Commercial drywall guy here. I forgot more than most know about metal framing, gypsum, and acoustical. You just saved me an entire day of work. Thanks.

Excellent video and presentation. I really liked that you showed the fasteners and location using the colors. This will help lots of people.

I love how you included the little details, such as where and how many fasteners you use. Thank you sir! Few people show that.

You can always tell when someone is making their own project. The extra care and "over engineering" is always there. I tend to do the same thing for my builds. :)

Excellent video! No wasted words. Very clear. Concise. Just great!

Thank you. That’s the easiest way I’ve seen to do gable overhangs before the roof sheathing is installed. I was taught to put the barge rafters & blocking on after the roof sheathing was laid, and that’s the absolute hardest way to do it. I’ll be doing it this way moving forward.

Thank you so much for taking the time to explain any details. I love how you show what type of nails and screws, and how you nailed every every single piece of wood. One of the best videos ever you deserve a #super thumbs up.

Great writing. Great shots. Great presentation. You've made a topic that mystified me very clear.

This is the best most helpful video I've ever watched about any construction. Thank you!!

This is a good video. You gave me some ideas and good advice. Now if it could just stop raining outside.

Watch a lot of these framing videos. your pace and detail is one of the best. good job.

I really appreciate your video. This is exactly what I need to do on an existing roof and I was wondering how to go about it. Your meticulous attention to detail in making the video makes it easy to see what you did.

very good way to explain spicily when you mention inch by inch with extra animations

[coreyperez]

BY FAR! This is the best and most descriptive video I've seen! Thanks for the amazing detail and in-depth description regarding the theory/reason for your actions!

Thank you. I have bookmarked your video presentation to hold on to it for more reviewing as I prep for an extension build in the near future. Well done. I certainly deeply appreciate the visuals you did with colours to show where you nailed and screwed and what size screws you did. Paying attention to detail even when editing your video for viewers! Wow!👍💯 ☺🇨🇦🍁

Very helpful video. You have alleviated my anxiety. Thanks

[jeffmykytiuk]

Thank-you for that video. Just what I needed. I have a shed with roof rafters that do NOT extend past the shed walls- (I know!) I couldn't figure out how I could build an overhang that would not sag over time. The support at the peak answers that question.

Thank god for the helper willing to climb a ladder and look up
