Nice work as usual. There is more time efficient and more quality way of installing wood window frames. The way frame could be assembled is in one piece. Pre-cut everything, put it on the floor, nail it up on corners, then use drill bit with counter sink on all corners to pre-drill holes. Add few black screws to secure all parts of frame together and you have fully assembled frame. All you do is put it in place, shim it up a bit, shoot a few nails and add some expansion foam. You are all done. It takes some extra time to assemble frame, but you save time on all the shimming in place, besides all gaps at connections of the wood are completely invisible and everything is squared. Cheers! If client wishes to pay a little extra, I would add some grove with hand router to the sill and trim.
I have loved this build and been truly inspired. My parents are currently homeless sadly. I own a house on 2 acres and plan to build them a house just like this so they can have a place to live. It’ll will take me along time because I don’t have $100k to spend but I will make it happen for them. The are in their 60s and 700 sq ft would be perfect for them. Thank you for all the tips.
"Guitar Hero portion of the video " love your humor and that game!. Thank you for explaining where the wood comes from. Interesting that they each buy from different countries and not ours..
Good lord! @6:55! That view is breathtaking! And your thorough planning really shows! And just with modest but very nice fixtures you make a GREAT house!
My friend lives in a small town and someone just built a small house to sell, as a test to see how it goes, they will do some more. Oh man... they did everything opposite of you! Every choice the cheapest,smallest windows of the lowest quality. It over looks several acres of beautiful rolling rural hills. No view from house 😩 the kitchen planning non existent. Just slapped up some cheap cabinets. No driveway, no walkway. They are asking like 3 x what it cost to build, I think. They are going for profit over quality. It’s super sad. I can’t help but compare. Look at how much you do with simple, good quality but not exorbitant materials and thoughtful planning. I wish there were more people like you!
I had many people approach me and try to get in business with me to do just that. I turn it down every time, I'm not putting my name down on something just for money. I want to help with affordable housing, I grew up poor so I will always remember how it felt when someone did something nice for us. But let me get of my soap box, and thank you for the kind words. Thank you.
The view from the living room windows is awesome. I would love to have a morning coffee on a deck with a view like that. I would do that everyday. Thanks for the video 👍
Great feeling to watch your window trim video. Came great I wouldn't have changed anything. God job. Thanks for the pricing info. Regards from Indonesia
I LOVE THE TRIM-OUT ON THE WINDOWS! Sorry for the shouty caps, buts that’s EXACTLY what I want in the house my hubby and I are going to be building. I’ve been binge-watching this series since I found it (absolute GOLD!!) and seeing this house “born”...thank you for sharing everything that you have. This series is literally going to change my life, bc it’s helped me figure out so many things and has saved me from making stupid mistakes. Thank you!! 🙏🙏🙏
I really like your simple approach, simple trim no miter cuts , 1x materials. We love the slight over hang on the top piece, the only thing I do differently is a 10 degree cut on the piece under the sill.
I'm binge watching the entire project. I think I could buy a large shed and finish it myself. Inspiring I like how in over ten videos you have only said "Subscribe" once. 👍👍
Been watching you. You are really different..oh I wish I could have you be my builder ! Your philosophy is great. Your homes are too 720 squ is perfect !
Absolutely love that home. Was imagining a nice chair near where the camera was with that nice view. Noticed windows were open just a bit is that because of the stain odor. I really appreciate you and your channel. Thanks
