Well for someone who says he is not a carpenter you did good work, I have put up a few dry walls and I couldn't have done any better. What I like about your channel Mike is it's different every time, you keep me interested. 👍👍👍👍👍
Been here since your first video and I'm definitely not going anywhere. I don't comment very often but just wanted to say I'm glad you're back and everything is going good. Keep up the great work Mike and thanks for sharing whatever you have time to share. Blessings to you and your family always.
I remember when you removed the truck steps, you said both you and your wife were kinda tall. The first video passenger is your cute tiny cousin, struggling to get in. Lol Enjoy your vids, Mike 😉😎
One thing you learn as you do more carpentry is that not much will stay perfectly level overtime because houses tend to move with the ground. And some move more than others.
well Mike if the temporary CEO of AMW Services Fred trusts you ( he will be COO of AMW Services once the newly born CEO is old enough to take on his corporate responsibilities haha ) and the mini cousin trusts you with your work you did its all good, big thumbs up Mike it looks great you did a good job today and it helps out your cousin too so i am sure there wont be any coal in your Christmas stocking this year and maybe Fred will get some treats in his stocking to enjoy this Christmas since he does such a good job always too lol.
i watch all the ads to support you in a way mike. theres was one time whhere youtube ask me what i thought about your channel & i checked all the positive boxes.
The only problem with doing a good quality job for family, is that you more or less sign yourself up for more work down the line. hahaha. Good on you to help take care of your family!
Why is everyone hating on eric in the comments. If you dont like him dont watch. Hes his own person let him learn from his own mistakes. Yall are something else. Way too invested in this.
Why you hating on people hating on someone. 90% of it IS valid. And constructive criticism. It's the internet. If people see you do something, expect to be called out.
Hey! Im not sure if you care of not but I believe those floor plates should be the floating style.... Since the basement floor and the floor joists move independently from eachother, its best to do a double bottom plate with a 1.5 inch gap between them... Then you pound a very large nail through them and remove the 2x4 spacer... Then they float on those nails.. You just dont screw or attach anything to the very bottom plate, except itself to the slab. Cheers! If you want to lookup what i mean just google "how to install a floating wall system"
Not sure if it’s the same in Wisconsin but where I’m from the walls in basements have to be a floating wall. Glad to see you got treated lumber for the bottom plate. You guys should do the electrical first if she’s adding outlets in the new wall.
@@daaneel well you have a bottom plate on the ground with anchors in it. Then about 8 inches off the ground is where your “floating wall” starts. You gotta hammer in big spikes to hold the wall to the bottom plate.
@@P4p4Smurf Haha it’s so funny how quick people turn on you for not using the correct terminology. Don’t you dare call a reciprocating saw a sawzall! 🤪
Great video. Much better than watching someone using bungees to secure a cheap tarp on their expensive truck. Mike, I really hope someone explained to him he’s going to ruin his paint and causing a ton of moisture to be trapped in his truck.
cant believe Eric posting 20+ minute long video of him buying tarp and wrapping his truck, like how did he think that would make a good video in his head.
I'm not a carpenter either, I just know what works and what doesn't. She really needs to replace that garbage plastic dryer vent tubing with the metal one. Seen videos of people lighting them on fire, they burn surprisingly well.
Mike pleeaseeeee dont make a swuare line then cut with ur square do one or the other … also for the ends of the wall near the duck u should have ran a full stud down on both sides then u just fill in the middle
Hi Mike, couple questions. How tall are you? And is Wisconsin as flat as it looks on cam?. Nice job on the wall you didn't over think it like I see a lot of people do.
Mike's intro music feels like when the main character in a horror movie realizes they are in a horror movie.
It really scares me
I was just about to comment he needs to change the opening music lol scares me every time.
I think it matches his truck blowing smoke rather well lol
I bet his favorite tv show is American horror story lol
It epic next idea is make a horror skit with Ryan Tomich, Big Ray, Eric
Well for someone who says he is not a carpenter you did good work, I have put up a few dry walls and I couldn't have done any better. What I like about your channel Mike is it's different every time, you keep me interested. 👍👍👍👍👍
A few drywalls 😂😂😂🤣 scary
Been here since your first video and I'm definitely not going anywhere. I don't comment very often but just wanted to say I'm glad you're back and everything is going good. Keep up the great work Mike and thanks for sharing whatever you have time to share. Blessings to you and your family always.
Thanks for watching!

