Why do I watch videos of people doing things I would NEVER want to do?? Because, somehow, they're soothing as hell. Timmy's a good guy too, which helps.
Exactly.
Oh it’ll be fine, do something like this if you ever get the chance! Maybe you’d like it, if not, most of these basic things aren’t that imitating after a person does it, so if it’s ever a necessity you’d know how!
Me too. 😅
100% and it makes ZERO sense but I love it. Also the production on these videos are amazing, just like sickos or mav. Soothing af
Give it a try it might be a thing or another that you love doing never know.
I still can't believe how you know how to do so many things Timmy. Amazing 🤩 ps... not boring watching you make the house up.. in fact it's quite exciting seeing how it all comes together. What could be more lovely than making a lovely home 😊 Well done Timmy.
Timmy, you’re one of the most humble people out there. Skilled in several trades, creative, and motivated yet I’ve never heard you boast or brag.
Ya know Timmy, I don't really care if you post a house build video, truck house video, snowmobiling video, whitewater rafting video, etc. I just enjoy watching your content! Keep up the great work and post whatever you want, because I'll always watch no matter what.
Thanks duder
I've built 3 houses from the ground up for myself. It can be an intimidating tough job if you don't know what you're doing but soooo rewarding once you move in. One tip finish EVERYTHING before you move in or it won't ever get done
That's quite an accomplishment. As well as good advice, but we both know that building something as grand as a house, it's never really done. 😁
I agree with this. I’ve seen so many occupied houses with just Tyvek vapor barrier and no siding. Looks horrible.
FYI ya got that sani tee backwards on that tie in. Looks good though!!!
I second this, I moved into a house that was done for all intents and purposes except for the master bedroom addition, a whole 2 seasons later it's just now getting done 😂
Thats so true if you can finish first do it or you’ll be staring at it for 20 years saying F it. 😂
I’m a 62 year old woman who is thoroughly enjoying watching you build while your truck house was in the shop! Keep it up 🙂
I'm glad you finally turned that vent tee over the right direction for venting before you glued it. (9:53) My OCD was in kicking into overdrive. Good job on the build. You will never starve when you know how to work with your hands.
Me too 😁, I kept talking to Timmy through the TV...."turn it over" before you glue it
I"m glad someone else was thinking that too! I kept telling myself "He can't hear you yelling through the screen", at a video that was recorded long before I watched it no less - and I was like "I bet he hasn't screwed that fu@#ing stove back in place in the camper yet either!" - I need medication.
Nice work 👍.
Timmy if you have not enclosed the bath tub/s be sure that before you do you somehow insulate the tub exterior and cavity so that when filled with hot water the hot water remains as warm as possible for as long as possible.
When your friend who helped with the plumbing comes over to hang out, you two should use the top deck.
This way you can say you have a Fiddler on the Roof
(A bit obscure, I know, but the Googles will get ya there)
🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏻💯🎻 on the roof🤣🤣🤣
Enjoy all you're videos, no matter what's going on
I'm always impressed with people who can do shit I can't do.
Everything you do is an adventure, thanks for taking us along.
Timmy, I built a house 1/2 that size in 1987. I get overwhelmed just wondering how I did it all, mostly by myself, sometimes one friend or my Dad giving me a hand. I I was 27 then and super tough and strong, now almost 64, tuckered out, lol. Glad you’re doing it now, you’ll have a long time before you can’t climb the stairs. It would literally cost me 10-15 times as much today as then. I had mine paid for in about 7 years, busting my butt. I have continued to add some, remodeled some, etc, but there’s probably few things as satisfying as building your own home then owning it one day. I’m jacked up with fibromyalgia and back trouble now, so I’d be in hot water if I hadn’t but the bullet at a young age, looking good!
I love the house building videos. I cannot wait to see the finished product. And I can't wait to see how you decorate it
They’re coming!
Timmy I think you could do anything that comes to your mind and it would be interesting. I’ve enjoyed every aspect of your journey. You inspire us to try new things and get out there. Love what you are doing my friend.
