My wife doesn't do internet, but she always comes to see several subscriptions of mine's new posts, but this is her favorite. She just gets this look of delight n her face when she sees that baby and watches it grow!
I have been worried that when this house was finished, Spence and Kenz would ride off into the sunset; but I just heard a hint of “a future project”. YAY!!! Sounds like you two , plus Beau and entourage, will be around awhile! I love it!!!! THANNK YOU!
As an older man who grew up in construction and learned the skills during my lifetime. I just want to say Spencer , watching RU-vid videos will give you information on how things are done, only a small percentage of people have the ability to actually take that information and apply it . So my hats of to you young man, your a force to be reckoned with 👍. Me I would have to take a break from working to go Hunting 😃. Hogs , Deer , coyotes oh my😎🇺🇸 Love your show.
RU-vid videos are great for learning. I had never owned a flickmixer tap/faucet so didn't know how to change the Valve, Watched a YT video and learned quickly.
@@bakarisagna554 In Texas hogs and coyotes are considered pest animals. Hogs destroy property , and coyotes kill farm animals. But I do eat deer and hogs . So we're is the bad.
He is amazing. Your guys are so cute. I really enjoy watching the relationship. Im sure its frustrating sometime, but you go forward. God bless all of you. You are setting a great example of how a couple works together.
The most soothing channel on RU-vid. I watch every week, with a constant smile. Spencer, you are amazing what you are accomplishing. McKenzie your sense of humour is infectious. Beau has the most beautiful eyes! Just love this channel. Well done.
I agree since mostly on youtube you'll see to many politics shows or live feed shows of what has been going on lately. It's nice to take a break and watch this channel and hear Beau in the background making barking sounds
When you want to look at a couple that truly love one another and love being together, look no further. I love to watch the way you interact with each other. It's a blessing to watch. Thank you for sharing.
It does all the graphics one would need to display an idea to a container home lover. containar.homes Easy. Effective. Must have. I especially enjoyed the auto-roofing option. It made a long story short, and did it with amazing lines.
Suggestions from a building contractor for 12 years: I'm sure your did off camera but don't forget to caulk the dis-connect block where it meets the siding. Use the excess AC lines to make up for the shortage. Not ideal but just add fittings and test for a few days before you close up the walls. These units can clog without maintenance/cleaning and flood back into the house. Make sure you have easy-access to the drainage tubes. When you insulate around those lines use fiberglass insulation. IF, there is ever an issue with those lines you don't want to be chopping out foam. Remember removing the water heater foam mess? Now imagine chopping that out of the wall cavity by the front door in a finished/lived in space. When you spray leave a void 12" wide that you can fill with fiberglass top to bottom. Think towards the future when these may need to be replaced and new lines run. Lastly, with a young pup you may want to build a wire cage around the AC units or, spray the lines with hot sauce where they drop from the container to the coupling. The insulated lines look the right size and height to be chew-able or tug on. The smell alone should keep him away. You both are doing such a great job. Don't get discouraged. Chin up and see you 3 next week!
It's amazing how ppl with experience & know how are eager to get the information to you to help make sure you have it done the best way & safest for you & your 4 legged family!! You guys are phenomenal on your building this into your forever home! It seems like Murphy has been a little heavy handed on dishing out his law but you never let it take you down!!!! You take a break, think it through and get right back into it & get the solution done & move on like what you will do in this case!!!! Thanks 😊 for explaining & sharing your expertise with Spencer & McKenzie. As viewers we 👍 want it to be a conscientious & successful build with fixes done at the beginning of the project not after the build's completion!
@@miltonninde3518 If it keeps you from making a mistake that is not only a pain to fix but, also costly, I would welcome it. I'm sure that he is smart enough to be able to ferret out the junk!
Just ran into you guys channel by some weird algorithms of youtube, was actually looking on info on how to make a concrete fence and somehow you guys pop up..been binge watching ever since. Inspired for sure and you guys just got another subscriber 😊
After you set up all of the lines and wiring...make sure you take a pic of every single wall before you spray foam...so you have a visual record of where everything is. Removes the guessing game when hanging things up or fixing damage / renovations.
