You sound like a news reporter. I enjoyed watching 💁🏾‍♀️

wow, i saw knob and tube insulators.. it's refreshing to see someone who knows how to fix up a house as old as mine.. this video also helped me understand why this house and my gram's have no windows on one side 😅

[ameiliastinson]

I actually just bought a house that has the perfect Ceiling for this project. Lets just hope it goes smoothly as urs did. Great job. You gave me a lot to think about.

In the video, it appears the ceiling joists run between the gable ends, but in your diagram, you show them across the building, forming a triangle with the roof rafters. It would be helpful to provide an brief explanation why it was OK to remove the floor joists and not install collar ties. That is unusual for such most "stick built" roof structures.

[mannyechaluce]

I always thought those joist is to keep the rafters from pushing on the walls during load ( wind, weight), I think a load from the rafters will try to push the walls on either side

[BEvans]

If you get a large snowfall or a strong wind I hope it doesn't kick the walls out. You just removed what was holding the walls up in the event of a large amount of downward pressure.

[benkaminski]

Why were your ceiling joists running opposite to your rafters? Your rafter pitch thankfully looks like 12/12, snow load will be minimal.

Always thought of an open concept home no dry wall on the cielings all the wires, pipes, ac vents ran cleanly, putting like 6 big sunlights you would find at a gym, and only build the walls up where the room divide. Use some kind of foam insulator on the top.held by a net and paint it all white tbh and in rooms build a small loft above with storage and have a ladder where one can climb up. I think its better than having an attic and wasting so much material

[bwiseok]

I have a question. Because you used spray foam in the ceiling does that mean you did not have to have any ventilation of any kind up in the highest part of your ceiling?

How do I find/choose a structural engineer?

And I LOVE that chandelier!!!

[robbieedwardsayers]

We have a 6’11 tall weird modern British attic full of softwood beams and watertank and pipes for ventilation and stuff about 625 square feet built in 1993, I was thinking of converting the attic but I decided not because the crazy amount of beams crossing everywhere would be a good modern artifact. No I’m thinking about removing the ceiling panels to make a vaulted ceiling and using the existing fluffy insulation and mount it to the ceilings in like a box.

[MrShobar]

How many will breeze right past the part about hiring the registered professional engineer and "stamping" the drawings? Answer: Everyone.

[siding]

Looks great. I’d never go with what the building inspector says….go with what the architect and structural engineer say.

[Gaft]

What about the central air conditioning vents? What do you do with those in this case?

[NL-cjdg]

Hi, EU viewpoint. Don't you need an air pocket for both walls and roof? You just put insulation straight on the boards? The moisture trapped should surely rot the wood once condensation builds? How does it work?

I have 0 experience with sprayfoam though since its not allowed here.

[mbburry]

This is pretty much what I was thinking about doing. But my ceiling joist do run parallel, I think just because it was shorter boards that direction not because it is all that structural.
That said the people who built my house did a poor job nailing anything, but pulling out the ceiling I'd be able to reinforce the rafters alot easier, kinda difficult drawing through small attic.

And those boards yall cut in half could have been used, If not tall someone would have been happy to get some long pieces of lumber that would otherwise be trashed. But I suppose you probably have, reasonably, more important things to worry about than recycling wood.

[gman]

Wonder if I can something like this in a top floor condo with cathedral ceilings cause I have 2 lil windows jus like this and always wanted to expand the ceiling on go up in there

[CenterTree]

2:48 spray foam affects the neighbors, HOW???!!

[LadybugLuv]

My living and dining room are connected by a 4 or 5 inch thick (I'd say standard width) wall with an opening on the left and right sides as open door ways. The dining is vaulted. I want to take down the wall and vault the living room too! So the dining AND living room is vaulted! Can/Will you give a ballpark figure how long it took you and estimate total cost? Thanks so much! You made it look easy! 😆
