In this video, it's time to build our second story/loft. I build a pretty cool contraption to lift the huge sheets of plywood upstairs. More detailed tutorial coming soon!

Darryl, For me this has been your best video yet, for two reasons. I too am currently building an A-frame. I am building it for a friend. It is a kit house. I see many of the same challenges and it is not any easier with the kit, less cutting and figuring for sure, and, still the same. First, it really touched my heart to see the neighborly love, and the prayer. Second, funny how I saw the plywood lift just yesterday in a very old RU-vid vid. w/no direction or plans. I struggled to pause, zoom-in, and replay, I think six or seven times... I open this one this morning and BAM! There it is. Thank you man. Thank you so much for documenting your journey. I also left a corporate job and am having so much fun on this build. I hope you are as well. Love ya man, and be safe😊❤.

@darryldarks Год назад

Brac! Thank you so much for the kind words, brother! I appreciate your support! I really do have some great neighbors. They take good care of me. That’s really surprising to hear. I always thought using a kit would be way easier. Congrats on getting the job too! Super glad that you’re making it happen! 🙏👍

Man I was thinking of a ramp to push up the wood, but your contraption made my back happy 😂 we do a lot by ourselves too so it’s cool seeing other people do it too we’re tuned back in keep going

@johnpage5931 Год назад

Great videos. I've actually been planning to build an A-Frame mostly by myself as well. The sled/wench was a good idea for the plywood, assuming you already had that stuff handy. If not, a simple pully would have done the trick.

@darryldarks Год назад

John! Thanks for watching my videos. I really appreciate that. I did already have a winch. So, I figured I’d put it to use and save my back. Haha. Good luck on your project! 🙏👍

@tylersmith293 Год назад

I’m not a fan of relying on screws to hold floor up. I’d add actual lumber to carry load on sides.

@darryldarks Год назад

Tyler! The 2nd floor is fully supported by 10 foot walls now. You’ll see that in a future video. The joist are both nails and screwed into the rafters. The joists are being held by two 6 inch GRK Rugged Structure screws with a crazy high breaking capacity and 6 galvanized framing nails per side. She’s not moving anywhere, my broski. Remember the point was to get joist in place without having to maneuver around the first floor framing because the roof is around up. Sorry, if I didn’t explain that enough. 🙏👍

@jedwheeler2728 Год назад

Lookin' good! Just curious, how come you didn't build the stairs first, then just carry them up to save time vs the winch? Not enough clearance maybe? Lookin' pretty sweet tho man! Keep it up

@darryldarks Год назад

Jed! That’s a great question! I suppose I didn’t love the idea of walking up the stairs with an 8 foot sheet of plywood because of the clearance on the stairs is only 6 foot 6 inches because of the angle and their placement.

I wasn’t sure if I wanted an 8ft, 9ft, or 10ft ceiling. So, I waited until the rafters were up. For me, a 10ft ceiling was the way to go. It’s more spacious on the first floor where most of our time will be spent. 🙏👍

I'm also doing an A Frame build and am in the planning/design phase now. I've found a source for awesome windows and doors that are 1/4 - 1/3 the price of other windows out there. I just met up with them at the IBS show last week in Las Vegas. I'd be happy to pass their contact info on if you are interested. Hit me up.
