In episode 4 Building the BEST House, we finish overhang framing and start installing our LP TechShield Radiant Barrier Sheathing. Once we have Sheathed thru the valley area, I show you our method to framing a valley.
This house will have a plan available on the plan page here when fully updated. so check it out as well as other RR Building Plans

In building the BEST House, my goal is to build an energy efficient, high quality home that the general public could afford. There is a lot of building on the internet done and shown that most people will never be able to afford. Post frame is a great option to make it possible for all
That 2×12 did everything just shy of solving world hunger.
Awsome. Merry Xmas
Purlins have up and down sheathing, rafters get side to side sheathing. Get it.
Solar panels probably have the same effect as the tech shield……Hmmm?
In warmer/hotter climates, I suspect it would be better to flip the tech shield sheets over (shiny side up) and run spacer strips across for an air gap under the metal roof so that the OSB itself stays cooler. I think shiny treatments like that work better to reflect heat toward the shiny side but need an airgap to do that. It's less effective at preventing heat from being emitted from the back side because there's no air gap between the emitter (OSB) and the reflective material.
Is the Makita track saw as nice as the Festool? How about the cost?
Kyle; where is your safety line when you bag your workman about safety.
Little bit confused but everything I have seen says the metallic side of radiant barriers should face the direction that you are hoping to reflect heat back. For your northern climate having it the way you have it would reflect heat back into the house not keep it out of the house. Installing it metal side out would reflect heat out of the house however you still would need to add furring strips or some form of air gap because radiant barriers are only effective if they can reflect the radiant heat which they can't do if you are in direct contact with the heat source.
Merry Christmas!
Would an infrared temp gun work to show the temperature difference between regular OSB vs. the material you are using on the new build?
Hello.
Please answer the question: what snowmass can hold 1squarefoot this kind of roof?
Best regards from SPb, Russia.
Why no H clips on roof decking
Infrared Camara guys you'll have one soon
@22:26 where Greg is standing next to that long purlin, do you ever have to put a vertical stiff leg to the lower roof?
Looks awesome thanks loved the way you tied in with 2×12 very good idea thanks 🙏 for the videos God bless
I've never seen pole or stick framed with the perlins and gerts just slapped on the outside. Y'all don't use hangers? Do you get cold pockets from everything in between?
These videos are very useful for the clients to figure out whether they prefer conventional framing or post framing. And also a great feedback for suppliers to improve their products. Kyle, it would be hilarious if you include a scene with the angle calculation on a blackboard, like the coyote when hunting for the roadrunner 😂.
for some reason I don't have any sound of your voice in the left side of me headphone I made sure the problem wasn't on my end just wanted to let you know!
I’m in Southeast Virginia and that’s how I build everything with a 2 x 6 facia nail the plywood to it and now in hurricanes and nor’easter’s the front edge of the plywood can’t lift up if it can’t lift up your roof stays on during a storm because it rips out from the bottom up not from the top down
Nice, tell a story about almost falling off a roof, while not wearing any safety gear, and having the guy in the scissor lift still be harnessed in.
Great build! Excellent banter, almost repartee! 😉 Thanks for the work! It's appreciated! Merry Christmas!
To keep the building cool in the summer I thought you needed the aluminium foil facing up to reflect the radiation back out of the building. With it facing down it will reflect radiation back into the building in the winter to keep the house warmer. ???? Have I got it correct ?????
We need some quality contractors that take pride in work around me. Your work is definitely amazing and love learning from your videos.
As a former roofer, I approve of these valleys.
Have you got a recommendation of a builder in California that you would suggest for the style of building you guys specialize in?
So, why no sheeting/roofing clips on the OSB on the roof? I have a feeling it is somewhat due to the orientation of your roof structure…? I did see the nails you are using for spacing between the sheets.
Lol at the timed trigger when the youngen started talking
I have better luck with osb pile with bottom down so you don't create more work turning them over.
use a heat gun to show the difference in temp
What would be the average cost to build this house not including land? around $200k?
I am a home inspector and I see this product occasionally here in Birmingham AL. I totally believe the 30degree claim, a thermal imager would be a great way to show how well it works.
Have you had anyone use the VA loan to build a post frame house/barndo
Ive been framing for 32 years…its absolutely crazy to order trusses without tails. The time you spend adding tails is costing you huge $$. The fascia is a fairly important structural component as well. I wouldn’t even feel safe walking on that area. Dont get me wrong, you do nice work but the no tail trusses is bizarre to me.
You could test OSB temp vs the radiant sheeting with a Infrared Thermometer. Especially on a sunny day, it would be a perfect way for you to show the difference. Keep up the amazing videos. Thanks Kyle & Greg !!!!
I figured 2 things out recently that have bugged me for a while. I am in the middle of a fairly simple remodel of my 2nd floor of my house. Quoted a 2 week project to get it to the point where I could finish. We started mid November and aren't done. lol
I don't typically hire contractors because I can't afford the quality of work I am looking for. However the crazy part is to me what I am looking for should be standard in my head. Square walls, flat floors, etc. Basics. So I do 99% of my own work in my house, cars, anything… People just want to take your money and do the bare minimum to get it. The workers would be on site for maybe 6 hours per week if I was lucky. Had to fire 2 of them for not showing up and not notifying us that no one was coming. Crazy stuff.
I currently have newly framed walls in a 6'x7' small bathroom out of square by 3/4" over 2' on the door wall. New floor had 1/2" dips in the middle, floor out of level by 1 1/4" over 6.5" diagonally in the bathroom. Not to mention they tried to give me a subfloor underlayment only 5/8" thick with the intent of throwing hardibacker board (1/4") on top of that and tile like that wasn't going to fail down the road due to deflection. Not to mention that doing anything else in that bathroom with a floor that off would have been a nightmare.
Watching you make sure all those purlins had a good nailing point is a synopsis of what I want out of a contractor. Takes the time to ensure the build will be correct, even, square, flat, plumb, flush, etc….. Shame you all are a dime a dozen now-a-days.
Great work! Our plan is to build a barndominium as our future home. We just need to find a good contractor out here that is not going to build a half-ass structure.
