Also, your humility and kindness is remarkable. In a world where we spend a lot of time comparing, judging, preening, and generally trying to conceal our deep insecurity, your unvarnished humanity underscores your abiding skill. 🖖
I really appreciate your honesty in the “mistakes” department. It took me some years as a carpenter to realize that ALL construction involves mistakes. Where work appears to not have mistakes involved, it is an illusion. Once I realized that, work got easier cause I just started talking about the mistakes. Once it was an open topic we all tried to prevent them and we all figured out the best fixes for the ones that happened. Many of my “mistakes” were some of the most effective learning tools of my life. I don’t like em but in retrospect they taught me much.
I would imagine that most of your viewers are tradesman that have a good grasp of how to do much of this work themselves. As a custom home builder myself, it's most curiosity about how it's done on the complete opposite side of the country from me that drives my intrigue. That, and listening to the philosophical ramblings of Scott, who is in my book a very wise and astute man. But I bet that by far the most educational episode for the widest cross section of your viewers is that stair video. Not because we need to learn how to make stairs. but rather because we need to learn how to cope with humility. I commend you for not just removing the original video and replacing it with a corrected video, and trying to keep it to yourself. That must have been a hard to swallow, but I promise you we all learned from it. Kudos.
Hey y'all! Thanks for putting out the content! As a 26 year old that is getting into trades, doing office remodels for work, and woodworking and handy work on the side, I really appreciate the videos you put out. I just wanted to give you some love and appreciation for the work you do even though I can't help you on your patreon!
Chris Ward I’m 65 and started as you did. If I had had access to this kind of instruction at 26 it would have transformed my career. These guys are the best and even at 65 I feel this is a privilege to learn from.
I appreciate you showing and admitting to a mistake. We are all human and make mistakes all the time. Fix it and move on. Don't waste your life worrying someone else will see it. Great channel. Keep up the great work.
It is what it is guys just keep up the good work. We enjoy watching the videos regardless of the mistakes or length of each video. We are learning from each one and thank you for taking this project on. We enjoy and greatly appreciate the reality and honesty in your videos. It is so disingenuous to watch an MR perfect hide all the mistakes and the reality of a project with jump cuts and edits so we do see how human he is. People that are complaining are just a builders version of an armchair quarterback with to much time on their hands. We are always behind on the videos because we have jobs lives and families and even projects of our own. But greatly enjoy watching and catching up in our spare time. For example, I purchased your blacksmithing course and life got in the way and have yet to finish it. But I will!! We, by the way, are me and my three boys. Thanks again.
I absolutely love watching this. I have no desire to frame a house but as an electrician I spend a good deal of time drilling holes in the framing. Please do an episode showing some of the electrical work. I enjoy seeing what other people do learning things improve my skills.
really looking forward to more up-to-date videos. and I really love these videos where you address various comments from the build videos. I learn about stuff I never even knew existed.
Hey Guys - as much as I'd like to see you be caught up on the build, for me that means it's just that much closer to the end of the project and I just don't want that to happen too quickly. I'm not going anywhere in a big hurry, so I'm happy with 20 or so minutes a week. Keep up the good work!
Gents, well done series. It takes what time that you have available to do sit downs and catch ups. When stuff arrives and weather permits, you go as fast as the project allows to get it installed and done. On issue of problems, no one is perfect. Other folks have pointed out that things are done on the fly because of plethora of reasons. Just go with the flow, making sure you don’t break code. Keep up the good work! And thanks for the videos!
8" is high per code... Most jurisdictions that use the IRC are 7 3/4 max rise 10" min. run. Always pays to check your local code amendments. :) I should also mention from your winder video that if the area under the stair is accessible for storage, there needs to be G.W.B. on the bottom of the stair (Per IRC verify with local amendments).
If you want to learn more on rocks and stuff ask AvE. As a matter of fact, a Podcast with him would be awesome! Let him sit behind a sheet of plywood, he'll hate it! :D
Love the podcasts guys. So I’m at a loss as to why there’s only 10.6K subscribers here and a whopping 628K on EC...?¿? I bet you guys are wondering that too. Oh well, maybe it’ll just take time for more people to migrate over 🤷♂️ 🤜🤛
Oh those stairs, you must feel like they are going to be around till the end of time. As far as the videos you guys make, I think they have been nice to watch, and have something to teach and learn from. So when you're working with the seasons you have to work when you can with what you have, then tell the stories when you sit down, before they get stale. As long as you remember what you wanted to do and are able to do I think you'll be good. :-)
First? Great episode. I'm only in my 30s, but one thing I've learned with work is you need to turn it off after hours to stay sane. Disconnect when home and you'll be much happier.
