Joel just wow, you are going to make that house so amazing when you're done. I can't wait until the finished project is done. You have so much energy and know how to get it all done. I love watching these videos, not that I am ever going to do any of these projects, but it's fun watching. Thank you for teaching us all how to do things.
Please put a hard hat on, you’re terrifying me! Side note: You’re doing an amazing job, I love watching your vision for this house come together and I cannot wait to see the finished product of all your hard work.
I can honestly say I will never have to do this in my lifetime. Having said that, I cannot miss a single episode. TH-cam needed this type of channel and you are going to do very, very well Joel. (I did get a chuckle out of a typo in the description. I was wondering who TOADY was, lol.) Heather🇨🇦
From day1 when Joel bought this house,he saw what it could be,he's doing this on his own and enjoys working hard,seeing nothing turn into something for another family,.thanx for sharing
I love that you make it as simple as possible to explain onto my handyman who’s not a patch on you!! What a fab project to pass these sad times. Luv you guys.......... but Joel’s the main man!🤫😉💕🇬🇧👍🏼✌🏻
So much fun watching how this house is coming together, it's like watching HGTV and whomever buys this place when your done is going to know you didn't do anything half way!!! Glad you have an outlet during this time in our world, thanks for making content for us. Hugs to your family :)
Joel!! Just came from the family vlog. Even though it seems like a lot of work, it is SO worth it. Don’t doubt yourself. You can do it and it’s already amazing. We are all behind you supporting you and your family. You can do this !!!! 💪💪💪
Ha, I agree with Rosie.... I was thinking the same thing... hard hat!!! I was SO HAPPY to see that someone else was with you in case of an accident.. Doing a great job Joel...
hey... i enjoy every of your video here even if I will not do any of this in general, but the ends of your videos,it reminde me the ends of every movie from Jackie Chan and is the best. i was from the first subscribers here. Continue the good work. We are here for you....!!!! BIG LOVE FROM GREECE. (Sorry for my english.. I know, mistakes everywhere, at least I try....hihihihihihihi)
I helped my husband do one of those and they're SO heavy! I was wondering how were you doing it by yourself?! and then I saw your dad, good thing you have him helping you. I look forward to more videos 😉
Hi Joel, Just watched your video and really love to see what you are doing in that house. Whether you sell it or not, it is going to be a safe place to live in. Also, say HI to your dad. I saw him walking around in the background. He is so cute and you are giving him something to do with his time. We all need that right now. Good job.
I am sooo enjoying this and watching Joel's dream come to fruition. Personally I'd build in half the carport and make that the master with en-suite and walk in robe giving you an extra bedroom and have the former Master as a guest room.
Wish I was this skilled in renovating things! love watching these vids, learning a lot from them and looking forward to seeing the house when it's all finished 😊
Hey Joel love watching you do all this work, love all remodeling projects can watch you all day it's one of my favorites,This house is going to look amazing when done. HEY joel maybe a different camera would be better not this fish Bowl camera, I'm sure Bonnie has another one, ....
Joel I’m a little confused earlier in the video you mention that the load bearing wall runs perpendicular to the trusses. But the beam you replace is parallel to the trusses. So then how do you know the beam is load bearing? Thanks and I love the content you’re putting out!
You are correct, The trusses that look parallel are for the addition of the house and are not being supported by this particular beam. The beam is holding the trusses heading back into the house. Good Eye.
Wow JOEL, your so informative , I think k I can build a house today 🎪😨 or mabye just a tent. 🙄 seriously this is great to watch, I watch all these shows on T V, you are going to have a beautiful home when your finished. Take care and be safe love your family 💜💜💜
Joeee !! Love how dedicated you are in making this house a better home . I believe in you , I know sometimes it may seem like things just keep getting messier & messier but just Never give up !!! Keep doing what makes you happy. Can’t wait to see the final results!!! Great job joe !! 🤩🤩🤩💚
Lol Joel the whole time I watched this video I was thinking of that TikTok where they say, come with me and you’ll be in a world of OSHA violations. Lol. You are doing an amazing job keep up the hard work and stay safe.
