I can't believe Jamie said that . . . totally caught me off guard😆 As for the case of, "which hole do you want me to use"? This is the sign of a real man who is genuinely thoughtful. It's best to check with the owner before you attempt insertion. However, when offered with the option Jamie raises, it's best to take your time and leave no hole unfulfilled!😉
Your messages on the wall brought back an incident in my home! My house is over 100 years old ...... Brick built with wet plaster walls. When we stripped the wallpaper off the hall it showed the distemper painted on the original plaster. Times were hard then so they used newspaper as lining paper. The newsprint had transferred onto the distemper so although the wall was now bare plaster it was filled with print. One of the headlines was Charlie Chaplain coming to Manchester UK!
It seems like a great idea to have the disposal switch in the kitchen be a different color, and red makes it even better. Particularly because there will be two other switches next to it. Prudent, not paranoid.
Think now if you want any receptacles in the floor for lamps, lift chairs for old age, and kitchen island power. I wish we had some of those things now.
I like the way you are filling your house with love (through the sayings you are writing on the walls). Nobody will ever see them after they are covered, but you will always know the love is there.
My wife and I started watching ya'll for canning tips. We now do pretty good at canning. Next thing was getting egg chickens and search again went to ya'll. Our coop is almost done and we will have baby chicks mid July. :-) We already had a pig (Ali) but he's now a member of our family. We really enjoy the videos and the 'writings on the walls' is a cool touch and thought provoking. Thanks from our family to yours. Keep Smiling!
Love the quotes on the walls take still photos of each so one day when the house is done there is a record of it all. You guys sure work at such a high rate of speed🤣🤣🤣
I agree, but there's no such thing as still photos anymore. Everyone takes a ''pic'' with their phone and then it's lost when the phone dies. I miss the 35mm days when one would take pictures, have them developed and then put them in an album for all to see.
Love the fast motion bits & the way the sound gets silly. Oh and the music coordination! You make tedious work seem so entertaining :D So happy to see the progress. I especially think it's cool you can be working indoors while it's storming outside (and you're nice and dry!). Feelin' homey!!!
Rolling scaffolding so you can work standing on a platform and less trips up and down when moving between areas to work in a line. Harbor freight has one around $200 and can often find it with a 20-40 off coupon.
I would not shove a metal tool into the wire channel lest you might nick it. I have always used a paint stir stick as a pushing tool in this case. I have also used RC cars to pull strings attached to wires to get thru tight spaces. Another trick is to pull wire thru a pvc chase, attach a ping pong ball to a rope and the rope to the wire. Attach a shop vac to the end of the pipe and suck the ping pong ball thru the tube and the string attached to the cord goes along, and it goes mighty fast.
When someone tears down this house hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years from now, no matter what social system is in place, they'll get a big dose of solid advice from the writing on the wall.
are you planning on doing some data cable runs? Some Cat6a to the general location of your future wireless access points ( you probably need 2 in a house like that, one for the basement area and one for the upstairs), plus 2 to you office area, and a couple to where you tv or tvs will be would be all you really need. Of course I am an IT fanatic and would wire cat 6a to every room with multiple jacks. Plus if you plan on security cameras, it makes deploying PoE cameras inside and outside your home easier.
Again, exciting to see how far you've come... started watching back on the original property... tried to order via your link to Ariat but all my sizes are sold out 😏. Smiles and blessings...
