Vlog 3: ROOF FRAMING TO SHINGLING!

What happens here

Once the notches are cut, the rafters are installed on the main beams. This involves lifting each rafter into position, ensuring the birdsmouth cut sits correctly on the beam, and then securing it with nails using a nail gun. The process is repeated for all rafters, creating the skeletal structure of the roof.

Goal: Construct the roof's skeletal structure by installing all rafters.

Tools and materials

  • Ladders — Accessing elevated work areas for rafter installation
  • Nail Gun — Quickly and securely fastening rafters to beams
  • Rafters — Forming the slope and support for the roof covering
  • Safety Harness — Fall protection when working at heights
  • Nails — Securing rafters

Still on baby watch. Just waiting. Thought she'd be here by now, but she's not. So, I had everything planned out. So, I thought I was going to be out this week completely, but still waiting on the baby. So, they're good to go. They got everything. They They planned out everything as if I wasn't going to be here. So, they're good to go. They don't really need me here. They're going to frame up this roof. And we're going to get it shingled by the end of the week and then start working on some retaining wall stuff so that we can get the plumbers and electricians in here next week and tie up everything within the frame. So, we'll be working out here. They can work in there and keep it moving. So, after that, we can roll right into decking, get our inspections, and keep this thing moving. But so far, so good. Everything's going smooth, and we've been here less than 2 weeks, and we'll have a roof up here by the end of the week. So, all good. All good stuff. The red one. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah, the red one. Just don't blow the circuit. >> Two compressors. >> Yep. >> Yeah. We'll see. Two songs will >> y two compressors going today. Double time. Nick, tell us about that uh thing that you saw last night. Oh, I went to Longwood Gardens and they had a fountain show with lights and fire and music going to it. It was pretty amazing. >> And they had a fountain where water was coming up. There was flame at the top of the water. >> We'll put the video in here. >> I don't know how it >> I don't understand how that's possible, but >> they did it. >> It's pretty cool. >> Took them millions of dollars to do it, but they did it. When you first showed it to me, I'm like, I guess there's just like a flame up high and then I'm shooting water around it. That makes sense. That's okay. I can see that. But no, it's like a fountain >> and the flame goes up and down with the water. >> Sitting there watching it trying to think, how the heck do they do that? >> Long Gardens is pretty cool. If you're in uh the tri-state area, uh definitely check it out. But it's a testament that if you got enough money, you can do pretty much anything. >> Yeah. I'd probably do something else with it. >> I mean, I would I would get lost in all that land that he's got. There's just so much. And it's all set up all different ways. Like we didn't even look at like half of the stuff that was there cuz like you walk…