I remember I got better at it as I got older but when I was first put into a supervisory position, it was just completely consuming. I guess it’s just that desire to be successful and to assure the people that thought enough of you to give you that chance, that they made the right choice. 🤜🤛
Sometimes it is easier said than done. I spent years as a computer programmer and later as a financial analyst a nd would oftfn encounter problems shile building a program. I would try my best not to take it home but learned pretty quickly to have a pad and pen next to the bed becayse many nights it was working around in the back of my brain and the programming problem would work itself out during the night. You may ask what computer programming has to do with building as house. In actuality they do share many traits. They both have the conceptual idea, you then turn the conceputail idea into 0lans in the form of flow charts and psuedo code and then build/write the code. As a financial analyst I found myself doing the same thing to get to the analysis the boss asked for.
Perfection doesn’t exist. Stuff goes sideways. When it does, the ability to think it through is the creative stuff that makes the difference. It’s a process. Keep posting, lads, and I’m privileged to keep learning.
Good Stuff. I am a SoCal electrical contractor and see this all and yet it is still interesting to hear you hash it out. You talked about cold pitch being brittle and could break like glass. Coal is from a similar source and is brittle and breaks like glass.
I am a design draftsman. I have worked for architects. I am an independent designer now. There is no such thing as perfect plans. Every set of plans has faults. Contractors find designers problems. The only plans that are perfect are the plans that get drawn, you get paid for, and the building gets nixed for whatever reason, and does not get built. Those are the only perfect plans.
I've fixed Hardie Board holes with Bondo Auto Body Filler. Scratched in the grain, sanded it a bit and painted it. I was surprised how well it turned out, very hard to find the patch for someone that didn't know where it was.
Well I'm sure if it was really necessary to get this house done fast, then it would be, but that also might mean some of the camera work would suffer! After all wasn't this primarily for showing ALL of the steps in constructing a home! Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
That's very similar to a trick that my wife shared with me. I got pine sap all over my hands and my wife told me to try rubbing vegetable or olive oil on my hands to cut the sap and then use soap and water to get rid of the vegetable/olive oil. It works!
The sub 20 minute videos really help me stay caught up while eating lunch. I'll take the content however presented. No worries on the video film to production time frame. I understand you have to go hard until it is in-the-dry.
Just had the roof of my house replaced. Started 6:30 am 01/07/2020 and finished 12 noon 01/08/2020 with removal of one layer of wood shingles and two layers of composition(asphalt) shingles down to the 1 X 4's for the wood shingles. Full decking, underlayment, and shingles plus 4 double-axle trailer loads of removal to dump and clean-up, a crew of 7 plus foreman. I am writing this 01/09/2020 2:30 pm. Looks great.
There is one deciduous tree that produces sticky pitch very similar to that produced by conifers: Cherry. Cherry trees that grow in the eastern forests and are harvested for LUMBER as opposed to their fruit actually produce quite a bit of sticky pitch.
Regarding getting clarifications to the plans from the architect vs. on-the-fly problem solving - how different is the approach if you are building a single house vs. dozens or hundreds of the same house? It seems to me that for a one-off home, it's much more sensible to absorb more on-the-fly puzzle solving once than perhaps if you are expecting numerous crews of guys to build the same house and potentially solve the same problems over and over. Interesting considerations.
I did a lot of multi-family buildings for a particular architect for many years and it became obvious later that the mistakes we used to find in a particular situation had been ‘cleaned up’ thru the years just by experience. The buildings were generally similar, so over the years the ‘bugs’ had been worked out and planned for more readily. One-off custom homes are much more difficult to foresee all the possible problems that can come up. 🤜🤛
There is an old coal mine off Buckhorn Road. I think there are oil wells and gas wells, too. Not as productive as needed but there were mining rights buyers around in the old days.
Scott and Nate; We visited the site on the 11th of September 2019 and walked the stairs. Had the stairs been replaced at that time? Why? because we didn't find them too steep or the treads too short, this is coming from someone who lives in a single story slab on grade home here in California. So did we walk the old stairs or new?
No worries about the video release schedule, any higher and it would be hard to keep up. But it's understandable that the building schedule had to run ahead at its own pace. To throw another word into the pitch vs. sap debate, resin.
On the stairs and any thing else your framing. Never assume its right............ take the time to be sure until you nail it solid,give yourself the opportunity to correct if you fffd up! I stress this all the time on my jobs and it saves me a ton of grief!
I would love to hear Wranglerstar on the podcast with you guys. Perhaps once the spec house project has settled down. Appreciate the time put into all the content.
There is a house in Colleyville Ks. called the Brown Mansion that has a stairway with 4 inch by 10 inch it is all must like walking on a ramp. The lady of the house was 4 feet something tall so her husband wanted to make it easy for her to climb. And it was at 6'3" it was like walking on flat ground for me.