Enjoy your vids, Mike 😉😎
You need a floating wall brother in the basement! Well, here in Colorado it’s code. Glad to see you back brother. God bless you!
You can tell she's a great person.
Wow the first good channel that came from victory. Good job Mike.
Mike, good work! I like your channel, can’t wait till you get to build your house on your new land.
You are becoming quite the handyman, Mike. Can't wait to see how you expand your business in the future.
At least you had a nice warm work area Mike 👍
So cool to help family🙏🏻 your a skilled young man Mike. I bet you can’t wait to show your lil man all the tricks to the trades. 😇
i'm a small business owner in window cleaning in germany. you impress me everyday 🙂 keep going with your videos! greetings.
Thank you! Will do!
Hey Mike, just wanted to take time to thank you for the videos. Been here since day one and will keep watching. Much love from Brownsville, Texas.
Thank you for the support!
5:47, that was a sweet scene. Looked like a land border crossing as the gate went down.
Well done Mike.
That was cool of you helping out your Cousin and you did a great job. . .
Hi Mike and Fred. Good on you helping fam!
One thing you learn as you do more carpentry is that not much will stay perfectly level overtime because houses tend to move with the ground. And some move more than others.
Sorry ass carpenters say that
mike does it all…well done 👍🏻
Hey Mike, love the videos. What do you do to survive the winter financially. Maybe it could even be a video idea?!
Great job Mike!! Your family is very lucky to have you!
Mike the magic man! Gooood work👏😎
Glad to have you back consistently Mike!
Mike has the best intro music & intro ever
Good job..always pressure treated on floor...I do this stuff for a living..love it!!!

Amazing video!
Great job Mike
Yep, you do nice work Mike. Have a fun week! Peace
Thx Mike. I really like your video’s.
well Mike if the temporary CEO of AMW Services Fred trusts you ( he will be COO of AMW Services once the newly born CEO is old enough to take on his corporate responsibilities haha ) and the mini cousin trusts you with your work you did its all good, big thumbs up Mike it looks great you did a good job today and it helps out your cousin too so i am sure there wont be any coal in your Christmas stocking this year and maybe Fred will get some treats in his stocking to enjoy this Christmas since he does such a good job always too lol.
Love the new camera view in your truck
Good work Mr Holmes
Vertical level is called plumb
If it’s a bed room it needs egress
i watch all the ads to support you in a way mike. theres was one time whhere youtube ask me what i thought about your channel & i checked all the positive boxes.
Thank you for the support!
Wall turned out great man!
Great work Mike🤙🏽
Nice job Mikey! Good guy
Nice to see something different on this channel.. man of many trades!
Not a carpenter, but try to be once in awhile. Thanks for that screw tip where you held the 2x4. Good idea.
Allow for drywall???
Your cousin was a great sport.
The only problem with doing a good quality job for family, is that you more or less sign yourself up for more work down the line. hahaha. Good on you to help take care of your family!
God bless mike 🙏❤️

I live just on the other side of the block from your cousin. Small world!
For that basement wall single bottom plate always I would go with a single top play this well and no redheads just let it anchors
You drilled right into asbestos floor tiles to put your sleeve anchors in.

