You don't owe us anything. I just appreciate your family letting us watch this wonderful build. Family first. The viewers don't understand, well too bad. 😊👍.
Exactly! "I know this isn't moving as fast as we'd all like"... Please Paul, take your time and don't hurry things along because some viewers feel they are entitled to a certain number of videos per month and make comments to that effect. Pace yourself, so that you don't risk burn-out. I'm sure most of your subscribers would prefer a slow pace and getting to follow along all the way to the end, if the alternative was to get videos at a fast pace but never getting to see the process the whole way through. Whatever urgency you feel to "get it done", let that be your own urgency, not something imposed on you by others.
I appreciate the safety tips as a reminder to always being aware when using power tools. I am a weekend warrior in Australia and always learning. I loved your little ones helping to lift the wall frame. As a father I know how kids love to help dad do things.
Definitely stay safe Paul. Although we really look forward to your video's, your safety and happiness with your family is paramount. You are so right about children's curiosity and wanting to copy mum and dad. All my accidents happened because I was rushing. Thank you for the safety reminder. Lovely to see your children helping daddy raise a stud wall.
Paul, I've watched a lot of construction how to videos over the years, and these that you have done have got to be just about the best that I've ever watched. Very enjoyable, informative and I thank you for sharing. Kudos to you for the professional way that you have described what you are doing, why you are doing it and how you have presented all of it to us. One of the best parts that I've seen so far is how you have involved your children in what you do, especially when you have your young son helping you work from a ladder, and keeping him safe. Teaching him in a way that really works. I must admit that my father never did that with me. Thank you again.
No need to apologize to us for anything, my dude. You have to take care of your family, and you are building your family's new home. No need to rush that. Take all the time you need to do it right and well. 👍 And I loved seeing your baby girls help you raise the wall. 🤗 I think it's wonderful you're including them in the process where they safely can be involved. They will remember those moments.
I agree with the folks below. You're killing this build and doing exactly what you preach, take your time, be safe. I've watched thousands of videos on YT, and I'm a fabricator/welder myself. Your craftsmanship is beyond great. Your ability to explain the process is awesome. I'm hooked, lol, thanks for the videos. Love it.
If someone is being impatient for new episodes, ignore them. You're doing great. Channel is great. Thanks for sharing your house project with everyone.
Paul, you don’t need to apologize for going slow. I’m very amazed at how fast you are processing, especially doing the vast majority of the work all by yourself.
Don't apologize for your schedule. Just put out your videos when you're ready. You have taken on a huge project and your pretty much doing it by yourself.
Dear Sir! Your Pace! is fine! do the job right in all areas of living. Your family is the first and most important job you have, the house will get done and be done well. Thank you for the stuff you share.
Me and my wife enjoy watching you, we from Zimbabwe (we are in indefinite lockdown) and your videos have added awesome entertainment value. There is something for everyone, keep at it and awesome work.
Another awesome episode. I learned something in every episode. I can't wait until you're finished so that I can binge watch the complete build! Thanks for sharing.
Very enjoyable and informative. I wish I had your videos 30 years ago when I rebuilt our home. I made lots of rookie mistakes but I guess it worked out over time it because we still live in the house and its still standing. Stay safe....
Your kicking ass on the build especially that your doing everything yourself just like me. It takes time to think about things, order materials, clean the job to make it look good for the video, film the video, edit the video and to take care of your family in the process. The only way to avoid delays is to hire labor but that comes with other responsibilities and cost. I'm building my home right now and am in basically the same phase of construction as you are in and am doing it without hiring any labor and have a family at the same time to take care of. Our home is a three and a 1/3 story geodesic dome home with a 50 foot diameter dome that is connected to a 20 foot diameter dome and is 5,342 plus square feet. Our garage is going to be a separate building that will be about a 70 foot diameter geodesic dome home. The garage will be built out of pipe and SIP's. Then we plan on building a40 x 60 timber frame shop for wood working so that we can build our own Arts & Crafts furniture. We also plan on building a large timber frame green house. We are located on over 5 acres in the Pacific Northwest.
