The cement they poured was what is called the footing. They are suppose to go a certain width and a certain depth. By code. Then the blocks they put on top of that is the foundation. Then you build the walls on top of that.
@@blakerhIt's one month for the (low quality) spec houses I've done cabinetry in. Granted, they don't require much land prep but they are 3- 4 bedroom
This is a "stick" built house & is probably about half finished. We would refer to a house at this point being "dried in", i.e., it's pretty much weather proof from any rain or snow. However, they need to get the roof on ASAP. I have a house up in the mountains of Idaho. The main house was an existing 2 - bedroom, 2 - bath. There was no garage when I bought it. I built an attached 3 - car garage with a "mother-in-law" apartment above it for my Mom. I designed the apt. "loft" style with a large deck on one end & a balcony on the other. In June of this yr. we had 2 separate hail storms come through about 15 min. apart with hail stones the size of golf balls. I had put a new metal (snow) roof on the entire house when I added the garage & apt. 10 yrs. ago. The hail damaged the roof but luckily I had homeowner's ins. A roofing contractor came by & replaced the entire metal (copper color) roof. The ins. co. sent me the checks & I paid the contractor. The total cost for replacing my entire metal roof was just over $42,000.00! By the way, the framing that they were doing in the corner, triangle going all the way up with an opening in the bottom, is for the fireplace.
Back in 1995, I was on a 4 man build crew. We would arrive on site with a concrete slab (or raised like this one) with water and electrical coming in through the slab. (No basements) And we would build everything to turnkey (move in ready) within three months for a 4 bedroom or smaller house. No power tools besides a table saw. Hand nailed everything. We never failed an inspection. I'm sure they're much faster now.
Love these guys! Perkins Builder Brothers build great houses in North Carolina..and the guys really have a fun time doing it. Usually a build like this will take 3-6 months to complete.
Building near the edge looks beautiful but extra care needs to be taken that the ground is stable or the house will slide down. My two story took my family close to 3 years to build but it can be done. The corner that you thought was a lift I think was for a fireplace and chimney.
I recognize this house. It is a “Perkins Builder Brothers” home. They have a UA-cam channel. They design and build custom homes. The brothers’ names are Eric Perkins, who is the oldest and Jamie Perkins. Most of the homes these guys build are in Western North Carolina. Depending on the size of the house, it can take as long as 3 to 4 months to build.
I was thinking this looked like Southern Appalachia. The whole build was done in the winter (no leaves on the trees), but I didn’t see any snow on the mountains.
@@nathanmeece9794 nope, they are currently working on their latest house build. they do new builds 90% of the time, they've done a one renovation and a few smaller projects while things on other sites are either delayed or waiting for other contractors to finish up what they're doing.
I'm a retired custom home builder in Missouri. A custom home typically takes between 6-9 months to complete, depending on size and design. Some can take longer. A subdivision house usually takes about 3 months. It's more of a mass production thing.
I used to frame houses and it would take myself and two other guys to frame an average sized ranch style home ready for electricians, plumbers, HVAC in a few days as long as everything went as planned. That’s just the framing though, there’s more to building a home. From breaking ground to finish its probably a couple months as long as everything passes inspection and there isn’t any hiccups.
That’s a nail gun they’re “stapling” with. I suppose nailing and stapling are technically the same thing, but with each tap it is firing an iron nail into building timber hard enough that they don’t stop until the head is flush against the wood.
We would usually have a house dried-in in 2 weeks or less! But you have to realize that having a house weather-tight is only 1/3 of the job, most of the work happens on the inside!
...and the location, weather can play a part sometimes, hickups in funding, permits, changes in design, landscaping, getting septic, water, electricity onto the property etc. A cliff side home has to be surveyed and landscaped etc. We didn't see it in the video, but it was already leveled and a drive put in. That doesn't take forever to do, but it doesn't happen overnight. If this was built in my neck of the woods, it could take as long as 2yrs to build. Not that it takes that long to actually make the home, but to get permits, environmental impact studies can take a very long time and cost from 10s to hundreds of thousands of dollars before the first shovel touches the ground. Stupid California is stupid.