About stairs ... My impression is that you and your architect consider stairs as something to hide, that only steals space. You were discussing trade-off between stairs and entry space. Why not thinking of stairs as something to be proud to present, a central element, an eye catcher. People will use them every day multiple times. Beeing able to have a look at the stairs will give an overview about whtat happens to every person living in the house. They 'connect' upper floor and ground floor.
Love this channel, have watched countless videos. Regarding the hardy board siding what precautions will you be taking when cutting with the silica dust?
Ok, this is almost completely irrelevant but I thought it should be said. Your patreon page only includes a 2 dollar bracket and I along with probably many others would be willing to pay way more than that. You can set different tiers but honestly the amount of work you guys put into your videos doesn’t even begin to equate to 2 dollars, you should allow for the option yo have upwards of 10 times that. The RUclips fan base you have going seems willing and gladly able to pay that much, so I say you should go for it. Just my 2 cents
WD-40 is the BEST thing for removing pitch. It works on anything; even your clothes and washes out easily. A little hand cleaner takes it right off your hands too.
Is there any EC content that talks about the types of framing, esp ballon framing? I'm not a tradesman and would be interested to hear more detail about what that is. Thanks
In Maryland at the vocational school there is a video production class; not sure about Oregon but could be some passionate young students that could be a big help as a paid intern?
A perfect set of plans are an impossibility. For this reason, professional liability insurance and contracts etc. are set up based on a standard of care. If I could make the perfect set of DC's I could name my price. :)
Good Golly, unless your architect has hands on experience or is really diligent, I would worry about letting them do framing details. The number of mistakes and impossible details on plans that have come up for me, is astounding.
My favorite stair is 7/11. I built a beautiful oak with panels. Talk about slippery. The wife would go down with socks on and bust her butt. No more. Ranch style for us old folk.
mistakes in the plans. in 2000 I was the guy on site with the 50 pages of blueprints on a new 10 million dollar school building. I had 200 RFI or change orders and we were still pouring concrete. we had one million in undisputed costs and 125 K $ they wanted to dispute the cost. .
If you want to learn more about PNW geology, I can’t think of a better source than the videos of Nick Zentner, a professor at Central Washington University in Ellensburg. His videos are authoritative, well-presented, and mesmerizing; be ready to spend a hour (or hours).
Pitch is what the guy on the mound does in a baseball team. No coniferous trees in the middle east ahh what are cedars? There is a book for electricians showing what different regions call things.
Great, ambitious series!! Pitch...sap...tar...goo...Who cares?? if you want to debate best practices, codes, etc., then fine! Otherwise, how #$%^ important is it to be nit-picking correct? GEEZ! Carry on, gentlemen! I am thoroughly enjoying the build series. Thanks!
Maybe this is just a byproduct of doing this type of broadcast, but there's no intro, no information of who or what you guys are, or any type of outtro. I understand that anybody that's watched for more than a month will know these things, but new viewers might be confused by this lack of information. Nate, I know you're busy with the production of this whole adventure and I really don't want to hear you getting divorced in 6 months cuz you're always busy with this project (and having done a few "shows" myself back in the day) so I'm reluctant to suggest more work. Scott, I don't know how tech-savvy you are to help with (video) production tasks, and I don't want to take away from pounding nails - that's the main reason we watch (not really, we watch cuz you're so dang entertaining!). But a snappy intro to these videos, just like the construction videos, would really help sell the brand. Sorry to sound so much like a business manager than a fan, but I selfishly want you to be around for many years. And where else can I get a dose of "CY" every once in a while?! And please, keep up the great work!
Also, your humility and kindness is remarkable. In a world where we spend a lot of time comparing, judging, preening, and generally trying to conceal our deep insecurity, your unvarnished humanity underscores your abiding skill. 🖖

if you could cut those stairs out in one piece you could re use them in your or someone else's shop up to a storage loft.

In the Hebrew Bible it says that its Tar. Probably some oily substance from the swamps, if I remember correctly from school...

One of those episodes is our interview with Andrew Camarata and it is only posted on iTunes, there is no video for EC2, sorry about the confusion!
@@EC2 would it be possible to post that on here as well, for those of us that dont use itunes?
Do you have the term "as built"? it's all the adjustments you have to do throughout a build to fix the prints that you were taking about.
I would love to hear Wranglerstar on the podcast with you guys. Perhaps once the spec house project has settled down. Appreciate the time put into all the content.

Regarding the hardy board siding what precautions will you be taking when cutting with the silica dust?
