Joel just wow, you are going to make that house so amazing when you're done. I can't wait until the finished project is done. You have so much energy and know how to get it all done. I love watching these videos, not that I am ever going to do any of these projects, but it's fun watching. Thank you for teaching us all how to do things.
I can honestly say I will never have to do this in my lifetime. Having said that, I cannot miss a single episode. UA-cam needed this type of channel and you are going to do very, very well Joel. (I did get a chuckle out of a typo in the description. I was wondering who TOADY was, lol.) Heather🇨🇦
Please put a hard hat on, you’re terrifying me! Side note: You’re doing an amazing job, I love watching your vision for this house come together and I cannot wait to see the finished product of all your hard work.
Hi Joel, Just watched your video and really love to see what you are doing in that house. Whether you sell it or not, it is going to be a safe place to live in. Also, say HI to your dad. I saw him walking around in the background. He is so cute and you are giving him something to do with his time. We all need that right now. Good job.
So much fun watching how this house is coming together, it's like watching HGTV and whomever buys this place when your done is going to know you didn't do anything half way!!! Glad you have an outlet during this time in our world, thanks for making content for us. Hugs to your family :)
Ha, I agree with Rosie.... I was thinking the same thing... hard hat!!! I was SO HAPPY to see that someone else was with you in case of an accident.. Doing a great job Joel...
From day1 when Joel bought this house,he saw what it could be,he's doing this on his own and enjoys working hard,seeing nothing turn into something for another family,.thanx for sharing
I love that you make it as simple as possible to explain onto my handyman who’s not a patch on you!! What a fab project to pass these sad times. Luv you guys.......... but Joel’s the main man!🤫😉💕🇬🇧👍🏼✌🏻
When you erected the support wall you erected it parallel to the trusses? We're the ceiling batons holding it or was it in an empty space on the sheet rock? Cuz if it was just sitting parallel to the trusses on empty sheet rock it wasn't really a support wall.
It looks a little funny in the video, but the trusses parallel to the beam are part of an addition to the house. The beam is supporting the roof trusses perpendicular to the beam. God eye.
I don't understand what these new beams are supporting... Your existing truss roof was designed to transfer all loads from your ceiling and roof to the outside structural walls they load on. The existing "beam" you cut away in sections was cosmetic, and used to create a separation between rooms in the previous lay-out of the home. What are your new LVL beams supporting?
Joel!! Just came from the family vlog. Even though it seems like a lot of work, it is SO worth it. Don’t doubt yourself. You can do it and it’s already amazing. We are all behind you supporting you and your family. You can do this !!!! 💪💪💪
I helped my husband do one of those and they're SO heavy! I was wondering how were you doing it by yourself?! and then I saw your dad, good thing you have him helping you. I look forward to more videos 😉
Wish I was this skilled in renovating things! love watching these vids, learning a lot from them and looking forward to seeing the house when it's all finished 😊
Joel I’m a little confused earlier in the video you mention that the load bearing wall runs perpendicular to the trusses. But the beam you replace is parallel to the trusses. So then how do you know the beam is load bearing? Thanks and I love the content you’re putting out!
You are correct, The trusses that look parallel are for the addition of the house and are not being supported by this particular beam. The beam is holding the trusses heading back into the house. Good Eye.
I am sooo enjoying this and watching Joel's dream come to fruition. Personally I'd build in half the carport and make that the master with en-suite and walk in robe giving you an extra bedroom and have the former Master as a guest room.
Great video, very helpful. For existing home with load bearing wall, Can you join two small beams using metal connector between the two together to make one long beam to get rid of a column holding up the weight?
Wow JOEL, your so informative , I think k I can build a house today 🎪😨 or mabye just a tent. 🙄 seriously this is great to watch, I watch all these shows on T V, you are going to have a beautiful home when your finished. Take care and be safe love your family 💜💜💜
Hey were in Castro valley also you might know the big red barn looking house on lessley ave Stop by I could use some tips. Removing Wall and also closet widening. Cool vidz.thx
Wow good work are you going to remove whole walls and floor in the house? Look like it all of it need remove and replace new walls and floors good luck that's lot of work and good workout too👍
Great stuff !! Just found your channel. I would have tucked the beam into the attic , to keep the ceiling flat . Was there something in the way ? Or was this the clients preference?
Lol Joel the whole time I watched this video I was thinking of that TikTok where they say, come with me and you’ll be in a world of OSHA violations. Lol. You are doing an amazing job keep up the hard work and stay safe.
