Would appreciate any tips on sourcing the Rockwool insulation. I finished framing my basement last June and then had to wait several months before any electricians would take on "small jobs" like our basement but finally got that done this past winter. Since then, its been a struggle with finding mineral wool locally. Our ceilings trusses are 24" on center while the interior walls are 16" on center. It looks like 16" Safe and Sound is order-able whereas the 24" mineral wool seems to be really hard to find since April. I have stopped by our local Lowe's, Home Depot and Menards Pro desks. Any input would be appreciated. Frustrating to say the least that a basement finish project takes this long.
LOVE watching the progress on this house. So cool. And your vids are not "over-production-ized" like a typical TV show. This series should be up for an award.
It's an irrelevant now, but a suggestion for other people. Instead of running data cables, we ran flexible plastic conduit to low voltage brackets. I spent a lot of time in a crawl space helping my dad run CAT5 in their house, and I would much rather run whatever comes next via messenger lines in conduit than try to retrofit through insulation with a fish wire.
To add on to this, if at all possible pull a "pull string" along with the wire. If ever you need to replace a broken wire or add an additional wire, the pull string comes in handy.
for the outlet box at 4:17, you sealed the perimeter but anywhere you see light through is just as much of an air leak. My advice would be to add outlet putty pads or to foam the entire outlet box, which you can do with the cans. One more thing...good idea to use fire-rated foam on electrical because some foam is combustible. Most fire-rated foam is tinted red or orange. Source: I run an insulation company. Also, the best way to make sealing these idiot proof is to make a little cardboard box around them then fill the box with foam.
Definitely a good idea to have a pro mud and tape the job. Hanging drywall isn't hard but you have to be aware of how you make work for the mud and tape process. It's actually always a tradeoff, between creating a better finish result, and how much time it takes. An efficient drywaller will be able to get a "90%" finish without having to work "too hard" but you always have time to do it right the second time! The mistake I saw you guys make was to start your walls from the floor. You had it backwards, you need to start with the first sheet tight to the ceiling.
This may be the best series on UA-cam. You're super detailed and very good at explaining things. You did a great job sealing the house with caulk, zip tape, insulation, etc. Are you at all worried about the house being to sealed and not being able to breathe and it creating humidity/condensation? I know it wont be an issue in summer when the ACs are running to pull it out but what about winter? Also, wont over sizing the ACs mean they wont run long enough to pull out all the humidity?
I note you said "couple coats of primer" at the end. I wasn't aware that one would need more than one. Why did you need more than one, or is this common practice?
I mostly just look for folks with good reviews and some availability. I used this same insulation installer company when I did my shop build series a few years back and they did a great job then so I used them again.
Unless those nails are made of a metal that doesn't rust, your metal bead edges will have some nice rust spots bleed through in a few years ... If France, we're not allowed to nail the bead into place, you just run some mud under it and set it in the same time you cover it.
@@craftedworkshop Oh sorry, I had to know that the US has way more different regulations and building codes. In Central, Eastern and Northern Europe, we have to use vapour barriers and recuperation systems even in lower energy class framed buildings to fulfil airtightness regulations. And in some EU countries, we have to design A++ energy class houses from 2021 to save energy. It is pain in the a$$ to build it but these houses are cheap to heat during winter. Good luck with your build!
im sure you’ve heard this by now but if the driver for your accent led goes bad its going to be a pain to change. i always prefer to put those in a cabinet or somewhere accessible
2.01 are you able to access this connection via the access panel? Because hiding connections in the walls are an absolute no no. Even if they are low-voltage
We used ½" throughout, although ⅝" on the ceiling probably would have been a good idea. The areas we had were so small that I'm not really concerned about it.
@@craftedworkshop ya , those foundations settle alot in the first couple of years with all the expansion and contraction of the wood and heaving of the piers in winter frost. Probably less dramatic in Tennessee
Having watched all of this series, my only critique is... WHY GET ME HOOKED THE MAKE ME WAIT A WEEK FOR MORE... You're the drug dealer of awesome content...
I see this a lot so there's probably a reason. Why do so many people contract out the insulation process. It's so easy as far as batts in the Walls and rafters? Obviously spray foam is going to get contracted out due to the equipment needed. Anyone?
I find insulation work miserable. It’s itchy, messy, and absolutely zero fun. These guys knocked out the Rockwool install in a day and a half for $500. It would have easily taken Eddie and I twice that amount of time and would have cost me close to the same amount paying for Eddie’s time. Felt like a no brainer to have it done professionally and be able to work on other stuff while they were working.
Nah. I watched because the title said insulation and drywalling. Half the video was lights. The drywall and insulation was contracted out and gave little helpful tips. He did carry the bats from the curb to inside, so I'll give him that.

