When you are making notches in the wood it is important that you don't make them so deep to compromises the integrity of the timber. Use what's called a half lap joint, half the depth on each of the timbers and that will create a "flush" joint (make sure to use some wood glue). Second when you are notching out notches and want to clean up the notch and don't have a chisel, you can take you skill saw , manually pull back the safety guard on the blade, place the blade in the notch, start the saw and move it sideways side to side going length ways along the notch and the blade will cut off all the high points. if you do this you must use caution and maintain a "positive "grip on the saw and keep your fingers away from the moving blade. Or you can take your rock chisel and sharpen it with your angle grinder. Second you put enough lag bolts and brackets on the floor to hold the Titanic. You need to think through what you are doing. There is no downward pressure on the brackets, only horizontal , lateral potential movement, no matter how much weight you put on the bracket it will NEVER move up or down, so 3 inch lag bolts are REALLY overdoing it. Save yourself a lot of effort , buy a box of 2 in concrete screws, use one bracket on the inside of the timber so you don't stub your toes or create a tripping hazard and secure it to the floor with the 2 inch concrete screws directly into the concrete ( a concrete bit should come with the package of concrete screws, if not buy one). Then use 3, 2 1/2 inch lag bolts to secure it to the wood and it will never move without a sledge hammer. Or you could purchase a saddle bracket, which is like a square u bracket with a piece of rebar welded to the bottom, drill a hole in the floor, drop the rebar in the hole and then secure the timber with 21/2 inch wood screws. Google saddle brackets) . You could have saved some floor space by angling your support posts on the floor where it meets the bottom of the wall ( 45 degree angle) then notching out the horizontal timbers and so the angled support post will not be able to slip, then secure them with lag bolts. Then you still have all of your usable floor space.
Regards
And good luck

Yes always think about how much wood is left to hold the weight at any joint or notch
Love that you are so honest and not pretending to know everything. Make mistakes and learn, thats how you become experts. Can't wait for next time❤
I totally agree. Super sweet couple. 😊😊❤. I was just watching the American couple renovating an old farm in Italy on a side of the mountain. " Raising Voyagers ". Today's show on Sunday, he is putting pink insulation square sheets to prepare I guess for winter. I admire couples for all the hard work and no prior experience. Great Job guys, 🎉 keep it up. !!!
I get the biggest kick out of your “commercials”. I bet the sponsors do too. Each video brings more excitement because I can start to see the vision. Keep up the great work!!
I only watch your channel because you guys are so sweet and never give up on your dreams ❤
Just want to say. I normally fast forward advertisement on video's. But not with yours, love the way Dan play out the advert's. 😅😅
Dan, better not let Laura catch you with little Miss Bluetti haha. With such little space I would have kept the space as open as possible and made a murphy ceiling bed so it can be lowered for night time and raised for day. Keep on keeping on!
I love watching your videos, a little escape from the world, please don't take this the wrong way as trying to be positive and save you work in the long run, why not start with two big beams one bolted to the end wall and another going from front wall to back wall, about 8ft off the end wall, then fill in with joists between the two.. no need for posts, and a good solid base to start from.. i know due to the roof angle most of it will be unusable for people but can build storage cupboard either end leaving a space for a bed in the middle.. this is not meant to burst your bubble, but constructive advice.. keep it up and keep going, i love what your doing..
Hi Laura and Dan … in light of your statement “using what you have” does not mean you have no clue about what you should be using …
So well done in making do with what you’ve got … therein is the lesson for all who are holding back on their dreams because they don’t have the full kit ! You two amazing young folk have “seized the day” 👏👏👏
Durban SA🇿🇦
Im a little disturbed by Dan and his bed moment with that big boy power bank thing lol but sweet video again 💪😎
Hi Laura and Dan, you’re getting there! ‘Keep the faith” and continue to look after each other.
❤you guys reccomend a dust mask when sanding also a sander with a dust bag work pretty good keep Rockin guys like i say in the auto industry if you arent screwing up occasionally you arent learning ✌🍕🥂
Laura and Dan hello my sweet friends! Loved the video and the mezzanine build. The sound of rain on a roof puts me to sleep. It is very relaxing. I enjoyed the view of the rain from inside your home looking out through the windows. You were safe, cozy, and dry inside your home. What a blessing! The Noah's Ark reference was so cute. God bless you, much love, and love in Christ! ~John
Matthew 7:25 NKJV "... and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock." ♥🙏
22:39 I don't watch this channel for build tips. I watch it because you two are SO cute! Many blessings and much love to you both!
