I was thinking a time capsule would be fun to put into your home and set a date for future Sadie to open as an adult 😊☕️❤️ you all are amazing

[@unsocialbutterfly5760]

Imagine in twenty years, they possibly won’t have newspapers anymore, so definitely put one in the time capsule. Technology is going at an alarming rate, so it would be really cool to have a time capsule for Sadie.

BUY THE $20 TWISTER!! I vote with Kayleigh on this one!! You could put a bunch on with one twist, then use your drill quick chuck. Amazing accomplishments! Hugs from 🇨🇦

[@johntatum1951]

Yep, I think the twister is a good investment ...JOrdan needs to get onboard the twister train.

[@drewcama2488]

Isn't the hand twister made for pre made wire with loops on it? I guess the wire is more expensive, but time is money.

[@natrelacoustix]

You can Jerry rig an ordinary electric drill to twist wires without the loops. You don't even need to spend any money. They both weld and they have plenty of scrap metal around.

[@teuscftp]

@@natrelacoustix just take a bolt, like a 1/2" head, drill 2 holes in it and it will work nice, easy and quick, but the welders grip would be useful for other things to...

[@epicfiremarketing1140]

If you really wanna go fast on this, you have to get the premade 3 inch wire ties with loops on the ends. That way you can use the wire tying tool and it cuts down your time by like 150%. If you can’t buy the premade ones. It’s easy to make them and it’s time well spent. In front of the TV you could do them at night. You’re gonna need thousands of them. But so whatyou got the time and it’s gonna make making these cages so much more fun.

[@eccentricdrea]

Its so amazing what the guys have done thus far!! it looks beautiful. PLEASE take a picture of it when ALL the holes are done from up above with the drone and frame IT!! Hang it on the wall it would be a beautiful piece of art work. LOVE you ALL!!!! Bravo and job well done. I love how funny you all are. Bless and sending you positive thoughts.

[@edtelis264]

Love that idee

[@eccentricdrea]

Also lay down in the middle of the whole thing somewhere, fly the drone up and take a pic of that! AND frame it!

[@kirkw1740]

I've got a recommendation for the building of the columns. You'll need at least 2 saw horses, which are easy to make for yourself out of wood, 3 of them would be better so you can support the middle of longer pieces. Lay your 4 long pieces of rebar out on the saw horses close to the hole it will be going into so you don't have to transport the finished piece far. Tie the 4 together temporarily, count out the amount of square pieces you need and slide them onto the 4 pieces that are tied together. Then you untie the 4 long pieces of rebar and tie the end square pieces in place and work your way to the middle making sure to space them out appropriately. Should go faster and be easier on you especially if you can prep more wire ties and everything ahead of time, like on rainy days.

[@paulamorris2384]

Y’all AMAZE me! It’s blowing my mind that you dug ALL those holes by hand! That’s CRAZY! If you can do that, the rest is a piece of cake. It’s a good thing those holes are deep otherwise your home might slide right down that mountain. This is going to be the absolute BEST BEAUTIFUL BANGING home EVER in Panama!

[@AllenRodz61]

Please Jordan and Kaylie, don't rush anything in this build of your home, no cutting corners, for safety reasons that is, etc. You build your home 🏠 slowly and beautiful, and safe, and as far as I can see you are all doing an awesome job.

Kalie, you would have to refine your clay a little bit, but yes, you can use your clay. Clay is very fine, so just dry, grind, and filter through a fine screen and you have workable clay. You want to do it before it gets mixed with the organic material, so put it aside while you dig holes.

I had a career where I used my hands and wrists every day. The result is, I have carpal tunnel in both wrists, and had to have a surgery on the right one. It became so numb and painful that I could not use it at all, and the pain would keep me awake at night. I have arthritis in both hands, and trigger fingers on both hands. This is where your fingers will lock in place when you bend them, and it is very painful! Get every tool you can to save your body from trama.

[@outdoorsman2b918]

Im glad of your continuous progress. A fee things; 1. Those rings are called stirrups. 2. That super tall rebar basket, there a very important thing to be aware and I hope is delineated on the plans. It is called "development length ". When you will tie up two rebars together like the vertical ones, you need to overlap them and tie them together a minimum length so the work as one. It depends on the structures forces the rebar will take but if I didn't have access to a structure engineer , I will assume at least 50 times the diameter of the rebar. For example, if thecrebar is 1/2", the development length will be 25". So the connecting rebars need to overlap 25". 3. Lastly, consider cold joints in concrete. If you don't pour concrete fast enough, you will have cold joints and the footer will not have the strength of a footing poured with homogeneous concrete. That little concrete mixer could be a huge problem .
