Thank you for sharing the process.

I have family back home in the field of construction however I was never introduce to the family trade so please I apologize if I sound stupid. I have a question about using corrugated steel as the subfloor to hold the concrete floor. I notices you put a wire mesh on the floor before putting the concrete. Those the wire mesh act like a rebar to hold the concrete? Thank you Kindly

The problem with Borax to preserve wood is , it washes away if the wood gets wet. Some people place chunks of borax into holes in wood and plug them , if the wood stays dry the borax does not enter the wood and does no good if the wood gets wet it washes away. Borax is not very useful for serious wood preservation unless the wood stays dry. It can be helpful if the wood gets damp only like a Rim joist on a house.

Does this Borax cleaning method work if the wood is more textured vs smooth as shown in the video?

Thank you for this video! I've been trying to find a sprayer that won't clog with a Borax solution to no avail. Could you please tell me what type of brush that is you're using? Just a regular paint brush? Need to treat a cabinet I received that has powderpost beetles! Thanks in advance:)

Where in mexico is this?

I heard this does not work as it doesn't get absorb. However, if you want to treat termiteb you have to use Bora Care.

This was one of the best I have seen that was a real deal dude, so proud of you stranger

Would you stain the raw wood first then treat with borax or vice versa? Thank you!

I live in Nicaragua so we may have similar issues with termites that are almost comando level termites 😂 If I milled my own lumber from local trees would you recommend this treatment or a soaking bath for the lumber to later set for drying. Thanks

have you considered using sodium hydroxide to heat the water on site

Ooooooo Borax does not give you wood...

Hi sir thankyou very much

Thank you. Short clear and pragmatic.

What is the size of that beam?

Tienes para construir bardas pero no ay dinero para comprarles unos lentes para protejer sus ojos Que buen patron!!

People don't believe me and call me a liar when I tell them this was how we got the heavy double H block up to the mason.

I found this and my husband is thrilled to find a solution to protecting his woodwork . Thought the video was very informative . regards Eileen

where in Mexico??

did the tiles got nailed onto the roof deck at all? How does it withstand strong wind if it is not nailed down?

The amount of gov misinformation about borax is criminal. Soils NEED boron which is in borax. The lack of this essential mineral is the main cause of 70% of western women having arthritis and other bone related issues. Borax strengthens bones, whereas fluoride destroys bone from the inside out.

What species of wood is he working? He could get work doing timber framing.

Thanks for sharing. I really don't know why Concrete work in America is so overpriced. Born and raised in Mexico, I know concrete contractors make so much money in America by overpricing their work. The same goes for any type of construction work.

Esos maisrros son pareja!!!👬👬

Good Job bro,

What is the cost of building with those steel beams compared to other methods? Planning to build a house with open spaces a great room and double ceiling and avoid having too many columns at those spaces

Thank you for the video! I would be curios how much would this cost in Mexico! Good luck with your project!

I would like to treat an old house floor joist and all underneath . I guess it wouldnt go well with a pump sprayer , or are there any other easy application methods ?

I believe the borax only goes into "suspension' and not solution in water - thus the white powder residue. The water goes into the wood but the borax drops out on the surface. To get the borax to penetrate into the wood you would a propylene or glycol solution - like boracare.

Borax, if it's pure, isn't that toxic. Salt is more toxic. I used to drink a little in water as a boron supplement. It's also good for putting under apple trees if they're deficient in boron.

it only applies in the cities building permits outside the citis no permits at all

Why not mild steel instead of wood..?

Wow, T... Yes! Another work of art... Another MASTERPIECE... 🙏 Lady Anne 🙏

What about mixing borax w glycol (antifreeze) and boric acid. Trying to deal with fungus / rot

nice job, where are u guys located?

are you going to make your roof this way as well? Im thinking of building my house like this in dominican republic

Hi how was the beam fasten on top of the walls? Were they welded on the plates only? Im doing a similar project.

Bim- thank you! that is insane ~

Very good work! Such fast progress! 🚀 Busy binge watching all these “old” videos. Can’t _wait_ to see the finished house. 🏡🤞🏼

Super insightful as always. 👌

I found your video due to already having wood rot on the porch and facade of a 130 year old house we are living in. I got an old wooden screen door from the Preservation Station in town, since the front door here is huge. I’m trying to restore the salvaged screen door, and discovered it has a hint of wood rot, too. I saw elsewhere that a combination of borax and glycol can treat wood rot. I didn’t have glycol, just the borax. But I had hand sanitizer, and thought fungus wouldn’t like that stuff, so I mixed the hand sanitizer with the borax and I’m letting it dry. And plan to paint the door tomorrow. It was after I made this concoction that I saw your careful method of using Borax - which I’ll follow on future projects. I like that it deters mold, too, so I’m guessing it might be a good solution to apply to insulation. Thanks for demonstrating the method so clearly.

Awesome tips! Thanks so much for the content.

Do if the wood has wet rotted? Do I remove the damage area than apply boric acid mixture?

Very nice job. I am looking to do one very similar. What is the lift in feet you are placing on the pump you used? I am wanting to do a 9000gph pump and doing a lift of about 21 feet with 2 , 45 degree bends. Thank you!

Should've kept them and gave them to a rehab center if possible. Those are lone babies and likely died :-( They also make a cute pet but are very short lived.

It seems easy, but it isn’t!!! 😎

Oh, wow! Great video, very useful! Much appreciated! Can I ask... Can you use this on, say, unpainted wooden doors and windows that are already in place? Can you paint the wood afterwards? How long does its protection last? Many thanks.