Here here. 😊
The best Bluetti commercial. Wish you all the best.
It is so nice to see the rain falling there, since the last couple of years were so dry and hot. Nice juicy olives and fruit coming up! Love your channel!
Good afternoon. You both are rock stars at flipping houses , I've watched you all for two years, God bless you both ❤❤❤❤
Busy video guys, ❤ can't wait to see the mezzanine up, some unusual ideas there😊
I always look to see what percentage of Likes to views. You’re over 25% which is testament to how well your audience likes you and your channel.
Come on people, give them a big LIKE!
You two are terrific in the way you learn on the job, but then usually come up with the right solution in the end.
I would just add that in this case, your mezzanine posts only need one bracket at the floor level, not four. The posts are under compressional weight load from above and won't easily move - so one bracket hidden at the back would do, to hold each post in place. Just make sure the posts are vertical, once the platform is in situ.
Great video and maybe some large washers for those bolts ,once again it flew in and was sad that it ended😁
Well done you two, it’s coming along nicely, so chuffed for you. Sending love & best wishes 😊
I love the way you both go over every part of a project many times. Constantly measuring and remeasuring until you're satisfied so that you can continue on.
Thanks for another great video!
When you are on a tight budget, you can’t afford mistakes so what you described how they work, you nailed it!
A good set of chisels is a very worth while investment and makes joinery much easier. You can also use the circular saw itself to do a lot of the work after you've removed the "slices", by simply moving it side-to-side within the notch. Just keep it at the original depth and it will leave a surprisingly smooth surface behind.
OMG...what a great ad vid. Dan you are a natural...I actually laughed out loud and decided to look at the product. Job well done folks..😂😂🙏🙏👨🌾🚜👨🌾😎😎
The True Off-Grid building video. Love you guys.
Hi looking good can’t wait to see it done. Are you having some unusual weather like us in the uk. Done nothing but rain 🦆🦆. Take care stay safe. Xx
Hi Dan and Laura, I hope you are both well? That mezzanine is going to look really great and right up your street, you could have used a flat screwdriver as a chisel it what I used years ago but nothing beats using a good and really sharp chisel to clean out a joint like yours getting a curling shave of wood is a lovely feeling. Same goes for when you cut a joint and fit the two bits of wood together and they are a perfect match and fit snugly together ❤ love it. Anyway I look forward to you finishing the mezzanine next week. Thanks for the update and hope you are hard it. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Brilliant to watch you both, learning and improving.When I converted my derelict barn, I did lots of the "Big" carpentry myself. I used 4x2 or 4x4 when a chippy would have used 2x1 or 2x2. Still looked good and like you, i did it myself. Just love to see you working and enjoying it together. Bet like wifey and i, you have a few spats of screen though. Ha Ha.
Full credit to both of you for getting stuck in and learning as you go.
I might suggest that when you cut those long beams on the mitre saw, you should support the far end of the beam. Put a block under the far end that's the same height as the deck of the saw. The beams should be parallel to the saw deck for their whole length, not angled down to the ground. That way the blade will be perpendicular (at 90 degrees) to the beam. It's safer since the wood is fully supported by the deck while cutting, and you'll get the cut angles that you're actually expecting.
Chin up! You're getting places.
Love the video as always a pleasure watching you two work together and your accomplishments. Stay safe
Awesome job you two keep it up. Wood working tip, make a template for making repeated cuts such as on 4x4 posts for angles, will save you time.
You are so much fun to watch you remind me of my husband and I when we were young and how we built our first house.
Keep up doing it the way you are because we all start like you but we end up professionals. Or so we think. 🤣😂🤣👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
Your channel is relaxing to watch.
Love the sound of all that rain. We don’t get much rain where I live, and it's been really hot for about two weeks now, more than usual. I noticed that the barn stayed nice and dry. A lot of complex measuring going on there, if you get it perfect or close then you deserve the title of carpenters.
