I'm going to say the roofers have the worst job. Not sure about the heat in Nebraska but Florida and Texas are brutal. Then of course there's always falling off that wouldn't be fun. Insulation is another job I wouldn't like. Especially when you're hot and sweaty
It would be an honour to have a contractor like you, Brad to build a house for anyone. I love how you pay so much attention to detail. Flair will have no problem getting his house back to normal with you on the job.😀👍❤️❤️
The worst jobs in construction video would be interesting. For me it was roofing or anything that involved insulation. My last construction job was setting modular homes and I had to crawl around in a lot of basements and attic crawl spaces lagging and installing straps. I was good if it had any insulation but fiberglass. And roofing I just hated the heights sucked but more so it was always 20 degrees hotter I hate it when it gets too hot
I think you should tell Andrew that it would be best if he built a duplicate house at the other end of his property so in the event of another tornado, he can just stay in whichever house isn't damaged. 😉
U don’t find people like Brad very much nowadays. I know for 100% Mr. Brown is a Saint and there’s a special seat awaiting him. The amount of small damage that adds up quick and dealing with homeowners insurance sounds pretty miserable. His house isn’t fixed yet but he’s down there fixing Andrews. Keep the videos coming sir. Can’t get enough and helps me escape my wheelchair for a little while.
Bird flu probably going back around. I havent had any issues in omaha but its that time of the year where the migrating birds bring their diseases back up north and spread to our birds. Besides cleaning everything as best as possible and some extra vitamins in their water but other than that it just has to pass
In my experience with runoff or muddy areas, use Rip-Rap rock as a deep base rock bed to build on. To balance the stairs on the Rip-Rap, it will take some skilled stone workers. Put the Rip-Rap on top of (Hard Pack) it's like a granite or marble dust from your local stone quarry. Some pine straw in and around is a good long-term weed prevention when you're done because you 're going to be pulling weeds from those rocks Rip-Rap is also good to keep your cow sheds dry even with all the pee & 💩.
You need to turn your 2x4 over so the widest part is where they stand on for the roost. They don’t have feet like other birds and appreciate a wider place to stand while sleeping. They will also crouch down and cover their feet with their feathers and it will help them stay warm
You should do a video where you talk about insurance and houses like you are helping flare out and you're dealing with yourself you don't have to go into full detail but she can make up a scenario because you build houses
I hate the word "outdated", but if one prefers white brick to red brick, for whatever reason, it's good to know how to do it correctly. It certainly looks a lot better than vinyl siding and less boring than any kind of lapped siding.
It looks like they just used mud or a fin sand to level them. You should put a medium with a fine gravel on top. Then it wont wash away. Or something permanent like grout or some type of cement.
mask up for chicken poo , dont make the wife mask up for Diatomaceous Earth, come on guys we can do better, still love the vids and am learning from you!
Brad, Duke is beautiful. He reminds me somewhat of our old timer, Max. He's about 75lb and the sweetest, most loveable, well-behaved (relatively) pup I've ever had. He'll be 13yo this year. What are your other dogs names (the two that were outside. It is cute how the little one follows the black pup. Are they always a team? Do your dogs get along with Patch? Is Patch gone for good, or just a bit? He's such a great dog, despite him collecting all the shoes left outside. We are currently fostering a dog that my daughter rescued. She is about 85lb (about 110lb when full grown), 1 year old, part Leonberger Mastiff. Google them. She's beautiful, very sweet but is a LOT of dog for us to have in our house with our 2 dogs, me with my walker/chair and pretty much everything from the lowest level of our house sitting in my living room currently. I had a flood in my basement about 2 weeks ago now and it's been a royal pain in the butt. I could go on and on, but will hold back. I wish I knew how to deal with what the suggestions are as far as preventative/repair work goes!!! Could sure use a buddy who's a builder about now, hahaha! Kidding - you have enough on your plate! Even with all the damage to your home, it is beautiful. Can you do another walk-thru of it now that you've been there for a bit? I don't recall if we saw it furnished before. Either way, it is lovely. I love the high ceilings and brightness of it, even if thee is the odd window boarded up. Your daughter Sammy and grandkiddos are lovely. I have a niece named Samantha that we call Sammy too. Love that name. You mentioned that Nate recently got married. How is Max doing these days? The broken outdoor stairs at your house are such a shame. They're such gorgeous pieces of stone. I have no suggestions about how to prevent the washout of the soil underneath, but I'm sure someone will! Thanks for a great video, Brad. Heather🇨🇦
