I find this all so interesting because here in South Africa we build with bricks. Building with wood is so different but interesting for me to see how it is done. Where we have beams, if the span is very long they use steel ones (as opposed to concrete lintels such as they use above windows). I have been watching your channel for years and I think the first one I watched was how to grout a tiled floor, so I was then able to do it myself. Thank you for all your hard work and effort, your channel is so educational. Greetings from Cape Town, South Africa.

Thank you! Wood is used here because we have so many forests and the lumber companies plant more trees each year than they cut down. Timber in the USA is a crop not unlike corn or soybeans. It just takes 30 / 40 years to harvest. Check out the new *THANKS* text link under all my videos!

The beam on the loft has to hold the Steinway. That's why it's so big.

No news about that yet. I'm going up to the site today to record more so long as the workers leave before dark. It's getting dark now at 4:30 PM.

Good video Tim, missing those live streams.

TNX Jason. Sad news about the live streams. I doubt I'll be doing more unless something drastic happens. I couldn't get any traction. Very few viewers when live and after they were posted to the channel with keyword-rich titles, not many views. For the time being I'm putting my time into things that either produce far greater revenue or *happiness*. At the end of the day it's all about HAPPINESS.

I tend to agree. It's very hard to find a first rate a carpenter tradesman anymore. These days young people find it a lot easier to sit behind a desk doing computer programing rather climb on a building doing physical labor swinging a hammer. Not to mention what the anti-labor politicians have done to Unions, the folks who actually trained the next generation of competent tradesmen.

I wear a tin-foil hat about this. I feel that the Overlords have systematically gotten rid of many of the vocational schools to dumb down the labor force. Add to this the Open-Borders policy, the culture change of people being self-centered instead of SELFLESS, and you have the recipe for falling quality. Decades ago construction workers felt they were in a VOCATION, not a job. They were so proud of their work, they'd sign it!

@@askthebuilder LOL wish we had an "Open Borders" policy. Right now I need 25 skilled concrete finishers and there are none to be found because the ones we had employed greencards expired and were forced to go back to Mexico, never to return. Very very few American kids are willing to do the work....

Is the mystery room a garage or not?

@askthebuilder Жыл бұрын
If you're talking about the huge room with two openings that are the exact size for overhead garage doors and a huge paved service terminates at said door openings, then my money is it's a garage.

Do you know of a good tape that will stick to cold, damp, wet metal?
@askthebuilder
@askthebuilder Жыл бұрын
No. Why wouldn't you dry off the metal and apply a normal good tape????
@chris76-01
@chris76-01 Жыл бұрын
@@askthebuilder that's what I'd prefer to do but I seem to run into a lot of circumstances where it's the middle of the night and I need to patch up some damp metal and even after drying with a towel, most tapes don't want to stick and I don't have any other way to dry it better.
