With Ryan's th-cam.com/users/postUgkxy_pn55PK60wAV3X_C_RoLS_67mNonoCE plan, I was like one taken by the hand and led step by step from start to finish. Thank you very much Ryan!
Holy Crap..Thank you for your vision of excellence and your sharing.You have brought TH-cam to a whole new standard.Very thankful for another TH-camr mentioned your content.
Thank you for posting this. We are looking at bare land (just because you can't really get a beautiful chunk of land *and* a great house in an affordable set) and have been terrified of the approach to a raw piece of land. There is a beautiful parcel and the county is very friendly towards low-impact housing going into the area, and simpler, stick-ish type buildings are really the best - I have some designs that specify universal rainwater collection as well as pre-plumbed for solar (I do not yet have an established company, we need to move first). I use the designs of the fish and wildlife department cabins and facilities as examples. Nice, pretty but straightforward, super feature loaded and well built, and designed to fit into the local ecosystem with minimal disruption. We've already had some poor luck with real estate "professionals" and are now overlong in the place we are right now, and once we can get stakes pulled up here we'd like to be on to our new, debt-free, semi-retired lives. My "career" over the past 20+ years has been building labs and shops for engineering work (I specify vendors for fabrication/electrical/plumbing/seismic/fire, et al - the *inside* of a structure). Once we have no mortgage, all the money I earn is ours and while I have become disabled I still have recruiters trying to get to me so I know that I am useful and valuable. We'll transition - I just want a nice place to live and if we can wrangle the project ourselves it's kind of dumb not to be selfish about the features we want in designing them in, up to and including access to three phase power, wastewater/hazmat capabilities, possibly even a wet bench, so venting and particular materials and controls are necessary. :-) Thanks again for sharing. Every time I see someone has just went and shown everyone that it's not a big deal, use proper tools, get the right help, and it mostly drops by the numbers - that's pro af and more people should demonstrate such if they're going to role model for the internet.
That’s awesome man I promise you it’s totally achievable. I am nothing special. I just always try my hardest to do my best regardless of the circumstances.
after having worked in residential and commercial (mostly wood) building design as a structural engineer for 9 months, I find myself watching a lot of these videos. It really does help me understand what contractors like to do and what they don't. That in turn helps me make the decisions I make to give the contractor the best solution I can. Subbed and Belled
I find it really neat how you explain why something is different than usual (the 2x8 in the trusses), but then you show why you did something once the truss was in place. The site is coming along great, and like you mentioned in the first video with comparing post-framing to "standard" house construction, you can see from the drone footage what the differences are between your site and the neighboring one in the construction proceeses. Thank you for sharing!
So much perfection in your work, I like it, you won’t find it a lot these days and it comes from your way of dealing with people, with honesty. I adore your work . Bravo
I think your best quality as a workman is how you anticipate project challenges and address them early. It’s very impressive. Hold your head high, you’re doing great work.
These buildings start out quickly, the details take a bit longer. I joked when I had mine put up that it would be done next week. About 5 weeks later it was done.
Just amazed by that attachment on the skidster, never seen one of those till I watched your videos. What a clever solution and money saver vs bringing in a truck crane!
Love all of the details. They add to up to an incredible structure that goes way above and beyond a typical "pole barn". I just wish I had enough land in my suburbia realm to have you build one.
Excellent video! That tandem transition truss is interesting! I couldn't get my head around what you were saying when it was on the ground but then completely understood it once you flew it into place.
Nice work, nice videos, nice channel. Catching up on all your previous videos. One thing to add from when you were talking about what you carry in your bags, i do different stuff, traditional joinery type large timbers framing and mostly use snickers pockets, but i keep a hard bristled brush like a vegetable brush with me to clean any dirt, sand, ice or snow from any piece of wood before marking, cutting or planing
You should see if you can do a tour with your truss manufacturer. That way you can show a true to start to finish of the complete process. Maybe even show the design stage.
I was thinking the same thing. But would add how you go about ordering the trusses...especially with the added nailers like you mentioned with the laminated one
REALLY diggin the Mavic drone footage... I'm a little late to the game, but that's one of the MANY reasons I keep watching your videos - awesome shots of the great work you guys do! :D
Nice part 2. The guy accross the road must be on the zoning board his barn looks much bigger than the one you are putting up. Fantastic video footage and appreciate the professional detailed narration. I just recently started watching. Subscribed, and hooked now😊 Thanks.
