I've watch many of your videos and enjoy watching and learning. I can appreciate what it has taken for you reach the caliber of skilled craftsman that you are. Thanks for sharing. I also really like your gambrel style buildings because they appeal to my personal taste. Stay safe and God bless.
Good day Ken thank you very much for your time. Great job brother you do exceptional work. Wonderful job explaining the work to be done. Its wonderful seeing a great dad and his kids take care Ken
Nice to see homemade trusses. 25 years ago I made 11 trusses for my 16' x 20' garage/ workshop for $81.00 and to order them would have cost over $400.00.
WOW! Look at the view ❤❤❤ it! Been watching some of your video amazing to watch muscle works makes me tired though. Thanks for your vlog- beautiful finish as always.
Доброго времени суток Дока! Я не знаю языка , просматривая твои видео всё понимаю!!! Что ,да ,как. Дока - это человек который знает ,как товорить добро и делиться с людьми!
Good work ! If you extend upstair floor joist about 12" each side of the bottom wall that's will give you the overhang for the soffite , then the second storie wall will seat right on top of the lower wall ...
Thanks. That could work. The I joists would need squash blocks on top of the exterior walls or else over time they would collapse. Definitely a workable situation.
Love this Garage Sir Ken. Wondering what size are your rafters on the side. Heard you say they are 2x8's. That right and what are the angle cuts on the bottom and top of that board for those awesome rafters. Thanks sir.
I bought my trusses at a place that custom make them they where 44 ft long , they use some nice wood for making them . Had a neighbor with a boom truck we set them all in one day so much quicker than stick building and actually a lot stronger.
Just ran across this channel, good video, and excellent framing skills, gotta love those makita saws they last forever and have great balance, keep up the good work, nice to see another good carpenter doing things right.
Hi Ken, I've just discovered your videos and I love them...... No BS, no endless talking about "me, me, me" like so many other YT channels. Just good, honest hard work by a fella who clearly enjoys his work and that same man selflessly sharing priceless information that take a lifetime to learn. I have little question - I'm (hopefully) starting a job some that will involve me running a small cabin build. It'll be a maximum of 258sq feet (24sq meters here in the EU) downstairs floor space (I think it's some planning dodge). It'll roughly 13' x 19' (4m x 6m) interior dimensions. I'm thinking of doing a gambrel roof design. I'm just wondering what sort pitch you run for your gambrel roof designs? Is it overly critical structurally what sort of pitch is run or is it mostly aesthetics? Thanks Ken and keep up the good work. Also what sort camera do you use?
How many cars deep is this garage I would like to build some like this and have it 3 cars Wide And 2 and a 1/2 cars deep with the Top the way it is so I can put like a pool table and stuff up there and have some storage very nice garage
Ken just a question for you. On gambrel roofs how much do you lose on each side of the garage before your knee wall starts. Just trying to figure out how much "usable area" there is. Thanks in advance
hello I'm halan I follow you like your services that you post on TH-cam I am Brazilian and I currently live in Brazil and I try to understand everything that fans
I built steal rafters screw together had a jig engineered they were big they needed a crane to put them up it was huge you could put two apartments in the space on top it had 3 or 4 two car doors brick front steal siding a pallet almost 2 of sollar pannels on the back side geothermal heat you could fit 12 cars and an office on the end bay with side entry door and window.the out side wall was the thicker steal studs and a ft or so it had another steal stud wall next to the outer wall thinner studs like comerical.fiberbord yellow on the out side screwed to the steel hat channel under the board.house rap.the roof had a breathable membrane nothing flammable.o point building.it was very energy eficient.two block drive way .steal siding and roof.and the house built the same way one story for the house.ceater lake in.had to be a million dollar realestate when done.seven to ten acers.with lake access.the solar pannels were 300 watts each .a lot of them.im glad they had that crane semi to put tbe rafters up they were big and heavy .it was nice to have built soming that nice and different.
How do you get away with building your own trusses? Don’t you have to provide some documentation to the local code enforcement for snow loads? Engineer stamp? As a builder myself I can see that your trusses are every bit as good and strong as a manufacturers truss but most towns want an engineered plan for them
Wife gets mad because he spent so much time building this she kicks him out the house now he sleeps in the garage wife jealous of husband and no garage he built says he'll be like here's a bunch of self not to go hurt also she wants to see about picking her up something at Wendy's
Good to see you working with your son and daughter. I like that you include your daughter.
She’s a good worker

Извините, я не знаю, как поставить подписи на русском языке. Спасибо, что смотрели.
Beautiful work sir. Very inspiring video as I am contemplating my own similar build. Thanks for sharing.
How could you not love that view.....nice video.
Thanks. It is beautiful and quiet.
Assembly line cutting of truss pieces love it especially with the template for them!!!!
Thanks
Brother you are gentle man ; god bless u and ur family
Thanks and same to you and yours!

