Construction of a MEGA sized Modern Home PT 47

[@judithpersley2828]

The problem solving skills needed to be a builder continues to amaze me. From the gaps between the Architect's plans and the build solutions, to the way wood behaves or is milled, to developing methods for getting the results you're looking for. I had no idea until I started watching u guys. Respect to the builder community. Respect to the Perkins crew. Thanks for the learning and the fun....what a gorgeous house this is going to be.

[@mindgame112]

Don't know if it's just me but Ray seems so at ease lately and just enjoying everything more than ever! These videos are just amazing every single time!

It's all that coffee from the other day still kicking.

[@brettellis3948]

Yeah the coffee was my thought too lol

[@mreinecker]

It’s mostly because of the recent improvement to Rays life. He was born with two left feet but Jamie and Eric recently paid for Ray to get a foot transplant. This means he can walk and jump and run with ease now. It’s been life changing. An indie media company is actually still working on the documentary about it. I can’t wait.

[@ramellesmith1520]

@ - thanks! I am enjoying my beautiful home and healing from hip replacement surgery. So things are going pretty well. Glad for PBB videos to make me laugh and grateful to run into some of the guys on occasion. It was great fun getting to help where I could and hang out with the crew on the Modern Retirement Home Build. Saw Erik and Jaime at my place in mid Sept when the deck/railing folks Envision Outdoor Living Products did a photo shoot of my beautiful deck. And saw Jono and Arlo in October at an event.

Pro tip- When using spade bit and you need to make the hole larger than the diameter or keep it from walking. Take an off cut of 2x and drill a hole all the way through it, you can now use that off cut to support the spade bit from wondering. Just hold the off cut with the hole over your existing hole where you need to widen it and drill through. This works well for hole saws too.

[@thomasmackey6760]

This was a fun video. I love hoe you did not let the box beam insulation hickup slow you down. I love that you reground that paddle bit to make it servicable again. This gives us all permission to solve on the fly without feeling like we are cheating or being unprofessional. Let me be clear im not talking about circumventing building code, just not letting little issues stop all progress.

They make garage door openers that mount on the wall next to the spring tube and turn the tube directly. Then all you need are the tracks that the door rollers ride in. That way there is nothing lower than the door. Might save some room.

[@michaelc.3812]

In reflection, I’m so dang happy you guys and your clients are okay… better than okay. I love Thursdays and Sundays with the PBB releases and Jays as well on Sundays. I’m still sending support and prayers to all the folks in NC, Tennessee, Georgia and Florida yet selfishly I’m happy that the project goes on… and on and on!

[@Avrumi-ly2el]

I hope we get a sneak peek of the finished product at the end of this build!

[@Al-sq5ti]

The header over the garage door should be built with the double LVL nailed together and not as you fabricated with the insulation between members. The structural strength is only achieved if the LVLs are nailed tightly together.

[@daveallan3152]

I was watching, on my phone, you hog out that hole with the spade bit, and I actually blew the shavings off for you. Thanks for the tight shots.

[@diegojines-us9pc]

they do make compac garage door openers. the tracks are almost flush mount to the ceiling, and the drive, its mounted on the wall by the door, really neat and compact.

[@giantman261]

Residential we don't usually show much detail on mechanical and hot water other than the location of the hot water heater. Commercial we have service engineers do drawings for hydraulic, mechanical and electrical, usually more codes and rules and complexity.

[@mistyfranklin3351]

Can definitely put a 9ft door in 10ft ceiling without any problems. I still can't understand the telehandler situation. As much as you'll move stacks and stacks of materials by hand, 40ft ladders, tons of scaffolding u would save so much on labor not counting productivity and save ur men's backs. Could easy set the trusses more safely and more efficiently.

[@jaaaasan]

Like Jamie said 16 inches or even more is better. U'll run into problems with 12 inches or less of headroom

[@mistyfranklin3351]

@jaaaasan I've built many garages in my 30+ years in business. Of course more head room is always better but I've put plenty 9ft doors in 10ft sidewall/ceiling heights and never ever had an issue with the door track or electric door openers even with finished ceilings also the higher the ceiling from the track u have to do alot more bracing to keep track from moving and door jamming from running crooked or coming out of track

[@maryrodgers6041]

You videos are the best shows on any platform that exist, that includes tv network shows, ( most are just stupid). Probably because you guys are plain authentic!

[@benjaminreinhardt259]

For aligning those spade bits off center in an existing hole or without the tip, drill a hole in a piece of scrap and clamp it over the spot you want. That will guide your bit. Works well with hole saws. Should work with a spade bit.