Back in the 1990s, my mom was finally able to design her dream house and have it built. It wasn’t anything fancy-3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, 2 story modified Cape Cod, but it had everything she’d been thinking about putting in a house. I lived there for a few years, and was amazed at how often people would drive by and just stop to stare at it. Once, a guy actually got out of his car and came up asking if he could walk around the house he was so intrigued, and Mom actually agreed! He loved the inside as much as the outside. When she sold it to move to the East Coast, it was only on the market for a matter of days.
Rain snow or sun shine we are always building, it dont ever stop... timing on a house from start to finish like this probably went for about 8 months to 1 year
With an experienced crew, the basic structure of a "stick-built" home from foundation to roof can be built in a matter of a few weeks. Depends on size of the home, weather, how long of a work day, etc. It's the detail work that takes up the most time.
If you like watching home building, you picked the right channel. Perkins Brothers is one of the best building channels on UA-cam IMO. They do fantastic work and are fun to watch.
Houses can be built from a couple days (like prefab houses) to months/years for larger homes like this. Location can also be a factor for time. I think this house took about 8 months? I have watched the original 3 hour video and they had some issues with getting the right stuff delivered on time, trucks didn't have much space to turn around so they had to go backwards down the winding drive...all sorts of stuff slowed them down, but they still got the job done.
Lived in Wisconsin for my first 65 years. All the houses have basements under most or all of the house. We did add a sunroom and it had a footwall, with insulation under a cement slap.
The foundation construction was interesting -- we have some older houses of that style in my part of the US, but you almost never see a new one being build. Almost every new house here starts with a basement (a concrete lower level partially or fully below ground), or at least a concrete slab under the whole building.
There at the end you see it took 25 days to get the house to that point which is considered in the 'dry' from that point it really slows down depending on the owners preferences on the finish work which is usually another 3-5 months.
How long it takes depends on many different things. Size and how complicated the design are two of the biggest factors. But the size of the work crew and how experienced they are is also a big factor. If you have a crew of 10 experienced people it`s going to go a lot faster than if you have 5 experienced people and 5 new people that need direction and extra supervision. Weather can also slow things down, at least up to the point you have the walls and roof up. Friend of mine just had a new house built. Simple one story medium size. Ready to move into in less than 3 months. On the other hand, my new neighbor about a quarter mile northeast of my place built a very large and fancy house. They started it in March 2023 and it`s still not completely finished. But to be fair to the builders, it sounded like the owner kept wanting to change things during the building process and I bet that slowed them down a lot.
This is called the FRAMING of the House. Next will come, Roofing Windows, Exterior Doors. Then, Siding, then inside, plumping, electrical, then drywall, cabinets, flooring.
Crazy thing is we have habitat for humanity and basically they get volunteers to help. Me and fellow coworkers went and helped and with 2 rainy days they already had the foundation, first and 2nd floor framed and on the 3rd day we got the roof, both porches done, siding, and all windows and doors done. They do it for families in need and its super cool seeing how fast it comes together with just extra hands
I built a home in this same area on the side of a mountain with the same method and materials except the basement was poured concrete rather than blocks. I lived there 15 yrs. with a gorgeous view. I miss it. It survived Hurricane Helene with no damage while below it everything was under water.
They have custom prebuilt houses you can order online and they will deliver and set it up within 60 - 120 days of when you order it. The more fancier the longer it takes. It comes with plumbing and electric wires, in fact alot of the houses on the shore coast are prebuilt these days. This is why they all look the same. The homes are built in a warehouse out of the weather which is the number 2 cause of time delays in construction projects. The first is inspections, but that can be easily take care of with a nice donation to the mayor.
