DAY 3: 26 Rookies Build Timber Frame House in 5 Days

[@daveweber1331]

Another incredibly enjoyable video! I cannot begin to fathom the pressure, and responsibility the Shelter staff carry in this build. The weather factored in heavily; but just making sure that every single joint is accurate, and able to join, when the times comes... It's one thing to build one of these frames with experienced staff and minimal time pressure; quite another to have 26 students that have paid serious money for the education, and the expectations that they bring to the bench... I can't even express the amount of respect I have for the experienced staff there. Wow. Impressive... Just not enough word! Great video shots, drone footage, etc. Keep up the incredible editing, Alyssa - WoW!! :-)

[@scruffy6151]

Better then any tv show or movie very good filming and editing. People are getting to know one another and working as a team in real life. This is why barn raising many yeas ago was a very festival time everyone came together to help in thier own way. This is a once in a life time for them to be working together as one. Thank you Levi for fliming and Alyssa for editing yes Jesse for your hard work.

[@rexg1960]

Levi's interviews are great and the videos are excellent!

[@diannafreespirit]

I started watching about the time you did the ugly truths about living in an RV vid. Now, your videos are one of my favorite parts of my day. For me, you've become as addictive as any soap opera, but ever so much more fun. I tell my friends about you, and tell them I have to check in on my kids. I just love you guys and I'm so excited for you.

[@johnhastings1874]

Levi's video skill is just terrific.

[@GodzillaB210]

Dalek Hat Bob is my spirit animal. That man won my heart the first moment I saw the hat.

[@elliottmanning]

This is absolutely fantastic knowing that somehow these 85 timbers are all going to fit together at the end of the week back in November, 2017 in a snow storm no less !!!

[@weighit]

Levi is the best, I would love to see other movies he might have done. He makes people talk about how they feel, really enjoying this build.

[@terrymiller9558]

Some complain about Levi. I think he is doing a great job!

[@2001DestructionofLies]

i want to sincerely thank you guys for documenting this journey. i've been following for over a year and this so far is the best part for me to be able to watch and see the craftsmanship that goes into a timber frame home.GOOD LUCK in all your future builds and hope you can live comfortably in your new home !!!!!!!!!!

[@gregharris2442]

levi is doing a great job documenting

[@thatdutchguy2882]

Bob's a cool guy. Btw, well done again Levi 👍.

[@toothlessgrin04]

Thanks dutch!🖒

[@rawhideadventures9515]

I'm glad to see the progress and as a long time viewer I appreciate Levi and his camera skills overseeing this project lately. Best of luck.

[@craigmooring2091]

Kudos to Levi's video documentary skills. Dude, you have such a big, genuine smile; it is infectious. I hope youenjoyed this as much as that smile indicates.

[@Levi_Allen]

Craig Mooring - cheers!

[@craigmooring2091]

Back atcha! I just checked out your channel, loved it and, subbed. Did you bring Janelle with you? I just dried my eyes from watching the surprise engagement video.

[@1450JackCade]

The "students" who came stood tall! They should by crazy proud of themselves. Oh yeah, and the shelter crew rocking like pros.

[@monicapttrsn]

Levi you are really doing a great job filming. Excellent! The way you film at times, I think I'm watching a movie.

[@Orchardman53]

Pat is a Master. He makes fine craftwork look effortless.

[@toothlessgrin04]

Yeah he does

[@goldenfarms2934]

That was awesome! You all need to keep Levi around, he’s doing a great job. Thanks for sharing the journey with all of us. 👍🇺🇸

[@gikar1948]

Levi, you are doing marvelous work filming the videos. They capture the spirt of people working together that come from so many different backgrounds. In our troubled world it makes the heart and mind feel good that us funny little human animals can accomplish so much by working together instead of fighting each other.

[@nieronfire7203]

it is really nice to see you guys enjoy the build more. I know it was the stress of getting ready for the work shop but the joy of building your house was disappearing. it is wonderful to see it again

[@farm_in_themiddleofthewood3339]

Building a great and valuable skill set, networking opportunities, lifetime friends and family - PRICELESS! We hope that you all realize the Blessings that being a part of this build brings! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@ozymandias7362]

Finally, i was bracing for another restoration video

[@goldsilverandiamonds]

What a great hands on experience on a real job site for the students. The instructors and school really have done a great thing for their students but also teaching others around the world about this process of building. You can really tell the instructors have a real passion for teaching and the students have a real passion for learning. Great job all.

