The house is coming along very nicely and I know you guys want to do all the work but, as an Electrician for over 20 years, I strongly recommended that you have a professional do the pre-wire. One guy could knock that house out in a day and if anything was to go wrong, it would be insured. Just my two cents. Love the stove.
In our State the electrical HAS to be done and signed off by a Licenced electrician , also most Home Insurers require this , and the Fireplace has to be inspected by the Fire Inspector and have the inspection paperwork for insurance purposes.
I really hope they hire someone, plumbing yeah u can get away with & make sure cuts are fine & take apart to re-glue. Electrical, nope u mess up & it's more problems.
I watched my dad build our house way back in 60’s he was a union grade nsuperintendant of construction company as a living. Even he knew with all his skills n experience, is to hire a. Licenced Electritian.
Awesome! Take pics of every single wall, underground plumbing, wiring and keep in a binder...years go by, repairs are needed and being able to flip that book out and see where that “line” goes is crucial.
This is a must. We have in floor heat. Our home is built on a slab. I took pictures of all the floor heat tubes plus all of the water lines coming into the slab. We have referenced these photos many times for one reason or another. Smartest thing I have ever done.
Just want to let you know that my wife is a Special Education Teacher in the DC area and I introduce her to your channel a few months ago. Due to Covid 19 she's teaching on line. She created a Geography unit for her kids using some of the information from your travels in Central and South America. The kids love it!! Keep up the good work. You both are amazing!! Salud!
I'm not a plumber, but I do strongly suggest you insulate your drain pipes all the way down for sound, them plastic pipes are very loud so a good wrap would really make a BIG difference to your enjoyment later on. . .
There last video was by far one of the best scenic videos & that says alot because it's always beautiful lol. All the snow on the trees behind their house could seriously be a postcard! I thought wow, Fall is going to be so beautiful 😍
Since I got into the comments early, may you will see my comment: thank you for your videos. I am a counselor and you guys help me not to carry so much burdens. The reason is that you are positive and call things "adventures." The smiles and positive attitude encourages me so I can help others. Thank you!😁🎈
Being a counselor is such an amazing calling in life to be able to do that for others. Thank you for what you do - it's very hard work and often can be taxing on you personally. Please know that you are appreciated very much. Have a great day and I hope something exciting and wonderful happens for you today!!
I used that reframing with my Hubs...when we get lost going somewhere it’s an adventure not a bad thing. With this reframe we’ve enjoyed seeing places we would not otherwise see! Even in our home city!
Well this is quite a coincidence...I happen to have that exact same Jotul stove with the heat shield with an 7 1/2” clearance to the drywall behind it. I thought good to go. I happened to feel the wall behind it with a moderate fire in the unit. The drywall was TOO HOT to touch! It might not have started a fire but it scared the crap out of me. I installed a lovely corrugated metal shield on the wall with a one inch air space. Looks great and I can sleep nights!
yep safer is using firerock behind the stove ... not regular sheet rock .. it saves trouble and makes putting another surface like copper or stone or brick easy as well
I have to say, I moved into a cabin in the redwoods, and was 8 mos. pregnant and started nesting so I gutted my kitchen, and so glad I did, because the pot belly stove (woods stove) had burned the 2x4s down to a 16th of an inch and there was a charred mess in my wall. That house was so close to going up in flames, so I agree make sure that wall gets some protection before you finish the other side of it, because you won't know once that wall is closed up if you are charring your studs. This was an old cabin we had bought in the redwoods...
Once the roof is on put a permanent ladder system on the roof. It helps immensely with wood stove pipe cleaning! We have a 12-12 pitch and the system works like a charm.
Since you’re planning to use the stove for most of your heat, you will find that you will get quite a stratification of temperatures between the top floor, main floor and basement, which will stay very cold. You can run a duct with the intake above your upstairs bathroom down to floor level in the basement with a thermostat controlled recirculating fan in the duct (thermostat in bedroom) to pull the excess heat from the bedroom down into the basement and make the whole house more comfortable. Are you planning to do this? Now’s the time to work on it.
It’s a great suggestion. Any opportunity to ´burn’ outside air as opposed to drawing air from the house? The house air will be replaced from the house from whatever leaks exist.
Great idea! I have a smallish house (1372 sq ft) that is only one floor. But because of the elevation (south facing ranch style w/master on east end) my bedroom is the coldest room in the house even though I have centralized heating & a/c.
For sure! With wood heat in a central area (and of course no ducting), it is really important to build in some circulatory systems. Those small fans on the stove will help, but it won't be enough due to multiple levels and very tall ceilings. Your suggestion is a great one. The basement will be a constant cold source, so they really should direct some of the excess heat into it, as you say it will make the whole house more comfortable and actually easier to heat. Otherwise the basement forms a constant heat sink and the floor above will be COLD.
Steve, we did exactly that, and it worked really well! We also had or furnace in the basement (hopefully that is where Trent is locating theirs?), which helped keep the basement from being TOO cold. That, and foam-insulated walls. 👍🏼 The ducting was actually most helpful in pulling the heat away from the upstairs in winter. Our vent fan was also reversible, so we could also pull cold air up from the basement during the summer, if needed. Not as useful here in AK, but might be in Utah.
LOVE the new opening, and THANK YOU for not having an opening that is TOO LONG, causing a person to skip through it EVERY TIME!!! Yours is just PERFECT!!! BRAVO!!!
I have to say it's like watching a movie, the shots, the editing, the characters, the music, the dialogue, I enjoy every single second of your videos. Thankyou so much, you guys are love❤️.
No nothing about film making but the editing "flows" nicely. Not aware of the cuts. The panning shots are great. It pulls you in and just flows. Allie, if you didn't take any editing classes you could have fooled me. You are better than some people I know that are in the business!
