 all right guys it's uh what time you say it was donnie what time is it it's it's after four and my man had 81 just put in a 10 hour day only if we needed something stevie uh nope i could go check in if i want but i don't really want to so but yeah so a little bit over 10 hour so far donnie's gonna go cook an awesome awesome meal we're neither one of us are hungry right now we're so tired because it's been a little while since we did this type of work but we know in about an hour or two hours we're gonna be staving and famished we gotta refill them calories that we burned off all day today i didn't even eat breakfast this morning they to peanut butter and jelly in a bag of chips small bag of chips for lunch so not much going in but i feel great and i'm uh when you're active and doing stuff and and you're happy building stuff or or uh seeing something done or progress or seeing progress i just don't think you need to eat so it's a weird thing to eat as much but my man 81 years old putting in 10 hour plus days over here how do you feel donnie i'm tired donnie's tired he took a couple ibuprofen for his knees early so that had me a little bit worried but uh he's gonna cook and being the young guy on the crew it's my job to try to get everything prepped for tomorrow um we're gonna have to do the work no matter what and i got a couple hours here before an hour before dinner so i'm gonna move a bunch of lumber off the top that we don't need and then i cut i got an idea on how to do the next project even faster and i don't know if it's gonna work or not so i want to try it tonight and then if it doesn't work i can sleep on it and figure out how it's gonna work if it does work then i'll sleep on it be just as happy in the morning knowing that uh it'll save us a bunch of time and effort and energy and um yeah so that's the story stay tuned guys we're gonna have an awesome dinner i'm gonna move some lumber around and water dripping right off these logs these ones here we got some beautiful two by tens that are longer than 14 foot they're like 16 footers i think yeah so we're gonna use these for our rim joises so these ones i want to get somewhere special i'll put these somewhere where i won't pass around yeah let me figure this out so this one is that one squared yeah and it's 12 foot 12 foot yeah 12 foot six so that so it's gonna hang over two foot six right so on one side of it you could run them the full length the strip the other side you're gonna come back no yeah but our our width is gonna be different too we're gonna be like the width we're gonna be 12 inches on on some of those well it's just going to be on the opposite side yeah of the line you know it's going to be on this side rather than this side over here right but i'm saying some of the foam we're gonna have to cut the 12 inches right some pieces in here in there in the middle no it shouldn't have to yeah well that's right when they overlap right so you know maybe you want to make the overlap might want to cut them back so you don't have so much overlap i don't know if that makes any difference or not oh i see what you're saying yeah cut them back yeah not so they'll overlap like a at least a foot so cut them all to 11 so this is if i cut them to 11 would that be good yeah 11 would be here and 11 coming here would be here yeah and then i could put on 10 foot strips yeah roughly roughly yeah then i could put on you know you might cut two of them and just set them on here and then you can figure out i could put on nine foot strips all day and not never have a problem right eight foot 11 right i understand and i mean i'll never have a problem i mean that's still gonna hold the foam up even if you don't get right out to the yeah friggin end right yeah that's a good point yeah so eight eleven so i'll cut all these at 11 foot yeah that might make it easier yeah it's good i can't go nine foot on the on the short ones i gotta go uh because we're hugging in four inches so i gotta take the four inches off on this i think it's gonna work now did you put your x's you put your x's so if this was a 20 footer it would be on the same line right yeah one would be opposite the other right one's on the opposite end not on you put these on the x side of the line this row then on the x side of the here at least these coming this way you put them on the opposite side okay yeah did i screw you up let's go so i didn't know the pattern it's no biggie learning on the first one way better than yeah see i got an x here yeah clear that goes on on the x side yeah these go on the x side and on the other side yeah all right what are we working on oh i whipped up some sweet and sour chicken got peppers in it onions rice sweet and sour sauce chicken with some biscuits on the salt oh my god you got cream honey green honey right from canada nice pure honey well i am getting ready to put a hurtin on that stuff tape measure tile in all ibuprofen batteries the kitchen table's got pretty interesting didn't they are gotta a saltman a star cream honey i've never quite seen it like this really good looks like it well thank you this looks incredible what