We sold our townhouse in suburbia in the spring of 2018 and have been living in a 27’ camper while we build our pole barn house on our new 5 acre homestead.

$31k for a deck!!?? Bruh...why didn't you build that yourself?
I am surprised there was no mention of the EPA restrictions on traditional types of pressure treatments for general home use in 2004. CCA and other treatments were very effective at penetrating deep into woods like Hem Fir and Southern Yellow Pine. The new products barely penetrate a 1/4 of an inch and use predominately copper compounds that can wreak havoc on galvanized fasteners and aluminum flashings. There are also many studies that show products like CCA are not really harmful to the environment. One thing for sure is, the huge waste of natural resources, man-hours, and equipment lost to the premature rot of crucial support structures is very harmful to the environment and our economy, also I would like to note that good quality tight grain lumber can rot pretty darn fast too if it is not properly treated. The topic makes for a good discussion and brings a little more awareness to the job of building with wood.
Thank you! I hear maintenance is important for generators. What kind of maintenance have you done? Is it all listed in the manual? Thank again
Looks great. Can you please tell us what color you used?
Oil base is the only way to go. All water base will eventually peal, causing a guy to have to strip the old finish. TWP is very similar. Good choice.
I would love to see an update on this, after 2 years showing how this has aged.
where we can get it?
That generator can power everything in a big and huge house I got the 15000 thousand watts generator same one planning to run it on natural gas
Only 1 coat? I thought normally 2 coats on new wood....
Per the label: "3. Apply two light coats to wood surface and allow at least 45 minutes between."
This was awesome! You are right … the included directions were horrible. Just finished getting out assembled thanks to you!
For me, this is the type of food I want to eat at a restaurant. Don’t get me wrong, I love innovation as much as anyone, from the next molecular technique to the newest foraged weed appearing on a tasting menu in the Nordics. But this is soul-satisfying food. Rich meats and fish, laborious sauces in pools instead of dots, and classical flavors. Pair it with a good wine (I’ve been really getting into Champagne lately as an incredibly versatile pairing wine as opposed to my Italian-heart stalwarts like Barolo, Amarone, or a Tuscan blend like Tignanello when one can find it) and you’re guaranteed a good time😉
WHere did you find your cover holder?
Great Video. You make it look so easy. I currently have vertical wood rails so I'm going to take them out and put in the cable for a better view, so I will have to drill my posts already installed. On your recommendations both the 85' rolls and the 500' rolls say not suited for cable railings....is that just a "cya" on their part our is it an issue using that. You listed 3 different cables, which one did you use? Thanks!
Nice video. Glad to see you have the circuit panel stops on each panel. I live in FL and got a Generac 12,500 / 18,000 watt used for $750 years ago and have used it to power everything including AC, stove, water heater, and 2 fridges and freezers. However, since like yours I can 10 hours run time out of 16 gallons of gas I bought propane tanks and can feed this for approximately 3-4 days straight if needed. I did notice a slight loss of power though, like I cannot run AC, stove/oven, hot water and dryer at same time. So when needed I leave one or 2 of those items off. Love this over the Stand by models as they are move portable, versatile regarding fuels, hook up and usage, and last, much easier to do maintenance and repairs on.
Hi Deck looks great. I was just getting ready to stain mine. I see the video is 2 years old. Can you give an update on how the stain is holding out? Thank You for the videos.
hi handsome what a beautiful deck. I would like to pay in crypto to spend the night. what a beautiful view. Great job.
Nice video, very refreshing, thank you. The stairs are great, I will definitely but them in folder for future reference.
👍👍🌹🌹
my wife is worried about sturdiness. do they wiggle at all?
Video is two years old. Have you reapplied yet?
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. You did a good job.I am a licensed electrician in North Carolina where we get the hurricanes and planned outrages. About five years ago I purchased a gen 17500. I allso put a natural gas coversion kit on mine to make it duel fuel. I changed the service on my home for manual transfer. It has served me well. It powers my home and shop. It is very important to do the required maintenance on this to keep the unit in good shape. I have an exercise time that I run mine at the first of every month . The unit is loud but it has served me well. I researched the right amount of natural gas water colum to make this unit run efficiently and to size the second stage regulator. When Hurricane Fran came through in 1996 we were without power for two weeks. I said never again.
How can we get the demensions for this tractor?
How Big of a opening did you cut for this?
*kreg jig makes this a lot sturdier and easier. Bought one for the construction of my 8 beds. Definitely recommend
What was the individual sizes of the wood if I may ask
There is a link to the stain in the description people. The color he used was light oak
Great video thank you. We bought the same model and I’m getting ready for install. How did you determine where exactly to stub the electrical? I want to be sure we position the lounge seat looking out to our view and your video really helped me see what I need to do. It also showed me the electrical connect appears to be at feet side of lounge seat. Very helpful. Back to my question: I was wondering where to have my electrical stub. Can the stub be under the hot tub so I don’t see it or it needs to be outside hot tub, right up next to tub exterior (I think that’s what you did, right?). Thx again for the great video. Enjoy!
You did it wrong
Love the videos. What was the total cost to build the home? What is the dimensions of the barn?
Another worthless video. Have you thought about the details instead of the weather?
will this work on my backyard patio?
Thanks for the great video. What's the dimensions of the hole/opening that you made in the loft floor for this install?
Is there any need to do Thompson's water seal AFTER staining with Ready Seal ? It's a stain but it is a sufficient seal/protectant?
Stairs are not available anymore
What colour you use on your deck ?
Does it flex at all? I just installed one and mine has a little bit of flex 😬
I'm curious if you guys did the slab yourselves over the floor... do you have any footage of that? Thank you
Can you put the list in the notes or somewhere please ?
Hey, you guys still good? Haven't heard from you in a while and wanted to check in. All the best from Canada!
Hey thanks for checking in! We are good just really busy with general life stuff. Hoping to upload some more videos this spring.
So now that you have your hot tub for 2 years. Does it hold set temperature with the cover off? How much did your monthly electric bill go up? Thx. Great video. 👍👍
Thanks for such an useful video. I have question: I m developing my basement with two washrooms. Could you please explain that how to wire and install fantech switch in washroom and connection in to my VHR 200R. HRV unit.
Just what I need I was quoted $2000 minimum charge from local company for my front entrance of the house. I told them to kick rocks Thanks for great video
Glad it helped!
did you buy it from PBS Direct? they sent me your link as an example of what I'm doing now in Nelson County, VA. I assume you were their customer?
Our home was built and supplied by Conestoga Buildings out of PA.
Did this myself and it works great! Easier than I thought. Saved money too!
Heck yeah! 👍
Hey, can we see some of your work?😀
Thank you for this! How is it so far and is there a lot of rusting?
Thanks for watching! Beds are holding up great and no rust issues 👍
Do you have any tips on measuring the cable so that when you tighten the Left and Right anchors the threads do not show?
Not really. Just eyeballed it as tight as possible and used the tightening of the anchors to pull full tight.
Did you use pressure or non pressure pipe for toilet
What color of the ready seal did you go with?
How many repairs have you had to do to your Costco brand hot tub thus far?
Haha Lifesmart But funny you should ask… calling a guy this week to fix a leak. It’s been great up until now though.
Setup video available for this or 18000EFI ?