[@elliem3763]

Levi is doing a great job.

[@raynall3593]

levi is doing a great job filming and showing all the people and what they are doing and hoping to gain from this experience. Such a great feeling you get from all the various people and how, like Jessie said, the thoughts are changing from how is this going up on Friday to wow I cant believe we did that is such a short time. Must be a great feeling. And everyone is having such a good time it seems like, working but also enjoying the experience. This is a good earning film. Cant wait to see the rest.

[@jimhalther2107]

Levi has a phenomenal channel of his own. He is so good at getting the story captured!

[@dballard8660]

Great camera work. Great workshop class production. Great day. The timber frame build is happening! Thanks for bringing us along. Great video.

[@dennybe]

What the world needs now....is more community. You guys rock. The video captured(whether intentional or not) the way you guys have come together in one pursuit/goal. Makes me daydream about when there were no power tools and people roving westward. Brilliant. Like the Amish, but with cameras.

[@JamesYoung61]

Great job Levi, you are really getting the experience across on film and that really is something.

[@clayguy1]

So much to take in... I'm loving this build... I started watching when you guys were digging the trench up to the where the water tanks were going... Man what I wouldn't give to be there helping... Thank you so much for the videos..

[@omnimous69]

I don't know why, but this video got me right in the feels, especially when they were lifting timbers up to the floor...what a long journey to get to this point.

[@just-dl]

yup! I had that "[beep] just got real" feeling when I saw them lifting 'em up. They should put a bell on the lifting ropes...a little jingle to let the crew know another board is going up. I think everyone would get a lift knowing another block of wood is heading up!

[@tomsikes9064]

That was a lot done, as Jessie pointed out once everybody got started,it just flew by. Oh, Levi, great jumping in to the work. When you started hemming & hawing at the invitation/challenge to grab chisel I thought nope,not gonna happen. Then, Yah! There you are doin it! Very cool. I have no aspirations about building my own house. But this is en epochal trip from end to end. Thanks to you all for reviving the American Spirit of Adventure!

[@Barsprojects]

Great job, Levi, filming and getting responses from the folks. Stick around if you can!

[@bornn68]

What a GREAT! Group of people!

[@blight819]

Thank you Levi for filming, It's great that you took it upon yourself to do this task. Many of us across the internet like to see the progress of the he build.

[@poetgirl7766]

PLENTY OF PEOPLE = PLENTY OF ACTION. REALLY GREAT TO SEE THINGS ON THE MOVE.

[@OhioFarmerJake]

After all the prep work, it's pretty cool to see everything come together so quickly.

[@colinblow9231]

Wow, that IH piece at 24:06 the two fella's are carrying has a beautiful pattern on it.

[@colinblow9231]

I hope they put it somewhere it stands out.

[@jameshaighs570]

Started watching you guys 2 weeks ago Watched all of your videos so far Nuff said You guys are great

[@stewart51able]

Everybody is doing a hell of a job...especially LEVI and his videos....

[@pawpawshobbyhomestead4081]

Looks like things are coming together. Don't throw that frame away save it and turn it into a greenhouse with plastic or clear tuff tex panels. Great videos can't wait to see the next one. Take care and stay warm.

[@barstow02]

Awesome job on the videos Levi!

[@Mrcaffinebean]

Gotta tell you, I wasn’t sure about Levi at first but I really like him, great to see a new perspective and I like the end of day reports.

[@robertallen7106]

The dance moves at the end were totally awesome

[@UrsaMinor2010]

Great work by the cameraman to get people out of their shell. And man what a great group of people. Self selected, so not surprising, but good folks!

[@UrsaMinor2010]

Also, way to work in a shot of the sunset over the porta-potty's...

[@guitarrelic]

I'm really enjoying this series of video's. It's getting quite exciting to see if the frame goes together in one go and before any bad weather hits.

