I am a 50+ - year veteran in the remodeling and home-building industry, I have enjoyed my work almost as much as you and your Ace carpenter. Seem to
I enjoy watching your videos many of which I have watched multiple times, I am especially intrigued by your son and his quick comprehension of your work, he will outdistance both of us in due time.
There are two things I would like to commend you on which I learned very early in my apprenticeship.
The number one statement is this make every step you make during working hours count toward completing the job.
The second statement is never to walk around empty-handed, whatever direction you’re headed as you walk pick something up and deliver it closer to its destination.
Here are three suggestions to save you time and make your work not only easier but safer, I trust you will take these suggestions in the same spirit that I offer them to you.
#1 the stiff backs you put on the truss angle support boards In certain cases as required by the manufacturer. These can be applied on the ground level. After you pick the truss up from the pile and as it is being balanced by the hi-lift, close to the ground, have a nailing gun and stack of 2 x 4 stiffeners handy, and apply those at ground level, it will save you time and money.
#2 this tip applies to the gable end truss, predrill the nail holes on both ends before you hoisted into the air. This will make the driving of those £.60 ring shanks, 1000 times easier, faster and safer. I know you are knowledgeable of how many nails and what configuration they should be in to fasten the truss to the corner posts. This too will save you much toil and the wear and tear on your arm and rotor cups.
#3 prologue, to me this is the best suggestion I can make for you to increase your productivity while saving the wear and tear on your body, as well as speeding up the process when applying long sheets of roofing materials. You may need to put some thought into what I’m saying but once it comes clear in your mind I know this idea will make you hundreds of thousands of dollars before you retire. Here it is stated plainly.
#3 A. Construct a lightweight framework that will hold a bundle of your roofing steel as it comes from the manufacturer.
B. using your GLG hi-lift machine lift the metal and framework together placing it at a 90° angle to your rolling platform. This will add very little weight to the new procedure.
C Construct it so that as each sheet of metal is pulled from the shoot onto the roof the angle of the chute will be at such an angle to preserve the finish on the next sheet of metal in the stack, this angle can easily be calculated from the ground level during construction of the framework. A simple 1x4 may be used on the upper end to separate the two sheets placed there by the rolling scaffold carpenter as the individual sheet is being loaded on the roof. The metal will then be fed onto the new building allowing the workmen to pull it directly from the stack onto the roof with all ease.
D The second man, the one in the rolling platform will neither have to lift the metal by hand, nor will this employee need to twirl it in the air 180° to prepare it or use it on the roof. This will be easier and safer for the employee, and save many man-hours of labor.
I trust this information will be clear enough you will be able to grasp the concept and run with the idea, keep the videos coming I enjoy watching them you have taught me much over the years, again thank you.
It was almost a throwaway comment but, "They have everything already set up by the time I get there..." says so much to those who can truly appreciate just how much of a big deal that is ! Not only that but it speaks volumes about the lads, their ethic and their involvement in the job as well. Respect to both of them and thanks to you and Greg for the continued entertainment and education as well = )
Love seeing your kid work with you. Everyday when I'm dropping him off at preschool, my 4 year old tells me he's "going to help build with daddy when I get big enough", and am dreaming of those days.
Any time we spend time with our little humans are precious memories.
That's the way. My Dad did that with me and I did that with my three girls. I am a proud Great Grandpa now at 81. Building was surely my love. John in Missouri Valley Iowa
My earliest memories are from being on job sites with my dad. Start him as early as possible.
You sound like a great Dad!
I love that…..I have a 15 and 6 year old. The oldest doesn’t care anything about helping me with our construction business, but the youngest one says the same thing yours does. Love it!
New general contractor here. Just turned 25. Never built a full house before. About to start my first spec house build. 1600ff plus 1250sf basement. Taking a lot of risks financially to make my dreams happen
Best of luck! 👍
Go get it! You will never do it if you don't start. You will make mistakes. Fix them and learn from the mistakes.
How n where did you bid your first house build?? Trying to get started in that also.

Cole is awsome for swapping out the battery. He is learning to look for work and just get it done. I agree that the way you lift those walls is very safe.
Agree I still haven’t taught Greg to swap a dead battery… he brings the tool out with a dead battery lol
@RRBuildings Greg is amazing because he stays ahead of you, so you can just keep going. You guys are true artists, and I love learning from you. Keep up the great work.
Great channel! From a 78 year old who is still building stuff, bucking hay, and generally moving well...lift with your legs! Trust me, you can replace your hips, knees, shoulders, etc. You cannot replace or even rebuild your back! I need to notify TSA when I fly since I set off the security machines with all the metal in my new artificial joints...they are terrific and keep me working!
I begged my dad to take me to work with him since I was in second grade! I wanted nothing more than to look like him and go to work with him! That should inspire dads to be their best!