Justin really is an artist. He also cares! Be kind to one another. Stay safe. Love to all

Thanks a lot!
Justin is LEGIT as hell. Dude's an artist.
For sure, he's a pro for sure!

@@prestonlane6253 Aka a messenger line, but I guess that isn't a common term. Thanks for clarifying.
Good tips for sure!
Always love a “Not so tiny house” build video
Thanks!
Your channel and the perkins brothers are my favorite DIY & construction Videos. Good job on this series!
I wish I had a Justin in my life. That dude's work is amazing!
Justin did a badass job.
He sure did!
Watching that drywall technique is soo relaxing.😴 Justin is a real pro! The house is looking good!!!
It really is! Thanks mama!

I'm so excited to see the plywood next to that drywall! It's gonna look so good!
Me too, been waiting for what feels like forever! Finishing up the walls is really going to transform the space.
Definitely a good idea to have a pro mud and tape the job. Hanging drywall isn't hard but you have to be aware of how you make work for the mud and tape process. It's actually always a tradeoff, between creating a better finish result, and how much time it takes.

The mistake I saw you guys make was to start your walls from the floor. You had it backwards, you need to start with the first sheet tight to the ceiling.
Or put some scrap plywood on floor to act as a spacer. I like going bottom to top. Harder to hand a top upper sheet with nothing under it for support.
I definitely like working from the floor for drywall, but I should have set my laser a bit higher so the first sheet wasn't as tight to the floor.
at 13:30 the Old Gregg reference made my whole day
I can still see daylight coming through the knockouts of the white electrical box at 4:16 😁
Yea, thankfully the insulation guys did a second pass of spray foam after I had added it and did a better job!
@@craftedworkshop I just commented about that. Glad you got some good insulation guys
Amazing Craftsmanship!
Well done!
i feel like this is the best tiny house iv seen all the other ones don't look that good like yours .
Awesome! Now I can show you how to cut it in half. That’s what I do I cut things in half
Watching Justin mud was quite mesmerising.
Very relaxing, for sure!
So satisfying to watch all that mudding!
For sure, watching someone who knows what they're doing is so enjoyable!
This is art. And very therapeutic.
Agreed!
It’s always good to know your limitations.
For sure!

Final home straight now. Looks great

I note you said "couple coats of primer" at the end. I wasn't aware that one would need more than one. Why did you need more than one, or is this common practice?
I did two coats, mostly because primer is way cheaper than paint and you can get better coverage that way.
Im dreading the end of this series!
Got another series planned, so don’t worry!
Keep up the awesome work man!
Thanks man!
I'm so invested in this series!
Glad you're enjoying it!
Pretty fantastic work there, dude! 😃
It's going to be finished before you see it!
Oh, and kudos to Justin!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks a lot! Definitely getting towards the home stretch!
I watched some youtube videos and really enjoyed it
My friend here Justin is already taken and he's craaacked at drywall my guy.
Hah!
Hi. Can you talk about how you research and select your contractors ? Thanks
I mostly just look for folks with good reviews and some availability. I used this same insulation installer company when I did my shop build series a few years back and they did a great job then so I used them again.
Looking better and better my man 💯👌🏻
Appreciate it!
I love rockwool.
Me too!
Love watching these videos!
Thanks Zac!
Unless those nails are made of a metal that doesn't rust, your metal bead edges will have some nice rust spots bleed through in a few years ...
If France, we're not allowed to nail the bead into place, you just run some mud under it and set it in the same time you cover it.
Drywall specific nails have a coating to prevent this.
Don't forget a vapor barrier membrane!
We don't use vapor barriers in this area typically.
@@craftedworkshop Oh sorry, I had to know that the US has way more different regulations and building codes. In Central, Eastern and Northern Europe, we have to use vapour barriers and recuperation systems even in lower energy class framed buildings to fulfil airtightness regulations.

