- I built this 14' x 20' room addition by myself (well, there was some unsolicited help). It has 9' walls and an 8/12 roof pitch on the cathedral ceiling that is supported by a 300 lb beam!

You remind me of myself, do it yourself regardless of how hard it is, looks good
I need to stop doing these types of things before one of them goes terribly wrong!
Very emotive footage, your absolute determination to get the job done is so refreshing. Instead of complaining and trying find a way out you get on, excellent man. Take care at all times.
If I was driving by I would think to myself........I would do that....and offer to help. Great video. Cheers.
That’s a big job. Looks great.
Thanks for the video and all the shared knowledge, happy new years also!. Not sure if you're willing but if you ever can let anyone shadow you in person to learn let me know.
Man I was straining to help you till you got that LVL into the saddle on the end wall...whew now I can relax.
You and me both!
I was thinking of adding on a 20x20 bedroom with 6x20 for the bathroom and closet, and 14x20 for the bedroom. This would be a great living room, dinning room, play room, but I am not sure if 14x20 would make functioning bedroom. Would 14x20 work well for a bedroom?
14 x 20 is way bigger than my bedroom!
Looks Great !!! Nice Job 👍
Thanks 👍
You make it look easy!
Creative editing LOL
When the scaffolding was shaking and he was at the top of ladder lifting those beams...it did not look easy. :)
Looks great. Around how much would you say the footer and cinder blocks were? Great work
Not sure, but I know that usually, of all the phases of construction, concrete and masonry costs the most.
The video picks up with the concrete block foundation already constructed. Can you share the process you did? Is there a separate video showing what you did by any chance?
I didn’t do the foundation work.
You should get yourself a small crank material handler for these types of jobs. Makes lifting heavy stuff much easier.
Freakin Awesome 😁. Been there, you did it smarter than me tho😂
Really? I’d hate to see how sketchy your setup was then! LOL
@@MyDIYAdventures lol- let's just leave it at shoulders & stepladders... sometimes learning hurts 🤣
WOW!
Challenging, Difficult
Fun to watch though.
Putting on a Gable roof is the height above plate the same measurement of the common rafter & the hip rafter.
There are no hip rafters on this build
Should have used a jack all to raise that up instead busting your back the foot would sat right next to it. Either way great work as always I enjoy the content
I was going to use scaffolding, but I would have lost a day of productivity with lugging it to the job and setting it up…so I decided to just go the reckless/stupid route😂
How is the beam supported? is it on that sub floor or does it go all the way to the foundation? both sides...
You didn’t watch all the way to the end, huh? I had photos of all the blocking I installed to transfer the weight to the foundation.
Do you do the foundation yourself? If so are the blocks sitting on plain dirt or is there drainage rock in place
I didn’t do the foundation, but the block is on a concretel footer 36” below grade.
Where are you located? Im watching because i need a back yard shed 12x14, I think? Some companies build them for you but i guess i have to clear the spot and put 5" of gravel over some landscape fabric. In a 12x16 rectangle. I hope they aren't depending on me to have it all square and level😢 any suggestions?
You can hire someone to clear the spot and add the gravel.
all and all about how much did it cost? im doing it myself as well and im looking to add something similar on my house
I think this was about $65k for the finished build.
The 2x10 floor joists, what are they resting on? It looks like 2x6 or 2x8 pressure treated plates?
2x8 PT plates
Can I ask how much this was to build I have a old porch that was turned into a room but it wasn’t built correctly so we have water damage I want to tear it down and do this we already have the concrete pad for the floor
I forget what the total cost was to the customer, but for an addition, you can figure $100/ft or more if you’re paying for the whole job.
Good job
Thanks
similar to what im trying to do
Building a Gable roof I already know half of the building span how do I know what is the correction height for the top of the ridge.
I lay out a rafter and then figure it out mathematically.
Before starting that job you have to check with your proctologist to see if you have to charge a “bust a nut rate” because it looks like you busted a nut 🌰 doing it. But great work, impressive!!
Nuts are still intact, but it wasn’t fun!
Yeah if you was working on my house. I'd be your (hey-boy/go-for) In high school we have a elective where we build a house. I loved it and wanted to do that full time. But I never cared for the other workers. Drunks druggies... But building something always appealed to me.
what pitch was this roof?
8/12
That WAS terrifying. My back hurt just watching you. I was kinda wondering why you don't have a helper...sometimes at least.
I don’t play well with others 😂
@@MyDIYAdventures Me neither! Hahaha. But you gotta take care of your back, man.
Well If I can ever figure out how to make money with this TH-cam thing, I could retire!😂
@@MyDIYAdventures those guys that mow may have it figured out....
What part are you in.
Midwest
@@MyDIYAdventures 1st time a you Tube person replys back. Thank you. Ur awesome... I'm Missouri. Thank you! U make work look so easy.
Those other guys are all jerks😂