I saw all those coils of loomex. I get my loomex on 500 foot spools. I can also get them on 250 foot spools and 150 foot spools. There is no need to uncoil the loomex before pulling it. Much easier to work with.
OMGosh, what fun.......choosing the electrical outlets' locations! Just a thought, due to the pandemic, there is a backlog of orders for appliances. Might want to consider ordering yours now. It seems the lead time is over six weeks. YIKES.........😨😲😬
Hi guys! Lookin' great in there, and we're SO excited for you to move in soon! Jeremy, I'm just curious... why did you opt to use a chainsaw instead of a circular saw? Was it because of the blade/cut size, with a circular being only about 1/8" and a chainsaw being about 1/2"? You've put ICF on our radar. :)
Yes the kerf (width) of the chainsaw blade is perfect to tuck wire into and more control over the beginning and end of the cut. No weird rounded part at the start and stop point.
I imagine the the guys on the Pure Living For Life channel are kicking themselves for not thinking of that trick. They used a hot knife in their ICF garage/basement.
Quick question for you, Have you thought about running Ethernet lines? Now is the time to run them everywhere you think you might need them. Also think about for cameras.
Not sure if I saw it correct but you put smoke detector boxes inside the bedrooms? Normally they should be in passageways outside a bedroom area. You want the detector to pick up smoke before it enters a bedroom. Keep up the good work.
Are you doing a hard wired alarm system ot wireless ??? You don't need to answer if you don't want to ... 😎 Love the yee haw then right into circus music ... Or was that three dog night ... "When you have your choice of holes" ... 🙊
At 9:44 you show a smoke detector box but I noticed some metal boxes to the right that are up on the side of the joist. What are they for and why up there where they’ll be covered?
What sort of disposal are you planning to use? I thought it wasn't wise to use a disposal with a septic system. I saw a model years ago that used an injected enzyme to break down the scraps faster in the septic tank, but never heard much about it afterwards.
Disposals are not wise to use with any type of waste pipes. The debris will always leave some buildup and could cause a clog. They should only be used for the occasional scraps that get missed and end up going down the drain, JMO.
A little bit after 7:00 I think I hear rain. If it is rain, how is that possible I hear it? Did you have the basement doors open? Ooh! Getting closer to finishing. Yahoo! Well done, y'all!
@@Guildbrookfarm - Well, that makes sense! 🤣 Early senility I am claiming on this one. I'll be 49 this year. Feeling the top of the hill coming. 🤣🤣🤣 Of course you had the windows open! Duh! It's like warmer weather now, huh?!? >shaking head at self< 🤣🤣🤣
Never seen anyone use a chainsaw on ICF blocks till your demo out by your truck, interesting. I've only seen friends using hot knife method, talk about stink lol. Is the odor reduced using chainsaw method ? Looking forward to the next video
Regarding the ceiling fan bxs , you've got them mounted so they're flush to the joists , not allowing for drywall. Are you going to use mud rings or box extensions ?
@@Guildbrookfarm must be the camera angle , thought that might be the case . You've given so much thought to everything. Keep up what your doing , BTW what's the news on the Garden
what happens when you cut across, effectively cutting the internal studs, but then need to mount something to those studs, like cupboards or a load bearing shelf?
I am not an electrician and do not know all the wiring regulations. But it is not accepted practice in the UK to run cables in walls other than either horizontally or vertically from an outlet or switch. This gives a fighting chance of preventing a future home owner or electrical contractor or an idiot drilling, screwing or nailing into the wall and hitting a live wire. Depth of chase and/or mechanical protection (metal capping) might mitigate the risks to some extent.
Are you going to run a circuit to the top ridge beam in the open room with the vaulted ceiling? A chandelier perhaps? Or ceiling fan? If you already did I guess I missed it.

