BIGGEST Building Ever Part 6: Installing Trusses 

This has to be one of my favorite videos.!! Just seeing father and son working together… and the young man is learning so much valuable things..!!

Still blows me away that a job like this can be done by such a small crew. Modern equipment is miraculous.

What a great dad! Keeping a level head while teaching Cole and having fun was great to watch! GREAT WORK COLE AND KYLE!

I miss working with my son everyday. We lost him last year. He was an awesome and amazing man. It was by far the best times in my life. He was becoming an amazing carpenter just like dad. Good luck to both of you and hopefully you guys get to build together for many years

DAD! Great job of teaching Cole at a pace he could understand and then repeat each task.

I love seeing you having your son on the job learning the trade…he’s got a great teacher

COLE, JUST WORKING WITH DAD IS ONE OF YOUR GREATEST DAYS YOU'LL HAVE IN LIFE, THE PROJECTS I DID WITH MY DAD ARE STILL THE ONES I REMEMBER THE MOST AND MISS.

I love that you are teaching your son the trade.

I was Cole 30 years ago- working with my father who built custom homes. Hated it a the time, grateful for it now. Cole has a better attitude than I ever did 😅

Good work, Cole! Be thankful for how your Dad teaches you. You've got a good thing going, young man. It's always nice to see a functioning father/son team.

You should be a very proud Dad. Cole is doing a great job and there’s nothing better than watching a Father/Son working together.

Kyle, cherish these days with your son. My son and I worked together for a few years in construction and they were my favorite times I ever had. He moved on to a great career and I miss having him there everyday.

One of your best videos Kyle, seeing a father teaching his son is something I think we have lost in today’s world, super refreshing to watch.

Crazy this project. I can't imagine what goes through your mind when you wake up everyday knowing the work ahead of you. Great crew you have! Stay safe and looking forward to your progress!

much respect to Cole... being corrected/taught in "public" is not easy. These are some major skills to learn!

Great to see you two working together, father and son. Cole did such a good job learning with a sense of humor and Kyle is a great dad and teacher. Heartwarming!

I absolutely love your videos! They are both educational and enjoyable to watch. Your friendly demeanor and clear instructions make learning about construction a delightful experience. Thank you for making such high-quality content!

I’ve learned a lot throughout the years, some things I’ve probably forgotten. But I’ll never forget the chain in the tub trick. Life changing

I love the “Im a little nervous” been there. Thumbs up for Cole

Man, my favorite videos are when you have Cole on. Love the dynamic you have with Greg, but when you have Cole on, I feel like I’m learning a different way. I 48 years old, but when you’re teaching Cole, I feel like you’re a “dad” to all of us and passing along the family business knowledge to us. So awesome. Keep it up guys. Also, Cole’s speech and mannerisms are identical to Kyle. 😂

Well done, Cole! I remember when I started working for my dad doing roofing. I thought I knew everything. Listen to your dad and ask a lot of questions!

Beautiful day, great equipment and getting to work with your son. You can hardly even call that a job it is so perfect.

Way to go Cole, you are the man, its a honest way to make a living.

It's nice to have your son helping you and you take the time to be with him when he needs you. A true father and son team. It's a beautiful feeling 🥰 I don't have a son. So, I am a lone ranger. I can't call at any time I need help. I've learned I can't depend on anyone to help me. Cheers to you and your son

Kyle you can be very proud of Cole. He’s a great keen worker and clearly listens to you. Cole you are doing an amazing job, it’s cool to see you both working together!!

Kyle and Cole. Great job. I remember when I was starting in Construction with my Uncle when I was in Jr High. I had to learn just like you are Cole. This is terrific You will ook back on this work all your life. Keep on learning by doing. This is great work as a life's work and it pays good too. Every day you see your accomplishments. Great satisfaction. Now I am retired and 81 years old and I don't forget how my life felt good all my life. Let me encourage you. John in Missouri Valley Iowa.

I’m a little behind on this series. But man this video is so great, gotta be one of my favorites. I love watching father and son working together!!! Cole is learning so much and doing a great job. These are times they will never forget!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

I'm addicted to this Project. Its amazing to come along on this magnificent huge project.

Being shown how to hold the purlins will help build Cole's mechanical understanding of how to address situations in the future. I loved that teaching moment. ❤ Great job Cole AND Kyle.

Outstanding content right here folks! The hard work put into every aspect - construction, video, teaching, and mad skills all around. Greg missed out - but certainly to Cole's benefit! That young man is an outstanding apprentice. Learning this stuff on the fly is really hard. Cole did a fantastic job all around. Very impressive.

Good job guys! Way to go Cole. You are getting stronger every day. I have been waiting anxiously all week for this video. Be safe.

Way to go Cole. You didn't need to go to the gym that day. Anytime you are doing something your body isn't used to it will take a while for muscle to build. Your ability to learn and keep pushing is amazing. Keep up the good work 👏

Great Father and Son Team getting the Roof Framing off to a big start.. Cole is Learning things that he can use for the rest of his life.. That is top notch work for pole barn framing.. It’s going to make a great solid building… Be Careful up there guys…

Love these father and son videos. You guys may not realize it at the moment but these times will become priceless. Cole, be sure to soak up all the knowledge you can from pops,trust me, it will pay dividends in your future. Kyle, as always, great content!

