When it come to roofing... the most important part is to first make sure your roof is straight and square. On larger buildings, there can be a ton of variables to deal with. In this episode, I show you an alternative way straighten your building and prep for roofing that is full proof. It's not a cheap tool...but if you want perfection and efficiency..as well as the ability to prep in the wind, it might be for you.

[tomcaines]

I love that no matter what happens you show us. You Sir are a man of integrity. Laser not do what you want, go old school!

I have worked construction on the side for 35 yrs, mostly remodel, standard construction, not really your kind, but man, gotta admit, i don't know crap! Learning so much, about so many things. Thanks guys!

I can't get enough of these build videos . I have to watch em all over and over again when I'm free to.

You could have easily left the footage out/edited it to your liking when the Stabila showed a problem, but you didn’t.
You told what was going on and how to adapt and overcome. Shows character. I’ve watched all of your videos. This is consistent with you.
Refreshing that you don’t hide the issues in your builds.

I started post frame in 1984 and worked in that field till 05. watching your vids makes me miss it.

[alberteinstein]

reliable, hard working, young help is hard to find these days.
Cheers....

Well, I've watched enough videos and have been impressed enough to know who I'm gonna have build my Barndo. I Like your style.

[redrum]

Use the skyjack or one of your other toys as the independent station for the stabilia. Gr8 videos, love watching when ppl are as passionate as you

First off just wanna say how much I really enjoy watching your videos. Your the only one (that I’ve seen anyways) that has a YouTube channel dedicated to post frame and I love it! I love post frame and everything about it. It has become a way of life for me. I eat, breath and sleep post frame! I love this career and watching your videos give me a whole new level of the self pride. I am a crew foreman for Walters buildings. Our main office is out of Allenton, Wisconsin but we have offices all over the north/ eastern United States. I work out of the lawrenceburg Kentucky office and have been with them for 6 years. But I’ve been doing post frame since I graduated high school 10 years ago. Keep up the videos man I love em. Not just the building videos but the tool videos too! Watching your videos and seeing someone else take as much pride in this industry as I do really motivates me to do more than I already do and inspires me to boost my confidence and become a better leader. I’m constantly posting my work on my fb and have really been wanting to post videos like you do as well but I can’t seem to adapt to the whole talking to the camera thing idk it just feels weird and after I watch a video of my self trying to do what you do in your videos I think I look stupid. Oh well maybe im not cut out for the video thing so I guess I’ll just stick with the pics. Anyways be good or be good at it and always, Be safe out there! Thanks again can’t wait to see your next video!

outstanding advice to building a garage

I saw that flaw in using the laser right away. Was so relieved when it dawned on you guys in time. But easy for me sitting here with not a million other things going on. Beautiful work.

Another one in the books! Good job gentlemen!

I digged the end of the video of the camera going thru the trusses, it looked professional!

Thanks for the tip on not nailing the end cuts together on the rafter end! Makes sense 2 nails is better then 4 and possibly blowing that end! I roofed for 3 years and never even thought of that lol...

[kickit]

I have watched tons of you tube videos on building shops. Your channel is the most informative by far! I am looking forward to the next segment! Keep up the excellent work!

[markpalmer]

Good stuff. Really educational to watch a pro figure out a solution.

[craigslist]

I love these videos! I'm too old to do this kind of work, but Kyle makes it look easy. 5 Stars on video editing, quality, educational, and entertaining. Thanks

[chuckh]

I like letting the fascia run wild then brace it from behind. Totally learned that from you and applied it to my garage doing my rafter ends and fascia. Very good tip.

[dougschmitii]

Thank you for the awesome video and all of the information on the difference processes!

[hermanverduijn]

we actually use the same laser to do the same thing, but leave it on the ground 2 1/2" offset from whatever we are straightening that way we just butt up the receiver to wall, fascia, etc. and the laser never moves. Awesome tool btw!

[sgsax]

Looks like an hour well-spent. Love seeing those dead-straight lines.
