Thank you for making a watchable video. No motion for the sake of motion, no rapid cutting ER nonense, no gimmicky transitions, no constant drone shots for no reason, just telling a story.
Not 10 seconds in and we're already talking a swing in the bedroom! 😆 No wonder this mode of building and this channel resonates with me so much! Very awesome guys!
I thoroughly enjoyed watching every video of this build. I want a 24x36, with a higher pony wall on the upper floor, with the upper floor being only 12x24 with the downstairs living space open to the top. You’ve got me dreaming!
There's little I could add to many of the excellent comments, save that Dewey speaks volumes....and not by barking. It says a huge amount about the company and the work environment when there's a well-behaved and happy dog being part of the team. Give him a hug from me!
please do more houses! i absolutely love this, i dont have the ability to take your course yet but watching these builds gets me by until i do. cant wait to see more
This was awesome thanks for taking us along on the journey of this build! Just completed both the online courses and I gotta say watching this build was so inspiring!
Great job, really enjoyed the series! How will the exterior be waterproofed?…im assuming a typical home wrap and taped seems. I’m also assuming you guys can order the sips panels with Huber zip sheathing which would make waterproofing faster. Also curious if you have ever done a blower door test on a build? Thanks.
Thanks for watching! Unfortunately Zip System sheathing is only available in 8' lengths, and we often need seamless panels up to 24' so it is not an option. It would be great if it were available! We don't blower door test because there is still so much work to do after we leave that involves roof and wall penetrations, the results would not be very accurate........and in this case we did not install windows!
I'd love to see a video about the different foundations and the situations in which you would use certain foundations for timber frame builds. I see allot of concrete pads but no explanation of what's beneath. And are concrete post feet acceptable? I've done a lot of research and the opinions on this are so differential that it's overwhelming.
Very beautiful home, congratulations on your work here. Can you tell me, if cutting all of the beams for the home took about six worker months, about what would it have taken if it had been done in pine?
What happens with the moisture that is accumulated inside the walls as the house heats up and cools down? Doesnt the insulation you choose trap that inside the wall?
Noice! We hope to use your teachings to build an octagon structure surrounded by earth bags that will be flood/ fire and hurricane resistant. Have you planned/built any earth bag, timber frame, sip hybrids? Keep up the good work! I love those cheeks, they really expand the volumetric experience of the space 😂 👍😎 STOC
A 7'x9' overhead door will just fit in there. Some of our customer also install sliders or swinging doors in uninsulated buildings like this garage-gives a more barn like appearance.
Incredible timber frame, well done, can't get down with all that foam though. I grind my teeth thining about the pollution involveed with the manufacturing, instal and end of life of that stuff. Much prefer natural / earthen walls.
Hi Gaius, Any video on youtube don't shoot the timber frame post details attachment to OSB floor or Concrete floor since there are different ways of doing this. Some of them are using sill plates some of them are directly attaching to concrete . Can you please kindly shoot some details of this . How can we attach a timber post to concrete block stem wall foundation ? Everything is clear but not the post connection to any type of floor structure. :( I appreciate your efforts and very happy to watch your videos . Thanks
Hi Tora-we have two videos on this topic-'How to Attach a Timber Frame to a Concrete Foundation (Part 1&2). Link here: ua-cam.com/video/eGWcSJXOzPU/v-deo.html. These videos just show a few ways, there many more. In your case, (in very generic terms) if you are using a block wall, you would run rebar from the footing up through the block core, then fill the block cores with concrete and install one of the post bases shown in the video. Hope this is helpful/useful.
@@ShelterInstitute thanks for your answer , i had seen these videos already , you say in a video that it can change if the weather is hurricane and by code needs fastening the post to floor , then if it is raised floor and needs hurricane(or earthquake) how then you connect post to floor ? with metal fsteners to raised wood osb floor ? and how ? with concrete floor it is ok with metal fasteners to concrete but with osb floor ? thanks a lot
I wouldn't close off a single thing if I built one of these homes. Maybe the bathrooms. I might close off a bathroom. Or, even better, build a timber frame outhouse and connect it to the house via the zipline for the winter months.
When OSB is manufactured, it often sits outside for a while before shipping; the entire outside of the stack is sprayed with paint to give it some protection-the green sheets happened to be on top of the stack when it got sprayed.
@@ShelterInstitute I thank you for your response. You guys need to open up more spots for your in person classes. I can't believe your 2023 year is all filled up
why dont you leave a 1 inch gab between the house and deck ,so moisture can drain down between rather than a 6 inch step ,it would flow better at same level ,and not be a trip hazard ,
Gotta hate OSB's and all that foam. A house should not be a plastic bag. Glue and foam has no place in a healthy house made from pure breathable materials. Maybe even the US will realise that someday ;-) Kudos on the series though, very well made.
We have not found a cellulose based SIP(structural insulated panel) that can be manufactured in 24’ lengths. We would be very excited to talk to somebody who is currently manufacturing that or working on a company that will eventually manufacture that!

Thank you for watching and for the kind words!
What a great job, and importantly a fun crew!
Thank you! We are extremely lucky to have the crew we have.

Thank you for watching!
for such a big investment in time and planning great to see such care and commitment to Quality
Thank you Dana!

