- New Home Construction from a Time Lapse Camera- Our custom home construction is finally complete and the time lapse camera footage is finished. I positioned an on-site camera, on a tree, at the front side of our proposed home lot the day construction was scheduled to begin. The camera captured one frame every 30 seconds throughout entire 156 day construction period. The final footage is edited here to show only the actual construction phases visible from the front of the house. Without the editing the video would have been 2.5 hours in length.
Here is aerial video of the home, post construction:

I also added a video to show what the house looks like from the lake, during a flood:

Love the house for sure. I live in Europe and I'm always stunned by the way how they built houses in the US. Totally diferent.
Thanks, @I NAGELS We absolutely love our home.
Ja genau ganz anders und auch nicht richtig. Osb aussen. Plus folie. Aussenwände 12cm stark.

Hello
Is just wood🙄
That raised my vibrations love it👍👍👍
Nice house!
It always amazes and baffles me why people assume the way they do things based on where they live or how they were taught , is the only way to do it. And if you don't do it their way, then you're ignorant and/or your project , whatever it is , will fall apart.
Thanks, Grady! I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment.
The house is beautiful. Thank you for sharing the video.
I really appreciate the kind comment. We love our home. Thanks for watching, @Matthew Tam
The music really ties this all together
When builders cut the camera there are one of two reasons. 1. They don't want someone to copy their technique, 2. They do something a certain way they know is wrong.
Hey, Trip. Actually, in our area a reason #3 is religious objection to being filmed. In our case it was an Amish framing crew that disable the camera and we strongly believe that they did it as an expression of their religious beliefs. While we can appreciate that, we're sure some of it was a misunderstanding of what the camera was being used for. It wasn't there to "watch the workers", it was there (shooting only one frame every 30 seconds) to capture the progress of the construction as the house went up for the time lapse. We were happy to discuss the camera and it's purpose with anyone working on site. We were there almost every day and discussed the camera and it's times lapse intent with everyone we had a chance to talk to. if anyone on site had an issue with the camera, they could have easily been assigned to a different project. Our builder had multiple projects going on in our area at the same time. Actually, every one of the workers that we had the privilege of speaking with absolutely loved working on our home due to it's serene location on the lake with nothing around but nature. Thanks for watching and for your comment.
Wow that's a beautiful home!!!
Thank you, @Erika Davila
Everything looks so beautiful
Thanks, @Yasmin Ghani . We absolutely love it!
Such a big house!!!! Beautiful!
Thanks, Cis Star. I appreciate your kind words.
A lot of hard work good job to everyone who builds houses and stuff
As a former custom home builder, we hate cameras watching us work lol but that’s still no excuse to disable it because if the home owners want the camera there it’s up to them

Hey, Brian W. The construction costs were around $290,000. However, this did not include any of the land preparation/ dirt work. Overall, we had around $80k out of pocket in addition to the construction costs. So, roughly $370,000 total project costs. Latest appraisal value is around $425,000. Thanks for watching!

Very nice home. Congrats. Our build is starting next week
Thanks so much, Midnightsun! Best wishes with your building project. As I'm sure you already know, there are so many decisions to make but when it's all complete there is an incredible feeling of accomplishment.
Ken Strong Thank you Ken Strong Yes sir the choices from insulation type to door knobs seem endless and there seems to be building meeting for everything. But we are very much looking forward to end result. We are building in Texas and hope to finish up about April
Im just looking how the trees become green and even more green :D

