Pump warm water through the radiant and use an IR camera or IR temp gun to locate the radiant.

There is nothing better than seeing a half an hour pure living for life video in your recommended...

So happy the frame is up and you now have a few seconds to share the process. Please don't feel pressure to "catch up". Those of us who could not be there in person, want to enjoy the process in the rhythm to which we have grown accustomed. I love the both of you; am grateful you came through primarily unscathed; and am so grateful you still want to share the day to day progress.

If you can run hot water through the pipes, a thermal imaging camera will show exactly where the tubes are.

The three stages of watching one of these videos- 1. OMG! A new video! 2. Jesse talks a lot 3. OMG, NO! What are you doing!!

Have they replaced that ghetto 1" wood shim in the beam pocket for hydraulic cement yet? Hopefully they got a post jack and did it before they started framing.

It's like meeting old friends after a long time!

Your a great woman Alyssa for resuming the videos after all that hard work , which isn't quite done yet but hopefully the really big stuff is . God bless you and Jesse .

Thank you for uploading this video, it is nice to have a surprise of another posted video! Alyssa, your editing is is Awesome and I understand about not just putting up some 5 minute video that you don't feel good about just to please some of your viewers. I, along with so many others, hope that videos with be coming more often now that the Shelter Institute workshop is over, but but if we have to wait a while for another video to come out, so be it. Your house project is Much more important than finding time to film, explain what is going on, edit and post a video. I'm just happy that you are allowing us to follow you and Jesse on your adventurous journey! :)

So happy you guys are back! Love watching you. Don't worry about all the negative comments. People always have something to complain about. Keep doing you!

Good to see your posting again. I've missed you two. I hope you will be posting regularly again. Things are looking good.

Genuinely impressed by how much I've missed you guys on YT...

Welcome back. Glad you all survived the timber frame raising in the snow storm. Hope you two are getting some R&R

Nice to see you both in video. Thanks for all the Facebook postings. Rest when you can. What an awesome experience.

Dunno why, but I find these videos quite entertaining ... and addictive. Thanks.

So glad the vids are BACK!!!!!!

Glad to see you back! Be aware that people will drift away in your absence, your channel is like a smooth mellow drug and when we don't get our fix we freak out and watch Pewdiepie.

Thanks so much Jesse for talking about the engineered products because it gives me so much to think about for my future home. It's alway nice to watch and listen to your process.

YAY!! I've been thinking and missing these every single day. I cannot wait to start watching them every day when I come back from school. Welcome back guys, a true inspiration!

Glad to see ya'll back! Thanks for sharing. It is not one bit important if you guys post videos in real time as some, just a few compared to the number of views, are complaining about. I just appreciate you guys sharing your projects, and I think that's how most people feel and just watch and enjoy and don't comment. Anyway, thanks you two! When ya'll get time to post again we will watch.

Welcome BACK!!... we missed you two.

I have Soooo missed you guys! Thank you for thinking of us and showing a bit more of your progress. i am already waiting for your next reveal. I am already drooling over your home.

31 MINUTES LONG! THAT'S LOVE!

But how long when you subtract Jesse talking.

missed watchin you all go at this project. It's a journey that I'm glad I can watch.

Hello. Eventhough i know what the timberframe now looks like. I still was excited and enjoy watching your story unfold. Congratulations and much warmth and joy to you both.

WOO HOO!!! Hope You guys and Bugaboo got a good rest after the big push. Been keeping up-to-date on Facebook. But is wonderful to have live video!

You could use a metal detector to find the rebar and if you can fill that radiant heat tubing with warm water there is likely an infrared camera to find the tube (think rail camera).

So glad y’all are back!!! The progress on IG has been great but I missed y’all’s videos!

So glad you are back. Thanks!

Jesse, Have Alyssa hold the tape at the base of where your measuring from. Then climb up the ladder and pull the tape tight. Pull your measurement from bottom to top as opposed from the top down.

Or just get a laser measuring tool for as little as $50.

So happy to see you guys again, missed you, :( Can't wait to see more of your life and your upcoming Home!

Happy to see you back!

Missed you guys so much. Glad you're back, as your videos are the first ones I look for on YT every day...

Thanks for coming back.

Welcome back. Hoping you made your goal before the snow fell.

Aaaah at last thank goodness you guys are back.

Yaaaaayy!! The wait is over, happy to see you guys again! =D

Glad to see you both again. I know things have been crazy lately.

Your relationship and your work are much appreciated. On top of that it is great to see you again. Thank you for the fix. God Bless,

She´s gonna be such a good mom

Every time they say they have an announcement, that's what I think. Then it's something else .

Thank you for the fix...my video withdrawal symptoms are over, glad to see you back again after a long sabbatical...enjoy your videos.

so good to see video's again after a long time and the build is moving along .cant wait for next one

thank you for the video. hope you got some rest. i am glad the timber frame is up. the push can slow down some. stay safe.

