[@rousingtherelics]

Thank you for an honest post - seeing many of these posts was so disheartening. Expecting others to do all with perfection is a sorry trait to hold. You and I sound like our handiwork is good enough to live safely and securely - but it wasn’t perfect. 💕

This is what I said to my partner when we watched the last episode. I work in construction myself and I’ve been on jobs where it’s clear everyone is out of their depth (bespoke builds, one off strange designs etc) and it was clear to me they were struggling to work things out. I would have called in a professional carpenter considering the cost of the posts.

[@The_Knight_Time]

[@loriemonroe76]

@@debyarger3084 Then ur taking away from Trent (and Allie) his right of the enjoyment and ownership of using his own hands when finished especially on a project he’s never done before. Yes, mistakes are made but that’s all part of the learning process. The parts like the drywall finishing, tiling and whatever else they have hired someone to do was he has done that already in the house, know’s he could do it but because of time management due to not knowing when baby is coming and importantly figuring it into the budget. Timber framers are really really expensive and probably very busy this time of year with their own scheduled projects with a limited amount of build time days between crappy weather seasons. Don’t take away their satisfaction of accomplishment when finished in building their own home together.

[@funtyes1970]

I call that quitting, there so many quitters in here looking for easy way out, I hope you guys don't teach your kids easy way out. if you did their future, is doom. and I never see so many crybabies on one channel.l

[@Medliving]

Watching this is painful. As a deck builder I would like to remind you that the primary function of a post is to provide strength and structure vertically. Therefore why all the fuss on how it fits in the pocket? Oversize the pockets and glue or foam them, bolt them, stand them, plumb them, chalk line them ALL then cut them for height using your (expensive but hardly used) excavator. Done!

[@marypritchett115]

I’m no timber installer but don’t their heavy snow loads up on the mountain make a difference? That roof will have to take snow load from the roof above in addition to heavy snowfall and wind?

[@lindathompson4770]

Wondering... will there be any settling after the beams are mounted on the post, and cutting a standing post seems tricky at most, but also dangerous.

NO MATTER how high or how many times I got thrown into the air that I ALWAYS “ landed on ALL 4 paws”! Soooo….I’m here to say to you Trent Childs that YOU are like a cat too!🐱🐈🐈‍⬛ …YOU ALWAYS “ land on ALL fours” 🐾🐾and YOU ALWAYS “ figure it out”!!!! THAT’S a sign of being a SMART Person and GREAT Cat!!!!🙀😸 …and having A, L, B, G, J at your side, you will ALWAYS “ land on ALL Four paws”!!! YOU WILL!!!!💪👍😸🐈

[@jefffortney4261]

Laughter through the tears, my friends! Mistakes are there for us to learn from. Trent, you WILL figure this out and it WILL get done! Remember this: In the 1920s, a journalist asked Thomas Edison how it felt to fail 1000 times in his attempt to invent the incandescent lightbulb. He replied, “I didn't fail 1000 times. The lightbulb was an invention with 1000 steps.” Allie, keep smiling!

[@luv2dancesalsa465]

Agreed… We set expectations for ourselves too damn unrealistically (high and/or low). Expect to succeed… eventually. It’s important to fail. I have a personal tragedy (you, too?) that took my ego and pride a while to get into perspective. Sure… it probably WAS the love of my life (lucky me it was “another love” in a relatively long line) that lasted 6.5 years. I’m grateful for what was and what I had. That’s all. We don’t fail. We let go or we grow. We do grow apart. Things like this happen. When we LEARN about things it’s awesome! So… IF there is a professional consultant to hire on a DIY project… not a team but a team member, that could make a huge difference.

[@danawelch3985]

I completely understand how the weather dictates your workload. We live in Colorado, where the wind and cold weather take over. We take it day by day and learn to flex accordingly. People are not taking on big projects requiring precision to make these comments. Safety is always first! I relate all things to sports because it has to happen several times before things come together. This is a first-time swing at getting it right and will take time.

[@Loleeone]

Trent and Allie....thank you for modeling trial and error and success with humility! I am 73.

I’d be very wary of a Chiropractor diagnosing the position of a full term baby. Not their wheelhouse, not their business. Listen to your midwife and doctor and spare yourself any extra worries.

[@wieblewobble]

I just watched that part and was all "nope nope nope - chiros are not OBs, do not listen to them."

[@marysutherland8570]

It depends in the Chiropractor and the types of training required by the state they had their schooling in. I've had some that were required to have in- deapth education in areas that would astound you. Their findings and diagnosis for me were more accurate by far than the MDs I went to. So please don't place them all in the same category. Having had 4 children, and that many OB/GYN Drs. And Chiropractors in a few different states, and having been a Birth Coach myself, what Allie is saying is right on target as she described it. I'm sorry if the Chiropractors in your experience hasn't been nearly as educated as ours!

