This is like a new TV series where you have to wait for a week for the next episode. Im digging the constant videos, you guys are killing it.
You guys are living the dream. Who wouldn't want to build their own dream house with someone as knowledgable as pops helping.
Jordan, just think, 25 - 30 years from now you’ll be sitting in your living room telling your grandchildren how your dad helped you build a house. Paul, you must be so proud of your son.
you really should sheath the walls before you go up any further, it will brace you walls to keep the structure from collapsing.
Tool sponsors caught sleeping... Please like this for the crew!!! Honestly tool sponsors and mild reviews would be an easy extra addition to the videos.
As an electrician, a tear rolled down my cheek when you nailed the top plates near the studs. I’ve roughed exactly one house in 20 years that did it that way.
My dad was a journeyman carpenter for 50 years. The house he built is so solid that nothing squeeks or shakes - he put blocking in all the walls and floors. This is the first I have seen that in ages! Modern 'wisdom' says that OSB stapled to studs is good enough for shear strength...
Paul, you posed a question to the viewers as to why flies were all over your lumber stack. I have a possible answer, feel the wood and see if it's warm. The flies got wet in the storm and were probably cold. The wood pile absorbs heat all day and because of it's mass retains a good bit of that heat through the night. They will most likely leave on their own as the sun warms the site going about their daily tasks.
As a longtime Union Carpenter, I’m enjoying watching your progress. I’m glad you are showing that this is hard work, yet extremely rewarding. Some advice; this would go much faster if you all wore tool belts. And Jordan, leave the sandals at the beach. You would be dismissed on any real job in Chicagoland. Have fun Boys!
Man guys be safe out there! Rad you just about gave me a heart attack on the ladder stretching out for the nail gun. One slip and it’s too late my friend! An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure! “Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.” Quote by Tim at Awesome Framers . Seriously though, I know you guys have a job to do but it’ll never get done as fast if one or more of you have a preventable accident. Love the build and so glad you got something that’s coming to life before our eyes! Stay safe and keep up the good work!

I have reached the conclusion that air compressors have the ability to understand human speech. It's the only way they could know to turn on as soon as you start talking on camera! LOL
I realize filming, editing, and managing video makes any job 2x harder. We appreciate you guys!
Im 26 and I just left teaching to become a project manager for a custom home builder and this channel makes me so excited for my new career. Y’all are so great and I hope you know you’re inspiring the next generation of trades!
It’s nice to see this coming together after all the setbacks
Man, I REALLY like the way you guys work:
Hey studpack, here's a carpentry trick for framing stair openings without needing joist hangers for the joists that butt into the double header. The easy way to remember it is "inside, outside, inside, outside."
Code might not call for it but adding metal straps under the bottom plate & up both sides of the studs is a good investment. Place them close to the anchor bolts. Adding metal straps tying the first floor studs to the second floor studs is also wise. Diagonal strapping the corners is one way to keep the structure vertical when you have a second story. Tall structures need better wind resistance. These measures make the difference of your neighbors house toppling and yours staying put in a huracane or tropical depression.
I'm loving this build! My only concern is getting furniture up that stairwell... you have to come in from between the house and garage, then do a 90 degree turn into the stairwell then another 90 degree at the top of the stairs with a 5' landing. I think the garage door should come from the front of the garage straight into the stairwell, then you only have one turn at the top to worry about.
Best show hands down! Way better than a generic TV show. Super happy to you you guys are making so much progress. It's been a journey to watch! Thanks!!
