Seems like a waste of time and energy to me. That structure will be standing long after you are dead and gone. What you did doesn’t add any value or life to the structure. I have seen 100s of timber framed building that the post or either in the ground bare or sit on stone that have stood for well over a hundred years! Again in my opinion that was a waste! The entire outside of the structure is exposed to weather 24/7! Those post are sitting on a concrete foundation and likely won’t ever be exposed to anything but concrete.

Great idea to give easy advice and tips.

I have to share this story about my Uncle (he died last yr on this day). He bought this home in 1989, built in 1955 and had to sell in 2013 (dementia) so his oldest son purchase the home and was under the house checking on the huge cast iron tub and to his surprise it was being held up with two bottle jacks. I saw it for myself and I can't believe that we all took showers in there, the bottle jacks were placed there since the late 90's. Memories... RIP Uncle....Great Job... Thanks for sharing

Excellent! Actually overkill. Good idea on the Contractor's Corner. You can never have too much good advice.

As a heavy duty mechanic and iron man ie structural welder , if you use a ratchet with a longer bar / breaker bar , the tighter those nuts will be esp now that you have included the plates . Or even using a half inch electric ratchet will do . Am enjoying the videos up North in Etobicoke Ontario. Cant wait for the Knowledge sharing podcast/ videos

Thanks Peter for the nice compliment and welcome to the channel.

As a viewer, this kind of interaction is neat to see. Because you're working mostly alone on a big project, it gives the experienced viewers time to spot things, and you can take that, research the issue, and take action as needed. It's really good teamwork. Of course you're doing 99% of it, but still the community contributions are neat little pieces.

I have worked in the access control ind, for 45 years in the south mostly 15 in the Phila area. When I came south most were gates access systems I supervised and installed in 90% of all State parks and some Natl parks gate systems about were solar powered including their cellular pay stations . When I moved to SC. I also installed a lot of gate systems when we did wood on concrete we always installed a plate between we also used roofing caulk on the edges between the metal and concrete to keep waster from running under the plate but not between the post and plate so the post could dry when wet. So doing it for so many years I a small jump on the solar than some people. By doing what you just did you extended the life of the posts by 10 fold

My customers have used spray rubber for all kinds of corrosion elimination and water proofing. It would be a lot less messy and adhere to the metal much better. It is used extensively on AC drip pans to eliminate corrosion. It would separate the metals to eliminate galvanic corrosion. I have had a lot of customers use it to line their truck beds themselves.

Good morning, SMO!! Nice work - methodical & technically excellent execution! Those little 20T bottlenecks really are worth their weight in gold for operations just like this. This will give you mental relief going forward and one less thing to worry about in the future. Love the idea of introducing a 'Contractors' Corner' bit, as there are plenty of us weighing in on this, along with engineers and architects that have joined on. This will be a good source of information along the build journey. One thing you might consider doing before getting into the roof framing and drying in is to get your hard surface on the ground completed - I'm assuming you're doing at least a 'rat slab' beneath your floor framing? I will make working above it with scaffolding, etc. a whole lot easier and cleaner. At any rate.... always great to see a new vid and keep 'em coming!! Have a super day!! >> cheers

Enjoyed the video great idea on the expert advice . Two heads are better than one ! Lol

I don’t know about the wicking, don’t know if my comment about the aluminum plate stoped you, I’m just glad you put the tar and paper on the plates. I’m not a contractor or an expert ,but I know what happens when I put aluminum and cement together. I think letting us know what you’re going to do gives somebody that knows a chance to help before, not after. This contractors corner is a super idea, you won’t regret it. When you’re ready to coat around the post I’ll give you this info. I recently dug around my house down to the foundation and coated the wall. You can order a 16 oz spray can of plastic tar from Walmart for 96 cent a can. Covers about 3’ X15’ depends how heavy you spray. Easier than what you did. Have a good day stay safe.

it may also be a good idea to go back and add a 30 tear silicon bead around the bottom of all your post as a standing water dam to help prevent soaking up any standing moisture

I just used spray rubber to water proof post that i had set in the ground three feet. I just sprayed the part of the post that was below ground.

I have never done any post and beam like that but in my opinion the tar and felt paper you put on each post for sure has to stop any wicking of moisture. Plus once the roof and overhang is in place there should be very little water on posts. I am looking forward to next episode. You are doing great.

okay lol you addressed the issue I should have waited 2 minutes before I commented lol

Everyone is going to have different opinions, even the experts. Your fix is a great idea, only thing I would have done differently is making the plates slightly smaller then your post. That way water wouldn’t hit post bottom and have a chance to go underneath. Caulking should never be a primary, as it fails. I would use a NP1 type product for caulking leave a couple of areas to weep in case any water gets past the caulking. Just my opinion

Of course hindsight is always 20/20, maybe could have added a coat of tar between the top felt and the bottom of the beam just to make sure it is truly sealed off and doesn't every wick. Good job!

