I watched this whole series. I am beyond impressed. I did this kind of stuff as a helper in high school. Just to see you lug plywood sheets up ladders so effortlessly is amazing.
With Ryan's th-cam.com/users/postUgkxy_pn55PK60wAV3X_C_RoLS_67mNonoCE plan I was like one taken by the hand and led step by step from start to finish. Thank you very much Ryan!
We are currently living in the second house that I built by myself. It is very modern with high ceilings throughout and is almost 4000 square feet. It took one and a half years working 10 to 12 hours a day 7 days a week. Anyone that is physically healthy and in good shape can do this though it helps to be good with tools. If you have some background in construction then you will have a head start. I have no experience in construction and had to learn everything on my own. You will need to know how to draw plans, excavate land, concrete formwork, carpentry, masonry, electrical, plumbing, drywall hanging and finishing, HVAC installation and ductwork, finish trim, painting, tile work, plumbing fixture installs, window, and door installation, cabinet build and hanging trench in underground water, sewer and electrical .... and on and on. When finished you will have a house for about 1/3 the cost of buying a ready-made one. By the way, save up a bunch of cash before you start because no bank is going to lend an amateur do-it-yourselfer a few hundred grand.
@@SolidSiren youre high if you think you can build a 4000 square foot home to your own needs for under half a million. Couple hundred grand aint nothing be afraid of when youre building
With the rise of housing cost, I'm thinking outside the box. I'm looking to purchase a land with a nice view and built my own house (not tiny, but small enough for a small family) . I've been looking at modular and prefab homes but the price is still a little too much for me. I'm very handy and learn easily, that's why I'm always on youtube watching DIY lol. I have no experience building a house but has done some minor renovations in the house like kitchen. But I would love to learn the very first steps before you even started.
Its easy AF homie. I went to Los Angeles Trade Tech for residential construction. But I learned a lot from TH-cam also. I'm looking for some vacant land in Cali. $1,000 an acre. They want $800,000 for a 1000 square foot house in the center of the ghetto in Los Angeles. Hell naw.
I built my house by myself last year, Liberty Hill, TX. 1200sf single story. Everything, electrical, plumbed, cleared the lot. I'm 63. Seen you work... you're tough too
these ppl in the coments do not know anything about framing. everything in this video is perfect. this guy is a good framer. ive done this style of house before. this takes alot of work. everythign this guy is doing is safe. im impressed. n
Started Framing in 1982 and can't tell you how many times I had to hang the Main beams, stand end gables and install 2x8x16-20 rafters on my own...I amazed myself sometimes...Good Job BTW!
I've done all kinds of "unsafe" things as a carpenter but a single 2x6 is crazy in mho. I would have T post, at the VERY least, with two 2x6. lol, And I do mean the very least. This dude has balls of steel as far as I'm concerned.
The whole beam, joists and sheathing in each set you did is resting on what looks like a single vertical 2x4 8 feet long with no lateral bracing either. Just walking on that setup you are asking for a big fall. You need to learn to work safe. Also a little advice on materials using that particle board beams and joist, you will regret later...
Had House Fire Once & Rebuilt looking into using those Ibeams for Floor & if you had another House fire it would burn right threw those Ibeams shortly after my house fire there another house fire and fire fighter got really hurt or died if i recall correctly...
I rebuilt a barn on a property I bought the original owner was selling off barn parts and when I bought the property I put it back together and then roofed it. With pole barn metal
Dammm bro ur a beast.. just to see u doin it in the snow is sum crazy shit 4reals.. much props to a real 1.. DIY GANGGG.. I would love to learn what u know, cuz I been wanting to build my own house.. put ya boy on
This is crazy !! All the joists are suspended up in the air by two thin posts that are not even braced. A slight wind would collapse the whole structure. You should get more substantial posts in there as soon as possible.
you didn't see the contraption that he built to hold those temps up go back and look at it and if you have done enough construction you will understand.
Idoginak - Forget knocking it over. The problem is the limit to the compressive strength of a small stick of timber used as a supporting post, and whether a slight bow in that timber post will lead to its ultimate destruction, along with everything else up on top that is being supported, including the human who is putting all this together.
