There has to be a video of the building of the chicken coop 😂
Yes please , I would love to see that build !
I guess in the last 100 years concrete blocks have not changed much!
It's already chicken season
Yes!!!!
Yes!
I still like the idea of a steel beam in the basement for a wide open basement, and it might be more cost effective as well.
I have a metal Ibeam running the full length of my house on metal poles in my basement. House was built in the early 50s and still going strong
That's the only way I'd do this... Half-inch thick cross web box beams.
Y'all must sleep like rocks! The progress you're making is incredible. It would be fun to see actual plans for Roman's chicken mansion. Right now I'm picturing something that looks like a fancy English greenhouse. A Hartley for chickens.😅
Came here to join the chorus of why not install steel beams? Please address,
Did I hear you say the laundry is going to be in the basement? Please rethink that I know you must create a lot of dirty close. Think of little Neavah hauling laundry constantly up and down the stairs.
Growing up in a similar sized home in Nebraska, my mom had the old washer and dryer in the basement for dirty farm clothes and the newer set upstairs for the 'cleaner' clothes. My dad and brothers changed clothes down there every night and took care of the basement loads by themselves.
personally in my arm chair engineer opinion I would replace the main beam with a steel beam,
That old so called "beam" is TINY. His floor joists are TINY, talk about a jello squeeeeeaaak fest home. Oh yea, and pay them by the job, they will work faster and smarter... carrying blocks up the stairs... how dumb do you have to be when you have a window right there you can remove and therefore only have to toss the blocks through the hole and not CARRY your entire body up/down the stairs creating at least 2X the work. Yikes.
@@w8stral The sub-floor sheeting is glued to the joists so it won't squeak. Old floors squeak because they weren't glued down.
No. In theory, yes(short term). Been on thousands of glued down floors. They squeek still, BUT, flooring that is RIGID compared to their peers and have lower spans and less deflection squeek less. Same goes for manufactured joists compared to solid say ~2x12. A manufactured 2x12 will remain dimensionally stable in comparison. For instance living in a house with 2x14 joists and 1&1/8 plywood... glued down. It squeeks like mad. Why? Difference in heights compared to true flat and expansion due to seasons. Meanwhile a 2x10 glued floor with MUCH shorter span, but made from steel beams and 1 &1/8 ply has ZERO squeeks even though it deflects more and is less rigid. In other words it is more than a single failure type. --> same reason you NEVER put ANYthing wood on the outside of your house if you want your paint job to last. Concrete/aluminum are VASTLY longer lasting! WHy? Less expansion contraction and thus paint adhesion is much superior. Ask ANYONE in Colorado up high where the UV is more intense. It is beyond obvious. Any wood painted product looks like crap after 5 years while concrete siding still looks great after 15 years using IDENTICAL paint.
CHeers! @@ordelian7795
Not just one steel beam. How about a spider web of beams?!
Roman and his chickens need merch!!!! 😂😂😂
I’d buy it 😂
Roman is such a riot! 😂😂😂
A quiet riot!
I had a good LOL when he drew a duck on the tape - "It's duck tape now!" :D
We have to see Roman’s chicken coop when he finishes building it. I think it may be nicer than the house!😂
The coop and the house will likely be equally magnificent 😊
Can we please get a mini series when roman builds his 5* chicken resort coop please and thank you! 😊
Glad to see that Roman is saving some of the brick. They can be reused for many projects.
For when the Megalodon comes...
@@digiprez77 lol
I don't think they even make that high-quality thick-walled cinder block anymore. God knows it's a lot heavier, and stronger than today's cinder-blocks.
It's very Smart, we have/had several Hen-Coop and having a Vermin resistent Floor and solid wall for the first foot is extremly nice for Chicken. Were there is open Food for Chicken there a Mice. So having a solid foundation will reduce the Vermins in the Hen House, the reason why so many are elevated.
Right on ! Reuse repurpose and repair! Love recycling! Y'all are doing great 😂
I know Justin and Roman are getting paid. However, they clearly love you, take care of them! Never let anything interfere.
I know you are the Corn Star and all but renovating the family mansion is by far your best content.
Perfect time to install a precast concrete basement entrance to the outside!
That is good idea!
I’m impressed with how religiously you clean the workspace after demolition. It not only makes a cleaner area, but by taking this extra effort you make the area safer.
My simple advice is that in your bathrooms you should either cover the walls where you will put towel bars/rings with plywood and then drywall over it or put in blocking between the studs so that when you hang towel bars that you can always find wood to screw into instead of using anchors. Anchors eventually pull out especially when kids grab the towels.
I used to build and remodel houses years ago. The above is Great Advice.
As a plumbing contractor, 100% agree, block for towel racks and future grab bars around tubs and showers
Allow for electrical inside of vanity cabinet drawers - hair dryer, curling iron,
Sometimes the towel racks are handle bars so they need extra strength. You guys know what I’m talking about…..😂😊
Also block around your windows !