To see the end product, and also get some insight on how long this home took to build you can check their final video on their mountain cabin series here: ua-cam.com/video/cuVJP3CnOB0/v-deo.htmlsi=TLU0Z1echFswn9z_ . They claim this was their longest project to date (10 months) but that was primarily caused by lack of materials and damaged materials being delivered and needing to be replaced. Perkins Builder Brothers have quite a few of these building series which are more daily vlog style but are super interesting and they love to add helpful building and safety tips all throughout their videos!
This build is on their channel from start to finish in real time (complete with one of they guys who lost a few fingers in an accident and his recovery.)
It would be very fast if a home in the US was built in 6 months. Probably more like a year. A large custom home (maybe in a remote location) like this would probably be longer.
These guys used cinder blocks, but a lot of contractors just pour the concrete up higher instead (using plywood forms, which they remove after it dries). Especially if there's a basement. Then they just dig the ditch 5 feet deeper.
Had to laugh when you asked if a house takes a year to build. Here in the desert southwest USA a house takes 3 months from start to finish including waiting for the inspections. Now on the other hand that depends on size of house a big one like one in video probably 6 months or more because of the remote area house in. A shame they didn’t build the house with all glass walls on the side facing down into that valley NOW that would have been spectacular
Not all homes are built the same way. I have built many traditional style stick frame over a slab. Built a few different types of log homes. Built panel style homes(foam and steel). Then there are different types of foundations. Small cookie cutter homes can be fast, custom homes can take years. One log home I built took 6 months to build the house and 5 months to trim it out.
It's interesting to see how some homes are built. Here in CA most new spec homes are slab on grade, where some older homes are above grade wood flooring. For a while my buddy was designing custom hillside homes which he liked to call, house on a box. They were basically a slab with 3 sides of a box 10'+ high reinforced block wall and then also tied back to the hillside. You fall from the patio, and it was a long straight drop to the ground. They had beautiful views, but no backyard and very narrow one-way streets. Not worth the $1.5 to $4 million, they are going for now.
I built a lot of houses when I was in my 20's & 30's and I can say that unless you are building a mansion, it takes 2 to 4 months for anything smaller than six bedrooms.
As a retired builder in Nevada, I just want to know where they found such perfectly straight boards. Plus, the codes at this site are obviously different than where I worked. This stemwall and floor joist construction would never be passed by our inspectors.
Wow, it's the Perkins Builder Brothers!!!! My favorite guys -- you should see the "Mega House" they're building right now. They do their thing in the Smoky mountains of North Carolina. Everything they do is custom built. They're the funniest crew, also. I love tuning in every few days to see the latest post. Sooooo Cool!
Building a basement would be very expensive because they'd have to drill and blast the bedrock right under the soil which you saw them hitting just digging up the dirt for the foundation. Plus there is a matter of stability. Blasting the rock might just make the cliff side unstable
You need to check out a video by Faris and Lisa called "One year timelapse building our custom home." It shows everything from start to finish and she gives the cost of everything. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. 🙂👍
Yeah I'm with you would love the location that the house is being built, but I would probably want some piers sunk down to granite or as close as I could get to granite because just being on the dirt side unless it's all Stone under it I would be nervous about a slide.
as a builder i noticed a lot of code discrepancies. this house would have failed in the east coast. of America or it would cause a lot of maintenance issues to the new owner.
