We are a family of four, building our new home, farm, and permaculture orchard. We left behind a decade of experience in retail management to take our side hustle of DIY remodeling and flipping houses and hobby farming and turn it into building our dream home, and hopefully, a business growing good food for our local community.

Good video
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 😀
I’d say always use an approved polyurethane sealant, not regular caulk or silicone caulk!
Are you talking about for when we seal around the base, or something else? If around the base, why not a high quality silicone caulk? My understanding is that they both do well in wet conditions, but that the silicone won't take paint (not an issue) but lasts longer. Can you share why you'd recommend the poly sealant?
@@CornucopiaOrchards if you search there is a list of approved sealants, all polyurethane and none that I know of are silicone. Plus if in the future it ever needs repair once you use silicone not much else will stick where the silicone was!
Thanks! Looks like they recommend just using their same GoBoard sealant, which is a poly, so we will just grab another tube or two and use that, then use the silicone for the tile to shower base gap. 👍
@@CornucopiaOrchards use a color matching caulk that matches your grout!
Polyurethane sealant will end up under all the tile when all finished. Seal all GoBoard with the recommended polyurethane sealant even the GoBoard tub/shower flange! Seal tile in any surface where walls change directions such as corners with a color matching caulk(some do come in silicone)! Remember the walls will move in different directions depending on inside and outside temperatures and humidity. Grout in corners will eventually crack!
I had a fellow do the mudding in my house this summer. He's been at it for decades. He still gets bubbles here and there. It's inevitable. That said, he got way way less than the room I did myself. It is an art. Be careful in the sanding. Get lights which are way brighter than usual, you need light to see defects. Shine the light parallel to the wall as opposed to towards the face, you see more.
Helps to know that some of it is just gonna happen. Good advice, thank you!
you get bubbles when the mud isnt applied well underneath the tape when it dries
I think I was either not applying enough or too thin... Good to have it confirmed by someone who knows what they're talking about! 😅
What size finishing nail are you using in your nail gun? Thanks!
Actually using either a 2 3/8" .116 gauge galvanized ring shank or 1 1/2", depending on what I am shooting where. Window trim I am mostly using the 2 3/8", because I know I have solid backing. The general siding field was mostly the smaller size. If you have it, smaller nails in a coil gun would be faster and cheaper. Galvanized is a good idea.
Tapping is just a pain in the neck. It looks like you guys are finding your rhythm. Casey figured it out it looks like. Looks great though
Yeah, it's more art and technique, not my strong suits, but Casey's. We're getting there!
I'm getting ready to do this myself but with a tub. Is there any reason you wouldn't seal between the bottom of the GoBoard and the tub/shower pan flange?
I wanted to double check if they recommended just caulk or the GoBoard specific sealant. Either should work according to the rep. I plan on also running a caulk bead between the tile and the base, which is pretty universal.
i will try the double fence as I need to protecty garden from: deer, possums, raccoons, rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, rodents. Also the container garden will be on landscape fabric or tarps to keep weeding in control if I add solar electrcity to the fence.
Raccoons are climbers, too. Through the summer you may want to put some of the anti rodent spray around the outside perimeter, as well. Might help with chipmunks and squirrels at the same time, they go right through most fences.
great job! :)
Thanks! 😊
Originally uploaded as the wrong video, this is *actually* our install of GoBoard! 😆
Video has nothing to do with GoBoard.
I was super confused until I checked and saw that I had uploaded the video that was supposed to come after the GoBoard instead... My apologies, and thank you for letting me know! I will upload the GoBoard video for Tuesday or Wednesday. So sorry again!
I built the same stairway platform when I did ours drywall years ago. It’s all looking great
😆 No idea how pros do it, I just didn't want to work off a ladder. Sounds like it's more of a tried and true method than I knew! 😄
Two questions I was DM'd I thought I'd answer here: 1) Is the foam board a problem over top of the kraft paper (both are vapor retarders)? A: The foam board should not be at a 2" depth or less, and with nothing sandwiched in between them. 2) Wouldn't furring strips be cheaper? Yes, the furring strips would have cost the same as about 2 sheets of this 2" foam board. We needed about 10 sheets for this project. However, they would have offered no other benefits. This attic is going to have a lot of heat pressure, and the added insulation value and thermal bridging gap should help prevent heat loss in the winter and heat gain from the dark-color roofing in the summer.
It really looks great
Originally I uploaded this video, I had the wrong file. Find the video on GoBoard now uploaded here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qIJkz9eeZNGnaaQ.html
Love the videos, keep em coming!
Thanks! Will do!
You are moving right a long. I like the process 😊
I did pretty minimal research on how to, just made sure I understood the code requirements and manufacturer directions. I am learning a lot as I go on this one!
I thought we were framing a deck?
? This video is about framing for a deck? Are you looking for putting the decking on? We cover that a few videos later
Tiniest towels storage will look interesting if you can do it. But will it be used?
