Man i wish these videos were longer some days😂 i could watch you guys for 40 mins no problem haha

[@terryhayward7905]

I could sit here for hours watching a full house build start to finish and never be bored. I love work, I can watch it for hours

[@patrickgreen2361]

I really enjoy watching when they compose the entire builds into a single video.

[@TheZenyaNova]

Lucky they do upload a timelapse version of their finished builds. I’ve binged a few even after watching the episodic ones.

[@craiglongmuir154]

I agree could watch all day

[@MHolt3573]

I totally agree

[@michaeldavis7980]

“How many FOOT pounds…?” 😂😂😂 Jamie is the best! I laughed out loud uncontrollably hearing that and seeing his mischievous smile as he said it. Eric’s reaction is just like a brother! I love this channel! 👍🏾👏🏾 Keep it up, guys!

[@vemundmellevold3203]

I was waiting for the "three-giometry" joke 😂

[@DumbfoundedMadman]

9:23 *Puts 18 nails into a ~2 foot triangle of sheathing* "That should hold it." 🤣🤣

[@sniperfi4532]

Some say if the house falls down the only thing left standing will be that piece of sheathing.

[@bendtsengaming7390]

😂😂

[@QBRX]

Shoulda glued it too.

[@carolewarner101]

🤣@@QBRX

[@justinscott7492]

Real dads would've tapped it and said "That ain't goin' anywhere"

[@kungfujesus7]

"somebody was diggin dirt with your sawsall" cutscene and I'm spitting out my drink 😂😂

[@christianpoynter7971]

Hi Arlo! Missed seeing you around!

[@jxchamb]

As much as I enjoy new builds, I love remodels even more. Reminds of watching This Old House with my dad back the 80's.

[@debby8428]

I agree!

[@bmacier]

Always loved your guys’ natural style of bringing folks along for the build vs being a “host” or “presenter” like so many others. Makes it so easy to feel like you’re a part of the crew vs a crowd member.

[@kenwillis8487]

We built a fire over the hole to be dug using a fire ring b4 we started morning chores! By the time we were ready to start digging we would move the fire over but keep it going so if we got a foot down and hit frost again then we place the fire in the hole by shoveling hot could from the fire ring into the hole and adding fatty pine and cedar ( both burn really hot ) then take a break to warm up over the fire and resume digging once the first hole was completely dug the second was completely thawed from the fire ring being on it longer! That was in northern Washington state near the Canadian border!

[@carolewarner101]

Brilliant! I loved multi-dimensional solutions. Solved the digging in winter frozen soil problem, kept you warm, AND provided a camp fire aesthetic to enjoy over lunch!

[@zacberes6647]

“Or a carpenter advantage.” might be Jamie’s best line ever

[@tmoss7122]

Jaime’s jokes and puns add so much character! I would be a shame to eliminate that dynamic.

[@QBRX]

He's a character alright.

[@reba6500]

Thanks for being "family friendly" The videos are great.

[@SuperPancake06]

I saw Arlo's wooden boat hat. We've gotta see the boat he's building now.

[@martyhanks5977]

Welcome to my world!! Home RENO!! Always a surprise and changes every job you go to!! Its a WAY different work experience than building new. A blessing and a curse...but never dull.

[@migueltor6434]

Good to see Arlo 👀.

[@billkline4077]

you guys just have a great chemistry together.

[@ottolinidesign]

CARPENTER ADVANTAGE CALCULATION!!!! I am a long time fan of your channel and the great work you do! I am a woodworker and Mechanical Engineer and after watching your last video when Jamie used the chain tension to move the framing I did a quick calculation. I emailed you my calculations and solved for the lateral force you could apply with a certain weight and a certain angle of the chain. The closer to horizontal the chain is the more force you can produce! With a weight of 180 lbs and an angle of 10 degrees you can produce 511 lbs! Formula is F=Weight/(2*Tan(angle)) when the angle is measured from horizontal.

[@mattcampbell755]

Modern roof pitch measurement: use the Level function built into iPhone, convert degrees to pitch. I’ve done this several times, works great.

[@matteberry58]

This one requires lots of creative problem solving. Well done PBB!

[@tylerwhite8429]

Trick for thawing the ground. Cut a 55 gal drum in half (long ways, top to bottom). Lay a whole bag of charcoal where you want to dig. Light it, cover with 1/2 drum, let it fully burn down, dig.

[@clukenba]

lol! “I took the line Chief-O!” “Shut the camera off Ray!” Good times for all!

[@SusanWoods-ww7wi]

Absolutely beautiful cat!! ❤💓❤

[@zTribalstylerz]

Yeah it is! I like how he thought he could just wave his hand over the food to get the cat to stop. They are wayyy more persistent than that!!! 😼

[@markbrown2296]

I am absolutely enjoying this series of videos!!! It really gives me the same enjoyment as watching This Old House on PBS growing up.

[@haedralfahdawy5485]

May God bless you and your hard work

[@markstipulkoski1389]

You can use your speed square and a plumb line to measure existing roof pitch. No need to guess, cut facia based on your guess, and then see how you did.