Construction workers are awesome!!!!
Thanks for watching and for your comment, Robert!
Wow they build it for 6 months but I watch it for 12:45 minutes, technology is awesome.
cool home
Every worker has a truck.. Except the guy in minute six... Has a small sedan.. LOL
Good observation! LOL. That was our trim guy. He did AMAZING work but, yes, he worked out of the back of a small sedan. He had the back all decked out with tools. Much different than the way all of the other contractors worked.
Your house is so amazing 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Thanks so much, Zubair Ali! We certainly love it
Nice to see old school stick framing...Must be great to work on a nice site like that on a lake...I've been building for 30 years....Our sites were never that interesting...:)...Looks like they did a nice job! Must be out west, shallow foundation.
Yes, the workers really enjoyed the site. It's also surrounded by about 60 acres of undeveloped wetlands. So, the wildlife in the area is great. The deer come right up to the house and during the construction there were always tracks about the foundation where they had came up to check it out. The location is in Northern Indiana.
Ken Strong I live in North East In. Where was this built and what builder.
We're in Kosciusko County
I love how your not takin any shit from anyone , i respect that my dude 👏 , great house aswell , how has it been so far?
Thanks, @Jamz Jam. We absolutely love our home...very few things we would change from the day we designed it. It's been a perfect fit for our family. Thanks again for the comment.
the guy who turned off the camera would have been fired. no excuse when they were told of time lapse.seemed to be amish so what nobody would have known who he was in as fast as it was tired of their excuses.
Sweet home😊🇮🇳
Thank you, @yash kamani We love our home!
shows how all the framers do the hard work! and other trades come in to make more and get a tip from owner on top of it.
Thanks for your comment and for watching, Tobias. I see your point, in some cases. With our project, there were some framing issues that cost the builder and other contractors more time to fix. Whereas, if they had been done right the first time by the framers, it would have saved a lot of extra work for later crews. I'm not sure if this is common or if we just got so lucky. Regardless, we are very happy with the finished product and completely love our home! Thanks again.
@@kenstrong1 guess it goes both ways if you have sloppy framers, just speaking from my own experience.
Your Exactly right I’m a home builder now days framed for over 25 years thinking things had to change and they never did. The Framer turned off the camera Because he did not to get sued if some one got hurt. You can’t take the time of afford proper scaffolding to really frame a home of you would go broke.
@@tobslobe you have sloppy framers Because their not getting paid shit.
@@kenstrong1 Yea it’s real common Because you need to be a total dumb ass to stick with framing low pay and have to know every trades job.
Amazing so beautiful xxx
Thanks so much, Tracy! We are really happy with it.
Wow 💎💎💎👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Wow, I am really like the house. I love it. So keep going. I think I am put a subscribe now. Thank you.
Thanks so much, James Boberg.