Wow - great video and beautiful craftsmanship. Thanks.
Would love to see a tour of the finished house.
That was great! Thanks guys!
Thank you for watching!
Stunning!
These videos are just amazing. Thank you all for taking the time to talk through your builds. One day I hope to build a home with your team.
Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words!
Super series. Thanks very much guys!
Thank you for watching!
Great work guys! Love the double ridge and dormer upstairs.
Thank you Brady!
please do more houses! i absolutely love this, i dont have the ability to take your course yet but watching these builds gets me by until i do. cant wait to see more
Thank you very much! We absolutely plan to
Thank you for allowing us to come along. I definitely enjoyed watching. We are anticipating building a barn in a month or so.
Thank you for following along, best of luck in your build!
Great job guys.
Awesome, as always!
Thank you!
Beautiful building. Loved watching the construction
That's what drywall lifts are for. Although sometimes you need to build a false floor just to finish the ceiling.
Nice work by the entire team. Looking forward to the next series.
Regarding hiding the spalting on that timber, I personally prefer seeing that sort of thing. Gives it character
These walk-throughs are the best. I really enjoy hearing the thought process!
Gabe's the reason the rafters were backwards then 🤭 Amazing work. Such a great space
Love these so much, hopefully I will be able to take the course sometime, so much I know and nobody does anything timber frame here
I loved this series! Thank the crew for putting up with whatever it took to make this happen. This is absolutely great content. Period.
We love making this content and hope to continue producing it at this level!
This was awesome thanks for taking us along on the journey of this build! Just completed both the online courses and I gotta say watching this build was so inspiring!
What does Gabe mean when he says (at 22:45) "coming back to tie the posts down" ?
Thanks very much for this video, great work.
It would be nice to see it complete finished…..

Are the rafters from the dormer and the roof lapped on the ridge? That's an interesting junction.
Picks the most beautiful wood in the house and says "Like this- normally you wouldn't want to see this."
Very beautiful home, congratulations on your work here. Can you tell me, if cutting all of the beams for the home took about six worker months, about what would it have taken if it had been done in pine?
Pine timbers shave about 15% of the cutting time compared to hemlock.
What happens with the moisture that is accumulated inside the walls as the house heats up and cools down? Doesnt the insulation you choose trap that inside the wall?
nice.

what is the longest span do you build? to lessened the the post inside the living area, so you have more of an open space? thanks
We are able to create almost any sized span via truss systems, steel integration and utilization of glulam.
🙌🙌
🙌
Who do you use for SIPS?
Sill of the door? Would that be what we flat landers call the threshold?
It's what you step over to get out to the door yard! (The threshold).
7:25 Ironic to hear those timbers being 'undesirable' as those individual anomalies are exactly what I want to have in my home project.
I need to find where to get 2x6 T&G in my area, I am obsessed
We really like it, it also installs relatively easily
How does the electrical look? Is it at plain sight or hidden? How does that work on these timber frame type homes?
The SIPs we install on the exterior of the frame contain horizontal and vertical wire chases making for a grid work!
How is the electrical installed?
Does a barn house in Wisconsin sound intriguing? 🤔
With the garage what kind of garage doors can you install since the corners are being obstructed by the supports?
A 7'x9' overhead door will just fit in there. Some of our customer also install sliders or swinging doors in uninsulated buildings like this garage-gives a more barn like appearance.
Incredible timber frame, well done, can't get down with all that foam though. I grind my teeth thining about the pollution involveed with the manufacturing, instal and end of life of that stuff. Much prefer natural / earthen walls.

Seems it would be easier to prime and paint the ceiling drywall before installing the panels.
I was under the Impression that one of the Benefits to Timber Fram Construction was the possibility of having very open floor plans....
Am I mistaken?
I wouldn't close off a single thing if I built one of these homes. Maybe the bathrooms. I might close off a bathroom. Or, even better, build a timber frame outhouse and connect it to the house via the zipline for the winter months.
Zipline is essential
What are the green sip panels? Why are there a couple of them?
When OSB is manufactured, it often sits outside for a while before shipping; the entire outside of the stack is sprayed with paint to give it some protection-the green sheets happened to be on top of the stack when it got sprayed.
@@ShelterInstitute I thank you for your response. You guys need to open up more spots for your in person classes. I can't believe your 2023 year is all filled up

Whens the next one?
We'll get another series out ASAP!
Gotta hate OSB's and all that foam. A house should not be a plastic bag. Glue and foam has no place in a healthy house made from pure breathable materials. Maybe even the US will realise that someday ;-) Kudos on the series though, very well made.
Getting that kinky play in a swing bed
It seems very weird to me to have such a beautifully crafted wooden frame insulated with styrofoam. Why don't you use cellulose insulation?
We have not found a cellulose based SIP(structural insulated panel) that can be manufactured in 24’ lengths. We would be very excited to talk to somebody who is currently manufacturing that or working on a company that will eventually manufacture that!
Schade, erst eine gute Zimmererarbeit leisten und dann alles mit Sondermüll dämmen 😞
сплошные столбы. не понравилось вообще. не архитектура , а склад.
A cup of coffee or (a joint, no wait, cant say that....) a glass of whiskey =]
It would be a shame to furnish this house.