Hey Joel love watching you do all this work, love all remodeling projects can watch you all day it's one of my favorites,This house is going to look amazing when done. HEY joel maybe a different camera would be better not this fish Bowl camera, I'm sure Bonnie has another one, ....
When you move a support beam you must support the beam from the ground up. You may want to remind people to make sure there is solid wood under the jack stud. You don’t won’t it sitting on the open area between floor joists
Good job, also think it’s funny you have the comment section on your channel but your other channel still blocked... keep up the good work. Good investment for the family.
Is it wrong that I still dont understand but love listening to you talk/explain things....love the merch but my head shape doesn't do caps well!!!....hoping for other options too. Love that your dad is helping too.
Not going to lie, I’m never going to remodel a house alone BUT your videos are very fun to watch. I send this to my fiancé, like a little nudge to get a fixer upper when we get married.😂
My husband subscribed to your channel because he doesn't watch vlogs (and because I told him to, lol). Can you put the other house footage from the vlog channel on here too?
Hi, I am going to do a similar job, like DIY, the engineering told me to install an LVL 2-9-1/2", they are too expensive in my city, I was planning to use a 2x12" SPF dimensional lumber (Home Depot), what do you think?
the engineering I talked to works for the wood company, lol. A normal 2x12" cost $45, I need two. The Lvl 2x9-1/2" cost $250 each. people say, I should be fine but I am not 100% confident.
Great job, Sir. Thanks for sharing. I have question: Can one replace an 18" LVL beam with a smaller one, say something around 12"? The reason I ask this question is that I want to do a renovation in my house I have been told to install 3*18" LVL 2.0E beams, but that will show up too much on the ceiling, which I don't like. I want to hide the beams in the ceiling as much as possible. So can I put, for instance, 4 LVL 12" beams (or any thing smaller than 18")?
If an engineer has specked an 18" LVL that is what I would go with, but there are other options. 1 you can recess the beam in the ceiling and hang the ceiling from it the same way I hung the floor joists. (There are tons of videos about this on youtube) 2 you can change it to a steel wide flange beam, these are heavy but shorter and take up less head room. I would have an engineer give you specks for both options. Have fun on your project you won't regret doing it.
LINCOLN'S HAIR CUT!!!! I am in support or your emotions lol. You took away baby Lincoln and got a man. I haven't cut my 2 year olds hair yet. I kind of want to but I dont want to take away from having my baby. He is my last baby.
There is really no one way to tell. You have to look at the entire house and roof trusses and floor joists to really know, but the wall we replace the beam in used to an exterior wall of the house and all exterior wall are load bearing.
What's the housing market like in UT? If you sell it, do you think you will make back the money you spent on the house? $200K+ on a termite infested home plus repairs. Cost of repairs would be something to include in the videos. Give people a good idea about the approximate cost.
Joel just wow, you are going to make that house so amazing when you're done. I can't wait until the finished project is done. You have so much energy and know how to get it all done. I love watching these videos, not that I am ever going to do any of these projects, but it's fun watching. Thank you for teaching us all how to do things.
I heard floor bearing, roof bearing....etc... I could listen to this guy for hours!!!! And not understand a single thing!
You have the best distraction project during these times good for you Joel.
Wow, I never seen a major beam being replaced by one person. Awesome job Joel
Awesome video . I had no idea I was so interested in load bearing walls and beams but I was riveted all the way through.
I can honestly say I will never have to do this in my lifetime. Having said that, I cannot miss a single episode. UA-cam needed this type of channel and you are going to do very, very well Joel. (I did get a chuckle out of a typo in the description. I was wondering who TOADY was, lol.) Heather🇨🇦
I dont build but I love watching videos like this and also love Joel. I'm super excited to see the finishing results
Please put a hard hat on, you’re terrifying me! Side note: You’re doing an amazing job, I love watching your vision for this house come together and I cannot wait to see the finished product of all your hard work.
I was thinking the same!Made me soo nervous.We only want him to be safe :)
It so cool how you are teaching us about the different wall and how it can support the house
You're awesome Joel !!! ...Nothing else to add lol !! :)....lol Dad comment @ the end !!! ...Priceless !
The highlight of my Friday is watching your Today’s Task videos! Thanks so much Joel!
Hi Joel, Just watched your video and really love to see what you are doing in that house. Whether you sell it or not, it is going to be a safe place to live in. Also, say HI to your dad.

