you must not get out much then, this is how people work in general. In construction you can't do anything wrong, this has nothing to do with how people work today or in the past, people still work hard. You just seem to only want to see the FEW people who don't want to online and assume everyone now is like that. Go touch some grass omg.

I'm an orthopedic nurse, and Cole, you are spot on about rehabbing your muscle tear. You want to move it so the scar tissue develops in a way to give you full range of motion. We use the phrase "motion is lotion" every day, lol.

I hope Justin and Roman stay as regulars on the channel

In the South. Creaks and squeaking when walking across the floor or up steps is a do it yourself security system. 😂

Loving the buzz cut, Cole, makes you look five years younger 😂 Jason and Roman are doing a fantastic job 😁👌👌👌❤️❤️❤️

Roman and Justin should have built the bin site,,,or at least been own the quality assurance team out there.

Roman is everyone’s dream come true when it comes to an assistant, carpenter, architect, engineer, farm hand or even manager. He would do well as your supervisor Cole since his degree is much more valuable and time intensive not to mention him being very knowledgeable and imaginative. I will have to offer Roland double the salary, one of my weekend homes for his loyalty, a clothing allowance with our company logo and custom embossing plus bonuses. He is most deserving and nice to look at along with fun to converse with. Way to go Roman! 😎

It’s nice to see good ole fashioned workmen making it happen with good ole fashioned razzing! I miss those days. Thanks for showing it is alive and well!

Correctly said Roman. Jack's hold up headers. Cripples are below and above window sills and above the door header.

Im so happy you went to go get checked. Too many people wait too long to get checked out. As a retired physical therapy assistant its never a good idea to wait.

Roman and his funny remarks.... ''while I was in bed cuddling and Justin was here working'.... lol and 'back to the cutting board' not drawing board.... ha ha ha...... 😂 Hope you feel better soon Cole!

14:50. Juston gets veto power on all measurements.😂

Cole, I hope your arm heals quickly. I feel bad for you. I had a frozen shoulder for several weeks, along with physical therapy. Your guys are doing a wonderful job. Looking forward to each step you build. Hello to Justin and Roman too!

No, not just semantics. LVLs frequently have a shiny coating which prevents glue from adhering, Microlam usually have a raw wood face, In neither case is glue a requirement or truly useful a proper schedule of nails to transmit shear from unit to unit one nail per 2 inches depth of beam repeated every 2 feet of length

Cole, Justin and Roman...you "light" up my life! Love your videos! 💡 🕯 🔦 🪔

This is mesmerizing. I forget I am watching a video. So intense at times. Good job guys. Cole you are the best! ❤ heal fast 🙏

So many have no clue what really involve to doing a total remodel and update but they think they know. There a point where keeping something and trying to patch it in will cost you 10 time the money then just to replace. Stairs didn't meet code. The subfloor was junk joist as undersize for the span. Some time it is best to just tear out and start over.

Thing to be thinking about, sound control, you will want to run slays perpendicular to your floor joists (for both leveling your ceiling and packing down to lowest point) and hang 5/8 fire rated drywall for sound control. Any plumbing should be heavy iron or wrap pvc in something like a tar based tape. Trust me you will not regret quiting the noise before it becomes an annoyance. Planing for it now is a great start.

Your videos are addictive, I love watching them. Take care and get some much needed rest. Hello to your family. Everything is going good. Hope and pray everything works out for you going forward. You have such an amazing attitude. God Bless Cole. 💪💪

Cole, you are building part of your legacy for generations to come and it is going to be amazing. Good job.

Hey Juston, Laissez faire is French, and it means 'Let the people do as they choose', as in little government interference as possible. Basically telling the gov't to keep their hands off! :) Enjoying your work. Y'all work great together. It's giving me inspiration to start work on my own house.

Get yourself a palm air nailer for all those joist hangers. Congrats on 600k subscribers!

Cole, time o gift Justun with a palm nailer like the Bostitch PN50 or PN100. Also get some nails intended for installing hurricane straps that are .141" diameter. You will need power for an air compressor, but using a palm nailer takes less than half the time as does hand nailing.

Another entertaining video capturing the complicated building process. Cedric is doing an awesome job of putting it all together!

Cole, from a guy who has had 2 labrum and 3 rotator cuff tears and 3 bicep tears, I feel your pain. An artificial shoulder has helped immensely, but physical therapy is a must. Slow, steady gains young skywalker. Great videos Cedric and the house is slowly taking shape. Cheers from this old retired coot living the dream in Tennessee.

