OK, I’m 80 years old female and I know I am never going to build a house now. that said what a fascinating tutorial on your part, I do hope that this company compensate you for a fantastic tutorial.
it could never be better explained by anyone else ever.!
@@swackwrxgti181 what a goofy reply to an 80 year old woman.
I am a 70 yo woman and I feel the same way, glad he has the railing, and really good tutorials,, and to the person that commented about us not building houses at our age,, just wait with good health and well traveled and many homes built you’ll understand!! We have done it!!!
Kathleen...sorry for the foolish comments. They don't represent all of us on here. Glad you enjoyed his video. This is what youtube is supposed to be. An escape...an opportunity to learn...an opportunity for folks to share their experiences.
Do you have roof drains? A way for the water to drain off of your roof? Just curious.
As a 60 year old, I agree, he should be given a bit of compensation and a installation certification. Since I am now not daunted by the task I may add this to my back porch rebuild!
You sir get an A++ for this tutorial. The company should include this video with every purchase.
Well done! ❤
I don't even change my own oil so I'm pretty sure I'll never build my own house but I'm mesmerized whenever I get to watch you build something. Thank you for all the trouble you go to when you take us along for the ride. ❤
You’re a really good teacher. Clear, concise instructions and actually showing what you’re doing.
He is a driving instructor, so demonstrating how to do something in these videos probably comes naturally.
Timmy , great idea. this sure is a relief for hundreds of thousands of us knowing you will not fall of the edge . We are planning to hang around following your adventures for many more years . Stay brave and adventurous man ! Love from france ❤
Ditto! Watching and enjoying from the small town of Paradise, in the big state of Texas.
@Bob Are you Belgian?
You said that much more diplomatically than I would have.
@@neva.2764 no , Dutch !
Timmy, brother, cable rail looks AWESOME. So glad to hear that you're continuing that look on the inside. Btw, been a subscriber for a while, just gotta say that you/your channel are indeed NUMBER 1! No whining, great mix of content, great videography, and you are by far the most down-to-earth individual with THE BEST attitude bro!!!!
Oh wait… it’s showing in 13 hours?!🙄… the boss better not interrupt me tomorrow on my break watching you. The rationale for using such guardrails, sir? I’m sure we’ll learn bright ideas from you as usual…. Everyone be ready with your pen and paper…. Class will start soon😁… can’t wait!
I don’t know about Tim’s rationale for this type of railing, but when I rebuilt my deck, wife and I decided to go with thin stainless wire and aluminum posts which block little of not no part of your view. Since we live on a lake using this type instead of wood 4x4 posts and railings.
Because he wants the attention to be on the skyline not the fence line.
True… I think the wind factor too… i guess….
The house is looking GREAT! Siding came out great ... so stoked to see the inside develop. What you are doing is amazing ...
Your Little Truck Cabin and Your Big House are quite an accomplishment! I am sooooo Impressed!
About to go to bed… to get my 8 hour of sleep and be ready for my nursing job tomorrow but nah! Mr. Timmy is in the house! So… I think it won’t hurt if I stay I little bit late tonight watching him and all his shenanigans! What do have instored for us, Sir? 😁
Yesssss, this has been stressing me out for a while! Lol 😂 I'm terrified of heights!
I didn’t worry one bit ever about the railing. But when you slipped while putting the hand rail on I then laughed and said. “Yeah I guess a rail is needed on the roof 😂
As a bird lover, I’m really glad you didn’t do a glass safety railing. 👍👍
Man T, you just raised your game a whole 'nuther level, building this place. So impressed!
Just a thought. Consider adding flat L- brackets to the inside of the posts to mount vertically on the post and horizontally to the roof for additional strength and safety. Just a thought.
I can't put any screws through that parapet wall (the wall w/ the red cap) or it might make the roof leak).
Makes sense. Outstanding work.
I’ve really been loving the house building content lately as well as the frequent uploads, Tim. Cannot wait to see the house once it’s completed but not as much as I’m sure you are lol.
My husband just started watching your channel today and loves that you are so young and doing things you have never done before. He is 71 and built cabinets for 30 years and now still works full time building spectator seating. Great job.
awesome haha!
