Wow, why don't they let us use porous asphalt sheets in the U.S. lol? Phenomenal job though mindsparx

I also built my self a 3bedroom cabin in Philippines, 90% of labour was done by me plus furniture fixtures, but the best thing to do is having atleast one helper, saves a lot of time

Interesting. In UK. Back in the 80s I built my parents house, two and half storey. Self built, mainly two of us. We framed using Canadien timber and details. No scaffolding for the most part. Erecting the roof trusses a bit scary…centre first then work outwards. What I don’t understand here is why the walls are not sheathed before erecting. Otherwise we did more or less the same. No Engineer, as an Architectural student I did the calculations and amazed when they passed first time. Still possible, but not so easy now. It was all nails back then, and no nails gun. …very tedious.

Brilliant, mesmerizing work. The mind boggles. A real quality tradesman.

I would build the trusses differently. Those nail plates are not strong enough to hold the weight with the outwards stress and will sheer from the spreaders, instead Id do a birdsmouth so the trusses sit on and secured to the top plate . You are building the walls heavy duty using 2x6 or 2x8s.... why not make the trusses heavy duty as well by securing them properly?

This is one of my biggest dreams man, Building my own house and living with my future wife there..

Why didn't you put the plywood sheeting down on the floor joists , than you have a safe surface to walk on when making and raising walls ?

I don't know why people buy trailers and modular homes . Research books and the internet build yourself , it's fun rewarding family project.

I designed & built a 24’W x 40’L x 16’H non permanent garage 100% myself at 24 years old. I built 4 smaller 12’x20’ sheds and basically tied them together into a single structure. I made the floors strong enough to park cars on too. Cost me $8500 USD for materials… Insurance would only pay for $30k & estimates were well over that. I pocketed about $22k building it myself.🎉🎉🎉

No hot water?

Use your real fing voice, ugh bye

Nice one, thanks

Hey, thanks for simple but informative video, I'll be getting ventilation added to an old 16th century bavarian farm house, so it's valuable to have all kinds of insight to be aware of in initial planning

Why are you going to remove the plastic in the cellar please? Surely won't that change the airtight membrane envelope and how the ventilation system works? Thanks for another awesome video!

Excellent accomplishment sir!

Fick du tillstånd att bo utan OVK ?

Heat Recovery Ventilation is something I have been very curious about! Thank you very much for uploading this!

Welcome back! Question from the amateur - why you use metal pipes instead of plastic ones? Plastic are so much easier to cut and adjust. Thank you!

Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. Hello. Used same approach - built house and garage. Concrete + rebar foundation. Off-grid though. Bigger trouble with bed rock - need to remove about 20 cub meters of bedrock. Use wedge feathers and expanding Dexpan. Question. The gasoline rock drill you used ((Ep.1) Foundation at 7.20) - is it Pionjar? You started the drill so easy so elegant - using battery drill. Can you please show this electric drill start up close. I have two Pionjars - first one to start needs at least two three hundreds pulls. Second drill will start after 5 to ten pulls. I see there is a way to start the gas drill with battery drill.

Thank God Trump was elected! Great video!

Kul att se dig ingen 👍🏻

I am from Baltics with very similar climate to Sweden, and brick houses are the most popular type of private house here, but we also build wooden houses, also for Scandinavian market , I myself have delivered 100% ready built houses to Sweden on a truck, and very many disassembled houses that are constructed on site straight from the truck trailer. So a lot of Swedish people are actually living in premanufactured homes, but a bit better quality than American mobile homes. What also surprized me, that our old factories that used to build communist apartment blocks are now working at full capacity producing concrete panels for new apartment blocks in Stockholm. Its kinda funny that a lot of swedes don't even have a clue that there home was built in an old soviet factory.

Great friend. Team-work. Interesting to watch your "scissors" cutting method. I call those Tin Snips or just Snips. 😅

intressant att placera ventilatorn i källaren. Vanligen på vinden i Finland. Första videon man hör dig själv prata? Jag tror vårt ~160m² hus är dimensionerat med cirka 54 l/s men jag vet faktiskt inte vad myndighetskraven är. Är man två som sover rekommenderas 12l/s, en person 6. Min fru märkte kvickt att vi sover i fel rum när vi flyttade in :) Vi hade en expert och justerade så vi nu har 12 l/s i sovrummet för två, och 6 l/s i grannrummet som är gästrum nu när ungarna flugit.

Could be good to use insulated pipes if cooling is ever going to be an option. Nice video, appreciate

Love your videos. The house project was epic. Today I randomly decided to rewatch some of your videos and found out you have a new one.

Thank God Trump is back in office... now the fun begins!

I've missed these videos! Glad to see you on again. Different voice generator?

Great information 👌 Now I’ll try to do the same in my house 😃

Hej. Jätteintressant film. Kul att du delar med dig. Tänkte bara fråga om bygglovsritningarna på din hemsida. Hittar inget pris. Säljer du fortfarande dom?

3 people could frame this house, cut in the roof , flooring ,windows, doors and siding in 10 days.. 1 carpenter with 2 trainees. $10,000 Labor. If you are the Lead Carpenter, $5,000 labor. Your Sub-flooring should be able to handle some rain. Building a house by yourself is a tough job. Especially if you are working for a living.

inspiring

I get it, however i don't get why you don't just 'gamble' a couple of sheet of ply, they can travel job to job as a 'kick around' flooring Now my question is ... does your flooring 'flop in the wind' where is normally would sit on the outer plate

amazing, such an inspiration. Thanks for sharing.

It's very informative, however, I was told by several contractors that you need to do the plumbing/piping system before anything.

In u.s. I donot think the way you joined walls would be sufficient nor legal.

Great Job. Its very inspiring to see that there are still men like you with the energy and talent to do this. God Bless

This is great, but why on earth aren’t you sheeting the floor?? It’s not worth the risk to not sheet it.

Don't be stupid and use screws as they don't have good lateral shear strength compared to nails. Guy did some stuff right but a lot of stuff wrong.

Respect from Ireland. I’m a builder and follow very similar processes to you. Your work is as well thought out as it is executed. I’m on episode 8 and just thought I’d have a browse at an interesting construction show for a few minutes before I went to bed…luckily my wife has a loyal cat for company. Cheers

Don’t make the ruff too steep ! …there’s no reason for it !!

no ... ... Just no.

What a great job, and built to the highest quality, thank you for posting.

6:20 I don't know what you mean by a "spatula edge". I don't see anything in particular along the long side of the drywall sheet. What am I looking at?

I am from the US but lived in Germany for 7 years, and they didn't build with wood like this. I'm surprised to see wood used up north!

How did you route out a perfect rectangle for the hooks? Also, how did you connect the pieces of gutter together?

I notice you're 2 x 8 wall and 2 x 10 floors here in the states we're @ 16" centers you're looks like 24" and your trusses are @ 48".. what floor loading does that give per code?? Super interesting loved watching!! Great job!! Especially raising the trusses!!!

Didn't see any anchor bolts foundation through plate. Was that just me?

I'm curious if you're taking any extra measures to prevent fire in this home.

Must be nice having an electrician friend that can approve your installation. It's a pity he couldn't help you with installing the electricity for the rest of the house and you had to hire someone to do it instead😉
