I can’t wait to see Roman build a 5 story chicken coop! Mini series?
I hope he lets us watch build the Chicken Casa🐔🐥🐣
😂 basement to bonus room attic.
Does Cole get free eggs for life when he gets the wood lol
Chicken balcony and chicken penthouse 🤣🤣🤣
He should makes his own channel, get some nice revenue. I would watch that!
King stud = plate to plate
Jack stud = bottom plate to header
Cripple = bottom plate to sill or header to top plate
Finally. Someone said it.
@IamDog0 it was getting a little old by the end. 😂
Also a header goes above a window or doorway. A beam is what they are holding up with the jack studs.
Did I miss something or is he talking about some load bearing beams parallel to joists? At another point he correctly points out a partition wall. Guess I am just having trouble picturing it. And now he is in basement talking header size as if it should ever be sized to only carry 1 floor worth of load.
Exactly!
I want to draw attention to the fact that the first words out of Cole's mouth split seconds after the beam fell were "you okay?" It was not expletive, or a comment concerning the board, or trying to assign blame. It's those moments when a person doesn't have time to formulate their thoughts that you see what a person is really like and what they really care about. That is an admirable quality in any person.
Agree I thought the same when I heard that.
I hope Nave and you will continue this series when you decorate the house.
I love what you are doing.
Cole from a Canadian Carpenter. Having an electrical plug near or on your stair path is awesome for who ever needs power for vacuuming
Who uses a corded vacuum anymore?…..lol
I have central vac system in all my homes with ports in the stair way.
🙋🏻♀️ The stick vacs really aren’t that great at suction. I always run out of power cord right before the top step.
Also, to a lesser degree……easier to plug in Christmas lights if you put them down the bannister.😊
i think he's going with hardwood/vinyl flooring, so he probably wont even need a vacuum.
Roman is correct. A jack stud is what is under a header/beam. A cripple stud is what fills in under or over a window, or over a doorway (between the header and the top plate, to provide a nailer).
I've always known them as jack studs as they perform the job of holding (or jacking up) the header. A quick google: "The king studs are the same length and size of regular studs in a wall; the only difference is that they are positioned at the ends of a header so they don’t necessarily land at regular on-center stud locations. Jacks, sometimes called trimmers, are studs cut to length to fit under each end of a header and down to the bottom plate." Learned something new today
And a king stretches from sole to top plate
Instead of 'cripple' we always figured if you had 'kings' that were the biggest, 'jacks' doing the work, then the ridiculous little ones should be 'jokers' or 'fools', depending on if you prefer card- or court-based nomenclature.
Cole, Don't go all west coast on us now. In the Midwest I've always heard them called jack studs, not trimmers. The only time I heard them called trimmers was on the cable tv shows building out in California.
Trimmers??? Kings, Jacks and cripples. In that order.
Roman is correct!!!!
Just an idea, make a separate door into the bathroom facing the stairs, you don't want people wandering through your pantry where you toss brooms, bags and vacuums etc.
the pantry is for food storage brooms go in your broom closet. but yes i would never make a bathroom in one, 100% shouldn't be where the door is.
I think in an earlier video the door of the toilet is not though the pantry, rather on the opposite side of stairs, i think
Many people cook from scratch and have bulk dry store food stuffs ive neve usded just the kitchen cupboards..id go crazy with out proper storage.@@AffectionateDriftwood-vr2sf
@@johanneseder27I hope so...its so unsanitary to have bathroom and pantry in one.
Yah I thought no way he’d put the door in the closet, maybe a door in both sides so they can come from the stairway as well as from the living room
A full hour video?!? You just made my day!
Also, you should make a full bath on the first floor and hopefully a mudroom, too! With your weather, you get snow, rain, and mud it would be easier to bathe the kids on the first floor so they don't track mud all through the house ❤❤
I’m sorry, I’m confused! You have to go through the pantry to get to the downstairs bathroom? Aren’t pantries usually messy? I personally wouldn’t want a guest to have to go through my pantry to get to the bathroom. Lovely job, as usual! TYTY for sharing! ❤️❤️🙏❤️❤️
Same thing I’m confused about.
Cole has explained in previous videos that you will enter the bathroom from the hallway by the stairs. Hope that helps!😊
I was hoping I 😊 that wrong. You have to go through the pantry to get to the only bathroom on the first floor???
