The Family Builds Earthbag Building with Underground Studio | $7000 Cost | Full Version Movie

We moved to the country when I was 10 and my brothers were four, six and eight. We loved the open spaces growing up here. Yes, we were

building

all kinds of forts. We once built a boat. We used to build forts all together. I think that's how you know the way we were raised. We really stayed a long time on the farm. We would go to our school and finish it. And we couldn't wait to get out there and be creative and build something. I think that desire to build and create has stayed with everyone. of us.

As we got older being the millennials that we are, we eventually discovered technology and when we did it was iPods and that was it. We were sold. When we were creative as children, I believe that creativity has not disappeared, but rather has improved. Our

family

has built some

building

s with bags of dirt. So now it's time to put those skills to work once again. Build Cheap Buildings Cheap Buildings This is our biggest challenge so far. A recording

studio

below and then there will be a workshop above. The price to build it ranges between five and seven thousand.

Which is a pretty good price for a building. These types of buildings are really nice because they allow the whole

family

to work in the building. Let us take you on our adventure and show you how our family works together to build it. When we invited Jeff to dig a hole. We are actually planning ahead to get the

studio

ready. It's very, very deep here. Maybe if we go this route here's the latest. And then I want to show it to you. There we have the entire crater. We noticed that the walls were starting to sag a little, so we decided to put down that base layer.

I would say pretty close to the center. Just to make sure it didn't get buried because it would be quite a few months before we started building on it. We dug a trench around the outside edges of where our walls will be. I am taking the rock and placing it inside the foundation that we are going to place the walls on. We had originally planned to bring a bunch of rocks so we could stack the two walls on top of each other and make it a two story building. We changed our mind, we can expand the top section so we can span the stairwell.

It's their high-tech level mechanism that uses like two paddles and a rope to level everything. Everything is fine here. It had happened before and I just checked it and looked at it and it was level. Then the guys came in and started leveling it. And it was becoming less and less level and then they said. Oh, it has to go up, and I was like nooooooooooo. We used some railroad ties for the entrance and just buried them and then at the top we went ahead and cut a shorter one to put on top. Alright, do you have the drill bit?

Drill some holes. And then we take rebar and tap them together to hold everything together and then that will go ahead and be the entrance to the ground floor. It's going to be a little difficult to bury this. Get started, okay guys? Yes, Bryson has his new haircut. I'm fresher. Cooler because I don't have all my hair and I'm cooler because I look cooler No comments out there lollipop girl So why didn't you bring one for all of us? We've really been needing a sound studio and an art studio, so I'm excited to have a place to work on my

cost

umes and with my family to work.

When we reach about 18 inches high with the bags, we attach the electrical cord and boxes. this right here Yeah. Let's go ahead and put plastic around our building. We have some plastic here to act as a moisture barrier between the bags and the soil. Is it quite thick plastic? 6 thousand 10 feet high 100 feet - should easily span the entire building. I'll keep pushing it out of our way as we grow, filling it in, pushing it out of our way. You just want to make sure that you weren't involved in the math so that you don't have any responsibility if it's incorrect.

You just said "ya" to make me feel better. We're cutting to the stairs. So will this be inside or outside the building? It's going to be inside. Well. To tilt our steps down so we can climb them. Cut them out as we go. And then we'll build shapes here at the base. We have a four foot landing in front of an entrance door. Where there are mostly pockets of sand, the walls collapse but clay like the one you see above doesn't move. It collapses, what do we do? Lie underneath with your mouth open. Yes, with eyes wide open and looking up.

That's what they teach you in avalanche training. Enter the white smoke. Like a wave, you know you pass underneath. Bags here and plastic that separates the earth from our bags. So it was a good burn, Bry. Totally, there are all kinds of geography, I mean, every place has deserts, they all have rainforests and living in a certain area requires a certain type of housing. Our geographic location is very different than it might be in the Pacific Northwest or eastern states like New York, and the makeup of our territory is totally different. The amount of rain we receive.

We're only seeing about a foot of rain compared to 25 inches or more in the Pacific Northwest. It makes a big difference in what type of soil we get. So we had to keep these same things in mind when we built our

underground

earthbag

studio. One is how much water we get. What type of soil do we have? It has a lot of clay. It has a lot of caliche. What is calcium? So we have hard ground, especially the first three feet of our ground. And you have to go through that stuff with a pickaxe to get down.

And then there are sandbags here and there. The level of the caliche is so the first three feet there are many rocks in our soil. There is also a lot of clay here, so it is very hard, very, very hard. That's right after a rain. It's time to reinforce the wall to ensure security. First we fill. Let's just fill it up. Whoa Diesel, good boy. Yes. Oh, are you going to take it out? Hello Diesel Come here Diesel Yes!!!! Okay, so we're going to place the dead man just to help keep the walls from collapsing. It may be a bit of a stretch because of the way the bags compress on themselves, but it's better to be safe than sorry, and that's really not all.

It's hard to do, I think we're just going to go in like three feet and then put in another three foot piece. Right there where we are going to take out a bag, a bag on top. Place a rebar across the two to hold them together. . You could even put a rebar on this side. I'm going to do three. One here. We have another one there, and then one more by the stairs. It's something interesting. We're halfway there and it feels like we're starting at ground level again because we've filled it with backup and our bagger is.

