so one of the really big hurdles here on this job site is also one of the nice
things about this job site and that is the sand so the sand has been causing us
a little bit of a headache in a sense that it's very loose so when we're
driving our machinery over it our tires will just sit there and spin and then
they'll bury themselves and we've had to dig out our machinery multiple times
already but on the flip side it's not dirty to work in sand it's when it rains
it doesn't you know get mud all over everywhere but we kind of were at the
point where just we needed to do something and typically if we put down a
couple inches of dirt that just kind of locks in on the surface of the sand we
were hoping that was a little bit of moisture in the sand it was gonna hold
tight so we could put our machinery and honestly other than our telehandler
we've been having just a heck of a time or the skid loader with tracks getting
around site so what we're gonna do here is we're gonna try to work on our soffit
our overhangs get our tails on our fascia boards and get ready for a roof
steel because that should be showing up tomorrow morning and this will be the
first side that we put steel on well straighten it out everything will be
perfect here and that'll start to lock down this building so I'm excited for
that but what we got to do is put these mats down going up this hill to get into
the site with our scissor lift otherwise we'll never make it but I'm hoping that
the dirt that's up here on this hill will be locked in enough and that's sand
so we don't have to move those mats around anymore all right hopefully they
don't let us get up on top of this site here and get into that nice tight packed
dry dirt but we'll see cross your fingers
last build series if you guys were following along we talked about these
in-between or bevel boards and we always call them a bevel board but we never
actually beveled them the last job on that garage edition build series we did
bevel them and I forgot to show you guys exactly what I was talking about or
really just in general what a bevel board is so we're up here doing our
fascia our tails and putting all that framing in so that we can create our
two-foot overhang and people always ask me why don't we just do that on the
ground why don't we make our trusses already have our overhang out and it
just doesn't really work very efficiently because we need to
straighten out the building and anyway I've gone into that maybe there'll be a
future video but just take my word for it it would probably be quicker to do it
this way than to have them come with tails
would you agree Greg Greg don't even know he just agrees that's awesome but
anyway our bevel board so we've got we got these two by fours right here and
it's gonna come out here on the face of the column once we get our actual tails
on and you can see we've put a bevel on it I don't know if you can see that in
the video maybe it will focus maybe it won't but we put a 4-12 bevel on it that
way when our steel comes down on top of our purlins it sits nice and flat here
versus we used to run it just with a regular two by and it worked fine but it
kind of gave a little bit of a dimple right here we just thought you know what
it doesn't take a whole lot of time to run it through the table saw and make a
bevel board so we did it and I think we're gonna do that way for now on
because it's so easy the next thing we'll be doing our fascia with a bevel
which will to figure that out small steps guys you can't do it all once you
keep learning and whatever your foot Oh like a friggin glove like the songs
hand that babble is so money
all right so really fascia is pretty simple we're just gonna tack those tails
on with 60 penny nails now we're gonna go ahead and pre-drill those set these
ring shapes 60 pennies and that's going to give us our uplift strength and then
we're just gonna put our two by out here for our sub fascia our in-betweener
board we have now beveled and that'll create our two-foot overhang
now that was almost a big big what I can't hear you it's too windy up here
why are we always building when it has to be the most windiest weather possible
the sunshine in it's warm outside but the wind is just ridiculous so hopefully
you guys are hearing me maybe you don't care actually so I'm just gonna get back
to work luckily we saved the camera from falling off the scissor lift safety
first guys I hope hope that doesn't happen again but we're putting our end
fascia on right now and we always try to utilize you know you guys always ask me
you guys's lumber always looks pretty decent well we do get crappy lumber in a
sense that it's not really ideal for our wall Gertz or a place where we want nice
straight crisp lines but what we can do is utilize that lumber here on our end
fascia we've got a connection point every two foot into our purlins and that
kind of gives us a place to take out any twists and turns or any you know bows in
the lumber we use it here on our end fascia so that's what we're doing right
now
was amazing
I love it
thirty what was they wanted 32 eight nummy so it's perfect and we haven't
even moved anything yeah that doesn't happen often but Lex when it does yeah
we got to move some move some ends but but that means our peak is at least
square and our fascia straight we've already straightened that out so now all
we got to do is get some chains on our end wall straighten that and we're ready
to put roof on this building all right Greg it looks like right there on the
column you're gonna bring it back yeah and then about yeah and then about four
purlins from the peak we need to bring to the north but hey Zach we need to
make sure that that peak is locked tight and then we'll double check our well
double check our square again Greg not often do we have a building of this size
that we don't have to do anything to but it's always nice when you know certain
aspects of the build are perfect when you go to start you know squaring things
up straightening it out because it can take a lot of time to make sure
everything is exact but I will say that that time is time well spent so don't be
afraid to double-check measurements pull another tape measure somewhere or a
level to make sure things are plumb because as you're installing your steel
later on it will save you a lot of effort and time in the future promise
you that Oh money I'd run with that that's ready to rough
all right now we've got our end wall perfectly straight well I mean perfect
is a term we don't want to throw around too loosely but in our world that's
pretty darn perfect and now we can start roofing from this side and any anything
that's potentially out of place when we get to the other end we'll have to
correct when we get there
our even footage here on this so 37 well wouldn't you know what I swear this is
how our year has gone here and that is every time we go to do something the
weather decides to change it's like I would say most people would call this a
gorgeous day and I would also but when you're installing 28 foot almost 28 foot
rough steel sheets you gotta think safety and it's just not
worth it we got these first three sheets up it's kind of a nice little set we can
lock in our end make sure it doesn't move on us between today and tomorrow
it's supposed to get about five miles an hour faster here as the day progresses
pretty unpredictable so we're not gonna risk it we're gonna go probably get a
bite to eat and start working on some soffit some fascia you know the stuff
that really is easiest work but it really needs to get done two kickers
bracing all the miscellaneous stuff I feel like that's all we ever do we go to
start something and the weather forces us to change it but that's okay as long
as we're doing productive work and we can work I'm okay with it
man if you can't tell it has just been brutally windy again today here and you
know it just really kills production but I feel like we're still getting some
good stuff done the soffit our facial was actually bent wrong what's that
happens once in a while you know everybody makes mistakes I don't get
bent out of shape over it I actually I kind of like those things because it
reassures me why I use the supplier's I do because they take care of it
lickety-split and they will take care of it so you know you could look around for
that perfect supplier that perfect material but the fact remains that
nothing's ever perfect and you're never going to find that person because we all
are human and make mistakes but what you really should look for is a supplier or
manufacturer that is willing to sacrifice and do what is necessary to
take care of those mistakes when they're made and that's what I've found with ABC
supply which is my main supplier and metal sales who is my actual metal
manufacturer both of them they bend over backwards when I need them to make
things happen so we'll get this right here this facial trim will get that
remade sent out and no worries we won't lose any sleep over it