It's reallly good to see that you are healthy and thriving @ Truck House Life although I must admit you reallly blew my mind the day we all went snowmobiling, ghost riding and para sailing all in one of your videos. I have never been able to find that video again. I would bookmark it if I could find it. The air time was awesome!!! Timmy if you remember the video hook us up so we can view it again. >@^_*@
Feel proud. This is a hell of an accomplishment. You have worked SO hard. Bravo!
Thanks!
My 36" countertops have the top of the trim plate at 12". Going higher would start getting pretty close to the cabinets. Definitely don't want 20".
Yep. My upper cabinets are only 20" above the counter top.
Timmy.. Countertops in kitchen are 36-37 from finished floor.. Bottom of upper wall cabinets are usually 54 to the bottom. So roughly 18 inches between them. Outlets are centered on that.. So 36+9 to center of rough-in box. Plus the 1-3/4 to the top of the boxes. 47 to top of box from finished floor is a good number..
Howdy Timmy! Almost to 500,000 ….wow! Keep on trucking and saddle up !
Timmy thanks for your discount code at Complete Auto,i just ordered front and rear fox 2.0’s for my truck.97 F350 XLT crew cab,long bed with power stroke diesel.Couldnt find them anywhere until these guys sized me up 👊👊
Can’t wait to see the finished project. Good content. So glad I came across your videos.
I wish I had your knowledge and skills! I’m lucky to remember to put the seat down in the bathroom!
Do you forget to put the seat down for yourself before you sit? I don't get it
@@LF12468 you’re not married are you?
I don't get what being married has to do with you forgetting to put a toilet seat down before you take a shit. Are you ok?
@@donaldnorth3714 Oh I get it. You're one of those guys that sit to pee and take orders from feminist wives. What a miserable existence you have.
@@donaldnorth3714 If it is like that then thank God I'm not. Do you allow her to put other restrictions on you voluntarily? That's more like your mother right?
By now SNOW is a 4 letter word in AK. Winter is just too long.
This home is an oasis and all you can need or want! Excellent build!
I like your little car Tim. Pretty practical for when the trucks down or just to run to town.
I love the look of this cabin. It’s different in a good way. The outside will be as nice as the inside.❤
Take a look into the canless LED lights, that's all we install anymore, less costly than the old cans by the time you do trim and bulbs. Simple to install, just map where your wires are, we snap lines and drill the holes after drywall is up but before mudding, taping, and texture. Although you'll snap your fingers a few times with the damn spring levers that hold them in. Lol The better ones have multi selectable lumen levels, some even have a night light ring that is activated by a quick on/off flick of the switch. Those are real nice especially when you have frequent guests, we had a client go with them in various areas because he's frequently hosting folks on religious missions.
This series is fantastic, i love watching all of the planning and figuring things out without me having to do a thing. After 25 years of being a homeowner i am all done with projects. Selling and going back to renting in a nice building where someone else can fix things! Can’t wait to see the finished house.
Your house is amazing and it's not even finished !! It's going to be AWESOME !! Thank you for sharing with us 🎉🎉👏👏🎉🎉💗💗
Looks like your dreams are coming true! Good job, it sure is a complicated way to live compared to your old truck house life!
was driving and saw your cool ass build from the road! i looked to my left and i was like no fucking way that’s THE truckhouselife cabin build
Greetings Timmy..spring is slow in coming to The Yukon Territory..+10C today..thankyou for the grrrreat videos !!😊❤😊
That place looks incredible, you should be extremely proud of yourself.
Thanks Paul!
Your house is coming along amazing!! you might want to consider under cabinet power strips so your backsplash isn’t broken up by outlets
You have awsome design of your home good layout an spacious with stunning views 360 degree's awsome job
Love the videos of the house and your travels thank you for sharing it with us all and thanks from Fort Worth texas
Wow love the build Timmy I am learning so much about a house build so interesting and then the anticipation to see the end results this is a seriously beautiful build and the views are breathtakingly beautiful it is something to see someones vision come to life. Well done Timmy.