Good job! You probably already know this but my OC brain makes me say: Make sure you put metal plates over the wall sides of the studs where the pvc pipe ( or electrical wires) go through the studs to keep from puncturing them with screws or nails in the rest of the wall building and living process! There, I feel better now...thanks!😎👍
One more thing. Cutting a 3" hole in almost every stud weakens the wall significantly. You should have used 2x6 studs for a plumbing wall. You may have to use plywood to sheath the wall. And be sure to mark where the pipes are so that drywall screws do not hit the plumbing. Good luck.
Yes, good call! Simpson makes stud stiffeners for cases where the drilled hole leaves very little wood on either side of the pipe. Not sure if they are for load bearing walls or not, but you should check on it. At the very least you need nail plates wherever any pipe is within, say, 1/2” from the edge of a stud or plate.
Do any of you know if they will be allowed to run electrical in the wall under the pipes? Seems this would be against code. Another option is to try to run all the drainage through the floors and vent straight up.
All your wood “hamster shavings” would make great fire starters. I hope you used them. Also, once you get moved in, old toilet paper rolls stuffed with dryer lint are also a great fire starter. Love you guys. 🥰❤️❤️❤️
When I was younger we lived on a farm and had two wood burning stoves, one in the living room and a cooking wood burning stove in the kitchen. I loved to lay in front of the the stove in the kitchen while my mother cooked and oh the food was so good. Both stoves gave off the best heat. So excite for y’all to enjoy your stove♥️
When I was a kid some 57 years ago, We had a wood stove, back when farmers used corn pickers, so we had a mountain of corn cobs, that's what we burned, Our wood burning Stove was a Huge cook stove, it heated the whole house
Allie; the circles that is being cut out of the boards can be gathered and decorated for your Christmas Tree next Christmas!!!They would be a extra tribute to the construction of your home!!!AND bring back Great Memories during the construction..
I’ve got to say, I think you guys do sponsored videos better than anyone else on UA-cam. I can appreciate that it’s difficult with the raft of changes to earning you UA-cam that have been made, but it’s always somewhat relevant, and nicely integrated. You guys make absolutely fantastic videos, you continue to impress year after year. Good on you
Even incomplete and still freezing inside, to me your home is already so warm. That's just who you two are. But I'm happy to see the woodstock hooked up and working. Game changer, for certain. Like most of the followers here, I'll relax more when the heat shield wall goes on. Enjoy the fruits of your labor, you have really earned it.
But will it cause ember as it flows up though the pipe out side as ash .,🙄🙄And lite something out side , just a thought . Never thought uses that but my step father would had kitten bc he was a fireman captain many years .
Hey guys, a small suggestion for you. Take pictures of the plumbing runs, print them and write measurements on them. Also do this with your electrical wiring. I built my house almost 30 year ago, and I wish I had taken pictures on many occasions, doing odd jobs and remodeling jobs. Just put them in a safe place and remember that they are there if you ever need them. Then there's no guess work as to where the wiring or plumbing is once you get sheet rock up. Good job on the house, I find it very entertaining, as I was a novice when I built my house too. I'm laughing along with you at times, never once have I laughed at anything you've done. Can't wait to see it finished.
I just find it so adorable the loving way you both look at each other while the other is talking. When you both are smiling, I also find myself smiling. You can feel how deeply you love each other.
Trent asked for plumbing advice. I'm retired plumbing electrical and appliance. I went over your vent pipe job over and over again. I found nothing wrong! FIRE in the hole! Perfect fire place! We can't wait for you to invent the wheel on the next one. WE LOVE YOUR SHOWS!
All I can say is that I have never seen such determination in a man in my life! You both are a treasure!! I had to look away when you were on top of the roof Trent, I loved when Allie said, get down!! lol Now I count the minutes until your next video on Monday!! oxox
When I was younger, I lived in a house with a king stove with a blower on it. Then above every bedroom door, there was a square cut out and the house would get so warm and toasty! I loved that wood burning stove.
I have a high pitched metal roof and there is no way I could have gutters. The snow sluffing would wipe them out! To that point, my stove pipe/chimney goes to the inside top of my ceiling and out. Because it's at the point of my roof, snow doesn't effect it. Allie's enthusiasm and excitement is soooo adorable!! and contagious! love your videos!
Trent and Allie, A couple of things I thought you need to consider before you start any dry lining, Firstly make copious notes and dimensions of all of the pipe runs on both the waste and the water feed runs. And Secondly, having made the notes, ensure the pipe runs are delineated on the outside, to avoid fixings for pictures puncturing the pipework. Prevention being better than cure...
Yeah, I would have tried to run all drainage through the floors and checked to see if venting could just go straight up. Now they may have to put metal plates on all the studs and may not be able to run electrical under the water lines in the walls.
Pro-tip: don't stick any fastener in a stud cavity that is thicker than the drywall. Dont stick a fastener into a stud that is thicker than the drywall+1" unless you are absolutely sure it's a clear stud.
Hi Trent and Allie , Greetings from South Africa. I enjoy your chanel ,always something of interest. Maybe you have seen the outside faucets that are about 4 feet long and the shutoff valve is down at the base and it has an escape hole for the water left in the pipe when it is closed. Enjoy your project and keep up the great humour that you all have. Best regards.
