It’s the beginning of another adventure building a home start to finish with the Perkins Brothers and Crew!! As usual we are perched on a remote mountain top in the the Great Smoky Mountains, which poses it’s own unique challenges for construction.
On this episode we Begin the actual construction by digging the footings! You never know what you’re going to run into up in the mountains and on this one we run into a lot of rock!

For me, the ideas in this Ryan's Shed Plans were a starting point for building different sheds th-cam.com/users/postUgkxn5Hu39f8DPIFYfBbaiOSis3qfw0nqoFp Ryan's gives ideas that allow an individual to draw nicest conclusions into the design and building of his or her own shed.
No shoring in that pier foundation hole,which is deeperthan five feet, YOWZA! There was death here in Summit County, CO because of a a trench cave-in.
That is terrible… it was not very deep, he was crouching down to make it look way deeper for the video. Was supposed to be funny but I guess the jokes on me now… thanks
Jackhammers work really well to loosen up hard ground and works pretty good for rock as well lol. But really no joke they work really good with the spoon attachment for breaking hard ground.
I see Jamie was using the "safety squints" when chipping that rock! 🤣
I did get a piece of rock in my eye right then… glasses on next time!
@@jaimeperkins9606 That sucks man. My coworker and I have been tearing out tile recently and I asked if he needed some glasses. His reply " nah, I'll just use my safety squints." It was hilarious 😂
The Houzz Pro software is very impressive. Photos on a job site to the homeowner says it all. It's a great way for them to track your progress and you track getting paid. So sorry to see Jason blurred out in the catalogue. He is such a character. It could only happen to him. Looking forward to watching this build develop. Thanks from Canada.
All of Erik’s talents coming together producing superb vids and building great homes
Now that was a good show! It was very apparent you do not like to beat up your equipment.
Guys use lime. Like brick mortar lime. If it rains it cakes into the ground and you won't lose any lines
When you build houses you become a JACK OF AĹL TRADES AND YOU LEARN TO DO IT ALL I LOVE DOING IT ALL BECAUSE ITS SOMETHING DIFFERENT EVERY DAY FROM START TO FINISH. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK GUY'S
Jaime, you're a great boss and a KIND MAN!! Handing out gifts for the BOYS!
Hey thanks, I have such a great group of guys to work with!
Seriously, it’s just the smallest gestures like that that can go such a long way for morale. I couldn’t even get my old boss to cover my gas driving between job sites lol.
Love your work guys..
I'm in Thailand and had my uncle in-law build my "retreat" in the hills..
I only wish they marked out, levelled, dug footings as you have. They made hard work of it all unnecessarily.
Now i get to watch another 20+ week project - yay for me..
Keep up the good work .

Wow, that Houzz Pro seems like a great idea. Good to have this "rocky" part of the job in the rear view mirror!
I checked it out, cool features just that they come with a price tag. Great for larger companies I would say, but not so much the crews with 2-3 total employees.
This is my favorite part. Bringing it out of the ground baby.
This project will be a tight squeeze! Excited to see how ya'll will pull it all off.
Cool time lapse on the foundation layout.
You can say this is a rocky start on your next build. Looking forward to another great build. Always inspiring guys love your work.
Nothing like a 'bedrock' solid foundation!
Fresh Perkins! Let’s go!
Great job 👍
Be kind to one another. Stay safe. Love to all
In México builders use hydrated lime to mark footings, it sticks to the ground very well and its visible even after some heavy rain.
Looks like Jay has been using the KEEPS !! Way to support the show!🤪
Happy Birthday Erik!!
Interesting to see the business side of things also!
You guys need to make a shirt for Jason that say's "I told you Bro"... LoL. Great videos guys. Keep it up...thanks
Can’t remember if I’ve said this before but the best thing about pbb is that they drink soda water. Love it.
That looks like a really nice building site.