Just love the partnership and efficiency of the two of you guys working together all these years! I work solo as a handyman, and partner up with another guy for bigger projects and things just get done so well. The best trade teams I see out there are two man teams, usually the owner and a helper. Just lean machines getting their tasks done. Keep up the great work, and I love the math tutorials you do - not boring at all! (Not to leave your son out of the equation - it's great to see him working with you guys!)
Kyle I am so pleased you made reference to the back and leg lift following my previous comment. I worked in heavy I dusty and was also a health and safety rep in ontario before returning to the UK. Now retired ba k in the UK I never miss your videos and would hate any of you to get injured. Safety is such a great topic in videos such as yours. Keep safe and make many ore of them my friend. You do good work and I for one appreciate it 😊😊😊
Your friendship and jobsite humor make your videos next level. Great content, and seeing friends building stuff together is awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Watching you calculate post heights based upon truss pitch numbers brings back memories. When I first showed up on the job with a construction Master calculator in the mid-1980s, the old-timers on the job thought I was literally doing voodoo. It took me quite a while to win them over. Eventually I was able to prove to them that I could cut commons, hip rafters, (and lay them out on the sawhorses) and jack rafters without crawling around on the ceiling joists 20 feet in the air to get measurements. The associated reduction in roof framing hours won several foremen over eventually.
As a former builder it is nice to see the math outlined & explained. TY
Seeing the three of you together reminds me of the TV show 'Two and a half men'. But don't feel inadequate Kyle.
I don’t want to hurt my legs, I got to walk the next day!!! Greg with the zinger lol
And I am amazed by your determination and skill in constructing the biggest building yet. Part 5, focusing on walls, headers, and corners, showcases your meticulous craftsmanship and dedication to quality. Your passion and hard work are truly inspiring. And I am Floating Village Life
Forty years ago I worked with a couple of my uncles putting buildings up. We didn't have all the tools and equipment you have today, but boy.....would it have been nice to have had!!
Great seeing you work with your two sons Greg and Cole and their friend Kelan!
Sarcasm right?
😂
@@bertveldhuizen8699 yeah brah
You didn’t bore the heck out of me, it’s interesting how you work out your add ons. Keep up the amazing work lads.
I learned your "trick" back in the 1970's, when I started banging nails. (no cell phone, no you tube, no nail gun) Back then, my foreman insisted a hatchet was a frame carpenter's tool, used to trim the ends of celing joists where they extended above the rafter at the heel?
Yep, still have one of my old rigging axes.
"Wanna go golfing" . . . I just love Greg's timely comments . . .
Thanks for the full skinny on how to work around a missed wet set. Gonna be a post frame tight football team too! Here's to your season guys!
Wow! Never thought I'd see a C-Stand in your environment!!! Very cool!!! [For movie people, it's a special stand that has a hundred uses on set]. 🎥😁🤙
Gotta say too. That Cole is a quick study and has very quickly become a real asset to the team. Good job Cole. Now Dad, he needs a raise.
That DeWalt drill is no joke!
I truly enjoy watching you guys. You actually show the mistakes you all make and also how you fix them. The real world and not some make-believe BS. Amazing craftsmanship!
I’m very impressed with the scale of this job and your ability to organize and execute. Great job!
Great job as always guys. 👍👍🏴🏴
@4:42 I thought you were swing 2 hammers for a second. lol
Same
Me too.
After watching all your videos I'm still amazed at how fast these walls go up all total three days building the walls impressed
Greg has the coolest style and best singing voice. Definitely deserves a raise
Loved that description of the rafters and dimensions at the beginning
"We have no gas in that....., you want to go golfing?", had me cracking up!
Oh they make bigger shackles 😆 but I'm also in the steel mill not building post frame. Love the content excited to see this build go up.
Yep, there’s some enormous shackles produced. Some are a crane pick themselves.
Wow wow learn so much from this video watching different things that you were doing and how the workers are working makes more sense now to me thank you for joining us the approach we have to do the center columns it is an art form in our opinion 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
30:40 That fly didn't stand a chance!! 🤣🤣😂😂 Another fantastic edit, Michael!! Cheers fellas!! FELLAS!!
It's so nice you're training our future carpenters!!
It's a wise young man who takes the opportunity to learn from someone with experience willing to teach them.
Great job on the center wall. That’s a ton of work for just 1/2 a day! Just an fyi they are shackles not clevis and you can get them bigger than 3/4”. I get them from a company that makes wire cable slings for cranes.
Great video series love it!!. Big job but not afraid to attempt it, and have fun too, would be nice if Coles friend could get more involved. Great video Thanks Kyle.
Since I am not out there working with you guys, the next best thing is to be able to watch. Really enjoy you explaining what you do & why. Looking forward to future videos.
Keep hydrated in the hot weather keep for a good brain! It's the weather being hots fault!
Top fix! Awesome job!
The other thing too on your rigging, those clevis's and straps are rated at 5 ton or whatever WLL or working load limit. That means that's the max rate they're guaranteed safe at. The failure or breaking point of those is often 50-100% higher than that. So 5 ton WLL means it could take as much as 10 tons to actually break it.
