What a great experience for children to have with their parents.
Ya'll are constructing the most perfect foundation. Your study and execution are evident. Great work!
That is the coolest thumbnail! Thanks for sharing everything.
Awesome thumbnail! Another great video!
Your kids are amazing & Logan is quite the star❤
This is getting exciting! And your own excitement really comes through in this video. Great job guys!!!
I haven't noticed any problems with your camera shots. I know there is a reason for this metal lid but I'm sure it will become apparent later when I see more of the process. I haven't built a house before so I'm learning a lot here. Happy Father's day and keep the videos coming. I look forward to seeing these every Sunday.
Great idea, there Mom! Use that wood for shelving, it would complete the circle for the root cellar! From start to finish! Happy pops day!
WOW, YOU ARE DOING SO WELL NOT FAR TO GO TILL YOU ARE INSIDE YOUR HOUSE Calgary Canada is watching (Happy fathers day)
A Bang Up Job👍
DC water heaters work fine, but use it as a backup, install solar water heater they are very efficient and you will only need the backup DC water heating when it gets very cloudy. We have owned a house in Mexico for over a decade, and 100% of our hot water is solar-heated. Only on very few occasions has the water been only luke warm instead of hot. It also means that you want to install a rather large water heater...anyway, redundant power cable is an excellent idea.
Happy Father's Day, Jacob. Thanks for sharing
Happy Father's day. You all are an inspiration. Keep rocking this build.
The tin will certainly help alleviate most of the rain water we’ll get during monsoon. Good job And BTW Happy Fathers Day
Great video!! Your left glove has a small hole in it, not sure if you noticed...
Ur kids will look back and be soo proud of both of u and themselves, doing a great job guys ❤
Some rebar under the roofing might be a good idea,,?
How are you going to stop the concrete from going though the the opening on the cures on root cellar? The little son is too cute, love that he knows what the colors mean.
We'll spray foam the larger openings from the metal roofing. Thanks 🙂
Hi Jacob & Natalie You & your kids are doing a great job..we live offgrid in Australia bush we run gas hot water systems .. would be very interested in your DC hot water system...
but have 5kw solar air-con work good....
Have you drawn out a schematic of all the piping and the exact location for later use, just in case you have to drill a hole or locate a pipe? Just a thought. As thorough as you are I am sure you have. Thank you all for allowing us to share your home build. I wish I could give you a thanks for every time I watch one of your videos over. I also shared your videos about your elevator build with a friend, he was impressed.
So cool. Thanks so much 😊
I love watching your kids work alongside the two of you. And they're learning so much about the build, which will benefit them going forward. Great parenting you guys.
They're great kids too. 👍😊🇨🇦
such amazing work, thinking ahead, and anticipating every possibility. Must keep you up at night trying to shut it off at then end of the day. Your family is such an inspiration. Stay safe!
I think its wonderful how your kids are right there helping. Wonderful family and another great video
Not here to tell you how to build your dream, but I am going to tell you "great dream you're having", don't wake up, LOL
Happy Father’s Day, Jacob. Everything you do is so well thought out and explained to your viewers. Great news about the new camera!😍🇨🇦
great idea with the roof material, definitely will save some time, and a little adjustment for the pipe to come through,,,you look good even with the old camera...love Logans smile!!! what a great talent he has!! and a great helper...love the shelf idea Nat!!! love the commentary on the projects...ah the super is on site for inspection... and the family joins in, how awesome, I like how Eli was tested dad...lol..lots of pipe..and new teeth for the bucket, very nice..thanks for sharing
Jacob, my experience with those specific Redheads is that they are only useful for static fastening applications. I tried using them a couple of times where there was a varying mechanical stress load, and they kept loosening up and pulling out of the concrete. The sleeve that gets smashed out by the nail is a lead alloy, so it's soft and easily deformed by repeated flexing or vibration. That doesn't seem likely in this application, though.
Another awesome video and explanation on what everything is about
Love watching your progress. Hope you are going to tape over all those low-laying ends of the pipes to stop rodents,bugs, and stray concrete splashes. I wish I could come and help you. But hey ho, I'm too old for that and I live in the UK. But I bet there are thousands of people that would do that for free if you could put them up and feed them for a week or two! ❤
Great job and forethought!
