Guys, when putting your tongue in the groove. Greg's face just lit up. He was doing everything he could to hold it in. Thank you for sharing that moment. You guys are awesome.
I busted out laughing 😅😅...then I was laughing hard with tears 😂...I'm off to work also. Tomorrow I'm working on my daughter truck. Some minor issues. She drives a 2500hd daily. She sure loves her truck. I'm the mechanic for the truck. Hopefully in two weeks. I need to inspect the brakes front and back.
I've worked for a lot of contractors over the years and none were as knowledgeable nor had the work ethic of Kyle. We need more leaders in the trades like him. Well done Sir.
So impressive. Kyle and Greg always use best practices and do an outstanding job of explaining why they do things a certain way. I always learn so much. One of my top 5 TH-cam channels for learning how to do it right.
On that subject, could you explain why you didn't start at the windows? That way you would have solid floor from the get go. At 1' on center, and 3.5" tops, it wasn't exactly treacherous footing, but I was curious.
Besides your focus on quality, one of the things I enjoy the most is the camaraderie between yourself and Greg and the flow that you get from having worked together so long. Although I'm an electrician, I try to work in the very same way. You really make it fun!
Very nice work. I am a “belt and suspenders” person. Your work is all of that and more. Glue and special nails to secure floor. 1’ centers for I joists. Corner tape pieces on windows. The hits just keep on coming!
Always great content. My son and I drove from WA to WY last year to help a friend frame a studio apartment inside his 40' x 85' shop I had earlier designed for him. Lots of fun. Road trip. Cold weather. Tough "Man Work." You do a great job explaining what you are doing as you do it. I agree. Lagging a second set of LVLs with hangers applied, to the girder, might have been an easier but a bit more $$$ option. I'll be scouring more of your channel since I will be creating a design for a 60' by 100' shop soon. (I'm recommending a steel framed project just to ensure clear span can work) Again........your channel is 100x better than TV Thank you!
Greg, that little piece of scaffolding that was bought will become a lifesaver! I have the same piece and it is so handy at times! Because you can adjust the leg height at each end is helpful! If your working on stairs or uneven surfaces it will pay for itself several times over!
Wow...those 2 point loads for girder trusses are carrying ALOT of weight. I did not realize until now, when you panned up through the ceiling, how that is all fitting together. Nice shop, I am jealous.
Thanks for saying this. My first video of these guys doing some mighty fine work!! This video came up after watching the Stud Pack channel where Jordan and his Dad are building out a "dream garage" with a living space above. Great series as well if you haven't seen it yet. God bless you, brother!! 🙏
That's how I worked for years doing many homes, just 2 of us cutting and nailing, and an occasional gopher when we needed someone to move lumber for us.
It's different when it's yours that you are personally building. Most buildings like this would be built by a crew of hourly workers that don't care about it.
You are The Greatest!I am a Millwork installer, the Canadians framers are our biggest nightmare!!,I wish they watch your channel!!Cheers from Toronto Canada!!!
I have used the same i joists for projects. In the situation where your truss has a 2x12 the top of the i joist needs to be supported with web stiffener blocks at the end for proper supporting strength. The hanger doesnt support it properly, due to the void in the "web" of the joist, or you can have the rimboard there to support the weight at the end.
Great job on the floor, we had a similar floor experience and after our engineer came out he recommended we install three cables from outside beam to inside framing in three of the floor spaces with ¾” eye bolts each end then when tightening it helped with any outside wall to the truss flexing, locking it all together ours was only 30’ long. In the old days they use to use solid rods with plates and bolts on the outside of the buildings lol.
Greg laughing at, you never want to jam your tongue in that groove… especially after the initial comment of, and I’m talking about tongue groove flooring. 😂 Yes Greg, we are all laughing with you!
Love the design and your expectations of your new shop. I only wish l had the time and years to accomplish it. You guys work together like a fine Swiss watch . Keep up the excellent work. From one in Ontario, Canada
We have that same yellow scaffold system, and it was a game changer when we repainted the inside of our house during lockdown. Made getting to our 2 story foyer ceiling such a breeze!
