ICF Mountain Homestead: Ready for Prime Time!

[@aguyghow9783]

I will simply say .. every aspect of this prep work is interesting to me, very .. I like the careful detail involved in every step .. in real time.

[@Banjo-lm2wl]

Great job looks fantastic

[@AudioGardenSlave123]

It's gotta be such a relief that all the structural stuff is out of the way and now it's just esthetics. I've read the comments and I hear there's some issue so I'll actually watch the video like a normal person now.

[@freddien7]

Wow you are a hard worker, it sure is Bright!!, and thats just the undercoat, Good job love following chanel, from UK.

[@cynthiafisher9907]

Great job! I bet Jaime is getting so excited!

[@Guildbrookfarm]

In my head I am already cooking and canning in the kitchen lol!!! ~jaime

[@mariowickel456]

Every video is one step further along, this is going to be a awesome home when you get done. Looking great

[@LizZorab]

Wow, the house is really looking amazing now, I'm so pleased for you.

[@Lyn4817]

You are going to appreciate all the aches, pains and be grateful for your eye to detail when its all finished. Mind I don't envy your second coat of white. Spray painting will definitely lessen the eye strain. The feeling of achievement will be priceless. Your videos aren't boring. They can be extremely educational for people. When we did a build-on ourselves, I did all the taping, mudding, prepping, priming and painting of the drywall for my very first time at the young age of about 50 (female) and we were both working full time. People don't know what they are capable of doing until they try. Sadly most people won't even try. The place is looking incredible. I am starting to get anxious to seeing the end product.

[@J297WFD]

I think while you are working or showing your work you could narrate personal stories or funny things in your life. Like red poppy ranch. His videos are awesome to watch.let us learn more about you and your family.

[@jamesaknock5430]

Outstanding video. Thanks.

[@Cameron-ur2tk]

Ive had that little graco for a few years, couple tips.... A.) completely break down the gun, clean and let air dry especially where the needle seats. Where the needle seats up against it will rust up then itll start shooting like shit. They didnt mention that in my directions but yeah save yourself the headache. When you take off the piece that the needle seats against pull the trigger in while you crack it loose as to not score the needle (its really like ball bearing). B.) If you care about saving paint for cleanup throw your suction tub in water and just blast the paint from the gun back into your paint can until itll looks a tad looser. I dont usually bother with that unless i have a 50ft+ hose on.

[@belvadalidowich5314]

The house is looking so good already. I can't wait to see the home painted and the colors.

[@Guildbrookfarm]

Me too!!

[@karenwornum]

Hi from Western Australia Am enjoying watching this build. It’s going to be a beautiful home when it’s finished

[@katherineyanagihara2909]

Aloha Jeremy! Good job! Thank you for all your info you pass along! Aloha nou!

[@Mulberrysmile]

I’m not sure what lumber you need, but have you considered using your own trees to get lumber at a better cost, or checking if a local person is already set up to cut lumber? I guess for outside railing you want pressure treated, though. Maybe a local could weld you up some nice metal railing instead of wood? Or even the metal or wood posts with wire is good, too. Y’all must be so excited to be this close! It’s beautiful and you are doing a great job. For the quality of the build, I would guess you’ve saved at least $60,000 by being your own contractor. In FL we used to go do “The Parade of Homes” each year. The half million dollar places on a zero lot line plot so small you could touch two houses at once were crazy. They decorated them beautifully, but then you look closely and see the gaps that shouldn’t be there, the crooked molding, the walls that were crooked, not to mention the fancy roofs that you could see were brand new and already having water issues... I hope you take a lot of pride in the high quality work you’ve done and the crews have done for you 😁

[@Guildbrookfarm]

I am actually looking into this. It will depend on whether the lumber needs to be graded and stamped.

[@elizabethchetwood1916]

@@Guildbrookfarm Jeremy, look at Red Tool House’s channel. He has a couple of videos on getting your own milled lumber stamped and graded.

[@josephdennison7077]

Y'all have really come a long way. One thing for sure; once it's finished, it'll be right. Attention to details all the way and countless hours of hard work.

[@sagikerius]

That was so satisfying to watch. Like buttah. Looks amazing! So exciting 🥰

[@jenniferwilder5118]

It looks beautiful! I have to give you a ton of kudos for taking this huge project on and handling it so well. I've been with y'all since the old property and I've watched all the bldg vids; however, I'm not a builder so I have a couple of questions......it's time for a Q&A update where you could express what your anticipated move in date (yes I know that would change) and will you ever get back to gardening and canning/cooking vids cause I really miss them? Keep up the great work! Oh, did I miss when you are going to finish the ceiling, I feel like you said what you were waiting on but I've forgotten it.

[@germyw]

You have legit rooms! Amazing.

So excited for you guys! Looks great!!!

[@evarogers8775]

That is a whole lot of white!!! So good to see your home pulling into the final stretch(es). I know there's always another job to do but occupancy is within sight. You must be so tired of this now. We're all cheering you on.