My name is Paulo and I am from Brazil,São Paulo City,and I liked very much!!! Congratulations!😊👏🇧🇷
Thank you very much!
What a Team! What a great job.
Thanks
Fantastic. Everyone should have one of these.
Thanks
6:05 That is a genius trick for placing your first truss.
Thanks. It really helped to stabilize everything.
Learning a lot from you. Thanks!
Thanks for watching
Love this Garage Sir Ken. Wondering what size are your rafters on the side. Heard you say they are 2x8's. That right and what are the angle cuts on the bottom and top of that board for those awesome rafters. Thanks sir.
Clever truss pivoting.
Thanks. I think it's the first time we've done it that way. It did work really well.
Ugh... I would like to see how you made and attached those flair outs
Your trusses are better made than what a shop knocks out.
Surprised you don't use any scaffolding. I guess ladders are faster.
I feel ladders are quicker for us
Guys you are doing amazing job!!! Quick question is it reliable or suitable for mountain house, where temperature can fall up to - 15 degree
I would think so. We get those temperatures during the winter
Amazing and entertaining job!
👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks
Your work is amazing
Thanks
I bought my trusses at a place that custom make them they where 44 ft long , they use some nice wood for making them . Had a neighbor with a boom truck we set them all in one day so much quicker than stick building and actually a lot stronger.
Nice! I buy 90 per cent of mine premade. These were small trusses so it was quicker and easier to just build them.
What a great video. 470k views, but only 3.3k likes. What's up with that
Y'all make it look easy but I know different. Good video !
Ah the sound of experience. You know it.

We typically do a 22.5 degree upper roof and 67.5 degree steep roof. I use iPhone 6 phones for my camera. Thanks for watching
@@kenskarpentry Thanks very much Ken
What are rafters nailing into below floor? Thks
Fantastic job.😎🏖
Thanks
Could you have done rafters in stead of trustees on the Gabriel style roof sir?
I love your work sir
Thanks for watching
would u recommend cutting angle on top chord or bottom cord? where they meet
I usually just cut the top
Great video, Ken! Congrats on surpassing 11,000 subscribers!
Hey thanks. It's great working with you on some real estate stuff. You guys are hard workers!
How many cars deep is this garage I would like to build some like this and have it 3 cars Wide And 2 and a 1/2 cars deep with the Top the way it is so I can put like a pool table and stuff up there and have some storage very nice garage
This one is really designed for just 2 cars with storage for lawnmover, snowblower, etc.
Beside the 6week delay in pre-made truss... Is it cheaper making your own, you did say its stronger?
It’s a little cheaper but I will only build the small ones like 16’
Hi Ken, Do you have to have your truss's inspected once you are done? Thanks,
No inspections around here. Lots of towns don’t even require a permit
Ken just a question for you. On gambrel roofs how much do you lose on each side of the garage before your knee wall starts. Just trying to figure out how much "usable area" there is. Thanks in advance
4’ on each side
@@kenskarpentry Thank you very much Sir
You boys do nice work..
Thanks for watching
Do you have any plans for this gambrel building?
Great video!
How long was ur first board up
I don't know how I got here but I like what you're doing! Hello to you from Moscow and good luck in your business guys:)
Wow! Welcome. Thanks for watching
Really appreciate this video. What were the dimensions on this garage?
26’x26’
Ken, were the trusses engineered or did an engineer sign off on your truss construction?
For trusses plywood glue and staples
you are my new favorite channel
Thanks I appreciate it
Hi there nice work are you building house on top of the garage that’s what’s happening
Just wondering where you are working from? Canada or USA
Vermont USA
hello I'm halan I follow you like your services that you post on TH-cam I am Brazilian and I currently live in Brazil and I try to understand everything that fans
Thanks
I like how you did this
Thanks for watching!
Great job 👍
Thanks.
Merci de partager 👌
Thanks!
YOU SHOW ME THE WAY TO BUILD THIS GARAGE AND APARMANT ON TOP OF IT, IS REAL GOOD TO BUILD THIS THANKS.
Thanks for watching!
Is those 2×8 rafters
Looking good Ken!
Thank you very much!
Good job
Thanks
Are those trusses spanning about 14 feet or so? Great video Ken
They are 16, long
Are the thrushes cheaper to make than pre-order? I want an apartment garage for rental investment in the future.
Most of the time we order them. Sometimes scheduling doesn't allow waiting for the store bought.
Great job Ken,i remembre my olds days in NJ' .saludos desde México
Thanks for watching.
Did you not have a lateral brace on those trusses as you installed them?
Usually we do but because these trusses are only 18' long just nailing into the plate and top of the rafter they were really stable.
what pitch are upper trusses. thanks
5/12
hi ! can this type of roofing be suitable for areas with snow and moderate wind ? Thanks.
Thanks for watching. Yes definitely
👍buen trabajo
Thank you!
you do a great job of great quality I work in building houses too
Thank you very much. I hope you have plenty of work.

how tall are knee walls? thks
8’
Are those on 16” or 24” centers?
16”
Nice job! That is an incredible view, any chance of getting the wires relocated?
Right. That and my trailer is the only thing blocking the view.
How much did it cost for this job
Around $35,000 for the shell
Nice house
Hey! It would work as a house.
very nice thank you
Thanks!
OR make it actually 2 story and put a normal roof on it. It's nearly the same amount of framing and material.
Where are you Located Would love for you to build something for me
Northeastern Vermont!
Hey Ken how far in is the 2x4 wall from the edge of the building and what angle or degree are your raftors
The wall is 4’ in and the rafters are about 25 degrees

As a builder myself I can see that your trusses are every bit as good and strong as a manufacturers truss but most towns want an engineered plan for them
Not required here. I do make sure it’s right because I don’t want an insurance claim.
everything will go good since the princess is there to guide yall. hello everyone..........g
Haha! True

Thanks

Old builders vs young. Old wears no gloves.
Haha
