You've got the biggest bathroom I've ever seen
😂😂
How about the septic tank?
indeed...the privacy!!!
This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection th-cam.com/users/postUgkxkNYRBJuiJ6EwD-tQSAlxg0eFKsnR2cgz I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.
About to have one of the nicest home garages on TH-cam holy.
Just gotta keep working🤘
Hey man, 10+ year construction company owner here. You did a few things not so proper but it’s gonna be totally fine for your purposes. Actually refreshing to see a less experienced guy gettin at it with some out of the box, non conventional trouble shooting. Dream place you’ve got there!
Thanks for checking it out! I've actually already fixed a few of the issues, like replaced all the joist hanger screws with proper nails. But yeah its definitely over built for what I'll be using it for.
With the OSB, first row start a full sheet, then second row start a half sheet to stagger the joints, will tighten the frame up significantly if you stagger the sheets/joints.
Yeah I kinda realized this after the fact but oh well. Appreciate the feedback 🙌
@@Kordare Please keep up the excellent work, love seeing the design to build happen !
Ya helps keep the floor system from wanting to rack side to side
Came to comment the same about staggering, 16" on center floor joists would help too.
and run your floor board 90 deg to your joists
As a carpenter, this is how I'd imagine myself sounding trying to explain how to fix a car.
Hahha yeah I think I just made up "joist plate". Finally started saying header by the end. I am NOT a carpenter 😂😂
I’m dead.. 😂
😂😂
@@Kordare technically its not a header either, its a beam.
Jörge rim joist.
Hey just want to say you're a great inspiration for me. I'm currently, a college student in Ohio and a car enthusiast. Seeing where you are at in life, is where I wanna see myself in 5-6 years. Great motivation for me to hit the grindstone and study by seeing the results of hard work. Keep working and good luck with everything.
That's so awesome to hear, I'm really glad I could do that for you. Sounds like you already have the right mindset. Success doesn't happen overnight, hard work and patience is key.
Dude same im almost done with College cant wait to start making enough money to make my dream garage
After watching your channel for awhile I thought it was very important that I give you some very good/sound advice and the best part of this advice is it’s only 3 words long - Stay SINGLE Buddy.
Hahahahah I appreciate the advice 😂😂
Listen to this man!!!!!!!!!!!
I was thinkin that with the garage / house tour vid! Lol
Seriously 👑
As a chick, I TOTALLY agree with these comments. You worked your tail off for this and I'd hate to see you lose it! One word- PRENUP if you get married! Awesome build and I've subbed!
Love seeing a plan come together
I just built my garage loft this weekend, really glad I found your video. The process is done in a clear and precise way, the materials used are all accounted for and the choices are explained. Thanks so much!
Glad I could help 🤘🤘
Excellent work overall, very informative on several items. One thing I would like to mention is that the stringers above the posts need to have their cuts staggered in such a structural beam application. Having the board ends meet with no overlap creates a failure point above the center post, and enough load on this point can split the post vertically along the grain, the same way a log splitter works. Simplest solution is to remove the outer layer of stringers and swap them.
Incredible video and build, thank you. I appreciate seeing 1 person do it and the little rigs you setup throughout to make it possible. Well done!
Thanks a lot!
i really love these videos. they have inspired me to start putting up construction and cleaning videos of my own. thanks very much
Glad to hear that 🙌
Im not one to comment on much, but this work is absolutely excellent and the video quality is right there with it. Love to see videos of a shop/house build! Awesome work!
Really appreciate that, thanks for checking it out!
Thank you sir for your video. We actually just finished a loft which was modeled after yours for our shop. Now the neighbors all want me to build one for them!!! You did great work!
Awesome I'm glad I could help🤘
When adding the second joist on the outside, you should always stagger the joints, for added strength, so if you have 2 full length boards(2x10) cut one in half, glue and screw it, put up the full length(glue and screw) then the last half piece(g&s) that way all your joints are staggered and covered as well.
Damn ROOKIES!
