I’m starting the largest and most expensive single project I have ever attempted. We are attempting to transform our backyard into the ultimate hangout spot. It all starts in this video with the main attraction: a roof built over the existing concrete patio.
The design I came up with is a little different from many others that I have seen in the fact it uses trusses and only partially connects to the house. I share my process of digging the foundation, setting posts, installing beams, hanging trusses, and the roofing process. I made great progress late in the summer but then it slowed when I went back to teaching. In part 2 I will do all of the finishing work including electrical, wrapping the posts & beams, tongue and groove, fascia, soffit, gutters, and downspouts. Then in future videos there will be many more projects that aim to totally transform our backyard.

As a G.C.who has been in the trades for 30+years,I’m very impressed with your DIY project!Your willingness to tackle a roof tie in along with your attention to detail in your project and video is commendable!Also great to see you having your dad work along side you,I was lucky to have my carpenter father teach me all his trade secrets.Keep up the great work and look forward to seeing the next one!!Aloha from the big island!🤙🌴

@samuelwotring633 Год назад

It was a great job everything was perfect except for the 6x6s Post questionable talking to educated men telling you that it was okay to bury below concrete line 40 years is nothing in a building buildings last 100 plus years I I know I work on them all the time. 40 Years of short-sightedness on a main support post

@maxpol007 Год назад

@@samuelwotring633 Can't agree more then that, simply bury any wood below ground level should be avoided at all cost. Been say that, I might still use his way of setting with difference of give wood extra protection in ground with rubber wrap or some EZAC glued over below ground part. Why is that, cause setting post above required cross structural supports braces and in this implementation will be hard to achieve similar final look result.

So far so good . Well done ! Congrats ……

Don't be embarrassed on how long the project takes you are a working dad. The project looks great can't wait to see the end result.

@cb4920 Год назад

Good job!!! I’m an old retired builder, you went about the job very thoughtfully and with reason. Regardless of any critique somebody might make, you did do a fine job of it.

@lisabyrum2382 Год назад

Fantastic job. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the process. Your attention to detail and way you explained each step made it so easy to understand. Thanks for sharing! I'm looking forward to seeing the finished project!

@emiliomassanisso983 Год назад

Nothing to be embarrassed about! Your tenacity is commendable. Great work!

@James-by9pl Год назад

This is real craftsmanship. I appreciate the detailed construction as well as the explanation of why. Keep working at you own pace, undoubtedly life always plays a part in whatever project or build we are planning or working on! No need to be embarrassed. Keep on keeping on!

Do not apologize! Starting a family is hard work. Your time is your most valuable asset right now. You’re working, raising a family, marriage, dealing with illnesses, making content, and life gets in the way. Investing your time to create a great space for your family to enjoy for years to come is a pleasure to watch, and I’m a fan. Keep doing the best you can each day and it’ll add up to a great home and great life. It’s nice to see a creative producer instead of entitled taker. God bless.

Excellent job! I frame houses for a living, and I am super impressed with the quality of your work!

@johnrussell5180 Год назад

Very nice project, young man. Even though you frequently reminded viewers that you were not a professional carpenter, you still did a splendid job of doing things well and with lots of desire to doing what was correct. Your final result will surely be something you can be proud of, and a big thanks to dad I am sure. You can't beat good ole dad's help and guidance.

@ThatTechTeacher427 Год назад

Thank you very much! You have that correct and it's hard to find good help these days! 😂

@paullaverty3038 Год назад

Man you're a rock star when it came to building this it is amazing how professional you are doing something that you don't do for a living don't be embarrassed or make excuses this is a fantastic fantastic freaking series job and videos great work and I will watch the last one when are the remainder when they come thanks again congratulations and a fantastic job.

@ramblingrosie3762 Год назад

Hello from Australia, you should feel very proud of what you achieved, shout out to your dad for his help. You do not need to apologise, life has a habit of slowing down the best laid plans. I hope you make more of these videos. I am looking forward to more backyard renovations. Cheers from 🇦🇺

That was one of the most comprehensive project for my skill level that I've seen in a while. Great job.

@DetroitHomeInspector 10 месяцев назад

Great video, was a high school construction teacher. I personally don't put wood posts in the ground anymore. I did a very similar project and poured concrete posts about 3 feet high and 18x18 inches. Going to put stone on them to dress them up. Don't be embarrassed at slow progress, you saved a ton of money.