That's what I thought, too. I'm confusion. 😂
A pantry might be messy in some houses but remeber that Nave and Cole love cleaning. They are extremely meticulous.
Make sure to have a shower and bathtub in the first floor bathroom. Problems in life may make it difficult for someone to get upstairs during a time of healing. Also sometimes it’s easier to bath the little ones on the first floor!
This is also my suggestion Cole. Please place the door in the hallway closer to the entry point for the ramp access door is going to go. Will make best ease of use for flow and all mobility types.
There will be a first floor full bath in the addition they will be building.
So true!! Our little guy loves to get muddy and sandy when playing outside; straight to the bathtub he goes and thankfully it’s 8 feet from the front door
Idea: Use a pocket door for the half bath next to the pantry.
You mentioned before making a handicapped accessible door coming in the house. Prob should make the downstairs bathroom handicapped accessible as well
Excellent! Two wide doorways in the living room will make a perfect speedway for the kids.
Haha, a voice of experience 😅.
Been there too.
Irst thing i thought. We has that 55 yrs ago when i was little, strong memories!
I can see it now. Around and around and around we go. Add a couple of dogs for extra fun!
A baby bouncing from each doorway!!
😆😆😆
I was kind of hoping you'd put the old China hutch into the wall of the pantry facing the dining room. It would be a neat way to bring some of the old charm back into the new construction.
I'm hoping the same. It was heartbreaking to see all that history torn out, but hopefully he kept a lot in the garage because he will be adding it back. A lot of cheering will be happening if that happens! Knowing that they want measurements to fit the old doors has got me hopeful.....
Cole that little “ya okay” after the footer fell speaks loudly of who u are inside!! Main reason I follow u! Please don’t let yt commenters or anyone else change u!! Nave seems to be the same way! I have no clue how it’s possible that 2 good hearted ppl can find each other in this big ole world but if anyone is meant to be together it’s u! I love watching u 2 build ur dream life! Makes my heart smile! Ur sweet babies are just so precious! Congratulations to u both!!
P.s… I can not afford to purchase your merch, I’m sorry but I did want to comment about the way u advertise it at the end of each video! Very creative and catchy to make it look like a slot machine! That’s is all… rock on n have a blessed day!
I noticed that comment as well. Agree testiment to Coles good character
@@slapstickdome9797 yes mama n daddy cornstar raised him right
I love watching your restoration videos. My suggestions, I would change the floor plan to include adding a washroom/shower room (with an outside entry), so you can remove your shoes, clothes and wash up when you come in from working to protect the family from the chemicals (and dirt) from farming. I would move the 1st floor bathroom away from the kitchen/pantry. Keep on renovating, we’re waiting on your next video.
Cole also has a bath planed for the basement which the back stairs has an exterior entrance to get there.
Think they should put another bathroom in the basement to replace the shower/toilet down there
You won’t be sorry you put a mud room with an entrance door to the house.
There's also a bathroom in the tiny house they made for the bin storage. That could also be a place to clean up after work.
Cole, " change order" please refrain from using your pantry as a bathroom. Make the bathroom door that exits out another way not into pantry. I love your content.
This is also my suggestion Cole. Please place the door in the hallway closer to the entry point for the ramp access door is going to go. Will make best ease of use for flow and all mobility types.
I was thinking same thing.
Bad smells in pantry
“This meal tastes like crap!” lol
Yes!! Food storage etc. and beyond it a “ powder room” ? Kinda bad aesthetic for most! Please revisit and revise…. imho
Im thrilled you are using the original doors... please put that beautiful china cabinet back too
Put the china cabinet in the pantry instead of the bathroom in there. Put the bathroom at the head of the stairs.
