We Have Light!- My House Build Pt13

We did a lot since last video so here is some of the work we have done. Plumber did almost complete water installation, unfortunately i had other project at the same time so I couldn't film his work in detail but did managed to capture some of it to give you an idea of how it is done. I also managed to pull all the electrical cables throughout the house so the walls are now more or less ready for wall plaster. We also managed to finish the insulation and first layer of siding on the tool shack but I thought it would be too much for one video so it will come in the next episode together with wooden siding on the entire house.

Man you have a good taste in music.

the joy of changing light bulbs :D :D :D

[@bm2085]

Thanks for creating these videos, I enjoy watching them, and can't wait to see the final result!

[@graemescebuphilippines363]

Hi Thanks for your house build videos. My youtube says Philippines and that's our holiday home. I'm a retired builder in New Zealand and I'm enjoying your build very different from NZ and Philippines. 😊

[@thanhientran1732]

Love the smile at the end hahah

[@1958PI]

It's so interesting to see the differences how houses are build between Europe and Northern America. Here we see stability for decades! Amazing!

[@Ianmundo]

to be fair, this is far from normal construction in Europe

[@peteaulit]

There are no European standards or practices per say but yes, it is interesting. This being said, he’s building the house himself and a contractor might/will do it with profit in mind so not the same approach.

[@alxace]

Europe is quite big, with many very different areas with different traditions and also different climate conditions. So the construction styles and standards and methods vary a lot across Europe. Plus, this house is not built as a standard house would. This is a designer home, using many custom solutions. But I also like to look at the American videos and see how things are done differently there :)

[@bogmaerke]

I think this build is just as different from my country as it is from Northern America. And I live in Europe!

[@lignumchannel]

Yes I guess when building for yourself, you do it the way you want it and it is not necessary the same it's usually done.. A lot of it here is a learning experience for me as well..

[@bg73]

Dude, this house is going to look so good when it's finished.

[@ninorey9957]

Honestly this is the most solid build I have ever seen, so much detail from the start. The way it is built it will last forever. Absolute quality.

[@julianreverse]

Standard all over Europe ...

[@Jacksterific]

What a fantastic feeling it is to turn on the lights in a new house for the first time! Congratulations on this milestone!!

[@lignumchannel]

It really is! Thank you very much!:)

[@Torontoflatlander]

Always look forward to this series. Interesting to see the differences with this home vs one built in Canada.

[@lignumchannel]

Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoy the series. :)

[@branchandfoundry560]

Ditto here in the U.S.

[@supHauu]

as an electrician this was the part i was most curious about solid stuff!!

[@kendallbelletti5974]

The ceiling, Timbers, and glass look stunning already with the lighting

[@lignumchannel]

That was the first thing we envisioned when planing the house. We started from there and basically build the rest of the house around it. Glad you like it!:)

[@gerardfenn3988]

@8:47 Looking like the building of a NYC skyscraper. The poured cement is so intimidating for a residential build. 1000% Strong As The Ages. I wish you had a larger piece of land to build a home for your cars. That would be such an awesome estate.

[@jm036]

Is it? RC pillars are standard for the Balkans. That is how they withstand earthquakes which we do get. Some people will do wood framing but the resale value of those sucks.

[@graciemaca6996]

So nice to watch a DIY video with soothing music and no annoying talk at all!

[@lignumchannel]

:) So glad you like this combination! Thank you very much.

[@jesscneal]

This build is incredible. The attention to detail is amazing 👍👍👍

[@lignumchannel]

Thank you so much 😀

[@user-gc9ld1gn4l]

What a milestone at the end. A symphony of light !

[@craigbooth5414]

I know so many people who bury their cables straight in the wall. I always think, what if you have to change some wiring? A bit of extra money now for conduit will save so much time and money later on. I like when I see people doing things how I'd do them. I don't envy you if you're doing the plastering yourself, That is my ultimate weakness. Beautiful house, you're going to make the neighbours jealous😃

[@lignumchannel]

Yes, whatever isn't easily accessible should go into conduit, although people ensured me that modern cables will outlive my grandchildren.. As for the plastering, it would probably take me months because I have no experience in it , so we decided to hire professionals who will do it in a couple of days.. Also I got recommendations from different people for the same team so I'm looking forward to the quality of the work. :)

[@Nandel67120]

It's your money but this has to be the most expensive per square foot home ever built. It looks more like a modern art museum than a home. Looking forward to the hvac installation.

