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!!

Be careful where you use poplar. It warps worse than any other wood I've worked with.

Just found the channel! Looking forward to watching all the videos you have so far.

Hopefully it works again!

Great, thanks the lousy directions would make it hard, your video really helps.

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.

is it compatible with mini excavator attachments?

A lot of guys do this. Lay it up and scribe instead of doing the math on everything. As long as it is sound and bearing.

I like the bedroom ceiling. It will make them look bigger.

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!!

Yes! Walls going up I’m excited.

This is genius!

Yeah! You are making some good progress.

Good progress, looking forward to seeing the framing start.

The chainsaw struggle is real😂

Are you adjusting the grade any around the house?

I like the concept of building to the landscape instead of coming in and chopping everything down. I hate new neighborhoods that do that, not a tree to be seen that is native.

I can’t wait to see the progress. Love the idea of going low budget and working for things instead of buying it all.

I like the bare budget setup of this.

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.

Love the tip! Thanks my man😊

I've found that any #8 1 1/4 screw will work just fine. I have the original kreg jig that is all metal. The future is definitely going with dominos.

I have struggled with this, and other methods for making drawers too, keep it up, it makes more sense the more you do. Good job.

Sorry for the audio issues, the phone I am using to film this had a problem that I’ve since figured out a workaround for.

Really looking forward to this series! Definitely would like to see updated cost breakdowns as you go along through the video.

Definitely an option. Most box stores will also cut the wood for you.

Framing hammer.

I'll be watching this series! Came up on my recommended!

claw hammer anyone???

Rusty nails on the ground where kchildren walk might be a bad idea . . . just sayn'

Don't take this wrong, but there's this tool called a hammer. It works great

🤤