One suggestion is to put strings or pullcord in what you have installed. Much easier now by just hooking a shopvac to one end. 😊
Jacob, one thing that I have always noticed when you shoot low light shots is that you shoot towards the west INTO the light which makes the rest of the shot extra dark. In that situation always put the light to your back and shoot away from the light and you will get a better picture.
You guys are doing a great job, we enjoy watching your channel. Mark and Kathy
Please put safety caps on the rebar on the root sellar any member of your family could trip and the result could be life changing
❤ I love seeing the whole family out there working together. You are building a home and memories for those children. God bless your family ❤
Logan - I saw the short - good job! You’ll be editing full videos in no time. You’re going to love a new camera!😍🇨🇦
Just to be saying: In 82 years I have only lived on a slab once (parents house). It had a lot of problems. A crawl space is very handy and I would not want to have to do without one.
Could you please put some aluminum cans on top of the dangerous rebar tops ?
👏👍
It’s so nice to see the whole family including the dog involved to work together ❤❤❤
I see you have new teeth on your bucket.
Yes! We're trying out some new teeth that are supposed to be more suited to our rocky ground. Thanks 🙂
One single panel of hot water solar will do a lot but I would install two because of the flooring 4 x 8 in size each DIY ones are readily available online
Thanks for another great segment of your house build! You’ll be pouring concrete in no time. Take care and stay safe!
Your camera seems fine. Nothing gritty or hard to see. Good job!!
Happy Father's Day to you have fun.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉👍👍👍👍❤
Big steps forward! What, no giant boulder in the last part of the trench? Footers soon and camera shots are just fine.
This went so fast? Glad the children still are helping. I'll be watching for the next one. Thanks
You are the best man why don't you just hire someone to promote your channel
Show Low!!, I thought y’all were from the ash fork area.
Good Morning. Good, how are you? Look like you guys are doing OK, but to keep up the good work. What's the next part for the house What's the next part for the house? Looks like you're handed in the right direction. Keep up. Could you guys later have a good day
We're just about ready to pour the footers. Thanks 🙂
Dude, y'all got more pipe and conduit popping out there than a highs rise apartment complex. Hope Mrs. Natalie can remember where all of it is for you. Great work by all your mini me's doing that grunt work. Take care.
😂😂😂
Happy Father’s Day Jacob. Question: Why put all the electrical in the slab instead of in the walls like most people do? Is there an advantage?
Those pipes go to the outside of the house and are for running power to anything we may want or need in the future. Thanks 🙂
A lot of the electric is run in the walls
Looks great here in Wichita, KS
Love the root cellar! Nice work!
What do you use to record your videos? Cell phone? Go pro? Etc...
Cell phone
Happy Father’s Day🎉🎉🎉 You’re making such amazing progress on your home. Love to see supervisor Eli managing everything.😂 Logan did a great job on the editing. Maybe you might consider joining TikTok and Instagram and using the short form videos to grow your RUclips channel. Blessings to your family.
❤great planning ahead🙏🙂
Why don't you get rid of the elevator, there's no room for humans or food
A ladder would take up the same amount of space and make taking food down very difficult. A staircase would take up half the room. So elevator it is. And all the framing makes it look smaller than it actually is. Thanks 🙂
I m missing the installation for the earthing (ground) ring and the 2 connection to the central earthing point near your electrical distribution. Without, RCD will not propper working
It'll be in next weeks video.
@@aboulderlifeoffgrid OK - I was surprised that you (as an electrician) didn't say anything about earthing/potential equalization.
Hi, just an extension of your discussion about reusing those frames as shelves, you could resaw them so they are not so bulky. It’s such a great reuse of that valuable resource. I am always impressed by how thorough you are as you go through each step. It’s also great to see your kids helping build their future home too, great effort you guys. I do enjoy each of your updates, thanks for sharing this journey.
An afterthought, are you using split system air conditioners? If so you may want to run their drains too. On the electrical, my house had the power through the roof so none of that in the slab, with future repairs in mind.
We do have plans for mini splits. Thanks 🙂
awesome kids!
Reuse all wood

Nice

you could use a deep well socket or piece pf pipe to drive those shoulders down rather than use the claw of the hammer. Also use a spray bottle of water to cool down the pipe so it will stay
Your family is amazing
