Gabled Porch Build DIY Updated
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 фев 2023
- With some help from my wife, my friends, RUclips videos and a lot of prayer, I was able able to build a front porch with a gabled roof. I'm retired from being a network systems engineer, so I'm not a professional carpenter, but I did get a permit and it passed all 3 inspections here in Tennessee.

People do not understand, appreciate exactly how much work this is. They think it’s not a big deal!
Thank you. It was the biggest project I've ever attempted, especially since I'm not a professional carpenter, LOL.
Great job! My laundry diy took longer than expected because I did it while working full time. But I’m satisfied I did it myself !
@RoBeaird Great Job!❤❤❤❤
Thanks!
Well done! It looks great!
I admire a man that has the patients to drive all the nails by hand. I build for a living. I have nailers and do 10 x the work. I love the craftsmanship the hard way.
I was not in a hurry. I like using a hammer and nails, even if it's the hard way, LOL.
Came out awesome! The only thing better than looking at it is knowing your family helped with it! You all did a great job. Nice to see family working together!😊
Thanks, Mike!
Good to see family working together. Even the brother that’s a surprise
Yep!
Audience, what a beautiful extension to your home.
Thanks, Donald!
it is fun to watch non professionals do projects.
The satisfaction of building with wood...measuring twice, cutting once,nailing a 1000 nails never gets old...45yrs and I get excited still with each board and nail..Great Work guys!! GC in California
Thanks, Jon. Yep, the satisfaction continues every time we sit on it.
Love that old jig saw! Looks like the Black and Decker my Dad used to have
It probably IS like your dad's. I am 70 years old and had it for many years, LOL.
I laughed when I saw that as I have one and still use it. I'm 73 and just started rebuilding my second-story front porch.
What a nice porch! Nice to see everybody pitching in to help!
Thanks. Could not have done it without them or without my Heavenly Helper!
It looks great! Great job!
Thanks!
This guy is passionate about his work. That is for sure
Thank you, sir!
Nice work! You all did an amazing job and I can appreciate how much time and effort you put into the project. It turned out great 👍
Thanks, Andrew, for letting me know!
Just an incredible job. Thanks for sharing.
I wish I would’ve seen more, of how they connected the old shingles with the new ones.
Thanks. Yep, I should have recorded more on what the roofers did. But they did a good job.
Now this is an awesome video. Totally digging the way this was put together
Thanks!
Awesome Job! 👏🏽
Thanks!
Wow, what a project. I bet you and wife are so proud! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
Nice teamwork! Looks fantastic!
Thanks!
At about 3:33 min, it is clear that this gable was built atop the existing shingles. If this meets code in that jurisdiction, fine, but I understand that it would fail inspection in some jurisdictions. It's worth investigating before duplicating this project, as a failed inspection might mandate complete removal of the gable.
It did pass all the inspections here in Tennessee.
@RoBeaird How could it pass inspection with the two load bearing headers/beams just nailed to the existing fascia?
Also, how are you going to keep the birds from building nests and crapping all over the place on top of them headers/beams?
I'm just asking because I'm going to be starting on one of these Monday 11/6/2023.
Otherwise looks very nice, thanks for sharing.
Those beams were attached to a header which was attached with big lag bolts to the existing facia. It should hold, considering my porch only comes out 7 feet from the house and it's also supported by the 6x6 posts. And most of the gabled roof is secured to the top of the existing roof. I can't keep the birds from crapping on the beams but that's the price I pay for enjoying the look of the exposed high ceiling, which came out nice after staining it. Have fun with yours!
Great job from Lincoln County TN. God Bless
Thank you! God bless from Rutherford County, TN!
Excellent video. Just what I needed. Thank you for sharing it.
Thanks! You are very welcome!

You guys did an amazing job….very inspirational….
Thank you!
What a lovely patio ❤
Thanks, Sharon!
Nice job!! Coming from a Class A contractor here, one of the best porches I've seen from a homeowner diy!! I don't blame you for hiring out the shingles either. Lol. This is better quality of work than I've seen some so-called contractors/carpenters, they put the rough into rough carpentery and need to find another career. Kudos to you, im impressed sir!!
Thanks, Tim, that means a lot coming a Class A contractor. Helps to balance out the negative comments I get here, LOL.
Nicely done guys!!!
Thank you, sir!
Beautiful job. GOD bless you and your family ❤😊
Thank you. Glory to God! May He bless you and yours as well.
So happy for you guys!
Thanks, we love the porch!
Wow!!!!
Great, fantastic, awesome job. Congratulations 👏👏👏 you and your family did a good job. Thanks for sharing. Looks beautiful ❤ God bless you 🙏
Thank you! God bless you as well!
Rigga here from Liverpool uk,,, I watched you and your good lady build your porch, you made a cracking job, it looks great looks like a good place to sit chat and have a beer or two, keep up the good work
Thanks, and greetings from Tennessee!
Beautiful work

