angles?
Working alone sucks - you got it done. I guess the drone has a hovering setting while you work? The 2x sub facia is how we used to do it - makes for straighter fascia. Great job.
A Hoovies garage doppelganger...... great job, I'm a rafter guru! Only thing is i would've made the ridge beam one board.... you may have to had switch to an LVL because of the length, but well worth not having to join a ridge beam
Thank you so much I am building a house too and I need to know how to build the roof I already know how to build the floor and the walls but not really the roof keep up the good work
Been nice if you would showed the part were and how you attached it from roof up to ridge board after tearing off roofing thats the part I was watching for But other than that you did a great job by yourself good work
@@BreakFreeHomestead My comment about having children underneath you when you are working is far from Monday morning quarterbacking and since I had worked in commercial construction for 35 years I am not guilty of not doing much of anything. I have seen skilled men who have worked in the trades for many years drop things onto others. Two children were playing under you when you were walking on loose boards using a nail gun for over an hour. You set that nail gun down many times and it could have fallen or been kicked off. The kids were walking directly under you many times. Fortunately they had moved just before you grabbed that rafter off center at 11:44 dropping down to the exact area they were playing. The only way we learn is from others, That goes the same for others mistakes. If someone gives you a heads up on a safety concern that is real then consider it as a gift, learning some things the hard way can be unforgiving for others as well as yourself. Trust me when I tell you I am no Safety nazi, I have no problem seeing guys risk themselves doing a job, I had no problem doing many things myself that was considered unsafe. The only problem I had was watching others do things that endangered the innocent.
Good job doing it by yourself. I would like to see more of the detail work and less of the redundant work. For example I was hoping to to you measure and cut the framing that went to the house. You completely left that out.
Just curious, I'm not a builder and am very impressed with this guy. One question though, could he have left the shingles on and put the sleeper over them? That way it ensures no water damage in case of rain? You can cut the access in later? Just some thoughts. I did hvac and have been in a lot of attic spaces where you could see the sleeper nailed directly over the shingled roof. Great job though sir! For a single man to do all this is insane!
Take it from a guy who has worked construction for over 35 years, Having the kids or anyone underneath a working area can become a terrible experience when something falls on their heads and sends them to the hospital.Believe me when I say I am no safety nazi but have witnessed it a few times and have changed my own ways because of it. You do nice work
Great advise I am doing an asistían all my self with two kiddos I entend on making sure they are no where under us
.
exactly why i scrolled down to the comments.. to say never work with them under you. A rafter falling could easily injure or kill them...
oh and also the ridge has the crown down lol
Saw that too and a couple hammer drops. Gotta put up delineators and teach the kids to stay out of the work zone! Aloha! Thanks for the video!

Also you need to install hurricane ties or install a structural screw from the plate to rafter.
Spat on, toenailing the joists to the plate alone, doesn’t give the roof enough strength. He needs hurricane ties. That’s basic.

It's sometimes difficult to raise your children in a home that is never completed . Home can be their room , the kitchen where conversation never ends or a room decorated with welcome by the s.mile on your face or a warm embrace ❤ It can also be this completely yours 💫..
Thanks for the support!
YOU DID A NICE JOB ,AND EVERYTHING BY YOURSELF, YOU HAVE ANOTHER SUBCRIBER, G.B.Y.
Thanks so much Josian, appreciate the support 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Wow you work alone u do a great job video very clear. My question what size is the roof rafter you put?
Thanks so much, Gosh it was so long ago i forgot what it was, i think 2x8 maybe and a 10" ridge. It was a prettty short span, here's the table where you can determine what size you need based on your weights.

