This is a good book. Does provide a step by step introduction to how to build things kzbin.infoUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 , also does offer some steps. Includes pictures to give you ideas for layouts and such. If you are looking for a guide, this is not exactly what you want. But if you are trying to familiarize yourself with the way that pole barn building and other out buildings, are made, then this will work just as you need it to. A few things in this book are a barn (of course), detached garage, storage building, and coops.

Love this video. I'm a former builder from Georgia. At 1:09 you asked why the pencils are flat. 1) They won't roll off the surface you lay them on. 2) But they can be used for fine measuring or spacing. They are 1/4" thick and 1/2" wide. 3) The lead is thick to resist breaking, and you can scrub the lead down to a sharp but wide shape for precision marking.

[@psilver063]

And if you do drop it throw it away you shattered all the lead inside 🤣

[@sameerdawood8277]

I have met some crews work like family. Show up everyday. It all depends on contractor. Pay them good, unemployment during winter, benefits and consistent busy work. Actually a lot of contractors doing this type of build have amazing crews. As a customer if I am building a house, and say I don't cheap out accept a good bid I will find a contractor with employees like this. Usually what happens is homeowner will hire for least price, get cheapest contractor, who will pay lowest to employees, who will not show up. Now if you spend decent amount of money, the contractor has money to pay decent etc. You get what you pay. If I don't pay good for a job I will end up with subpar contractor. You will be surprised if you found out what he pays those people to show up. It shows up in their attitude. They are paid very well.

[@MrVideopath]

In Germany we would take a company for the holes, another for the foundation, one for the brick walls, one for the wooden constructions, one for the roof, one for the insidewalls, one for the painting ... and so on and on. YOU took only six awesome guys and made it!! GREAT SKILLS!

[@Diddley-js6lf]

That is the difference between a Contractor vs. A Builder.

[@anadubar4819]

Uhm, if you do, then you don't do it right. A friend of mine has a construction company in Berlin, and it basically consists of 8 friends working together, building houses. They build houses all over Germany and Poland. In addition to that: there is a difference in building a brick house versus wood. There is a huge difference in building laws, laws in Germany being much more complicated, and they require licensed specialists for all work you do, from construction to plumbing to electricity. This prevents people from doing all kinds of different jobs, they have to specialize in one particular field, have the specific diplomas and the liability insurance that goes with it. And then, on a side note, I dunno about this house which looks of a decent quality, but in general, the quality of houses in Germany is WAAAAAYY above that of American houses. These paperboard houses get blown away with the first hurricane, they would never pass the Bauabnahme (final approval by authorities) in Germany. When you close one window, the entire house shakes. Whilst in Germany, it is expected that houses, once build, will be useable for the next 400 years. At least.

[@romanoschwabel3716]

@@anadubar4819: I also from germany and built 1 large hosue in france nearly alone and also 1 in germany. but in germany I had problems with the government and also because I always asked them how to do and reading the laws and tell them that only because of they always do so as they wanted me to do it is not sure that there is also an other possibility. but also in germany each state has his own building regulations and even from city to city often the people working there in those government offices not know how they hanlde this all in other cities. and that is why it is so expensive to built a house in germany. all is double and tripple regulated and everybody only wants your best - your money

[@Tomeccho]

Same here in Australia. A whole slew of "not my job" tradies who have minimal care of the build as an entirety because theres no ownership past what their task in the process is. Everyone is fast to point fingers when something goes wrong with no one willing to step in and make repairs because that's tacitly taking the blame. Builds are never on schedule because if one trade is late or slow to complete, then it puts everything else off schedule, and the following trades have already moved on to another job. We are in the middle of building a shed on the farm for robotic milking and involved there's the shed builder, concreter, glazier, electrician, plumber, IT tech, and installers of machinery. Already, the shed builders have us a minimum of 2 months behind schedule because they took two weeks off without saying anything to do a 'quick job' elsewhere. The concreter, who should have had his part done 3 weeks ago is unavailable for another 4 weeks due to him not being able to wait and having work booked elsewhere and the glazier said he'd have to do his installs now or not be able to do the job so all windows and doors have been done before the floors even in... All other trades have also been shunted weeks further away from contracted dates because of what the builder did and no one is sure of trades availability now and no one is happy, least of all those of us who should have had a completed shed ready to use 2 weeks ago.

