Building Girders & Insulating the Foundation // Ep. 4 Timber Frame House

[@Z-Bart]

Awesome! From a plumber's view point...that is one fine crawlspace.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

I definitley had HVAC and plumbing in mind

[@devlynmarie7746]

12:50....right in front of the pink panther board....dead ant, dead ant, dead ant.... 😂

[@wilbertbeijers9134]

Must be great to finally start working at your house yourself. Can't wait for the next episode. Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones!

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Yes it does feel good! Thanks and merry Christmas to you too!

[@dlandes14]

19:39 I puckered up for a second thought that puppy was coming crashing down lol. Nice work man!

[@AF-O6]

This is a superb series. I appreciate your attention to detail and tips on working alone (or without a crew).

[@toddmadsen2732]

Great to see you having your son help..

[@mattcampbell7873]

love the old school method. Hammer and nails dawg!

[@jorgeconcheyro]

It is always amazing to watch how houses are built in other countries. Thanks for sharing this, much appreciated. Cheers from Buenos Aires!!!

[@josh_watson]

Foundation is awesome and super strong, but I'm most excited for the actual timber frame videos. If your timber framing work is as impressive as your furniture, this house is going to be epic. Cheers!

[@sapelesteve]

Great work Chris! Good thing that you have got your little helper standing by! Give UTZ a pat on the head for me! 👍👍🐶🐶

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Will do

[@Codger2015]

You definitely look like you know what you are doing. I so miss doing this kind of work. I worked in construction for 8 years building apartment buildings. Now I watch all I can find. Some are better than others. I would rate yours near the top.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

I appreciate that. Im definitely not a pro builder but I try really hard to do it the right way.

[@andreycham4797]

He screwed up on insulation. Those boards must be placed before they poured floors

[@georgewilmore7599]

Awesome start. Always many things to do when preparing for class to make it go smoothly.

[@DigitalSwagg]

Looking good I'm excited to see the finish product! Congrats

[@c.a.g.1977]

This is such an awesome build, so happy to tag along via KZbin!

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thanks! Im glad you are enjoying it!

[@therelaxingwoodshop7495]

Brilliant. Lunch time video during work

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

"I don't do this every day, so I'm looking forward to driving all these by hand" Next scene... wears tennis elbow brace :D :D I feel that.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

😂

[@MCsCreations]

It's looking stunning, Chris! Your house is going to be gorgeous! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊 And happy holidays!

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thanks brother you too!

[@jin9724]

Genius idea tgat you used those shelves to move the huge girders by yourself!

[@derekrobertson1548]

Looking good, I would live to build my own home and now that I am following your journey it make me want to do it even more. Can't wait to watch your next videos. They can't come fast enough. Wishing you and your family all the best on your adventures.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

thanks for following along and wanting to see more haha Ill work hard to stay on top of getting videos out!

[@conalmeenan5930]

Loving this great to see the progress

[@judahryan]

If you have a splice in the sill plate you will need an anchor witching 12” on both sides of the splice. FYI also I would use 1/2” anchor bolts but not sure code in your area

[@duststorm2699]

Yeppers. Anchor bolt. NOT nails and glue

[@kenknight4560]

Very enjoyable watching this build. Great video.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@manuviron]

Another great video. Love this build series.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Im really glad to hear that! Thanks for watching!

[@emilevoyer123]

THANKS FOR THE VIDEO

[@mavigogun]

All that concrete... and now insulation on the INSIDE. This is where I tune out.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

why?

[@baxtronx5972]

Yeah, not sure which climate zone this is.

[@JustinBania]

The timelapse of him psudo-moonwalking with the sawsall at 3:40 tickles me. Just sliding along cutting foam hehehe.

