Floor Joists and Porch Concrete Repair at the Farmhouse Renovation

[@conniesisco6468]

I could watch these construction videos all day! Please keep them coming. Every step is interesting!

[@brianandtamiolson2330]

The the kids involved is such a great thing. This will not only have them appreciate the house but can be proud of the hard work they assisted with. Great parenting you two!❤️👍🏼😘

[@lilyt5855]

I just love how y'all include the kids so much. It's such good family time and shows just how much worth ethic the whole family has!

[@pennywollett3953]

Its so good for your kids to see you working so hard, when they grow up to be successful adults you will reap the rewards of being who you are by 100 times.

[@sandybuchanan3479]

Zeb sure is a hard worker. You are going to be so proud of this house when it is through.

[@diywithtarnya]

So freaking exciting, you guys! That barrow mixing concrete is hard yakka! Also, go Odelia! She is a little machine. Great work to all of you.

[@jenniferbassett3001]

Fantastic job Zeb and Jami!! You did a great job helping your dad, Odelia!!

[@JamiRayVintage]

❤️❤️

[@lisaroth7526]

We always had our kids help us, whatever we were doing. It always astonished me to see able-bodied teenagers sit on picnic tables, bored, while their parents set up or took down the camp for the weekend. Your kids will be proud to have taken part of building your home. The skills they learn there will last them for the rest of their lives, as will their confidence.

[@josiesdiy2412]

You know what I love this home is made with love from the whole family, just as it did when it was 1st built. So wish we all could do this as A lot of people can learn from you all 💪⚘💏

[@mrsdig57]

Great job! I love watching how all the different components come together to build a home. You are teaching your kids well.

[@tmackie1694]

Really love the vibe of this video. Some of the best days are the whole family working together outdoors. Y’all are building a home - and memories your children will remember fondly (along with #skills that will last them a lifetime) 😊

[@TwistedQuestionMark]

When your grandbabies come over, their parents will love telling them stories of how they helped build the family home. You're great parents.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Margie we are pretty sure that the original home was built by the Webb family and then owned by their family for 100 years. It feels right to be remodeling and adding on the same way ❤️

[@TracyAnnCreations]

I love to see the whole family helping. 👍❤️

[@yumikodebold6197]

My dad always let the teenager that mixed the portion of cement for that section we were working on put their name in the cement just before it dryed. We worked so hard mixing just so we could put our name down. Dad was smart. He always knew how to make us have fun while working. Lol

[@JamiRayVintage]

Yumiko DeBold Zeb didn’t let me put my name in it lol. But I am so using this as motivation for my kiddlets

[@lblak59]

So much hard work but so worth it. Jami I know how hard you’re working even if the camera misses it. We’ve built & projected our entire married years. I’m not as adept at construction but I’m always out helping hubby....he says the extra pair of hands are very needed. We just rehabbed my childhood home (dad passed) and living here. It’s too small for us long term but I don’t know if I have the strength to built again. Husband wants to...we’re 60 now. Enjoy your life, it goes so quickly. A home for your family is awesome!

[@springhernandez7417]

So happy for you guys it’s getting closer each time.Looks good YAY for you two!!

[@teresaortiz9902]

Love to see the farmhouse getting done one project at a time. Thanks for sharing. 🤗

[@lauriehuber3040]

I bet you all have sore bodies after a day of that! Truly hard workers, all.

[@pamalapeterson5352]

Another job completed...and...one day soon you will be in your farmhouse! God bless y’all and stay safe and healthy!

[@davidmaterazzi]

Zeb, you are hard working man and very talented. I love the farmhouse videos.

[@ryandeborahwofford7064]

Bucee’s shirt!!! We live about 10 mins from one and it’s our favorite Friday stop for snacks!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Zeb’s sister lives in Houston and she got it for me and Odelia. 😊❤️❤️

[@ryandeborahwofford7064]

We live outskirts of Dallas and we go at least once a week. It’s so much fun to walk around and look at all the home decor stuff...although my husband looks at all the BBQ stuff 😂. It’s a win-win. I ordered some paint and you “let’s stay home” stencil during your last home shopping live video. Can’t wait to put it to use!