I suspect neighbor is sweating bullets since he built his bigger than the subdivision's covenants, conditions and restrictions (CC&Rs) permit. Under the law of most states (I'm not licensed to practice law in Illinois) even if he was totally unaware of the limitations, if CC&Rs were properly recorded on the public record, his property is subject to them, and he's deemed in law to have actual or constructive knowledge of those limitations. I've seen plenty of cases where owners are required to demolish or modify (at great expense) non-complying structures. Even if the board of directors does not take action, a lot of CC&Rs allow ANY homeowner in the subdivision to bring a civil action to enforce compliance. Moral -- beware of homeowner associations (and the CC&R's under which the operate). HOAs tend to become the domain of would-be petty tyrants who will, if allowed, dictate as many aspects of the use and enjoyment of your property as they can get away with.
Dave D I think it was in part one where he replied to a comment saying the realtor didn’t give the neighbor the paperwork stating the rules on building for that area and he wasn’t aware until after it was built. They are now trying to figure out what to do
yet another great video always get impressed with how great and fast you guys work and thats great how you still make time to explain everything you do would you ever have another live show like your shop show
I think I’d post frame was allowed in the subdivision he might have lol. Who knows but that’s okay... I like to specialize when I can and thankfully I haven’t had to do anything else in the last few years
@@RRBuildings You are truly inspiring, and I know that structural screws are strong, but I always prefer to have beams carrying beams, wood on wood and not rely on fasteners and nails to carry load.
~12:31 - - On end wall trusses, what is supporting it? Just the nails in the post/extenders since it appears to be inline with your girts? Do you block down on the corners to grade? I am new to post frame. I have 3 structures needed on my property and your videos are probably going to make it a reality over conventional framing, THANKS!
For the soft/muddy job sites, and trying to get your scissor lifts in - have you looked at slat trax or similar products? I don't know the cost, but it _might_ be worth looking into.
One thing that has caught my attention in all of your builds is the lack of bearing for the headers. All the roof weight is bearing on those 20 penny ring shank nails only ,and maybe a few metal siding screws. Do these building have to be inspected ,and if so how do they pass? For example, that house being built on the same lot has to have 2 jack studs per opening,and 4 for openings 6 foot wide or more following the load path to the foundation,which in your case would be the post pier. Just curious. And the drone footage is great. Thanks for the video.
Man that looks so cold out there. In NZ we're in shorts and t-shirts and having BBQ's. We get snow here once every 20 or 30 years. Love watching your video's. Peter O
Great Video. Curious about the roof decision by the client. Normally the large doors are on the sides with the gable ends due to snow and water shed. Must have a been a economic or cosmetic reason? I really like the attention to detail, you don't see that in a lot of framing.
03:29 LOL Building dance on the beat! Must be fun doing a little bit more difficult job. By any chance did you do that building across the strait also?
Love the drone footage. Please do an episode on how to hire someone like you in our area? Questions to ask? Professional certification? Pole building experience? Reasonable deposits. All that sort of thing. I would love to just hire you, but if Diresta was too far then California is definetly too far!
@@RRBuildings You know what could be a great buisness for you would be building a group of affiliates. People that you train, and that you certify that know thier stuff. You design the building, and talk us customers through everything on the WEB. Then you fly out to get the first day going and check everything via video on the last day. You keep our cash deposit, payout to locals as per agreement and watch out for both sides. There are great contractors out there. They are just tough to find, and us consumers don't now how to find them or check out thier skills. So people like me, put our barn projects off cause we been burned too many times in the past. You have the advantage of being entertaining so we watch you on TH-cam. As a side benifit we learn that you know your stuff, have great customer service, and know how to be fair to a sub contractor. You would be the perfect glue between us and them, and of course earn your worth in the process. Can't swing hammers forever after all, the human body just won't allow it ...... unfortunately! Cheers, Leo
I'm in a northern climate with heavy snow fall. How long should a pole barn last built the way that you build them? Also, would it be preferable to go to 4' centers on the trusses? Thanks
Are the lamented posts the new norm from the standard 5x6 treated poles of my day? (I'm 72) I like this method you use. Is it code now? I've done some building in my day, mostly for my own use. Regards, Ron
Kyle, Great job so far. Looking forward to watchi g the rest of the series. I see the building across the street os not one of yours. Any major differences in how you construct yours vs theirs?
Sure looks like the building across the street is larger (sq ft wise) than the one you're building. wonder why the HOA allowed that one, esp since it also has a porch. Did you ever measure it to compare?

