1. 1000 more videos, before the place is done

2. Have you back filled the foundation yet?

3. Jeremy & Jaime, thanks for the video and for sharing the journey. The progress is great. Jamie, the saw skills are "Awesome"!
   Thanks guys, blessings to you all.

4. Love the bloopers at the end, you guys are wonderful.

5. To me the view up there on that hill is beautiful. I can only imagine what the view will be like on the top floor.

6. Coming along nicely. Good luck guys!

7. Around the 7:30 mark, getting to watch the timelapse of you working with the sky in the background – it definitely paints a nice picture of the beautiful sunrise/sunsets in your future home!!

8. Your daughters' cameos lift the mood very nicely !

9. You are looking so confident with your sawing. ☺

10. after all that blocking, yall deserve a few beers. Tedious but has to be done. Looking good. Her saw table worked great and wow, if that is all the waste, yall did great.

11. "Can we drink beer now" — Now that's a t-shirt slogan if I ever heard one!!!

12. It may be a gloomy day there, but the quality of work is certainly a ray of shineshine!! Keep on keeping on.

13. Rains no good for a chalk line! Hahahaha
    And I agree with Jeremy- laughed out loud when Jamie poked her head up!

14. NIce video! Love the bloopers at the end. I can't wait until you are finished with this house … very excited for you guys!!

15. What a great job you are all doing!!!

16. It's looking good guys, it looks like ya'll are getting one step closer to being in a brand new house.

17. Beers always good!

18. fourteen and three eights!

19. I would have not used solid blocking since it stops you from running wires in the ceiling in the future. You can run a fish tape through cross bracing if you need to.

20. Why are you toenailing the blocks instead of nailing through each beam into the end of the blocks? That's why you stagger the blocks.

21. Lookin' amazing !!!

22. To much ladder work. You could could put down the first row of plywood then you have a runway to work from above. Your doing great work it's just that your doing it the hard way. Feel free to ask me anything I have been building houses for 30 years. ICF buildings, stick frame, panel homes,pole barns, metal frames, I keep my job because I get shit done.

23. I am so glad for y’all

24. with all the up and down you guys do I'd put in a dumbwaiter now for all your canning stuff! Great show!

25. ?

26. 1 x 4 diagonal cross bracing is we do and it is a lot stronger and stiffer …jus sayin Also 1×3 strapping on the underside

27. I'm amazed your code allows for joist hangers. In Alberta we had to have the joists on top of a header to put them in compression instead of shear of nails. It's too bad, I would love to have the header hidden in the garage instead of sticking down an extra 10".

28. Why do you not make the floors of concrete?

29. Lotta moving parts to this business but you are well on your way best reguards

30. Love the out-takes at the end.

31. What a nice location. The sounds of the crow! Beautiful. You guys work good together.

32. guys your killing it ,keep at it ,and then some.

33. that nail gun is so powerful, sounds like a rifle, all the best

34. If you are going to toe nail all the blocking instead of end grain nailing, why do you offset every other block? In the future plumb down at each end and snap a line across the bottoms of the joists and save yourself all the fiddling with the square on each board.

35. Lol!! seeing Jeremy poking his head up in fast motion reminded me of the game whack a mole. Jaime I was right there with you! I gasped when Ilaria was backing up!!! Looking good guys!

36. Beer time!!

37. Such a beautiful and quiet place y'all have there!!! Well done!!! TY

38. If I see anyone on a job without a tool belt they get roasted hard core. My friends dad always told us "if your aint wearing a tool belt, you ain't getting paid"

39. I see cutting a window in the basement in your future. That view and light is too gorgeous for a closed studio.

40. Just asking. Why didn't you all use TJI's for your floor joist's. Being a artist's myself. You can use the yellow, blue and red. And white for your base. With these three colors you can make any color in the rainbow. Plus it save's a lot of money.

41. Beautiful view!

42. I do enjoy your family comedic antics. 🙂

43. she looks like shes doing a Kilroy was here LOL !!!!! you're doing it right, get the foundation and the floor right and everything else fits
