Getting close to the end with part 17, roofs done now and we start working our way back down with pick-up work and other things that can’t happen until the house goes all the way up. Not much rain in this episode and even though the weather is on the cool side, it’s really predictable work weather and I enjoy it as much as a nice fall day.
Thanks as always for tuning in and interacting with the channel, We’ll see you next week with part 18 :-)

@cjtaylor0103 Ай бұрын

Commented before the end saw that you had an issue? Seems like it may have been related to the handle swale? Martinez is a by the people for the people kind of operation and I’m certain if you wanted to explore other options they would do so under their return/warranty commitment.

@ShredPile Ай бұрын

@@cjtaylor0103 Oh yeah, It's no big deal. 30 years of carpal tunnel has caused that meaty thumb muscle on my right hand to die and the hook on the end of the curved handles acts like a screw wedge and just spits itself out of my hand. I ground it off on the sander and its' perfect now tho. I did check with martinez before I used it to make sure and their site says all hammers can use either grip so I can order a straight one for this hammer but since you have to cut the old one off anyway to swap them I went ahead and modified it. the rest of the handle is perfect so it all works out. Super tool. It will probably see a one month review here soon:-)

Apologies for not commenting Jake. Up in Canada with family for a few months so I’m behind, but wow it has come together beautifully. I loved you casually moving the stairs and them fitting”like a glove”. Tour de Force my friend.

I wonder how many of your viewers volunteered to come there and help, or at least wanted to? Probably 50% were willing to, but 50% of them would just be in your way and slow you down. I know I like to work on my own to my own detriment. I fear that the end of this build series is coming to an end soon and we will all be sadder for it. You must have an overwhelming sense of accomplishment when you stand back and look at your work. Well done Jake.

Thank you Miles, There will be a couple more episodes and then special projects for it mixed in with the next series. I think everyone will get quite a bit of enjoyment out of of what's coming up next too:-)

Sometimes I wonder if I picked the right career. Even though I would be considered a blue collar worker working with my hands in the film industry sometimes easy and sometimes back breaking, it’s all a bit fleeting and temporary, whereas, building something permanent and purposeful seems a bit more important.

@ShredPile Ай бұрын

@@milesbrown2 I think we are considered 'no collar' workers Miles:-) It's probably the same in both trades that the jobs that stick out the most after all the years are the ones that were unusual to the routine like an out of town gig with short notice and short deadlines requiring superhuman feats of long hours and horrible conditions that still taste the best decades later. I can think of a few and i'm sure you can too:-)

I broke a lot of wooden handles ,then switched to fiberglass.But the slivers hurt so bad when they started to brake.I. Went to an Estwing 28 ounce for a few years,but ended up with a 22 ounce Estwing.They are about unbrakeable,a trusse truck ran mine over one time and put a little bend in it,bent it back and still have it today.

I found your channel with the video concerning the ballast weight molds for Tally Ho and when I saw the other videos I have been binge watching to get caught up. You have great content and as a lifelong building trades guy myself (now 75 years old) I love watching others work and pick up tips from them. Perhaps the one I should have thought of years ago was the spot of construction adhesive in the joist hangers. We went to all the trouble to glue our sheathing down to prevent squeaks did nothing about the joist movement in the hanger.

@ShredPile Ай бұрын

Stoked you found more stuff to watch here Dan, there's some fun stuff in the works too. The glue in the hangers for me started in the 90's when TJI recommended it and it made sense so we started doing it to all hangers. Theres been times that i've left it out if I forget the glue that day but even if the tubes are wet or I have no gun I'll still dab some in there with a sliver of wood or something.

@george8873 Ай бұрын

Thought it was pretty neat that you were concerned how the build looks because people were taking pictures so you went through the trouble to move the stairs so stuff didn't look awkward. Anyway, that is a cool hammer. I hear Martinez stuff is pretty good. Seen other people on KZbin lauding them too, saying how good they are.

Yup, Americas Cup Stuff, lots of security for that. One time we were building a boat for Roy Disney and son. Not a Cup Boat. No cameras were allowed in the shop. A guy came past my desk with three cameras, and I told him he couldn't come in the shop. He got really mad and went to talk with my boss. Now Roy Disney SR looks just like his uncle, but Roy Disney JR doesn't. He figured out that I was just doing my job.

not sure it is shown in this video, but I NEED a bag like you have and use to lift stuff, tools, of-cuts etc. with the crane. Looked all over and can't find one as nice. Help would be much appreciated. Fascinating video of what for me is a very complex build.

@ShredPile Ай бұрын

Oh thanks for watching! Happy to help with the bag search. If you look for bulk or heli bags or better yet craneable bulk bags or just bulk bags you'll find what your after. You can also find them sometimes at your local concrete accessories supplier as they are sometimes used to group, sort and deliver pre bent rebar pieces. The ones I have are 24x24x24 roughly and are reinforced with strapping to make a basket of sorts. I put a piece of plywood in the bottom to help out with stiffness and longevity. They came off a job where they were just using them as washout bag for the concrete pours. Tools up, scrap down makes as many trips pay in both directions. I keep one just for nails and fasteners because it will easily hold 4-500# of nail without being to messy to use it. I have some larger pallet sized ones from craning dirt and soils but they are too big to easily use for tools and dumping scrap out of them can be tricky. Good luck in your search. I think super sack, and fibc bag will also get you on the right track. Seems like 25-40$ is about what one should expect to pay for the size I have. Also, for scrap and loose product you want a bag with a loop on the bottom to hang a strap from so you can set it down, unhook the top loops, hook up the bottom strap and turn the bag over by lifting to dump it. Check out this in action on the boulder wall video I put together a bit ago; kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWfNhYGAidSNY6c

@sheph7 Ай бұрын

@@ShredPile Many thanks. The appeal is the smaller size of the ones you have. I have found much larger ones searching for "builder bags" and now "wash-out bags" but none close to your size. I have watched the boulder wall video and the bags used there were too large. Impressive wall was curious as to the drainage plan, from what I saw in the video l was wondering how the house's foundation's footing drains were done. Anyhow thanks for the response, very appreciated (and rare). I'll keep looking.

What were the design parameters that dictated not utilizing the two lower ends for more living space? is the upper going to be a flat roof with curb and drains? Are any of them going to be useable patio spaces? Looks like your spring is upon you. You deserve some time in the sun after the winter rains.

@ShredPile Ай бұрын

Viewed as a whole it looks proper and at 4k+ sqft there's plenty of room. And yes, all the roofs are flat with curbs and drains. The two low end roofs are also green roofs so the few will be much like looking past a lawn into the trees. There is a small terrace out into the green roof off of the primary bedroom at the driveway end and theres a large door wall that will slide open with an internal guard rail looking onto the green roof at the other end to bring the outside in so to speak.

Hi Jake little question , do this house will have a fully outside insulation. Seem to be a burning pitt of money if it's just by the inside or there is a double layer wall for add space for add in ?

@ShredPile Ай бұрын

No, nothing outside. And I'm in your camp also thinking that it wouldn't matter what you did with the wall treatment if most of the wall is window:-) of course the lowest level concrete walls all get the furring wall insulated to code and the roof/ceilings will be R49+ which will help immensely but still.... We don't have an energy crisis, we have an insulation crisis:-)

That's Mike the roofer, He works for himself as well. The GC hires us for the job. Also, the tablesaw deck and outfeed is made by Rousseau. I just keep burning up different saws and modifying new ones to fit in there. The Rigid one was an emergency purchase and I do not like it at all but I'll run thru it before I shop for another one.
