I was about to spend more than tiwce this on another smart toilet, ordering this one intead. Thanks so much... and thanks for all the pro tips! Super useful.

[@axstin6687]

You guys are also the reason why I'm going into construction as a career. I hope that this lets you guys know your doing your best and inspiring people out there like me!

[@FranciscoRodriguez-qt1oc]

Crazy I started out in the electrical trade a year ago and within two months I found a builder who took me in and I’m now doing everything I’ve been watching with you guys over two years building from the ground up I’m 27 and found a career I know I’m going to love and do the rest of my life thank you guys for all you do !!

[@DarkSeraph351]

As someone who's been in the field 20 years, let me give you a few tips: never forget to stretch in the mornings before starting work and in the evenings before you get sedentary; always lift with your knees and never twist at the waist with a load-turn your whole body; and no matter what the other guys on the site might say, WEAR YOUR PPE. Head, eyes, ears, respirator, knee pads, safety toe shoes. That stuff is no joke. You never think it'll happen to you until it does and then it's too late. Contracting work can be really rewarding but it can be hell on your body if you let it.

Good luck entering a career in which you get to compete with millions of illegal 3rd world immigrants.

Growing up I watched a lot of home building and renovation shows on tv, this channel has to be at least 5x better than any of those.

[@durkle1120]

im in school for construction here in iceland and have just found your channel like a week ago and am just absolutely loving these videos, very informative and hilarious. It really solidified in my mind that I picked the right profession.

It’s a good life doing construction

I am always amazed how well Jamie does with the prosthetic fingers. He was one lucky boy. Home office is starting to really take shape now.

Erik, I’m fully in the #LetJaimeTalk camp. However, it seems you have found Jaime’s kryptonite. You can keep a cooler of sandwiches on hand and bring one out as an incentive when you want him to be more concise.

[@user-qf9xt9ud9o]

Pro tip Put long handles on your rollers.

[@antelopes]

An architect here with a pro tip! When using a floor leveling compound or a self-leveling topping, I'd suggest providing a double sill plate, that way you have plenty of room to level, up to the thickness of your first sill plate, and then you still have room to nail your gyp or other finish! This even helps in new constructions where the floor sheathing is relatively level, because we often spec a 1/2" to 3/4" thick gypsum floor topping to help with the acoustics of the floor assembly! Love the videos, keep up the good work guys!

[@passatgt]

What i did for self-leveling is that i drilled in some tiny screws around 1 meter apart, set the laser on the ground, marked it on my screwdriver and i adjusted all the screws in/out to create a level surface. Then spray painted the screw heads bright yellow so i can see it and then it was really easy to pour in and adjust push it around until it was level with the scewheads.

[@Shibby7634]

That's sorta what Jaime was suggesting, but Erik didn't want to perforate the vapor barrier.

Hey I love that insider carpenter knowledge about putting stupid boards on a wall. That kind of knowledge only comes from experience and if I can learn a few things to save me some headaches on my own renovations, it's very much appreciated.

[@Tagintsev1]

Would love to start carprentry. If the perkins are ever looking to start an apprenticeship for a 28 year old guy from Florida I would move up in a heartbeat to join and learn from these guys.

[@Prowler1963]

Nice toilet, I would imagine that the "If you sprinkle when you tinkle, be a sweetie and wipe the seatie" has officially become passe.

I am not in construction but I love your videos for the humour, your amazing team and the wonder of seeing a house built from start to finish. TFS. Love you guys.

[@heatherclayton-callaghan4270]

As a 70yr old Nan in S.E. Qld Australia I've watched you guys building homes with grace and humour for ages now. I keep hoping my delinquent grson will watch the videos I send him and pray the light will turn on in him to get an apprenticeship instead of just talking about it. God works in mysterious ways His wonders to perform, so absolutely NOTHING is out of the realm of possibilities for Him. You boys never know just how God can use your building business and or your videos to transform lives. THANKYOU for the dedication to getting it right and keeping it Light. Blessings y'all from Ipswich. I pray you'll help turn a lost delinquent into a prodigal son. 🇦🇺🤗🙏💞👌👍✌️👏✝️🇺🇸

Couple things, the windows open and they make handles for rollers.

As a retired Australian carpenter, I enjoy watching something I know so well, done in different ways due to climate and other local factors. Awesome as always. 👍

A mate of mine loved a beer, in fact he really loved a beer, his nickname was ‘Horizontal’, just like your boards. Good episode cheers 🇦🇺👍

Never realized where that came from, always thought it was a reference to cubes. Pretty crazy to think about the world before we figured out condensation, but it wasn't very long ago

Some tasty looking forever chemicals in that slab sealer. Would be interesting to hear ya'll talk on toxicity in homes over generations and talk with some of the older locals.

[@marymigliore3396]

I like the lap siding, it looks very nice ! What an improvement !! I LOVE YOU ALL @ P.B.B.!!!!!

[@Mikeb4ugo]

Have you never used a roller with a long handle, less backbreaking!!! good video as usual.

[@rickteeden8656]

Get extension poles for those rollers and save your backs when applying that liquid vapor barrier

[@jkgjr8279]

When butting into imperfect masonry it really helps to grind out a channel for the wood to slide into…essentially mortise out the stone. Make 2 to 3 vertical kerf cuts typically abt an inch deep & chip out the masonry then just slideeee in the veneer(whether it’s sheathing, hardy corner board, etc)

[@jpnguyen11]

Everyone should experience a Toto toilet once in their life, the one in this video is ok as well.

[@glenlongstreet7]

The toilet leaves me speechless.

[@leslieapplegate65]

You make it look so easy and I know it's not!! It looks awesome!!

