This is awesome. Even better I felt like Ty Detmer was doing the walk through.

I am in awe how quickly you constructed your home and how wonderful it is. Major hat tip. Thanks for sharing the video.

I've been in the building trades for a long time. I just had to say I feel proud

I appreciate that. The guy across the street was in building his whole life and he popped over every couple

It will be so nice not having to work until 10:00 every night. Might be my best year

I'm so freaking jealous. We just finished framing so I'm now a plumber and soon

I found that the hardest part of plumbing was ensuring that the vents were where they need to be.

The work is never done. Does the metal siding/roof affect the temp inside?

No. Under the Siding I have a layer of Vapor Barrier, then OSB, then 4-5 inches

I wish I would have put fiberglass batting in the empty space for sound deadening upstairs.

You can blow loose fill easily. Some big box stores will even rent the equipment
