- We start Building posts on the Biggest Building We've ever built. I always see we are building posts, but in reality we take pre made and engineered posts and then modify them to fit our exact needs. Making the biggest building posts takes some time, but it sets us up for success if we do it right!

It’s the work we all hate the most but it’s what is the most important. The repeating, the simple, the boring work. The quality control
Agreed, however it's never boring if you love what you do!!
@@taylorkim9049 naa, anything you do for long becomes boring. That's not to say you hate it, but it's not fun anymore. Applies to everything if you do long enough. Which is fine but still factual.
@@aberba, I would argue Taylor found what he enjoys and loves and the repetitive and enjoyable and relaxing. Similar to how some people can just watch TV all day, it is enjoyable and relaxing to them.
@@aberba How old are you and how motivated? You couldn't be more wrong. One day I may work on building a fireplace and a few days later I may be jacking up a house tearing the crumbling foundation out from under it and rebuilding one then lowering the house back down. Another day I may be in a basket hanging from a crane a hundred feet in the air replacing stones from a lightning strike another day or month I may be building a block warehouse bigger than a Walmart. What I did was create. The materials I used were superior to the pyramids, not that someone won't tear it down but I could see and touch what I did everyday. It never got old and I hate monotony.
Mate it’s mammoth that building is going to be awesome great work I’ll be taking the journey with you.
I was so glad to hear you make the comparison between what you do and office work. I grew up in the masonry business and I was one of my dads Hod Carriers when I could work before I was 10 years old. I was playing in the sand pile with my "Metal" Tonkas when I was 5. I started laying brick in my mid teens until I was 19.
I fell asleep one morning driving to the job, veered over and drove off an overpass after flattening 26' of guardrail and blowing through a concrete box that housed all the streetlight controls down on the road I landed on 40' below. I broke my back at T 10-11, so I still had all my abdominal muscles and given the physical shape I was in save my life and made my rehabilitation easier for me. Other than wanting to be dead.
I went to college like the professionals told me to do. I went to school for business and went to work for a fortune 500 company with an office and all that. I would find myself staring out the window daydreaming about being outside using my hands to build.
My older brother was a rough in framer and up until the day he died he did nothing but bitch about "the suits and ties" in their air conditioned offices and how easy they had it. I wanted to strangle him and tell him how wrong he was, but I didn't.
I am 58 and retired, nice pension and on and on, but I can verify after all those years in white collar America were like a prison for me. If I had to do it over again I would not even consider going to school. I would have stayed in the business and drove a truck delivering equipment and materials and did the bidding.
In fact about 6 months after retiring I was going so crazy I got a part time job at Home Depot as a Millwork Specialist designing doors and windows and although the money isn't what laying brick or being an analyst in a big company didn't pay near as good, I was happy for 5 years just being close to "it".
I have a shop and I tinker mechanically keeping my ZTR and little tractor in shape and do some metal Fabing and wood working I also maintain my house and property. Where there is a will...
You keep driving nails as long as you can!
Future tip, strap a weighted bag on the bottom of your tripod laser so you won’t get any wind interference. I learned this trick from shooting long exposure photography.
3 bags on each leg or one on the bottom of the laser?
thanks
@@aragustin there’s usually a hook under the laser that you can attach a bag or something on. But you let the weighted bag hang from there so it pulls your setup into the ground. Does that make sense?
@@Tier1sprky t
yeah, thats what first came to my mind but then the strapped part made me wonder otherwise.
thank you very much for your reply, its worth gold
@@aragustin absolutely. Sometimes other trade tricks can help out other aspects in your line of work 🤙🏼
One of those tips I would never think of, but is completely obvious now that I know!
Thanks for these videos! Awesome work. I am finishing up a 24x48 and have referenced them many times for the details. To the people that say " it's just a pole barn" you are wrong. It is someone's investment. It is also someones trade to build it. Take some pride and do the job correctly, not cut corners. You will never hear me say "it's good enough".
But, you can say "its good enough for the girls I run with" 😂
The amount of thought and planning that you put in is incredible. It’s why you build such “clean” structures. Nothing is ever too far out of line. Looks like Cole is a budding framer and RR has a bright future. Awesome.
Nice to see your son learning the business, and it is time he will cherish later in life as much as you cherish it now.
Best construction and explanation videos I have ever seen. Just setting up the video equipment shots and the editing is a big job. This is a huge job and I can really appreciate your skill and attention to detail to make everything as exact as possible!!! Most of all your explanations of how to’s and why’s are extraordinary!!! I absolutely can’t stop watching your videos.
Starting at 27:11 into the video where your talking about physically working verses sitting on your assets in an office cubical that keeps you fit and healthy looking is very true and that's one of the biggest reasons why I chose to be a carpenter. Man, I love your content!
Straight as an arrow for 304 ft. Amazing work boys! Love these videos.
Getting your boy on the job is a great idea. Real experience and hands on training will benefit him in what ever career his chooses
That thing is massive! Can't wait to see how everything turns out!
What you guys are doing is so awesome I can’t believe how big the building is. What’s your showing is really amazing and I appreciate all the detail and the hard work you guys are doing.
