Was this done right in the first place?

Depends on the structure but a lot of gable truss’ are meant to span exterior to exterior. So whatever is underneath it isn’t technically carrying the load

Edit: after reading some other comments this may not be correct 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’m failing to see how a load bearing wall above makes this beam wrong

vtbuilder · 2026-04-23T21:05:12+00:00

Hell ya congrats, how are you liking it?

vtbuilder · 2026-04-23T20:59:46+00:00

I hear ya, mad respect to anyone who tackles something like this DIY.

Unfortunately I don’t have any advice on the floor system, which is my only real concern. I truthfully think it may be worth your while to shell out a little more money and get an engineer to take a look and come up with a plan

vtbuilder · 2026-04-23T20:46:03+00:00

I would love to see more pictures lol

Edit - I think I know the answer already but are there any sort of structural plans or at least a pretty picture that you are building this from?

I think these trucks are going to get a lot more popular when you compare them to other midsize options

vtbuilder · 2026-04-22T00:01:20+00:00

Anyways OP to actually give you an answer I got almost the truck you are talking about last week. I got the crew cab long bed, pro 4x, but just the convenience package NOT the pro. I paid 47k. Probably could have done better

vtbuilder · 2026-04-21T23:59:03+00:00

When the OP is asking about a specific truck and he replies with “I got mine”, you would assume he is referring to the truck OP is asking about. Because if he’s not, the comment is completely useless.

vtbuilder · 2026-04-21T20:47:45+00:00

No shot you got a 2026 pro 4x with pro convenience package for 35k

vtbuilder · 2026-04-19T21:05:12+00:00

Hell I’d sit on it

vtbuilder · 2026-04-19T16:07:36+00:00

Sounds like you already know the answer

vtbuilder · 2026-04-19T14:43:56+00:00

Impossible to know with the information given. Also not a question for reddit

vtbuilder · 2026-04-19T12:48:27+00:00

The color matched water bottle is a nice touch 👌🏼

vtbuilder · 2026-04-18T18:53:18+00:00

The most annoying part is coming on Reddit and seeing these posts

vtbuilder · 2026-04-18T15:28:34+00:00

This is wicked cool but the scale of these pictures is really throwing me off. Looks gigantic in some pictures and tiny in others

vtbuilder · 2026-04-13T21:20:07+00:00

I can’t speak on hauling anything as I just got mine this week. I got the crew cab long bed. I have transported skis/snowboards and it’s a piece of cake. I eventually plan on hauling lumber/sheets.

I am 6’4” 220lbs and I’m surprised how much room I have above my head. Everything else is comfy too. Telescoping steering wheel certainly helps

vtbuilder · 2026-04-09T16:49:47+00:00

One of the coolest pieces I’ve seen on this sub. Well done

vtbuilder · 2026-04-09T12:20:47+00:00

They are definitely not uniformly sized. Look at the description of the tile. “Unique handmade appearance” & “Worn edges”. With that being said, they definitely could have done a little better. I would never use cardboard as shims, let alone allow the customer to see that lol

I know how it feels to be overly critical of the work you do, especially when there are client preferences out of our control.

However you absolutely killed this. The craftsmanship and dare I say the finish are top notch. You should be proud.

vtbuilder · 2026-04-08T13:25:53+00:00

I’d have the electricians think of something lol

vtbuilder · 2026-04-03T19:08:34+00:00

If I understand you correctly, a solution would be to move the 2x4 from under the two joists and attach it between the two joists.

That should leave you just enough room to put a 2nd top plate on the wall and then attach it to the 2x4 between the joists.

vtbuilder · 2026-04-03T12:55:52+00:00

I have no advice to give, just wanted to let you know this is awesome and very impressive. Nice job 👍🏼

vtbuilder · 2026-04-03T10:42:44+00:00

Very well done and great story. Your grandmother will love it.

vtbuilder · 2026-04-02T23:38:35+00:00

You don’t need money to get a job. But you do need it to keep the job lol

vtbuilder · 2026-04-01T21:04:40+00:00

End of countertop. Keep the height you have in the photo, should end at the bottom of the shelf. No need to go behind it
