In this video, I start putting up the post to the pier and beam foundation. Things are really starting to come together.
My name is Darryl Darks and I just quit my $150,000 a year sales job to start a real estate business. I'm building a short term vacation rental property in Canyon Lake, TX.

Great that you're doing a job with real meaning. With construction you build something real, that you can see.

@darryldarks 2 месяца назад

Yes, sir! So, glad you liked the video!👍🙏

Hey Darryl! I’m building a cabin up here in NW Montana, on some pretty uneven, rocky ground. This video absolutely answered a major questionmark in my building process. Thank you! Subbed. 👍🏼

@darryldarks Год назад

I love NW Montana! I can’t wait to go back! Congratulations on getting started on your project! So, glad I can help. 🙏👍

Looks like you had the laser set to not float. I have the same laser. You need to have it where the laser is not locked to have it do a level line.

@darryldarks 9 месяцев назад

Makes sense. Thanks for the heads up. 🙏👍

Thanks, Ry-Guy! 👍💪 More to come.

@TheDIYCabinGuy 2 года назад

Looking good! I’m impressed how you managed to do it all with strings. My strings would always end up sagging and I felt I couldn’t trust it. I ended up doing it with a laser instead, weird that yours was acting funny! That moment you’re realizing how tall that cabin is about to be lol felt the same even though mine is only 6 ft up on the high side.

@darryldarks 2 года назад

Thanks, man! Yeah. The feeling is unreal. It’s crazy how your cabin is coming along too. Roofing is no joke my friend. LOL.

@TheDIYCabinGuy 2 года назад

@@darryldarks yeah I’m looking forward to being done with it, not a big fan of the heights!

@RobertJLessard Год назад

I used string levels whne I did my cabin build. Dont need fancy laser ones. As long as the level is center of the steing you're good.

@darryldarks Год назад

Rob knows what’s up! 👍💪

Great video!!!

@darryldarks Год назад

@dwightrivera3281! Thanks for the love, brother! 👍 More great some on the way.

@MontegutMQ Год назад

Yeah, put the string level in the middle, between what you’re measuring, and don’t move it.

@darryldarks Год назад

You got it, Montegut! 🙏👍

This is looking hawt!

@darryldarks 2 года назад

Gracias mi amigo! She is TALL too. The view from the top is crazy!

@historygradstu 5 месяцев назад

Built a few houses...use a long clear plastic hose fill it with water, make sure no bubbles are in it....a water level...water always seeks level...oldest but best cheapest technology available..its been said he Egyptians use the water level method to build the pyramids...dont cap the ends, leave it open and simply tie it to the beam on each end

@darryldarks 5 месяцев назад

Love it! Great idea.🙏👍

@historygradstu 5 месяцев назад

@darryldarks thanks been using one since the 70s

@John.strong Год назад

After sanding the post to square you should of flipped it upside down so the correction is made at the bottom where it's needed The top should be cut square and will be level then. Otherwise the post won't be level

@darryldarks Год назад

Strong advise, Mr. Strong! 💪💪💪

@antoninosolano7667 9 месяцев назад

That's way to level on the string line is ok as long as the string is not sagging it can still read level with a sagging string so be careful it's not sagging

@darryldarks 9 месяцев назад

Agreed. Yeah, I pulled the string pretty tight and it worked out well. If I had to do it again, I’d probably use a laser level or at least a really long Johnson level and have shorter distances between the piers. Thanks for watching the video. 🙏👍

@aloehden Год назад

You could have found level across your piers . Find the difference from your zero corner elevation and add the difference.

@darryldarks Год назад

Truth, brother.

@StfuFFS Год назад

You need a transit level, bro. hanging the bubble from the string will impact the bubble.

@darryldarks Год назад

@mawtin0 I hear you, brother. Luckily, the foundation still came out level. Maybe I’ll upgrade soon. 👍

@Upstatecabins Год назад

I’m very close to doing the same thing you are doing up in NY

@darryldarks Год назад

Go get em’, JBURNS! You got this! Get that miter saw out and build something amazing!!💪👍🔥

@ajeesh3485 Год назад

@darryldarks Год назад

Hey! I get everything from with Home Depot or Lowe’s. 🙏👍

Hi Darryl, im about to start on an A frame, I was doing my batter board the other day, and i pulled a string with a level about 50 ft and it was way off, i was wondering what the heck, i plan on going back out there with a laser, makes a lot of sense that at some length, the string level might not be very accurate, good to know. it also took me awhile to see you did this in canyon lake, cool area, im from the bulverde area. not a lot of A frames around.

@darryldarks 7 месяцев назад

Bulverde! That’s awesome! Best of luck with the build. I’m sure you’ll do great. 🙏👍

@ShikokuFoodForest Год назад

I know how important it is getting your posts level. I’ve also used a string with bubble level over 20-25’ when building a fence or pruning hedges. Never built a foundation yet. Did you figure out why your laser level was so far off level? Doesn’t make sense to me unless it wasn’t calibrated or set up properly somehow. Planning on building my own cabin in northern Canada perhaps in 2023 sometime.

@darryldarks Год назад

Hi William! Yeah, I really don’t know why the laser level was so off. But I will say that I did a garage project with the same laser level and I noticed same problem happening. The laser line was off there too. Good luck with your cabin project, buddy!👍🙏💪

@ShikokuFoodForest Год назад

@Darryl Darks Thanks so much Darryl! I’m Canadian, living in Japan for over 10 years with a house and small farm, but wish to return to my home country. Been looking for land to build a cabin in northern Canada. Lots of planning yet to do. Working on my plan each day for over a year already. Considering many options.

@Earthatrip 3 месяца назад

Hey Darryl, who put your cement posts in? I'm in central Texas also, looking for a reference. Thanks!

@darryldarks 3 месяца назад
