40x56 Large Garage Full Time-Lapse with Wrap around Porch

Welcome back to the channel. Today's

time

lapse

video will be for a 40 by 56 that we built this spring and we started it right after a major rain event and our construction site was pretty much built with some gravel so there was some water. We filled this site as soon as we dug our holes, it went into those holes and all that water had to be pumped out and some of it kept coming in, so we took it out with concrete, but it's not much concrete. push the water out, we have all the supports ready and we are ready to start building.

The first thing we're going to do is go around with our Stabila 350 rotating laser and check all of our ratings so we can transfer that rating mark to our columns. perfectly with a story post and make up all of our columns now, when I say makeup, we're not actually making them, we're just cutting them to the right size, they come from Ohio Timberland and then we can start installing all Our wall goes up, as you can see, when doing it on the ground, it is the most efficient: do not climb and can be very precise. Make sure all the details are done correctly and then we will bring our machinery and lift it.

You've probably seen us do it before. If not, there are many other videos here on this channel that you can watch. Make sure you do so if you're interested and hit the subscribe button too if you think it's something you're interested in. I'd like to see more, but as you can see on the first day, we've finished all the framing for our main walls, so first thing on the second day we're ready to start putting them up. Kubota makes it pretty easy. great capacity with that tele-boom from Cheyenne Machining or Cheyenne Tooling. I'm not sure we like that thing, so we can do about 56 feet of wall at a

time

, that's why we were able to do that back wall in one go, it's 56 feet long. and really what limits us is the strength of the frame, we don't want to bend it too much and once all our main walls are up, we go to the corners and connect all our corners, always making sure that Our side walls are our e walls, they occupy the entire dimension of the building and then our ends are cut off an inch and a half and that's what creates the perfect dimension around our building.

Here we are continually putting up some more walls. Once all of our walls are up and secured, we go ahead and start with a commission and for this job, you can see, we have that door that is not framed yet, we can go in and out of the building, but once we have this first set of beams. up uh and usually a set for us is whatever length our strap is so with 18 foot straps we can lift two lengths of beams before we have to build this overhead door so we're going to have that header ready it's a double two. at twelve inside and out then we have to work on the inside through that door, it gets a little cumbersome but fortunately once again with that kubota and the cheyenne tele-boom we can do this quite easily and we have thought we have Found a way to maneuver it so we can hang the beams from the inside, as long as we can get them inside the doorway, but we're going to make quick work of these beams here, still on the first day of framing, we have all these walls. all these beams up and we're going to finish the day by completing this whole main structure, which is a big day for a 56.

Now the next day we got to work and a little bit of snow fell because remember this. It's early spring, so we had one of those horrible spring snowfalls, but we used it to set up all of our overhangs and set up our leveling board so we could get this great footage with the drone flying across the frame. I love good framing and I'll go ahead and stop talking and let you guys look at all those lines and angles and symmetry, notice how the snow has been melting into mud, but the next day we'll get ready to move on and finish the framing that we wanted to put. normally we start putting in the roof steel because that's really going to set the diaphragm strength of the building, but since it was too windy today, we opted to go ahead and start getting all our you know. incidental frame our window frames door frames to walk right now here we are doing the

porch

frame we are installing headers so we can install a

porch

on this building that will look great to start a new day and once again you can see that wind in the trees we just couldn't do the roof so we opted to do some soffit fascias and some base molding before deciding the wind was too much and we left, but the next day was beautiful so we continued with our steel roof and We made quick work of it, we knew if the wind picked up we wouldn't be able to do this and you always have to be safe and smart so we tried to do it on the optimal days, you can see them all. those chains hold the building exactly where we want it until we can put the steel roof on and once that's done we know the building isn't going anywhere so this is just part of living in the midwest in the spring one day, and the next one is nice.

