DAY 2: 26 Rookies Build Timber Frame House in 5 Days

[@dcmytube1]

Sat mornin with coffee and a new video.. Im a happy camper ...

[@mheimbach7867]

lol, that is exactly what I was thinking too! :)

[@deloscraft9515]

Yeppers!...Sat morning, coffee, new video plus first prolonged snowfall here in PA!

[@toothlessgrin04]

Looping it😊😊😊😄

[@chriskincaid2923]

to all those nay sayers over the last year or so... these two are real people doing real things and I can offer nothing but praise for people following dreams and doing the work that it takes to get there; God bless you Jesse and Allysa thaks for sticking to it and sharing all that you do - much appreciated!

[@allisonsfollys7713]

amen to that, I am so impressed with them.

[@danieldowning4583]

Mr. Pat is a very wise man. Kind of the Yoda of the post and beam world.

[@toothlessgrin04]

Chris Is Bwahahahahahaha!

[@Graeme408]

Levi, you da man!! You are a born photo journalist. Great interview skills, good lighting sensitivity.

[@susansharphaynes555]

I dont know how anyone else feels but,its very exciting to see their house going up! Great job Everybody!

[@Gotafish1]

Without a doubt, Pat of Shelter Institute and his family are special people. As the saying goes "He is the Salt of the Earth". Its obvious Jesse and Alyssa are good people. All the negative comments such as, you should have done it this way or that, you are wasting so much time being precise, etc, etc the list is too long. All this is not necessary in my opinion. They have a close contact with their engineer, they have the expertise of Pat, and above all a great work ethic. And once its finished, I am sure it will be structurally sound, and a nice home. I personally thank them for sharing this journey.

[@purelivingforlife]

+Sunny W Thank you Sunny :)

[@njords62]

I apprenticed with my grandfather. Timber frame and log building. I had to be able to do everything by hand before i was allowed to use a power tool. 😀 heck of a good way to be grounded in basics and appreciate what you're doing.

[@yippie21]

Great job with the editing... AND Levi's filming and commentary. All around good show.

[@colinblow9231]

Its so awesome that Shelter would take on such a huge project on location with the knowledge and organization they have considering they obviously have no trouble filling their spots at their own facility. Jesse and Alyssa, you must be so thankful that they took this on. I know you would have done this all on your own had they not come on board with you, but the priviledge of their experience is a monumental advantage. Can't wait for tomorrow.

[@Bo_Spurlock]

i really get tired of seeing comments about how expert every person on youtube is... good job guys, glad to see you trying to do your best and making headway

[@gabevieira8732]

As we, family and I are going through the process of renovating a 125 year old milk barn this and all of your posts give me great joy. Keep on posting. We are learning from what you are doing.

[@davidauerbach2626]

I watch this and remember the founders, building homes in the wilderness with only neighbors to help,yet it got done ,without power tools or electricity,I have log cabin from the twenties where I spend my spring and fall ,no where near the complex joints shown here, it stands firm but has its limits, very inspiring ,for me it's the people helping each other that's the most import lesson,together we can do anything!

[@Clipbrd]

Thanks Levi,,, Glad you're there to help.

[@robertlohman8947]

This is amazing you guys. And I am also thinking this might not be happening if it weren't for your concrete guy and his wife. They are awesome.

[@tjinnes]

Beautiful day and a crew of very happy people. Wish I was there!

[@annetteanderson6845]

Frost sparkles on timbers, simply magical!

[@trongod2000]

Gotta tell ya, I've been watching this journey for quite awhile now and the emotions came up when the orchestra came up in the beginning of this video.

[@laptech8272]

One of the things i like about this onsite timber framing class is that the students get to experience what it is like to do what they are doing, in various weather conditions. Many of these students will go on to build their own timber frame houses / constructions and to experience the weather conditions, the frost on the wood, having to clear it off before working on the timbers, stuff like, is experience you cannot get when in a purpose built building which Shelter uses when teaching these classes.

[@charlesjarmanii]

Levi is rocking this workshop! This series is AWESOME :) Thanks again for another great video.

[@markn2904]

You will do it! Thanks for sharing. Levi did an exceptional job capturing the action.

[@amarieshearer7613]

Love the progress, so nice to see everyone learning and getting along so well!

