      What are the negative effects of creatine?
      Creatine is a relatively safe supplement. However, side effects may include:
      Weight gain because of water retention.
      Dizziness.
      Nausea and vomiting.
      Diarrhea.
      Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis).
      Just so you know.

    The fact that y'all do just about everything yourselves is quite a phenomenal event. From clearing, layout, foundation, framing, etc. Everything except what you know is faster and easier to have done (mainly mechanicals, electrical, hvac, plumbing, plus cabinets) helps y'all so much to maximize time and efforts from start to finish. It's super smart, and hugely impressive to those us who do the same work everyday. Great job!

  • @stflaherty63

    A tree that falls on the ground and has trees grow up from it is called a "nurse tree". Tree fallers are called "bushlers". I live on the Olympic Peninsula in WA State where logging is a major industry.

    Its pretty surreal sitting here watching you burn these huge piles of limbs while the rest of the world is burning up with forest fires. Well, a whole lot of it, anyway. I'm on the "wet" side of Washington state and we've been under a burn ban for weeks. As for cutting the trees, I'm glad you are making use of the lumber from at least one of the trees. I have a huge black maple you can have for free, LOL. Anyway, I may be an old lady, but I enjoy watching you guys making a living out of something that brings you happiness. I know my son used to be an ironworker and he used to love driving past the newer Tacoma Narrows Bridge and pointing to it and saying, "I helped build that." Good feeling.

    I fell for the Calgary power company in the Kananaskis, Sparwood, and good old Banff. That's a good size tree. We don't make a level backcut. It goes down at 35° so if the wind pushes back you have a brace holding it. On the risky ones, the ones that could hit high tension power lines, we roped them off.

    Hey guys - always love your builds and have been watching for years. I saw in the plans you're going with flat trusses over I-joists in the roof. When you get to that portion of the build, I'd love it if you could explain for a second why you went with that choice vs i-joists. I think it's mostly due to the 28' span (I know a lot of i-joists are around 24-25'), but I'd love to hear the reasoning here. Looking forward to this build! It's really similar to our own cedar-sided contemporary/modern house that we'll hopefully be adding structural additions onto ourselves (diy) soon! 🙂

    @bradleybennett6868 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    On level ground, you can use your speed square to estimate where a tree will fall. With one edge of the square level, sight along the 45 degree side until an imaginary line extending from it intersects the top of the tree. Because the speed square is a right triangle, the observer's distance from the tree (plus eye height) equals the tree's height. Tree height, though, is not as important as where the topmost part of the tree will land.
