@wheelbarrowfriend2035 7 лет назад

Wow Alyssa is amazing. Still so patient and good-natured after all the mistakes. My girl would probably say "just pay the gdamn professionals already."

@horizons3844 7 лет назад

wow, this channel has grown. good job.

@robertmorris8709 7 лет назад

Hello, My name is Robert and I have been following your journey. I would like to suggest in the nicest way I can to mention that you might take an hour of your time to build a six foot wide step and top platform and steps going into you flooring area. this will help carrying loads, and give you better access with wheel borrow. You have plenty of lumber to do and it will be easy to dismantle later. Sooner or later someone is going to trip and get hurt.

@codylinnartz7599 7 лет назад

happy for yall! keep up the good work! Lucky guy; ))

@lancesurgeon7614 7 лет назад

Really don't understand why you guys aren't wearing some sort of tool belt/nail apron. Saves thousands of steps always having your tools and supplies on you instead of on the other side of the job site. There is a very good reason construction workers use them and it isn't to look cool.

@artokiiskinen1058 7 лет назад

Safety first! You dont like to fall from any height, or finish your home alone while the other person died splitting his/her skull when falling from a single-plank support.

@canamrider7195 7 лет назад

When Alyssa does the ICF stacking it looks as easy as doing a Lego build. When Jesse does it, it is nothing but agony. Jesse, take long break, and the home will be done in no time. :)

@UrsaMinor2010 7 лет назад

I'll tell you what. This woman is a Saint. No question.

@ismaeltenenbaum4103 7 лет назад

If HALF of what we see from Alyssa is true, Jesse, man... you should bet thanking God every morning/night for the rest of your life

@FullCanoe 7 лет назад

Seriously? Thank god??? No wonder you will never land a woman like Alyssa. Start thanking the woman in stead of the man-made fictional characters, you might find that a woman that is not completely useless takes interrest in your sorry ass existence. Alyssa, and to some extent her parents for bringing her up, deserve the thanks.

@ismaeltenenbaum4103 7 лет назад

who says he shouldn't thank her and treat her with respect?

@AwosAtis 7 лет назад

You discussed this common seam thing when you laid the first set of blocks. I believe it's discussed on page two of the quick start guide of your LiteForm ICF blocks. However, you DO keep me coming back to see what else you will screw up. LOL!!

@twocentproductions5326 7 лет назад

building my house alone while my woman sits home and eats bon-bons and watchs netflix, great job guys, Styrofoam house woudnt be my choice to each their own,but it is the premium insulating material.

@SharpEnuff 7 лет назад

I really admire your work ethic and the camaraderie the two of you share. I don't admire your safety protocol. I know everyone hates 'safety sally's' I worked in ER's and ICU's for a very long time. Disregard for basic ladder safety is taking chances is not a good idea. I get the impression you are in a remote location. If Alyssa does a Humpty Dumpty off the top of your step ladder into the minefield that is most construction sites how far away is the nearest trauma center?

@MarvinLStohs 7 лет назад

It is no longer called a "Crash Test Dummy" It is now an "Impact Assessment Consultant"

@AndTheCorrectAnswerIs 7 лет назад

Alyssa is relieved when Jesse leaves the worksite for an hour....because it means nothing will be done wrong for an hour. I feel sorry for her when she keeps referring to him as the "experienced one". He has demonstrated over and over again that the only thing he's experienced at is not following directions. People always complain about the "troll" comments, but they have definitely been earned. I totally want them to succeed on this project, but it is incredibly frustrating when SO many errors are made from NOT doing research beforehand and from NOT following instructions.

@RussellD11 6 лет назад

how is this easier / cheaper then just laying brick?

@ironsight308 7 лет назад

Dude, you are doing a better job bracing that wall than you are the 2x8 you are having your wife walk back and forth across, time and time again. Proper wood scaffolding is made from a series of boards on edge! Every time she walks across that gang plank of yours she is stressing it to failure. Double boards, screw and brace the center of span at the very least.

@CapnCrusty 7 лет назад

Time to buy yourselves some carpenter's belts. Having common fasteners and tools with you all the time (instead of having to go get them) makes you much more productive.

@chases1083 7 лет назад

It's only time before you hurt Alyssa putting her on your makeshift "scaffold". Otherwise keep it up, I enjoy your videos.

@ryano1361 7 лет назад

I feel like everything they do to save time, wastes energy and everything that do to save energy wastes time while everything they do to save money means another trip to get supplies at the worst possible time. They are so worried about working efficiently that they are making mistakes which completely derails the efficiency they are trying to achieve. It sets up a vicious cycle of trying to make up lost time/money/energy spent on correcting things, which leads to more mistakes. Sometimes slow and steady does, in fact, win the race. That being said, I enjoy the videos very much and I am impressed by the fact that despite all the set backs they always seem to have a positive attitude even when they are run down at the end of a long day.

