It was almost a throwaway comment but, "They have everything already set up by the time I get there..." says so much to those who can truly appreciate just how much of a big deal that is ! Not only that but it speaks volumes about the lads, their ethic and their involvement in the job as well. Respect to both of them and thanks to you and Greg for the continued entertainment and education as well = )

[@robl4079]

Love seeing your kid work with you. Everyday when I'm dropping him off at preschool, my 4 year old tells me he's "going to help build with daddy when I get big enough", and am dreaming of those days.

[@whohash2295]

Any time we spend time with our little humans are precious memories.

[@johncocking5363]

That's the way. My Dad did that with me and I did that with my three girls. I am a proud Great Grandpa now at 81. Building was surely my love. John in Missouri Valley Iowa

[@AF-O6]

You sound like a great Dad!

[@stephenbandy5942]

I love that…..I have a 15 and 6 year old. The oldest doesn’t care anything about helping me with our construction business, but the youngest one says the same thing yours does. Love it!

New general contractor here. Just turned 25. Never built a full house before. About to start my first spec house build. 1600ff plus 1250sf basement. Taking a lot of risks financially to make my dreams happen

Great channel! From a 78 year old who is still building stuff, bucking hay, and generally moving well...lift with your legs! Trust me, you can replace your hips, knees, shoulders, etc. You cannot replace or even rebuild your back! I need to notify TSA when I fly since I set off the security machines with all the metal in my new artificial joints...they are terrific and keep me working!

[@comingtofull-ageinchrist6736]

I begged my dad to take me to work with him since I was in second grade! I wanted nothing more than to look like him and go to work with him! That should inspire dads to be their best!

[@chaddidier3116]

Cole is awsome for swapping out the battery. He is learning to look for work and just get it done. I agree that the way you lift those walls is very safe.

[@RRBuildings]

Agree I still haven’t taught Greg to swap a dead battery… he brings the tool out with a dead battery lol

[@chaddidier3116]

@RRBuildings Greg is amazing because he stays ahead of you, so you can just keep going. You guys are true artists, and I love learning from you. Keep up the great work.

[@FloatingVillageLife]

And I am amazed by your determination and skill in constructing the biggest building yet. Part 5, focusing on walls, headers, and corners, showcases your meticulous craftsmanship and dedication to quality. Your passion and hard work are truly inspiring. And I am Floating Village Life

[@PaulMikna]

Just love the partnership and efficiency of the two of you guys working together all these years! I work solo as a handyman, and partner up with another guy for bigger projects and things just get done so well. The best trade teams I see out there are two man teams, usually the owner and a helper. Just lean machines getting their tasks done. Keep up the great work, and I love the math tutorials you do - not boring at all! (Not to leave your son out of the equation - it's great to see him working with you guys!)

[@woodfella21]

Watching you calculate post heights based upon truss pitch numbers brings back memories. When I first showed up on the job with a construction Master calculator in the mid-1980s, the old-timers on the job thought I was literally doing voodoo. It took me quite a while to win them over. Eventually I was able to prove to them that I could cut commons, hip rafters, (and lay them out on the sawhorses) and jack rafters without crawling around on the ceiling joists 20 feet in the air to get measurements. The associated reduction in roof framing hours won several foremen over eventually.

Kyle I am so pleased you made reference to the back and leg lift following my previous comment. I worked in heavy I dusty and was also a health and safety rep in ontario before returning to the UK. Now retired ba k in the UK I never miss your videos and would hate any of you to get injured. Safety is such a great topic in videos such as yours. Keep safe and make many ore of them my friend. You do good work and I for one appreciate it 😊😊😊

Had to watch that 17:00 at .25 speed. That is old-school comedy gold. He didn't move the nail. But, he did walk up in the first place. Bet he won't do that again. But if he keeps working for you, you should give him a raise.

[@oldcarpenter2372]

I learned your "trick" back in the 1970's, when I started banging nails. (no cell phone, no you tube, no nail gun) Back then, my foreman insisted a hatchet was a frame carpenter's tool, used to trim the ends of celing joists where they extended above the rafter at the heel?

Great work guys. You have done so much work in just a few days. America has so much wood for constructions I'm watching from Taiwan. We use metal frames to build a warehouse like this big. Well all frames here a metals. We don't have enoughl umber. We import mostly from Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam, But Thailand became smart, they don't want to sell us wood. They only want to sell furniture.

[@johnathanphillips8684]

I'm not sure if someone already mentioned it.......put the pin of the clevis on the eye. Hypothetically, IF someone left too much slack, the sling pulling against the pin could back the pin out. Awesome work gents!

[@psidvicious]

Every pick is a new rig. The pins just won’t unscrew that quickly.

[@seanoharmaigh]

Cowboys for sure what a load of Boll.x.

[@95dodgev10]

The other thing too on your rigging, those clevis's and straps are rated at 5 ton or whatever WLL or working load limit. That means that's the max rate they're guaranteed safe at. The failure or breaking point of those is often 50-100% higher than that. So 5 ton WLL means it could take as much as 10 tons to actually break it.

[@karlmckinney8469]

Love that you provide links to the tools you use !

[@sammykline7424]

Shackle is backwards, put pin in loop of strap, the tightening side can spin the pin out

It’s great that you teach the young guy safety as in lift with you legs and not your back. Great to teach him that but how about wearing safety shoes and equipment while you’re working. 😊

[@tutekohe1361]

A little note about rigging those Shackles, Kyle. The Pin of the Shackle should sit in the eye of the Strop - not against the ‘running’ leg of the Strop. When it’s against the running leg, it can wind the Pin out of the Clevis.

[@psidvicious]

Technique explained is correct BUT rigging failure is extremely unlikely (to the point of impossible actually) because every pick is a new rigging. Shackle comes off and is re-rigged for the next pick. Repetitive picks on the same rigging setup, should be checked every few picks or wire the pin to the shackle body for added insurance.

A steel building has to be cheaper than the wood. Stronger and with no bug damage to worry about.

[@bertveldhuizen8699]

Always that one negative person...

[@ericvogel1126]

Not necessarily cheaper, and as far as strength, designed to commercial specifications, just as a steel building would be. Some of the oldest buildings in the world still standing are all wood. Examples; the Stave churches of Norway that were built nearly a 1,000 years ago.

[@Bill_N_ATX]

The largest negative with wood in storage buildings is fire. While steel isn’t immune to the effects of fire, it doesn’t add to the fire. As for costs, it really just depends on a lot of different factors. It’s not as simple as one is cheaper than the other. There are a bunch of things that go into the equations. If one was always cheaper, there wouldn’t be the option. As the old expression goes, “Your mileage may vary.”