[@hotstuff3243]

Great music selection once again! Hats off to the one choosing the songs 🕺

[@rhondakennedy819]

Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all

[@lisaburke4779]

Gearing up to start my own remodel on my little “wartime” cottage building. Thanks for the inspiration 🥰

[@avabutterworth1607]

coming from a warm country with no snow and freezing ground i cant imagine what it’s like i watched in amazement at the hole digging 😮love from new zealand 🇳🇿

[@WoodWorkswithJaredOwen]

I’m new to video recording my work, and have noticed your quality is top notch. Have you ever considered doing a video on how you make a video and what software/hardware you like to use in order to make these beautiful videos come to life?

[@dougg.4128]

ERIC! How about a segment of all the Jaime-isms? Is that possible some day?

[@boysrus61]

I know you guys are professionals but you make it look so easy. This project is turning out so nice.

[@zTribalstylerz]

Yay for small job sites! So refreshing sometimes

[@tjshine7444]

Just change the name of this series to North Carolina Cabin Masters! Love it!

[@jesstill7833]

Love old house Reno’s can’t get enough of them,,it’s going to look great when it’s finished 🙏❤️👍

[@OnusofStrife]

Small houses are great. I lived in an old 980 sq ft house for a couple years. It was by far my favorite house to live in and own. Simple and easy to work on.

[@54mgtf22]

How does a retired carpenter spend his evenings? Watching carpenters at work of course. Hey guys. Love your work 👍

[@christopherkulish]

The "framing" at 8:28 made me LOL! It ain't pretty, but it works!

[@northgateswag]

Sending love from Canada! I watch all your videos makes me want to switch from electrical to carpentry!

[@carolewarner101]

Dried in just in time before the rain hits! Well done boys.

[@Ratedred]

"Nobody will ever see it again." Words to live by.

[@samconrad3768]

Best day of the week!

[@Aussieuke]

Hello guys ,from Australia. Have been watching your shows as of very recently.I have watched many shows since the time KZbin started and your relaxed , easy styled banter,explanations and cross talk with each other is what makes the show.Stay away from the commercial contracted shows as those so called gurus will strip away the true character of your show.Your building codes, practices are different to Australia but it is good to see tradesman doing the right thing compared to all the ' do it yourselfers' that think they have a free for all to build whatever they want. The commeraderie and laughter is your trademark.Do not lose that.Thank you for some great moments and laughter.

[@jacobbarritt]

Carving turkey, ft lbs, Jamie is a national treasure.

[@davidphalp8371]

I am constantly learning about things that my late father used to tell me about

[@michaelsparks6084]

Dude, I’m nominating you for The Nobel Peace Prize, pure Genius!

[@bseely772]

Welcome back Arlo!

[@eizenga71]

This one flew by too fast. Can't wait for the next episode with the crew.

[@ronwhite36]

I sure enjoy watching your channel!

[@dawnback]

Thanks for helping this lil house have new life

[@linnsoltwedel]

Gotta love your creativity! :D

[@jmelliottprop]

MORE REMODEL WORK!!!!

[@ta3355]

ARLOOOO!!

[@clintburris5520]

Good work guys! Having to scab stuff can get frustrating lol

[@mreinecker]

I see buckwild erasin’ Jason on the loose again causing sheer mayhem and pandemonium. Legend has it he sneaks back in to the job site at night to erase all pencil markings.

[@kamakazi832]

Videos are amazing an i cant believe jamie showed he dosnt have to be 1000 times better then perfect lolol yall kill it

[@bearsbulls593]

You guys are legends!

[@thepagan5432]

I had a frozen ground problem, as I had to put up a fence to stop our dogs going into the river. We used a machinery pinch bar which helped and a petrol post auger which finished the hole well. If anyone has seen the original St Pancras piano farce with the Chinese people post, I honestly thought that was Arlo speaking with the piano player. The roof is looking so much better with the Zip system boards down. Keep safe and well guys. 🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨

[@ryankelly5303]

Awesome job guys.

[@Learningandadventures]

Hey, for digging in the ground in the winter and the ground is frozen use a Hydro vac machine.

[@user-ep2wf5eq4l]

Beautiful Cat!!!

[@Beardest_Fishing]

Don’t know why but this video isn’t showing up in my notifications and isn’t anywhere but this playlist. Just happened to browse the playlist for this job and saw it show up. Might wanna check out what happened as it’s 12 hours old and has only 100 views.

[@sensitiveandshining]

It shows up as unlisted, so they would need to update the privacy settings for this video. I also just stumbled across it via the playlist on their channel because I was wondering why there wasn't a new video yet.

[@caveweta]

Me too.

[@Manoffire260]

I just got notified at noon Eastern???

[@sniperfi4532]

They might have made it private/changed who can see it as I got a notification when I went to bed around 8-9 hours ago and only decided to watch it now. Would explain why some comments are 8 hours old and the video states it’s only been up for an hour (it’s 05:30 aest when I wrote this comment)

[@MrThecourier]

Same here did not show on mine

[@ericadams4712]

Ray Ray's getting a Ray Raise

[@jeanhelder1977]

How good it is to see Arlo back. I hope you get well soon.