[@marcmercier989]

I like seeing yall do things that I’m confident many builders skip over. Specifically in this episode, taking time to fill the header with foam board, and ripping the foam down to fit in. I feel like others would’ve just been lazy and said the hell with it.

[@Joe-gd2wu]

7:50 that's what happens when you use a paddle bit in an impact. Impact drivers drive things in, Drills drill things out.

[@Anthony-g8u]

Hi guys, Love the channel, long time subscriber, I do miss Arlo though! PRO TIP - for drilling out the side of a hole you already made with a spade bit in the plate timber going over the bolts: Get a small piece of Zip board, drill through it with the spade bit, then lay the board hole over the area you want to redrill being off centre of the original hole, and the board hole will start the spade bit off nicely without running all over the place. Even better - use a holesaw bit instead of the spade bit and it will work perfectly with the Zip board pilot hole. Keep up the great work, one of the best channels on youtube for sure! Hello from Perth Western Australia :)

[@michaelc.3812]

Eric, Leckie here (what the Aussies call electricians). The power you mentioned (3800 watts?) is really not as important as the energy (kWh or kilo-watt-hours). You just needs to avoid running your oven/range while on battery (typically 5,000watts or 5kW), but need to conserve energy (kWh) between charges.

[@robinharrison3907]

FANTASTIC TEAMWORK AGAIN FROM THE PERKINS BOYS👍👍🥳🥳

[@craiglyons3975]

I think I know what to get the Perkins Brothers for Christmas. A 50 pc box of 1 inch spade bits. Maybe Forstner Bits? Keep up the great work gentlemen.

[@johnscott2076]

That would be hundreds of doll hairs

[@situational.analysis]

Imagine how awesome it would be to have complete illustrated drawings of all the electrical circuits with assigned dedicated colors and depicted as elevation views of interior walls. It would be like looking thru each wall. 30 years from now, you'd have a roadmap back to every breaker. Same thing for plumbing. Better than a schematic. Nobody would ever ask, "I wonder where *this* goes."

[@wethenorth6437]

This can already be done but no one wants to take the time to enter the data into a schematic program. In business buildings we used to draw up schematics for phone Extension locations and TCP/IP Cat 5 cable placement and label the outlet as well as label the punch down panel. It made for very easy trace back to the panel when switching out a faulty cable or moving a phone. If you didn't keep up with all the changes however it was a nightmare to figure out.

[@aaronmdjones]

I've been designing my dream house in Sketchup for the last year (because I'm bored and it gives me something to do in my free time) and I've modeled every electrical conduit run to every wall box, and the entire mechanical room with all of the conduit, trunking, panels, switchgear, etc. I haven't done water yet. 😂

[@situational.analysis]

@aaronmdjones Now that's time well spent. I'm a former technical illustrator for Lockheed Martin Aerospace. Besides creating poster and publication art, we would take blueprints and decipher the plans into "pretty pictures," or rather, isometric and perspective views of subassemblies for them to build by. The Air Force didn't like it because they quit looking at blueprints, but we speeded up fabrication and accuracy. I've also worked for 2 architectural firms (before computers). Now my primary tool is Autocad 3D for modeling and orthographic drawings when designing homes. Hey, you don't have to be bored to construct virtual buildings. All those colored lines, rotations and 1/1000th inch tolerances. That's a video game! Yes, I've trowled concrete, pulled wire, soldered copper plumbing, run loaders, and my hammer better be an Estwing!

[@situational.analysis]

@wethenorth6437 That sounds fairly complicated. For my "house construction history" chapters on wiring and plumbing, you just have to get in there before the sheetrock and photograph each wall, along with your sketch pad to draw elevation view diagrams. Naturally, you'll need a cooperative electrical team to answer questions. Each wall becomes a page with title block, legend, and symbols. Later, you just redraw it in Autocad for digital viewing. It's a $2,500 to $3,500 service and well worth it.

[@scmike1229]

if you need to re-drill with a spade (paddle) bit and you have no material at the center, just drill a hole in a piece of scrap and then put that on top of where you want the new hole to be. The hole in the scrap will help guide the bit. It's not perfect, but usually works quite well, especially if you clamp or screw the scrap guide piece to the workpiece.

[@markfin7225]

Jamie, you can add a dually axle to a regular pickup, but it’s more than that. Is the frame rated for the weight. Is the transmission rated for the load carried and the gearing used for transport. Nevertheless, yes you can do it with modifications and an understanding of your vehicle’s capacities.
