Was watching your last video and my wife was there with me, and she goes "do you really find this entertaining?" Lol - yes, yes I do. Thanks for the vids
It's amazing how quiet the job site is with cordless tools. When I was in construction, there would have been a compressor and a generator going all day long. It was always such a relief when they were shut off at the end of the day.
I assume this is about kids. It’s definitely life changing lol… not in the good way. Being able to save all your time and money for yourself and your wife alone is life changing.
Greg you’re the man ! Tough trade but sky is the limit ! Take your supplements you will need them it’s a physical job ! I spent 30 yrs serving let’s say & limited income. Now I am a finish carpenter, cabinet maker ( not full kitchens but I contract them) plus hv my license! Now I jump outta bed and am so thankful fresh air making something for ppl , no one trying to hurt me ( big plus)! You’re doing a fantastic job brother !
I know.... I'm the guy with OCD and my partner is the guy who keeps me moving before I obsess for too long on any given area! Having a 2nd set of eyes on a job really helps immensely!
I have the same exact forklift! With the exact same problem! Mine is a 2000, same 4BTZ. I've replaced the turbo, injection pump and rebuilt all the cylinders, retro fitted a set of cat 950 forks to it, and the started shut the bed on Friday! I still love that stupid forklift! Friday Parts loves me tho!
On the chains, if they are too tight or loose you can take half link by moving the hook on the chain around the post one link to gain or reduce tension, since its wrapped it move half the distance. hope this makes sense. Should be a game changer!!
There are pros and cons to stick/post framing. Post is quick, easy, and a rectangular house that matches every other post frame house. Stick framing is more about the design, with choice of shape and levels. Both are built to the experience level of the builder, so you get what you pay for.
All of the residential houses I ever decked, we always back decked from the bottom and skipped a two foot strip until after all the facia soffit were done. Our line was always two feet up from the end of the rafter tails
Nice job! Your two-man crew is considerably TOP TIER as far as Efficiency, Production, and Quality. Repetition helps to increase your speed of course-and all your basic processes remain constant but it's easy to see that a lot of thought and planning is going into your jobs. Thanks for all the great content. I'm always entertained as I watch. As a forty-two-year veteran of commercial construction, I will say that there are times when you two really go out to the limits as far as safety is concerned. I am sure that you are doing things in a manner that you are comfortable with for the most part, but please be aware that you may be exposing young green workers to processes that are new to them, and care must be taken to keep inexperienced workers from adopting poor safety habits as they learn- and believe me, your channel could absolutely be used as a teaching tool as well as for entertainment. Have a Happy and safe 2025.
Guys, I really appreciate these build videos. A couple of questions: (1) What is the cost and performance comparison with 2x6, 24" o.c. construction for a residential build? I know you like it, but is it a cost savings (combined materials and labor)? (2) Do all post-frame builders use the same approach? (3) Who might you recommend in West Michigan (GR/Holland/Grand Haven)? How do you handle post placement when the building dimensions aren't evenly 8 ft, e.g., 60' x 36'? Thanks again for great videos. They've improved over the years. I appreciate your desire to continue improving your process and sharing your thoughts.
Yo Greg, congratulations man! All the best. Having that little one gives you so much more incentive to get up out of bed and go to work once middle age starts to creep in.
They do make chain binders that snap over like you are using but the one hook you can screw in or out for that half a link that you need. Check with any good tarp shop that makes and sells stuff for trucks hauling steel or go to Walcott Iowa truck stop I know they have them
No matter how you look at it it will save you time and money by having them pre-installed because if they’re running wild you can still straighten up your wall and then cut off the your over hinges and if you comes up short for your purlins you can adjust to me makes up The difference . It makes more sense to have them install the issue that you might come up with is from transporting looks like they would be easy to break
Rumor on Instagram that this is Greg's house? That Kyle's companies are gifting a house for Greg and his new family. Good to see hes spreading the wealth. Greg deserves it 💰💰💰💰
53:28 - as someone who has a three car garage, with two doors where one is single car and one is two car, the owners might wish they had gone with the two car door rather than two single doors. That wider door is much easier to get vehicles into the garage.
I believe I remember you saying why you don’t use the screw type binders, but looking from the outside, it seems like you could make finer adjustments with the screw type binder.
Good morning. Watching the video in a hotel room Courtyard (Elmhurst IL). In the area for a volleyball tournament in Bensenville IL. Kyle emphatically agreed with Greg regarding about additional column in the corner where house meets garage.
Spacing the trusses on 2 ft. center by using a continuous 2x10 header bolted to each post would eliminate the need for roof purlins altogether. Allowing you to sheath the roof and drywall the ceiling like a typical new home, as well as adding the necessary fire blocking between the top of the wall and the truss. Pole barn builders in my area do this all the time.
So buy 4X as many trusses plus 2x12 to wrap the house and block the headers to the ground to not use perlins but you still need those 2x4s but all cut into blocks to put between the trusses
@@timothydillon6421 It would be 3 times the amount of trusses if R.R. is setting their posts 8 ft. on center. I don't see why you would still need the 2x4s cut into blocks as you say since the trusses would be on 2 ft center and are used everyday in new homes that way with sheathing. Believe it or not what I'm saying is more common in pole barns and barndominiums around the country than the technique R.R. is doing. In all fairness Morton does their buildings like R.R. but most do not.
That's how my pole garage/shop is built, we placed the trusses 4 foot on center and used 2x4's flat instead of plywood since we have a metal roof. Trusses are surprisingly cheap, in my case less than $250 each and make for a stronger roof. If the trusses were 2 foot on center then drywall could hang directly on the truss, which means no need for any blocking inside the building.
@nathanbedfordforrest6029 on a 32 foot building that 4 extra trusses plus either headers or more posts. $1500 will buy you a lot of 2x4s that you bought and used anyway. If I'm the extra 1500 you could add a bay and have a 40ft building
Big difference (hate to use advantage for either side) is stick/traditional framing is a lot easier for the average DIY'er, Handy Man, or basic carpenter to put up. Plus the "fancy" material costs of Post Frame vs Standard lumber. Although when you factor in the cost of your exterior 2x6 lumber vs engineered posts I would imagine dollar for dollar there wouldn't be much difference. One might argue that "Post frame" costs more, but if you look at the open concept which is pretty expensive to do these days with LVL, Steel prices for beams, plus the various hardware to lock it all together (joist hangers, etc). It would be interesting to do the costing of an average XX square foot home using both methods.
Would twisting the chain a revolution or two give you some amount of fine tuning the pull? Usually you don't want to twist the chain but you aren't testing the strength of those chains.
What kind of pre planning or considerations are you planning for mounting typical home decor type items. TV's, pictures, display shelves, ect.. With stick framing you have a stud every 16 inches. but with this style it appears everything has to be at one level or you will have to use crappy wall anchor everywhere.
They'll put more wall girts on the inside, just like they have on the outside, probably a 2x6 nailed flat on 2 ft center. Plenty of structure for hanging cabinets and pictures.
Hi I really enjoy your videos. I do have a question for you about having a shop and house all connected under one roof. Have your customers or yourself had any issues with fumes or smells getting into the house portion of the building? My wife and I have been considering a build like your modest house but I had concerns about fumes from working on vehicles or starting up the diesel pickup.
You have to get rid of those chain binders and get the ratchet chain binders this way you can ratchet where you need perfectly set a time to pool and find that sweet spot upgrade to the ratchet style binders and you’ll never go back
Could you not cut the purlins and land them split on the truss. I know there is not much to nail to but you could sandwich them in those truss/nail plates for strength. The do hammer in and would stiffen the joint considerably. You wouldnt have to stagger the purlins and consequently stagger the steel nailing either or the sheathing nailing.
Does a post frame structure use less lumber than a conventional 16 inch on center stick frame building? If so, what is the percentage of lumber savings?
Yeah only relying on the sheer strength of the fasteners and getting none of the compressive strength of the column, like in a stick frame build he was contrasting to.
@ I’ve never understood the headers design in normal house builds in the US. This one is at least in a direction that the board has its integral strength. I would never classify that as a header since there’s nothing, other than some nails, that transfer the load to the footing. I guess we’ll see when the trusses goes in in the next video if they add brackets or not

