THIS is my kind of DIY! Awesome! No some polished, produced TV show bullshit, but REAL, good work done by a REAL person just gettin' it done, complete with genuine, hard work and expletives 😁 Love it! Looks great, Dan! Many thanks for sharing! I'm about to buy a house with an attached car port with three walls and I'm looking to close the front with some sliding barn doors and I will definitely be doing some similar work so this is truly inspirational - thanks again!
Just another perspective on the anchor bolts. I work in an industrial plant and we move machinery/cranes pretty often, so we always drill all the way through the concrete. That way, if you ever move what is anchored, you can just drive the rest of it into the dirt instead of having to cut off the excess. I know it's not really applicable here, but something to keep in mind! I really enjoyed the video man, planning on screening in my back patio and this helped a lot!
@@brittanyhollis1044 Yeah supply shortages on EVERYTHING compliments of a pathetic Biden as president and his moronic administration. I hope people have learned a lesson by the time we get thru this horrific 4 years. TRUMP 2024!!
I'm in a similar boat. New house, only a carport. Even worse, it's on a hill and the carport is like a wind tunnel. Nice to watch someone else go through the process.
This is great. No project ever goes as planned, eh, so you make it fit with creative use of truck and sledgehammer! And now it’s load bearing after all. Nice explanation of drilling and wedge anchors, which is exactly what I needed to know. Thanks for sharing 😊
Very nice! I’m about to lose my garage and gain a carport and this is exactly what I need! Building walls isn’t my forte but I am handy and wife is too. Thanks for the idea and video very informative.
Love the Benny Hill theme music. Too funny. Also, its a relief to see someone else get frustrated and lose their temper. I have thrown so many things. So many.
Thank you Dan, i been waiting for years to do this, finally a good video that explains well, you make it look easy, Im doing it next week, thank youuuuuuuuu!!!
Love!! your can do spirt dude! So sorry you didn't use a treated sill plate. You had me crackin up several times, but overall that was pretty informative.... also, the Benny Hill music made my day! Thanks for posting! Cant wait to see the finished product!
Good job brother even if you hate wood! Lol I wood actually do the pre drilling move the wood then drill the concrete so you get more of the anchor in the concrete then move the wood back. Then install anchors
Working on a project exactly like this. Had to taper the studs a half inch as well but just realised I went the wrong way, forced the wall in, now my header looks lifted slightly😳
Looks good. I'm thinking about doing this as well. Not many videos like this on youtube so it was nice to find this. Looking forward to the next parts. Thanks for making this.
No you don't want to leave any space. What you're referring to is your margin of error to work with. You always want everything snug. Bottom plate has to be pressure treated lumber. If it were load-bearing it would require a double top plate and a double bottom plate. Only the bottom plate needs to be frustrated the rest of the lumber can be regular number two yellow pine.
0:01: I'm thinking to myself, "Ok, someone who knows what they're doing.' 1:47: "Take everything I say here with a grain of salt. I don't know what I'm doing." Me: Fuck.
Does this compromise the structure at all? Was gonna do just one wall on one side of the rv carport and the company told me it was designed to sway a little bit. So if I made a firm wall it could be less structural sound. Which seems strange but what do I know
My man, that wasn't a pain in the ass by far, that was you framing in a nice and very tight frame, you just helped the structure of that carport overall and your frame will feel damn good and sturdy. Few good tips from a licensed building contractor to a metal contractor... I believe you did a damn good job and I don't have a single lick of shade at all to throw, you good by me man. You are on the other hand making it 4gauge harder on yourself and here's some tips my man. 4gauge is a metal term yes? lol - Detailing: Just go 16oc and mark at the 15 1/4 and place your x on the right, move on... repeat. You did that but production/day off get it done quick but right... you already marked on the side, just mark some rough line traces on the long side and drop your x's move on. - Headers: That structure you have you do need a couple 2x6 in it's place but man you good with what you got. For that structured carport, in the future, double up your jacks for the door/window headers because although it's not loaded, there is a structure point that carries load to the other end so be safe ;-) - In the future, although you have the ground contact, place a moisture barrier strip down that frame line. Also just for extra precaution, wrap the lowers with some sort of flashing as that rain seems to hit that spot directly on the bottom and imagine that wood. PT or not, protect it. If you haven't already I'm sure you did... block your framing for rigidity. Alright now time for me to be the social media code compliant person except i'm not knit picking to bash lol... - Your right side jack stud is not tight to the sill plate stud, cut it out and place a new tight fitting piece ... That's it ;-) lol "Amatuer hour" my ass, I have yet to find an amatuer that actually uses plywood not OSB on ther sheeting. You the man!!!!
I'm planning on moving from Cold new england to sunny miami soon, the houses im looking at often have car ports and I was wondering if this kind of project was feasible. Thanks for these vids!!
This is so funny, I found you with a random search, but based on the catchment and foliage, I'm guessing you're on the Hilo side of the Big Island... maybe Puna district? That's where I am too, and I'm also looking at how to enclose my carport. Anyway, good video, thanks!
Glad you got it in there, personally I would've framed it in. Wouldn't know how bad the concrete is or how un leveled the original framing is. Wouldn't want to be lifting up things that shouldn't lift up haha
I'm having a hard time finding a video showing the full frame-in process. Once you attach the bottom plate to concrete, how TF do you attach the studs to the bottom plate? They can't just sit on top of it
Make sure it's not in a low area if it is water may run in then you might need to keep it trenches and run the water into the road side ditch that's what I have to do happen where you ull the car in the water didn't go in there just went in at the front and side
Thanks, I did not get permits, shouldn't be an issue, I've heard that if you try to sell without having permits it can possibly be an issue, but if you build to code you can always get them after the fact. Look up your local laws if you are concerned tho! Thanks for watching!

