I am surprised by how much fun it is to see this "Start to Finish" effort for you and the crew. Nothing like blue sky, green grass, and warm weather in Vermont while it's December again in New England. Thanks so much for sharing all that you do! ✨🎄✨
All those days of work and all you got left is 27:27 minutes and seconds to show for it. But I’m happy to be here to see what happens and how. Thanks again and have a Mary Christmas and Happy New Year. PS: The shiplap added a very special touch.
Beautiful. Finally started losing weight, also just started building our home down here in Louisiana, and gave up the nightly bowl of ice cream...5 lbs so far, feels good from 222 to 217. My goal is 195 which is where the bmi scale puts me for being 6'4". Just had my annual too, Doc says, "you could do without the ice cream."
I remember drilling holes for soffit vents for a "U S Home" condo project back in 1984 like you. They were only 2 inch and 16" oc. I think my arms are still tired 38 years later LOL. Like you i used a sawtooth hole saw. The next soffit and facia crew to show up did it better using an auger bit and did the holes on a bench with the soffit lumber stacked together. They were sloppy though, and the holes were random and instead of friction fit some of them were held in with stainless siding trim coil nails. They didn't even bother to align the "midget louver" vent slots to line up. I think i still have a box of them louvers over in my garage i rent for my Chevelle along with old tools i no longer use. On your Videos Ken it's nice to see us old guys still at it and not afraid to climb!
Wow, that's fast Ken. So this is Joe? Too bad about the concrete truck driver getting stung by the bee. Wow, nice with the shiplap. Sure takes some time with the blocking and the corner braces. That's neat that you can put the gable ends up before the trusses. Beautiful spot for a garage Ken. Nice view. Great job getting the trusses on. Plywood for the roof went on really fast. Same with the roof membrane. Rakes on and shiplap finished. Facia boards and soffit. Trim boards around garage doors. Cutting those soffit vents looks a bit hard to do. Chad did a nice paint job. Metal roof on. Garage doors put in. Wow, the white doors with black building is a real contrast. Nice corner braces and spacer on the trusses Ken. Thanks for showing that. It sure seems to stiffen the building envelope. Thanks for another great video Ken!
I love to see you guys work together! It makes me want to move to America.. I'm from the Netherlands and our buildings style is so different. We use a lot of brick walls instead of wood. I would love to build with lumber like you guys. Amazing job! Love to watch your video's!
I enjoy your videos. I like to see the end to end process. Videos are not too long either so they don’t get long winded I’m up in Canada. Come build me a garage I love your work!
A 45-degree shiplap application for strength on exterior walls. A little more work but the walls were very structurally strong. Nice work all the way through to the finish. Lost one good Skillsaw off a roof that knocked it out of square but great for cutting circles afterward.
Ken the painted shiplap looks nice and in the past (just with making gates) I’ve found that it often dries and shrinks during the summer revealing part of the bare tongues. I guess maybe saving some paint just to brush in those joints would be handy..
I have the truss spacer down the middle on mine, but my inspector had me add a kicker (maybe truss #3 or #4) from the truss spacer to the top of the outside truss on both ends. He said it keeps the trusses from racking to one side or the other in high winds. Also, I like the idea of the angle braces at each end. I'll add those to mine.
Hey Ken, two days in a row I was the first one to hit the subscribe button. So will Sandy Claws bring me anything special this year?? Thanks for your enjoyable and positive channel!
HI Ken from Mr Kimbel Wiese : You are doing a very fine job. Here are a few more thoughts on how 3 young guys built a double car garage and a 2 story house in 2 weeks, 8 hours a day- they used a air nailer ,a model 77 worm drive skilsaw and a chop saw, also a small chainsaw and of course hammer & drills, they used a footing and stemwall for the house but a Monolithic pour for the cement Garage. Materials from the local lumber Yard
Hi Ken why not drill holes in soffit before installing, might be easier on the old back I’ve been a carpenter for 48 years the first 20 in Rhode Island now living in Georgia Love your channel
Shiplap is a much better look. Pricey, but worth it over time. Drilling the overhead soffit holes, yikes! I always use the vent strips. Beautiful stain!