You guys are the best. However you made a major mistake in the placement of the perforated drainage pipe on top of the footing. This pipe should always be placed alongside the footing and lower than the joint where the first course of block meets the footing. The pipe has to be lower than this joint in order for water to drain away from the wall. Years ago, Fine Home Building Magazine made the same error in an article about how to waterproof a basement. They issued a correction after I pointed out their error. Don’t feel bad, most builders make the same mistake.

This is an amazing video! I can’t believe I sat and watched the whole thing, but this was so well done, so well edited, it had me locked in the whole time. I’ll say this, if I ever build another home, I WANT your company doing it. I’ve never seen one crew do everything!! From digging dirt, foundation, concrete pouring, block, rebar, framing, roofing, decking, siding, drywall, primer, painting, fireplace, tile, flooring, cabinets…. and I’m missing tons more, every member of your crew did it. This HAS to make the whole house just that much better. Here, it’s a separate company with different crew at each step of the way. Having your crew doing it all means you’re taking ownership all the way through. Seeing everyone involved in staining the doors and baseboards was next level amazing as well. Seriously, whoever the homeowner is here…. you are SO fortunate to have had this company and crew. I’ve had homes built and others renovated that don’t come anywhere close to this quality, this level of care! Whatever you paid them…. it wasn’t enough! 😂 I’m in Canada, but hell I’d move to the Smokey mountains just to be able to hire you guys to build me a home.

I have always worked by myself building garages, decks, and other home type projects and property maintanence. One fall about 10 years ago I had to go look for employment. My sister hooked me up with a framing company. I knew how to build but again I always worked by myself. I joined a 3 man crew that had been working together building houses for years. I found out quickly that I didnt know the "proper" names and terminolgy for alot of stuff. being the new guy and odd man out felt very humbling and had me second guessing my every move. As soon as my other work for myself picked up I gave my notice to them. I was always in the way and slowing their process down. At least I felt I was. Those 3 guys would build 3-4 bed 2 story homes with attached 3 car garages, completely weather tight with windows, doors, roofing, tyvek and porches in 2 weeks give or take a day. Crazy.. So crews of guys who day in and day out build houses are able to do incredible shit, fast.

Two things I miss, building with my old crew and my youth and those joking moments around the jobsite. I’ll be 60 in 8 days and 5 years I’ll be retiring from being a Boeing Aircraft Mechanic here in Ohio. Just wanted to let you guys know, you bring back great memories of my jobsite days and my youth and all you guys craftsmanship, awesome work. I came across your videos and totally enjoy watching your work. You guys are pretty funny 😆You guys brought up why the carpenter pencils are flat, personally outside of them fitting pretty good in your ear or nailbag chisel slots, I think they are best for doing those 1/4 scribes . The other is mixing your coffee 😁

[@benohman1705]

i dont know why but watching construction videos like this its just so relaxing

[@Azztek1]

It is a great pleasure to watch a crew like yours who seem like best friends work together and it has to be even more gratifying to work with people that after lots of projects you can almost read each others minds which make it so much easier to build a project and still keep the comraderies that have been established over years of together. All in all a great video and I see no short cuts in materials and construction practices. Great job done by all.

[@DominiqueFarmer-jc1ml]

This is straight to the point

Came across this video today and was drawn in as well as the many other viewers. I throughly enjoyed the entire 2 1/2 hours watching every step of the way...very cool to watch the process...I am curious just how long that job was though...thank you SO much for all the work you all did on shooting the build. REALLY REALLY enjoyed it....When I was 14 yrs old my Dad built a four bdr. 2 bath, 2 story addition to our existing tiny house which was basically a weekend cabin. My brother and I were his only crew. From foundation to shingles and ALL the interior as well as plumbing and electrical, paneling, paint and wallpaper...It was an amazing experience I will never forget and I miss that environment SO much... I have not been able to enjoy that kind of work much in my adult life and that stinks...I am now 62 and believing God for my chance to at least oversee some projects in the near future as we build a safe place for those who need it...blessings to you guys!