@@MrPostFrame Yes, I am the one who sent you picks on Facebook. Your doing a fantastic job and I hope to gain knowledge. It's supper nice that your teaching people how they can save money by doing it themselves. Most people don't know or understand this way of life that both you and I are doing debt free. It's a wonderful way to live.
So far this is the best content I've seen on UA-cam. I've been watching house flips, new construction, remodels, etc. and so far your videos have been the best (in my opinion) Just what I've been looking for. Thank you. Keep up the good work!
Nice video, great advice on safety! You are 100% right, as soon as a task is rushed, that when accidents occur. I worked for a place that insisted on speed to reduce product scrap, the machines kept running while you swapped out the area where the finished product was completed, so while these areas were attended to, it was scrap product. Instead of investing in the necessary equipment to do this safely, they basically cut corners, which at times resulted in some pretty bad injuries.
When you have the opening in the wall marked, cut on the bottom of plate about 1/2" to make it easy to remove the material after the wall is secure. On concrete it save your blade, on wood it is just easier to cut the plate out.
I'm watching your videos . I'm very proud of you . You stuck to it I'm very impressed that you did all that work by yourself. If I ever get a piece of property I am encouraged to do my work myself. Well I would need help but I won't be getting no contractor. Thank you so much.
Looking awesome bud !!!! Great videos !!!! It’s good to see you practice saftey, that’s always a good thing. So looking forward to see the final project. Cheers
I often try to frame door openings a good 5” from a corner, and that will offer enough room (barely) to trim around the doorway. If my trim work is larger and more decorative, I try to go even farther from a corner. And if possible, I try to ensure that there is at least 2” of visible wallboard at the end of it all.... avoiding a trim board pushing into a corner.
Don't sweat the pace your working, I've seen a whole crew of union workers here in Chicago not get as much as you done in a day , lol. I would also add to your safety to be careful what you lift in weight. I used to lift stuff that was very heavy and I had no limits to what I would attempt to lift and it hurt me over the years. Now that Im 49 I can't lift any thing very heavy at all or I get back pain that can last months. One time in my youth, I moved a hot water heater out of an electrical room in a commercial building that wouldn't drain. It was nearly full 80 gal tank and I used a furniture dolly. I moved it but the strain was so bad my muscles pushed urine into my testicles and they got inflamed and swelled up to baseball size and I could barely walk. I had to go to the hospital and have a nurse perform ultrasound on my junk to make sure I didn't blow one of them up. I survived but defiantly not worth a hot water tank. I guess the lesson is if you can use mechanical means to lift something, I would try to use it because over time it damages your body.
Paul, please use a couple of LED front light to compensate bright backgrounds lighting (in this case the windows). Often detail is lost due to over lighting. The for uploading this fine video series!
My Dad built houses for 50 years, I don't know anything about building houses, it has been cool seeing you do this! I built lots of decks with him but no houses! Safety, is an issue, he lost 2 inside fingers on his left hand just the tips! He passed away twenty years ago!!
Have you ever looked into advanced framing. Sure seems like the way your framing, especially the non-load bearing walls, its a lot of extra wood in the walls? Also why not use 24" centers instead of 16"? Other than those questions, glad to watch you build. Hopefully I will start to build my family's pole barn.
for the next project, look into "advanced framing" techniques. Especially in non-load-bearing situations 24" on-center is more than sufficient, and if you line up studs to joists/rafters then a single top-plate is more than sufficient as well.
Let me start by saying I look forward to your videos and thank you for sharing your expertise with us. I have zero experience in framing, but I was wondering & I noticed about 3 others ask, shouldn't you have put drywall up on the ceiling first? Like I said I have no experience, just wondering? Thanks again.
Thanks for the question... it would actually make the framing more difficult in this case since the height is 8'. We could have considered it if they were higher.
I hope your using passage doors for closets. In the last 5 years I’ve pulled more bi fiolds out and put in double passage doors. My biggest beef is you cant buy say a 90 inch high door, since a 96 is too tall for 8 ft ceilings for framing. Just a total pain in the rear that unusable 2 ft at the top you cant hardly get too unless you build shallow shelves on the rods.
