These type of time-lapse videos are so satisfying to watch! You should do one for every project when the houses are 100% complete as the final video in a build's series!
They could construct a more robust stand for the phone and leave the stand in place for the entire build so they can consistently get the same Timelapse angle every day.
@@GCubedProductions That's also a good idea, but I actually really like the format of this video, a nice mix.
I think 10 minutes is a bit slow guys, should be possible in 9 .......... ;-)

Home builds remind me of where I was just a few years ago, no savings, no IRA, nothing.Thought owning a home was out of reach. But after three years of hard work and smart investing, I grew my savings to $350k and finally bought a home. If I can do it, anyone can. Graham David Fullerton was very helpful in making this dream a reality by investing towards a particular goal.
I went from having no money to invest, to working my butt off with Uber Eats for four months to save around $20k to start working with Graham David Fullerton. Now, I'm sitting at $128k, and I’m absolutely loving the progress, hoping to buy my first home soon. GLAD that you have to bring this up here.
Where do I start? How do I begin investing? I'm hopeless and I don't think I can ever get a home with the current rates. If anyone has advice, please share. Also, how can I get in touch with him?
This is helpful, thanks. I'll reach out to him right away.
I searched for his complete name on the internet and located his page. I sent an email; now, I'm awaiting his response.
Well, the name is 'Graham David Fullerton'. Just research the name. You'd find necessary details to connect.
I can’t believe they built that house in 10 minutes. Truly impressive.
@@ItsJustFrag just a joke mate
@@ItsJustFrag no, they obviously did it in 10mins.
@@ItsJustFrag you’re right. 9 minutes and 39 seconds. My bad.
@@ItsJustFrag yes they did, it literally says right there in the title.
I clicked on this video purely to make this joke. You were faster.
We had a house built this winter. We live in a cyclone prone area (Odisha, India) and hence, we had to get in a 17ft deep foundation. I am quite amazed at how the styles of construction vary from region to region.
Also, our home is made completely out of brick, cement and concrete. Wood was used only in the interiors.
Built to last
The only way homes should be made. To protect and last. No matter which area.
Yours will last theirs won't 👍
Where did all the trash go? India has no epa environmental protection agency. No osha. I work for Indians in the USA. Lots of homes are not as nice as you describe. Nor built to those specs. My friend smitha is back in India now building her home (having it built) and they DO NOT have a foundation that deep 😂 and it’s in south India. Also in the states ground freezes and pipes bust in some areas. Many homes are built raised like this. In the event they have a plumbing issue that requires attention under your home. You don’t have to break your cement slab. This is why they chose to build it this way
@@Monst3r614 Hopefully. 🤞🏻
What a beautiful plywood and duct tape house. I especially love how it takes full advantage of that view with tiny windows placed in a few locations.
In most of Western Europe it is even illegal to build like that, not safe and well built at all.
cant tell if you're trolling or not because you are a complete clown if you're not joking...
Exactly! Americans pay millions for THIS?
Did I see them literally glue the floor down? This thing looks like it's going to collapse under a slight breeze.
@@rkuzmic That just means it's perfectly rated for tornado alley.
If you're the company building houses I mean.
A little landslide can work wonders in getting a house like that realistically re-positioned.
I was just watching the end shots and yes that dug out cliff doesn't look too sturdy
I thought the same, the house looks nice but the security for it is very concerning. Not only that, its between two slides. Uphill and downhill.
Glad I’m not the only one who thought that. This seems like a pricey construction, I hope the owners actually spent the money to get experienced surveyors and geologists to check out if the site is feasible for the lifespan of the house. Otherwise one 1 in a century storm and that cliff side and the house is gone.
@@youcantstopme6181 there’s also a very very thin layer of foliage and trees and what seems like the access road above on top of the hill. I highly doubt that little tree coverage will be able yo stably hold the soil in place, even if they’re a long root species, which seems they are not. As far as I see it a once a century storm is all it takes (they’re far more common now) and the top section collapses into the house which will not stand cause it’s made of solely wood. I hoped at the least the main sections of the building were made with steel beams and a thicker foundation, but North American architecture and construction.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I think it's interesting how the requirements for a sound foundation varies across countries.