Watching this in 2021 listening to "wood is cheap" lol
Yeah I'm thinking the same thing. So much has changed over the past couple of years.

2023 still untrue 😂
Immediately went to the comments to look for this 🤣
aaand 2024 😢😢
It's awesome that you kept the part where you got frustrated lol We've all been there
...and the head shake from the SO.
@@Uncivilife ....'Babe!' was in there, too. The universal SO statement
I'm in a similar boat.

Nice to watch someone else go through the process.
2024 and encouraged by your video chief. Thanks for keeping it real.

Great job . I love the detail. It gives me confidence to tackle this project
That rain sounds soothing
I was absolutely dying at 26:10 lmao! I think that is most of us, even though we really should value opportunity cost. Great vid man

Thanks for a great DIY vid. Comments are helpful! Love the Benny Hill reference. I see a lot of similarity to Hawaii DYI and AK DYI!
This was great man! I hope you guys stayed safe and relatively dry
Awesome work! handy trick, double nut the stud when beating them in so you dont Jack up the tip. And just reuse the bashing nut lol
Thank you Dan, i been waiting for years to do this, finally a good video that explains well, you make it look easy, Im doing it next week, thank youuuuuuuuu!!!
A few mistakes made but none that will be a problem,
I personally loved the laid back attitude .
Concrete bits will drill the 2×4 as well
Great job my guy. This helps me tremendously!!

Thanks for watching and commenting! Stay tuned, I have to edit the next parts still, they are coming soon!
Hey, just letting you know, part 2 just went up and part 3 will be up soon!
Excellent keep this up. Hammers to the fingers suck lol.
Gr8t video. Thanks, Ready for your next video. Thanx Again.

Awesome job!!!
I live in Waianae in Oahu, I was looking to do this as well. Thanks for the video!
I’m going to do this for a friend in Waianae
base plate isn't pressure treated, besides that looks awesome
Ahh! I'm not the only one who throws aggravating schtuff!
Did you do any flashing? Im getting ready to do mine but i want to make sure everything is waterproofed correctly
I will be doing a carport conversion soon. But you want the wall to go in tight
u dont need footings or a stem wall to close the carport out?
I’m sorry if I missed this question. How much did it cost about to do this big project? Thanks
Does this compromise the structure at all? Was gonna do just one wall on one side of the rv carport and the company told me it was designed to sway a little bit. So if I made a firm wall it could be less structural sound. Which seems strange but what do I know
Good stuff
Thanks
Now it is 24 inches on center, if you want something that is more energy-efficient. Heat transfer through the wood easier than through the air.

