I just stumbled on your channel and it took me a few videos to discover that you are in my neck of the woods! Love this size garage. This would make a great little shop. 👍🏼
Can wait to seen to end result. My project is about to get a 20 x 24 for a maintenance car garage with tool chest + carwash bay during winter Keep up the good work
I was in the hospital for 10 days fighting the covid virus and I watched everyone of your videos on my iPad..luckily I had a great doctor and I got to go home..I still have lung issues..long process to get my lungs back..love your videos..thanks
I watched a local carpenter setting trusses. He had a temporary spacer that opened like a folding rule. When it opened, it bit into the truss so it wouldn't slip. he had a few of them. Once he started the sheathing, he just folded them up, no nails needed.
I see lumber prices are creeping up again. Saw 7/16 osb was $28.96 at the big box store yesterday. That’s about 4 dollars more than it was in November.
I was considering asking about how you knew where the studs were located and about 60 seconds later you explained the groove spacing... Weird feeling...
Another great looking garage. Just curious about the cost of the T-111 siding compared to vinyl? I know you were trying to match the house, but overall which is less expensive. What’s the price of lumber doing these days?
What size nails r u using for ur roof sheathing? Love the video, keep them coming. Also do u ever get call backs on any issues that showed up after the build was done? If so what r the most common things u have to fix?
We use 2 inch galvanized ring shank nails on the roof. We don’t really get callbacks the garage construction is pretty straightforward. Thanks for watching
Quick questions! Are these structures earthquake-proof? How do you keep them from sliding off the slab? As I don't see any bolts installed before the slab cures.
Nice work! We're in South Carolina and getting quotes for a two car garage ranging from 79,000 to 52,000. That seems really high. What are your thoughts?
Lots of variables, size and style of garage, earthwork, concrete, permits. Hard to know but things seem a lot more expensive elsewhere than here. A building permit here is generally $25 or even zero. Some towns don’t even require a permit.
Carolyn P ... in your area they have different codes for hurricane weather, which will be a higher cost for roof and wall anchoring. They may also require a full foundation before pouring the slab. Then there's the difference between unfinished and finished inside... electric and plumbing. It all adds up.
I’ve always liked the T-111, but around these parts it always seemed to check and crack after a short period of time. Ever found a way to prevent that checking?

When you’re happy it’s getting warmer....20 degrees. Wow!!! I didn’t notice when your team became a team of 2 and still do phenomenal work.
Thanks yes we’re winding down for the winter
Chad is a BEAST lifting those trusses!
Yes he is
Great for DIY guys! Always interesting to watch construction like freeways where a mind boggling mess becomes a beautiful finished roadway.
Thanks for watching
You all need to take a vacation in Florida! Thank you for another great video. Roger.
Sounds great

Very nice. Thanks for watching
Wow! You are fast on that stapler!!!
Haha yes
It looks like it was cold, but smooth sailing today for Ken and Chad. Great progress on this project!
Thanks. Yes I’m on the garage roof right now. I’ll wave to you.
Having my morning coffee. My "coffee with Ken" hour.
Thanks for watching. I appreciate it
Thank you for sharing how this all comes together. Love to see how you guys work
Thanks for watching
Ken, It must be a relief not having to worry about mosquitoes and sunburn when you are building garages in January.
Yes it is great
Glad I found your channel
Editing is great 😁
Thanks for watching