How deeply satisfying to stand at that rail and gaze at the wonderment at your doorstep, knowing that you have built your dream house! Thank you for bringing us along for the ride, BTW as tight as a bass guitar string, what a geeky musician reference. 🎸
I have just stumbled upon your channel, but I won't be stumbling off of your amazing rooftop deck! What you have done is fabulous. It is sufficient to keep everyone safe, yet not block the amazing views you have from up there.
Hey I started watching Timmy’s channel because I have also have a 7.3 1T Ford truck that I bought new in 2001. Boy I’m hooked on everything this young man does. He’s freaking amazing.
I like that the railing does not pull your eyes away from the view.
Will Twinlie be getting a new friend to hang out with? 🐦❤
Cabin coming out nicely 😮💨👌🏽
Nice job Tim, thats a nice looking handrail and you didn't
drop any tools 2 stories down to the ground!!! 👍👍👍🤣🤣🤣🤣
That system is great: a lot of work but it shows how much work they put into making it.
Sweet! To steal a line from The Big Lebowski, “The Cable Bullet Railing really ties the deck together man”.
I'm so happy you've almost buttoned-up the entire exterior. All this detail work takes time and easily overlooked but you're nearly there. Now you can be warm and dry inside to bring it all together.
Your attention to detail and integrity really shows up in your documentation. What a great feeling to take your idea, shift into CAD mode and work alone. And let us know the process. Mesmerizing I like that word. Thx
And the second most comment is when you started that diesel engine at -50F without a preheat.
Beautiful work. Just perfect for your space. Does not detract from your views at all. I think what took you the most time was explaining it to your audience. If you had sunlight more hours in a day up there, you would have had this done in one, or one and a half days. I've only just started following you. Been watching the older vids as I can to catch up. Fascinating life you live! I'm in awe of all the things you can do. Building a truck cabin, an actual living cabin, canoeing, snow boarding, playing in a band, testing drivers for their license.... the list is endless. You're intelligent, even tempered, fun, adventurous, mechanical, musical... on and on. Entertaining as hell to watch. Keep up the beautiful scenery and adventures
I'm hooked.
Lookin fabulous. I was a bit scared of someone falling off the roof so I like the fencing. Looks nice, you can see through it. Yes, went and looked at it again. Sturdy and looks good. You do great work.
Looks like a great railing system, expertly installed. Thanks for the step by step installation, you made it look easy 😂
Thanks!
I don't speak English, but I really enjoy watching your videos!! Hello from Brazil 🇧🇷🙂
You’ve gotten so much done. I hope you have a nice break with your family.
When you're good you're good. You are top tier for sure. Your videos are a real treat. Thank you very much ✌️
Perfect choice for the railing! I had misgivings at first because of the height and how safe it would actually be, but I'd certainly feel safe up there with it. I am so glad you had to do the work and not me, because most of the set screws, and other tools would be on the ground, far below, and it would take me weeks just to get one side done, I am sure. I have always been all-thumbs, and I admire your patience and steady hand. It was very relaxing to watch. I used to watch my dad all the time. He was the same. Very patient, and his work was always beautiful to behold. He even learned macrame at one point. lol So, now I'm dating myself. lol Thanks for a great video.
Of course! thank u
This is so satisfying to watch someone else do something I did, but on a much bigger and better scale. It took me three years to do mine, and that was with hiring out some jobs like trimming doors and windows, bathroom tiling, plumbing, and I hired a builder and he and I literally built it together. Of course I hired for basement, foundation and flatware cement and septic. I'm a girl, and not like I couldn't do most things, after doing the roofing myself, I decided life was too short to beat myself up and be dead of old age before I finished!😂
The exterior of the house is majestic with that view from the roof well done. Cant wait to see the interior work to be done and the exterior stair railing. You sir are a great architect!!
Thanks!
Ok, I'm a 75 year old female! I will never build a house. Thought I would watch some of this tutorial and move on. Found it so interesting and (dare I say) soothing, I watched the whole video! Btw, the view is spectacular!
Awesome haha!
Love the staircase tower. It reminds me of a lighthouse.