I'm going with a strong maybe 🤔😂
Iam hoping that you ,show some of the work being done,try not to talk as much,lol
I try to cover the basics of what I am doing at least once, but as there are literally hundreds more qualified and talented professionals out there showing their work, I feel any value I have to add to the conversation is in the thought process, the planning, and from the inexperienced angle. Also, unlike most everyone else on social media, we have not earned a penny from anyone for this, as our channel has not reached monetization. I (Jeremy) am doing almost all the work solo and have less than 4 full days a week I can spend working, as Casey works the other days to support us and I am a SAHD. I have gotten that comment before and will try to show more action, but setting up and moving for action shots takes a lot more time, so no guarantees for now. Thank you for the feedback!
I know the hard work that goes into building a house, I do like the conversations,but I would love to see the work being done,the house looks amazing.
@@ronaldwedlock620 Fair enough, I'll try!
Looks awesome. I really like what you all have done with your house build. :)
There is an app for everything. Drywall is looking great. Mud fixes everything 😊
It's pretty crazy. Individual light bulbs have apps now. 😆 Yeah, the mud part is the part we've rushed in the past (the sheetrock itself our sin before was trying to use all the scraps). Excited to get into it and do better work than I've done before.
You need the drywall drill that holds racks of screws.
I bought a collated screw gun in a bulk order, they didn't have it so gave me the display until it came in and it was straight broken. 😂 One of the next videos I'm using one, they sure are hard to get to sink properly. I'm getting used to slamming the board up fast and then going back to finish sinking a third of the screws. Not sure if I'm daft or that's common? 🤷
For those wondering: the foam board does act as a vapor retarder, similar in water passing through to the kraft paper with asphalt that backs the batts. They are sandwiched directly together, and neither is completely vapor impermeable--and they are only being sandwiched on part of a cathedral ceiling, so I'm not worried about condensation happening between them. I haven't seen others on KZread use ducting strap for holding up insulation--usually it is small wires cut to just the right length, sightly wider than the space between joists. I like the strapping because it is a little cheaper for the area to be covered, I feel a little quicker to install, and does not take up any space at all in the area between joists where the insulation should be.
🤣😂🤣😂
Always doing a great workout before tackling any job is beneficial for stamina 😂😂😂😂 - looking good 👍
Thank you! Yeah, we may have just watched Road House...

Thank you! Not excited to spend a few weeks choosing between wearing a mask and eating fiberglass particles but batt insulation is easy and I'm stoked to get in and knock it out quick!
@@CornucopiaOrchards I cant wait for us to buy land, we are moving to Maine as my Wife has received a Job Transfer to Scarborough, only problem is that fact the the economy is horrible and hard to find a rental, so we can look to by land to build our home...
@@2point..0 it's harder and easier than you think at the same time, frustrating and so satisfying. Good luck finding land to call your own!
@@CornucopiaOrchards Thanks and have a happy Easter with your family!!! Ps. Don't put all of your eggs in one basket :)
Looks good….is it just the camera angle but does the outbuilding slant inward towards the house ?
Thank you! I 'm not sure what outbuilding you mean? If you mean the scaffold, then yes... We did not always get it perfectly plumb, haha!
@@CornucopiaOrchards no …I think it’s just the camera angle. If you watch the beginning it almost looks like the house addition’s roof slants in towards the main house wall . So I have been research LP. And hardie board a lot . It seems like there have been issues with water absorbion with the LP , have you had issues with this? I think since it’s new I doubt it would be an issue yet . It looks great though…pretty challenging for one guy I’d say !
@@smgri steep hillside and I didn't always get the camera plumb 😂 We have some scraps that have been left out in direct exposure all winter, like sitting in water on the deck... Unpainted cut sides definitely swelled. Factory unpainted sides swelled a little. I think under proper installation conditions it'll last well. I would be careful to get a good layer of paint on every cut end and on the trim where the sides are exposed.
@@CornucopiaOrchards yup that’s what I hear …definitely keep up on the paint job and seal the ends . They also say don’t have a water lawn sprinkler hit it in the fine print __ which seems a bit insane since there is thing that they call rain …😕🧐!
Congratulations on passing inspection
Thanks! We are *thrilled* to feel like the project has forward momentum again. Felt like we got "stuck" on the rough trades phase.
More than a year has passed, but we finally got our framing inspection. These stairs passed.
For reference, the fence has been up now for all 4 seasons. After putting the garden to bed, we've kept plants in here that the herd of deer DESTROYS outside the fence and the only time there has been in here is when the boys have left the gates open...
