Planing Douglas Fir Timber Frame House (Beautiful)

[@Ray_Sellner]

Nice to see his attitude improve when her parents arrived. Also, for the folks watching this, wear your safety glasses when you work. Awesome to see her parents there for support.

[@rosco1024training]

Just as i suspected, you have super nice Mum and Dad. Respect to you all. Love your vblog. Eagerly await every episode with passion. Love every minute every second. Always entertaining. Have followed you from the start, watched your failures and your triumphs. "BRILLIANT" well done .Thank you so much.

[@dthempel]

Happy for you guys. Makes me miss my Dad, particularly with his birthday coming up in two days. :( He would have loved this channel and loved tools, digging into new projects, and helping with home improvement.

[@sxwatson]

Living in the desert of Arizona I get super envious of the beautiful cold mornings you are experiencing. Cold weather clothes, seeing your breath, frost on everything... ah. I love the cold weather and I'm constantly trying to convince wife/kids we should relocate to somewhere that has actual seasons instead of hot and a little less hot. Thanks for the great videos, appreciate seeing these every day.

[@louisegeorge3132]

I've watched your videos from the beginning and enjoy the quality and content, now that I have discovered how to add comments, I just want to say how impressed I am with your work ethic and respect for each other. You must be exhausted at this point but I know you have got this!!

[@tommathews3964]

Y'all have been a positive addition to the local population for the area vendors! Spreading money to everybody! I like it! Things happen constantly on a jobsite, that's for sure!

[@OurCabinInThewoods]

We used to spray on a rag silicone spray and wipe bottom of plainer and skil saws every hour ended our problems. Sap never stuck to plainer and move easy on wood.

[@kathyhennigan7807]

Parents are wonderful help! Glad they got included in this video.

[@jamesgow3593]

Alyssa is one hell of a great partner to work with, She wants to learn everything and is very meticulous about her work 👏

[@uptheos6916]

Time of watching you have 59 thumbs down - bloody ridiculous - this is a 10 out of 10 video, great going Alyssa. 👍

[@donna30044]

"If it doesn't end right now, she didn't end it right now." Love it when Jesse says things like that! 😊

[@CemlynJones1952]

as a father to a 38 yr old woman who would never let a man beat her I know what it must be like for Alyssa's dad to see what she is achieving. He must be so proud of his little girl.

[@EagleRun23]

This edit is great! the back and fourth tells a great story. I know it was a lot of work!

[@PghFlip]

Hello mama and papa Alyssa!! I'll bet you're proud of your daughter!

[@relic21ja]

watching you two build and problem solve gives me hope for the human race , yall do a good job i know your home will be awesome stay safe and warn and God is blessing you both

[@tonycarruthers9556]

Its been a pleasure watching both of you on a steep learning curve ,hard work never killed anyone ,but you two have come close ,please be carefull love your cat.

[@johncollado1151]

Nice to meet your parents, good people!

[@RaveemZafarChoudhry]

When u have haters just remember ton of people but hurt because they accomplish nothing meaningful in their life I am learning so much from ur video it’s adding so much value keep posting

[@lloydr.6271]

Go to bed and get some rest. We work out your post times every morning here in Wales, love the videos, it's how we start every day but your rest is more important. By the way, our timber guy is here today with heavy equipment from the National Park to drag some large felled pines up the hill to where we can mill them. We have only five , respect for all you've managed. Thanks for all the help. Best wishes Lloyd and Donna, Wales.

[@RichardWylie68]

Making it happen. Love the family pitching in. "Beast mode"

[@richfiryn]

I start each morning with a cup of coffee and your next video. This is just really interesting to watch.

[@rodneyhendrix1292]

Alyssa,. That music fits you just right ROCK for a ROCK STAR!!!!!

[@ProfessorDIY]

Alyssa, you are awesome! Both of you deserve a metal, you are inspiring, do not let the armchair critics bother you. Love your channel have been following you from day one.

[@barthamburg4351]

I can never understand why anyone would thumbs down your videos? It is bizarre.

[@toffer99]

Some people have built-in hate, like static electricity and they have to discharge it to ground somewhere. Some discharge it here and you'll see them in the comments. They're all over KZbin, polluting it.

[@William_Hada]

Bart Hamburg. There is always a few of those kind of people in a population. When you compare their numbers to the 200,000 plus subscribers it is a very small percentage. But, YT proves that they do indeed exist.

[@joelbrown2650]

Supper cool that the Parents are there and are part of it!! Enjoy all the videos!!

[@hxj0bow]

Love the music during the fast forward wood working portions, planers at 64 frames a second sound like angry bees. Alissa you are a vid editing wizard keep up the good work.