I am amazed with your ability to 'see in the dark'! Your measuring skills are beyond belief.

Building your dream home must be a 'piece of cake'... when you have Wonder Woman working with you as a tream member. Alyssa is a very powerful person!

Yeah your back!!!!!! I have been loving the pictures, but I miss the videos. So glad to see the Timber frame done

Good to have you back, well worth the wait.

I'm sooo happy to see you guys back :-)

This is fantastic! I have been missing the videos, but I have been keeping with the photos on Instagram. Just think that there was a hole in the ground a few months ago. Get rested and clear you head for the next step n the bbuilding process. I have been watching since the beginning and love you guy. Thanks for sharing.

I see all the "experts" are back too.

Good to see you back!!!

Nice to see you guys rolling again.

Yup. I'm also glad they took time off.

Glad you’re back!!! Missed you. Saw the frame on FB and it’s beautiful! Can’t wait to see the story of how it got that way.

yep definitely glad for an update. keep it up guys

I am glad to see you back on KZread. I have been watching on Face Book too!

Great to see you back

Whoohoo You're back.. Fantastic...

thank you for coming back im brad from mn been watching you two for at least a year thank you for all the videos makes me think about building a home or cabin

I was having withdrawal, WELCOME BACK!

I would say, that you are partially correct on your rant about effective load bearing on solid wooden beam vs I-beam and holes for plumbing, electrical and so on. Have you ever wondered why the I-beam is shaped the way it is. Well, the sheet (web) in between the top and bottom is actually mostly a spacer, the load is carried by the beefier section at top and bottom (flanges). The top flange is receiving compression load and the bottom flange is enduring tension load. By not allowing the top and bottom flanges to deflect nor stretch during their load they stand the load. The same thing applies to a solid wooden beam, it just has more wood where its actually not needed. That gives that you can make holes in a solid wooden beam, but as always you have to follow some guidelines, even with your engineered beams you cant go bananas with the holesawing. Making a 2" hole in a 6" beam does not make it an effective load bering equivalent to a 4" beam, thats false. You can make a hole with a diameter of half the beamheight of the beam if it is on centerline and stays atleast two times the beam height away from half the span respectively the beginning and end of the beam. The key is that you do not want to weaken the flanges. The height of the beam/truss is one crucial element to its loadbearing capabilites. By using the engineered product (as you call them) you can separate the top and bottom flanges without the need of a huge tree, and only put material where it is actually needed, hence the cost effectiveness. It is essentially a truss, but with a solid sheet instead of webs and bracing. The good thing with the wooden I-beams is that they have a long contact area (where the osb-board is glued to the top and bottom flange. So the load is spread out compared to a tradional truss where there a point loads from the webs. As mentioned before solid wooden beam is thick everywhere, even where its actually not needed and that makes it heavy, all beams have to bear their own weight. You could say that a solid wooden beam and an I-beam with the same outer dimension have the same total load bearing capabilites, except the solid weighs more and therefore have more "dead load" and must have less "live load".

I have to add that i really do enjoy your movies and journey, i've done it myself. But sometimes, there are a bit to many factoids, which in the end might fool somebody else. But that's ok, i don't know everything either, just be careful when ranting. However, i do think that choosing these (in lack of better words) engineered beams are a good choice. And if your are planning on having visible beams on second floor, just put as much as possible in the walls to avoid holes in the beams.

oh my god guys welcome back, I know my days are better when you'll are in them, cannot wait to see what you've been doing, because I waited and purposely did not check your Facebook feed for spoilers.

I'm so happy your vlogs are back you guys Rock

I love the cat, Comes out to inspect the work and goes right back to bed.

Great to have you back on the tube. We have had enough time off lol. Yal stay safe out there.

Glad you two are back. 👍

Yes, thank goodness it was a 31 min video. Missed you guys. Quyanaq (thank you in Inupiaq) from Alaska.

Glad to see the LSB is Made in Canada! Also glad to have another video!

