- As we continue to build we finally made it to the part where we start using wood! This may not seem like a big deal, but it means the house is going to start going together faster, and it is a medium that I have experience and am comfortable with!

My Wife and i are starting a very similar project in Colorado this spring. Its been great watching your videos and seeing all the progress you have made. Its given me a lot of confidence in doing all this myself. You guys have done a fantastic job, well done and thank you!!!
I'm glad you have enjoyed our videos and that they have helped build your confidence! Our whole goal was to show people that it is possible to do yourself. Good luck with your project and let me know if you have any questions!
Thank you both for doing the videos. Not only did I learn a lot from them but it slowly gave me the courage to move forward with our build. We now have the first floor and garage framed in and are about to order the I-Joists for the top floor. Your advice to get the DeWalt books was a huge help. Enjoy your home and thank you again.
Thank you! We set out to inspire people and it's so nice when we here that we've helped people have to confidence to make the jump and do things they never thought were possible! Let us know if you have any questions and good luck with the rest of your build!!
I’ve watched several of your videos. I plan to watch all of them. I can’t possibly thank you enough for sharing your work. Thank you, sincerely.
Glad you are enjoying them! if you have questions about anything let us know!
I'm very impressed. Keep up the good work.
Thanks I appreciate it!
I have seen the comments about the sill plate insulation. I think you are eventually going to regret not springing for a rubberized sill plate strip. Spray foaming the edges wont do the trick
Use a bigger drill bit. One size larger than the bolts.
I did end up using one size larger than the bolts, my holes just weren't perfectly aligned and some of the vertical rebars weren't perfectly vertical so it took a little persuasion :) . Thanks for watching, and your comment. I hope you enjoyed the video!
Good video...just 2 observation:
1.- Your anchor bolt are all rusted...invest a bit more on non rusted material.
2.- I see no sealant barrier between concrete and Sill Plate.
Thanks, we sealed the sill area later with closed cell spray foam, and they weren't rusted when we got them, but being in the weather for a while didn't help!
There is an old statement of wisdom by Justin Bieber, "You don't go to into the music studio with the musicians that you want - you go with the ones that you have."
Normal people with aspirations to tackle an enormous project like this have to have to look at the big picture, and not get set back by minor bumps in the road.
I could never do what you all are doing. My wife would never let me.
There were deffinately times where it was hard to see the big picture, but it's paying off for sure! Thanks for the kind words and watching!
Also maybe if you build your wife a "she shed" first she'll be more open to the idea!!
No sill seal?
Was the shimming for your sill plates due to the concrete not being completely level?
Yeah the forms were high in one spot an I had planned on finishing that spot to the correct height, but I totally forgot on the day of the pour.
@@PootsPastures thanks for the reply. I'll be following your journey closely. Glad your ICF video was suggested while I was searching for "ICF crawl space".
What is your total square footage of the cabin?
Do you have a final budget in mind (house only, not land or other land improvements)?
@@gabelumby8206 the total square footage is 996, the footprint is 32ft x 20ft. And as far as total budget, we should be dried in with windows, doors, siding and roofing for a little under $30,000 so I'm hoping the interior costs about the same so total around $60k for the whole thing

How high was the high spot
@@BrianBriCurInTheOC if I remember correctly about a quarter inch high. I thought about grinding down the concrete to the correct height but wasn't very confident I would get it close enough and don't have the tools to do it myself
Any sill insulation?
Yes! foam in betweenn the sill and concrete to air seal, we just did it after, and didn't film it.
Thanks for watching!
How are you going to level up the sill plate with that sloppy concrete work ?
No sill foam?
Because of the shimming of the sill a normal sill seal type of foam wouldn't have worked, we did seal it it just happened off camera
what is your foundation dimensions?
32 feet x 20 feet, the fitting is 12" tall and 24" wide, the stem wall is 8" thick about 48" tall
Why an ICF crawl space?
We decided on an ICF crawlspace because I did not feel comfortable making forms for a monopour out of wood myself. And I did not want to hire somone to do that/ lay block. So the ICF's were the easiest way to go for a DIYer, and it acts as the insulation for what will eventually be a conditioned crawlspace.
Hope that answers your question! Thanks for watching!
Poots Pastures Yes. Thanks.
Good reasoning. How much icf costed more or less compared to other options
Should have gone 100% ICF Bro
I thought about it, I'm just way more comfortable working with wood rather than cement so that was the big issue for me. But I do think full ICF houses are freaking awsome!
Didn't catch it did you sill seal?
I don’t think he did I was wondering the same thing
No sill seal, why ?
We went back later and used a closed cell spray foam to seal the sill. we didn't use sill seal because we had a issue with a couple areas of the top of the wall being low.
Did I miss sill barrier installation?
We went back later and spray foamed each side of the sill to seal it, we just didn't film that part. Thanks for watching!
Very strange, I don’t see you sill sealer.
Covered in other contents. We used closed cell foam layer later.
Maybe this guy should build a birdhouse first... Then a dog house... Then perhaps an outhouse.
The bird house didn't turn out too well and the dog house fell down so we decided to skip the outhouse step. Thanks for watching!
Good for you! Some people just have to look down on others because of their own problems. You are doing great. Take care