In all honesty, I appreciate the details that you go over. It helps put building into perspective. It’s not simple like I want to think it is. I watch your videos for the progress. Hope to do it myself one day.
Checking in from southern Missouri in the Heart of the Ozarks -- you guys have been my all time favorite building channel for several years now. Oh, yeah... and Go Pack Go! 🏈✊
The shop is looking amazing. I love the 2nd story on that end - I'm hoping to do this one day. Impressive work and thank you for all the detailed knowledge / sharing.
Oh my God I get entertain about the video. Can you have more video? Yes let me watch it. Thank you and God bless you for the video. It’s so good and I love it.
I have no idea about half of the things you said, but it's fun watchingvbuikdings being out together. I like watching the progress during my house being built. Could have saved a bunch of money if i could have built it myself.
As a career firefighter who also works construction on my days off my mind went immediatly to where Greg's went when you were discussing tongue and groove sub flooring.
A little pre drilling on those long constructions screws makes them draw things together better and is easier on the driver. Looking great. Thanks for the super video.
Thats a very nice shop, I dream to have a shop like that one day. I like how you guys are able to get a lot done in a single video, but still do a very good job of explaining not only what you are doing but why you are doing it. Keep up the good work. Also, it's great that you have a camera person, we can really see all that's going on vs just a camera on a tripod.
One thing I definitely get from watching Kyle do his explanations is that he sure knows his rim jobs and tongue n groove moves better than most on youtube. His wife is one lucky woman
The floor looks great. I agree with you. The LVL laminated to the girder would have been optimal, but learn as you go and make executive decisions when you have to.
I would love to hear more about the air barrier and where it is. I thought it was going to be at the weather logic layer, but when I saw you put the siga under the lvl I knew that wasn’t true. Great job. The shop is looking super nice.
I had to do the math on your floor since I'm an EWP designer. You stated you had a span of 22' 10-7/8" with a 12" on center spacing. Using our BCI 14" 90s I joist, here are the results. Your max deflection is .312", or 5/16", in the center of the joist. Damn near zero bounce. Not bad. I have the calc sheet saved if you like.
Love the "loft"! Its a dream of mine to have a similar shop setup. Big area for working on cars and metal fab, smaller area under the loft for a wood shop, upstairs for a guest bedroom or two, pool table, living room hang out area. Thanks for the awesome content and inspiration 🤘🤘🤘
I’m gonna say that beam isn’t sagging at all. There’s a lot of bracing in it and look’s quite stout. Also keep in mind how hot it will be up there when planning your hvac. Some good circulation and air conditioning for da man cave !!
Did he say in another video that he is doing a minisplit for the upstairs? I thought I heard it in 1 video which if he does will keep that area comfortable all year.
Good job! Some ideas, you could have used 2x12 + a 2x4 for your ledger boards to save cost and do the same on your truss so your not nailing joist hangers into truss plates. It might have been easier to place the joist hanger on the truss side ledger, as you set the I-joist. You could block the I-joist to stiffen the floor and I think you mentioned 16" oc. One last thing is, would start the sub floor sheathing at the wall, with groove at wall, tongue out from wall.
I love that space and plan on doing something very similar. Mine will be slightly different because I'm not going after a building as large as yours. I also want vaulted ceilings and will not use trusses.
Hi Guys,I really enjoyed the video,I am really looking forward to the Vapour Barrier detail around the girder truss.... I know that this is an issue I have run into during my Passive House build.I would like to see how fellow contractors address this Thanks for putting yourselves out there!
Hey kyle, awesome to watch you guys and have done for some while now. I think you had around 2-300k when i first started. im a carpenter myself from Norway and like to always look for new and better ways to build, and have taken alot from you guys in terms of efficiency :) In Norway we build very similar to Switzerland so you have kind of seen the materials and methods we use. keep up the great work and learning you do for all the carpenters out there on the world :)
Love this series. One suggestion though. Either lag or carriage bolt that LVL to the outside wall. As it stands, I think those screws are the weakest link. Keep up the great work!