I know you don’t like particle board (mdf) but it’s really the best for crown molding that’ll be painted white. It’s easy to work with is less expensive and No one would know it’s mdf. For base and case molding I always use real wood (typically finger joined since it’ll be painted white in my house)
Yes, it all depends where you put it. I seen that stuff in mobile homes as a sub floor and had my friend walk on it and his foot went right through the floor. We redid the whole bathroom (water leak)
Thank you, Migraine. You are an exceptionally talented craftsman. Your quality work continues to inspire! One day I would like to build my own affordable home. Any suggestions on training or programs to develop skill and confidence? Also, can you suggest a good building design software? Again, thank you. You bring a lot of joy to others as you share your expertise. Please keep up the great work. Your CZcams channel is destined for great success and I enjoy sharing it with friends & family. Sincerely, -Paul 😀
Hey Paul, I design ll my homes with "Home designer by chief architect" Google their site and you can play with the free trial. As for research youtube is great for that, there are plenty of channels out there. Also often overlooked are public libraries that have many books on the subject.
There's an older house down the block from me that has external measurements of 20ft by 20ft I don't recall if the owner said it's a one-bedroom or two-bedroom, but I think it's 2 People in the past grew up in much smaller houses than people of today think they need Of course a lot of that has to do with building codes as well
There is a person not too far from this property who just built a guest house that size. Came out great even had a little front porch the width of the house, it was 1 bedroom 1 bathroom.
Nice and precise. I switched over to a Japanese Ryoba saw for making these kind of cuts and haven't looked back. No dust and limited noise. Have you tried one yet?
Really appreciated your videos! I built homes 25 years ago. Much is the same but prices are so much higher these days. Question...which is cheaper, prefab rafters or ones built on site? Thanks
A 2 by 12 can run your $20 some odd bucks, a truss would be more expensive but it all depends who does your labor to install the rafters. I will say trusses are so much easier/faster to install and I think I'm going to start doing trusses only from now on.
I'm a simple person so some nice wood cabinets(stained so the knots show) granite countertops (light color) and oil rubbed bronze appliances (which do not exist). Lots of windows, tongue and groove everywhere and a fireplace somewhere near it, I like the cabin/rustic look. Maybe one day I'll build something like that.
@@MigraineCraftsman make sure you share it with us. A friend has a kitchen with a HUGE fireplace that is double sided. So there's a fireplace right in front of their dining table, and then the other side in their family room. My dream. Thanks for answering me. And for sharing your videos. They bring me joy.
@@OhanaLulu I like the double sided fireplaces my self, I seen one in a hotel that was in a lobby, stone everywhere all the way up 2 stories, loved it.
Very nice! I'm curious how you found the buyer before you even finished the house. Did you advertise ahead of time or was this like a referral or something? Do you like doing it that way? It's good for the buyer so she can have a little input on some things.
Word of mouth, some one mentioned I was building a house a lady came by, liked it and decided to buy it. Beauty of working in a small town :) This might sound weird but I live a certain way, and this is what happens from time to time, you reap what you sow sort of thing.
House is sold (Georgia), I will talk about all the details once it is done and the ink has dried on the check. Take a look at the other series I have on youtube, you can see pricing on those.
Migraine Craftsman I wanted to watch the video before I commented on it, but being first click I had to say hi, I love the video and was wondering if u were doing wood floor also, or do u think that would be “too much” wood?
@@nicksteel8199 The floor will be vinyl (dark wood look) , easy to clean, water proof and easy to put down, plus that stuff lasts a long time. That will be next weeks episode with pricing of course. Btw, You will also see me do about 10,000 squats in that episode lol

