Just wanted to give you some advice I wish someone had given me. You talking about the tornados reminded me of it. A little over 10 years ago, I moved to Bastrop Texas and bought a house in the woods. It and the property needed a lot of work so I got it for a real good price. I bought it in May, moved in July, and by the end of August I’d gutted, remodeled, added an addition, cleared over an acre of trees and carted off three truck loads of junk. I was installing built in cabinets in my walk in closet on the Sunday before Labor Day. My retirement house in the woods was just about perfect. But men plan and God laughs. We’d had a drought that summer and the pine woods I lived in was acres of kindling. That afternoon it was very windy from a tropical storm hundreds of miles south and a tree branch broke off and took out a power line. Of course this started a fire. Even though someone saw it and called the fire department there was no stopping such a fire on that day. It started running through the forest faster than you can walk. It started about a half mile from my house and the first warning we had was a neighbors propane tank blowing up. Thankfully we rounded up the pets and got out, driving the last half mile with both sides of the road surrounding us with 100 foot tall burning pine trees. I tell all that to say that we screwed up. We were insured, but only for what we bought the place for, not the hundreds of thousands of dollars we had put in it since. They sell insurance to cover this but our insurance agent didn’t ask us if we wanted it. I didn’t think to ask for it either. So, just a bit of advice. If you ever add on, build, or remodel, make sure you buy the insurance to cover you till you finish and get it appraised again. It’s actually not that expensive. It would have saved me from loosing a good chunk of my life savings. I’d hate for that to happen to anyone else.
You amaze me with the amount of work you are doing on your new home, while doing it on your own! I so hope that you are resting enough in between jobs, as you don't want to kill yourself with overwork! You do such wonderful work, though - so thorough! :
All the little details that make a house a home are starting to take shape. I have been following you guys for years, almost from the start... and am so glad to see where you are today. I am fascinated by Jeremy's work and appreciate the thoroughness of every job, in my opinion, the way one *should* work. God bless the family. Looking forward to the finished product.... if there is such a thing... lol 😅
I'm so glad the tornados and storms that came through the south didn't hurt all that work you've done. The scaffolding was still bad enough. Seems you have had to fight some set back or problem ever since this adventure started but you always come out on top. I keep you in my prayers.
Having the crashed scaffold in the title it was like watching a thriller full of tension each time you were on the scaffold near the edge of the porch until finally seeing when it actually happened.
You sounded a bit flat today, not quite yourself. Hope whatever it is passes quickly and you feel better soon. You are just so amazing with your knowledge and skills. Love watching your blogs AND I love your choice of music!!!
So glad the worst of the storms missed you. The thumbnail had me worried. Great work, really a quality build. I love watching evey bit of it. Thanks for sharing. Becky from Kansas City
Awww, can sense the self build fatigue - one day you'll all look back and smile but whilst you're in the midst it can be like wading through custard can't it! Such incredible attention to detail, I love seeing it all come together :)
OMG! That same storm tore through here last night as well. Luckily no tornadoes, but we remained under a watch for awhile. I am in SW Missouri. Just a little bit south of her Monet, AR was hit. I'm glad the worst for y'all was the fog and the scaffolding. Plus, relieved to hear the scaffolding didn't really suffer much damage. I can't wait to see the railings for the deck/porch now! IT's going to look great from what I can tell so far.
Jeremy, your make everything looks easy! love how honest you are about how heavy these were and a pain in your butt. All I can say you do and amazing job! everything looks beautiful. Jeremy, there is always some trials that come when you're trying to finish up with your build.
Holy Moly...that was some kind o' job! You continue to amaze me in your multiple skills across so many different jobs! This was no different. I am in awe and the house is so darn beautiful! Living in it will bring so much satisfaction as you have designed and helped build or direct every inch of it. GREAT work!
Oh my goodness that’s A LOT OF WORK! You must have strong 💪 and neck muscles! Great work! You and Jaime will have a forever home on this side of heaven that will be incredible!
Jeremy I put Hardy siding on my addition ,ran into the dust issues also ,went and blew money on a Milwaukee shear made for it no dust . Wasn't cheap but worth every penny
Are you planning for any electrical boxes for outlets on the ceiling of your porch? When we added on to our house, that was one of the best things we did. It enabled me to wrap the poles and railings with Christmas lights without running long extension cords. Our current house doesn't have outlets on the porch and boy do I miss them.
I was going to ask if you were going to put some fans up then you talked about it. Ahhhh that's going to be so nice this summer. Sitting out there at night and fans on with no bugs! Smart move.
Hi Y'all. . . Jeremy/Jaime... Glad you didn't get hit with those twisters and y'all are alright. Looks good, another step done and on to the next one, yay! Look forward to the next video.
Dude you scared me to death with that ‘crashed the scaffold title.’ I didn’t think you would have assembled wrong or fallen off somehow but I do not like working on scaffolding cause I don’t like heights so the title worried me. Our second floor deck is about 14 ft high and runs the length of the house which is 80 ft. I had to be on the scaffolding to paint 80 ft of spindles. 😩😩 hubby was working so I painted what I could reach and he would move the scaffolding in the evening for me for the next day of work. It’s not a great memory. 😂 Glad everything and you were fine. Prayers for all those affected by the tornadoes.
Dewalt 200x 7.25 concrete blades are not that expensive, I got mine at Lowes in a 3 pac for $25.00 a few years back. I used 1 blade for all my cuts on a solid concrete block retaining wall and it still works good.
That was the first Milwaukee tool I've seen on the old homestead. Besides what you said in the vidya, what turned a guy on to that brand verses the Kobalt? I've picked up quite a few Milwaukee tools in the past year and I am extremely impressed with everything they've done for me! I sure am glad you and the family fared well from that storm. Last I heard something like 70 people were dead/missing. Very tragic...... Send my best to the family Jeremy. 🤘🏽🤘🏽
Not done yet stupid finger lol ment long day I am just worn out but the thing is this is what you do when you have integrity and pride in your work home or what ever you are doing no one else will really care like your self I love it all I'm here waiting
It is a pain in the but to work with, but I can tell you one thing , the only thing that I did on my little homestead that turned out to be worth a damn was that sidding that I used 10 years ago an still today looks like I painted it last week. Everything else that I put 2 coats of kills and 2 coats of 25 year paint on looks like it is 100 yrs. old.
the house is looking great! did you get your solar installed yet? I would highly recommend the new enphase ensemble. just had that installed here in ATL and loving it!
Something to think about, if those porches are going to routinely get a lot of wind, it may destroy your ceiling fans. I live on a lake and get a lot of prevailing winds. We’ve had to take down ceiling fans because the blades snap off.
As long as I am running my mouth today, I spent my whole life in construction and I have watched you all ever since you have started and would like you to know that after you and you're wife are dead and gone the next person that is fortune enough to buy you're house before they die will think how lucky they were to have purchased you're house, that is if the USA last that long.
@@Guildbrookfarm you should be so very proud of what you have accomplished! It's amazing what you have done on your own, and brought us along on the journey.
As someone who used to use drywall screws as construction screws, I would strongly advise you use real structural screws for those fans.. Those screws will fail over time and cost you more than the $0.02 you saved using them in the first place..
@@repurposedart9897 You have to go back & watch their videos! Don't' be lazy!!! Instant gratification is not what I will ever provide in answers!!!! may I ask how many animals you have?
@@tonygrimes13 Oh Tony. You are so condescending... You must be a real joy to be around..... So I guess this channel is not a real farm youtube channel but a building a house channel... Thanks Tony