Absolutely love, seeing you teach Cole. All your little tips and tricks. Outstanding R&R. You might have only got two bays done but your teaching a brand new guy. He's catching on fast.

Cole will always remember this build and the lessons learned. Kyle you are an amazing teacher having done this for Greg already and your team is just going to get better .

It is always a good day when you get to work with your son, it is an awesome day when your son learns something and did great. Excellent job sir!

It's moments like this where it's just dad and son working together on ANYTHING that will last a lifetime. That crane was flat out neat to see in operation. Never have even seen one on a rental yard and there are several pretty big sites near by. Thanks for sharing.😊

Something we do a lot in the oilfield when lifting weird stuff is use a come-a-long as one leg of the rigging (usually the longer/lighter side). Then you can easily adjust it in the air to hang perfectly level

Let’s go Cole! I still enjoy framing with my dad. There’s a lot to be learned from experienced builders, and enjoy every moment. Even if building isn’t your thing in life, always give it 100%. There’s lessons to be learned in every situation/career in life.

Great, great content. Love watching you teaching your son your techniques and process. He's a great student/apprentice KUDOS Cole!

Every time Cole has come on your sites, he has always been a willing worker; today he started learning the easy part is herder than it looks. He bent to the challenge and has good reason to walk away head up. Cole- learn all you can, it may take you farther than you know! Btw, the "bosses kid" weren't no slouch either! Kyle- you are a great teacher- very additive, you see what is working and you guide to aid it. Gregg will teach him how to keep the bass level and up beat. This one is going to be a beast with the Magni. Bring it!

This was great. I've built three post frame structures on our homestead with my son. Watching you teach your boy how to properly install purlins brought back good memories of me doing the same with my son. Thanks Kyle, enjoy these days - they pass quickly

Watching Father & Son working together brings back precious memories when I helped my Dad as a carpenters helper back in late 60's early 70's. Cole dud a splendid job. Big thumbs up for him. Can't wait for next vid!!

Nice one Cole!!! Great to see you working and learning with your Dad.. That awesome.

Seeing your son, Cole, with you is awesome!!! I truly wish you had longer videos more frequently.

Good job Cole, and good job dad. Cole things always seem hard while you’re learning in any job or field. The most important thing is to never say the words “I can’t”. You have a great dad and I’m sure you’ll never hear those words come out of his mouth.

Love watching you work with your son. It is so hard to teach your kids how to do skilled work both efficiently and saftly; I think you are doing a great job.

Man this series is getting better every episode. That’s awesome Kyle having Cole there to work with you and him learning so much from ole dad. My son is only 7 but I bring him every chance I get to work with me! Keep bringing the great content dude

38:21 - “well if it’s lowkey perfect then lowkey hit it” 😂

Not a project I don’t miss my dad. Relish the education, patience and time with each other. Love it and enjoy!

Father and son moments, teaching skills.....this priceless.

You’re a good dad and you’re a good teacher. Cole will definitely be a good worker when your finished training him on this job. Cole seems to be a good listener as well. And he is a quick leaner. Greg will be amazed when he sees the progress in Cole.

Love to see how big Cole is and him helping you out is what the channel needed! The legacy continues....

Awesome seeing you giving your son coaching on construction. 👍👍🎉🎉Party 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Being the kid of a 50 year contractor/builder, (60 yrs old now) and spending summers on job sites with Dad, I get this. Cole will carry valuable knowledge and amazing memories for the rest of his life. So awesome!!

Soo Great to see the Magni back,!! Beautifull machine.!! Imagine if Cole had been dissinterested in building, and Greg was off with his Man Cold!!, 😁🤣I dont think you would have managed on youre own, So Good job you have Cole that Is interested!!, and is picking up the job well. Good Job Cole. Its always interesting watching the Magni work, where you can make up a big length of trusses and perlins, on the ground, and lift it all with the Magni. Pity you didnt know about this job the last time you had it. Great video Thanks. from UK.

I'm amazed at how accurate you try to be, working with wood on a building as big as that! Here in the UK that building would be made with steel. Love the fact you've made the mistakes in the past and have learned from them. Sign of a good contractor. Keep up the good work.

Actually.... it goes beyond money. Glimpses of human potential. Collaboration.

Watching Kyle and Cole nail purlins shows how much of an absolute beast Kyle is! Haha great job Cole, not too many people could hang with your old man. My dad framed houses for 40+ years. I’ve always marveled at the strength he possessed in his prime. I probably still couldn’t hang with him.

Great job teaching and being patient with him! Lots of memories! Great job Cole! Greg will be shocked! Love the videos! Thank you!

Loving watching the teaching. This is great. Thanks for teaching your son good lessons.

Good job Cole, hope you’re making some 🏦 working so hard for pops!

