Building A House Start To Finish In 7 Days!

There's nothing I love to see more than skilled labor. You really know your stuff!! Keep up the good work!!

[@danielcampbell1357]

Or you can just use red chalk 👍🏽

[@CalebF2014]

Especially house building.

[@RamblinRoadies]

Pro Tip, use concrete color in your chalk box. It will stain the concrete and not wash away. That way you don't have to seal your chalk lines.

[@friendstart1760]

As an Architecture Student i really enjoyed thank you so much

[@timalan7406]

I helped on several builds that from start to finish was 2 days. We had over 100 volunteers lead by licensed men for each trade working around the clock. It's hard to believe unless you actually experienced it- it was awesome!

[@jak71113]

By the end of this video, I was picking a few splinters from my hands, breathing a little heavy, and ready to kick the work boots off and take a cool shower. In all seriousness, I love these vids. And I was excited to hear that you’re going to do a detailed build video in the near-future, with feedback of options from viewers. Not enough schools (or communities) teach kids the art of carpentry/construction. I was born in 1981, so Sears catalog-ordered homes were well-beyond my time, but if we had large kit homes again, and the means to watch vids like this and build them ourselves, that would be awesome.

[@sordgolorn8876]

But it's still wood sticks, paper and glue and some nails put altogether to make something that looks like a house, you know? Any of you, considering that the climate is changing in front of our eyes and the weather will become more and more difficult? The storms, winds and floods will be more and more often? If you want to build house every two years at max, then it's ok. What else I cannot understand or comprehend is, by all that is happening and it's more likely that sooner or later, zombies will arrive, believe you me, they are not going to use the windows or the door to enter in the "house" in order to feed. They will break the wood sticks walls and start feeding. Or even eavesdropping and spying with infrared? Is anyone considering this? Where's the privacy? I sure would not like for someone else to be in the bedroom when I have s.x with someone and that someone who I wouldn't see to be present only "to take care" whether I am doing it wright or not. PEOPLE WAKE UP!

[@gtplumbing2004]

Been doing this my whole life. I love the lingo. Construction has been an enjoyable life for me and I love seeing others enjoying themselves doing it too. Break out that tub box, the plumber will thank you.

Watching you guys do this is awesome. I like watching workers who are passionate about their work, especially work I could physically never do. also, my all-time favorite movie is Spaceballs.

[@mytubebobbie06h]

Great video. If I may suggest,maybe explain what you’re doing for those people that are watching your videos and may not know what you mean when you say “California corner” or what its purpose is or why you measure 16 on center versus doing a 24 on center, how to read the site plans. I know it’ll be boring to the pro’s who do this job daily but to those who may be seeing you work and not fully understand or have a basic idea of what construction is or may be thinking of jumping into this trade, to these individuals it would be interesting and informative.

[@ZeroDeg]

A California Corner is a framing corner built with three studs. Two studs are perpendicular, ending two walls, with another stud staggered against the wall ending inside the wall. This allows for insulation to go along the back side of the corner and it also allows for drywall to attach to both sides of the corner.

[@shaunuchiha4502]

If this guy could accurately explain how to read prints without a full day course I’d be impressed. Print-reading was the worst when u had to learn

[@pennsylvaniadutchmasters]

He literally explained what California corner ment buddy.

[@jayL-zl1yo]

@@ZeroDeg yeah and California corners leave nothing for one side of siding corners to be nailed to other than plywood which is why U-corners are superior but takes another stud. Calis are cheapo. Sure, the APA approves siding fastened to nothing but plywood and only if you do it to spec (which probably isn't often followed) but either way it's a corner man... do it nice.

[@amazon4716]

Wow. So pro. I never seen chalk line used like that. Marking the walls locations.

[@Chachi487]

WoW really impressed back in the day as you mentioned we used 12 penny nails and hammered every nail. We hated starting the job we hammered cut nail all around the foundation that sucked big time. We triple plated for all the walls and after we built walls we had 1x6s nailed to the walls and blocks tacked to the deck so when we stood the walls the 1xs would swing down and we plumed them right up to the blocks and we built the gables and put the pins in right on the roof then set all the in between nailed them all in and we nailed the hurricane plates on every one we hated that. Then we put up all the sheathing. We built custom Holmes in Medford, N. J. Old school to the max but we loved every minute of it. So satisfying going from a slab of concrete to a full house. Even more satisfying when we put up the sheet rock that’s when we got to see the rooms. Thanks for makin this vid. I really enjoyed watching it took me back a long time. Gr8 memories Ps. If we got caught hitting the 12penny more than 2 times when building the walls we got yelled at. Hitting the 12penny in one shot was always the goal.

[@curtisreese9403]

Great job guys, and I love your communication, and teaching as you complete each task.

[@honumoorea873]

Even if pressure treated, i used an epdm sheet between concrete and the bottom of wall, prevent humidity coming from the concrete to go in the wall and rot it after 15+ years.

[@vancecarson2745]

What my Old Man taught me was to mark the corners and E.O.W or Door ways in marker. It sounds silly but it’s dummyproof. Plus you don’t have to use as much Clear Coat. Just an Idea 🤙🏽 Keep up the work. I enjoy the content

This is my first time watching a house being built, I want to watch these for when ke and my husband build our dream home. But I dont know anything about the building process so when I seen the red chalk on the string at the beginning and it was all over your fingers it scared me, I was like "WHY IS HE STILL GOING! HE IS BLEEDING TO DEATH!" My boyfriend laughed at me and said it was red chalk and he said that him and his dad is it to plan out porch layouts and stuff like that when they are building lol. 😊❤

Thanks for taking us with you onto the job site. I forget to appreciate that forward thinking process, sorting priorities and adaptive practices to do that type of work.

[@JoeYoung-gu7yk]

I love your work and I love your channel. I have one question, May be I missed it. What is the reason for the outside perimeter board nailed against the bottom plate?

[@abm2958]

Top plate temped up for marking?

[@stevew9563]

He does that so when he does layout of the studs of the wall he can transfer the marks from the bottom plate to the top plate (nailed to the side) so they will be very accurate, matching and square. He mentions there are many ways to do that. If he did not have all those bolts in the concrete sticking through he just could have stacked the bottom plate and top plate and marked up the sides of each right next to each other.

[@JoeYoung-gu7yk]

Thank you, I appreciate that. Please keep up the content. I really enjoy your product.

[@joeofmesaarizona3595]

@@stevew9563I appreciate this info. As a layman I’m thinking would it be easier to just lay the top plate flat next to the bottom plate on the inside of the house? Ignorant question I’m sure there is a good reason not to :)

[@stevew9563]

@@joeofmesaarizona3595 - I think guys like the marks on the edge of the board so they can see them easier when they are building the wall on the ground. They could trasfer them from the flat to the edge but that would just be another step.

[@hedayatalefi4942]

As a danish engineer i don’t even think this build would be approved as a summerhouse here. I mean the build is absolutely amazing but what about the fire hazard? All this wood i mean it would burn down in an instant. And would it not be cheaper and more structurally stable to use autoclaved aerated concrete blocks to build the frame? How much does such a build cost? Because i’m most definitely sure that this build is not cheap my guess is around 200k-350k$ and in that price range i think it would be better to use the aforementioned concrete to build the frame and walls.

[@CalebF2014]

You’re right about the price. Lumber has got very expensive that past 5 years. For a 3 bedroom house about this size I would say it costs 100-150k per home.