[@lignumchannel]

:)Hopefully the facade will lift it up a bit more. I'm doing most of the work by myself so I like to think the money I would pay for workforce goes a bit into higher quality.

Simple and beautiful light fixtures arrangement for the living room ceiling. Looks great. Guess you have some sub-circuits as to adjust the illumination level (or are those LED lights dimmable?). Great job and thank you for sharing it.

[@lignumchannel]

Each row is one circuit + the central chandelier which I still have no idea how it will look. I know the chandelier will be the main ambient light and will be used the most. Thank you for watching!:)

[@CrankyPantss]

This house is looking so impressive. My house was part of a new neighborhood and it was just thrown up in such a short amount of time. Our’s was one ofWe were given a choice between a few preset room configurations and allowed very few customizations. They didn’t even pay much attention to adequately pre-compacting the soil. We had to have the foundation lifted and stabilized after only 15 years because the whole front ¼ of the house was sinking. Most of my neighbors have had or are having the same problem. It has been very interesting to watch you build this gorgeous house from the beginning. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@lignumchannel]

I have to be honest and admit there are some moments when I think I should have bought a finished, older house nearby and renovated it.. Usually when I realize how much work there still is to do.. I manage to snap out of it and milestones every now and then make it easier. I somehow know It will all be worth it in the end. Reading your comments also keep me motivated:) Thank you

[@CrankyPantss]

@@lignumchannel I would imagine that you felt that way many times. The amount of work that you and your fiancé have done is very impressive, to say the least. Yet, you are a builder, a creator, and an artist. It seems natural that you would want to create the space that your family will live in. When it’s all finished, you both will feel the joy and pride every time you walk through a door or open a window. It may not soothe the bumps, bruises and sore muscles now, but it soon will. I also think it’s cool that you’ll have these incredible videos that you have been able produce about it to pass down to your future generations. But for now, you’ll have to be content with just wowing us. 😉

[@xzytqweo3538]

Thank you for the update. I know you are very busy and work on the house when you can and also when you have the time to film and edit all the footage you have recorded. Look forward to your next video.

[@raazdesign]

Looks fantastic! I've never worked with block like that, it's interesting how large the mechanical chases can be and how they are made.

Yes, It also goes quite fast when you get the hang of it.. Though not nearly fast as dry build..

[@russellfreeburn6284]

Magnifico. Looks rippa mate. I mean I knew it would look good but wow. I can just imagine the amazing dinner parties or just lazing around sharing a bottle of wine with your mates. Congratulations on the project thus far.

The lights look great, would hate to be the one that needs to change them tho 😅

Great video Mr G! . Maybe it's because I'm not in the construction trade, but I'm amazed at the variety of materials you are using in the build. Cheers!!! and thanks for sharing!

[@lignumchannel]

Thank you very much! I hope it was worth the wait:) Latest earthquakes in Turkey are quite far away so we didn't feel it, and hopefully wont hit near us any time soon. I like to think the energy released during Zagreb earthquake few years back will take some time to accumulate.. Hopefully not in my lifetime, though I think the house would survive it without damage.

I'm glad LED lights last so long, could you imagine this without them, you'd need a gantry system that hooks to climbing gear to get to them all without being in the way when not used.

[@lignumchannel]

Yeah I hope you are right and they really do last at least 3 years as they have warranty.. Otherwise I'l be pretty angry..

Makes sense using P.U. foam in the bathroom. (When I was a kid, people would exclaim "P.U." when they encounted a strong (bad) smell) Excellent video, thanks for sharing. Has the price of lumber settled down where you are?

[@lignumchannel]

The p. u. foam is an unsung hero of this build:) Yes the prices have dropped to almost the same level as 3 years ago but I think that's it. If they were this low when I started this build, a lot more timber would be used.

[@barthanes1]

There are a lot of building practices there that are much better than here in the USA, but I'll never understand building a super strong block wall, and then bashing weak points in it to run electrical wiring or plumbing.

[@lignumchannel]

The thick brick walls are load bearing by default but concrete beams, walls and pillars take on the horizontal seismic forces and wind forces. That is the way the statics are calculated, house needs to have enough surface area of concrete walls- pillars in both perpendicular directions so a few notches and holes in bricks won't do any harm to house statics.

[@madeofnapalm]

But where is the builder-in-chief? 😁