LOL, both you folks look a little sun Cooked bro & bro-eena!. so glad you got through the processes intact. Jessie, I know you got haters and 'officious' professionals shooting holes at your process however,,, I've been an Professional licensed Land Surveyor, architectural designer/engineer for 20+ years. Although my experience, and research, into engineered timbers has intuitively given me the data you provided; your dissertation really encapsulated all the reasons engineered timbers are taking the forefront. Bottom line, in a linear grained product (natural wood) the strength goes with the grain. In an engineered product, because the grain is alternated between layers, the engineered timber can transfer stresses around a penetration rather than, in a natural, stranded material, the stresses are suddenly transferred to the bond between grains causing, as you pointed out, a situation were the strongest part of the member is a function of the maximum continuous width of the grain structure. OMG, protein, the breakfast of champions! Yea, Allysa with safety glasses!!!!! I, and I know many have been concerned about that! Crazy ass checking on that post although IMO the load will not be an issue, a couple laminated 2x4 could probably do the job!:-P If the checking in the bottom post get too you I'd think you could use a multi ton jack and replace them some day. Oy, live, learn, enjoy, you two will be loving your life regardless! IC you're using Micro-Lam. My first design project in Technical School (1981) used 2"x Micro-Lam Bents,,,before they perfected the ply style engineered timbers. Strangely enough my design looks a lot like yours and it indicates maybe genius in forever :-P (pic attached?) postimg.org/image/7v96y31px7/ In regard to 'the post', not to shoot holes, but you have a plumb bob,,,,,right??? Slab is sloping??? Clever relief solution notching the top of that joist, minimal sacrifice in strength and when you get the deck on it will be monolithic! I'm not a certified, licensed structural engineer but I think your solution nailed (no pun intended)! LOL, enough innuendo, I hope you guys are getting busy enough :-P Oh, that's right you been pounding it,,,, I mean the house :-P Glad you secured a videographer for the build, you guys must be exhausted. Cheers from down under (NZ) Don from Down under. (wishing I was there for the raising!)

Great to have you back. X

Thanks for getting the videos flowing again. Looking forward to the ever-evolving story.

Glad to see your back.

Yay! You're back. Hope all went well before and during the workshop!

Welcome back we have missed you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I Was starting to have Pure Living withdrawals

so good to see you back we mist you.

Thank you for sharing everything you have learned about the products you use. To some people it seems too redundant, but they can just slide forward if they don't want to learn anything. I find it useful and informative. You don't have to be an "expert" to share what you have learned. Thanks again you guys, keep up the excellent work!

I've missed your videos so much! Best wishes from Germany :)

each one of those joists should have a crown. when you put the sub-floor, flooring, and walls on it, it will go down 1/2 distance. when the furniture goes in it should settle in.

Glad to see you guys back! And glad to see eye and hearing protection!!

No more rakin' and cleaning backyard...half of Canada is watching your vid

Keep up the great work, I like waiting, cause it comes out so much better. You both do Lovely work..

certainly missed these. Great going guys

I can appreciate wanting to build your own home and doing it on the "cheap" as it were. When I first started watching, I was inspired, here was two people who had each others back and enduring all the hardships to build their dream life. Then the wife makes a video about how she hates what she's doing but is a means to an end. That took me back and I haven't watched much since. I kind of feel like I was lied to because she was so energetic and excited about "getting the job done". I thought to myself, how cool is it to have someone who shares your goals and is just into building just as much as you are. That was almost a virtual slap in my face. Now how I process this information and what not is all on me. I do think her honesty is a good thing. It must have weighed pretty heavy on her heart, so much so she made a pretty long video expressing how much she didn't like it. That is what killed it for me. I'm no expert and hope you two build a wonderful home.. I just can't watch anymore. After that revelation, it feels like what I'm watching has been tainted. My opinion doesn't amount to a hill of beans, just wanted you to know why I didn't subscribe. ( I normally watch a channel a bit before just smashing the sub button.) Again all the best to you and your other half. Congratulations on making it this far. I've dug basements by hand, so I know all about hard work.

Welcome back!!!!!

what a good way to end my day a PLFL video. glad to see things going well and a hot to boot. PTL

Glad to see you Guy's back, missed the up dates

Welcome back. I did soo miss watching your daily videos, but I doo understand why they became less frequent.

Good to see you again

Great to see you back on yt.

Glad to see you again! Great video Alyssa! you do realize when you are finished the house... you will have to be Bugaboo's video editor so he can have his own channel! lol.... we will need to keep up on his daily adventures! lol

Thank you for posting a long awaited video it's a great birthday present! I have missed your videos! building looks like it's coming along great.

Thumbs up guys! Looking great!

Glad you are back to KZread! Need a short of you chillin" in the hot tub whilst admiring your house frame!!!!!

Great to have you guys back! We are building a dog park, kernel on our homestead and we learned a lot from your videos. I need to get one of those head mount cams for our videos!

great to have you back!! miss the vids....

Kinda tough watching after seeing your FB, way to go guys!

I am going to be very interested to see how you tie the Timber Frame structural elements into the ICF foundation or sub-floor. When the wind starts to blow, will it push the Timber Frame off the foundation and first floor joists. If it was my home, I would run the Timber Frame upright elements all the way down to the concrete slab, and us some really big bolts to anchor the Timber Frame uprights into the ICF wall.

Glad to see that y’all are safe.

Glad y'all are back. Thanks for the video. 👍🇺🇸

It was well worth the wait. Great video. Great work. Thank you.

nice to have you back, really missed your daily vids.. looking forward to the rest of the build
