Cabin Beams - Cabin Build Ep.3 

Gotcha. Good point!

Let’s go baby!!!!!!!! Build baby build!!!!

That’s why you needed batter boards to pull a string over the tubes with wet concrete. Then you set them in a perfect straight line.

❤️❤️

ahhhhhhhhhh baby! Yes, the dirt is a joke!

Yea the dirt was removed shortly after.

He couldn't be doing this at a more perfect time for me

Yea it feels easier balancing it on one wheel as you walk with it.

I use a bracket that slips into the concrete when it's still wet.

I know I must not do that.

vaperainzero I appreciate or it!!

You could off pur the beam Ankers in the Conceret.. Different building code ..Well done 👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Pratley steel

Ah! Thanks for this pro tip! That sounds bomb proof! My next cabin I will take this into the plan making.

@@WoodnessGoodness If you want another tip. When you decide in your plans. Where to make the pipe columns. Not only make holes for the columns. Try to excavate 1 feet more than the area you are planning to build on. Escavate 6 inches and make the whole lo level then making the holes in the appropiate place your plans suggest and allow them to be at leat 4 feet deep. Then after dry. Try to make the holes and prepared them for the utilities such as plumbing electrical or anything that goes underground and place them where you are planning to go according to your planning. And build it to go outside where the plumber electrician may come and finish it. Then with those pipes at leat 1' 1/2 feet above the ground level. Try to flat the dirt and make like a dirt slab leveled all around with 6 inch deep. See videos on how to build an concrete slab with plastic. Then do the same and over everything. Use mesh rebar Then when putting concrete make and slope of 1/2" from the ends of the area toward the drain pipe you installed Make it nice and neat And let it dry. Why this because you want the property be protected in the foundations from animals, water, and seasonal stuff. Also you may want to have a crawl space for cheap with no brick intallation where you can fix leaks or anything in a clean place Also you want no cracks and no flooding from ground up due to erosion then this is why you may want to out plastic to avoid humidity in the slab. Plus it will protect your foundation from natural issues in ground to last for several years. Now how you cover the outside? Well after you build you first floor try to cover with wood the sorrounding area expose between the concrete slab an the first floor. Make a door way for you can enter the space and some holes for the place may have ventilation. For vapor relief. Them paint the surface of the same with paint that may help mortar and wood to bond then with some steel mesh for stucco nail it with nails and make some mortar and do some stucco yourself. This method is cheaper than building brick around the house and is fast.and protect. How to save on concrete or mortar. Buy portland cement by bag and buy gravel and sand by yard Rent some concrete drum for cheap. And build it mix it with a electrical generator that may good enough to supply the machine. The ratios for cement, water. sand and gravel you can esily find them online up to 10,000 psi wich is twice the psi any premix concrete home depot bag have. There are types of cement of portland vary by uses So buy type S used for foundation retaining walls and rough structures.

The beams seemed to work fantastic!

dry set anchors. wedge anchors to be exact. did it later on...

Look it up on a span calculator. My beams sagged a little so I would have beefed up my beams or made sure my distance was less. Minimum THREE 2x8 laminated together for beams.

Couldn't find the right brackets. But all is well! It was easy to drill into fresh concrete.

I'm thinking I start with a skid steer....

I dry drilled anchors later in the build. It was one of those things that I wasn’t sure what to do at first. But I eventually forgives our a solution!

I think they are 2x8! I might do three together to add a little more beef!

@@WoodnessGoodness Thank you! I might just do that

12x20’ and I used wedge bolts to the piers

@@WoodnessGoodness gratitude. Your beams and joist demesion if you dont mind. I'm actually on my last year of carpentry for house framing on just curious the different styles of framing people use

Carhartt

I’m trying to find it! I will post when I do.

@@WoodnessGoodness Thanks man! Just finished watching your cabin build playlist. Super entertaining and can't wait to build my own!

Honestly that’s a great question. I don’t know that answer! If the water runs below your frost line maybe that’s a thing? I just don’t know...

@@WoodnessGoodness yeah, hopefully someone can chime in, there's gotta be a way to do it.

Hello, I always heard that angle grinders are dangerous. What can happen if it has a safety guard?? Thanks!

@@AJ-jf7cq well I was joking but I use one every day and I've only cut myself a few times.

@@braydeny Ahh okay 😄

utseay just a little rode shotgun on the Panasonic GH5

Woodness Goodness Casey Neistat never got back to me so quick...I consider you among the greatest at this point. Don’t disappoint.

utseay lol no pressure....

Haha yea I corrected this later on. I just wanted to make sure you were alert! 🙏🏼

I had dirt had to get rid of and figured little extra frost protection wouldn’t hurt but honestly I was just trying to get rid of dirt

Not sure. Designed as I went!

@@WoodnessGoodness ok, I'll take that as "is not a big deal" 🤣

I agree, never pile up dirt around a pier and always use termite shields. Inexpensive to cut a square of sheet metal and bend the edges downward.

Don’t tell my wife!

john hancock I attach them a little later.

Woodness Goodness ohh, seems like that siding on the new vid is a pain

@@chupacabra6263 yes, although it really pays off if you like the look, or if you like puzzles!