ThatGuyJunJun Best tip ever!👍🏻 They would never find it in the videos, but a separate file with good still pics would be so helpful if something screws up.
for A person that has never done this stuff before and needs to read books and watch videos Spencer is doing A awsome job. It's not easy At All building A house A lot of codes And rules you have to follow And knowing what your doing it takes Alot of time . Keep it up your doing Amazing it's coming out like you done it before And I know how hard it is to do so I just give you A pat on the back lot ppl probably don't understand how hard and much work it is. Your video makes it look easy but it's far from it keep up the good work and looking forward to the next video
Spencer, you two, are such an awesome couple! You both remind me of my wife and I, when we were younger. We been married now, for 44 years and it will be awesome to see the two of you do the same! You are an amazing, self made man. The research, the learning curves, you are mastering them all! Your wife is so proud, and never hesitates to let you know. The work you are doing is great! Just think, you and she, will have built this entire farm, from start to finish, on your own. What a wonderful legacy to leave your child/(children)? ;-)
I've watched you guys build your" little house on the prairie" from the very beginning. This is my 3rd or 4th comment to let you know how impressed and supportive I am with your determination to get it right the first time, the second time, or the third time. Your videos are the only ones I look forward to with anticipation. Keep up the good work.
I’m genuinely amazed that he’s taught his self all these things about building, electrical, plumbing, welding, etc... You’d never know he wasn’t already experienced. In love with your channel.🏡❤️
@@GeneWaddle Well, i think your Dad was amazing then. Yes, in the day it was books, not videos. I suppose it just looks so complicated to me, that is why I think it is amazing. 😁😁
Katherine McChesney thanks for trying to give me a grammar lesson, but you’re wrong. Hisself is listed as a dialectal variation for himself. While it IS an official word (just like herself), some would deem it grammatically incorrect. Do you get a high from trying to be the grammar police? Who actually uses all correct forms of grammar via social media?? I’m sure your intent wasn’t to be an ass, but it sure comes across that way. Find better use of your time, for real.
You're always praising Spencer about how much he's learned and improved but can we also all appreciate how your video production skills have improved?! The shots of the cables climbing out on their own, just the way you film and setup for your shots, the music, the editing its all gotten so good. BOTH of you are so AMAZING 👏 ♡
I would highly suggest adding a protective conduit in the wall for those lines... Especially since you plan to Foam. You want the ability to replace the lines without having to remove all that work.
Dogs LOVE to chew up hvac lines and even the units themselves. I suggest planning for this in advance by either eliminating access to these areas completely and somehow chew proofing the lines. I prefer putting up a small fence around the units and where they connect in.
They are awesome. It's nice to know there ARE good people left in this world. You guys are a joy to watch. You prove time and time again attitude is so very important. And you guys have the attitude that winners have. You are destin for a joyous life together full of Excitement and creation and wonderful lessons to learn together. And that baby of yours needs a sibling!! She is definitely A product of love. I see for you in your future .......Greartness Happiness And deep satisfaction. God bless your beautiful family. I believe I speak for most of your viewers when I say you are an inspiration and thank you for sharing your story.
"its just that I have been working so much, I don't know my own strength," said with a deadpan face..I laughed until I cried, you are so cute Just adorable. and doggy sitting on hubby is too cute too. You all are just such nice down to earth people.
I'm dead serious when I tell you this, I actually thought it was real. BUHAHAHAHA I swear for that quick bit with Spencer's arms I thought WOW GUN SHOW MACKENZIE!! Then half a second later I almost rolled off the couch. 🤣😂😂😂😂
I've been watching for a while now and I must say. I'm so proud of you guys!!! From installing your solar power till now. You guys have done an amazing job!!! P.s you guys are kicking ass at being parents!!!
Before the moment when Spencer picked Kenzie up...there were two other times where he just stared at her with this look...like...I'm so in love with you...that alone makes the video worth the watch for me!💕💕🤗
I agree. I so love these two! And now there’s an adorable baby girl, and a new pup. The house is looking so good and the craftsmanship is outstanding! Love your videos!
"We'll figure it out..." - you guys always do, and with the love that you share, you have a good time and look joyful every step of the way. Kudos for both the construction and videography skills, you both just keep getting better and better. Love you guys....
When you run the line set for the units. I recommend cutting a whole in the walls and sliding a 2”pvc into the hole then run your lines through that. So there is no rubbing on the metal. I work in hvac and we always do this.
