Good morning everyone!!! Hope you have a fantastic day. 😃
Was going to suggest buying an electric mini snow blower for your deck and stairs
Remember water freezes at 32 degrees, especially in the attic where there is not much, if any heat, that includes drains too. I knew of an office that had water pipes in the attic. One winter when it got awful cold, and power went out, those water pipe froze and busted, this was during Christmas holidays and no one in the office. Some one noticed water running out there door, and called it in. Have you ever seen a big, really big water bubbles behind wall paper? about 3" of water on the floors, all furniture had water stains 3" up on it, Luckily the in insurance paid for the damage.
PRO TIP: Make an access behind the shower with a simple door or removable panel so you can get to the drain and the shower valve. Easy now, very hard in a few years when you might need to access it. Happy New Year to ya'all!!! Cheers from Texas!
Please do, or 37 years later, you will wished you had, been there, now repair it often because it's too hard to replace valve.
Your extension tree saw will take down the snow curl on the edge of the roof above the stairs
Just remember when you trim inside the box or trim a window or door with the rotozip sheetrock tool you are going clockwise. When you are cutting out for an outlet box you run the tool counterclockwise because your on the outside of what your trimming. It has to do with the direction the bit spins and how it wants to pull away from or towards what your trimming because of the rotation of the bit.
Right on. Great explanation.
I asked about the floor insulation the other day. Definitely need to insulate that floor asap. It will help immensely. Your furnace will not have to work as long or as hard.
Obviously you know Tux is my favorite part of the push-ups...but if you watch him this time, he is watching Sara the whole time and sees her struggling a little...his head bobs up and down just slightly in rhythm with her, like he's coaching her on..and then he goes and touches her head to tell her to push harder...he's so cute...we love him
😂 so true!
Thumbs up on catching what caused the leak ..I'm impressed !
Should you put both hoses in to the trap ? Insulation will also it will cut down on the singing noise in the shower 🚿.
The drain you swapped is correct, but the unused one for verticle position can't be left hanging. That is allowing flue gasses back in the burner compartment. It should be capped / plugged.
YESSSSS!!! This is VERY IMPORTANT!!!
@Martin Johnson - Off Grid Living *_ TAKE NOTE!! _*
OK I'll plug it ASAP
PHEW!!! nothing more scary than water dripping from the ceiling. Glad it was an easy fix and not the roof. Best wishes Johnson family
😁 Seth driving the V8 made me smile.
Failure to clean the snow off your vehicle is against the law in most states. The reason being is the snow blowing off your vehicle hitting the windshield of the vehicle behind you good cause blindness of the vehicle behind or even worse breaking their windshield closing in a serious accident. Set a good example for your children learning to drive. I hope you had a Merry Christmas and you all have a happy and prosperous new year.
You're doing a good job on the drywall.
Seth: Sarah pushups! Sarah: What you talking about Willis?
You already said it, yes with that size deck you need a battery or a elec snow blower for up on that deck...
The furnace has to be drained directly to a drain. There will be lots of water when using the furnace. Water is a byproduct of propane burning.
You might have drain issue in the future having the furnace installed in a none conditioned space the drain line can freeze
Imagine a drain trap, under the floor freezing, then you take a shower, now the drain is frozen, where does the water go, in the floor, eventually. Seen it happen before.
No sniffing glue! You almost made Mike choke on his dinner laughing. Lol.
Watch it using those drywall carriers!! I had a sheet of 3/4 Plywood and lifting up with one of those and it bent and dropped it on my foot and broke it.
With the weather getting colder and you wanting to move into the apartment, I think the insulating the floor might have to move up in priority a little. It should help with the heating I would think. But 27 pushups...good job everyone. Thanks for sharing.
husband, wife or kids, you never wanna hear "smell this"
And heaven help you when grandpa says it
😂
You will need a drain plug for the shower before you make the shower pan. You don't want paste or grout getting in the drain.
My neighbor has one of those EGO battery powered snowblowers and it's amazing how well it works. We had 4" of heavy wet snow yesterday and his machine ate through it like PAC-MAN through an arcade game. It would work great to clear the snow from your deck.
You guys are just amazing; doing all those pushups!! Thank you so much for sharing your lives with us every day this month. I have thoughly enjoyed watching.
I have the same furnace you are correct. This is one reason why a furnace in a lower level for both condensing or AC draining is best. But your’s will work just fine. Also my oldest son is a commercial refrigeration contractor, I was wondering what your background was
Spray foam in big holes in Dry wall ,after it's dry cut off excess put mesh tape over and mud.