I love these videos so much! I find home renovations one of the most interesting things to watch on UA-cam.
I love that you make it as simple as possible to explain onto my handyman who’s not a patch on you!! What a fab project to pass these sad times. Luv you guys.......... but Joel’s the main man!🤫😉💕🇬🇧👍🏼✌🏻

lol no there is not

Great video Joel. Looking forward to the kitchen remodel.
I love watching your vlog. I don't really know what the heck your talking about all the time but I enjoy it. Keep up the great job.

Your knowledge of all things remodeling is amazing! Great job.
JOEL!!!! GREAT VLOG AND VERY INTERESTING INFO. Thank you that your vlog is longer. YOUR VLOGS ARE GREAT!!! YOUR HAT IS A HIT!!
🔨🔨🔨🔨

Great job Joel I can't wait to see what you do with this house!!
Thank you boy for your time
Excellent video!
I helped my husband do one of those and they're SO heavy! I was wondering how were you doing it by yourself?! and then I saw your dad, good thing you have him helping you. I look forward to more videos 😉
Best videos on UA-cam and I watch your family vlogs too
Wish I was this skilled in renovating things! love watching these vids, learning a lot from them and looking forward to seeing the house when it's all finished 😊
I was so nervous when he was lifting the beam. I could hear bonnies voice saying " joel, Joel, oh my gosh joel be so careful!" Lol hard hat!!
Joel I’m a little confused earlier in the video you mention that the load bearing wall runs perpendicular to the trusses. But the beam you replace is parallel to the trusses. So then how do you know the beam is load bearing? Thanks and I love the content you’re putting out!

Great video, very helpful. For existing home with load bearing wall, Can you join two small beams using metal connector between the two together to make one long beam to get rid of a column holding up the weight?
No, you will need tats column or you can buy lvl that is long enough. The longer the beam, the tales the beam.
Love the video's, so informative. It's great to see such an in-depth job your doing. When your Filming with the go pro it does make me feel 🤢 though.
Love this Joel! Thank you for sharing this!
So awesome to see you and your dad working together. What size nails are you using to keep the two parts of the beam together?
I use 16 penny Rim Shank nails.
One of my favorites thus far! 👍👍👍
Always good information even if not doing a huge project!
I said to my fella the other week joal needs his own channel so glad you do now
Love the end clips lol great job!!!
I love these videos, it’s honestly my dream to buy a house and flip it, one day!!!! I’m really enjoying this channel Joel
Wow JOEL, your so informative , I think k I can build a house today 🎪😨 or mabye just a tent. 🙄 seriously this is great to watch, I watch all these shows on T V, you are going to have a beautiful home when your finished. Take care and be safe love your family 💜💜💜

Great video! Thank you!!
I know at first it seemed like a weird purchase, but now it is such a great thing to be working on in these times.
@Today's Task Why do you use nails instead of screws to secure the wood/beams/strapping? Is it because of building codes/safety/strength?
I’m loving your channel!!
When you move a support beam you must support the beam from the ground up. You may want to remind people to make sure there is solid wood under the jack stud. You don’t won’t it sitting on the open area between floor joists
Hi Joel! Awesome content. Can you explain your logo on your next video as a quick clip? I get the “T”. What is the other thing? Levels? Boards?
PLEASE MAKE “Baseball/dad style hats” too for us gals! 💖
Good job, also think it’s funny you have the comment section on your channel but your other channel still blocked... keep up the good work. Good investment for the family.
I love these videos TFS

Not going to lie, I’m never going to remodel a house alone BUT your videos are very fun to watch. I send this to my fiancé, like a little nudge to get a fixer upper when we get married.😂
i love this channel!
Joel is so freakin awesome 👏
Love these videos!!
I love u and the fam 💖
My husband subscribed to your channel because he doesn't watch vlogs (and because I told him to, lol). Can you put the other house footage from the vlog channel on here too?
Haha the microphone cover, it looked more like our eyelashes... And we are really there in person, what you're recording.

Do they sell the LVL'S by the foot, I know that is how I buy mine.
What was the nailing pattern for the lvl?
Great job, Sir. Thanks for sharing. I have question: Can one replace an 18" LVL beam with a smaller one, say something around 12"?

Impressive! How did you come up with your channel name and logo?
Thank you. I am no longer intimidated.
How long did this job take in real time?
about 2 house. The work part is pretty quick, but the prep and time to think through every step takes most of the time.
🏗 🛠 🗜 🔩 🔧 🧰 🚧 moving right along.
Lol, when the hammer went flying during the outtakes.
HEYYYY JOEL JUST WANNA SAY I LOVEEEE YOUR FAMILY. I WISH I COULD COMMENT ON BONNIES CHANNEL BUT AT LEAST I CAN ON THIS ONE. LOL ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤ so fun to watch!
I wish you would of done some time lapse videos idk maybe you still can that would be awesome
Hey Joel, where did you buy the sand when you leveled your yard? I’m also in Logan and wanting to do the same project!
I bought it from parsons cement. It is the filtered sand
Nice job Bob the builder! Put to shame!
Love the hat. This is the perfect channel for you, I love watching this stuff.
You make it look so easy Lol
Exciting! :)
LINCOLN'S HAIR CUT!!!! I am in support or your emotions lol. You took away baby Lincoln and got a man. I haven't cut my 2 year olds hair yet. I kind of want to but I dont want to take away from having my baby. He is my last baby.
How do you know if a wall is load barring?
There is really no one way to tell. You have to look at the entire house and roof trusses and floor joists to really know, but the wall we replace the beam in used to an exterior wall of the house and all exterior wall are load bearing.
Probably should have a helmet on bro. Watching that 2x skating underneath those LVL beams as you were raising it gave me anxiety.
that is so cool
Measure twice, cut once 👍🏼