Was watching your last video and my wife was there with me, and she goes "do you really find this entertaining?" Lol - yes, yes I do. Thanks for the vids
Mine says his voice and how he talks is annoying and feels bad for his wife.
Women have a sixth sense about those things it seems.
@@Highlander-ys2eior just wrong 😂
His voice isn’t annoying.
Women don’t like men feeling happy at something they know nothing about 😂
I agree, rather watch these guys than most of the crap on mainstream television 🎉
Haha same. My wife says he sounds and looks Joel from parenthood lol and the funny thing is Joel is a contractor in the show
It's amazing how quiet the job site is with cordless tools. When I was in construction, there would have been a compressor and a generator going all day long. It was always such a relief when they were shut off at the end of the day.
end of day eargasm
When I was a kid helping my grandfather the site was quite because we were uaing handsaws.
Tell Greg Congrats! Life changing moment about to happen for him.
Poor Greg. Life about to go down the shitter 😢
I assume this is about kids. It’s definitely life changing lol… not in the good way. Being able to save all your time and money for yourself and your wife alone is life changing.
Congratulations Greg and new Bride on the new child coming. What a great adventure!
yeah you would think he would wear a hard hat
I really appreciate how you file past mistakes in your memory and finally do things to prevent those mistakes from being repeated.
Just have to say, Greg is clutch and the banter between you two is refreshing in this day and age.
Congrats Greg! Bossman needs to give you a raise, I mean we know who carries this crew.
My uncle once to told me, "you hammer like lightning". I said, "Thank You" and then he said, "you never strike twice in the same place".
😂😂😂😂
Congratulations Gregg!
God bless you and your family and may it continue to grow with forever happenes.
Just love the two-man crew.... Having an able partner and friend makes a huge difference!
Greg you’re the man ! Tough trade but sky is the limit ! Take your supplements you will need them it’s a physical job ! I spent 30 yrs serving let’s say & limited income. Now I am a finish carpenter, cabinet maker ( not full kitchens but I contract them) plus hv my license!