Hello
Very nice well
Thanks, Sonu Monu
I have this weird fantasy of just living in the house as it's built. Lots of prerequisites needed, but assuming those are met (e.g. Already owning the property) imagine putting up a tent on the concrete foundation and syncing yourself up so that you're awake and gone by the time the crew is there. Then imagine the cozy feeling of coming home each day to see the house more complete.
Or alternatively build it yourself if it's small enough. Harder to do, but still an option.
Cool idea, MegaAstroFan18. We had the opportunity to be there and walk through each day of construction to get the same feel. To understand what was behind the walls and how it all was coming together was very interesting. This also gave us a chance to meet many of the workers building our home. We moved in with so much more appreciation for the finished product. Thanks for sharing!
bums do this regularly and leave surprises on the floor.
Just watched this. I've been drawn to these home construction videos due to my journey to manifest my own dream home (don't know if you practice Law of Attraction). Can't wait! Ken, did you draw floorplans of what you wanted this house to be like and submit them as well as the vacant space you wanted the house to be on?
Hi @Anna Loveberry Babycakes . Thanks for watching and for your question. Yes, my wife and I went to the builders with a proposed floor plan and the plot layout with the lake. Actually, we took it to several builders to see what price and plans they came back with. We ended up going with a builder who, not only embraced our plan ideas, he expanded upon them in ways that complimented the lake view more and included elements that we had never considered. We were very happy with the builder we selected. Thanks again!
Only beauty
Thank you, @Nazneen Akhter
Our houses are built with 2 line bricks from foundation to roof level.
Great video. Thumbs up
Thank you, @Mark xa
This reminds me of the time lapse house building film on Sesame Street with fast piano music.
Дом прекрасен, простые геометрические элементы, ровные линии, отличный дизайн! Мне нравятся дома в США, такие аккуратные, чистые, гармоничные, большие и одновременно компактные. Вы, я так понимаю, по проекту строили дом? Может вы помните, в какой программе был создан проект дома? Revit или AutoCAD? Хотелось бы тоже такие красивые дома проектировать и строить. Правда жаль, что все-таки это дорого, и в России такое немногие в состоянии позволить себе.
Большое спасибо за добрые слова. Нам очень нравится наш дом! Мы передали концепцию нашего дома строителю, который выполнил реальный дизайн и чертежи. К сожалению, я не уверен, какую дизайнерскую программу он использовал. Еще раз спасибо за просмотр и за ваши комментарии.
Beautiful home, I love the American homes , so much space , here in The uk they would have crammed 10 houses on your plot .
Thank you, Richard Marsh. We really appreciate that! We feel very blessed to have the space and home that we have. It is plenty enough for us and our family of 5. We really wouldn't want anymore square footage. Yet, it is still slightly smaller than what is considered the "average" size of homes built in America.
That is so true! Lots of houses this size being knocked down round here and replaced with 3 houses or a block of 6 flats. Essex, UK
90% of the comments: “whY dID u UsE wOOd, rEEe”
Valid question. America has matchbox houses.
@@hmpz36911 wrong. America has big, cheap homes while europe lives in small brick or concrete cages.
Even in Europe, wood is having a renaissance when it comes to building material, even for multi family homes. The main question here is: where the heck is the insulation? No wonder the US have such absurd per capita energy use. It's not just the gas guzzlers in the streets, it's houses without any insulation where you're mainly heating and cooling the outside...
Thanks for watching and for the comment, @DoeDoeJohn . What you are seeing in this video is only the outside perspective of construction. The insulation is installed AFTER the outer structure is completed. Thick fiberglass roll insulation is installed between the studs, sandwiched between inner and outer walls. Then, cellulose insulation is sprayed into the upper attic space. Our home is actually VERY efficient. Our utility bill for this, roughly, 2700' home is much less than my previously, older, 1100' home. Not only is the insulation an impact on this but we also went with all LED lighting, an on demand water heater, and energy efficient appliances all throughout to save on energy. Overall, I'm very happy with our home's efficiency and calling it a "gas guzzler" couldn't be farther from the truth. Thanks again for watching and I hope that this answers your question.
Great house and great video. I plan to do the same in Europe. Would appreciate sharing info with you guys
Thanks, Joe Chow! Best wishes on your project. We love our home!
Ola Ken excelente vídeo o melhor que já vi, gostei do modelo da casa acho que vou fazer uma igual kkk,
parabéns, na beira do rio deve ter uma vista linda?
gracias y gracias por mirar
Quá tuyệt vời
Cảm ơn bạn! Chúng tôi yêu nó.
Yea
Great video! What camera was used? Did you have to change batteries?
Thanks for watching and for your question, John. We used the TLC200 Time Lapse Camera by Brinno. I believe this particular camera has been discontinued now but there are other great time lapse cameras out there. This one was not the greatest image quality but it was right in the price range for a camera that I felt comfortable leaving outside for months on end. The batteries and SD card lasted up to a month at a time, without any issues. The only thing I would have changed was my positioning of the camera. I secured it to a large branch on a very large tree, about 15' off the ground. I never realized how much even a large branch would move with the wind...which is what led to some of the "jitteriness" in some parts of the completed video.
156 days it so long wow
Aiden Smelyansky just over 5 months!
Five month? That is fast than I thought
It to 156 days to put siding on the outside wall?
beautiful view, where is this approx located at? the trees and lake are goregous
Thanks, SharpStudios0. We are located in Northern Indiana, not far from Fort Wayne.
@@kenstrong1 wow would have never guessed that... im across the way in chicago and that looked west or east coast ish
What camera did you use? We're beginning our custom build of our home in March and I'm trying to find something that's somewhat affordable ($500 range?), weather proof, and that I can mount up and not have to change the batteries until we move it to indoor construction. Thanks!
We used the TLC200 Time Lapse Camera by Brinno. This was over 4 years ago. So, there is likely a better product on the market today to achieve better image quality and stabilization. Our was not the greatest image quality but, at the time, it was right in the price range for a camera that I felt comfortable leaving outside for months on end. The batteries and SD card lasted up to a month at a time, without any issues. The only thing I would have changed was my positioning of the camera. I secured it to a large branch on a very large tree, about 15' off the ground. I never realized how much even a large branch would move with the wind...which is what led to some of the "jitteryness" in some parts of the completed video. I hope this helps! Thanks for watching.
Did you get everything you wanted here or are there more renovations in store for later once the budget increases?
Thanks for asking, Corbin Willis. We really got everything we wanted here. The only thing that we would consider adding in the future would be a swimming pool. We did pre-plan for a pool in the construction process as far as the location and power panel installation. This house provides everything our family would need for many years to come. The only thing that you don't see on the aerial footage on the link below is the large gangway and floating pier that I built on the lake side. It was added last summer.

