I’m a welder, it’s unsurprising the framers built around the weldment, it happens more often than you’d think. I’ve had to get pretty good at carpentry and drywall over my career, because sometimes the other trades aren’t willing to undo their hard work 😂 I love exposed I-beams in residential houses, it always looks amazing when finished. Acme Acres is going to be a beautiful property, and it’s a ton of fun to see your vision come to life, been here since the beginning!
As for who sleeps on what side of the bed, honestly for me I get up at least once or twice a night to use the restroom while my partner sleeps through. So I like to be closest to the bathroom to provide the least disturbance and if that happened to be on the side the bedroom door was, so be it. The house is looking great! So excited to see the progress 😊
First time hearing Genay say she wants do preserving. Gonna say it cause it surprises how many people have never heard of it. You can pickle fruits and nuts in honey, so if you ever need another hobby, beekeeping could pair well with that.
I'm a firm believer in whoever gets up in the night more to use the bathroom or has to get up earliest sleeps closer to the door. As far as defensiveness goes, there are enough safety measures in place that I'm well aware of them before they get to anybody.
I spent 14 years married and I Always was the closest to the door/ entry point. It's our job as men to be the closest to any threat that may come. Cheers Luke.
My mom used to be the closest to the door, but then she switched with my dad because she was tired of me or my brother entering their room at night (due to nightmares or difficulties falling asleep) and waking her up since she was the closest 😅
My wife and I have our side of the bed that doesn't change no matter how the room is oriented. She sleeps on her side and it's the side facing away from the middle. We even sleep this way in hotels.
Muuuuum, Genay said a naughty word 😂. Love watching these uploads on a Sunday night. Amazing watching it take shape with all the framing, and looking forward to all the preserving and fun once you're in!
My view on the bed thing Looks like ground level so... being nearest the window would actually be more unsettling to me personally than being nearest to the door 😅
The man being closest to the door is absolutely how it should be for the reason you listed. That's why I always sleep closest. Also, let Genay know thanks for the book recommendation. I got Horrorstor and another book by the same author Final Girls Support Group and I'm loving both.
It's so cool to see you two together explaining the reasonings for the house. I have opposite tastes of most people so I especially enjoyed having some of my questions answered!
Yalls house is SOOO BEAUTIFUL I'm so excited for ya'll! I hope to have something this beautiful one day. We are currently getting evicted MIND YOU I have a 6 year old daughter because my landlord refuses to accept rent because I have an emotional support animal (a cat) who does nothing wrong just supports me I tragically lost my dad. But we aren't aloud to have "pets". So now we are getting evicted for "non payment" court is on the 31st. I'm super stressed we have nowhere to live, there is nothing for rent. Yall pray for my little family that we have a miracle. Depression has kicked in.
I'm so happy for toonz and genay seriously that's awesome you guys were able to get that much land and have the opportunity to build a home for yourselves and plenty room for whatever y'all wanted, I hope the best for you guys seriously good job you two
The glass windows in the back reminds me of my grandfather and grandmother built a house in Mocksville, NC. Their whole back of the house was glass and overlooked their pasture with horses and a lake it was gorgeous. Hopefully if it is not too intrusive we can see the view when it is finished, I'm sure it will be absolutely beautiful!
It is absolutely insane how much this house is coming along!! I’m stoked about it I can just imagine how much you guys are as well! I’m so glad it’s coming along for the two of you!
As far as which side of the bed you sleep on, for me depends on how " safe" where you live feels. Right now we live out in the country, so it's pretty safe. I sleep further from the door, so she can get to the bathroom easier in the night
Toonz your videos really do make my day, I spent ten years in prison and life is kinda hard right now, but watching your video show me that I have to enjoy and appreciate the good things in my life. Keep doing you and thanks for all the laughs..ps am keeping busy watching all your old videos 😂
I sleep on the side closest to the door but that's because the bathroom is on that side. Plus my husband won't hear anything before me anyways since he sleeps like a rock, so....
My husband always has slept on the side with the door. If you are going to can from your garden. You will need a a good size area to put the jars, then you will still have leftovers. But it’s always easy to give some away.