[@thebudster1856]

Had the same issue with my garage in a box. After the second failure I covered it with sheet steel directly over the torn fabric. Keep the snow load to a minimum and you will have a good place for outdoor storage. Great Work ..... looking forward to the assembly video.

[@DEEDEEGARRETT1]

I'm loving the video's so much i could almost scream. What a wonderful bunch of people these are. Every one of them. Alyssa does great with recording but my goodness Levi is utterly amazing .

[@HighVoltage1935]

It's a Huge Treat to see timbers being raised up I'm so Excited for you both .................

[@corkey05]

Amazing how well it's coming together - Impressive is the only word I know to describe all you've done!

[@MostynFaulkner]

The weather gods are blessing you so far. I know the weather gets worse but no pain no gain. Fun video. 🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕

[@pb1596]

Levi You are doing a great job. Keep it going.

[@seansysig]

Anticipation is at critical mass!! Can't wait for the next video.

[@deej19142]

The guy doing the mustache rub in the food line, that was the best!!!

[@just-dl]

the fastest way to annoy that guy...ask him which participants are his parents..... :-)

[@barbarahogan4796]

Good cameraman. Hardworking people for sure.👍

[@specex]

Well, another great day of progress. Amazing that the weather is holding up so well for you guys, but you can feel the anxiety over it getting worse. Let's hope it stays as nice as it has been! I can't be the only one waiting anxiously for the next episode. It was weird that we had to wait for a day for #3. I kept checking KZbin like a junkie. Good work everyone!

[@specex]

Not complaining, I love this channel, and of course, editing takes time. For me, it's sort of like binge-watching something on Netflix to get caught up with a show, then having to wait a week for each episode of the regular season. Anticipation...

[@larrybelken7568]

I've been following you for almost two years am truly amazed at what you have done. The biggest thing is how you guys work so well together. My spouse and I couldn't have done it. The best of luck and I will keep on watching your journey! I have been in the construction industry my whole life, but you guys inspire me to go do something like this.

[@tkrabec]

@Leftcoast AMAZING, simply AMAZING filmography!! Alyssa and Jesse, thank you for sharing your journey

[@davidmicheletti6292]

I know this build is both demanding and rewarding for you. For the rest of us it is inspiration.

[@carolynbeckman6607]

Another great one Jessie feel better take the time to rest and heal

[@charlottewillis9252]

Wow! So much going on. Everyone looks so happy that includes both of you. What a blessing to have 26 others helping with your beautiful house and they are learning as they go. Don't think it could be any better 😊

[@charlottewillis9252]

Forgot to mention Levi - he has been awesome! What a great help so you can do whatever.

[@martijnheeroma5492]

Thanks Levi, great movie.

[@unicusDOTcom]

Excellent video quality, that is what I like.

[@robertswann4269]

Such an awesome and joyful moment to watch the first beams lifted onto the roof of the garage. Congratulations!

[@sarahp3046]

you had me with the hot tub,you were totaly right!you really are doing it,you rock!

[@markrunion1769]

Jesse, Alyssa, Levi, and the all the team - you guys are awesome! Thanks for sharing the experience.

[@haroltabb4599]

Love the series!! Been watching for months. Have really missed videos last couple days!!Tool restore,didnt make up for it! Keep up great job! Thx!!!

[@heidim6468]

love the video guy thanks for being there. The timber frame crew all seem so so great. I hope it doesn't snow yet. Good luck everyone

[@toothlessgrin04]

Heidi M Levi 's the best! His interviews make for a great vid. Plus it allowed Jessie and Alyssa to associate with all us fanboys

[@TAG-1984]

Very enjoyable to watch!

[@BADHABIT571]

Bob Needs his own You Tube Channel ! ! !

[@Levi_Allen]

I know right!

[@toothlessgrin04]

Bwahahahhahah! I hate being on camera 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@htmagic]

Those folks are amazing! If I ever decide to build a timber frame house, I will definitely contact the Shelter Institute. Zip ties and duct tape for the RV cover.

