- In this episode, we're back to work with the building of our Hybrid Homestead. From foundation footings to the ridge cap of the metal roof, we have built this ourselves. Our biggest DIY building project to date and we're very pleased with our accomplishments. The next step is to build the cupola and start plumbing the building.

Y'all should be very proud of yourselves. Not many people, any age, can do what you and Lori can do! Awesome! Looks great too!
Thank you Smitty :-)
Awwwww…. The bubbles are here. You are as happy as a child in a candy store. You will NEVER NEVER built without your “bubbles”. You made me laughed out loud. 🥰

Yeah, that electrical segment in the beginning is how I got the nickname "Sparky" from my Wife.
For someone who almost died, you are amazing! A real life version of superman. And Lori is definitely your wonder woman sidekick! ❤️❤️
Thank you my friend. The cancer and then the pulmonary embolism certainly had me circling the drain for a while but I'm too damn stubborn to quit haha :-)
Like I’ve said before, you are a finished carpenter that’s built correctly my friend. When I watch you, it reminds me of my brothers quality of work, sure do miss him. You and Lori stay safe and take care. God bless and see you on the next one
Thank you Terry and God Bless :-)
Looks good boss man the Cupolla will work well. Hunting the rut in Ohio! Doesn’t get any better than that.
Good luck hunting :-)
Sorry to hear about Frankie. 15 years in your family . but what a great 15 years. Cherhish those years. He will be missed by many. He was the greatest I've seen. Sorry for your loss boss. Hugs to all
Thank you John. He was one of a kind :c)~
You two are an awesome team. Here's to many years of happiness to come. Sending love and light.
Thank you :-)
Fantastic progress J.C and Laurie. I turned 61 this year, officially took the N.C General Contractor Exam and passed it. Currently building 4 homes under my new G.C sideline business, and a 5th home that will be for my family. Dream it, plan it, build it !! Thrilled to see that your health has allowed you to continue to pursue your dreams. We don't have any guarantees on our time here , however nobody can say I wasted mine pursuing my goals. Once I get my family home built I will purchase land above 3,000' elevation in the N.C mountains and build my camp, including a bushcraft campsite. Keep on keeping on J.C , God bless you and yours this Thanksgiving. We are blessed brother🙏
Sounds like you've got a lot going on there. Best of luck with your journey and happy Thanksgiving.
Feeling devastated & extremely sad for you both about the sad news... 😢😔 RIP Frankie...run free with the angels forever, little guy. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Thank you. We are devastated as well.
Great to find your video today. You both have much to be proud of, your work speaks for itself. You have accomplished much since your illness. Your an inspiration. Thanks for posting. Blessings

Fantastic build. It was 34 years ago i built my house. Good memories. Feels like I'm upon the roof with you.
I'm so jealous that your wife is so willing to get stuck in with DIY!
WOW! I’m speechless! I am amazed! What a wonderful thing you two have built… the building and the life. May you have many, many more healthy years to enjoy the fruits of your labors!
Thank you very much :-)

