I tried to get a hold of this guy several times and he never really got back to me i thought he went out of business, i got the blueprints but nothing else really made sense that's why I'm looking at your video haha
This is neat, I am up in Alford, Fla. I am building a 12X24 Gambrel Barn Shed, I have a metal plat form then with 3/4 plywood then with 2X4 walls and the same with the truss are 2x4.. It is fun doing this..
I built a 12x20 Gambrel Roof barn very similiar to what is seen in this video except I put a 6" concrete floor in and used 2x6's for my walls. The lower level has a 7 foot ceiling & the 2nd floor has a peak of 6-1/2 feet. I built it in 2007, all by my self (48 yp then) and it cost me $3,100 for everything. I had to pull a permit (living in suburban Chicago) and the building inspector complemented me on the workmanship on the final inspection. Had a lot of fun building it and learned a lot too. BTW, before starting, I got a quote from a large (unnamed) company and it was over $7,000 and the sales person did not understand why I wanted treated wood for the sills. Even the experts can be idiots.
That's a great looking barn. I'm preparing to start a similar model but a much smaller 10x12. I'm trying to figure out the best way to anchor the 4x4 wood rails to the ground in case of a massive storm. Do you have any suggestions for anchoring?
It looks like your roof sheeting isn't lining up square to the joists. I read a note in the plans that that could happen if the floor isn't square. Is that what happened?
The safety harness is always a good idea, the older we get, the less we can tolerate falling to Earth from great heights. You could have built your trusses and ends on the attic deck...less gravity to fight that way. The stairs look too wide, you could have put the "turning platform" at the top instead of the bottom. Everybody's a critic...right?
Roofers prefer to install OSB roof sheathing with marked side inward as it is the smoother side, allowing better grip for footing on the outside surface where they are working. Exterior walls are typically done with marking on the outside for nailing purpose as you state.
nice shed! 2:50 you use strand board for joining the trusses. why not to use plywood or even wood? strand is not for joining critical elements/ its structure is loose. no safe. just think bout it :-)
Generally agree, at least for widths > 12'. That said, this building gains significant structural integrity due to the added full width spans supporting the loft floor. I built a similar one in the UP of Michigan 25 years ago using 1/2" OSB gussets for the rafters. It will certainly outlive me.
Congrats on powering through your 50th birthday with all cylinders firing! I'm 57 and about to build a similar shed.
Great job, that was a lot of work

Y'all are brave working without gloves! I've learned my lesson though and my hands aren't so tough! Nice build thanks for the video.

Wow v pretty v good job thanks again
Thanks Chuck
Look great project, but I imagine a lot of money was spent. Thank you for sharing one more project.
You buy material monthly ▪︎Key is NOT to borrow money. Should only cost Approximately four thousand for all the material
@@colinchampollion4420 Amazing tips.Thank you so much for your advice.
Especially now days we all should STOP USING CREDIT & PAY CASH ~no more debt what sooo ever😊
@@colinchampollion4420 Thank bro.is nice your advice.God bless you always.

looks great did you get a permit for any of the work---built mine also, in Florida also
Working on same project right now)

How do you insulate cathedral Ceiling? :-)
Chuck Im looking to do the same thing do you mind shearing your overall cost
Its been a few years, and costs have gone up, but I think I spend about 5-7K.
it looks like you installed OSB with the wrong side inward, the markings had to be outward, it was applied to see where to drive nails.
Roofers prefer to install OSB roof sheathing with marked side inward as it is the smoother side, allowing better grip for footing on the outside surface where they are working. Exterior walls are typically done with marking on the outside for nailing purpose as you state.
how long did it take? did you work full time on it straight through?
What size is this
audio is hard to hear.
