Steve! You are an amazing young man! It is so great to have you verbalize your well deserved excitement for your new castle. Also you taking the time and opportunity to recognize your wife’s “contribution” to making your dream become a reality. You definitely are a “chip off the old block” of your father. Your parents taught you respect for others, honesty, hardworking, and loyalty! Enjoy every second of watching your house become a home!
Hi Steve, Enjoy this time, because you will never build another "1st house".Ours was almost 30 years ago and I still remember so much of it. I fortunately didn't have a couple of little ones to watch and I was able to be involved as much as I could. 2 things I might suggest. Framers love food, so don't feel bad about spoiling them with donuts and pizza. Very few leftovers 😂😂😂 I got up early one morning and made biscuits and gravy and did I ever score some huge points for that. If you get the opportunity with dry weather and dry subfloor, consider spraying some Thompsons or other water resisting material. No it won't waterproof things, but it certainly does help. Keep the lumber piles covered for sure. Yea, it's a small thing, but everything adds up. Have fun with this and don't be afraid of asking your lead framer for any suggestions he might have. He's done a lot more than you ever will and he stores away some good ideas. 😂😂
Steve, I just turned 69. I try to learn at least 1 thing new everyday, I didn’t know that the engineered I Beams had to be fire protected in a basement. Thanks my friend.
Quite simply, just an echo chamber of all the other positive comments, your videos bring to mind a line from a great old Billy Joel song, “Piano Man” paraphrased “I knew it complete when I wore a younger man’s clothes”. Documenting this part of your family’s journey with these videos, will be looked back on generationally with reverence. Another great video, thanks!
Those guys moving like a swiss watch. Spending time with the girls is important too. Getting them involved with the whole building/moving is important. Firecode entry doors are also a requirement. Its going to be a great home.
Those guys are very good! Especially working in the conditions they have been working, really making great progress! Looks like , as you said , you know these guys and their quality and speed... Very impressive! 👍💯
GOOOOOOD MORNING Steve!!! Sorry about your Steelers!! But at least your hours is going up!! WHOO HOO!!!…back when you were planning this build, I’d betcha you never foresaw shoveling snow off your first floor 😮… wicked happy & excited for Yinz guyz….the guys framing in those temps are bad asses & crazy 🤪 Keep posting/ videoing Love watching yinz house come together!! Have a day 😊
It really looks like a house - nice work! BTW: If you ever head to Cheyenne, WY, I have access to a private range and we can shoot out to 800 yds. You're welcome here any time. Your future home is looking good!
Hi Steve. I'm glad you're finally getting to building your dream house! I've watched CWTH since the beginning. I wish your dad would mention your channel more often and keep a link in his descriptions. BTW, fellow Pennsylvanian here. Take care!
Please, please, please, as an old retired firefighter, while you are in the framing stage, install a residential sprinkler system. Do not believe the BS the insurance companies spread about these systems. Your beautiful daughter’s lives can depend on it. If you want to do your own research, look up NFPA 13 D. The standard for residential sprinkler systems.
I love watching an efficient crew get stuff done. That's why I watch Concrete with the Hauses, and it's why I'm enjoying this build.

Steve you are so blessed to have such pretty supervisors.
8' shovel worked great. ;)
Framing a house is a beautiful thing to see. It generates good feelings. Remember those when the wiring and finish carpentry is going on.
Those guys moving like a swiss watch. Spending time with the girls is important too. Getting them involved with the whole building/moving is important. Firecode entry doors are also a requirement. Its going to be a great home.
Love the channel, Steve.
I’ll be hanging out with you during your beautiful dream house build! ✌🏽
It is great to see your enthusiasm and happiness. I, for one, am enjoying watching the process and am learning a lot. keep it up.
Steve other than cost is there a reason why you did not use Advantech subflooring and sheathing ?
That is one helluva framing crew you got there, bud....
Ideal method for removing snow with the foam board. Always interesting to watch your progress.
I think protecting the OSB from fire is about the time it takes to burn through, the solid lumber taking longer to burn through and fail than the OSB.
5:10 Lol, they just beasted up that steel beam using a ladder. That had to have tested the true weight limit of the ladder.
I am very glad and proud for you and your family in watching this new home being constructed.
Seven thousand subscribers. Awesome.
I like watching the build. I’ve watched your dad from dad from the beginning.
👍👍👍
Im happy for you and your family, will enjoy watching...
Great to see progress on your new house. Amazing how fast framing goes with a good crew. Congrats!
The framework looks awesome and looking forward to the next video!
Double jacks under the LBL window header. Great idea. Nice to see a different building style
That is going to be one heck of a house. Looking good. Congrats.

The reason for that to be there is the fire will deterate will burn through in five to 7 minutes and have floor collapse. United Labotories listing

Did you look into Zip sheathing vs Tyvek, Steve?
Congrats
Are there any non Amish framing homes anymore ? I remember seeing framing crews everywhere back 10 years ago ! Now not so much !
👍
That is okay
I am just happy to buy a loaf bread and some milk…