Awesome! Good Idea for a server room and Top Secret Space. The one thing I would recommend for security cameras is Ubiquiti equipment, I do IT, so it's the best for installs, but I have a second location for my NVR if possible ran with fiber cable. I have seen and heard from security people that if the criminals see that unit for cameras, it is gone too. It may not happen always, but it is happening more and more often. Oh, and that Subfloor foam glue is 10 times better than pl400. Polyurethane caulk is excellent, but between the coverage and adhesive properties of the foam glue, it's a clear winner.
If you hit it too hard in setting the tongue in the groove you'll actually bounce it back out. It just takes light taps. It's always good practice to use flooring adhesive when laying your subfloor, or stairsteps. LVL's suck for the weight, but are great for the strength. The heaviest we did was 2000lb, 24"×20'ish×3 thickness to support a broad span over the 1st floor on a 9000sq ft home. Obviously it took a crane to lift it.
Nice timing, I'm about ready to start framing in my shop and a 2nd story and mezzanine is part of that plan. Fortunately my clear span is shorter than yours, and where its larger I have walls underneath so there's plenty of support. Looks like I get to use some 2x4's for support as I'm building and sealing very similar to yours. Thanks!
Hard keeping those girder trusses straight due to the plates stacking up. Riser to pull stuff tight with carriage bolts the threads of those screws have to spin out to pull the things together.
Guys, when putting your tongue in the groove. Greg's face just lit up. He was doing everything he could to hold it in. Thank you for sharing that moment. You guys are awesome.
What a goofball
Sometimes it might be best to not hold it in
That was funny!
I busted out laughing 😅😅...then I was laughing hard with tears 😂...I'm off to work also. Tomorrow I'm working on my daughter truck. Some minor issues. She drives a 2500hd daily. She sure loves her truck. I'm the mechanic for the truck. Hopefully in two weeks. I need to inspect the brakes front and back.
I just saw that, and almost fell off my chair when I saw Greg's reaction.
I've worked for a lot of contractors over the years and none were as knowledgeable nor had the work ethic of Kyle. We need more leaders in the trades like him. Well done Sir.
Absolutely 👍 👍
Greg's a lucky guy to be able to work with Kyle. A+ guys
Kalender is a lil' bit a german guy...😂 He Watts to bild exact as he can. Very cool to See. WhatsApp wth your son Kyle? What is he ding noch?
@@fumotorsports7232. I think Kyle is lucky to have someone like Greg.
I wish that jobsite superintendents would have as much respect for the "laborers" as Kyle does for his "crew!"
I really loved the comment that you would allow Greg to watch the Packers on your 100" TV! The shop is looking fantastic!
After tonight, he won’t be watching anymore this year!
So impressive. Kyle and Greg always use best practices and do an outstanding job of explaining why they do things a certain way. I always learn so much. One of my top 5 TH-cam channels for learning how to do it right.
Thanks man do our best
On that subject, could you explain why you didn't start at the windows? That way you would have solid floor from the get go. At 1' on center, and 3.5" tops, it wasn't exactly treacherous footing, but I was curious.
What a dream shop that’s gonna be. I love the attention to detail you have no matter what you are doing.
Besides your focus on quality, one of the things I enjoy the most is the camaraderie between yourself and Greg and the flow that you get from having worked together so long. Although I'm an electrician, I try to work in the very same way. You really make it fun!
Very nice work. I am a “belt and suspenders” person. Your work is all of that and more. Glue and special nails to secure floor. 1’ centers for I joists. Corner tape pieces on windows. The hits just keep on coming!
Always great content.
My son and I drove from WA to WY last year to help a friend frame a studio apartment inside his 40' x 85' shop I had earlier designed for him.
Lots of fun.
Road trip.
Cold weather.
Tough "Man Work."
You do a great job explaining what you are doing as you do it.
I agree.
