Building a Barndominium 17: Framing Bedroom Walls in a Post Frame 

Once we start framing walls, the home really starts to take shape! Let me know your thoughts on our wall framing process and subscribe to follow along!

Ah, that classic 80's hip hop dance tune: Plumb up the Jamb. Takes me back. Barndo is looking good!

It's crazy how big it starts to look AFTER you get these walls in. That upstairs is HUGE!

As I was renovating my old house, driving 5" structural screws in to some cabinets on the floor, I thought to myself "heh... Good luck to anybody trying to get these out" and then filled in the heads with putty and painted over them Great video Kyle and Greg!

I am fully impressed! It’s just a complete ru-vid.comUgkxGqOCINHE0Z0E5gxzSdNi9NWGugRY5Hm2 plan with the best resources and step by step instructions . These shed plans are so satisfying as if the sheds build themselves on their own. Worthy work Ryan!

Kyle: "Come here Greg; you're gonna' have to manipulate my wood for me." Greg: "You're gonna' have to rephrase that." This is from one of the funniest lines I've ever heard on RR during a previous episode when the guys were removing film from metal roof panels: Kyle: "Greg, finish me off here." Greg: "You're gonna' have to rephrase that." (spoken in a very dead-pan manner) 😂😂😄😄

As an adult (age 36) back in the mid 90s, I built a house (not far from the location of RR buildings). Great room had a big cathedral ceiling and I totally installed a hard-core mini basketball hoop; acrylic backboard, metal break-away rim, etc. Many 2-on-2 championship tournaments were played in that room!

Cool math at 15:50 into the video on the sloped wall Kyle! I did the calculation too on the CM 4065-Pro just to follow along etc. Enter 15-1/4" + 1/8" = 15-3/8". Then add 16", = 31-3/8". . . each successive press of the = sign gives the 16" o.c. layout mark down the wall line accounting for the 1/8" increase in Diag at each stud! . . . Math rules! . . . I love my construction calculators. AAAhhh the joy framing, a visual sense of accomplishment as you stand among the forest of SPF #2's. I can almost smell them through the screen! Great work!

Your editing skills are second to none. Great video as always and excellent job editing to keep the flow just right.

i saw people work and be good at what they do.... but you guys are something else.. this is the way all people should do the job they do... with knowledge professionalism and to love the job they do at the end.. to be proud they did it... so the ones that comes after say nothing but good things...

Love watching framing.. Thanks for sharing.. Nice tips.. Keep sharing tips, even if you thing they are commonly known, cause someone will find it helpful.. With my age & health, all I can do is watch building, but I can share tips & tricks, and (LOL) I do... Beside, everyone I know is always picking my brain on how to do things, I act annoyed, yet I enjoy to be able to help in even a small way... Never compromise quality work to save time, in the end quality stands out...

Great progress and as someone else has said, amazing amount of flexibility for the client at this stage, as usual guys top work and a great series 👍👍👍👍👍

What a beautifully done ru-vid.comUgkxYGamVaHfdHiPlAQaLa7zkwR02OKpGYDU ! The instructions and the photographs are brilliant. It is thorough and genuinely informative. Ryan got another winner! No one does it better!

Trailblazer in the post frame industry. Very good work.

Barndo is coming along nicely great work Kyle and Greg

Some darn good comedic narrative in there!

Every episode is full of new Tricks. And clear all the doubts. Thanks 👍 RR Buildings.

Greg good job on helping with the hardwood and grabbing the load off the ceiling.

Hey I love watching your videos I’m 24 years old from Newfoundland Canada I’ve been working in the construction industry for 6 years now and recently in the last two started doing carpentry and Framing your videos show me new tips and tricks on now do thing or give find new ways on how do the job at hand more efficiently I’ve work with a lot of people who showed me a lot over the last few years a long with them and you and your videos and few more people throughout RU-vid I like to thank you

It is always satisfying to see the walls go up.

I am loving this content! What a great channel, with great information, and wonderful hosts!

Man the video goes so quick you just don’t want it to end. Send me a sweatshirt thanks for the vids

My wife and I are getting ready to start a similar home. I enjoy all the tips you give, as I'll be doing most of the interior work myself. Now I'd like to offer you guys a tip; from a retired Lt. Firefighter/Paramedic & ED - RN - you might want to consider some protection for some of the most important tools you have YOUR EYES. I'm thinking that you've been lucky so far, and I noticed you're using hearing protection. Best wishes! And thanks for all the info, and yes, I'm subscribed.