Making progress. That's such a lovely deck it's going to be a great space to relax and take in that gorgeous view.

How funny I’m pressure canning some beans and was watching your wife’s video on how to can beans and this came on lol 😆 💚
lol, I used Jamies Canning videos also, I wish she were still doing them.
@@ssfoste Shes too busy doing school.
@@ssfoste But you have the videos!!!
The place is coming together nicely..
Have a good evening ❄❄❄
Thanks 👍
If it had to happen at least it happened BEFORE you put up railing so the railing didn't get buggered happy to hear you are safe 😊
Holy Moly...that was some kind o' job! You continue to amaze me in your multiple skills across so many different jobs! This was no different. I am in awe and the house is so darn beautiful!

Awesome job!
The most lovingly crafted / built house on the internet. 💖
Looking great...
Very grateful you and your immediate community were spared.
Oh my goodness that’s A LOT OF WORK! You must have strong 💪 and neck muscles! Great work! You and Jaime will have a forever home on this side of heaven that will be incredible!
Glad you're all safe. Happy Holidays.
Same to you!
Jeremy I put Hardy siding on my addition ,ran into the dust issues also ,went and blew money on a Milwaukee shear made for it no dust . Wasn't cheap but worth every penny
that hardy board looks really good. once the painting is done will look even better. nice.
It's looking absolutely amazing!
Nicely done and perfect!
Good job
Looking great. Love your channel.
Take Special Care. The build is Special and Spectacular! The end is in your sights✨✨✨.

Was wondering how fast you were going on that scaffold to crash it! Glad you came through with only a little excitement.
he was going 95 when he crashed it. ha!
Now would be a great time to add some outlets in the ceiling, in case you would like to add Christmas lights or other items.
Such an overlooked area. So cheap to add now and it makes adding lights or cameras or anything down the line easier.
Thankfully cement board doesn’t have asbestos anymore👌
Nope, just lung damaging crystalline silica dust..

Stuff like that will happen on those big jobs!
Run some cat6 cable to those flood light boxes for maybe some sort of camera system down the road? 🤔
Cam lines are already run
Great video thanks again
Amazing, killer views, you are going to love living there! Vacation rental for one year and recover some of your costs?

Just curious if you’re going to add any recessed lighting out there?
I hadn’t planned to.
I sure would!. Nothing better than a well lit porch with properly spaced downlights.
the house is looking great! did you get your solar installed yet? I would highly recommend the new enphase ensemble. just had that installed here in ATL and loving it!

Well thanks. That was our goal. 😑
Is the lumber you used for the decking pressure treated? just wondered why it needs to be wrapped? You are doing excellent work. thanks
No it isn't pressure treated because I always intended to wrap it.
What do you have to have completed for your final inspection?
Railings, inside stairs, sinks, toilets, electrical and a couple other things. We’re very close.
@@Guildbrookfarm you should be so very proud of what you have accomplished! It's amazing what you have done on your own, and brought us along on the journey.
Curious what the vent duct above the porch ceiling is for?
The front porch duct is the kitchen range hood. The back porch duct is the bath fan exhaust.
I’m really interested where you ran the vent duct. From the stove on the sink side of the house through the wall?
From above where the range will be, into the ceiling and out through the wall.
dont remember the pew pew before, is it getting sketchy out there?
I believe he's had it from day 1
He has always had one..
my bad then.
As someone who used to use drywall screws as construction screws, I would strongly advise you use real structural screws for those fans.. Those screws will fail over time and cost you more than the $0.02 you saved using them in the first place..
Nice work, what soffit material are you using that is a full 1" thick? Why so thick?
Provia. The profile is 1” thick not the actual material.
@@Guildbrookfarm I see, not a wood product.
Nooo
😯👍👍👍👌
Thats a great saw but that poor CP2.0 battery. Try a 6.0/8.0 or 12.0HO, they really let the saw work to its full potential!
I know I thought the same thing but that little 2.0 actually did way better than I expected!