Please forgive me for reading the stupid siding from start to finish 😢you must practice ,patience will come naturally if given a chance I am glad hurricane season is over well sort of rain makes for easier shovelling though. Aw your favourite part putting the wall up is going nicely sorry the rain delayed the blocking hurrah the shiplap made your dream came through? Windy day to be putting the wrap up. The window looks good to me too. Watching a commercial with patience. More stuff going up thanks for the clarification.wow I thought it would be horizontal not vertical 😮😂my heart in my mouth when you play on the top putting the trusses up of course it brings to mind other images thanks for the smile. Another commercial for cars this time oh good you’re back with the plywood glad it wasn’t so windy as it could have been when . Only two hundred dollars worth of nails. Darn I missed hearing a couple of comments note to self don’t leave hearing aids down stairs not watching two ads the billy grahams commercial with anything but……. Rather hear the nail gun and compressor but I maintained my patience 😊glad you had some assistance I an now wondering if the verticals was the shiplap after all I am patiently waiting for clarification. Another commercial car I think hard to tell. Wind that’s not a wind it’s not a gentle breeze another ad some. Truss face rot spacer I will hit the like button thanks for the reminder se you and the commercials in the next video ❤😂❤🎉😊one is installing a kitchen wants me to buy stuff. Glad the doors are going up all finished glad you had fun editing editing all incomprehensible words are due too this expletive deleted tablet and the choices it made . Spelling errors though are mainly my most grievous fault 😮❤🎉❤😮
We like to hang our gable soffits and fascia before we sheet so we don't have to use a ladder...I know it's crazy but we drill our vent holes on the soffit panels while they are on the sawhorse.
shiplap is wonderful but high maintenance though; I would have gone with vinyl shingle siding then all you need is a pressure washer and you're on your way.
Hi Ken, great content, one question Ken, when you put the trusses up I notice that you only nail the bottom cord of the truss to the top plate, in Australia the code calls for triple way metal connectors on every truss where it sits on the top plate with at least 4 high tensile clouts in every face of the connectors. Obviously you don’t need that where you are but I was wondering if any states call for that over there?
Hi Ken. Beautiful work as always. I noticed when you attach the "ladders" for the soffit, they're nailed through the OSB and into the truss structure. Are they attached anywhere else? Thanks.
Question: If you're going to use metal roofing, is it necessary to put plywood or OSB down first? Seems unnecessary to support the metal or is there another reason? I mean, pole barns usually don't do that.
Why did you install trusses that didn't allow for storage at the upper level? Storage is always needed. After you've sheathed and wrapped the roof, how do you mark where to screw in the metal roof?
Hello Ken, how do you like the shiplap siding? I thought shiplap was traditionally installed in a horizontal fashion. I have never seen it put up vertically. What do you think the lifespan of this siding is? I bet the woodpeckers like it!
When you screed, I see no wet pads on the inner side of the slab. How do you know you will end up with a flat slab? Is it because it is only 24 feet so it should be close enough? Just wondering. I learn a lot from your videos. Thanks.
@@kenskarpentry Older carpenter here but new to doing concrete. On a small slab (24') can you "eyeball" flat pretty well or do you have to check with a laser after raking before the screed? Thanks.
Are the windows in the overhead doors at the top for a specific reason? I think I’d like them down one section so I could look outside if I wanted to. Is it for more light or security, or just because? Just curious, nice job, thanks for sharing.
It’s more customer preference. Generally when they’re on top it’s for security. When it’s the next panel down taller people have to bend over shorter people are right on
Probably customer preference and security. As a customer, Is like the look of the windows higher. It's also nice for security because some people like to shine a flaglight into these windows so they can see what you have stored. I plan to cover mine with spare vinyl flooring underlayment which I have and will insulate them and keep prying eyes out.
@kenskarpentry also when the glass is on the 3rd section up and not at the top, people can see what's in your garage. I think I like the glass on the top section for security reasons.
It seems like a miss-use of technology, to build a Garage like a house, using wood. Steel buildings go up quickly, for less money, and don’t have the problems of wood rot and termites. The factory applied paint/finish on steel buildings lasts for decades, hence no maintenance! At the end of life of a steel building, the steel can be recycled.😊
I really enjoy watching your videos. Listening to you is great. Smooth and mellow. Like a fine wine.

Thanks
Needed more paint cover on the facia.
Concrete does take patients indeed
Haha it does
I've never seen you do a shiplap garage before. Looks like it would be a lot of maintenance.
