I love your enthusiasm, pleasure to watch people who love what their doing

I dont know if you're still reading comments on these old videos, but i just wanted to say i'd have a hard time not replying to all the internet experts in the comments if i were you. They dont do any research into the maximum loads of hardware or even bother to see that its literally designed to be used how you used it. Thank you for posting even though you get hate from idiots, I really like to see how different people build things to give me ideas for the construction that i do. Keep it up man, you're doing great.

Wild seeing all of that sitting on a couple of us unsupported threaded bolts 😂.

Any concerns with rusting of the anchors and how much weight can they withstand?

Run concrete posts 3 ft high. Use sill plates and rim joists

The intricate planning always blows me away. So awesome to see this evolve from a spot in the forest to a home.

It was very satisfying to see you install the kickers and get that feeling of how your base is becoming totally rock solid. Nice job!

You could have poured a concrete monolithic slab foundation for the same price. That 400 sq ft is completely doable by one person as a DIY project. You could even break it down into 3 stages, and pour and finish in 3 days (1 day per stage). Then stain the concrete whatever color you want. I would insulate under the slab but no type of slab heating. It's a short-term rental, just have regular HVAC heat and air mini split and throw rugs around the bed and bathroom floor. Very low cost build.

You're amazing my man - Such a joy to watch you build this and document it all for us to see! So inspiring!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the upload. It feels so wholesome following along your journey. You’re doing an amazing job!

You’re the man dude. I just got into engineering after doing all my apartment repairs myself the past year and I’m so into getting more skilled and knowledgable. Your videos have been an awesome resource. I appreciate how you explain what each piece of hardware is for and how it works. Awesome dude! Keep it up

those anchor bolts made it really easy to adjust height but are they strong enough to have the entire weight of the house on? usually the weight is on the 4x4 or 6x6 directly to your pier, not its just on a 3/4" bolt.

Great videos! Giving me inspiration to rebuild my old camp lodge.

Really glad to see the RU-vid side of content/diy. I'm a new sub and went through all the old build videos and realized they were more breakdown than the way you're doing them now. I'm excited to see how this all turns out! My wife and I stayed at an Airbnb up by mt Baker a few weeks back. Had me looking at property. They had 40 acres available for just under 400k but it was zoned for logging. Seemed like a dream spot but not living there made it a little unrealistic of an investment. Now I can live through your videos :)

Awesome videos and the format feels very fresh to watch. Can't wait for more

Its shaping !! Really a joy to watch. And build to last its great attitude.

Well done!! Loving every minute of catching up on your adventures!! Just stumbled across your channel and oh so happy I did!

Eagerly watching this from the UK. Discovered your channel a few days ago

I’m glad here in sc we don’t have to build a double floor!! I’m flabbergasted how you built a foundation grid then built an entire new grid for flooring on top the grid when really here in sc we use the og grid an use it as the beginnings of the floor joists system

Thank you for showing how much everything costs. A lot of creators make thumbnails with price in mind and then don't deliver. Appreciate your content.

On the four foot marks I doubled the floor joist so my subfloor 4x8 did not share the 1 and 1/2 inch joist. You could marry a 2x4 to it also every 4ft just fyi. Before I put the subfloor on I usually face the underside and insulate. Spray for bug proofing and caulk to keep critters out.

Excited to see another progress upload! Can't wait for the next one!

I thoroughly impressed with your work, you just have been saving up for a long time for these projects.

This is an amazing work, as someone grew up in the city and concrete jungles, I often dream of living in a forest. Then here I have some questions about the durability of the lumbers in modern days, would it be capable to handle the humidity, the hot and cold temperature and the destructive wood eating pests for two decades and not getting rotten.

Great job looking forward for more information 😊

Good video. Enjoying following along with the build.

great job my guy!! I don't say that very often!

love the project, its coming along nicely,

Just found the channel and subbed after a few hours of watching your stuff! The content is bang on! Keep up the great builds and these entertaining vids!

Great vid!

I subbed, I’ll be building a home soon (I’m doing a pier set up too) I worked 2years doing pile driving for industrial complex’s and bridges I’m doing the same thing because it’s the best bang for your buck foundation solution no matter how you look at it 💯

Bro Outstanding video

Love it!

Love the outtakes haha

Great video series! I've been thinking about using pier and beam foundation but if you can believe it pouring a concrete slab foundation is cheaper in my area and I don't have to do any of the labor. With pier and beam you still have to buy insulation and flooring.

Great work and great craftsmanship 🙌. I am curious what your plan is with the rebar legs?

Finally a new video!!!

hey great work, do you know what those adjustable floating anchor deals are rated for load? thanks!

Great work, and walk through. Very informative. where can i find those adjustable post brackets? Of what the actual name of them if you don't mind?

That’s going to be a lot of weight on those foundation bolts. I’d get an engineer to inspect that for you.

Nice work

With you raising up some of those bolts out of the cement, does it compromise the structural integrity at all?

Love it

I purchased 6 acres of mountain view land in the blue ridge mountains and just had the land cleared and soil work done. Now i'm deciding on what to build, I want to do most of it myself and am looking to do what you have done. Is there a way for me to get some consultation from you? I have a lot of renovation experience, I've purchased around 20 homes in my life and renovated them into rental homes but NEVER built something from scratch like this and have ALWAYS dreamed of doing so. I love your channel and am subscribed!

Thx for sharing

there are a lot of things that i find wrong in this build. the question is.... did you consult a professional or do any research before start building that deck?