We will be able to stand on that and so will we. So we had to say how do we retain a circle inside the ground? We have some forces that work. We have the force of gravity pulling downward. So how we fix it is that our bags are stacked directly on top of each other and we've tamped them down so they're solid. Then you get the idea that if you can compact the soil you will return to caliche or solid, compact soil that does not move. We have used barbed wire to help with cut resistance and three just because it is a circle, it retains the same types of force as an arch.

You can actually make a bow hold together. Throw it to the side and any force coming from outside. Likewise, press the circle. Because all forces together - similar to arc theory. The good thing about this is that it rained because it means that all the dirt we have been putting outside will settle nicely. That's why we put the plastic here. They are definitely solid. We keep going up. Building these walls like a toothpaste tube. I always wanted to say that. Slats are attached to secure the bags to the door frame once again. We need to install several hanging cleats around the building to hang the green screen and other background elements on the wall.

Do you know what it looks like? It seems like we're all on the same level. Are. Get down to my level son. Shae, you've never stood on something so high, you're getting really good, look high, there you go. I found that if I stay in the air conditioning all summer, it doesn't really...summer becomes really fantastic. super hot, so I'll see if I can get out and work on it. And your body seems to get used to it. That is why it is very important to leave early. It is very hot outside. It's not hot, just our brain tells us it's hot.

Are you ready? Yes I am. Wow, that will keep the sun away. It was only $25. I was like I couldn't say no. Go get it. Quick, I have little time before he returns. I have some land here. Will you slide in that direction? Check it out. They are the simple things in life. Bryson has always been a wonderful kid. We're all wondering that too, guys. I have a speck of dirt on me. What we now call the MusArt studio. Get it because this will be a study of art and music for our steps here. We have a four-foot opening up.

Our first real promotion. It's going to be there. Does that sound cool to you? Bryson, Shell? How does that sound? Yes. Well, we want to have steps that will be about seven and a half inches high on the riser and we're going to pour a 12 inch thread, but then we'll put the next step in at an inch and a half. then we will have a ten and a half inch tread. We built a frame to allow us to use that same frame throughout the build. Very good. Let's try this. It doesn't need to be too sturdy.

These are the ones that must be quite resistant. But I think we're fine. The steps were rectangular, however, they had to spiral upwards. So you have one side a little smaller and the other side bigger. So that's the first step, huh? Yes, this is the second One step at a time And then we remove the frame and set up the next step and then we place the next step and then we take out the frame and we continue using the same frames all the way up. So this overlaps the concrete One inch and a half this is number one two three four five six So you're taking steps and suddenly... what?

What a dog! Was Monday for you? Was that you on Monday? or Diesel? Who was? Who screwed up in this? And let's talk about the footprint. I'm going to put my foot there. Are you feeling very good today? one hundred percent one hundred percent? So we went water skiing and the sun kissed us and then my muscles didn't work. I couldn't get all this big, heavy bottom out of the water. I'm a teenager and I can't move. It wasn't you skiing behind the boat. See. Elegant. Perfect, we're done. We're done now. We're done. We're done. Garen begins to plan the design of the circle above.

We wanted our largest circle to be centered on our smallest circle and the center circle has the ladder, so we had to take that into account, so we moved the reference post and put a little extension on it, so we could go higher. I put my pole in and pulled it out, then I'll level it out and start laying down the next layer of bags, right? Yes, we will do it. I'm going to take the highest point of the bags so I know where to place the top of the stairs; actually, the inner circle. We count as a six foot opening.

The two front posts you see are for French doors that will be placed in case I put in a six foot slider. This is the desert for you. One second it will be like hey, everything is nice and sunny and the next it will say, now I'm going to rain on you. We are installing a berm around the side of the building, which will cause some pooling inside. our first layer. We need to be able to divert water away from the foundation level. That's a common problem in construction. Not only does it affect us, but any builder has to keep water out of his case.

Let's see how well this holds up. Hello pig. Our bags were a little soggy on the outside, so we had to let them dry. They get completely wet like real mud; if you move them, they turn into this real mush and can cause tons of problems down to the bottom. We don't touch the bags when they are so soaked. We simply let them dry naturally. I'm not playing. I'm diverting the dogs so mom can record them. So, therefore. I am a key piece of an instrumental work, rather than an ornament. I don't even know what that is.

As a decoration. Yes, instead of a decoration. We have dedicated approximately one hour a day. Maybe a little more in the circle to try to make one line a day. We will work in the morning when it is not raining and then cover the bags so we can catch the afternoon rains. Come on in, we won't soak our suitcases so much. We will be able to work the next day. It's amazing how fast it goes when you only do one line a day. That thing will be up in no time. The walls continue to grow. Nice, complaining wheels.

We see who the squeaky wheel of this family is. Are the kids starting to prepare for electrical outlets?We install the electrical boxes as if it were a cleat. We simply nailed the boxes directly to the plywood. The duplex boxes we are using have nails on the box itself, so it's like nailing it to a stud. She should be here learning electricity. She could learn to wire her house. You never meet Bry. Okay, so the question is: I have one more way out. Where would you want it? Three there on the other side, rocket stove, one right there?

I think it looks perfect, okay? We simply run the wire between the bags and make sure they are separated from the barbed wire so that no short circuit occurs. Inside or outside? Wire outside, barbed wire inside Easier than trying to attach it to the wall later and cover it with wire. Subscribe if you want to see more "U" nails What is that now Garen?Your light switch that you said we needed because you were right. We needed one. What's wrong with you being right today mom? When the kids get a room, they get a dog and Bryson hasn't gotten his yet.