What type of setup did you use to film? My husband and I will be having a house built in the near future and love the idea of filming.

Thanks for watching!
They're ok.
Ken strong .nice video .🇹🇷
Thanks!
Work done in 12.5 super fast forward but took more than 5 months. I know a town house with 6 units (where I live) done in less than a month. And it is two floors.
Congrats, MegaBobtube. I hope you rewarded them with a nice post construction bonus for getting you in so fast. From my understanding, 3-6 months is pretty common for single family dwelling construction here in the midwest US. Yes, there were multiple days that the site sat with no activity, waiting for one contractor or another. However, we were overall pleased with the time frame and the finished product. Overall, it worked out perfectly for us. We closed on our previous house sale one week and closed on the new house purchase the next week. So, we were able to go right from one house to the other with no delays or trying to find a temporary place in between. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching and for your observations. This is actually a city build, not in the county, and we were under the supervision of a complete idiot building inspector that was out of control, demanding absolutely ridiculous hoop jumping by our builders. I am happy to say that our city has since terminated him. My in-laws own about 50 acres of undeveloped land in the City (mostly wetlands). So, you feel like you're out in the country even though we are in the heart of the City.
Really enjoyed this. We are building right now. Our basement is done. Main level framing supposed to start next week. We are supposed to be moved in by Feb 28th. That's about six months.
Question? At what point do they do the exterior of the house. Like when do they put on the siding, brick or stone. Ours will be stone. I am hoping our stone will be up by nov before it gets super cold here in Indiana.
Oh I just read through the comments and seen where this was built. Very close to me. I am in Fort Wayne. Granite Ridge is building our home. My sister worked for them when we started this entire process. She has since quit and started with a different builder. We went to Bob Buescher. But without signing a purchase agreement we couldn't get a exact cost. It was very close to our GR bid but was missing a lot from that bid. So we went with them.
Thanks for watching, Christine, and sorry for the delayed response. For some reason, CZcams hadn't notified me of pending comments. First of all, congrats on your new construction! I think the exterior timing is all going to be dependent on your builder and the availability of their sub-contractors. We are also in Indiana, within Kosciusko County, and I know that, for their own ability to work through the winter, they are probably likely to get your stone on by the time a hard freeze hits. However, we learned that it's a waiting game at times, from one construction stage to the next. Your framer may get their part done but then the stone masons may be tied up on another project. I think it all comes down to your builder and how many contractors they have available vs how many active projects they have going.
Lol...we had just exactly the opposite experience. We started with Granite Ridge and ended up switching to Bob Buscher Homes. Hopefully all goes well for you! Thanks again for watching.
Speed x2
156 days, wow...........now that is a long long long time.............here in Sweden, when the foundations have been done, and all the necessary things done water sewerage etc etc etc a home is erected in 2 days................pre assembled in a factory. transported overnight and lifted into place, 2 days and move in
Haha...From the time we contacted the utility company (NIPSCO) about the construction, it took them almost an entire year just to get power to the site. Good thing our builders aren't Sweden fast or we would have been living off of generator power our first year! Almost the entire construction project was performed with generator power only. We didn't get electricity to the site until about 20 days before move in.
The faster a house goes up, the faster it falls down
Isnt it funny the sider is the only one who just couldn't get done in a reasonable time frame. All over the place for about a week.
Good observation, Troc Tolumine. Yes, we were kind of scratching our heads on his "technique". He would show up for a 2-3 hours at a time, side a small patch, then take off and come back a day or two later to work another few hours. It made absolutely no sense to us, especially when he was driving nearly an hour each way to work on our project. Regardless, in the end, he did do nice work. We were most impressed with the guy who did all the trim work. He was a master perfectionist and his finished work is astonishing. Thanks for watching!
I know the columns just before the entrance made from Wood, but at the end of the video the two columns became thicker . What material was applied to wood columns to make thick wide column?
Your house is very amazing , I loved it . Thanks for sharing this video with us
Thanks for watching, Mohamed. Good catch on the columns. Yes, the under structure is a wood post framing that was finished off with a Boral trim to make them impervious to Indiana weather conditions. This is the same finish used around the windows and doors. The Boral is almost a concrete type of material. I used it myself to finish off the deck posts on the South end of the house in a similar fashion. It was a great product to work with and will last many more years than wood. You can see the finished deck support posts on the aerial video of the home, post construction:

