You can save tons of time,, & $$$$ by putting all the water & drains lined-up!! I've fought with home owners to save them trouble & hacking the frame up before the build...Running your traps through an unheated garage your gonna have trouble,, trust me!! when buying plumbing parts,, buy extras,, you can always take them back!!
Martin, I'm sure you know about cutting into that floor joist the way you did. If you don't have to worry too much about inspection, scab some plywood and added framing members from your scrap pile on each side of the joist with structural screws. You can even add blocking between the three affected joists. Over time, the weakening of that joist will bite you under that toilet. Add some cheap support. Everything else looked great.
Don't sweat the truss. You are doing pretty well. One of the worst mistakes of non-professionals is to "stress" the pipe on the structure. Make sure the plumbing is somewhat loose going through floors and joists. Cheers, RGW
Exactly! He may be able to sister the damaged portion of the truss. But the key is to get the manufacturer to specify the repair and get it in writing from them to satisfy the inspector.
We live pretty close to you over here in Priest River area, and wanted to say we're really enjoying watching your channel. We've been watching for a while, but just don't comment to often. Thanks for posting all the great video's. We're remodeling our own place out here, and it's fun to take a break from work, and watch you work, lol. Have a great week. See you again soon.
First time commenting. Been watching for a bit and also gone back to watch a bunch of posts from Indonesia. First let me say, what a great family! I love your attitudes, your values, and how you're pursuing your dream. Also love how you are doing your thing and seem to take the trolls and haters in stride. Thanks for sharing your journey and I'm glad you're able to capitalize on your efforts. Making these videos is work, I'm sure. (I let the ads play...ha). You are inspiring! Best Wishes from Missouri! Keep smiling :)
Hey Marty and Julie! I've watched your channel off and on over the past two years, mostly envious of your travels but, to see you guys have the grit to tackle the adventure you're going through has brought all the memories back of our struggles when we did the same thing over a decade ago. Don't want to scare you but, it appears that the work on your homestead never stops as something else seems to always come up.
I want more videos from your homestead. You have got me hooked. I love watching your homestead come slowly to life. Keep it up. You are doing good work.
Awesome work. Plumbing is always a nightmare but if you take a few extra minutes to figure it out it will save a ton of hassle in the long run. Looks like you have it dialed in great.
Most novice plumbers think they know it all no reflection on you my friend. But you should contact a licensed plumber before going any further not saying hiring him or her but getting advice or suggestions on how to proceed in order to pass inspection.
I got a call right after I left the first message and just now getting back to finish watching this video. I cannot believe folks are still asking about the unfinished parts. 🤣 I guess must be new viewers. I love how clever you are to promote another video. You do that very well.
Thanks for the videos. They bring back long forgotten memories for me of growing up about an hour south of Sandpoint where my parents purchase some land, cleared a homesite and self built our home when I was around 6-7 years old. We lived in some "exciting" living arrangements while we worked on various phases of the home. Also that mold spray is awesome. I have a fogger too, but never ended up using it so I can't comment on how well those work. They are supposed to work really well for widespread coverage though.
..good one, i always get a plumber and electrician, to be sure it's right and gives me peace of mind. when i do that stuff, i always wonder if i forgot to do something right..lol.. stay safe...
Soo many How to Do on you tube, don't need plumber as long as you are confident, Soo glad you answered the Question Why no drywall in the cabin, NOW I know. Thanks for the video from UK. 5.30 in the evening.
Good job you guys. You are doing just fine. Keep up the good work. Get yourselves a ton of caulk. The best thing I did was air sealing every inch of my build inside and out. I also tested different insulation, and I was very impressed with a local Sandpoint spray foam company. No bugs, no cold spots.
This family is my hero(s)! I can't even do sheet rock well! I'm pretty handy, but any time I try to spackle, it always turns out wavy or with lines. There's no way I could build a whole house and keep the walls straight!
I would put a scrap pc. of 1/2" dry wall behind tub, and sink cabinet to make sure every things fits. Make sure if pipes on on an outside wall that that you insulate them good to keep them from freezing. A little hint, mark all your pipes with a white marker. Make a straight line on both pc. when you have them where you want them, then put an "A" on both pc. next pipe put a straight line and then a "B" on both pc. and so on. Make sure every thing is dry fit and mark it. Saves a lot of work later if some thing does not fit. Before you cut a truss or floor joist I would check with your building inspector. If you lines are in the ceiling and its unheated you might have to insulate those pipes, spray foam the underside of the roof.