What size lumber did you use underneath the 2 x 12 joists? 2 x 10?

If you use some beads of that Liquid Nails in between your sistered lumber they will be even stronger than if they were one piece of wood. No clamping required because your nails & screws act as clamps.

Only thing i would have done differently is to sheet under the framing first. By doing the underside first you just drop in your insulation from on top. By doing the top t&g plywood you now have to stuff insulation in from underneath the framing. Take my word for it that way sucks.

Thanks Devon, this video was very helpful and gave me a lot of helpful ideas - I want to build a Workshop about the same size of this - 32'x16'. Question though, did you have some SW to determine the floor joist sizes? 2x12 sounds like a HUGE overkill! AND, I SUBSCRIBED! ;o)

You could eliminate the blocking on the outside as your rim joist would have accomplished the same thing. All in all a great job.

Not to pick, but when you build beams or headers, put plywood between to stiffen against the grain of the natural wood

Great job. The cost in red don't show up as well?

Dude! This is great. What are the total dimensions of the building? I am in the process of framing a 12 x 24 building, definitely stealing some ideas for bracing. Nice work. Is the container home on the same property? What kind of permits did you have to get?

What software are you using for your floor plans and 3d models?

Ring shank nails for decking 👍

Ever get the feeling you are watching the start of something really great? Your channel has a big following but keep this up and you will be massive in no time!

How come he didnt let the wood rest on the concrete footing instead of all the weight testing on the little metal things?

Can someone explain how the adjustable brackets sticking out of the piers work? It seems like the entire house is held up on top of these relatively skinny bolts! Are they just that strong? I guess I’m surprised that’s just as strong as the wood beam directly sitting (or sitting within a bracket directly) on top of the pier. Awesome video.

Sometimes I sit here in awe of the things some people can do.

The weight of the whole building is supported by 12 screws, nuts/washers. Not a safe design. What is the max load each screw can take?

Well this is just what I wanted to see my friend I just bought half an acre in Snohomish and the only way I can afford to build is with Shipping containers who did you find to stack those so many of these guys say they don’t stack

look at that, levels and lasers , oh my!! hahahaha

New subscriber 🙋🏻‍♂️

As always, nicely done! Are you selling the plans for the tiny house? Do you have materials list? Thank again!

''This ain't going anywhere''🤣

How do you solve the problem of slope relative to the concrete tubes?

is it legal there in the us if you resell the plans of the building? or the architect (intellectual property owner ) permitted you to sell the plans? just wondering because most of the country i know does not allowed it .. this is the f3rd video i watched from this youtube channel the building looks good btw.. nice videos

Your tubes should have been set at 12 to 18 inches above the ground, and then you wouldn't need the 4x4 posts. The beams would then go right into the Simpson hardware, which would make the foundation more solid and you wouldn't require the kickers. Also, your floor joist should have been placed between the beams, not on top of the beams, which is the industry standard. You're making your build much more complicated than it needs to be.

we just stayed at the bin a month ago and you’re going to make us come back 😅😅

I’m just wondering why the concrete anchor isn’t sitting on the concrete.

Milwaukee, good man 💪

Just subscribed today. Out of interest, what trade qualifications do you have or very self taught?

How is 2 ft in the ground enough? Here in PA, you need to be 40-48 inches in the ground even for a deck.

All that blocking should’ve been in the middle of the span where there’s nothing holding the joists. Blocking is used to transfer the weight from one joist to the surrounding joists.

Like many viewers i have serious concerns regarding the use of the bolts and the unnecessary usage of blocking near the end of the joists because you capped them with the 2x12...i would have used a block at the end as a jig to space the joists. Use the braces at every 8 feet from the cap boards and that would most likely suffice for stabilizing the joists. But my biggest concerns is the usage of screws over nails. Screws break wheras nails bend so when that house starts settling, alot of the screws could snap off. Use blue glue nails and you will get the best of both worlds as they will bend when needed but never back out because of the glue. But I do like your video presentation.

@3:53 - Can someone explain how that pier is moving up or down. Shouldn't the threaded rod be cemented into place, how is it moving up or down?

How do you do all this alone?

hey nice work. looks so fun. love building too. how did your corner to corner measure out? lol hope it was perfect.

noice!!

Two questions: 1) Do you have to calculate for snow load in Washington? and 2) Are you using any particular building code guidelines?

“Little Emily” 😮

what's the name of the lizer machine

No floor insulation?

You should have added a Jam nut to the threaded rod into the concrete as secondary retention so it never backs out.

I subscribed, what was the dimension of the 2x materials you used for the pier joists?

Dislexy has notting to with mesuring. Discalcuy does

Why no floor insulation??

Wear more eye protection so you can see the cabin finished please!!! 🙏 Keep up the hard work!

No floor insulation??

How did you figure out the layout on the ground? Did you have to get it stamped or approved or any permits etc?

Heads up - your Amazon link in the description isnt working

Out of curiosity, are the wooden posts that are connected to the concrete foundation and to the floor made out of a special hardened wood? Everything looks super sturdy with all of the kickers but the posts going into the concrete kinda worry me as someone that doesn't know much about building. Would love to hear your explanation as an engineer

Strange if think of it . The entire structure is resting on 12 what 1 inch diameter metal pins.those seem more like building a deck materials.

Hello, how did you insulate the subfloor?

Do you have plans for sale?

If you had a background in construction, why didn’t you build some of the stuff in the container home but hired people at a way higher cost?

You’re saying that’s not going anywhere. But are you slapping the wood while saying it?

👍👍👍👍