Growing up on the East Coast, but working out west, it’s amazing how different the soil is. Everything from density, clay vs sand vs rock and even how much natural electricity is in the soil varies greatly across the planet. It’s amazing.
Didn't look right to me
@@darkesttemplar07 I'm curious why the the foundation was so shallow and how it will deal with frost heave, house seems to be pretty big
I'm not civil engineer but mechanical engineer...
.i have seen the houses from its digging....and that foundation is so shallow ....I'm not sure how strong the soil is but still foundation looks not strong enough
@@ZeusSharpie most mountain side homes have very solid ground to build on, most mountain ranges in the US are comprised of rock, clay and other compacted minerals from what I’ve seen that foundation was actually overkill as most homes in my area in similar conditions have just been built on stilts with concrete anchor points
The builders are all seems to be hard working, harmonious and it looks like every one knows their duty. Wonderful collaboration
Timelapse is great, but the way you've included snippets of real-time makes even better. It's like talking a much needed appreciation breather every so often.
Hey thanks!
@@PerkinsBuilderBrothers Amogus
Nice work guys, really fun to watch. I was also wondering about total time, and also other details like expense, geological, etc.
@@ProfessorBoswell they have a series of a video each day they were building the house, so thats probably the place to go for more detail😊
@@PerkinsBuilderBrothers That’s about the only good thing that can be said about this video. The house is horrendous.
I can't believe that the windows were so small. A view like that should have glass everywhere.
Probably a consideration of the cost of winter heating. The windows are large enough to enjoy the view. And there’s wall space for the interior design.
@@louisemackintosh4204 Can't be. Here in Northern Europe is common to build new houses with large windows. It's quiet cold here, so our walls are twice as thick (10 inches).
@@BirkAxarberi “quiet cold?” Learn your damn grammar.
Probably, that because glass is heavy material and it needs stronger support than a wooden walls. That means whole project needs to be redesigned and house must become much expensive to build.
@@BirkAxarberi and in Europe much common material for building houses is concrete and bricks rather than wood. That's why houses in Europe can be few hundreds years old and still have a nice condition for living.
US have a big developers lobby and they relay on building new houses at constant rate. That's part of the reason why they building prefabricated wooden homes which can be cheap and very fast to build, but do not last very long. So the next generation wants to build a new home from the ground rather than live in old one.
Something about seeing everything in sequence going up so rapidly does amazing things for integrating everything you learned while watching all the previous videos detailing each stage of the process. When watching each of the videos leading up to this I was trying to take in and learn everything you were sharing about the process so I was zoomed in on exactly what you were doing, your thought processes and methods, etc. But just now watching the time lapse I had a flood of memories of everything you were teaching/demonstrating before only it all got knit together into one smooth flow. I don't know how else to explain it, but a bunch of things fell into place watching this and the whole process feels less intimidating...
Do you do a lot of drugs? The only thing to learn here is what NOT to do. This is the worst workmanship and poorest construction practices I have ever seen. I am willing to bet this house is in serious jeopardy in a matter of a couple of winter seasons.
@@lolahunter8851 I would be terrified to live there with the foundation they laid. I don't think they ever heard of something like reinforced concrete piles.
Plywood, plastic and concrete go along so well with this beautiful landscape
Even as the video started, part of my brain was still thinking the house was “built in 10 minutes”. On a more serious note, I don’t care what anyone says about a beach house, there’s something way more calming and soothing about the peacefulness and serenity of being surrounded by the hilly countryside.
Right up until rainwater saturation of the soil kicks that entire house down to the bottom of the valley.
@@SpaceBearEngineer I could never sleep soundly in such a house...
@@SpaceBearEngineer 💀
A hose surrounded by trees etc on the beach
@@Toromboloize why
As a European, this style of building is kind of cute.
No offense, it is a fun video and probably a nice house to live in - as long as the weather plays nice.
Americans have the habit of building their houses out of paper and cardboard
And as long as the ground doesn't subside, since it's on a slope, and the increased mass over the land area with very small foundation, no compaction and no sub, could lead to breakaway slippage.
@@anonymanonym6472 That's like saying Europeans have a habit of building there houses out of dirt and sand...