When we finished her room four months ago, I think she just wanted to settle in. When children wake up in their teens, you know they don't. I don't really like that when they are little you hug them and snuggle with them. As they get older, you know you don't do it anymore. That's hard when daddy gives them a big kiss, so we like them to have an animal when they grow up to that age because that gives them something that they can, they can. hug and love each other. She was thinking more of a teacup poodle.

For Bryson? Yes. Get a poodle. Do you want to get a poodle? Yes, a poodle shaved to the skin with just the tail. They make... God makes those. They are simply called hairless poodles. Exact. You wouldn't have to shave it. You can get a Great Dane so he can take on Diesel. I thought of that. I think you should get a not so Great Dane. Very small. I want a very furry dog ​​that doesn't shed or bark or eat or poop. I think you're talking about a statue. How about a stuffed animal like a stuffed animal?

They could hug him. It is now level with the window. We have the windows. I gained weight. Watch your toes! This particular room has larger windows. We opted for three foot by five foot windows. Dad is nailing these braces to keep them square so you don't have a window. That's like in Bryson's building we used two by twelve in Bree and Garen's building we used two by ten, so I went back to two by ten. The

cost

of the design seemed too much... We just wait while Dad and Garen Plan all the windows that bother Garen with that window over there.

Dad likes it symmetrical. Garen says... We can't do that. Diesel, are you picking beans there? Are you eating them? These are tent poles and we will use them to reinforce the walls between the windows. As we have done in the past. Little movement on this wall due to all the rain we have had lately. Come here. We have a photo of this. You can see a little movement on the wall. We are out of place. The best way to fix these things is to fix them. I was hoping to avoid it, but that's what we have.

Use the pole on the pole and we go around our circle that way we get the perfect circle we want. I take the rope and I tighten it, in this case I'm just using a knot as my marker and I just run, make that mark around the building before I tamp it down and then we just follow it to the end of the building. and then our walls are relatively straight. There was only half a brick. It rains a lot. We had a giant storm. Get the bags wet and our tarps come off. Yes, we have a very strong storm.

They will get wet further down and everything will be soaked. So we should go down and take a look at the bottom. It looks like it's actually holding up very well. I mean, I don't see any bulging or collapsing anywhere. Which is good. Oh, you can see that the water is stagnant down here. We had a lot of rain. Yes, it seems to be holding up very well, actually as solid as ever. Hey, look. a mesquite tree. Check it out. Hey, you know if we wait long enough, it can be the center spot. After weeks of dodging storms, we will finally have a respite.

We quickly get to work getting to the top of the bagged planters. What was wrong? Don't know. One of the ways to help reach our goals sooner is to cut the tops of the windows. We wanted to go ahead and shorten the walls to accommodate the ceiling a little better. We decided to go ahead and let them fall. one foot and that makes the entire roof go down one foot. The height of the wall was increasing too much after we added everything above the windows. It's going to be a skyscraper before we can put the roof on.

In this building, I really wanted to make a lot of bottles. When you put them together, I don't want them to stick out too much beyond the bag because then you have to fold them and they stick out, so I try to stay very close to the same width. Where do you think, Bry, right there? Yes, with bottles you can't just spike them and tamp them like normal because all the weight, when it starts to build up, will eventually break the bottle. So you want to put the bottle in and come back to it and then make a thin layer on top and then when you tamp, just tamp all the way to the top.

Don't hit it until you at least get the next layer. Beer bottles These are not beer bottles. I like this arc. When we started the design process for this and everything, Dad really wanted to put in buttresses. We talked them out of it because we don't like the look. Because we didn't put buttresses. It's possible we had more. problems than we normally would have had. If you apply too many coats too quickly and they never have a chance to dry and harden, it's like a bag that can move even though it's wet. Once it hardens, it is solid as a rock.

A 30 foot circle in a 14 inch bag is the absolute maximum you would ever want to do. Really is. We didn't really know that going in and we didn't really think that far ahead. We didn't even think it would really matter because we've had really good luck with the smaller circles. And then once we got to a certain height, we had some issues with just putting the walls up and our center line got a little bit shorter at a time when the walls went in and out and normally that would be fine. But then came a big rain.

He soaked the bags to the end. It caused it to become very weak and then began to bend. I mean, if they gave us buttresses, we wouldn't have these problems. It was the worst place for anything. I wish this would happen, but it happened right there. We noticed it was definitely moving. So let's try to fix it. We decided to use companions. So we are at the base of the door below. We can connect the cable to the base, run a cable to the wall. We can pass the cable. We put a backrest on the back of that.

Back and forth to the breakthrough and then we used the breakthrough to bring up the wall. That's already much better. Look at this line. I would go a little further. It needs to be pushed in and I'm thinking we could tamp it and I would move it and then tamp it. So this isn't going anywhere. Understood, you know. It's really working well. Garen, come here and look. We are already at one hundred and two and a half. So we're moving a lot of dirt into the center pocket here since we had that big rain - all the dirt is still wet - it hasn't dried out yet So it's going to resettle nicely And if it were all dry, the wall would weaken.

This type of "s" turn that we had, we were able to solve. When we were doing this, one of our links on the cable we were using ended up blowing up, which I guess you're always afraid of. So you're always careful about this, but it actually happened this time. Yes, it comes out about six or eight inches. It was not so? At least the advancement elements work very well to position the wall back to where we wanted. I think what happened was the spring effect where we had placed it. When it broke, it's like wow! He went as far as he could instead of just going back to normal, so it happened a little bit.