Lagging a second set of LVLs with hangers applied, to the girder, might have been an easier but a bit more $$$ option.
I'll be scouring more of your channel since I will be creating a design for a 60' by 100' shop soon.

Love the practicality of your processes. Simple and efficient.
Wow...those 2 point loads for girder trusses are carrying ALOT of weight.
I did not realize until now, when you panned up through the ceiling, how that is all fitting together. Nice shop, I am jealous.
Those two posts are carrying half the building 😂
Its amazing how much work 2 guys can do when they know what they are doing.
Carpentry makes your mind sharp. Great work isn’t found regularly. Looks great!
My Saturday can officially begin! Your vids are one of the best notifications to receive. I’m in southeast Iowa so not too far from ya
Thanks brother
to those who are not familiar with RR… 2 guys did all this! 😳 Impressive!!

That's how I worked for years doing many homes, just 2 of us cutting and nailing, and an occasional gopher when we needed someone to move lumber for us.
I wonder if even 5% of the new homes are built this well. Makes me want to move by you and have a shop built.
It's different when it's yours that you are personally building. Most buildings like this would be built by a crew of hourly workers that don't care about it.
@@maddawgnoll True except he builds all of his buildings to exacting standards. I'd kill to have someone of his caliber and work ethic build near me!
Greg cracks me up at 34:30, he can hardly keep it together. Keep up the good work guys!
I have been framing 28 years never seen someone snap ever row and I thought I was a perfectionist 😮..outstanding guys like always
You guys did an excellent job as far as I’m concerned and I’ve done a lot of construction and I’m 68 years old I renovated 100-year-old buildings
You are The Greatest!I am a Millwork installer, the Canadians framers are our biggest nightmare!!,I wish they watch your channel!!Cheers from Toronto Canada!!!
It’s the same in the US . But they just don’t give enough times on jobs. Plus all the higher-ups always tell framers how to do their job.
I have used the same i joists for projects. In the situation where your truss has a 2x12 the top of the i joist needs to be supported with web stiffener blocks at the end for proper supporting strength. The hanger doesnt support it properly, due to the void in the "web" of the joist, or you can have the rimboard there to support the weight at the end.

Great information, this really help explain the framing and thinnking ahead. I have seen a lot of your videos. Enjoy watching them over and over.
Greg laughing at, you never want to jam your tongue in that groove… especially after the initial comment of, and I’m talking about tongue groove flooring. 😂 Yes Greg, we are all laughing with you!
You said put your tongue in the grove
I enjoy hearing you talk yourself into letting 1/8" slide. I fight that battle too....then remind myself that it is just a deck....roll with it!
I just love it when you said put the tongue in the groove and the guy in the back was busting a gut good looking job!
Hahaha , I was right with Greg on that " tongue in the groove , hit the wood super hard and jam the wood " comment . Too funny .
Love the design and your expectations of your new shop. I only wish l had the time and years to accomplish it. You guys work together like a fine Swiss watch . Keep up the excellent work. From one in Ontario, Canada
That building looks great. Every mans dream shop but you were able to make it a reality.
Videographer was the best decision ever made
Love seeing Kyle excited about this build! This is the coolest build by far. Looking great!
Kyle my man. Love to see You realising Your dream. I'm following Your channel for years. Superb work every time. shoutout from Poland.
We have that same yellow scaffold system, and it was a game changer when we repainted the inside of our house during lockdown. Made getting to our 2 story foyer ceiling such a breeze!
In all honesty, I appreciate the details that you go over. It helps put building into perspective. It’s not simple like I want to think it is. I watch your videos for the progress. Hope to do it myself one day.
Finally, someone who lays the sheets down gently! No point in putting glue down if you let the sheet slam onto the joists in my opinion.
Checking in from southern Missouri in the Heart of the Ozarks -- you guys have been my all time favorite building channel for several years now. Oh, yeah... and Go Pack Go! 🏈✊
Eh go bears.
GO Bears and take the Packers with you. SKOL Vikes
Every time I am amazed what you do with just two guys!!
