Extreme Budget Home Build Episode 19

In this video I learn an important lesson about certain things that you probably shouldn't buy use....
And we put down the subfloor, and raise a wall!!!!
Check out the cost so far here:

Yes! Walls going up I’m excited.

This is awesome to see. I am doing a small, extreme budget build myself. I know you said you thought people would give you crap for not having beams, but I think that technically you do. I know they are used on decks a lot around here, but what you have is called a flush beam, as opposed to a drop beam, which is having the beam under the floor system. Nice job man, keep it up!!

Thanks for the kind words! Do you have a channel? I’d love to check it out. The flush beam system works fine, however I am going to add some two by 12s to work is both lateral support and extra “beam“ material. I haven’t done any of that yet because I just acquired the two by 12s lol. If you’re building like I am you probably understand that dynamic. I think that’s probably the hardest part about this is just the timing of finding materials for a workable price.

@@bespokebudgetbuilds I may end up posting some of the build here on youtube, I think it’s cool to document with the cost of housing right now. You can definitely build a house affordably if you learn to do it yourself. I’m building on a crawlspace as per Ohio code, but I know soils in other places allow for pier and beam. I salute you finding materials that way! Unfortunately around here, there isn’t many good opportunities for secondhand materials, but I keep my eyes open!! I look forward to the rest of the series man!!