It’s definitely more labor

Hi Ken. Beautiful work as always. I noticed when you attach the "ladders" for the soffit, they're nailed through the OSB and into the truss structure. Are they attached anywhere else? Thanks.
We also mail through the roof plywood into the ladder.
Question: If you're going to use metal roofing, is it necessary to put plywood or OSB down first? Seems unnecessary to support the metal or is there another reason? I mean, pole barns usually don't do that.
Plywood allows the option to change to shingles later if desired. Plywood and roof wrap also helps eliminate condensation.
I write down all your knowledge that you share.
Oh cool. You can remind me later when I forget something
QUESTION: Why were the frieze boards in such short pieces? Love your videos BTW
Hmm not sure
A much classier look.
Why did you install trusses that didn't allow for storage at the upper level? Storage is always needed. After you've sheathed and wrapped the roof, how do you mark where to screw in the metal roof?
That was more than the budget allowed. We marked the roofing every 4 feet up to put our screws in
Probably been asked before but the price you put, that's just the cost of materials right not labor?
Both
Hey Ken, great work! $29,500 is cost to customer? Does that include electric?
Thanks. Cost to the customer. No electric
Just wondering why not put the blocking and bracing in the wall panels while you're pre-fabbing them in the shop?
Good question. Thanks
Good video! Ken, what are those funny blocks you worked around in front & on the side? Air holes? Thanks…Jim
Bracing
@@kenskarpentry I’m talking about those 6x6” or so, just to right & left of garage doors about 6’+ high? Thanks …Jim
Hello Ken, how do you like the shiplap siding? I thought shiplap was traditionally installed in a horizontal fashion. I have never seen it put up vertically. What do you think the lifespan of this siding is? I bet the woodpeckers like it!
Installing this way allows water to shed directly down

Ken, do you think the cement siding lasts longer for ultra hot or cold applications or do you prefer the vinyl?
They say the cement siding is very durable
Are you going to sail the garage?

The factory applied paint/finish on steel buildings lasts for decades, hence no maintenance! At the end of life of a steel building, the steel can be recycled.😊
how did you know length of each board to cut to match the pitch of the gable, before the gable is even on there?
We knew the roof pitch so we added length accordingly
I like the shiplap! What does it add to the cost of the building?
6 to 8 percent
Ken do you use less material when you do vertical T&G or horizontal?
I guess the same
How many working days does this take you and your crew?
Lots of nailing block. That will pay off.
Why are there no exterior footings? Are they not required in your area?
We do an Alaskan floating slab
Do you strictly build garages or build houses, too?
We have a video coming out Friday of a house Timelapse we built last year.
Ken what would be the percentage increase in cost to have a hip roof on a 24 x 24. My house has a hip roof and garage would look odd with out.
Believe it or not I’ve never done a hip roof so I’m not much help. Sorry
@@kenskarpentry I guess I'll have to find a more "Hip Contractor"
Might consider a 24 x 26 so you would have a 2' ridge and not a point on the roof line. Always thought a point looked funny.
Just sayin.
I’ve noticed people framing a 2x under and parallel with the header boards. Why? Do yo you still sandwich ply or osb between the header?
Yes we do
@@kenskarpentry can I ask the purpose of the 2x under the header?
What happened to the big guy!!
This was before he was working
Love this look. Did you use regular siding nails that are exposed?
We used finish nails
Does that includ labour or material only?
Both
Just curious if you do any work in maine?
Sorry we don’t
Who was Joseph? This must have been some time ago.
My nephew. He worked one season
Where’s the big guy?.
This was pre Dan
Once again, we need to move you to Alabama
Haha thanks
29,500 is that labor included? If so what's the price for supplies only?
Yes. Usually around half
@Kens Karpentry thanks for the info. Thinking of doing one myself. Not as nice as yours though.
Hi Ken, how thick are the concrete slabs? Shops vs garages?
6”
is that price including concrete work as well?
Yes it is
How was walls anchored to concrete?
We use wedge anchors
$200 worth of nails, but what size? 10d 16d whats galvanized?
Various sizes and galvanized
@@kenskarpentry you're my favorite channel to watch. Thanks!
Why no sheathing over the 2 x 4 ?
Not necessary
Add 20000 if I build it
Wish I had half your skill, framing is not my thing lol
Bummer thanks
That 2007 price
Thanks