@robflynnii3196 7 лет назад

I bought a wooden 3 legged ladder back in 1979 (Red Top out of Tacoma,WA) - to this day, it is the only thing I have from that time in my life. Invest in good 3 legged ladders and you will not be disappointed...

@SuperUncleRyan 7 лет назад

Why zipties and not use cheaper easier wire ties?

@SuperUncleRyan 7 лет назад

Try again. we use wire ties everyday in concrete everywhere.

@Finwolven 7 лет назад

They didn't come to think of that, I guess. I'd have used wires, since the whole thing'll be submerged in concrete anyways (rust isn't an issue there, bikerchic), but as we've seen, when you're DIYing and under stress lots of things are easy to overlook.

@jedidiah5131 7 лет назад

If you watched their videos you would see they were using both...

@davidrossharris 7 лет назад

Either is fine, but I'd imagine zip ties are slightly preferable for amateurs, since it's easy to get it really tight without knowing how to properly use the wire ties (not to mention using the right kind of wire). But to me it seems a hassle when I think you'd have to clip off the excess zip tie. I think most ICF companies include the plastic ties as part of the "kit", probably a way to charge you more.

@edplow5917 7 лет назад

i looked at the block mfg. specks and you will never make code for lack of rebar horiz. on each row .as well as virtical rebar wired to the horz. you must pour concrete every 4 rowss or you can blow out the sides of the blocks.hopefully ou will be inspected before you pour concrete to hide your mistakes .buy mega insurance .ed

@toododd 7 лет назад

Save yourself time and backaches. Use tool belts, nail bags, and some kind of holder for those zipties. Arghhhh it doesn't matter. These vids are after the fact.

@13yrag 7 лет назад

Hi guys I think your both amazing and I'm sure some times you fill like your wondering if your doing it right but like you said ages ago you haven't done this before but you have come a long way and it will all hold together and do what it's supposed to do. Sod all them haters and I told you so people. Your on a great path to having a amazing place built with your own hands and in many years to come your grandkids will be telling everyone there nan and grandad built this so keep on doing what you are doing and be proud of your self.

@mrjones6501 7 лет назад

Very cool system. I am thinking of using this system but using Helix micro rebar so no need to put all the rebar in. Awesome your wife is working too 💪🏻. Was there any issues with code approval. Also what's the system cost thanks.

@Tylerl128 7 лет назад

Man, those green ladders with the folding arms on the outside are so dangerous I cant tell you how many times, I've fell off those ladders. they don't sit right and the arms bend really easy, buy you guys a good 8ft orange ladder with inside arms and 300lb weight limit, more expensive but, you can carry more weight while on the ladder (safely) and, they're so much safer in general.

@TheHandsOnChannel 7 лет назад

I'm working on finishing an ICF bldg. and I wish the ICF contractors would have installed electrical conduit in the walls. I can still do the conduit in the foam but I think it would have been worth the effort to install the conduit before the concrete was poured. It would have saved some time.

@johndee4892 7 лет назад

Don't mind me. I'm just here to read what the trolls have to say.

@B_Keat80 7 лет назад

Alyssa I think you're doing a great job.

@nephimitchell 7 лет назад

I'm still wondering why they don't move the ICF's to the inside so they don't have to carry them all the way over. Even just one pallet at a time.

@gusargoan 7 лет назад

I bet if you had let Alyssa do the job her way, it would have went smoother....Just kidding, good job working together.

@TheSmartodd 7 лет назад

Sorry Jesse it's Not "we" - but You - I think Alyssa is blameless on this one :). So glad it is all gonna work out in the end. I still don't get why the front of forms are so high above what will be the garage entrance. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

@SuperPowerWomen 7 лет назад

I feel like you guys do less when you're together ?

@FrumpyDucks 7 лет назад

@martinhaneline2998 7 лет назад

You guys seem like your in better spirts this vid. Your little R&R break seems to have helped.

@janakoub1037 7 лет назад

Do you know one of the most dangerous tools are in construction work? Ladders. Please don't step on top of the ladder like that again. I have seen people break their neck doing that. there is a warning written on top for a reason. NOT A STEP. Otherwise, I really like your channel and don't be afraid of mistakes. You do that again I will unsubscribe, I hate seeing people get handicapped rest of their lives.

@FoxDren 7 лет назад

Obscure Man that's just because of the stupid culture of sueing people for your mistakes.

@kieranh2005 7 лет назад

More because he's seen people do it... There's a reason why you aren't meant to stand on the top step.

