You should be using Sanitary-T's as they make it easier to access with a plumber's snake.

i wish i could work that fast.... ha

lol what not to do.

Just a suggestion: if you are mixing your own concrete, wet the wheelbarrow before dumping in the concrete. It is not a big deal but does make cleanup easier.

If I were to build another cabin it would be 3 feet off of the ground so I could install an insulated skirt around the base. When erecting the walls I would use a double bottom plate or 2 , 2x4's or 6's sitting on the floor decking. Then I would add 1 inch, of R5, 4x8 rigid foam board topped off with 1/2 inch plywood (then add finished floor). This would create a wonderful insulated floor without any concern of mice destruction, not to mention the great thermal break. Just think, if you sandwich or add up all of the 2x floor joists together that make up a 24x24 cabin floor system you would roughly 30" x 24' of uninsulated space not to mention the massive thermal bridging of cold from the outside, in. Now this system would let enough heat through the floor to keep any underneath water/drain pipes from freezing while keeping your feet nice and warm. Never forget that most of us heat our cabins with a wood stove and we often have to open a window.

What a great video, thank you for sharing, i learned a lot of things to consider on for my project! Keep up!

You are doing a great job. 👏🏻

I ended up using foam board to make these baffles, nothing on the market is very good unless you pay for smartbaffles. every product was either flimsy or left an area of the roof deck unventilated, some of the snap in half ones for 16 on center spacing only covered 12" of the 14 1/2" space

I am a mechanical engineer and building myself the cabin and this was video has saved me a lot of money and time, thank you for your help!

I don't understand why you have baffles running all the way to the peak. Any water vapor that gets through the insulation has nowhere to go except to condense on the baffles.

I swear you went through every obstacle that i will have too and you just keep on moving and push through! This is great! I have been watching a few of your videos so i had to get Subscribed and will continue to watch more of your episodes!

Why did you leave space between the floor boards?

Épisode 72 ! :)

Looks great!

Mold will eat the paper

I have done alot of plumbing with polyethylene tubing. One thing ive learned with barbed fittings is to brush some Vaseline on the barbs, and lightly torch the inside of the tube, works like magic

You attached the dryer vent pipe to the vent BACKWARDS

You mentioned in one of your videos which generator you were using to build your cabin. Can't remember the name but wanted to look at maybe getting one. Can you give the name of the generator please. Thank you.

Don't use spray foam. It leads to condensation in the wood and rot

Wow! Well done!

This is one expensive project! 😮

Hello. I like your attention to detail. Did you consider adding full sheets of foam insulation ON TOP of your subfloor followed by another layer of plywood, instead of installing batt insulation between the floor joists? This would eliminate thermal bridging through the floor joists and would be far easier I think.

Lucky you're young. I'm 72. All of that arm movement would take me so long, I'd never finish. Good job!

Just use standard wall jacks.

I knew when you broke out that Dremel my OCD was going to be satisfied.😂 All jokes aside, That's some nice looking stone work.

thanks for the informative video. Another video showing the results after installing the spin down sediment filer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for taking the time.

It’s just as easy to put the liner in and cut it in place.

He definitely shows you where you can go from overkill into the waste of money/time just by not knowing what to do or what to use and where to use it, but.. there is sometimes when "just enough" does seem to actually work for us..

The problem isn't the filters, it's the owner not understanding how filters work.

You can not, can tell if it's clogged by eye. Pressure drop measured by guages is the only way.

It helps to install ceiling boards to yell Tabarnak!

Brother this video is so fantastic, great work!

Now that's a pretty amazing video and cabin build 😀

This series is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks, and great job man

Hopefully your windows will be ok, seeing as normally you'd want to leave a gap between the trim and the window for expansion, seeing as expansion from the trim can put pressure on your windows.

Most inspectors are there to help you, and most of them are kind and reasonable, especially if they see that you're willing to listen and to take advice without resisting. Many inspectors will even pass you even if you did something wrong as long as you tell them you'll get it fixed, but that's probly more likely if you're a professional and the fixes are easy. All in all you didn't have any hard or expensive fixes to make so as a DIYer you did pretty well all things considered!

16:35... that hammer action with a level had me dying!!! 🤣😂

As a general contractor watching this series is very entertaining. Yes this series is filled with many mistakes, but your persistence and bravery is to be admired. Nice work!

I love how you said 16" on center and then went to mark it after 16" not on center :P

I'm glad you found out right away that using a router with 1 hand isn't a wise idea. If you tried that on some expensive material it could have been a big waste.

This was some butt-clenching content! LOL! 😅

This is one of the most REALISTIC videos of a true DIYer ever! I think everyone that has dealt with something they haven’t done before like electrical or plumbing can understand that discomfort feeling you shared when you first turn on the water 🚿 and then all those crazy noises

I'm so happy for you for getting that laser level. I've had one for ages and it's worth it's weight in gold. During many of the past episodes, I was hurting for you and wanting to holler through time to suggest getting one. Bravo! You're doing an amazing job.

I think you did/ are doing an awesome job. I really appreciate the wealth of information and transparency throughout the process. I think you'll be credited with saving lots of people lots of headaches and frustrations in the future. Best of luck in all you do.

sloping vent pipe for moisture ?,,thats a new one sorry im not taking advise from a rookie that gets his knowledge off Y T

Looks great Tristan!

Wow, excellent video and work! I You are channeling the true pioneer spirit that not only built this country, but the whole world. I'm a little hesitant to make suggestions as, at this writing, you've already completed the entire project and have probably figure it all out yourself, but for those that watch the videos later, and might want to do it their selves, here's a couple of things at this point. 1. get or build a couple of saw horses and a piece of plywood to create yourself a workbench of some sort. Easier on the back than using your dolly. Additionally, you could quickly bolt a small bench top vise to the piece of plywood to help hold stuff. 2. Couldn't really tell from the video but cutting the rebar with a grinder is a great idea. I would choose a thin kerf resin-fiber cutting wheel to make the job go as fast as possible. It faster than using a thicker (thickness, not diameter) cutting wheel. 3. for the small squares of rebar that you were using small pieces and tying together to make a square, I'd rig up a jig that would allow you to bend the rebar and make the small squares out of a single piece of rebar bent into a square. Much better than tiny, free-floating pieces inside the concrete. 4. One of the other comments about round holes so you can rent/use an auger is a great time saving idea.

Did you have to remove the winch handle to let the wall pass the winch? It seems that the top plate would get in the way of cranking. Thanks for the video...

It looks fantastic

The vast majority of beam sagging occurs on older houses that used undersized dimensional lumber. I don't there are many roofs being built like that these days. LVLs are always used and you are not the only one who used the Forte program.