I agree, I was surprised at all the criticism of them trying a new trade. I have learned so much from them building it themselves.

Just before my firstborn was born, I was working on a huge house foundation. One wall was 40 feet long, 20 inches wise, 14 feet tall. About 23 yards of concrete. The rest of the house was another 75 yards. Due to an error, I ordered 98 yards plus 23 yards. To have three trucks with mud on them is a terrible day. Back then, concrete was only $50, but it had fiber mesh and super plasersizer, as in 73 a yard. My boss told me to take care of my wife. I thought I was fired, but once the baby came, I was back at work, still the foreman. Show me someone who makes no mistakes. I'll show you someone who does nothing.

He’s probably arrived by now as I’m guessing you film several episodes In one day, right? Hopefully you’ll be showing up with child number two in your arms by next episode. Fingers crossed. 🤞

[@user-nk6tg2iv1i]

They are also two weeks behind

My Dad used to say there are 2 seasons, winter and construction. So I get it. Sometimes it is time to hire the Amish. You live and learn.

[@sherry9088]

Mistakes is how we learn. This is how new and or better ideas are born! You are doing just fantastic for being new at this particular job that will make living in the mountains so much more enjoyable! This is so exciting!!!! Your channel is a blast to watch! Can’t wait for the next one!!!! ❤❤❤

[@sharoncochran8508]

I have complete confidence that everything is going to be perfect, well maybe just a hair out of square! 😊

[@sharoletteogden5536]

I don't understand why people are complaining. The longer you take, the more content I get. ❤

[@CheleBoxy]

Now that's positive thinking right there! 👍🏻✌🏻

[@lisatingley8953]

I love my Monday and Friday morning coffee with Trent, Allie, Leo and the crew!!!

[@ritawentworth]

Walk away, do something else for a few. You will refocus and things will work out when you start back. You are pushing to complete things so mistakes are just happening no matter how hard you try to think things through.

[@stevecastro22]

This too shall pass! Just remember, you are framing, not setting diamonds in a ring!

[@laurenm8561]

You guys are doing phenomenal. Every construction project has mistakes/losses built in … knowing that inevitably things are going to happen. You had so few mistakes, that you’re still way behind the typical allowances. YOU GOT THIS! All I want to know is, where is our baby boy? 💞🌷🦋🌷💞

[@tinathomas4999]

God bless y’all. I understand the frustration. Praying baby boy gets in the correct position asap.

[@aliceblois1069]

Also, as far as the cost of the beam goes, you could hire contractors but they could easily rip you off or do terrible work. Hiring a contractor doesn't always go smoothly! At least this way, you know you are doing it to your standard.

[@user-zq9vl1er8n]

You guys are doing great with short outdoor work weather, interior can be done in winter, and only reason the weather shuffling needed to include the addition is Leo's little brother was ready to join the family 😊❤... your priorities are on point! people that have never been in construction with severe weather windows 😊 have no clue ❤

[@glendastanton2443]

Is it just me or is it funny that the video of them eating lunch showed beams just outside their window that looked like the one they are putting up for their roof support.

[@marihannah6702]

Don't beat yourselves up! You're not professionals, but the outcome always comes out beautiful! You guys are way better than you give yourselves credit for! Much love❤

[@msvenaacgranzella8010]

You guys are the epitome of perseverance!! Many would have quit on themselves a long time ago! Your work shows us that anything worth having requires hard work and growth from mistakes instead of being overly self-critical and succumbing to frustration. I believe in you all and know that when it's all said and done, your home will be amazing!!

[@yvonneculley5626]

Humble your self and ask someone!!!!!!! That’s how you learn…. Don’t be un teachable!!!!!!!?? You are bright intelligent and to be wise just ask for guidance

[@MegsCarpentry-lovedogs]

Very inspiring to all of you as a team. :) P.S. I put 4ft x 4t shaded skylights in the porch roof and have never regretted it. Food for thoughts if you see this before you do the roof of the porch. One step at a time. Deep breath! :) Meg, Eastern Canada, on the Island of Prince Edward Island

[@lyndabuchholz1216]

I understand that short summer thing. It seems like I spend my summer frantically trying to get things done before it is winter again. You are doing well!!!

[@BrotherMichaeloftheCross]

I'm relieved that you are rebounding and resuming with your usual confidence, and I am with you in your initiative :) Best wishes on the successful completion of your projects :)

[@bcakste2000]

Something we have embraced is "The opstical is the path". We've had many in our life and it made us, who we are. We are grateful now, but in the moment it seemed insurmountable. Persevering it, making it through is priceless. ❤

[@TheMadManPlace]

I think they call it "The Stress Of Pregnancy". That and simply pushing too hard to get the job done. Just wait until the child is in the crib and suddenly all will come right and be at peace.