@@solideogloria7987
Concrete and brick and sometimes solid stone.
@@VaderWhoop Exactly, stone and masonry vs wood and concrete. Not paper and cardboard vs dirt and sand.
That was so nice of them to leave that space under the house so all the creepy crawlies can have a place to live too.
Its called vents!
Framework and plywood. Nice shed.
9:33 huge respect for 7 fingers worker
The view from this site never gets old. The porches will be well used!
Until a few days of decent rains sends the house into the valley below
@@zeushighlights5891 Yeah but. . . imagine the view on the way down. Even *more* exciting!
I hope what's left of the hill behind the house is very stable ground during snow and the wet season. Definitely a beautiful view.
I know its 2 years, but i am currently watching the full series on this build and the 10 minute wets my appetite, i have got so many tips from everyone that i will be putting them into my French Villa in March 25....when i leave the UK.
If said it before. The production value of your channel is so good.
This video is made so well. The editing between the timelapse and the non sped-up clips is awesome.
Hope these timelapses are coming to every project from now on.
The way they make a house in under "10 minutes", gives me the inspiration to run around the globe in 2 minutes. Yeah, I can totally run around the world in 2 minutes.
Edit : Those who are saying that they have already mentioned "timelapse" in the title, I would like to make it clear that the title has been changed. The word "timelapse" wasn't there when I wrote this comment. Hell that was the reason I had to make a sarcastic comment. 😐
Hahahaha
Very deceiving thumbnail
Well technically you could by video run around the world in a 2 minute long clip lol but physically mAh
do it then
Same goes to me😂
This has been suggested to me for weeks and I've been skipping it because I thought it'd just be a stationary time lapse video.
This is so good!!! Thanks for putting all the effort into getting great shots. Really makes for an interesting video.
“Cliff side home” a concept bound to bring excitement in the times to come.
Alot of people don't like the house lol. I just like watching it all come into place over a time lapse. It's satisfying.
Builders bravo! 👏🏾 I really hope I can get a team of great builders for my floorplan one day. This was amazing to learn and watch how it was done. Thank you for allowing us to experience it as you all did it.
I am not sure I am as impressed watching this go up as I was dreaming about a home made of wood. I must have had something else in mind for sure, as the weather/elements and noise carrying across rooms starts to play in mind.
It is interesting to see how different US and European style of building is. I've never seen this light type of building style before, here everything is just masive.
You’d think it’d have bigger foundations and much bigger windows with a view like that.
a foundation
That's not a small foundation at all, it's just shallow. That's a perimeter footing, and it's over two feet wide. That's quite large. All of the 6 foot deep poured foundation walls you see in cold climate North American homes are sitting on perimeter footings the same size or smaller, they're just deeper for the sake of a basement or in order to get the footing below the frost line. But the perimeter footing is actually what's holding up the house, and it's depth isn't terribly relevant aside from being climate appropriate.
A lot of people confuse cosmetic elements for structure. Most homes outside of arid climates have perimeter footings, like this, and then they'll often have non-structural slabs poured in between the footings, that act as a sub-floor to the basement. That's not actually holding up the structure though, it's just the perimeter footing doing that, and it's not usually bigger than this for a normal house.
Windows are good enough
Stop complaining and think!!!! If the windows and foundation were bigger they would not have been able to build it in 10 minutes!! Hello!!!! Come on man use your brains like we do here in Canada!!
@@_hector__everybody's eyes are glued to TV computer or IPhone anyway, they could be in a bunker and not know the difference.
I was surprised to see the deck support uprights, bearing on those poured pads were then back filled with soil. Where I live, Italy, those uprights would rot and/or be totally eaten away within two years, no matter what they were treated with (although they looked pretty untreated in the video). Are things that different where this house was built?
No, it's actually a pretty bad build.
That drop off out front looks scary...
Looked like standard pressure treated lumber. I don't think it's a problem.
It looks like a bad build, terrible
Starting with the “foundation “ it’s shifty
My compliments to the video editor (Eric)...nice job! And super build.
Thanks! We had a great time
can't wait to see the 10 minute time-lapse of the rock slide or erosion of the cliff that will eventually take that thing out.
