@jerrytalley802 2 месяца назад

Timmy, I built a house 1/2 that size in 1987. I get overwhelmed just wondering how I did it all, mostly by myself, sometimes one friend or my Dad giving me a hand. I I was 27 then and super tough and strong, now almost 64, tuckered out, lol. Glad you’re doing it now, you’ll have a long time before you can’t climb the stairs. It would literally cost me 10-15 times as much today as then. I had mine paid for in about 7 years, busting my butt. I have continued to add some, remodeled some, etc, but there’s probably few things as satisfying as building your own home then owning it one day. I’m jacked up with fibromyalgia and back trouble now, so I’d be in hot water if I hadn’t but the bullet at a young age, looking good!

20” above countertop sounds rather high for outlets. I would think 12”would be better. 18” from countertop to bottom of upper cabinets is the standard height. The upper cabinet box would cover the outlet / receptacle at 20 inches.

@johnnyboymc6607 2 месяца назад

Timmy.. Countertops in kitchen are 36-37 from finished floor.. Bottom of upper wall cabinets are usually 54 to the bottom. So roughly 18 inches between them. Outlets are centered on that.. So 36+9 to center of rough-in box. Plus the 1-3/4 to the top of the boxes. 47 to top of box from finished floor is a good number..

@bobboyoop1141 2 месяца назад

Take a look into the canless LED lights, that's all we install anymore, less costly than the old cans by the time you do trim and bulbs. Simple to install, just map where your wires are, we snap lines and drill the holes after drywall is up but before mudding, taping, and texture. Although you'll snap your fingers a few times with the damn spring levers that hold them in. Lol The better ones have multi selectable lumen levels, some even have a night light ring that is activated by a quick on/off flick of the switch. Those are real nice especially when you have frequent guests, we had a client go with them in various areas because he's frequently hosting folks on religious missions.

Great to see more house build video, that place is phenomenal! Talking about your TV and where it will go and it not being a focal point resonated with me, and you might consider a laser projector instead. You can have a nice wood box hiding one of those screens that pulls down and then have a huge TV when you want to watch it without it being so visible. Can't wait to see that place finished!

I really admire you for doing what you do especially on those dangerous roads in below freezing temperatures. You have created an original idea and no one is like your channel which definitely makes you unique. I found the videos kind of by accident. I was watching bush craft videos and one day one of your videos came up in my You tube search on my TV and after watching the first video I was hooked. Now I want to get a camper and travel and I definitely want to visit Alaska and see some of the things I have seen in your videos. I love the channel and I plan to join as a member. Thank you for all your hard work and thank you for being good to your subscribers/members.