There seem to be some misconceptions about this kind of home building in the UK. But there is nowhere where you won't find this kind if construction. If you go to the older parts of the states that were first settled - New England, the eastern seaboard and San Francisco, you will see a lot of brick. that's the way the europeans were used to building and that's how they built the first cities. Once you start to head south or inland, the practicalities of using bricks disappear. In the early settlements they built brick factories - and a great number of bricks were shipped to North America. Which sounds stupid, but they were required to act as ballast, on sailing ships that would return to Europe with their holds packed with cargo. As soon as you get away from the city, putting bricks and mortar onto carts to go onto trails made no sense at all. Settlers switched to single storey wooden houses, built around a big heavy fireplace and chimney made with fieldstone's. Where towns were founded, larger buildings were needed, and single logs would rarely suffice - plus land became an issue of price, if you were building a saloon, you would want to boost your income, so putting a second or more floors on would get you the best return on your lot. To go higher, and install intermediate floors, strategically designed framing was necessary. To make the framing as strong as possible, a framed wall would have its studs at right angles to the frame, and meeting the inner and outer walls - that four inches between became a natural place to put some form of insulation/sound barrier, And because the studs were wood, and four inches wide, there was room to run pipes and lines inside the walls, whether it was for running water, toilet plumbing, kitchens, gas, or electricity. - these sorts of refinements never made their way into many older UK homes, where pipes must be exposed, and radiators bolted to brick walls instead of neatly ducted in - its also this kid of flexibility that was the birth of the built in and walk-in closet. Wood is a poor conductor of heater cold, especially with an insulated gap. If you go to parts of the midwest, and across to Montana, Idaho and up into the Canadian Prairies, these houses will sit in colder than minus forty in the winter and hotter that plus forty in the summer. They don't buckle, like some UK houses would. The doors don't start to get jammed and the windows don't become impossible to open or close when the temperature or humidity change. They will hold heating and they will hold A/C. They have massive advantages in "performance" are easy to source materials for, since lumber can be shipped easier than bricks, and as well as being very useful as simple dimensional lumber, nowadays a lot of wood is "engineered". When you go into an American house or see an American garage attached to a house that is four or more cars wide, that is pretty much only possible because of engineered wood. Laminating and pressing techniques and form shapes that are similar in strength as steel beams. You build you walls for them and a truck with the fully formed engineered joists brings them in and with its own crane, lifts them into position for the builder to simply fix in place. - a common misconception about old UK homes is that everybody must have been very short. - an idea that gathers strength when people go into old houses. Old British homes weren't built with two floors. They didn't have the technology to build a span of more than a few feet. houses were single floors and had high roofs to alleviate the problem of open fires burning in the house. When the technology to build a floor span of more than a few metres, many people crammed in a a second floor to create more "space" despite the fact that the correct height for two floors wasn't there. and even if you go to the most expensive and lavishly built palaces from the old days, where expense wasn't an issue, whether you go into the science museum or Downton Abbey - or old cathedrals, there is a cavernous hallway up the centre which goes right up to a light arched roof, all rooms on the upper floor are run around the outside of that central area. This was not to create a grand entrance, it was simply that no technology existed to install a floor spanning that distance. With engineered would, a relatively modest American house can have open plan designs or multi car garages quite easily. A four car garage would normally be about 40' wide, and maybe 24' - 30' deep, with no interior supporting walls required.
Depends on who is doing the bldg, if they sdo it daily or as a hobby, now, the complexity of the build & brick & mortar or wood, etc...& funding, if homeowners are doing t6he "finishing work' &/or how much of it they'll be doing... Roofing? Painting? Tiling etc... it's called too many factors, on avg tho, I'd say best case a month or two if fast inspections happen, and crew competent enough to pass 1st go-'round. Longer if not... Worst case I ever heard abt, was near 3 years, but the owners were doing a lot of the "finishing" - Location also a big factor... are roads passable, year 'round, or - maybe yes, maybe no? (This looks like one of the latter). My guess is the owners were finishing the rest of the house... but just a guess.
Here's a link that shows a different home build with the finished product: ua-cam.com/video/C3iI6S7TuCA/v-deo.htmlsi=TUdRbIyec5Fga9ZD I believe the video that you showed was filmed over 25 days. BTW... most American home builds take an average of 3-6 months from beginning until move-in. Larger, custom-built homes may take longer. Here's another link to a log home build that shows the end result: ua-cam.com/video/_rvoIFiSZmc/v-deo.htmlsi=jPumvrbSqT_y6DsU

The cement they poured was what is called the footing. They are suppose to go a certain width and a certain depth. By code.