Beautiful home with a million dollar view. I think I'd be spending most of my home time on the deck! Great job, everyone 👏 👍
more than a million
Great video, great views from that house, that dirt cliff behind the house scares the sh!t out of me.
That, and the slight concern about someone driving too fast around that curve in the road, and going off straight into the house. Might not even be due to speeding, but ice.
I was like, damn finally a house properly build with concrete and an actual architect design and then I was like, nope just the foundation and it ended up looking exactly like every single cookie cutter american house ever, sad...
Very few people want to live in a unique architectural home. I'm sure the buyer of this home got exactly what he wanted when he signed the contract and paid his money.
Thats not a house... thats a fancy cardboard box...
Exactly, instead of building a solid well insulated house that will last forever they settled for a flimsy construction that will fall apart in a few decades. The absurd heating costs would have paid easily for the extra expense for doing it right. Never mind the comfort, peace of mind and increasing value. Stupid is as stupid does Forrest would say.
@@simbayukiwolf they haven’t put the insulation in yet. This is just the first 20% of the work
Without solid/thick corner pillars, this house is going to fly in a strong storm.
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
5:51 love the little smile on his face sayin' :"Yeah, that's right! I'm the man of the situation, eh!"
Here in Brazil houses are normally made of bricks, we use wood mostly for decoration. Amazing to see how different it can be on other countries!
Europe as well. I was wondering where they put water and electricity...
Timber is actually an alternative to concrete and steel, which has excellent compressive and flexural properties. However, depending on local building codes and design standards, it must be treated to withstand different climates/moisture levels. For most dwellings, it is strong enough and is a cost-effective way to build houses.
@@Electricity0 I guess I don't live in Europe. Here in Scandinavia most houses are made of wood.
thats the case everywhere except for americans..then they complain, storm took their house..such dumbness
@Birk i geuss i dont live in Scandinavia. Here in finland-
Wow, this Minecraft texture pack looks so good. Those machines are awesome, I wish they had included the mod list

Absolutely beautiful work. Looks so gorgeous. Well done boys.
Man, I wanna work w/ you guys. Using all the zip system, framed perfectly, man y’all got a dream gig you have created for all those workers.
The place, the scenery, the view, the house, the build, the timelapse... WOW 😍
What a beautiful place to frame a house. I would love to work in that environment
That time lapse episode where you caught that two by four, that was excellent. Your face was as calm as it could possibly ever be.
Nice. Foundation looks too shallow. Retaining wall may be necessary or pile sheeting.
For a hillside, I would have expected a couple of reinforced beams (at least at the 4 corners). Imagine that slab of concrete on an eroding mountain. I would be afraid if a landslip or hurricane passed through. But it came out looking real good though!
My exact issue, its way too prone to scouring.. It needed a perimeter retaining wall with a rcc strip foundation. The blocks are in danger of washed away.
haha like what is this foundation. we dig to bedrock build it up with 3 inch minus and we pour level footings not whatever this is hahaha
wtf they didn't even grout it soon as you get pressure good bye house
Loved the slo mo shot of Jaime catching the off cut, pretty cool
I live in new england, and i am always amazed that not that far south from here.....a days drive, how much different the requirements are to have a sound foundation you feel confident to build on. With the difference in frost lines the amount of time and labor u guys save is astronomical, especially when you add up multiple projects.
That was my first reaction as a Minnesotan. "Where the heck is this being built that doesn't freeze?"
@@BoberFett Probably NC, GA or TN. Frost lines for footing purposes are quite shallow in these areas.
thank u for making this cuz i love watching builders build with brick
The end result wasn’t what I expected, I would have thought they’d be something like a huge floor to ceiling windows or wall to wall glass doors that you can slide to get full sunlight in seeing as it’s such an awesome place to build a house, and also, is that normally all the cement and steel bar used for the foundation of a home in the US?
No, not at all.
It differs greatly depending on the region, but even I as a builder was surprised that was all they had to do for footings.
The structure was fairly weakly built to what I'm used to as well, must have been all the code requires for that area.
Not many people have the funds to do it in the most bullet proof way.
in North Carolina, yes. my house was built pretty much the same way, though we're in the center of the state (not in the mountainous west).
