I love how you included the little details, such as where and how many fasteners you use. Thank you sir! Few people show that.
This is the best most helpful video I've ever watched about any construction. Thank you!!
You can always tell when someone is making their own project. The extra care and "over engineering" is always there. I tend to do the same thing for my builds. :)
Same here!!!
This is a good video. You gave me some ideas and good advice. Now if it could just stop raining outside.
Excellent video! No wasted words. Very clear. Concise. Just great!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for taking the time to explain any details. I love how you show what type of nails and screws, and how you nailed every every single piece of wood. One of the best videos ever you deserve a #super thumbs up.
Thank you
Thank-you for that video. Just what I needed. I have a shed with roof rafters that do NOT extend past the shed walls- (I know!) I couldn't figure out how I could build an overhang that would not sag over time. The support at the peak answers that question.
Very helpful video. You have alleviated my anxiety. Thanks
I really appreciate your video. This is exactly what I need to do on an existing roof and I was wondering how to go about it. Your meticulous attention to detail in making the video makes it easy to see what you did.
excellent love the use of color coded dots the only thing i would have done is overlap the outside 2X6 so you dont have a full seem at the 8 foot mark
Fantastic video, very well explained. Thank you.
Thank god for the helper willing to climb a ladder and look up
Well built. Well filmed. Well explained.
Excellent ! Just what I was looking for .
I recently found your page and am impressed with your work quality and descriptions of the activities. Thank you for sharing the journey!!!
Thank you. I have bookmarked your video presentation to hold on to it for more reviewing as I prep for an extension build in the near future. Well done. I certainly deeply appreciate the visuals you did with colours to show where you nailed and screwed and what size screws you did. Paying attention to detail even when editing your video for viewers! Wow!👍💯 ☺🇨🇦🍁
Very well explained. Excellent video.
very good way to explain spicily when you mention inch by inch with extra animations
Thanks
This was extremely helpful. Thanks a bunch!
Thank you for the detail!
Great explanation! Thank you.
I’d recommend doing a 3 1/2”dropped end gable to run your lookouts into the next rafter or truss and back nail the lookouts and start your sheathing at the end of the ladder and it’s tied into framing with a cantilever and the sheathing, making it much stronger.
Yes, typical method. This method is fine, but I would run the sheathing back at least two bays.
@@stevelopez372 depends where you are and the snow load for your area. This would fail inspection for me locally
Credit also goes to your wife/partner for helping behind the scenes.😀
Nice job sir. Its great to see professional work done.
Thank you
Excelente trabajo 👌👌 saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱👌💯

Thank you so much for making this video!!*****
Great video.

Nice job
this was an awesome video - love the nail pattern marking
Thanks so much!
Thx. Very nice video.
Looks great
Thanks new follower
Excellent
This is a fuccing really good video.
Amazing! I want to learn all you know. Very grateful for your help and time you have spent doing these videos.
Thankyou
If you’re using a 2x6 for your fascia do you have to also use 2x6 for the overhang ladders?Thanks for the great video!
Normally yes.
The roof tie in with existing roof video, has you uploaded that? i've been looking for it
How do you do the layout so the sheets line up on center? I see you pull from the square end of the frame, but then how do you know where the angle will be cut?
Would 2 feet be too big of an overhang using this method?
Yeah, I wouldn't go past 16"
not to nitpick but I noticed you didn't remove the last foot of sheathing up towards the gable end. You mentioned it in a previous video, and I thought it was a good idea. Anyways, I like your work and these videos!
Nice video. Any reason not to put soffit on underside of ladder before installing?
Thanks.
You could, but it will make it harder to access nailing locations and also make it heavier / harder to handle.
You say you made the ladder overhang 16" wide but did you account for the thickness of the sheathing?
Guess you didn't watch start of video
CA local code allows 9" overhang like this. any body can confirm me it meets (where) code?
Question why only 16" for maximum overhang?
The weight that far out will cause it sag on the floating end. Actually, he is going over code which 12" is for a ladder rake. It's a little sketchy, but he did overbuild it with all those LedgerLok and HeadLok structural screws. Should be okay.
The overhang can be increased to a max of 24", but another method of securing the fly rafter to the structure is required. The fly rafter can be attached with cantilevered boards called lookouts, outlookers, or outriggers depending on who you ask. I prefer this method regardless of the overhang. Not a fan of ladder rakes.
I'm trying to figure out how to build big overhangs on 2 sides of a building, can it be done? Or should I change the design to only overhang on one side? I want about 4 feet on one side and as much as possible up to 12 feet max on the other side. Seems like it will be too hard and I'll have to put posts to support the 4 foot side, then overhang just one part of the roof maybe 10 feet using 30 foot rafters? Or 30 foot trusses
Can you do a video about a cieling that floats off two walls.
The back wall would be 9 feet wide
The side wall would be 8 feet deep.
Off the wall the 1 foot thick beam would go off the side wall 6 feet and cut towards the beam coming off th3 back wall that's 6 feet deep

Kinda like that above but with no spaces between the lines
The sound was great, then it dropped to a whisper, then slowly faded away.

It was a good video, but I don't see professional carpenters using the structural screws you claim are essential. Why would they be when nails are stronger?

Ya for sure
Nice work!