You need to put in drywall ceiling backing in before you frame your walls. It is much harder to install it after you build the walls. Just trying to help.
Do you leave the bottom plate on where your openings are just to give you more support/stability since it’s just you lifting the walls? Just curious since it seems like double work to go back and cut out your openings. Great work by the way, it has been very cool to watch your videos.
bro that i whant to know you have a concern to how to use and safety work not only to show dowing you have a conern to your people to safe thank you bro GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
It's shaping up nicely. Well done. In the next couple years hopefully I'll be doing something similar, though swap the square footage between the house and shop. Less Barndominium and more Garagemahal. :)
I had to make a comment about your nail gun comment. I'M THAT GUY! LOL! I was framing a house when I was young and got lazy and had my hand right on the end of the stud. 16 penny went right through the top plate, through my index finger and into the stud. Then I was nailed to a wall on the floor. There's no pulling the nail out. Grit your teeth, take a deep breath and stand up really fast. LOL! Makes me cringe now just typing it out. Flapped the end of my finger back over the tip of bone and duct taped it and finished the day. Oh boy.....used to be tough. Old and careful now! #Wisdom
Damn I'm jealous to see how straight your 2x4's seem to be. I spend hours hand-picking them in store and later still struggling with bend and twisted boards. What's the trick?
You probably said this somewhere, but why plywood subfloor and not OSB? I understand why tongue and groove and 3/4, but is the extra cost worth it? Thanks for your videos! (PS - your wife must be wildly patient while you build this!)
I've never built a house...i'm not an expert in any sense...but i'd throw in some 2x4's sideways under those windows...just a matter of time before a someone, a kid perhaps or an adult, in order to reach something or who knows what...just my opinion, i don't know how sturdy those are in reality. I'm likely wrong
I am always confused about 16 inch on centre. Can you take the time to show where you place the tape to start the initial measurement. Our building code is 450mm and 1600mm but I still don't understand how it starts. I am not a builder just love to learn.
Yes, higher ceilings are wonderful, but that would have added a lot to the overall project. Since it's mainly bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs we felt it was ok for them to be 8.
Love the videos and how informative they are. I am curious how the noise level was during the storm inside your home. I am considering a barn home myself but I know a slight rain sounds like a downpour. What measures can you or are you taking to lesson the noise?
Well trust me it's nice having lots of bathrooms (I have 4 of them puppies) with one each on two levels and two baths on the bedroom level. Talk about becoming a toilet cleaning queen UGH it gets old for sure...oh and of course hubby just can't figure out how to clean them cuz his mama spoiled him God love her LOLOL. Your shop is gorgeous and I love the design of your home. Beautiful job and thank you so much for your video's and fantastic explanations.
Hey Paul, noticed you don't do an inch back cut at the door openings in the floor side of the bottom plate, the frame stays spaced and together but speeds up the cut out later with no floor damage from your hand saw. Surprised me cos yr so sped up with all the other tricks.
I should start doing it but I just zip the bottom plate off with a sawzall with no problems so I just keep doing it the way I’ve always done it out of habit I guess.
Have you guys considered getting a permaculture food forest going on your property? I think your family would take to it really well. Check out videos by Geoff Lawton if you're interested in learning more.
16;02 Being in a hurry gets you in hospital, I have had eighteen stitches in my hands so I know. Thirteen of the stitches were from bench saws and hand saws, the other five were from being in a hurry to go home.
Good afternoon terriffic job my question is why would you not complete the ceiling first to avoid cutting up all your ceiling material to double up your productivity and completely vapor barrier the ceiling first to be double efficiency and then stand your walls it is a stage for tripling up your productivity and vapor barrierand a thousand times more efficiently ceiling?? Its just me asking a question snd my thoughts are just my opinion 🤔 love watching your build have a fabulous day
You don't owe us anything. I just appreciate your family letting us watch this wonderful build. Family first. The viewers don't understand, well too bad. 😊👍.