@@ajs96350 I'm just wondering how solid that cliff is. Would've been interesting to see that being reinforced before building work properly commenced.
being from Germany, I can tell: Wow, even the shack in my garden has thicker walls and a stronger foundation than this "house". And I only store garden tools in that...
I was wondering the exact same thing, in my country the footings would be notorious along with the "chained" I don't know if that's the proper word in english, but is the cement connecting the footings, anyways, taking into account the location of this house, I wouldn't feel safe in there.
Watching Jamie catch that board reminded me about my thoughts today. I was at work working in our wood shop using the jointer. Part of my job is to teach students how to use the wood shop safely. And boy I tell everyone of my students to watch those episodes about that horrible day. I had no idea that effected me so much. Great video today
Turned into a great learning tool for safety and character. Jamie’s resilience and recovery, nothing short of amazing.
What happened?
I'm new here. What happened?
@@robertdog Jamie had his hand caught in a jointer and lost a good portion of all 4 fingers.
@@robertbeirne9813 Wow. I'm sorry to hear that. It's crazy how quickly something like that can happen.
Building on a mud slope will bring all kinds of thrills and entertainment when it slumps.
Can We Say Slide?
I doubt it's mud. Not many places in the US you can get away with building a structure like this without getting everything signed of by a geological engineer, and they make their money by not losing their stamp because your house fell off a mountain.

Its a paper house .who wants that?? Are you American ?
@@deg6788 people who paid them to build it
Love the house and that build time is amazing. If only most homes could be build in 10 mins. Curious, what's the concern on the possibility of a slide in the back? It looks mainly like loose dirt and a road above. Wouldn't that put a lot of pressure on the face of that cut?
I know, those guys work fast! Well, except for that one slacker who was sipping coffee and gazing out at the view.
It’s amazing that any of your timbers aren’t bowed, bent or twisted. Great video, great job 👍👍👍
Wow! What a view! And wow! What a house! ❤❤
It's so crazy that they managed to build this entire house in only *10 minutes!*

New 3D Printers are Amazing and fast
Awesome crew there. It's a wonderful setting and the workmanship looks first rate. Can't wait to see the inside.
What type of soil stabilization will be used to prevent a landslide from that vertical wall of dirt behind the house? Also, in the great room above the ( I assume) fireplace there was two levels of corner space being walled up which seems like such a waste of possible storage area. Is there a reason areas such as this that are not turned into storage, wether open or secret?
I assume it's because they are going to be covered in stone.
I'd say fire hazard. The entire thing is made out of wood, probably pine. Add storage above a fireplace and you've got a recipe for a fire that'll turn that entire house into a tinder box.
I was going to say the samething lol.
Next video: Riverside home in a beautiful valley in 5 seconds. After the landslide from the "cliff" behind the house decides to collapse and push the house down.
@@furtfurt Exactly!!!
Big money on this one. I like the fast frames. Shows all the work in a sec. Know what you in for. A penny and pound.
Did I miss the plumbing???( lol) Great work and if I wasn’t so terrified of landslides from the back & front, I would love to have a house there.
I wondered that as well, just one drain pipe was visible before they poured cement.
background at 8:34 is a pipe
Stunning! You must be so proud of the beautiful work you do.
This is totally unique to me. I have never seen houses build this way. It doesn't seem strong at all. But I love the way.
The embankment at the back looks very "safe" also.
It's just typical American timber frame construction.
It doesn't seem strong at all, because it isn´t strong at all :D
Yeah well. This is for areas that don't get crazy weather
TH-cam had taught me that apparently American houses aren't built from bricks, which I find absolutely bizarre. No wonder Americans online are always taking about people punching holes in walls and complaining about noisy neighbours and shit.
Nicely done. I hate to be a nitpick, but up here in Canada, when using concrete block for a foundation, it has to be "H" block, fully grouted throughout to prevent water infiltration through a mortar joint. Footings look awfully shallow, but I guess it depends on what part of the country you're in. Ours is 4' frost cover, looks like you guys are lucky. Also, the ceiling ties need to go into tension at the flush beam to prevent rafter spreading. Hopefully you installed ties at the beam, but I doubt it. Finally, that slope looks awfully precarious, and it looks like your foundation could be undermined., I hope you guys had a geotechnical engineer addressing slope stability. Sorry for the criticism, but as a retired structural engineer, I can't help myself. Cheers.