Thank you guys for showing us how a true professional executes a project.
Wow, a Simone and Garfunkel reference. Kyle rocking out old school!
Its always good to see the team.
Plus being able to work with your son is a good thing. Keep up the good work fellows.
Wow, so impressive. Can’t wait to see walls stood up.
This was a fun video to watch. Having all three (Kyle, Greg & Cole) on the job really illustrated how big a job this is. I love the interaction and dialog between you guys. Thanks Kyle.
your the man dude i’m just a barn builder from austin tx that loves the work yall do
Can't wait to see them set the trusses, and the 4,876 roof panels!
Thank you for taking the time to train Cole, he is our future.
He's in college for cosmetology.
Good afternoon Great week 👍🤟✌️🙏🙏🙏
Wow what a wall cannot wait to see the next one🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Guessing they're gonna get some job site radios before the end of this project. That wind must be a hassle.
A “Construction caddy”, brilliant!
This looks like its going to be crazy! excited to watch the series
Sharpie , very important tool let me tell you. When the tip starts to get worn, take your utility knife and scrape on it to freshen it up
You can also dip the tip into a bottle of ink.
@@kevinhornbuckle nice. I will have to go buy some ink and keep it in my tool box
Thanks for these videos Kyle
Was just thinking that
I never tire of watching your videos, with each video I learn more and more from you, I wish I had the quality of wood and tools that you have there to be able to do this type of work here in Brazil, if God allows us one day we will arrive at this level. Keep it up, it's great to see you working so magnificently, hugs.
Just awesome!
Loving the long, long look of everything ready to stand up the walls! Good job Cole!
Wow, that is friggin huge. Stay safe please. Nice job by the way !
Great job!!!
Enjoying the series!!!
Your patron sure loves you. I can't imagine building like this commercially.
You guys are machines 💪🏻💪🏻
That's a lot of wall! 😃👍🏼👊🏼 .... I think we need to send you guys down to the border.
Just waiting for next 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
That is a BIG building! RR is definitely the crew for that one. I'm excited to see that wall get raised!
Nice Circular Saw!!!
I was thinking as i sat down that i thought i missed an RR video this weekend. Opened CZcams and it was the first one i saw! The task may be repetitive but the result is outstanding as usual, there is no doubt as to why this customer chose you to build this building after you had already built them one.
Been watching since the Diresta Barn. Gained a lot of knowledge from this channel. Thank you
It’s got the a real love/hate to frame something this sized but so satisfying. Awesome job guys!
Great video!
Had one of them Metabo saws here in the UK for a few months now, it’s my daily saw I love it🤘
Thanks for the videos, love it
you bet
27:33 I wholeheartedly agree! Keeps ya young!
Insane, thank you very much.
I'm always looking at how many nails at what distance on what sized board. The information displayed is endless. My DIY structures are oh so much better after copying ur steps, heheh.
thank you again from the country side of Chile
Great video
Nice work love the video
Thanks for the videos Kyle
thanks for watching them. as long as people watch I will make them
Finally, part 3!!!
Very good content
I need to know more about that saw!!!! PLEASE
Cole's alpaca poof in the wind of the nail gun 😆
I had to take a nap because you guys made me tired...LOL That was a lot of wall and like you said it's only one of three plus the ends. Great work you guys and I hope it wasn't humid there. Looks like you are getting those dark clouds. On to the next wall and my next nap.
I built mine with Tri lams from Menards. Might not hit your price point but they worked just like your old ones with the center section loose for custom cutting. Anything over a certain length comes with metal laminated in it.
Thank you for explaining how the concrete is finished. I couldn’t get my head around how the slab was poured in relation to the piers.
It's always a great video when Cole shows up a smart obviously doesn't mind working guy. How long from spreading gurts and nailing didn't seem very long one day thanks for sharing Kyle always look forward to your videos Greg is the man as always
Yes sir guys she's a long wall ,Well done guys
You guys are awsome.Love the instruction and product knowledge.Trying to incorporate post frame in a build myself .Maybe you could use some laborers to save your backs!Keep up the great content
Cole saying Thanks dude 😂 not thanks dad lol 😆
Not a fan of the thumbnail but thanks for the video. I normally wouldn't click a thumbnail like this but I've already been watching this series.
Amazing
Glad to see you making time to work with your son.
Now that's a long wall!!!
Kyle, I assure you, I am all tuckered out just watching you do that! The lift will be interesting, I'm sure as well! Good to see Cole on and at it; I'd be pretty sure his coach will really appreciate it as well- post framing is a great workout routine even when you don't think about it! A suggestion for Cole; get either a protective goggle with a head or more likely some wrap around sunshades that fit close to your face- it will really reduce the gust problem around those nail guns. What ever thought that this might be the one that Kyle couldn't land and cook, look again; the whale is many bites less than when he was landed! Gregg, just keep Gregging along and keep Kyle his humble and his greatness in line- we all appreciate that. Lastly, Kyle, you told me more about how to judge lumber for it's fitness to purpose than this plumber ever knew- continue the lecture, sir! Also, a few of these a year and that fancy lift a ma jig you had for your new shop might become affordable!
looking good getting your work out on this one ... and its Awesome your documenting it......I wish we had this kind of technology when I built but SuperH VHS was expensive and not very goo quality ..lol I would have love to have documented some of my builds ..... ..keep up the Great work you and Crew ..
