Juston "the neighbor " is the unheralded hero on this job. The brains behind the project.

Love Justin 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

@jberg8159 29 күн бұрын

He’s a very talented carpenter, no doubt about it.

@davidmager2827 29 күн бұрын

Juston deserves a lot of credit for calculating the step height and platform locations in order to account for the yet to be installed wood flooring and the oak treads to be installed on the stairs. The key to installing stairs is that the rise on every step is exactly the same to prevent people from tripping.

It'd be interesting with a YT channel with Justin and Roman.

This has got to be the cleanest construction site of all time

@leetingler619 29 күн бұрын

I saw a suggestion for an elevator. I concur. If not installing now, make provision for one later by building the space for it. This way, you can do it later😊

@HabitualButtonPusher Ай бұрын

Where those “secret stairs” are in the main bedroom. Consider a murphy type door with shelves so the space can be useful for storage and some soundproofing. In fact may want to double insulate the main bedroom for when your kids are teenagers. You’ll thank me when you’re older haha

Justin is a stair building wizard. His skills are impressive. Roman is such an energetic worker. He would be hard to keep up with if I had to work beside him. The house is coming together.

@harveyrousejr.2069 Ай бұрын

I have enjoyed the house re-build as much as the farming videos. Justin and Roman are very talented.

@fredericrike5974 29 күн бұрын

Nahhhh- they are "just farmers", some of the most broadly gifted and determined people you will ever meet. Any "farmer's day" is taking care of whatever is on fire at that moment- from seeding to reaping, from mere repair to rebuilding, they tend to do it all and usually only contract our after they prove it is outside their wheelhouse. Something the Cornstars look to be well able to do.

@katiek1856 Ай бұрын

I love the (almost) daily updates on this construction project. I’ve been following your channel since before Nav came along. KZfaq recommended your channel because I had been watching old home restoration videos. You were only in the “decluttering” stage 😂 but I stuck around and I feel like I’ve been with you the whole time cheering you on. I know it’s going to look amazing when you’re done.

You guys crack me up with your “games”. Cole you are paying for all of that wood. You have 2 boys. You could make them building blocks with the scrap pieces of wood. I remember building all kinds of stuff with building blocks there were DIY from my Dad. You could even paint them in different colors & shapes. So they become educational as well as fun. Save yourselves the money now. At that young age they are just as happy to play with boxes. Little Eddie will enjoy stacking & knocking over stuff. Just an idea for all the scraps you have. Wood isn’t cheap. Looking good guys!

Just to say I've been watching your videos for years. I wanted to see chaos of the surrounding areas changed. To see what it is now. Now again with the house, all that labor and watching it come around from wanting to preserve a family legacy. Also I wanted to say that I watched a video recently were a wife gave her husband a gift of a new type of glasses for color blindness. Watching him seeing color for the first time in his life was all inspiring. Maybe Justin might look into that. Best of luck with the house

Home transformations are incredible to watch! While I have watched others struggle with building stairs, you guys make it look effortless. Another observation, you guys work well together. Your brains seem to be in sync and you all have a sense of humor, the latter of which is proven, as you have managed to not kill each other.... yet.

Very nice. You three get a lot done in a day. One suggestion: check for potential problems getting larger items (beds, dressers, etc) up the stairs. You may need to make railings removable and not have half walls between the stairs. I lived in a 2nd floor apartment added to an old house with a 90 degree entry and exit to the stairs. It was very, very difficult moving in and out.