Due to my somewhat contentious relationship with YT I have never commented here or pretty much anywhere for a long time. This has been an amazing and wonderful experience to share what you're doing. You have taken nothing and are making a beautiful home. You went from 2 to 3. She's growing up so fast. Just wait, your daughter will be in high school before you know it. Trust me, I know! Then she will be married and you... Oh hold up. You will have more. Thank you so much for sharing your life and your experience. I appreciate the wonderful people in this life, and trust me, you are among them.
I ran my lines in the wall also to hide them. Don’t spray foam the area with the lines. The ac will fail someday so think about the trim and finish there, make sure you can open it up for repairs
The foam will better insulate the line sets to make the unit even more efficient. The a/c failing will have nothing to do with the copper lines in the wall unless you kink them creating a weak spot and leave it, or you run a drywall screw etc through them. I will admit foam is a pain in the ass if you want to run future wired through that bay, but nothing you can't cut or run a wire snake through. The line set will never be a problem with the a/c/heat pump if someone hasn't poked a hole in it.
@@Spazzmatazzz the line from the indoor unit most likely runs part way down the wall as mine did so he would have to get to the fittings some day. Yes who cares if they foam 3/4 of that line and just left the connectors un-foamed, just hope the lines are same length and size in a new unit
@@garybensel6680 I don't understand why any connectors/fittings would be inside the wall. Any connections inside any wall should be silver soldered or brazed. The only connections that could possibly leak would be at the wall unit or condenser. There should never be a compression fitting in a wall. I've installed hundreds of these; Mitsubishi units, Fujitsu, you name it. There are few instances where you need to replace a lineset in a wall if done correctly.
@@Spazzmatazzz the indoor unit uses connectors and when it fails they will need to get to them. You have probably never installed inside a wall and had to go back 15 years later when it failed and had to scrape the foam off, no fun
I honestly love the relationship you two have the love you have for each other is so amazing !! I love how you two play off each other and the way he looks at you sith such love spence is the man he has done so much to provide for his family this is how real men ❤ the families they have
ever since I found yall on youtube, I've been loving watching yall! Just the whole learning different things on building a home AND yalls relationship! I love it!!
It boggles my mind that your man has taught himself so many skills and has become so proficient at them. (And on a side note, it is so attractive to see a man wearing his wedding band too). You guys are such a cute family.
Wow, I never thought that Beau could get any cuter, but dayum, she does, her name is perfect she is "beautiful:! You two make a super cute baby!!! As a grandmother to two sweet, adorable little boys and the mother of 3 grown-up adult boys I NEED a grandaughter, Beau will you be mine? lol she is so cute I want to squeeze those cheeks and hug her.:) Also, Beau getting her wave down pat in the stroller was too much, she is funny just like Kensie, I mean don't get me wrong Spencer is funny too but Kensie is the usual instigator. lol Spencer, you look great just the way you are man, you do not need hair to look good you already are! :) And Kensie you are such a good mom, you also are gorgeous, and wow your muscles TEE HEE you crack me up! You look so good after having a baby, it is very noticeable you are working out and taking care of your self...good job. I nominate the shipping container you just bought to be Beau's "she shed" or playhouse, once you no longer use it for storage,..... BUT WAIT lol I have a feeling you will not only not give it up as storage I think you might just purchase yet another "evergreen" container to add to your storage..I know I can never get enough storage. my house has no place to store things at all I have already outgrown my storage space and moved into a bigger one, now that is too small lol...one container, two container, three containers more, four containers, five container LOL LOL LOL Ok, one more thing to add to my novel, lol I was just commenting with another viewer recently on how much you two impress me, I am so excited and happy that soon you will be in your new home...and yes, it is true Spencer is THE man, I am so impressed how he has NO prior construction knowledge or experience and yet take a look at the exemplary job he has done on your home......when he is not happy or feels he could do better he is confident enough to say he is going to do it over and do ti better....you two deserve everything that is coming your way.....GREAT job guys!! You know I got your backs.....:)
Your baby is soooooooooo beautiful when she smiles and those blue eyes oh my gosh and that beautiful auburn hair like Mama Daddy's blue eyes and one things good about you guys getting an extra shipping container because you can keep all your tools and the drywall and anything else that you need to keep dry when it rains that's a good idea it can actually be used for storage
You two make me think of my wife and I when we bought our house, and the way we painted the house together. The only thing Avrille would/could not do is get up too high up on a ladder. She hated heights. So I cleaned and painted the pressed steel ceilings (the house was built in 1936 and also has suspended floors of Oregon pine) and she was happy to paint the walls with a roller. I have just started to watch your channel, and am really impressed with what you guys have done. Congrats on a great job, but most of all of having the right attitude. Nothing works out perfectly, so just go with the flow and make a plan. All the best wishes to you and your budding family; dogs, donkey and all animals included of course.
