In north Texas use the word tornado rather than hurricane for the barkets. Normally the only thing we get from hurricanes that hit the Gulf Coast is heavy rain and a little wind and maybe a tornado or two from it.

I only discovered your channel a few days ago, so I have watched you build your small workshop, & now this. I am much more confident now that I can create my own building from scratch.

@Z-Bart 10 месяцев назад

Never knew the hurricane brackets could be installed on the outside. I always though they were put on the inside of the building. Nice to have options.

@Samcraftcom 10 месяцев назад

The exterior install is the preferred location, but when done as a retrofit or repair placing them inside is better than nothing. :) I installed them on the inside of my current workshop when I built it, not knowing better then.

@coachtkramer 4 месяца назад

@@SamcraftcomDo the screws in the hurricane clip affect the exterior siding? It seems that the screw head would push the siding out. Thanks in advance.

@johnson8950 10 месяцев назад

Very instructive. I will find it very interesting to see how you put the trusses up without damaging the hurricane ties. I'm used to 24' or 36' trusses and flipping them by hand maybe you have something else in mind. That's why we always put them on after. Glad you have nice weather for this. Trying to do this in rain or snow would not be fun.

@Samcraftcom 10 месяцев назад

I hope I do not regret mounting them ahead of time. Most of my research of raising trusses solo was to do it this way. We shall soon find out! :)

@homebuilthappiness2919 3 месяца назад

Awesome playlist, I'm watching the entire thing while planning our home build for spring 2025. Question, while nailing your double top plate directly on top of studs, how are you not hitting the nails that hold the stud to the top plate? Is there a technique to this, sheer luck or something I'm missing? I would think it would be better to offset a few inches and nail at an angle towards the stud no?

When nailing the top plate on, I like to angle the nails. One nail angled to the left, the other angled to the right. Or to the inside and outside. Having the nails at opposing angles helps to lock the 2 boards together much better than just nails straight in. Super job, looking good. Thanks for bringing us along

Hahaha Sam, this has just proved a point that ALL men make to their better half's. When we are asked " why don't you throw that away, your not going to use it!". And we reply back " I'm going to be needing it at some point!". The roofing brackets maybe about 6 years old but you still used them and not only did you have a chance to use them but you nodoubt have managed to save a few dollars in the process. Sam what is the plan for the roofing are you doing a flat roof or a slight pitch which alway's looks way better!!!. As always buddy 💯% 👍 🇬🇧.

@Samcraftcom 10 месяцев назад

As much as I would like to take credit, I think I just got really lucky since we were cleaning up a storage area a few days before and I found them. :) The roof will be a gable pitch roof made up of engineered trusses.

@roberto.peterson9917 10 месяцев назад

suggestion to put a 2x2 around top plate for a nail/ screw anchor place for ceiling panels Sheetrock or other paneling also i believe called California corners also for paneling screws at corner locations eliminate floating edges

@Samcraftcom 10 месяцев назад

You're exactly right on the California corners - they act as drywall nailers inside the walls. The ceiling nailers will be installed later on, but only on the gable end walls. Anything put in place on the truss bearing (side) walls would need to be cut and fit between each truss to overhang into the room.

@Screamingpinesfarm 10 месяцев назад

ok you are good you were able to make one video out setting the top plate will check in with you in a month see how far you get. you should have the truss's on and maybe the fasica by then.

@MNTNSTARZ80. 10 месяцев назад

I just noticed that you don't have gutters on your carport. You should put them on the side facing your shop, otherwise the water running off will splash against the side of the shop, go through any seams/gaps and rot the walls.

@Samcraftcom 10 месяцев назад

It's on the list. As it is built right now it's "not compatible" for gutters to be added. However, I've come up with a solution and way to add them properly.

Sam, these engineered rafters… did you design them and are you building them yourself, or did you order them? Asking for a friend. 😉

@Samcraftcom 9 месяцев назад

I ordered them from a truss company. I didn't want to risk the 20' wide span to my on creation. :) Plus the cost of the trusses really wasn't that bad compared to the raw materials costs.

@collincolston8443 10 месяцев назад

I was wondering the same thing and also would put the trusses on first and then install the ties.

@Samcraftcom 10 месяцев назад

The recommended location of the roof to top plate hurricane ties is on the exterior side of the wall (same side as the structural sheathing).

@ActionJackson2360 10 месяцев назад

That's called a tie plate cause it ties the walls together.

@andrewpinson1268 10 месяцев назад

I have looked for an answer to this, and maybe if you have time you might give it some thought. Putting up walls on a slab where the slab extends 10: past the wall with no way to move walls closer to edge. How do you keep rain water from coming under or through those pressure treated plates. Thanks.

@inmyimage1081 10 месяцев назад

the top of any concrete that butts up against the exterior walls needs to be lower than the surface of the main area.

@Samcraftcom 10 месяцев назад

Here's my non-expert opinion of how I would address the issue if the concrete and wall placement cannot be moved. I would treat the wall-to-slab-seam similar to how windows are flashed. I would put a wide waterproofing membrane over the wall and down to the slab and extend it as far as possible -- all as one continuous piece from wall to slab. I would use something like "GCP Applied Technologies Bituthene 4000 Waterproof Membrane". If you're framing the walls on top of the concrete, don't forget your treated wood bottom plate and your sill sealant (foam strip and also a few beads of Big Stretch caulking). Think of your wall and slab as a home's basement wall and foundation and waterproof them the same way.

@judithwebber2102 10 месяцев назад

Does your county require a building permit and bldg. inspections as you progress. It appears you are following code.

@EngineersHomestead 10 месяцев назад

One downside of the simpson screws in that particular application is interference with exterior sheathing. Not a huge deal but it will bow out a bit up top.

@Samcraftcom 10 месяцев назад

That is true, but it will also be covered/hidden by the soffit assuming a standard soffit install vs. exposed rafter tails.

I've always seen the hurricane brackets installed on the inside of the wall not the outside. I guess your soffit will hide it just an interesting choice. looking good though won't be long before you get to move in.

Yes! They were very affordable and enabled me to know my roof structure was "right" and not worry about a 20 foot wide open span.

@richardscarlett7942 10 месяцев назад

Should have just built the double top plate into the wall when you had it on the floor building it and also you could have put the hurricane straps on at the same time. That would have eliminated all that overhead work and scaffold work until the Raptors at least anyway

@billh28025 10 месяцев назад

HOW DO YOU MEASURE HOW LONG YOUR TRUSSES HAVE TO BE?

@Samcraftcom 10 месяцев назад

For engineered trusses, the company you go through will ask you questions and design them for you. :) The want to know the following information: exterior wall width, desired overhang, roof pitch, truss spacing, and if you want drop gable end trusses or otherwise. I talked to several for quotes and they all were very accommodating and happy to answer my questions.

@johnson8950 10 месяцев назад

If I were you and I was going to be flipping the trusses alone, I would take off the hurricane clips and put in a 2x4 stop at each truss space then when they were flipped up put a temporary 2x4 across the trusses to keep them upright and stable, then remove the 2x4 stops and attach the trusses. Doing trusses alone is not fun. Best wishes. And watch the points.