Happy birthday Eric! We share today as a birthday, although I'm turning 23 and you just hit the ripe old age of 28 😉
Think he really looks 55 👍‼️‼️
Happy working and safety first
I had a septic system with the leach field above the tanks and a pump, it was a nightmare of repeated issues. Hope your's fares better.
I am having one installed like that right now. Not super excited about it.
Fighting gravity is not a good idea.
Really appreciate the detailed info about depths you dig.
Self raising flour will mess with your grade, It is better to use plain flour. ;-)
Pro tip of the day: if you gonna use flour for the job ,,get it from grocery store or your wife will be mad at you...
Strange how self-raising flour from UK becomes self-rising flour in the US. I'm in a quandary as to which is more accurately descriptive.
I was confused by that too 😐
Jason always gets the short end of the stick 😂😂😂 but he's a dang good sport and one hard worker. 💯
Your lucky you only go down a foot. Here in illinois we go down 3’ minimum sometimes 4’.
Would you look at those beautiful views I mean wow, some place for a house
They did Jason dirty!
Thanks for the insight into the business side of building.
Man . . . the info, music, editing, and chemistry in all your videos are so good.
I always use rising flour with uneven ground. let it rise for a few hours and you have a level ground
Hilarious! I love it
@@jaimeperkins9606 Thank you sir!
I TOTALLY "L O V E" U GUYS WORKING TOGETHER "RELASHIONSHIP " BIG,BIG ENCOURAGEMENT FOR ME THANKS GUYS KEEP UP THE BONDING ANG DOING AN AWESOME BUILDING,EXSPLAING WONDERFUL JOB LUV U GUYS
I love wathing this, I'm making my way through litterly all your videos, but I know nothing about construction. So just wanted to say thank you eric for explaining this part a little bit slower and clerar this time than the houses before. This time i got it :)
This build is going to be awesome.
Buy a bag of lime. Great for setout. Won't wash away in the rain like paint.
I'm about to start a little project, and most of the work I will need to do I've learned from your videos, thanks for sharing this knowledge.
I'm new to your channel guys and i always binge watch every building videos you got.. I learn a lot of tips and tricks in each video.
I think I would name this build "Rocky Top Hide-away"
Now just to see them all playing banjos and eating corn from a jar
Actually, the line of the song says "they get their corn from a jar" Meaning they are drinking Corn mash Moonshine.
@@jackdanulsprime2077 I’m aware, but probably not best practice to drink on the job. So PG version for them. I probably should’ve clarified in my original comment though.
We use athletic field marking lime for marking our footings. About $8 for 40 pounds here in central NC.
Awesome as always!
Thanks for sharing
Loving the series!
Another Perkins Palace!
Good going, lads.
Keep up the good work.
Really excited for this series. Found you guys mid way through the Nanthahala retreat and binged the whole series. Good luck with this one boys!
Greetings from UK. Love your videos
Its a good start. very excited to see next week's episode.
Anyone else check TH-cam every day for these videos....
Am I the only one that would be worried that my septic tanks will be in that canyon during a heavy rain? 🤣😂
Good idea with the flour, just hope it doesn't rain. I used to use concrete dust to do the same job, would cost a fortune now. !!!!! Luv the vids, good crew to work with. Keep them coming.
TELL RAY "THAT'S ONE WAY TO DO IT " YEA BABY
Need a baseball field line striper!... and a bob cat with the jackhammer attachment. Miserable digging conditions
Happy birthday Erik !
This is kinda like where I live but instead of shale, it's river rock for about 30 miles in every direction 😂 as a landscaper I can tell you it has been hell on my back and on my shovels.
"Rock" looks very similar where I live and it really is annoying to dig. If it is very deep you can work with a hammer, but in the middle it absorbs vibration and you just have to take you time. But the worst thing is that it is very unstable...live it on the sun and cold for two years and it basically disintegrates into soil, so don't plan on any vertical walls to stay vertical for long.
