Building a Timber Frame House in 5 Days (Start to Finish)

[@bikeaddict8475]

So many negative comments the past couple days and you've been working on a 45 minute video! So crazy Alyssa! Thank you for all your work!

[@q3interactive665]

I seriously don't know what I'll do when you guys move in, it has become part of my daily routine to watch your progress since accidentally stumbling across your channel months ago. You are the "Truman show" of DIY home building. This week has felt super gratifying for me too somehow watching it all come together. Jesse said it...the Power of Community! To all who helped, you were an inspiration and a blessing to watch. Great filming, Levi! History made.

[@darrenstiff5161]

Whoa what an achievement. I'm a paramedic in the UK and your video came out as I was just going to work. I have had to wait 14 hrs to watch this!!! In future please time your releases around my shift patterns better, the wait was killing me. Well done guys, now the work begins

[@chrissyscurlycrown2043]

I remember when you guys started KZbin you sold your car and and bought a small camper to live in now look at you guys almost 300,000 subscribers I'm so proud 👍love you guys y'all have came a long way😊👏👏👏🏡

[@MrSaltwaterReef]

We started at "GIRL Sells BRAND NEW CAR to START a HOMESTEAD", watched you guys climbing on corrugated rooftops, we were saddened when you suddenly had only one cat, scratched our heads when you bought a tractor and then when you upgraded your mill. You (and we) have come so far. Thank you for allowing us to share your adventure ~ living vicariously through your efforts and hard work. So happy we never got to see the cursing ~ but only the hugs ! You have touched so many lives, it's incredible. And you've surrounded yourselves with some of the most AWESOME folks, good job all. I've never seen a home assembled with love.... and the blessing of erecting the timbers in the snow ~ magical!

[@josepherwin5122]

A lot of folks gave you guys a really hard time about this video not coming faster. They might not realize how much work goes into editing a 15 minute video, but the time it takes to edit a 45 minute long film like this is incredible. Very well done. Beautifully filmed, lovingly presented, and the 'money shots' at the end are fantastic! The sunset and the drone pull-away were dramatic and beautiful!

[@McAVITYourWay.]

Well said Joseph :)

[@danielfay]

Well said

[@williammann7247]

Allyssa, I remember editing film four decades ago and threading a Movieola machine to review the scenes. When it took you three days to put this together, I knew it would be good and you did not disappoint. I am impressed with your editing skill and artistry. I haven't been able to get my wife interested in your videos but this just migt do it. Levi's comment about the snow making it magical was spot on. Exellent work.

[@akirtz8217]

I wish I could like this video 100 times. Thanks shelter people for all your hard work. Thanks Levi for filming. Thank you to the students for spending your time and money help making this a reality. Thank you Jessie and Alyssa for sharing your journey.

[@RCKenpilot]

This awesome edit was worth the wait which seemed like forever- but I cheated and spyed the finished frame on instagram. I had chills while watching this, and some tears of joy for you both. You have worked so hard and you epitomize the American work ethic. Your heart and soul is in sight thru this video and every video on your channel. Beautiful home for two beautiful people. Bravo! Now the work continues- can’t wait to see the finished product!!!

[@juliehiestand8253]

Alyssa, I cannot get over how happy you look during this episode. You are just b e a m i n g and smiling from ear-to-ear. You must feel a huge accomplishment when you look at your frame. How neat and special for you guys to be able to do this

[@waiakalulu3501]

I feel like Levi was the moral conscious of this series. It's really hard to draw people into conversation with the camera going. He did a fantastic job getting people to engage with the KZbin audience and gave the participants their authentic voice, which is incredibly difficult to do. Bravo Levi!!

[@KJD1984]

Waiakalulu Levi seems like such a cool dude!

[@dballard8660]

Yes. Levi is an experienced professional.

[@Levi_Allen]

Thank you so much for the kind words. That was the goal from the start, so its a sigh of relief that it has been received as well as it has. - Levi

[@KJD1984]

Hey Levi, Great camera work mate. You have gained a new subscriber from Australia! Have a great Xmas!

[@Levi_Allen]

Awesome! great to have you Keith

[@michaelmeek757]

The framework looks great. We all need a video showing how the frame is secured to the garage. Keep up the good work. Hope you have a merry Christmas.

[@tolks9575]

the filming by Levi was some of the best I have ever seen , so great to finally get to see this video

[@arkycadd]

I haven't ever commented on any of your video's, because an old veteran from Alaska probably can't add much, but I have to say good job guys, keep up the good work.

