    I came here just to fast forward to a point to check out the mountain view and then move on, but I actually watched the entire 2 hour long video from start to finish and I don't regret a minute of it. You guys are not only great at building houses, your in front of and behind-of camera skills are also amazing. Very entertaining to watch. I'm doing some building (sheds and barns) on my own property in my free time, but I'm not a craftsman...which I really regret. I love working wtih wood and also with concrete and the physical labor outside, especially when the weather is nice. In my next life, I'll be a craftsman and build some nice houses, with a nice crew. =)

It's not a flex to build something 10000x times stronger than it needs to be, it's just bad engineering. Good engineering is building what you need with enough padding to avoid trouble, and thus costing only what's necessary. It's a huge waste of money to build something that'll last a thousand years, or even a few hundred. No one wants to waste that kind of money.

    After helping design and build buildings and houses for 52 years, I am amazed you guys put raw wood supports surrounded by dirt. Even con crete is a bad idea. My suggestion is to pour a base such as a minimum 12" diameter concrete with a Simpson base plate adapter and bolt in the concrete. The Simpson base plate has an internal galvanized U-shaped plate that raises the bottom of the wood post up about 1/2 inch above the base, and helps prevent rotting. Based on your work I'm sure you know this.

    I’ve been framing for 10 years in a completely different area in the US and it’s absolutely mind blowing how everything I just watched was identical to a day of work for me. The process, the mistakes and struggles, the visitors, the jokes, the rain and indecisiveness (which varies from employee to boss), except for the brands, materials and some strategies used this mirrored a typical work day. I also want to give the boss(es) some props for things like the scaffolding, you’d boys would shit your pants seeing the way we sometimes do things haha

    This is so interesting! I live in Germany, in a wooden house as well. Not a traditional one, but a modern, timber frame construction one. However, the walls are easily three times as thick, and the floor joists are not 1x12 like in this house, but something along the lines of 4x12 (although the spacing isn't as tight), just to give one example.
    Seems like we like to overbuild over here, or you like saving money a little too much.

    This was an interesting insight into building a house. It’s different to how they are built here in the UK as we tend to build the outer walls out of breeze blocks and a layer of bricks. The inner walls are built differently, with metal instead of wood. Then it is plaster board to finish the walls. I remember joining my dad of the work site when I was younger and really enjoyed watching this house being built.