The kitchen will be so big, with so many cabinets, that you won't need such a large pantry. Maybe you can reduce the size of the pantry a bit to make room for a tub/shower in the bathroom for when you come in dirty from work and don't want to walk through the house dirty to get to the shower upstairs. Just a thought. =)
I saw on another comment that there will be a full bath in the basement which has an entrance directly down from outside, so if one was really yucky from farming etc u could go straight down to a shower. Pantries can never be big enough - especially with a big family which I believe they plan on having a larger family :)
Nice that you are helping Roman with repairs on his truck! Can’t come to work without it, and you have all the tools and equipment at the farm so that is a great help. Even though you all tease each other, it’s obvious you are there for each other😉
I always watch all the way through. Can’t see how someone can stop watching half way through. I love to see your videos you guys do great work
I watch twice to be sure I didn't miss anything 😂 I don't have a life 😂
Sometimes I cut it short when they
talk to much
I watched all the way through, too. Hit the thumbs up button, and try to watch at least over 30 seconds of a 1-minute advertisement, besides watching all 15-second ads that I could have skipped.
.
I break it up and watch in sections
some times i come back to watch the rest if i have to leave. did it once while working, started on break and finished at home after.
Man can I relate to all the issues they are finding. I spent 6 months working with my uncle on a remodel project of an 1800's house. Nothing in that place was level, flat, square, plumb and we had a lot of work to do. :)
I had the same issue in an 1883 house reno, I told my BF to throw away the level.
Roman, when you cut that miter on the edge of the 2x4 jack stud at +49:10, you positioned the fence on the wrong side of the blade (with the blade titled towards the left, and the fence on the left side of the blade, to cut off the top right corner of the stud). Setting up the fence that way is actually dangerous. You had the stud trapped underneath the blade. When the stud tries to lift upward (because you didn't have anyone helping you support the far end of the stud) it will cut too deeply into the stud, and the stud can easily kick back towards you (and/or jam the saw blade). Even with proper in-feed and out-feed support that's a very dangerous way to position the fence.
When using a left-tilting table saw for miter cuts like that, you should always position the fence on the right side of the blade, and cut off the bottom left corner of the stud (and stand to the right of the blade so when the cutoff kicks back at the end of the cut it doesn't hit you). That way the stud doesn't get trapped between the blade and the fence, and if the stud lifts away from the blade it just makes your miter a bit too shallow rather than ruining the cut or ruining you.
Also, it's sometimes easier to manage miter cutting a 2x4 stud if you stand the stud on its edge (with the 4-inch face against the fence) and the blade set for a 3/4-inch wide miter cut rather than putting the stud face down (with the 2-inch edge against the fence) and trying to make a 2.75-inch wide miter cut. But that's a personal choice.
Thank you for adding this detailed safety comment!! I hope they see it.
Also, use a push stick, or two. A board can kick or jolt on the most experienced woodworkers even when the cut is set up correctly and you don't want to have your fingers that close to the saw blade when it does.
I felt my stomach drop as I saw him sliding his fingers past that blade to keep the 2x4 positioned in the cut. A kick back of the wood could have easily pulled his fingers into the path of the blade. Very important to have the back end of the 2x4 supported and to use a push tool instead of your fingers. I'm glad that Roman still has his fingers.
Roman - been there, done that when the fuel pump went out of my 2001 Ford E450 RV which was full of 55 gallons of gas! Cole, it hurt my heart when you started tearing out the original woodwork and fixtures of the home but now that I see you are doing everything the right way I am so happy and excited to see the house once completed. You, Nave and the kids are going to have an absolutely beautiful home that will easily last another 100 years. Kudos to you, Juston and Roman for all of the hard work and doing it right!
Thank you ❤
Add a stand up small shower in the downstairs bathroom. You never know if you will need that later on and your doing the work now so why not. We didn't do that, 10 years later, it's a regret we wish we would have done. Great job !!!! Enjoy your vid!
Your a farmer you will get dirty best to have a easy clean up before tracking in the home 😊
I agree, if anyone in the family breaks a leg or ankle or has surgery the prevents you from going up and down stairs you will wish you had a shower on the main floor. Ask me how I know.
How can you not watch it all the way! It is fantastic!thank you for sharing!
I think he is referring to people who skip or scrub through the videos.
Because they talk to much.
@@alextorres5665but I like all of the explaining / learning .
Because it's boring as bat shit. Some vids are OK, this one is too much justification and not enough doing.
Cole it's coming together slowly but surely. You & crew work well together and that makes a big difference in how much work is actually getting done and getting done right. No worries though, you guys are doing great and definitely looking forward to future progress. Take care and God Bless
Roman is awesome. i hope we all get to meet his lovely family soon.