The house content is awesome! Love the differences each week! :) :)
Both Tim and his father build amazing houses all by themselves. Very impressive.
I find the build quite fascinating. Taken from paper and made into reality. I think it looks beautiful so far. Can't wait to see it finished😊
man I love the amount of outlets you put in your house, its never fun having too few and trying to run cords exc.
I really love your construction videos. Your explanations are A1. Thanks Timmy.
Man I so enjoy these house videos, living in the city in phoenix az, this makes me want to get out in the desert country, like BAD! Thanks for the videos Tim, I know this takes work.
I like seeing the transformation from structure to a home. This content makes the anticipation of the truck house even better. I like the look of the outside of your home and look forward to the cable railing on your stairs
Tim congratulations on taking on building a house and doing most of the work very big project!! Your doing a fine job pat yourself on the back. And remember there’s only one way to eat a elephant one bite at a time
You are doing an awesome job. Really appreciate all your videos😊
Thank you so much 😀
Timmy about to have the coolest bachelor crib in all of Alaska. Hell yeah.
Cool house and all, but those are the most awesome crocks I’ve ever seen.
The house looks great Tim it's a lot of work but it's all worth it
Hollyyyyyyyyyyy that rooftop deck is amazing
Awesome video as always Timmy. The cabin is becoming more and more awesome.
This is awesome, really looking forward to more vids, such a stunning house and location, not jealous at all
Hi Timmy. Im a 77 yr. Old woman, and i love all your videos. Please keep them coming. Lovong your pad.
The cabin is looking spectacular Tim
You have done a great job on it
I love all the videos and I don't care what you are doing. Always look forward to a new video. Thanks for the cabin update. Can't wait to see it done
Love from Ohio
Ward flex or flexible gas line is the best thing since the internet lol I started using it back in 2001 n never looked back!
From your truck home to a really big real home you've taken on quite the project but it's going to be well built and beautiful when you're done cause that's how you do it! Keep on keepin on.
Enjoy every moment...
In my house I have two electrical outlets under the kitchen sink. One is for the garbage disposal and optional water filtration system. The other is for the dishwasher.I love your videos Timmy!
Great to see more house build video, that place is phenomenal! Talking about your TV and where it will go and it not being a focal point resonated with me, and you might consider a laser projector instead. You can have a nice wood box hiding one of those screens that pulls down and then have a huge TV when you want to watch it without it being so visible. Can't wait to see that place finished!
LOVE anything YOU do....because its insanely addictive to watch, Not to mention SOON to yourlist of HATS you wear.....LANDLORD...omg, you one busy Dude...lol Keep the stoke Timmie and that GAS line to your outdoor firepit was too easy.....and as you say....WERE rolling!!! Shout to Timmies Dad and Mom for his work ethic....( you dont get anywhere in life without hard work....Cheers, and looking forward to see what you do on the inside....Cozy Cozy ...the view from your DECK is Killer...I see the mountains, the water....and the STARS....omg!!! Warmest of regards, 1000 islands Canada
Great job Timmy - absolutely in awe of the job you’re doing - love how you create your own luck and a solid future - thanks man !
Look at that view from the deck! Breathtaking! 🏔🏔
Loving the house content man!!! Keep it up till you finish it!!!
This is all interesting! It’s so much to know, then put into practice. As you went along I kept thinking about running all the wire everywhere! 😳😂 Such a beautiful house you’re creating- I love it! I don’t know how you do it but you make it all fun- from building to camping to snow adventures. I think you could make reading a phone book interesting. You have a sweet disposition and engaging personality. ❤
Thanks for sharing the cabin/house build videos! I’m really enjoying it! You’re doing a great job Timmy!
Amazing build Timmy. Don't forget your going to need a good size breaker box to support all the circuits you're going to need for all those outlets and switches.