Traditional stick frame building with 16" OC stud walls, 24" OC ceiling joists, and 2x6 headers over windows and doors, have a lot more wood behind the scenes for hanging pictures, securing shelving, installing ceiling fans/lights, etc. Do you find this to be much of a disadvantage with post frame construction?

Excellent work guys

I’m late to the game and may have missed someone else making this comment, but metal framing for the top and bottom will hold the wood studs nicely until you come back and nail them all. Similar to finishing a basement.

Always looking forward to your videos. I'm an amateur just trying to learn a little bit and I always pick up some knowledge or perspective. Thanks for keeping it real.

Nice build! 👍 We used metal beams for our roof, so it has made everything a bit more of a challenge, but it's going well.

You need to get Greg a mic so we can listen to his wonderful commentary

Thanks Kyle & Greg! 👍😁

You guys work so amazingly well and fast together!!

I love this channel. from Montréal Québec Canada.

yet another awesome video, craftsmanship and humour. cheers...

I can never pass up a chance to mention that Kyle was all in love with the Milwaukee cordless framer about a year ago and cutting on Paslode for needing gas cartridges. Funny what a sponsorship will do to ones "preferences". Not hating, just noticing.

Nice job ... your work looks like fun.

thanks

I agree with you on the Paslode nailer being great for toe-nailing! The only thing I ever used was their air guns though and their ram shots for bottom plates

Awesome work Sir. Can't wait for the next update!

Beautiful! Gosh..... what a ton of space

great and precise work always refreshing to watch a true craftsman doing what he loves

Hey buddy, I'm a huge fan of your channel! I'm a German carpenter an a firefighter working for the us Air Force over here .. Can you buy Greg a microphone? He is always so hard to understand. Greetings from Germany. p.s. I live really close by the stabila factory

Great work as always 👏

Watching this makes me hate my job building kit houses in Scotland in the rain🤣

Watching from South Africa!

You make it look so easy.

As always, looks amazing! Boy that's allot of wood! I don't really see too much waste as you guys are working? Great job!

youre baseboard backing in this style of framing NEEDS TO BE TAGHT! I hope they (see it).

Awesome work Kyle! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

It's all looking great!! Wishing I could get around to my post frame build so I can start using some of these greats tips.

Excelente trabajo 👏 👍 💪 👌🏻

Looking good, not bad for your 3rd one.

I think the door headers are overkill - but - it is only an extra bit of wood

I am late to the party, but I have re watched this series now twice. Love the attention to detail, and all the information you give us in these videos. I do have a question. Since your wall gurts run horizontal, and you are not using studs, how do the electricians install wall boxes for electrical, and have them come out to the drywall on external walls. Are these boxes not required to be attached to wall studs. I know they make the boxes for holding on to the drywall, but those do not seem sturdy, and more of a use in adding something to pre existing walls. Seems that you will always have wall outlets and switches on external walls, and that would make it hard for box locations, unless the electricians are adding in supports for the boxes as they go.

Good teaching program. Thanks

Both hands on the wood Greg. Double hand wrist twist if you could please!

Hello Kyle! Thanks for all the great tips in this Barndo series. I’m designing a Barn first then build out later a studio apartment upstairs and offices downstairs for the right half of the building. This series and EVERY other video has helped me learn how to plan for this. I’m excited and a little curious how it’s all going to go when I do site prep in June and start the build in July. I’ll be buying a set of your plans and materials list to help in my design process. One ask… when you do interior walls like the upstairs of the current build… do you suggest 2x4 or 2x6? And will you do Rockwool or some other sound proofing insulation into the interior walls? Thanks for your thoughts. And shout out to Greg… your teamwork is inspiring too! Thanks! Peter

Looking good guys

I gotta get me one of those laser levels and laser measurer!

Listen at you with all the big wood jokes. I can only imagine when you get a caulk gun in your hands lol

Sehr gut gemacht

Plum up the Jam..... is that a new Technotronic song?

Enjoyed the show

You should invest in some drywall benches. It makes framing in these situations so much nicer.

Excellent work!

Love your work brother, you and Greg are a great team. Don’t understand the lack of windows in some of Theron’s, like bathrooms etc🤔

Good morning from Montana!

" Plumb up the jamb!"