[@LuciferTJ]

Thank you both for sharing all your hard work! I look forward to watching your videos more than any TV show or movie I've ever watched. Keep up the great work! Thank you again so much for sharing your journey!

[@LuciferTJ]

and GREAT WORK LEVI! Thank you!

[@hamsonthehill]

Levi, you are doing an awesome job. Alysa is lucky to have someone to pick up from her hard work so she can do more hard work.

[@MrRainCountry]

Strength in numbers, very cool! It is impressive to see folks come together to be productive and learning skills. Thanks.

[@tedowens7858]

It is great to be a part of your workshop, a thousand miles away and sitting in the comfort of my easy chair. Thank You!

[@texasoutlook60]

Oh, oh, oh so ready to see the final reveal !! Thanks for sharing your passion with us. Blessings

[@robmechanic]

I can't get over how beautiful that wood is. Even the end cuts when you could see the grain... simply beautiful!!

[@RichardShatto]

Levi! Levi! Great footage Levi. J & A you must be thrilled to have such great footage to work with. The sun shining through the flying slo-mo wood chips and sawdust was spectacular.

[@justsocool9325]

I can't help but imagine Pats' amazement when he realizes the scope of what you pros: Alyssa,Jesse, Levi et al, have brought through your videos. I'm not surprised that some hard working people are dinosaurs when it comes to you delightful KZbinrs and it pleases me that you yourselves are hard working and honestly voice your frustrations (in a PG way) making evident the misuse of video and audio by the likes of Hollywood, for the most part, since the inception of video. Hats off!

[@jakejacobsen9489]

Just so Cool(

[@poetgirl7766]

really great stuff going on. very cool to see Alyssa and Jesse enjoying themselves after the hard times. Great to see things moving along.

[@ThomasDercole2230]

Levi camera work is top notch and the music choices are perfect. I have watched every video and I love the channel.

[@yv6eda]

I feel happiness! After so many videos watching your struggles and stress, today was smiles and accomplishment. Congrats!

[@chick-a-bee-farm]

Those are some beautiful timbers, especially when they glitter!

[@chick-a-bee-farm]

Hi Levi - Great commentary and footage! Fantastic editing Miss A!

[@coreywells4830]

I love the fact that Levi has pure joy in his life. It shows in his smile

[@usf3983]

BTW, I like the music you use rather than that other stock music you find with other KZbin videos.

[@anonimofiorentino5948]

This is sooooo inspiring, best wishes from Florence, Italy. Bravi.

[@rico1319]

Here in Texas where it is always so hot, when the sun finally starts to set, all the animals and all the trees, plants and even myself take a big sigh of relief and go ahhhhhhh. That is the magic moment. For Levi..... 👍

[@sharonprior1587]

Not always so hot! We had snow yesterday!!

[@Tony-ip7hj]

Truly amazing! What a journey. I have followed this channel since the start and im so glad to be able to follow this from Sweden. I also have a off grid timber home, so i can feel your up’s and downs. Thank you all

[@jachin7545]

I think Levi is doing a good job. I liked his part with the Shelter Institute guy talking about this youtube thing and how people are instinctively moving back to nature. nothing new really, every generation does. :)

[@bizzobs]

Levi has a addictive smile. Another great video TY guys.

[@DiamondMaker69]

It is great to see you two building your home. I am glad to see the up coming 5 days of the hand fabricating your house beams. To see and hear you two and your group of helpers making the work they are doing a fun experience. It will be interesting to see everyone working in the snow.

[@herwoofnessbostonterrier3420]

This is the most exciting thing I have ever seen on You Tube. Yesterday was a tear filled moment. I feel like it is my house after watching so many videos and now they are starting the build. The IPad has been following me around the house all day, followed by my dog Lola, and I do mean everywhere. Here in New England we have about 8 inches of snow so no interest in going anywhere. Sincerely hope the weather holds while the building is going!!!!!!! Everyone have fun and bring your A game! Jane and her wacky sidekick Lola, the Boston Terrier

[@toothlessgrin04]

I KNOW RIGHT?!?!?! It was surreal to be there after watching it go up

[@ricktssf]

Very Exciting to see everyone learning new skills

[@williamkirkland265]

Day 2 you all had a productive day, great work & video. Hope day 3 goes great.

[@normsawyer4192]

It is nice to see desire and the art of cooperation at work. Good on you all.

[@farm_in_themiddleofthewood3339]

Way to go EVERYONE! You make one heck of a TEAM!!!