currently in school for carpentry and watching your videos humbles me and hopefully one day ill be as good as you !
That’s awesome man I promise you it’s totally achievable. I am nothing special. I just always try my hardest to do my best regardless of the circumstances.
Keep at in man, the trade industries are hurting for good employees!

Cool Music and Cool Chain Structuring

Who the hell thumbs down these videos. Great bunch of guys, great building, true craftsmen
Another master class in building. Nice work Greg and crew.

Dude the music in this video is KILLER
Thanks Anne
@@RRBuildings that beat at 3:40 tho...lol
That cut-in bit at the back is just begging for a bit of paving and a nice little fire pit. I hope the detail on the building will be spark-proof!

This skid steer with track and telescopic boom si so useful.
Your videography and editing is getting better, and as Anne of all trades said the music in this one was Killer. great choice. keep up the good work!!
Great job! Can't wait for part 3! I wish you were closer to Michigan!
OMG, gotta love that Kubota!
I freakin' love your job... you make people love building stuff! Keep it up!
The way you guys do things is just soooooooo much more thorough than what gets done here in Australia it’s amazing
Nice Building! You never disappoint.
Kyle great job on the video footage both from the ground and the drone! The man cave is going to be great! Looking forward to the next video!
Thanks a bunch

That Tele-Boom is impressive,.... nice to see a product that's produced in a small town right here in North Dakota!!
Very interesting truss design on the large center one
Nicely Done 🏗
Great Ariel Shot 🚁
Nice Martinez Speed Square 📐 On The Last Video...🤜
Drone footage in the snow. I like!
me too....just don't like working in the snow
Second both of you. I really enjoy the videos, keep on doing you.
Use the drone to dust the snow off. If it can't, you have legit need for bigger, badder, more payload carrying drone. Move up to 5 or 6 props lol
First class operation.
yet another great video always get impressed with how great and fast you guys work and thats great how you still make time to explain everything you do would you ever have another live show like your shop show
What would you like me to do live??
@@RRBuildings anything that works for you even a tool review very appreciated
Its amazing the home owner isn't having you also build the house.
A post frame house would be so versatile and easy to configure as the years go by.
I think I’d post frame was allowed in the subdivision he might have lol. Who knows but that’s okay... I like to specialize when I can and thankfully I haven’t had to do anything else in the last few years

worst thing about this cold weather is we don not get to see Greg in his Borat-style tank top.

Like the drone shots...
First your crew is awesome, not easy to work and being filmed. Second your framing process is top notch.
Wish you guys were in Michigan!!
What supports the LVL beam / headers that the trusses bear on over the garage door? It looks like they're just nailed in place.
Yeah like the music and drone footage is deadly, what is the first song called?
shoot don't remember

Kyle,
Great job so far. Looking forward to watchi g the rest of the series. I see the building across the street os not one of yours. Any major differences in how you construct yours vs theirs?
Is the double-port building across the street also an RR buildings product? ;)
Guessing you just hammer the nails in at an angle for the 2x4s on the roof? Will you show how you do that on the next video?
Sure looks like the building across the street is larger (sq ft wise) than the one you're building. wonder why the HOA allowed that one, esp since it also has a porch. Did you ever measure it to compare?
Can you discuss pros and cons between this and steel structure shops?
mainly I think aesthetics. I just feel like a wood frame shop has a greater appeal but that is just my personality.
Ok. Thanks! I want to build a shop next year. Just weighing options.
Did u guys get hit with the tornadoes? Was that near you guys or no?
drone shots are top notch! Question: after all this shooting do you find yourself narrating your life when no cameras are around?
Hey Kyle, on average what would you say is the construction price differential using post and frame vs standard framing?
Forget that snow and mud !
ohhhh guys weren't tied off on the wall or putting purlins on! haha joking...former Cleary Building builder, the joys of not HAVING that annoying cable pulling at you...awesome looking mancave so far!
