I'm 60 yrs of age, and I'm a carpenter by trade.... I remodel houses now and still do a fair share of framing...... yesterday while working on a garage, trying to replace some drip edge and facia, I fell off my 6ft ladder.....this morning I'm watching your video and the peace and serenity of your video has calmed me and my headache of the prior day has diminished.....I love watching others framing houses/buildings, I gives my a satisfaction that soothes my soul....thanks for ALL your great videos, they're appreciated more than you know...

[@MBFModernHomesteading]

Thanks for the kind words, it really means a lot to us. More importantly , we hope you aren't in too bad of shape and have a good recovery! Thanks for stopping by.

[@kevinthomas1513]

just watching the video thinking should had wrap the lumber with plastic tarps.. maybe the floor cause I don't think it's very good with snow on osb plywood cause it swells .. but whom am I to judge

[@MBFModernHomesteading]

@@kevinthomas1513 If you look closely during the video you will see that it mentioned that the flooring was Stabledge flooring and not typical OSB. If you were to see the videos following, it held up great and we were very impressed, all the best.

[@MBFModernHomesteading]

Thanks so much, all the best to you!

[@stillworking]

Love is very difficult because it requires self sacrifice. Love is very fulfilling because in the very most extreme situations the sacrifice might have been great in anothers' reality but inside the mind and feelings complex it was all ego letting go of the lesser important things. Until at last, freedom in the last breathe is earned and the life is laid down for others to walk onward into time, into history, into.. The everlasting "I Love You"! Appreciate your will, the ways presented. Keep on, same ol' good. -Nick

All the best Nick.

[@MilosStevanovic1]

Seeing a couple working together is the best thing ever. Good jobs guys.

[@MBFModernHomesteading]

Thank you :)

[@bomaite1]

We bought a cheap tarp and stretched it over the entire floor. It helps keep the snow and rain off the floor, so there is less warpage and damage. We set the walls right on top of it. By the time you sheetrock, it is pretty worn, but when the mudding is done, you cut around the walls, roll it up carefully, and you have a nearly perfect subfloor to do whatever you want. Just in case you ever do another one.

[@MBFModernHomesteading]

Thanks, happy to hear it works for you; we know that some folks do that and works for them. We tried it years ago once and in our opinion was nothing more than a safety hazard, and annoyance chalking lines, etc. Not sure if you noticed but our floor was not regular osb but was 'stabledge' flooring; basically a weatherproof osb. We would have never left normal osb out in the elements like we did this one. We will continue to use the weatherproof osb moving forward, at least if we will be building with it under weather for any length of time. Look it up in case you ever build again, its awesome and you don't have to slide around on a tarp all day ;) . Thanks for stopping by and all the best to you and yours :)

Fine work, and a pleasure when you can build with your spouse. I wish I could do this one more time, I'm a carpenter, but I'm 66 and have a spinal injury. Still, I'd love to be back in the saddle. Hey, here's a tip, try to build in the Fall before it snows!😄I've framed in the winter and I know it's one long endurance test . . .

[@MBFModernHomesteading]

haha, sometimes it just works out that way. Hope you are getting on alright these days Fred :)

[@fredberger3155]

@@MBFModernHomesteading No worries, going to help my son finish his basement; will be limping around afterwards for a couple of weeks, but worth it. You've got me thinking about doing it again . . . hey, that steel screw pile foundation solves a lot of problems; does it work well? Is it cheaper compared to other alternatives? Subscribed . . .

[@MBFModernHomesteading]

@@fredberger3155 We have used the steel screw piles a couple of times now and love them. They are installed within the day and ready for beams, nice clean work and solid. It really all depends on what someone is looking for but concrete piers are probably the cheapest option, but we still prefer these.

@@MBFModernHomesteading Thanks for the reply, those screw piles look really slick, and allow you to quickly start with the framing portion of the house, which is what I'm really most interested in. Keep sawing wood!

Really very nice job and a perfect example for my future plans. Currently we live in an off-grid wooden self-built house in Portugal, but we are 62 years old and want to buy a smaller piece of land and do the same as you did, when we are getting older the land we have now is too much (1.5 hectares) and the new piece is 2.000 square metres and close to the village with all possibilities to connect to the grid very close-by. The house will be hugely inspired on this video of yours, congratulations; it's awesome!

Hey Guys I love what you are doing. That being said I would want two additional rows of support seals under the floor the span looks to be about 12 foot from center floor joists to the outside joist. That's not exceptable in the south.

[@MBFModernHomesteading]

Hey David, thanks. Everything is correct in the floor build; we are running 2 x 8 joists not even 10' across from one beam to the next. The width of the building is only 20' wide with 3 beams, one in the middle and one on each side. If you check out a joist span table which is easy to find on the internet, you can see that it is plenty. It would be acceptable in your area also, probably just hard to tell when watching the video. All the best. Have a good week!

[@johnbrackett5818]

@@MBFModernHomesteading 2 x 8's by 12 feet long joists are standard in Mass.

[@MBFModernHomesteading]

@@johnbrackett5818 It all depends on the size of a build here, 12 foot joist would be pointless on our particular build. There is a joist span table to make it easier to figure out for people who are unsure. All the best.
