  • In this episode of the Modest House Build, we start building the barndo walls! It is always my favorite part of all projects when we are able to take a pile of raw materials and build something that by the end of that day starts to look like something.

    To think I was rooting for you guys years ago for 200k subscribers and now we’re rooting for 2 million. Reminds me of the one million subscriber video you guys did live, that was a riot! Man, time flies. Good on you, keep it going, loving the production you’re putting out now!

    I like the banter between you and Greg. I miss that after being retired from the trades. I had a great run of 35 years as a Journeyman electrician. Keep up the great work. I really liked the segment where you had the plumber install the hydronic heating for your last project. Other contractors you brought to the site to help finish ie Rollup doors and perform air testing were great.

    Spending the extra time to get the top of the post all the same height saves much, much more time later on. It's the 'foundation' for the structure after the concrete work.

  • @andrewcarr2431
    @andrewcarr2431 8 днів тому

    Big advantage Post Frame has is the large expansion for rooms. Vs traditional beams (LVL or steel) to spanning areas to open up the locations. as well as headers, etc where you need to beef up the wall framing for an opening. As all the weight is on the exterior posts, everything inside the wall is simply mounting.

    Kyle- Take Greg’s advice to use fasteners when installing your insulation board on the outside of your foundation walls next time. Take a look @ 43:36. You ended up having a pretty large gap between the insulation board and the concrete. Your thought was that the backfill would hold the insulation board against the concrete but my guess is that stone had fallen down between the concrete and insulation board when you were placing and grading the stone on the interior area of the house. Placing fasteners only at the top of the insulation board would keep your time and cost to a minimum but would result in obtaining better insulating performance. The whole idea of this project is to have an energy efficient house right?

    If you attached a 1-2ft 2x4 or even 2x6 to the outside of those beams, it should stop them from falling out of the brackets when lifting. You know everything so maybe not worth the extra time vs just moving them back onto the brackets tho.

    That laser elevation surveying set-up sure makes it quicker & easier than when I surveyed as a college co-op student in the early 1960s. Yeah - I’m that old, retired but still love to watch construction, machine shop and drag racing content.
    Question on the elevation pole or range pole - whatever it’s called these days: I notice that you do not rock the pole when you’re getting an elevation at each bracket. When we surveyed manually, we rocked the pole and the instrument man read & recorded (manually in the log book) the lowest number. That eliminated erroneous readings due to the pole being held off vertical. Does your system have a level on the pole that you hold plumb? Or maybe something built into the system that signals amount off plumb and the laser system corrects the reading with some trigonometry calculation inside the black box?
    We got two quarters of surveying in school, but being Mechanical Engineering students we never figured on needing it. First co-op job was - surprise! - surveying. Should have paid better attention to elevation surveying lesson, but our survey sight in West Philadelphia was bordered by the street Wilt Chamberlain’s mother lived on. Our levels and transits spent more time aimed toward her home hoping to catch Wilt pull up for a visit in his ‘59 Caddy convertible than working the surveying assignment of the day.
    We saw him once.

    • @psidvicious
      @psidvicious 12 днів тому

      A lot of the rods have a plumb indicator level but I think they mainly use the technique of balancing the rod to the point where it tries to stand on it’s own for a second or two before tilting in one direction or the other. It’s just something you develop a feel for over time.
