In episode 6 of our Martha's Vineyard series, Gaius & the Shelter crew get back to a bit of timber framing, with the addition of two covered entries to the SIP-enclosed 24' x 36' main structure.
In the next episode (only two more left!), we will be adding windows and doors, showing you how we prepare the SIP panels for the electrical wiring, and see the client's reaction to the finished project!

Amazing! We lost this type of technology a half century ago. Also gone are those thick timbers

I liked the thought how the entrance gives you a sense of what is inside.

Thank you for watching!

The eye roll after "we've peaked" gave me a good chuckle. Might as well have a good sense of humor while you're working hard. 🤣

Can't imagine the amount of GRKs you guys use👍

you shared this today , Nov. 27, 2021, but it sure wasn't filmed today ! Nasty wet and cold here. But interesting video and i'm interested to go back and look at the whole process

I know you're not there yet but in Tahoe I was a cabinet installer on these SIP houses. I HATED trying to make my cabinet screws not spin in that OSB. If a screw spun my conscious gets the best of me and I have to correct it somehow usually by more screws but I don't like my cabinets looking peppered with screws from the inside either. I only imagine some fatty grabbing the cabinet door to heave herself up on the counter and the cabinets coming down like dominos. This is for sure where you need a fat course threaded screw to properly hold to the OSB because those skinny cabinet screw will spin in OSB like it was spinning in butter. Even now I don't care for those skinny cabinet screws that take a T15 bit because they spin in a stud pretty easily as well.

Beautiful. I'm curious how come the Gable roof structure has no wind braces going across the front? Does the Gable roof take care of the wobble or will the construction underneath take care of that?

Do you any additional details on how the the deck for the porch comes together? We’re building a deck with a timber framed covered portion and I’m trying understand my options for building the deck first vs. the timber frame first.

[@LewisEGilbert]

do you draw bore the pegs on the large posts?

[@JakeRichardsong]

What is the approx. cost of the structure?

[@sgtmaj2705]

Will carpenter bees bore into the wood you use?

[@autonomous_collective]

Great question...

[@maddawgnoll]

I think the treatment or finish they use help prevent that. But it's nearly impossible to keep em out unless you're vigilant and do your part of preventive maintenance.

[@autonomous_collective]

Longer video's plz.....

[@narcisolara2992]

How much does a timber frame home cost? Let's say it's 1,500 sq ft