My wife and I get excited when a new video of you guys come out, our fav UA-camr. We’ve been watching since you started the outside Reno’s, the property cleanup, workshop renovation and cleanup, and total demo of the interior. Now it’s watching your vision come to life of the rebuild. You 3 are a delight. This coming from London, Ontario up in Canada. Cheers
Cheers from Malakwa BC!
Hello from Nipawin, Saskatchewan, Canada
PORTAGE Manitoba 😊
One of my best friends lives in London, Ontario. We went to school in Chatham. 😊
@@skeeter1 well hello I used to live in Lanigan Saskatchewan and my dad worked in the potash mines back in the late 60s
Put plenty of electrical outlets everywhere. Overdue it so that you don’t have to think about extension cords, etc.
Code requires them every 12’ of wall space
Transformation/Restoration/Remodel of this $7,000.00 mansion is nothing short of remarkable. Well done & carry on with your excellent work.
Oh man, I get so much joy from watching this crew work the "Three Amigos" are quite the team. Roman is an absolute treasure!
Can we get a blueprint drawing for reference please, the video walkthroughs are just confusing 👍🏻😉😁
I must confess that not only do i watch all the way through i rewatch each one all the way through again 😂 love from an Okie Gma.
I know a few people who have cut the bed opened to access the fuel pump and then made a removeable cover.
When you take the bed off, pressure wash the bottom of the bed and the frame and also wire brush the frame. Then use bed liner spray, or other quality, spray on material, and do the bottom of the bed and the frame. Will look nice when it's done, and will last for years.
When I first started watching Cole The Cornstar, it was for the mansion clean up, I never imagined I would be watching the remodel/ renovation of this grand old house,so quickly. I'm absolutly loving these videos and admire this twenty something year old guy doing this with the help of Justin and Roman.
Just a suggestion for Justin! When you put kitchen cabinets in put a 2x8 in between studs so it makes it much easier to hang them up solid! Toilet paper holder and curtain rods. That way there you have a solid wall behind sheet rock and that eliminates holes in sheet rock down the road!
It’s called blocking
and for where any tv or other heavy item will be mounted.
People who did my renovation put OSB on frame behind drywall in kitchen so that mounting screws for cabinets were assured to hit something solid no matter where placed. Only drawbacks i know of would be that room would be one inch narrower each way and electrician would have to mount switch and receptacle boxes out a full inch from frame instead of a half inch.
Cole, those springy support walls should have either
A. bridging/blocking between each stud (2x8x14.5 blocks turned sideways and installed halfway up from the floor), or
B. diagonal braces, or
If you're going to install wall-mounted cabinets in the pantry then bridging blocks at multiple heights (base cabinet height, and upper cabinet height) would solve two problems at once. They will stiffen the springy support wall, and provide strong mounting surface for all the cabinetry.
The 1/2" plywood should solve that issue.
@@TOXIXIFY Would 5/8 drywall do the same?
I literally was just looking to see if anybody commented about the blocking on the studs
Those are temporary walls. None of the final walls have that issue.
@@nglessner At least two of the walls are permanent load bearing walls. They're built directly over the support beams in the basement. All of the pantry walls are now permanent walls. And, it looked to me, by the end of the video, that most of the temporary walls have already been removed.
The helper on the wall to prevent bow was genius. Have been in the industry for 22 years and haven’t seen that yet. Good move!
I recommend you put fire stops in your walls. They would not only add fire safety but make the walls more rigid.
Keep up the good work fellows.
Are you putting a pocket door on the pantry bathroom? We love ours. Such a space saver. We centered our toilet in the middle of the back wall for more side room for elders and our handicapped friend. People comment on the room it gives when being used verses the toilet being shoved over by one side wall.
This is a very underrated comment! I hope he sees this, it's a brilliant idea! ❤️
The Jacks are what goes on the side of the opening, The Cripples are what holds the header up. I've been a Carpenter for 40 years
And don't forget the trimmers. 😄
King stud runs from plate to plate at openings and Jack stud supports the header
@@davidanderson1074 I've found that the nomenclature changes depending on where you are from and/or who you apprenticed with. One way or the other, we'll get 'er framed. 👍
In New Zealand old English we call its a Jack Stud to support the header also known as (lintel). King Stud it beside the Jack Stud from bottom plate to top plate. Cripple is between header and top plate or sill to bottom plate. We also have double top plate. Some refer as Jack Studs or half Studs. Or Sill cripples top crippers or half studs.