[@carolsenoga8684]

I didn't check how long the video was at first but man it was wonderful... I wish you were in my country... God given talent. Good workmanship and friendship among you guys. your eye for details!! wow!!!

[@-dystopic-]

God damn you guys are talented! I’ve worked with a lot of builders & have never worked with a crew anywhere near as good as you guys. There was always fuck ups & hold ups, it always felt a little bit chaotic & not methodical like you guys are.

[@LifenSantaBarbara]

I've been an auto mechanic for 20+ years until I threw out my back but at times throughout the years when I was out of work, I would work with my dad building houses or doing additions, remodels etc. , and I loved the work that I did. Hard work for sure but I loved it. That being said, I really enjoyed watching you guys build this awesome house in its beautiful location. Nice work guys!

[@virgilkruse8008]

😊😅😢 I 😂❤myQp

[@gregbartgis8270]

The cool part about these videos Looking back and remembering all the work that went into the house, I feel like I was there 😀 Thanks for these videos and making me feel like part of the crew.

[@richie3659]

Really enjoying these videos. Great to see the genuine care and attention being applied to the homes Matt.

[@sreno0207]

My thought process… -Oh sweet a new Perkins vid! -Oh this build is going to be good! -That looks a lot like the other build site. -I hope this one is huge! -wait a minute….. there’s leaves on the trees! -this is the mountain house build! -ehh I’ll watch it anyway!

[@sappernz]

Same here..I thought i was seeing things..

[@T.E.P..]

I love when u put these long vids together Erik ... just noticed it was published almost a day later

[@bobbybean9133]

Clicked on this just to check it out at first. I ended up watching the entire thing all the way through. You guys did an amazing job on this house! This was possibly the most entertaining home build I have seen on KZbin. I grew up in North Carolina but now call Alaska home. If at any time I make the move back to that area I know who I want to build my next home. Great job to all of you!

[@AhmedshIq]

It's amazing how you guys can do everything by your own! Also your sense of humor makes this hard work a lot easier.. it's never a waste of time to watch this master piece to the end ❤❤

[@danitagoins4574]

That rebar railing was gorgeous. And just so ya know, the brackets made it! Top notch.

[@Sakuma149]

Flat Pencils are used by trim carpenters to leave the perfect gap for baseboards to be installed so that the flooring material gets perfectly tucked under.

[@enkilakasha]

and they are flat to indeed prevent them from rolling, either on a slanted surface, rolling away from you, or underfoot as demonstrated in the video!

[@ZeppinnEU]

That might be a useful coincident, but no shot was that the design idea.

[@hilo4noff1]

We did a similar, 20 by 40 started completely off grid. 3 years later put in a septic system. 3 years later hooked up power. We were so used to living that way our power bills are only 21 bucks a month and 50 a month running the air conditioning during summer. We expanded our catchement to a full size 1000 gallon in ground cistern. Love everything we've done and wondered why we didn't get power sooner. Can't wait to build a garage for all the tools next. Good job guys on your build.

[@gregbrechelt2295]

I like you showing the stuff ups and fixes it makes it real, top job, great team, amazing build, awesome tradesmen. I learned so much thanks a lot.

[@jk3842]

The Perkins crew put entertainment in construction that is why their channel is so much fun to watch. I never miss any episode. Much love from Nigeria.

[@danielanicoletti1356]

C'è troppo esibizionismo in questo video. Ridimensionate i.

[@alexfreer8892]

Thank you so much for editing this long video. Much better than anything on TV at the moment. The commentary and all the effort that goes into putting these videos together for our enjoyment is phenomenal. Thank you so much again best wishes from the UK.

