Those laminated engineered beams will give U a Peace of Mind which is Priceless !!! :)

It cracked me up when you couldn’t get the pry bar into the ceiling and resorted to just swing the hammer as hard as you could lol I’ve been there many times

You made a very smart move to call in an expert, I'm sure he told you a lot of stuff you were not thinking about. You are right fix it the first time correctly and you won't have to redo it later.

These are the things called common sense and often things dads teach. Real world solutions to real problems that don't cost an arm and a leg. Good on you!

Yep that's what I said....good choice....I was a general contractor for 50 years

Good investment with the LVL beams. After watching This Old House since the beginning, those are definitely worth the price. A good roof/ceiling support system will keep your house safe for decades

Wes, thank you for your videos, for being able to be a part of your projects. Im heck of sure your family and us (people of youtube) would like to have you around much, much longer. So pretty, pretty please always use a mask while working in a dusty environment: sawmill, insulation of a house, etc. I saw you have one on later on, but not from the very start. Pneumoconiosis (lung desease) is not a fun thing to be dealing with.

Woo Doggy we are havin fun now!!! I'd come help ya if I was closer... Been there done that before... By myself! Oh so the rewards you will reap once you're done though....

hello fall line ridge its is randy and i like u video is cool and good luck whit u home thanks friends randy

The little zoom in of the chicken is the kind of editing we love. 😍 Love to see the house updates!

You are doing a great job, Wes, & your little boy is so precious!! God bless you and your family! 🙏 ❤️👍

Good job! Watching you deal with that fiberglass insulation make my skin cry! Bad experiences!

very interesting video on the information of the supporting beams to remodel and take out the "belly sag" hope all goes well and look forward to seeing the remodel. have a great day

When you were pulling down the ceiling I was hoping it would not hit your windows you just put in. We used a laminated beam in our house we built ten years ago and no problems with sagging. Looking forward to watch until the project is complete. God bless.

That is a perfect fix, your skills are growing fast. Love the channel

I have some of those LVL beams I have some of those in my shop those things are really heavy and they can hold up a lot of weight they use them in the new two-story houses Joyce's everyday I watch him build houses all the time I pour concrete for a living that's how I know

The panther was cute !

Interesting video Wes. Looks like that project is getting a bit major, but I'm sure with your innovation & skills, you'll crack it. Stay safe & well. 👍👍

Well Wes, looks like you have a lot of hard work ahead of you. I know you can handle it, but I hope you get some one to help you. Thanks for sharing.

This is going to be a great opportunity to learn some new skills. Looking forward to going on this journey with you. Thanks for taking us along. Don't be afraid to ask questions of your friend, better to ask a question than to make a mistake that will cost you time and materials.

Remodeling is my favorite, the wife and i do these kinds projects as well. Good work! God Bless

I've been watching your channel since all you had was the Ford tractor. I remember how excited you were when you got the saw mill and set it up with your dad. You've done a lot of videos and come a long way since then. I still look forward to seeing your videos every week. Always something interesting. May God bless you and your loved ones and thank you for some great entertainment in a fairly goofed up world. Keep up the good work sir. 👍

I'm sure your Builder friend has told you that a 2X8 can only span about 12' 3" (spf) That longer side looks like its a bit longer You can look up span charts online, you can get a bit more span by using a harder wood (like Oak). You wouldn't want to sag again after all that hard work. Good Luck

LvL is expensive but it will be worth the money, to strengthen your house & to not have a post in the room anymore!

What!!! No way, those are high dollar.

Good Job... Now your talkin... So much of that insulation was useless. My recommendation for insulation when you re-do is Rock Wool and not fiberglass. Fiberglass is the preferred bedding material of rodents and birds. And... do not even leave any gaps plus do a vapor barrier before drywall. Apparently the problem began when they added the living space on top of what was only Ceiling joists. I bet there is allot of bounce up there. You could have sawn a solid 6x or 8x 12" Beam instead of buying LVL but, the LVL will be easier to put in place and if glued together with a proper screw pattern will be massively stronger. You can then wrap it however you like. In wood, or in drywall and paint it. Keep on keepin on.

I guess you might go with wood up there.

i think having a solid pillar in the middle of the living room would lead to some creative possibilities. hammocks?

Makin' moonshine for the chickens?!

MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼

Man! I got itchy just watching this video.

You will like the results you get from the LVL. Sometimes a guy has to choke on what things cost but getting the right thing is always cheaper in the long run. I will be curious to see how you get them up and in place. I have seen it done by cutting a hole in the side of the house, sliding the beam in from outside and then closing in the hole afterward. Your tractor could be a real asset if this is how you try it. Could be a good day to invite friends over and feed them ribs from those hogs after the job is done! :)

It's bad stuff for sure. I've found that the newer insulation isn't so bad. Old stuff like this is the worst.

How are you going to prevent mold and even movement by using green lumber for your joists? Love your channel from down here in SW Georgia.

@falllineridge

Жыл бұрын

Once the new ones are screwed onto the existing joists I don't think they'll move. As far as mold goes, I think the risk is minimal. It'll probably be a month or more between sawing and covering them in the ceiling. They won't be totally dry, but they will lose a good bit of moisture during that time.

I believe it's toenailed in. Not much support, but it's held for 45 years. I think it was put up after the ceiling started sagging and it was not original to the design. I'm really looking forward to a more open space in here.

My sawmill is getting delivered today! Went with a Norwood HD 36V2. These pine trees are in trouble down here in south florida. Quick question what’s your preferred lubrication for pine?

@falllineridge

Жыл бұрын

I used diesel fuel for a while, because it lubricated extremely well, and in turn kept the blade cool, and kept all of the pitch off of the blade. I started getting concerned about all of the aerosolized diesel that I was breathing. So, I switched back to water and Dawn dishwashing detergent. Works fine, but pitch will build up on the blade to some degree. I keep a jug of diesel fuel under the mill so when that happens I can just pour a little on the blade to clean it off.
