I am with Eli and McKenzie. I can’t wait for this house to be built either.😂 I think I am as excited as they are. You have the world’s greatest helpers! By the time your house is complete everyone in your family will be master carpenters and builders. Happy to see all of your progress. Blessings to your family.❤
It always brings joy to my heart to see your kids working alongside of you.
What an amazing job! Each week your family gets one step closer to making your dreams come true! Such a hard working family!!
I cannot believe how quickly this house is going up. You guys are absolutely killing it!!!
Jacob you and your wife are so humble. First of all you are in a very small club of folks that have built your own house from scratch. Bottom to top. Well done guys, I will give you major props for the great work you’ve done. Your children are learning positive skills sets. The are learning the value in doing great work. They are also learning the value of Family. You guys Rock.
You guys are all brave. No matter what conditions you make it work, strive for the finish in each project , and are truly blessed. It won't be too long before the framing goes up. Can't wait!
WOW !!! Big move forward!!
Again, wonderful watching your kids getting into the build too. Looking good. I am looking forward to the next step.
I’m so happy to see the concrete being poured. Now the house will arise. God bless you with many happy memories health and blessings
You and Natalie have done a beautiful job on the house. It looks fantastic. 😊
Keep up the good work🥰😍👍👍👍👍🫶🫶🫶🫶
You're doing a awesome job
Great job guys ❤❤❤
I, for one, have confidence in your confidence!! 🥰🙏🏻❤️💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Make sure when you pour the concrete that none of the rebar is touching the pex pipe it will cause a hole in that pipe. It looks like you know that though. Yall are doing an amazing job raising such good, well mannered, hard working kids. Good job lounging keep up the hard work!!!
Outstanding progress! Love the help your kids are giving with the build. All the best with the slab pour. Take care & stay safe!
Yes no leaks.
Fantastic progress. Well done. CONCRETE DAY!!!!
Woohoo! 🎉 great job. Fun to see everyone pitching in as usual
Don't forget to take pictures and measurements of the heating pipes. This is in case you have to drill into the floor later. Better safe than sorry later.
Yep.. Exactly what I mentioned in my comment to them.
❤great progress. Concrete ready. That will be a big day - concrete pouring and working for the whole slab. Wow in advance 😮🙏🙂
We’ll be there - mistakes or not. Actually, the mistakes are a great learning experience for your viewers as well as yourselves!🇨🇦😍
Looking good very excited for you
When the kids go back to school and the teacher asks"what did you do this summer ?" Helped build a house !
Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing
Great job awesome video THANKS
Wow! You folks are moving right along with the heating, forms and rebar completed. Good for you. Blessings to you all.
Hello family, your children are collaborators and are always ready to help with the construction and always with great joy, they are really loved, blessed family. Kisses and hugs from Portugal 🫶🇵🇹🙏❤❤
Woo Hoo, I'm ready for the concrete. How exciting!! Love the little helpers.
🙂UA-cam recommends this video to me, for 30 years I have always seen radiant floors made with a spiral spiral then from the center you go back, with a maximum of 3.5-4 inches of space between the return and return pipes, even less, leaving space on the perimeter of the rooms, will probably have to operate at a slightly higher temperature, now the trend has changed using air-water heat pumps, the cement is poured with a specific additive and of a smaller thickness, in order to limit the thermal accumulation mass and make it work the inverter heat pump in a more responsive and efficient way, different story if fossil fuels are used.
Great work. Look forward to seeing how your pad pour goes. Have a great week.
Great family time on your home 🏡
Nice drone flying skillz.. makes for a great opener.. I have some good news. I just bought some land in Kingman. Not sure how soon i'll relocate there. It needs some tractor work and leveling out a bit then depending on price.. a concrete pad to park on. I'll be installing a metal carport for sun and rain protection. Nice PEX work. might have to install some more solar to support keeping them heated floors working. LOVE the kids helping. learning how to help and build a house. You should mark where every joint\coupler is IF any troubles arise. Did you ever think you'd be build a house powered by the Sun...? Pretty incredible to ponder. Use some cardboard strips for the gaps. That was some cool editing.. pounding the rebar pieces in.. LOL.. the shadow of the backhoe creeping in. take care..
there is a step of putting down what best describe as egg cartons based that you just press the pex into and is held in place eliminate the staples that could eventually cause a hole to form in the pex and support rebar from setting on pex
easy y put down and speeds up the layout of pex
I wouldn't call it a mistake. I would call it an obstacle that you overcame. And very nicely I might add.
Love seeing the kids help. 🤠
Then walls then roofs then HOME...
Read the instructions book
Hugs for Eli & McKenzie , great helpers got lots done on this video Regards from Calgary Canada
For sure.. but there's one missing..
Tip. Before concreet fill the underfloor heating with water. It will help you to prevent that the lines collapse. Looking good so far
Are you speaking from experience..? lol..
So much progress. That little boy is going to be a real construction leader.
By the way....how many bedrooms and bathrooms? One story or two? I can't remember, I'm getting older. Thanks for a great visit.
4 bedroom 3 bathroom 2 story. Thanks 🙂
My "daddy" heart just warmed all over watching Ely and his cohort pitch in to help in any way they could. Nice work on the iron grid work and the forms for the concrete----holy cow, but y'all are some serious workers! Thanks for bringing us along----what a journey!
If you turn your kitchen heat off completely you may end up with frozen pipes in the winter.