Good stuff, guys. Shout out to the Laura Lynn brand of flour. Ingles needs to sponsor y’all.
in vermont we use the bedrock ass our foundation. We drill and pin works great . keep it up ill keep watching
We all watched this, Ray makes your channel work ❗❗ One question:Why if building for 30 years, you did not get a larger excavator or a jack hammer when you are already on the site ❓❓‼️
Well, we didn’t really expect it to be this hard… and trucking in a “large machine” would be more expensive.
@@jaimeperkins9606 You can afford it 😀
It is nice to see you guys do it all.
Thank you HOUZZ PRO! Thank you Perkins Brothers for all you do and introducing us to the great sponsors
Hey from Cherokee County. Love your content. I grew up in a builders home. Watching y’all brings back a lot of memories of when it was my brother and I working with our dad.
Have y'all used a rock saw trencher to get through rocks that are too big to come out? We used them to trench for sprinkler systems in the Fossil Ridge area north of Fort Worth. They get it done but literally sawing through giant rocks is sllllooow.
That sounds fun to watch
Kombucha, yes!!!!
Tiger Teeth for that kind of rock would make that much quicker if you don’t want to rent a hammer. They make them for those size buckets and rental company will usually have them. Put on every other tooth and save some time and the headache you’ll get from beating on that rock
PRO TIP!!!
Awesome video series, thank you gents!
Great master builders, fantastic job great to see.
Tumbs up if they should do a entire building series talking only in metric system😅💪
Nah
great idea with the flour as a chalk marker! Although given the wheat prices these days and the lumber prices it is becoming more and more expensive to build a house.
Laughing and learning 👍✌
Can't wait for this build series, and the big one that you and your bro is planning to build.
Explosives? I kid. But seriously, this channel is addictive. Better than anything on HGTV.
Great information on how the foundation gets started! We'll be doing our retirement home in Prescott in a couple of years so I love seeing what's in store for me!
Is excavating so precise shapes easy? I always think I would struggle with it but you guys make it seem easy, even digging through solid rock 👍
It’s really not that hard… like playing a video game. You could do it
Dude flour for marking paint? Genius!
Excited to see how you all will pull it all off.
Jason complaining about being blurred a bit, but he looked buff. Just tell him they had to photoshop him blurred because he outshined everyone else. That should calm him down. lol
I know budget is always a deal but a hydraulic hammer attachment would have been a must going in for me knowing how much rock was there to begin.
i find it good to have a quick hitch bucket attachment on the machine to change the buckets when digging in hard ground. using a smaller bucket can be faster to dig then the bigger bucket to clean out the trench
I thought with the time-lapse and the self rising flour maybe we could just watch the foundation grow right before our eyes!
Happy holidays everyone at Perkins bros! Do you guys ever sub out the foundation digging when it gets tough or is it really better doing it yourself?
We really like doing it ourselves…we are not above bringing in help though..
Thanks for sharing the extra information about Houzz Pro. Nice work as always!
"You got 4wheel drive today?" What a Ford question to ask.
"I am here in my office. Also known as my bedroom." Classic.
Can you find a smaller desk?
Yup… haha
That was brutal digging.
A new Projekt in the Mountains. All from Team here. Jamie hav Shoping have Massbands and a Crampe to buy. Then make all the Plan of the Project on the Place. The Excavator have problems with the Stone ground. Jamie make it with the Crampe and to glide the Peak from Excavator. Jay play Mole. All worken and make Fun. The video show what all is to make before Construction beginn. Greeting 🇦🇹
This reminds me of one of my worst jobs. I spent two entire days trying to dig before getting a jackhammer. My mattock was bent completely backwards by the end of that one. lol
Wow that seems like such a tight spot to drop a septic tank right next to the slope of the hill. Wonder about the longevity of that site with erosion etc ..looks so precarious
Son geniales sus proyectos, pero de verdad le agradeceríamos que pusieran los subtítulos en español, por lo menos para entenderles algo ! Los vemos desde Chile!
looks like this will be a fun build
