What do you charge the Metabo too? 200psi? Does it have an auto shut off/auto start? The nailer only needs about 75psi so charging to 200psi may be unnecessary. What do you do?

I am curious but why not have a double stud nailed together where the plywood breaks or even a wider wood member like a 3x6?

Wow, man. I watched most of your series. Great work!

Do you have a material/cut list for the platform? Any blueprints or diagrams on just that part?

Amazing!!

To be young and be able to go, go, and go. I love it.

Could you just put a support beam in the middle and use a few 2x12s nailed together?

That doesn't work.

As a retired design/construction engineer you did a great job. No overkill at all. After I retired and became a farmer again I love to get down in the dirt and build things by hand. It’s not necessarily about whether it’s overkill or not, sometimes it’s just about the satisfaction of doing something in the best way possible and doing it well enough that future generations will get to enjoy the fruit of your labor. Congratulations.

Get a heavy slate bar to help in digging. Really helps a lot.

Talk about a labor of love! Holy crap that was perfection every step of the way! That thing is going NOWHERE!

How long before those nuts and bolts start rusting though? Is that really spec? Genuinely curious? Not trying to be a dipshit

2:05 Bad planning is why people get killed on construction site. Use more brain, less muscles.

Take a sander without sandpapper and vibrate the sona tube no voids of concrete !

9:41 I dug down 5 feet three foot around filled it with Lafarge fiberglass 10:15 concrete up to the top of the ground level let it dry then installed 16;inch Sonna tubes so it is like an upside down mushroom used a water level from Home Depot pressure treated 2 x 10 's on a mile of ocean frountsge at the southern east tip of Nova Scotia in Canada

We are about to rebuild our cabin that was built directly on the ground about 80 years ago. The ground there is very very rocky, and less than a foot of shoveling its impossible to dig more. (Its almost impossible to pin a tent there without curving the hooks while trying to plan them). No way we can do what your do for your footing. What would you suggest ?

I want to install a similar system but my pre-plumbing has a drain pipe connecting directing into the water supply line, what am i supposed to do with the drain line?

Does anyone know his location in the US??

Where are you?? Up in Maine?? Thought you might go deeper to 4' for up there. great build info. Just what I need to see. By the way and you don't want to hear this, but you could glue down your OSBs then use ring shanks for nailing. Just as good as screws.

Hey, great progress with that laser leveler!!!! That first beam was perfect. Great job!!!

Looks like a very informative start to the cabin. I love hearing about this! I was thinking about this sort of foundation work for a small wood cabin in the woodsy area.

Great job and great step by step explanation. Think I would have gone with an 8’ deck, the overhang would hide the (kinda ugly) supports.

I somehow doubt this is av"rookie".

Somehow I didn't see this episode until just now! Thank you so much. Have you allowed your wife to see any of this interior work yet?

I suggest if you would like to see how they might look 10 years down the road...You take a look at some homes that were build 100 yrs ago without all you worrisome needless B.S....These homes, like mine, are STILL standing on logs hewn from timber, used as posts. And guess what? They didnt have Home Depot in 1882! 😂

You built this in ten minutes?? Wow.

How do the external walls deal with water? Looks like there are horizontal gaps of 1 or 2 inches every 8 to 12 inches? When it rains or snow or ice melts where does the water go?

Imagine drinking that water unfiltered for years. What would your insides look like?

The boxes are to join wires together not bend it 90 degrees. You risk damaging the wire insulation bending it that tight.

Did you use 8" or 10" concrete tube forms?

Floor insulation?

I don’t understand why such a little gap is such an issue when you’re going to have siding butting up to the brick mould-- If the door operates smoothly just insulate it and the siding will cover the gap.

Man a proper table saw and a corded track miter saw would have made your life and build experience a lot more pleasant

That sumbitch ain’t goin nowhere

For the floor I’d a used three-quarter inch tongue and groove plywood and glue

Do yo ever listen to blind delon?

Ima use bci or tji joists for rafters- they’re tall for insulation but light and strong 👊😎

nice work enjoyed the vid 🙏

Excellent job

Rookie my ass

Iam a carpenter getting ready to build my own house up in the mountains and this is a great series. All of the carpentry and framing to me is second nature but rarely i deal with foundations and footers. Unfortunately where iam looking is very rocky soil so it should be fun. Love working with my hands for a living and is a definitely rewarding job for sure

Thanks for sharing with other "beginners" ! it will save us time and maybe money !

This guy is not a rookie.

Watched for 15 seconds him MNO rookie! Man knows what hes doing😮

Pulleys and come-alongs are your friend. I install larger beams than in the video by myself with no grunting or hernias. Moving beams on the ground using dollies and pipes to roll beams around.

Great video, perfect amount of detail while not taking too long on any one area. I'm curious how well this might work but with a little more height. I plan to do something similar, but we can get pretty deep snowfall here, I'd like to keep the first floor above the snow pack. Would something like this work with say a 6' high post on each pier? Just have the bracing start low?

That's skoogum as frick but the braces seem unnecessary since the bottom is held by piers, and the top held together by the beams, and beams held by joists. You'd have to be like 12 tons to make that thing wobble without the braces. Not sure how big your GF is.

Definitely taking notes 📝

Tres beau projet slt du Quebec

Just curious, why the nails between the subfloor? Is that to let it breathe. If so, it tongue and groove bad for subfloors?