Hey good trick with that screw on the other side of that stud!
Working alone I come up with some creative ways to help me out haha
Not sure if it’s the same in Wisconsin but where I’m from the walls in basements have to be a floating wall. Glad to see you got treated lumber for the bottom plate. You guys should do the electrical first if she’s adding outlets in the new wall.
how do you make it floating? no anchors in the ground?
@@daaneel well you have a bottom plate on the ground with anchors in it. Then about 8 inches off the ground is where your “floating wall” starts. You gotta hammer in big spikes to hold the wall to the bottom plate.
solid wall...
Great video Mike! When can we support you with merch? I want a hat please.
Thanks! And I’m sorry I do not have anything available to sell at the moment
4:31 🤣🤣🙌
Good work mike 👊
Mike, you got a great eye for shots. Thanks for the uploads!
Thank you I try! It’s hard to get better shots when you are alone so I try my best with what I’ve got!
What happen to that tractor you bought for winter work?
I still have it it’s in one of my sheds
Cue the “it’s plumb, not level”!! Comments. 😂
Cause it is. I've been in construction for 377 years. I helped frame the first house in America. I know it all, and know the right way.
@@P4p4Smurfrookie. I built the ships the Vikings sailed on.
@@P4p4Smurf Haha it’s so funny how quick people turn on you for not using the correct terminology. Don’t you dare call a reciprocating saw a sawzall! 🤪

Sounds like you both watched it...but yes not buying a car cover will def get him after that nice fix up that guy did
Y’all got on here to hate on someone else. I’ll pray for you.
U still watched him buy it so keep supporting his channel 🤣🤣 hatter's will always bring nothing up and make something out of it
Absolutely toxic to come on to someone else’s channel to rip on someone else that you find wrong of what they did
you can get a better bite on the tacon if you screw the tacon on the joint of the brick.
No liquid nail?
No need
I got the same Carhartt sweater thats cool.
I have that exact same hammer drill/ chipping hammer. Thing is a beast.
All right, all right it is what it is
Probably should have accounted for the thickness of the drywall instead of putting the framing flush.
Your a jack of all trades
Hey bud. Why the double bottom plate? And also you should tapcon into the mortar for better grip. But for not being a carpenter, did a good jobby job.
To be honest i don’t know why i did the double bottom but it sounded good in my head 😂
@@AMWSERVICESLLC im sure if you seen me do concrete, youd ask questions lol. No bad in the end. Jack of all trades, master of some
What's up fred and Mike 🎉🎉
5:47 I like this view idea
“Wow that happened quick” lmao
2 👍👍 up bro stay safe out there 🤞🥾🇺🇸🍼🐶🐕🦴🍗🍀🚛
Morning FREDDD
Good work non carpenter guy!
I'm not a carpenter either, I just know what works and what doesn't.
She really needs to replace that garbage plastic dryer vent tubing with the metal one.

Fred could have come with!!
4:30 😂😂😂😂
Just use a ramset for the floor right into that asbestos tile
Curious, I’ve seen this trend of people not liking Lowe’s. Can someone explain? Lol
I know it’s not a big deal but I know you were scratching tf out that washer and dryer😂😢
I thought the same thing lmfao
If the house isbt brand new im sure it has settled so the posts wont be staight anymore
Now this is a channel. Videos aren’t weeks old and full of drama😅
🤦🏽
Gooooooood morning, Mike. You look like you're losing weight, sir. New babies will do that to ya lol
Hi Mike, couple questions. How tall are you? And is Wisconsin as flat as it looks on cam?. Nice job on the wall you didn't over think it like I see a lot of people do.
I am 6’1” and yes for the majority of Wisconsin it’s flat but we do have areas that are hilly
Hi Mike’s cousin Kaylee 👋🏻🇬🇧
Hi Mike and Fred
Horizontal is level, vertical is plumb.....
She jumped her whole self in at one time.
Goddamn 9”x9” tiles lol
Mike, the Internet here. You should’ve blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah instead of, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah😆😅👍🏽.
YOUR COUSIN SURE HAS A NICE SET OF HORSES FOR YOU TO PUT YOUR TOOLS ON AND SCRATCH
Moisture oil😂😂
you are confusing "level" with "plumb"...........vertical is plumb...........horizontal is level
👍
Ya
MAGA!! Build that wall
