Looking forward to living in my dream house! Thank you, Ryan's, for not only the initial support with your special but ongoing support through my build!
A tip from a boy scout. In building several outdoor shelters,, think roof, trusses, shingles supported by 6X6s,,, Not unlike your structure at all. I just build them with no walls. Ya wanna make them extremely stable? Spread the legs. If the exact truss length is 24',, and the exact building top plate length is 50 feet Then position the base of your 6X6 columns each one or two inches wider in both length and width. An inch in increase will have the column bases exactly 24'2" X 50' 2" A two inch out of plumb will increase the spread of the bottom to 24' 4" X 50' 4" The increase in stability in a wind is startling. A one inch out of plumb is undetectable. A two inch out of plumb can only be seen by a well trained eye in a 9 or 10 foot to top of plate tall structure.
Hat's off to Howard, Larry, and Richard again, tell 'em Ron says, "Hi." They're handier than a 2-pocket shirt. That was an incredible video. Thanks so much for creating it. Hope your finger heals quickly.
It looks great!! Back in 2014 my husband was building a Gazebo in my back yard. Our daughter wanted to be married under it. In the middle of it all he had to have surgery on his left thumb joint to stabilize the joint thanks to R.A. The next day he was back to building that gazebo, hand in cast and all. You remind me of him. He always built anything needed around here, was willing to do anything for our friends. Just rarely asked for help. Don't do that please, ask for it when you need it.
Really enjoyed the video. Sure was good to see Howard again and nice to meet Larry and Richard. Looks like Howard knew what this job was going to entail so he brought reinforcements. He figured he was going to need all the help he could get to keep you in line 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣. Stay safe, GOD BLESS and see ya on the next one.
Some information.
So you rented a machine to lift those trusses up but its battery wasn't charged? Don't rent from those folks again; they are not TRUSSworthy.
No footings!?!? No concrete around the poles!?!?!? I’ll take wood trusses over steel ones any day.
No dioagnal bracing before fitting the roof iron is discrasfull.
thats a 1.5 day job ,you are making it out to be more than it is because you are scared of heights ,not to mention your ridge was not strait
Can I get a link to the manufacturer
Neighbors helping neighbors. Good way to build community.
How much did trusses cost a piece
6X6 or 8X8s?
When you are pulling the sheets of steel up onto the roof, clamp a pair of vise grips to the end. That gives you a good grip and is safer.
Good ol' big box lumber. Almost as twisted as our politicians.
"If there's anything I can 'say' to help..." 😅😅🤣 I'm stealing that one!
"If there's anything I can say to help, just let me know." gold, love it