Then the blocks they put on top of that is the foundation.
Then you build the walls on top of that.
i follow these builders theye live a couple hours from me I think this house took about 3 months from start to finish
How big was the house and how much did it cost to put up per square foot? Including permits and land?
3 months? No way. It took at least 6-9 months to complete it.

Had to laugh when you asked if a house takes a year to build. Here in the desert southwest USA a house takes 3 months from start to finish including waiting for the inspections. Now on the other hand that depends on size of house a big one like one in video probably 6 months or more because of the remote area house in.
A shame they didn’t build the house with all glass walls on the side facing down into that valley NOW that would have been spectacular
Not all homes are built the same way. I have built many traditional style stick frame over a slab. Built a few different types of log homes. Built panel style homes(foam and steel). Then there are different types of foundations. Small cookie cutter homes can be fast, custom homes can take years. One log home I built took 6 months to build the house and 5 months to trim it out.
I got to see the finished home. I was beautiful. Perkins Brothers builders.🥰
It's interesting to see how some homes are built. Here in CA most new spec homes are slab on grade, where some older homes are above grade wood flooring. For a while my buddy was designing custom hillside homes which he liked to call, house on a box. They were basically a slab with 3 sides of a box 10'+ high reinforced block wall and then also tied back to the hillside. You fall from the patio, and it was a long straight drop to the ground. They had beautiful views, but no backyard and very narrow one-way streets. Not worth the $1.5 to $4 million, they are going for now.
At the end, it said Day 25, so I would believe it took 25 days to get that far.
I built a lot of houses when I was in my 20's & 30's and I can say that unless you are building a mansion, it takes 2 to 4 months for anything smaller than six bedrooms.
As a retired builder in Nevada, I just want to know where they found such perfectly straight boards. Plus, the codes at this site are obviously different than where I worked. This stemwall and floor joist construction would never be passed by our inspectors.
Depending on location ( due to building codes and weather) 45 to 90 days. Over the years I have worked in thousands of new homes.
What? That is real time. 10 mins to dry in. That's how we roll in the US. Of course the permitting process took a year and a half.
Great reaction!. I would love to see the completed project.
Wow, it's the Perkins Builder Brothers!!!! My favorite guys -- you should see the "Mega House" they're building right now. They do their thing in the Smoky mountains of North Carolina. Everything they do is custom built. They're the funniest crew, also. I love tuning in every few days to see the latest post. Sooooo Cool!
Millie, now you need to watch How American homes are built, start to finish. They give the complete breakdown of each phase including a basement
Crazy to me to build on a hillside/cliffside and not have a basement. Especially considering how nice this house is.
Building a basement would be very expensive because they'd have to drill and blast the bedrock right under the soil which you saw them hitting just digging up the dirt for the foundation. Plus there is a matter of stability. Blasting the rock might just make the cliff side unstable
@@SilvaDreams If blasting was required in this case, then ok, but it certainly isn't in most hill or cliff sides.
In wet States, the roof goes up before the floor (except the floor frame...that goes in as here).
Amazing how a team of men, who know what they are doing, could achieve in a short time.
Think about this: of all of the high tech building material that they have to work with, one of the most advance that you will see here is *string*.
Build time 3 to 7 months depending on type of house, excluding McMansions
You need to check out a video by Faris and Lisa called "One year timelapse building our custom home." It shows everything from start to finish and she gives the cost of everything. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. 🙂👍
I think it 3 or 4 months to build a house,depending on how big it is and if the weather cooperates.
You might as well make part two to show the completion of the house.
Just the exterior. The interior takes a lot more work ;-)
"Is that a little wraparound porch?" No, that's a giant wraparound porch.
Weather delays can slow things down by several months.
At the end of your video there was one you could click in the bottom corner that was over 2 hrs long showing the build.