Remember to clean your stove glass every time it is cold before you make your fire. Use a newspaper to wipe the glass and it will stay nice and clean. Use newspaper and a little water with ashes on the newspaper to clean if there is build up on stove glass when it is cold!! 👏🥳🎉
I loved your story of being a drain cleaner. I did a stint with the plumbers on a military base and that was my job! Only a few weeks, but now I’m unafraid of any clog I get in my house. I also learned how to take care of my pipes and the ability of water to wreak havoc and damage. Building your own homes (yes the van and camper too) is a huge benefit to you down the road. I am enjoying watching this immensely. 🥰🥰🥰
Fire starter tip. Dip a cotton ball in Vaseline. Then put cotton ball in fireplace next to the wood. Light cotton ball. It lights up immediately. Found that info on Pinterest and have tested it out. Works perfectly. It eliminates the need of putting paper and twigs in fireplace.
I imagine you already have this in mind, where electrical and any plumbing pipes pass through the wall studs try to remember to ark and measure those locations so when you start doing sheetrock. We can buy metal plates that one can staple to the stud so a sheetrock screw can't pierce the timber damaging the wire or pipe
When your beautiful home is finished, you guys should a photo taken with you two sitting in front of your fireplace/stove with Frank in between you two. Make it a framed picture in your home ... and maybe greeting cards out of it too. 😃 Everything looks awesome 👏
In 1999 I was the plumber and electrician at my house for a big kitchen demo reno + 17'x20' kitchen /great room addition. I bought a bunch of tools both battery and plug in. One was a Milwaukee 1/2" plug in drill. Is the way with to go for both plumbing and electrical work. It has the power you need. A few years later I used it again for a gigantic kitchen gut reno, garage conversion to great room + bath at my friend's house for the electrical work. Passed all inspections (this is allowed in my state for the homeowner). I used it again this year for a bathroom gut reno. Not cheap, not too expensive, really worth it. Auger bits are the way to go for the 100s of holes you will need to drill for the wiring.
I am a plumber, and in the state of Texas, we are supposed to rim & Debore pvc pipes after cutting them, that is done to avoid cloggs, with toilet tissue, or hair, but I do love that pvc cement W/Primer.
We’ve owned several wood stoves (best heat ever!) and to really circulate air, I hope you install a big ceiling fan which, hanging from your high ceiling, would look so great. We all feel so emotionally invested in your house. (Maybe we could all come over for a house-warming BBQ when you’re done! I’ll bring a potato salad.)
We're in Utah. It's Green Jello salad here LOL. but it's true!!! What is the Jello capital of the world? Salt Lake City Salt Lake City is America's Jell-O-eating capital. Every man, woman and child in Salt Lake City buys two boxes of the stuff annually, or twice the national average, says Mary Jane Kinkade of Jell-O brand gelatin-maker Kraft Foods. Utah residents also eat twice as much lime Jell-O as anyone else on the planet.Feb 13, 2002
Trent only needs to control how hard he pushes the 2" hole saw in the wood. You have to at times pull back on the drill. Trent fore arms, need to be a little stronger..🤔
You three are amazing. I want to suggest that you reward yourselves with an early shutdown on the days when you have faced a particularly tough task. Like being on a ladder and/or on that roof. Including watching your beloved on the ladder or on the roof. Knock off early after a job like that and reward yourselves with a treat for dinner and/or dessert. Go to town and get something yummy for dinner, go for a walk, play with Frank, do some yoga, meditate or vegetate. Stress is insidious and very easily denied. Make some snow angels. All the best to you beautiful people!
For the smell from the septic tank, cap The tee inside the tank for now to stop the fumes in the tank from coming up the pipe, after you’re done construction remove the cap on the tee to allow proper venting
I used to have a wood stove set up about ten feet away from a hottub in my basement and Used to make a fire and watch it while relaxing in the tub. Just loved it. Loved the video as usual. Really love the new intro.
Hi both of you, glad to see you both love how the cabin is coming along, always waiting for Monday’s and Friday’s . xx 👍🏴🏴🏴🏴👍🏴🏴🏴🏴👍
I probably should have posted this a few videos ago but the trick to working on a roof (especially when slippery with snow or rain) is to also hook up a ladder so you can 'sit'/kneel on the ladder rungs flat against the roof
@@gracecollins8415 My house was at a ski area in Washington state where, due to how wet the snow is, we have (or almost have) the highest snow load requirements in the U.S. Our average snow depth is around 20' We leave an 'eye' on the roof for hooking into but can't leave a ladder or it would hold too much snow.
@@shawnw.4440 No snow here, it's the reverse. Our problem is the sun. In summer, new unpainted rooves are highly reflective and the dazzle can be a problem for neighbours and drivers plus any metal left out gets hot enough to give a serious burn.
In Colonial Williamsburg Virginia they have ladders laying on some of the roofs. They represent that they used these ladders to fight fires around chimneys back in the 1700s. They didn't have all the modern safety things built into stoves and chimneys today. These were wood ladders laying in wood shakes roofs.
Your new house has a lovely setting in the woods! Cheers to you from BC in Canada, where we certainly know about the woods! Our province is about 90% mountains and forest.
Great progress on the build. Chimney completed, fires, and lots of glue sniffing. The plumbing definitely goes quicker than the electric or finish woodworking. With the wood stove in place, getting the wiring and insulation in will make a huge difference in keeping the house warm. Congratulations on keeping the water flowing. Stay safe, warm and well.
Hey you too love it all PS especially Trent never ever ever ever under any circumstances call yourself stupid or anything negative always be kind and speak the best. Your cells are listening epigenetics dr. Bruce Lipton XX

Wow! Well, some of that was nail-biting. Grats on having a real heat source, but my comment this time is really to congratulate Allie on her music choices for your videos (at least, I assume it's Allie because she does so much of the editing). They're excellent, they enhance some of your soaring panoramic drone shots, and underscore the mood of the moment and set the tone perfectly. It's something I've admired for many months now, but have never taken the time to mention. The editorial quality of your work has been significantly elevated over the past couple of years, and even when I enjoyed your earliest build videos, I now happily wait for Mondays and Fridays simply to enjoy your life's journey. Thanks!
