But unfortunately they picked a bad state to do it in. Rising crime in the Detroit area, drug & human trafficking due to Michigan being near Canada and stay at home orders during pandemic. Terrible leadership in Michigan plus it gets cold and homes have high radon exposure. Imagine 5-10 years from now, God forbid, but with the rising crime and when virus comes back. #FloridaGang

[@bingbong5016]

I really love and appreciate the fact that you gave price on the things you did, such a small detail yet to me it makes a big difference and its something that I've never seen before!

[@alyssacamillejoycec.solive8686]

yes! love the way they presented the step by step with costs and times! great production!

[@forwardfollower2401]

That was fantastic! Thank you for sharing your build with us, it answers so many questions people may have about time frames, costs, the multitude of services required, to build a home. I hope this video blows up for your channel, the content, for me anyways, is priceless...

[@FarisandLisa]

Thank you so much for the kind words!! It was our goal to share the building process details so people could figure out if it’s for them!

[@tjtebbs9221]

No rebar in the walls or dowels from the footings into the walls, no vibration or consolidation. You need an inspector to see this.. thats huge. Did they backfill this? Time and pressure are going to show you what corners you cut. What did the inspector say? Or was he a guy the concrete crew brought in

[@Ricardo-ju1qg]

I'm one of the few who build in steelframe and wood frame in Brazil, I love the way you guys build, my dream is to be able to travel to your country one day and learn more. Beautiful job. congratulations!

Our minimum width for 2 story is 24”x 14” deep; 3-#4 rebar’s in the footings and 24” OC ties. But seems like your house is stamped and county/city approved so enjoy your house and fill it up with kids to raise your family. :)

Lisa and Farsi this is by far the one of the best build time-lapses I have seen! Great production 😀. Question: 1) how did you do your septic and 2) will you do kinda an overall Q& A about your experience?

Most of the costs listed in this video didn't seem too excessive (given the current market conditions), however I was shocked that it cost that much to have the well drilled. I might have expected a couple thousand, but $11k raised my eyebrows. Beautiful home. Thanks for sharing!

[@FarisandLisa]

The well is 125ft deep which is deeper than your average, which brought that price up! Wish it was lower along with the rest of the house haha! Glad you enjoyed the video! 😊

hi Faris and Lisa, its amazing to see how you guys build your own house. i am based out of canada, and looking to do same stuff. can you advise how you guys planned and selected contractors especially for wood and framing work. did you guys have any contacts that you might want to share?

[@Happy-zk3tv]

I don’t like engineered I-beams. They’re strong and cheap but are very weak to fires. I went to college for fire fighting and took a building construction class. Most construction companies don’t care how things do against fire and try to stick to the cheaper side of things like engineered I-Beams.

[@Happy-zk3tv]

Nice house tho and I like the floor plan

[@axldematt6747]

superb house, magnificent work of the builders, I hope you will be happy in it, I have a quick question, why do you use wood for your houses? I am French and in France we are more adept at reinforced concrete than wood, especially for load-bearing walls, so when France is much less subject to hurricanes or tornadoes, for example my house is made of reinforced concrete from the basement to the second floor

[@ProjectForms]

Did they use a concrete vibrator poker to condense and remove air bubbles when pouring for your basement walls? It didn't look like they did in the video.

As someone who lives in a country where we believe in bricks/stone and concrete let me ask this. What's the difference between this and ours in terms of cost, I won't ask about durability coz bricks, motor and concrete will definitely win.

[@codydavis1520]

[@truckandtea]

Thanks. Is the foundation cost including the basement walls ? And those cost with or without labor? I mean did all those guys contractors or yourself n family

[@ditherdather]

I poured basement walls as a young man. Stripping those forms, pulling them up to the top of the wall, turning around and then dropping them back into the inside of the basement was no joke. Hardest labor I've ever done.

[@FarisandLisa]

We can’t even imagine, those forms looked so heavy and especially in the heat!

[@ditherdather]

@FarisandLisa They're aluminum, but the 9' wall panels are still 120 to 130 lbs or more. They nail in those wooden boxes to create cutouts, pockets, and stepdowns for beams and things. If they nail through a "hat section" of the panel, then it leaves a hole and concrete seeps through those holes into the panel during subsequent pours, making them even heavier. After pulling 30 or 40 of them you feel wiped out.

[@ditherdather]

@FarisandLisa And pulling one up over a wall on a windy day can be terrifying. They're veritable parachutes in the wind. Take you right off the wall.

[@muhittingoc5097]

[@malikto1]

Only $333k for 2,800 plus basement? That is mind blowing. In NC this would be 2x-4x more expensive.
