its a lot of work to build a house of your dreams and when complete you can look back and say we did it all by ourselves a great memory and a great accomplishment for both of you well done i built mine at 22 years old and it makes you feel real good after
Nice work!! Been binging your channel and love the effort and attention you're putting into it. I'm sure a crew would do it faster, but I'm doubtful that the precision would be the same?
A crew could certainly do everything we do 1000% faster, but for most crews yes the precision would decrease. And we don't learn anything that way so where's the fun in that 😁
Ive seen some people add the pressure treated sill plate anchored to the slab then the normal framing bottom plate nailed to that. Others just frame out the bottom plate using pressure treated wood and anchor that directly to the slab. Any reason as to which way is right and why?
Personal preference as far as I know. For the exterior walls we don't have a double bottom plate but interiors we do, can't remember why we did it that way honestly. May have been something to do with anchoring
Do you think it would be a good idea to stick threaded rods or bolts into the rigid foam to tie down the interior walls after concrete is poured? The idea is to make these rods/bolts to stick out of the concrete everywhere the interior wall should be and protect the radiant floor from accidentally drilling in a wrong place? I'm really concerned about this because the cost of mistake is very high. I know that some people just glue the interior walls to the floor rather than drill for the anchor bolts but it also seem sub-optimal to me.
I would avoid leaving anchors sticking up, it will make screeding the slab difficult and uneven right where you want it the smoothest (under the walls). Just carefully measure and document where your tubing runs are, you will be good 👍🏼
I have enjoyed watching your videos. You may be doing it slower, but the average framing crew would not have taken the time to get everything right, like taking a header back down. I am planning to build a house next year and keeping a list of all the specialty tools you two are using, and I plan to add them to my toolbox.
Thank you!! We are working on formatting all the various lists, spreadsheets, budgets, etc. we have used for the project into something we can make available on our website. By the end of the summer that should be ready

Awesome! Yep, we're having a good time with it!
That boom has been worth every penny!
It absolutely has! Definitely keeping it around for future use!
Nice sharing my new friend. watching here from Philippines.
Thanks and welcome!

I am so happy for y’all! It’s really starting to take shape. :)
It is!! Thanks so much 🙏

"I don't trust you because you've made a lot of mistakes in the past" 🤣 This is my life 18 years into my marriage.
lmaooo
Are the sill plates treated wood?
yep

@@MasonDixonAcres yep, that makes sense, thank you!

Mazel Tov! 💍
Thank you!!
Hey so my wife and I are planning to our new home on slab.I'm nervous about it if the slab is not perfectly level how did the flooring sit? Thanks
This is utility space which will only get epoxy coated
Suggest to watch videos from Larry Haun about framing a house.
Would have been easier to just cut the plate