Kind of late to the party, but you seem to have a good need for quality construction. But despite an apparent attention to details. I am surprised you didn't apply ZIP tape to the top of your deck joists! Sure, it's pressure treated wood. But all the injection "divots" will hold rainwater from the seemingly endless rainshowers and fail prematurely, especially with exposure to sunlight on rainfree days. Enjoying the playlist with our disabled son. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for the kind words! I did consider taping the joists. I actually spoke with a huber rep and they discouraged me from using the zip tape for that application. My experience with this type of PT in this area is that it can last 20 years or more before replacement. The first house I remodeled 8 years ago had a stapled sticker that was covered and still legible that indicated it was from the 90s. That deck's PT was at the point of becoming dangerous, I'll grant you. Oregon is wet really just through the spring where I live, and then pretty much dry the rest of the year. I would have looked at a fully covered porch and maybe taped too if I lived on the coast, or somewhere that got more than 30 inches/4 months of light rain a year like this part of the valley. The deck boards we got are (limited) warrantied, for 25 years... so I figured on the upper deck where there is more exposure, we'd probably be replacing both in 20, or, depending on how the deck boards actually wear on a farm with kids, maybe the deck boards sooner and select PT boards at the same time. I'm glad you and your son are enjoying watching!
Also check out the roof build that covers this porch here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/fXiemLCgoKzVmNo.html and here you can catch the deck extension start and the raised deck on the lower half of the house: kzread.info/dash/bejne/n5uBscGMdtO7ZZs.html Thanks for watching!
Great idea on the rain screen strips for a more economical option. I may copy this idea for our build. Would basically be similar to the Keene EasyFur product, although that has a 10 mm thickness. I noticed that Mortair Vent does make a 10 mm product in addition to the 6mm option shown here, so I may use that for a little extra drying potential. One suggestion, though. For proper installation, I believe the product needs to be installed with the mesh side facing the sheathing and the fabric covering facing outward. However, that's probably more critical when using a reservoir cladding like stucco, brick or stone to keep mortar from plugging the drainage mat. Best wishes on your build.
That makes sense, not sure why I thought that was the front! You're right though, I don't think it will have any negative impact on our install but it sure would on brick. We did end up receiving and using some 10mm that was shipped to us instead of 6mm that we ordered. The 10mm was a little bit trickier with trim to make it stay in plane, but doable.
Wow every fitting in the house is a sharkbite? Cost alone is insane. The entire internet will need an update video from you every year to see how long this lasts
Outside of the main "panel" it is fewer fittings than you might be thinking, very few corners used and most runs a full line from start panel to end point. I will grant you the push connect fittings are more expensive for sure. It helped a lot to buy in bulk. Based on 2 estimates I did get I saved several thousand dollars on the whole system doing it myself, so that more than balanced out. Less than 10% is outside the building's envelope and less than 1% is not buried in insulation. Our climate is pretty mild, so there is little chance of failure due to freezes. None of the joints are under lateral pressure, so in theory it should last just fine. 😄 I will definitely share if we start having problems! If there is a "next" time I will likely try to run all in copper.
@@CornucopiaOrchards I would do it myself too will all pex, but just use the cheaper crimp fittings instead of sharkbites
@@topper009 I just perused the same bulk supply I bought from, it looks like with brass crimp it would have been about half the cost per fitting and with plastic, maybe a third, though I am leery of plastic (I didn't use the plastic push connect either). Biggest part of the budget was the manifolds for sure, if I had been willing to use plastic I could have saved a couple hundred there.
I couldn’t stop looking at the stump.
That's just a really big blade of grass. Definitely part of the lawn.
What are you editing on? Cause a few editors to render HDR video poorly. A good example is FCPX. You have to have a lut to convert the HDR to rec 708.
Interestingly enough it is bad when processed through davinci but the videos were that way coming off the phones (and looked bad even on the phones!) Only one of 5 different players on my computer didn't make it even more washed out and bright.
It is really great that you are finally off the roof and working inside. Great to see a little bit of drywall installed. Looking forward to see your HVAC system installed
Thanks, man! I'm impatient to get to the insulation and all the rest of the drywall, but it will be really exciting to get the behind the wall stuff done soon!
Happy New Year from the UK.
Same to you!! Here's to hoping 2024 is a great year!
Us real tin knockers use hard pipe and insulate it… looks like homeowners did it.
Well, in this case, I am the homeowner... 🤣 I made use of almost every last foot of duct we ordered, so it it is patched for sure. I have a lot of respect for people in the trades with the experience and OCD to make their trades look great even if they'll be buried in the walls. Curious though, do you mean all the individual branch lines we did in flex? Almost entirely a cost decision. I was able to get the flex lines done for half the cost it would have been for metal. If I had the decision to make again after what I've learned, I might have gone with all metal anyway. But on the other hand, I do not like all-metal duct systems for small residential because they carry sound far too well. The metal ducts in my last house, we could hear kids through the ducts all the way across the house--over 70' of duct, multiple elbows and a box between. Is there something that helps with that, other than not having kids? 😁
Monster here 😂
And you're a monster. Aaahhh! 😂😂😂😂😂
Guilty... 😬😈
I think it depends on how much you consume in a day
Before kids, 1-2 big mugs. With kids, 2-4 big mugs. 😁 So there isn't a point in cleaning it, really. Just going to get more coffee. 🤷
It’s called seasoning. 😅
Have a Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎄🎁🎄.
Same to you!

What you did is impressed me, you want to protect your patio and the way you build the polls foundation is great , will last for ever , concrete prevents damage from the water , great work .
