This is a good book. Does provide a step by step introduction to how to build things ru-vid.comUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 , also does offer some steps. Includes pictures to give you ideas for layouts and such. If you are looking for a guide, this is not exactly what you want. But if you are trying to familiarize yourself with the way that pole barn building and other out buildings, are made, then this will work just as you need it to. A few things in this book are a barn (of course), detached garage, storage building, and coops.
You guys should be really proud of what you do and how you do it. Definitely an extra mile company and outstanding work. Love the videos I learn a lot! Thank you.
Really coming along nicely. We've been waffeling on whether to go stick frame or traditional build, and your work is pushing us back toward barndominium build next year.
I built a shop house (as we call it). Much much cheaper than building conventional and (in my opinion) much more sturdy. Really liked the ideal of the fully open floor plan
Kyle, I've see many framers notch the bottom plate so you don't have to lift the wall section in place. I appreciate the hole saw work and craftsmanship.
I'm pretty sure you guys have replaced this old house for me. As a kid I couldn't wait for TOH to come on to watch with my dad, now I just hop on youtube and its sunday morning whenever I want. Thanks for putting all the extra work into each job so we can follow along!!
Another well done episode. I really, really like this one because of all the thinking and figuring that went into laying out, cutting and installing the walls and floor/ceiling joists.
Kyle- trying to put this in a nutshell: First, you guys are excellent. Secondly, I can’t thank you enough for all the incredible content you’ve spent countless hours putting together. Please know you have made a huge impact on how I will start building post frames. I’m been building for almost 32 years and just recently have had the opportunity to build my first post frame. I’ve studied your videos very closely and will respectively build exactly the same as you. This job would not be possible without your informative videos. The build is a 10 bay auto body shop (210’x36’). Much bigger than I would like for my first build. Thank you so much for making this opportunity attainable for us. ~George
I can tell you guys like good quality. Before lasers we used to string a chalk-line at top of stud height and stand stud on bottom plate and just "rub" it on upper chalkline. Have a saw in your other hand and done. Super fast and accurate. Used technique where concrete floor could be up and down. Just make sure line pulled very tight. You guys make a great team
As a former framer and now a metal roofer, this video is great! It takes me back to the satisfying days of slapping together a living area for a family. I know you and Greg as the "midwest kings" of drying in a building site, but it must be fun for y'all to do this indoor work from time to time. #BUILDING MERICA
Man I love these videos, I like that any time I’m like man why’s he doing it that way you always explain it. Would love to live in a house built with your level of care and craftsmanship.
Looking good. I had a few questions about how the I-joists were going to go together in the middle, but you answered that with a simple, efficient example. Keep up the great work.
My favorite part about this episode is that you and Greg are wearing matching outfits. Always fun to watch this stage of your builds. Seeing the interior take shape. 🙌🍻
PS...put Diablos on all your saws...been using them for about 20 years...best blades made IMO...I even run a 42T on my 7 1/4' Makita skillsaw...love the clean burr free cuts...have them on my 12" Makita slide & my 10" Hitachi slide...even my 16" Makita beam saw...and my battery 6 1/2" Makita skillsaw...only thing I dont use them on is my Bosch jigsaw...Only Bosch blades on it...best jigsaw blades made..ok, enough outta me for today...have a blessed weekend brother
This was one of my favorite channels...right up until Kyle said, "we're like the Chevy of construction workers"...now I am reconsidering. 😎 Great work boys.
"My fix, your mess up. Together we're a beautiful team." 😄 "Waiting for your a**." Love the way yall work and joke around like brothers. I'd love to work with you two. Makes it go that much faster and satisfying at the end of the day. Keep up the artwork fellas. 🍺Cheers
I really enjoy watching your videos. You tell every step and why you do what you do. It's very educational and fun to watch. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and time.
Glad you kept your streak alive of consecutive videos showing diablo blades easily cutting through nails. I believe you can hit double digits! (great video, it's coming along nicely)
Can’t wait for the next episode! Laying down floor is one of my favorite things you do. So much difference to the eyes in a relatively small amount of time
Glad to see you with those safety glasses on in the beginning...then??...no worries brother, you'll get used to them on & not on your hat bill...I promise..it wont take long and you will feel naked without them when working...helps while sawing too, to keep that sawdust out of the eyes...also, good trick with the laser to cut those studs...we never had one, so a nice tight string line was our way to measure the studs...as always, thoroughly enjoy watching you two work as a team...nice to see someone that really cares about a quality job and to teach some of these greenhorns a thing or two...and teach an old dog like me some new tricks too...coming along nicely Bro!
You don't need super-high insulation between the house and garage, but you do want really good air sealing. I would have used flash & batt -- since you are already getting spray foam just have them put down enough to seal it. Costs a bit more money, but a non-sealed wall isn't even code in some places. Otherwise it's a beautiful build as usual and it's interesting to see your tips and tricks for bardominiums, many of which could (and probably should) be used on slab-built and other stick construction. And before people get angry that I'm complaining -- I live in an old leaky house where the garage-house wall is just studs and drywall, no sealing or even insulation. Wasn't my choice (bought as-is) but it's definitely not great to smell car fumes in a bedroom. I will fix it in a remodel when I get a chance, but it would have been way simpler fit the builder had just done that in the beginning. My house is leaky though, in a modern tightly air-sealed house it would be more of a problem, as the fumes can't get out the garage or house easily, so what gets into the house stays until cleared by mechanical ventilation. It's particularly important for a big heated garage, knowing that people will work on (and occasionally run) vehicles inside, and the partition wall has a large surface area.
