Video Transcript
in the last episode we finished the
stucco on the lower level and completed
the reciprocal roof fascia on Shae's
earthbag bedroom
[music]
it's time to install
the jack rafters
these go in between the
main rafters to complete our framing
[music]
we're not really here
we're actually aliens
tin foil hats
I'm putting in our cross bracing now
beginning to run some more rafters down
[music]
I got it
[music]
shovel you can help so what's gonna help
you put the have nice oh we have a
winner my dad dropped fall yeah how
about one of the studio size buildings
for my shot the circle makes so much
more sense you think about it to the
working area would be the same distance
away from the car left no matter which
way you go
two doors here could be a garage door
and then the roof is tall enough to lift
in the center for a car I mean if you
didn't want a lot of shop
your tables in the center or something
you know be real nice yeah definitely
yeah little something on your face there
diesel all right we're just bagging up
to this so it's flat trying to make this
flat so that our sheen will go up to it
this is how to be level across here when
we get the bags
stamped and ready and then that will
kind of act like the birds block that
you typically put in a house
that only took us a half hour to do this
guy's all right I'm just cutting the
tops of these jacks off so that we can
finish up the roof and put some more
Jack's in between I'm finishing up the
bard rafter here and a couple little
fillings on the on the roof there to
hold up those like I can fall and get
back up again
can I fall on you body caps even he can
get back up he can get back up again
I'll just take him up a lot waters
I thought your video was broken
was a bad idea
now I have to I have to walk back
now and then those three bays need
between errs that we're doing do it
right one right here that up there and
you want to notch these and that's those
yeah this is all kind of as you go kind
of a deal because this so he can stick
frame it I'm filming and I'm trying to
get diesel to look at me so I can get a
fun shot and I cannot get him to do it
he is so focused on Garen people diesel
hey Dean so diesel diesel you just saw a
loyal to Garrett know the food all right
I could have screamed out if he still
would not have looked away from Garrett
you're gonna wait it's row
have you gotten rid of your nemesis my
head's caved in my wife would let me cut
that branch off Halloween is just around
the corner so last Wednesday's podcast
we carve some pumpkins for the holiday
we just finished our weekly podcast we
carved these magnificent pumpkins really
long teeth in the front kind of the
things I really like that look and then
there's brain kind of poking out of the
side of it and then I saw someone build
the pumpkin eyes where they had the
eyeball inside of there and I thought oh
that's really cool so I decided to do
something like that to I really wanted
to win it wasn't really a contest at the
time and I was gonna draw another eye
but Shea said oh is that a cyclops all
right I should make it a cyclops so it
was kind of spur the moment kind of
thing
vote for mine because it has one eyes
that's my only vote just vote just do it
wine and cheese
I was looking at different types of
pumpkins and other things that people
had done and I found I found one I
really liked so I used that as a
reference
a hungry pumpkin it's a hungry pumpkin
why would they be cocky when my pumpkin
is clearly superior I wouldn't ask you
to vote for me I'll tell you to go I'm
kidding but I'm not kidding
but I'm kidding but I'm not an hour or
two before the stream started Garin
started going into serious you know
expert gonna research a good design and
I felt like I had to compete so I also
did a little bit of digging you couldn't
really tell that it was a tongue at the
bottom I cut its tongue up but I
slightly regret my decision it's kind of
mean but it's Halloween so we're good
you can vote for one of the for pumpkins
down below we'll be announcing the
winner on Halloween via our Twitter
Instagram Facebook and patreon page if
you have a pumpkin carving you'd like to
show us please tag us on one of our
social sites we'd love to see it
happy Halloween and yes I wore this hat
specifically for that last line Maine
Raptors hold most of the weight and then
the jack rafters take their support from
the Maine Raptors in the south but they
just take some time to cut them all in
and gonna have cross pieces and pieces
to come down to them
okay take this back up the hill make it
easier for both again then give me a top
here and a bottom the segments are
talking about where I should put what in
my room thinking about talking that's
right up your alley
that was a really good comeback except
it was a teeny bit late it was oh wow
geez every time we try to talk
there's complex to get the main Raptors
in as far as the angles it's even more
complex to do the jack rafters because
you're dealing with lots of compound
everything's are compounding everything
is a individual custom cut they'll tap
in tap in just Shay's roof shake and
have a few weeks question exactly
yeah it was too short dad but about
doing a lot of Inez is everything is so
complicated on bevels and angles and
links I was I was constantly off had cut
this thing like two maybe three times to
to get it to fit correctly two inches
awesome never make it two inch mistake
twice it was still too short what are
you doing I was teasing dad because he
kept making the wrong cuts that it was
exactly an inch and a half short every
time he caught it keep going
I think it's because we just throw it to
before it show
alright anyway we get messed up because
it's not normally in these their top
measurements longer than your body
measurements yeah in this case we're not
looking good in your mind's eye I'm
trying to figure out what what I want
where that it's starting to take a lot
of shape perfect we got we're running
out of bags getting down to the bottom
of the barrel and bad bottom of the
barrel on the dirt this didn't come out
just perfect just the amount of
resources we need I don't know