[@jimpepper5560]

You guys reminded me of my partner and I back in the 80s and 90s. We did the best work and laughed all the way. It's a good thing we didn't have gopro and youtube. We'd never have finished anything. Thanks. We were really good too. Jim... and Pete.

[@JohnDoe2.01]

I love the shenanigans and fun you guys show. All that while doing some top-notch work. Makes me wonder how many mistakes you didn't show lol. The house looks great! Laughs were good too. Thanks! I'll keep watching.

[@jennywuornos5809]

I would love to see a collaboration with y’all and stud pack! Go see what they are working on! I’m sure they would love the help!! I love your channel!!!! ❤❤❤

[@electricsandotherstuff5258]

Top tip When using a hole cutter on ply or mdf board, start the hole to mark the circle and then drill a small 1/4 hole just inside the circle. All the sawdust will go down the 1/4 hole. This stops burning and if a cup is put underneath, all the dust will fall into the cup. Ideal in counter tops etc.

[@mattgold2118]

I want more Arlo! I love all the tips and knowledge you all deliver… and often attribute to him! ❤

[@Can_non69]

Seeing Jamie with all his fingers really hits hard man. Be careful fellas. Life can change in an instant.

[@costright]

You guys are top quality. The extra attention is always worth it. You can see that alot of pride goes into work.

[@jonathanscheel1307]

I have never watched a 3 hour video before today but I truly enjoyed it! Thanks for the entertainment guys!

[@sherifusco9913]

Love your work. Where were ya'll when we were building our home.....dang it!!!!! I can see the absolute Love Ya'll have for building homes. Keep up the Fantastic work!!!!

[@highwaypilot]

I'm a retired disabled vet, and need some repairs and a new roof on my home and garage. You guys look like you get along well and have a great time doing what you do, And do one of the best attention to detail jobs I've ever seen...I'll tell you if I could ever afford to hire you guys I would. You don't see that kind of camaraderie here in Hampton Virginia.

[@nickywunderwood]

Jason's face when he realized he spill some glue on Ray is priceless. He always make me laugh and giggles. Every single one of you are very good together. and I love this so much about you. you guys make my hard time going a little earlier. and I really appreciate that.

[@jamesmchugo9422]

The coolest part about this video is how you guys work together. A good crew that can get work done and still have fun is a rare thing. Nice build.

[@pipperxxx]

I used to plumb those remote mountain homes. Loved it! 🤠

[@Fragmentsofmatter]

Love the blocks for drain anchors . Genius. Respect fellas.

[@MarineAlpha]

I actually love watching your video's. I grew up doing construction with my Dad. He died March of 2020. I watch you guys and it brings back memories of stuff we did. Of course we didn't have all them fancy tools. This was back the late 60s and most of the 70s till I went in the service. Thank you for the memories

[@TheTamrock2007]

So enjoyable seeing talented good people coming together and building something beautiful, and having fun along the way.

[@davidr4332]

Simply the best group of hard working men from beginning to end that take so much pride in there work to make the home owners so proud to live in there dream house and make it there home .

[@terrilynn1110]

New to channel. The view and location are spectacular. To the cement vendor. I saw your Wounded Warrior emblem on the truck. We are a first responder family. My husband is 100% service connected Vietnam Vet. Thank both the VA and American public rewnewed support of veterans. Due to advances in field medvac supplies and training and floating hospitals more veterans are surving multiple amputations and worse. Family caregivers of age struggle to provide care. Please keep these families in your prayers. Thank you.

[@lisachisum8330]

Ok, even as a female, I totally cannot believed I watched this whole video. Loved yalls humor, and you seem to have a really good crew! You did a very beautiful job. Too bad you are not in Oklahoma! Great job guys!

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

Why should being a female have anything to do with your interest in construction. Sounds like in your head you are still living in the 1950s or something.

[@808zhu]

You should start building.

[@borghorsa1902]

Awesome home to gather around a campfire at night and listen to some spooky wilderness stories! 😊

[@STYLEE-T]

I think it's y'all's camaraderie that makes ME LOVE WATCHING Y'ALL BUILD. I LOVE IT BROTHERS!