[@michellebarham326]

You all will have such an amazing feeling when you walk through the doors of your completed home and know that it happened because you all worked together, as a family, to make it happen..now that is not something everyone can say!! WTG Ray family! 🙌

[@simonebentvelzen8424]

So good to see the kids help. My dad was a carpenter and everything he did i the house i helped. Kind of forced back then but i have learned so much and dont need to call a professional to fix stuf on my own appartment now. You guys are doing great on the house, cant wait to see how it will look finished

[@JeffreysLittleVilla]

[@kimhoneycbd3977]

[@esterdemellolima320]

Great job guys!❤️

[@lindacruikshank2656]

This add on looks huge. What will it house? It looks so cool. Great job to you and the kids

[@JamiRayVintage]

It is pretty big. On the main level it has a two car garage, family room, large bedroom with an en-suite. Upstairs it has the master bedroom with en-suite and a separate walk in closet, a bathroom for the kids, laundry, 3 more bedrooms and a playroom that could easily be turned into a bedroom if we need it to be one.

[@rosebennick1555]

Looks like your moving forward

[@evelynmccagg9579]

Looking good!!

[@marykruse9384]

Doesn’t look like a renovation looks like a whole new house.

[@JamiRayVintage]

A little of both lol.

[@lfuentes4098]

How many square feet is that addition? And is that a garage in the front part? Hard to tell from my perspective. But I’m so excited to start seeing the rest come together!

[@lolitabonita08]

question...why there is a big empty space between the joists...and what is going to be the floor...

[@davemarevka1554]

Why is the rim joist bolted to the inside of the wall as opposed to sitting on top of the wall?

[@JamiRayVintage]

It’s the way the engineer set it up so we could match the level of the floor with the old 1917 home without having to excavate the whole yard to have proper grading around the addition.

[@annhaws6677]

What was the stuff Zeb squirted in before he put water in the cement? I'm curious....

[@JamiRayVintage]

Just water, but the hose wouldn’t reach good so we put it in the bucket

[@sandyneino4219]

Long time fan and prchaser too! Love what you do and had to comment been watching for a long time almost the beginning;...Just lil" suggestion though..use sunscreen Zeb! Love you all..

[@JamiRayVintage]

He put some one today. I bought it and put it in his car. It took him a few days to find it an finally use it

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks Sandy! ( I had sunscreen on today 😊 but not the first day lol)

[@sandyneino4219]

Awesome! I've seen some people use a sort of fabrc flap, like a cool tshirt as a shield for back of neck...it'll keep you young too...

[@sandyneino4219]

@@JamiRayVintage great! I usually just watch and love it all,,you've inspired me for sure! dont forget the keddos too...Blessings..

[@brentderksen]

Do you guys apply subfloor adhesive into the bottom of the hangers? Is that a thing where you live?

[@JamiRayVintage]

We haven’t been glueing them.

[@glendasnyder8328]

Zeb works hard...where are the helpers?

[@JamiRayVintage]

Doing the things they can do. 😊❤️

[@staciegulizia4144]

You guys are amazing! Jami, I have no doubt you shoveled and mixed that cement too! 😊 Loved seeing all the kids joining in. Such a strong family. Thanks for sharing this process with us. 💞🙏

[@maggiefletcherscuriouscelt4199]

I’m exhausted just watching you two!

[@meghancasini8567]

Zeb, did you forget sunscreen again???

[@JamiRayVintage]

Lol. Not this time! Still red from the other day.

[@dianejohnson7212]

You both must hurt so bad by the time you go to bed. It looks great

[@summermoore577]

Boys should have helped Zeb more.