Amazon has them. Not cheap.

The boots that you are wearing in this video are good looking - how is the comfort and I am sure these are waterproof.

Yeah the corner is coming! Construction power is cool knowledge! For better buildings! Just a story: We in Germany work in this style: Big companies have their own engineer /building master/ architect team (real estate). They control the work the quality of a building or modernization because we always have a contract made “by the team and lawyers” to make sure that the customer gets what is promised and the building comp does what is promised. In the building industry the mob is master in stealing. The construction companies with a good reputation work for 30 or more years in the business but still they must be controlled. Some building comps in Germany have a history of 100 years in building. That gives a good feeling! Some home builder come and go and so many are more in the criminal building work then the good quality building and “make the customer happy”.. Sometime a “control architect that works for the customer” is corrupt and takes money from the construction comps. We had that happens a lot of times. They steel from the customer. One simple safety first tip: Whenever you open a can with chemical stuff then 1: close your eyes, 2: look away 3: Or wear a work glass. Too many workers (also in private home building) get a “splash in the eye” or a particle of steel dust or a burning metal pice while cutting metal with a electric saw and the hurt their eye side or some lost an eye. I saw worker die on the building place- to protect the health must be number one all the time. I had eye injuries, even when I had wear a glass because the micro-splinter jumped under the glass against my skin and from there against the inside of the glass and then in my eye. 2 Times in a hospital. Only one little point got burned in the eyes. Thank God for that. Law in the private and professional workshops- is a “water shower” for the eyes with clean special water from the pharmacy. One belongs in the workshop one in the truck and one in an first aid box direct where you work. Time is important when a particle is in the eyes. Seconds that can save the eyes make the differed. The ambulance is many miles away and a DOC also. Love and greeting from Hamburg in Germany where the Hamburgers came from

👍 The promised link to building the house off the grid: kzread.info/dash/bejne/f56j1MWaYpPLhKw.html

KZread content and the relationship between producer/Viewer. A story. I am not a professional in the “social media world” but I have 15 years of experiment and I know some YTber how had big success and are not more viral for a hand full reasons. Like “the fouch family” over night- gone. Such a wonderful content- family live but no one knows what happened to them. In the beginning with 100 or 1000 abos or subs it looks like a “nice hobby” answers and questions and talk to every one or write to everyone how gives a commend to a video or post. But with 10.000 or 100.000? You need a team behind you or you need rules or boundaries for self-protection. YT is “Time consuming” live eating. KZread has some danger and it is good to learn from those how are viral for a long time because of the danger of burning out. Others got attacks through stalkers and lost their live through criminal stalkers one burned the cab of a >YTuber. Hater online watch for victims. Many things must be consider. 15 years ago, I wrote my first book. My back round was facility management with carpenter education but I had a wild life so I found a publisher and the contract I had to wait for 12 month then it came out. I created my “Franksmission-com” HP filled it with info’s Facebook was my communication stool and the “social media” marketing PR was on its run. Weeks before my book came out- one of the big “family book writers” in Germany said to me “Frank, you will get spiritual/soul pressure like never in your life. Going PUBLIC will change everything especial if your book is personal when you show how you are”. OK, I came in the newspapers in Hamburg one time in TV and had some invitations to the big TV stations like “ARD” or “ZDF” with millions watching the shows. But before I was able to go in more shows, I was burned out by the stress and my love to please al of the readers or fans. I got mails from 50 nations (the story was in English in Italo and Spanish but “a short version” not in form of a book) I had no social media team for help and I made not big cash with the book- that was not my goal. After the first signs of “social media burn out” I said to myself “stop this or you will not become healthy again.” I was really 18/7 hours “online” to answer the mails. I had fears of “not being friendly or that some will write bad about me” because I was not able to answer their Mail or post. Fear brings terror. Only my radical openness brought my peace and then my rest again. I clothed my communications with the public and explained them on my HP what was going on in my live. OK I wrote a book- but not more. I owed no one a thing. My content was the story not my live and my willingness to be there for everybody all the time. Some become addicted by YT they watch to many hours and get t rapped to the canals emotional bound. Also some YT producer get addicted they thing that they must produce, produce, and produce. Others protect themselves and they “make only one in a week” “Tiny notes from home” this lovingly 6 boy! Family said (to us YT-viewer) month before that they have to much to work on their house that they will not find time to produce every week a video. But that is fine and they do know what they do they protect their time and life! The audience is not important. Important is the own freedom- not to develop compulsions “I must produce”. I love to watch outdoore/cabinlife/Building cabs because it relaxes my soul. I don’t watch videos “with nature stuff” when they put music in it. I hate music in nature back round films. I would like to listen to the birds the wind the snow the rain the nature noises. I love to watch men/women family’s by building a simple dream house or home in the nature. I cant do it in my country nor in my city. Selfprotection for the YT producer: First the YTuber produces only content, mostly without talking to much some never talk “and let the pics speak” the atmosphere . The big one YTber know that the dialogs on YT or social media is good for the exchange between the subs and not so important- from the producer to the subs by writing and answering the posts. The “product” is the content the product is never the platform the posts the things that the subs write. Analyze the big YTber comments the writing that you will find out that there a 3 kinds of writers. 1: The biggest group are the applause makers the “Thanks givers” the “doing a great job thank you for the content” This is good and it is a must have. This “take note of”. How many hours one with 10.000 subs must spend by “thanking the subs for a positive writing? “ I thing that it is not necessary to say “Thanks for a thanks” that does not mean that you are unthankful. But it is not necessary because it eats to much time to give to many thumbs. Time eating action must be avoid. 2: Posts and answers that are filled with good information’s that fit to the video and your canal. That are the best once. They know what they are writing and they don’t care if someone gives the thumb or not. After watching their answers you will find out that it is worth to read their stuff and you can-but not must- answer if you like. In my case you don’t have to answer when I write. Only if I have a question you CAN but not MUST answer. I don’t wont to interrupt you from being productive. 3: The posts and writings from “I know it better” or those how loves to complain or ask stupid questions. Never give them a second. Viewer rule: No viewer can demand an answer for a question. The best are dialogs between the others. That protects the producer. The dialogs between the subs, are one of the fruit that a YT love to see. As more write- as more the canal grows (analytic power). I want to see your success in the building process. I don’t want you to get trapped by the “subs dialog I must answer thing”. Produce good content and keep relaxed and not to much involved in the social media. Make yourself a plan- a communication plan. I know some that never look in there mails and posts from the subs. They do understand that that can cost to much attention and time! Make yourself rare- concentrate on videos or make sometime holydays from producing videos. Don’t go in the sector of making cooking videos in this time- do it in one year and relax between the different building videos. Don’t burn out in YT. Be free of that and you will not be ashamed if you have not answered. There is no demand-button service on YT. As more subs you have as more AD$ comes in as better tools you can buy and we- the viewer are happy. Don’t let anything or anyone stop you to go on. Think about it and pray about it. Build a filter between you and the viral world. Quality goes before quantity. Not many videos- but substance ones will grow your canal. The way you build shows quality has solid historical building infos that are like “a teaching class” and you and your family are the teacher. Never compare yourself with the Kindergarten-Content from the sweet boy Joy R. or the “Dog trainer Shawn James” in CA or others. The motivation why they go viral is a total different than yours. Yours is serious there is fun and talk and entertainment. You have a plan to do something for the family and later to create a place for education. That’s a motive of love. Yes, you entertain me also- but in a way where my mind is learning. I am happy if you are happy. YT can become a blessing for you. But to become the blessing you must have a plan. Learn from the failures of other YT. And protect yourself from “to much to fast” Love from Hamburg

