Absolutely Beautiful !!!

Stager your floor sheathing joints for better strength and so the cracks between don’t open up. This also comply with code.

love your rear garden that it backs onto woods

Very nice job, a lot ,very secure you did a wonderful job🙏😀💕💯!! Thank you.

I had a guy do add on the ply board wasn't like urs it has alot of red flags so I had to remove all ply board.this will help out alot.thxs.

You did awsome job bro we are going to addition almost same 16x14 , Thank you for share your experince God bless you & your family

I must say, You did a wonderful job by yourself. You made me believe I can do it too. Thanks

uncanny, I plan on the exact same addition did you have plans or design yourself my biggest concern is how you insulated the floor and did you build skirt. you did a fantastic job especially by yourself I don't believe anyone really appreciates the extra steps you must take without a extra hand and also( thank you and your family for their sacrifice and your service)

excellent work 👍👍👌

Good video.! Enjoy watching new builds.. Going to be a great addition 👍 I would have staggered the joints for more strength and keep joints from moving. I put a 14x20 addition on our cabin a few years ago… B Deacon Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦

Really nice work!

The one thing if someone has ever built a deck is to never put the Joist holders before . All wood joists have different heights and this will make your decking wavy. First mount the joists and then put the holder from beneath so it tightly supports the joist. Realized this within 5 minutes of building the deck

Nice!

Good job!!

Good work.

Nice job.

Also some board vinyl flashing behind the ledger against the house and also put a leather flashing drip cap. This is code around my area aswell. Everything else looks 👍. Well done

Really enjoyed your addition. The only thing I would do different is rent or hire a boring machine for your piers. I guess your young and I'm 68. Makes a difference ya know.

Bro I have a metal roof and I add on rafters to my existing metal by screwing wood into my existing roof to build rafters without cutting anything out

Great video just subscribed keep up the great work 👍✅👍

looking to cover a dye pit which is a step down about 12'' deep.... the width is 12' with concrete walls on each side and 100' in length you think ledger boards on each side with support somewhere between the 12'

Typically the floor joists will run the same direction as the ceiling and rafters, this is a calculation that needs to be made before you dig you footings. But nice work.

Invest in a set of good clamps went you work alone, it’s a life saver

In Canada we use joist hanger nails not normal nails in a nail gun.

I’m a novice building my first 12x16 Platform, for a wall tent, question why did you double up on the outside rim joist? Thank you

Hey brother. Time time get the proper hanger nails. Simpson strong tie 10d. They are designed for connectors and hangers. My inspector would fail me for that.

How long did this project take from Start to Floor fully framed?

Is that span acceptable for those joists. Would love to know the size of those footers and the spacing if it’s good to go

Putting a 14x16 addition on my house next summer. The previous owner installed a raised brick/block wall foundation with a slab to bring it level with the back of the house so I have a good start. The slab is about 12 inches below the top of the wall so I framed it in with 2x6 to install the deck that is there now which will all be coming out. I watched most of this series so far and am going to use it as my template since the dimensions are similar and your technique looks solid. Only big difference it I am going with 2x4 and ceilingn needs to be 9 ft. It's sort of an all season room that I can use as a golf simulator room (hence the 9 ft ceiling) until I sell the house down the road. Like you I will be doing this by myself and I have some questions that I will post under each video so hope you don't mind. One I have here is, how thick was the plywood flooring, looks 3/4, and was it tongue and groove? It did not appear so. What gauge nail did you use to secure it? I assume 10D. Were they ring shank or just common nails. All looks good to me brother - best series I could find that gives me what I need. Thanks AE

Hey man, curious what did you do for the floor insulation? I’m currently building on a 24x24 addition to my prefab home and I’m stuck at that point. Not sure if I should put on my plywood subfloor yet.

Good job brotha

Great video

I keep getting a lot of practical tips! I noticed that you added a top cap piece of lumber to your beam. Curious as to why that was added. Thanks!

What were you putting on top of the joist before you placed your plywood? Excellent series - truly helping with my thought process as I have to build my wife a 14x24 craft room and by have to I mean I want to. Good job so far!

Was the bearing beam to short? Noticed you added 2x4s on top of the beam?

Don’t be afraid to use quick clamps when you work alone! They can be a great “second” pair of hands.

Only thing I was wondering, with all the great over-engineering, why not install 3 more posts in the center of the span? I know those joists are plenty strong, and I may be off here, just might've done that myself outta caution

Nice video. Just curious what made you decide to double up the end joists?

Отлично 👍

I would of put three more concrete Pilar’s at center mid point just to take the weight stress off the center of platform. 14 feet is a long distance for this build. How did it pass inspection? Other than that brother, your project looks good🤙🏼💪🏼

Should have started on the other end with the plywood so the seams were staggered

so when did you check for square?

Are you using regular 3” hot dip nail to fasten the hangers? I thought code requires sds screw or 16d penny nails?

