welcome back to the channel everybody this is Kyle and we've got a 60 by 120
farm shop full time-lapse build for you guys the trusses are just now getting
dropped off and this is day one of framing make sure if you haven't you hit
that subscribe button so you follow along with the channel but we're gonna
get into this with building our walls you've seen us do this many times I
recommend highly that if you're building a structure and do as much work on the
ground it's safer it's easier you'll be more efficient and probably a lot more
accurate for us once we build all these walls we're gonna stand them with our
machinery this is the JCB Telus kit I've had great luck with it so far this
season but once it's up there we use that stimula plate level make sure it's
as plumb as possible and then we go ahead and fasten those wall posts right
to our Midwest perma columns I'm always getting questions about those brackets
you can buy them Midwest per McCown if you go ahead and mention my name or
rural renovators or our buildings they're gonna throw you a discount and
they'll ship them directly to you
man that was a one heck of a first day you can't ask for a whole lot more but
man on our second day we sure get hit in the face with a pretty horrible truth
here and that has been our trusses we're not made to the correct dimension so
you'll see us put our first one up we realize it and then we go ahead and take
it down but fear not our supplier got right on it and we were able to get new
trusses within less than a week actually I think ended up being about four days
so here they are coming back to drop off the new ones which were made to spec and
good and we just helped them go ahead and load up the old ones they took them
out of there I don't know what they did with them but thankfully we had that JCB
telehandler there otherwise it might have been quite difficult but no rest
were right into installing our trusses a key thing here is that telehandler once
we get into that 60 wide 18 foot tall building it's definitely a lot easier
with a telehandler than it is with our skid loader another thing is obviously
having those scissor lifts I spent quite a bit of money to invest in those
scissor lifts but they provide us the ability to work out of them instead of
up on the trusses where it's a lot less safe
one thing that's pretty cool about this project is it's kind of first for us
we've never done a 40-foot overhead door opening we've we've done 40-foot Hydra
swings but never a sectional overhead so we've got this custom eye beam it's a
six and a half by 21 and a half 55 pound eye beam and it goes up pretty easy when
you've got the right machinery but it is by far the largest opening I've ever had
to do on a building of this size so it's pretty cool to be able to do this and I
can't wait to share with you guys some pictures of the door when it's up make
sure you're following along on the Instagram feed at our our buildings and
I'll definitely post some updates probably over that way because at the
end of this video I don't have the overhead doors installed at this point
I went ahead and left this clip in here just because I wanted to show you guys
all these chains those are what is holding up our building while we're
installing all of these trusses and they are a key component to us making strong
straight buildings that will stand up to the weather while we're in the process
of constructing
it's always a sad day when we finish up trusting because honestly that's
probably my favorite part of the job but take a look at these views and the
clouds just rolling through
sometimes I wonder if I'm just weird or what but all of the lines and the
geometry and just kind of the overall view of that frame when it's all kind of
put together and I just find it so fascinating and something about all the
lines the shapes I don't know maybe maybe I'm crazy but drop me a comment
down below guys if you share the same I guess love for the art of the framing
it's just by far my favorite part as you can see we really didn't get any rest we
had a little bit of snow come in at the beginning of the job and we just had
another snowfall so we went from pretty decent weather to pretty crummy weather
not only is it cold we got snow but the wind is blowing but we fight through it
we start doing all of our soffit and facia and we try to prep for roofing
man we give pretty lucky because today we came to the job site and even though
the clouds are moving it was fairly calm the wind was in the right direction and
we didn't waste any time we got right to putting up our steel so what you're
seeing here is all in one day we're able to get the east side of the roof
installed which is what we're on right now and we get to the west side and get
almost half of the roof done before we have to call it a day I just got a
little bit too dark and we knew we weren't gonna be able to get too much
more installed before we got all screws in and I don't like to leave a lot of
steel up without the screws in it
is that not a killer view I just love that
so now that the roof is installed we know our building isn't really going
anywhere we leave those chains up but we more or less use them to make sure that
our building stays straight and true and on everything stays plumb so that we can
start working on our wall finishes now for us this house wrap is really cool
for two reasons one because I mean we're pretty fortunate we get our logo on it
and obviously if you're interested in that kimberly-clark will print you your
logo you just have to buy one pail at a time and we use house wrap mainly as an
air barrier not a moisture barrier obviously it's gonna help us with that
but it's so important for us especially out here in the middle of the Midwest we
got all this open ground and the wind is always blowing it truly helps with the
efficiency of your building and it's just so important for us and we
try to use it on every job that's possible
one thing I always try to do is get color matched doors and windows so right
here you'll see we've got the color matched ply code or an assignment in
window and this job actually I talked to the client into using some windows I
just think it's a very important thing to do especially a building of this size
you know windows are fairly cheap and I love the windows up high at the eave a
let a lot of light in but you don't have to worry about the security of people
breaking into your shop so it's kind of a win-win I believe
now I know you're probably asking about the house rabbit why don't we install it
up in the gables basically because we're using it as an air barrier and I'm
trying to prevent hair from penetrating into our heated area of the building
which is the four walls and the ceiling in this building so I'm not really too
concerned with a little bit of air leak into my attic space one thing is true
about the Midwest this time of year you get some beautiful sunsets but man is it
tough to work a full day because it's dark before five o'clock
after we wrapped up some interior bracing that had to be installed in the
trusses which is gonna be a permanent bracing we got right into the ceiling
and debride busted our tails on this day because we had to install this entire
ceiling as there were some 60 mile an hour winds headed the next day and we
knew that the ceiling would add a ton of rigidity and strength and allow the air
to basically come in one door and go out the other without going up into the roof
but this was a lot of work it was a monster ceiling and it was really just a
team effort and everybody pulled their weight and did a great job you'll see
here that we worked into the night a couple hours but we got it done and that
was the important thing
one thing I always do is order some flat coil from metal sales manufacturing
which is our metal supplier and that's gonna be color matched perfectly to our
spiel on the interior and that's we can wrap all of our door jams and headers
and it just really finishes things off and I know that it's important to do
before that door is installed because it's never going to be done later here
you can see I'm cutting open the attic access which we framed in prior to the
steel ceiling and that's really just so the insulator can get up there otherwise
you're never gonna get up there now you can really see the size of that opening
it's monster and I really am glad that you guys hung out with me for just a
little bit watch my video and really I'm just looking to hopefully you know maybe
inspire somebody to do a project educate somebody that's looking to learn
something or hey maybe you're just looking for entertainment whatever it is
