@lucisabellatomias3699 4 года назад

Amazing. I feel like a regular old housewife can build this. I am inspired. Probably need more details to pull this off but I'm tempted to go to Home Depot.

@ld1099 3 года назад

I am exactly a regular old housewife lol. With kids that need this. I headed to Lowes and bought 6 - 2x8s for the base in pressure treated exterior wood and 5 cement foundation blocks to build on instead of sitting it right on the ground since we flood. I haven't got past this stage yet bc I need to get compactable gravel. Let me know how far you get.

We bought the material and I helped the neighbour/builder to put it all together. We photographed the Bunnings model which was way over-priced and modified to suit our requirements - it turned out great. I like your veranda and the colour scheme Bill. Italians like to build - that's why we have Rome! I worked on the North Shore in Sydney and working as a liney and used to visit job sites of two Italian mates/chippies who pooled their resources and build really nice homes and sold them for a motza. They didn't just build quick n nasties though - everything they did was quality work. It's in the Italian dna ;-))

@lucisabellatomias3699 4 года назад

Hi again. I hope you dont mind my questions. At 5:25, the spare cuts of timber you used as chocks to provide extra support in attaching the roof pitch, what angle did you cut those. I understand that the roof pitch angle is 22.5 degrees. But the angle for the space where the roof meets the wall frame, I'm having a hard time figuring that out as my 22.5 degrees cuts did not fit that space perfectly like yours did. Please advise. Thank you.

@jtr4405 3 года назад

I was wondering the same question too.

Hi Bill, what did you use to attach the ridge cap to the roof and did this go through into the wood you had running the length (i think you called them roof rails)? I have been building this and just about done but my roof rails will be just outside where the ridge cap sits. Thanks

@billshowto 4 года назад

Hi the ridge cap can be screwed straight into the roof sheets 👍

@Aaron637 5 лет назад

How did u fasten the frame to the base/floor? Great video by the way. Cheers

@billshowto 5 лет назад

Hi, the frames were nailed down to the base using a framing nail gun and the each frame was nailed to the joining frame. At first it may seem unstable but as you join all the frames together and support it with the roof rails/rafters it becomes very sturdy. 👍