a day yeah a lot of messing around stuff yeah he's getting things level yeah getting things level when you're this far off takes a while so most important part of the whole building yeah you start out wrong gonna be wrong when you get to the end yeah that damn transit really screwed us that Jesus that was weird something's loose something going yeah that's too bad too funny it worked good in the morning we hope so we did have to recon a couple of those but you put the level on any place there and it's wobble yeah we're good now yeah oh boy we got some work to do i feel good about it you're gonna gotta figure out how to do the strapping yeah yeah the one side i can just let it run by it doesn't matter right the other side i gotta keep it at 100 inches or less because the two get sandwiched together oh yep oh and every every single one ah i think this is the fastest way to do it i don't know there's no fast way but we could put all the floor joists up with nothing on them yeah i have to go back i have to crawl over them yeah yeah and as you say it's too high off the ground yep how many are there 50 something 56 i don't like that well it's four done haha it's four done why if i cut in the morning and bring them over to a year and lay them across so you can staple on the of that well what do you have to handle anywhere works you're just gonna cut them 11 foot i guess yeah yeah i can staple them right over there before i put them in yeah that'd be easy enough well i'm gonna hit the hay it's quarter of seven can you imagine going a bit at quarter or seven you'll probably read a little bit that uh but if i read i'll be asleep 10 minutes so yeah so hey so we'll see you guys in the morning perfect good morning day number two of construction yesterday was our first day we really happy with what we got accomplished yesterday and made a pretty solid plan for today donny's got the coffee ready i believe hopefully i didn't make it as thick as i did yesterday yesterday you had to chew it it's pretty black it's still pretty black yeah well the stuff we're using is called black silk it's not just folders see that oh okay this isn't your fault no they put a they put magic markers black magic markers in with it okay yeah to make it look darker than it than it really is but we um we kind of jumped right into it this morning just to see if how we were going to cut the foam and i think what we decided is since the table saw isn't wide enough to do 14 inch pieces we're going to do it with the skill saw and then there's going to be some custom pieces too because some of the lumber is going to be a little bit thicker and thinner just because the the way that mill cuts the bottom cuts always a little bit off so we try to get we try to have match it up but it's awful hard to do so well we cut them with a skill saw we'll do probably half the foam and then and then put uh put a bunch of the floor joists up and then stop and and kind of reevaluate how we're doing everything and and maybe do it the same way if it's the best possible way but it rained really hard last night for about 15 minutes and a lot of people get upset at that but i was pretty happy because it showed me a problem that we had a potential problem that we could have had is the water was coming down off this hill here and it was kind of coming down right through there which is fine but it was meander and over here towards this post and the last thing i'd want is water constantly running near or under one of my posts because then it could wash it out it could wash underneath it and it could you know tilt the angle of it and then throw off your whole floor system and or get frost under there and throw the whole building off so i was able to while i was standing up which is nice because if the joists were on i wouldn't have been able to do it standing up it would have been a nightmare but i was able to dig a nice little trench right here and the water's going to wash this and help me dig it too and that keeps it away from that post keeps it away from that post keeps it away from all the posts because you're not going to stop the water you know i could try to reroute it even higher and get it around the building but it doesn't look like i'm going to be able to do that it looks like i'd have to go uphill pretty hard with it so you can't really go uphill with water so so it's kind of good that it rained last night because it it showed me a potential problem and you know when you guys are doing your own projects always be on the lookout for potential problems and what the future might hold so that's what we got right there we're going to have a ditch going through underneath the house which is perfectly fine no problem but it's not going to be going near our posts let's go see how donnie's feeling this morning after solid 10 and a half hour work day then a couple hours of cooking up on top of it what do you think donnie how you feeling oh kind of groggy yeah always kind of groggy in the morning doing all right oh yeah i'm doing fine nice yeah i am stiff today i could use about an hour of sunshine i think oh yeah both good yeah my god