18:52 my husband says that you can use the extra tubbing you have and use silver soldering to add it to your line that is too short. You will need a pair a couplings, Silfos15 solder and an acetylene torch. The HVAC unit is pre-loaded with enough Freon to reach farther than 25 ft.
I agree with Essie. I would add that you make your splice outside, not inside at the unit. Additionally, you could get flare couplers to tie the two lines together but brazing would be best.
At first, I was so happy to see this was a 20 minute video, longer than most, but, at the end, I felt your sad frustration, and teared up with you McKenzie, then appreciated your goofy ending. Hang in there kiddos, as you said, trial and error. Your mistake will save others from same problem. Hope you feel our loving support and we’re cheering you on.
That transition at 9:30 was so satisfying. I went back and watch a video transition multiple times, I don't normally notice things like that, but that was nice.
I started binging your channel back in April and feel like I'm part of the story. Thank you for being so sharing and the genuine team all families should be. You'll always have everything as long as you stay together forever...🤗
Beau was telling a whole story with that little hand! 🤣 🤣 Aww! She's precious. Also, thanks for 20 minutes of seeing you guys make progress, also thanks for taking us along on the drive. It's a new, cool addition to your videos 😁 God bless
I’ve never felt so attached so a family I’ve never met. 😅 Been following this journey for a while and I cannot believe how amazing you all are doing. Keep up the hard work. ❤️❤️❤️
working as a plumber, and hvac we run into a lot of electrical, always something to learn. You will have beautiful memories of this, and that little girl has a beautiful smile btw, take care, n be safe!
McKenzie, you have an awesome husband. He’s smart, great work ethic, and that that’s hard to find nowadays. Spencer, You have such a beautiful wife with a great sense of humor and a beautiful baby girl. Just remember all your subscribers are rooting for you.May God continue to bless you and your family.
I started watching your channel here on RU-vid a few weeks ago and I just love and appreciate your energy and how you both support each other with constant humor. It's amazing how far you both have come with the new precious baby, your four legged cuties and everything which is falling into place for your family. You two are a blessing for each other and an inspiration for all of us who would like someday to have our own home without having to pay the high cost of renting, etc. Great job and keep up your beautiful smile Mackenzie and Spencer for always working hard to succeed in accomplishing the goals of having a wonderful fulfilling home for your beautiful family.
Love when the videos are 20+ minutes. I've followed for a while (since before 300k subs) and love how good you are getting with the B-roll and camera effects and the editing. every second of all of your videos are enjoyable and I always look forward to you posting. You guys are doing so awesome! Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
I do HVAC and having lines that are too short is, while annoying, an easy enough fix. since you've already ordered the flaring tool to shorten the lines, you may have enough left over to flair the excess that you cut off and use that to extend the other lines with a union.
The condenser should come precharged for 25ft worth of lineset. The longer one may be a bit low, but we are talking ounces not pounds. Only really need to charge it up if the lines start freezing over
Or instead of using more flares and unions he could have brazed the pipes and running nitrogen through them. Like someone else pointed out, better have a whole r410 tank, gauges, and a weighing scale. You'll need it often
@@kylef2254 No no no. The system can run low for a long time depending on the leak low on refrigerant. These systems aren't like your central ac, so you don't charge them until the suction line gets bear cold, like most bubbas do it. These units have to have the refrigerant weighed. And if there's a leak, a tech will not just add on. Since you can't tell how much these units will.need by the gauges alone, they will.alway need to be charged by weight. Whay do I know? I'm only Mitsubishi Ductless PRO
We are talking a foot here guys it's not going to ruin the unit if the line is short. Plus the line that's already connected to the head itself is 10" plus.
"Trial and Error...". Hats off to your determination and dedication to provide for your family Spencer. You're doing a great job! To have learned on the fly all of those different crafts and have everything come out as well as it has to this point. BRAVO sir. Keep up the great work.
You guys are doing awesome! One thing I’m impressed, is that your daughter is trying to talk, and leave her stroller soon. I can see she wants to be part of the work load. 😊 so cute!!!