Homeopathy lady here! AGAIN! After watching the hubby recover from a bike injury 3 weeks ago today... found unconscious concussed day in hospital fractured cheek brain bleed... Again I recommend you learn the art of H! Today you absolutely cannot tell he was so injured! I am a bit advanced but simple broken bones are EASY, pain issues EASY! Follow up Drs thought we were joking until they saw the pictures, hospital report and did Xrays. 3 weeks and just a tad of the whiplash still healing oh yeah, he is 72 yrs young!
Also a compression work you can do... wrap hands around injury and squeeze gently for a minute then release and gently stroke finger tips towards the shoulder... a few times each session a few times a day... Hopefully you will bounce back very quickly Trent.
Hey Tent! To get snow off your roof, take a 2x4 (however long you can manage) and drill a hole dead center according to length. Pull a long rope through the hole. Make a knot so it won't come out. Throw the board like a newspaper on top of the roof. Go stand by the door and pull the rope. The board will cause an avalanche. Repeat if necessary. Cheers.
I truly wait impatiently for Fridays & Mondays! I love “coming along” with the two of you💕 you make my heart FULL of hope & love for the future & dreams for young couples like yourself. Keep building & keep living your BEST lives ever! ❤️❤️❤️
I am a bit concerned about this wiring. Fire safety is no joke. Our friends just lost their home to fire due to wiring. Please have someone come in that is a professional. Love your videos and you are coming along great.
Once upon a time, watched you to enjoy your van adventures. Now, staying to follow your warm relationship and unflappable spirit. 327K and growing subscribers cannot be wrong! 😄 All the best to continue!!!
Pine cones make starting fires real easy if you have pine trees on your property. Also, buy a cast iron tea pot to fill with water and heat on your stove to keep some moisture in the air. Please turn down the background music. It gets really loud and I have to keep adjusting the volume.
You don’t know me but I have been watching you two from the beginning of this house! So happy for you doing what most say impossible and it’s working! Plus I did tear up for you Trent on the first fire! Well done.
You guys are doing the best you can and in the words of Trent “it could be better it could be worse but I’m happy with it” is all that matters if you feel that together
Before you insulate outside walls, make sure there isn't any moisture or you will have tons of mildew. Also... get copies of the house plans with studs and joists and draw to scale every system. Pictures are nice but being able to put a tape measure on a sheet rocked surface and know exactly what is behind it is really handy. We call these "As Built" drawings.
Yes we wrote the measurements on studs and walls. Made a photo album. Here 15 yrs later it has been great. We also keep all paper work and warranty in it.
"Get down, Trent."- Just as well Allie is there to keep Trent in check! Think how tough doing the top of the roof outside would have been without rock-climbing experience.
@@dawnegan3984 He has in the past. He is not climbing here, but it comes in handy to know how to set protection and use the gear as well as be confident to trust the gear.
We had a fireplace like that and I had a teakettle I put on top. You can also cook things on top too. Close off your basement door to keep your heat in the house. Only complaint I have is that your videos go so fast and I want more lol. House is really coming together, congrats!!
I agree unfortunately Trent and Allies videos do end but I am always excited for Monday and Friday mornings😘. I did want to mention that down comforters are a must in very cold weather and worth considering.
Wait, so you bought a laser gadget to check the stove temperature, but you don't want to buy a right angle drill that will be useful for plumbing, electrical, and continue to be useful for many other projects? Haha! Love you guys, hope you're wrist is okay Trent!
I assume the general problem is - think about in the shop. Later in the house they have to improvise. They never told us what's the distance. I assume, that's at least an hour.
Nothing like being pennywise and pound foolish. I mean it’s not like you won’t use it for the electrical work and they are also very nice to have when doing cabinet installs. But hey what do I know because I’m not a UA-cam star.
@@DeterminedDIYer this comment is what I was going to say! I've seen them at $15. I'm sure he also may not realize what else he will need the drill for. I'd personally want to know how hot the fire is though!
Trent, re: plumbing. This is what I know: I hate doing plumbing. Always have. The new stuff is easier than the old, and the old stuff for repairs drives me nuts. Love your work ethic/results. You guys are doing great.

In NY a homeowner can wire his own house, but it still has to pass inspection by an independent underwriter inspector.
THIS IS THE BEST ADVICE!!! Do yourself a huge favor and hire a professional electrician.

I have to say, I moved into a cabin in the redwoods, and was 8 mos. pregnant and started nesting so I gutted my kitchen, and so glad I did, because the pot belly stove (woods stove) had burned the 2x4s down to a 16th of an inch and there was a charred mess in my wall.

We used slate tile behind and under ours - looks great. But even plain cement-board (which is all we had the first year) will work and is much safer.
This really is a coincidence. I just bought the same stove too and put a video out about it yesterday!
Micore 300 mineral fiber board is really the only thing approved I've found to reduce clearance to combustibles without a 1 inch spacer.
Once the roof is on put a permanent ladder system on the roof. It helps immensely with wood stove pipe cleaning! We have a 12-12 pitch and the system works like a charm.

Nothing more mesmerizing than staring at the flames inside a wood stove on a cold day.
Especially in a rocking chair!
We call that Caveman TV
stirring the pot of stew you have on top of that stove getting all warm and tasty . is ;)
You need a fan for the top of your stove to radiate the heat into the room.
The only thing bad about Trent & Allie videos, is that they end.
I feel the same way...
Soooooo true!
Love my Monday and Friday mornings with Trent and Allie.
Lol, at least we rush for another view filtrating to their watch numbers 🤣
And damn i should be whipper snipping but I have to watch this vid.