One of the more anticipated videos in the series. Was waiting to see how the second floor was going to be. Awesome job
The shop is looking amazing. I love the 2nd story on that end - I'm hoping to do this one day. Impressive work and thank you for all the detailed knowledge / sharing.
Congrats on completing a big step. Nothing like building something for yourself.
Oh my God I get entertain about the video. Can you have more video? Yes let me watch it. Thank you and God bless you for the video. It’s so good and I love it.
Kyle , in the past I’ve used turn buckles to straighten girders .
Works really well !!
You guys are the best, how you guys get along is so important.
Looking great!!! Love the video and the step by step explanation of how and why you did it.
Glad you liked it!
I was lost in the reasoning not to run twin lvl’s on the bottom cord of your girder truss. Hearing you at 26:40 confess brought me renewed peace.
Watching you guys frame that shop made me so happy
I have no idea about half of the things you said, but it's fun watchingvbuikdings being out together. I like watching the progress during my house being built. Could have saved a bunch of money if i could have built it myself.
What a great space you created, so many possibilities

At the middle of the girder truss, build the floor slightly high, so it will sag straight. Outsmart the sag!
What a nice space, as always top notch craftsmanship. Well done love your videos, keep them coming.👍👍
The floor looks great. I agree with you. The LVL laminated to the girder would have been optimal, but learn as you go and make executive decisions when you have to.

Love to see the calculation on that girder truss carrying the floor load!
Phenomenal! Must be nice to have a fairly free hand with costs.
work is amazing to watch lads
Really a great job you guys. Really neat to see it all come together.
Awesome! Good Idea for a server room and Top Secret Space.

Oh, and that Subfloor foam glue is 10 times better than pl400. Polyurethane caulk is excellent, but between the coverage and adhesive properties of the foam glue, it's a clear winner.
This is going to be an awesome building, great work
Ive loved this building series, you are such a great teacher.
That is one nice shop you are blessed with that
I’m so into this build. Love your work guys. Genuinely excited when a new episode drops 😂😂
New favorite channel! I’m thinking about putting an office and bathroom in my double car garage
"..oh 100% dude, like this will be a hang point for sure!" 😂😂 Love that genuine excitement!
Tongue in groove and I’m talking about subfloor! Dude make an RR T-shirt with that! I def laughed like Greg did that was hilarious
Excellent Mez floor even better when it's finished
Yes very nice space well done guy's thank you for sharing
34m40s... Greg LOLING. Made the Tongue and groove even funny!
Awesome second floor build
Nice. I'm placing 32 ft. 16 inch one foot oc. 32x32 building. Your timing on this vid is spot on for me.
34:24 yup!!! that one's been around since I ran a crew back in the 80's 🙄
If you hit it too hard in setting the tongue in the groove you'll actually bounce it back out. It just takes light taps.
It's always good practice to use flooring adhesive when laying your subfloor, or stairsteps.
LVL's suck for the weight, but are great for the strength. The heaviest we did was 2000lb, 24"×20'ish×3 thickness to support a broad span over the 1st floor on a 9000sq ft home. Obviously it took a crane to lift it.
Great job, now to watch til it's finished with a walk through...
Impressive work ethic! You guys dont stop.
Nice timing, I'm about ready to start framing in my shop and a 2nd story and mezzanine is part of that plan. Fortunately my clear span is shorter than yours, and where its larger I have walls underneath so there's plenty of support. Looks like I get to use some 2x4's for support as I'm building and sealing very similar to yours. Thanks!
Kyle got his tounge in the groove !!!🤣 greg was laughing 😆 so funny
Gregs face when you said "putting your tongue in the groove" hahahaha; Love it!!!!
Hard keeping those girder trusses straight due to the plates stacking up. Riser to pull stuff tight with carriage bolts the threads of those screws have to spin out to pull the things together.
Can’t wait too see what the exterior looks like. You should install seamless roof up top 26 gauge
gorgeous lookin frame building
