Established in 2015 and now nestled in the foothills of North Carolina, Guildbrook Farm is a modern mountain homestead in pursuit of developing a more self sustainable way of life. From planting, growing, canning and preserving our own food to managing our forests and land resources, our life long journey demonstrates preparedness, DIY projects, strategies and ideas that you can practice to help increase your own self sufficiency and balance with the land. Follow along as we continue to develop a little homestead in the mountains of Appalachia.
Reminded me of the hundreds and hundreds of steel columns that I set when I was a builder before I retired. You did it exactly right. Awesome.
Thank you for keeping this series going. I hope you’re all enjoying what you’re doing, and I wish you the best
A woman's work is never done Jamie. Love how you two work so well together. Things are coming along just fine.
Man i never knew there were soooo many small details that really really make a really imp difference but your home when done will truly hold up to as they say looooong time use weather conditions in the many years to come and just knowing that your true care sweat went into every inch can only increase your pride as to what a great team you both are i cant wsit to see more
My wife, the Physical Therapist, just commented on your excellent body-mechanics while lifting and unloading the steel. Way to go! She (and I) don't want you to injure your back again. We're excited to see the progress you're making - looks great.
Well good. I’m trying to be as careful as I can. 🤞🏻
Your back will thank you for it later in life. My husband and I are 72 years old and he is now in a wheelchair all because he didn’t take care of his back. We can no longer have a garden or even do our own yard work. We have always had a big garden done a lot of canning so my point is look at what you give up by not thinking of your health. We like you two did everything never hired anything done. We have had a hard time getting used to this new way of life
Thank you so much for making these videos! It is the best inspiration for me and my husband ❤
Love these build videos, thank you for taking the time to make them 🌻
Sometimes when I see the title of y'all's videos I instantly say, "Oooh! I've been waiting for this." or "Oooh! How exciting!" This was one of those you got a "Oooh! How exciting!" LOL Silly how some of us from things like this so interesting or even satisfying, huh? But, I can't help it. LOL I love seeing stuff like this! Then top that off with how long y'all have waited to get this project started. Just makes me smile every step forward you're able to accomplish.
Paulla Wells I feel exactly the same way! I cannot wait for them to be living in their new home! They’ve been through so much! 👏❤️
@@debbiehall3759 - iknowright!?! Me too!! They did so many awesome and creative and informative videos and I cannot wait for them to be able to finally feel settled enough and stable enough and able to breathe enough to go back to those things that which I am certain they super enjoyed. I accomplished my first attempt at canning this year due in a great part to their previous canning videos. Does my heart so good to see them be able to finally move forward to that ultimate goal and to know that the ability to finally make progress allows them to begin to breathe again. 🥰
I always thought Fouch-o-matic off grid was the best husband and wife team working together to build a house. You two have taken the top place. Between the cemetery hike, the art business, the wild, wild Kunekune pigs, the well drilling, and the basement pour -- you two are incredible. The Dirt is my favorite as both of you are in that video. Jeremy, much as I like watching you think through things, Jaime is still my favorite 😉😁😎😇
Now that's a compliment ! The Fouch's were an incredible family and incredible to watch...just like this family !!!!
greetings, mr. jeremy; i am thoroughly enjoying the play by play construction. so many people do things or tell of things while all at the same time leaving their viewers in the dark. yall are doing a great job and yes i realise it is more difficult and time consuming taking us along but it is so enjoyable following with yall. if the occasion does not come again.....merry Christmas and happy new year........g
Thank you. Merry Christmas to you also. 😊
That Rustoleum paint is really good stuff. Found it a few years ago and sure has done a great job for my outside furniture. Does exactly what it says it does.
Slow and steady get the job done correctly...
Have a wonderful day 🎄🎄🎄
The Tap Cons are slick. They make anchoring easy. For the lumber end of things there’s some stuff out there called timber lock and head lock. Just like using a lag bolt but no drilling.
Looking great you guys. Have an amazing weekend, Andreas from Off Grid Sweden 🇸🇪
It is said that whenever we build something of quality that we hope will last, we should sign and date it. They used to do that with barns in the 1800's, with some sitting right along the Olentangy River. Imo you need to do the same so 200 years from now, when the Guildbrook house is standing strong, all will know you DID know what you were doing! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
For spray priming in cold weather it can help to have a cooler with warm water in to keep the can warm.
nice work with the steel beams. easier than i thought.
Good ergonomic posture when lifting. Hope your back is improving. Really enjoyed the fast motion spray painting ... Tickled my funny bone! Am very impressed the two of you got that complex job done. Very close to starting the next floor! Sitting on the edge of my seat with anticipation. Now if only the weather would cooperate ... Right? Loving the progress. You go guys!
I appreciate that you are so precise, shows commitment to quality. Well done!!! TY
It's looking great!! Hope the weather isn't too mean to y'all.
Nail it! How do you feel your progression is going, and do you have a specific timeline? Take care Guildbrooksters .... have a Merry Christmas and a Happiest of New Years.
