OH MY GOD I have been waiting for a house update. Everything is coming together so well. I can't wait to see it all finished and the layout of everything once you get furniture.

[@DudeDad]

Heidi also can't wait for the furniture stage lol

[@RobertEvansII]

Every day I've been checking!

[@jenniferellsworth1226]

Crazy the amount of energy Taylor has for his family. Crazy.

[@darinjost902]

Don't worry about getting behind. You just need.......... a couple more days.

@@DudeDad If it would help cross something off your "to do" list and get the project finished up, you could just give me the Bronco's package....... ya know, just trying to be helpful.

[@TheOReport1994]

It's amazing that your children will be able to watch your house renovations and remodel, for years to come, and see how much time and effort their parents took to make the house a home for them! :)

[@user-wr8fc8nb5p]

We missed the videos!!! Please keep then coming!!

[@DudeDad]

Lots of life has been happening! We'll try and keep the videos coming as soon as we can!

[@aliciarobertson8187]

You do amazing work, your kids are adorable and you have the best wife ever!! Thanks for sharing your latest update and I can’t wait to see it finished!!!

I can't wait either...lol!

Wow, this looks AMAZING! I love everything about this series, making such a wonderful home for your family. And being a part of the process will only make you appreciate it more❤

[@DudeDad]

Thank you so much!

[@JoshOutdoorsGR]

We've been adding a bathroom in our basement at the same time you are doing your project. Much smaller and you're a better contractor, but it's been fun seeing your updates while we plug along! I'm almost finished, just a couple more days.

[@Kurodarkness]

Hooray an update! Who needs HGTV when there’s these lol

[@stevefuller7805]

The floating walls are due to bentonite clay in the soil. It's to prevent the structure from being damaged when the slab inevitably lifts during expansion of the soil

[@alisontopalian8592]

God Bless your neighbors

[@probablynot1368]

We have some weirdo ‘expansive soil’ here in Colorado. When it rains, the soil turns into an expanding, slimy slurry. Can’t plant shrubs or trees near the house, as any irrigation will cause the soil to expand, resulting in a cracked foundation, or a cracked basement wall. When the soil dries out, it becomes either hardened, dry clay clods, or it crackles and turns into a dry powder. It takes years to build really good rich soil out here. In the meantime, we battle the bark beetles, Japanese beetles, and the Emerald ash borers that are decimating our evergreens, grasses and plants, and ash trees.

[@tylertexx9344]

Your reno videos are my fav. Frost heave happens but not that much, Central Alberta gets way colder and we still do normal bottom plate. Guess you have to follow the code. You addition is going to be the warmest place in your house.

[@jakecochran2012]

The gap is for expansive soils in colorado

[@pinktiger1511]

Love how you snuck a window to the wall reference in there! Glad to see the project moving forward!

[@homethatilove4595]

I love seeing custom NEW Pella windows installed... makes me very happy all the natural light

[@ComedyBros5]

That's looking awesome and the craftsmanship is fantastic! You guys are so close! I can't say I know exactly the stress and the tiring days you're going through, but I can say I've been in a pretty similar situation! We added onto our kitchen in 2021, all the work being done by me, a few of my brothers, and my Dad. Wife and I had a 2yr old and 3mo old. We didn't have any code inspections to meet, so that wasn't a worry. But we live on a slab home so the concrete for the addition had to be pretty dang close to the original kitchen slab. It was sooooo tiring and stressful living in a workzone with two little kids and being unable to use our kitchen for 2mo, but, the end result was so incredibly satisfying making it so worth all the work and stress!

[@autumnfeldpausch5539]

I don’t care for drywall anymore. When we refurbished our home 8 yrs ago with limited finances, we drywalled. Granted you can repaint anytime so you can easily change colors or shade. I really like the old school paneling (not from the last 40, 50 yrs ago, the older style) and different designs of real wood. That is a really nice addition to your home. You are surely going to love it.

[@ayshapaige]

So cool seeing the work and learning the details!! Cant wait to see what it looks like in a couple more days!! ❤

[@maggiemacha5552]

Welcome back! We missed you! I hope you were having some summer fun with your family! I noticed the baby is walking 💕 Remodeling your home with a house full of kids, wowza that’s an impressive amount of patience 🏆 You are a Dude Dad Champion‼️ it is looking amazing! Can’t wait to see you all cozy in your larger living space this winter ❤ Much love to you and your beautiful family!

[@PhSyCo-B-oCh]

This is awesome to see, everything is coming along nicely, I cant wait to see the finished product. Ohhh it's sooo exciting 🤩

[@DudeDad]

I also CANNOT wait to be done haha

[@PhSyCo-B-oCh]

@@DudeDad lol it's fun for dad and kids cause they get to play on tractors and with shovels, but moms gotta run behind making it safe, and clean up. Lol 😎

[@admiralcapn]

Just remember with that dual zone - it can still only do air conditioning OR heating, not one in each zone. We have issues sometimes with In-Law quarters where the parents want heating at the same time the kids want AC. No-Can-Do with only one condenser.

[@lindsaylee9082]

I love watching this progression you guys are amazing! I can’t wait to see the finally reveal!

[@DudeDad]

Us too!

[@lucygarrett9785]

thanks dude

Used to go to the Drive In all the time in the town I grew up in (30 years ago). It still exists but it's so popular now that the cars are lined up on the main road for 3-4 hours, waiting for it to open. Just not worth the wait anymore.

I don't know much about construction but I do know the rule, measure once cut twice. That would have taken care of the window not fitting.

[@acevett06]

The fun part of drywall is to hold in place and you drop the last screw or nail. Then you have to stretch and hold it in place. It's all fun until you sand and realize it gets everywhere.

[@DudeDad]

hahaha yeah it DOES get everywhere

[@homethatilove4595]

Yes, But now the drywall is up upstairs... can DDAD write in the basement walls ?

[@katchmeifyoucan1131]

@@homethatilove4595 Maybe they still can. Or write on the unpainted dry wall. I think that as long as its there is what matters. We did this while remodeling our ensuite.

[@GeorgeP1066]

For real though, this is a great tip. I always write "hail satan" on the inside of my drywall for that very reason. The magical energy of *checks notes* writing down some words does a great job of keeping religious nutjobs away.

[@katchmeifyoucan1131]

@@GeorgeP1066 Its a very good thing that Dude Dad and his family are are believers in God and his Word.. I don't think that they will be writing anything like that.

[@GeorgeP1066]

@@katchmeifyoucan1131 and yet I'm pretty confident in my memory the bible takes a very strong stance against witchcraft and magic, which is what writing words on the bones of a building and hoping for mystical benefits as a result. I'm not a believer in Christian doctrine, but I'm pretty confident that the requirement is to have Jesus in your heart, not in your drywall, so I'm not sure why Bible-based witchcraft is your go to, or why you think it's a nice thing to leave in your walls for future inhabitants of your house.