Very good instructional video! Looking to add a front porch and tie into my existing roof and ran across your video. 👍👍🤘🏻🤘🏻
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for supporting our channel!
Sir sorry for my comment but I didn’t see when you level your gable rafters with the wall I don’t see the 2x4 brace level for the gable
Nice work, nice video. Thank you.
Thanks Wil, appreciate it! 💪

Excelent and good job bro.!!
Thanks so much!
Good job man
Thanks Kyle!
Good video, clamps are man's best friend when another friend isn't around. Do you have a video of you drying in the ridge beam connection to the roof? Like how you tar papered or otherwise adjusted for that different angles?
You are scaring me with that nailer brother- My god.
Free entertainment. 🤘
Best video so far congratulations for your chanel learn lost of it
Thanks! Yeah, this video sure is helping us out! 💪
Looks really nice. I'm thinking of adding some similar space to my place.
Thanks J! You got this 💪
Working alone sucks - you got it done. I guess the drone has a hovering setting while you work? The 2x sub facia is how we used to do it - makes for straighter fascia. Great job.
Thanks for the support! Yes, i just put it where i want to shoot and the technology just keeps it there. pretty sweet!
A Hoovies garage doppelganger...... great job, I'm a rafter guru! Only thing is i would've made the ridge beam one board.... you may have to had switch to an LVL because of the length, but well worth not having to join a ridge beam
Thank you so much I am building a house too and I need to know how to build the roof I already know how to build the floor and the walls but not really the roof keep up the good work
I am very much fond of your video bro. Pls tell me what materials you have used to make it.
Been nice if you would showed the part were and how you attached it from roof up to ridge board after tearing off roofing thats the part I was watching for
But other than that you did a great job by yourself good work
Great DIY work!!!!
Thank you!
If I don’t feel safe I would never let my kids underneath my structure! I am sure he know what he is doing and those kids are fine! ❤
Thanks for the support Aaron. I think its just easy for people to monday morning quarterback when they are not doing much of anything.
@@BreakFreeHomestead My comment about having children underneath you when you are working is far from Monday morning quarterbacking and since I had worked in commercial construction for 35 years I am not guilty of not doing much of anything. I have seen skilled men who have worked in the trades for many years drop things onto others. Two children were playing under you when you were walking on loose boards using a nail gun for over an hour. You set that nail gun down many times and it could have fallen or been kicked off. The kids were walking directly under you many times. Fortunately they had moved just before you grabbed that rafter off center at 11:44 dropping down to the exact area they were playing. The only way we learn is from others, That goes the same for others mistakes. If someone gives you a heads up on a safety concern that is real then consider it as a gift, learning some things the hard way can be unforgiving for others as well as yourself. Trust me when I tell you I am no Safety nazi, I have no problem seeing guys risk themselves doing a job, I had no problem doing many things myself that was considered unsafe. The only problem I had was watching others do things that endangered the innocent.
Good job buddy 👏
Thanks 😁
Good job doing it by yourself. I would like to see more of the detail work and less of the redundant work. For example I was hoping to to you measure and cut the framing that went to the house. You completely left that out.
Thanks chuck, sorry we missed that. Sometimes its a challenge working alone.
Nice video. Thank you so much for the info.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the support!
Had you not sheathed the walls, you can test rafters on the shoe while safely on the deck below
Thanks for the tip!
Beautiful
Thank you
Just curious, I'm not a builder and am very impressed with this guy. One question though, could he have left the shingles on and put the sleeper over them? That way it ensures no water damage in case of rain? You can cut the access in later? Just some thoughts. I did hvac and have been in a lot of attic spaces where you could see the sleeper nailed directly over the shingled roof. Great job though sir! For a single man to do all this is insane!
Thanks so much Dan! I appreciate the support. This was my first time, if i did it again i would just do it over the shingles like you said.
Good job! Great feedback from the guru's ! I thought for sure you ran out of nails on 1rst rafter!! 😂
Thanks Brian. Just playing tricks 😂😂
Nice job man, your work is impressive
Thank You!!!
I’d say that’s a great job bro! Now I just need 3 more of you on my crew. 😂
Thanks Markus! Haha right?!
This is inspirational
Good job
Thanks brother! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
You work amazing your self
Thanks Billy! Appreciate the support! 🤙🤙
Great job. I am just warring about the joint part between the roof. If there’s no much snow, that’s okay.
No issues here💪
Good job!! Thx for helping me figure mine out :-) J García