We brought it back and it's just unforeseen. We can't always, sometimes things break. It's actually a good testament to what the bags are: how sturdy they really are. I mean being able to back up like that and hang out at a crazy angle and just stop. I mean, that's really surprising. The first thing Dad did was he just wanted to crush it and I was like, no, no, no, you can. Not just tamp down a giant section. It just doesn't work, and then you have to go over it and I was out of ideas, so I said, "Okay, Dad's gone, we can try tamping now." It looks better.

He does. Don't tell dad how we did it. In fact, it ended up working out a little bit. Was it difficult to admit? Yes. Look at that wall. Look at that wall. How beautiful is that? Better than it was. We managed to put it back in and put everything back together. We are digging some holes to put some posts in here to hold our folding bed. So it worked very well. Not only did we receive posts for the Murphy gang, but we also received posts for the wall; We can help sustain it. Hey, I didn't move at all.

It's good, I've been thinking about different types of roofs, how this reciprocal roof came about. We needed to build a reciprocal roof as a kind of example, a reference. The kids divide the circle, draw a line and create eight. equal segments You were slow until the end. I could have drawn six circles. I'll show you how it's done. What do you call that? boom bisection Look at that line! A little better So we were sending signals to outer space, right? Our symbols on the ground. If you land here, you can take us with you. Yes, I think this will work quite well.

Dad is using an excellent attachment method. Alright, there it is. And it was strong enough for one of us to climb up and stand on it. OMG, that's amazing, guys. We went down and bought all our lumber and got our big 30 feet. 30 feet 2 by 8. Eight of them. I wonder what kind of trees they had to cut down to get those at least 30 feet. Everything looks fine? So what is this? Dad, are you sure you understood them correctly? He says: Wait, wait, and I'll figure it out. I thought I was going to keep doing this over and over again and it would work.

It would work if we did. We can create a monster! We have created a masterpiece. This does not go to the video It goes to the video Are we the champions? Everyone go jo kim ah, I better not. I'm driving your balls, this thing in the world's heaviest Hula Hoop. I think we've already figured it out. So all we've been doing today is simply building an incomplete scaffold. It will work. The scaffolding looks like a crazy mechanism that was supported by a pole. No, it had four posts. It seemed like it was one. It was scarier than heck but it was fun.

No, it wasn't scary. Oh, my hectic system is fun. I bet you wish you were here a little further back. If that is all. Yes, intersection. Yeah! Ah! He fell? In addition, they decided to put a ladder on top. We couldn't climb high enough: the scaffolding only went so far. So we had to climb on top of that. It's probably 25 feet. You are in the best view to see if it is level. Can you stand up to see if the top is level? Do you feel comfortable? Here we go Look where we are, people Push Push Push um He's on that edge, and it's only if he takes a step back.

There is nothing that can catch him. It's so scary. They are, they are very brave, they are doing a great job. Check it out. It's very stressful just looking at them. I can't stay here Hey, we got to see the air and thanks to Sam, Garen and Bryson we got all of our beams up in the air and everything looks great. Ready to go With the beams in place, it's time to level. It's about four feet wide. Actually, that's the highest. We're just going to go around, level and nail all the joists so the ceiling is level.

Someone chewed up our line level. Yes, Bryson. What sounds familiar to you? Does it look familiar to you? So that's your new line level. Yes, it's our new line level. It's top of the line. Best of the line Look at that beauty. It is so big for those who have difficulty seeing it. Hard to see, those are the wrong words. Visually impaired. Is daring. That way dad can see it. This was a spot on the bag where the rain got so wet that it oozed out of the bag and is now completely solid. Down here, you're looking up, you're seeing this. beautiful - wonderful little curve that appears Here, I'll show you how they work.

I'm sorry, Bry. It's going to be tables that are coming here to help with this. They were installed here like this to support the boards that are going to come out. We are placing Jack beams that fill between the joists and that helps with support. Yeah, a guy named Jack did it. I don't know why but they called him Jack. We named the monkey Jack Arhhhh. Do you want to do the others now? I'll get you these first 34. Inside or outside? He is inside. I have it. You know, what's really cool is having a garden there taking measurements, laying out and doing all that and then just yelling the measurements at me to cut.

Now you'll be able to do it yourself More than a little over a quarter of an inch - come back The guys start installing the fascia -the roof face We build the fascia in a sort of zigzag pattern that is the same width and dimensions of the rafters themselves. So it's nice to be able to build it that way. I know some people will save money by using smaller materials, but I like to match the tails to the dashboard material. Ready. I'm always very happy when we get to this point of bagging. We're in the last section of the bay, and then we think, we're done for good and then it's all cobblestone and roof.

This is victory, my brother. We have won the battle, but not the war. The kids think they're done, but there's a little more we're going to have to do, but they feel pretty good about life, so I'm not going to say anything. First we found all this. idea of ​​the reciprocal roof when doing a little research on the Internet I found this pdf of reciprocal roofs from a gentleman who is a design engineer who is in Japan and there was a lady, her name is Olga Popovic. She had done a great little review of that particular process and how everything was done.

The name of this is called reciprocal framework architecture in Japan and check it on Google. So I'm very sure it was a good process. I started cutting the roof and designing it the way it was done in Japan. The idea is also that we have compression rings at the top and a compression ring at the bottom. It's very similar to a yurt or tipi, you even have a compression ring on top where you tie around the poles of the tipi. I am very happy with the results and I have been building roofs for a long time and it is a lot of fun - it fits perfectly in a circle.

