" Why would I want to lock em ?" I'm enjoying the difference between a shop carpenter and an outside carpenter. lol. Even a big difference between the "moves".
Thanks for all the videos you've kept us informed and entertained with. Matt, you and Donovan are having too much fun...I've a question for either or both of you. Watching you use those Red Torx construction screws reminds me of some I've seen that have a short ways down from the head there is about a ¼ inch or so of thread that goes the "wrong" or opposite way of the clockwise threading that hold things together. Only thing I can think of is forcing the opposite direction threads into the wood should help hold the screw from backing out as a result of flexing of the wood, kind of like those pesky ring shank nails that sometimes hold too good and you can't get them out, if you need to, without tearing things up. Good luck and be safe. Yes the weather here in the Madison area has been goofy this year hasn't it. Jim Martin
Merry Christmas to Don, Matt, and their entire families. An upload of great content from the best woodworker turned home renovation master makes for an unexpected Christmas gift for us all!! Donovan deserves a few extra gifts for all his hard work.
Good Morning I hope you all had a magical Christmas morning making memories for a lifetime. I’m commenting not just to commemorate the holiday but because I saw a fabulous idea for wood trimming using live edge boards earlier . I watch the channel nomadic movement, they are in MA for the time of this video staying in different types of off grid living . Todays vlog shows this beautiful treatment for a doorframe using live edge boards. 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄☮️💟✝️🎄🎄🎄🎄
I absolutely love how you guys are using the track saw for everything!! I really need to get one! I am visually impaired and following a line with a circular saw is tough for me. This would be a game changer!
Your making progress and that's always a good thing. It's good that you and your wife decided to do some additions onto your new home and it's even better that you did because you found some really nasty areas of water damage that needed some attention before they got worse. It's also interesting, and a little disappointing for you two, that the original builders didn't think about those two issues when they designed the home or whenever the previous owners did some renovations that caused the faulty water management spots. The new addition to the front looks like it will be a very welcome change to the kitchen layout and thank you for sharing the work as it progresses. Happy New Year!
A pneumatic/hydraulic reverse scissor demo tool would be pretty handy for plywood removal. I am having flashbacks of peeling up a subfloor a few years ago and a very sore back after watching this video.
Definitely put radiant floor heat on this addition. You have no basement over this five-foot section, and this is the kitchen. It's so obvious that I would be surprised that the architect would not have thought of this.
Merry Christmas to you Matt, your family and Donavon. and his family. It's unbelievable that who ever built that house never thought to install rain gutters to avoid the water damage that not having them caused. An easily avoided very expensive possibly dangerous mistake. That inset area is generally built in so there's some protection from cross winds and rain intrusion when entering the house. Up in northern Michigan you'll see that door where it is with the wall they're building having another door to create a weather airlock to keep cold air from intruding into the rest of the house which then creates an area for coat and boot storage on the left and right. Usually they have a sitting area on one side to put on and take off your boots comfortably. The house I grew up in had that. It was called a vestibule for some reason.
A Verry Merry Christmas to you and the family!! Thank you for the many vids that not only inform but entertain. Thanks for allowing us to come along on the journey!! Festool makes a sword saw for beams
Are there no building codes there ? Here in New Zealand that valley dumping water on the deck wouldn't have passed the council inspection. I'm actually appalled at the construction of the deck as well. Once again here it'd be in H4 or H5 treated timber. As for that siding, weather boards here, what is it ? I looks pretty cheap to me. It's looking good the extension though. Having done a few j know it's not easy or quick. Seasons greetings to you all.
Lots of latent flashing defects in the original roof kick-out flashing (back deck) and now at the horizontal wainscot trim in front? The original waterproofing details are wanting. Remediation needed!
Matt, do you even feed Donavan? or at least offer him a pint now and again? it'd be great to see some footage of your breaks too (even a few minutes) just to prove you're not starving him !!! 🍕🍟🍗🥩🍦🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷 😀
Hi Matt from NewZealand, OMG the US building Standards? No wonder buildings/homes explode in US hurricanes , or is Donovan a hurricane in disguise? Do you watch Scott Brown Carpentry from New Zealand. The different construction requirements in NZ, so very different. Great series
Great Tear Down and Rebuild..Great Minds at Work...and nice Weather,,,Well its Christmas Day Guys..Love Watching You and Don..lot of roofs coming to a point there.nice thing nothing really rotted out..you can feather it out,,haa...Marry Christmas Early Guys....Ron from Wv is Watching..Wow Nov 9th that is Early..haa
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family. Matt, no one can ever say that you guys don't do this job right. It's amazing to see how well everything is being done and the care being used to make it right.
Just curious… Why does Donovan seem to prefer installing studs in place versus framing a portion/the whole wall on the ground and then tilting it up? Is it a precision thing or easier to frame when adding on to an existing structure? I noticed it at those big windows on the other side of the house too. Anyway, I really enjoy watching this and your furniture builds. As an architect, I find the insights into a builder/contractor’s process enlightening. Thanks!
Matt, I was wondering what you were thinking about doing around the new door location (on the side), are you going to create an overhang or some kind of bump out to make it look different, sheltered etc.?
@@mcremona I am so sorry....I wanted to say Merry Christmas to you and your family. I hope you have a beautiful, peaceful and thankful Christmas. enjoy your family today.
Thank you for the videos. Highly informative. One question: Why no gutters on the house? I fully admit I have no idea what I'm talking about, but with the water damage you have discovered, I was wondering why there are no gutters to channel the water away from the house? Thank you
There are some gutters, but those valleys like at the front of the house would just be a bit difficult to catch in a gutter. Any moderate amount of rain is just going to come flying down it.
Why install tji parallel with house instead of perpendicular to house? Too much deflection on floor. Floor has less bounce if you had frame flooring system the other way.
Merry Christmas. (If you celebrate.) Question about the prefab I beams. Appears in the video you just dropped them into the hangers then screwed and glued the subfloor down. Are they fastened in some way to the hangers or the rim?
How are you going to get the window out now that you have framed the new wall in front of it? Will be interesting to see in your next video. Merry Christmas Matt, Lindsay and family!
Merry Christmas to you all. Just curious as to why the window didn't come out before you framed in front of it. If it was installed before the siding it will have a nail flange around it. Loving the series.
Amazing how short sighted we are here in U.S., "design" has priority over water management. Number one cause of damage to any structure isn't even considered, its why our building don't last. The larger the overhang and installing gutters the longer the building lasts statitically. No one likes the looks of the scupper they didn't install to catch your roof water. Merry Christmas!
I built a small shed in the back and have been considering incorporating gutters inside the lower edge of the roof. With perforated metal for the water, the gutters would be invisible. I'm mulling the details for such a small job. There are a bunch of companies making leaf guards that might be suitable.
we bought the flat and after remodel, previous owner said, you bought it, so you can make it ugly. well i wonder, if thats feeling that all previous owners have. also one who sold this. anyway, this videos are too slow, I need more!
Home buyers love intricate roof designs with numerous valleys, etc but simple is more practical.
Don needs to be a reoccurring character with the channel even past this project.
Really enjoying this series. Thanks to Donovan for being a good sport. He seems to be really knowledgeable. Good luck and Merry Christmas. 🎁