[@alec4672]

You should look around at companies that deliver fuel to farms. They'll offer off road diesel and off road gas which means it doesn't have a road tax on it. So you can't use it in your truck to drive to town but it's totally legal to use in your generators and backhoe on your property. It's usually around 25% cheaper and it's delivered!

[@common_sense_helps5607]

That would mean that they would also need to get a tank as well right? I don't think a company like that would drive out there and deliver anything under 100 gallons right? Or am I mistaken?

[@alec4672]

Common_sense_helps Depends on the company. My neighbor down the road has a 500 gallon gas tank and a 2000 gallon diesel tank (farmer of course) so when the delivery man comes to his place I swing buy and get my 55 gallon gas and 55 gallon diesel tanks filled. (Standard pipe thread on a 55 gallon drum so just add a ball valve and tip it on its side.) I think the company he uses is a 100 gallon minium yes but that's "total purchased fuel" so 55 gallons of diesel and 55 of gas I'd be eligible but I don't want to seem like a bother lol.

[@propylaeen]

Your Parents look so nice and loving you! Wow. I'm always impressed seeing families in harmony :)

[@Paradigm2012Shift]

Amazing work. Best wishes. "This [house] will outlast money" --- Logger (Very profound statement)

[@Soldier4YHVHGaming]

Frickin' Loving This Channel Since Day One!!!!

[@airdrop1670]

It's funny when you look at all those log cabins and barns put together with hand and axe an the long years the stood the test of time , amazing .

[@irishnd98]

That sunset view from the garage was so nice...

[@sweetrobinson1]

Those mountains are gorgeous in the background

[@scottsluggosrule4670]

My back hurts just watching you plane....you go girl!

[@bill45a1]

Wow, what cool parents!!!

[@VinceW187]

Nice editing on this video, always a pleasure watching your videos

[@TheWatchit45]

Alyssa you rock! Looks like you really have the hang of the planer. Great job guys, love watching the process.

[@armadillerff]

I am totally enjoying how click-batey you can make your titles. Very very creative. Love all your videos and watching y'all's progress.

[@farm_in_themiddleofthewood3339]

WOW! Fist pump to you all! How absolutely WONDERFUL that you are all working together and taking up the various tasks that so need to be done to come in on time! Give each other a great big hug, you will never regret the time that you are spending together! God Bless!

[@markn2904]

You will do it! The video really conveyed the chaos. Thanks for sharing.

[@teknasutra]

Glad to see that the sense wire and regulator led to good results. Another great reason for a leaf blower comes in handy.

[@Bill-cg6oh]

good to see the saga continuing, glad your parents are not camera shy. keep up the great work and look forward to many more video's. i know i commented about solar panels on the roof but you could also use wind and a alternator and or a creek generator, or just build a permanent solar stand on left over posts. would be cool to get a brief sneak peak peak at where you are today on construction but i know you have weeks of video's saved for editing. im definitely watching till the end and then some i always watch your video's daily and look forward to them.

[@nagualdesign]

It's wonderful to see Jesse's confidence in and appreciation of Alyssa grow and grow. A few weeks ago (video time) people were taking bets on not whether but _when_ they'd end up splitting up! It's heartening to see that since they took a short break from filming/uploading they appear to have gone from strength to strength. Although I never doubted it for a second. In fact I'm sure someone owes me $10 to that effect! :-)

[@BOwens1952]

So enjoying watching you build your home. You make me tired!!!!

[@rjb77]

Another productive day... at least from what I've seen. I'm sure you all are glad some parents are there helping with things.

[@oneops]

Great work on the video editing Alyssa!

[@williamkirkland265]

Who said girls can't plane. Great job. Glad to see you might be eating better now your Mum & Dad are here also make sure your getting enough sleep.

[@0toeknee0]

You guys are an amazing team. You are both SO capable. Hard/competent workers.

[@dieselmax8606]

You both should feel very proud of yourselves, to see young folks work like you two have in the past few months is unbelievable. More young people would have more than they do if they would get up from the computer and actual go outside and indulge in some physical work. You will have many stories to tell your own children and your parents will have to tell their friends. I know they are as proud as can be in all you have accomplished this far and will further accomplish in your work shop. Remember dont push to hard and injure yourselves ...rest is your best friend right now.

[@torstenb5248]

Behind every successful man stands a surprised mother-in-law.

[@justinolfart5431]

Torsten B I just love that never heard that before

[@QuigleysBees]

At 16 minutes into the video Alisa noticed fraying wood fibers. I think the cause may be the direction she is planing the beam. Notice the growth lines on the side of a beam and take a pass with the planer where the lines are going up hill on the beam side. That way you will be planing "with" the grain. You guys have amazing energy...ah to be young and in love again.

[@trickcyclists]

That's right, even a high speed router can do this sometimes.. still, it's early days, she'll learn. Nobody knows everything do they.. and she's doing pretty well so far at learning what's what.