Looks good. But also if you stagger your osb Sean’s it’ll add strength. 16” OC would help eliminate the need for extra bridging at OSB seams, but I understand the desire for 14” OC. Nice job.
While we are at it. Use you speed square as a guide while cutting your lumber then you don't have to watch the line
That's not always the case. In this case, it's bearing on the post so staggering the joist would not add more strength.
I disagree. I'd rather have the load bearing on the posts. If he had long enough boards to span two sections, that would be a different story.
This home is one gigantic Man Cavern!
Dude is totally preparing for Quarantine 😂👌
You know it 🤘
@@Kordare just found your channel. I built over Two Hundred Homes starting as a framer at age 14, working for my uncle on weekends and summers before I went into Army Intelligence right after High School.
I would like to make two simple recommendations: 1- Dump the Ryobi saw and spend an extra $30 on at least a basic "Skill Saw" - much better quality with more Powerful motor, which makes cutting infinitely easier and lasts 5-10 times longer. Ideally you'll also want to block in the floor deck where the seams of the plywood is, because over time they can start to buckle or even start caving in downward. Too late for plywood clips but those help too.
Great job on the lag bolts on the back wall.
You can't wrong and I was pleasantly surprised to see you add the Joist Hangers on the front as well.
Also, would recommend that you use a high traffic floor paint on everything, but the floor deck is especially important to keep out moisture and retain moisture if it gets too dry in the summers.
Recommendation to start the second row with a half sheet is of course the best way and you can use the second half of that sheet at least on your fourth row which keeps waste to a minimum.
Home Depot is a great source for the price point your looking for. 😉
@@sterlingmichaels appreciate the feedback and recommendations!
I’ve been looking into a building a pole barn house and watching ur vids has made my decision clear that I am doing that
Awesome glad I could help🤘
Just locked in a lease on a dream spot with 20ft ceilings in LA. Been searching for a video to inspire my DIY loft build for weeks. So happy I stumbled on your series. Truly inspiring. Shooting and editing couldn’t be better I feel more confident than ever before going into this (my first ever build of this sort).
I'm glad I could help. Only thing I changed from this video is to use proper 10d nails on all the joist hangers. I show this in more detail in the ramp build video. Good luck and have fun 🤘
Need to think about plywood when setting joist. Good spacing is 12" 16" or 24" that way you have backing on all seems and edges. And like others mentioned stagger the plywood. Other than that great work. And remember one thing "only people that don't do anything make no mistakes"
Yeah definitely made some mistakes here, but have already went back and fixed the ones that mattered. Mainly switched all screws to nails in the joist hangers and added bracing over the doors.
I remember seeing the walk through when you first built this place and thinking how cool a half pipe would be in there! Love the videos man, keep it up 👍🏼
Thanks! Getting started on the halfpipe now 🤘
@@Kordare Wouldn't you hit your head if you get good air or hangtime?
This is legit. No BS, no gimmicks, to the point. First time on this channel but won't be the last. Great stuff man. Stay safe.
Really appreciate it man, thanks!
Thank you for the video. I appreciate your planning and execution, as well as the step by step explanations.
Thanks for checking it out!
Biggest open-concept bathroom ceiling I've never seen!! :) LOL Nice work!!
😂😂 thanks!
Friendly tip (maybe I'm repeating what someone else has already said), screw small cleats to the ends of your joists that aren't being stuck in the hangers. You can walk them over, hang them on the rim, and get them positioned to install the hanger on that end. Its an extra step, but you don't have to support the weight of the board for as long getting it in place and aligned. Just something to think about to make your life easier if you do any other platform or deck framing. Aside from that you did a great job! Very well thought out.
Thanks for the tip!
the whole shop/home is just incredible;and keeps getting better! rock on🤘
Thanks a lot 🙌🙌
Looks amazing! This turned out really well. Looking forward to seeing the addition of the half pipe.
You leaving the toilet open plan, shades of Army life lol
😂😂
Or prison life! Lol
Ayyyy, That’s Awesome! I hope I can do this soon 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️
Thanks, make it happen 🙌
Honestly this is AMAZING.
