Been an old fan of Andrew. But just found this channel. Now I have to catch up on 140 old videos. You guys are old school craftsmen. A pleasure to watch you working.
Andrew keep's it clean. Him using that little vacuum was precious. I know it's hard for him to be benched while this is going on, but he's busy on something else.
He is also smart. He removed the raw iron shavings from drilling the wholes in the beams who was laying there arround. He knows they wil rust in no time and if you walk on it will damage and scratch the paint. That little attention to detail is just experience. 2min of cleaning will prevent you hours of work later in the life of the building.
Drilling overhead all day' I'm sure you sleep good at night. Be fun to know the expense for drill bits alone, even with re-sharpening. You guys are true pros! KV
They make some good fire proof paint for timber that reduces the risk of fire spread.Andrew is sure lucky to have a friend that does quality work. Rare to find quality contractors any more.
Absolutely amazing quality work. watched all your videos of this project. This is no joke, its a ton of work and you and your Mrs keep plugging along. Great Work dan...
Dan, you and sheryl are just very blessed to have been togteher for as long as yopu have, to have raised the sons that you have, and for you both to just works so well and are so in tuned with one another no matter what project, weather the finishing of your own home, the inprovements you made before seklling your old home , and this project here. Great Video, and thank you for sharing. Will Andrew live here once all this work is done??
From on castle to another. I just watched Dan adding noggins to his floor timbers in France. Now you are working on adding timbers for Andrew's ceilings. Castles are forging ahead!
Bonsoir. Un travail de Titan que vous réalisez là. Andrew ne c'est pas trompé en vous confiant le job. Il ne doutait pas du résultat. Résultat que l'on attend avec impatience. Le château s'améliore sous vos mains.
pressure treated wood will corrode the steel. It's electrolysis or something, because the treatment is essentially copper... so metal on metal, essentially. Needs a rubber pad between the two.
Lots of overhead work. Difficult but, you've persisted with determined intent. You have my respect. Much blessings to you and your wife. Praying for your safety, strength, health, wisdom, sense of balance and success in Jesus's Name. ❤☝🙏🙌💪
That is a good idea insulating the ceiling like that. Will make it easier to heat up on top floor during winter and cut down heat radiation during summer. That looks like a hard job putting that up there like that, a lot of drilling and lifting over their heads, I bet they are good and tired after a days work.❤😮
Framing is a DIFFICULT Job and very IMPORTANT Job.Mr. and Mrs Wheeler did a GREAT Job.Thank You for your hard work.We like your Chicken segment,Do you have names for your Chickens? CHEERS
well done there's a lot of work just for the two of you but doing a good job thanks for the info about covering the metal that's very help full cant beleave your at his and working on his castle that's awsome love to see the property and machinery or help work on it with andrew
Nice work , very satisfying to watch you both! As i do like to DIY and would dearly love to do a build like this i am an olde Boilermaker and my hands and body are too painful when i try to work anymore , too many hours on the tools and power equipment! Love to see you guys getting it done!
The easiest way to cut them is a BIG circular saw. Skill makes a 16 5/6" diameter worm drive that zips through in one pass! :) On the farm we had a home made 24" Table saw, ..it made short work of 6X6's :) We mainly used to cut fire wood on as it was way cheap then gas .. It had a (I think 5 HP) 220 volt motor my Dad got from work!:) The 220 volt replaced the old 5HP Brigs and Stratton it had when we got it at an auction.
Is there a bathroom up there? I do not think I seen a kitchen. I am so glad you have the spray foam insulation guys coming back, I was absolutely concerned through the whole video.
I'm sure the spray foam contractor told Andrew that spraying 2inches of closed cell foam on a cold steel roof and walls creates a trapped condensation reaction between the hot curing foam and the cold steel and a knowledgable spray foam contractor does not spray on cold steel usually between the mont hs of around October through April and waits for warmer exterior temps on steel, or it will fail and likely begin separating/peeling from the steel.😇
Thanks, that is some good information. I recently heard someone describe how refrigerated trailers are insulated...they said the words: compressed panels inside of a vacuum WHEN applied...and the took off part of the metal to show how perfect the foam application formed... Apparently very controlled environment??