Excellent description of framing and why. Thanks for the series!
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching!
Appreciate your craftsmanship, and your emphasis on safety. Great build.

Thanks for taking time away from construction to make these excellent videos.
Slow and steady wins the race.
True!

Since this is high above the ground floor, could you have put drywall on the back of this wall before you set it up?

Also why not use 24" centers instead of 16"? Other than those questions, glad to watch you build. Hopefully I will start to build my family's pole barn.

I always say to make the hallway wider so it is easier to move furniture in or out of the rooms.
Sure thing!
Is there going to be a video on the construction of the garden and have you planted anything for this year?
Will you use something like "lewis plate" to put on the floor and make floor radiant heating, poured in concrete?
Are you going to put a little garden in that fenced off area? or is that going to be a "Granny Flat"/bungalow?
There is a garden there right now! We plan to utilize our canning kitchen this year too!
bro that i whant to know you have a concern to how to use and safety work not only to show dowing you have a conern to your people to safe thank you bro GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

Sometimes it is good to give God a helping hand. No matter your intentions evaluate and act appropriately.
Damn I'm jealous to see how straight your 2x4's seem to be. I spend hours hand-picking them in store and later still struggling with bend and twisted boards. What's the trick?

You probably said this somewhere, but why plywood subfloor and not OSB? I understand why tongue and groove and 3/4, but is the extra cost worth it? Thanks for your videos! (PS - your wife must be wildly patient while you build this!)
It's my preference and always results in an extremely solid floor... no creaks!
@@MrPostFrame awesome, thank you! (No creaks is HUGE!)
I've never built a house...i'm not an expert in any sense...but i'd throw in some 2x4's sideways under those windows...just a matter of time before a someone, a kid perhaps or an adult, in order to reach something or who knows what...just my opinion, i don't know how sturdy those are in reality. I'm likely wrong
Speaking of hail. What size hail will that steel on the exterior and roof withstand?
Amazing.. you superman.. 👍
You do a great job, with the time-lapse stuff, I tell ya'! Lol.
Too bad we can't actually work that fast!
at 12:20 or so....any temptation to add bat insulation, 3.5 inch, to the walls just to give a little more temp barrier?
That's the plan!
I am always confused about 16 inch on centre. Can you take the time to show where you place the tape to start the initial measurement. Our building code is 450mm and 1600mm but I still don't understand how it starts. I am not a builder just love to learn.
Like your work. Only concern is the ceiling in second floor looks like only 8 feet. It would be better to have at least 9 feet.
Yes, higher ceilings are wonderful, but that would have added a lot to the overall project. Since it's mainly bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs we felt it was ok for them to be 8.
Why didn't you use the quick marks on the speed square?
Love the videos and how informative they are. I am curious how the noise level was during the storm inside your home. I am considering a barn home myself but I know a slight rain sounds like a downpour. What measures can you or are you taking to lesson the noise?
Once the ceiling and insulation is in the attic it will be very quiet.
Well trust me it's nice having lots of bathrooms (I have 4 of them puppies) with one each on two levels and two baths on the bedroom level. Talk about becoming a toilet cleaning queen UGH it gets old for sure...oh and of course hubby just can't figure out how to clean them cuz his mama spoiled him God love her LOLOL. Your shop is gorgeous and I love the design of your home. Beautiful job and thank you so much for your video's and fantastic explanations.
thanks for the video
You're welcome
Brilliant
非常喜欢您的视频，take it easy
It's very tough ,,by holding a camera you r doing a serious activity.🙏👍
Hey Paul, noticed you don't do an inch back cut at the door openings in the floor side of the bottom plate, the frame stays spaced and together but speeds up the cut out later with no floor damage from your hand saw. Surprised me cos yr so sped up with all the other tricks.
I should start doing it but I just zip the bottom plate off with a sawzall with no problems so I just keep doing it the way I’ve always done it out of habit I guess.
@@MrPostFrame Fair call mate, enjoying your build, we don't build like that around here it's quite interesting.
Have you guys considered getting a permaculture food forest going on your property? I think your family would take to it really well.

What your total cost on this
16;02 Being in a hurry gets you in hospital, I have had eighteen stitches in my hands so I know. Thirteen of the stitches were from bench saws and hand saws, the other five were from being in a hurry to go home.
Yep, it's hard but we all have to slow down especially on stuff we've done a million times.
Good afternoon terriffic job my question is why would you not complete the ceiling first to avoid cutting up all your ceiling material to double up your productivity and completely vapor barrier the ceiling first to be double efficiency and then stand your walls it is a stage for tripling up your productivity and vapor barrierand a thousand times more efficiently ceiling?? Its just me asking a question snd my thoughts are just my opinion 🤔 love watching your build have a fabulous day