[@anthonygalante729]

Bingo you got it she's planning against the grain

[@QuigleysBees]

Sorry about spelling your name wrong Alyssa

[@acude81]

You guys are rocking it you all make a great team!!!

[@markduncan6690]

Looking totally cool " manning" that planner LLysa! You are Champion!

[@RoryM07]

Must smell so good in the garage! All those shavings

[@Soldier4YHVHGaming]

RoryM07 Lol! I love that smell!!!

[@FoxyWakes]

Nice to see you with your lovely parents, keep up the inspiring work.although now in my late sixties and not about to build anything myself now, I still find and look forward to seeing your updates here in South Wales UK👍

[@trickcyclists]

I'm mid sixties and in Yorkshire, and I love these videos too, lol. What a smashing couple.

[@vwseramas]

Loved the speed eating scene! Can hardly wait for the next video.

[@atmm89]

hey dad!, I bet you are proud of your girl

[@stephenhunter70]

Basically a diode conducts power in one direction only, when it's working correctly. By the sounds of it the diode in the old alternator was intermittently conducting power in both directions, and it finally died in such a way that it was conducting power in both directions all the time.

[@jayherde0]

A BIG thumbs up for Mom and Dad :-D

[@fireghost2978]

Great progress guysss....keep going.......i know u guys r tired....keep fighting.....

[@lyles637]

Years ago we had an older tractor and we had many battery issues, was it a battery, was it the generator/alternator? In the end what really fixed the problems was changing the all the battery cables. I believe we had 2 12V batteries hooked in parallel. It was an old diesel Case tractor probably manufactured in the 70's

[@TheAndyJBall]

DO NOT let these emerging doubts overcome you. Negativity is a developing train, keep it positive. No one said it would be easy and I believe you two are stronger and bigger than the house, a dream can never be bigger than its owner.

[@timothyluzier4355]

SO WHERE ARE THE SHOCKED PARENTS???? I didn't see anything shocking, EXCEPT for the lack of PPE on Alyssa. I love you guys, but HATE the stupid clickbait. We watch you for the content and the journey, please don't treat your viewers like we are stupid.

[@CubasAutomotive]

Really cute shots with the family! That's awesome that they were able to come through and help! 😊😊

[@garrech120001]

You and your Dad working together. ❤️

[@jtasker100]

Nice to see Alyssa will a massive smile again

[@chamilton9182]

Great vid.... very true of any project of this magnitude.... gotta stop and repair stuff and spend a butt load of money that you hadn't planned on. Alyssa, your parents are adorable. It was so nice of them to come help..... at the end, your poor dad is walking around like "everyone has a planer but me". I am sure they are so proud of you. Great job guys and as always, thanks for taking us along on your journey.

[@jan-roarbernhardsen7626]

Its interesting how many people that are looking at this videos day after day, and still only have bad things to say. About spending money, divorce, woods and a lot of things . I build my house in the 80`s and i did it with my wife. Its now 2017 and we are still married. There is no rule that you have to look at videos that you dont like, and if you dont have something nice to say, keep it for your self. Puhhh People ask why we have wars. Just read the comments on KZbin and you will understand why

[@schwags1969]

Well said.

[@mohammedahmed-qw2um]

yah wait till they done it and watch the same people calling their names like champs

[@AndreRMeyer]

that is just the way it is... one size fits all, normal.

[@brennanlynch12]

Considering how much fuel you use any thought on getting a fuel transfer tank for the back of your pickup truck? Seems like it would save you a lot of time an effort.

[@allforthemama]

Is Jesse the luckiest man alive?

[@dekethree]

Jesse is looking fit and trim as your build goes on. Moral of that story is if you want to trim down, build a timber home!

[@laughinghay1090]

I hope you know that alternator is just a mid 70's - late 80's Chevrolet and can be bought new for $35

[@kenzpenz]

I'm curious, where ?

[@laughinghay1090]

Kenneth Bartlett autozone, advance, Oriley's, NAPA

[@verdivigilante2777]

SAFETY, SAFETY, SAFETY! Eye protection, Hair Tie, Keep the sawdust down. probably a dust mask too. I know its a pain in the butt, however, your get used to it, and an injury or burning your new home down are worse.

[@hisimagenme]

Wahhooo! Mom's and Dad's rock! You guys rock! Finally a video that my abs didn't hurt trying to sympathy push my energy your way! Not that I mind, but I'd rather be there to put the physical effort into action! FYI, hubby and I used to live in Kalispell, Mt. After watching all your footage and your last video of 'a day off', we're pretty sure we know the area ya all settled in! God how we miss it! The Yaak looked so good, it will always be home to us!

[@randallshular5362]

Now that was a cool video, I liked it !