Dad wants to reinforce the frame with a yurt-like cable system. He heads to our scrap metal pile to look for the necessary parts. We'll look for a pipeline for this. Here it is perfect. If we run the cable through there, there will be no risk of it eventually breaking. Okay, now to make it pretty, do you think we need to cut the other side? I don't think it should look pretty, we're not looking at it, are we? Yeah, this shows Oh, it shows I say let's do the four curves and clean them up. I didn't realize we were... you can still do the four curves Deburring Are you cold?

If I have cold. It's colder here. I'm still in shorts. Freezing here. It's not supposed to be cold. Garen doesn't wear shorts but were you always the bright one? Brilliant what? the smart one oh Don't look at my work. I'm not looking. Yes, of course, we have enough perfectionist here. You won't see it from 40 feet in the air, just bring the pair of pliers and the cable. What you wanted to do. What's your plan with these? Put this here. And yes, maybe against the wall, so everything - it looks the same. Just punch a hole right there.

Passing this suddenly, passing our cable. We only have eight to do it. It shouldn't take that long. Sounds good? If that sounds good. Here we go. That's a cable we're installing now, it's kind of like a compression ring that holds all the bottom parts of the beams together and it's kind of an extra measure. I haven't built one of these before so I'm going with something a little more on the bottom, like a yurt, the wire will be below ceiling level so we'll have a chance to tighten it up and use it as hanging banners or something like that.

It will be fun. That's all I need. Nice. That's the insurance, honey. That's all I need. We went down to get plywood for the roof section, but I usually like to buy plywood. But the wood has become much more expensive than what I bought with the osb. It should be eight feet, isn't it, although it is a bit long. happening Yes One Bay complete Looks good. The last Mellon comes together. That's all! This is the top plate that the curve will place on Dad, forming a seven-sided polygon. I left like the wind. You didn't measure the correct distance.

Well, let's just take this one out and cut another one that's half an inch longer. Three failures this morning. Well, third time's the charm, right? The fourth time is the charm. The fourth? Okay, then perfect. You are a genious. We knew you had it in you, dad. We Always Believed You Through the Hole Well, I Missed It We received a surprising call from Susie, an Ondura representative offering us materials to use on our roof. Push box of nails arrives today. We sure appreciate that they gave us some product and that's it. Is incredible. It's really amazing.

I'm very excited, very grateful that these guys are so willing to do this. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks Tar paper time Let's go ahead and cover it. He is rising. He is rising! He is rising. He's not moving. Right up there. That's enough. We can solve this now. Well, you can change this. You can slide it up and down. Yeah, start laying out the first bay to figure out where we want everything and how we want to start laying them out. The wind starts to pick up, it looks like it's going to rain. Your width measurement now, if you could give me that?

Let me pin this so it doesn't move. What we need to do is see these Yes, go to the right at the top with just one tap. That's all there Back a little - there. That's it, it's perfect. At one point, some of our sheets even flew away. Well, they're tough, yeah, they're putting together the only bay we have, okay, I'm going for it right now, I'll put things away and wait until tomorrow to finish it, oh. injury means you should hammer the nail, not the finger, tell that to the hammer. It's the hammer's fault, yes, it's the hammer's fault.

It's out of balance, sorry, unbelievable, Garen. It's called training the poor. The worker blames Garen's tools. Our good friend Marvin came to help us and we are very excited to have him here. He is quite the carpenter. I have seen many children with saws and gangs. things I've run and it's amazing to see these guys use these saws. They are so confident. They are using them correctly and safely, very impressed. So we are trying to find a solution for this skylight. And I think we might have found one. I think it's the best idea so far.

If it leaks... I think it's Bryson's fault anyway. Now it's time to put the skylight on my friend's Skylights. That means our job is done. The boys decide to start from the bottom up. They enter and go down the stairs to start on the cement floor. We set the level by taking two leveling bricks and placing one in the center of the floor and at the door seal. And then we leveled it from the seal to the middle of the room. We want to have the right grade, the right amount of land. For us to put it in the cement, everything is mixed there.

We don't have to take anything out. There is. We were lucky to have everyone come and help again. I joined the team of Marvin, Bryson and Shae. Are you trying to achieve it? He's trying to help you, Diesel, do it. Go over there. Come on Diesel. Good Guy. Pull! The first time we turned all this, I did it with a shovel first and then you guys did the rudder, the young man in the room, Bryson, was able to do double the work for us because you know we are experienced carpenters. We know this and that's why we weren't as skilled with the shovel as he was, so the poor workers blame his tool.

I don't blame the shovel, I just blame the bodies of the two old men you're working with. You didn't know you'd come for this, did you, Marvin? No Yes. There's something really nice about that. So we used the water to moisten and hold the powder at the same time and then I got to spray Bryson from time to time, which was fun. He only did it once, surprisingly I expected more when we lived in the city. You know we were putting the kids in activities, which is great. The activities are great, but I think those times we spend working together are probably the most valuable times we have with them.

It allows us to build that relationship with them. You know they can see how we handle problems. And how we don't handle problems very well. Then they will see some of our mistakes and say that we are not as perfect as we think. So it's humbling and it's fun because you're sharing and the kids get something out of it. I get something. I learn all the time and you are a good leveler. I mean dad. Don't take dad out. Just helping. We can see how our children handle stressful situations. Did the stone bend the tooth? about how they handle situations when they're tired It just allowed us these moments to intervene.