Also unde our building code noggins and dwangs aka nogs I believe Americans refer to as blocks or fire blocks are installed at every 600mm between studs. But here we call them dwangs. Unlike some US codes routing hole for cables don't have to be fire corked. Some also refer to Jack's to be sitting on top of (window) sill plate etc.
Some new codes require 6inch 120mm outer wall with dwangs. Plus treated ply as bracing glued and screwed. For earthquakes etc, With double to triple glazing. And higher R-ratings for insulation.
Love your pantry concept. Crossing my fingers that you give your wife a room in your basement for canned foods and preservation. And for your wife....think about putting your utility room on the bedroom floor level. She won't be exhausted with stairs.
Major part of the panty should be upstairs. Bath needs a separate door with a shower. Additional food storage in the basement. We do have tornados in Iowa.
In Utah any wall over 8 feet must have fire blocking. That will eliminate the bowing problem! Plus that will use the cut offs laying in the chicken coop pile!
Two great co-workers. Love watching the changes to the house.
Love the 45° angle on the pantry. It adds character.
Glad y'all are ok when the header fell. At least it didn't fall butter side down. (Glue side down). Cole and Roman you have such wonderful comradery with each other. Enjoying the remodel restoration!
Reconsider the pantry door. Should open inward so it doesn’t block path around corner
Great job, guys! I'm thinking that old house has never been that straight and level!
This is getting exciting! Finally the rebuild begins and we can start to see the rooms. Can’t wait to see the boys running around!
Here's another tip for y'all: When installing the joist hangers on the LVLs, where drywall is going over them, cut about a 3/16" (the thickness of the hanger metal) 'relief cut' in the bottom of the LVL to create a pocket for the bottom of the joist hanger to fit into. That way the bottom of the hanger is flush with the bottom of the LVL and there won't be a bump in the drywall when it gets installed.
Cole open the door into the pantry not out into the room - you have a wonderful amount of space for the pantry - most of the time that pantry door will be open especially when food it being cooked and people are going in and out of it all the time
In your pantry I would highly recommend putting a deep countertop and then a bunch of electrical plugs so say for example you want your blender and all that your toaster. You can put that there and then you could have sliding doors or a roll up door that comes down onto that. So that your countertop does not look cluttered. Also I would stick a trash system in there. Maybe even in your countertop or you can make it that there's some type of cover for the trash so that the countertop is flush. I wish I could describe it as I see it. Just so that you don't have to pull the trash can out and slide stuff off onto the countertop into the trash. You can just slide it all into the hole. And inside your house I would think about doing like an outside door that comes into a shower unit and sink so that if you have to rinse some of your clothes off or God forbid your dog sprayed by a skunk. You could go into that room and deal with those situations. And if you have to strip down for whatever reason instead of bringing all that into the house you could do it there. I personally would make that my washroom but my home would have been a different layout
a good building practice is to place blocking/backing brackets where thing heavy will be mounted, such as handrail supports, light fixtures, fans etc. these also double as horizontal braces between load bearing wall studs. Plan for the furniture length and width and turning space. Some framers call it SHIM-FACE.
In Oregon we always blocked the upright studs in the walls for strength, it keeps the studs from bowing. Also blocking makes a good nailing surface behind the drywall. Lathe and plaster gives strength to the walls, without the lathe and plaster you need something to strengthen the upright studs. Especially to nail cabinets too. When drywall first came out, they always used to put plywood up first then put the drywall over top of the plywood. But they decided not use plywood as a backer for drywall to cut construction costs. All the houses I owned had all wood walls. I absolutely hate dry wall alone. It is a nightmare to decorate especially if you have something heavy you want to hang on the wall like mirrors or large oil paintings. My house had 12' ceilings and believe me when you decorate and have high ceilings it takes large pieces to make any kind of impression. Pocket doors are a must wherever possible.
Being a plumber of 33 plus years l can't wait for the plumbing to be laid out since all wall are sitting on structural beams so 3rd sits on 2nd to 1st and basement. So where's the plumbing going. Gonna need some plumbing walls so you don't need to cut beams
Good point! I hope they see this comment!
