Should have made a larger crawl space

Great vid, hate the Jesus stuff

Ok. Looks like lots of fun.

Before someone comments on it, we did put flashing tape on the pressure treated boards (you can slightly see the black outline) to avoid any corrosion on the metal roofing roofing from the preservatives.

I sub to people who love Jesus. God bless

I’m not a believer. But I’m pretty good at innovation. Don’t mind knowing that figuring things out is what brought on the Industrial Revolution. Our scientists do it every day. I was raised like you guys but I also spent years observing, getting the same results with many repeated ideas, and then drawing conclusions. I studied not to reinforce my early beliefs, but to find truth no matter where it led. Didn’t have any idea I would become atheist. That’s not a bad word. My morals didn’t change, I didn’t go looking to commit sins, and I sure didn’t start plotting against believers. I simply no longer believed. I’ve never cheated on my wife, love my dogs, and aim a good neighbor. Unless a conversation leads that way, they never know I’m not a believer. I hope you guys can learn that we atheists are exactly like you. Some good, some choosing to do bad things. We just no longer feel guilty all the time. That was a heavy load. I just stopped in to get ideas and build on my experience. Thanks. Good ideas.

I used chicken wire to hold the insulation. Bend them to a U shape (4"x15" or whatever x4") to fit each bay. Stape to the floor joists at the 4" area. You don't even have to work under the joists. Cheap too.

Giving credit to the Lord: amen and well done. Acts 12:23.

good idea

Using screen works great. Holds up insulation and keeps bugs and mice out.

Question: why not use foam insulation between the joists?

I love it when God reveals things to us. This is an amazing work around. I am trying to do a similar thing but I am concerned because we have a pier and beam shallow foundation of about 12 inches (less in most other spots). Trying to insulate for a colder climate, use a vapor barrier and keep the rodents out. Not quite sure how to do all this from above. If we close up the foundation by pinning the ledge and pouring a footing, we no longer have access for any plumbing repairs for the kitchen as there isn't enough room for a crawl space. Looking for ideas.

Praise Jesus! Cheers bro

Love the idea

🤤 Promo'SM

You David Savard!!!!!! LMBO I was singing with you!😂

i like the idea senor

shop tour!!

Itll be great to be taught by you again just under a different subject I hope to see more content soon.

Outstanding!

What I was looking for, thank you

shove your religion, typical idiot cant just keep to the topic, had to show he is an idiot who believes in god fantasies

Good place to put a moisture sensor near all those pex connectors. Looks good. Also I heard a great tip about mice eating pex for desert. Save up chili pepper packets from pizza delivery and mix in water bottle sprayer, this will need to be applied to pipes and prevents em from eating thru, most likely looking for water.

Its a bit late but insulation only works properly when all 6 surfaces are touching framing or osb etc. as you have not filled the cavity, air will circulate ( convection ) in the space and so will much reduce the R value, filling the cavity reduces air movement and thus allows the fibre glass to work up to spec. Its like down or most other products it works by trapping small pockets of air/ gas. Also ridged expanded polystyrene Would work better as it would form a thermal bridge, the foam board should be glued and screewed to the frae to stop air infiltration. Assuming there is a path for humidity to move upward through the floor there should be no mold issues

Blessings to you! I worked for modular home manufacturers for the last 30 years. We used to use garden netting. It costs $32.16 for about 1400 sq. ft. and does a good job. I hope this was helpful to you. God is GOOD!

Oh god! I couldn’t get past the first 5 seconds.

What about condensation

Great idea. God bless

I watch this on time...thank you!!! My house needs all the flooring to be replaced and i will be using this method like i said thank you!! God bless

Didn't realize it was within code to demolish a joist by drilling multiple holes through it.....

Why drill the beams for the pipework when there is a gap underneath where they could go?

Bad idea. The sheet does not allow any air flow to the timbers. You create a warm space above the insulation that can get condensation in that then has nowhere to go. Use an air permeable membrane, like the stuff they sell to put under roof tiles. put it higher, half way up the beam so that it is up touching the floor timber then it will not have a hot void.

That’s a great idea. Thank you for the tip

Hi David. I need to pick your brains about this. I wanna do the same. Aren't animals going to chew through the house wrap? Did you have any issues with this system so far?

Unless you are going to give the house to the poor you are not “ striving to fallow the example of Christ " it’s a slimy cheesy thing to do and a direct violation of the third commandment.

This will only work if you install vapour barrier under your subfloor. When cold air from below meets warm air from floor you will get condensation sitting on your house wrap causing mold.

Won't the critters still get up under your floor?

I instructed my contractors to use hardware cloth and tyvek, they of course did not and cheaped out by doing only tyvek. I was not aware until just recently when I saw 👀 my insulation hanging down. I had to stick my phone under the house and make a video to even see it as my clearance is only 6 inches (don’t even get me started on that). After spending $500-600 on brand new R30….Guess what? Critters sure enough have pulled parts of it down, made themselves a home and now I’m having to take out the subfloor and redo this whole mess! USE HARDWARE CLOTH! It’s easy to do it from the top! You can still do the tyvek and that will help work as a barrier that also will allow the insulation to breathe. Or just use rigid foam! Either way, please do not do this without something protecting it from being pulled down! You’ll regret it, more than you even know.

Praise God !! Great idea .. I also constantly pray for guidance whilst working especially working on my own when an extra hand is required .. the Lord has always inspired me and led me like this. Bless you sir Our God is a good good God Put your trust in him and you will have PEACE

I know it’s a pain but I would have used staples and put hardware cloth under that house wrap so no mice get into it and you’re done with it. And from past jobs, I would use one whole piece of pex without cuts in it so no chance of a leak.

But isn't that a moisture barrier ?? A moisture barrier is to be used under the floor itself, which allows the insulation to breath. (you never moisture barrier the outer edge (cold edge) of an insulated area) By putting moisture barrier on the bottom - you are inviting moisture to form and saturate your insulation. Might look neat and clean - but it's going to promote rotting / mold, along with inviting rodents to chew through it to enter the "plushy" insulation. This will work for a year or two before you notice molding and critter infestation . The proper way would have been to line the bottom with foam board all the way across. It would not only stop the moisture worries, but rodents tend to avoid foam board and as a triple advantage - - By covering the bottoms of the floor joists - you would be eliminating thermal bridge loss through the joists. Top off a great job with the foil lined "bubble wrap" between the top of your floor joists and the top floor covering. Bridging would be completely blocked and the foil lined bubble wrap serves as the moisture barrier which you SHOUL apply on the area facing the warmed / cooled area (not the outdoor area Noce Idea - Just too bad you created more headaches for yourself down the road

Use chicken mesh 😂

horrible... need ridged insulation. if you get water in it you have to rip it all up

And when you get water leak all your insulation including wood will be destroyed. Praise the lord, let’s instal hard styrofoam insulation above the water lines. God bless you all

Brain washed by lord house

Don’t you run the risk of the water lines leaking and the house wrap holding it in creating a mold issue?

My favourite part of the video is that you start out by saying you credit every good idea to the Lord I can’t agree with you more brother

How does the timber breath? Dry rot here we come... good lord!!

I too thank you for revealing this tip, but I was wondering about the UV exposure deteriorating the wrap.