Since you’re planning to use the stove for most of your heat, you will find that you will get quite a stratification of temperatures between the top floor, main floor and basement, which will stay very cold. You can run a duct with the intake above your upstairs bathroom down to floor level in the basement with a thermostat controlled recirculating fan in the duct (thermostat in bedroom) to pull the excess heat from the bedroom down into the basement and make the whole house more comfortable.
Are you planning to do this? Now’s the time to work on it.
Excellent idea!

LOVE the new opening, and THANK YOU for not having an opening that is TOO LONG, causing a person to skip through it EVERY TIME!!! Yours is just PERFECT!!! BRAVO!!!
I have to say it's like watching a movie, the shots, the editing, the characters, the music, the dialogue, I enjoy every single second of your videos. Thankyou so much, you guys are love❤️.
No nothing about film making but the editing "flows" nicely. Not aware of the cuts. The panning shots are great. It pulls you in and just flows. Allie, if you didn't take any editing classes you could have fooled me. You are better than some people I know that are in the business!
LOVE THE NEW INTRO AND THE GRAPHICS ARE BEAUTIFUL!
Don’t you just love the new house traffic? I do.
I love Fridays and Mondays!!
Good job! You probably already know this but my OC brain makes me say: Make sure you put metal plates over the wall sides of the studs where the pvc pipe ( or electrical wires) go through the studs to keep from puncturing them with screws or nails in the rest of the wall building and living process! There, I feel better now...thanks!😎👍
Wow, really good idea, I had not thought about later after the drywall goes on. Good catch! So obvious, I could not see that!
if trent does big fire..maybe he couldl check how hot is wall behind the stove and if will be hot than can put some plate on the wall
That is why six in. walls are usually used where 3 and 4 inch pipe goes through them.
@@joecool9124 Yep. Our entire house was framed with 2x6” boards. Made such a difference when we did plumbing, electric and insulation. 👍🏼
One more thing. Cutting a 3" hole in almost every stud weakens the wall significantly. You should have used 2x6 studs for a plumbing wall. You may have to use plywood to sheath the wall. And be sure to mark where the pipes are so that drywall screws do not hit the plumbing. Good luck.
Yeah, when I saw a hole drilled through every stud it made me a little nervous.
I noticed that too. I know it’s a interior wall and not really load bearing, but it does weaken the wall.
Yeah they need to put metal cable protectors on each side so they don't screw into that pipe or their wiring when they get to that.
Yes, good call! Simpson makes stud stiffeners for cases where the drilled hole leaves very little wood on either side of the pipe. Not sure if they are for load bearing walls or not, but you should check on it. At the very least you need nail plates wherever any pipe is within, say, 1/2” from the edge of a stud or plate.
Do any of you know if they will be allowed to run electrical in the wall under the pipes? Seems this would be against code. Another option is to try to run all the drainage through the floors and vent straight up.
All your wood “hamster shavings” would make great fire starters. I hope you used them. Also, once you get moved in, old toilet paper rolls stuffed with dryer lint are also a great fire starter. Love you guys. 🥰❤️❤️❤️
Impressed from the get-go ... walking up the ladder to the deck, carrying two stovepipe boxes AND your coffee! Amazing😊
When I was younger we lived on a farm and had two wood burning stoves, one in the living room and a cooking wood burning stove in the kitchen. I loved to lay in front of the the stove in the kitchen while my mother cooked and oh the food was so good. Both stoves gave off the best heat. So excite for y’all to enjoy your stove♥️
what a great experience and wonderful memory!❤
When I was a kid some 57 years ago, We had a wood stove, back when farmers used corn pickers, so we had a mountain of corn cobs, that's what we burned, Our wood burning Stove was a Huge cook stove, it heated the whole house
Allie; the circles that is being cut out of the boards can be gathered and decorated for your Christmas Tree next Christmas!!!They would be a extra tribute to the construction of your home!!!AND bring back Great
Memories during the construction..
I like that idea. 😊👍
Or, make coasters out of them to rest the huge mugs of hot chocolate on that you are enjoying in front of the fire.
I’ve got to say, I think you guys do sponsored videos better than anyone else on UA-cam. I can appreciate that it’s difficult with the raft of changes to earning you UA-cam that have been made, but it’s always somewhat relevant, and nicely integrated. You guys make absolutely fantastic videos, you continue to impress year after year. Good on you
Thank you so much, we really appreciate that 🙏🏼❤️
Even incomplete and still freezing inside, to me your home is already so warm. That's just who you two are. But I'm happy to see the woodstock hooked up and working. Game changer, for certain. Like most of the followers here, I'll relax more when the heat shield wall goes on. Enjoy the fruits of your labor, you have really earned it.
Just a tidbit for y'all in case you didn't know.dryer lent inside a t p roll works great to start a fire
Which is an excellent reminder to clean our your dryer vent to avoid fires where you don’t want them!
But will it cause ember as it flows up though the pipe out side as ash .,🙄🙄And lite something out side , just a thought . Never thought uses that but my step father would had kitten bc he was a fireman captain many years .
@@BABYGIRL19538 not that I know of
@@carmelbynum9665 nexts time I might try it 🤔🤔
Hey guys, a small suggestion for you. Take pictures of the plumbing runs, print them and write measurements on them. Also do this with your electrical wiring. I built my house almost 30 year ago, and I wish I had taken pictures on many occasions, doing odd jobs and remodeling jobs. Just put them in a safe place and remember that they are there if you ever need them. Then there's no guess work as to where the wiring or plumbing is once you get sheet rock up. Good job on the house, I find it very entertaining, as I was a novice when I built my house too. I'm laughing along with you at times, never once have I laughed at anything you've done. Can't wait to see it finished.