This content exists for views and likes, not rigorous assessment.
I was thinking the same thing
100% the slope is wrong. it looks like the people just dumped dirt on a hill at 0:33 . not the builders themselves but whoever designed the "cliff". and whoever did it was an idiot and put the house half way down the cliff/hill (you can see the hill retaining wall at 0:18). you never want that amount of dirt above your house, and never like 10 feet near your home 1:16. more money than brains i guess.
@@apples5565 .....this video will probably be used by the owner's lawyers to sue the builder, especially if it was built without a geotechnical engineer. Would not surprise me at all
@@markstevens1729I would want someone to rigorously assess where I'm going to be living lol especially after spending who knows how much money
Impressive!!!! They built the entire house before sunset 🤩
A beautiful house and awesome editing.
Very nice vid. Your time lapse speed is always on point, as well as your musical selection.
Perkins Bros continues to produce a very valuable TH-cam channel: great remedial content for the noob - refreshing and entertaining for the well-seasoned builder.
biggy up's, boys
Just wondering when did you install the plumbing pipes and and is the base of the home left open with vents and no insulation? I didn't notice these steps in the video. Just curious about your process regarding these two areas. Thank you! Great video!
Just curious, I’m used to seeing houses built over 3 ft or deeper foundations. Isn’t this too shallow for a house on a hill?
Well, if it's in the South it will get blown away well before it slides away.
funny thing about your comment i was about to make my own about this exactly. only one layer of rebar on the bottom and about one foot of foundation.... a recipe for a sliding and cracking house.....
I was also curious about the foundation. The video did not show any drainage next to the poured concrete footer. My guess is that the owners will need to install a large French diversion drain on the side of the house next to the steep hill to prevent the shallow foundation from being undermined on that side by water pouring down the hill.
This house was built on rock hard “dirt.” It isn’t going anywhere.
Depends entirely on the building codes for that county. What we don't see in the time-lapse are the multiple trips to the build site by the county inspectors.
What a location..... Love it!! the house is also very nice!! Great job!!
The house is indeed beautiful especially considering the amazing location.
My question is about the durability of the house..
I saw that they didn't used Iron bars or Block stone for foundations,Column and beam and they construct the house by using mostly wood and cardboard or plywood.
Will the house be durable? What will be it's longivity?
Will it be earthquake proof? Will it be weather proof especially fog,moisture etc as it's situated on a high altitude?
The most important question is will it sustain the termite or white ant invasion?
That's how they are built in the US apparently. Brick houses are only for the rich
it will last until landslide
just how houses are in America pinewood and nail guns with a side of MDF, load bearing wall? what's the difference between that and a regular wall more wood and cardboard please
Perfect doubts …, all those cropped up in my mind too !
@@Barney-ps8bl and you know what?
Just watched the 2hr vid of this build...1st class work guys
This is so cool to watch! Simply awesome. It is also very helpful to understand how to build a house from start to finish.
Thanks guys - Just got a pair of Violet Victory sunglasses with your perkinsvip code. They look wicked rad. Love the time lapse video too. Jaime - I'm so happy to see you living your life after the accident with the planer. I literally think about you every time I use mine. You make me make safer choices. Love all you boys and all the awesome content you make.
Beautiful place! I would want more windows facing that gorgeous view! A wall of windows 😁
Not me! Bears in them mountains. Small windows high off the ground with heavy wood shutters and a cross bar.
@@virginiaoflaherty2983 oh, I didn't think about bears!
Thank you brother for the knowledge 🎉❤😊
Wooden house is a glorified shed.
Would it not make more sense to build all out of concrete and blocks? ( increase resistence to forest fire damage )
That strip of concrete is the entire foundation over a dirt base? Are they not concerned about sinkage, slippage or subsidence?
I didn't see any dpc go down either.