Try again, I'm almost done with my crop circle. Did you hit another rock? yeah Oh no It's huge Call made, huh? I'm going to rinse this off. Now we have to focus on leveling it out. and then we tamp it down Oh no. Diesel, you're going to get me in trouble. Don't make footprints. quick quick We need to find and cut some good tree branches to replace the temporary posts for the studio entrance. We are in the pile of potential studs. Do you want to help me get this out? Yes, let me wait, wait. What do you think of these two?

This? That? How fun Dad makes plans to frame the floor. I put my double two by ten and then I go out to about four feet and then we fly again over the top of this and so after the blocks are built, we take twenty foot two by ten and clap them. and then we'll put them along the long distances, the longest part of the circle. And then we'll just narrow it down from there and just put in singles. Bring him here, Bryson can practically push him. I can push it flat. Yes, it's amazing. You can stick that end in...

Show them Bry. Show them your strength. Because he has no brain he can't defeat us. Right guys? I think the one who will determine the height will be the one over there. We will place the next one or this one here but we will not nail them and then we will decide. We basically raised the sides of the slat to have a nice level floor. I think that's pretty accurate. Exact. Our goal is to finish the floor this week, so the guys continue installing the floor joists four five six seven. We'll go ahead and lock it down so you can work on it.

When Bryson and Dad are completing the floor sections, we girls are getting between the joists. They asked us if we girls use power tools. I use power tools It can't hold up That's a hack job The bags are like adobe bricks, but with nails between them to secure the floor I think I may have too much in here Can you come out? Are you stuck? Yes, please take it. There we go, but wait, it's wrapped like three times and you consider yourself safe? Wait, you're scaring me and that's why we don't show ourselves using power tools.

That was stupid, you didn't understand it on video, did you? No, okay, I don't want you to see that we can do a couple of these before it gets too dark until we get to the wall, okay. We're going to take these 8-footers and we're going to run them. The top of the ladder cantilevers them out. Let's party as if... Let's party Hello friend, now, what are you going to do? Hey, we are now curating our posts for stair railings. Sounds like a great post? He also has some memories: of our tire swing. Oh yeah. I'm excited to make a mesquite stair railing.

The good thing about a post that is secure is that you can make it part of the floor so you can screw it down. That's what's great. The best thing about Mesquite is that it is very twisty. It's everywhere. It's not like plywood. Direct We screw it in two at a time. We'll run it at 38 inches in post height and maybe 40 for the top section after the railing piece is attached. and then place a bag against it and then place some blocks so that they become really nice, strong posts, rather than just fixing it with a bracket or something to the top of a platform.

Now that the main staircase allows us to enter, we are Let's go down the stairs lying down from our electrical system. Yes. Making the three-way switch, we then turn on and off the overhead lights and the fan as well. Okay, so we're preparing the wall. There's not much preparation though, right guys, just a little? What you're seeing is after I was carrying this on my shoulder, then when it got right to shoulder height, it made a "boop" like that. The plan they are making is to mix mud with perlite one by one for now - let's see how it turns out.

We're going to add a little bit of water, probably just a little bit. I wouldn't add too much. Well, should we try it? Yeah, okay, let's throw daddy in a bit. You want to help me? We made it with a peanut butter mixture which was first and then I moved on to the pancake batter. I wanted it a little thinner. What do you think of that, Bry? Well, it sure is a soft texture. If more? Okay, this is yours. I have to do more. The sound moves in a straight line until it hits something and then the more times it hits something, the weaker the sound becomes.

So the idea was that with the rolls of the bag we got a little cushioning. Also so that it reflects on the little pieces of perlite so that it bounces off something. The more bounce we can get there, the better. If I can get all kinds of different angles and soft material, that makes the sound dull, and what we're trying to achieve is a dead sound.It sounds good when you're standing in the middle, like this. When you move here, it really gets quieter here. Let's paint this down here too? Yes, isn't this pearl for gardening? yes Do you want more water?

Yes. The test: think pancake batter. No no? She was thinking about something else. I was thinking about food. When I say pancakes, it was like "great dinner time!" In fact, I was thinking about food. So we have our fans and we have our pipes. The dog stuck his head in here and got stuck. This thing was kind of broken and hanging, so we're trying to get it out. Dad, come here, I need your help. You need to run. Hope

full

y we can bail it out and get some tubing out of it and basically our fan connects to this piece.

This pipe is supposed to extend up to eight feet, but it is missing a few feet. Diesel, didn't you learn the first time? Don't stick your head in there. I think he would have liked to put the vent in now. It's going to be our draw, so it will draw air from down there and push it up. It has to go up that high. If we can take the lower, colder air down there, which is on the bottom right, and pull it up, then what we're going to do is we're just going to run that four-inch by 12-inch tube.

They do this like this, and we'll go straight down next to the wall. You always need good airflow there. It also provides good airflow. Yes, and get fresh air. Shelly and I were like traveling through one of the hardware stores. And we came across this architectural glass. We picked up a couple of these and we're going to install them on the floor. Do you want to put it up? Can? Yes Do you think that can support the weight of a person? Yeah, why don't you hop on and see? Easily. I'm glad my foot didn't go through, that would have been a disaster.