Great job treating for mold! Excellent move! If you put powdered boric acid mixed with a small amount of powdered sugar (yes really) on all of the bottom sills, you'll stop ants, termites, and roaches for nearly the life of your building. Be generous with the stuff. $100 now could save you $$$$$ later. (This is what Terminex uses by the way.)
My goodness, you have a lot of helpers-on-line. I have just read the comments.! The down of it is that you need to read them all because there is some useful info in there. Bit like panning for gold....
You are installing a combined sewer (12:04) I would prefer the sanitary sewer (toilet) separately from the other in the house to unavoidable smell. Nice works ....love to keep watching
IWhile watching this video, I became concerned when you notched the floor truss. I suggest contacting the Truss manufacturer and getting an engineering solution to repair the truss.
All the "of my word you cut a truss" comments are killing my hahahaha they would all be shocked how many trusses have been sacrificed in the name of plumbing and HAVAC.
@@bullithedjames937 & The Hungry Hunter Where do you build and when? Every truss is engineered and necessary. Today the engineers inspect and certify the work. You can't "pagan sacrafice" and say it will be alright these days.
@@Justaguy0420 Engineer will stamp his plans, sign, inspect and sign off on all his specifications. I converted my raised deck to a sun room and it ended up all new foundation which required a deputy Inspector to view the pour and lab test the concrete. The engineer came out 4 times duing the construction. California 🤷♂️what can I say but my sun room won't be falling down any time soon no matter the magnitude earthquake.
@@rickhuntling7338 what county are you located in? What jurisdiction is established as having authority? Engineers are required to stamp their set of plans BEFORE you submit them to the county or city or or health department, whatever jurisdiction has authority. Engineers don’t have authority to inspect any work being done in any county or state as they don’t have the authority to approve or deny any work being done within that county state or city. No private engineer or architect has jurisdiction none the less the power to approve or deny permits submitted to the county. A county inspector requires installations to be done to design spec and often refer to the submittals, cut sheets, manufacture specifications, IBC, IMC, NEC, IPC etc.
Those floor joists can be repaired, no problem. The top chord of the truss is under a compression load so it's not as serious as cutting the bottom chord. Your truss manufacturer can give you a fix, probably just some plywood or 2x's sistered to the truss as others have suggested. For your cabin electrical you can route a lot of the wiring in your crawl space floor joist space or attic so you don't have to remove much wall insulation. You can also just move the insulation to the side as you'll be stapling the romex to the wall framing members.
Wow so much going on for sure lolol. How in the world do you all keep it going straight??? It's all looking very good for sure and that's a lot of plumbing ugh. Good job. Gods blessings to you all.
I am a St. Louis master licensed plumber and mechanical engineer - if you ever have any high level questions, I’d be happy to try to help, and commend you for attempting so much DYI work. For now though, I can belatedly offer you could have saved yourself a good bit of drilling, piping and fittings by simply installing a wet vent sanitary tee for the bathroom vanity drain arm off the 3-inch toilet vent, which is a typical installation when using a full size vent pipe within 3-to-5 feet of a sink.
Oh boy cutting a floor joist like that is a big no no. You should mark where drains are going before you start the floor so you can leave clearance for them. I know hindsight is 20/20.
I'm not an inspector but from past issues you might get away with reinforcements of 5/8"plywood on both sides of the joist. Probably 4 feet 2 feet on either side of the notch.
@@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving inspectors would fail that cut. but its fine. you would need to have 10 people that weigh 400lbs to all sit on the toilet at once to break through. If your worried, sister another 2x4 next to it
Right everything is over engineered but when you comprise the structural integrity of one joist that's what they love so they have to come back more money for them easy job and I guess it makes them feel better. They'll probably ask for plywood from top cord to bottom cord I wasn't clear on that.
To miss the metal clasped joints you could of glued in a 3in piece of pipe to lower the Street L to just below those metal flanges make sure you have a 8-10° travel so everything flows properly
Cut a truss and the straps, risky... A bath tub of water + 1( or 2 ) adults can get heavy. All the trusses and weight distribution may be ok... or plan a workshop right below with a wall for support. Watching your video i was wondering if you could have gone through the smaller triangle to the side. Thank you for sharing and exposing yourself to all us experts who probably would have edited it out 😆. Blessings! I love being a do it myselfer and have made plenty of oops's.
Hey Martin. I’m building a house in Sagle. I don’t know how far that is from you guys. I’d like to meet you all sometime as I am still new in the area. Your home looks great 👍.
Making 'mistakes' is all part of building your own house, no one is perfect - not even the professionals! How are houses still standing for 100+ years that were built before there was ever building codes?!?! ...We ran into the same scenarios of the joist being in the way just this weekend as well. Your build is looking great!
