good morning today we're going to put the rest of the trusses on the garage
so they got the grade all lined up in front I'm going to get the Digger D all
set up and crane extended we grab the right trusses we need and start getting
the first one on get it squared up leveled and everything start Bo lay them on let's do
[Music]
it
[Music] [Applause]
[Music]
[Applause] [Music]
all right last truss of the entire house they dragging it over right now
this is the end piece for the garage it's been a smooth operation so far
so if you guys have seen ties the Rope on the end and that way we can keep it aligned as we
come in cuz otherwise it just spins and I just slowly bring it over to level lift it
up to the height I either have to raise and lower extend and contract to get it
centered and then they just tack it in on the corner and we Square it up all right let's go
up
[Music]
so they hammering a couple Nails on the corners of each uh trust to the the uh plate on the top
and actually he about done no he's not done up there they're going to run across here
and those Hammer Nails across the whole thing looks like that corner is a little low on that
side so we'll figure what's going on there but overall this has been a very smooth day
wind has been perfect machines have been running great and we skipped lunch we're
all very hungry so we need to get this done so we can go food food food and belly all
right all right there we go trusses are on I'm heading back to get some food they just
finish e already they're quick they're already back at it okay good good that's good now'll
put some sheets on it make it the roof and then they put some tyac around and
get her somewhat watertight for the next rain event that might come in a week we'll [Music]
see check it out and that's sweet so I think tomorrow they're going to start working on
overring the top of this garage to the roof line of the house and then there'll be a staircase
right here they're going to make a spot here for the trans transition up into that room and
then I'll have access to the attic from that side too and then while they were doing all that I was
kind of helpless at the moment useless use not very useful and I uh had a request from the wife
said hey can we take some of scraps and make a dogghouse sure um look at that Maverick made
you home floor Joys it's got floor joys for the roof and a bunch of scrap op I know you're all
impressed we'll put a carpet in there maybe throw a little paint on it it'll last a year maybe two
till we get you know fully established here but but now it's a happy doggy I'm sure you guys want
to stay in there 100 bucks a night 50 50 we'll do 50 how about that okay quick stop at the house
take a look and see what they've done all right so the whole garage well not quite Corner over here
hasn't been sheet yet they got all the front half sheet tricky part for them was trying to
mate the house to the garage because I we decided to put a 15° angle in the garage sticking out and
it made for some interesting geometry right here but it looks like they've got it figured out so
they're going to finish sheating that I'm sure here soon heading up on the roof so this is the
part that they had to build and frame to attach to the the house and it's interesting the garage
sticks up about a foot above the roof line of the house maybe a little more than that and I
I think it originally wasn't supposed to be that way it was supposed to be either flush with the
house or a little lower but we widen the garage 2 feet well I guess he could have picked a lower
of a pitch but still it ended up making the roof line a little taller and then we put a bonus room
over the garage to it I think that did that too so otherwise not the end of the world but it's
a little bump there that's okay all right just wanted to stop by real quick see what the progress
was I got to get back to farming so when I get done with that I'll be back back here helping
these guys out and starting probably running black pipe into the house the mechanical room down here
for my utilities for gas so yeah we'll get to that soon cool oh by the way first freeze of the year
it was 29° this morning can't even see my breath yet it's not that cold well one of the unfortunate
byproducts of building a house or anything is scrap now I'm the cleanup guy I'm just letting
them do their thing I'll take care of cleaning up that's good enough job for me so I'm making a
big pile and this is going to get recycled in my fireplace so it's not going to go to waste it'll
be turning into BTUs though I'm sure there's probably something to be said about burning
OSB chemicals glues I don't know so we'll cross that road when we get there but all the other
stuff definitely can go in the fireplace so I'll sort it later let's get it in a big pile throw it
in [Music]
so the guys are putting the feltex on the roof it's just basically a really heavy duty tarp in
roll form it's very expensive but it's really good at protecting the roof for moisture so
they're putting that on go across the whole roof then eventually I think we're going to tyve it the
outside wrap the house and then get the siding and roofing ordered so that when that shows up
they can just put it right on but for now because there's weather coming and two days or talking a
little bit of rain usually say a bunch and then it turns up being this much but maybe it'll be this
much that's what they're saying it'll be this much anyways we could use some whenever we needs it but
um it'd be really good to have this thing pretty much watertight so when the rain comes the whole
inside stays dry the OSB has been soaked a couple times shouldn't say soaked but it's it's had some
water on it flooring and everything and it just it doesn't need anymore so get this riffing on this
feltex and stay dry all right well today we're getting the Gable on that's the last part of
the roof that's got to be done so they can finish putting the the feltex on and then they get ready
to order order metal so this part right here big arch front of the house had to put a 40ft beam