[@torstenb5248]

Big kudos to Levi's videography job. Excellent!

[@garysipes8516]

Lord. I Love this build from the very beginning and now I’m on thee edge of my chair ABSOLUTELY reaady to see their NEW HOME. I. Love thiis COUPLE.

[@mcanning51]

Good Job Levi, more please.

[@matthewray6008]

Pat is the best. Awesome guy

[@woxnerw]

It's nice to see the Classmates being interviewed as they apply their Energy-and-Work to the Timbers..

[@kmoneym82]

you guys are awesome! been watching for about 3 months now, and every day i get home from work and get on KZbin to see if you have a new video up. your progress is amazing, and i cant wait to see the finnished project. I live in N. Montana and would love to build a home like this.

[@toothlessgrin04]

twistedinkcreation give us a call!😎😎😎😉

[@Litzbitz]

LEVI YOU ARE AWESOME. GREAT FOOTAGE. GOOD TO SEE PROGRESS HAPPENING. LOVE IT.

[@ginnyd3389]

I just grin and tear up at all the good hard work that is happening. Joy at the whole thing. Thank you.

[@rektalmort]

Levi doing it right. Good vloging!

[@snowtkidd1400]

Jess & Alyssa Stop teasing us... Kidding great video... and Levi great camera work.. Editing is excellent..

[@thagemizer]

Wise words from Pat! Love it!!

[@chriscampbell2327]

What a fantastic video!!! It is quite a satisfying to watch.

[@maneuschwander6394]

Really Cool - Looks like you all had a great time making new friends, learning new skills, and enjoying the craft! Very Cool.

[@MrTrikidiki]

EPIC! Lovely sunshine to boot. Heaven smiles on this project as folk come together get linked up, become one and accomplish... and learn.

[@offgridsweden]

Awesome progress. Greetings from Andreas on Off Grid Sweden

[@chrishillegonds366]

What a great bunch of people

[@tim-andrew.2465]

Just gold people..... all of you. A pleasure to watch. Where do you find women women like this?

[@AttainingExcellence1]

I Wonder my self that, I want one!!

[@gert-jank8992]

Everywhere

[@dane6k6]

I don't know what would be more difficult. Making the mortise and tenon cuts or choosing to just stand and look at the beautiful scenery. What a great work environment.

[@AquidneckRider]

Things are looking great! It's also pretty cool that you got Skrillex to come film. LOL

[@steved8038]

Its like watching the fellowship of the ring were everyone starts to pull together .great filming,

[@rjrackley6132]

So jealous, in a really positive way! Wish I could be there to help you build your dream!

[@gretabeach9347]

Love the videos! Before I watch any other videos I look for yours first. You need to try the winter window melting mix the weatherman gave us to use on your stones. I know it is too late for the class... Anyway a spray bottle with 1/3 water and 2/3 rubbing alcohol when spritzed on windshields or anything else will melt your ice into slush. Alcohol has a very low freezing point and absorbs the water melting the ice at the same time. May help Future trials!!

[@ROBSONY782]

Who is the guy doing the filming? He is good at getting people to talk.

[@bulderdoos]

Pat sounds like a wise man.

[@purelivingforlife]

+bulderdoos Deep thinker for sure.

[@chrisheckard3768]

Great decision to let someone else do the camera work. Awesome video Alyssa and Jesse! Can't wait to see the finished frame!!

[@sirknight438]

I am loving every minute of this, I wish I could have been there myself. And for the (as of the time I am watching) 79 people who voted this down, if you don't like what they are doing, just quit watching, problem solved.

[@botabob]

Levi - You are doing a great job with the camera - Wow! - what a great adventure for Alisa and Jessie - All the framers are looking like they are truly enjoying their part in this project - And last but not least - the Shelter Institute team are the best - bringing all the individual pieces together into a great team and eventually a beautiful home - cheers

[@botabob]

@scprepper 50 - It may be out of focus, I only wear my glasses when I drive. But some of the shots were very nice. I really like the shot of the moon coming up over the mountain. There is so much happening, so Alisa must have a mountain of video to review and piece together. He must have had 10 hours of video squeezed into a 35 minute youtube. Not to mention, his videos are way better than anything I could do.

[@mlixelplix]

Thank you everyone. I truly enjoyed this video. Levi, great on-camera personality, you seem quite comfortable in front and behind a camera.

