    This is the 14th episode in a new series following the construction of a small, but very stylish, vacation home for one of our clients step by step. We are calling it The Modern Mountain Getaway, and it features vaulted ceilings, a huge wall of windows, and lots of outdoor space for the owners zen garden! In this series, we will highlight building techniques, building codes, order of operations, cost, building materials and tools used, and also even talk about the problems we run into during the build! This is going to be good fun.. And the best part is that YOU can rent this home for your own mountain getaway when it is complete!!
    On Episode 14 Jaime, Erik, and the Perkins Crew Take this home one step closer to being finished. We start out with prepping for and installing the tongue and groove ceiling over the covered porch and zen seating area. This is a pine tongue and groove finished with an exterior deck stain (we did this in our shop). Next we move to the inside to prep for the floating shelves that will replace upper cabinets in the kitchen. We are installing brackets that we fabbed-up in the shop that fasten to the framework to make for super-strong floating shelves! Next, Erik and Jaime modify the exhaust fan shrouds for the bath and dryer to look up to par! We take out the ducks and put decal blocks behind them for a fit and finished look. We find that it’s the small things that make for a quality job!
    And as always, we include footage of the Perkins crew enjoying life here in the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina. There is tons of great information about how (and why) we are doing these processes the way we are. These videos paint a very real picture of what it is like to on the job with our crew for the day!
    We are building this home on a budget of course, so we will also be discussing how we choose materials (and designed the house) with the budget in mind! This is a huge part of any build, and one that I think is overlooked in many RUclips videos.

  • @paulstuartwilson485
    @paulstuartwilson485 4 года назад +9

    I gotta say that I really appreciate your attention to detail in so many aspects of the construction process. You guys apparently really care about what your customers/clients think about your craft, not only at the point in time of them taking possession of their house, but also years down the road after they've lived in the home for several years. Bravo to y'all for all of the minute details that I have always considered important and many other "contractor types" thought were way too much trouble. But, I firmly believe that if you are being paid good money for a job, then you should be as attentive to every small detail as possible in order to continue your chosen vocation. Great job, gentlemen. And, Ray, Diabetes isn't a joke. My wife has had it for years and it's a constant reminder that we have to take care of ourselves and our loved ones. God bless all you guys for the fantastic job you do.

    Jamie,
    I used to work at Lowe’s in the “outdoor power equipment” or seasonal department in Laurinburg, NC. Had an older gentleman come in and was looking at the chainsaws. I walk up to him and as I’m walking up to him I notice he is a below the knee amputee. I strike up a conversation with the gentleman about what he’s looking for and what kind of work he’s looking to getting done with the saw. I swear to god, he tells me, “I’ve got a stump I need to take care of.” I sold him a Husqvarna.
    I’m glad to see you’re also keeping an upbeat attitude about your situation.

  • @TheRealJonahWicky

    Jaime, pro tip: just hold your block of wood up to the siding and cut from there using the oscillating saw. No need to mark it and hope you hit the line… speaking of the 4” hole repair. And use a small piece of flashing above it!

    Just a rookie tip on using those big hole saws. To avoid it spinning the drill on you and potentially breaking your wrist set your drill on "screws" setting. This way drill will just start skipping when the hole saw binds instead of spinning on you!

I don’t even feel sorry for him, I’m happy that he can come to terms with it, joke abt it, and most importantly, get back on the horse so to say... I think we could all learn something from his attitude... it says a lot about your character, but either way the most important tool is still your brain.

Curious as it looked like you guys did that with almost all the wood (and wood-like products) you used on the build.
