  • Hey Gang, Sorry for the wait! This heat is slowing us down quite a bit. Water breaks and shade breaks often. We feel really good about the progress we've made this week and we know we're doing things the hard way, but to save some cash and get a raw building experience is definitely worth it to us! Thanks so much for all of the support on this series!

      I had no choice but to paint my house 3 weeks ago when it got up to 118 in the afternoon in the Mojave Desert - started at 0515 and had to stop around 0900 because once it hits 90 degrees they say you shouldn't be applying paint. What should have taken me 3 days to paint took me 6.

      I worked framing in Modesto. We'd start early and quit at 2 o r 3. I'd go home and lie in cold tub water. (no A/C). Years before that I spent a summer in Canyon Texas laying up a large adobe house. We did the siesta system. SO hard to go back to work after the break!

      What an amazing job you three are doing. Get there earlier just in time for the sun to come up and then decide when to take a long break and restart as the temps peak and start to drop. Will you do the roofing or have a sub come do that?

      I came here to say this, except I worked in the same general area as the Stud Pack house - I was out by the airport.
      We'd literally be on the job at 05:00 and work until about noon, 13:00. Then, we'd knock off, and the second shift crew would start around 19:00 and work until the wee hours of the morning.
      Us new guys would have to work the mornings, and the more experienced guys would work at night.

    Guys, I say this on nearly every video that you're doing a hell of a job. I spent 10 years in commercial construction doing a lot of vertical concrete work and not as much stick framing, so I'm always interested to watch the process. However, as someone who has also investigated dozens of falls in my time as both a State inspector and private sector safety guy, I cannot stress the importance of fall protection enough. Having the scaffold up on the one side is a good start as it lowers the risk of someone going off that end, but those gable ends are fatal falls if anyone goes over.
    I have heard it so many times about the rope systems being uncomfortable to work in and I totally get it. However, there are other systems out there that you can use such as yo-yo's which don't have you stepping over a lifeline. It's great to be comfortable with heights, but all it takes is one second of inattentiveness or lapse in concentration, which you have said comes with the excessive heat. If you want any ideas or have any questions about this stuff, feel free to message me or find a safety outfit near you and they will be happy to hook you up with something that will work for your project. Keep up the awesome work!

    tip... the ZIP roller, has little Z's in it... so for warranty claims, they can see if you rolled it properly. ALWAYS ENSURE YOU ROLL, as the adheisive is preasure activated... thats why you can stick and move it, but once you roll it, shes there forever, in 200 years when they tear down your antique house, the tape will still be there holding the house together.
    But also, not just for warranty, but so you can see vissually what you have rolled and havent and if you are inspecting behind a crew, you can tell if they performed the rolling propperly

    Fellow Texan checking in here; temps of 105-108 in DFW this week, with heat index values ranging from 110-115. It's stinkin' hot! When I can't avoid being out in the heat, I take a wide strip (about 10-12") cut from an old t-shirt or other thin, soft cotton rag, and roll it into a long tube full of ice cubes, then tie it very loosely around my neck (kinda like a Boy Scout neckerchief). The multiple layers of cloth keep it from melting too fast, and the cool damp cloth against your neck (think carotid artery and juggler vein) really helps to keep you cool. Take a break every two or three hours to wring out the water and put fresh ice cubes in. Yes, your shirt will eventually get wet, but not as much as you think and you won't care. Stay hydrated and cool, my friends! And congrats again on the 500k milestone! I've been a subscriber for years now, and have really enjoyed watching you develop your construction and production skills!

But on the whole, I'm just proud of you guys. This is NOT easy work, by any stretch of the imagination, and you all are working VERY smart, to make sure you CAN do it with just three people, and to make sure the three of you are as safe as you can be while doing it - AND taking your time. It's great to work fast when you are able to, but it's better to work smart than hard. May take a little longer, but ensures no mistakes and minimizes the possibility of injuries. Doing it right matters more than anything else. You guys are doing fantastic.

    Wood framed houses are quite rare in my country, but after 25 years of renovating my own properties and each time moving to a bigger, better home, I am selling my house for the last time and buying a property near the coast to retire.
    I already have bought 3 acres of land, I have planning permission ready and a concrete slab is ready. As soon as the cash hits my bank I am ordering a prefabricated sectional timber home from Germany. We will have to live in a mobile home for 3-4 months while the order is built and shipped 1000's of miles. I still have to install bathrooms and kitchens, but thankfully the rest is taking care of by the manufacturer and the house only takes 4 days to build once it arrives.

    For a $100.00 you can buy a remote control cable hoist to lift your zip sheets up and set them in place. This saves a lot of time and frees up a person to do other work on the job.

    I remember when you guys announced this project and I was asking "Why would you move to Texas?" Now you're stuck there, so it's gotta be "Why would you not plan for Texas to keep on being Texas?" You've got the electrician coming in, I'd strongly suggest that you make plans for the power grid to fail - make sure your electric service includes a transfer switch or something to support an emergency generator. Take whatever other steps are going to be needed for hurricanes, freezing temps, the power grid to fail, etc. Basically, all the things that have killed or endangered people in your neighborhood in the last 5 years. Keep up the great work, guys!

      @@MosinMan76254 Building the way they are doing it you can make a continuous zip envelope around the building so much easier than having to deal with the gaps between the truss overhangs. Once the envelope is sealed you can screw on some "tails" for your overhang (very similar to the gable end ladders). On the Build Show channel they have a good video on this technique.

      In RI it’s 5 feet from property line, regardless of neighbors fence since very few fences are actually surveyed before going in and seldom run the actual property line. And it’s 15’ minimum if it’s any living space! So that in-law above the garage would mean it would have to be 15’ from property line if in Rhode Island. But we are a small state with weird rules anyway lol. Great comment Cheryl

      They will likely add in the overhang, nailed to the studs. This is how modern building are made air tight, by NOT having rafters hanging over walls.. but rather a structure is built OUTSIDE the air tight envelope of the house.

    Hello, Stud Pack I love watching your build of Jordon's dream house. My Dad decided in 1961 to put on an addition to his 1951 post-war prefab home for vets, built by Western Connecticut Builders. It was a 3 bedroom, kitchen and living room one bath home.
    The addition was two car garage, bedroom, office, bath, playroom, and dining room. It was actually bigger than the original house. With the help of neighbors and family, he almost finished it. I was around 12 at the time and remember hammering away with my Dad. No nail guns, lasers, or youtube, just his knowledge from being an architect and DYI guy and Mechanics illustrated books.
    I got out of the Air Force in 1971 and ended up buying the unfinished house. Again with his help, we put in sheetrock, electrical, plumbing, and heating.
    I sure wish Stud Pack was around back then it would have been a huge help.
    So when I watch you guys building that house I think back on the good time I spent with my Dad building that addition
    Thanks, Stud Pack!

  • @allsaintstulsa