Jeremy you did such a good job! It sure is bright with all that white, and I can't wait to see what colors your going to do. Jeremy keep you chin up! We will be praying for y'all

[@azaleaacres]

Looks great. Like you said a blank slate. Can’t wait to see where it goes from here

You've come along way on your house it looks great! I know about crap that goes wrong. And yes it comes in three. But your house looks great and I'm happy for you guys.

[@wallaceloper637]

Looks good.

[@pennyzyla9515]

Val spar paint is great and it doesn’t fade. We painted our living room with Valspar and when we repainted it several years later, it had not faded.

[@adubbelde1]

I used a sprayer to do the garage, 900 Sf plus the ceiling. Walls are 10'. I didn't have an extension wand and it shows. But, it's the garage. Lesson learned. Ceiling is kind of rouch. I tried rolling paint over it to no avail.

[@hisimagenme]

Thanks for sharing, love the texture!! Lol, "do not remove" - snip!✂️😅. We got the same sprayer for painting our house outside, really liked it! Hope the hiccups aren't too nasty. Smiles and blessings...

[@jimtaylorsr]

You could have saved the paint in the line by spraying it back in the pail while it was sucking clean water through to clean it after use. Hind sight is always 20/20!

[@rootsrocksfeathers1975]

Love it, Jeremy. I can't wait to see the railing you choose for the upstairs balcony and stairs.

[@lindacummings6921]

And I can't wait to see ANY railing on the upstairs balcony. I had to look away when anyone was 8 feet from the edge, or I would get dizzy. That is why I live in a one story house. :-)

[@Guildbrookfarm]

I use that balcony to set up and tear down scaffolding all the time. A railing at this point would get in my way.

[@MHarperInc]

Loving the progress

[@gingin21jr]

Well done

[@Off-Grid]

We wanted to do our off grid home in ICFs not only for the insulation factor but as protection from a hunters stray bullet. And as a tornado shelter. Ended up doing traditional stick frame.

[@darlynearmstrong1599]

Hello It's really coming together and looks great!!! Move in date is on the horizon it really looks great!!

[@dellazoe]

Whoa-wow....amazing job you are all doing. Looking so absolutely amazing! I have watched it from before you moved to this property and what a journey you have all been on. Am so impressed with this project and all the work you both have been doing!

Great to see this progress!! Utube stopped sending me your stuff for a while. The trestle platform on top of a tall rolling Baker scaffold made my heart jump a bit, but I was your age once too lol, thank God there weren't cameras all over the place then. I'll have to go back in your channel, cuz I've missed a lot. I wish I had approaching half the energy you folk do. Cheers guys.

[@spyder2289]

I don't personally care for the texture but damn if it doesn't look just like the actual plaster walls at my mother's house from the 40s. Can't really get over how well it turned out.

[@davidmacek2354]

Watching a masking off window prep to texture and painting is not the boring part of the vlogs. Just don`t make a vlog on watching the paint dry. This has been more educational than watching this old house back in the 80`s.

Hail from the Oil Patch in Central WY! This may sound like a weird question, but I grew up in high humidity country (Western WA) and came of age in super low humidity country (Wyoming) and so when I saw those HUGE Ducting Channels for cooling and heating the VERY first thing that came to mind was the question: Wonder if he's going to insulate those to increase efficiency, lowering heat loss, during cold spells/winter and lowering cooling dissipation during summer? I'm always thinking of ways to reduce heat losses (Wyoming Winters are vicious quite often between -50F to -60F and regular temps at 0F to -30F. Summer we can hit triple digits come late July and certainly August, though 90's are the norm. Looking forward to more and I REALLY hope your well issues are temporary and CHEAP considering how much prep you put into it, and the cost of the well itself. Cheers from the Oil Patch in Central WY

[@yanbu000]

...and the 3rd problem is...? nice teaser ;)

[@acasey4014]

You guys come up for air now and then. Building a house is rough on a relationship. I've built 3 and a 3600 sq. ft. shop/barn/office the way you guys are doing it, limited contractor, as much as possible yourself. It' easy to miss details when you have them all in your head. Example: In my office I put a water heater for the bath/shower. I bought a 110v ac months before I needed it. I neglected to insure that the electrician wired it 110v, and may have told him to run 220v. Anyway I smoked an element and thermostat. But, it's fixed now. You won't have that problem, but it's just an example of handing something off and not clarifying the details. Stay strong and together.

[@TheUserid82]

I know you are not to it yet but a fun idea for the kitchen is to find someone near you that has a laser engraver to turn standard tiles into custom tiles for the kitchens backsplash. Anything from names/family crests to pictures etched into the tiles with the only extra step after install being the need for a sealer even if the tiles wouldn't normally need it. Could buy the laser cutter yourself but then you need to learn the process but the $400 or under cost for a low end CO2 laser cutter/engraver that can do it might be cheaper in the end. Most of the diode lasers don't have the ability to etch glass or ceramics so can't go with those even if they do work for woods and leather.