Thanks 🤘
I'm always a one man band too, relying on clever tricks like you did to build this by yourself. Very cool. I just bought a house with a 16x40 RV garage that I'm going to build a loft in. Great job. Thanks for sharing. Very inspiring.
Thanks for checking it out and good luck with yours 🤘
18:35 just wait until it’s 100 degrees outside. You’ll be cutting that last joist again, lol.
Hahah yup my thoughts exactly, just have to break out the jigsaw real quick
@@Kordare A belt sander would get it done too Scribe a line and work back to it and it will give you a cleaner result
Box out that space above the door with double headers on each side, just like you would an attic access. You'll never have to worry about if that door will clear any joists in the future :)
Or when's got bunch of weight up there
You're a beast for building this alone. Came out awesome 💪💪
Thanks man🤘🤘
Came out awesome! Great work.
Thanks a lot!
This is Awesome can't wait to see the rest
Thanks!
Just went on a mad marathon of your channel last few weeks, earned urself a new subscriber, keep it up
Appreciate the support! The next video is going to be a good one 🙌
Looks great, I'm jealous!!
Just one thing, dont forget to stagger the OSB when laying it helps tie everything together and not just 3 rolls of osb.. and the extra trusses is great, but on 16 oc the osb works out dimensionally. Wished I had your talents and ambition!! Keep up the great work!!
Thanks and I appreciate the feedback! Yeah I realized the 14 o.c. would screw up the plywood but I wanted the extra strength.
@@Kordare 12 inches o.c. works out also
@@mudbucket89 very true, but thought that was a little too overkill, maybe next time I'll go 12
Awesome work man, excited to see the rest of the build!
Thanks a lot!
killer job, glad to see a DIYer with a some knowledge. And working alone. Great job!! Keep it up
Thanks! Clearly I'm not a pro but this was a lot of fun and I learned a lot.
i like this, thank! I was looking for some info on how to build a loft in my shop, this was really helpful!
I'm glad I could help!
Smart guy! I’m currently an apprentice engineer and seeing your skill and accuracy in your work is exhilarating! Keep up the good work, you should be proud of yourself!
Thanks a lot and good luck to you!
I needed some basic instruction on how to do this in my own garage. This is exactly what I was looking for. Fantastic video!
Thanks for checking it out, glad I could help!
Do you have the joists and board sizes?
The nice thing bout owning your own land and building your own place? No one cant tell ya nothin or no you cant do that.
Big goals here man.
Exactly my thoughts 🙌
Great job my dude! I like the idea of having some storage and a small chill spot up there. Plenty of structural rigidity. You are probably already planning on it, but a railing for the stair case would be awesome. Looking forward to see this progress. Keep the content coming!
Thanks a lot man!
Always thing overkill and there will never be a problem.
Agreed!
Super Cool Video love seeing stuff like This !
Thanks a lot 🙌
Putting in the work and getting it done with what you have. Nice work !
Thanks a lot!
There’s a reason to use 12 or 16 inch centers, the floor joints landing on it. You did a good job making it work though, a little extra work
Yeah I just liked the strength of 14" and thought 12 was too much 😂
Kordare you did a nice job of making it work, should be super strong.
@@thomasbooth9079 thanks, all the pros on here think it's gonna collapse the minute I step on it 🙃🙃
Kordare I doubt it, I would be tempted to brace the corner post..... but I like overkill. The walls on two sides should keep it from racking one way or the other.
@@thomasbooth9079 oh yeah there is zero movement in any direction on this thing
Very nice build. I build pole barns for a living and you have done well. I would have staggered the sub floor sheets but other than that this is a really good build.
Thanks! Yeah I'm no carpenter and made plenty of mistakes but learned a lot on this project.
Very good, thank you.
Nice job on that, turned out great. Looking forward to the half pipe build.
Thanks! Starting on the ramp today 🤘
That was pretty good I subbed for that👍!