If the wires get hot enough to melt the "Styrofoam" you have a whole lot of hurt heading your way! In the real world with correctly sized wires it will never happen! ..... If it does you have the detectors! ;0)
On the sidebar for this video was a couple links to your prepper pantry videos. These were my intro to your channel (seems so long ago), but they were wonderful. Any chance you'll ever return to these?
Now is the time and it's super simple do low voltage toe kick lights in bath rooms or even under cabinets lights in kitchen as task lighting looks nice .keel ul the hard work your place is turning out great. 👍
We love the quotes and me and my 10’year old stopped and rewound so we could read them all. Our favorite is the emergency room one because every time him and his 6 year old brother do something dangerous I’m constantly yelling, “we aint goin to the UCC” (Urgent Care Center )!! Lol.

That’s pretty cool 👍🏻😊
That’s flipping cool
That's a great idea! Now I need a red garbage disposal switch. That would keep me from turning it on thinking it's the light switch.
It seems like a great idea to have the disposal switch in the kitchen be a different color, and red makes it even better. Particularly because there will be two other switches next to it. Prudent, not paranoid.
Jaime's "That's what she said!" cracked me up so hard! Thank for the laugh Jaime. 🤘🤘
Even your storms are a beautiful view! You chose the perfect spot for your home!!
Think now if you want any receptacles in the floor for lamps, lift chairs for old age, and kitchen island power. I wish we had some of those things now.
Jamie I heard the “that’s what she said” your a bad bad girl ! Can’t wait for the next quote, thanks to both of you for the vid.
When you find out the real love you start build the foundation of your dream! You guys are a beautiful family! God blessings!
I like the way you are filling your house with love (through the sayings you are writing on the walls). Nobody will ever see them after they are covered, but you will always know the love is there.
Thank you to you both for putting my inscription on the wall! I think we are forever connected!
Jeremy You & your wife penmanship are superb. Boy! I wish I could be half as good & also write in a straight line.
18:08...Jaime does her best Michael Scott impression😆😅🤣
I love the depth gauge setup you added to the chainsaw. That's genius.
My wife and I started watching ya'll for canning tips. We now do pretty good at canning. Next thing was getting egg chickens and search again went to ya'll. Our coop is almost done and we will have baby chicks mid July. :-)

SO satisfying watching the wire install. So organized and clean looking! Reminds me I need to organize my computer cords behind my desk. :-)

Yeah it can get tedious

Appreciate the humor, I don't know that everyone will. It looks great! You are bound to be very pleased.
I am so excited for all of you. Always looking forward to the next video 👏
Gee, a red switch for the disposal sounds pretty practical to me.
What a great guy teaching as he goes.
Love those Jeans Jamie.
WOw..way easy than drilling and running cable for ever in strange places... excellent...starting to warm up to this ICF stuff... BB
Jaime is a fast writer.
Wowzers... looks great

The rain here in NC is so bad this year everything is soggy. Stay safe.
Thanks for the video! You are making great progress! I'm amazed at how much you know about house construction - you can do everything!
"...cuz Jaime's paranoid." 😂😂
Paranoid... Just another name safety cautious.
Or perhaps premonious?
It only took PLFL 32 videos to wire a basement kitchen and bath, LOL !! These guys do it in 1, maybe 2 ?

Works like a charm 👍🏻

Quick question for you, Have you thought about running Ethernet lines? Now is the time to run them everywhere you think you might need them. Also think about for cameras.
I’ll be pulling all that cable soon also.

Not sure if I saw it correct but you put smoke detector boxes inside the bedrooms? Normally they should be in passageways outside a bedroom area. You want the detector to pick up smoke before it enters a bedroom. Keep up the good work.
woolfysdad actually both
Code where I live says "inside" the bedrooms.
Inside all bedrooms and outside in the halls to the bedrooms.
Don't forget power to the island.
We’ll coil it up in the joists below until it gets built, then pull it up through.
I’m a fan of air switch for GD.
Way cleaner look for sure

Thanks!
At 9:44 you show a smoke detector box but I noticed some metal boxes to the right that are up on the side of the joist.
What are they for and why up there where they’ll be covered?
LED can drivers
I've got a Mason electrical contractor (different one) up here, too. And '998' is a telephone prefix here. I just had to "google" it.
You guys are going to need walkie-talkies to talk to each other throughout the building soon.
Yeah the echo is bad

Ours is only for the few things that can’t be composted.
Don't think have ever seen a bathroom with to many electrical outlets.

Is it too late to add a rain water system?
what happens when you cut across, effectively cutting the internal studs, but then need to mount something to those studs, like cupboards or a load bearing shelf?
Nothing

No. Haven’t run any ceiling circuits yet either.
@@Guildbrookfarm Sorry, I guess I wasn't watching as closely as I should have.
💞
was it hard to find an electrical guy that was ok with you doing part of the work ?
Nope. He was recommended by another tradesman. We work together and get it done and I can save some money. 👍🏻
Who else here is struck by some of the comments on the walls. Can we get a short video of them all before they're covered up....
Yes, that would be a good idea.
You can find pics of them in the link in the description
No please, this is not a virtue signalling show, if you turn it into a virtue signalling show I will unsub ... DON'T DO IT :O
