Building a  

Didn't know Canelo Alvarez was a builder

Great video. How come you didn't attach it to the fascia.

I read the entire Ryan's ru-vid.comUgkxGqOCINHE0Z0E5gxzSdNi9NWGugRY5Hm2 Plans and was able to make a shed plan. Using Ryan's Shed Plans alone, the shed itself is great. Where I wish I knew more is with respect to ground preparation and foundations. Maybe that's beyond the scope of Ryan's Shed Plans.

Took that 12” like nothing. Classic.

You are definitely a high-quality contractor. You take great care in building the porch to make it perfect… I am definitely impressed! Can’t wait to see the next video….thanks…

Love that long audio Crossfade of the impact driver. Made me really happy.

Tim from Canada, my question is why are you using three different brands of tools for example at the beginning your laser level and your parts were..( DEWALT…. )Then using your hammer drill it was I think.?.(. Milwaukee.)….. now you’re using a new tool green. I am not sure what brand this is…. most construction people stick with one brand of tool. A lot of you people only use….( DEWALT..). Just my observation. If you are using just one brand of tool, don’t you think it should be the same for just one battery platform?… I see in your construction base you were using three different brands of construction tools or more meaning that you need a platform for more than three or more battery types…. again just my observation if you are doing this yourself, you should be using one kind of battery platform and seeing if that battery platform can give you free tools so you can use them on your job for construction use and for… task purposes, so you can test out the tools… I know a lot of contractors that do this

Loving the new filming. Added a new dimension to your superb content 👌

RR.. you should start including the outtakes/bloopers at the end of each of your videos :) Would show the world we are all human. Love your content and keep those vids coming!

Awesome job Kyle and Gregg! Gotta love your attention to detail! Another great video!

I’m basing my porch build off this with a few twists. Thanks for all these videos. You guys are the real deal.

A couple of questions: 1: Why not do a ledger board at the house for the rafters to frame into? Maybe overkill but would be easier to frame (for me a least). 2) why a 2x12 rafter for such a small span? (A 2x6 would work) #3: the porch roof is too close to the higher roof - looks awkward and how in the world did you attach the sheathing and roofing under the higher roof? Enjoy your videos and appreciate your level to detail.

Come on guys.. wear some safety glasses. Love your channel

I’m going to start counting how many times Kyle says Greg in each video. 😂

Did you notice how Greg placed the boxes very neatly and square against the house at the beginning? A perfectionist. That’s why those guys work well together.

I’m offended by your use of the term “Redneck engineering”. That’s racist!!! 😂

Happy showering 🤣🤣

I've heard people argue that all the prep, math and layout is a waste of time but they don't get to reap the reward of finishing the build that is square and exactly what it needs to be. Too many times I have had to help cut custom pieces for every sheet because the person in charge didn't want to take the time to layout properly. Its delayed vs instant gratification and I think in the end your way is faster and produces a better product.

Great vid Kyle n Greg and also props to the camera guy👍👍.. Didn't felt like a long video at all.... Thanks again for sharing all your work experience with us, there's always something good to learn from. I wish all bosses were like you Kyle!!!!!! 👍💯👍

RR is the gold standard for pole frame construction.

That Cedar.?

Perfect job guys, I am amazed of your workmanship and how good you guys are!!!!!!!🎉🎉

I wonder if I'll live long enough to see an AI carpenter. Until then, I got Kyle. And Greg.

I enjoyed the video of course, but I was really impressed with the videographer, well done 👍 it was like watching a PBS episode of “ This Old House “ Kyle your the new Norm and Bob Silva combined

This guy is spot on with his work. Anyone who says he doesn’t know what he’s doing is higher the giraffe balls

Great video mate. Could you have not gotten away with a 6” rafter?

The imperial system is difficult. (I'm watching from Russia) And this is work and projects, tools and equipment - really cool work.

"Your work is top-notch! I'm impressed with how much attention you pay to the details."

I would go to bars more if they played videos like this. I just wanna be hammered while I learn about pro craftsmanship in a high quality and entertaining way 👍🏼

that's amazing! I never would have thought 42 years ago that they would make a circular saw that could cut through four 2x's at one time! Any time dad and I cut big cedar beams, we would do our best to line up the cuts when we would flip a beam to cut through the other half! You could always tell when you done it that you had to make a second cut; it was never perfect.

Why are you not using H Clips on the plywood? You did a top-notch job guys. Thank you for sharing your process.

Is it weird that I love the color of the LP weathershield?

Nothing like having the right tools for the job... makes things so much easier. Your typical DIYer has a much tougher time taking on a project like this, but good, informative video.

I am not a professional only a handyman DIY do you think I can make it that?

Very nice..bring back the days where I used 6x6 for framing the decor I used to build..I used lag screws to connect everything..😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

Darn! You look like my brother - and he also owned RR Construction! He is retired now.

Hay Kyle: yesterday I saw these guy's building a barn dominium, I thought it was you guys. they were using the same materials and tools like you do. I said to my self. No way it's not Kyle and Greg. I said hell no, I'm not watching those guys. I watch the real thing. Thanks for your vlogs. I saw them guys and felt a weird way like some one stole something from me. 😄

@38:40 When the White Castle hits...maybe Toxic H3ll...

Your guys professionalism is so great to watch. Love it keep up the good work and teaching better habits!

Hello RR, Your videos and channel in general, brine EXCELLENT information! If it's no bother, please.... Could you tell me, what types of timbers did you use in this porch for: the columns, beams, joist, rafters and eaves?