One day you wake up to four inches of snow on a newly installed roof which means it's going to be a complete disaster, it's beautiful right now but as you'll see when we start installing the house

wrap

on the side walls and we let's put on the Waynes coat and start fixing our windows, it's good to work on it initially but it's going to turn into mud and mud and that's just the beginning and I'm not a pessimistic guy but you'll see the snow will start to melt. roof creating a nice little drip that will be continuous throughout the day, but anyway we're going to make the most of it and we're going to start doing all these details and this is when the building will really start to take shape. pretty quick now that we have the base molding that we did the other day, we can install Wayne's coat in no time, we have windows installed, we have window molding that is being cut right now and that's going to We all get hands on to the job site so we can begin installing our lateral steel.

One thing about post framing is that with using house

wrap

there is really no siding to install, so if it gets windy again it really affects how it is installed. Fortunately, it is a fairly quiet place. day for us now this is a new day and you can see what the snow left us since a lot of mud has melted and I'm not complaining luckily we have these mats where you can see the scissor lift running above and without they couldn't get this wall down and I'm sorry we don't use ladders because honestly they're not efficient so I'd rather move mats a couple of times a day and use my machinery than have to transport them. stairs around and deal with the dirt and mud, but we can finish this wall, which is awesome, and then go back to the front which has some gravel.

You can see we're lifting the steel on this

garage

door. We have that one-piece flashing molding that we custom bent with metal sails for ourselves and it really provides a nice clean detail on our doors and then it comes to the back wall, which is really messy and you can't see it. Here in the video, but it was bad, the mats were getting stuck in the mud and we almost had to use machinery just to get them out, so we were smart and fell once and once, just one thing to keep in mind is that all this.

The side steel will be installed in a day, so we are trying very hard, especially dealing with all the mud and moving the mats, but obviously the machinery makes a big difference and our goal here is to close it completely so that the insulators can appear, I think they're going to show up the next day to insulate all of our walls, so we're going to finish this outside and we're going to dig out the porch pillars, we're putting it in right now to get them. We dug and then we're going to pour them so we can be prepared for building our porch.

I have Zach inside the building right now. He is preparing for installation. He is making all of our attic air deflectors, making sure our vents are properly vented and then we put on the ridge cap and our concrete truck appears once again. We have water coming through the holes now that the concrete is ready, let's go ahead and install our pedestrian doors. These are Plyco 92 series doors and I. like those because they are completely thermally broken, meaning the slab and jamb have no metal to metal connections inside and out, there is a gasket that will help prevent any heat transfer from inside to outside heat transfer and then we will move on. and we start working on our interior, we have that r19 fiberglass bat on the walls and then we're going to use a four mil vapor barrier and then we're going to frame our horizontal wall studs and we do that because that allows us to keep that bay completely.

full

of insulation instead of having a bunch of thermal bridges with studs every 16 inches on center and that's why a post frame is so efficient once it's done we can start putting our roof up now people always comment on Why do you spend so much time insulating your walls when all you do is put steel in your ceilings, that's because I don't insulate my ceilings.

I have a subcontractor that does it when we are done with our steel roof. I will have them come and they will put all that insulation on the roof so don't worry there will be a blown r38 fiberglass on the roof and we also make quick work of this steel on our roof because with the right equipment which is that mega platform, and a little knowledge. -How the roof goes away pretty quickly and we go straight to installing our steel wall. Now one thing you're going to notice is that we popped out the windows. Because? Because I really wasn't planning on going that far today, so I did.

I don't have all the window dressings available for us to use, although it smells bad that I don't have them available, it is what it is and we'll come back and do it later, but I was outside getting all of our 6x6 cedar posts ready. and then the kids came out and gave me a hand to get everyone up, settled in, and settled. We're using some grk 3 8 12 inch delays to hook everything up so I know people always ask me that question and we're just asking you. I know basically a direct connection that goes from top to bottom.

