In this episode of My Dream Shop, we are now finished with the concrete floor and back to installing LP Weatherlogic roof sheathing. RR Buildings Post Frame Building Plans including the Dream Shop RR HQ 2.0 rrplans.bigcartel.com/
Fellow math enthusiast (engineer) - I created a Roof Valley calculator in google sheets but I'm not sure how to share it since links are blocked. If P1 is the pitch of the roof you're diving into and P2 is the pitch of the roof that is doing the diving, then your formula for the offset distance of that runner from your mark would be your framing lumber thickness (assume 1.5) divided by the tangent of the angle between the two roof's normal vector. This angle is equal to acos(144/(sqrt(P1^2+144)*sqrt(P2^2+144))). This angle is also your bevel angle if you decided to bevel the runner and/or sheathing. If both roofs are a 4/12 pitch then P1 = P2 = 4, your roof normal vector angle would be 25.84°, and your offset would be 3.1". Given most framing lumber comes with a corner radius that is between 1/8 and 3/16, this would shorten your offset distance by about 3/16 so that the sheathing makes contact with the radius. This was actually the most difficult part of the calculations and isn't really needed unless you want to be perfect. Thanks for the challenge and keep up the awesome work!!
Serious props to the camera work and editing! The music with the beat pause (I don't recall ever hearing music in one of these videos)... The dozen + nail gun shots across the roof... Having both guys mic'ed up... Many other interesting edits and shots over the last few videos... Super well done!
You are the hardest working dude I know. I just got done with a 12hr day of sheeting the ceiling of my 16’ high ceiling in my shop by myself and I see you working by yourself (old best house video), setting up cameras, filming, moving cameras, and editing it all while having a family is an incredible amount of work. Just wanted to say great job
Except for having to try out each of the cheesy effects that are included with the editing software. Had a film professor who swore he could tell how much time an editor had using each different editing software suite by how many of the kitschy canned special transitions they felt compelled to add to their videos, since the more time you spend editing the less you feel a need to use gimmicks to try and impress your viewing audience.
Greg, I know Kyle can be anale, but I worked for a guy in a custom cabinet shop and I was Kyle. 30 years later we're together and he tells this guy that he worked for me! How is that for acknowledgement!! I took the ability that God gave me and give it a 110%.
I've not had this situation happen to myself bit I have heard from others: With that green Huber board on their Zip system stuff, you can of course squeegee it to get good contact, but also make sure you roll it with their roller! That roller has little "Z" shaped bit juuuust protruding from either side on the roller so that it basically gets stamped onto the tape, and Huber will only honor their warranty if they see that Z on the tape from you rolling it. Otherwise they'll claim it was an improper installation.
So nice to watch craftsman at work, looking amazing! We got the Genstone installed and it looks fantastic, now I'm trying to compact the rock to get ready for the foam board. Still need to get the gutters installed yet and I thought I would cut in the lights under the soffit.
As usual and absolutely typical for RRBuildings videos, the content was topnotch, the editing was spot on and although some soundtrack to portions of the video use to be the norm, the added music really elevated the video and brought back memories of the early days for me (2018) of RRBuildings videos. I'll be watching this video several times to make sure I catch every nugget of information.
Now I'm even more excited to build the new rabbit hutch. but it will probably take until next week until my Festool TS60 arrives. great job guys. greetings from Germany
Its good to see it rain after a pour because then you know good the concrete guys did their forming and finishing of the concrete. If you see puddles that don't dry up you know there is a low spot.
Hey there! Love your videos and craftsmanship! I have what may be a dumb question but, am curious why you run the sheathing vertical as opposed to horizontal? I know you are busy but, maybe one of your viewers can enlighten me. Thanks!
for LP Weatherlogic ON A ROOF, the long dimension (the major strength axis) must be across the roof supports and continuous over at least 2 spans (so in this case the 4 footers work, too). for LP Weatherlogic on a wall, it can go vertically or horizontally
Thanks Kyle for all your videos, very informative and enjoyable to watch. I am looking forward to watching more of your content into the next year! Happy New Year to you and your family!
Good to see the roof being closed in, that Magni is soo usefull. you lost me on that valley build got lost in all the caculations, 🙃😂then it all comes together😮Real clever how youre brain works Kyle. This may be the last vid before New Years day ,Soo,!! Happy New Year to you and youres for 2024, Hope you have a Healthy & Prosperous year, and the same to Greg.
I was curious about the Hubert zip roller so I searched it up....There's always a chance i'm wrong but it looks to me like they sold you that marketing line on the hard to roll two uneven surfaces. It appears the roller accounts for that with two separated roller surfaces. Just like Greg said, if it looks straight it is straight. lol.....regardless, ur not wrong. Great build. As always looking forward to the next video.
Would a screw binder allow you to make more precise adjustments to the chain tension rather than the lever binders you use? I have wondered about that on several videos where I watched you search for the right chain link to hook the binder onto.
Keeping the slab wet for 28 days will almost eliminate all cracking and allow concrete to cure w/o internal stresses. Maybe do as DOT does on interstates and cover all structual pours with visqueen for a month
Should have been covered with concrete blankets,to stop the surface freezing. If the surface freezes it is possible that a thin layer will not set properly, in a bad case you can brush it off in a month or two. I do not think that this will happen in this case, as it only usually happens if you get a heavy frost before the initial set. You can spray the surface that is at risk of freezing with a concrete antifreeze. But I’ve never thought it does the surface much good.