I wish I could come work for you and Greg I've been building red iron building's and patio tops since I was 16 and I love it
good one
Awesome
Cant wait to see how a 100' truss goes up!
Is that the little dude from the farm house remodel video? Man time flies, can't believe it's been seven years since the Diresta video series when I started watching.
Precision really matters on a building this large. Even a 1/32' off either direction on length of a girt will really magnify and cause a problem that will be visible in the finished building.
I think you are a very talented tradesman! I have a suggestion- you often talk wall to wall thru your videos, try using the camera to show what you are talking about, give the viewer a moment to digest your thoughts. Also it never hurts to be repetitive with a drawing, a visual etc. keep up the great work!
Bora pra cima
Estou acompanhando aki do Brasil
I’m 67 and just finished jacking up 16’ walls. You rest, you rust! Oh and wear ear protection particularly with that gun work.
beuatiful new video
Magically, Cole turns into Greg! 😮
Was looking at another vid and your notification popped-up. Jumped to yours!
you are awesome
Hello, you are amazing, I really like your videos
That's Cole? I haven't seen him in videos lately (I've missed a few), and I can't believe it! He's a young man! Growing up way too fast.
Happy to see him out there working with you and getting great, hands-on experience. It'll be wonderful memories shared by you both.
Yes they are!
27:20 - That's no joke, I feel better and less pain after a day of intense physical labor on our house renovation (tearing off the exterior and resheathing) than when I spend a day in the office.
You can use sun screen spray to take off sharpie marks, you probably have that with you on a job. Good to know!
tired? I'm good lets get it lets go stand these walls up
Hey pops, thanks for always sharing your journey. What kind of shoes you guys rockin?
Happy trails guys!!
Best
Taylor
Great job guys, that’s a lot of nails right there
Father and son getting it done.
Just a thought to speed up the column layout. Number each sonotube/bracket then when you get elevation from laser relative to zero record each as you go….in you phone or whatever. Eliminates the going back to each one and yelling which location is what elevation.
More calf envy for Greg!
32:40 that shot looks like you're building a boardwalk.
Cole be catching all kinds of pneumatic action with his hair
Can't wait for part 4. How are you going to raise that wall???
Maybe this kind of work let you look young, but in the evening you'll feel older than the guy from the office...
😉
What a heck of work, and this was just the first third...roughly...
👍👍👍
@ 3:18, Dad jokes, my dad always did me the same way.
2x4 wall girts are better than 2x6 because of cupping issues. 2x6 added strength not needed in 8ft Bay, adds minimal diaphragm structure. Also, set columns individually with forklift, put all girts on a lift and nail on top first and work your way down. So much less humping heavy columns and all your girts stacked next to you. 3x faster easier, with better results
No way man… I respectfully disagree. Done it both way and will never put a post in the ground one at a time again or build my walls up in the air
@jonfehr5950 How do you set your heights for your girts? Also curious how if you start nailing girts from top down, how do you get poles level towards bottom?
Neat
How in the Jeff are you going to stand that wall up in one
Go!!!
*Summary*
*1. Measuring and Marking:*
* *(**0:42**)* Kyle measures and marks each bracket's elevation with a laser level. This is crucial for accurate column placement and ensures the finished floor sits correctly on the piers.
* *(**7:36**)* He uses a story pole as a reference point to transfer these measurements onto each column, adding or subtracting fractions of an inch for precise adjustments.
*2. Building Columns:*
* *(**14:03**)* The building uses two types of columns: 18ft for sidewalls and 22ft for the center wall due to a raised bottom cord truss design.
* *(**14:50**)* Kyle explains the importance of column placement and how concrete should float on the pier, not lock into it.
* *(**15:20**)* He emphasizes the significance of accurate marking, as errors at this stage can compound throughout the project.
*3. Preparing and Laying Out Girts:*
* *(**20:36**)* Kyle demonstrates how to choose and orient lumber for girts, paying attention to the wood grain and potential cupping to achieve a flat surface for metal siding.
* *(**23:27**)* He stresses the importance of cutting girts slightly long to account for imperfections and ensure a tight fit.
* *(**25:50**)* The team lays out and aligns the girts, ensuring proper spacing and a square wall structure.
*4. Building the First Wall:*
* *(**28:24**)* They start assembling the first wall section, using a jumbo nailer for efficient fastening.
* *(**30:49**)* Kyle explains why they leave a gap in the nailing pattern for the truss connection to ensure a tight fit and prevent spreading.
* *(**31:53**)* The scale of the project is evident, with one wall requiring more linear footage of material than a previous entire building.
*5. Next Steps:*
* *(**32:19**)* The video concludes with the first wall section complete and the promise of the next video covering the wall raising process using two machines.
i used gemini 1.5 pro to summarize the transcript
Bro go away nobody gives a fu*k
Damn, I'd be so tired at the end of the day I wouldn't even care about eating xD I'd just go straight to bed
LESS GOOOOO
YES