on to hold all that it'll be post sticking it up you'll see when it comes together but right
now we got the gr all on the beam and we're trying to put the first post in on the corner
here to hold that then we'll slowly put a couple more along so stay tuned going to look [Music]
sweet [Music]
so we're down in Nick's basement and we're looking at mounting the boiler and his tankless
water heater inside his utility room and we sat around this morning trying to figure out
what exactly do we want to do or what does he want to do cuz this is his house I'm just here
to point fingers and laugh cuz I've been there done that and actually am not laughing cuz I I
know what it felt like lot of decisions too many decisions so anyways I think what he wants to do
and he'll probably correct me on this but we'll probably put his radiant floor heat on this side
and then his tankless water heater and his poble water on that side now graned things can change
we could put it up on the wall and then we could realize like oh we don't really want
that set up there but it's better to visually see it so we're going to take his boiler same
one that I've got mount on the wall and then take his tankless heater mount it on the wall
and then we'll start figuring out how we want to lay out some of the plumbing and that kind
of stuff it's more of just getting an idea of what we need to do so we can get fittings and
stuff ordered we're not going to Plum anything today but like I said just trying to get an idea
so Nick is hooking the boiler from the crate so we can get it mounted and then uh yeah I think
should be good should be really good I don't know why they don't put the mounting brag over
just a little bit oh why why why do that that one there is actually it removes off the back
of the tankless oh you actually Mount that on the wall so technically slide I bet you slide it this
way did you take this other side off okay here yeah there you go oh it slides off so then we
can pull the the that's ni unit off here we just set it right that's ridiculous why would they do
that uh so if I remember correctly I think the top of mine I set at 6 ft
exactly cuz then you're about eye level when you're working on it so if you mount it like
this when you open the door then you have an easy easier access to fix stuff in there Mak put it 2T
right all right that's not coming [Music]
[Music] off
[Music]
downstairs here the floor Joys they're 12in floor Joys and uh they're engineered for this span but
it must just be pushing it just a little bit cuz you can feel a bounce when you're
upstairs if you jump on the floor it it shakes a little bit I'm sure it's strong enough but that
bounce is kind of annoying so I'm taking a lot of the scrap pieces I ripped them all of 12 in
these are all 8 Footers and I'm just going to go through with the glue and the nailer
and do what I'm doing here and plate one side of every floor joist and that should stiffen it up
and that way it won't be any more bounced got one chance to do this might as well do it it's going
to take some nails and glue and some scrap but it'll be worth it so let's get to doing [Music]
[Music]
it good morning beautiful sunrise except for I wasn't here early enough to catch it
for you guys so but it's still beautiful very calm great day to put Windows in so hopefully
if everything goes to plan we'll get some tyvec around a lot of this house and start
putting these mini windows in oh we got a lot of Windows what were we thinking it's going to
be good it's going to be good but I got to get these windows here that's the problem they're
over at the farmyard over there and we don't really have a good enclosed trailer to carry
them so my thought what was well let's take the sled bed trailer which is a little two- Place
trailer and I'm going to build a little wall on it and a place to strap some windows too
cuz we've got a couple monstrous Windows like I go in the sun room and to get them over here in
one piece without breaking them yeah It's Tricky so let's work something up and then let's get it
set up and then when the time comes we can start load Windows and bringing them over when they're
ready it's all part of the plan and I'll need you and a bunch of you and this trailer let's
go that out of work okay we'll stack them all up against here and throw some stra
for the top bring a mile over get this process going before the wind picks up
all right well we got most of the windows over stacked them all around just kind of
where they kind of need to go but decided it's going to blow tomorrow hard so we're going to
do the first windows on the sun room which are the big ones they're ridiculously big look at
these [Music] things so they're bringing the grade all around we'll get on the forks we'll
walk it up and if all goes to plan we'll just carefully lift it up and put it in
there then tape around it screw it in or screw it in and then tape around it so let's get to
[Music]
it
[Music]
[Applause] [Music] there we go look at that window another window and a whole bunch of Windows that
one's on order that was an addition that was later before we had ordered all the windows
so that's coming in a couple weeks backside here not a lot we got the big ones in master
great room the big sliding glass door the whole sun room is done they're talking 40
45 mph winds tomorrow so when that hits we're going to have a little bit more protection but
the goal was to get the windy side done first which is what we did if we run over
here window and another window window window window another around the garage and window
we got a couple doors to put in but overall it was a successful day there was some more
tiac going on but we're pretty happy with how today got the roof measured so we got
Roofing going to be on order tomorrow so anyways it's good to see we're getting
there pretty soon we will be tight so we'll be able to hopefully get that radiant floor going
get the place warmed up for winter cuz it's probably going to come early is here there
snow predicted for next week all right cool thanks for watching Love be more don't [Music]
[Music]
worry