Love seeing you use the trick with the drywall square. Heard your struggle with it moving. Hubby said put foot on bottom to hold it and hand at top, then run the knife. He also says try cutting from face side, not paper side. One final tip, the board you put up with marker or something written on it may bleed through your paint. May need to check that out. Keep smiling! You guys are awesome!
My wife and I so much enjoy the building that the 4 of you are doing. We're hoping that January brings three or four videos per week. We are in south Texas and today we will be around 80.
You guys are doing good job so keep up the good work while your having fun 🤙
Martin, I believe you are counting "let downs" and not "push ups" as you seem to count each time you are nearer the floor rather than after you have completed a "push up". I do enjoy all the construction you are all doing.
I’d be putting a roof over that deck. That part of shoveling the deck EVERY TIME it snows would get old
Way to go Johnson family I luv that Sarah and Seth are so honest and integrators making sure to do all the sit ups even after mom and dad are finished.....way to go fmily wow 27👏👏👏💪💕🙏🏻
After it is dried out where the Sheetrock became damp please seal the patch with a suitable sealer paint, before you try to paint that area, or you may have stains coming through the paint in future. It is an easy fix at this stage.
I had to reroute our condensate pipe as the water ran out slowly and pooled. It froze up in cold weather and shut down the boiler.
Marty and Julie. My brother who has an HVAC company says to tell you he puts a drip pan that is as large or larger than furnace. Also in attic installs he puts a pan safety switch so if water gets in the safety pan, the unit shuts down. We both enjoy your videos a lot lot lot! Beautiful family. Barbara mccraw and Michael blagg
A "small" electric snowblower might work for that deck!!!!!
I saw a bare copper pipe in that space behind the tub. I would highly recommend that pipe be wrapped. If you are getting air in from the garage it could potentially freeze.
Good morning!☀️🌞
Good morning! ☀️
You will find Sarah & Steff that if you Breath IN going down & OUT coming up you will be able to do more, check it on youre search engine. another great video managed to catch Live last night left few comments. Thanks for being so accesable, Love from UK x x
Condensing furnaces cannot be set at the low temperatures you’ve been setting it. When our Lennox furnace was installed horizontally in our crawlspace earlier this year, the technicians told us that you should not set it bellow 59 degrees otherwise the furnace doesn’t run long enough and build up enough heat to properly eliminate the condensed water. Check with your HVAC vendor.
I did my 27 push-ups. when Sara does hers it’s easier if she does them with her feet closer together .
Thanks for the tip!
That top hose doesn't go like that. You just need to cap that one off. That drain is for when the furnace is standing up right.
With all the gaps between the sheetrock your going to have a unbelievable amount of cracking when the house starts to settle.
Rotor zip is made to go in one direction. The bit pulls in towards th outlet box for a clean cut.
Yeah, your experience in refrigeration helped you there. I was impressed. I am lost in those areas.
Looking good, guys.
That furnace condensate is highly acidic bordering on being suffuric acid you need to neutralize that Pan before rush out.

The apartment is looking awesome 🤩 good catch on the furnace. Always enjoy your videos 👍
its hard to cut because again your cutting the back your suppose to cut the front plus it makes for a smoother cut and less likely to bust a chunk of sheetrock out of it.
Living in Florida I don’t have this issue but wondering if you have to periodically remove the snow from the roof?
you guys should be sealing all penetrations from the garage that goes through the floors into your living area. To keep fire, Carbon monoxide, and smells from getting into your apartment. The sealing should be done using a special fire-resistant calk. Want to keep you folks safe.
YES!! The key words and tricky phrases here is "special fire resistant caulk!" Get some and use it liberally!!!! This is a HUGE safety issue. Plus the exhaust smell of cars in the garage below is really bad.
Salut. Had "pro" plumber installed H 'n C ... in reverse. 🤣🤣🤣 WTG M Seth. P S backseat driver? Really Marty? 😉😉😉 Nicely done on your projects. > watching all yous growing up. Blessings
Glad you figured out the furnace out before you drywalled! Looks like your doing a great job 👏
Thanks!
Julie, yes-from your question from last night. Virgil and I totally recommend The Chosen. It’s not a Hollywood production. It show’s more Jesus humanity. Virgil and I just finished season one last night. You two need a mini vacation!
Great! Where do you watch it? Mini vacation sounds awesome!
My question....why not plumb them both into the pvc drain? That way, no matter what happens you should be ok. And such a lot of work you are doing!! Wow...I can't imagine trying to do everything myself! Kudos to you all!
Definitely don’t want a furnace in my attic after seeing your videos.
Remember to install ACCESS PANELS in your drywall in the event you need to access the plumbing or drains.
Yes Yes Yes!!!!