Thanks again for watching!
What a nice looking house! Is it easier to build houses from wood? I mean is it easier to get "creative" with the shape and size of the house when building it from wood? All of the houses in the US look different from each other and have different shapes, i want to know some more about it.
Thanks for watching, TrillionaireHD. Unfortunately, I'm not an expert on construction materials. We tried to incorporate a wide range of materials into our project on the inside and outside of the structure for a unique look, for the longevity of the structure, but also to keep the cost within our reasonable budget. For example, the trim around the windows and exterior doors is Boral, which lasts much longer than other trim choices and is essentially maintenance free. At the same time, we incorporated features within the house such as a large manufactured stone fireplace within the main room, which extends from floor to the 14' ceiling of the main level as a centerpiece. Building on the lake we wanted to create something with it's own signature look and layout.
Beautiful location! :) Which lake is this?
Thanks for watching, Emily! This is on Pike Lake.
After applying house wrap , which material is better choice to apply or it is possible to apply colour paint directly, it may be work or not, plz tell me any possible material as a option
Thanks for the follow up, Firoz. I am not an expert, but I do not believe the Tyvek is intended to be painted or used as the final outer layer. It is intended to be a moisture barrier beneath a finished surface. Most construction uses, that I have seen, use some type of siding (vinyl or metal) or stone as an outer layer.
Can you please tell me what material is applied on the exterior walls (finished)?
The finished surface is vinyl siding with a Boral wrap trim around the windows and doors, then manufactured stone at the base of the house.
Damn that took a long time to build
No, 6 months is pretty standard
They would never complete in 156 days without the background music.
Looks nice , how long would a wooden framed house be expected to last?
Hey, Mark! With proper maintenance, upkeep, and renovations with time it should last indefinitely. I don't think frame houses ever really wear out. I know of a couple well past 200 years old. Functional obsolescence is much more a problem. Heating/cooling/electrical systems become obsolete or the basic layout falls out of style. With the exception of some type of major catastrophe, its not likely to just fall down. Individual pieces will need replacement with time but not the whole house. Studs and joists don't just start bending, unless there is a roof leak or something else going wrong. So, upkeep is the real key. Thanks for watching!
I know right😅😅😅
@@kenstrong1 how long did it take to build?
Lol, why does the music remind me of Spongebob.😂 Btw nice house👍🏼
Haha...thanks! I guess I never made the Spongebob connection but it could have been subliminal...my 7 year old is addicted to Spongebob!! So, I hear that tune ALL THE TIME! Thanks for watching.
What type of camera outfit did you use to make this video? Thanks.
We used the TLC200 Time Lapse Camera by Brinno. It's not the greatest image quality but it was right in the price range for a camera that I felt comfortable leaving outside for months on end. Now, over two years later, there may be better products out there. The batteries and SD card in the Brinno lasted up to a month at a time, without any issues. The only thing I would have changed was my positioning of the camera. I secured it to a large branch on a very large tree, about 15' off the ground. I never realized how much even a large branch would move with the wind...which is what led to some of the "jitteriness" in some parts of the completed video. Thanks for watching.
Europeans really know nothing on American Home Building and all the planning that goes into it but choose to comment anyway.
What the planning is? From one hurricane to another. Wooden boxes for everyone and stone houses for celebrities.
dshchurov, Thanks for taking the time to comment but please understand the we live in the midwest United States. The closest Ocean to Indiana is nearly 600 miles away. Tornadoes, occasionally...Blizzards, rarely...but Hurricanes, extremely unlikely. Thanks for your concern though.
General the build quality in Europe is better.
@@henkvermalen Everyone in Europe lives in concrete boxes with no space at all. I prefer wooden houses any day of the week.