"Amatuer hour" my ass, I have yet to find an amatuer that actually uses plywood not OSB on ther sheeting. You the man!!!!
I appreciate it my man, thank you for watching!
Dude you should be teacher. That was a terrific response.
I'm planning on moving from Cold new england to sunny miami soon, the houses im looking at often have car ports and I was wondering if this kind of project was feasible. Thanks for these vids!!
I wonder how much $ now??? I had to buy plywood in Homer, AK and almost shat myself!
You dont have to use treated lumber at the bottom?
Did I hear you say you were doubling up the 2x4s on top of the framed wall? Or am I tripping
That first wall should have had a huge window. Your view is amazing. Why hid it
I wonder if this will ever be affordable again.
awesome video man buuuut i aint ever seen a hammer drill that looked like that.....
This is so funny, I found you with a random search, but based on the catchment and foliage, I'm guessing you're on the Hilo side of the Big Island... maybe Puna district? That's where I am too, and I'm also looking at how to enclose my carport. Anyway, good video, thanks!
did he do the concrete himself as well?

@@autumneckley7465 toenail them in
nails through the studs down at an angle (toenails )
You put two top plates so that joists can be placed anywhere instead of directly over a stud. All about force or weight distribution.
Great video!! Thx.
Make sure it's not in a low area if it is water may run in then you might need to keep it trenches and run the water into the road side ditch that's what I have to do happen where you ull the car in the water didn't go in there just went in at the front and side
A lot easier to fasten walls on preexisting structures with a ram set. Cheaper too
Did you have to get a permit?
Nice
Thank you!
How much did this cost you approximately ? Can you drop a list of materials maybe?
And they are called King studs they're the ones that go all the way from the top to bottom then next is your cripple.
I am planing on converting my open carport to a garage do i need a building permit
Did you get the answer?
Part 2! Im about to attempt this
Coming soon! sorry for the wait! thanks for watching
Hey, just letting you know, part 2 just went up and part 3 will be up soon!
You did pretty well, except the bottom plate should of been treated. Anytime you put lumber to concrete has to be treated.
Thanks man, I'll remember that one! makes sense! Thanks for watching
PT yes
Believe it's two a out a foot apart all the way down for two by four and u want to nail on a an angle with nail fun
You can saturate in used motor oil from the exterior. It will stop all degradation.
Thanks
Quick tip: dip your bit on vinegar so it could be easier to drill into concrete.
i've never heard of that, what does the vinegar do? Thanks for watching
This crazy old man explained it to me years ago, it cleans the bit and like weakens the cement while you are drilling
Vinegar dissolves the limestone in the cement. Good tip, trying to do this but the permits have me doubting it.
lol those anchor bolts are only rated for like 20-30 ft/lbs
And like always...the wife comes out to watch and "supervise". 🤦🏾♂️
🤣 it’s not always bad, some of us like to learn so we can do it ourselves next time
😂😂😂🤣🤣 we have to make sure it up to OUR standards jk
Bottom plate supposed to be pressure treated.
I hate measurements lol... well done
Good stuff bro! when's part 2?
Pt. 2 coming soon! Subscribe so you don't miss it! Thanks for watching
Hey, just letting you know, part 2 just went up and part 3 will be up soon!
I need to do this because neighbors and pedestrians on the sidewalks, are nosy
Lmao 🤣 now i know what my wife goes thru when im doing projects.
Nice work. Can I ask if you're going thru a permitting process?
Thanks, I did not get permits, shouldn't be an issue, I've heard that if you try to sell without having permits it can possibly be an issue, but if you build to code you can always get them after the fact. Look up your local laws if you are concerned tho! Thanks for watching!
When’s part 2 lol eager to see result
Part 2 just went up, part 3 coming soon!
18.40 when my girlfriend watches me do things around the house.
get a life
@@F_antomas coming from you.
Thanks for the video . top uit holland
Treated wood
I live in Florida and I definitely would use treated lumber and hurricane anchors.
Enclosed
Where is part 2
Part 2 is coming soon! I need to edit still sorry for the wait! thanks for watching
Hey, just letting you know, part 2 just went up and part 3 will be up soon!
You really don't even need lumber, you can use bricks for the walls. Idiot proof.
Dude, considering youre not a professional, you know a lot of little tricks.
Not interested in subscribe can't afford to
🤘🏻🤘🏻 metal woods for fuckin
Is the frame for putting ply on a load bearing wall or not ? How would u attach the frame if u didnt have a concrete /cement floor already ?
Nice