Millie in the description on \the original video (not Lav/Thurston's) it said this framing project took about 2 months
Did you hear about the all female construction crew? They would use no studs. It would all be tongue 'n' groove. Yes, those are home building terms.
Yeah I'm with you would love the location that the house is being built, but I would probably want some piers sunk down to granite or as close as I could get to granite because just being on the dirt side unless it's all Stone under it I would be nervous about a slide.
as a builder i noticed a lot of code discrepancies. this house would have failed in the east coast. of America or it would cause a lot of maintenance issues to the new owner.
I had a home on a ridge in the mountains. I'm with you. That is definately too close.
Generally, it takes about 6 months +- to build an average size custom home. When it's all dried in you're about halfway there.
A lot of houses have basements so they dig deep and start there.
A decent builder in my area can complete a home in approximately 90 days.
They are just framers, they don't usually do the finishing
There seem to be some misconceptions about this kind of home building in the UK. But there is nowhere where you won't find this kind if construction. If you go to the older parts of the states that were first settled - New England, the eastern seaboard and San Francisco, you will see a lot of brick. that's the way the europeans were used to building and that's how they built the first cities. Once you start to head south or inland, the practicalities of using bricks disappear. In the early settlements they built brick factories - and a great number of bricks were shipped to North America. Which sounds stupid, but they were required to act as ballast, on sailing ships that would return to Europe with their holds packed with cargo.
As soon as you get away from the city, putting bricks and mortar onto carts to go onto trails made no sense at all. Settlers switched to single storey wooden houses, built around a big heavy fireplace and chimney made with fieldstone's. Where towns were founded, larger buildings were needed, and single logs would rarely suffice - plus land became an issue of price, if you were building a saloon, you would want to boost your income, so putting a second or more floors on would get you the best return on your lot. To go higher, and install intermediate floors, strategically designed framing was necessary.
To make the framing as strong as possible, a framed wall would have its studs at right angles to the frame, and meeting the inner and outer walls - that four inches between became a natural place to put some form of insulation/sound barrier, And because the studs were wood, and four inches wide, there was room to run pipes and lines inside the walls, whether it was for running water, toilet plumbing, kitchens, gas, or electricity. - these sorts of refinements never made their way into many older UK homes, where pipes must be exposed, and radiators bolted to brick walls instead of neatly ducted in - its also this kid of flexibility that was the birth of the built in and walk-in closet. Wood is a poor conductor of heater cold, especially with an insulated gap. If you go to parts of the midwest, and across to Montana, Idaho and up into the Canadian Prairies, these houses will sit in colder than minus forty in the winter and hotter that plus forty in the summer. They don't buckle, like some UK houses would. The doors don't start to get jammed and the windows don't become impossible to open or close when the temperature or humidity change. They will hold heating and they will hold A/C. They have massive advantages in "performance" are easy to source materials for, since lumber can be shipped easier than bricks, and as well as being very useful as simple dimensional lumber, nowadays a lot of wood is "engineered". When you go into an American house or see an American garage attached to a house that is four or more cars wide, that is pretty much only possible because of engineered wood. Laminating and pressing techniques and form shapes that are similar in strength as steel beams. You build you walls for them and a truck with the fully formed engineered joists brings them in and with its own crane, lifts them into position for the builder to simply fix in place. - a common misconception about old UK homes is that everybody must have been very short. - an idea that gathers strength when people go into old houses. Old British homes weren't built with two floors. They didn't have the technology to build a span of more than a few feet. houses were single floors and had high roofs to alleviate the problem of open fires burning in the house. When the technology to build a floor span of more than a few metres, many people crammed in a a second floor to create more "space" despite the fact that the correct height for two floors wasn't there.
and even if you go to the most expensive and lavishly built palaces from the old days, where expense wasn't an issue, whether you go into the science museum or Downton Abbey - or old cathedrals, there is a cavernous hallway up the centre which goes right up to a light arched roof, all rooms on the upper floor are run around the outside of that central area. This was not to create a grand entrance, it was simply that no technology existed to install a floor spanning that distance. With engineered would, a relatively modest American house can have open plan designs or multi car garages quite easily. A four car garage would normally be about 40' wide, and maybe 24' - 30' deep, with no interior supporting walls required.