You attach the end joist to the ledger with a concealed hanger. Then you sister another joist to it. Does the sister joist not get a hanger? And how do you attach the sister joist to the ledger?

Why the double rim boards?

Mama still got the moves…..

Thank you for sharing, great job. Did I read correctly that your concrete posts are 4 feet deep?

you canter levered the end. will it be strong enough for the outside building wall?

Thanks for not attaching your beams to the side of the posts with nails like half the builders on RU-vid do! I've seen whole cabins resting on nails. Crazy.

You left out leveling, ?, did not see it, I was confused about joist hangers "later",pleas explain how that works. Thank you Ron

Nice job. I am trying to do the exact same thing (mine is 21' x 20') but I am getting flak from the city building official. Quick question for you, did you get permit and if so was there any question by the inspection dept about the materials you used? Here in Minnesota they are wanting an engineer to review and approve. Really frustrating. Mark

I thought this was for a deck. Do I need to do the same for just a deck? Like the size of the joist and things like that?

Heres what I don't get. I see everyone leveling out the joists at the ledger board side before installing the hangers, which makes sense, but then on the beam side they just lay the joists on the beam and attach with the straps. It seams like that end never gets leveled out like the ledger board side. Everyone must have a wavy floor/deck on one side.

What size nail are you using for nail gun? I'm read nails that u hammer should 3 1/2 Nail gun should be 3 1/4, but when putting 2 joist together it's only about 3 inches, I figured 3 inches makes more sense,

Great video......question if I'm building a room 14x14 what size of 2x6 do I get for the floor????? 14 feet or 16 feet?????

Should have probably staggered your plywood sheets.

Awesome job!! What air compressor and nail gun did you use?

Is that just a regular framing gun or a PPN? Seriously impressed if you hit center mass of joist hanger holes with a basic framing gun.

With a variance of heights on joists how does that affect deck boards at the beam location as the joists sit on top of the beam?

I'm going to build a 14x14 storage shed. I see you used 2x10s. Would 2x6 be sturdy enough since there won't be foot traffic all the time?

Was this project ever inspected? .. How'd you get a away with not having footers .. example 12" wide by 42in deep .. other areas maybe 12to24 deep .. around the whole perimeter.

So that span is ok to be connected from end to house with no support in the middle?

Hangers on overhangs should be installed upside down.

Can I use this same set up for building a deck minus the sheathing ?

The only critique i have is the way you laid your sub floor, i would have altered the joint down the center by using a shorter starter sheet and used screws nobody likes squeaky floors. But that's me your doing a great job

don't know how to comment this project. Probably need to put flashing tape between ledger board and plywood. Joist hanger wrong size. Also installing joist hanger after installing joist ? Using nail instead Simpson strong screw? Plywood for flooring?

This probably a dumb question but are all your joist PS? Since it will not be exposed to weather bc it’s a covered addition?

Since you cut your wall plate short you could beef up the 1st and last joist with an inside corner plate. 1 big or two 6" 90s. For sistering long boards you really should have a few good quick clamps and a few large squeeze clamps if you ar working alone with lengths. You missed flashing your Ledger board before you got going. Come inspections ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qJd8BXe2Oog.html. Are you going to lock in that floor with below insulation voids and vapor barrier HVAC electrical supplies, water? drain?

Did you install flashing in between the wood and the house?

I see you put a 2x6 flat on top of your beam? I must have missed that in the beam video. Was that to prevent water getting in between beam boards?

If I’m using this same layout for a deck? I see that you used 2x10s could I use 2x8 and have the same 40lb load? And same stability? Or do I need 2x10 being a 14x14?

Hi boss, I noticed on top of the beams, you put a top plate of 2x6? Why?

Nice video by chance did you ever consider engineered floor truss for the joist?

How many feet is the collum away from the foundation of the house, how deep and is it standing on top of a footing?

Did you flash behind your ledger. Great job though man.

The 2x10 joists are never a consistent width. Just laying them on the outer support beam will make uneven floor support won’t it?

Will you put any insulation underneath?

What did the lumber run ya.. if you dont mind tell'in :)

Why did you install joist hangers after all joists were up?

So is that ledger nailed into the the house or concrete?

when do you add the floor insulation?

That doubler took ages. So did loading the gun. Not stair stepping sheets!?!

question are the floor joist pressure treated?

What would you say estimated time spent on this part of the project was

Do the crowns go up or down for the floor

What is the size of lumber are you using? 2x8 or 2x10

Are those posts too short? Will they split? Seeing varied info online.

What did you use for foundation?

Why only one hanger in corners instead of 2 2x10 strong tie hangers?

What is the logic for the 2 x 4 on top of the beam?

How much does it usually cost to have a 14x14 built?

Hi, at what distance are the 12s placed apart?

Are the floor joist treated?

Did you insulate the floor? If so, how?

What size joist did u use for the flooring

No underfloor insulation?

Why is the double board around?

Can I have your material list please?