I just find it so adorable the loving way you both look at each other while the other is talking. When you both are smiling, I also find myself smiling. You can feel how deeply you love each other.
Trent asked for plumbing advice. I'm retired plumbing electrical and appliance. I went over your vent pipe job over and over again. I found nothing wrong! FIRE in the hole! Perfect fire place! We can't wait for you to invent the wheel on the next one. WE LOVE YOUR SHOWS!
You are the handiest not afraid to tackle the unknown. Great pride in you and Allie and the real cheerleader, Frank!
Make sure you put nail plates on to protect the drain lines (and supply lines) and some states requires stud shoes.
VERY important, especially for Trent,
LOL
All I can say is that I have never seen such determination in a man in my life! You both are a treasure!! I had to look away when you were on top of the roof Trent, I loved when Allie said, get down!! lol Now I count the minutes until your next video on Monday!! oxox
Determination? OMG, too funny!!
When I was younger, I lived in a house with a king stove with a blower on it. Then above every bedroom door, there was a square cut out and the house would get so warm and toasty! I loved that wood burning stove.
I’ve seen that in older homes, a square cut out with a wooden grid screen. Such a good idea.
I have a high pitched metal roof and there is no way I could have gutters. The snow sluffing would wipe them out! To that point, my stove pipe/chimney goes to the inside top of my ceiling and out. Because it's at the point of my roof, snow doesn't effect it.
Allie's enthusiasm and excitement is soooo adorable!! and contagious! love your videos!
I swear that you two have some of the most beautiful Drone shots that I have ever seen. Love you guys
Trent and Allie, A couple of things I thought you need to consider before you start any dry lining, Firstly make copious notes and dimensions of all of the pipe runs on both the waste and the water feed runs. And Secondly, having made the notes, ensure the pipe runs are delineated on the outside, to avoid fixings for pictures puncturing the pipework. Prevention being better than cure...
A simply solution today to a challenge in coming 'decorating' days !
Yeah, I would have tried to run all drainage through the floors and checked to see if venting could just go straight up. Now they may have to put metal plates on all the studs and may not be able to run electrical under the water lines in the walls.
Pro-tip: don't stick any fastener in a stud cavity that is thicker than the drywall. Dont stick a fastener into a stud that is thicker than the drywall+1" unless you are absolutely sure it's a clear stud.
..My Gosh ,, Allie's smile at the end makes everything better ..
Agreed. She should write a book about the Blond Italian. 😄
That roof work is edge of your seat watching and thanks Allie for choosing intense music to make it even more worrisome! :-0
Hi Trent and Allie , Greetings from South Africa. I enjoy your chanel ,always something of interest. Maybe you have seen the outside faucets that are about 4 feet long and the shutoff valve is down at the base and it has an escape hole for the water left in the pipe when it is closed. Enjoy your project and keep up the great humour that you all have. Best regards.
Remember to clean your stove glass every time it is cold before you make your fire. Use a newspaper to wipe the glass and it will stay nice and clean. Use newspaper and a little water with ashes on the newspaper to clean if there is build up on stove glass when it is cold!! 👏🥳🎉
You're best friends. That seems to be what really makes your relationship work. And I mean, Trent, Allie and Frank.
Good morning everyone!! Another great start to the day with a great video. Have a great day everyone!!
I loved your story of being a drain cleaner. I did a stint with the plumbers on a military base and that was my job! Only a few weeks, but now I’m unafraid of any clog I get in my house. I also learned how to take care of my pipes and the ability of water to wreak havoc and damage. Building your own homes (yes the van and camper too) is a huge benefit to you down the road. I am enjoying watching this immensely. 🥰🥰🥰
Prisca that is the best comment I have ever seen 🌋
Fire starter tip. Dip a cotton ball in Vaseline. Then put cotton ball in fireplace next to the wood. Light cotton ball. It lights up immediately. Found that info on Pinterest and have tested it out. Works perfectly. It eliminates the need of putting paper and twigs in fireplace.
I imagine you already have this in mind, where electrical and any plumbing pipes pass through the wall studs try to remember to ark and measure those locations so when you start doing sheetrock. We can buy metal plates that one can staple to the stud so a sheetrock screw can't pierce the timber damaging the wire or pipe
Just buy the protector plates that nail onto the studs.
And take photos.
A nice cast iron pot on top of the stove to put water in for humidity? A tea pot? Love the stove and the cool fans! Hope your hands/wrist are ok!
When your beautiful home is finished, you guys should a photo taken with you two sitting in front of your fireplace/stove with Frank in between you two. Make it a framed picture in your home ... and maybe greeting cards out of it too. 😃
Everything looks awesome 👏
I’ve looked forward to every video in the last year, and I just love watching you guys! The house is looking amazing :)
In 1999 I was the plumber and electrician at my house for a big kitchen demo reno + 17'x20' kitchen /great room addition. I bought a bunch of tools both battery and plug in. One was a Milwaukee 1/2" plug in drill. Is the way with to go for both plumbing and electrical work. It has the power you need. A few years later I used it again for a gigantic kitchen gut reno, garage conversion to great room + bath at my friend's house for the electrical work. Passed all inspections (this is allowed in my state for the homeowner). I used it again this year for a bathroom gut reno. Not cheap, not too expensive, really worth it. Auger bits are the way to go for the 100s of holes you will need to drill for the wiring.
I am a plumber, and in the state of Texas, we are supposed to rim & Debore pvc pipes after cutting them, that is done to avoid cloggs, with toilet tissue, or hair, but I do love that pvc cement W/Primer.
We’ve owned several wood stoves (best heat ever!) and to really circulate air, I hope you install a big ceiling fan which, hanging from your high ceiling, would look so great. We all feel so emotionally invested in your house. (Maybe we could all come over for a house-warming BBQ when you’re done! I’ll bring a potato salad.)