👍 @ SMO! For your introduction: "Yes, you are not an expert as a carpenter!" But you do the job much better than some contract carpenter! Or do you really think that a contractor voluntarily did this time-consuming and conscientious work on his own? And only afterwards for a surcharge. It is your house, created with your own hands, almost like a child! Of course, you only want the best for "your baby", because damage from ignorance or sloppiness only comes to bear later and you don't get any younger at this time and in older age you find some of the work you do today with the left extremely difficult and most then leave it that way and tell themselves that the next generation should do it. Only where is the next generation - where they can make a living and where there is work or where their interests lie, that is, they do not necessarily have to spend their lives here and the house decays until it is ready for demolition. You do everything right, you are a perfectionist and not a stubborn goat! You build it as conscientiously as for eternity! Even 30 years after you, your next generations can come back and easily make the house comfortable and tidy with small means and small repairs! I'm looking forward to your next videos!

Thank you for the comment. It didn’t take much time and can’t now for sure. I don’t mind a little extra. I have had several comment on building one and ten years down the road having to jack up, cut off and block. So, thought I would head it off at the pass. Most of the old cabins here in the mountains are as you say built on rocks. However, concrete does retain moisture and the post were right there. Problem solved

Smoky Mountain Outpost I’m not criticizing you. Just giving my opinion. Anything can be improved. I just didn’t see the payoff for you there. I wish I had that sawmill you have. I’m not sure I would do anything other than use it to do just what you are doing!

I didn’t take it like you were. Simply staying in contact with those who take the time to comment. I didn’t want any issues down the road. Since I had some comment on theirs I thought I would add some extra precautions. But please, if you have an idea, share it. It could be something I have overlooked or didn’t know. Thank you

Had the level of the bottom of the post been on a pier above the footing I might agree with you but it isn't. Older structures also had old growth timber that was denser. Sitting on a stone is not the same as concrete. Stones won't wick moisture, concrete does.

You do not need to use the felt that all that felt paper will deteriorate and time and be a waste of your time to use

bla bla bla

The Contractors Corner idea is outstanding. looking forward to it.