[@tommathews3964]

Epic Episode! Drone footage was killer! The snow added so much! Those folks from The Shelter Institute are true professionals. I love seeing a "team" work together. You can tell they have quite a bit of experience and just operate so efficiently together.

[@act.13.41]

10 minutes in and I can only imagine how much time was spent on the editing. An amazing job!

[@youngblack253]

I've been watching for a year, and this video has been beyond satisfying. I cheated and checked the structure out on Facebook, but seeing it in action is a completely different sensation. Thanks for sharing this guys. All you need to do now is dry it in.

[@_RadioMadeEasy]

My wife and I have been watching all along, so amazing and inspirational to watch this come to fruition! Congratulations and job well done to all!

[@jonbigman9723]

I want to say congratulations on the raising of your new home. I am so happy for you. I wish I could do as such for my family but we are pretty much all disabled. Zero chance of that happening. I have watched you for a while now and I really enjoy seeing your efforts to make a home for your family. The videos are top notch and shot with an artistic flow. Thanks for letting me watch your progress and I pray your home will stay safe and secure for the rest of your lives.

[@DeltaDonnaLynn]

This one was more than worth the wait! I am so stoked for you both, and everyone else that was involved. Levi was great, and if you have another epic chunk of major building work, I'm sure we'd all be glad to see him come back and film some more. Alyssa, your editing is magical!

[@MLFProp]

Hey guys. No one is making these naysayers watch your channel. Pay no attention to them. I love your channel and the opportunity to watch your journey. As a retired architect, I just loved the workshop footage and watching noobies learn and develop into craftsmen. Of course, we didn't see all of Levi's footage, but it all seemed to go very well and the timbers appeared to fit very well. I will make the comment that the floor joist dropped into their pockets loosely, but maybe that's the way that they're designed. My biggest question is on how the posts are anchored to the floor structure. The Timber Institute is a quality group of people and obviously great teachers.

[@thelightningmanoz]

Guys I just have to say that I watch a lot of videos on KZbin and all over the internet, and this video is by far the best I have ever seen. It's not often I can sit through a 46 minute video of something on KZbin, but I thoroughly enjoyed every second of this one. Congrats to all those involved, and mother nature just added that final touch to make the day even more magical. I Have been following your journey since the video about the trenching of the water line, and I am looking forward to watching you continue your journey. Shane from Australia

[@haroldbevins393]

Wow, this was like coming to the end of a great book and you want it to continue because you feel as if you became a part of the story itself... That is one awesome building, and I can hardly wait to see more of what you are going to be doing to finish it, I hope you are planning to continue videoing it.. Levi, you did a wonderful job of capturing it all on camera(almost said film, haha), but these videos will show this building for years to come.. Great work everyone involved....

[@rickrutledge7361]

Wow! Raising my morning coffee mug to everyone involved! Especially to Alyssa and Jesse for being “really good talkers” and convincing the Shelter people to teach and build at their location. Amazing project! Beautiful video and final edit!!

[@nelsonledoux4257]

Awesome job! When you added in the music with the drone shots as it was going up, (musician here) as the French horns started in to the strings section ostinato... OMG! Beyond goosebumps. I'm gonna' go watch it again!

[@richardbrooks3569]

I shed tears of joy for you. I never saw how the posts were attached to the floor. Can someone enlighten me?

[@skizzysmith]

With all the right/wrongs and good/bads and should have done this/that, i don't care a gnats toe, this is wonderful, a man and wife did this, and everyone should acknowledge it.

[@kellierebkowec5483]

Levi you have done a magnificient job with the camera work here

[@Mastermindny83]

Finally!!! You can see the shape of your future home. Just don't let anything get in your way. Things will get even harder, finishing touches will take 10 times longer than you could ever imagine, but stay focused, and like the comments below say...now you are 300k strong and growing...best of luck!!!

[@dudenoone1712]

90/10 rule. 90% of the work takes 10% of the time and effort. 10%... you get it.

[@55ATA3]

I would like to thank all of the people from The Shelter Institute and all of the people who came to the classes to help build your frame for letting you film them. Levi, all I can say is you have a gift and it shows. This shows that more people are willing to build a better life for all of us. Congrats on a great frame to build your home in....

[@xysix2548]

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL STRUCTURE!!! My favorite part of the entire video was the way you choreographed and coordinated the background music with the actual operations of the timber raising. Those two things created the ultimate thrill of the triumph not only at the completion but all the way through it.