nothing dried out yesterday no it didn't dry out in that rain last night it poured hard for about five minutes and then it kind of drizzled for a while huh yeah stevie's coming in the morrow morning so we better get that wood stove set up tonight in here for him yeah well if we can snap a line down the for the rim joist yeah then you can start nailing them sweet yeah i'll pull those in a little bit that are there you know where they joined in the middle or lap by yeah i think i would nail for both sides yeah yeah oh yeah nails are cheap yeah and that's you know the point that's going to be strong because the outside your rim joist is help helping to carry everything yeah carry all the way all right we're about to start hanging some floor joists pretty exciting this is a big big deal for us right here i've done this with donnie and full times i love the way he does it green him walk good yeah sir good question i'll get one on all right look donnie now if they're up 13 3 quarters gonna be tight yeah yeah but that one on your left hand is a little thicker that was one of the thicker one yeah that was like a bottom cut okay we're gonna let it go easier from your side you just push the nozzle in then pull the trigger where's the knot where's the knot oh let's see it's gonna be a tight fit on these perfect fit and then that little bit at the end we could do at the end okay you're good with that yeah nice i like doing that ahead of time like that are you good with that i mean the easiest way in the long run it's going to be the quickest then this one's got just a shadow you know yeah just a shade and then that 12 inch piece yeah i'll cut is that 12 i'll give you a like on it 20 28 and an eighth is it 12 oh thank you oh shy yeah go 11 and 7 eighths i don't know if i can be that accurate yeah i'll try 11 and 7 eighths by 28 and a quarter you know what we could do with she's fightless you tits all right 11 exactly yeah yeah i've been using them nice tight fit 4 12 yeah at that 28 and a quarter no i still crown these even though there's weighing on one side not on the other right yeah you got oh yeah and we're just we're gonna go by crown yeah this one's pretty easy all right guys going pretty well this morning as you can see uh floor joists it's a little bit of a slow process i mean we could be a lot faster but we're not racing anybody so um to hold that blueboard up you could see i'm i'm nailing those strips in with the finish nailer and that seems to be going the fastest to get the entire job done i could i could run the joists real quick and then come back and put strips in and then cut the blue board and then put the blue board in but that's a pain in the neck especially if you got to jump over each one or you're walking on top of each one i don't mind doing it all at once just like this and we're getting a nice nice good fit out of it so that's what it's looking like um just had a just had another fella that owns a camp up the road an old woodcutter stop in named gordon and told us a little bit about the area so so i got it i was able to get ahead of donnie here so donnie's donnie's getting caught up we don't need to tape these or anything right we're not taping these or anything right the joints of the blue foot ends with abortion that was our big can too yeah what do you think about launch yeah i'll be cutting studs for days i think anytime i get a spare minute when i'm waiting for something down here i'll just go cut studs i got 15 done another 185 we got it put these things up i love it this is my favorite day i've ever had built ever oh no you don't want to you don't want to you've even had to tear stuff down that you built before oh no we're gonna check this all over no i forgot about that i thought we were in the clear i thought we were in the clear donnie jeez i didn't even think of that 14 seven and three quarters that'll work really if we can square them up it was the least amount of we're going that way yeah uh yeah okay yeah which way i guess this was a good one all right we need this tool a little shorter so we get a nice square cut on it this one's good sitting down tight on that no trouble is i think they're all going to be 10 of the 16th huh they're probably all going to be 10 of the 16th oh i thought you did already yep i think closest to you is probably up right say this is up yeah i'm looking pretty great pretty great be honest with you well i don't think i've ever seen one sit down as nice as that thing of beauty donnie all right we are feeling good looking good sun's getting low we got two more to do and i think that we're gonna call it a day after that but i don't know we'll see what donnie wants to do we're gonna eat peanut butter and jelly because i don't feel like cooking no and i could cook tonight too i got burgers and dogs how would you feel how'd you feel about that yeah that's good a couple burgers and dogs oh just a one burger i need the dogs and at the bottom does that end tight against you last nail of the day donnie last nail there just drove my last nail of the day absolutely phenomenal day big piles missing giant pile of lumber missing