Very informative. Thanks for the video. Love watching this home get built.

You still didn't explain how you fastened the column to the wall ! 😵

What is your snow load in your area… jeepers-creepers… This is Second story parking spot..,

I put down woven 12' sub-base fabric on the dirt to keep out of the mud. Landscape staples to hold the fabric from shifting too much.

Great video and detail. What is the advantages/disadvantages of framing with purlins vs 16/24 oc roof rafters? Thanks

I have a fixer-upper, that I’m trying to fix up that I want to build a covered porch in the backyard but my pitches are offset for the roof that I want to come off of in the backyard how would I build one of the cedar porches in the back

Kyle wouldnt it be good practice to treat the ends of the posts that are going to be exposed to the weather? Also is there something that you could put between the wood joints to help keep rot from happening?

A compliment to your camera man/woman! Great job! Well done! 👍😁

It would be nice to see the end result... the content was great, and I was looking forward to the end product...

Those GRK screws are the best, expensive mind you but worth the extra money!

I want a beam saw for christmas

Kyle now that you got you a camera guy how much time in a day do you think you are saving? and do you think having a guy is worth the investment?

Excellent craftsmanship. Really enjoyed watching professional at work. Very well explained. Thanks for your time.

My knees hurt just watching you kneel on that rim joist.

@rrbuilders- hey kyle, i have asked this question a few times. Can you please explain, when you are calling out "grade", such as on that concrete patio and this porch. Where and how are determining your grade point, then level? I can only assume that the porch you are working on has a slight slope for water to run off, but i see that your laser (180) is near or at the middle of the porch. So one part, near the house has to be higher then the outside edge. All of that seems a bit confusing. How do you determine where you are setting that laser/grade? This is all new to me. Have been in construction for 20 years, but have never ran one of these. Always just showed up and started banging nails. All the grade work had already been done. We live on a farm, i will be purchasing this laser set up as it will come in handy on many projects for the future.

Quick question Guys… Dewalt Tools or Roybi Tools? Me personally I like some Dewalt and I like some Roybi. Between the too what has the higher vote with on the job use?

I'm sure you could land a small helicopter or something on that porch roof. 😅

Lol I drive by that place everyday crazy to see it on RU-vid

Nice ! One question , what kind of gun did you use to nail the brackets ?

Have you tried making one from the roof first? I’d love to see you do that.

Where did you get that drill? I've never send a concrete drill with a guide like that before. Looks awesome

Always fun watching you guys build. Give Greg a mic lol

I think you just like to show off your expensive tools bruh, A good builder does not need the best or the most expensive tools. Remember that.

Those lasers are an amazing tool makes life easier great video guys

Kyle, please i need your emails

What a great job you guys did! Very impressive!

This guy sounds, and sort of looks like Lewis Hilsenteger from Unbox Therapy

Having the right tools is key

What’s the name of the yellow drill you used?

why did you use such a horrible looking board for one of the overhands when you will see that? I would have used that board for scrap supports or something

aparently Canelo Alvarez also know how to build a porch :)

you are for sure pro status. Does there need to be a type of flashing between the wood and the existing wall?

You should show the process without all the fancy laser. For the guys that can’t afford it yet.

Is Greg left eye dominant, but right handed?

I know y'all have done these porch videos before but I always enjoy watching them anything to do with framing and exterior siding and trim work. Thanks

Love it!

Could've just stuck a laser on the wall and mark those post for the heights real quick

Davis Richard Davis Nancy Anderson Daniel

I know you guys Gotta Hate that Nailer. There Sooooo Slowww lol.. Great work though guys.

Great job Enjoyed it. Thanks.

we are adding a porch to an existing post frame, we are going to take the metal off, and replace it with some type of siding. when they do the concrete floor we need to have the metal off first?

Awesome work! I wish more contractors dialed in the details like you do.

I really like that Martinez framing square, where can we get one???

Bro I thought this guy was Canelo Alverez when I fist started to watch

Bro, that just took that 12'' like nothing,,, That's what she said last night😘😂🤣

Where are your safety glasses when shooting nails ? 😀

Did you see him turn on those "Safety Squints"... hahahahaha

What pencil do you use?

“ Canelo “ Álvarez working???🤔

it would help if you learned how to use a laser

Where can we buy that framing square I need that in my life!!!

You still use a measure tape. No offence all these things are nothing comparing to traditonal.

Great work! At the wall, is that a longer nail at a diagonal on the rafter hangers?

Where is this project? Doesn't looks they follow the codes of USA

Hi i am the builder but i want to you my frend and hi want you soo my hao you want to be build wan roof house❤

k...newbie here...but I swear you are Lou from Unbox Therapy....in the construction world. Nice!

can't find the square you are using ,I looked on your web but no luck ty

I honestly don't get why you American guys keep using the impact driver instead of the drill. Impacts are less powerful when using general wood framing screws and they make a ton of noise. Whilst a drill is as shown in this video more powerful and it is quiet.

So many things wrong in this video. First you’re not wearing any PPE when using that hanger nailer. You could possibly damage your eyes using that without wearing safety glasses. Second, the strength in the plywood is really only useful when you stair step the pieces. And who pull out a track saw to sheath a roof

Great video! But, I don’t see this being possible for $300. I think you said the gravel alone was like $80? Add chairs, fire pit and edging, you’re over $300. I assume the chairs were 60-80/each and a cheap fire pit found on sale could be 100. Gravel 80 Chairs 120 Fire pit 100 Total 300… haven’t included wood posts, lights, concrete mix or edging.