I also worked with my Dad on union sites .Im a carpenter and he was a laborer. We work together on three different jobs. He has passed away since then but I will never forget that time we spent together

It's great you can involve your son. Even if you goes into a totally different career, he'll never regret learning all he can from his father.

Amazing job for just the two of you and so much was learned. Nice progress!

Agree, Father-Son team is awesome! Brings back great memories of working with my dad.

I wait for your videos to post, i enjoy watching your content, and wish ypu nothing but the best for your company and family.

Definitely a “thumbs up” for the son & dad combo!!!

It's pretty amazing that you get as close as you do. The lumber the truss companies have to use is crap these days, I guess all the lumber we get anywhere is crap. I have sifted through thousands of bunks to find good lumber. My family was either carpenters or masons, I chose the bricks and honestly, over the last 400 years everything is sub standard, it takes a craftsmen to overcome the product. Years ago I had one of those tele handlers balanced on two wheels with my cheeks clinched hard enough I could have made a diamond! I was also within inches of power lines! It was almost surgical lowering the load to get it back down. I think I was 18 at the time and my dad was spotting me. He was clenched harder than I was! Keep up the good work and kudos for passing it down!

The banter between you guys is really great. Makes me thing of how my sons and I might be a few years from now

Wonderful to see you working and teaching your son.

"if it's low key perfect, then low key hit it" 😂 Kyle learning his son's lingo

Cole 💪👏💪 You deserved 👍 buddy. Great work Kyle!!!! Love this channel!!

Looking forwards to watching on catch up ,currently watching your shop build project 👍

Damn... U guys make quick work on this building..... Holy moly 💪💪💪💪💪

Your dad is amazing it’s hard work with effort and time you can be very good at building anything including your own home one day. 😊

Great to see you giving Cole the chance to get in there and just put his hands on things and get some training! I always loved to go work with my dad!

Father & son time together is priceless.

Word of advice to Cole. Cherish these days of working with your father. You might get tired and aggravated, but one day you will look back and remember this as one of the best days of your life!!! Great Video probably one of my favorites ever.

Over 15 years ago I helped build a hay barn of similar size but we used full length trusses and had a mobile crane for setting it. I was brung on to help set the trusses cause they needed an extra guy on the ground for rigging and running the tag line. The one side has a 60ft opening and one end with a 40ft opening. The farm wanted it so they could load hay onto trailers during inclement weather. It was for a large hay farm in the thumb of Michigan that sells hay that mostly gets shipped out of state. The Amish built another smaller barn that happened to get blown down during a storm. The company I worked for they did alot of work for farms, co-ops and factory's so they also did steel work.

This vid is so good, I hope it gets a million views. Nice work men.

Cole gets 2 thumbs up! lol nothing like working with your dad and learning the trade that he might want to take over some day!

Jeeze ! I remember teaching my son how to put a nail in, and how to chase the head around as the nail tried to bend. we were re nailing an old board roof where the boards had cupped and pulled the nails. It was hard for him at 12years old, driving 2 1/2" cut clasp nails into timber that had sat up there for 50 years. He didn't give up, he's still doing it 28 years later !

It's not just the learning, it's the quality father/son time that you guys get building this structure that he will remember. He will always be able to drive past that property and proudly proclaim that he helped his dad build that large building.

Good Job Cole!!! Its hard swinging a hammer but you did a great job!!

Brings back memories of working with my dad many, many years ago

Kyle I’m not sure you’ll see this comment but man you are a great guy and the best framing channel on RU-vid in my opinion. Your work ethic reminds me of growing up swinging a hammer with my pawpaw and working hard and not making excuses. Hard to find these days! I’m getting ready to build my first ever post frame home myself. And certainly will lean on your vids and I think I can accomplish it, I build my house I live in now traditional stick frame, I’m exited to get going with post frame. Thanks for your hard work and inspiration!

Great job Cole! A wholesome video!

Good Job Cole.

One of your best videos although they are all good imo. Great to see you and your son working as a team accomplishing progress, safely and methodically. Your son has a great teacher. Hopefully the truss install will be shown in great detail.

1:04 “…but truss me…it is a lot” The unintentional pun. Well done 👍🏼

That's how boys become men. You're doing great, Cole. Keep following your dad's lead, and you'll be top notch.

Great video nice to see your son on the job site and learning a great skill !! Looking forward to the next one. Tell Greg to stay home you guys got this. LOL

😄👍👍👍👌Great job young man!!! Learning from the best. That is the most awesome telehandler ever..What a great timesaver.

Having a good DAD that can teach a trade in todays time is exceptional. Learn all you can from DAD. Cause most other people will not teach what you need to know to make work easier and more accurate. Keep learning everyday about life, and whatever you choose to do as a career.

what you learn now will kick in throughout your life, good videos

great vid, you should be proud of yourself as a father, proud of cole as your son and proud of the work you achieve

42:24 Cole will definitely do better on the next round! I laughed when you said, “I’m glad you’re my son” lol Good to see him out there with you!

Providing opportunity to succeed is one the most important aspects of being a father. The opportunity, the education, then the expectation will provide him with the confidence and courage every man needs in life. Good job Cole.