Thank you!
Great video , thanks for posting it.
Thanks!
Superb idea scheme. I gave up on very similar and to see you all pulled it off.🎉
Thanks, it was a HUGE challenge, that required prayer and perseverance!
Turned out so good. Is exactly what we want to do.
Thanks, you can do it too!

did the same front porch on our ranch plus made 1 car into 2 car and wider driveway, nice work
Thanks. Share your pictures of your porch by joining my Facebook group, DIY Project Station: facebook.com/groups/882510523338538
The attention to detail is incredible. I was wondering why you were using the tongue and groove car siding as the roofing and then putting plywood on top until I realized you were doing a stained exposed underside. Awesome 👍
Thanks. It was a biggest project I ever tackled.
ALL THAT WITHOUT A TRUCK.....IMPRESSIVE CRAFTSMANSHIP GOOD SIR......
Thanks, Rick!
Very nice. I am planning to do this for my house. Thanks.
Thanks! If I can do it, so can you. Good luck!

I didn’t plan to watch the whole video. I did. And I wish I could’ve been there to help and learn from you!
Thanks for watching the whole video!
Very nice work I can appreciate all the hard work
I have tried to explain to my sister in law this exact look for the house, but some people just don’t have it
The house looks just about the same setup lol this can look so good on her house..
thank you for sharing your video
Thank you. Yes, the porch greatly enhanced the curb appeal.
Awesome job👍

wow !! good job sir !!👍
Thanks, Tom!
Very well done 👍
Thank you!
Very nice work.
Thank you!
I am building a double decker porch on my two and a half story 12/12 pitch colonial home. By myself. 40’ long by 10’deep by 25’ tall, I have ten foot ceilings, just setting my joists now. It was funny watching four men raise a single 6” by 6”, image me raising twelve ten footers half fourteen feet in the air by myself, the advantages of being 6’4” and 280lbs. Not difficult for this 56 year old man. Tomorrow drip edge, I am making progress!
Impressive! I know I didn't need that many guys to raise the posts but they just jumped in there. I sure couldn't do it myself, like you can. Then again, I am 70 years old and not as strong as I used to be!
This was a great video. Keep it up
Thanks, will do!
👍great job sir!👏
Thank you!
Amazing!!! well done !
Thank you!
Awsome💯beautiful work
Thank you!
Great job . I have built 3 porchs in my life time . first house , second house and my retirement house was the biggest and got help since it was 100 feet long and only my hubby and I . We were 52 and 53 when we built and used 6x6 's and built code plus Flat roof to make it easier . House was built code plus with 2x6 studs R 19 in walls and R 30 in attic and floors . Just paid to have my roof torn off and ice and water shield and new shingles and 6 inch gutters . I hired that out as hubby and i are now in our 70's . Hope you love your front porch as much as I love mine . I am up on a hill on 3 acres that I can see for miles on over 3 acres GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY FRONT PORCHS AMERICA brave night roof work
Thank you! 100 foot long porch? Wow! We also have 3 acres but don't have the view that you must have.
@@RoBeaird up on a hill has it's advantages sometimes .but lots of disadvantages also . I can see 5 different firworks shows on July 4th 2 of them being in North Carolina and in the summer there is almost always a breeze up here . BAD are the wind also , I have had to replace my whole roof because of the beating it takes and water run off has to be managed , but water collection containers are almost always full to water my veggies garden and make manure tea to fertilize garden and yard . But water run off also means I have to really watch when it rains really hard . I have one 200 gallon tank my gutters go to and that is over full and my rain barrels are full. storms are worse because I am more exposed to wind , rain and hail . But that also means lots of work . Like the new roof with ice and water shield under it new custom made drip edge and replacing 5 inch gutters with 6 inch gutters and adding 2 new downspouts . My house only had 4 over sized down spouts 10 thousand dollar hit to my bank account . Brandon home repairs and roofing did a great job . Last night the rain came down really hard and it really got windy out . so checked roof and gutters already and things so far look OK
Wow, that's a lot of improvements. Well done!
Looks superb!❤
Thanks, Fred!
That does it! I have to add a porch!