Donavan's knowledge & experience impress me more with every one of these videos.
And his personality helps too. He has a great sense of humor.
Merry Christmas to Don, Matt, and their entire families. An upload of great content from the best woodworker turned home renovation master makes for an unexpected Christmas gift for us all!! Donovan deserves a few extra gifts for all his hard work.
A Festool or Mafell sword saw would have come in handy cutting that big post.
Donovan rolling around on the scaffold was hilarious got a real guffaw.
Matt: "We have more rotten trim boards."
Donavan: *"Bondo!!"*
😆
Alles gute zum Haus 🏠🏠🏡🏡 und viele Grüße aus Düsseldorf Germany...
I like that tool for deck board removal never seen that before ✌️👍
Merry Christmas to all of us!
Great video Matt. Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait for the next one. God Bless.
This is such an exciting extension. Having extended a couple of house I am well aware of the time it takes.
i would like to see the new improved rainwater drainage to prevent further deterioration of exterior wall. very poor downspout planning?
Here's to a Happy New Year with lots of good health to you and the family.
Good Morning I hope you all had a magical Christmas morning making memories for a lifetime.

If only Matt had a giant beam/circular saw in the garage behind him to help with that cut🤣
A pneumatic/hydraulic reverse scissor demo tool would be pretty handy for plywood removal. I am having flashbacks of peeling up a subfloor a few years ago and a very sore back after watching this video.
Definitely put radiant floor heat on this addition. You have no basement over this five-foot section, and this is the kitchen. It's so obvious that I would be surprised that the architect would not have thought of this.
There will be. We’ll extend the current floor’s loops
And the award for Don's toy of the week goes to his palm nailer 🙂
One more step done, Can hardly wait until it's complete congratulations guys
Thank you!
Matthew and Donovan it’s nice to see high quality work!
Merry Christmas to you Matt, your family and Donavon. and his family.