You’re doing a fantastic job brother !
Another great video, looks soo easy when you'all do the job. congrats Gregg & Wife.😄🥳
I appreciate how patient Greg is working with "OCD Kyle". I often catch the "yeah yeah....let's get on with it" look in his eyes.....GREAT JOB BOYS!
I know.... I'm the guy with OCD and my partner is the guy who keeps me moving before I obsess for too long on any given area! Having a 2nd set of eyes on a job really helps immensely!
Amazing how much skilled workers can accomplish with modern tools and equipment. And not cutting corners or skimping!
Man, you teach this stuff so well! Making a guy with no money, no tools, and no time consider building one! Lol. One day I will do it.
Even if you DIY you'll save a lot on labor, but you're still buying a lot of expensive materials. The concrete alone costs a fortune.
I have the same exact forklift! With the exact same problem! Mine is a 2000, same 4BTZ. I've replaced the turbo, injection pump and rebuilt all the cylinders, retro fitted a set of cat 950 forks to it, and the started shut the bed on Friday! I still love that stupid forklift! Friday Parts loves me tho!
It's awesome watching you guys thinking through a problem and explaining your thoughts keep up the great work guys I've learned so much from you
QUALITY SELLS ITSELF
ALL DAY LONG!!!
☮️💜🇺🇸
im impressed how well you guys were aiming the drill for the post pilot holes!
There are adjustable chain binders. Ratchet style. Very accurate
On the chains, if they are too tight or loose you can take half link by moving the hook on the chain around the post one link to gain or reduce tension, since its wrapped it move half the distance. hope this makes sense. Should be a game changer!!

Rehkemper is down in our area in S. Illinois, St Rose is the little town where they were started
Nice, just as I was finnished watching another clip on yt
Cheers from Sweden
I had an addition to my house and the trusses came from Rekamper out of St Rose. FYI they make ratcheting load binders
And the telehandler is paid for!😁
Outstanding craftsmanship as always
Congratulations Greg 🎉
Kyle and Greg 💪🏽putting in the work! Love this channel can’t wait until the next video comes out each week!

“The E is silent” had me rolling for a minute. lol I too thought how would that be silent.
Thanks for yet another awesome video! 😁👍🏼😁👍🏼
Wow you make it sound like us old carpenters were absolutely not worth our paycheck. Thanks very much.
Most weren't, lazy half doers. Nap in place.
So Greg Was Single In The DiResta Build & Here He Is Married & Building A Family! Congratulations Bro, Kyle Advertised Really Well For You. 🤣😂
Looking great R&R you two work great together
Yo Greg, congratulations man! All the best. Having that little one gives you so much more incentive to get up out of bed and go to work once middle age starts to creep in.
You two are such a great team. Love the build.
RR Builders! In the building!