Sometimes I have to stop watching and do something else then I come back and finish, I hope that doesn’t mess things up I love watching your channel. I’m in the process of watching all the videos from the start so fun to watch you guys grow up. I think you should put a shower in the basement also.
Nice to see your basement foundation repair is at a point where you're back on the first floor. That house is going to be great when it's done.
I would do 2 doors for the pantry (2ft each) that open in. Much better look plus doors should open in. Agree with other commenters that bathroom door should have access from outside the pantry. Love these videos. I have watched all of them. Thanks for sharing your project.
Roman... that was one sketchy cut on the table saw. I was cringing the hole time expecting that stud (aka trimmer, jack, cripple😅) to launch😲
These home remodel videos are like crack😂😂😂. I go through withdrawals when there isn't a new video. ❤❤❤❤
I am impressed with the ‘stick-to-it-until-it-is-done’ attitude. Thank you for teaching us along the way. I really enjoy watching the videos all the way through. B
I'm excited to see how you handle all the random roof support boards in the attic when u convert it to a finished off 3rd floor.
I know you started uploading roughly 5 years ago but it’s crazy to see how much your UA-cam channel has grown since doing “Restoring a $7000 Mansion” series!
Congratulations 🎉
Roman if that truck has the fuse box on the radiator support, check fuse 27. Pull it out and see if the legs on the fuse are melted. Ford has a kit to switch it from a mini fuse to a j case fuse. Many a fuel pump has been replaced because of that fuse. Lol years affected 09 to 14.
Thank you for a great idea! Mine is 07, but I do need to check the fuses and relays
I love watching the remodel of this beautiful home! Justin and Roman’s banter make me laugh 🤣. What a great team you all are😊
Just a suggestion, double doors into the pantry, so two 2ft doors instead of one 4ft door. A 4ft door will stick out so far into the space when open. Also I personally like the look of double doors for a pantry.
Door to the pantry should open inwards toward the pantry, also a trimmer can also be called a jackstud (in Juston's defence I have heard other people call them cripples), but cripples are short studs (like above doors, windows).
I would love to see the blueprint of what you are talking about. It would make more sense for those of us who are visual people. I’m enjoying your videos of the house remodel. Look forward to seeing them.
Blueprints? Plans? LOL! They are all in Cole's head. I think it is a big mistake not to draw out and plan ahead instead of designing "on the fly".
@@wry569 I think it would be helpful to see it drawn out. Especially to install plumbing and electrical.
Consider using “steel” beams where you have few walls! I know you want to open up the kitchen/dining/living rooms. Just a thought. ❤️❤️🙏❤️❤️
Many of us suggested he use a steel beam in the basement. Now it's coming back to bite him a little. I'd like to see him stop for a second and reevaluate while he can make changes relatively easily.
I thought he mentioned a steel beam is still coming to go in the basement.
@@bryanirwin5473 Small steel beam to span something that really won't be a problem. I love all these want to be contractor saying use steel beams and they don't have a clue how $$$$ and heavy they are and then the problems later on. You taking a 4000 pound beam at about $4k then still need post. The size of beam you need to clear span that would be huge.
@@johnunsicker7440 Are you a structural engineer?
A guest room with full bath is very nice if you have visitors. Thanks for your videos.
I like that you put that header together one board at a time up where the needed to go!
Hola Cole, Roman, and Juston!! I love watching y'all so much! I was 10 the first time I even remotely helped build a footer. My dad was a master builder. This makes me so happy!! Thanks for posting!❤❤
Cole,
You can install intermediate bracing between the studs and it will really stiffen up the walls. If add rose braces you are bracing the studs in the weak direction.
Hey Cole. Great work. Suggestion is cut the pantry door in half for two narrow doors opening into the pantry. Swinging that barn door out into the room will be cumbersome.
I watch your videos from start to finish. I cant enough of Cole , Justin and Roman. You guys have gotten so much done.
I love this series so much !!
True
Thank you for explaining as you go! I love learning how things are done! I always watch all the way through as I enjoy them !
