What you talking about on my end it shows that you were able to put up a wall in less than 30 minutes so at that rate the house should be done before the end of the night lol 👍 . Looking great keep up the great work you guys

[@TKCL]

Lol, that's funny!

I agree!

[@gaylewatkins4685]

Editing another video now!

[@crookedrowfarm6100]

Cut all your floor plates and top plates for a couple of sections one time. Set them in place and then pull your 16" on centers at one time. This will speed up progress.

[@TKCL]

I think you are correct! Thanks

[@garyrose7428]

Hi Andrew. The time you take to go through the details is great and informative. I don't mind the 30 minute videos when they are filled with good info. Thanks to you and Tiffany!!! I hope the plants are recovering.

[@janicegranier2281]

Love watching the build! I know like us, y'all have a lot of hurricanes and building codes are a lot more strict. I live in South Texas on the gulf and when I had my home built it had to right on code. If not, redo! We had Hurricane Harvey come in about 13 miles from our town. We still have families that has not fixed there homes yet. I know, crazy isn't it! Thank God, I did not have any damage to my home. I know your home is gonna look great, so keep on building and I promise to keep on watching! Lol

[@TKCL]

Thank you very much! Yes we are in a hurricane zone and required to build to specific wind codes.

If you’re game for the extra time it’s going to take you to film and edit longer videos, I think most people are asking for the details. One of the things I like about your videos is you give excellent descriptions AND you don’t repeat things over and over like some creators do. Your videos are excellently made! Please know you’re appreciated!

Glad to see Tiffany doing the tool thing that is great. You may have to get a pink tool box lol. On your window frame you did good. I nail Jack stud to king stud and put them in at same time. Nice to see you work together.

You should put a mini split heat pump in for your AC. Very efficient

[@TKCL]

Yes but they do have some drawbacks. I met with my second AC installer today

[@RealWithClagett]

Agree on a window unit in a bedroom. Particularly in hurricane zones.

[@TKCL]

We discovered how valuable it was years ago with a small generator. When without power for days due to storms (especially when hot), being able to have a room to rest and cool off was a God send!

[@MsBee777]

I prefer the longer videos with more details. I really appreciate the journey. I am disabled, widowed & miss living on the land. It's such a pleasure to watch your uploads. Thanks for sharing. Sincerely, from British Columbia, Canada. (west coast, pacific time zone) most pleasant province to live in but most expensive too.

[@chrisy939]

I just want you to know I notice your attention to detail in producing a professional video.. That 500ft air hose so we can’t hear compressor.. Lol The way those walls slide snugly between those posts after all those measurements and cuts is amazing. You da man.

[@TKCL]

Believe it or not (maybe you were serious) I did go buy extra air hose to keep the compressor out of the picture. I have a pancake compressor that would be running often on this build. My big shop compressor is better suited and doesn't ruin recording with noise. Good catch!

[@bradleyrupska4988]

My first real construction job was a home framer. Now that was over 20 plus years ago. I have never had to add metal straps to any window headers. But I also used 2x10 headers! I would have tied the top plate in with these metal straps.

[@TKCL]

Walls are not tied to the roof, so no uplift. I still don't understand why I need any straps.

[@WoodDuxWill]

Looking great y’all! I like the details and teaching parts of the videos for sure!

[@TKCL]

Thank you very much

[@ShaneZettelmier]

I’m surprised your plans called for so many headers, usually in a pole barn style construction or post frame construction the walls aren’t loadbearing so the headers aren’t needed. Are you putting a separate roof on the house even under the pole barn roof? I like that you resolve an issue by choosing the option to go overboard, I tend to do the same, it just makes more sense to me, it might cost a little more but you don’t have to go back and fix it later.

[@TKCL]

Nope! We've been asking the same questions.

[@TKCL]

Thank you for the feedback

[@smashdaworld5916]

It is very interesting they wanted you to lag studs to the posts, once you lag at the top and the bottom that stud is two blocks with minimal added strength past. These are your added studs as well

[@TKCL]

What I like about all the extra lags is if the post were to ever rot off or have some major issue. It's tied on both side and carrying force via the suds to the footer. That could buy some time for a tear out and replacement.

