Very nice sawmill cover. Best one I've seen

File this under “I wish I had known this before” or “I wish I had thought of this before”. From 03:46 onward, if you had set your ledger-boards at least three or four meters outside the perimeter of your building outline you could have avoided the multiple squaring and re-squaring of your lines. Because then the ledger-boards would not have been disturbed by the digging of the foundations, the dirt-work, the grading, the concrete pouring, etc.

Moved to Montana from California for same reason. No building permits. No building inspections. I’ve found the trades want to build correctly but no big brother

I am wondering if on that last row of foam board, instead of cutting longitudinal and having to waste 45% of each board, how about you would have cut transversely? You would have had a few extra seams to tape. But you quite possibly could have avoided the long drive to get one single foam board from the store. That would have saved not only the expense of that extra foam board but also the cost of fuel, tires, lubrication and maintenance for that extra trip to the store in town. Edit to add: There is a farmer's wisdom in German: “He who does not appreciate the penny, is not worth to receive the dollar.” I also noticed that your old-timer Chevrolet truck seems to lack seat belts, or at least it lacks the shoulder belt. That vehicle might be grandfathered in without seat belts due to when it was manufactured. The first car I got back in 1990, a model 1975 hard top, had no seat belts. Even back then I felt very insecure driving over 500 km before I could get seat belts retrofitted. And ever since I was hit by another car from the side and driven into a power column, without any injury to myself thanks to the three-point seat belt safety harness, I am a strong believer in the use of seat belts.

Beautiful drone shot! My favorite 🌲

Nice last shot of the structure. So pretty!

So close, so exciting! 🎉

Eeewww, snake! 😂

The trees were definitely blowing in the background the next day. How does the lift stand up to that? Does it feel pretty shaky?

So glad no serious damage was done in the storm!

need some exel under those ceader girts . love this build looks awesome

It’s amazing on how much detail you put in to make it right. I really enjoy your work, thought and determination to make your home substantial.

What's the R value on those SIPs? Look very thick!

Excellent! I didn't know you were planning to use SIPs. I've only seen them on one other channel... Tony's Tractor Adventure Homestead (or something or other), and they built a small cabin on piers in the woods. I can imagine the benefits you'd get from building with this material... and I''ve been wanting to see someone use them who is building more than just a box. This is going to be fun. Thanks for sharing this mega project with us.

Howdy y’all- I know the aggravation of putting the boards down and dealing with the brackets. When y’all start putting up the sheets the house will have a bigger feel to it. Looking forward to seeing that take place. Take care out there. God bless

Lots of work, but later you will be able to sit back admire your work 😉.

Why didn’t u just put a sill plate down all the way around first then build off of that and bypass all those brackets ?

Where are you located?

Hello ODW.. Thanks for the update video. We appreciate your efforts of sharing your skills and hard work. Keep inspiring

Great attention to detail sir. Wonderful crew and teamwork. Yeah, it's time for mother nature to start watering her garden and showing us where the vulnerable trees are. Stay focused and on track. No short cuts and stay safe and healthy. You are just around a short corner from a fantastic milestone. Beautiful home.

Boring!

Love your videos. If I were younger I would love to do what you’re doing. You probably said on an earlier video but I missed it. Can you say why you switched from the barn being a barn and building your house later?

You are making great progress. I like how you keep a clean worksite. Thanks for sharing

and yet another video with audio issues. you might want to work on that.

Audio great at beginning, terrible 6 minutes in when talking about tar on boards then gets good again!

Glad that storm didn't cause too much damage. Still making Progress....... 😊

Thy could you not drill the p precise hole in the precise area at the right depth instead of using an excavator

geile mucke:)

I like it,beautiful work cowboy🙏💕

What are we seeing? Description would be helpful.

More milling less awful music,I m interested in the wood not the noise

That cedar sure is pretty wood. Great work.

also came over from Martin - Johnson Off Grid.

Excited to see what’s to come! 😊

Exciting delivery!

Nice to see Beth on the other side of the camera💜

One day at a time, one moment at time. Keep up the great work! 😊

Love the view from the top!

I'll bet there is a squirrel that took those nuts that you were missing!! Just look for one that is wearing a tool belt!! You are making good progress, but "Winter is Coming" Thanks for the video

I love seeing the whole process, but if I had to choose, I’d say the build. It’s exciting to see the lumber become functional and turn into your dream! 🌲

Satisfying sawdust scrape😂 I can imagine how amazing it smells!

Such a cool history with that log!

Beautiful

Do any homeowners or so called carpenters own pneumatic guns that shot/install sprial shank nails. FYI, SCREWS DO NOT HAVE HIGH TENSILE STRENGHT . Screws snap easily when downward pressure is applied, nails do not. Nails are installed 100 x faster then screws.

Glad I found this after watching the build. I built my own home 4 years ago, and appreciate all the steps and effort to build a home as your own contractor. It is one and done, and never do it again project. It will take everything you can in time, effort and finances to build. Once you start there is a never turn pack point. The final build will be worth the effort and time.

Why did you not just build 2x4 or 2x6 exterior walls? This would have allowed you to insulate with a high R value and run wiring using conventional means, plus much faster. Will the inside be sheet rock or wood plank?

Looking good looking forward to the roof👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

God bless you and hope you successfully reach your goal.

The hurricane straps were possibly not needed to meet code, but I would have done exactly the same. In my opinion one should never underdo the overkill, especially when building something you or your family have to live in.