My husband and I remodeled 4 different home over the years. I am 85 and he is gone, so watching you figure it out and do the work is very interesting to me. Really like seeing the progress as you go along. Be safe as you and the guys work. ❤️
An oscillating saw would slice through the nails in a heartbeat and it’s also great for cutting any wood, metal, tiles, etc. where your clearance for a saw is extremely thin or narrow. Worth every penny!
I look forward to each new video. I don't want to miss anything. So enjoy this family.
The steal beam would have eliminated that problem. I would have used 2x6 to eliminate that problem. It is the closest thing to the original wood in the house.
Yes . Very true . Expensive though
@@Robsav-yx6vi it is but I would rather spend the money, do it right, and cry about it once. The corners that are being cut scares me because I have seen this done and the nightmare it is to fix it. Plus they are worrying about it being level which they will never get it level. They need to get it plumb and be done with it. They are doing things twice means that they don’t have any blueprints and if they did have them, they are not using them.
These longer form episodes really meet the gravity of the project. You are absolutely demolishing your home and building back better! You three will remember these days the rest of your lives. Great content and thank you!
Watched every episode to date ,loving it ,best wishes from Scotland 👌👍💙
this is some of the best content youve made yet cole good job
Good series. I watch them all the way till the end and all of the advertising.
See ya next time. Just keep them videos coming and I will watch them.
Install fire blocking ( what you call them) noggings between studs. Its to prevent compression (bending of studs) ie wood does not slow down fire, it feeds it. Kings studs and jack studs. Trimmers are like window sill, door heads or extra packing in windows. Also when you cut out joists for like a hole you install trimmers. On a 22.5 angle, usually put a stud either side for support but, whatever
Question - none of the new walls have any bracing - don't you have to have braces as an internal to the wall fire stop, if not for the structural support? Genuine question, actually don't know 🤷♂️
I love that by the time you are done, the whole video is going to be you recapping what you have done so far. It should take about 50minutes I'd say and I can't wait!
Before and after shots would be cool too!
Cole, could you show us blueprints or even just a drawing of the layout?
It’s a little bit confusing when all the walls are open like they’re now.
Where will the door be for the toilet, in the pantry? Will the stairs be boarded off? Where is the main entrance going to be? Didn’t you want a handicap accessible entrance? If i remember correctly you talked about closing off one of the entrances?
It’s also quite confusing how each floor is on top of the other, under what is “the room” with the big tank? Under what is the soon to be bathroom in the basement? Same with the 3rd floor. Will there still be two staircases? Or one that goes just up and one that goes just down?
Hope you’ll show us in an upcoming video
While a jack stud is used to support the weight of the header, a cripple stud is cut to add additional framing above the door or window opening, and below a window. Though cripple studs are not load-bearing, they’re important parts of a building’s framing because they serve as blocks for other building materials, such as plywood or drywall, to attach.
Loved your intro. It reminded me of that old nurses rhyme "This is the House that Jack Built".
You mean trimmer .... *snork*
Always entertained by your content, it's awesome!
Love the rebuild/repair/remodel! One thing you fellas are doing, that I can't endorse enough, is sweepin up. Bits of board, loose screws and nails and sawdust can turn the floor to a slippery, fall inducer.
This all takes me back to when I was a kid. My parents bought a lot on the same street on which my grandfather and great-uncle both lived. Then, my dad and "Paw Paw" would work on our future home each weekend. The two of them did every aspect of the construction with the exception of the HVAC system (in order to have a warranty) and bricking the house. It took them a little over 5 years to complete, but when we moved in everything was paid for-- no mortgage! Of course, it was a far cry from the Cornstar mansion (about 1800 sq ft with 3 BRs and 2 Baths).
If you put a mantle and fireplace, be sure and put electrical on the mantle at each end to allow for plugging Christmas lights on or other decorations that Nave may want to use. I always have to use an extension cord and you have to try to hide it.
I always enjoy watching three if you working on the “project.”
Love the house remodel content. Awesome, seeing all the progress with the house, shops, bins, and the yard. Good work!
Many times when preparing food you will go in and out of the Pantry many times leaving the door open. Having the door swing into the room may be in the way for going into the pantry over and over. May have to consider bi fold doors or have it swing into the pantry.
Just a thought but have you considered putting a sprinkler system in while you're this far tore down?