The house I grew up in had that.
It was called a vestibule for some reason.
Vestibule is the old name for entry rooms. Literally I think it means the place to dress or undress for going in and out. I hope I'm right

Well, looks like it chugging along, nice job. Keep up the progress.
Matt & Don make a good team.
Thank you for sharing your expertise..
Thank you for sharing your journey with your new addition of your house. Merry Christmas and happy new year. God bless you and your family.
Invest in rain gutters and save the foundation while you still can 😓🤯
Thank you for this nice Christmas surprise video! Enjoying seeing both of you working on this project.
Wait... Are those actual Robertson screws on the deck @6:40 !?!?
Happy Christmas Matt + Lindsay!

Great work Matt and Don, thanks
like the style!
Merry Christmas to all!
Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Looking good guys. Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to Lindsay, Matt, your kiddos & Donovan! Wishing you all a happy, healthy and prosperous 2022.
I thought we weren’t gonna see anymore of this project until spring. I forgot about the front of the house.
Looking good Cremona!
Another great video Matt .
Merry Christmas ⛄🎄.
Merry Christmas everyone!
Why did you celebrate Christmas with pumpkins? 😂 Merry Christmas to you and your family. 🎄🎁🥧
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family. Matt, no one can ever say that you guys don't do this job right. It's amazing to see how well everything is being done and the care being used to make it right.
Does Donovan charge extra because your helping?
I HEARD YOUR CONTRACTOR AFTER THIS JOB WILL BE ODERING A CUSTOM LEXUS ONLINE WHILE HE'S ON VACATION IN THE CARABEAN.
13:46 the barn door is open
Donovan's a destructive devil, ain't he?
Wait until you see him turned loose inside the house
Just curious… Why does Donovan seem to prefer installing studs in place versus framing a portion/the whole wall on the ground and then tilting it up? Is it a precision thing or easier to frame when adding on to an existing structure? I noticed it at those big windows on the other side of the house too.

Yes, an awning type thing similar to what we removed

Thanks Dwight! Have a wonderful Christmas!
November 9th??? lol, Merry Christmas!!

If that’s the front of the house I wonder what the back looks like.
enjoyed watching. What was wrong with the original set up ?
Thank you for the videos. Highly informative. One question: Why no gutters on the house? I fully admit I have no idea what I'm talking about, but with the water damage you have discovered, I was wondering why there are no gutters to channel the water away from the house? Thank you
There are some gutters, but those valleys like at the front of the house would just be a bit difficult to catch in a gutter. Any moderate amount of rain is just going to come flying down it.
They need a high volume gutter with a backsplash at the valley.
Why install tji parallel with house instead of perpendicular to house?
Too much deflection on floor.
Floor has less bounce if you had frame flooring system the other way.
Given the apparent lousy condition of the deck joists, why not remove them and redo the deck. It looks like you are doing almost that now.
Merry Christmas. (If you celebrate.)
Question about the prefab I beams. Appears in the video you just dropped them into the hangers then screwed and glued the subfloor down. Are they fastened in some way to the hangers or the rim?
The hangers have barbs that grab them. Thanks! 🎄
@@mcremona thanks. That was a fast answer!
Nice work
How are you going to get the window out now that you have framed the new wall in front of it? Will be interesting to see in your next video. Merry Christmas Matt, Lindsay and family!
Unscrew the last stud and pop the window out. Have a wonderful Christmas!
It's plum crooked. haha
PS Merry Christmas...

Is there a SuperCuts close to you?
Merry Christmas to you all. Just curious as to why the window didn't come out before you framed in front of it. If it was installed before the siding it will have a nail flange around it. Loving the series.
Hey, are you guys going to seal off the underside? Or at least spray foam at the gap where the new rim joists are sistered to the old ones?
It will be spray foamed
I just wanted to know how you got Richard Gere to help you with this project.

Is it Wed.? LOL

❤
Why are the floor joists on the extension running parallel to the foundation instead of having a bunch sort ones?
Easier access for plumbing and mechanicals
Why are you using screws instead nails?
