Hi - I'm here to share my life with anyone looking for some uplift through inspiring stories, including interviews and discussions about NDE's (near death experiences) which I find fascinating and uplifting, as well as enjoying nature and the outdoors by way of hiking, skiing, swimming, camping and photography. If you're looking for a balanced approach to life which includes creating a healthy outlook from the spiritual to the mental and physical, I'll share my journey with you - welcome. P.s. my latest material includes documenting a fun project- a lifelong dream of building an A-frame up in Vermont. Take the journey with me from raw land to a finished house (just getting to the actual build now...) and learn what I can teach by doing brilliantly or by making mistakes- lol. Hopefully not too much of the latter.
The A-frame build- setting the ridge!
a quick look at our rope and pulley rig - getting the ridge beams into place - from up on the staging.

My brother Al and I are raising this frame with ancient technology- 2 old guys and a block and tackle- 4 pulleys and a piece of rope! we did set up staging but no machines. a bit of work and yes we are tired, but a very satisfying week!
The A-frame build- a little chat about deck flooring.

in this video we frame the deck and discuss the process- my son Austin and son-in-law Rob jumped in and helped on this one. I ran up this morning to do a quick video before we cover it up with flooring.

here we receive the delivery of the next round of materials so we can build the floor system and frame the south deck. Driver was on the way early in the morning - called when I was having my coffee - just got up after getting home very late after seeing John Fogerty at Tanglewood.

Today we see them pour the cellar floor! now we can order materials for the actual building, which we will start next week. Hopefully the heat will die down a bit by then - luckily there are 2 lakes within 15 minutes and a pool at our house 5 minutes away!

The A-frame build- quick update..

a quick followup as the backfilling is done and most of the prep for the cellar floor slab.
the A-frame build- foundation drainage install
zhlédnutí 158Před měsícem
Today's project- installation of foundation drainage system- perforated pipe, stone, landscape fabric, backfilling follows after...
Foundation foam done and cement board being applied prior to backfilling.
zhlédnutí 234Před měsícem
3 inches of insulating foam has been glued to the foundation from the footings to the top. Now cement board is being applied to protect the upper areas and allow for parging or stone to be added later. Going for thermal efficiency here - keeping the winter cold out mostly.
The A-frame build continues - adding Styrofoam insulation to the foundation for thermal efficiency.

Nice!
Wow you all are amazing. I would get dizzy and land on my backside! Great work.
I love a building project. Looking forward to following your progress.
Wow, gorgeous view! I sure hope both you and Marilyn feel better soon. Have a safe drive home and take care.
Hope you and Marilyn feel better soon! 💞💞
Wowzer, amazing. Love seeing how it fits together.
That looks amazing 😃 my vacation home is coming along nicely! Don't work too hard!!
hot damn! look at that!!
Deck is looking superb. Thanks for sharing
Hi- I just watched my video here to make sure it was watchable and caught myself in one mistake- I was saying pull 15 3/4 for layout- I ditzed- that's supposed to be 15 1/4 to 16 3/4 which defines the edges of the next joist. Usually we go with 16 inches after that by hooking the tape on the nail or second joist in and making an X on the far side of each mark to indicate that go are going beyond the mark with the joist or rafter.
Looking good. Thanks for the tape-16" center tip
Thanks, Duncan! Looks great! I always wanted to build a deck, but the layout of my house and yard just doesn't lend itself to that.
work'n on the 4th :) . . . why does that deck look like it's lean'n back into the frame? i listened and heard you say you lowered it for the threshold. . . but surely you kept it level or tilted away? i'm positive it was the camera angle and my messed up eyes and i tried to listen again but didn't hear anything . . .and my ocd wouldn't let me carry on without asking :) nice job though hope'n to do some of that super soon myself :)
Happy 4th, Duncan. OMG it's coming along nicely 😊
Happy 4th of July Duncan. Love this update, it's very informative and intriguing to see how the deck all holds together. Love the tip "The only mistakes you make are the ones you don't fix"
Austin was joking about recording in the cellar as the acoustics are ridiculous- it's a echo chamber!
Dont need to be doubled to carry deck load ! The freaking concrete wall does the carrying! Wow
Coming right along, Duncan 👍🏻
Wowzer, impressive progress, looking grrreat. Thanks for keeping us updated. I'm enjoying watching the progress from a hole in the ground to becoming an actual house
once you deck it have the boys play a concert on it
Coming along great!!
Amazing!!!
Well done Duncan. I’m excited for you. It’s an amazing accomplishment.
It's really coming along!!!! 😁
It's cool watching the foundation tighten up. I can almost hear the hammers that'll be coming in the near future
Great work Duncan, it's growing :)
It looks good, but if you would have used Icf, you wouldn't have had the glue on foam board.
Thanks Duncan, I iddn't think I was interested in construction but this build has caught my attention and I'm immensely enjoying watching the progress
looking great!!
looks tight
Thanks Duncan - I'm enjoying these updates. It's intriguing watching the progress.
wow! looking good!!
Progress is being made, looking great Duncan👍💪🫶👌
Thanks Duncan for sharing these updates. It's amazing how quickly it's progressing in a mere 4/5 days. Looking forward to next update
I can't believe how quickly it's all coming together 😃👏
Wow, that’s some major progress in a few days. Who needs Bob Vila when we have Duncan Honig with This New House.
Thanks- glad it helped you.
Got lucky- no boulders or ledge....so far so good!
OMG you're getting it done!!!
Oooo awesome!
Site looks great. It should plain sailing beyond this.
This is beautiful man, love it all, I got this recommended after I watched “AMERICAN HISTORY X” and the quote at the end, “Hate is baggage, Life’s too short to be pissed off all the time” I love this and will be showing this to others, thank you for inspiring me😊
Great location👌
Wow. That’s a huge project!!
Oooo wauw Duncan💪👌 That's looking great🥰
Nice!
Looking like a plan for a great home!
Awesome Duncan ❤