i got uh 10 and a half hours out of donnie yesterday and i do believe i got about 12 12 and a half out of him today i don't know how he does it he's a machine he's 81 years old he hammers the ibupro for in around seven or eight a.m for his knees his knees bother that's that's the bad part but um as you can see he don't slow down any and i i know you were pressing today donnie i could see it about two hours ago you were wanting to get this done you were gonna make it to the finish line yeah so we're super happy um that's how we do it you know i know everybody does this things a different way but that's how donnie taught me years ago and that's the way i like to do it too well we we accomplished a lot today i think for two people yeah you know using rough lumber isn't you know you have some imperfections you know because when you saw and you don't saw you can't saw exactly the same thickness or width every time but you try your best and we've come up pretty good so tomorrow we'll finish up these little pieces insulation yeah and then put the uh decking on adventek and then we're going to be doing walls yeah somebody's gonna be cutting two by four for me i will be while you guys are doing the adventek i'll be doing i'll be doing that yeah i got 24 cut that's it sorry i couldn't get any more done but oh that's fine it's 24 more we wouldn't have right it's funny um now with the battery powered electric tools which can't say enough about oh we got two cans i just see another can of spray foam so we're golden oh good yeah but uh the funny thing is back when you used to build you'd run a generator with cords everywhere right yeah all day and then shut it off at night yeah and we turned the generator on in the afternoon or at night to charge the batteries right we don't listen to it any other time of day yeah which is a good thing yeah i mean we got enough batteries i don't even have to charge those tonight but yeah but we went through you went through at least two with the saw yeah you went through three today the third one's in there yeah and i went through i burned up a five amp in the the nail gun in one nail gun that's it for me so their batteries are pretty pretty good so is that to say by that that uh i probably did three times as much work exactly yeah i only did one battery you did a you did at least three times yeah that's how we measure it my battery you said oh yeah well i'm gonna put these tools away yeah call it a day you can leave those right there if you want you want good enough we're going easy tonight fellas hard day's work yeah the cook didn't feel like cooking he's rebelling so we got a different cooking it looks great be pretty easy meal tonight we work way later than normal no good 12 hours in so we're having burgers tonight probably can only eat one of them burgers but yeah i know i think i feel like having two on my plate give me something to think about well we've got rid of one pile of lumber that's a good feeling looks a little different than it was in the pile yeah i suppose that mice mess us down there that cabin well i think they moved up here we've seen one running around hasn't really stopped though hasn't he just keeps going back and forth i know he probably stopped when we're not in here yeah i might eat one more thing tonight but it's not gonna be that burger yeah i should have said one burger be good in the morning tomorrow yeah i'm gonna cut some styrofoam i think i can get a couple of them done oh i am stoked with how much we got done donny there's a lot of work right there yeah one day yeah i don't care how young you are a lot of work it looks like 44 joys or so but i did count them up i think it's about 44 we got stevie coming in tomorrow so we're pretty excited for that he's gonna really enjoy getting to do some framing and the building process here he's not a very experienced builder so well he didn't build a chicken coop yeah we did he's eager he's eager to learn all right yeah yeah boy this is the spot to build in though not down in that hole imagine i just can't imagine why i suppose he won't be near the spring yeah well it is still on a slope they just dug it into a hole yeah maybe the hole was there and they they filled the road the driveway up i don't know yeah it's a terrible design anyway but i guess it's served the purpose for since the fifties yeah why should i complain about yeah yeah and you're gonna be looking for a couple good spruce trees for that we need two cross ties i haven't left the property yet i know i'm gonna have to knock off early and probably wouldn't be a good week to get them for the most people around well i think i'm gonna retire to my tent yeah that was a hell of a day donnie hell of a day great work i'm already excited for tomorrow only trouble is all them two by four still need to be cut oh that's no big deal yeah i think we ought to build a jig for them right on this wood pile i don't know it's kind of height of well i don't know like like i could flatten this wood pile and build this jig this would be so much quicker oh it would be you know right here about this height taking from behind you