Thanks Eric, informative format especially for builders…
0:39 Nah the truck doing stuff
It's pretty nice to see that how the made this house, i am seeing this kind of house first time cuz in India we made house with bricks, concreat and cement (and the foundations are usually 10 to 12 ft deep) but because of this it's hard to made houses in different designs
This is first time when TH-cam recommended a video where people are not using mud and sticks to build their houses
Great video, loved the bit where Jamie caught the timber with his hand! Very inspiring, keep it up
Anyone have any idea which stocks may be experiencing major growth this new year season? A lot of people have been talking about a March bounce. I recently sold my Boca Grande, Florida, house, and I want to invest a lump sum before equities recover in the stock market. Is now a good time to buy or not?
I don't believe there has ever been a better method to understand how to enhance your wealth than by working with a skilled portfolio advisor who can research and experience a wide range of markets. The value of the U.S. dollar clearly has an impact on investing in a variety of ways.
I was left holding worthless positions in the market in 2020 because to these market uncertainties, which is why I don't base my market assessments and decisions on rumours and hearsay. Before I started noticing any noticeable improvements in my portfolio, I had to fully redesign it with the assistance of an advisor; I've been working with the same advisor and have scaled up to 750k.
@@marcelrobert9569 Yes, My mentor Julie Anne Hoover has extensive training and knowledge in the financial industry. She is regarded as an authority in the field and has in-depth understanding of portfolio diversification. I advise doing more study on her credentials. She is a great resource for anyone looking to understand the financial market because of her extensive experience.
@@charlotteflair1043 Thanks for the advice. The search for your coach was simple. and before setting up a call with her, I did extensive research on her credentials. She seems to have a high degree of skill based on her resume, and I appreciate the chance to chat with her.
@@charlotteflair1043Oh no, Julie Anne Hoover invested my money and I lost most of it, she’s not a good person. She lacks training.
As satisfying as this is to watch, it too must be so satisfying of a job to build all of these differently-shaped houses from scratch to finish. Seeing your work come to fruition in front of you must be so nice. I've been an industrial/commercial/residential plumber pipefitter for a couple of years once in my life, but with that I'm usually not seeing the complete building of a place from barebones since the walls and roof are usually already up by the time my work comes along, so it's way different and not nearly as satisfying of a job, lol.
Great video as always. When you have a chance please talk about the factors that influence whether you use rafters or trusses. Also, please show the plans so we can see how it went from on paper to reality like you've done in some previous builds.
Rafters are cheaper than trusses
Love a good time-lapse! Well done!
This house wouldn't last for one Canadian winter ... Snow and frost is a killer!
it won't survive there that long either. That's why you ask people with skill to work for you - and not those who can only make some nice video content
@@gajustempus what were the problems you identified with the build?
@@selfrighteous88 it’s basically made of cardboard
@@selfrighteous88 it's loose soil. That's why they had no problems moving it with that tiny excavator and shovels. That kind of soil is known for both erosion and warping due to weather. That's why you need a sturdy foundation to build upon, something MUCH deeper than what they did - preferably pillars you place deep into the ground (at least 2-3 meters / 6-9 feet). You can then go ahead and place beams onto those pillars and construct the floor beams on those beams. That way the house won't warp, develop cracks or rot away within just a few years.
And the whole construction out of wood-only...not even a composite material is nothing but cheap. As I said: Material to build a little shack from
@@selfrighteous88 moisture problems as I didn't see anything preventing water from seeping up the foundation. That's why sensible builders replace the bottom soil with gravel that stops water.
I didn't see any water drainage channels either so all of it will flow directly to the foundation. Nice
Its just magical to me how grows from nothing to something perfect and beautiful, but I really miss the finishing part, its the most value one, when the diamond is polished to perfection.
I love these time lapse videos. Though I have binge watched most Perkins Brothers videos, these short ones are great to push in to your busy day.
What I was curious about this construction is why the flooring in the foundation was not made concrete? I mean, wouldn't it be wiser to cover up the soil with concrete to ensure longevity of the house?
I ask this because I'm new to house construction processes in the US and grew up mostly watching how houses are built in India.
I'm no pro but far as I'm aware American houses made like this keeps under the house open access and easy to adjust if needed. If you put concrete down then later need to put in some pipe, you might have to dig it all out. Everything load bearing has a concrete foundation, so the rest is just about looks that you can't see. It's also probably quite expensive running a cement truck out that far.