Love the house build!!! HAHA.... also love your "pretty cool" endings on descriptions. lol
Yellow Gas line looks sweet /good quality 👌
You should use scrap wood that's 3/4" to quickly mark your pieces instead of using a tape measurer ;)
Same for measuring to the floor, make a jig, rinse and repeat...
I enjoy all your content, you film and chat in such a way that every video is engaging and captivating. Bring on all the content!
House is looking amazing, can really see your creative mind at work.
Crazy to think that your first ever video on YT was 16 years ago 😮😮
Truly gifted with many talents awsome channel keep making a difference with your videos truly amazing!
Hey, hope you're fine ? Not sure in the USA, but in Canada counters, top outlets are normally 42 inches from the floor 😊 54" for switches and 60" for thermostats very nice house and project. I love it BTW
Really interesting. There definitely is a method to your madness. Can’t wait till your truck/house is functioning again!
You are a hard worker.The place is coming together.Take care and be safe . 🇨🇦
I dig the house content. Fun to watch the project progress. You’re one ambitious guy.
Hey man. We use weather proof boxes for all the outdoor outlets. Just a little fyi. I live in Maine and we get weather. But your in Alaska, you’d definitely want weather boxes for outdoor outlets. But rock on man 🤘
Keep the house videos coming!
I like The house, more of building plz manny thanx from sweden
good to put motion sensing light switches at the tops of all stairs and inside + outside entry doors
Cool to switch it up and show us what you have going on in your life. Keep up the good work!
Says 'I don't want the TV to be the focal point.' Proceeds to describe a very focus-worthy TV setup. 😁
Right in front of two windows too, awful location for it 😂
One word "jig", use for box height and depth far easier then measuring everytime!
Just got off a long day at work, body sore, knees on fire. Silver lining is new Timmy vid and I'm enjoying a big mac. Cheers
A foot or so before roof penetration expand to 4.inch and out the top. The larger bore vent will prevent icing which can affect vent performance.
Amazon smart LED lights would be perfect, like $300, you could do the whole spot and use color schemes.. Walk in, say turn on lights for X X or whatever, and can do up to 100 dif colors.. I use soft orange during night and a bright light in day. If im watchin movies, i use purple in ceiling
cool:)
Love this content as well. Running electric has always been fun for me for some odd reason.
For the stair case lights and room lights or a hall way light you could use a " Wechselschaltung " thats a 2 way switch so you can always switch on and off where ever you are...Unfortunately i don't know the US term for it ..but the shematic will pop up in Wikipedia
Love the house content…can’t wait to see more!
I hang on every word...love the house build, looking forward to wiring
Loving the house content can’t wait to see what you do next. Type of flooring how much insulation you will need it would be nice if you could spray foam the inside of the house but that stuff is real expensive.
I cannot wait to see this house completed! It is going to be amazing.
Timmy you are definitely a Jack of all trades!!! This house is going to look amazing when it’s all done ❤
HEY, my friend Truck House Life I like to watch you put your house together what goes where watch the video and how you do it
very interesting, keep up all the good work, I will be continuing watching the house come together in final touches when you finish
it
If you use home automation tricks, you can turn on one light, kitchen, and it will in turn fire up a bunch of under cabinets, over cabs, dining room, etc all without any special wiring and what not.
Timmy, we really enjoy the channel and your house is going to be awesome. I do have one suggestion. The switches for the entrance and garage lights should be WiFi switches. That will let you turn in your lights when you come home. I hate walking into a dark house or garage. The Kasa switches from Amazon work well and the app is ready to use. They are just normal switches otherwise.
No Sheetrock for fire protection, it’s your house, not judging you, I love your build, will honk when going by
Your porch outlet has to be GFI also. Usually people put outside outlets where bathrooms are because they use GFI in bathroom for power out. Required to have outside outlets front and back of house
My kitchen outlets are only 4.5" from the top of my counter to the bottom of the outlet. Building codes must be different. I do love to watch these types of videos. My biggest problem is I start thinking I can do it. Planning and patience are not my strong-suit.
If you are doing wall mounted TV's there are some nice boxes for mounting and hiding cables in the wall too.