I loved how you explained how the cupola was going to work . Learned something new today. I always seen them in sap houses to vent the steam . I like how you explain the processes you show in your channel. You're a good teacher Boss, and I admire that. God bless you and Lori
"Hopefully it will fit" who are you kidding? Beautiful, and my favorite green😊 Wish I could give more than just one👍
Thank you :-)
As usual incredible people plus incredible workmanship class Double A all the way.Glad I have followed you all these years because of you I also made my off grid life dreams come true.Not to often I comment but had to say incredible.
Much appreciated!
I really admire your work ethic and talent. I'm one of those people who does not even like to climb on a step ladder. What a job and what a beautiful house. You and Lori are quite a team and I hope that whatever you decide to do in the future you will take us along with you.
You two work great together!
The colors, design, and everything about this building is beautiful. So much work done by just two people is amazing.
Thank you Marguerite :-))
You can do collar ties like that, no problem. But it's important to note what they no longer do. They no longer keep your rafters from drooping in the middle and pushing the top of your walls out. In this situation, you don't need to worry about that because your attic floor joists hold everything together. Other houses, houses that have vaulted ceilings, they would want to do rafter ties the old fashioned way, attached to the side of each rafter, preferably as low as reasonably possible. And they can double up the collar ties later, if they want to make the nailing distances the same.
Yes that is correct for applications other than what I have here, but if you view further videos you'll see knee walls and interior framing that will eliminate those potential issues.
The original "Dynamic Duo".
That tin cutter is a cool way to make slinkys!!!
That's why I bought it :-D
...what an accomplishment!!! ...CONGRATULATIONS... :)))
I loved the video. I love to watch folks at work. Never ceases to amaze me when folks build things. And when they can work together in peace, it is a work of art. The place is beautiful. Much love to you both. You rock, the both of you.❤God bless.
Thank you and blessings to you as well :-)
Behind every successful man is a good woman. A woman willing to help her man. You sir have one.
Agreed :-)
😂😂😂😂 great opening, I was shocked 😳. I love your organization and planning skills. Great to see Lori take a big part in the build. May God 🙏 continue to bless all of you with good health and happiness 💜🤞
Thank you and God Bless :-)
Thanks for your time and labor to make the video.
I would like to wish you a Happy Birthday! I'm a day early, Hopefully you see this. Thank you for all you do. Take care!
Thank you so much!
Been watching your videos for years and you always do some amazing work. Your explanations are top notch!
Thank you :-)
Looks great!! A lot of work with a lot of satisfaction in the end!!
Absolutely outstanding in look and detail. Well done sir.
Thank you :-)
JC, you and Lori will know what is right! Having some fun in your life is so important. I so appreciate all you provide and find my meager Patreon contribution well spent! Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you Joseph. I appreciate that and Happy Thanksgiving to you too.
Power shear really takes the drudgery out of the metal roof. Nice call.
Always a good day when the roof goes on!
Beautiful, TX.
For part of my working career I was a union carpenter and I have to tell you with all the breaks we had…we never got any Kissing breaks. Definitely joined the wrong union…lol.
What a great job you guys accomplished and you can see how proud you are of it!
All the best and God Bless
You two make an amazing team❤
Happy thanksgiving to you all. Thanks for all the great shows you give us. We all are blessed.
Thank You John and the same to you.
Love that electrical intro 🌩️Sparky 😉🤣❤️🇺🇸
Mornin Boss, Lori, Frankie, Tildy and Lady Layers 👋🏻. Thanks for another great video. Appreciate the smiles 😁. Y'all gotter done beautifully👍🏻👍🏻. Stay safe beautiful people. God Bless y'all and the homestead ❤🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you Sandra and God Bless :-)
Looking really GOOD!!!
Thanks and the same to you :-))
I love it when a plan comes together
Wow, 2 videos in one week, we are blessed.
Only posted 1 in 2 weeks...
Amazing! You and Lori are really a great team working together. Such a lovely structure too. You must feel so good seeing what you have accomplished! Thanks for sharing. I am exhausted just watching you!
Thank you Jennifer :-))
Great video Jc, good to see your good quality work , and not skimping on what you want. Looks great so far.
Thanks Jeff :-)
Great progress on the build, looks great too! You guys are great Team! Cheers!
Thank you Jerry :-)
You two are an inspiration to me as I begin working on my old house. Thank you for posting.
I was a little disappointed to hear you were selling the family camp and moving to another property, I guess because it was in the family for so long. Now that you may stay it brings a smile to my face. I guess it's because I really like this property and what you've done to it. I hope you stay at the old family homestead. Either way I think you guys are terrific. God Bless
Amazing couple. Thanks Boss !!!!!
DREAM TEAM in action is a beautiful sight. The place is a good reflection of your wants and needs. Well done kids haha. JC MOMMA and the Kids will put it to use I'm sure. Keep em coming bud. Take care, Enjoy
Thank you my friend :-)
Did you see that? The Boss snuck a smooch from his beautiful lady!
She can't run off when she's on the staging like that :-*
@@thebossoftheswamp 🤣🤣👍🏻

Absolutely Beautiful! You Both are amazing at living your off grid life.
Thank you so much!
Great teamwork
Thank you :-)
I was in Walpole today grinding stumps at the town office and, tho irrational, i kept thinking "I should keep an eye out for JC!" I was raking sawdust whilsin Frankie and the Boss!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING BOSS AND LORIE . ENJOY THE DAY. GOD BLESS
Amazing teamwork and fantastic finish. Thank you for the update and bringing us all along.👍🏻👌🏻
Thank you :Kevin -)
Boss and Lori, as always - BELLISSIMO!! Lori, I don't blame you for not wanting to get onto a 12/12 pitch roof! Boss, isn't the rockwool a gem to work with? When it's a tight fit I use a 6 inch joint knife to compress it and it slide right in! I was waiting for - and we're going to add strapping perpendicular to the rafters... Just a side note though I am sure you know - just for your viewers -. if you do not create an air gap between the reflective material and the sht. rock, they become one and virtually no reflection of heat back into the conditioned area takes place! Great work to the both of you!
Thanks Peter. Couldn't agree more about the insulation :-)
Love the colors you chose. Beautiful building. 👍💞
You guys are an awesome team! Beautiful and well built building
Thank you :-)
You've done well. Nothing like sweat equity.
And you could actually live in that structure, it could be a fun cabin to live in.
You should see the upstairs :-)
Wow going verry good !❤

Excellent episode! The color combo is excellent!! Thank you ☺️
Thank you! 😊
My gosh you’re a beast, not many 60 year old guys can walk a roof like you do. I know I sure can’t not even close lol
Thank you kindly :-)
Great job . My husband and I just finished our cabin and shed. We also di it ourselves.
❤❤❤ thanks
Lori your braver than I, I'm afraid of heights, not to mention I have two left hands, 🤪. Hugs to Frankie and Tildy. Blessings to you both. 😊🇺🇲
She's definitely starting to come into it haha :-D
Boss another great video. Lori and you make a great team. Your hard work pays off. Job well done.👍👍❤
Thanks so much :-)
Great insulation tips boss. Retro fitting this old house may be difficult, but will definitely take notes for the planned retirement "cabin in the woods" 💞
