Our slice of Canada
Приєднався 5 лют 2022
Hi Everyone! Welcome to our channel!
We are a couple with grown-up kids who decided to start a new and exciting project - buying a piece of wooded land, clearing it, building a house and a garden. There are definitely will be chickens, ducks and maybe other birds and animals on our land, but not right away. This is not an educational channel, as we learn new skills as we go, and we won't be building the house (or clearing the land) all by ourselves, we just going to take on the jobs we're comfortable doing and all the rest we will leave to professionals. We want to document this project for our own memories and share it with you if you're interested in following along.
We're developing our property in rural New Brunswick, Canada, and we love it here, as it has a bit of resemblance to some rural areas of our country of origin - Ukraine.

Framing - Part 7: Dormer and Prep Work for Roof
This is the most exciting part of the build for us - the completion of the framing for the house. Due to the changes in the design it took longer than it should. It supposed to be 2-3 weeks :) But we are very happy with the results. It was worth the wait!
Thanks to everyone involved!

Framing - Part 6: Timber Frame Porches
Переглядів 42614 днів тому
The installation of the timber frame porches went quite smoothly. It took one day to lift them up with the boom truck and install them in place. What a change to house curb appeal! These two porches quite easily converted a simple rectangular house into a quite interesting house. It looks huge now (not that we wanted to have a big one, but it is what it is :)). We want to thank our crew and our...
Framing - Part 5: Preparation work for the Front and Back Porches installation
Переглядів 2,5 тис.21 день тому
We wanted to have custom timber frame porches at the front and at the back of our house to make it a bit more interesting (not just a rectangle with door and window openings). At a construction fair we found a very talented local professional, who specializes in timber frame constructions and he designed these beautiful porches for us. They look even better then we hoped for! :)
Framing - Part 4: Gable Walls Installation and Delivery of European Style Tilt and Turn Windows.

The framing is progressing further and we're at the point of gable walls installation and wrapping all exterior walls with WRBs. Another exciting milestone - a delivery of European style tilt and turn windows. That was quite an adventure on its own. The windows are 3-ply Gealan tilt and turn and they weight a lot! Each of two crates of wonderfully packed windows weighted around 2,000 pounds and...

Wood Chipping with Woodland Mills WC46 Wood Chipper on Compact Tractor Kioti CK2620
Переглядів 1,3 тис.2 місяці тому
With all the trees on our property, standing and cut, we have decided that a proper wood chipper is a must to have. We searched and researched different options for our KIOTI CK2620 and finally decided on Woodland Mills WC46 4" PTO Wood Chipper. In this video, I will show the unpacking of the wood chipper, the assembly, and how it actually works. So far, I'm very pleased with the mulch it produ...

Grading with box blade? KIOTI CK2620
Переглядів 9752 місяці тому
This is my first time trying to grade the cleared area with a box blade on my Kioti CK2620. We are thinking of seeding the grass (clover?) in this area later, but for now the plan is to bring it to a better state before seeding anything on it. Not sure if this attachment is the best for this task, but I don't have a better one, and for now it'll do.
Concrete Slab Pour

We were working very hard to meet the deadline for concrete slab pour. That was quite a job! We worked late into the night with the head flashlight on many nights prior to pour, but how satisfying it was to see it's happening finally! The weather was good for a pour and our contractors were amazing! We are very satisfied with the final result of this pour. Even 2 weeks later there are no visibl...
Radiant Heating: Tubing and Insulation Installation. HEAT SHEET
Переглядів 1,2 тис.3 місяці тому
In this video we show how we installed heat sheet insulation and radiant heat tubing under the concrete slab. This was the first time we ever installed something like this and prior to do so, we have researched quite a lot of different methods of radiant heat flooring and have decided that this one should work for us, especially taking into consideration the ease of installation by ourselves.