Keep up the good work
Nice hope the project goes well
Try as I may I doubt I'll ever nail and staple as quickly as you! LOL
Haha. Thanks for watching
I was in the hospital for 10 days fighting the covid virus and I watched everyone of your videos on my iPad..luckily I had a great doctor and I got to go home..I still have lung issues..long process to get my lungs back..love your videos..thanks
Wow sorry. Praying you get full recovery
That's one fast nailer !
Haha yes
I'm really digging your video style. I feel like I can actually learn some things from you.
Nice. Thanks for watching
Nice to se a well oiled machine in operation.
Thanks for watching
Ken, if it gets too cold up there this winter I've got a couple garages to build here in Atlanta!
I watched a local carpenter setting trusses. He had a temporary spacer that opened like a folding rule. When it opened, it bit into the truss so it wouldn't slip. he had a few of them. Once he started the sheathing, he just folded them up, no nails needed.
Hmmm....I see another potential sort of tool purchase in my future.
I like Ken. I wish his business was in North Georgia.
Sorry thanks
Chads going to have a physique like young superman at this rate ha ha!
Yes he’s already there in my opinion
You should try a pneumatic stapler for your felt we switched to one for our tyvek and it saves a ton of time
Cool I’ll look into that
American way!!...... .a good job for a good price!
Thanks
Great garage
Thanks
Never gets old.
Thanks for watching
I see lumber prices are creeping up again. Saw 7/16 osb was $28.96 at the big box store yesterday. That’s about 4 dollars more than it was in November.
Wow
It's really too cold there. Come to Brazil, here it's 40 degrees celsius!
Ouch I think I would melt. Thanks for watching
Ken, how do you secure the wall bottom plate to the concrete, and what size plywood do you use on the roof?
We use wedge anchors to secure it to the concrete. We use 5/8 cdx
I was considering asking about how you knew where the studs were located and about 60 seconds later you explained the groove spacing... Weird feeling...
Haha
I like the idea of pre-staining the T-111. Do you use a finish nail to put it on ?
We use 2” ring shank galvanized nails
Hey Ken,
Another great video, how much time do you think you save with nail gun!
My younger days I would have killed for a nail gun.
Thank you
They say a gun represents one person’s labor
Another great looking garage. Just curious about the cost of the T-111 siding compared to vinyl? I know you were trying to match the house, but overall which is less expensive. What’s the price of lumber doing these days?
The t-111 is more labor and the materials are slightly more
What size nails r u using for ur roof sheathing? Love the video, keep them coming. Also do u ever get call backs on any issues that showed up after the build was done? If so what r the most common things u have to fix?

Ken you can build me a garage in central AL just let me know when you’re ready!
Haha thanks
Any nail jams with your fancy new nailer?
Yes a few times. Knots seem to do it
Do y'all use any plywood clips just wondering looks awesome
I really don’t like them. I’ve never had any problems not using them. Thanks for watching
Does the siding sit on top of the slab, or hang over,.....would you do vinyl siding different....
It hangs over
Great Job
I'm from Iraq and planning to make my own workshop with 5m x 8m , can I get help from you of the roof structure pls ?
We will be showing the roofing part in the next video. Thanks for watching
Should have a 8' roll of roof paper
I fell off my roof doing the same as you are doing it did not turn out well stay safe
Ouch sorry. Hope you’re ok
Quick questions! Are these structures earthquake-proof? How do you keep them from sliding off the slab? As I don't see any bolts installed before the slab cures.
We secure them with wedge anchors. Fortunately we don’t get earthquakes around here.
just watched you put down the roof sheathing and then the roof wrap and wondered if you ever get a bad back. you move like a 20 yr old kid. .
Not when I get home
Did you staple the roofing fabric more than usual because you weren't' roofing it right away?
Yes it was going to be a week

Regular painting or staining
Nice video
Thanks
How do you attach the sill plate to the slab? I have never seen you do it.
We use wedge anchors
the heater you use in the garage ,what type is it ,what temp do you keep it at and is it economical to run.thanks im looking to install one in my shop
It’s modine brand. I set it at 40f so things won’t freeze My shop is 760 ft.² and it warms up in about five minutes and I turn the thermostat up
I was hoping to see the ladder lift! Whar was she?
What size ? Nails do you use for T111
2” galvanized ring shank
👍👍👍
Haven't heard anything about the price of wood in a while. What's up?
Unfortunately woods up
Does the siding bottom edge go past the bottom plate?
Yes about an inch
Ken, are these trusses your own make or store bought.
Store bought
Why does a concrete slab work in freezing ground ?
We make sure the earth is well drained and no clay. No water...no movement
Winter layoff for your #3 man? College?
We are shut down now for the winter
I'd work for free just to be a part of this production.
Haha
🇨🇦
Same price for T1-11 in Warner Robins GA 1/16/21.
Nice. T-111 hasn’t gone up as much as regular plywood
👍👍😎✌️
Where’s your helper? Just you and Chad.
Yes we just finished up the last garage today. Vacation! :)
I'm early.
Can we get some stats on your trailer? Cost, weight, GVW, brakes, lights, etc. Mini tour basically.
Thanks I’ll try
Black? Why?
Sorry poor camera shot. The siding is actually a very nice brown. It should show up better in the next video
The sound of that Dewalt nailer amping up is annoying. Should have got the Milwaukee
Milwaukee doesn’t seem to be available around here
hmmmmmm! me tarzan, him chad, where jane?.....................g
Haha