The two steel beams don't need to be welded on the bottom. That wouldn't help the beams do their thing. The bending forces in the beams would be transferred by the bottom of the beam, which is zero at the end of that beam that the joists are attached to. The weld would be transferring zero force.
@Acme_Acres, toonz remember those 45 degree hallway angles makes it easier to vacuum. great update guys. good lord that's a big window in the living room. yeah more drone montages pls.
The Bed Debate xD My husband usually picks the door side for same reasoning.... I'm more of the, if you're waking up early/often in the night... you get the bathroom side. We lucked out that our bedroom is designed to fit both our view points xD ground floor though, with a window opposite the door, I think "defense" is pretty mute since there are more options for entry lol.... but get a dog! lol. At least that way they're likely to wake u up before they get to the bed room sort of thing... House looking beautiful though! Coming together nicely!
with me and my wife, our room is at the back of the house but it also depends on who is up before the other, who goes to bed later, home defense wise it wouldn't matter cause she can be going for the defensive weapon while you're peeking down the hall to assest the situation.
Just a tip with getting puddles on your floors, find the center of each puddle and put a 10-12mm hole through the floor it will save your floor from rot, instead of water sitting on it
Toonz around 24mins when you were panning the house it's going to be down right beautiful. Good luck with the rest of the build. Feels a little bit like real Minecraft. Kinda lol.
he house is looking amazing. I know yall were iffy on sharing the inside decorated, but if you do share I'd LOVE to see all the decor. I love it! For the bed discussion, my man ALWAYS sleeps closer to the door even if we are at a hotel. Even though I'm a night owl and will stay up late at night.. so it defeats the purpose... lol BUT he does it anyways. :)
When i moved in with my now wife, i had to switch sides from what i normally did. Especially odd since we moved the bed to the corner. She is closer to the door, because the children wake up and need mom. But i enjoy sleeping in the corner now 😅
Burglars can come through windows as well and you would be sleeping closer to the window. Whoever gets up first and uses the bathroom most often at night should sleep closest to that. Genay’s right. What’s the building across from the kitchen but attached?
Always but the way our bed is placed wand how or room layout is my wife is close the wall and I'm the first thing you seen when you open the door giving me a perfect shot for intruders
I sleep near the window so I can wake up with the sunshine... and feel the cool breeze. My dog will alert us if we got uninvited guests. Good luck house is awesome looking so far!
I normally sleep on the left side of the bed... So regardless of where the door is, thats where i lay... we lock our bedroom door at night, so if someone got into our house first the alarm will go off, then they will be met by a locked master bedroom door... then they will meet their god cause i am armed in my room... so wouldnt matter which side i slept on
Just like on your other channel when you post a good series of episodes (gas station Sim, Grounded, etc) ialways get excited that a new ep. Is in. This is like it. I look forward to every Sunday and get excited when a new video shows on this channel. It's like minecraft but IRL. 😁😁
My thoughts on bed sides, put her closer to the bathroom. Your door is so far from the bed it’s almost straight on anyways. Might as well keep her happy with the bathroom being close and if anything does go down you got a little bit of tactical cover behind the mattress. 👍
I was raised that I always sleep closest to the door and she sleeps on the other side just Incase someone unwanted walks In I'm closer and they gotta go through me first
I find myself by the door on my own but because i also sleep like a rock my missus sleeps closest to the door so she can get to the kids without having to climb over me as the size of our room means one side of our bed is against a wall
In my house - with my parents - my mom sleeps closest to the door so its easier for her to come help me out. (Disability life) but also no one has ever broken in through the bedroom door but someone has broken in from the bedroom window so... dad still first in the line of fire
100% man sleeps near the door I also sit on the outside of the table closest to the door for this exact reason lol even when I go out to eat I do the same
My husband places himself between myself and the door when we sleep. He also sleeps like a rock - like I have to slap him awake lol. but he sleeps between me and the door for safety reasons.
I sleep on the door side as I'm a light sleeper and my husband sleeps against the wall, so I'm always be able to hear a threat before they ever get in the room lol
