RENER CONTRUCTION - VAULTED CEILINGS

I’m a still active 70 year old carpenter-builder. Excellent video. Every you say here is perfect and correct, including the part about following a structural (Architect-engineering, licensed) drawing. Thank you.

My advice as a remodeling contractor that was licensed since 1986 working in the Portland OR area. Hire a good engineer. Exactly follow his plans. DON'T GET THE CITY INVOLVED.

Wow, this video is so thorough and you are so articulate explaining the transformation of a vaulted ceiling. Thank you!

“I keep revisiting this video, even though I watched it a long time ago. Hoping for more content like this to be uploaded!” 😊

Crazy how much has changed in 9 years. Great information though, well done sir!

[ShanonT]

Excellent facts and tips!! Please make more videos. I'm sure there are many, many more tips you could give. This information will save many people money and problems. Thank you so much!

Just to update, there are now LED recessed lights that would easily fit 2x4 framing.

OMG fabulous video. I've been researching how to do this for a year!

Do you have anymore videos ? Would have been sweet to see how you installed the beams

I'm preparing to change my home ceiling to high ceilings. I have I believe 6 inch for my existing rafters but the older thick wood. If I added 8 inch to cheek the original will I be adding weight to my roof. I mean I imagine if I am taking off the old heavy plaster sandwich with wire it's a plus. I only plan about living room and kitchen to open wall and leaving an attic room on top it the two 10 foot rooms it's a 30 ×20 tiny house. Seeing this video I could add a nice fancy finished rafter in the center for support and style. But any tips would be appreciated 👍

wire too close to roof sheathing, that would be a risk for nail puncture during the next roofing work

Excellent work and nice video. I did read that you do not need an air gap or even a ridge vent on your roof if you use spray insulation to fill the entire bay between your rafters, do you know if that is true? This would eliminate the need for a gap behind your rigid insulation. But you would probably know better than me. Nice work sir!

[justinc]

nice work, now a video on changing the bulbs :)

[mikepeek]

Good analogy. However, the insulation for our area is R-38 code. Therefore, it's better to have spray foam. But, not against the under side of the roof. You also said to leave a space between insulation and the under side of the roof decking. How much ???
Be specific. The space or gap you r looking at is not enough ventilation. best way to solve the problem of venting and insulation and rafter size is
Build built-in vents. That is, allow as much as 4 to 6 inch space between the back side of the roof decking and the covering for the vent. Then, install a retrofit blower to keep this area circulating.
Ok. Way over the top ??
I get it. But, it solves several problems. Plenty of room or space to eject hot air or condensation. Them spray foam since higher density than the rigid foam boards he is using. But spray it against the new underside of the interior of panels for inside.
Hope that helps

[ryanspence]

this is a good informative video! how come you don't have anymore videos since this one? this is good stuff

[moseszarnighian]

Does spray insulation works better or as good as these insulation that you introduced?

Please give a realistic cost of this project?
