  • Take it from a guy who has worked construction for over 35 years, Having the kids or anyone underneath a working area can become a terrible experience when something falls on their heads and sends them to the hospital.Believe me when I say I am no safety nazi but have witnessed it a few times and have changed my own ways because of it. You do nice work
  • @skyjim777
    Good job! Cute seeing your girls in the background. Girls always want to be with their dads no matter what he’s doing.
  • Im a contractor myself and i bring my kids to work as well. You are what a what a man should look like. Doing great.
  • You’re building, recording, droning, and dropping rafters by yourself that’s impressive man!
  • @tomcosta47
    I know how difficult it can be to work by yourself you're doing a great job
  • U are the MAN a one man Tornado roaring through this project I am Impressed shows it can be Done. Just Just watch those Precious Babys of yours!!!!!!!:washhands::washhands::washhands:
  • In the future, if you cut a pair of rafters prior to erecting the walls it's a lot easier to get them perfect. Just use a small piece of 2x scrap as ridge filler,alot easier at ground level. Old new England builder trick

    awesome vid thanks. Feels all to familiar to me. One guy juggling clamps, walking on a 2x with a nail gun. You will love the day you get the battery powered framing nailer...I got a piece of property in CO a few years back -- clean slate, nothing on it. I was thinking about going w/ trusses for the first build but after seeing what you did I think I'll do the same
  • Nice well done this video seems so clear i never had been able to see a video that shows how to build proof so easy thanks for teaching the world exactly what to do and how to do it good job.
  • Thanks for your service! Great job balancing a large project, life, kids and family in general. Good luck ahead.
  • @bigwatt5520
    It's obvious you had great treachers and no doubt your making them smile as you share with others. Keep up the great work, well done.
  • @krisashford
    The man is a "BEAST"....I have done projects by myself and it is crazy hard to get the work done and stay motivated. My favorite part is them little girls watching dad work and dad having his babies in his "feet". You are teaching us and them daughters will have high expectations from there husbands. Your so very blessed.

    Helpful video, my wife and I are taking on a 16’x25’ addition to our house and this helped quite a bit for tying the addition into the existing roof. Thanks
  • You should be proud. I learned a lot watching your video. I’m going to build a project this week that’s pretty likeness to it. Seeing how you made it working alone was inspiring: God blessed you buddy
  • I know how hard you do it by yourself, I done it before, but you did it an amazing job. Subscribed👍
  • @josealarcon3660
