    Great video Jesse... You should get 200,000 views on this one. Can't wait to see you work on it some more. The customer will want to tear down the rest of the house next and let you do a really nice home for him. Have a great day and stay safe.

    As someone who knows almost nothing about construction, I enjoy the parts of the video where you explain what you are doing and why. Ignore the nitpickers and the haters. You are sharing your knowledge and expertise with a worldwide audience, most of whom don't know how these things are accomplished. Good on you, sir.

    Thanks for the video Jesse! I look forward to learning about foundations and forms. You're right, there really isn't a whole lot of info out there about this stuff. Same goes with electrical. Your video on running electric to the shed helped me out a lot. Thanks for the awesome content, appreciate all the info and insight.

    I was involved in a restoration a church that was over 100 years old . The job was partially funded with Federal Funds seeing as it was in a Historical District with extremely tight regulations . When I peeled the old brick off of the building I found Termite Damage to the 42 in. by 38 in. seal beams that were upwards to 40 feet long . The job stopped until Federal Officials from Washington D.C. came here to central Arkansas and set the regulations as how to fix the termite damage . The termite damage was sand blasted down to good solid wood that was damaged close to half way into the huge beams in numerous places and then forms were built and concrete was poured to fill the voids . The estimated $250,000.00 Restoration ended up costing $750,000.00 and our tax dollars paid for 90% of the entire restoration . The church building was 2-storiees tall with 14 ft. ceilings on both floors . A lot of the original building and material from the building had to be reused except for the brick and windows that were replaced with new more efficient modern material . I learned a lot about how the Federal Government wastes a lot of our tax dollars on Historical projects like this church that changed owners several years later and from what I can tell from driving by the church it has not been taken care of , what a waste of our tax dollars . The new concrete of today is far better than it was back in the 80s and new technology would have been great for the project . Y'all are doing a great job on that old house and I look forward to watching the rest of the build . Great video .. Keep'em coming .

  • @ronaldheit196

    I loved it when I read you were saving much of the wood and metal to repurpose it on other projects.
    It saddens me when perfectly good lumber gets mauled up and it ends up in a landfill unless it has lead and asbestos contamination.
    I built a shed, a camp cooking trailer on a jet ski trailer frame and other projects with repurposed pallets (the shed wall structure) and other wood I got for free.
    Even some of the hardware was repurposed materials.

    Good to see and your crew back at it! Always a pleasure watching you work. You weren't going to save that tree. I'm not one to take out trees on a whim. I think even if you hadn't invaded its root zone, it was very much gone already. They just would have had to remove it with house in the way. Great video. The rocks you dug out the basement were crazy. Esp the one in corner--wow.

    I really found this interesting..I enjoy watching things like this especially ones that are extremely well explained ..Your never too old to learn even if you may never need the information it’s just the joy of it..You all work as a great team and put a lot of pride in what your doing .I have subscribed so I can see how the house comes on..Thank you lads.Oh by the way I opened a house built in the turn of the century ,I think possibly 1905. We found too when we had work done on our home it also had a fairly deep chamber made of bricks under a lean to ..Its like a small covered area..This was used to collect water originally when the home was first built and there was at some stage a pump for the water there too..I am in the U.K. so we had them in older homes in areas that were not on the mains then as they were more Rural 😀

Its like a no nonsense no frills industrial strength version of this old house.
    Thank you I really appreciate it and I hope you are able to keep pumping this stuff out. Whats next a syndicated PBS series, a magazine? Just kidding, they would probably ruin it.

  • @yearight7956
    @yearight7956 Před 3 lety +1

    Nice work. But next time just go with your gut. Disconnect everything and use the machinery. Even if you need to bring in a couple extra sets of eyes to double check before you start tearing it down with the excavator to make sure everything is disconnected and safe. The time and physical work you’ll safe is HUGE. But credit to you for demoing all that by hand. I always found it interesting demoing older houses because of the funky ways they’d build and the crazy stuff we would find behind some walls or under some floors.

  • @bfd1565
    @bfd1565 Před 4 lety +11

    Cool project bro. I was watching closely to see how you were going to go about this. It took me back to the days of pinning up Simons forms. I received my education thru the Carpenters Union Apprenticeship. Those 4' forms are no joke by them selves. 6', 8' made me thankful Local 1000 or 17 Labors carried them to me. Climbing scaffolding with pouches full of oily pins. I don't miss those days at all. Brutal on the hands but part of the skills one needs to master his craft. Makeup panels and scribe panels need extra attention due to the enormous pressures. One also has to be extremely careful with the vibrator. You'll blow out a funky corner in a heartbeat. Not everyone can handle these kinda jobs. Most just specialize in one thing or another. Its takes God gifted skilled hands. Best wishes and ill be watching. Keep up the good work.

    Good video man, I haven’t seen any videos with people using what we called simons panel forms, when I used them we were pouring square 8x8, 11x11, 13x13, all 5’ tall footings and walls,but where we could we used double headed 16s nails with a piece of wire for anchoring the bottom, I’m pretty sure they have just as good if not better sheer strength than a tapcon and easier to get out when stripping the forms, just bend the panel down and u can get the nails to pull out with all the leverage of the panel, just sharing what I’ve used before, but good job so far on the addition! 👍👌👌