No specific timeframe. Just working around the weather as we can get help.
Looking great. Nice high basement.
Good job Jeremy and Jaime! you both work so good together.
It's looking good guys, hoping the weather changes for the better for you. I look forward to the next update. Take care
Love y'all. I'm about to begin the journey. We have the property.... Now build our forever home and farmstead.
Appreciate you taking the time to video and explain all that you are doing. I know it would go much faster without the video process going on! Thank you!
There's a product called Pole Wrap--I got them from Home Depot's website--that go a long way to make those support posts look very nice. They're relatively inexpensive and very easy to install, plus they help my basement look much more finished.
You both make a great team! Thanks for the update on your build.
I have become so engrossed in your development of your property, now the house build! I totally understand the wooden beam vs a steel beam. I have a small Cape Cod house in Ohio. My main beam is steel, but this was a Steel town at one time.
Every little bit is progress!
Another interesting video. I never thought I'd be so engrossed with house building.
I love paper towels...one of my few luxuries!
plus, when done with them, just throw them in the burn barrel.
Slow and steady progress gets the job done !
Hope you guys bundle up and stay warm there. I know where you live and I know it's BUTT COLD up on that mountain ridge. I'll be glad to see you get this house dried in. Cause it's going to be a cold winter. As if you hadn't guessed that yet! Merry Christmas!😊❤🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
Get a round bale of hay and spread it around outside the build. It will help build up the soil for when you’re ready to plant, and it will help with the mud as you work, providing a barrier and then giving it texture for stability instead of slipping.
Gravel inside the basement would be good, but that’s a waste if you’re getting your slab poured soon.
Don’t forget to consider radon and put in a good moisture barrier!
Probably easier to do radon mitigation up front instead of having to do it later.
Looked at your art site, Jamie...that Scottish Highland is SO beautiful!! Just perfect! You might want to consider talking with person who commissioned it about you doing prints. Not sure about who owns the “art” since I assume the person sent a photo and owns the original...
What works better than hay is if you can get tree trimmers to drop off their big wood chips for free.
wallpello ಠ_ಠ
Yes, but if they are going to lay sod, wood chips take too long to break down. Doing gravel where they know the driveway will be would be good, too. Putting wood chips close to the structure also provides a home for termites or carpenter ants.
Merry Christmas family!
Thank you for sharing your house journey, Very interesting but also looking forward to the misses canning recipes again. love your content
Looks good to me too there good buddy. Ten four.
Love seeing how things are coming along 👍🏻
Enjoy watching your video
Have a great Christmas and a cracking New Year! I wish you and your family everything good for 2020.
Thank you for the video..Have a Blessed Day..
Nice! Thank you for sharing these building videos!
Good stuff, I like the way you guys describe every little detail, thanks so much
Well done, Jamie and Jeremy.
Merry christmas to all your family
I know I'm too late, but that coating is a waste of money and time . Been there done that. Any mild steel below concrete, weather it's coated or not will rot. If it's not too late, I'd set those posts on the finished slab. They will not rust out above grade , and you can move/access them and the hardware without a torch, cut-off saw, or breaking up the slab. Just sayin.
i agree. Structural steel should either be encased in concrete completely or sit on top. Gaps will open around the post and allow moisture and oxygen into the concrete around the post. It will rust out. Far better to sit it on top. Also should be hot dipped galvanised. Interested to see if this passes inspection. Good Luck with the build guys.
@@nichaire2790, I agree with the rotting/rusting out, But if he were to notice a significant loss in structural integrity, couldn't they put a post right next to the first ones, on top of the floor slab or temp post on each side and replace ?
Glad to see your successful progress.
That was really interesting. I'm very much enjoying watching your progress!
Love seeing your progress. Looking forward to the next video. Merry Christmas to your family.
I was rushing big time to get the EPDM rubber on our flat roof project done before winter set in. I can't imagine just having a basement shell at this time of year -- but maybe you have better weather than SW Wisconsin. We will have well below zero with the wind chill tonight (4 degrees). We are on a ridge top so we are up high like you. Always windy this time of year!! Good luck!
Great progress 👍
Great job!!
Nice work. A few tips for people looking to learn. Keep a heat gun around for general use. Here it would be used to quick dry the paint. Also, layers of roofing felt can be cut into rectangles for dual use. They serve as fine adjust shims. Also, it will help keep the steel from rusting. Paint is good. But both roofing felt and paint is better.
Nice work
could not believe you sprayed paint plates on on such good plywood! I do not care where it goes. I know I could not afford it!!
Lol. The whole sheet will eventually be painted and used. Not a big deal.
FYI, the industry standard for priming steel columns and beams is 2 coats of standard shop primer red oxide paint minimum.
If installing HSS (hollow structural steel) in the center of an already finished basement, to be behind drywall, the steel can be left unpainted, unprimed, right?
Interesting now you have me wondering if my post is actually n the concrete, seems like a weird way to do it because you would be able to fix it if there is a problem. You ours is also adjustable.