This enters the wall here, collects the light from outside, but everything has to go through this hole. This week we will start painting a little downstairs. Hi, friend. I like it as a grayish. The plan today is to put in the light can. You can do it! Camouflaging themselves to put on the can lights. Oh yeah. For people like me. Whoever makes simple mistakes, well, that's ridiculous. It's re-duck-ulus. Is that a head support? Yes Where were you when I put mine in? You know it doesn't matter having those crooked hands now. To be honest, it doesn't matter.

If you think the guys were the only ones working, we'll give you a sneak peek of a future video. Follow me Whoa are those little dragons? Yes. This is a dragon rocket stove that is built on the earthen foundation in the corner of the MusArt studio. We have a separate video documenting this build. We started the acoustic ceiling on the ground floor. Here we have some landscaping fabric that will go under the floor joists. This will help maintain the insulation that we are going to want to place between the joists. Held in place, we lowered a slab from the ceiling.

We don't get a face

of isolation Hello Bryson, where are you? We need you? I'm literally here, really because we need you. Dad already says: I think it's almost over, so we ran to the city. We picked up our tongue and groove for our deck and also made all of our insulation out of jeans material and that kind of stuff. So it has better sound quality. It usually has this grid system and I didn't want to lose any ceiling so we decided to put it right at the bottom of those rafters. Dad found a really interesting way to hold up the acoustic tiles.

I thought it was spectacular. It already sounds like the recording studio. The last piece to be uploaded. Well, the finish is done. And it looks beautiful. We're going to make this whole circle with this insulation because it's right above the soundstage. And it's supposed to have greater sound qualities because it's made from recycled jeans AND I guess recycled cotton and stuff. When you put your hand in here and you're brushing things, it feels like stroking something and all the hairs fall out. Oh! What a beautiful picture, we decided to put on a mask because I think we are moving at breakneck speeds, so all the dust is rising.

Don't you think so, Shae? Yes of course. There is actually a blower for this installation. But we live too far from the city to rent one and we have to get it back. Too much driving So we're doing it by hand, but it's great. We have this. The boys step in to help a little with the isolation. Everyone comes up with their own unique way to break that isolation. This is just our tool that we've been using for sculpting and placing cob - paddle. And then I just scratch it and it becomes much faster than tools or really anything else.

So I think I found the best way to split the insulation You can make half a bag at a time and just put it in there Pinch the top with your hands just hit it on the ground break the whole thing in a couple of hits half a bag at a time We're ready to ruin that one below We are also using screws and we are going to go very close together. We are using a lot of screws. And the floor feels really solid because of that. There is a big difference between putting a floor in a square room where square materials are used and here we are trying to put a square peg in a round hole.

It was something interesting. cuts. We had interesting things happening and yes, it was very fun indeed. Let's dance on this floor. My baby and I This week is time for windows and doors. Okay, good boy, good boy. Yes, this is a bullet. He's my new dog. He is a good little dog. Also interesting is bag construction as you tamp the bags against the frames that you put in place, you have to make sure they are level and then nail them or level them as you go because as you put those bags in place. inside and tamp them down, their frames may move a little.

There is a crack. It is a double panel type. So double pane because we have to remove it. I was just going to say pain. ahhhhh you're a pain Bryson Putting some molding around the windows is easy, nail them in and cut the sides. pew pew We were outside enjoying our cobbing session, singing. As always singing. Normal. Laughing, enjoying each other's company and then Bryson joins us and our wonderful little session turns into a discussion about measurements. You treated her like she didn't know anything, so I'll answer. What's that? Even I know all kinds of measurements because I work in like you know stuff like that and I'm like Huh.

Do you want to go? Do you know what an elbow is? No, but I know what Cupid is. Do you know what a centimeter is? And I said no, Bryson. I don't know what a centimeter is, but in the end I won because he didn't know what a cubit was. Shae, I mean, she didn't know what an elbow was. She wanted to move on to other things because you know. I can master many things, but measurements are not one of them. Okay, move over there a bit, doors are really sensitive things. An inch away and it doesn't close, so it's like they're really hard.

He gets it right, takes a 90 corner and the rest of his lines line up. In double doors it's a little more complicated because you have six feet. We want it to be even on all sides. You know, it looks very good. Our door is finished. It closes and locks. It's done. It feels good to finish it. Last week while we were working outside my friend Esther came over and she was a big help And we were all singing songs Esther, would you mind being in the video? No, I give you my consent to put my beautiful face on the screen.

Let's just say that men of her height are scarce. You may have to "lower" your expectations. Recently, we've all been really into a Netflix

movie

called Shrek the Musical and we've all been singing the songs, quoting the lines. Now he lives in the storm. Bree and I were very happy when Esther watched the show with us. So that now she understands all our jokes and understands our dates. But you have to be that tall to get in. What can I say? It's almost Gru, it's a little weirder. I don't even know what I think. I don't have time for Diesel antics.

In the next three days things are going to get really serious. We haven't done everything we would like to have done. So we've really been going the extra mile. We're going to take out a hopper that we use in my room for cob and we're going to put stucco through it and stucco the walls with it. It is a modified mud hopper or plasterboard. In fact, the technique that worked best to keep the mud on the wall is to use a method where we wet it down to almost a liquid. Bryson ran his thumb over the hole in the hopper.

I guess, and then when he's ready to let out the air, he'll just pull his thumb back, I think a layer or two thicker. That's what I'm saying: he wanted it very wet and dad wanted it very dry. So, like porridge, dad. Try something like this. You're probably right. It spills but I'm sure it's still fine, we were on opposite ends of the field and Bree comes in and says why don't you guys make a middle batch? This is a little thicker, okay? Just to reassure you and dad. Half happy. Okay, go get it. See what happens.

