You two work really well together. I wished I lived closer to you I would give you a hand for free. I'm 72 and have spent most of my life building. As a matter of fact at 70 i had one knee replaced and was back building a barn 28 days latter a month later they were able to get me in and do the other knee and was back on another build 30 days later. At one time I had 20 men working for me. God Bless from your Canadian Friend.

Hey guys, thanks for this week's update, great to see the progress your family is making, will be a house in no time! It was a wise choice to agree with Lil as manager :D Have you got as far as decisions around siding etc yet, or are you waiting to decide once the house is up and you can get a better feel for things? Stay safe folks!

@@DIY_or_DIE Hardi will give you plenty of options in terms of colour etc as a feature. I think you really need to see the house built and in it's setting properly to make a definite choice though, as what seems like a great idea initially may not look the best in reality. I vote for what Lil chooses 🤣🤣🤣

Great job you guys! Love seeing the family all working together getting things done! So now that you have the exterior walls all up and you're working on interior ones, does the house feel larger or smaller than you thought it was going to?

stagger your joints on your top plates , if your going to tie wall into the ones you have just stood you should of already marked them and put T posts in them where they will tie together...other than that looking good :)OOHHHH also you should of laid all your walls out on the nice painted floor you have

Don't worry, we will tie everything together as we go. We are constantly changing things as we go so the locations of the walls are not being finalized until we start building them and can see where they are going.

You’ve missed a few things in the framing. I mentioned it before but people have to work it out later I suppose. 🙂

Might be easier to fasten the bottom of the brace to the piece to be attached to the floor with one screw before putting it in place. I would go ahead and screw it to the floor first, then use the upper end to plumb it. 😊