Hello Martin and Julie. I love your content, your spirit and the music. If you wouldn't mind telling what is the first number you use on this clip? Thanks for the hours of entertainment and great ideas.
The plumbing waste wont pass code. Sharp MS turn 90 can only be used horizontal to vertival. The shower 90 after the santee on its back is a medium sweep. You need to use 2 45s or a long turn 90. The lav 90 needs to be a long turn 90. You can wet vent the lav into the 3" vent and dirty arm over. The toilet vent is flat. The wye must be at least 45 degree from the horizontal. Sugest a clean out on the 3" vent, strap every 4 ' down and up because ABS will bow up. Block the closet bend between the floor the top of the horizontal part of the closet bend. The closet bolts will act as a gear puller and the WC will rock. A wood block prevents this. The truss is toast. You either need an engineered fix or add a truss. If the over span allowances spec. out you might be all right. The truss layout should have been done to accommodate the plumbing. Too bad😂. A left hand tub might have done the trick and they make tubs just for truss abstructions. Another easy fix would use a rodless waste and overflow and plumb around the truss before the p trap. Maybe next time🤷♂️. Stop cutting or bending the truss ties becaus you might get called on that. The kitchen and laundry are too far to tie into the 3" bathroom vent. UPC 904-2 the horizontal vent must not exceed 1\3 of the total length. Horizontal rise + vertically run = total developed length. Example: TDL = 9' only 3' is allowed horizontally. Ps. Cut the plywood even flush to the bottom plate on your tub cut out.
@@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving You might get lucky and get an inspector lacking experience but the short turns are going to give you problems down the line, pardon the pun. My 55 years in plumbing say it won't fly inspection wise nor functionality. Use pex over the garage with the expansion fitting if freezing is an issue. No shark tooth fittings, just buy the pex tool and keep it for the next project. Looks like you guys are having a blast. Me personally have owner built 4 large homes and plumbed hundreds. The home building has been the most enjoyable. Hey! I'm the boss not the sub. GOD bless ✝❤
Hi Martin and Julie, greetings from Denmark.....love to watch your builds and progress, but was thinking about your vents from toilet, showers and all....in Denmark we sometimes take them out the side of the house....could you not go out in the end of the house on 2nd floor ?? then you dont need to make hole in your roof....
Hopefully the weather is turning up there, lots of off grid work on the homestead to get done at the end of March. Any forecast for around that time ? Another great Video!!
as many have told you the truss idea was bad, as was clipping the reinforcement nailers there are fixes, plywood on both sides with construction glue and screws but you need to find out what those fixes are. they will fail inspection
Please don't use click bait I love your videos. I imagined leaks having to cut drains loose holes cut in wrong places etc. But I seen nothing wrong you did a good job ! Not a disaster as is suggested.
some of the commenters would disagree. Seems cutting that floor truss was a disaster and now we will fail inspection. We will have to see if that is true. Wish i thought about it before i cut it.
@@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving sorry around here thats common practice I guess out there you have to get inspections. Love the videos Bro. Keep them coming !
i thought it was 3/8 inch per 10 foot. but i was all over the place in my house and couldnt see where it was going. so last week i made up my mind one bedroom and bath until its 100% finished. and use the kitchen as the overflow work. when i get that done and i hope by Friday. i will move in the living room and pantry and still use the kitchen as the over flow work. and i think by then i will only have on bathroom and bed room to do and i could care less if it takes another year to do that. i just need out of this deathtrap we are in right now. and praying April 1st we can be in the new house.
Oh no no no no no no, big BIG BIIIIIIIIG NOOOOOOOO, in case of floor trusses you can't notch even a single inch Your inspector will definitely fails you on it
@@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving building man, if you call your floor truss company they will tell you, they might even tell you that they will not sell you anymore truess
Yeah you realllllyy can not cut trusses... you will probably need to replace it.... Genuinely it could collapse, theres a reason for inspectors to be extreme on this.
Alors Martin il faut ouvrir l'œil ,même ton apprentie, n'a rien vu, là je fais un peu d'humour à la française. Tu as tout fait bien plus qu'à présent .Pourquoi Il faillait déplacer l'évier 🤗🤗👍
Contact the manufacturer of your trusses about you cutting the top chord. They may have a engineering fix for it. Also mention that you cut the connection plate.