[@vickymotley929]

my internet connection was turned off because of no money. I had to walk all,the way to McDonald's so I could watch this, I have been waiting for ever to,see this. I know I am going to cry at the,end. live the dream you guys

[@toothlessgrin04]

Vicky Motley THATS DEDICATION!🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@Dramaqueensara]

I have been following Jesse and Alyssa for a while now, and I am full of admiration for what they have achieved. I am also quite shocked at the snotty comments, which I imagine come from jealousy. Wow! You lot in the USA like to pull each other down! I don’t think it matters what the source of their income is. Good for them for having the initiative to tap sources of revenue like social media. The videos are high quality and the editing is superb. I have been particularly enjoying the narrations that have been used recently. I also love the time-lapses and the drone footage! In terms of the house build, it has been so many long days, the amount of work you have put in is phenomenal. Looking forward to the next stage. Keep the faith!

[@50shadesofgreen]

that drone footage of the timber frame and you and the team, standing in your new timber frame house was just surreal !! well done guys, amazing !!

[@legin3115]

i am so happy for you both to finally get your frame up it was an amazing experience to watch the raising and what a wonderful day starting with snow and ending with sunshine ......all the amazing people who came together to make your dream come true and pass on the skills so they can move forward with their own projects........ congrats from Perth Western Australia

[@thechosenrace]

This encourages me to know that when you start with nothing other than massive financial resources, expensive machinery, skilled labor, dozens of workers and "amazing" video titles, anything can be achieved!

[@grimreaper3526]

yep...and there are so many starving, suffering people in the world

[@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin]

Don't forget you can charge people $400 to watch.

[@zsoltberes6324]

And had other people build everything for them, except for some digging I guess? Free labor is awesome huh. It's disappointing that after all this time and planning, the house is built by other people. Didn't see them install a single post.

[@bigtom2062]

OMG, some of you folks amaze me. If you can not say something nice, do not say anything. Awesome job to an awesome couple...

[@Kittygh]

Wow! Alyssa! You have outdone yourself. No wonder it took all week to edit this piece together. Its awesome. And I cant help but praise Levi. His cinematography is beautiful. You two made a wonderful team. Jesse, you and Alyssa have created magic. Its been a joy watching you create your new life in Idaho. I cant wait to watch the rest of your story. Happy Holidays to you.

[@Jere616]

Wonderful video and wonderfully done. Alyssa's editing skills have grown to rival the professionals.

[@wrenw7951]

As soon as I got the notification and read the title I could not wait for lunch to watch this video! So excited!

[@National757]

Well, it's about time! Been anxiously awaiting this video! Awesome, awesome, awesome! Very exciting to see the frame up! You two must be so happy! Incredible job by all! Unbelievable craftsmanship! Almost like an art form! I bet the Shelter Institute folks had no idea what they got themselves into! Good thing you talked them into the project before they figured it out! ;)

[@AndyChesterton]

It was well worth the wait for this video - great job!

[@MrBpMaster]

In a word ... WoW! ... Kudos to all the crew. It is quite something to hit a milestone such as this. Congratulations guys!!!, and keep on going ... Great work on the camera work Levi (already subscribed to your channel.), editing is great, and of course all the people behind the scenes. I was frustrated waiting for this video to come out, however I held my complaining. Now that I have seen the final product, I realize that nothing good comes easy or fast. Congratulations again !!

[@cheetobandito7320]

Dang! I can't send my weird Uncle Harry to you for Christmas LOL. Seriously, I am so happy for you both. This is an amazing video. I found myself grinning from ear to ear and crying happy tears for you at the same time. Merry Christmas you two!!!!

[@christiedecker2724]

And now, to the next chapter...enclosing and finishing it off. Blessings on your new home, blessings on each one that took part in any and every way. By next year, hopefully, you will be living inside that, thinking of each scarf joint, each screw, each dowel...and being so very thankful...and I thank you for letting me watch, letting all of us watch. It is grand to be part of a cheering section for you.

[@heidim6468]

My husband and I feel like it was the best Christmas Gift because we felt a part of the house like so many others. Thank everyone for there help and videos of this beautiful house raising. We just loved it and we can't wait to see what's next.....

[@martinsohlberg7521]

Screw all the haters! This was worth the wait! Thanks guys!

[@fjeinca]

If I hadn’t seen the evolution in stages, I wouldn’t believe such a young couple could do it. Well done, love the drone shots, too.

