$200 a roll, Zip probably looked good compared to that. Quicker.

does the plumber usually do his trenching for his pipes to fit? Thank you for the video

Good video, but I was hoping for more details in how to install the first layer to be sure the slide close correctly

How long did it take, we live in ours full time because I travel for work and our floor is starting to cave in because condensation build up. We also found a little bit of mold

House wrap is a water resistive barrier. With properly installed zip you get an air barrier too. I didn't see any mention of taping the house wrap in the video and it can get torn up before it's covered with siding in the meantime. I'm personally leaning toward plywood sheathing with a permeable tape for the seams (and yes house wrap) to help air seal my upcoming build. It's just too bad the zip doesn't come in plywood. In and of itself the sheathing is a very small percentage of the building cost and it's not something that you can redo down the road. Moisture is a huge concern for me.

Dude you made this so easy and simple to understand thanks !

It seems to me that Tyvek is past its sell by date. I've just seen too much of it torn off in the wind, and since typically it isn't sealed on the bottom, it doesn't achieve the blower door scores for air tightness of other alternatives. That said, it seems like the other proprietary systems are overpriced. I'll be building next spring, and I think I'll consider OSB with either ZIP tape or a liquid flash for walls. For my roof, right now I'm thinking about OSB with Peel and Stick. I'm planning on sheathing the top row of my walls before lifting, and breaking up the walls into relatively small sections, since I'll be working solo. The first phase of my house will be a single story "studio", to get something I can live in a single construction season. It seems really sketchy to be building such a large home in one fell swoop paying for materials as you go. But its easy for me to say since I've got money in retirement accounts. Still, I'm planning on it taking me three years to get to my forever home.

Time for a one year review. Did it work?? How steep is the driveway?

Stoopid video! Didn’t show ANYTHING about replacing the floor…….

Is p trap necessary under the ground?

I must be missing something--how does the water get into the pipe to drain away?

About how far apart do you suggest placing them?

Get rid of the awful music please

Why hasn't he got the windows in yet? lol. He's slippin. Looks great guys.

How about CDX and tar paper? Tyvek isn’t even waterproof.

I’ll be doing this soon, on the same slide!! Thanks for the heads up

Awesome video !!!

Imagine you tell your boss or customer that you have to stop working for 10 minutes every 45 minutes to "recharge". Thats the consequence for being cheap and not buying real tools.

Personally I prefer buildings that breathe. I worked in an office building for years that was all sealed like a submarine. All of the air had to be blown in and out with fans. Employees had all kinds of respiratory problems.

What type of material did you use on top of the plywood?

is that liquid nail?

I'm really considering this!

Aaw... the little one reminded me and my dad when i used to follow him around and try to help and copy him when he does some carpentry for our house😊... it became a hobby i love doing now on the side as an adult... but i ket big guys do all the heavy and really dirty stuff though... i just manage and do a fl plan mostly. Thanks for sharing your knowledge 👍

Great stuff. I noticed you secured the wafer light box to the joist, already connected in/out with the 12/2 wire connected in the light box and capped, whereas my EnSenior lights use wegos. Regardless, can you be so kind to let me know (1) did you mount these because of code or convenience? Did your electrical inspector not mind the box be already wired? (2) why did you use a block of wood versus just screwing in and hanging the box directly to the joist? Lastly, (3) after the drywall us up, did you simply reach in for the dongle that connects the light or did you place the box off "the hook", and lay it on the roof of the drywall? I so appreciate the time you take to help explain.

Oh my lanta

Vents pull air in to allow the plumbing to drain without siphoning traps.

News to me to hear production builders are using Zip.

Fantastic video. The house looks stunning and THAT LAND!!! Paradise!

I’m actually starting a home residing project and have been searching for the right scaffolding to use. I like your use of 2x4’s for scaffolding. A video on that would be very helpful for those wanting to utilize wood vs steel (expensive and heavy). Thanks and I got some really good ideas.

Thanks for the video

DANG woman you are a rock star. I have been totally and completly dreading doing this. This is a great video.

If you used the black wire which is 16 gauge that may be your problem, I used the yellow wire which is 14 gauge wire and mine works great.

I have seen many mountain tracks, the problem is usually tackled by placing a small inch or so barrier every so often, try some rount timber.

johnson level and tool are a bunch of hacks

I have the same thing but seems to be a how on the inside not on the actual slide. Do I just remove the bottom to check first ?

Been a Contractor for 20 years nothing even compares to Zip sheathing. Tyvek always breaks down during the years but heck if you’re not staying there go the cheap route and put tyvek.

Horrendous music!

Just Lever it up. You don't need a winch. Lever it a little at a time with 2 x 4's or 2 x 6's and keep putting supports under it until you get it up where you can handle it.

Looks awesome! Thank you for the video. I am just about dried in and trying to learn to do the plumbing and electric. Thankful I can find info online in so many places these days. I feel you on the huge list of to do's! That is exactly what it feels like

U got 2 way clean out tees to catch the toilet .... Should always try to use a san tee to vent the toilet properly...right hand and left hand tees allow to catch tub and shower drains ...labs drain into vent creating a wet vent for the toilet

Sir can I have your contact number I need to ask you a question

either it has not rained since the making of this video or you forgot to do an update video after a big rain.

Weird. Supposedly, virtually no companies sell direct to consumers, yet resellers can be found. Then it becomes a question of warranty. Pretty sure you have none...??? Unless your licensed person signed off on the system. No one will do that in my neck of the woods!

you were not getting Tyvek for $55, maybe some cheapo woven house wrap, but not Tyvek

That is silica dust/concrete. Your lungs have moisture. Please wear a n95 respirator. That stuff is no joke.

I love this very much...❤❤❤❤

How do you know where to place the caps where the connection will be for the drain? What I mean is how do you get it accurate so that once the concrete is poured and that the drain for toilet shower, etc is where they should be and don't have to crack open the concrete again to move them?

Hey brother good video. I'm NW of Cookeville, TN. You in TN? I have the same problem, going to use your idea. Thanks and keep walking with our KING!

Thanks for the motivation

Venting was explained to me like without it it's like having your finger over a straw and it doesn't drain good.
