In this video, it's time to build the back wall. I did my due diligence and got quotes for the wall but as always, I decided to do it myself. The back wall is a different beast than the front one. With my fear of heights, it definitely was an accomplishment. I DIY'ed some wood scaffolding and that helped the whole process out. One step closer to finishing this A-Frame! Let's go!!!

Im re-plumbing my home with Pex pipe right now as under slab copper is beginning to fail. Always the cost saving is what motivates me to take on a project. Can’t say I enjoy it but it’s always good to learn something new.

Man 1 thing that motivate me to do it myself is them crazy prices from people , people not wanting to work, or me just ending up doing the work over because some people have different work quality

Great job brother! I just quit my job not too long back after my wife and I sold our house and moved to a more affordable area. I had built boats/yachts for the last 18ish years. This is our next goal for our family.

Love it! I am doing the same thing here VERY soon in Del Rio. Although I have a master carpenter friend coming to help framing. If you need help with the interior over the next few months, please let me know. I'm a retired vet and would love to come out and help (I have my own tools). I wouldn't ask for anything. The experience and ideas would benefit me greatly. Just let me know.

Congratulations, buddy! It’s great to have help. I’m all set. The build is nearing completion as the build is a good amount ahead of the videos. Best of luck on your build. I’m sure you’re going to crush it! 🙏👍

@kenallen6866 11 ай бұрын

I would live to know the number of man-hours you have invested in that wall and the rate in which you feel 1 hour of your time is worth. I feel like that is a calculation that needs factored in just for fun. You are not paying yourself of course but a dollar for dollar comparison would suggest we factor in labor.

how are you friend I watch your videos regularly. I like this frame house very much. I want to know from you, if I make this frame house in Bangladesh, will it be good? Here the temperature is high and the storm rains. Will I benefit from doing it here? I was waiting to know the doctrine. I love this three-story frame house. Please let me know the approximate cost in your country.

@darryldarks Жыл бұрын

I’m great! How are you? Thank so much for watching my videos. I don’t know much about Bangladesh. Sorry about that. However, as long as you’re building your house on solid ground and you follow all the best practices of construction such as using the right sized lumber, nails, screws, etc. And, you’ve installed them correctly, you should be totally fine. Canyon Lake, TX also has heavy rain storms, especially today, and the building has held up fine. Thank God! I’m going to be releasing a cost breakdown video once the build is complete. So stick around. 🙏👍😀