[@davidbishop2101]

Love the channel. I have been watching for almost 3 years now. Pro tip of the day. The make handles that screw into the roller so u don’t have to bend over like that. Pro tip #2. U can turn your saw blade backwards on the reciprocating saw so that you can cut close to the ground when cutting out the door 😂😂😂

[@robmoreau3272]

Pro tip: Get you some long handles for your rollers. That’ll save your back from getting so achy breaky.

[@kennethbarber438]

they know what roller poles are. Probably just didn't have them at Erik's house.

[@connordothu]

When we were levelling floors in our house we put pur foam pads a metre apart and cut the tops of them flush (laser measured them so cut were accurate), so the floor levelling material just had to be poured and spread.

[@NGUNOW]

South Park smart toilet episode :D

[@michaelc.3812]

I installed a Toto Japanese toilet seat back in 2019 and that sure saved on TP during the crazy shortages of 2020! But honestly, I love these systems and I often place a GFCI behind toilets in new homes as a gift to new homeowners (I’m an electrician), and I wish I had one behind every toilet in my home. These toilets look pretty cool and are reasonably priced, so I’m going to check them out….

[@debby8428]

I love this project! As much as I enjoy watching brand new houses being built this is more my style!

[@katiewolfe183]

I would not have laughed so hard at Ray if his hands weren't on his hips like they were. 😂

[@johnpeterdean1653]

Finally catching up with Japan, Korea and Taiwan on the automatice toilets ⛲⛲🙂🙂😉😇😙😙😋

[@DenUil]

For leveling my floors, I glue these plastic shims on the floor with construction glue in a matrix. And stack them up to level. Than use them as a reference point when pouring the leveler. Cheers from Belgium

[@thenotoriuosbg7372]

Another cheap alternative to walk on the self leaver is shoe attachments for lawn air rating. Like cheap ice shoes.

[@kennethbarber438]

for floor level guide, glue down a grid of wood shim blocks.

[@scotts4125]

I have a top of the line Toto Washlet. It's a game changer. I don't use TP any more. I hate going on vacation using a regular toilet. This toilet seems to have all the functions my Toto has for a lot cheaper. I'm looking for a second one so let us know how this works out. Toto makes handheld travel bidets. We have those as well.

[@roxanneherrman2107]

That Horow sure is great; I can picture Jaime like Rodin's "The Thinker" on it.

Nice mancave guys !!! don't forget a pool table, darts, a lot of booz, pinball machine and a big Wurlitzer 😂😂👍💪💪

[@youknowme58]

Love your shows. If I ever built a house anywhere near y'all - done deal! Thanks so much for taking the time to share these. Regarding the vapor barrier, what about the concrete under the 2x4 wall plates? Wont this attract moisture and allow this to creep up into the walls?

[@sheilasaunders3338]

We just built a sunroom, off the back of the house, using the exact same shiplap. It came 16 feet long, so no butt joints for our room. We also put it on the ceiling. We ordered ours prestained. The room looks so good, we love it.

[@VanillaIceCoffee]

I use Bostik Roll-Cote for vapor barrier, very good stuff, thick layer, never had a single issue with it

[@columbiariverhandyman]

I bet they were wishing they had a pole for those paint rollers 😂

[@mikeisley4445]

Jamie is on point my friends north Carolina here Buddy's

[@kennyshepherd8311]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@magictrading8903]

Won’t the wood studs where there is no vapor barrier be the prime suspect to soak up moisture from the slab and cause mold behind the walls and drywall?

[@nicko198718]

Powder into water always, also IMHO they have the best tile grout on the market pretty decent adhesive and liquid waterproofing membranes.

[@chrisbeam9342]

Great job guys

[@public7515]

Guys, use the extension handle for the roller.

[@pamelahousley7543]

Love watching all your videos - thank you for sharing.

[@glenwratt7814]

Hot tip for you. When you doing the base plate for a frame and it goes through a doorway, cut the underneath the base plate 1/4 to 1/2 way through at the sides of the doorway. When you come to cut that out later it's easy peasy cause you don't have to cut on the concrete or subfloor

[@sammosher1812]

That stuff looks suspiciously similar to water-based poly for wood floors! Also, screw some broom handles on those rollers so you can stand up and roll.

[@donovandavidsonAlton]

Looking fab it will be great in the end

[@TheDirtyBirchTrails]

Note to self, remove siding trim before caulking grout color caulking !!

[@Kralphrn]

I just love these videos

[@leann4925]

I do like the boards better than dry wall. Like how you caulk along the rock. Enjoyed watching and thanks.

[@alisterdownie1177]

hey guys love the show watching from Scotland so i had an idea while watching yous paint the floor with the moisture barrier, could be a pro tip of sorts why didnt you use the the wee paint air gun to paint it on the floor would have covered it evenly and quicker and saved yer back and knee's. just a thought.

[@praetoriian1625]

[@2chipped]

I am definitely the Jaime in this situation. Always long walls first then shorter with shorter pieces. Also what is being done needs to be answered, followed by why we will choose to install in this manner. Working backwards from what is the intended look is the best chance for success. I enjoy scribing....a tip before attaching scribed substructure, use it to trace on to the trim. I am often accused of overcomplicating a situation, but also a better result. Ya'll have a good ying and yang from the brothers- the other 3 guys! Also a simple plug,they sell a captured spring return guide rail with pins ...for a tracksaw on butt or angled cuts. I've been remiss in sharing this😅😅😅

[@davidfeldman7001]

Love your vids. Wondering why some of the FG batts have no paper face. Doesn’t all the walls need the vapor barrier. And just a suggestion. Insulate bathroom walls.
