    Cole,
    The next time you're at a hardware store ask for some cutting oil.
    It will make it much easier to cut metal and your blades and drill bits will last longer.
    Water does cool down the metal but it is not a lubricant.

    Hey. Here in sweden we put a type of tar, like the ones you/we have on the roof on top of the concrete. It works as the waterbarrier so on top of that we can use regular Wood on the bottom too. Now it wont be a problem for you here but if it gets wet enough the bottom piece can draw enough Water so the one on top can get wet too

      I agree. I wasn't impressed with the use of adjustable jacking support poles. (No, I don't know the proper name for them nor did I ask the all-knowing, all-seeing internet to educate me.) Steel is incredibly strong but there is plenty of old I-beams available and that is not something to skimp on if money is no object and according to all-seeing all-knowing internet Cole is not just a 20-something farmer but also a 20-something millionaire. Maybe Cole hasn't really learned the whoops we didn't hire a consulting engineer for the bin site and look what happened lesson. It should be a simple matter to obtain the listed catalog strength of those adjustable jacking poles. The actual amount of weight on the I-beam? Yeh. That requires architectural knowledge and experience.

      Seriously, i mean I've watched the channel for years and Cole has started talking way too much. Don't get me wrong I don't mind a lot of talking if there's something to talk about but do we really need a 5 minute recap every video. The last few months I've been skipping the whole first part and still end up at the part about the movie theater footers. He really is good at filling time with useless talking but hey longer video means more add money right lmao

    After reading through the comments people are spewing out a lot of “ I would have” or “he should have done this or that” and seriously what business of anyone he includes a movie theater? He has to pour his garage floor so why not enjoy a movie room?
    Everyone just stop and think of your dreams you may have had a one time, did others say what a terrible dream? Let Cole alone and encourage him to build his dream. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

      Mostly I've seen constructive criticism. I think most people here want him to succeed and would hate for his house to be structurally deficient. I personally think he should let an engineer do some calcs especially to make sure the long beam won't deflect too much and that the posts are sufficient. Also pressure test the plumbing before pouring the floor!

      What does his garage floor that hasn't even begun construction have to do with it? The way they're screwing up, the dream may become a nightmare until he gets people in there who know what they're doing. Watching a UA-cam video doesn't make you an expert. I can't wait until Cole finishes the basement floors by himself. That's one job that you don't want to do yourself until you've helped out on dozens with people who know what they're doing.

      @@nuketheswamp7774 My impression from watching most of the home improvement videos is that they are working with an engineer to figure out what materials to use for the structural stuff. They aren't just winging it.
      You could use an LVL to span that 25 feet but then you'd need supports under the LVL. Since they apparently want an open space they went with the I-beam. Then the question is, what size I-beam do you need to span 25 feet, not bounce a ton, and support whatever load is coming from the second floor? I wouldn't want to guess at that and it seems like Cole is leaving those decisions to an engineer so I think we can all rest easy knowing his house is going to be just fine.

    May want to call it pressure treated lumber and not green treated. The color green doesn't treat anything, the chemicals that I'm not going to list are put in a hot pressurized kiln, and then when the pressure is slowly released, between that amd the heat, it's water resistant, not proof. I'm glad to see you put a moisture barrier in between, but when burying the wood, even though it's treated lumber, I ALWAYS coat it with that spray on rubberized coating or roofing tar, just to help it last decades longer than direct burying the lumber. After me whining about a couple of things, I just want to say that me and my kids love watching the channel. The harvest time and all that is almost equally enjoyable as the house remodeling, almost! Please find another really large project to do when you guys are done with your families beautiful home! Mabey you and Roman remodel or do an addition to his families home! Just spitballing here.