[@Kenfitzpat]

Can’t wait till the Friday build. I find myself getting so excited for you all. There has to be a feeling of accomplishment for everyone learning new skills and seeing them come together. Watching and waiting.

[@jduffy38]

Its a Win/Win. Students get some real world expierence and it gave you guys a long needed break while all the beams get cut for the final fra me. Awesome!!

[@chelescreations3638]

Levy did a great job. thank you for documenting everything so well. great choice Alyssa and Jessie

[@bqqstin]

Wow, the 8.5" joke was absolutely priceless

[@vaalrus]

I’ve replaced those Shelterlogic covers twice. They’ll sell you a so-called “Heavy Duty” cover for twice the money… In the end I just bought a “cheap” tarp and replaced it by weaving a cord through the grommets and around the posts. It should hold for the winter untill I can build a shed with a real roof. Or I might find some surplus/reclaimed steel roofing and just cover the frame with that.

[@Clipbrd]

Amazing how fast this is going

[@steveeldridge5400]

Brilliant video, one of the best yet!

[@maneuschwander6394]

Love the drone Ariel shots, so cool to see so much all at the same time. It would be a great class to be a part of. So Fun!

[@feliciawright7783]

Great job everyone!!! And I love blueberries disco dance!!

[@davericard]

Levi is doing a great job on the camera! I’ve been waiting for these videos for like a year! So glad they’re finally here. Looking great guys!

[@Tom_Err]

People having fun on a construction site is a good sign.

[@jayschoepp5364]

As am Empath I feel so much positive energy from this group, your home is blessed.

[@laman491]

As a fellow one, I feel the same

[@mikewilson3169]

OMG! That's eight and half inches? Dying here.

[@boominrick1987]

I dont think the camera guy got it.

[@jamie55321417058]

I really think he didn't get it.

[@mikewilson3169]

Oh , I think Levi got it. The line got edited in. Smoothly done, Levi. Well played.

[@joehenderson658]

I really have been enjoying these videos. I'm really looking forward to when the timbers start coming together. I'm sure the teamwork of erecting them will also be interesting. I hope the weather doesn't impede this project.

[@southernladywithmanyhats7428]

LOL love the human cubes of wood. So cute

[@neonc2c2]

Love it Jesse said need to get RV in garage. Can't wait to see if it fits with the overhead garage doors on. Might be a tight fit.

[@michaelmoney9445]

It's getting exciting now, all that hard work and all working together for the common goal. Great to watch!!

[@3flashcan]

Hey Guys , Have given you all crap . For spoiling it so much for us KZbin watches only . But when they started pulling up the timbers . Man it almost made me cry . I was so happy to see the start of you all raising the post on the new house . Can't wait for next step .

[@blazegbs]

3flashcan ii

[@coreywells4830]

the one guy brings up a really good point, he started watching and is now doing. Learning from mistakes made while you are on this journey. That is a really cool part of your channel, you do not mind showing your mistakes. It is all about learning and doing it your way.

[@bobn1378]

I love the Disco Dancing Minion AT the end

[@jg-xx8oh]

Great video, there is still hope for mankind great workmanship and comradery

[@jackpatteeuw9244]

Impressive that completed timber are moving up before the end of day 3 !

[@kcaskmelater5079]

Awesome to see how well the class came together

[@lbjackson5179]

I always miss out on the fun.....LOL. Great Vlog. I'd love to be there. #Wood is my friend. #Tools are my friends

[@dballard8660]

The Shelter Institute crew seems to be right on top of things. You think maybe this is not their first rodeo.

[@rico1319]

Crazy disco dancers! I love to see people from all over come together. Y’all doing a fantastic job keep up the good work. 👍 PS. Levi is doing a fantastic job👍

[@monicapttrsn]

If I get the chance, I'll take the class at the Shelter Institute.

[@humbleheart7196]

I don’t look back and regret my decisions, but not attending the workshop is something I wish I would have done. The inclement weather forces you to focus more closely to the details and work together. Looks like the team has come together quite well. Congrats to all who have participated.

[@jrgenthomsen8692]

Nice filming, and editing lot of walk....beauty....Thanks

[@damonsmith7297]

It's fixing to get extra interesting.
