- We got the last of the form walls lowered into the root cellar hole just in time, our first snow storm of the year hit that night.

You and Natalie always seem to impress me more every video , not only do you work so well together , you always make time and spend time with your children, and no matter the weather you make time to go to church together , I love you're tie ❤
Such a beautiful snow. The kids sledding segment really made me smile.
My favorite aspect of your channel continues to be the wonderful working relationship and teamwork you guys have grown into over time. Natalie just continues to amaze me. I think she could get a job on most any construction crew 😄. How she juggles being a mom of 4, a wife and keeper of the home, as well the best construction assistant a husband could ask for is indeed awesome. And Jake has aquired such a patience, respectful, encouraging leadership for the whole family. You all are setting a wonderful example. Well done 🥰👍!!
Take care!! Blessings!! ♥️
Couldn't have said it better myself.
The best laid plans of mice and men...the kids had a great time! Maybe you'll get a Dr. Pepper sponsorship out of the deal 😅
Looks like you could be headed to church. Great work guys. What a place you are building with your own hands. Hats off from me.
I subscribe to probably 50 "TH-camrs". Let me just say that you two have your S**T together quite well. Excellent, well thought out efforts. GO! GO! GO!
BRRRR! Cold and snow! The wall are going up looking good guy's!
The TH-cam channel with the best music ever 😊 👍
you guys are amazing with the backhoe and setting those walls!,,,what a great job... a family affair for tree removal, fun times. lots of fun with the snow!!! working in the snow is a whole different challenge you guys embraced well...good that you drink dr pepper....you braced the top of the walls in no time!!! nice work attire, suit and tie!!!thanks for sharing
Good Form guys! Good Form! haha, man I crack myself up.🤣 Thanks for sharing another great video.
I can tell just how perfect your house is going to be. Everything you guys do is perfect. Can’t wait until next Sunday!!
You should cut all trees at least 5p yards away from solar
The snow is beautiful. Extra work and maybe concrete delay but time to ‘smell the roses’! Be careful, some local construction crew may try to hire Natalie away from the house build!😍🇨🇦
Good morning how are you guys doing this morning hope everything is good but I hope everything's getting done on your new project I don't hope everybody's kind of staying warm out there and at least you're getting started building your house at least that's still going to take a lot of work and a lot of time but God bless you guys and have a great day❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊😊
Looking Good!! Stay Safe & Warm!! 🥶☃️🥰🙏🏻❤️
Love the snow! Enjoy it while you can. The heat will be back soon enough!
Fantastic jobs everyone!
I didn’t when you live it’s snow , the kids have a lot of fun, ❤❤
Next week will be more exciting with the concrete pour. Enjoyed watching you have fun with the kids.
I wish I was them kids and not 60 lol. I love the video
Looking sharp, sir :) I'm excited to see these walls get poured. Best of luck! (sledding behind a 4 wheeler looks like so much fun. super jealous)
All hands on deck! Super job well done!
I’ll bet that juniper smelled absolutely wonderful! I have a cord of it. Juniper and cedar are my all time favorites!!
Fun in the snow ! Looks like the children loved it. You must be pretty high elevation for that much snow. We only got a few flurries in the Verde Valley.
In Ohio, we can go for a week without sun ,40 mile an hour winds gusts and minue 3 today
The framing looks great, the snow is beautiful, lots of fun for the kids 😊
Good job bro 😎.
Beautiful ❄ snow, and very happy children! I hope you will soon finish the concrete walls. Have a nice week friends!
Man, I can't wait for the concrete pour.😀
Looks like you got more snow than I did. Cleaning off the solar panels has been quick and easy so far this year.... and of the five winters I've been living in the mountains this year has brought the most rain and least snow.
Kids look like they are having fun in the snow. I use to love the snow but I am too old to play in it now but we live in Alabama so we don't get snow very often. Y'all stay safe and warm.
Me, too! But yesterday I bundled up on the porch with a hot coffee and watched my 4 and 6 yr old grandsons have so much fun in the yard. You’re never too old to enjoy the snow without having to actually jump around in it! Cheers. 😍🇨🇦
Forms look fantastic. I was thinking "will he oil or spray diesel to lube the forms"...and you used sealer. Should do the trick. Nice job. Hope the weather hold out for the pour. Thanks for sharing
Coming good.l
Consider when placing the footing hanging a 2x2 to create a "key" to lock in the wall when it is placed.