@volvo245 7 лет назад

Obscure Man Ladders are the most dangerous thing in homes and workplaces in general. I've fallen off ladders 3 times. Got off fairly easy, worst being nerve and lymphatic damage to my leg from blunt force trauma. Nowadays I avoid them as much as possible and im very careful setting them up and climbing them.

@superior9744 7 лет назад

I climb ladder backwards i go all the way to the top i climb them when they're unstable and im ok i even climb some broken ones

@DA7545 7 лет назад

I've worked construction for ten years. I climbed on ladder any way I wanted. I often used the top. Never fell. If you feel you can do it, do it. If your afraid, don't. Don't tell people what to do. Tell them what you think but don't tell them what to do - unless you are employer.

@bruceoronte8696 7 лет назад

you are out of your mind walking on a 2x6x16 KD on the flat with no support.

@roopehaimila4353 7 лет назад

Why you dont cast the floor slab before rising the walls? Looks so dangerous when you work from uneven surface with unsafe "scaffolding". Please buy/rent some safer scaffolding before someone thinks that this is ok and common practice.

@v12tommy 7 лет назад

If you are going to get a new adjustable ladder, get one of those Little Giant ones. My mom has one and it is amazing. Painted her massive vaulted ceiling while the ladder was on the stairs and had zero issues. If I ever need to buy a ladder myself, I'm totally getting one of those.

@scruffy6151 7 лет назад

@zenithtb 7 лет назад

I liked your little "What can we do for you" speech in the middle. It showed real insight that although we look like we know what we're doing (as men), we really have a lot of pressure on ourselves, and although we are supposed to know what we're doing, the chances we've ever done X (where X represents whatever we're about to do) before is close to Zero. So we're almost supposed to know what we have to do, which order, and what parts we'll need, most of the time we know almost as much as you do. So your little 'What can we (as women) do to support you' monologue was a breath of fresh air in this Feminist world Thank you

@chrisfurman 7 лет назад

The only issue I have with this ICF series is... I literally just saw a company put two large hangars up in about 3 days at our local community airport. Therefore, I'm having a hard time understanding where the "value-add" is with them doing the job themselves.

@drkwvrvn9956 7 лет назад

HeyItsKay thanks for the reply it makes sense except for that low wall in front I don't know how they're going to get a car in there

@paulcopeland9035 7 лет назад

@paulcopeland9035 7 лет назад

Mars Rover....Go to their blog..purelivingforlife.com/. There is a spot to search the blog. Search for "Building plans" Go to "Building our debt free home". Find "Quick Navigation". Under that you will see an entry for "House plans and photos". You will find 3 pictures of some rough drawings they have for the garage/basement, main living level, and a structural idea of where they will put the loft. Very basic, but it shows what they are striving for. There you go!

@RelentlessHomesteading 7 лет назад

Another great benefit from Allyssa's involvement; ... she understands the value of TOOLS. Love it when Allyssa said -"we've never bought a tool we didn't really use". Few wives really understand that - some think these tools are baubbles to adorn our man caves. But if one is serious about getting the job done, and doing it right, a certain level of tools are required.

@stevecapper9321 7 лет назад

Hi guys was a little concerned that you put Alyssa at risk walking on a plank between two ladders which would have been safer if you had doubled up on the planks and 2 planks side by side and 2 planks thick would have stiffened the walk way I would not like to see her get hurt as she is a great help to the project and you would miss her greatly if she was injured due to not doing things safely you are both doing a fantastic job keep up the great work always be safe.! ! !

@MrIan20009 7 лет назад

Loving it loving it loving it! It's coming on leaps and bounds now, I just hope your water tight by winter... Well done Alyssa your getting stuck right in and that's all that matters your actually building your you're own home and not many women can say that actually not many men can say that, so the fact your willing to take the time to understand how the house go's up, your building it. keep up the hard work.

@Magny80 7 лет назад

I have a sense by now you guys should probably have more than enough footage for a gag and blooper video or 2...maybe even more than that. But I could see it probably being put together after the build is finished so it doesn't hinder progress. I for one can't wait to see it tho.

@amylou5778 7 лет назад

@thehawkc 7 лет назад

Get your wife off of a 2x8 . Unless you don't like her. Especially when that wall gets higher. Spend the money and get a real saffold plank. Stay safe.

@normsayle677 7 лет назад

I know I'm a tad late with this, but when you span a board between two ladders, all you need to do is screw a vertical board in the middle down to the ground and if you want you can screw a wood pad on the bottom of the board in case of soft ground. This will stop the board from bowing when standing on it. Makes it easy to walk/stand on and takes your mind off of thinking it may crack or break.
