Very educating, Iassume you are building this house in your spare time. I am followning you for years now. Utter respect for what you are doing! Greetings from The Netherlands.
Love the program - very worried if you have a water leak in the kitchen that you would have to replace the entire wood floor.. breaks between rooms is not a bad thing... Can't wait to see the finished home!
I just tuned into your channel this morning and you made me realize just how time consuming and strenuous this can be- in specially when you are doing a lot on your own. God bless! Your home looks awesome- I know you cannot wait to move in :-)
Glad to see the wife building rows in front of you....now she can also leave you about a 1' space and build more than one row at a time....keep up the work and the house is looking good. Christmas is gonna be so special this year in that house!!!
Looking great, followed your build since day one, no nonsense or bullshit, you just get stuck in and do what you can, you are going to have a beautiful and well deserved house when finished. Greetings from Ireland.

You did good getting the house conditioned and hopefully the floor wood too, but as thick as your flooring is n being nailed you’re probably gonna be ok on gapping, only thing to manage now is protecting the wood from water areas like kitchen n 1/2 bath n utility room I would certainly put the washing machine on a pan that drains outside and screen the drain to prevent critters coming in? But absolutely beautiful and well worth the time n money 💰

Is there an alternative to using felt paper for the floor underlayment? Another thing I noticed is his concrete block footings only has one vent hole. If a water leak happens and the ground under the house gets saturated then it will have to vented and dried pretty quickly to prevent warping of the wood floors.
Yes there are many synthetic underlayments available now days. But the felt is readily available, cost effective, and has an incrediblely long track record. I found no real downside to the felt when I looked into it. As for venting, there's a lot more than is easily see looking at the house from the yard. I have 8' wide porches covered in 5/4 planks which are roughly 6 inches wide. There is a 1/4" gap between each board. Combined they would make a gap 4" wide all the way around the house. The porch are a total of 112 feet long. Which means there is 28 sq ft of venting through the porch, plus the two access doors. I know you mentioned broken pipes but others have mentioned dampness in general, I can tell you it stays bone dry under the house year round. Since the house is perched on a hill the is no ground runoff that ever comes close to the house. If we get a heavy driving rain sometimes the ground under the porch will get damp from rain blowing onto the porch, but it dries off very quickly and never makes it to under the main structure. I have been keeping an eye on it to see how it deals with waterand so far there have been no concerns.

Looking good Eric. Fantastic progress. You will be able to celebrate your first Christmas in the new house? Thanks again for the video
Christmas is our target. Not sure if we will make it or not.
God bless you guys, hope you move in by Christmas
Looking great. Will the floors be stained or left natural?
We are going to stain them. I think the name of the color is "Special Walnut", but don't quote me.
@@ArkansasHomesteader awesome, I'm sure they will be beautiful.

Where did you get the Arkansas building codes? I've been trying to find them online. Love the channel.
In Arkansas, code listens to you.

How many years have you been building this house?
This past Father's day made 5 years. But I had been paying as I went until just recently. So it could certainly be done faster.
@@ArkansasHomesteader having it paid for is well worth the wait
