Suzanne , opening scene, always measure full length of what you need, not what you're cutting off, if you assume the wood is the right length, you'll eventually get bit.
Oh yes, I'm not sure what I was measuring in the opening scene unless I needed that small bit, but the wood IS all different lengths so we do measure what we need :) But I can't honestly remember one day to the next, stuff flies so fast around here shooting video is a blur, hahaha
Great progress. Both You and Erik should wear safety glasses at all times when using powered tools. I hope the baler and swather will fit in the garage. Make one door a few feet wider?
*Kia ora (hello) Wow it's all moving along quite quickly now... Once the trusses are up and then the roof & the builders/roofers having a roof party when the roof is done. They put up a flag when the roof is completed to say partytime..... then put in windows/doors and the outside walls... it will be all closed in... for the electricians and plumbers etc to do their mahi (work). 🙂nz*
Not certain why you are spending time building the garage when the house doesn't have a roof and there is no tyvek covering the OSB walls? Wet weather is coming and I would have thought you would get the house enclosed before starting the garage.
I was thinking you could put a loft in the garage also with a set of steps by the wall. Then Eric could have his own man cave or hobby room up above and use that space.
The original plan called for a 3 car garage, we cleared one garage bay into a bedroom and shifted the whole plan :) Since we went extra deep, we do technically have space to fit 4 vehicles in there, just maybe not with two big trucks, lol
Open to suggestions! We've talked to 2 hvac guys and a fireplace store. Fireplace store suggested a pellet stove to heat 4000sqft, and Hvac recommended a furnace along with a heat pump . . . to pass code you need at least a furnace . . . We love the idea of wood heat (we have it), but the chimney is the killer with the tall roof . . . Insilation will be open cell in the roof deck and MAYBE the sidewalls too, or blow in in the walls...
@@cancelbubble6535 there are 3 going up right now, similar to ours,but I think ours is the only 2.5 story one.. most do furnace (code) and pellet stove..
Should have used 1 inch sheets of metal faced insulation in basement area then shoot 1by 4s up an down and 1by8s top bottom for crown and base .and yes I helped design the Hitachi hard nail concrete gun this was before most of you time late 80s yes in Florida we were using trusses in 80s and coil nailer that shoot almost every nail .any berring wall beam suposed to be at top under top plate .and bolts in concrete to hold down sill plate every 8 inches on center in center with 2 in square washer
On the walls or under the treated boards on the cement? I know per code we do have to add foam board insulation to the walls, and we had to add some thick 2 or 3" insulation to the front footings . . . I think that might have been foil faced . ..

@@This1LifeWeLive heat pumps for sure,,,a lot depends on your insulation choices,,,windows,,,doors,,,walls,,,,under floor heating with a couple forst air units,,,plenty of filters,,,,,I'm no expert,,,but I did stay at a cheap as hotel last night...dig n the new channel...that's a tone of stress,,,chin up you guys,,,stick to your dreams.
@@This1LifeWeLive,,personally speaking of course,,,,I recommend not including the garage to the homes hvac,,,block the garage off as much as possible,,keep the fumes out of the living space...a couple cheap little heaters on the ceiling ,maybe a window air conditioner?? Save money as well..
We do have a nice spot in the corner we can add a woodstove if we want, the BIG issue with a fireplace OR woodstove is the chimney. The chimney stack would cost more than the actual stove :(
Ugh! I have heard! I'm really hoping that will be on a limited bases with this build . . . we've changed sooo many things while planning this JUST so we don't have to deal with the 'I wish we would have..."
@@ruralridez6165 that's tough. I hope you can get over it. I still miss my 72 Duster after fifty years. You could turn it into a man cave with all the room.
It's kind of an Alice in WOnderland house . . . things are never as they seem, lol. It SEEMS like it would be very expensive from the outside but it's a very simple house plan and won't take much $$ to finish off.
haha, you know I actually DO need to now because Erik added a VACUUM attachments to suck up all the sawdust as you cut . . . and likely hair too! I usually keep a hair band on my wrist for such times but couldn't figure out where it had gone to from the day before :(
Great stuff Suzanne, mighty work Everybody, looking good Billy Ray💯👌👍🙏🙏😎
😁 WoW its so much bigger . You might be feeding it too much .😆 Fantastic build.. your gonna love it. great video Thanks
LOL, Just Add Water!

Festool has had vacuum hookups on most of their tools for awhile.

The baler goes in the barn over winter, but we plan to add a barn shed to the existing slab to store equipment too ;)
kinda got a kick out of the vacuum system outdoors ....inlight of the framers cutting systems LOL....but it will be nice indoors later

Suzanne the house is coming together nicely. Take care and have a blessed and safe week and I'll see you on your next video
Thanks Billy!
That was fun to watch. Can't wait to see the final results.
Happy subscriber 😊
Good to see you Chris!
Well they clearly don't use OSHA regulations lol
LOL
Looking great (Huge), But its going to be super nice!! Stay sweet
House is looking great 👍🏽 once the trusses go up it will get lot better. 👍🏽
Fully agree!

You got it! And that's pretty much how it all played out too, hahaha!

The garage has the same roof/trusses as the house. So they are going to sheet it all at the same time.
You'll see, don't worry :) This is part of what makes it a barndominium :)
Great video Suzanne!
Glad you liked it!
Yal have monster wall height for sure . Good video yal stay safe
It looks massive when it's empty, that's for sure!
Your going to start making your maple syrup to pay for it. Lol
That will come with the workshop garage :D
I was thinking you could put a loft in the garage also with a set of steps by the wall. Then Eric could have his own man cave or hobby room up above and use that space.
That had been the original idea..
Check local building codes FIRST, plan it later...
Should have went out another 10 feet to have 4 vehicles and other typical items in a garage.. 10 feet two the right .
The original plan called for a 3 car garage, we cleared one garage bay into a bedroom and shifted the whole plan :) Since we went extra deep, we do technically have space to fit 4 vehicles in there, just maybe not with two big trucks, lol
That was the plan but we had to cut back to stay on budget. I plan to build a workshop garage on the double wide slab once it's removed.
Did you guys decide how you're going to heat your new home? What sort of insulation type are you going with?

Huge garage for hay bale storage?
Cats . . . I'm going to build a loft and fill it with CATS :D :D
What's your plans on heating and cooling ?? Wow,,,, that's a lot of open space...js

Definitely need a fire place...or an old big pot belly stove ?? Make it a focal point? Black pipe all the way out the top...unless it's not exposed??

After you build a house, you realize what you would do different. That's a huge garage, but it will fill up fast.

My Challenger was supposed to go alonge the back wall. Not anymore I had to sell it to help pay for the new house.
@@ruralridez6165 that's tough. I hope you can get over it. I still miss my 72 Duster after fifty years. You could turn it into a man cave with all the room.
it will cost you a million dollars to finish a house that big

Nope we are in Michigan :)
Please tie your hair back all you need is a breeze come by and you hair will be suck in to the saw. 🤕

Nobody listens!
Any wall over 8 feet must be mid blocks staggered .
That's what we are looking into :)