[@annettesmith6241]

Oh wow, it must be so good to have some extra help. And to see your folks and have nice meals and Bugaboo is happy to eat I'm sure.

[@campoman1681]

Your videos give me so much pleasure. Great to see your parents on site. I hope to follow in your footsteps with my family too.

[@alyjiyu]

Such a tremendously useful series! Am drooling over your great tools & enjoying the valuable education watching you all build your home... But I wince that you're not wearing any safety glasses and hearing protection. That's very risky! With many close calls, all it takes is one split-second mishap to give you cause for regret. Please be mindful of that! All that sawdust and high-pitched blade squealing is unnecessarily stressful on top of a long day's of hard work, also. Just saying... Am so amazed, though, by your perseverance and work ethic!👍 I can think of no deeper feeling of accomplishment...it's so primal what you're doing. Love this and bless you very much!

[@steved8038]

So I take it that when its meal time you have chips with everything ,nice to see you getting some help.

[@DavidGarcia-nw3xu]

If there's one thing I've learned about having guests over my house, is don't complain about money issues. It just makes your guests feel like a burden.

[@chartle1]

I think this is a special situation and its not money issues, its telling people how much money it costs to build a home and that you can easily spend 5 grand in one day.

[@DavidGarcia-nw3xu]

Sounds more like a rant than a lesson in managing your financial problems.

[@samba3403]

I have built a lot of timber frames a 64th is like .4 of a mm or 400 micron i dont think i would be to concerned with an 8th unless its a joint. Use a hand saw if you want better accuracy

[@cuttingtooldesigner]

If you need to buy a backhoe, buying a Case is always your best investment. Even if you buy an old 530 from the early 60's you can still find parts for them. I bought a 71 580CK this year and finding parts is not that bad. So, wise choice you made on the 580K. Keep up the great work and you'll have your dream house soon.

[@Barfotadan]

Great video guys! I liked the editing a lot :).

[@rasmuskurten8455]

Thank you yet again for another great video!

[@emtrik78]

Love your guys videos.

[@raggety7017]

Just a suggestion. Use a wax candle (clear/white) and scribble (like you would with a crayon) on the base plate of the planer. It helps it to slide over sappy wood. Doing it after every cut should suffice.

[@brucemaley]

Clean the pitch off the Planner with diesel fuel. Then coat the whole bottom with paste wax. Give it a couple coats it will help cut down on the amount of pitch the sticks to the bottom.

[@kincas7750]

bruce maley ,

[@tompip7959]

Jesse ,Please next time you go in to town stop by the auto parts store and get a battery disconnect switch so you can disconnect the battery every night . just trying to help

[@Remius106]

Great video... Parents, love em... Dad's 5 hour yep, wow...!!

[@gman3725]

A weak battery will eventually burn out the alternator. It has to work overtime to try to charge the defective battery.

[@Alex-yk6he]

Love your videos!!! You guys rock!

[@remcovanvliet3018]

You might want to get those backhoe tires filled with tireslime. That way you only have to periodically check the tires for screws, take them out and keep right on trucking. The slime will seal the punctures while you keep working.

[@scottbenhart7852]

Remco van Vliet Are those tires big enough to fill with with foam or water? I️ know I’m some cases with big machinery they do something like that

[@bornn68]

Another GREAT! video.

[@melissamcelfresh8303]

We live by Glacier NP and go to Cabela's alot, too bad we didn't know we could have brought it to you.... giving me a reason to see my family in Idaho :)

[@BOwens1952]

Jesse, Alyssa was asking for your help to move those beams..... take care of your wife!

[@tonysullivan6474]

Hey, Jesse just check the voltage at the battery when the tractor is running it should read about 14 volts anything lower than that means that the alt is bad providing that it is on a 12-volt system.

[@funnnyfarm1]

The best and easiest way to check an alternator is, put a screwdriver on the face of the alternator pulley when running. There should be a magitizem at the pulley that means the alternator is working. To check the regulator. Check that there is 13.5 or 14.5 at the battery. Thanks for the awesome videos and Life experiences. I live in Spokane and would like stop by, would that be OK? But where are you located at? funnnyfarm

[@gordonwilloughby8793]

Spray silicone spray on the bottom of the planer. It will make it slide easier and help to keep the pitch from sticking.

[@gordonwilloughby8793]

A good grade of silicone can by wiped after applying and dry on leaving the surface slippery. Wax will work too. My saw table kept rusting. I cleaned the rust off with sandpaper and wire brush. Silicone helped to prevent rust but the last time I put a two coat of polyurethane on it. It worked great. Hasn't rusted since.

[@stargazer3212]

Something think about. Get a Leaf blower for saw dust removal. when you can't use the Generator. Keep up the great work and you will get it done

[@waderue]

on any use stuff , you always have fix some thing , and yes getting part should be a key to your buying it