A big concrete slab like that would be a giant pain you you need to work underneath the house, and it won't help the structural rigidity at all since it wouldn't be bearing any load.
Great work !! I just have a question, I’m not very familiar with construction based projects but I noticed at the beginning obviously first thing they did was the foundation for the home, but they didn’t go very deep? I thought for a home like this foundations would have to reach deeper into the ground for structural rigidity. Was that deep enough or string enough? Just curious :)
That's how they build houses in the US. Lighter and easier to make (good for the workers, not good for the quality of the house) and also lucrative business due to its small durability.
Also depends on the soil, low, medium and high shrinkable determines depth, however you’re never getting away with that in England
There're soil studies you can do to see what layers form your terrain. You'd get some properties off that and calculate where and what you want to do. I would've put a lot more steel reinforcement but it's clearly a different style from the building technics used where I live. You wouldn't do something this simple with a brick house that's much heavier.
So if you're curious, these are the basic foundation type and if you see that you would need to cover more than half the foundation area, you might as well do a full slab. There're also deep foundations like really long circular beams like the foundations of Venice (usually good on soils with a lot of sand or really deep stable ground because they also work on friction so it's not entirely dependant on the beam sitting on something). And other solutions that are used when building basements and such. Too complicated for a yt comment.
In short, you can do foundations like these ones, right under the surface. You'd usually want to know your foundation can hold your house so you'd do calculations of forces and other stuff.
If you're in doubt I guess you could over do it like the greeks did. Until recently, architecture was done using proportions and experience, not very scientific.
In switzerland it goes like 80cm deep in the ground for the cold perimeter and then it goes around like 5cm lean concrete and 25cm Concrete. American houses ar super weard. hahaha
I lived in this area. My Home was built on to the mountain itself. The back area rested on the rock. Built 75 years before I bought it, by the family i purchased it from. They used Sycamore logs stood on end to be the main beam supports. NOTHING Rotted sitting on the natural dirt and nothing shifted in all those years.
On this home, If you notice the end drone view, you will see there was a MAJOR Cut to the mountain, done to build a level platform. There was no Top soil left. That clay and OLDEST MOUNTAINS in the world ledge isn't going to move or flex much. They are sitting on ROCK as old as time.
Lovely build but my only problem is the cliff side erosion, every year there’s little bit of erosion so in next 5-10 years that house might not be there, so how would you tackle that or stop the erosion ?
Thats why the owners only get a 1 year warranty!
great video and content, sooo satisfying. from the Philippines here!
Im loving this build. Keep up the good work.
Good work? Its probably the worst workmanship and choice of building materials I have seen since touring Mexico
This was very satisfying to watch however, is it safe to built walls out of wood instead of bricks? Would this structure withstand a tornado?
It would not withstand it. I liked the timelapse, but to me this house is as sturdy as a model that will be used for an explosion in a movie. The walls have 0 thickness.
Thanks. Nice video. I was wondering what the armor is that one of the guys seems to wear on one of his hands/knuckles. At first I thought it was for protection or extra strength but when I rewatched it, I noticed it actually is some sort of prosthetic, as a finger replacement. Nice to see that he can fully function with such a prosthetic!
You guys just get yourself a new subscriber, I’m impressed ❤❤
WOW, It's mind blowing how houses made of wood can last longer.
Also how many trees are cut to build one house?
Good question.

I’m not used to this kind of construction so I was intrigued: did the outside walls stayed thin like that at the end? It would be insulated of course, but is that thickness enough?
Unless they are doing something really interesting with spray foam I don't see how this home can be remotely built for the climate. 2x4 walls are not enough with just batt, but I've also seen Alaska homes with less insulation than Florida homes being typical even though it's not code. The foundations look not deep enough for a likely frost line, but... it's not my home and they seemed to have prioritized the land, not the home quality.
It’ll work but with that climate, their home is not going to be very energy efficient.
10:40 If they wouldn‘t have built such an impressive retaining wall behind the house, this massive cut out right under the road would cause me nightmares 😂
... just like Jesus... I was a Carpenter straight out of High School... good job fellas and that view is simply BREATHTAKING...hey you my love, wanna help me build OUR SECRET hideaway?!...sure you do...soon...👑😎💫💛😘🦅