While you are already tearing everything out and going to be digging away on the exterior for drainage, go ahead and add a couple Egress windows! That way you can use that amazing basement for future safe livinging spaces and bedrooms! Looks great and so fascinating to watch the process!
**It amazes me every time you use the dump truck that the sides don't fall off of it! You haul zillions of pounds of stuff in it! Amazing! That is one amazing dump truck!
I can't wait to see the "chicken coop" that Roman builds with recycled materials!
I love watching Roman and Justin! It will be a sad sad sad day once this project is over. Cole you need to build another house or find another project to put justin on after this one so he can stick around so more. Same thing with Roman! These 3 are so entertaining to watch! Got people of all ages and backgrounds coming together just making some wholesome content. Keep it up you 3! ALSO, I'm sorry I forget your name already but whoever is editing these videos thank you! You've made them so special as well. I'm just a business man who runs a tech company but yet the #1 channel I like to tune into is Cole the cornstar! So thank you 4 for people out this amazing content I get to escape the business world and watch. Keep it up guys!
I think the editors name is Cedric
Roman we used cinder blocks and rebar for our coop. It doubled as a tornado shelter if needed. Also easy to clean.
My 2 cents - regarding plumbing for the laundry room. You are going to need two washers and two dryers for the family and one washer one dryer for farm clothes that have farm chemicals and oil/grease. An outdoor shower would be great for all the boys after hot summer days. Keeps a lot of dirt from coming into the house.
I like Speed Queen brand of W/D. Made in USA.
I'm pretty sure he mentioned the laundry would be on the 2nd floor. But also a great idea to have a washer and dryer at the door for work clothes!
I LOVE that old, dependable dump truck.
The basement looks so good all open like that, I hope Cole keeps it an open floor plan if he can.
the open floor plan also promotes good air circulation. Less likely to get musty.
Watching Roman sweep the floor reminded me of something my dad always said to me when cleaning up a job site “it’s called a push broom, not a pull broom”😂
We need a full series of Roman shows.. building his chicken coop.etc. Hopefully him and Juston are being compensated handsomely. This all wouldn't happen without them.❤
It is time for Nava to come over..I still remember when she cleaned up that basement one time..
Thanks Roman and Justin for keeping Cole safe. If he did this himself he would have killed himself months ago. You guys are extremely important for this project and keeping Cole safe. Thanks Again.
I believe the support beams would be better. Make your basement look larger and you can use that basement for many things as the children grow up. Love the fact that you’re still smiling and I bet you’re spending a lot of money well until next time God be with you always and your family blessings have a happy Easter. All three of you.
A ton of people have already said this but I would try to keep the basement more open concept, and in the future, if you want to wall off certain sections you can. Obviously, if the one beam needs support you could add just a few pillars or add a medal I beam to support the house. I love watching your videos and seeing what you are doing. Makes me wish I was a farmer.
I so much enjoy The Corn Star Family, but Right now I'm really enjoying this house restoration. The three of you make this extremely hard work seem like fun!! I love watching all three of you working together!! I know the house will be beautiful!!
Restoration? The only things original are the outer framing and a few joists.
steel i beams would be my go to in this application 3x3x3 footers with rebar and steel post. much easier and will open up the basement for more uses. i do remember in a past video you may have a steel I beam on the farm that would work. save some money right there.
Also they are adjustable as time goes by
Yes, they have them stored in one of the metal buildings.
I beam has to be spec out for the load and span.
Did you guys consider a steel I-beam for the main support beam, that way you could possibly leave an open basement plan?
I believe they will probably use the glue lam beams like upstairs. Besides last video Cole mentioned that he was going to build better footers and a stem wall they could frame up to the floor above.😊
Can I just say, I have watched your channel periodically before and liked it but if being honest forgot I was subscribed,but now it’s the first channel I look for on updates,have to say Cole ,Roman is is great,love his pieces to camera and his banter with Justin and he always is concerned about getting things done right as well as Justin.
Great team when you have to do farm work,you know they both have your back,best of luck in the renovation.loving the videos
Consider adding Support pillars and Support jacks on top instead of a block wall. Then you can build wood walls to separate the basement as desired where support is not needed. there’s a lot of unused space down there and can be turned into livable bedrooms and bathrooms down the road. When you re-cement the basement floor, they have pump trucks to reach the farther away areas with long concrete hoses. Depending on your code, you may need to add gravel base. since you’re already ripping up the floor, it’s a good idea to add plumbing for a bathroom
I lived in two houses with basement bathrooms, and they were the most used in the house.
Especially for when his in-laws move in with them.
@@teret6719or when he is the grandpa and his kids won't let him on the main floor anymore.