#StandWithUkraine [Victoria, BC, CANADA]
Здравствуйте. Не подскажете, в какую сумму планируете уложиться? Я в раздумьях переезжать на восточное побережье, но не решил, покупать уже готовый дом, или строиться... Спасибо.
It is looking lovely the property in the design of the house looks wonderful I hope and pray that many years of enjoyment in this home be safe God bless
Thank you for the well wishes! We hope so too. 😊
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉 That's a huge milestone!
Amazing! These timber frame porches look sooooo good! Love it!
Wow. Big building! Love this. Subscribed
@@Mainelyoffgrid thanks 👍
@@Mainelyoffgrid it looked small when it was just a slab 😁
Good looking spot you got there! Subscribed
Progress is Wonderful ! I’m sure your looking forward to things being sealed in with roof, windows and doors .
@@qualitybydesign5119 thanks, yes for sure. The weather is not cooperating though 😁
That timber frame porch looks huge! Beautiful work!
Thank you! It was quite a bit of work to put it together.
Quite an operation with window unloading. Is it a problem in your area to rent proper equipment?
Yes, it was challenging to find anything at all at the town closest to us. We probably could've had a better success in the nearby larger city, but it didn't come to that.
They should be fine laying in the mud and rained on? Trust me you will need to replace the bottom one . Always risky doing a DIY home.
@@zephyr1408 Not sure, in ideal world it would be sitting on a dry concrete above the ground... As per manufacturer instructions 1 week on the ground is ok, that is what we had. So should be fine 😃 Thanks for the comment!
Hello I am a fellow Nee Brunswicker. I am just out side of Fredericton. We’re are you located
@@puddlejumper3534 Hello! Glad to see you here! We're located between Frederickton and Moncton.
That’s an exciting process ! Are you telling your husband how to clean up ? Lol
Lol! Almost! At the beginning I say how good of a job he's doing cleaning the house, and ask him to waive into the camera. :) But then I see that he is heavily leaning on one of the braces and telling him to stop doing that as those braces are holding the house together and the house going to collapse if he continues to do so. LOL
Very Funny .. If you were speaking German I’d probably be able to understand most of what you were saying. There’s always clean up to do on a job site and the tradespeople will appreciate it. They also enjoy coffee ☕️ if there’s a Timmys near by . Lol
I’m curious what your going to use the space for in the second floor ?
@@qualitybydesign5119 the attic will have two bedrooms on opposite sides of the attic, a full washroom and a computer nook in the middle. As we have only one bedroom downstairs we wanted to have guests bedrooms for our kids (or other friends and relatives who wants to visit) upstairs.
Nice! 🎉🎉🎉 Congrats on this milestone! Love the humor at the end in Ukrainian! Hahaha 😆
I like you are enjoying it! We are enjoying the process too! The bonus in Ukrainian was not scripted (as majority of what we say :)), that's why it's even funnier. :)
as i am searching about above grade slab, I found your cool videos. Very impressive, I love it! and I just want to ask is the radiant heat flooring to protect the concrete foundation from cracking or to heat the building? and where are you guys, or if you don't want to say, I am just wondering what type of climate you guys have do you have a lot of snow?
@@Kay-ci5kj hi, glad you liked the video. The radiant heating is to heat the house. We are in Canada, the winter in our area is not too bad, up to -10C and 4" of snow per month on average.
@@OurSliceOfCanada Good for you! all the best :)
Love the progress and the fall colors! Great job, guys!
Thanks so much!
Beautiful Scenery 🇨🇦 ! The framing always appears to go quickly and then things look like they slow down as all the mechanical rough ins happen. As a general contractor of about 30 years I’ve never seen the OSB sheathing taped. Your labour is free and the cost of a few rolls of tape is cheap though. So it can’t hurt . Lol
Thanks., I think so too lol 😊
That was nerve-wracking! I mean, roof trusses delivery! Wow, just wow! Great explanation, too. Exciting times! I'm looking forward to part 2 and all the other ones!
Success !