I love your enthusiasm and willingness to have a go at jobs you haven't done before.
For future carpentry jobs, you really need a set of wood chisels, a belt sander and an orbital sander.
The quality of your work would improve and your lives would be much easier 😊
And a work bench. It’s so hard working on the floor.
soon be hiring yourselves out to do jobs for the locals, well done you both always surprise me with what you can achieve between you two, stay healthy and happy
Building a real bed for your lovely house ..very good to start making it all the most comfortable. Keep up the good work,Laura and Dan.❤
5:13 Chisel: If you take either a good metal file or course sharpening stone and sharpen the chisel, it would work much better. :)
Just take it day by day you can do this. It is already moving faster than what i thought this part of the job was going to be
Dude I loved that in the bed bit😂
Enjoying your craftsmanship, the barn is coming along. The mezzanine build is gonna be sturdy.
Thank you for sharing 🙋♂️🐈🐈
Thank you guys for the honesty in your videos… Having a go is what life is all about, by the time you get done things that you have done will be so much easier… that’s life… wait each week to see where you are up to …..Cheers to you both from Australia …….
Maybe you can buy on so called "flee markets" for little money "old school" tools, for "new bee" carpenters to expand your assortment... 😃, and no, i don't use the channel for building tips 🤣,but don't worry, you both are doing well and getting better and better.
Congrats on the Bluetti sponsorship ...and it's a big one!
I love you learn as you go. Its so real and realistic. As gut wrenching it is for you, know thats theres a lot of people learning along with you. Thank you both for having that strength to share with us.
You guys are quite the power couple, in my wife's and my opinion, add that to two hard working, great and heart warmed souls and you get a guaranteed recipe to success. Keep it up guys, much love from this side. Btw, we heard a dog bark at some point, is the one, seen in earlier video's, still around ?
Looks like your doing a good job there it will be lovely when finished hard work but worth it
Hi D&L, There's another channel that features homesteaders from the UK/Venezuela living in Portugal. They worked the same way you two do. Stop squatting on the ground and build yourselves some workhorses. You can also buy some ready made. It will save your backs, make the work easier, and more enjoyable. Love your channel.
Dan, you really need to invest in a solid work bench. I know finances are tight, so research if there is a sponsor, perhaps. It would make your lives so much easier, and help your knees and backs. I admire your work ethics and persistence.
When you need to drill extra holes in a bracket screw it onto the pallet and screw another piece of wood against it to act as a stopper. Saves the bracket spinning out of control and the drill going through your foot.
Great work on the mezzanine guys Laura works at some speed lol ❤
What a great job your both doing. Its so nice to see the progress on your home. Love how you take your time to make sure everything is ok, great team work. x
Just keep tackling it one job at a time and victory will be yours! Some things around here we put off for a year or more trying to figure out just how we wanted to do something so don't sweat it, it is all part of the process!
Dan once you have removed the bulk of the wood from the halflap cuts use your circular saw to finish cleaning out or get a set of good chisels .
Love how it’s coming together for you two because you both are rockstars ❤❤😊😊
Hi folks, I love your equipment ads.😂 The best ever and so funny.
Cheers from Aussie.👍
Love y’all’s little house. You’re making a beautiful home.
The fact that you are both trying and giving it your best is brilliant never mind weather you’s are an expert or not. You can only do your best and it’s looking lovely, keep up the grind ❤
love the way you 2 just keep learning Dan get some sharp wood chisels to clean out the notch make the job a lot easier
looking great laura and dan, starting to come together nicely x
There are different kinds of chisels. You would have had better AND FASTER success with the notches had you used something called a WOOD CHISEL. Check them out for future projects.
Laura, my wife wants to hear your football chant. Perhaps you can sing more of it on another video.
Your project is exciting to watch. Thanks for doing all the filming and editing to present them. 👍👍👍
Adding a good bed is So Important! Good progress! 🤎🎉
Always use washers under the heads of bolts !
Well done the both of you. Your wrists must have ached cutting all those notches out. Looking forward to next timex
Good progress. Can't wait to see the mezzanine. Barn sure is looking pretty. Take care and have a great week.