Great video, very helpful. For existing home with load bearing wall, Can you join two small beams using metal connector between the two together to make one long beam to get rid of a column holding up the weight?
Hey were in Castro valley also you might know the big red barn looking house on lessley ave Stop by I could use some tips. Removing Wall and also closet widening. Cool vidz.thx
I don't understand what these new beams are supporting... Your existing truss roof was designed to transfer all loads from your ceiling and roof to the outside structural walls they load on. The existing "beam" you cut away in sections was cosmetic, and used to create a separation between rooms in the previous lay-out of the home. What are your new LVL beams supporting?
When you move a support beam you must support the beam from the ground up. You may want to remind people to make sure there is solid wood under the jack stud. You don’t won’t it sitting on the open area between floor joists
When you erected the support wall you erected it parallel to the trusses? We're the ceiling batons holding it or was it in an empty space on the sheet rock? Cuz if it was just sitting parallel to the trusses on empty sheet rock it wasn't really a support wall.
It looks a little funny in the video, but the trusses parallel to the beam are part of an addition to the house. The beam is supporting the roof trusses perpendicular to the beam. God eye.
Not going to lie, I’m never going to remodel a house alone BUT your videos are very fun to watch. I send this to my fiancé, like a little nudge to get a fixer upper when we get married.😂
My husband subscribed to your channel because he doesn't watch vlogs (and because I told him to, lol). Can you put the other house footage from the vlog channel on here too?
Wow good work are you going to remove whole walls and floor in the house? Look like it all of it need remove and replace new walls and floors good luck that's lot of work and good workout too👍
Good job, also think it’s funny you have the comment section on your channel but your other channel still blocked... keep up the good work. Good investment for the family.
Great stuff !! Just found your channel. I would have tucked the beam into the attic , to keep the ceiling flat . Was there something in the way ? Or was this the clients preference?
Is it wrong that I still dont understand but love listening to you talk/explain things....love the merch but my head shape doesn't do caps well!!!....hoping for other options too. Love that your dad is helping too.
LINCOLN'S HAIR CUT!!!! I am in support or your emotions lol. You took away baby Lincoln and got a man. I haven't cut my 2 year olds hair yet. I kind of want to but I dont want to take away from having my baby. He is my last baby.
Hi, I am going to do a similar job, like DIY, the engineering told me to install an LVL 2-9-1/2", they are too expensive in my city, I was planning to use a 2x12" SPF dimensional lumber (Home Depot), what do you think?
the engineering I talked to works for the wood company, lol. A normal 2x12" cost $45, I need two. The Lvl 2x9-1/2" cost $250 each. people say, I should be fine but I am not 100% confident.
Great job, Sir. Thanks for sharing. I have question: Can one replace an 18" LVL beam with a smaller one, say something around 12"? The reason I ask this question is that I want to do a renovation in my house I have been told to install 3*18" LVL 2.0E beams, but that will show up too much on the ceiling, which I don't like. I want to hide the beams in the ceiling as much as possible. So can I put, for instance, 4 LVL 12" beams (or any thing smaller than 18")?
If an engineer has specked an 18" LVL that is what I would go with, but there are other options. 1 you can recess the beam in the ceiling and hang the ceiling from it the same way I hung the floor joists. (There are tons of videos about this on youtube) 2 you can change it to a steel wide flange beam, these are heavy but shorter and take up less head room. I would have an engineer give you specks for both options. Have fun on your project you won't regret doing it.
What's the housing market like in UT? If you sell it, do you think you will make back the money you spent on the house? $200K+ on a termite infested home plus repairs. Cost of repairs would be something to include in the videos. Give people a good idea about the approximate cost.
@@TodaysTask ok - but we redid our floors our house was built in 65 and there were nails but we screwed down the new plywood - matter of choice I guess Thanks for responding #STAYSAFE #STAYHOME
I heard floor bearing, roof bearing....etc... I could listen to this guy for hours!!!! And not understand a single thing!
Joel just wow, you are going to make that house so amazing when you're done. I can't wait until the finished project is done. You have so much energy and know how to get it all done.