[@trentpatton2616]

Love ya work guys 👍

[@marymigliore3396]

You do such wonderful work !! I LOVE YOU ALL !!!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@quincy7972]

I dont even know why i like watching thse videos so much i will never build a house but dam it looks fun when ya do it

[@colemanmcc]

"It's... still... there..." Sounds like a solution to me!

[@chrisduffie208]

Please post longer videos!

[@xs732]

19:05 That's what I do. I start something and I pretend I don't know how to do it and those around start correcting me and telling me how to do it. They end up doing the entire job haha

[@danzimmer95]

Adjusting your blade depth helps too

[@trueline.construction]

Happy Thursday Yall!

[@martyhanks5977]

Hey a Pro Tip i learned a long time ago was to trace that roof line, then lay the level on the roof and trace the other side of the levels thickness. It back spaces the cut line back to allow for sheathing to plane up. A quick and dirty trick to use...if anyone wants.

[@mikebrockman736]

Build a fire over footing locations to thaw frozen ground.

[@MrThuggery]

You guys really make my day! cheers from Aus.

[@11611ss]

Great content guys!

[@josephrussoniello1623]

Great Video

[@robinharrison3907]

Great Teamwork Again 👍👍

[@user-kk7dp4kk4v]

3 on the tree had me rolling! 🤣

[@netposerx]

Arlo is the best!

[@CaptainRon13]

In the old days, the roofers cut the end out of soup cans, cut them square, to cover the knots in the space sheeting

[@pascalchavanon1930]

Welcome back Arlo.

[@solbergsindre]

Love remodeling projects like this. It looks hopeless at times, but it is such a stimulating exercise and amazing skill training to identify and solve problems on projects and buildings that aren't completely standard or modern We did much the same thing on our cabin last year. The walls and windows, especially those facing the ocean and its Atlantic weather, were completely shot and full of rot. The sane thing would have been to burn the entire thing down and build a new one, but with all the memories and affection attached to such a place, we decided to repair and remodel instead. We (my dad & I) have now completely repaired the two bad walls with new framing, insulation, siding and windows, and I absolutely cannot wait for summer when we're doing the other two Love this series so far!

[@carolewarner101]

Sounds like a building love story...to burn down the building would be to burn all the memories with it. Old is the new new!

[@BryansThailand]

Fantastic job guys as always, can't wait to see the outcome of this job. all the best from Thailand

[@leann4925]

Going to be a really nice place when y'all get through. Lovin this project.

[@simontuffey6655]

Guys great video and content, as always, all the way from the UK

[@art1muz13]

8:28 Janis Joplin says ''AND YOU LAUGHED AT THE BUILDERS IDEAS AT THE BEGINNING OF PART ONE, LOL'' 13:29 SIMPATICO.

[@milesharlan1]

Thursday LUNCH time fun watching a PBB video! Thank you again for the enjoyable entertaning video!! KUTGW

[@TravelwithBreezy]

@13:10 “Someone was digging dirt with your sawzall” 😂😂😂😂

[@ninabooker2904]

What was builders life like before the oscillating power tool ? I see DIYers and carpenters use this tool a lot. Very cool.

[@smokesalot8349]

Hey Erik, have you ever done a video explaining all the equipment you use to make videos for the channel? Keep up the great content, much love from the piedmont region of NC.

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

Hey, good question… I have not. It’s pretty quick and easy though. I use three different iPhone pros, a DJI, action, cam, a DJI drone, and then I edit on a Mac laptop, using LumaFusion.

[@J2Sushi]

Awesome and thanks for the reply, nice to see y'all boys haven't gone Hollywood just yet. All y'all guys are a huge inspiration and y'all make working everyday look enjoyable. Sooo do y'all offer an internship program??? I've got a background in carpentry as well as my NC electrical journeyman license. Imagine not having to sub out the electrical contract and being able to offer it in house.

[@michaelc.3812]

They make a shovel shaped attachment for that hammer drill, and they work very well in places like those deck caissons.

[@dhycee8215]

sawsall sawing dirt is great

[@hotlineoperator]

I think that its faster to build new than fix old.

[@TheKobiDror]

Well outside of freedom units degrees make more sense. 26.5° is as random as 6/12". Both are lines on a scale but honestly I prefer metric every time.

[@user-bi9ge9zq5r]

Minnesotan here who has had to thaw 2,000 sqft of ground. It was 2.5ft deep of frost and it took 9 days to thaw is out completely. You thaw it out first then dig, so you don't dig a few inches at a time.

[@mebrannon1]

Please make longer videos you guys are fun to watch. Ray is a beast. I’ve been to Bryson before it is beautiful

[@bobbywweaver]

Ben needs an adze/mattock for digging in that frozen ground.

[@Mee10792]

I never use rise and run. I just put my Bosch digital angle spirit on the rafter/roof, it'll say 26.5°, and then cut the wood in the mitre saw. Then where needed, that little bit cut off is ideal to mark the birds mouth.

[@Takechargemakeitwork]

I love how Jaime says random puns before Erik can stop him, lol.