In you spare time. lol. Need a rain gutter for all the free Heavenly water.
Love your videos you'll soon have a beautiful home. You could do with a couple of work horses (in Wales we call them donkeys) to lay out long pieces of wood , it will save your knees and backs. They are usually made out of left over wood and are so handy to have .
Keep going learn as u go i admire y efforts😊
Each addition to your living space is exciting.
Invest in a half decent wood chisel set guys. Will last you years and will pay you back ten fold with all the projects that you’ve still to complete 😁
I thought it was hot in Portugal this time of year??? You can clean out the mortises by sliding the circular saw side to side so the lowest part of the blade crosses over the high spots. Not quite as clean as a sharp wood chisel would do but a lot easier than what you did. Seems like you need a hex socket for the drill to drive all those screws. Can't wait to see it installed :).
Doing great you two 👍🏻 much love from Gateshead ❤️
Cruising nicely there, Laura and Dan. It's looking so much more like a proper home now... Don't Stop !! 😊😊😎😎
It's getting there almost there keep going guys best wishes Phil 🙏
Onwards and upwards good job guys
you guys have such a loveley paradise!
Hi , your channel is amazing; I've never seen this construction work before, you have amazing skills. We would like to show part of your videos in some video/s report about your channel. We will add your link, your name, and your work will be mentioned in the video. Let me know!
Looking good you two! Your getting there!
The talent you two have is amazing!
For a couple who “have no experience”, you both certainly do very well with the jobs that you take on.
My main problem for diy jobs is I talk myself down before I start & also I over-complicate things in my head. It puts me off starting a lot of things I need to do. But it’s great to see that doesn’t exist for you guys. You just crack on & get the jobs done.
Well done. You’re both very inspiring, just for your passion/enthusiasm alone. Keep up the good work😊
Great as always guys.
Well done you are getting there can't wait for the next video.take care ❤
Looking forward to seeing the finished project!
great work ,well done
I hope those brackets don't turn out to be trip hazards. Think about putting a roudned base or something around them. Better to stub a toe than trip and brake an ankle.
Looking good.. I guess you are back in the UK now, how long till you get back to the farm..
I’m excited to see how this turns out..
Sending love from freezing Oz…🌨️💨🌥️
Dan….I totally get that you have to use the tools you have! Sometime it’s just smarter to bite the bullet and buy what you need.I do think a set of chisels from Amazon would put you way ahead for this and future projects. Some are not the best steel but they would last through the barn transformation. Who knows, maybe one of your subscribers or viewers would donate an old not being used chisel or two to help you out? You will need to know how to sharpen them. Laura you are sooooooo good to dive in and do what you can to build this mezzanine. I just wish you would make it bigger. Still with all my criticisms you guys are doing a great job! I can’t wait for each episode! Bye for now.
It will be nice to have your loft completed in the cabin.
Please, please, please build a work bench. Your back and knees will thank you in 20 years.
👍😊
Your doing brilliant , bless you both.
Well done ❤
Looking firward to seeing u both again just as u r human
It strikes me that you need someone to gift you some more tools everyone else seems to some😊
Glad you back. 🙌🙌🙌🙌 You are such a pleasure to watch. Nothing that I can found wrong in your Reno and the making of your video's. 👍👍
I love watching your videos. I look forward to them always. Having said that I feel kinda bad in saying this but wood should never touch concrete unless it's treated wood. If the wooden post y'all are using are treated then please disregard, if not you may want to raise them a bit.
Hi again L&D
Making good progress guys! What a charming place it will be.
Wondering if a workbench would be of great help for some of the projects that would help your backs and get you up off the floor. A couple of sawhorses with a board top could be quickly made and would be easier for you then the floor.
Excited for you with every step you finish and looking forward as you keep on keeping on.
Stay safe. Catcha next week...
Concrete chisels are for concrete and wood chisels are for wood. But so you learn. Best of luck!
Fantastic work
Well done 👍
I'm glad for yous Laura
Excellent work. Keep it up 💪
All them bits of wood you chiseled out reminded me I did not buy tubs of Ice Cream this week, so only left with two litres of Tiramisu to feed both Celia and me. Otherwise you two seem to be cracking on like Irish navvies.