I was thinking the same!Made me soo nervous.We only want him to be safe :)
Wow, I never seen a major beam being replaced by one person. Awesome job Joel
I can honestly say I will never have to do this in my lifetime. Having said that, I cannot miss a single episode. TH-cam needed this type of channel and you are going to do very, very well Joel. (I did get a chuckle out of a typo in the description. I was wondering who TOADY was, lol.) Heather🇨🇦
Awesome video . I had no idea I was so interested in load bearing walls and beams but I was riveted all the way through.
I dont build but I love watching videos like this and also love Joel. I'm super excited to see the finishing results
You're awesome Joel !!! ...Nothing else to add lol !! :)....lol Dad comment @ the end !!! ...Priceless !
JOEL!!!! GREAT VLOG AND VERY INTERESTING INFO. Thank you that your vlog is longer. YOUR VLOGS ARE GREAT!!! YOUR HAT IS A HIT!!
🔨🔨🔨🔨
I was so nervous when he was lifting the beam. I could hear bonnies voice saying " joel, Joel, oh my gosh joel be so careful!" Lol hard hat!!
The highlight of my Friday is watching your Today’s Task videos! Thanks so much Joel!

Joel please show/ make a video on the new truck and how it’s handy for your channel and the work you do!
Your knowledge of all things remodeling is amazing! Great job.

Joel!!!!!!! I love seeing you in your element!
Learning and being entertained during these quarantined days. I love the end few seconds
Great video! Thank you!!
I love watching your vlog. I don't really know what the heck your talking about all the time but I enjoy it. Keep up the great job.
Best videos on TH-cam and I watch your family vlogs too
Love the video's, so informative. It's great to see such an in-depth job your doing. When your Filming with the go pro it does make me feel 🤢 though.
Great video Joel. Looking forward to the kitchen remodel.

Im so glad joel made a channel because hes much easier to watch.
I said to my fella the other week joal needs his own channel so glad you do now
Always good information even if not doing a huge project!
I love these videos, it’s honestly my dream to buy a house and flip it, one day!!!! I’m really enjoying this channel Joel
Thank you. I am no longer intimidated.
Way to go Joel!!! Keep the great content coming...
Joel is so freakin awesome 👏
Lol Joel the whole time I watched this video I was thinking of that TikTok where they say, come with me and you’ll be in a world of OSHA violations. Lol. You are doing an amazing job keep up the hard work and stay safe.
Great video, very helpful. For existing home with load bearing wall, Can you join two small beams using metal connector between the two together to make one long beam to get rid of a column holding up the weight?
No, you will need tats column or you can buy lvl that is long enough. The longer the beam, the tales the beam.

Loving the updates! Very informative.
Love the end clips lol great job!!!
Loved the video!! This was very helpful!! Keep up the good work!!
I love these videos TFS
When you erected the support wall you erected it parallel to the trusses? We're the ceiling batons holding it or was it in an empty space on the sheet rock? Cuz if it was just sitting parallel to the trusses on empty sheet rock it wasn't really a support wall.

I know at first it seemed like a weird purchase, but now it is such a great thing to be working on in these times.
So awesome to see you and your dad working together. What size nails are you using to keep the two parts of the beam together?
I use 16 penny Rim Shank nails.
Good job, also think it’s funny you have the comment section on your channel but your other channel still blocked... keep up the good work. Good investment for the family.
Love watching this
i love this channel!
I’m loving your channel!!
@Today's Task Why do you use nails instead of screws to secure the wood/beams/strapping? Is it because of building codes/safety/strength?
Great stuff !! Just found your channel. I would have tucked the beam into the attic , to keep the ceiling flat . Was there something in the way ? Or was this the clients preference?
Haha the microphone cover, it looked more like our eyelashes... And we are really there in person, what you're recording.

HEYYYY JOEL JUST WANNA SAY I LOVEEEE YOUR FAMILY. I WISH I COULD COMMENT ON BONNIES CHANNEL BUT AT LEAST I CAN ON THIS ONE. LOL ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Omg so much work. How many months do you anticipate that this will take?
🏗 🛠 🗜 🔩 🔧 🧰 🚧 moving right along.
Lol, when the hammer went flying during the outtakes.
that is so cool
Love these videos!!
Probably should have a helmet on bro. Watching that 2x skating underneath those LVL beams as you were raising it gave me anxiety.
Very good explanation
If I have a question about small project I’m having in my kitchen, how do I reach out?
Thanks again
mytodaystask@gmail.com
Hi Joel! Awesome content. Can you explain your logo on your next video as a quick clip? I get the “T”. What is the other thing? Levels? Boards?
How long did this job take in real time?
about 2 house. The work part is pretty quick, but the prep and time to think through every step takes most of the time.
Hahahaha you said 55$ per board. You make funny jokes
Nice job Bob the builder! Put to shame!

Do they sell the LVL'S by the foot, I know that is how I buy mine.
❤❤❤ so fun to watch!
I wish you would of done some time lapse videos idk maybe you still can that would be awesome

Love the hat. This is the perfect channel for you, I love watching this stuff.
Just saw the video on your family channel - why would you not use screws on the floor boards to avoid future pop ups and squeeks?
When we put the new floor down it will be with screws, but the house was built in the 60's and nails were the fastening medium of choice.
@@TodaysTask ok - but we redid our floors our house was built in 65 and there were nails but we screwed down the new plywood - matter of choice I guess