[@ajhearn4535]

somebody loves you, sweet stiletto hammer ya got there, better then most of us carpenters have lol

[@arayawoodworks]

Killer. Great vid. This will look awesome

[@enwinn]

What is the crack running along the plane of your beam starting around 12:23 time mark? Is that a different way of providing a relief "cut" instead of making an actual cut in the slab, post cure? Seems like in your crawl space slab pour video, your concrete guys were inserting something kind of like a long bladed shape with a black edge about here in your crawl space slab, but then pulling it out rather than leaving it in place. Is that what this crack is all about? Your build is fortuitous for me as I also want to build my timber frame on a 4 foot conditioned crawl space and your build has introduced me to some nice implementation touches I was not aware of like your perforated footer forms and interior brick ledge stem walls. Very cool. I was toying with going ICF for my crawl space walls. Your build gives me some additional ideas to research.

[@benjaminreinhardt259]

Didn't you already find termites on that land? Down here in the south we install the foam 2-4" below the framing to provide a gap for termite inspections. The lost in insulation is worth the ability to find termites before they cause problems.

[@coleparkins7646]

Nice hammer work 👍

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thanks 👍

[@pgrosebud2012]

I like the timber frame series- 5 months without a new video. I hope all is well with you,

[@zephyr1408]

Just started watching again I see your helper is an older guy like me I am 65 still work full time as a finish carpenter. I am ok financially but prefer to work . If you look back in history like our ancestors they worked into their 70’s and 80’s why? No social retirement benefits! Good hard work is pleasing to God ! “ by the sweat of your brow”! Good job !

[@DavidParker]

It’s funny to see a woodworker using those rigid foam insulation panels as insulation instead of a surface to breakdown plywood with a track saw 😂

[@StavrosGakos]

👍👍👍

[@Jim-Wade]

Are you considering using the crawlspace as the plenum for heating and cooling?

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

yup

[@cj-ef1rp]

Two things: instead of poly iso insulation, you might have used mineral wool batts. Termites and rodents can’t survive in it, plus you don’t need any fire barrier. Yes, by code your crawlspace doesn’t require fire treatment on those rigid batts, but from a family safety perspective, you should seriously consider it.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thanks, yea I'll probably add some of the fire retarding paint stuff that Ive seen. Seems like an easy to apply solution over adding drywall

[@baxtronx5972]

Galvinized screws into those brackets next time. Screws have less of a chance of backing out vs nails.

[@milt7348]

Stay safe.

[@jrmintz1]

Fascinating! Just curious, why not use lag bolts to hold the beams together? I'm sure nails and glue are fine, just wondering.

[@lolabun715]

"july 15th, that is the number of my birthday!" My overly-excitable backside: oh, me too! Me too me too me too! 😅😅

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

A great day to be born!

[@uneartheros]

Happy belated birthday lol

[@joshuabunkley6727]

What happened to oots?

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

He only wants to follow my kids around and steal their food now haha

[@tattooedredheadx]

Girder. That is all...

[@TheRich4187]

I'm bummed....I thought you were gonna drill all the holes by hand and then cut those huge beams with a handsaw. Lol....just kidding. But seriously, my man's a beast! Chris wrestled those boards around alone and then dropped them in place! Take a good look ladies...this is what a real man looks like. Works hard, gets dirty and no product in his hair.....🤣🤣🤣 Great video. Can't wait to see more. Be safe and try not to blow your back out bud. You might still need it after the house is done. Lol

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

To be fair, I don't have product in my hair because it has all fallen out :( haha but thanks man for the love and support. I really appreciate it!

[@baxtronx5972]

Geez, get a room dude.

[@duststorm2699]

Glue? They just analyzed a town where a tornado came thru. All the 1960's houses with nailed-down sill plates/beams were destroyed. Oops

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Where is this info located at. I’d be interested in seeing it. Unless it’s brick, concrete, or cinder blocks, not much is going to stand up to a tornado. They are arguably the most destructive force on earth… and pretty rare, I don’t think very practical or economical to build with the idea that the structure needs to be able to withstand a tornado. Unless you like underground bunkers 🙂

[@jmert_5859]

I'd probably be worn out after nail 16 or 18.

[@jeffg3575]

Hi it's going to be a good build but I cannot watch it with you swinging the camera about all over the place put it on a tripod or buy a gimbal I want keep watching but it makes me sick

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

I'll try to clean that up for you.