Question that's been on my mind for a few years now, after building mine. Construction basic concept is very similar to yours, minus the quality and attention to detail of course... Ya got your posts, with all the side-walls and roof structure completely anchored to the posts. Then you've got your interior walls anchored to the concrete, and also to the side-walls. Then your second floor structure is anchored to the bottom walls, side walls, and roof structure, tying the entire building together into one solid cohesive block. Except for the floating concrete slab. I know most of these builds will have in-floor heat (mine doesn't) so that will limit the problem I'm about to present, but... from a structural standpoint, what happens if/when the ground freezes under the slab? (The typical answer is "it won't" because heating, etc... but... at some point in time, Murphy's Law says "Yes, it will") So, in the event of a heavy winter storm and extended power outage, for the sake of pure argument, and the ground freezes - the concrete floor will lift, because it's a floating slab. This will, in turn, lift all the interior walls, 2nd story decking and walls, and roof structure. And put lifting pressure on the side walls, which, in turn, will try to lift the posts out of the ground. The BIG question I have is, is this a legitimate structural concern? Or is this just a case of runaway overthinking? I've got one post that has moved, in my shop, but it was also built to the lowest possible standard, I think... It was only after paying for half-assed workmanship that I made the observation that I could screw it up just as bad myself, for a LOT less money, which is when I decided to build my own home inside the shop. I know my slab has frozen several times over the years, and I don't believe that's what moved my one errant post, but it still pokes at the back of my mind. My building is sloppy as hell, with excessive flex designed into it, apparently. I've tightened it up significantly where the living quarters are at, which, presumably shifts the flex points into much tighter regions, when the ground shifts. No clue if that will cause any potential long-term problems or not, but like I said, it's always a concern in my mind. With a building that comes out of the gate tight as a drum though, will that amplify the pressures involved when that slab starts to move? Apologies if this has been addressed before, I've watched a lot of these videos though and haven't seen it - although I know I've missed a lot of 'em too, over the years...

Excelente trabajo 👌👌👌

kyle when will we be seeing those gray hats for sale. real nice look

This is the part where the homeowners can actually see how it's coming together. And then decide, hey... Let's make some changes. Lol

What type, if any sound proofing solutions will you be using so you cant hear the next bedroom etc... great work as always

Looks good 👍 nice work !

Early bird get the worm first mane 💪🏼

Getting closer to a million followers. I need some tools.

Dang that commercial of the Zip board failing was interesting... stay clear of that stuff.

The door headers are definitely overkill. A flat 2x4 is all that is needed.

Good stuff

@13:20 regarding the header, (I was asking myself why before you brought it up) I would imagine it helps prevent the opening and adjacent wall from wracking when swinging nice, heavy doors?

Which # Paslode are you using? We will start our Barndo in the spring when the frost goes out. We ran the H20 line and power in last fall. The fill under the slab was 5’ so we wanted to let it go through a freeze cycle and catch the snow melt and spring rain for consolodation. Watch all your episodes and have learned a lot. Thanks for your great work! By the way, Gregs the man.

Next T-Shirt "You're gonna have to rephrase that."

Plumb up you jamb no pun intended 😂

Maybe a dumb question but if none of the interior walls are load bearing could you do 24 inch vs 16 inch on centers?

The wood handling jokes never get old

It's live!!! But I'm going to work now 🤦

br sure to film the stairs

Hi can you discuss the insulation and where to get thick insulation for deep wall framing. Thanks l appreciate your help with construction.

38 year carpenter here; You know, it may not be that end trusses are built different, it may be that the free span trusses settle a bit once installed. 🤔 Also, end trusses are fastened to posts that further keep them from settling. I've always thought end trusses could actually be built cheaper/lighter duty, for the simple fact that they are attached to posts. The outer shape of the jig is already there, just use smaller cords. They utilize a different web pattern anyway, ya know?!?

Careful on those ladders guys, I wouldn't want to stop watching out because of a panic attack.

Greg builds houses like he used to wash dishes!

could you have set another 2 x 4 on either side of the floor plate next to it placed it on either side and marked the height on both sides compared to the bottom of top plate, connect those two lines with a square and get your angle and height assuming @ 16:40 no measuring except your spacing layout 16 and 1/8? does that make sense 🤣🤣

Эй бро! Не хватает русских субтитров! Не всегда понятные действия и за отсутствия перевода. Но даже без этого,всё делаете великолепно!

Theylove to play with each others wood

I dislike toe nailing so much, I would have set the ceiling joists level with a laser and framed the walls on the ground. Great work

Are you guys going back and putting a drywall nailer on the top plate?

So the top plates perpendicular to the slope of the roof are just at an angle same as the bottom cord of the truss? Does that mess up the edge for drywall? Love the channel and thanks for sharing all your knowledge!

what is the reason for the fiberglass framing on end wall? Sound?

What's the outside look like. Got a drone fly over or fly thru the barndo.

curious about your choice of wall framing material. Why not use finger jointed studs which are going to be straighter to begin with?

Would you recommend that Nail gun to someone that would only use it once in a while?where it might not be used sometimes for many months