@jackkirk5463 Год назад

Nicely put together video! The drone footage works well too. I did a similar project at our house, but couldn't do a full roof due to our HOA, so we built the structure as a pergola. Good luck in finishing it. It'll be worth it! Great job.

Great video. This give me lot of confident about doing my cover patio this summer. Thanks for sharing it.

@davidmc62 Год назад

I have been building for 40 years, and I am impressed how you handled this project. You obviously did your homework before you got started. Very nice job.👍 Oh, If you ever tackle another shingle roof, the feet on the roofing nail gun are adjustable. You simply set the feet under the bottom edge of the lower shingle, and rest the shingle in hand down on the face of the safety/tip of the gun. That will give you the correct and consistent spacing. Depending on which shingles you use will determine the spacing. Metric shingles typically are 5 5/8" and ASE are 5". For some reason the west coast uses the metric shingles which are 1 meter or 39 3/4"x 13 1/4", where the east coast uses SAE shingles which are 1 yard or 36" x 12". Don't ask, because I have no idea why. Anyway That a great job you did! 👍

@cheapdad2813 Год назад

Congrats on a great project. The scissor trusses made that project so much easier. You probably could get by without ice and water shield on a roof over an unheated porch but it won't hurt anything.

@tonyaction5284 Год назад

You’re a beast brother!!!!!! The only thing I didn’t agree with was back filling the 6X6 posts with dirt. I would of went with concrete (with a few long screws running through the posts before back filling with concrete for extra support). I’m a GC and have seen these posts rot within 8-10 years. Not only that, termites will destroy any wood, pressure treated or not. Other than that, your project looks great!!!!!🤙🏼😎

@jonsmith9708 4 месяца назад

@davidj.gallardo4553 Год назад

Dude, your patio addition came out awesome. I really like the clever design you came up with joining the new section with the old..... I especially like you're the first DIYer I've seen actually use a hammer and nail on their build...😊

@sidsid9808 Год назад

Installation of first truss was ingenious

@thooper989 Год назад

Incredible attention to detail! This is why I like doing my own projects. Without the pressure of production you can take the extra time to make everything perfect. In production I was told to build with a tolerance of 1/4 inch. I personally aim for 1/16. I’m pretty sure you are building to 1/64 or smaller lol. Amazing work and documentation.

@ThatTechTeacher427 Год назад

Hahaha I hear you and there was a ton of time for thinking!

@loragunning5394 Год назад

I've worked in the single family home industry for over 40 years and usual tolerances for rough framing is 1/8", which is also the width of a saw cut. Trusses are built to 1/16" accuracy tolerances. Anything smaller is for cabinetry and fine finish work.

@jasonfurl7207 Год назад

Thanks for posting! I have been playing around with a similar design for a few months (when I have a chance to sketch and plan). This was helpful to confirm several similar concepts that I have been considering- and I have nearly identical dimensions. Great job- it looks awesome.

@ThatTechTeacher427 Год назад

Can't wait to see the rest of the patio whenever you release the next video about it.

Looks GREAT. This is something I’ve wanted to do as well to our back patio. But I cheated and ordered the Toja Grid system for 6x6 beams. The kit consists of 4 Trio Arm corner brackets and 4 Solo bases. I’ve found at my local lumber yard some 6x6x16’ beams that were returns and got them at a great price. Took a few weekends of cutting and staining them. It turned out pretty well. Wife’s happy. Love your project. Look forward to your next video.

@ThatTechTeacher427 Год назад

Thanks I appreciate it. Your project sounds great and better the wife was happy!

@buynsell365 7 месяцев назад

@gregorymacneil2836 Год назад

Easiest way to keep the roofing underlayment straight is to cut it in the middle and overlap. Not sure you needed the Ice and Water shield because the space under is not heated - BUT - I think for safety (slip resistance) it is worth it the extra effort - You did a very good job!

@jgranga171 3 месяца назад

WOW what an inspiration. This is so cool! I would like to DIY a covered patio on my place as well. The difference is that the back of the house is 2-story, so the roof would need to extend off of the existing one. No idea how to do that yet but I'm learning more every day. I consider myself to be pretty handy and I try to do all of my own stuff when possible. Thanks again for such a thorough video, this is really great!