Its concrete. Lol cement is used in making concrete.
Unfortunately you can’t make the basement livable space with bedrooms or family rooms in a house that old. There’s no vapor barrier behind the foundation. That wasn’t even really a thing until the late 80’s-90’s for livable basements.
The amount of back breaking physical labor in this job is insane. And impressive you three are getting it done!! Hard workers. Great job guys! 💪🏼👏🏼💪🏼👏🏼
Am I the only one looking forward to Roman’s chicken house build video series!!!!!!
Best part of my day is getting a notification letting me know you’ve uploaded a new video😊 I’m so invested.
I will agree 100%
You read my mind 😂
Me too!
I'm the same.... I need a life! But love these guys!
@g.i.joeheadquarters We got TH-cam we don't need a life lol 😆 😂
You guys are INSANE workers. This has given me a whole new outlook on a few projects I have that seemed overwhelming. After watching you all, I am a little embarrassed because they are nothing like what you are tackling.
I think you have discovered the difference between what we call a cinder block and a concrete block. Keep up the good work, 👍
I love a demolition day, but also love a rebuild day, really enjoying every video, the basement looks so open with the walls down, no more interrogation room, much better
Hey Cole I know this is alittle late but find an old corn crib elevator that doesn't have an wheels under it and slide it in a window. Bust up the blocks and concrete and use the elevator to lift it out of the basement right into the truck save alot of manual labor an back pain. Hope this helps keep up the cool project alot of us are enjoying the process.
My advice for your showers is placing the shower head on a wall that direct the water toward the wall opposite. Make the entrance to this walk in shower on the same wall as the shower head. No more plastic curtains or shower doors, glass or plastic to deal with. I did this for both my showers 30 years ago and am still in love with my showers.
after all the scraps coming from this , Roman should not only have a chicken coop but a chicken coop mansion for his little egg layers
A $7,000 dollar chicken coop mansion🌻Lol.
That poor old truck .that truck deserves tender loving care .
Maybe you can use the broken cinder blocks to start to fill in the well you don't want anymore.
It has to be such a good feeling for Cole to know the core of this house will be solid. I am so very happy he has the resources to this level of restoration
You discovered the difference between a cement block and a cinder block (or hadite). From what I know, foundations should be cement blocks and chimneys should be hadite.
None of this would be possible without super Roman! The guy is a beast.
Cole, you are remarkably upbeat about all the things that need replacing! If you knew before you started what you were going to encounter, would you have just built a new one?
It has been shocking for me to see the poor construction methods used so many years ago on your house. Glad you were willing to tear out what we all cringed at initially and find the unlevel floors, dry rot, lack of insulation and all the other poor construction that was a ticking time bomb. I’m excited to see how this all turns out 😊
Yea, grandpappy cheated out and only got the $7,000 version…..
It's shocking to me that brand new homes are so off square and unlevel...lack of adequate insulation etc.
IT wasn't poor construction back then. That was just the normal.
MUCH LOVE TO JUSTIN!!!
You might want to fill up the old well with some of the rubble /dirt before you haul it all away? As others have stated get one or two steel beams and standard jack post supports. Cut your floor concrete in 24"x24" squares where each jack post needs to go, pour 8-10" deep concrete for footers, they should be 3-4" below final floor level. Since you have trucks and flat bed trailers getting a beam shouldn't be to bad, chain it to a tellehandler fork and slide it in through an end wall. Finally don't forget you need blocking between all those joist every 8' as well as any walls over 8' tall.
Where I live, there are specific rules for the type of materials approved for filling in old wells. You are not supposed to fill them with just any kind of debris, because it has the potential to contaminate the groundwater.
Don't forget about to put in the floor drains in basement.
I love knowing that the videos are from a couple weeks ago and new content is coming with progress done.. keep up the good work. Love the videos.
I'd love to have those blocks for a raised garden....
You fellas are beasts! Great job! And I must confess: I love work like this. I can sit and watch it all day!
Please make a video of the chicken coup construction. Love the way you guys clean up tight after you finish tearing up things. The Three Quicker Picker Uppers.
First Hr Crew!!! Whoop whoop!!! Gosh I can't get enough of this build!
That open basement would be a great family gathering space!
if you have enough head clearance you could dig some pier holes and support the floor with concrete piers, posts and LVL beams and then pour a three inch concrete cap over the existing concrete floor saving a lot of work and making the basement much more open.
They're taking up the concrete floor, so he'll probably have 10 ft ceilings down there.
I would think a steel beam would be more economical and exponentially stronger than that little beam thats in place now.
Great crew, Justin is the heart of this project and Roman is a great asset for Justin. Been there doing demo.
The basement looks much brighter with those walls removed. 👍⭐️
Concrete floors can heave or sag too. You need to put in load bearing footings for support posts.
