I enjoy watching your videos. I used to work construction but now I have a desk job. Every time I watch one of your videos it makes me want to fire up my own llc and get to building.
I like the banter between you and Greg. I miss that after being retired from the trades. I had a great run of 35 years as a Journeyman electrician. Keep up the great work. I really liked the segment where you had the plumber install the hydronic heating for your last project. Other contractors you brought to the site to help finish ie Rollup doors and perform air testing were great.
That laser elevation surveying set-up sure makes it quicker & easier than when I surveyed as a college co-op student in the early 1960s. Yeah - I’m that old, retired but still love to watch construction, machine shop and drag racing content. Question on the elevation pole or range pole - whatever it’s called these days: I notice that you do not rock the pole when you’re getting an elevation at each bracket. When we surveyed manually, we rocked the pole and the instrument man read & recorded (manually in the log book) the lowest number. That eliminated erroneous readings due to the pole being held off vertical. Does your system have a level on the pole that you hold plumb? Or maybe something built into the system that signals amount off plumb and the laser system corrects the reading with some trigonometry calculation inside the black box? We got two quarters of surveying in school, but being Mechanical Engineering students we never figured on needing it. First co-op job was - surprise! - surveying. Should have paid better attention to elevation surveying lesson, but our survey sight in West Philadelphia was bordered by the street Wilt Chamberlain’s mother lived on. Our levels and transits spent more time aimed toward her home hoping to catch Wilt pull up for a visit in his ‘59 Caddy convertible than working the surveying assignment of the day. We saw him once.
Spending the extra time to get the top of the post all the same height saves much, much more time later on. It's the 'foundation' for the structure after the concrete work.
That stabila with the visual measurement is a game changer. Beats the hell outta an old school telescope transit and tape measure. One day i’ll get me one. Luckily with steel structures were usually spanning 20-24’ between columns so chasing 3/16’s isnt as important as post frame
You guys should take your acting skills on the road. It's getting better and better over the years! Love the back and forth banter guys. Can't wait to see how this build progresses. Thanks for making my lunch enjoyable today.
Nice sunny day, no wind. What's not to like? Yea. No sweating. Nice to see. Thanks for sharing all of this. So much fun to see it all come together. 〰✨🌿👍🌿✨〰
I would use that nail gun every time it's good to hand drive some but one good bout of tennis elbow sold me on every nail gun available man your structures go up so quick looking great the building Brothers
If your corner brackets only have steel under half of the bottom of the column, isn’t the weight held by the entire column being put on a much smaller point since half the base is floating?
On our site at the end of day, we switched off the machines, put all our tools away clered the site then with the old machines wrapped a double long blanket over engine, went under to sump, wrapped int around it then taped it up keep cold out. then put a message on steering wheel to remind to take it off in the morning,!! It worked.
If you attached a 1-2ft 2x4 or even 2x6 to the outside of those beams, it should stop them from falling out of the brackets when lifting. You know everything so maybe not worth the extra time vs just moving them back onto the brackets tho.

So you talk about the thermal wear, but didn't mention what temp you were working in . . . I'm pretty comfy down to about 20 degrees (with no wind) with a sweat shirt and light gloves as long as I'm moving. I don't really like tight glove either. I use the cheap brown thin gloves too.
Curious about framing inspections, obviously would be different for different states/counties/cities, but do you have a framing inspection for the main structure or once the interior walls are up?
Kyle, can you do a video on that foundation? is it an insulated shallow foundation or whatever they are called? or is it a true , full-depth foundation? i never understood why you would use under slab insulation if you had Continuous insulation around the foundation wall. the heat from the house is needed to keep the ground under the slab above freezing within the foundation walls. if you added insulation it would act against that
Does post frame construction save on lumber? I thinking not now that I see the laminated poster, looks like (3) 2x6 glued and screwed. If those were taken apart to span 16" oc it would be the same. True?
Can you turn off "audio track" on your video's? I listen to translated audio and it won't go back to original U.S. .

I don't think I've ever been this excited for a build series before... Can't wait to see it complete!
I enjoy watching your videos. I used to work construction but now I have a desk job. Every time I watch one of your videos it makes me want to fire up my own llc and get to building.
Best thing about winter building is frozen ground so no mud.
This building has got me very excited due to the fact it’s more for a family. Very interesting.👍🏽😊
So excited for this series! Hoping to start my own post frame build in the next 5 years with everything ive been learning from you!
Left and right-handed hammering and a corner column right on the mark -- very impressive.

Proactive competence all the way.

i like this style of construction
Looking awesome fellas

happy new year keep up the good work guys
Getting older sucks Kyle…I feel ya with the socks!
Pretty cool for sure!

Building with two framers and one forklift.❤😂😮
Another great video. You may want to look into some heavier gauge jumper cables though; I think you’ll appreciate them.

You know why I like Makita powertools best? They have the best sound to it. DeWalt has an annoying high pitch for instance. 😁👍🏼😁👍🏼
I know where that is - there ain’t a lot of “town” to that town… 😂

Winter building-no sweating

Well done❤
Very interesting construction!
Easy and cheap way to build.
Enjoy your videos-you never mention building inspectors-any concerns with them?
The Milwaukee winter bib is solid, a little more bulky tho.
28:20 The Stare... The Wink...The Click... 😂😂
Love to see it
Your barn looks good 🤣

I caught the Eminem reference Kyle!
Mom’s spaghetti
See you got the snow you wanted.
Sounds like love's got ahold on me! Did I get the reference right? My hands are sweaty and my knees are weak...
palms are sweaty, knees weak arms are heavy, there's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
Buy a Couple cans of Starting Fluid for cold Days!
Will the brackets eventually rust if they are in direct contact with the concrete.
I keep telling you, Leave Creg alone. 😂😂😂😂
Here we go
🔥🔥🔥🔥 WORK....IS THIS FLOOR PLAN ON THE WEBSITE? WHAT IS THE HEIGHT OF GARAGE COMPARED TO HOUSE?
How do you find the gas on the paslode in the cold?
Winter building is rough
😊😊😊😊
Does post frame construction save on lumber? I thinking not now that I see the laminated poster, looks like (3) 2x6 glued and screwed. If those were taken apart to span 16" oc it would be the same. True?
Is this build already sold?
Yes, he's building it for a client
Not seeing this plan on the site.
Yep
If you ignore or don't see the forklift, it appears that Greg is lifting the wall on his own
How does one get you to quote building a barn?
Send me an email if you are local? We don’t travel far
@@RRBuildingsthat’s a shame. My wife and I are saving to build a barndo in Missouri, and I would have loved for you guys to build it.
I could never survive an hour taking measurements like that, metric is so much easier to use.
Dont you think you should retire that old beat up hammer
i have a good place for it in my tool case wehre it will rest good old Denmark with me ;)
"Haven't worked in town for a while", well it's in the name - Rural Renovation ;) But got it TR is not so catchy as RR.
I came in at 23 seconds lol
Хлопці, ви кращі в своїй справі. Підписався на вас та вчуся, як будувати каркасні будинки. Привіт з України.

Would be dope with metric conversions on screen, I have no idea what those numbers mean 🤣
You don’t know fractions?
warm them batteries before charging! (duh)
Can you turn off "audio track" on your video's? I listen to translated audio and it won't go back to original U.S. .

17 seconds and no views?!
Literally fell off .
46:15 ....@Constructionbros could of done it with bare feet ;}, what are you complaining about...
Boooo truewerk major f up 😂