[@cornypinkuni9519]

This! ❤

[@anitacorrigan532]

Perseverance is a quality that is a decision. Big knowledge that can never be taken.

[@reneehumphrey9994]

Don't listen to the naysayers! My husband has been building for over 40 years. Mistakes happen. You learn by them and move on. This is what makes your videos, you not only show your mistakes and claim them, but then you work to fix them. You are the only KZbinrs that I still watch since faithfully. Great content! Thank you!

[@cornypinkuni9519]

❤

[@SFoureman]

I hadn't seen the image of the final goal. Seeing that really helps make everything make better sense. I think you should spin that image into every intro and/or ending of your videos, from here on out. That way people can see the rhyme-to-reason.

[@cornypinkuni9519]

Nice idea. I liked seeing that again also!

[@cherylhuskins3711]

I ate at Five Guys for the first time yesterday when I went to Atlanta because of your mentioning it in other videos! I live in the middle of nowhere and had never heard of them. Fantastic burger! Very happy! Love your videos!!!!

[@123Fanan]

Sheesh, so many people with so many opinions. Congratulations on building your own house and letting us in on your project and your lives. It is my favourite Monday and Friday boost of energy. Thanks so much and keep going. Bravo to you guys and your team!

[@kimberlycard5595]

Good morning! Trent you and the guys will get this. Allie this baby will get into position and will be ready for delivery ♥️♥️

[@geraldinearneil2506]

Exactly Allie! You have a very harsh learning lesson! Ouch! But your attitude is amazing. Don’t lose that. You need to know you are both amazing! Plus your friends and workers are the best! Sit back and enjoy each other.👍👍👍🌺🥰

[@donnaquinn8641]

Ok been thinking about this for a long time. I lived in the SLC valley for 7 yrs. So, I'm feeling a kindred spirit for Trent & Allie & Leo & the Gang. It does irritate me when people put up mean comments. You all do Not need them! Constructed critism, always welcome I'm sure. Your entire team is doing an amazing job. I would still be at the hardware store trying to figure out what nails to use. 😊 I watch you with friends. I recommended your channel to my Aunt who just lost her husband. She is now subscribed. We all compare notes after each video.📝 We all love you out here. Stay strong. Stay Encouraged! Peaks & Valleys! When all else fails, Five Guys for reenergize. ❤ (My go to back in the day: Crown Burgers.) 👑🍔 Love you guys. You are doing amazing work and all of your content is awesome. Waiting anxiously for the new baby boy. God Bless 🫂

[@parkewellman8364]

Hang in there. Keep doing what you do….recognize your mistakes and learn from them….let it roll off your shoulders with grace and humor. All life lessons and years from now you will look upon your accomplishments knowing the mistakes made but proud of the achievement. No better example for Leo than that.

[@styrenehelp]

I grew up with imperial measurements. I also learned the metric system. So much easier to use. The pockets could have been more acurate using the metric system.

[@QluGymdad]

@<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1725">28:45</a> in the video, right behind you at 5 Guys was a U shaped beam base that would have solved so many problems! Don’t forget to seal all those cuts before you bolt in the posts.

[@mariatrapp6196]

That's how we did ours! I tried to suggest that a couple videos ago. Also we replaced a post that got extreme rot in it with the internal brace. It also was a high altitude Utah winter cabin. Please go with the U or saddle brackets. Easier and QUICKER to get plumbed and level.

[@fasteddy3336]

Good morning ☀️ sometimes it’s better off to call in the professionals

[@peachygal4153]

except their income is on youtbe showing people what they do. Professionals would not allow filming.

[@robertlemoi7919]

@@peachygal4153 So what. Just have the professionals come over and notch out the timbers and leave the installing to Trent. End of story.

[@qismyfavoriteuncle9856]

My guess is more that they really can not afford the professionals in the time they have. ​@peachygal4153

[@cathythomas298]

They have already told us that the experts weren’t available for months. Not acceptable. They will get through this.

[@deestanley9836]

Trent, take your time. Rome wasn’t built in a day! Allie, patience is a virtue, when the baby is ready, he will come! I was breech and my first baby was breech! 😊❤

[@sherryschuman9299]

God bless everyone! Little one turn and make sure you come headfirst!🥰🙏🙏🙏

[@samstainer2288]

Mistakes happen. Also when self building it takes longer. Specially when learning on the job.

[@lindakurtz2653]

Thanks for the reminder that everyday choices relate to individual context.

[@lorrainecurrie-macdonald2281]

Good morning from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. We are having your weather here today. Hot..Hotter and BEYOND HOT!!!! 😊 😎

[@barbaradw9969]

I am feeling the same in Japan.

[@OssoLily-ix5vz]

Same in Middle Tennessee, 94 degrees at 12:55 pm …. And getting Hotter!