Hey Ken, great job. Just a couple of questions here, i'm about to build one myself and i was wondering what kind of software or program to use to make a lookalike video? I mean, yours was actually made from video clips or from pictures taken once every 30 seconds? Should i record videos or take photos once every 5 minutes? I will use an IP camera FOSCAM FI9828P for exterior to record/take photos of the building site. I saw something interesting in Adobe premiere pro version that you can speed up video clips and the outcome is pretty nice, but should i go for pictures instead? What software or program should i try? Thanks.
Hey D Ion, I personally use Adobe Premier Pro and that is what I used on this particular project. I think photos vs. video really depends on your camera and it's capabilities. The time lapse cameras do a pretty good job, themselves, of weaving the photos into a nice video format for the desired outcome. I still had to speed up my footage significantly in Premier Pro to render down to the 12 minute length. I have a feeling that video may just be too large to work with on a complete build. It's pretty much comparing 2 frames per minute to 1800 frames per minute. It would be very interesting to compare the final product though to see the difference. Best wishes with your build and thanks for watching!
Ken Strong thanks for the answer bro. I think I'll go with the pictures as well, the camera is great, 1.3 MP exterior IP webcam but the struggle to handle that much of GB in video files it will probably give me a headache in the end since it will take like 5 months or so till the house will be finished. plus pictures loads better and faster on the program used to compile a video clip instead of actual video footage of the building site. moreover since I'll be doing a clip once every 3-4 days or so then combine them all together in the end and also I will set the camera to take pictures once every 60 seconds... we'll see what I'll end up with, wish me luck lol... I'll keep you updated once the house will be finished. thanks again.
Square, sheet and paper the walls before you stand them... much easier