The beautiful noises that Beau makes, makes my heart sing ❤️ You guys are doing awesome!! Not only on the house but from your parenting, too 😁 Corpus Christi, TX
WAHOO!!! I'm Soo happy about the new container!! Spence has patience of a Saint!! As many times as he has to redo some of the build!! Love watching you guys!❤❤❤
Too cute, Beau talking with her hands, then Mommy begins talking with her hands!!! So sweet. All of you are too cute! So much love built into this home!!!
Warning from an expert: Spencer, dont forgett to protect the climaunits from rain water and the dirt around them. Normely you must put them there where no splashing water- will bounce small stones or sand IN the ventitationsystem. Many put them UNDER a container. but strong winds can blow gras or dust in the units. Souround the system with concrete so that never get dirt in the unit! The protection is much better UNDER the cons. Greets from Hamburg in Germany from the facility manager
@@boosted740 Also a good tip- climaunits work longer if they stand on much massive concrete because the vibrations that such a good foundament soaks. If you build a unit direct one a house or is the unit conected with a house- then there is a way to decouple the unit from the house through putting some special industry rubber that are on the market a specialy for decouple units from houses or flats. The vibrations can transfere to a wall and in a house and a person can not only hear them but also feel them There are 2 sounds- the sound that the ear can hear and the sound that the body can feel- in German: "Körperschall" bodysound. The soundwafes from vrbrations will go through the skin and go in the organs and bones or the head. Like when a 800 PS car drives bevore you. This kind of sound you can feel. And this rubber will reduce such vibrations...
I agree the sand get splashed in when it rains. I prefer wall brackets. In the Asian market most are hung on walls. I’m sure if the slabs were extended under the container and the units pushed under(there’s the extra 2 feet they need👍🏻) they would always stay out of the rain and dirt. I just installed a multi-zone under a porch of a historical Charleston home with the condenser blowing hot air out from under the porch. Works awesome.
No matter the challenges y'all run into you always take it in stride, so amazing! Little Beau always has something to say also which is very cute :) I love seeing the progress and how y'all are getting closer to having all the electrical and AC stuff complete so you can hopefully start putting up the interior walls before any snow happens! Best of luck with all you have to do!!
You guys are so amazing, what brought me here to watch your video is how original you are, I like original genuine people so much, people that have nothing to hide. Warm greetings from Egypt, and you are loved.
Awww, you all are so cute, dogs included! ☺️ You have such a beautiful place, coming along so nicely. Where is this again? I must have missed it. You have a beautiful family and watching this brought a smile to my face! Can’t wait to see the final home. But you gotta keep the channel going with something afterwards because you all truly brighten my day! 😃
Wow! I was about to say, "adding another container already!?" I'll probabky end up adding another one to my container home at some point...but hopefully not for a good number of years 😃😃
"I dunno... We'll figure it out..." THIS sums up your channel, your life together, and all our lives too. It's no wonder we all LOVE YOU GUYS!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Watching you guys just bring so much bright and light and sunshine into my life and a big giant smile just knowing that you guys did that regardless of what happens or go wrong you always find a way to solve it.
i cannot tell you how thoroughly i have enjoyed sharing in this time of your lives...yall have much joy and in this time of such anxiety, its so important to see this...thank you
I Love your weekly program, it's so interesting. I love your sweet little family. Your little daughter is so cute. She's growing so fast! I can't wait for Your program every week. I just really appreciate you for your determination To stick with it & to get things right Even if you have to go back & re-do. I really admire you both . You just seem like great people I feel like I know you. God Bless your Sweet family.
Love, love watching you three build your home. It’s looking beautiful! Spencer makes everything look easy. Best of luck and God speed on the finish. Can’t wait for the final reveal!!!!
Been watching you two almost from the beginning from over the Pond and I must say that it is really inspirational to see your home coming together. I have been impressed by your work ethic and commitment to realise your dream. Every week I can’t wait to see your next posting to see the hurdles you conquer and the progress you make. 👍🖖✌️
I absolutely love you guys. Extremely hard working yet in love and able to work through so much adversity towards your goal. I think I'm actually another RU-vid student who is constantly learning how to do new things. I have never taken on as big of a project as you two have but I can really appreciate all the learning and mistakes along the way. The humor is awesome awesome awesome! I can't wait to see another video. ❤️👍👍😊
