I lost 50 pounds before I started so I didn’t have to worry about diet during the build and climbing was easier. I have managed to put 35 back on during the build.

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

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

I’m building a roofed deck right now. The buildings easy. The planning & details

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

Then another 5 inches of empty air before it hits Sheetrock. The attic

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
