    I started watching you all way back when you were still in your urban homestead and you were living a very (in my opinion) realistic lifestyle.
    Once you guys moved to this property and said you wanted to build a home from scratch, I’ll admit I thought it was a little crazy, but it’s amazing to see how far you’ve come.
    You had a vision and stuck with it! I am so excited and wish you all the best in your future endeavors, even if they are too crazy for me to ever consider trying:)

    Brutal one man job, well done. This is a no BS Chanel on all fronts, no fluff, straight up hard work, intelligent research/planning and logistics. All with a touch of family, friends and emotions, authentic to the core in a world that is struggling with all the above. Thanks for taking the time to post up your journey.

    Nice to see I'm not the only one who has clipped the cord! That's one way to make an easy day much longer and frustrating.
    The house is getting there!!!

    I've said this before and I'll say it again, I HOPE YOUNG MEN ARE WATCHING YOU AND SEEING HOW YOU ALWAYS STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND DO WHAT A REAL MAN SHOULD DO. HATS OFF TO WHOMEVER TAUGHT YOU HOW TO DO ALL THAT YOU DO. JAIME & THE GIRLS ARE BLESSED. YOU ARE BLESSED TOO, BECAUSE ALL THE GOOD THAT YOU DO COMES BACK TO YOU 10 FOLD! I can see what attracted you and Jaime to each other. You both are simply amazing! I am so very inspired by everything you do! Be Safe! 😊❤🙏

    FYI the best thing you can do when you cut a saw cord is replace it a 20' extension cord, easier to work on a job with a longer cord on the saw than moving a extension cord around with you. Great job, house is looking good.

    You're amazing for a man with little previous experience as a carpenter! I remember your early days of repairing the goat shed 'till now. I watch this just to learn how to jig it, rig it and do most things single handedly!

  • @lrussell5496

    I have watched you since you lived in the house with beautiful granite counters. I was looking for gluten free bread recipes and came across your wife’s video. I am in awe of all the changes you two have made. How you know to build, fix, imagine and complete projects is incredible! Can’t wait to see your beautiful home done. Best wishes to you and your family. 😁🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

    You can use C-clamps to make handles to handle that OSB with... Especially "handy" for lifting it to the second floor. Also makes a place to tie a rope to, and use pulleys.

    Found your channel around thanksgiving, now addicted! Fun fact, I widened the top 5 stairs to 6 in , just sister on 1/2” ply. Now you won’t fall as you get older, I am 80.

  • @douglasthompson2740
    @douglasthompson2740 4 года назад +4

    For me even though the manufacturer doesn't recommend it I would have doubled the joists and headers (you could still do it) as that stairs are a stress spot with a lot of leverage as well as possible heavy loads. Once the finished ceiling is up it will be hard to do while it is dead simple now. Dragging sheet goods around is made much easier with a panel handle. I made my own out of a piece of 1 x 1 steel angle with a handle sufficient to get it to hand height when you are standing made out of whatever. I used a piece of 1/2" conduit bent in an 'L' and welded to the angle. Now you slip it under and you have a comfortable carry. Get to your saw horses hold it vertical switch the handle to the top so you can lower it down without breaking sheetrock and such. They also sell these for not much money. Saves your back for sure. Take care.

    Cut cord on saw many times. When cord gets to short buy a extension cord cut off Female end and install. Works very well.
    Saved me lots of money on construction jobs when the Safety person red tags your saw. Usually kept a cord in my truck for those times.

    Hey good afternoon, Great process of getting that sheet of goods up where you needed it. Fairly safe as well. Good job. I was not able to figure out the 2x4 and bucket until you started the process of putting the sheet in the attic. Good job. You are most likely used to working by yourself.

    I'm glad the joist spacing had you move the attic stairs over by one bay...happy accident, because I think you would have regretted having your pull down stairs that close to that room's doorway. Nice work, and good use of your scrap OSB.

    You might want to double check your span chart for the max span for the ceiling joists you now made into floor joist. My guess is they are not going to support the loads you will be adding to them as you use your NEW STORAGE AREA.