I'm loving this series I live in a 1920s or 30s house and the window wells are cut with a chainsaw ain't a thing level in that house
Cole the way you are going about the restoration is great. The way you guys are approaching it looks like you have watched Holm's on Homes a few times, if not look at his videos. You might pickup a few things like an basement weep system you are looking for and waterproof systems as well. Great work and tell Roman it's time to move his chicken house to his place.😊
Wowza! Pics please of Roman's chicken palace and storm shelter! I'm loving these videos and the companionship between the three of you. Keep up the good work. ❤
I admire how hard you gentlemen work! Lugging all those blocks up and out of the basement was no easy task!! Keep up the great work 😊
Look forward to you videos. The amazing trio👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I see from your sweatshirt that you live near Williamsburg, IA? I grew up near North English, IA. My high school was English Valley. You’re doing a great job, Cole and crew! My husband and I really are enjoying the renovation process!!
I just have to say that you guys crack me up. Thanks for putting out daily videos.
The dump truck needs some love. ❤. It’s seems to be one of the most used, yet stable pieces of equipment on the farm.
Cole, I'm in my 60's and did this in the 80's we called it getting it.
Glad to see Justin back... well done, you guys are an example of an effective team. Include the chicken coop build if you can?! 🎉
You should get a conveyor belt that goes from the basement to the dump truck. It would save so much time and money and body aches and it would be a faster
Big kudos for making a different intro every time, love watching, from Melbourne Australia
You guys are like the energizer bunny... only quality work. Great Team work.
Wow, 13 minutes ago this was posted. I’m just smh at how this work can get done without the whole house coming down on top of you all. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏be safe
I hope the three of you have a wonderful Easter weekend with your families. God bless you all.
Another hot tip from the Ohio nurse…
Consider installing a fancy , leaded glass, full view, obscured glass, double front door for the 1st floor main entry.
This beautiful treasure of a home, with such a heart warming and cherished history deserves a statement piece of a front door and a brass plate on the exterior siding, by the front with words that honor the hard work and infinite love of your parents and grandparents. Or, something along those lines.
And put it right in the middle of the house leading into your dining room. Get a vinyl door, it'll match the vinyl siding and the future vinyl windows. Make the plaque out of vinyl too with vinyl letters.
Honestly, you don't need to rebuild the walls. Just keep everything open, and just put supports on the beams.... 😃
I'm amazed how that wood-sided stake body (made to haul things like grain, cattle and maybe silage - usually with cross-chains and an endgate for reinforcement) is still holding up in use as a dump truck to support the farmstead cleanup and now the demolition work. 😂
I respect how Roman cares to better his English instead of saying, yeah yeah, or whatever, or u know what i mean.
good to see you're saving the good blocks
The progress you are making is incredible.
It would be nice if you could have a more open basement.
Would you consider having the laundry upstairs instead of the basement?
1:00 I would replace the wall with an iron beam. That will give you far more options in the future on floor layout.
Should have a shoulder support tape or strap on when working. Some kind of braceing to help remind you don't over do it !!!!
I think Juston and Roman should start their own TH-cam channel!! 👏🏻
Cole. I doubt you'll see this, but my wife and i bought an old farmhouse built in the 1870's. I'm currently ripping out the bathroom while watching your videos. I wish i had Roman and Justin's help! Haha. Take care and Happy Easter!
The basement does look nice and wide open this way. 👍
Cole when you demo the concrete floor, rent a conveyor belt to carry the debris from the basement out the window and into the truck !!!! Rent a bigger truck too.
Juston made hitting those blocks out look easy! Such hard work by a great team.
Totally agree with Roman......BETTER GET READY!
I tore my rotator cuff at 15, the next year, I pulled my pectoral minora and it never healed because I never gave it time to. At 24, I had to have surgery to repair it all. My right arm was only able to lift 25 pounds before I would cave in. Please, pal, promise us you're gonna go easy.
Like the way you don’t cut corners. Always interesting😊😊😊po
If you drill holes in a straight line on rocks/ concrete, then use some chisels inepthe homes to spread the concrete out it will break evenly and you can carry it out , for instance, a one foot square of rock or concrete, or whatever you can easily carry out.. also maybe you have a conveyer belt that will take the stuff from the basement out a window to ground level
Ole railroad spikes will work well also as a wedge to separate the sections
I remember the very first video I watched of you , was when the combine popped the tire. I knew then , you was going places. I believe it's been like 4 years now. Maybe longer.
We need a spin-off series on the building of the chicken armageddon ranch thingy.
🐓 😂We NEED to see this EPIC 🐓 coop when it is done!!✅ please and thank you.❤
Never been this early 😮 Love this series!!
So much better on the music volume. Thank you!
You should capture the water you collect in the basement. That "gray water" could be used to water the garden. That is if Nave gets that done.
Lots of other uses for gray water as well.