I'm sure you have answered this question before but why is their not a window or at least a piece of plywood in the hallway to the garage? It's just an invitation for mice and insects
Get you some liquid electric tape or flexseal and cover the back of the square with it. It'll help prevent it from moving as easily.
Orange dye would be better for coloring the square - might be less expensive to buy a new one though lol
If you put the T-square on the bottom and put the drywall on top it will hold it better and you won’t be moving sideways this is from experience
Good idea!
You need a snowblower up there. Alan
you all need a small snow blower for the deck
If you use your AC while you heat the SUV it won't get foggy.
Before you do the drywall on the house, you might wanna check out Good Simple Living's last video 2/12/22, and see the little peddle thing they use to hold the drywall off the floor. :)
Martin you did say the Furnace is in the roof on advice - maybe somewhere better would be easier on the ceiling - prob bit late to re site - at least you could save all that work should any future mishap, especially after decorating. Happy new year to you all cheers from 🏴
probably this has already been suggested, but you may find that if you cut from the finished side of the drywall there wont be any finished side tears
sorry, I didn't watch far enough into your video
Great family, keep up the good work...
LOL Tux is sitting there & going what the heck they doing!
Good job on troubleshooting brother....Happy New Year
Great job on the pushups today! Well done.
Wondering if you guys considered moving stairs to second level as far away from the side of the house as you can go towards end of deck. That should get them away from the drip edge of the roof and eliminate snow piling up on steps. Good job on sharing progress
I can’t believe how much snow you are getting looks like that insulation will pay for it’s self lol! Looks amazing so much progress!!
You guys are awsome!!
Ising on the roof...a reminder of warmth leaking uppwards
You guys are CRUSHING IT. Thanks for sharing.
Yes your right furnace in attice isn't good cause of condensation.
Insulating the floor will save you a lot of fuel also. You don't realize how much heat you are loosing through that floor. Are you going to insulate the walls in the garage?
LOL ' It wasn't really a Rant' Love you guys!
😂 you’re right. I was just teasing him. 😆
@@juliejohnson9531 I saw it as a RANT I understand you're his wife! Keep teasing ....
I hope you have solved the water problem because water in the insulation always smells of mold :(
The roto zip works better if you just go one direction.
That is exactly the reason I would not allow the HVAC contractor to put my A/C in the attic. It's never a question of if things will go wrong, the question is WHEN they go wrong. They ALWAYS will. (Dave's engineering rule #1.)
I love your videos. You are just so realistic and live a beautiful life.
How was the snowboarding lessons ? It sounds like a lot of fun.
Good going guys. Congratulations and happy to see snow everywhere around your home stay. 🏡
Hello!
Pro move on troubleshooting and fixing that furnace water issue. Two thumbs up, man! Do you shovel the deck to prevent massive snow loads or just you can walk out there? Thanks for sharing.
so good! way to find and fix the problem Marty. Great teamwork too. That snow looks beautiful. Keep up the pushups everyone!
I hope that you are not using a metal tipped snow shovel on your composite decking. Should use plastic tipped shovel to prevent scratching your new deck.
You should always start with a full sheet on the bottom!!
Love you guys. Keep up the great work. Thanks again for the daily videos. I soooo look forward to every one.
Thank you! Love your support!
Congrats, to all in the month of December push-up challenge along with the Johnson family!! Maybe start your day with the push ups and just edit it in at the end of the video!! Lol
Johnson, family keep up the great job your doing putting out some good old, down to earth content for your followers and viewers alike. Keep smiling:)
Good morning guys ...
Good morning!
Lol you sure could use a snowblower to clear the deck
Agreed! 😆
@@juliejohnson9531 electric broom, won't damage the deck boards.
You guys are doing great! I know you'll be glad when Dec is over so you can quit doing those darned push ups & the daily videos. I just want to thank you for your dedication & commitment!
good afternoon Martin👏👏👏
Hi!
when doing dry well install from the bottom, just a thought
Yes I can build from the ground up, every phase of construction, but have no HVAC experience.
I just wanted to give you a heads up if you don't already know. The condensation water from your vent on your furnace is not just water like what you get from the A/C. It is a very acidic water and is very corrosive . It should be drained away via PVC pipe. Not ABS pipe because ABS doesn't have the resistance .
You could also add a condensation neutralizer kit by the furnace . But two things to remember if you do that is 1) you will need to replace the filter media every once in a while and 2) make sure to have a by pass line around the kit, just in case it gets plugged.
The story is interesting and the family ties are very nice. But I want to see where I'm working a little more. If you do not do it from the outer wall, invisible damage to the internal structure of the wall will accumulate. From a Japanese architect.