[@HotRodDave]

You can't please everyone so just do what you want.

[@TKCL]

Boy is that the truth! Thanks

[@Zeppy007]

Nice video Andrew! Don't forget that insulation for the bottom plate that you forgot to install on the first wall that you said you were going to correct, I think you may have forgot!

All straps do get in the way, I'm not a fan of them. But code requires them in a lot of spots. Thanks for watching

your headers will carry attic load. roof load will transfer to 6 x 6 pole structure . you are doing fine. exterior sheeting is most important for structural integrity. Interior sheetrock can start from anywhere in a room 16 inch o/c

I'm enjoying the videos! Appreciate the details. Not trying to be that guy, but one quick reminder. Be careful where you place your off hand when your are nailing your studs to the top and bottom plate. I noticed one time your hand was in the danger zone. I would hate for a nail come out the side of one of those studs and send you to the ER. 😬 Keep up the great content.

[@TKCL]

You are correct! Thanks

[@jeremiahs45]

Looking good you two. The header strap. I want to say all the way to the top plate but can not remember for sure though

[@TKCL]

It's a tough one to figure out

[@brianfletcher7942]

Just talking it through. During a wind shear event if the wind uplifts the house and the strap is only connected to the header, then the top plates could potentially be lifted off causing damage. The hurricane strapping is a system. Seems that attaching the top plates as well and then strapping the roof to the poles would be necessary as well. In retrospect , did the poles get attached to the slab with perpendicularly attached rebar to prevent wind uplift from yanking the poles from the footers? Just thinking out loud. Great job guys.

[@jeremiahs45]

@@brianfletcher7942 yes the poles had opposing rods. Looked like about a foot apart. It’s going to take a lot to pull those poles out

[@TKCL]

Correct, those poles are staked with 5/8 rebar, buried 5ft deep and poured into concrete. There is technically no uplift on the wall top plates, just the poles themselves.

[@roberthermsen724]

I love the details you are teaching and being too long is not a problem. Do yourself a favor, working on concrete get yourself a pair of knee pads. Watch over the course of the building of your house how comfortable Tiffany gets with working with the power tools. God bless your house build

[@TKCL]

I do need a set of knee pads. Thanks for watching, God bless

[@davewallace.8303]

I know it’s a minor point, but with applying glue it’s a great idea to smooth it out to achieve maximum coverage when laminating headers a d beams.

[@TKCL]

A very good point!

[@mackjenkins7721]

Nice teamwork I see building this nice house. Man that was awesome seeing Tiffany working those tools. She's definitely helping building the house. I just got one question? Beginning of the video did I see bullet with a tool belt on his back. "LOL" the house is coming along. Andrew you can make a video that's 5 hours long and I still watch it. I wouldn't mind the details but if it's faster without it I'm cool with that too as long as you making videos I'm happy. Take it easy man don't work too hard.

[@richardeustice1010]

I noticed on the last video you did not use any barrier between your bottom sill and concrete, and it happened here too. Is this not required in your area? Even so I think for the cost it is well worth the extra protection to try and keep out the bugs and moisture, IMO, love your videos

[@DeanFamilyAcres]

Great detailing. We appreciate both styles of videos. Sometimes it's hard to have enough time to watch all of a long video without jumping ahead and possibly missing something. Would a mini-split unit not be more efficient than a window unit?

[@TKCL]

Mini splits are nice, but way more money than a window unit. Maybe one day we might be able to get one, but we need to watch money right now with everything being so expensive.

[@DeanFamilyAcres]

@@TKCL Totally understand that. Materials are currently way overpriced. I wasn't sure if a mini-split was that much more efficient or not. Price points are certainly different.

[@TKCL]

Efficient? Probably more yes, but I can say our electricity bill went way down when running the window unit at our last house. Being able to keep the house temperature up at night and just cool the bedroom saved us tremendously. We would literally have electricity bills under a 100 dollars during certain times of the year, and that was with a old construction home.

[@darylcampbell3244]

Instead of a window unit checkout mini split AC. Way more effective on coast to run.

I have, but they are quite a bit more money, maybe one day we might consider one.
