It might be a good idea to build in a small basement for a tornado shelter to keep Hannah safe just in case? I was worried about you both last year with those tornadoes hitting so close to you all!
I built a safe room as part of the house using concrete block re-enforced and concrete filled it worked out great cause I used it as a bathroom too. It doesn’t have to be a basement…just have a slab foundation and pour the ceiling solid using steel panels to support the concrete pour, it was all tied into the walls.
That's going to be a twenty-three hundred square foot house! Wow, after that little house, Hanna has been living in this house is going to be like a mansion!! Good luck and stay safe!!
Hannah is a lucky gal, only thing my dad ever gave me was a 1977 Ford truck and a ton of bad advice which he continues to do to this day, well done Mr. Barron.
Great video! Even though you have been working your tail off cutting lumber. I believe this build is going to make you more money on You Tube than past videos. I'm eagerly waiting to see the house and believe it's going to be spectacular. Plus with Hanna's success it will bring attention. Concentrate on that. I've been watching your channel for a few years and I like your style. Keep up the good work.
Outstanding, you will do an excellent job, I can't wait to see the finish. You are an Outstanding Father to your Daughter, you should be very proud, she is so lucky to have you. Will follow you every step of the build. Kudos!
I like the way for getting the right angle corners. FYI, Pythagorean theorem - A^2+B^2=C^2. So 48^2+48^2=SqRt of 4,608 which is 67' 7/8". 68' was a great guess.
Jeff, appreciate your demonstration of spending some serious time planning the the foundation before pouring the foundation. I'm sure there will be major payoffs by the time you get to the top to lay in the rafters. Looking forward to your build. Thanks for Sharing!
That's cool. My gosh her house is going to be bigger than mine, but the sway she is running all the time she has earned it and deserves it. I'm with ya from up in east TN.
That was a very good and simple explanation on a very confusing process on how to square up a foundation. Thanks for the video and the future build videos to come.
Sounds like a nice size home for Hannah. Got to get it right, where she wants the corner of the house. Sounds like if the diagonals are perfect, I think you got it right.
👍 looks like everything is going good… Getting that area squared off is everything i’m building a structure as you know… And making the house the dimensions you did is going to make it so much easier for the wood that you do have to purchase not having to make a lot of cuts… That speeds up the building time tremendously doesn’t it doing a great job there, Mr. Baron ! Take care, stay healthy, God bless…👍👌🤘
It's kinda difficult to judge the actual elevations from looking at the video but, it sure does look like a beautiful piece of property though. I'm sure they'll enjoy it once it's finished. And I'm sure you'll enjoy building it. Also I'm hoping y'all will make regular progress videos of the build. I really enjoy watching construction videos. Used to build back in the 1980s, before I started my Air Force career.
when I came home from Iraq in 2006 I helped my uncle dismantle a state house and put it in his sheep shed then prepared the block on top of one of his mountains bulldozed a track to the top and flattened off a 200 yard flat top right on top of the mountain then did what you just did and started digging in the footings layer the floor and the walls in one day then the sides and the roof our priority was getting the roof up because it rains plenty in New Zealand 🇳🇿 once the roof was up it didn’t matter if it pissed down raining we could still work that was my first and only house I’ve ever worked on
Yup, one of the oldest tricks in the book. Grandfadder show me that over 50 years ago, and his grandfadder showed him. Imagine what they could have done, and how fast they would have been with all the modern tools. Simple geometry without all the formulae
Get a calculator and use the pythagorium theorem. A squared + B squared = H squared. Square root of 4608 is the length of the diagonal of this house. Proper batter boards are set back from the corner a couple of feet so you can find the corner in mid air where the strings cross. Drop a plum Bob to find the corner on the ground.
You typically see the formula as A²+B²=C². I’ve never seen the hypotenuse side called “H” but it’s an unknown so I guess you could call it anything you want. A²+B²=Ω²
Hey Jeff, how you been, was wondering how the house was doing thank you, sir...🤠🐶 Jeff on you tube there is a 83year old man that cuts logs on his own sawmill everyday, I just seen him