@@1truthseeking8 When the two part foam spray components meet at the surface it's sprayed upon, it's hot/warm. Sprayed upon an ice cold snow covered or outside cold temperature steel, it produces condensation between the steel and the curing warm foam. Spraying closed cell foam on warm or controlled environment, factory production environment steel wouldn't produce any significant condensation that might or would lead delamination/failure.
Just for the future if your gonna cut that many 4 x 4 s together in a row clamp them together just to make it easier and safer … plus a cleaner more straight cut through them all … p.s. nice work … I enjoy work like that
Looks good. There’s always a suggetion. I would have used closed cell insulation tape. Same used in foundation between cement & wood. Place it between the wood a steel. Preventing wood rot.
Look like you used treated wood, if treated wood the termites will crying 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 Andrew should paint top of the roof to protect , rust will build up 😊😊😊😊
Those beams look thick enough to support a mag drill? You are killing me with all the overhead drilling. Might investigate one of the $200 electro hydraulic hole punches on Vevor or Amazon? You have one heck of a lot of holes ahead of you!
I always wondered in the NY climate this would work out uninsulated. Even un-heated metal shed and pole barn roofs can sweat and drip on the inside from a frost layer on the outside and subsequent sunrise heating the roof metal. To note at the end of the video after the initial spray insulation was applied. Another word for the temperature transition is 'thermal bridging". There is a LOT of potential for thermal bridging in this building. That is just the way it is with a structure like this. That steel will soak up the cold and radiate it to the interior if it is exposed. Interesting to see what is done with those big square beams that support the ridges and such. I would have attached some doubled 2x4 material along the length to box those beams in so the could be foamed as well and the wood would give attachment to rock around the beams so you could box them in.
RESPECT RESPECT RESPECT 💪🏽🔥💯. You’re giving everyone especially the younger generation a class in work ethic and discipline 💪🏽😎. Was the spray foam a problem for you installing the 4x4 s ?? I would think you would have to scrape off the foam to adequately get all the wood even? Anyway GREAT JOB 💪🏽💯❤️
@@vincei4252 well because it doesn,t rot as easy, and woodworm, termites etc doesn,t like treated wood, and if you want to have things lasted for a very long time like camarata wants, and only do it once and then have it lasted at least his lifetime , it auto-answers the question.
Armchair expert here, I wouldn't use any wood in a steel structure build. The inner metal surface can easily drop below the dew point and thus condensation starts to soak the sandwiched wooden beams and breed hidden mold behind the panels. Stick to sprayfoam insulation plus thin metal beams, so even if condensation occurs there won't be any wooden food for the mold to breed off. EDIT: Obviously the thin metal beams would need to be coated with sprayfoam as well, just like the rest of the building,.. and all cavities completely filled with SF. It's a bit more work, but that would be the best way to do it. Also, only use closed cell sprayfoam chemistry, open cell SF is a sponge for condensation
Do you know who's doing the electrical prior to sheetrock? Are they going to make a video, too? Just curious. This whole project is awesome! Nice work.
First off, great video and great work. I would like to ask about the material choice however, are 4x4 common for this application? Is the one screw on either side sufficient to match the strength of the 4x4? I know Andrew likes everything over-built; and perhaps he is looking to be able to hang things easily from this ceiling but then the screw seems to me like the weakest link. I am just a guy on the internet asking because I don't know things and to my eye it seems like an odd combination. I am not trying to say I know better than Dan or anyone else who might give me a reply. Thanks
It would be nice for some commentary about the products used and why. For example if the screws are coated instead of stainless the coating will be damaged by the steel causing the screws to fail, especially supporting the weight of the cement board with the movement of the metal.
Wow, nice work. This castle is going to be around a long time. How long will spray foam last? Seems like when it does need to be replaced the amount of work is many times what fiberglass or foam sheets would be.
Does Mrs. Wheeler have a TH-cam Channel for Her Music? I like the song My Grandfather's Clock that She sung a few Videos back & had to look up Johnny Cash & Burl Ives also singing it. There is a sequel to the song I found out too...✌👍

