Yes. It was a nice break from construction.

It was truly amazing. For being the 4th of July, there were not many people on the lake. A lake we passed along the way (Silver Lake) was completely packed so it was worth the extra 20 minute drive. The area we paddled through was definitely not for boats as many of the boulders were just below the surface. The lake itself, is plenty deep for boats outside of the boulder areas.

@@HamiltonServices530 Thanks for the additional information. The boulders are probably one reason its not crowed.

Thanks! It was a nice break from the house build. The lake was amazing with the large submerged and partially submerged boulders with crystal clear water. We hope you are doing well.

Come see us, Gary! : ) @garygordon8909

Thanks for the suggestion. I did not think about adding a link, so I put one in the description box.

​@HamiltonServices530 ah okay! I don't get a pop up (mobile app)

@@Ketch22k Sorry, I edited my response after I realized it was the short video and not the full length. I don't think you can have suggested videos pop up on shorts. However the link is in the description.

@@HamiltonServices530 np thought links in shorts would help bring back 👋

Getting the trees out of there was the hardest part. Digging and installing the piping/leach lines was the easy part.

Thanks Steve!

Thankfully we had water service to the property. A property in the neighborhood had to drill their well almost 1,100 feet to get water.

Good luck with your project!

I am glad my video was helpful. Flashing skylights and chimneys is tedious work. But if done correctly, they don't leak. Unfortunately, people get in a hurry and often take shortcuts. Good luck on the repair. I hope you get the opportunity to take care of that customer.

Yes. I saved all the Doug Fir logs so we could mill them up for the door/window trim and baseboards inside the house. We thought that might look nice matching the wood on the outside patios.

Honestly, I really do exist! That work thing takes a lot of my time. 😆

Yes. Trudging up and down the hill was not fun. Glad that portion is over.

No. Still a lot of work to do. I have a few videos worth of clips on the Gopro I still need to edit. I just need to get motivated to do them. Each video takes me at least two house to edit. I have been so tired at the end of the day, I haven't felt like doing them.

@@HamiltonServices530 I hear ya. Maybe just a quick walk thru on a day you're not real busy. Dying to see the progress.

@@steveandriese5619 You shamed me into putting out a video. One will be out in the morning, I worked on it last night and this evening.

@@HamiltonServices530 Yahoo!

Thanks

Thank you! Good luck with your project. I never thought about adding the studs while I still had the original factory cover. I wonder if mine would have lasted longer?

I am glad some of the info in my video was helpful.

I am not familiar with those model numbers as Air Scrubber model numbers. I think those are UV bulbs only when I search those model numbers. When started comparing the numbers on the LSE lighting website (UV bulb manufacturer), the differences were either the UV wavelength (245nm or 254nm) or the length of the actual bulb (8-1/2" or 8-3/4") or whether or not the bulb produces ozone. I am not a UV bulb expert so I could not tell you what the difference in wavelength does. Some states have outlawed ozone producing items so those bulbs may not available in some areas. I am in California and have to get the non-ozone producing replacement cartridge. The Air Scrubber replacement number I need is 9950231 or US71088. Not sure if this helped or muddied the water even more?

Rats! Must have been me then!

It looks like the Grace Ice and Water Shield is not fire resistant and would not meet the class A fire resistance requirements for the WUI zone where we are building. The roof was covered with Titanium FR which is a peel and stick. I then used Polystick XFR, which is also a fire rated peel and stick, to roll up the side of the curbs. Then to make it even more waterproof, I used the foil backed flashing tape to cover the Polystick since it was easier to get all the way to the top of the skylight curb. I guess the only thing I could have done better is add another layer of the flashing tape over the metal roof flashing before adding the final skylight flashing. It is nice to hear you are using quality materials as well. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.

Thank you!

You are 100% correct. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the viewers.

Thank you! Hopefully it helps with your project.

I was measuring down from the joists to get my slope for the drain. Worked just fine.

@@HamiltonServices530 i was talking about the slope on your fittings ! its all good we all do things differently lol

The tape has already saved me while having to trench for my water line to the house and sewer line to the septic tank.

I am glad the video helped your decision!

I tried to be prepared for whatever Aprilaire asked.

Sorry. Didn't see your comment until now. Thank you!

Good luck with your repair. Hopefully the video helped.

You ain't lying about that! How could an item that big bypass both the top and 'fine' filters?

@@bgregg55 Good luck with your project. I will have to go back and look at the screens or strainers at the bottom to see how that piece could have got in there.

@@alexmartin900 I will have to go back and look at the strainers or screens at the bottom to see how something like that could get through.

Thank you!

These 90-100 degree days are not making it easy.

I would think you could use a clamp on or velcro on probe for the suction line if they are small enough to fit in the unit. I just followed Aprilaire's instructions for troubleshooting before calling the warranty department.

That is my hope anyway. I was really looking forward to the metal roof but it is definitely time consuming.

I do feel lucky to have a lift, several harnesses and tethers. I didn't make it this far in life to get hurt now.

What I don't like about the regen process is putting the hours on the tractor and revving the engine at high RPM's/burning fuel without actually doing any work. Recently, my tractor needed to regenerate the same day I needed to do some branch chipping. So I was able to accomplish two things at once. So far this year I have not had to flush the DPF.

Right! That was some organized crime right there!

Unfortunately for her there was a bigger bear growling in the kitchen. So she ran away.

It seems the babies knew to run up the hill and climb the tree when mom started breaking in the screen. We have decided to keep all the low windows closed at night now. Just in case I don't wake up in time to scare her off!

Rascals!

We did the sealed crawlspace and attic mostly for wildfire prevention, but it has the added bonus of energy efficiency since all plumbing and HVAC are now in conditioned space and not exposed to outside temperatures. In having no vents in the crawlspace or attic eaves, we are hoping fire embers remain outside when the winds blow them against the house. As for the cons, I need dehumidifiers in the crawlspace and Energy Recovery Ventilators to bring fresh air into the house because it is so airtight. The building materials and sealants we used to make the high efficiency house were also a lot more expensive than standard building materials. As for additional Pros, we can feel the benefits of the airtight house with rooftop insulation already even though we are still in the building process.

Thank you! I really prefer crawlspace over slab. If you ever have plumbing problems, it is so much easier to fix.

I am absolutely fine with you sharing the video on your social media channels.

@@HamiltonServices530 Thank you, Scott!

Thank you! I am really pleased with the way the roof is turning out.

Nice! I am guessing it was a fuse inside the microwave?

I couldn't get to the screw over the control panel to access the fuse. I had to pull my microwave out a little to access it. You were right when you told us to be careful because of how the microwave comes out. I barely caught it when it dropped. Lol

@@kdogg3003 Whoa! Glad you are alright and made the catch. Thankful I could help.

One day closer to done. It is definitely a slower process than I thought putting on this roof.