Que bonito trabajo en equipo por eso admiro a la gente de usa
Hola, soy de Argentina, me encanta lo que hicieron, además la sonrisa que le pone a todo, saludos
That jig saw is older than I am. 😂
You must be at least 50 years old, then!
Great job
Thanks!
Top notch man! I wish i knew how to do stuff like this
Thanks. You can do it. I didn't know how to do it either. Just learned as I did it. RUclips videos helped, but so many contradict each other, though.
A cool project from a cool Dude
Thanks!
Great job.
Thanks!
Good job 😊
Thanks!
Great job! I wish i could build one in my houe one day
Thanks! You should try it!
Well that came out VERY nice! One suggestion that could help you in the future is to put deck joist tape under the stair stringers and, in particular, the top riser/deck beam, which were all sitting directly on concrete. It looks like you used treated wood for the stringers, which is rot-resistant, so you technically don't need joist tape, but it is a "best practices" suggestion for a little extra moisture protection where the wood touches the concrete, that is hidden by the treads and risers. But the top riser/deck beam looked like untreated wood, so it's definitely a good idea to put tape under that beam that sits on the concrete.
But that's the only thing I noticed, and that's minor. Everything came out beautiful, and I LOVED the choice of tongue/groove roof for a nice textured ceiling below. I'm glad you put 3/4 ply on top, so roof nails wouldn't come through. The stain is perfect. You also got all the cuts right, which isn't easy to do, tying into existing slope. I'm really impressed, you did a superb job. 👏👏
Thank you, and thanks for taking the time to offer those suggestions. I hadn't even heard of joist tape. Guess that's because I'm an engineer, not a carpenter, LOL. You're right, the cuts were not easy to do. I messed up quite a few times trying to get them right.
Very nice well done
Thanks!
This is just what I need in North Carolina.
Go for it. We are really enjoying ours. North Carolina is a beautiful state, especially along the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Hola
Buenas noches...
Primero mis respetos a usted por trabajar con mucho entusiasmo ...
Muy bonito trabajo...
Además uno está aprendiendo con usted.
Saludos cordiales

Santiago de Chile.
Muchas gracias!
Very nice. On the gutter and front fascia; my personal preference would be to work off of an A frame ladder before I'd put an extension ladder at those angles. Only because I had one kick out on me many years ago and it was not a fun ride down Awesome job!
Thanks for watching and for your good advice. I'm sorry you had to learn the hard way! My A frame ladders were not high enough to reach the areas that only my extension ladder could reach. But it did make me nervous, LOL.
Just beautiful
Thanks!
Beautiful !!!!
Thanks!
Nice work watching gave me an idea to so mines tks🙏
Thanks. Glad I could help!

That jigsaw looks like it’s from the early 70’s??
Nice looking project!
Thanks! Yep, my old jigsaw is still going strong!
old school black and decker
@@RoBeaird I too have an old Black & Decker. Bought a cheap clearance set from Walmart in 1990. Jig Saw, Drill, & 1/3 sheet Sander. That was my first saw & it's still running! Thanks for these lovely videos. At 67, things are a little more difficult than they were, but you & your wife inspire me to keep plugging at it. I first found your catio video, & was so impressed by the accessibility of your techniques. This lovely porch is out of my reach, both skill & cost wise, but I'm impressed clear down to my socks! Great Job!!! 🏆
I have some family in Tennessee, & everyone I've met from there has been real nice folks. May God continue to Bless You & Yours! 🙏☮️🍀
Awesome job! It might look cool if it was covered above the header, then some type of circle in the middle any hoot nice work 🙏☮️🇺🇸
Awesome job. I’ve have a metal roof same pitch as this video. I’ve had the luck from hell getting someone to build my porch s 12x20. I must of had 5 people come take a look to give me a quote and not one got back to me. Unbelievable!
I hope you can get yours built. 12x20 is huge, mine is only 7x16.

Have fun!

That's an OG black n decker jig saw....my dad had one when I was a kid 😊
Yep, it's still going strong!
@@RoBeaird man those things are solid!! I used the heck out of his building speaker boxes back in the 90's LOL 😂
You inspired me to do mine, sir…🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡💪💪💪💪