Thx
What a beautiful view! The owner is really going to enjoy looking out at those beautiful mountains!
"Guitar Hero portion of the video " love your humor and that game!. Thank you for explaining where the wood comes from. Interesting that they each buy from different countries and not ours..
I was suprised myself, I hear all the time how much lumber we get from Canada but these countries are a world away.
Good lord! @6:55! That view is breathtaking! And your thorough planning really shows! And just with modest but very nice fixtures you make a GREAT house!
I could see myself sitting there overlooking a small fire pit and enjoying the view :)
Migraine Craftsman the way you framed it and made it part of the house is priceless!
You’re an inspiration. Thank you

Thank you.
We plan to build a small house in N.
Georgia soon. Thank you for all the great ideas.
You are welcome, thank you for watching.
Love those ceilings
Nice step bye step video Bud. Very informative & I find your voice overs relaxing!! Hoping all is well Bud, Dirty Jersey out!!
Looks beautiful! We are told we need a big house but we don't. I love the smaller homes they're so much cozier .
Yes, and cheaper to live with and less to clean whats not to love. Less house more life.
The view from the living room windows is awesome.
I would love to have a morning coffee on a deck with a view like that.
I would do that everyday.
Thanks for the video 👍
Thank you for watching
That looks like my dream house. Great work!
surprising how a few bits of wood transform the house. it's starting to look and feel like a home. I'm jealous of the buyer already ;)
Simple and cheap, no need for expensive to look good, that is my opinion of course.
Oh gosh I love that ! It’s looking so good !
Thank you :)
My next item to do on my remodel is to set the toilet...wish me luck! Love the ceilings and trim.
As long as you dont use it before installing it you should be fine :)
Nice work, very professional.
Great feeling to watch your window trim video. Came great I wouldn't have changed anything. God job.

I love your work and your little houses. Please keep up the good work. 👍
Hey just want to drop in and say hello. The house is looking good and everything‘s coming together. Keep on keeping on.
I really appreciate it! and I mean it.
/cheers for the youtube algorithm
Love the trim, I am going to make my own as well, just keep it I white.
High visual impact with the window placement and the pretty trim. The ceiling is also quite a nice touch and ties in so nicely. I like this a lot.
Thx
Good job, well done! 👍😁

Clean work as usual!
Wow 😯 those window views are amazing 🥰 And yes the trim you did looks really nice 😊
Thx
I really like how the window frames turned out. I’ll have to try it on our tiny house. 😊
Go for it, simple and fairly cheap.
Been watching you. You are really different..oh I wish I could have you be my builder ! Your philosophy is great. Your homes are too

@@MigraineCraftsman sounds excellent
Enjoying your house build. Hey could you start adding a running total each video to show total spending thus far?
Thank you and I'm actually going to cover the total cost at the end
Very cool how it turned out!
When it is timely, would appreciate an HVAC update on the company that sent 3 install trucks.
Still dealing with them, I was told now they dont have any trim that will cover all that mess outside so the guy is looking for a solution.
Nice and precise. I switched over to a Japanese Ryoba saw for making these kind of cuts and haven't looked back. No dust and limited noise. Have you tried one yet?
Have not tried it but did see it at work. Seen some wideos of people cutting post and beam with something that looked like them.
I don't know when you're doing the kitchen but I got a recommendation for cabinets, check out medium oak cabinets from home depot
You definitelly want to watch my kitchen episode, the cabinets will come from there. (unfinished)
Really appreciated your videos! I built homes 25 years ago. Much is the same but prices are so much higher these days. Question...which is cheaper, prefab rafters or ones built on site? Thanks

Nic work, i like it :)
Do you go back with filler putty for the nail holes or are they not big enough to worry about? Thank you for sharing!
What would your dream kitchen look like? What color cabinets? What would the countertops look like and be made of?
I'm a simple person so some nice wood cabinets(stained so the knots show) granite countertops (light color) and oil rubbed bronze appliances (which do not exist). Lots of windows, tongue and groove everywhere and a fireplace somewhere near it, I like the cabin/rustic look.
Maybe one day I'll build something like that.

How much did it cost per sq. foot? I think you did a 100% job on the window trim, simple, but that's all you need.
I'll talk about the total price of the build once it is done, so stay tuned.

Good morning
It may be economical but for me 1x casing is too clunky. I'd rather have white sheet rock ceilings with nice window and door trim.
What state are you building these homes?
Nc and Ga
@@MigraineCraftsman 👍
I'd buy this house :v
Is this house for sale and if so how much? And location?
House is sold (Georgia), I will talk about all the details once it is done and the ink has dried on the check.

@@caddydax I meant playlists I have 3 of them for 3 different builds. czcams.com/users/MigraineCraftsmanplaylists

You didn't show how the ceiling was installed.
Yeah the guys snuck in and got it done.
I’m the first view
Thank you

You mean mdf not particle board
Don't tell the man what he means
Is the homeowner watching the CZcams videos?!?!
Not yet, the previous one (little cabin) did.
Everyone knows that Finland makes better boards than Sweden.