I know there is a lot to remember, but in the future you might lay the floor joists such that they will clear the plumbing drain areas. So one asks, "Is there any plumbing that could be in the way as I roll the joists?" Oftentimes when people have problems down the road with houses, it is because of construction errors up front. Some notching is allowed in regular floor joists in the areas of the left third of the span and the right third of the span, but never in the center third of the span. But those are floor trusses, designed by the manufacturer. The manufacturer can guide you on what is best, especially with a 26-foot span like that, plus the weight of water in the tub. At the least, I would reinforce the cut area with some wood, say a vertical piece or two. Also the only thing supporting that wall along the front of the tub is plywood. All walls need some structural support underneath - at least blocking. How I would have supported that wall is to have put a floor truss underneath. Let us know of the outcome. It can be worked out.
Making a notch in the truss as small as it was would not affect the strength of the truss. The safety margin on them is way more than what is required. But. There are people who will disagree. If there’s regulation you have to follow. It’s check mate. If you hadn’t made a video on it no one would have known. Just opinion. Great job you guys are doin.

I was thinking the same thing! I think some plywood gussets would shore that up nicely.
Nah! don't worry about the truss Martin. Just keep away from the cheesecake ! Great vid buddy.
Nice move on the mold spray. Plumbing is looking sweet!
Thanks 👍Is that what you guys used on your place? They make a fogger too.
@@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving no we used vinegar. We’ll have to look into their fogger for our attic.
Don't sweat the truss. You are doing pretty well. One of the worst mistakes of non-professionals is to "stress" the pipe on the structure. Make sure the plumbing is somewhat loose going through floors and joists. Cheers, RGW
Thanks Martin for answering the questions we kept asking over and over again.
You bet
You just weakened that floor joist. Talk to the manufacturer about the damage limits on it, and what you can do to make it safe.
Exactly! He may be able to sister the damaged portion of the truss. But the key is to get the manufacturer to specify the repair and get it in writing from them to satisfy the inspector.

Oh you cut a truss..... The 1 rule of trusses, is you don’t cut a truss....
You may need to replace the whole truss....
Yup. Seen this happen several times over the years. Few people understand the critical design and geometry of trusses.
You can do a repair on it normally it 3/4 plywood on both sides glued and screws everything 3 inches

031021/0510h PST. Thanks. Thanks also for your patience. Great job, hard job. Stay safe stay Blessed. 73s...
I got to ask what is 73s?
Sounds like a plan!
Be sure your re vent is higher than your flood line on your sink
So all the RUclips experts are here . Today is the 20th as I watch this. I'm no expert but I say the floor joists are fine .
Took me 4days toget the time to watch this but second morning with frost in a row so slower start today
I enjoy watching your blogs I’m at Plainview Tx I Clay Lewis
Good job ❤️🙏👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Saludos y Bendiciones 🙏🙏❤️❤️
Pak martin, sarah udh gk upload video lgi ya...
Marty did you say, “Good job, Jen” at 3:36? 😀
Hello Martin and Julie. I love your content, your spirit and the music. If you wouldn't mind telling what is the first number you use on this clip? Thanks for the hours of entertainment and great ideas.
The plumbing waste wont pass code.
Sharp MS turn 90 can only be used horizontal to vertival. The shower 90 after the santee on its back is a medium sweep. You need to use 2 45s or a long turn 90.
The lav 90 needs to be a long turn 90. You can wet vent the lav into the 3" vent and dirty arm over.
The toilet vent is flat. The wye must be at least 45 degree from the horizontal.
Sugest a clean out on the 3" vent, strap every 4 ' down and up because ABS will bow up. Block the closet bend between the floor the top of the horizontal part of the closet bend. The closet bolts will act as a gear puller and the WC will rock. A wood block prevents this.
The truss is toast. You either need an engineered fix or add a truss. If the over span allowances spec. out you might be all right. The truss layout should have been done to accommodate the plumbing. Too bad😂. A left hand tub might have done the trick and they make tubs just for truss abstructions. Another easy fix would use a rodless waste and overflow and plumb around the truss before the p trap. Maybe next time🤷♂️. Stop cutting or bending the truss ties becaus you might get called on that.
The kitchen and laundry are too far to tie into the 3" bathroom vent. UPC 904-2 the horizontal vent must not exceed 1\3 of the total length. Horizontal rise + vertically run = total developed length.
Example: TDL = 9' only 3' is allowed horizontally.
Ps. Cut the plywood even flush to the bottom plate on your tub cut out.
We shall see what the inspector says. I’ll share it with you for sure.

You might get lucky and get an inspector lacking experience but the short turns are going to give you problems down the line, pardon the pun. My 55 years in plumbing say it won't fly inspection wise nor functionality.