[@amarieshearer7613]

Nice to see the girls do such a good job, cutting at an angle!

[@amarieshearer7613]

The edge doesn’t take away

[@graceandglory1948]

Levi... Doing a great job!

[@wandahelmer1038]

Wow what a view, I could get use to that, where I live we have trees trees and trees our town is in the forest when you get above the town you look across and its trees. I still love it, any where in town you find deer bear all the wild life that lives in the forest and of course our lake is 20 some miles long and borders Canada. Merry Christmas every one. .

[@7123]

I love this. You can really see and hear Levi's excitement when he does his little talk to the camera bits. Its an infectious amazement. :D

[@toothlessgrin04]

Rhys Walsh "super sharp eh!"

[@7123]

Exactly :D

[@DustyKorpse]

Bob has an amazing hat! GO BOB! ☺

[@toothlessgrin04]

Yeah he does!

[@keppelsmall5313]

i have been watching from the beginning and this is EPIC ( i cried at the beauty of the wood and the process) great work to everyone that has been involved. keep up the great work.

[@tristanwhitman9074]

Sooo stoked that Levi is doing the video!!!! I’m subscribed to his channel as well! Coming along!

[@phillips.english1442]

Levi, Your doing a great job !!! Very interesting shots & angles !!!

[@adammaina1936]

Awesome. Following you special couple and your project all tge way from Nairobi Kenya

[@brianhume1555]

That Golden Hour footage was gorgeous.

[@dennisbarton7373]

Watching and appreciating the work, I can almost smell the fresh cut timbers ....... awesome!

[@ryanjohnson282]

Great job capturing things Levi, seems like everyone is having a blast, good morale makes a world of difference when doing big projects, great work everyone can’t wait to see tomorrow progress

[@marciabrumfield1400]

This whole wonderful project makes me cry. I mean tear up and sniff and just be amazed at the wonder of the whole project. Fantastic.

[@PaulieVavoom]

Levi has such a warm, charismatic and infectious personality! On top of that, he is doing great video! Have already visited his KZbin page and am steering a friend who is studying film in college towards his channel. Great work!

[@logan053110]

Its official !!! I have finally finished watching all chronological order videos over the last 3 weeks. I live in northeast Washington and have been looking to start our families journey. We are currently looking for property now in NE Washington and NW Idaho. I appreciate the opportunity to watch your journey and will continue to follow. Thank you.

[@smitty74usmc]

Levi is doing an amazing job with the camera.

[@yettistorm2414]

just love the scenery with the hills and trees. could not live on the flat plains.

[@goldenfarms2934]

Man that was awesome! Levi did an excellent job filming and I can’t wait for day three. Thanks for sharing another great video. 👍👍🇺🇸

[@TheTrueCelt28]

This made my heart happy for you two!

[@michaelblasi9412]

Awesome, I have been enjoying your journey for a year or 2 and I am in awe with the progress, the view is amazing and the final product will be one of a kind and you two were able to do it together, awesome! "Living the dream" It's also very cool you have a crew of people helping out and developing their skills and have some craftsmen in the background helping people grow and passing on the knowledge they have, again amazing!

[@daveweber1331]

As fascinating and well done as these videos are, I can tell from here, that only a tiny fraction of the spirit, the camaraderie, excitement, and intense educational energy was transmitted via video! Too bad we can't LIKE these videos as repeatedly as we feel about them. :-) That frost on the beams, frozen sharpening stones... They were a small portent of the Thursday nite pile of snow you guys got...

[@Linda123sme]

💕 all the smiling faces on a ccccold frosty morn - Levi, thank you for your wonderful footage and your wonderful smile 🤗

[@arcaniprea735]

What a great video with some awesome footage!! People looking more confidant as they work through the timbers. What a great group of people!

[@jessicamckinney5759]

Really enjoyed this episode! I like learning about all of the students, and how they are feeling during the project. Bob is the coolest.

[@toothlessgrin04]

Jessica Mckinney thanks. It was a privilege to be there

[@gwendolyng9473]

Levi needs to become a permanent part of your team. Beautiful videos. Not that you do tos bad, Allysa. Love your guys. So excited for you.

[@joeworden825]

I thought the exact opposite. JMHO

[@Dumackalan]

love the epic music i feel like I should be doing something 3:25
