    I love your thought process! My father instilled into me the concept of standardization, having bought and updated older homes that were anything but standard-much to his chagrin as he worked on them. Not having to make unnecessary cuts, especially in materials in which this potentially can be problematic, by careful planning is definitely a pro move. The rest of the info provided is gold, too. Thanks for such an informative and educational video!

    My parents passed away last year within a couple months of each other and left my husband & I their home. (my childhood home).
    However, for us to try to live there and salvage it, we are having to remodel everything starting with the basement trying to add two extra rooms because we have three kids of our own & need more room.
    We are on a tight budget and have run into a couple issues. I would love to get your thoughts on what you think would be best. We need to put in new flooring and walls. It's a cement floor and cinderblock basement. I'd be willing to pay you for your time of course!! My husband Eli and I have already learned so much!

    @HomeRenoVisionDIY question, at roughly 32 minutes when you are notching out the posts for the hanger hardware, you removed the corner frim the posts. Were these post treated and if so, did you retreat the cuts? Or because the limestone and blocks keep the wood from directly touching the ground there make this unnecessary? Thank you.

      Dry pour concrete will eventually crumble. It's not strong at all. Personally, I would dig down to your local frost line and in the interest of making life easy, dry stack concrete block. It will be just as strong as wet pour and free of frost heave. The nice thing is you can build on it without waiting a week for it to cure. Oh, tamp some gravel or stone dust in the bottom of the holes to prevent settling.

    Well, the 4x4 posts are not carrying the weight.. the diameter of the steel in the screws is in shear bearing the weight. There is no transfer of load directly from the structure to the ground. I think the shed will work fine for its size, but the method of support is risky for something that will be expected to survive long term.

    • @bgBlea
      @bgBlea 26 дней назад +2

    • @connerblah
      @connerblah 26 дней назад +2

      The roof load is carried by the posts directly to the ground. This is important in Canada.
      While it's true that the floor is not directly carried by the posts, did you miss the part where he installed at least 2 HeadLOKs per post? He's not using deck screws. These are meant to be a replacement for 3/8" lag bolts; they are rated for 965 lb each in shear. With 7 posts able to carry 2000 pounds in shear each, I get the feeling that they're not going to need the floor to carry more than 14000 pounds.
      Say what you want about building on top of organic material, but the framing side of this project is in no way going to be a problem.

Rake the dirt over to hide it after rolling some flat black paint to camouflage the visible part. Critters will dig down and hit the screen... then go away because they are too dumb to dig a foot away.

So his apprentice carefully widens the cuts of the decking board to allow for expansion… then immediately he proceeds to put a final screw right into the spot he was speaking about - which is much too thin a space for a screw and snaps the end piece off anyways! Hahahahahaaaa yes! Then obviously he blames it on the apprentice saying he must have beat the hell outta the board earlier when he was hammering it.

      they generally dry to a medium standard to reduce shipping weight.

      Mike pushes contractors and the next promotional deal. Jeff actually teaches you something.

      Cheers! Not much time to teach when the T.V. execs are in charge of everything you say!

    Dude, I love your videos, but you're packing on visceral fat. That's where I put my own fat too, and it's the most dangerous - leading to metabolic sydrome issues and T2 diabetes. Easy to get rid of without going to a gym: cut alcohol, fruits, and carbs. It will disappear by Christmas. Sorry for the lecture. Your channel rocks. 😊
