Great stuff Suzanne, Erik and Earen, it is a bummer when You are trying to mind things and somebody comes in and damages it through just not being careful, have a good week👍🙏🙂
So much fun. I would wrap plumbing with foam to prevent sweating and causing damage. You expecially should wrap the outside spigot plumbing. A lot of water might flow jn them. . Also insulate your plumbing vent if it's in an unheated location. It helps keeping it from freezing up from moisture that goes up it. Mine froze on me until I insulated the pipe. You will get the sewer gas in the house. I thought it was my dog.
All new buildings should be designed with large roof overhangs. The large overhang provides beauty and protection from the sun, rain and wind. Protection of the doors, windows and siding make for a more durable and comfortable home.
Everyone has their own views. Whenever possible the ladder should be Facing the Work area. To me the porch is too high where attached to the wall and does not slope enough to provide any shade. It is however if one of the 3 small windows above it open, a valuable Fire Escape. Those brackets were likely powder coated and were just fine. Don't forget Hurricane brackets. You will likely want glass panels on the front side of the porch, or railings of some kind. Your son is certainly able to mow the lawn. That remote mower is a pricy toy. Once all the Inspections are signed off you can make a huge storage area above the oversize garage. Put in a beam for a hoist. List your queries and have a scheduled sit down meeting with the Contractor every Monday morning. Most would have had much lower ceilings to further lessen waste space that must be heated and cooled. Any water supply going to unheated areas must have those long (12"+) Freeze resistant taps. Hard wired Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Sensors.
Earen does mow the front area there where I demonstrated the robot, that's why I could demo it there, lol. Since the geese were still on the christmas trees I could not put the bot out there because the weedy spots needed chopping down first ;)
🤔The porch ? Are you going for a rustic ranch look? Vented Sofits? Are you adding framing for a level celing ? It should be vented and insluated aganist condesed moisture buildup. you will make it beautiful.😁🥰 Great video Thanks
We were originally going with a farmhouse style look, but as the house went it, it changed dramatically, and is now 70's style simple modern . . . it (coughs) is fully opposite of what we had planned, but the house has a mind of it's own and we are just following along with what it wants, lol
All homes should be built to accommodate the elderly and disabled. This will be better for everyone. Large wide doorways and hallways make using a cane, walker or wheel chair much easier. Bathrooms or wet rooms need to have flat floors and no shower hump or pan. A flat floor allows for easy access and drains need to provided. Easy to use lever door and faucet handles are easier for the elderly to grip and open. Main floors should include a master bedroom, restroom, shower, laundry and wide walk in closet with few steps to enter. Homes should be designed with aging in place in mind.
New homes should come with solar panels, a rain water collection system and an electric vehicle charger in the garage. Large roof overhangs add beauty and protection for the doors , windows and siding from the sun, wind and rain Blower door testing and air sealing are under appreciated tools for adding confort and reducing heating and cooling costs.
Hiring out the utilities is standard practice because your required to be a licensed electrican when it comes to installing the conduit for underground entrances or the overhead mast and meter boxes if the homeowner does this chances are your local utility will not hook you up to the grid the reason being is most if not all utilites require you to have a permit pulled because licensed electricans know the size wire the amperage and they have the proper tools and training . you require special lug wrenches for connecting in the meter socket and in the main panel . even when the electrican is done the local utility will inspect everything up to the meter socket before they do the final live tapping on the grid aka either overhead hot tapping or padmount connections for underground wires . has for staining dont go buying the cheap stuff go for Benjamin moore stains they look better last longer and better quality i know ive stained decks long enough to know if you want quality you pay for it .
Ahh, yes my camera operates a bit like a phone camera, so when I flip the screen facing forward or back to look at me, it reverses the picture. A bit of a pain, but that's my biggest complaint with it ;)
you can save a lot more money with thinking and planning than building walls yourself...have the HVAC guys supply washable electrostatic filters and thank me later
It was a tough call since it would also have made our basement safe roof larger by default, and we were already planning a big deck on the rear and a small deck on the side :) BUT, we did change the sizing of the hosue from the original design, so perhaps increasing the size of the deck to match would have been good.
I'll take a look at it. I give my editor a pile of music to pick from, sometimes music files are saved too loud by Adobe (Adobe is a pain to work with).

Everything should be heated, but not a bad idea to add insulation just in case ;)
Wow, the pouch looks great 💯👍👍.
Thankyou!
Nice video and good job. Take care and have a blessed and safe week 🙏
Thankyou Billy!

we dont use hurricane brackets. we use this instead www.strongtie.com/strongdrive_interiorwoodscrews/sdwc_screw/p/strong-drive-sdwc-truss-screw
there is no access to them 3 small windows there 16 feet up in the kitchen.
@@ruralridez6165 I hope it works well for you. Does not seem as sturdy as steel brackets but certainly cheaper and quicker.

Everything has been designed for old age at the moment, and the basement as well :)

Out here the blower test is required to get an occupancy permit :)
Commenting early,,,,the tops look like biscuit connections lol...must be there for a reason??. Don't blame ya for cutting them off...looking good...
You'll have to help me out on what part you are referring to, lol!
@@This1LifeWeLive the rounded tops of the steel brackets he had to cut off,,

Hello could you be so kind to explain how come that at 0.58 seconds in the entry door and the garage doors are flipped side left to right
Ahh, yes my camera operates a bit like a phone camera, so when I flip the screen facing forward or back to look at me, it reverses the picture. A bit of a pain, but that's my biggest complaint with it ;)
@@This1LifeWeLive aha that make sense yes. Thank you for explaining. Love the build really nice
this is crazy
LOL the whole build is crazy, lol!

I would’ve made the porch twice as big.
It was a tough call since it would also have made our basement safe roof larger by default, and we were already planning a big deck on the rear and a small deck on the side :) BUT, we did change the sizing of the hosue from the original design, so perhaps increasing the size of the deck to match would have been good.
@@This1LifeWeLive you wouldn’t have had to make the safe room any bigger.
Concrete NOT Cement

that pulsing background music sucked.