Appreciate the support 🙏
Watching you build your house/ garage and now this, I believe that you should go to local schools and talk to to the freshman classes on how to achieve this or anything because you'd be a hell of a mentor! I wish our school had someone like you when I was growing up cause I was into building stuff like your half pipe. Great build on everything and thanks for giving me some garage with house ideas!!
That would be pretty cool! Thanks for checking it out!
Wow unbelievable- man you did an excellent job with this. I’m awaiting my building now. You have me a few ideas. Thank you sir for posting
Thanks for checking it out and good luck with your project!
Awesome video man and glad to see you’re still getting on wife life and doing things just how you want to.
You know it😂😂
Thats hella dope! Could use one of these in my new shop, minus the half pipe!
I'd highly suggest it, more storage that doesn't take much away from floor space underneath. Also just randomly realized you are pretty local to me, recognized the harbor freight in your recent video 😂😂
@@Kordare Ill reach out on insta homie
Seems like you coulda saved a hell of a lot of work by making it 6" taller.
Yup but I'm glad I did it so I can ride bike on top
Love the quality of your videos, keep up the good work brother. Much love from Hawaii
Appreciate the support man 🤘🤘
You deserve so many more subs man! You are freaking awesome! You inspire me to achieve my goals man! Thank you much love!
Appreciate that man, I'll get there someday. And that's awesome to hear, keep working and stay patient!
Prenuptial agreement my friend.
Never let them take this away
1 comment and 1 question. I’m really jealous of your living situation AND, how did you do all of that work with NO music??? I would’ve gone crazy!
Hahah luckily I only need to film a short section and then I can turn music back on to do the bulk of the work 😉
Love how I'm sitting on the same roller chair from Harbor Freight watching this as he comes rolling in with.
😂😂😂
The fact you did this solo is dope! Looks good too!
Thanks a lot!
I knew the 14" spaced joists were going to cause issues with the flooring. I was talking to my monitor for you to change it but it's just a loft for your personal use, so it's not a big deal. If it were to be up to code, you'd have to change it.
I started doing the math on that myself but i thought maybe it was a strange difference in code... Here we are required to set joist 16" on center
@@MrKastro502 The spacing is fine for code since even though 16" is standard (it's a little over engineered), but the ends of the osb need to be terminated on a joist and the sheets should be staggered.
Appreciate the feedback! Clearly I wasnt too worried about making this fully up to code, like you said it's just some storage space in my garage...
Your garage is turning into my dream house 😂 just the skate ramp would be more loft instead 🤷♂️
haha do it!
Huge solo undertaking, cool stuff man!
Thanks for checking it out!
Very similar to a loft I built in my garage. When it came time to sell the house, I offered to tear it down but the realtor loved it and said it was a selling point. Mine had some differences, including bifold gates on the lower section, but same concept. Your loft looks solid.
Very cool, thanks for checking it out!
I want to see some nice tool companies sponsor him! @Milwaukee
Maybe someday🤘
Very nice loft. One question though, why 14" OC ??? The standard spacing is 16" OC, which means the 48" wide floor almost always lands on a joist...
I just wanted a little extra support since I might be landing with a bike up there creating a pretty concentrated load.
Would 12” on center make more sense? That way your plywood hits on 48”
@@c50ge yeah that would work as well, would just use more wood
That's what I was thinkin
Exactly & he wouldn’t need those additional braces/blocks of wood he added afterwards & he should’ve staggered his flooring so the seams wouldn’t line up. In addition the floor joist should’ve been at 8 feet in height then wouldn’t need to notch the joists by the exterior door too, plenty of head space still would’ve be had on top afterwards. Overall the design isn’t bad, just needs a lil tweaking.
Thus is great. I just bought some property and I have some cash set back. I'm gonna build a 30x60x14 pole barn and the end of it will be a 30x20 apartment. Your videos helped me decide what to do and how to do it. Thanks!
I'm really glad my videos could help, good luck with your build!