[@TheFritz423]

Congratulations! Very satisfying to watch. I am now motivated to build that timber frame birdhouse I've been wanting.

[@thebillbaker4793]

This leaves you without words. It was amazing I am so glad I stumbled across your channel. You are blessed and the people that you know have blessed you.

[@lonnielenox1130]

The house looks awesome!!! Everyone involved did a great job. I don't normally post on many videos, but I have been watching your channel for over a year now and to see the growth that you two have gone through with your property has been amazing. Great job!!!

[@yayomi7615]

I am curious how the beams are sitting on the radiant subfloor. Can you show us that detail when the snow is thawed out?

[@TheoEkelmans]

It's *awesome* to see that giant 3D jigsaw puzzel to come together in one day after months of preparation :) I'm really looking forward to see the end result !

[@cowbell247]

Words can not express how my family feels watching your journey this far from a few years ago and how it is changing lives forever! Love the footage and the way it came together in a beautiful way! I used to build Scandinavian scribe fit log homes in my home state of Maine with my dad and family and know first hand the power that community has on things like this, and how awesome it feels to be able to build such incredible structures using live logs!! Keep up the awesome videos you cool kats!! Love it!!!

[@corkey05]

You two wear your pride amazingly well - Anyone with this kind of accomplishment would too! Congratulations!

[@mechanicmike2858]

At the first of this video I was like .. gosh 46 min long.. but it didn't seem like 10 minutes went buy .. Awesome job On the video!!!!

[@momg49]

This was a long time coming and it didn't disappoint. Wonderful. Levy did such a great job filming and picked the right musical score. I have to give you guys a whole lot of credit. Take some time off and rest. You deserve it. PS - The house looks amazing.

[@homesteadingneeneeof5873]

Awesome job Levi. The editing was amazing thru the entire workshop to build your amazing home. Contrasts you've come a long way. I've watched you from day one. Love your story. I would have built the hot tub first as well. Merry Christmas to you all. Looking forward to more videos as you close In you beautiful wonderland in the snow. Take care, God bless

[@JasonSmith-vg9ws]

All I can say is AWESOME! I've been waiting for this video for such a long time. Keep it up and stay safe!

[@josephsfields]

I am so proud of all of you (all ya'll). It's wonderful to watch the community and cooperation of people make it happen. Props to Levi for a awesome job, very well done.

[@pauljames7019]

Shout out to Levi the camera guy excellent video.

[@CemlynJones1952]

Absolutely fabulous. The safety sallies will be in full voice over the Shelter guys standing up there with no harness but they know what they are doing. I can't imagine what it must have been like for you two to actually see the timbers get raised and put together. Long journey still to go of course and I for one can't wait to see that journey unfold.

[@splbusiness1960]

Cemlyn Jones actually, harnsses and rigging on construction of the first floor increase falls and injury. The same cannot be said for gables and second story construction.

[@JamesYoung61]

A long wait but well worth it, it was inspired to get Levi on-board to help with the filming and he did a great job of helping to tell the story and I am looking forward to seeing the next stage.

[@budprine1591]

WOW! I imagined part way through the video this scene. "The engineer, high on a beam walking from one end to the other. Carrying a sledge hammer trying to maintain his balance with a twenty foot drop below and his cell phone rings." "A future Jesse asks him if 'it matters which end of his new carpenters pencil gets sharpened first'? " Congratulations to both of you.

[@randallshular5362]

O M G !! That wat totally worth the wait. Every piece of wood fit together like a ornate puzzle. All I can say is D A M that was great !

[@bpOutdoors]

A year + or so ago we stumbled onto this channel because we were researching portable canvas buildings for weather protection. Recall: ShelterLogic Garage in a Box Review"?? We subscribed back then and we are glad we did.... Reflecting on what we have seen looking in on this couple from time to time and knowing what was on the property when they first started.... YES - this story is amazing!!!! Great Job! Watching the hard work from a couple who truly work like a team is inspiring and refreshing. Thanks for sharing so much of your life experiences with us - the successful times and the challenging times! Keep up the great work!!!

[@yvesjolicoeur747]

OMG, totally awesome!!! The craftsmanship in the construction, the videography and the montage are truly amazing. And what a team! I love that shot of the entire team standing on the frame.....what a feeling it must be to have accomplished so much and have made so many friends in the process. The Shelter Institute team ROCKS!!! Congratulations to all of you ;)

[@Clipbrd]

How is the bottom of the new frame work secured to the top of the garage, on the warm board ?? I didn't see how that was done..