Yes! Please hang the fan while you have the scaffolding!
From a Kentucky company called BIG ASS FANS! Check them out.
I'll cater the entire day if that ever happens!
We're in Utah. It's Green Jello salad here LOL. but it's true!!!
What is the Jello capital of the world?
Salt Lake City
Salt Lake City is America's Jell-O-eating capital. Every man, woman and child in Salt Lake City buys two boxes of the stuff annually, or twice the national average, says Mary Jane Kinkade of Jell-O brand gelatin-maker Kraft Foods. Utah residents also eat twice as much lime Jell-O as anyone else on the planet.Feb 13, 2002
@@williamkraft5574 That is hilarious! Lime Jello?! Wow
There are small metal plates that you put on the 2x4 to insure that you do not put a drywall screw through the PVC,,,,
Also for electrical, so I wait and do it all before insulation.
Turn the torque down on your drill so that when it binds it won’t tear your wrist up.
Trent only needs to control how hard he pushes the 2" hole saw in the wood. You have to at times pull back on the drill. Trent fore arms, need to be a little stronger..🤔
I never worry about Trent's abilities. He can do anything he puts his mind into.
You three are amazing. I want to suggest that you reward yourselves with an early shutdown on the days when you have faced a particularly tough task. Like being on a ladder and/or on that roof. Including watching your beloved on the ladder or on the roof. Knock off early after a job like that and reward yourselves with a treat for dinner and/or dessert. Go to town and get something yummy for dinner, go for a walk, play with Frank, do some yoga, meditate or vegetate. Stress is insidious and very easily denied. Make some snow angels. All the best to you beautiful people!
Be safe up there Trent! I love how he talks to us like we're his friends! You guys are my favorite you tubers!
Allie stepping up the editing game, congrats you guys
She’s doing such a great job. So much fun to watch.
Sony A1 and 8k vlogs? Do it!
Haha....what an awesome journey! I rember when you started butting down trees on the lot and now have the structure up! Congrats!
Trent and Allie do the best do it yourself home building videos. Lots of fun and the beautiful Allie.
For the smell from the septic tank, cap The tee inside the tank for now to stop the fumes in the tank from coming up the pipe, after you’re done construction remove the cap on the tee to allow proper venting
I used to have a wood stove set up about ten feet away from a hottub in my basement and Used to make a fire and watch it while relaxing in the tub. Just loved it. Loved the video as usual. Really love the new intro.
Hi both of you, glad to see you both love how the cabin is coming along, always waiting for Monday’s and Friday’s . xx 👍🏴🏴🏴🏴👍🏴🏴🏴🏴👍
FRANKY....💨💨💨💨💨💨💨

I probably should have posted this a few videos ago but the trick to working on a roof (especially when slippery with snow or rain) is to also hook up a ladder so you can 'sit'/kneel on the ladder rungs flat against the roof
When I was young most high pitched corrugated iron rooves had a ladder on hooks permanently attached to the roof, leading up to the chimney.
@@gracecollins8415 My house was at a ski area in Washington state where, due to how wet the snow is, we have (or almost have) the highest snow load requirements in the U.S. Our average snow depth is around 20' We leave an 'eye' on the roof for hooking into but can't leave a ladder or it would hold too much snow.
@@shawnw.4440 No snow here, it's the reverse. Our problem is the sun. In summer, new unpainted rooves are highly reflective and the dazzle can be a problem for neighbours and drivers plus any metal left out gets hot enough to give a serious burn.
In Colonial Williamsburg Virginia they have ladders laying on some of the roofs. They represent that they used these ladders to fight fires around chimneys back in the 1700s. They didn't have all the modern safety things built into stoves and chimneys today. These were wood ladders laying in wood shakes roofs.
Your new house has a lovely setting in the woods! Cheers to you from BC in Canada, where we certainly know about the woods! Our province is about 90% mountains and forest.
Great progress on the build. Chimney completed, fires, and lots of glue sniffing. The plumbing definitely goes quicker than the electric or finish woodworking. With the wood stove in place, getting the wiring and insulation in will make a huge difference in keeping the house warm. Congratulations on keeping the water flowing. Stay safe, warm and well.
Hey you too love it all PS especially Trent never ever ever ever under any circumstances call yourself stupid or anything negative always be kind and speak the best. Your cells are listening epigenetics dr. Bruce Lipton XX
YEAH Trent, Anyone who can Build their own house, figure out the plumbing, fix the truck, maneuver people out of the ditch, build chicken houses, and a goat farm and ALL your other skills Is Never Stupid, or Dumb, NEVER, You Are Spectacular
Wow! Well, some of that was nail-biting. Grats on having a real heat source, but my comment this time is really to congratulate Allie on her music choices for your videos (at least, I assume it's Allie because she does so much of the editing). They're excellent, they enhance some of your soaring panoramic drone shots, and underscore the mood of the moment and set the tone perfectly. It's something I've admired for many months now, but have never taken the time to mention. The editorial quality of your work has been significantly elevated over the past couple of years, and even when I enjoyed your earliest build videos, I now happily wait for Mondays and Fridays simply to enjoy your life's journey. Thanks!
Allies smile always brightens my day
@Dr. Michael Johnson Jr wow! Having a bad day are we?
Homeopathy lady here! AGAIN! After watching the hubby recover from a bike injury 3 weeks ago today... found unconscious concussed day in hospital fractured cheek brain bleed... Again I recommend you learn the art of H! Today you absolutely cannot tell he was so injured! I am a bit advanced but simple broken bones are EASY, pain issues EASY! Follow up Drs thought we were joking until they saw the pictures, hospital report and did Xrays. 3 weeks and just a tad of the whiplash still healing oh yeah, he is 72 yrs young!