He might just be pulling your alls legs about being hurt..(jk) I know how hard you work. I hope you feel better soon. As always, i enjoyed the video. 😊

COLE,I JUST THAUGHT OF SOMETHING. YOU ARE A BRILLIANT AMERICAN MAN.😊😊😊😊😊

I don't normally comment on stuff, but you really need to think about putting in blocking between your floor joists to prevent future twisting or warping, especially since your joists are so long.

I love the way you "hid" the beams in the joist pockets. Also glad that you're planning to use joist hangers in the kitchen. I'm sure you know you also need them on the first beam you put in. I know you screwed them in but they need hangers in my local code. It's really looking good guys!

The homes my parents bought as a child we remodeled A LOT back when "this old house" was the only home renovation show. You are doing great work with bringing stuff up to modern day codes. Going above and beyond is something you won't regret nor will your boys!!!

The house is looking awesome, feel so bad you hurt yourself, not fun just watching. I’m sure Roman and Justin can do your job and theirs, now you are the supervisor. Love you all, can’t wait for more ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The StudPack, father and son duo, had a similar project and installed a lot of the hangers. They had a pneumatic palm hammer. It made putting in all those nails much easier and in tight spaces. No need for a lot of space to swing a hammer.

We upgraded to LED from T-8s in our shop and started with LED strips in our newest garage. What a difference! We don't have the sensors, though.

Hi Papa Cole, Roman, and Justin. When I was a boy, both my paternal grandparents worked at Stanley Tools in New Britain Connecticut, making all those nifty little tools. Papa Cole looks like a teen-ager with his buzz cut head. Lifting babies is not in the cards, for now either. Nice job. Who's taking on the Spring planting prep ??

Great job Roman! I love your gluing technique! Thanks for keeping everybody on track and the job moving forward!

As a retired Firefighter I would suggest that you look int a residential sprinkler system as well as a good system of Smoke and CO detection. These item will make youhome much safer for your family. Especially as a rural location you are far from the local fire department and fire will get a hugh head start on the firefighters. Just a thought. Love this series and cannot wait to see the finished product.

I found your channel in early Feb of 2024. I have binge watched all the episodes. I am caught up now and looking forward to watching the house get finished and watching your family move in. I've learned so much about farming from your channel, and thank you for all the hard work you and other farmers do for us. God Bless

I grew up on a farm. We used machinery only for plowing, discing, and mowing. Everything else was done by hand. This was over 60 years ago, but I don't understand why you'd want to work out on top of all the manual labor ( I've already implied that I know using machinery leaves you with more time on your hands).

I had a little chuckle when you put his measuring tape into your pocket.😂

The jacked left arm and normal right arm reminded me of Quagmire finding out about internet corn 😂😂😂

Moving your shoulder towards the midline is controlled by the pectoralis major and minor. Moving your shoulder away from the midline is the muscles in your upper back like the latissimus dorsi. Pushing your arm forwards, like using an impact driver, is your bicep and deltoids. It makes sense the motions towards the midline cause pain. It will always be tighter in the morning because you didn’t move it for a few hours. Keep it moving, little to no resistance if possible. Try YTA exercises. (Hold your arms in a y position then back out in front, followed by a t then back in front and lastly an a.) you can do this with light resistance bands around a pole in front of you. Good luck on your recovery!

If you already make a new basement floor then maybe add a ramp down into the basement wide enough for a wheelbarrel or a ride on mower , fridge and grill and whatever heavy things you never ever want to carry up the stairs id reccomend a floor drain and a insulated basement door thats water tight to the key hole

I keep hearing you talk about bringing the mansion back and restoring it. You should make it livable for your family. Doesn't have to be over the top or perfectly restored to what it once was.

If you are putting in jack columns might want to consider runs next to them. You can use those runs for plumbing and wiring, HVAC etc. Big house, you can afford some expensive space for the plumbers and electricians to get their work done.

I would send pictures by don’t want any evidence. Good job. We put the PL on the layer that was up to try not get as much on ourselves getting them in place. 4 inch structural screws.

I'm very impressed with how the new bones of this building are going in. I did not anticipate cutting the old 2x8's and sliding the MicroLVLs between them. It gives the best of both worlds.
