    Hey Cole, last vid I made a comment talking about how these footers seemed like overkill, and this place would be intact 1000 years from now.
    I just wanted to say, I love this build. If I had the ability and resources to rebuild my family's home, I would absolutely be doing exactly what you are doing. Truth be told, this whole series has been an inspiration for me to start to do almost the same thing.
    After my father passed from cancer last year, my mother, 5 adult siblings, and myself have all been wondering what to do with the 8 bedroom house on 13 acres in the north-east that we all grew up in. The house is in pretty rough shape, and was built in the late 70's where apparently 24" on center was to code. It really needs to be gutted and rebuilt from the studs up. None of my siblings (or their spouses) are very handy and prefer the city-lifestyle. This July, after many many conversations, I took over the last few years of mortgage payments. I work in healthcare as my day job now, but was a carpenter for about 6 years out of highschool. My hope is to slowly, over time, turn this house into my family's forever home.
    I could have bought a nicer home for less money than I am planning on spending on this. But I can't buy all those memories tied to this place. I loved growing up here. I don't think I would be the person I am today if I had grown up in some cul-de-sac development, and I am proud of who I am. I know my father was too. I hope to one day have my own kids grow up in this house, God willing.
    Anyways, I'm rambling. All of this was to say, I'm sorry if you saw my comment on your last video and felt demeaned in any way by it. You are freakin' killing it my friend! You have taught me so much through these videos that I fully intend to replicate when my big project gets underway. So what if the footers are overkill? I'd rather that than the alternative 100% of the time. Put the work in now, save yourself the pain later!
    I genuinely hope you and the family (and Roman and Justin and everybody else) have a great day! Keep up the amazing work!

      I agree he should build what he wants but the issues the farm is facing and losing almost 400.000 thousand the lawsuit pending and the IRS issue, of 26000 and What that all means is they're starting out almost 400.000 in the red at the farm. It's a family operation, the house is on the family farm, and if the farm goes does the house go with it, that's why I said to cut expenses

    Ground work is weather sensitive. If you can't get it done quickly enough to avoid inclement weather, the smart thing to do is to hire people to help. You can go back to one-and-two-ing it after the footers are poured, dried and cured.

    @FRUNTCASTER 3 дні тому +66

    Howdy Cole and Roman, next time try 3-4-5 for speed -- it works on the same principle but it's way easier to layout. In example, using 3-4-5 as multiples, you just pick a number that work for the scale you want to square. In example: If you chose 6' for the number, it would look as follows. . . 6 x 3= 18' & 6 x 4= 24' & 6 x 5= 30'. . . So then, if you measure out 18', and over 24', the hypotenuse would be 30'. It's a nice little 'rule' for the hip pocket and squaring.

Cole has been saving his UA-cam profits for several years now. No fancy cars or anything like that. And he is spending those profits remodeling his great great grandfather’s mansion.

      I agree he's putting his money to a good use, but sometimes you have to use common sense, the farm took a major hit of 376.000 dollars, So I would assume it will be in the hole a lot more than that because they borrow the money from a bank for chemicals and seed, until their crops sell, if they take back to back losses the farm could be doomed, and the end of Cole's farming videos

  • @andrewjackson8421

    I know there is the expense to consider, but why don’t you buy sheets of plywood (4’x8’), rip them down the center length ways, then use them around the perimeter as your forms so you don’t keep having to dig everything out and keep the dirt from falling in? I think it would save your days of redigging everything the walls start to collapse in. Also, once the concrete is set, they can be removed and reused for something else.

That's what the building contractor is going to ask the judge. There is absolutely no reason for #6 and #7 rebar anywhere in this build. Not going to hurt anything, but it's also not going to help either.

    I have been watching your channel from the start. I was so excited when you said you were going to restore the old house. I love old homes and hate when people completely take all of the older charm out when they do a restore. I am still hoping you will use some of the old charm that was in the home. I know whatever you do it will be fantastic when you are done, which gets me to the point. Winter is coming, which means not only freezing cold but rain, then snow. I know you and Roman can do it all on your own but please bring in a concrete company to finish the concrete. The longer the concrete has to cure, the stronger it will be. Also, you can't pour concrete in the rain/snow. We all know you can do it, but to save a few weeks, which can mean a lot on a building site, please consider it. You have done the hardest part already.

    Easy shortcut to squaring. 3-4-5. Or add length for larger squares such as 6-8-10. Just double the numbers. 12-16-20. Easy! Measure the first two numbers along each leg and connect the two together to make a triangle. When the last number is spot on… it’s square. Odd that a triangle makes a square. If you make two triangle it does make a square.

I sucked at math all through school hated it with a passion. I decided 10 years after get my GED to go to college. I had to take several development classes to get me to college level and struggled so bad with math I almost quit. Then I got to this. Once I realized that I knew this but in a real life version rather than a vague idea on paper it absolutely changed my entire life.

    Watching you work in the machine shed reminded me, just a few years ago that shed would’ve been filled with corn right now. Yes, the bin site is a giant death trap, but at least the bins hold grain. You can hardly get grain into & out of them, but so far they’ve at least held corn. And the bins haven’t sunken into the ground from collapsed concrete. That’s a plus. Maybe you should move the bins to the movie theater foundation.