Not true. I already give my good buddy Greg a house to live in. This is for a client. Someday Greg and I both will build new homes. But not yet
It’s pronounced “Ray Kemper” lol. They have been building trusses for me for about 25 years. Great company to work with.
Very sorry to hear about the loss of your dog.
😢
Congrats Greg! Great video guys
Another very good video my guys that always makes me grin my guy's
Awesome job guys.
Congratulations Greg!! ❤
Best building vids for me mate , all good 👍
53:28 - as someone who has a three car garage, with two doors where one is single car and one is two car, the owners might wish they had gone with the two car door rather than two single doors. That wider door is much easier to get vehicles into the garage.
On the brace chains: add a turn buckle for the fine adjustment.
Congrats Greg and Family!!
Congrats Greg!
Congrats Greg, kids are awesome!
As I said a few months ago. Greg has a kid on the way
wish these guys were in the pnw!!!
Another great series!
Good bye telehandler. Hello new Magni!!
I believe I remember you saying why you don’t use the screw type binders, but looking from the outside, it seems like you could make finer adjustments with the screw type binder.
Good morning. Watching the video in a hotel room Courtyard (Elmhurst IL). In the area for a volleyball tournament in Bensenville IL. Kyle emphatically agreed with Greg regarding about additional column in the corner where house meets garage.
It’s crazy the amount of different tool brands you guys use. You should do a “best brand for each tool” video some time.
Kyle used to upload "Toolsday" videos where he showcased various brands. Search his channel history!
Greg: "I think the 'e' is silent." 😂😂
Don’t think I have seen the gel tire shine I’ll definitely keep an eye out for it thanks.
You should try speed binders that are used for chaining equipment to trailers.
The old telehandler started like the battery was triple the cold cranking amps. I thought that starters were either good or bad.
Anything that is paid for and pre DEF i would keep it till it blows up
Congrats on the incoming offspring!
They make ratching binders. And they make a speed binder that requires a 1/2 drill with 14mm socket. There is also a brand named Revolok 6600

Have you ever looked at using ratcheting binders for your chains?
Get those glasses on Greg when nailing those big one by hand
Not necessary

My lumber package is way less than traditional stock for sure
@@RRBuildings What percentage difference do you think?
In stick framing you put the header to the outside then the insulators put ridged insulation on the inside of the header….
😅 those saw horses have seen better days
reminds me of mike holmes remarking that you never need to go to the gym if you are a contractor lol
Speed binders may be worth the investment instead of those ratchet ones
how about a ratcheting binder used to tie down equipment on trailers ???
I saw that miss at 0:43 poor greg
I wish you guys worked near me. I would have you do my upcoming build!!
Watching the dual free swinging hammering I wonder what your on the nail head hit rate is? 🤔 I’m going with 95% plus.
Would twisting the chain a revolution or two give you some amount of fine tuning the pull? Usually you don't want to twist the chain but you aren't testing the strength of those chains.

Greg should take care of that widow maker in the tree so it doesn’t hit the house.
Why not use ratcheting chain tensioners for infinite adjustments?
2:36 "I'm tired of this grandpa!" 😅
How do people live with windmills? The one in the background was driving me nuts just watching it on the video.
Did you install some washers backwards? All flat washers are directional. 😉
Have you considered a chain walker like swi fencing use?
So your out side headers are only depending on the sheer strength of the fasteners?
Girders are 4' apart center to center?
What kinda boots you guys rocking?
Could you not cut the purlins and land them split on the truss. I know there is not much to nail to but you could sandwich them in those truss/nail plates for strength. The do hammer in and would stiffen the joint considerably. You wouldnt have to stagger the purlins and consequently stagger the steel nailing either or the sheathing nailing.
I noticed that sometimes you guys and other times you drive screws. How do you decide which to use?
Toenailing a screw is much easier. Also a screw is useful when wanting to pull boards together. Other times nails are faster and cheaper.
The way the trusses are delivered would negate the tails arriving fitted surely, they wouldn't survive the trip off of the trailer.
Does a post frame structure use less lumber than a conventional 16 inch on center stick frame building? If so, what is the percentage of lumber savings?
Are the headers only nailed to the posts? That feels like a bad way to transfer the load
That feels??? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Get back to us when you can verify that you know
Yeah only relying on the sheer strength of the fasteners and getting none of the compressive strength of the column, like in a stick frame build he was contrasting to.
@ I’ve never understood the headers design in normal house builds in the US. This one is at least in a direction that the board has its integral strength. I would never classify that as a header since there’s nothing, other than some nails, that transfer the load to the footing. I guess we’ll see when the trusses goes in in the next video if they add brackets or not
@kristiangoransson6104 you add blocking down the post