[@nic_the_aged_woodworker]

Thank you for sharing such a huge step in your journey. Levi has out done himself and Alyssa has produced an incredible video. It has been frustrating having to wait but I understand the complexity of drawing multiple video sources together, especially when you didn't shoot a lot of the film yourself

[@Levi_Allen]

What an incredible day that was to finish off an amazing week! Thanks for having me Jesse and Alyssa. And thanks to the whole PLFL audience for putting up with me 😂 If you have any video questions let me know below and I’ll do my best to answer promptly.

[@toothlessgrin04]

Leftcoast you were a blast to have Levi. Thanks for making me famous 😂🤣🤣🤣 -Bob

[@Levi_Allen]

Cheers Bob! Would love to run into you sometime in California.

[@toothlessgrin04]

That would be a blast Levi. Give me a call if you're in so cal

[@billblack7603]

Great camera work overall. Levi was great. The drone footage was epic.

[@richardhjones5576]

WOW WOW WOW WHAT AN INCREDIBLE 5 DAYS the words I heard from Jess this is community really say it all. Well done.

[@dvewilkins6395]

Wow! What a great video. I had tears in my eyes at the end and still do!! Congratulations on the Shelter week success and the beautiful frame you have. Just WOW!

[@numbercrow6042]

So happy for you two. Really amazing story so far. Keep it Up!!!

[@chrischristenson4547]

a clear celebration of community and achievement this is a jewel of a video Waiting for it was hard It WAS worth the wait to get such a masterpiece of photography and editing/production The Erection was indeed amazing to watch Thank you for a great journey

[@GUILLERMO.NESPOlO]

Haw do u attach the timber frame to the garage ?

[@loviedebiasio8864]

*So very cool. All this time gone by and now you have this BEAUTIFUL thing. So awesome*

[@stgray35]

The frame looks awesome, the people that helped to build it were fantastic, Jesse and Alissa must be very proud at what they have achieved so far, great community spirit :)

[@markwinblad5867]

How are the posts secured to the lower walls?

[@rockinrobnw]

That was amazing. Watching the timber frame go up, the filming, the drone shots, the music, the editing, the snow, the happy faces, all of this video was superb. Well worth the wait. Alyssa and Jesse are chock full of talent. Levi too of course. The Shelter people were impressive. They were so calm up there! Thank you so much for sharing your journey up to this point. I look forward to seeing more of your videos. I feel so invested and I don't even know you! kisses to Bugaboo ;)

[@Betty1Q]

OK!! I Cried!!! I Clapped my hands!!! So very happy for you both!!! Hugs!!!!

[@TheForeverHomestead]

Great video guys. House looks amazing. Jessica and I were just saying how much we enjoyed our class and the the team work involved. Also we miss the Shelter Crew. Look forward to seeing the house closed in. We dont even start putting our frame up until April.

[@Dormices]

The branch/tree ceremony is known as 'Topping out' in the UK. It dates back centuries and was thought to appease the tree spirits after having cut down many trees to construct the house. Interesting; it still goes on in many countries.

[@throughmyeyesnow]

I think a lot of folks out there who have made negative comments are simply jealous. It's much easier to hate than to admit you're not capable of achieving half of what Jesse and Alyssa have achieved. I can't think of a more hard working couple, not just on KZbin. Everything they've done has been because they're smart, intelligent and willing to learn how to do stuff. Not to mention the incredible amount of work it takes to put the videos together. Hats off to you guys! You're an inspiration.

[@humblewarrior6585]

It doesnt take much to inspire you does it "woman" ??? Their bank account is an inspiration to you huh ??? Be real Okie Dokie ???

[@Litzbitz]

THAT SO BEAUTIFUL TO WATCH AFTER ALL THESE MONTH OF FOLLOWING THIS WONDERFUL STORY. IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL I CRIED THROUGH MOST OF IT.. THEY WERE JOYFUL TEARS. I AM SO HAPPY FOR BOTH OF YOU. IT WAS LIKE A FAIRY TALE COME TRUE RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES. ALL THAT BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS THAT CAME FROM BOTH OF YOU WAS SO WORTH IT. I KNOW THIS ISN'T THE END AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MORE. I KNOW THIS IS TO BE CONTINUED. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR DREAM WITH US. MERRY CHRISTMAS. YOU BOTH SO DESERVE THIS BEAUTIFUL HOME.. ARE YOU CRAVING DILL PICKLES AND ICE CREAM ALYSSA? SOMETHING YOU SAID SEVERAL VIDEOS AGO HAS KEPT ME WONDERING. LOVE YOU BOTH AND BUGABOO. HE WILL BE SO SURPRISED WHEN HE SEES ALL THAT.