@@RRBuildings A vapor barrier would typically be on the warm side in your climate, no? Closed-cell is somewhat special as the cold side is covered by insulation, so you can get away with insulating inboard of that. Maybe you'll put up plastic, but having that right behind walls often make sealing details around surface penetrations such as outlets difficult. Also the best plastic sheeting will typically not seal as well as the outer envelope you made, and relative leakage matters. Maybe you'll put up OSB and tape it, but that's really uncommon in the US, and flashing OSB would have been easier given you just had the rest of the building spray foamed. Don't get me wrong, I would kill to have you as a homebuilder, and I can't know what your customer was willing to pay for. I'm just saying I'd have been willing to pay for OSB in between the house and garage and flash it with closed cell, and it looks like whatever you're doing, it's not that. I will wait for the video to see what construction you do use, I'm sure you'll surprise us with clever and practical details as usual.

Love the matching flannel!! Very progressive!! Love your videos! Always thought the only way to make a "good" metal building was by welding a frame and then sheeting it. But you've converted me. Planning a post-frame for this year!
The t-wall connection points are actually called "leads". They really don't "need" full connector boards for code, 3 cutoffs can be used, top, middle & bottom. Using 3 cutoffs it's easier to me, because, there's not a struggle to line them up like there is a solid board.
Greg I can see youre getting a little small since the crest gym closed lol hope to see you back down there when it opens again. Stay safe guys. God bless.
Kyle. 104-1/4 studs are perf for 5/8 ceilings. Ceilings always first Good job on your work. I like the tight intentions. I would pay top dollar for it.
I love the framing portions of the build. So much eye candy in a (relatively) short time span. But @17:53 Ya gotta blur those OSHA violations before they come after you. 😁 And @21:31 shots fired, shots fired (to all the 150 owners) LOL. Love your build videos!
Ah, the infamous Diablo blade trick photography! Well done Kyle, you make it look so real, haha. But at least the building isn't swaying, lol. Another great video, thanks for your time for our enjoyment.
Kyle can you talk more about the I joists? I understand the benefits like lightweight and ability to span long distances. It's my understanding though they also get their strength by working together with the I joists next to them. What about in fire conditions? These will fail much faster than dimensional lumber in any sort of fire condition. There is no debate how fast trusses and engineered products like this fail under fire load. You lose one I-joist and you're in big trouble. To me the added insurance of dimensional lumber is worth the trade off that you get with some longer spans. Anyhow I love all of your content and advice. This channel is something I love to tune into because you're so relatable and share all of your experience. I doubt you'll have time to reply but if you get a chance in another video then please share thoughts.
Good framing bro . 💪 when you tacked up the I-joist I was at first like where is your hanger but I get it you come afterwards I never thought of doing that I've always put my hanger first and dropped in my I-joist.. interesting I might look into that 🤔
Is your Stabila Plate Level digital? It looks like it has something on it (black square) that mine doesn’t. I couldn’t ever see it up close to figure it out. Just being nosy what is different about yours and I didn’t think they had a digital plate level.
Frame your interior walls 3/4 short of exterior walls to allow the 5/8 drywall to pass behind it. Then you get a completely sealed exterior with no breaks in the drywall.
More great detail. I have never been a fan of I joists. There is way to much flex in the floor. Especially if you were going to put down ceramic tile or stone. The build is coming along nicely
Ooooh Kyle..., the re-work on the one wall looked like you did pre-nail cutting before video’ing..., very deceptive... hahaha... (joking of course)... Great video, Thank you sir.
Nice job framing one of my favourite's. Instant gratification job. Wouldn't mind trying one of those bracket nail guns. Not available in Oz. Paslode make a gas version. Not available in Oz. Hard enough to get the pneumatic ones. I have 1.5 of them. A Senco working and a Bostick that has been in for repair for the last 3 months waiting on parts. Any professional tools here cost a small fortune and if anything goes wrong with them you better have a spare because it is a long wait before you see them again.
Geeze Louise, I think 4 of my house would fit in that Barndo. Not complaining though I love my little coastal country cottage and my brand new kitchen, can’t wait for the rest of my renovations to be finished though. Kyle did you finish the renovations at your place before you moved? (Assuming you sold it to buy the new place)
When framing a wall on the floor the studs are crowned up so that the ends of the stud touch the floor. Makes flushing the stud to the top or bottom plate much easier when nailing in the studs.
everyone remember that he gave himself some space between material for his saw blade before cutting to make it go quicker and more efficient; just thought I would throw that out there for people that don't see the small space in between the material. I guess he is using a Diablo blade, but if you watch some of his videos from 2018, he used the Milwaukee Axe blade. Just thought I would throw out the info!
Really digging the Barndominium, Kyle! How many days work was this episode? Those I beams are 2 2x4s on regular 5/8" OSB, or is there something more laminated into them? Cheers
Excellent build so far. Really interested in seeing how you will be handling the conditioned attic space and framing out the ceiling underneath the trusses. Would you ever consider putting up I-joists and sheathing on the second floor ceiling to get use-able storage space in the attic?
Great stuff ... you have helped me so much in the construction of my post frame house and separate garage. I am having trouble locating a source for the wide batt insulation (like you use in this video and others) ... do you have supplier names, parts #'s, and/or sources for this that you could share? Thanks!!