Honestly, I think it's pretty strong. I know there are many different ways to do it and then I will hand cut all my beams and make our porch purlins just like we do our main frame. strap on top, but when I get to that hip I always dye them now. I will say that if you look very closely you will see hangers on everything. I probably don't show it very well in the video, but we do put hangers. on all of these connection points just to make sure it's not going anywhere and we're coating with 5 8 osb sheathing.

I like that because a half inch or less doesn't hold the screws very well, whether we're using something titanium or not. I don't know what they call that type of subfloor, but Greg is working on the porch roof underneath, while Zach and I work on the details of the roof, I will say the porches are a lot of work, there's a lot of detail work, no it is. just you know, cut and dry, like building the mainframe and all that goes pretty fast, but I always say the devil is in the details, I mean, I'm not saying a lot of people say that and it's very true if you take the time. .

You do the best you can on familiar parts of the building like the porch, that's what's going to really stand out, that's what people are going to notice and that's where I think you should spend the most time, you should always spend it, you know. the most you can allow me to spend on each detail because I think they all matter but overall I like to make sure that that porch shines and is a staple in the project as you can see now we have the interior trim so I'm going back to get all of that done so the guys can come behind me and install the steel around them.

What I'm using is a composite jamb extension board around all the windows and we like that instead of a steel jamb extension because I think it holds up better, looks cleaner and is more durable, it's certainly very nice to see this space come together, all the steel is installed, it's a nice bright space and it's going to be a great workspace for our client and it's going to be great. bright, super clean and obviously maintenance free with the metal finishes so one thing you will notice here as I install our ceiling panels on this porch is that there is some wood showing and that is because I forgot the piece of trim that goes over there. uh it's a gutter drip or e-flash or whatever you want to call it, it doesn't matter what you call it, I forgot so I'll go back and install that at a later date.

We have corner molding to install. I like to try to make them look like one piece.I made a video about it. Look at it. It's on my channel under the tips and tricks. We also have a piece of exterior corner gable molding here that I'm installing. and I'm going to cut that out specifically so that our gutter goes up there and looks nice and clean. I know some people have asked me why they stick out beyond our ceiling and that's why I just don't do it. install gutter so you don't normally see that happening now this is usually one of my favorite parts of the job and I think it's important not only because we are vain and need to see our names on a building but because we are proud of what we did and we want to make sure we put our signature on it so other people know that we're proud of what we did and we're willing and wanting to put our names on it and I think that's important.

Now this footage is not us. This is my door installer. Rainer Door Authority. Uh Raider Garage doors, I've been using them for a long time, great doors, great service, I've had very good luck with them and they've always taken care of me, so if you're looking for doors, I don't make any money on them. Check them out at the Rainer door and we are using a tm-200 so it is a foam door, it has a high r value, good structural integrity and an overall good performance door and we have had very good luck with them and your service, so Rainer Door, that's what's happening here once again.

I do not do it. I pay it to a subcontractor. Now I know I'll probably get asked this a couple of times, so I'll try to answer what's up with that big one. space at the bottom of the building while I install this hip cap here, I'll explain it somehow, so this workplace wasn't necessarily ready for us, but we were ready for it, so we went ahead and started building despite that it wasn't. Everything is perfectly level and that just means that after the job is done, all of that will be completed and then concrete will be poured inside, so don't fear, everything will be fixed and that is quite common in the postal sector.

You can't build a frame with a perfect slope because then it would be almost impossible to place the leveling board, so we always have to place it a few inches down, usually four to six inches below the finished floor, that way we can make our work and then all the finishing can be done, the concrete can be poured and then everything will be sealed perfectly, but I have Greg here aligning my hip cap making sure it's perfect and straight. I don't want to kick her. I want it to fit perfectly from the tip of the hip to the corner of the building and I'm putting in some through screws.

It's not a braless system, but it works pretty well. It looks good and I figure there's no reason to have braless hips when the building has exposed bras and there you have it, that's the building. I came back and put those knee pads on the porch. I couldn't film it, I'm sorry, but I'm proud of it, I hope you enjoyed it and we did. I'll catch you in the next one.
