The fact that y'all do just about everything yourselves is quite a phenomenal event. From clearing, layout, foundation, framing, etc. Everything except what you know is faster and easier to have done (mainly mechanicals, electrical, hvac, plumbing, plus cabinets) helps y'all so much to maximize time and efforts from start to finish. It's super smart, and hugely impressive to those us who do the same work everyday. Great job!

Its pretty surreal sitting here watching you burn these huge piles of limbs while the rest of the world is burning up with forest fires. Well, a whole lot of it, anyway. I'm on the "wet" side of Washington state and we've been under a burn ban for weeks. As for cutting the trees, I'm glad you are making use of the lumber from at least one of the trees. I have a huge black maple you can have for free, LOL. Anyway, I may be an old lady, but I enjoy watching you guys making a living out of something that brings you happiness. I know my son used to be an ironworker and he used to love driving past the newer Tacoma Narrows Bridge and pointing to it and saying, "I helped build that." Good feeling.

ESPECIALLY if the machine is older and there’s a chance of the hydraulic system losing pressure (valves not sealing fully). Our backhoe can usually hold position just fine but sometimes it slowly moves down as it loses pressure when the pump isn’t running. It’s not worth it to get injured

Wow… coming back to this first video of the build after watching the crew just finish Romell’s new home. I’d forgotten how much needed to be cleared first to start this build.

On level ground, you can use your speed square to estimate where a tree will fall. With one edge of the square level, sight along the 45 degree side until an imaginary line extending from it intersects the top of the tree. Because the speed square is a right triangle, the observer's distance from the tree (plus eye height) equals the tree's height. Tree height, though, is not as important as where the topmost part of the tree will land.

I fell for the Calgary power company in the Kananaskis, Sparwood, and good old Banff. That's a good size tree. We don't make a level backcut. It goes down at 35° so if the wind pushes back you have a brace holding it. On the risky ones, the ones that could hit high tension power lines, we roped them off.

I grew up in Northern California in the redwoods, my grandfather was a logger. That intro with Jamie holding that saw and the “you gunna cut a redwood with that?” was great.

I spit out my drink laughing at the baby sausage joke @5:18

If you cut the tree down and then dig up the stump it’s harder to get the stump out. It’s easier to get the stump out if you leave it attached to the tree, dig around the stump to break the roots, and then push the tree over with the excavator. Then the stump will come out when you push the tree over because leverage will be on your side and you won’t have to rely on the strength of the excavator alone to dig up the stump.

Hey guys - always love your builds and have been watching for years. I saw in the plans you're going with flat trusses over I-joists in the roof. When you get to that portion of the build, I'd love it if you could explain for a second why you went with that choice vs i-joists. I think it's mostly due to the 28' span (I know a lot of i-joists are around 24-25'), but I'd love to hear the reasoning here. Looking forward to this build! It's really similar to our own cedar-sided contemporary/modern house that we'll hopefully be adding structural additions onto ourselves (diy) soon! 🙂

I just cleared my lot using a rented 14000 lb machine it’s amazing what those mini excavators can do. Sweet gum roots are definitely the strongest in the forest in upstate SC. Enjoyed the video thanks for creating the great content

Ahh snap just finished the duplex Playlist and now I get to watch this!

I love day one of a new Perkins' build. Can't wait to watch it all!

The Perkins crew! Amazing! From site clearing to fit and finish. Perkins Senior should be proud.

Love the time lapse of the burn pile !!!!!!!

Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all

You guys should watch upstate brush control...they clear large areas like this with ease with some very cool toys..i love nature but its still so satysfying to watch there grinders in action.

Should mulch all those trees. Sure a manufacturer be willing to hand a wood chipper just for you to make an awesome review video. If roof slope is facing south you should consider solar panel system, then standing seam metal roofing should be the choice.

What a kick ass crew you have., you guys all rock?

Can't wait to watch the house go up. The floor plan, style, and size is very much like what my wife and I want to build in Lake Lure.

You could slice up that maple stump into some grown knees to be used as shelf hangers or whatever.

Jaime for President! There is nothing he cannot do.

When Jamie grabbed the chainsaw while it was on I cringed and then realized oh wait, those fingers are already gone. I absolutely love your videos, you guys do such a great job.

Could have used the Swedish Torch method for burning your stumps.

Poison Ivy and yellow jacket bees! Couldn’t have picked a better site for this build 😂

Love to see a video about those logs getting milled up!

Esp. When you have a public platform and are potentially influencing thousands it would be great to see a tiny bit of chainsaw safety and ppe. They are such dangerous tools as fun as they are.

Pick up high and drop to clear stump dirt , like Andrew Camareta 🎉

Consider chipping the brush and small limbs for landscaping. Sell or give away anything bigger that you can’t mill. Burning just releases the carbon back into the atmosphere. And, before anyone blasts me, I cut trees and burn wood for heat.

Really looking forward to this series! I bought five acres of hardwood forest in WV and cleared just enough to build my 3 bedroom 2 and a half bath log home, doing much of the work myself and working with contractor on rest. Deja vue!

Hey Brüder, grad erst das letzte Duplex-Video gesehen und gleich das nächste Haus, super!!!!!!👍✌

I wish you could upload every single day 😭😭

Probably would have been a good idea to hammer in a wedge near both sides of the jack to maintain control of the tree in case the jack were to jump out or fail, although very unlikely to happen.

Impressive job on that tree. Beautiful straight tree.

There is a proper tool for every job. And you had the wrong one for clearing that lot. I was a home builder for more than 45 years in SE PA. We built homes on scattered lots same as you, and many of them were wooded. About 95 percent of the homes had basements. We never used a back hoe of any type for excavating or lot clearing. We did use a traditional backhoe for trenching however. But for clearing and excavating we always used a large size crawler loader with a professional operator. We put a ramp into the basement with the loader and stockpiled the top soil and fill dirt from the excavation. Dig around the roots and push large trees in whatever direction you prefer with the stump still attached. Depending upon local laws and lot size we sometimes buried the stumps on site. Or hauled them to a place where they were ground up. Some builders enjoyed playing with equipment, but we didnt, we were good builders and we hired good operators. If you have a large enough business to keep the machinery busy every day, it might pay to have your own equipment. But also consider the upkeep/maintenance on it which requires a shop and qualified people for doing it.

I love how you guys do everything from absolute start to finish. Inspiring ❤

Can’t wait for Thursday!

And not a tree hugger in sight, good tree felling skills, over here in Oz you would be in all sorts of strife. Have you guys ever seen Perkins Engineering on KZread, they are a father and son race car (Australian Super Cars ) drivers & champions restoring their 1986 winning cars to display at this years Mount Panorama 1000kilometre race. Well worth a squizz.

Pressure washer might get the dirt off stumps completely, or wait for a year of rain :D

So ready for another project build series!

How sad am I. I'm actually excited that you guys are starting on a real house in the hills. Hope all goes great. . .

What about chipping rather than burning? That way you have chips for paths or at least can compost into soil for landscaping.

yessss. looking forward to another awesome build!

Looks like a nice piece of land with a cool future house. Excited to see this build! Are there any updates on the 10 acres you bought with a plan to develop it yourselves? Y’all made a video about clearing it back in November 2021

Your channel and crew are great! The dynamic and personality of everyone makes watching entertaining as well as extremely educational. I learn a lot by watching what you all are doing and is helping me gear up for my own home build. Kudos to the construction team and kudos to whomever is the content creator/videographer/editor that’s a full time job in itself!
