Fred, I appreciate your comment. So many weak people want to talk down to me when I show a mistake. It makes them feel better for a few seconds. You and me are strong enough to share our lack of perfection. LOL!
Hey if you never made a mistake you never made anything! A bit of chop and bzzzzp and you'll be good to go. Thanks for posting & looking forward to seeing the solution.
I can imagine what the fix will be. A bit of a setback but everything is looking great. So do you think the Fast 2k will stop any post rot? It looks like it will seal them up quite well.
The Fast2K is the real deal. I have did a good bit of research on it. It bonds to the post making it water proof. We hope to be under cover by the end of next week.
As I explained in the video, if I notched the post tops, it would not have been wide enough. It all works out. The pole barn has been up for almost three years. It has been through very strong storms.
When you are driving down the road and you see a pile of trusses laying in a field or in the edge of the woods. When no other work has been done at all no dirt work or anything besides a driveway. That would be a person who has made the same mistake and decided not to ever build anything ever again until the trusses is on the job. Almost all of the builders including myself have made the same mistake once upon a time. It's not a big deal but it is something that you have to deal with. Thanks for the video I really enjoyed it.
Hallo from chester co. Love the vid .always love that you take us with y'all.yall have I spired me and my beautiful angel to start our own homestead.were looking a a few places in Henderson co.also going to look at a couple of places for a tym . thinking of going with a woodmizer since Nathan brags on on the so much . love how yall give so much info during your video s ..much live drive from chester co.
Richard, It is comments like this that makes it worth while. We have developed a great community on social media. I talk with Nathan almost every day. He has become my RU-vid mentor in a way. Woodmizer makes a great sawmill. I may upgrade at some point. We are getting it done with my little OS23 Frontier. It is a much slower sawmill, but I got into it for just over $2800.
Nice video.Always a good idea to post your mistakes.It helps us all think about things we might not otherwise.Don't pay any attention to the internet know it all folks.If they knew it all,they wouldn't need to watch your videos.Thanks.
Thank you. I show our failures, but there is a group of people that love to be superior on social media. I appreciate your support. That means more than you know.
Measure twice and cut and Fabricate once. Also I would have secured both sides and one gable with collar ties with your Galvanized through bolts keeping everything square as your flying your Trusses. Sucks making a mistake like that one any fabrications on Trusses or Rafters need tobe Engineered Approved now... TIME...Good Luck to ya 😎😱
@@TonysTractorAdventure I'm a Builder from Florida you can't put up a dog house without a permit 😅...sorry to here it's taking a while also no Engineering approval is a big plus for you Man very cool...I have property in SE GA and the Building an Zoning there is layed back...Ironically I'm going to be putting up a pole barn / carport up against my 40 ft. High cube Refrigerator container in a month or so. Wish you luck and can't wait to see your next Video fix. 😎👍🤙
How do you stop them square poles from twisting from sunlight and weather 🤔🤔🤔🤔 everybody tell us we should have used utility round poles to prevent them from twisting
Please don't take this as being mean. It is a pole barn. It is not meant to be perfect, nor could it ever be. So many people try to make pole barns perfectly square and straight. It is just not possible. Even stick-built houses settle and change over time. I think the trick is to get it as good as you can get it and then roll with it. We are going to use board and batten sides. It will cover a multitude of boo-boos. The next time you drive down the road, look at power lines. You will see the utility post twist also.
I can only imagine what you were feeling one of those oh fudge moments they happen sure you will get it fixed it's looking good as always enjoy your videos stay safe and God bless

Also, a word of advice to ANYONE putting up a Pole Barn. Put together and measure the distance of inside to inside of a truss before setting posts. It's like "measure twice, cut once". It doesn't matter who's fault it is, it becomes your problem and look at the rework. The new post holes will be weak because they are so close to the old holes. While you have the trusses on the ground, drill 3 1/2" holes for bolts in the end of each truss. You won't be sorry. That way you can have a little wiggle room when putting in the 3/8" bolts.
I build Pole Barns for a living. Do yourself a favor. DO NOT USE SCREWS to attach your trusses. Use through bolts, AKA Carriage bolts that go all of the way through the post, Screws can pull out and what you are using would never pass engineering. Plus, the screws will be your weakest link in the building. PLEASE use at least 3/8" carriage bolts or hex head bolts with a washer on the wood side of the joint.
@@christopherhaak9824 You missed the whole point. The attachment using screws is only as strong as the particular spot in the wood that you attach to. Through bolts are as strong as the whole thickness of the pole and a washer and a nut. They will not pull out under normal circumstances. There is far more surface contact on a through bolt than a screw. You are welcome to your own opinion and mistakes! I doubt you will find many professional Pole Barn installers that don't use through bolts where they can be used. If you can't access the other side then you do what you have to.
@@williamdebow3478 there are no professional pole barn builders that use carriage bolts. The only through bolts used in Post frame construction are in the post to Perma column connection. There are plenty of Post frame builders who post online, no one uses carriage bolts.
@@TonysTractorAdventure Doesn't take much to fill a garden hose..... but would enable you to equalize the heights of two post..... no matter what the distance in between.... dirt simple process
I apologize. I didn't understand what you were even talking about. I totally understand how the garden hose concept works, but I found my laser level to be completely functional. Fast too.
