    at the 0:12 mark, some numbers appear on the screen when you say the word "dimensions." Those numbers are: 1920x1080. What does that represent? I crunched some numbers assuming they were inches and it came out to 14,400 sq ft. Then I assumed they were centimeters and that came out to roughly 207 sq m or 2,228 sq ft, which seems more realistic, but you keep saying 1500 sq ft, or 30x50 in one comment. Which is it? What part of the structural footprint is "shop?"

    • @DudeWeCanBuildIt
      @DudeWeCanBuildIt  9 дней назад

      1920 X 1080 is a common video resolution. It refers to how many pixels are in a single frame.
      It's an Easter egg that we left in there for fun, it has nothing to do with the dimensions of the house. There is no shop part of my house. I will be adding a detached shop later on

    5:45 a couple small self tapping screws are carrying the weight of your building??? That can't MEET CODE ??? Put one or two 3/8" or 1/2" bolts through there to carry the load.

    • @DudeWeCanBuildIt

    • @DudeWeCanBuildIt
      @DudeWeCanBuildIt  5 месяцев назад +1

      Yes, I informed them of the brick ledge beforehand.
      I would definitely opt to have them put the windows in next time. You provide the windows and they provide the "frame out". Something I learned after the process

  • @daviddeen853
    @daviddeen853 Год назад +1

    Nice. I have been looking at ideas for our future home for awhile and I keep coming back to do this our selves. Question though, if you have to frame the inside why buy a metal building kit? Would it be cheaper to just side the outside with OSB and tin and skip the steel studs? Thank you.

    • @DudeWeCanBuildIt
      @DudeWeCanBuildIt  Год назад +1

      There are a lot of variables, however, the metal building kit was quite cheap and provided the entire dried-in structure.
      By the time you price in exterior sheathing, roof trusses and supporting structures, along with your roofing deck and materials, the metal building makes a lot of sense.

  • @OhhIronyy

    Did not going with vertical sides help with framing the inside later on?

    • @DudeWeCanBuildIt

      The direction of the metal siding does not have an effect on framing the inside.

      The building was $15,500
      Permits were around $400

  • @UeberGoonProductions
    @UeberGoonProductions Год назад +3

    I do have a legit question(no hate). When they raise the walls using the block to make sure it is at the correct height, then place two screws in, those two screw are literally holding the weight of the roof and walls? Or did they go back and put bolts or something in?

    • @DudeWeCanBuildIt
      @DudeWeCanBuildIt  Год назад +1

      They came back and added two more screws to each leg. So, a total of 4 screws for each leg. It seems like they would put bolts through each leg, however, it's an engineer stamped building and that's how they want it.

    • @COVolcom
      @COVolcom Год назад +1

      I've got the same exact metal building and I never once though about that. But you're right, if they have to raise that stud to get it to the correct height, all the weight of that section is on those screws.

    • @kentuckyken
      @kentuckyken 2 месяца назад

      After completion you've got all of the exterior "skin" and all those screws holding up all of the building plus all other wall studs carrying the weight (and interior wall materials).

    Pregunta: Why are you installing the siding sheets top first? The lap where the underneath sheet sits on top of the upper piece will be susceptible to obvious water coming in as the rain roles down the building wall. Are you able to slip the underneath piece behind the top piece?

      Is that an opinion or a fact that it’s weak? It’s wind rated for 150mph. Our other videos show building the frame work for the inside and building the rest of the building. It’s pretty sturdy you should consider looking into it a little more.

    • @DudeWeCanBuildIt
      @DudeWeCanBuildIt  10 месяцев назад +2

      I don't think you are understanding the anchor type they are using. The drill bit is longer than the anchor so that it won't bottom out in the hole. When the nut is tightened, the nodule on the end expands the sleeve to make compression.