I like the steel [;ates on the concrete instead pf wppd.
you need to be wearing a back support belt. have broken my neck two times and had three slip disk in my lower back with five surgeries, it sucks! please protect your back, get the belt brace.
And to think I have been watching since his hair was longer than hers ... Lol ... Bottom section usable ... Now for the living section ... Good foundation needs a good floor and walls ...
I wanna know who's winning in arm wrestling these days? 😀 Happy New Year you 2 + 2
oh ya, I just binge-watched every episode of your channel. so Hi!!! :') Jamie after the holidays I will be in touch I have some drawings I would like done. I was wondering are you going to cement the cellar floor or leave it dirt, I would think with the cost of the house you would finish the cellar.
I’ve shared your channel on different channels, hopefully you’re getting new subscribers 😍
Thank you!
Interesting video . Must have been a pain in squaring up the beam from side to side . Was just wondering ... did you have to order a special steel poles for the strength or did they just used any type of tubing for the poles . Thanks
It’s just regular 4” schedule 40 steel tube with 1/4” plates.
@@Guildbrookfarm Thank you Sir . Just wanted to add , smart in getting different size shims . They will come in handy .
Just curiously, is there a reason other than looks I guess that you had steel columns made instead of using steel jack posts to support the LVL beam?? I'm from Canada and any basement I have ever seen used steel jack posts in the basement. I know some people cover them with either a drywall or wood box when finishing a basement if they can't hide them in a dividing wall, or they replace the LVL with a steel I-beam which allowed them to remove the columns altogether. Just wondering if it is for looks or if it is structural.
It was not a standard height for most jack posts to reach and ended up being cheaper to have them fabricated locally to our spec.
great video, again.
question. I know you have the beam exactly where you want it. but, is there a plan to account for some minor settling of the beam as the weight of the house is brought to bear on the beam and columns? I have found that over time some settling does occur and slight adjustments are needed at a later point? this is just a concern of mine.
Nope. The only thing in this assembly that would compress is the beam itself and it would be negligible at best.
How much was the steel post and where to buy?
Carpenters use slate to shim girders.
0:25 Noooo! Don't steal! You have to pay !!! :D
Yes, I'm a little bored haha ...
You forgot to say “that’s not going anywhere” when you ratchet strapped the supports in your truck
and if you forget to do that... man.. you are on your own.
Lol 😂
ha!!
you should buy yourself a paint sprayer set up for you air compressor
I have all of that
Jamie I’m an artist who spends many hours a day painting and thinking about painting. It can be very consuming. I know when you first started these videos you said Jeremy wasn’t really interested in embracing the complete lifestyle but you were. You said he was a thinker comfortable with computers etc. But it seems he is completely involved in the new lifestyle and building the new home. Now you are often the one caught up in the studio. I know that brings in lots of cash which you both need. Is that a welcome change for you or are you finding it difficult to get all your canning, work around the homestead, and art in one day?
Are you going to be putting in radiant heat there in the basement? Seems to be a very popular way to go.
No. I’ve never seen a radiant system that didn’t have problems and they’re expensive to fix.
Radiant heat has its problems, If you are not going to heat the basement all the time it's useless as it takes many hours to get the concrete floor mass up to temp. So if one plans on going down into the workshop and turn on the heat, it will be 4 or 5 hours before you see any results. It then overshoots and gets too hot just about the time you quit for the evening. Radiant is great if you plan on leaving it on all the time so it can stabilize but then you are using energy when not in use. A nice propane fired wall or shop heater will take the chill off in 10 minutes and can be turned off when not in use. They are simple, low cost and easy to maintain and install. Even a mini-split electric would work well and provides AC and humidity control in the summer, but would likely need grid power.
👍👍👍👌👍☺️
Painting or priming with temp near Freezing?
JoeB
Use a heat gun to quick dry.
Will the bottoms of your posts be encased in the slab? Why aren't you putting the base of the post on the finished slab? 😁
Is that large grey rectangle not a slab? I think it’s just muddy up close
@@krb96 those are just bearing points that go beneath the slab, slab gets poured over them.
Slab floor is poured over compacted sand or gravel. Neither are “structural”. Posts must bear on a footing poured on undisturbed soil.
Time for a cordless 1/2" impact tool and some harbor freight impact sockets.
First, there was nerdy Chicken Maths. Then there was nerdy Solar Power Maths. Now, there is nerdy Beam Maths.
Your daughter is a good helper.
Would’ve pour the floor first myself
Can’t do that
Pads are structural the pad isn’t
Floor would be on top of the pad....first I ever seen it done that way and I’d be concerned with leaks due to hydrostatic pressure.
Posts are required to be directly secured to structural pads per engineering and code
The posts secure to the footing pads. Then compacted sand or gravel is laid and a concrete floor pad is poured over that. Neither of those are structural.
@@ericbaker6542 I think you meant; the pads are structural, the slab isn't.
maybe I missed it earlier, but why did you cut your hair?
would have had them hot dip galvanizes. Costs virtually nothing.
I'm thinking that they are trying to minimize toxins and off gassing as best as possible...
