Such a great video. Thanks for doing this makes me feel like I could possibly accomplish it on my own. And I don't really have any skills like this at all LOL so how much did this cost you without the concrete being included into the price?
How to video done by somebody who watched a how to video. Lol.… the concrete deck looked to be poured with no footer or rebar. Also seen you do quite a bit of toenail nailing on the roof. No hurricane straps?… yikes!!!!! I don’t know building codes in Georgia but down here in Florida. This is the exact reason why you have to hire licensed contractors and electricians if this was done in Florida almost everything you built would require a permit and engineering. Just with having no footer and no straps on your roof. The structure you put up doesn’t have the integrity strength you think during a high wind.
Sir, great start on the video/light camera by your garage. Have you posted part 2 and part 3 yet on adding exterior lights to the front of your home? Tha nk you John
I have found that the suppliers for retail showrooms have much better options than these. Unfortunately those suppliers seldom sell through common consumer channels such as amazon or home depot. But they do seem to sell to anyone with a credit card over the counter.
Question. Is The 6x6 Strong Ties, the preferred to method? Why not dig out the cement, pour footers for all that weight to sit on. I’d be worried that weight will crack that patio
Thanks! Wasn't necessary. With only the roof above and no snow loads to worry about, it's not a lot of weight. We fiber reinforced the concrete but determined no need to dig out a beam or footers.
I am currently in the installation process with the loft. How tall is you headroom height below the 2x6? and do you wish the height room was taller or shorter than now? Thanks
Thanks. If I recall, the walls were 8' and the 2x6s were pushed up to the bottom of the top plates so maybe 7'6"ish headroom. Didn't feel too short or anything. It was a shallow roof pitch so pushing the loft up any higher would have really reduced the lofts capacity above. Good luck with yours!
@@justaddwood Thank you for the quick response. My thoughts were divided to the ease of removing items in the loft to the head height needed. I have 7 ft at the bottom of the 2x6. I analyze til I fossilize.
You have no joist hangers on any of the beams, something i would strongly suggest you do as all you have holding them up is what ever screws you put in. Other wise a good job.
Hey @justaddwood, I'm building a gate this weekend and am planning on building some gates. Do you think i can replixate this same method with 2x6 instead of 2x4 on a 5ft fence? Just curious if you think it weigh too much and be more likely to sag over time. Thanks!
Half lap joints and a cross brace from the bottom hinge should hold up a great deal of weight long term. I don't think 2x6" material will cause a sag. Good luck with your project!
@13:22 I'd be focused on securing the shed (door lock set) before customizing it to hold my yard tools. Good, simple solution for storage when you don't want to insulate.