Ok, this is almost completely irrelevant but I thought it should be said. Your patreon page only includes a 2 dollar bracket and I along with probably many others would be willing to pay way more than that. You can set different tiers but honestly the amount of work you guys put into your videos doesn’t even begin to equate to 2 dollars, you should allow for the option yo have upwards of 10 times that. The RUclips fan base you have going seems willing and gladly able to pay that much, so I say you should go for it. Just my 2 cents
WD-40 is the BEST thing for removing pitch. It works on anything; even your clothes and washes out easily. A little hand cleaner takes it right off your hands too.
Looking forward to the next videos.
The kids with the hammers haha 😆
As Oregonians, you’d be amazed by a geology series of RUclips videos by Nick Zentnerr of CWU. You’re on the cascadia subduction zone btw

I see what you did there. Haha
Keep up the good work.
Is there any EC content that talks about the types of framing, esp ballon framing? I'm not a tradesman and would be interested to hear more detail about what that is. Thanks
Wtf is balloon framing?
No one balloon frames anymore. You will never need that.
@@bluebird5100 I'm working on a balloon frame and see why it's a horrible system
@@buk6708 yeah the studs go from the foundation all the way up to the roof. It let's all kinds of air in your walls from the attic.
Also I appreciate Nate on camera and talking more!
Saludos great video I can relate to everything.
In Maryland at the vocational school there is a video production class; not sure about Oregon but could be some passionate young students that could be a big help as a paid intern?
A perfect set of plans are an impossibility. For this reason, professional liability insurance and contracts etc. are set up based on a standard of care.

Is it common to have breaker panel outside ? Seems like a very rare sight around here.
Here in Ely, Nevada the breaker panel's are outside [I find that irritating]. That was common on older houses in Arizona and Colorado.
Good Golly, unless your architect has hands on experience or is really diligent, I would worry about letting them do framing details. The number of mistakes and impossible details on plans that have come up for me, is astounding.
Miracle whip will remove pine sap as well
Hopefully you have time to do more detailed how-to videos when you install the windows and doors.
I'd be willing to bet that 8" max rise is code in most of the country.
My favorite stair is 7/11. I built a beautiful oak with panels. Talk about slippery. The wife would go down with socks on and bust her butt. No more. Ranch style for us old folk.
2xR + 1T =25 plus or minus one
That formula keeps you between 32 and 34 degrees. 8" rise puts you at 37 to 38 degrees slope.
I really don't do well with distractions, I get it, myself
"Pitch" us out some construction videos!
mistakes in the plans. in 2000 I was the guy on site with the 50 pages of blueprints on a new 10 million dollar school building. I had 200 RFI or change orders and we were still pouring concrete. we had one million in undisputed costs and 125 K $ they wanted to dispute the cost. .
How do i listen to this live?
LOL, you would probably have to be sitting in the room with them.
Comments they are reading are from their past videos on the spechouse
Are they father and son?
If you want to learn more about PNW geology, I can’t think of a better source than the videos of Nick Zentner, a professor at Central Washington University in Ellensburg. His videos are authoritative, well-presented, and mesmerizing; be ready to spend a hour (or hours).
Pitch is what the guy on the mound does in a baseball team.
No coniferous trees in the middle east ahh what are cedars?
There is a book for electricians showing what different regions call things.
The TOS stuff is harder than it looks. paraphrasing what you are doing while doing it is difficult.
Speaking of regional terms- anyone want to guess what "horsefeathers" are?
The LP isn't warrantied in oregon either
No coal veins; beds, layers, strata.
Great, ambitious series!! Pitch...sap...tar...goo...Who cares?? if you want to debate best practices, codes, etc., then fine! Otherwise, how #$%^ important is it to be nit-picking correct? GEEZ! Carry on, gentlemen! I am thoroughly enjoying the build series. Thanks!
I heard a feed of KFC will take off roofing tar.
Maybe this is just a byproduct of doing this type of broadcast, but there's no intro, no information of who or what you guys are, or any type of outtro. I understand that anybody that's watched for more than a month will know these things, but new viewers might be confused by this lack of information. Nate, I know you're busy with the production of this whole adventure and I really don't want to hear you getting divorced in 6 months cuz you're always busy with this project (and having done a few "shows" myself back in the day) so I'm reluctant to suggest more work. Scott, I don't know how tech-savvy you are to help with (video) production tasks, and I don't want to take away from pounding nails - that's the main reason we watch (not really, we watch cuz you're so dang entertaining!). But a snappy intro to these videos, just like the construction videos, would really help sell the brand.
Sorry to sound so much like a business manager than a fan, but I selfishly want you to be around for many years. And where else can I get a dose of "CY" every once in a while?! And please, keep up the great work!