Love this build. Great job.
I have a 2 car garage with a low roof. Going to have a someone draw up plans to re-frame the trusses. So I can install a loft. The garage wall backs up to my daughters room upstairs. My plan is the build a " secrect door " from their room into the loft. Giving them an emergency exit from the second story. Plus extra space to play and hang out with friends.
Thanks! Sounds great, good luck with your build!
That was a cool build! Love the idea, might do something similar in my garage space now.
Thanks, do it 👍
Just found your channel along with two of my buddies, very nice content and work on the loft. Keep it going man!
Thanks, appreciate the support!
I can't imagine needing a halfpipe but this loft has a lot of great uses. I really enjoyed your video. Great work!!
Thanks a lot!
I like the phrase " IF it's worth doing, its worth OVERDOING"😏
🤘🤘
dude love the page and the ambition for what you love to do... i just started getting into carpentry so learning alot of things... i plan on getting into a house to have a huge garage like this... perhaps a custom build... and i want to be involved in the building process.. excited to see more of the page!
Thanks a lot and good luck on your projects!
Looks great dude! Be proud
Hell, I wanna adopt this young man.
I love your videos, it’s inspiring
LOVE your slide in! LOL Very Cool, ty so much. I am building a second floor in my greenhouse that will be a tiny home portion. Trying to learn floor flaming etc. This helps me so much.
Haha thank you and I'm glad I could help, good luck!
As a tip when capping your sides with another plate stagger the second one in the middle of your joints, it makes it a hell of a lot stronger
Really nice work- good design, good tools, and I like how you never jammed or rammed anything. Nicely done. My only respectful comment on the floor is that I'd either lay down some plywood finished on one side, tongue and groove- the adhesive on the chipboard can loosen and some of the chips lift a bit. Again- super job- really like what you've done here. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks a lot! I'm planning to put down some heavy duty paint so the flooring holds up over time.
Massive respect for doing all that on your own mate
Thanks a lot! It was a fun challenge.
@@Kordare it was damn worth it mate, thats for sure. Motivation for my dream set up haha
Looks awesome. Great build
Thanks a lot!
Really great job can't wait to see the hàlf pipe. Greetings fr Australia ❤️
Thanks! The ramp is done, checkout the video after this one 🙌🙌
Thanks for this! Great video.
Thanks for checking it out 🙌
Shoot I wish I could get a house/garage built like yours. Looks fantastic!
Thanks a lot!
Great video! I like how fast you progress!
Thanks for checking it out!
Respect buddy. You built something, thats sick!
Thanks a lot!
What an outstanding Job. Now all you need is some lighting under the loft.
Nice build. Looks like you have some great toys! Looking forward to seeing you tailwhip 540 above the rafters ;)
Challenge accepted 🤘
Bad ass buddy. Definitely garage/shop/house goals. Keep at it.
Thanks man 🤘
Super satisfying to watch haha
Besides the fact you did this alone, besides the fact you designed and executed this very well,... You did it very safe. Excellent job. Thanks for sharing... I know this is way after the fact, but I recommend using LEDs as they have more lumens for the buck...
Thanks a lot, I appreciate it. And yeah I use LEDs pretty much everywhere in my house 👍
Cool build, thank you for sharing....
Thanks for checking it out!
Nice job! Very inspiring
Thanks for checking it out 🙌
It’s turning out awesome man, props on doing this solo! Feeling very lazy sitting at home by myself watching other people work on TH-cam lol!!!!
Thanks man! Starting is the hardest part, I had a lot of fun doing this🤘
Very cool project and a great way to use upper space within a steel garage. Mezzanine they are an amazing way to create more space vertically. I myself am building a steel garage 30 x 40 going to put a mezzanine back in the back and build a studio apartment to create For an Airbnb or even a rental apartment. Either way you can’t go wrong use every inch of your storage garage possible or barn for that matter. Great video. Colorado
Thanks for checking it out!
Awesome looking to build one in my sign shop great video
Thanks and good luck with it!