Hey Tim, New to your channel and you are amazing. Not only that,
watching you install the roof fencing and explaining how it’s done….You definitely have the patience of an angel😆
Hokie doodlehoppers!!
I am SO HAPPY you're finally putting that rail up LOL
I was freaking out every time you were up there and too close for my liking, to the edge!!!
Grear video, Tim ❤
Timmy the railing looks amazing! You did a great job!
Vertical is plumb, horizontal is level.
The rooftop is now safe. Are you not entertained?!? Cheers Timmy
you could have put down a tarp or moving blanket to put under your cutting station to catch all your drilling and sawing chips that were created in your fabrication process.
This is my favorite channel of all time 🙌🏻 I’m a structural welder with the iron workers- I was hoping there were parts of that gate that needed to be welded haha but it seems it’s all pre-fabricated and just needs to be screwed in! The whole thing looks awesome
Nice haha!
The handrail is amazing and it looks professionally installed! If I ever decide to get one, I'm gonna bookmark this little tutorial for future reference. 👏
You do an awesome job of explaining all the construction techniques you’re using, and you are building a beautiful home! Love watching your videos and watching your place come together. Deck and handrails are amazing! Thanks for sharing with us! 👍
Off the charts. The cable railing we have done have a spring loaded turnbuckle on them. That is so much cleaner looking but it will be curious how they stay tight when it gets warmer. Great show again dude!
Awesome work dude!! I absolutely love the cable rail system. I looked into systems similar to yours for my deck at the lake. I couldn't stomach the prices. I made all my own connections & ran my cable through 4 x 4 wood posts. It was ALOT of work building everything myself but so worth it. I love my cable rail & lots of people stop by to see how I built it.
Nice man! Yup I almost did 4x4 posts too.
This is sexier than mine lol
This is why I like this channel - it’s not only a cool travel / adventure channel but also practical tips and techniques around construction / maintenance and DIY stuff that is super helpful in giving me ideas.
great choice! ben binge watching your utubes. great stuff from a US ret architect living now in Romania!
Never going to build a house but find this weirdly relaxing to listen to as I work from home. As with all your videos. Ha! Also, you most likely have the nicest house on the street!
That is one sick system! It’s a nice clean look. The railing colour really brings out your siding.
Wow you are a great builder. Just can’t believe how you have put together that railing.
Def one of my favorite videos ever. Cable bullet endorse this man!
Thanks:)
I am 100% impressed that vendor provided detailed instructions of a CAD designs. Most companies would ship and wish the buyer good luck.
What a Gorgeous view of those mountains Timmy! I hope Erin is there with you when you slipped and lost your footing at the beginning of the video by the door my heart jumped out of my chest. Thanks for sharing!!
Ya definitely picked a big snow year to build in Girdwood. After 35 winters and retiring from where those train horns are coming from, I decided playing golf year around in shorts was a bigger priority...so fled south. lol Love your videos though, as Alaska will always be home and I feel closer to my 3 children and grandsons...who still live in Anchorage. Soooo...thanks! ✌
Kathleen saubrei said it perfectly.
What an awesomely well done tutorial. I was thinking how it reveals your intelligence and clarity of thought to speech. Excellent job!
Heyy Timmy the railing looks great the outside of the house is beautiful, can't wait to see what you have in store for the inside,stay safe
That view is spectacular!
You simply cannot put a price on those views! The drone taking in the entire outside is amazing! I wouldn’t change anything! And you’re not even done! I did gasp out loud a lil on the scootch up top near your door. 😳 Great material choices! Stay blessed!
You sure you never did this before, it’s so good
Timmy, thank you for teaching all of us how to build a house and put in the cable wire railing. I really enjoy watching all of you videos.
Timmy it’s so nice. You are doing such a good job. You should be very proud. Great job. And man your cranking out the videos I love it. Thank you.
Cable Bullet should be paying you for this amazing tutorial!!
You make it look so easy. If I built that house it would look like it belonged in Dr, Seuz' Hooville!
Timmy, What an excellent teacher you are. So patient and detailed. I starting watching for the truck adventures, but the house and all you are doing is so awesome to watch. I hate when your videos end. Good Job!