spoke too soon lol you added an access panel for them
Looks fantastic.
Thanks!
I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.
Thanks Marius!
Looks good
"Super artistic out of level shot" 🤣🤣
😊 glad you liked it.
Could you use rockwool with small 1/4" chicken wire for under side of the house? Serviceable , and cheap? Keeps rodents out.
That drywall mud work looks great. Planning rockwool insulation for my 40x40 post frame house as well. Where did you source the rockwool?
Sneaky little Mighty Boosh reference. Appreciated.
It’s so weird seeing trucks I see on the road every day on a big UA-cam video! Lol #avl
Good work....nice..👍👍👍
Thanks!
I quit using pans in favor of using a mud hawk. Like it WAY better.
Should there be a gap where the drywall intersects the sheeting at the bottom plate?
Yup, the floor bowed up in the middle a bit so it was a little tight there but ideally there'd be a ¼" to ½" gap.
Too cool
I've been binge watching your vlogs earlier and you just uploaded a new one! Thanks a lot!
Nice, great timing!
2.01 are you able to access this connection via the access panel? Because hiding connections in the walls are an absolute no no. Even if they are low-voltage
Yes, that’s why I added the access panel.
Nice man good works
Thanks!
very helpful
Glad to hear that!
Do you have a link to the drywall tools you used to attach the drywall? The set, the roto-zip and drill gun?
It is in the description under "Tools Used"
They're all in the video description!
Finally!
I know! Next one won't take as long, hah!
I like the subtle "Old Greg" reference lmfao
Hah, glad someone got that!
@@craftedworkshop Big fan haha. Thanks for the laugh AND the video! I usually stop whatever I'm doing when you post.
lets see the finished product dude
Awesome video. I think you must wear your fsm shirt as much as I wear mine. Haha
Thanks! And yea, it's just about my favorite shirt for working. It's long enough so I can bend over and I'm not showing my crack to the camera 😂
Got a question for the insulation inspection did an inspector went or you just had to give a letter to the city about the insulation
An inspector had to come out and check prior to covering any of the exterior walls or ceiling.
@@craftedworkshop ok but on the i insulation inspection does an inspector go out just for the insulation
Why don't you use a film insulation from steam? Inside the house?
You mean a vapor barrier? Didn’t need it in our climate.
1/2 or 5/8 drywall?
We used ½" throughout, although ⅝" on the ceiling probably would have been a good idea. The areas we had were so small that I'm not really concerned about it.
They call that shot angle a Dutch Angle.
Nice, learn something new every day!
Do you have a 3d printer ?
Yup!
@@craftedworkshop can you do more videos on your 3d printer some time .
That pier foundation movement and drywall touching the floor your guns get cracks
Yea I’m going to cut it back about ½” before installing trim. It was only that tight against that one wall, I spaced it more in the other areas.
@@craftedworkshop ya , those foundations settle alot in the first couple of years with all the expansion and contraction of the wood and heaving of the piers in winter frost. Probably less dramatic in Tennessee
Having watched all of this series, my only critique is...
WHY GET ME HOOKED THE MAKE ME WAIT A WEEK FOR MORE...
You're the drug dealer of awesome content...
Hah, thanks! If only the videos could edit themselves! 😂
I see this a lot so there's probably a reason. Why do so many people contract out the insulation process. It's so easy as far as batts in the Walls and rafters? Obviously spray foam is going to get contracted out due to the equipment needed. Anyone?
Maybe because he needs the time to make UA-cam videos.
I find insulation work miserable. It’s itchy, messy, and absolutely zero fun. These guys knocked out the Rockwool install in a day and a half for $500. It would have easily taken Eddie and I twice that amount of time and would have cost me close to the same amount paying for Eddie’s time.

Two pieces buttered
Everyone would agree that his name is Justin
Who doesn't know?
ahhh american electrical installation.
Welcome back in 1972
It works 🤷♂️
Idk that I’d call him a drywall wizard, he’s decent
Watch Vancouver carpenter for good drywall info.
He's way better than me!
Tiny home ...a lot of people would make that their home .... mobile homes not built that good.... 👍
Mmm, creamy. Nice creamy beige. 13:26
Not sure if anyone got the "Old Gregg" reference there!
@@craftedworkshop oh yes...I repeated that part of the video a few times and had a good laugh :D
Try and say "insulation installation" fast
Definitely a tongue twister!
I WAS THE ONE WHO DISLIKED THE VIDEO!!!!
Just because I wanted to feel like a bad guy. Muahahahah
Nah. I watched because the title said insulation and drywalling. Half the video was lights. The drywall and insulation was contracted out and gave little helpful tips. He did carry the bats from the curb to inside, so I'll give him that.
@@danmoyer8191 lol!
Insulation prep is a pretty important part of insulation! I spent like half the video giving drywall tips as well.
Too fast
Great video that tiny house is coming out so nice can’t wait to see it all done
Me neither!
