Sir I love the work you are doing. I got property upstate NY and will build my own barn in the near future God willing. My question is did you buy the lift or is it rented? I’m looking to built about your sizes structure and would appreciate your input about what’s the best way for savings on the overall cost of the build. Thank you. Nelson from Long Island NY
We do own the lift and will most likely keep it after the building is finished for maintenance. Do as much as possible yourself and hire the best skilled people for electrical, plumbing and hvac. Thanks for the question. We’ll look forward to hearing when you get started!
We had 2x6 walls and trusses 2” wide so sandwiched with 2x2’s then Teks self tapper up though plate into truss. I suffered a lot of indecision and hind sight with framing around those trusses. I didn’t care for the ways I saw others doing it. Not in love with the way we did it either. My advice is don’t center walls on trusses. Also keep walls 3’ minimum away from trusses for easier drywall/ painting whatever. Up coming videos will show that in better detail.

How do you fasten the top plate to the steel?