I really like the style of this house, how much does it cost to complete the construction?
The construction costs were around $290,000 USD. However, this did not include any of the land preparation/ dirt work. Overall, we had around $80k out of pocket in addition to the construction costs. So, roughly $370,000 total project costs. Latest appraisal value is around $425,000. Thanks for watching!
@@kenstrong1 Thank you for your reply
What a beautiful home, did you design it yourself? Mind if I ask a few questions about it?
Thanks so much, Sam Gonzales. I came up with the original design and layout then my wife and I approached a local builder who really embraced our ideas and built upon them to create a home that exceeded our original expectations. Feel free to post any questions here. Many answers may be found in the comments below. Thanks again for your kind comments.
@@kenstrong1 I read all comments on both videos. Did you get multiple quotes or a single one. Was the price based on location as well or just labor. Were you able to get internet ran to your home considering no neighbors
Great questions, Sam. We did get multiple quotes and actually began the process with an entirely different builder. However, we came to a stopping point with that builder when they wanted to throw in the additional $25,000 unplanned cost of helical piers at our expense. I have to say, that's one of the best things that could have happened. Though we had to go through the entire planning process twice, we ended up with a home that was so much better than what our first builder was capable of. The price was based solely on the structure itself. We built on land that has been owned by my wife's family for over 50 years. We're surrounded by 55 acres of wooded natural habitat, yet we live right in the heart of the city. It's truly the best of both worlds. The internet truly has been one of the most challenging aspects of our site. It took an entire year just to get utilities ran to the site. At this time, we have went round and round with the local cable based internet provider with no success. We have attempted to go satellite based but have faced challenges due to the location of the satellites and the trees on our property. We have been able to get cellular based internet but it is no where close to "high-speed". I'm not complaining though. I use the computer at work but, when I'm home, I try to spend my time with my family and enjoy the beautiful surroundings that we live in. Thanks again for the great questions and for taking the time to comment.
@@kenstrong1 thank you so much for answering my questions
@Eddie Sloan Might have better luck converting it to SM fiber or something. We do it in the Government everywhere there's long length requirements.
what camera did you use for this video?
We used the TLC200 Time Lapse Camera by Brinno. It's not the greatest image quality but it was right in the price range for a camera that I felt comfortable leaving outside for months on end. The batteries and SD card lasted up to a month at a time, without any issues. The only thing I would have changed was my positioning of the camera. I secured it to a large branch on a very large tree, about 15' off the ground. I never realized how much even a large branch would move with the wind...which is what led to some of the "jitteryness" in some parts of the completed video. Thanks for watching.
I wonder. How did they connect all the tube so the waste water will go to the sewage treatment.
All of the pipes that you see being placed within the foundation, prior to the concrete being poured, are the ventilation pipes and sewage pipes. The openings to these pipes stick up through the poured concrete and the contractors then connect to these once the utilities are being installed. In our case, the sewage comes out of the foundation on the front side of the house and connects with a pump and grinder system, called an E1 system. You can see us installing the E1 system into the ground at the very bottom left corner of the frame at 11:40 in the video. Our home required an E1 system as we have to pump our sewage nearly half a mile before it connects with the city sewer line. This is accomplished through a flexible pipe, about 2" in diameter. Thanks for watching and for your question!
Cool house. Just curious why it wasn't built on stilts seeing as that river seems really close.
We had two options with construction in order to build above the FEMA regulated flood plain grade and alleviate the requirement to have high cost flood insurance throughout the life of our loan. We could either construct on helical piers/pilings or we could build the grade up to the FEMA flood plain grade level. As my father in law does excavating and has the equipment and capabilities to adjust the grade, we opted to build up the pad ourselves to save the roughly $30,000 it would have cost to have the house constructed on piers or pilings. Basically, that's $30k that we could spend on the house instead of sinking it into the ground. Of course, it didn't come without a lot of hoops and hassles. However, we successfully established a pad that met the requirements of the building and planning department and, subsequently, were able to file a LOM-R with FEMA to have our house officially removed from the flood plain. We only had to pay for flood insurance throughout the construction process. We actually sit on a Lake, not a river, and since construction was completed we have added a natural stone (glacial stone) seawall along the lake side of the house which has stopped much of the pre-existing erosion. At the elevation FEMA required us to build, houses across the lake would be flooded halfway to their roof before flood waters would even touch our foundation.
What camera system did you use? thanks
Hey Erik, we used the TLC200 Time Lapse Camera by Brinno.

Hey few questions:
1. At minute 4/5 What are those boards that you put on the roof called? And what are they made of?
2. I also see some kind of black cover out over the roof of the garage. What is that called?
3. What does the Tyvek do?
4. What type of external cladding is that at the end?
Thx
Thanks for watching and for your excellent questions, @bobulatorul . Unfortunately, I am just the homeowner and am unable to answer all of your questions. Maybe someone else in the profession can chime in and reply with a better answer for you. I think the black cover you are referring to over the garage is felt paper, which goes underneath the shingles. The Tyvek is a house wrap that reduces air and water infiltration to helps prevent drafts and water damage. I hope this helps. Thanks again for watching!
1. I think you are referring to the rafters. They are dimensional framing lumber, usually 2x8.
2. The black cover is tar paper/ roofing felt and provides a water repellant layer below the roof shingles in case wind blows the shingles up and water gets under them.
3. Tyvek is a water repellant also, but it has holes to allow water/vapor to escape out from the inside. This in theory prevents rot if there was a water intrusion as it would allow the area to dry.
4. Hard to tell because the video is so sped up and I can't see the installation process well, but it looks like Hardie siding, which is made of fiber reinforced cement. It has some advantages of longevity and water resistance over wood siding, though at an increased up front cost.
Thanks so much, Charlie Walter. I appreciate your responses and insight.