[@TheJenn71]

Gma Liz I'm with you , :D baby baby baby :D

[@LiftTruck101]

YES! #1 MOST ACCURATE VIDEO TITLE!

[@carolynkid216]

applause, applause, applause. What a great build. Thanks for sharing this journey. Congratulations!!

[@anthonylennon8331]

Video was brilliant. Well done all!!! Interesting to see the difference between America and Ireland. This would not even be allowed. Crane drivers with no hard hats workers on the frame with no harnesses. People without what we call safe passes needed to be on a building site. The difference is cavernece. Plus work would not go on in weather as bad as that. We have gone very safety PC here.

[@jedidiah5131]

I think the crane operator had one of those cowboy hard hats. They were popular for a while.

[@CharlesLScofieldJr]

This was a fantastic video. I have watched like 20 some videos the two of you have put out. But this one was the best. I really like how the Shelter Institute crew made it all come together. I wish the Shelter Institute had a campus here in Colorado as I would like to learn how to create a timber home.

[@cherylharless281]

Lots of tears on my end as it was completed. I know this was 6 weeks ago for you, so this might feel like it's a bit belated but congratulations. I remember working on a 15 minute video/slideshow presentation editing, syncing video and audio, etc. so congratulations on getting this done (and done exceedingly well!). You found a gem in Levi! QUESTION: How were the timber uprights attached to the base? I'm sure at some point you said how it worked, but neither I nor my roommate can remember and we didn't see any shots of how that worked.

[@hwbarnes4610]

It is sad to see this great group of people go their different ways, I hope all of your dreams come true, and you meet again.

[@BillRust]

Hey, I just was watching Wranglerstar and he gave you guys a shout out and provided a video link to this awesome video. He sounds like a fan.

[@MichaelSDoran]

Me too!

[@shellyshope4968]

This was fantastic to see and can’t wait to watch next steps. I just have to say that everyone involved seemed to be such wonderful people. I think when you do it yourself and surround yourself by others similarly inclined, the strength of character is amazing. This was better than any TV show. Impressed.

[@JohnSublette]

Three minutes in and this is freaking ridiculous. This is like the Super Bowl going into 2nd overtime. Amazing. Hope this video gets ALL the views!!

[@hotdrippyglass]

Nice work. The editing on this series has been outstanding. The framing was one kind of jigsaw puzzle. The music, the timing and the pace of the footage put together is a jigsaw puzzle of an entirely different sort. Happy Holidays.

[@caraoosterhouse7348]

I've been building houses for twenty years and this video is amazing. Love it when a plan comes together.

[@paha200000]

Wranglerstars sent me....AMAZING HOME BUILD!

[@SethAllison]

Out of curiosity, how are the main support beams secured to the floor?

[@mindwalkn3252]

A&J Talked about adding blocking on top of the steel beam 2x6" Cap Board, sandwiching the wood I-Beams over top of the Garage Posts to direct transfer the load down to the support slabs and the ICF walls would be the same way . . . We never saw video of these blocks being installed... Those long lag screws would go down through the warmboard into the blocking . . What I wonder about is all that weight compressing the warmboard and cap board causing dips at the main floor where the posts of the timber frame rest on the warm board causing a bow in the floor to the center line.

[@dvm0retti]

Loved the process and seeing that raising, in the snow, was awesome. Kudos to Levi on the cinematography work. Seeing the camaraderie between the students, the Shelter crew, Jessie and Alissa was great. Was cool seeing everyone fold Levi into some of their tasks while he is recording them. Thanks guys. Good luck and I look forward to seeing you complete your home. Thanks

[@EagleBrewing]

Excellent! Looks awesome! Too many people asking about how the fame was attached to the floor. You guys should answer that! Inquiring minds would like to know. How was the frame attached to the floor? How was the frame attached to the floor? How was the frame attached to the floor? How was the frame attached to the floor? Great video and thanks ...

[@stephcorn5567]

Probably only a center pin made out of rebar drilled into the post as well as in the sill plates then secure with their long screws.This is my guess.

[@act.13.41]

That part got left on the cutting room floor. Alyssa was trying to get the video edited and posted so that people would stop accusing them of milking it for money. People thought they were owed a frame raising video.
