Building Our POST And BEAM Roof
Рет қаралды 582,164
3 жыл бұрынThe 16' tall posts for our front deck were extremely bowed when we installed them which means in order for us to move on and install the beams for the roof we will first need to straighten out the posts. We work to pull the posts in and install each of the beams for the deck roof while battling 100+ degree humid weather and vicious summer lightning storms.

We are a couple who are building our own home from the ground up in the mountains of West Virginia. After living near the city our entire lives we finally decided to sell it all, pack up our 3 kids and live in an RV on our 73 acres while building our own debt free, off-grid house and learning to live a more self-reliant life.
Our house build is documented entirely on our main channel "Wild Wonderful Off-Grid" and our family life vlogs can be found on our secondary channel "Wild Wonderful After Show"

There is a TV show in the UK called Grand Designs that is one hour long per episode and shows unusual houses that take about 3 years average with a full compliment of tradesmen working on them. You blow every single episode out of the water from 14 years of that show. This is magnificent work.
@ColdFlame23 3 жыл бұрын
I love that show also, but these guys are certainly more interesting... Granted, if we got to follow a twice a week episode of Grand Designs that was focused on some of their projects, it would probably be interesting too! :)

I can't stand grand designs as its usually smug middle class wankers that try to get the job done dirt cheap by employing Muppets, and you think this is better? They shit themselves every lightening storm but live in a timber house with no discernable lightening conductor system, dodgy at best.

For an electrician and school teacher, you guys are darn good carpenters! Some say it's over kill on these decks, but look at the storms and it is a forever home, so I say it's not only strong but an attractive deck with every post and piece of hardware you choose to use. Just amazing work, Teacher and Electrician!!!

I’ve been watching from the beginning. Josh is a master electrician, but his brain is so much more. Normal people don’t understand what he does. I don’t think anybody else could do this build unless his brain could figure it out. He has a high mathematical intelligence and that is the key to their success as well as Erin’s wonderful ability to work and help him. Of course they have a common goal, but I am blown away at his intelligence. I have no doubt they will succeed at any of their endeavors. Look forward to seeing the rest of the build.

When Josh was spraying the bug spray you brought up an important point. “We are an hour away from medical help..”. In one of your previous videos you were advertising medical packs. Medical packs are only valuable if someone has the training to use them. Your kids are always bebopping around on their toys, and you can always be stung, also your attention to safety isn’t always a priority. You may want to consider taking an advanced course through Wilderness Medical Associates. The course deals with serious injuries and anaphylactic shocks. Keep some Benadryl handy and by being current with WMA, you might even be able to keep epinephrine on hand.

@@dubious6718 probably still looking at over an hour to get one deployed, and very expensive.
