From beginning to where have come you simply have done an excellent job!
Trying! 👍🏻
You really ought to tag his business in the show notes to really boost his business! He is someone everyone would want to hire! Of course, after you have finished with his services and no longer have a need for them. LOL, I suspect he will be rather busy after that! The house is looking amazing for real! After the stonework it will POP!!
This is becoming such an absolutely gorgeous house. I love how you do so much yourselves but how the right skilled craftsmen where it matters, like making those difficult tiles or the stonemasons. Great example for others!
WOW!!! Incredible craftsmanship!!! So beautiful!!! Well done!!! You found the right people!!! You must be so delighted!!! TY
I'm looking at that skinny shadow between the top step and the porch and it is ABSOLUTely PERFECT! My compliments to JP :)
I know! 😳
JP is masterful in his craft, and his crew also amazing!!! Loved it when JP was directing the money shot! Lol It really is a beautiful home!!! Blessings to you and your family.
Been watching since before you started digging. Unbound persistence is paying off. Looking really great. I hope you feel the accomplishment you are showing all of us.
Adapt, Overcome, Persevere 😉
The hillbilly drone shot captures an elevation that reveals how appropriate the house design is to the landscape. Well done.
Love watching them guys work. It's looking so nice.
Thanks 👍
Really enjoying your build; been with you right from the beginning and you are just doing such a great job.
Thanks for hanging around with us! 👍🏻
Amazing what that concrete driver can do from his cab! Very precise delivery of just the right amount in the right spots to fill in - kudos to him and the guys on the ground :)
He is their best driver and is super good with that concrete chute.
Your forever home is beautiful...I've been here since you moved from Suburbia....and I'm so happy for how far you've come in your dream..I remember how angry I was at that first wellwater drill🤗 I can exhale now! Thank God for JP & Crew
Absolutely Amazing. I never dreamed this much work goes into a house. I'm exhausted just from watching all of it. Can't wait to see the next step.
Absolutely gorgeous 😍 I'm so happy for you guys. Each day a step closer to completion!! Bless you guys!

Absolutely beautiful! Sitting upstairs on your porch looking out at that view with your coffees in hand, is going to be EVERYTHING ❤
Jack of all trades, they are hard to find now. It looks great, can’t wait to see the stone work.
Wow!! I'm a little giddy... it's really coming together! And beautifully!! So happy for you guys!! Smiles and blessings...

Ugh

He may have more square footage in his "Not-so-small-house-on-a-hill" but your view beats Matt Carricker's all to he!! 😀
Oh My! getting closer to home every day! bet you're itching to get in! you need to get a couple of good rockers for the porch! :)
Aloha! Very beautiful! Good job JP!!!!

Exact DIY video I needed! Thank you for always posting great content ❤
Awesome! Thanks again for sharing!
Looks great, but I didn’t see how you actually made them!
Looking great
huh I see 2" on 1 side under that porch lip and 2 1/2" on the other side under that lip [between step and lip of porch]. Damn your good :) just picking, you've worked your ass off and have made a beautiful home.
How much did it cost you to have these stairs built? I’ve gotta build a 4 step set up at my house and I’m curious what it cost just in materials versus letting a professional do it
Glad to hear all those concrete block structures are gonna be covered with stone. Looking forward to seeing that... I'd bet it's gonna look AWESOME!
Oh my goodness, Looks like occupancy certificate is close. 😎😎😎😎👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Looks great.
What step dimensions (tread & rise) do you end up having with those blocks ?
And, were the blocks filled with cement or concrete ?
16x8 and filled with concrete.
I love watching such skilled labor in action! Those guys are most definitely masters of their craft.
What Is The Block Count For Those Steps? I'm Going 6 Steps High.
Did you fill the block core with aggregate and then topped it off with cement or was it all cement core?
You can fill it with either. You can use broken chunks of block too. Just fill it all smooth when you pour the concrete.
I wish I had invested in concrete before you started your build!! ha
Yeah the ready mix plant loves me 😂
Now more ease to walk into your dream house each day something new getting done I think in the home stretch now I'm here waiting
I've recently learned about SWPPP. Do you need to follow those requirements because your home is so remote?
No
😯👍👍👍👌
I didn't get to see wether the steps were left hollow or filled completely with concrete or block? Thanks for the video
They are filled completely
fully grouted with mortar
Looking great. Are those block steps solid block all the way through? I don't see another way to support the blocks at the top.
Yes totally solid and all the cells are filled.
With an 8 inch tall block, you are 1/4 inch taller than what is allowed by code for riser height. Personally I couldn’t care less, but I’m trying to figure out how to do this on a home I’m building and have it pass inspection.
What's the riser height when you add stone? Is your local code different than it is at this location? Can you change the riser height by fanagling the amount of stone set?
@@spencerhansen8374 I just found out that I am allowed to go to 8 inch riser height on exterior steps.
Note to viewers… (9:02) When you hire a mason, get one who brags!
🤣
Preferably one who is legal to work.
Holy fuck, those edges though 😍.
A little concerned about the first step down off the porch.. it seems much bigger of a drop.. or maybe its just the camera.. hard to tell. from here is does look twice the rise as the rest of the steps.. They do look solid and wow perfectly straight and plumb.. that guy knows his stuff
Wait until stone is installed
@@Guildbrookfarm lmao.. Of course!! =D
All that hard clay.... is the Mrs. going to do some pottery?
The up and down of the building. just saying
Are you going to live in the house forever? Or sell it?
We plan to be here for quite some time.
What is the build cost so far?
All of us are wondering the same thing. One could get close to the number if one thought thru the costing out the key items (with an error-factor. I just looked at the place as a 4Ksqft home, with high quality (everything), @ $70 to 80 per sqft. I might be close or way off ;)
What is the budget for this home? TIA
.
I hate the fact that the tradesmen don’t wear kneepads. I know a tiler who had to give up in his thirties because his occupation had ruined his knees resulting in a massive drop in income and a lifetime of pain.
👀👀👀🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸☕️☕️☕️👋👋👋
Will you have a ramp? In case someone in a wheelchair visits or an elderly person
Where would you guys be without those Mexican workers?
Probably hire some Americans that would keep their money in America 🤔
They are Americans 😏
Sorry thought I read Mexicans
Honestly this seems quite overbuilt for a mature couple with two teenagers who are probably going to move out soon. I’m currently shopping for a new home in Ukraine and like, a 725 square foot home with a giant garden for $10k is totally normal and attainable.
They don't live in Ukraine.
HAHA, you have to understand both the US and the Eastern European cultures to reconcile in your mind what they are doing. I live in Eastern European and I see no problem. They are building a high quality luxury home. No one world ever build that here, and if they did the people dwelling in the home would tear it all up. You just cannot compare the cultures....