Also a compression work you can do... wrap hands around injury and squeeze gently for a minute then release and gently stroke finger tips towards the shoulder... a few times each session a few times a day... Hopefully you will bounce back very quickly Trent.
Hey Tent! To get snow off your roof, take a 2x4 (however long you can manage) and drill a hole dead center according to length. Pull a long rope through the hole. Make a knot so it won't come out. Throw the board like a newspaper on top of the roof. Go stand by the door and pull the rope. The board will cause an avalanche. Repeat if necessary. Cheers.
I truly wait impatiently for Fridays & Mondays! I love “coming along” with the two of you💕 you make my heart FULL of hope & love for the future & dreams for young couples like yourself. Keep building & keep living your BEST lives ever! ❤️❤️❤️
I am a bit concerned about this wiring. Fire safety is no joke. Our friends just lost their home to fire due to wiring. Please have someone come in that is a professional. Love your videos and you are coming along great.
Once upon a time, watched you to enjoy your van adventures. Now, staying to follow your warm relationship and unflappable spirit. 327K and growing subscribers cannot be wrong! 😄
All the best to continue!!!
Pine cones make starting fires real easy if you have pine trees on your property.
Also, buy a cast iron tea pot to fill with water and heat on your stove to keep some moisture in the air.
Please turn down the background music. It gets really loud and I have to keep adjusting the volume.
Good job! I know you two get more motivated and excited the closer to the finish line you get. In the mean time 'real WINTER' comes before the thaw.
You don’t know me but I have been watching you two from the beginning of this house! So happy for you doing what most say impossible and it’s working! Plus I did tear up for you Trent on the first fire! Well done.
You guys are doing the best you can and in the words of Trent “it could be better it could be worse but I’m happy with it” is all that matters if you feel that together
Before you insulate outside walls, make sure there isn't any moisture or you will have tons of mildew.
Also... get copies of the house plans with studs and joists and draw to scale every system. Pictures are nice but being able to put a tape measure on a sheet rocked surface and know exactly what is behind it is really handy. We call these "As Built" drawings.
Better yet take pictures, then write down measurements
Lay your tape out and include it in the photos then you can be really confident when you cover everything.
Yes we wrote the measurements on studs and walls. Made a photo album. Here 15 yrs later it has been great. We also keep all paper work and warranty in it.
So glad one more project is done! Heat is always amazing in a cold climate, super happy for you! Plumbing is nearing completion so, Progress!!! 👏😁❤️👍
Nothing like a woodstove. We've had one for 41 yrs and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
“It’s all Trent!” You’re making so much progress and love your attitude that it’s all a learning experience!
Yay, a new video!! I love this intro. I’ve binge watched you guys the past month.

"Get down, Trent."- Just as well Allie is there to keep Trent in check! Think how tough doing the top of the roof outside would have been without rock-climbing experience.
Did trent do rock climbing
@@dawnegan3984 He has in the past. He is not climbing here, but it comes in handy to know how to set protection and use the gear as well as be confident to trust the gear.
@@divekatdreaming thanks for help
It would’ve been easier and faster if he had used kickers (pieces of 2X4’s or bigger) it’s kinda like a flat ladder
We had a fireplace like that and I had a teakettle I put on top. You can also cook things on top too. Close off your basement door to keep your heat in the house. Only complaint I have is that your videos go so fast and I want more lol. House is really coming together, congrats!!
You don't need no stinkin Plumber !
Your doin fine. Live and learn. Love you guys. From Washington State USA
I agree unfortunately Trent and Allies videos do end but I am always excited for Monday and Friday mornings😘.
I did want to mention that down comforters are a must in very cold weather and worth considering.
That’s a great video keep them coming because the struggle is real and y’all take us away from it thank you
Ive built several house's, hope you go with a professional on electrical, too many things can go wrong. Love the wood stove!
Dear Trent just remember when you start your wiring the white wire always goes on the silver screw black to copper ground to green.
Hire a professional electrician and be his gofer. Watch and learn.
I heat with with wood too and just today received my stove top fan. It only took a few seconds and it started WORKING. I'm happy.
SO glad you finished that fireplace! Can’t wait for you to be warm!! ☺️ 🔥
Wait, so you bought a laser gadget to check the stove temperature, but you don't want to buy a right angle drill that will be useful for plumbing, electrical, and continue to be useful for many other projects? Haha! Love you guys, hope you're wrist is okay Trent!
I assume the general problem is - think about in the shop. Later in the house they have to improvise. They never told us what's the distance. I assume, that's at least an hour.
Nothing like being pennywise and pound foolish. I mean it’s not like you won’t use it for the electrical work and they are also very nice to have when doing cabinet installs. But hey what do I know because I’m not a UA-cam star.
@@roberttangen2942 a right angle drill is more than $100. an infrared thermometer is like $20. And they come in a lot more handy than you would think.
@@DeterminedDIYer this comment is what I was going to say! I've seen them at $15. I'm sure he also may not realize what else he will need the drill for. I'd personally want to know how hot the fire is though!
laser was prob 20-25$. right angle is what 250+? but i do agree he needs a right angle drill
“Please don’t drip in my mouuuth”. 😂 My heart is so happy for you both. The drone footage is magnificent. 💕
Good morning Trent and Allie and frank, cabin coming along great hope y’all have a wounderful blessed day and weekend
What will really make it warm inside is...yeah, insulation! Looking great, love your woodstove...it draws so well!
Trent, re: plumbing. This is what I know: I hate doing plumbing. Always have. The new stuff is easier than the old, and the old stuff for repairs drives me nuts. Love your work ethic/results. You guys are doing great.