You guys are great. Love seeing your channel. Makes me feel warm and cozy inside. Talking about warm and cozy I wanted to reflect on another favorite channel of mine but I won't plug any other channel on your site, but anyhow, they built a 2800 sq ft pole barn with a concrete poured floor that they installed the radiant heat into, yes including the foam insulation underneath. The point I am working on getting to, is that even through they went through the installation, they never use it. Why? Because they religiously stuff their decent sized woodstove once in the morning, and once at night, and the whole building is warm. So, they so far haven't even installed the burner for the radiant floor heat. They did insulate all of the walls etc. as well. So as a tip, be sure to include a woodstove. It also makes for a good alternative in the event of a power failure etc. Maybe you are planning on a backup power supply or your current setup is ample as it is.
Love it. We'll definitely have another heating source as a backup or extra. Thanks 🙂
you need 60 psi on all water lines with a gauge that is double the pressure (100 psi is gauge acceptable)
Wow. Cool. Great job.
the rebar extending above the form boards will present a pain when smoothing the concrete level with the boards..........g
We got them down. Thanks 🙂
great daddy and daughter time!!!, good to see the work on explanation, Nat is awesome! PEX is cool! great design for the heating...its always a creative change...I think so too!!! found the leak!! wahoo..the family that works together creates a unique bond..its all a learning planning process...1st time home builder, cant wait to see the next one.....the new camera is great...we're watching you...thanks for sharing
Looking so good, so proud of you guys and happy for you all.
Was in the area for a few days. No greening from previous rain and the rain Friday night wasn't much. Bathroom warmer, bedrooms colder. I like to be cold when sleeping.
AS ALWAYS YOUR workmanship is awesome. Don't sweat the small stuff small adjustment is okay
Work"woman"ship those girls/women did great helping
Nice job, nice dragonflie! Have a great week Friends!
Did you know that in-floor people should not get too close to the toilet because it can melt the wax ring seal on the toilet? (Pex not people!)
Yes. We kept it a foot away from the toilets. Thanks 🙂
Nice job. Just like the sewage treatment plant I worked on in colorado. 1 inch rebar 2 course thick staggered in 2 foot thick walls for a sewage treatment plant. Total over built.
Will the house face the direction of the workshop?😍😜
Not quite. The workshop is planned to be a ways off from the house. But that could always change. 😁
Looking good! Can't wait to see the pour.
Good Morning. It’s great to see the whole family working on building the new home. Very inspiring! Thank you for including us on your journey. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🫡
It may just be an optical illusion due to camera angle but as you were installing the forms, some of your anchor bolts appeared to be a little short.
Yes, there are some that are a little short and will have to be replaced. 🫠
On the plumbers tape and putty you only use one or the other not both too much can cause a leak or Crack pvc if it is being used.
Tape then dope, is how every good plumber I've seen has done it on job sites. Nice job!
I’m assuming you know where the walls will be, in relation to the pex. It will be a really bummer of a day if the fastener for the wall baseplate punctured the pex
Lotsa work!!!
You guys are crushing it as usual!! ❤😅
Unique approach but it gets the job done
Those rebar look like they will impale someone.
👍
Exciting stage with the build. I hope you are hiring helpers with the slab pour. Not that you can't do it, but it is so huge!
We've got lots of help coming. Thanks 🙂
When you cut the rings off that the cutter is set correctly. I replaced a water heater and someone cut into the rings. But still did not leak. If I remember right plastic fittings is different from brass.
👍👍👍👍👍
Good morning how are you guys doing today what's the next project for today look like everything is coming together keep up the good work and one step at a time you guys❤
Wow, good job! A lot done, so nice seeing the family all involved. Hope next weeks video is CONCRETE!
Looks great..You will have a beautifull home one of these months, maybe next year at this time? QUESTION..Do all Your kids go to public school or do You home school them? It seems to Me that You live kinda long ways from some school bus stops...also..garden this year? Maybe next year I am thinking..Your chickens are getting big..bet eggs by fall...ok..enjoy Your channel..
They go to public school and the bus stop is far. The garden will have yo wait till next year. We don't have our well yet, but we are scheduled to get it soon. Can't wait for some eggs 🥚 🥚🥚 this fall. Thanks 🙂
Awesome work, all the family. Ready for concrete now and then the walls it seems to be progressing really well🎉🎉🎉🎉
🙋♀️👍
You probably won't see this before the concrete... but when I've seen these systems installed, there is generally a batter-board like structure erected and some long sweep pvc-type elbows are used to make the transition from the floor to where your manifold is going to be. The guy I've seen do this most often is MR Post Frame... He's got a good system... and it might be helpful to give that a gander. Great to see progress.... that's for sure. Thanks for sharing this journey with us. .... oh... okay - I'm seeing the system you came up with now... sort of. Looks like you've got a batter-board type of mount... but... well - check out MR Post Frame ... it could be helpful.
Thought the rebar needed to go in first.
Radiant tubing can be installed on top of the rebar or below. We chose below to make it a little less worrisome when we go to saw cut the floor. Thanks 🙂
You doing a good job learn well
🏘🎆👍
👍👍
Image quality of your new camera is really good.
Цікаво яка буде товщина залізобетонної плити? Якщо товщина від 100мм до 200мм то я б трубу підігріву розмістив після робочої арматури, це для того щоб був швидший прогрів бетону. А так Ви все робити розумно. Наснаги Вам і Божого Благословіння. (Україна)
Just nana here kids should have helmets on atv
This Nana agrees!🇨🇦😍
Don
Zero leeks
?. No vapor barrier
No, we are in a drier climate, and a vapor barrier would do more harm than good. Thanks 🙂
Where are you guys getting all the money for all of this.
We've always lived a frugal lifestyle. On top of that we sold our old house.
That rainbow was beautiful! The in floor heating will be great! You Guys will have an amazing home when you're through!
👍👍👍