Funny, I've never seen any concrete covered with visqueen for a month in the 40 years I have done highway construction. Of course I have only worked in 12 or 13 states, so maybe DOT has different requirements where you are from.
Or get 2 jumper cable sets and connect 2 cars in series (Magni negative -> Car #1 negative; Car #1 positive -> Car #2 negative; Car #2 positive -> Magni positive). The only thing to watch out for in this is that you must never allow the body of the 2 cars to come into contact (directly or through something else like a tool or a slab of metal roof panel or whatever), because the car chassis is connected to that car's negative, and connecting the 2 chassis together will short one of the car batteries.
On our tractors if the batteries are really dead just jump it off with one vehicle , hook positive to positive post on battery, or the positive post on the starter, then hook the ground clamp to a good ground anywhere on the machine , a bolt, a strap, anywhere that isn’t covered in paint preferably. Let it charge for a while 15-30 minutes, it should start. Make sure the key is off in the machine while it’s charging lol.
I want my next home to be a high quality post frame build, but there aren't any post framers on this level here in NE OH that I'm aware of. I was considering taking it on myself, but this will be my forever home, so I want a professional job. Plus it's damn near impossible to get financing on a self build.
@karlwithak. "Small scale"? What are you smoking?! This absolutely is not a small scale job. It sounds to me like you just don't have access to decent contractors, which is a common problem. They do exist in some areas, but they're always booked. That leaves mainly low quality jokers who are out to take advantage. In any case, not everyone has the skill or the desire to take on a self build on this scale, so don't assume that's always an option.
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. I thought you weren’t one of them, Kyle. I thought I could trust you. It goes without saying that hearing the phrase “That’s good enough. That’ll do.” come out of your mouth cut deep into my soul. You know better. 😂
Loving this build so far. But I will be curious to see… where your rooflines are meeting up next to your gables, looks like some prime bird nest real estate. Interested to see what your solution will be for this. EDIT: That Truewerk hoodie is fire!
Interesting roof design, will the side roof die into the small main roof gable as it is now? I have thougt the peak will be connected and have a valley top to bottom.
Love your videos. Just asking a question to understand because I am looking to build a shouse and i am trying to learn. At the 22 minute mark, why wouldn't you run the all rafter tails to the other roof and therefore extend the valley all the way down? It seems like it would be a cleaner look and less area for water to get into.
Roller vs squeezing the tapes. A rubber roller barrel is elastic, too. Some systems have special stamp indentations just to verify that you did roll all the tape and not overlooking some parts. Ensure the nail pattern before applying the tape. Structural sheathing depends on nail patterns to every board. Inspectors will not be amused when nails are hidden behind tapes. At least get some pictures for them and ask them whether the will accept this as a documentation.
Hey Kyle got a question about your foot wear! What brand and style boots are you wearing? I have worn my Columbia's out and I need new boots. What your wearing looks very comfortable, and I would like to see if I can find me some and try them out. Great video as well. I like the well balanced videos of your shop. Love It!! Happy New Year!!! 2024
Have you ever considered using a ratcheting chain tensioner so you can get those 1/8 or smaller adjustments easier than having to go an extra link or use those boards that slip sometimes? I’ve never adjusted walls with chains like you do it I was just wondering if you thought it might work.
Oh my Oh my Oh my. Yes in the good valley. The valley of sun. The degrees. Oh yes. Not a temperature in the sunny warm valley but an angle. The shape of the angle maybe a bevel too. The angle of the offset. A key component for the moment. Factoring in The Level. The Level knows. See the moment of the angle in the sun. It makes sense and all fits together. There in the valley. Maybe some compound angles but the right length to consider too. Hold that and Nail it Greg. There in the valley of the sun. ～😉～
The math is interesting - do you use BIM as a design tool? You are building accurate enough that a digital twin would allow you to pre-cut on the ground or in your shop on a rainy day. Math on site can be time consuming because you check it so many times.
Oh yes, Ya gotta square the corner and account for slippage or skew and the age of the bevel board, never mind the average temperature since that chalk line was snapped and set. Everybody knows that the fascia can be wrong and needs to be checked and checked again. So many variables can affect the square and never mind being level. Leveling is similar but again there you're gonna be checking the bubble and not the square. Ya still pull and snap the line accounting for skew or slippage but there, it's all about the bubble. Everybody knows that. Right? The square and the level, then and only then can you start installing the plank. Course then there is the surface of the plank. Important to consider. And the very biggest worry with the plank is the warpage. Along with the warpage comes the other two variables. The square and the level. Whew! ~ I'll tell ya. 😵💫
Seems like these expensive sheet suppliers would add some sort of bumper for spacing so you don't have to mess with nails to space every sheet. When they do this I want a 5% royalty
Question - Where your fascia board dives into the valley - how do you keep the the water off so the fascia board so it does not rot? I have two locations on my roof where this is a constant problem.
If I may ask, why would you want to do Box gutters, from a maintenance point of view, this would be the first place to get a leak? I always avoid a Box gutter as much as possible. and all 3 those roofs could be joined (eliminating the need for box gutters). But I'm curious to hear your thoughts (these are just my opinions).
He will extend the purlins after the sheathing is done so they can die off on top of the sheathing for uniformity. The sheathing on the outer roofs probably runs all the way down to get the necessary strength since they're separate roofs.
