Good stuff as always man! I look forward to seeing the full video where you set the posts for the front porch. Are you going to mill some hardwood decking for the deck after you get your walls sheathed and flashed and such? If you do put down the deckboards, my pro tip is don’t snap your lines and cut the ends straight until the house is almost completely done. That way the decking will do most of its shrinking and contracting by the time you cut the boards, and you wont end up with the jagged edges that happen a lot on decks. I started construction on my house this past week. I excavated for the crawlspace and hopefully will start laying some block soon, and will try and start putting out some videos on it. Good work man!!

Thanks for the tips! I’m actually using 2x6s. True to form they were free! Not my first choice, but after some sealer they should be good for many years. I just finished editing my latest video raising the porch posts. Will be live on Friday evening. Thanks for the kind words! Good luck with your build.

Be careful where you use poplar. It warps worse than any other wood I've worked with.
@bespokebudgetbuildsКүн бұрын
The stuff I have is kiln dried and has been stored for 15 years. I’ll put the meter on it to make sure it’s stable, but I’ve had pretty good luck with poplar in the past.

Harbor Freight product means "made in China". Sorry, anything made in China, I have found to be junk. I also think China is our enemy and I won't send any of my money to an enemy of the United States.

For sure! I have a lot of white oak to mill up for beams, in this bedroom and elsewhere. Look for that in a future video.
@BradyBOSSАй бұрын
This is awesome to see. I am doing a small, extreme budget build myself. I know you said you thought people would give you crap for not having beams, but I think that technically you do. I know they are used on decks a lot around here, but what you have is called a flush beam, as opposed to a drop beam, which is having the beam under the floor system. Nice job man, keep it up!!
@bespokebudgetbuildsАй бұрын
Thanks for the kind words! Do you have a channel? I’d love to check it out. The flush beam system works fine, however I am going to add some two by 12s to work is both lateral support and extra “beam“ material. I haven’t done any of that yet because I just acquired the two by 12s lol. If you’re building like I am you probably understand that dynamic. I think that’s probably the hardest part about this is just the timing of finding materials for a workable price.
@BradyBOSSАй бұрын
@@bespokebudgetbuilds I may end up posting some of the build here on youtube, I think it’s cool to document with the cost of housing right now. You can definitely build a house affordably if you learn to do it yourself. I’m building on a crawlspace as per Ohio code, but I know soils in other places allow for pier and beam. I salute you finding materials that way! Unfortunately around here, there isn’t many good opportunities for secondhand materials, but I keep my eyes open!! I look forward to the rest of the series man!!

Fantastic!! Thanks for showing and sharing the project your working on. This is the first video that shows how a something can be done by using limited tools. Most videos show full shops with super expensive tools. I'm happy for them but a lot us don't have the money. You did a great job!!!! Your cabinets fantastic guy and your cabinets will be well built and look beautiful.
@bespokebudgetbuilds2 ай бұрын
Thanks for the kind words. I’m with you, you don’t need much to build, I wish more people would understand that and just do the best they can with what they have! Right now, I pull everything out of a tool trailer and work when the weather is good, and it’s surprising what I’m able to build. This channel is all about trying to inspire people to make it happen regardless of your limitations.