I am currently building a 4k sq ft house. It will take about 9-12 months to finish.
WOW YOU GUYS STILL ON YOU TUBE😊
Depends on who is doing the bldg, if they sdo it daily or as a hobby, now, the complexity of the build & brick & mortar or wood, etc...& funding, if homeowners are doing t6he "finishing work' &/or how much of it they'll be doing... Roofing? Painting? Tiling etc... it's called too many factors, on avg tho, I'd say best case a month or two if fast inspections happen, and crew competent enough to pass 1st go-'round. Longer if not... Worst case I ever heard abt, was near 3 years, but the owners were doing a lot of the "finishing" - Location also a big factor... are roads passable, year 'round, or - maybe yes, maybe no? (This looks like one of the latter).
My guess is the owners were finishing the rest of the house... but just a guess.
Plot twist the video was in real time and they really built it in 10 minutes :D
6:10 hoar frost.
You can even 3D print a house now...
Millie,are you going to look on their channel and see the series for this house?Do some more reactions to it
America welcomes you♡
I have seen houses fully built in 5 or 6 days from clear lot to the time the roof goes on a typical 2 story (indiana) this does not include a basement
This is as much as the framers do. The rest of the work will be done by other contractors.
Here's a link that shows a different home build with the finished product:
ua-cam.com/video/C3iI6S7TuCA/v-deo.htmlsi=TUdRbIyec5Fga9ZD
I believe the video that you showed was filmed over 25 days. BTW... most American home builds take an average of 3-6 months from beginning until move-in. Larger, custom-built homes may take longer.
Here's another link to a log home build that shows the end result:
ua-cam.com/video/_rvoIFiSZmc/v-deo.htmlsi=jPumvrbSqT_y6DsU
This looks like North Carolina to me.
Most houses take 13 weeks to build
6 to 8 months or more there’s a video of the complete house n it didn’t take them that long took 90 days
Not staplers. Nail guns.
Enjoyed the carpentry. At 9:19, what hand brace is that.
Jamie is wearing a 3 finger prosthetic made by Naked Prosthetics after losing most of his fingers in an equipment accident in 2020. He is a brand ambassador for Naked Prosthetics and has an entire series where he explains what happened and his recovery process after the accident. There are obviously some NSFW medical images and progress steps shown in the series so be prepared for stitches, swelling, and other not so pretty images if you wish to watch that series. Just look for "The Accident... The Recovery" in their playlists if interested.
These guys are great. I love watching their content…they are informative and funny. Likable guys for sure. The full playlist for this house where you see it finished is here: ua-cam.com/play/PL8XEQ1XKYNDW1io7yoHJMZLXIjVmckbaX.html&si=Z9wmWUNLbchZTW-F
Its a mountain top, not a cliff,.so to speak.
I hate it when they don't finish it in the video 😮
Is there A typical American house?
🎉🎉❤❤
Wheres James? Just curious. This is the second video I've seen without him.
That house was built next to a cliff so that’s not a great idea at all 😂
the stapling isn't hard ,,,,,,bending over for 8 to 10 hours is !
So stupid to build that close to a cliff! Normal rain is going to wear the edge away quickly. The house will go downhill before it's paid off
Nope, erosion is a thing.
Give you a few insights you talk about New Jersey I live in New York do your homework New Jersey was the last state to free slaves second why y'all so obsessed with America this is the most racist country on the face of the planet it it bothers me to see people from other countries so obsessed with this country like it's the best thing on the planet when it's the worst
We live in Jersey Channel Islands. The island next to England :D not New Jersey
@TheBeesleys99 okay make that clear