Thank you.
This building is impressive and the technique is just as impressive
Nice seeing the kids helping !
Great to have the extra help for this 😊 hope they stick around and get some great experience working construction.
It would be fun to watch Greg explain the layout of the next build and Kyle has to the silent type!
Those Diablo demo blades are beasts for cutting stainless booker rod, but they go a lot better with straight cutting fluid.
I know it’s a lot of hard work, but I’m having so much fun watching you guys put this huge huge building together. Awesome. Keep it up please
Love that you provide links to the tools you use !
GLAD to see it didn't snow
Sure is nice to have 4 guys for this project!
Great work guys. You have done so much work in just a few days. America has so much wood for constructions I'm watching from Taiwan. We use metal frames to build a warehouse like this big. Well all frames here a metals. We don't have enoughl umber. We import mostly from Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam, But Thailand became smart, they don't want to sell us wood. They only want to sell furniture.
"1900's...was youtube around back then?" - hilarious! The dialog between you both is priceless!
A little note about rigging those Shackles, Kyle. The Pin of the Shackle should sit in the eye of the Strop - not against the ‘running’ leg of the Strop. When it’s against the running leg, it can wind the Pin out of the Clevis.
Technique explained is correct BUT rigging failure is extremely unlikely (to the point of impossible actually) because every pick is a new rigging. Shackle comes off and is re-rigged for the next pick. Repetitive picks on the same rigging setup, should be checked every few picks or wire the pin to the shackle body for added insurance.
Good morning happy Saturday 👍 🤟👌💪💪💪✌️
Can't wait for trusses.
You guys got it going on , would love to work with you both. 👍👍👍
That’s awesome work your smashing it out
Kyle admits his mistakes. He’s such an honest guy
In a good way^ has strong integrity
Nice to see your son wanting to put his hands to work in the family business.
on vacation in Florida getting my post frame build fix.
Shackle is backwards, put pin in loop of strap, the tightening side can spin the pin out
Great Build. Thanks for telling your story.
Good work as usual guys. Thanks for the videos Kyle
YOU GUYS ROCK
That hammer strike made it worthwhile
You guys are a solid crew!
Hi Kyle and Greg. Love watching your videos even if im not a builder. So funny when you tease each other. Its also very informative. Keep up the good work on site and on RUclips :D
The burn at 20:04, and the sound effects. lol.
I think Cole needs to take on the role of perpetual Hard Ass, to keep you two jokers in line.
🤘😎
This has to be one of the funniest videos you have ever made,all be it a bit inadvertent!! Lol sometimes a blind nut gets a squirrel!!!
love and like your video,s every time. keep going whit te buildings
“That sounds stupid, I don’t wanna hurt my legs I gotta walk the next day”
Well oiled machine👍...Those American Made Stormguard nails are the best ring shanks PERIOD IMO...Coming along great...Reminder>>get those safety glasses on...Especially when driving those big ring shanks hand drives...One deflected nail from a framing hammer mis-hit comes out of the hole FAST...not worth losing an eye 🙏
I'm not sure if someone already mentioned it.......put the pin of the clevis on the eye. Hypothetically, IF someone left too much slack, the sling pulling against the pin could back the pin out.
Awesome work gents!
Every pick is a new rig. The pins just won’t unscrew that quickly.
Anyone else feeling the need for a nail driving contest? Cole invited!
Good job.
So fascinating and fun to watch.
Yeah, the Magni!
Pretty cool not only teaching your own kid but his buddy too
Time is marked by the corn growing in the background.
Cowboys for sure what a load of Boll.x.
Kyle, Ive been watching youtube since 1879. 😜😎
Awesome
25:40 when Kyle didn’t really wanna tell Greg he was right lol
Eps. 1-2-3-4-5 and now 6 .. i wil wait for 7 ... Goodluck guys 👍👍👍
Rule number one of job site safety. have fun
Lift with your back in a twisting, jerking motion.
DUDE! THANK YOU❤
Love all these videos. Side note, i want that Matabo track saw.
Awesome love seeing your content 🔥🔥
Thanks great job
looks great guys weldone
Awesome work...
Remember Kyle, it's all fun and games until somebody gets hurt, then it's hilarious!
I enjoy all your videos, but i really apricate when you show things not going right and how you deal with them.
You got one guy saying eye protection, and another saying ear protection. So I guess I will go with always hold your own nail😂
I've been Iron working for years just have to say use a spreader beam when erecting your walls.
Using the 2 machines (Skytrack and skid steer) essentially does the same thing as a spreader bar. They could get away with just one machine, using a spreader bar though. Either machine could lift those wall sections easily. That stinger jib on the skid steer would be my 2nd choice though.
Norm Abram would be disappointed with Greg not wearing his safety glasses. Good stuff so far
Well norm is not there.... Boo hoo
Waiting on part 6!!!