Woodland mills make a qualiy product. One suggestion. When you're running a pto implement I'd remove the tractor drawbar.
Great suggestion. Thank you!
Какая красота ❤❤❤
Im waiting on this exact setup. Couple delays in shipments, but hopefully this week.
@@reallythough4591 you won't regret it. Tractors are awesome 😎
Lost a bunch of neighbors trees during Helene, but onto my property. Met a neighbor with one who was able to lift some of them Seems prudent, and fun
Loved your humor in this one! 😂 Great addition to your properly for sure! Good luck with chipping those trees! 😊
Thank you! 😁
It's a learning curve for us first time tractor owners. My biggest problem is remembering to take the parking break off and putting it on when I should. 😂
@@BeardedRockinHillbilly-w3w oh yeah, so true 🤣
Amazing fall, and really good job. ❤❤❤❤
Thanks and thanks for watching 😊
Very Nice and exciting !
@@qualitybydesign5119 thanks, yes very exciting 😁
What fuel/power will you use to run your boiler for your radiant in floor heat and domestic water heater ?
@@qualitybydesign5119 I haven't decide for sure yet, but leaning towards electric for both. The other option is propane but I don't really like having a big propane tank next to the house.
Looks great! Congrats on the beginning of framing! 🎉
Thank you! 🎉
Almost time for Framing ? Must be getting close 🎉
Yes, the framing has started. 🎉
Looking forward to a video update when time permits. 🇨🇦
Who else loves concrete channels on UA-cam?
Good job! Maybe you need to use a tiller for this kind of project. Just a thought. Epic fall colors!🍁🍂🍁
Hello, "Our slice of Canada" I saw your channel and saw that in your channel have some problems, not many. For these problems your channel is not growing. If you can solve these problems, Your channel will grow like a storm. Do you want to know these problem? If you Want to know, I can only tell to you. Can I tell here or email?
They told me the same thing, now look at me
I hope things go smoothly and you can get closed in before the harsh weather. 🇨🇦
That's our hopes too. Thanks 👍
Looks Good ! I’m glad everything went Well . When does framing start ?
In two weeks after the pour. We are so excited 🤞
Just wondering why you put the vapour barrier between the layers of insulation instead of on top of the gravel ? 🇨🇦
You can totally do it, in our case because of the recess (8") in the center of the slab it was easier to deal with this way. We have only one layer (2") under the vapour barrier in that area .
My next questions are why the 8” recess ( is it structural for fireplace masonry) and how did the concrete pour go ? I’m planning on doing the same frost protected shallow foundation in Ontario . Thanks for the info .
@@qualitybydesign5119 yes, the recess was structural, we have a staircase in that area. The pour went well, we will post the video today.
Looks like you have that same hose mess scraping and putting pressure on the windshield that my new one has. A little dust on the sheath and scratches will form in that area. Kioti hose management sucks and that's how they say it should be. Wish I had noticed that before taking delivery. Otherwise mine is a good tractor.
Not sure I am following you. All the hoses are a couple of inches off the windshield, the only one that might be touching it is one of the third function hose. But I think I can tighten it up so it won't touch the windshield. I might show it one day. 🤞
@@OurSliceOfCanada Once my bucket is higher then the hood the hoses put extreme force on the windshield. Maybe it's something with the heavier 4030 loader I got that has extra reach and digging depth. I recently posted a grapple video and about 6 minutes in you can see it.
Oh by the way great job running the tractor for first time!!
@@mikerequa820 Thanks for the words of encouragement. I'm more or less comfortable with the front loader, but haven't touched the PTO yet. The thought of taking off the backhoe terrifies me. Will cross that bridge later, but seems like it is coming very soon 🤣
Congratulations on yall's new kioti tractor!! Yall's chanel just popped up i hit on it i just enjoy watching tractor stuff. I bought a kioti 3520se shuttle shift bout month n half ago i love it they are really nice tractors I've had several other brands this one is in a different category. I'm gonna subscribe.
