    Hey guys, great job. Glad you found your saw. Lol awesome teamwork, good idea with running the extension cords I love my generator, but I hated at the same time too building materials that are free are definitely the best

      @exploringmybackyard the generator we have down by the cottage is nice and quiet. Listening to that loud one all day kinda grates on the nerves and doesn't make a good video. Glad Jason thought of it!

    When you build a header the material is supposed to be vertical not horizontal like you built it. The reason for that is it’s suppose to carry the load from up above.

    I was wondering why you built with no floor insulation or vapor barrier. Your foundation probably should of been slightly higher off the ground. Unless the wood is treated it will probably rot quickly. Interesting videos.

      Hello and thank you for your comment! This bunkie is on a massive rock and is off the ground on blocks and gravel. We decided not to insulate the floor but we will be doubling up on the boards and see how it goes this winter. It is a very small space so we are not too worried about. Thanks for watching!