I'm pretty sure at 23:35 you were running that bit in reverse 😂
That's an old paddle bit.
Can you do a gas vs electric review on the chainsaws? I noticed that you never use the electric one anymore!! Or maybe that is your review 🤣
I mostly like to use the electric one when I'm using the sawmill because I need to cut random pieces here and there, and it's nice not having to start a gas one over and over for that. Thanks 🙂
I have been planning to do what your doing for 3 years .. I want to use 2×12 boards and pour 11.1/4 inch at a time on a 10 foot by 10 foot walls 8 inch thick .. using 5000 psi concrete at 5.65 per 50 lb bags from home depot and not remove 2×12's until I am done so they can support each other
Have you checked into Perfect Block ICFs? We just finished the house and really like it. R30 insulation and thermal mass. Works great in Northern Nevada. Lots easier than wood forms.
I do like ICF blocks they're just really expensive. Thanks 🙂
Your weather looks like ours here in Calgary Canada only difference is we are in a deep freeze temperatures averaging about -43 Celsius and very cold, Hopefully you can get the concrete pored and keep moving soon.
Yikes that's cold! This last week it got to 2°F (-16°C) which is about as cold as it gets here. Stay warm.
Just wondering how your batteries are holding up in the cold. Thanks for letting us share your journey.
They're doing great this winter now that everything is insulated in the shed. Thanks 🙂
Great content as always. Enjoy watching your journey. Take care and keep us posted:)
So fun, Can i bring my boys up to help for a day?
Appreciate the offer, but I think we can handle it. Thanks 🙂
👍
Just wondering why you chose poured walls over concrete block construction. Thanks for sharing
No reason. It's just the way we went. Thanks 🙂
Tooo late, to warn you - you forgot to install the earthing system at your reinforcement and connetions to inside and to outside of the concrete walls. You need this => outside to connect an earthing ring in the ground and connection to the reinforcement and the whole electric system. Whithout such an earthingsystem, your RCDs will never work as wanted.
??? As an electrician, you should know this ???
Cares jogi
The ufer ground (as it is called here) will be installed later when we pour the footers for the house. I was an electrician, but it doesn't mean I know everything about electrical. Thanks 🙂
Same as western Colorado
50 yards
Thanks for clearing that up. I was getting ready to Google 5p. ♥
The battery pack I am going to start with in my CONEX is 300a @48v. My TT is 560a @24v. Going to tie ground to the rebar? Still trying to get my driveway guy to plow my road for the container delivery. Just postponed delivery again😢 love your attention to detail.
We'll tie the ground in the footers for the house. Thanks 🙂
Awesome content. I'm curious about a couple of things. Why did you decide to go with poured concrete walls instead of cinder block and filling cavities? Also why are you putting your electrical inside of concrete walld VS running emt on inside of wall surface?
Guess I didn't want to lay block so concrete it is. Electrical ran inside the wall looks better than outside of the wall. Thanks 🙂
NP, was just wondering if there was a technical reason for it. Im starting my planning for the house i want to build and looking for ideas...thanks@@aboulderlifeoffgrid
Are you going to wire tie the form walls together?
Not sure what you mean. But they are heavily screwed together, and there will be much more bracing put in. Thanks 🙂
That is going to be a lot of pressure on the screws on just the 2x4 blocks at the top holding the forms together. When we used steel forms, we had 1/8 inch thick rods that were installed on a grid through the walls from one side to the other and cleated with wedges or pins that were tight against the walls at the ends of the rods, which added extra holding power.
When we poured, we didn't pour at just one place, we poured a 2 foot deep section on all four sides then continued pouring 2 foot deep evenly all way around so no one wall would have all the pressure at a time. This also gave the concrete a little time to set up, which lessened the chance of a blowout or a lift of the forms. I am sure you have researched this already, I am just saying how we did it. You are doing a fantastic detailed job so you know what you are doing.
You guy's always work hard even in the snow.😊😉🫠🙃🙂👍👍👍👍👊👊👊👊💯💢💥💫❤❤❤