You are a lucky man to have such a beautiful home to live the lifestyle you have been living I personally enjoy your videos and I wish you the very best and everything you do thank you Timmy.
Your house is really coming together nicely! We have to replace a bunch of deck and stair railing this spring. This video came at a perfect time. Thank you!
Great tutorial on the cable rail. It looks beautiful and doesn’t distract from the scenery. Thanks for taking the time to share this with your peps.😎
Bob Vila would be proud
Man, when you put that first top rail on and your foot slipped....so did my heart rate😮 still getting my Vertigo with rails on ! But glad you will be safe when snow blowing, sunbathing or dancing on flat roof.
That deck is nice it would be even nicer if it was heated.
Love your lifestyle!
Nice addition, when we drove by a few days ago, I noticed there was a railing up.
Awesome tutorial Timmy... Cable bullet needs to hook you up... Period
Oh honey I’m 62 and totally agree on all aspects. I’m amazed with his knowledge and abilities.
Wow! Timmy you have a little bit of paradise on earth, nice job with railing a new learning experience and it looks fantastic. Your scenery is breath taking, you could stay home forever and just take it all in, but we know you Timmy; you cannot stay in one place too long. That is good for us and you, we get to take in God's beauty as we journey with you. You are a excellent guide and teacher, it shows how much you love what you do.
thanks:)
Such a cool system. Perfect to not restrict the view and fits the look of the house perfect.
Well, yea, I was one of those. Every time you were on the roof going. He's gotta be gonna put some railings up. Going to look awesome.
this is actually a really cool system and looks very strong as well. good on you Cable Bullet!
❤Health N Safety❤ 🎉🎉🎉Thank you Timmy that was very educational. Loved every step to your Tower cabin. .Have a good evening 😅❤ cheers
What you do is mind blowing. Just everything beginning to end from scratch. I need to go to a trade school for this.
Great building your house, glad that you finally getting a barrier up on the roof top. Was afraid you fall off. Love watching your channel. I'm a old dude from Nebraska.
Such a great choice the view is as wide open as you can have it. This house is beautiful. Can't wait to see what you do with the rest of it.
Eeks! The heights make my stomach turn just watching! Great job!
I like the horizontal corrugated steel on the house next door.
Awesome job explaining the system, Timmy. Thank you. And what an amazing system, too. Well done, Cable Bullet!!!
That is a great rail system. Enjoyed watching you install. Excellent video!
You have impressed us all at every turn man! I’ve loved watching you progress and not be afraid to tackle anything! So incredible! I’ve been watching since you put the truck house in even before the flatbed. Absolutely love your channel. It’s my favorite on UA-cam!
Enjoyed again, Timmy, railings awesome, now The Shoot Dangs, party goers want fall off, looking at Northern Lights😊
Looks great and that Cable Bullet system is awesome! These videos on the building of the cabin are really fun to watch. Keep up the great work and that place will be something to be very proud of when you are done. Cheers!
Absolutely love this style of railing; Timmy you really know how to explain, in layman's terms, very well. Thank you for sharing this :)
Thanks!
I found your channel recently and am hooked now. LOL What a gorgeous house, both little truck house and your big house. Can't wait to watch your journey, Tim. Kudos to you and the design of this beautiful home. Impressed beyond words. Stay warm, stay safe and stay on your path of ingenuity and self taught marvels.
Love the new railing. And the best part is that doesn't obstruct the view.
You doing all this by yourself is crazy and I give it to ya you work so good and don't give up great job and love the vlogs can't wait to the inside starts
Great job Timmy. That’s going to be an amazing deck. Congrats
Amazing quality cable safety fencing, he builds them tall and massive 😅,real quality items, he has learned well working with his dad all these year's for sure 👍 🤠🤟🙏
Thanks 👍
This is my second video of yours that I’ve watched and I’m hooked already!! I’m just a little older lady from Texas and I’m really impressed with your skill and talent!! Keep up the good work ❤
Timmy! You are amazing, you can do everything! Thank you so much for including all of us in your life adventures! Your place is beautiful! I’m so happy for you! Can’t wait for your next video!❣️