Nice job on those supports, that was a lot of work. Mrs. W is a very hard worker.
Excellent teamwork. Happy to see a husband and wife working as a team. God bless you.
You have my utmost respect and admiration. There's no way I could find the patience and dedication to accomplish that.
Anyone can do it , just make the decision and keep at it , we all have it in us.

was thinking the same, no way it was fun drilling all those holes in the beams lmao. def need some cutting oil or you'll be killing bits
Good work Dan and Sheryl 👍👍
What a hard working couple! Superb job and very well done. You should be proud of yourselves!!
I’m glad you’re showing this. It’s good to see the project being completed.❤❤❤
Good job Dan! Good discussion and explanation dealing with the "what if's"!

Tough job working overhead all day, and that looks like pressure treated lumber, so not exactly lightweight materials.... Looking great Mr & Mrs W :)
Dan. This is hard and complicated work.
good to see you working with wood this video, the metal clanging last video was a bit loud and annoying haha bet it was worse it person though 😂
none too late....that place must have been either a freezer or an oven depending on the season.
That stink bug was a star for a second
35:44
Wow that's amazing they are doing
Having watched that castle go up, in stages, I didn’t know if we would ever see it finished on the inside
Is there a bathroom up there? I do not think I seen a kitchen. I am so glad you have the spray foam insulation guys coming back, I was absolutely concerned through the whole video.
All the the tools you Andrew and Jesse have, I am surprised you did not use a miter saw. Still impressed by how even your cuts are !
love watching the master craftsman working

To cut such a thin notch in one pass free hand! ..
I would have to make up a jig of some kind keep them straight ...
4x4s wow!
wood is the last thing i thought he would use
Same I thought he wanted it fire proof as possible
@@gregfarz78 this is still quite fire retardant. Those beams would would take forever to spread fire. especially when covered by the durarock
Yep, the same galvanised steel beams used for walls should be used for ceiling and coated with sprayfoam
Wow! that's a lot of 4x4
Look like you used treated wood, if treated wood the termites will crying 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 Andrew should paint top of the roof to protect , rust will build up 😊😊😊😊
I would not use treated wood indoors. In Sweden it is against code. The wood outgasses and can start to smell horribly when enclosed.

4X4 sees overkill for hanging drywall?
Well when you notch the ends that aren't 4x4 anymore. That's why I would do it the way he did. But to each his own, it's not underbuilt
Also I believe they’re using durarock concrete board not drywall
everything about camarata castle is overkill,overbuild just everything over..
he wants it to last for a hundred plus years 😂
Why pressure treated? That part I don't get.

super cool
Surprised he didn’t want metal for those rafters/spacers instead of 4x4’S
WHat kind of ceiling is going in there that required 4X4 on 16" centers? Precast concrete slabs?
Hoping your method of insulating the steels works. Nobody like to see ceilings or walls change color as black mold sets in.
You might think about adding 4 inch Rockwool as well
Does Mrs. Wheeler have a TH-cam Channel for Her Music? I like the song My Grandfather's Clock that She sung a few Videos back & had to look up Johnny Cash & Burl Ives also singing it. There is a sequel to the song I found out too...✌👍
An areogel product like Areolon by Tnemec or Rova Shield may be ideal for stopping the thermal bridging of the steel rather than spray foam.
Is this current footage? I didnt realize the place wasnt framed out yet
I am trying to figure out the time line of this work. Have you carried it out only recently, in the late winter, spring and summer of 2024? Thanks.
Just started watching, but tell me Andrew is planning on installing some Rock Wool or Spray Foam Insulation in the voids behind the drywall....
Good one.
This could have come out quite a while back. Like a few years. As a 25 year carpenter, a miter box/chop saw would have been much quicker. 😮
Treated lumber for interior work?