Use pex over the garage with the expansion fitting if freezing is an issue. No shark tooth fittings, just buy the pex tool and keep it for the next project.
Looks like you guys are having a blast. Me personally have owner built 4 large homes and plumbed hundreds. The home building has been the most enjoyable. Hey! I'm the boss not the sub.
GOD bless ✝❤
I didn’t knew he’s going to cut into trusses.. 😂
45 Degree fitting will work, but MUST be a "long sweep" 45... longer radius= better flow rate.
Hi Martin and Julie, greetings from Denmark.....love to watch your builds and progress, but was thinking about your vents from toilet, showers and all....in Denmark we sometimes take them out the side of the house....could you not go out in the end of the house on 2nd floor ?? then you dont need to make hole in your roof....
maybe. I'll have to look into it.
You don't need a plumber, you've got youtube 😜 I've always done my own plumbing (I'm 69) and never had a problem.
thanks for the encouragement.
Hopefully the weather is turning up there, lots of off grid work on the homestead to get done at the end of March. Any forecast for around that time ? Another great Video!!
fire wood will be a priority then.
as many have told you the truss idea was bad, as was clipping the reinforcement nailers
there are fixes, plywood on both sides with construction glue and screws but you need to find out what those fixes are. they will fail inspection
Anybody waiting to se the doll move?
why do they have the doll? i'm curious
Lol creepy hey 😂
Creepy Sally keeping an eye on you.
Chucky's sister works for OSHA. Almost the same career path as her brother.
Please don't use click bait I love your videos. I imagined leaks having to cut drains loose holes cut in wrong places etc. But I seen nothing wrong you did a good job ! Not a disaster as is suggested.
some of the commenters would disagree. Seems cutting that floor truss was a disaster and now we will fail inspection. We will have to see if that is true. Wish i thought about it before i cut it.
@@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving sorry around here thats common practice I guess out there you have to get inspections. Love the videos Bro. Keep them coming !
i thought it was 3/8 inch per 10 foot. but i was all over the place in my house and couldnt see where it was going. so last week i made up my mind one bedroom and bath until its 100% finished. and use the kitchen as the overflow work. when i get that done and i hope by Friday. i will move in the living room and pantry and still use the kitchen as the over flow work. and i think by then i will only have on bathroom and bed room to do and i could care less if it takes another year to do that. i just need out of this deathtrap we are in right now. and praying April 1st we can be in the new house.
oh and you are doing a great job. keep up the good work.
Oh no no no no no no, big BIG BIIIIIIIIG NOOOOOOOO, in case of floor trusses you can't notch even a single inch
Your inspector will definitely fails you on it
Which inspector would that be? Plumbing or building?
@@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving building man, if you call your floor truss company they will tell you, they might even tell you that they will not sell you anymore truess
Does Idaho even have building codes ????
Yeah you realllllyy can not cut trusses... you will probably need to replace it....
Genuinely it could collapse, theres a reason for inspectors to be extreme on this.
Alors Martin il faut ouvrir l'œil ,même ton apprentie, n'a rien vu, là je fais un peu d'humour à la française. Tu as tout fait bien plus qu'à présent .Pourquoi Il faillait déplacer l'évier 🤗🤗👍
Contact the manufacturer of your trusses about you cutting the top chord. They may have a engineering fix for it.
Also mention that you cut the connection plate.
I know there is a lot to remember, but in the future you might lay the floor joists such that they will clear the plumbing drain areas. So one asks, "Is there any plumbing that could be in the way as I roll the joists?" Oftentimes when people have problems down the road with houses, it is because of construction errors up front. Some notching is allowed in regular floor joists in the areas of the left third of the span and the right third of the span, but never in the center third of the span. But those are floor trusses, designed by the manufacturer. The manufacturer can guide you on what is best, especially with a 26-foot span like that, plus the weight of water in the tub. At the least, I would reinforce the cut area with some wood, say a vertical piece or two. Also the only thing supporting that wall along the front of the tub is plywood. All walls need some structural support underneath - at least blocking. How I would have supported that wall is to have put a floor truss underneath. Let us know of the outcome. It can be worked out.
Question #4...why did you install the toilet flange before finished flooring?
nice videos...greez from germany ;D
IN europe only the soil pipe would be in 4 inch the rest in 40mm(1 3/4)way easier
Making a notch in the truss as small as it was would not affect the strength of the truss. The safety margin on them is way more than what is required. But. There are people who will disagree. If there’s regulation you have to follow. It’s check mate. If you hadn’t made a video on it no one would have known. Just opinion. Great job you guys are doin.