I gotta ask this because I have never seen this done are the 2x4 sills poured with the concret and the the plates nailed to it? if that's what i'm seeing shouldn't they be worried about the white 2x4 being in contact with the concrete, would it be better to use treated lumber or better yet a membrane between . I guess i know why the do it it saves a lot just put them in the forms instead of J bolts that is a pain in the ass but iv torn out enough rotten wood in my day touching concrete even pressure treated
Wait, how can you put that much weight on what look like 6"x2" wooden boards and it doesn't appear you've attached them to the posts? Did I hear you call them temporary posts? Would it not be more efficient long-term to cement in a permanent steel pipe with a top plate that can be bolted or tapped into?
Those are actually LSL 2x10" beams I believe (if you are referring to the lumber i think you are) and them doubled up like that would be rated for a few thousand pounds of load. The temporary posts are just to prevent leverage on where their attached to the basement wall. The location of the beam was going to become fixed once he finished the crossmembers, so attaching the one beam to the post wouldn't be super necessary . The foundation appears to have footers for columns, so they'll probably replace the wood with the permeant ones later and just didn't have the hardware at the time , or wanted to wait.
my buddy with 30+ yrs in construction made the mistake of finishing a job solo and endedup stuck dangling 30 ' up an extension ladder hanging by a leg with a compound fracture up-side-down screaming until his leg finally separated. dropping him halfconscious to the concrete floor. he was found the next morning barely alive almost bledout. with a concussion, a broken wrist and the ugliest amputated lower leg i've ever seen.
I will get myself a farm house in a few years build but only the outside the inside will be completely done all by myself :) people are meant to be creative! But nowadays many think when you didn't go to school for it you cant do it😂
@@davidh376 that's how it is sometimes, not everyone will have really good friends. Just people who call you "friend" because they recognize you and act like they know you lol
also just to throw my 2 cents in you can bet and count on the fact that those who you asked for help and didnt help are more than likely going to be the first dirtbags to try and point out any little imperfections or what "they " would have done differently.. fuck them.. The fact that you did this alone just goes to show that you really dont need anyone. I also love doing things alone specially big projects it makes me better at what i do it sharpens my knowledge and makes me not make mistakes i have ran into in the past. all in all it makes you that much better and it also reinforces the fact that you can charge big bank if people ever need you to build or work on something they want. Great job Bro Kudos to you
With all that money you saved on labor you should buy some insulated overalls. I don't care how many hoodies your wearing your making everyone feel cold just watching you.
@@tristanmassie3574 a Lot of engineered products don't do what they claim. The claims don't perform when reality sets in. Solid pine properly installed gets stronger and more dense over time. I'm going with that in the future. That white wood kd crap is a scam too. Ever try to drive a nail into 40 year old pine?
D Green have not nailed 40 Year old pine but in school you learn the point of engineered products are because they don’t shrink/ stronger than regular lumber / timber
OSB joist's very interesting, unheard of here in Ireland. How are they for load bearing capacity? Also did you put them together yourself from 4'x8' osb or does some company manufacture them?
Becoming more popular in the U.S.. Less likely to warp or bow. Comparable in price. Lighter with as good or better load rating depending on manufacturer. Can be used as wall studs instead of 2x6's depending on code and you get a higher overall R value for your exterior walls because more space is filled with insulation instead of wood, which has a poor R-value.
Well it's a rule of thumb for me to never work alone #1 you will get 5 times more done in less time #2 safety #3 sanity and #4 coffee runner- beer on Friday
And if you don't have the money for labor or want it done correctly... not sure your comment contributed anything of use at all. The video is called building a house ALONE

Huge respect to this dude
I'm curious about how the concrete foundation was made. Is there a video on that? (I just found this channel).
Lifes a garden. Ya just gotta dig it
Shouldn’t the sill plate on foundation wall be pressure treated?
yes, if it comes in direct contact with masonry it must be treated.
Yes... but this guy was literally doing garbage work. I mean the materials he was using are terrible That wont last 10 years.
Any idea on how to get the money, the permits, and the time?

isnt it a problem to build during the snow with the wood absorbing moisture? and shrinking later?
Why do you have to do 8:06 ? I know he said something about some sheets but how does it help?
Edit: nvm I guess t was to secure them
the snap line is to get the first row straight the flat blocks are for nailing purposes and the angle blocks are to prevent the trusts from rolling.
I wish I was guided through the entire process of building something just to have that experience.