I'm willing to do something new. Leave it in their hands because logic seems like water. Good, huh? Good? Yes, although I still think it should have been wetter. I need windshield wipers. From time to time, my dog ​​would lose sight of me and howl and howl. My dog ​​is so attached to me that I am here. What are you doing, my friend? You have to get better at tracking Dude. I can't go anywhere without him howling at me if I lose him. Don't worry about that. I understand you. Alright, point out the points dad because I know you probably have a thousand of them.

We finish covering the main layer of the building and then I hear Dad and he says: I want to do another batch. Quite tired. You were quite tired. I wasn't very happy with that. But I knew we had to do it because, you know, some points we needed to fix. Mom was watching me while she was cleaning the bottle and how the light was shining in the room was getting a little bit clearer and it was really, it was really cool. Before we start painting, we must clean some of the stucco. Shae found the perfect eye sweeping tool for me.

Sounds productive, right? The guys go out and paint a section of the building and I just don't like the color. Part of winning is experimenting. That meant a very quick trip to the store to buy some green, but we found something. By the time I finished mixing all this paint and getting this new color for Shelly, Bryson was gone. They are problems with the computer. Bree's computer crashed. and that is an important computer for all of us with live broadcasts and with her own work. So Bryson is there doing first aid on his computer. And I have to paint this by myself.

If you used to paint the eaves of a house, it is totally frustrating. And having an air sprayer like on hand, doing the eaves is the best. I feel really bad because Gary is trying to come to terms with the fact that I didn't like the color, but I still don't like it. I'm thinking, well, maybe when Gary takes that plastic off I'll really like it, but it's just not happening. I look outside and I like it. Yeah, I like it, I like it, and then as the day goes by I just don't know what to say.

It has to be right, if you're not going to like the color, you're not going to like it. It's like looking outside. It's a pretty color. I just don't think it fits into our desert scheme because it looks to me like it belongs somewhere on the beach. Aqua blue: There is a lot of blue in that Ocean color. Surfing I start looking for other ways to change the color: fluff, scrape, roll, anything. I'm searching online. When it comes to the exterior, the final decision rests with mom. We're going to choose the dark green and then Bree will put some white on top of it.

I think I'm going to like this a little more. It's kind of toned down a bit, so I really hope I like it too. The border color. It is going to be very fun. I think it looks like chocolate mint ice cream mmm. I like the way you believe. I really like this look, I think it adds. It's kind of an organic creativity of these shapes and textures, and it hides a lot of the lumps and imperfections in these buildings. I like it. I thought you had headphones on. I thought it was safe to say that out loud.

What have you done? It's between my toes. Ewww. That's not comfortable. That was a "wow." It was magical. I think I'm finally very happy with the color. In reality it looks more deserted. Now it has that little texture. Granite, marble type texture, yes, yes. And it hides many of the imperfections. I like that too. If you look at it with your eyes closed it disappears. That's true. That's probably what I should have done sooner and then we wouldn't have had to do the rags. The family heads back inside to work on the stair railing. We decided to strip the bark off the stair posts.

What are you doing? Look away It's not flattering, let me make myself look better here no, just bits of the old block. I have this tool. If we are honest, what is the good tool? You know, Shae, I really have a big advantage with this tool. Oh yeah, optimism Shae, are you shaping? Personally, I don't think Bree should be able to film anymore because all she can do when she comes to film us is one pun after another. You have to get out of here. Now a bark bigger than her bite? You are no longer welcome in the workspace.

Did you get anything? She's peeling off that little piece there.Handrails that I will put here. You can imagine that you have this curve and you have pieces that are really curved, I mean, they are pieces of Mesquite twisted and turned, etc. It's a puzzle to put them together. All together on a railing like this So it was a lot of fun. I think what I'm going to go ahead and do when I put the rails together is just go ahead and overlap them. Then pass a pin through the middle and down the post This is so beautiful Dad This smiling person here is my friend.

She will help us with the work today. Hi, she really volunteered. I have brown chicken pox. It's much easier and more fun to work with a friend because you can sing. All I can say is "you're welcome." I hope to come back over the summer and help them build more, yes, free labor, thanks for her help too of course. He left the door open. What have you done? nothing Nothing at all Are you going to make many of those little ones? Yeah, they're supposed to be designed for kids, so they don't stick their heads out and stuff, so you put them close together.

So I figure if we leave the stickers on, the kids won't even want to touch them. Yes, well thought out. What's that? That's an ocotillo. I didn't even recognize him. There is very good wood down there. So let's go to that white wood. We are ready to go. I use my knife. Yeah, see the top? so that you have a slat so that the distance between the bottom of that hole and the top of this hole is greater. So you can just push it in at the top, slide it in and pull it down, put a nail right there.

So stop. determining how far apart they are I just don't want Diesel to be able to fit the Diesel test. It looks like it's going to work. Yes, good boy. We have this section next to the staircase that goes down and that is on the left side that is unused space. Perfect place to put storage, cabinets and fill it with as many cabinets as we can afford and just for one cabinet it costs a little over $100. Let's see if we can find some used ones. I think this offering seems like a lot of cabinets. We're going to go see them and really, to our surprise.

They didn't come out of a kitchen. No they did not. They were all custom cabinets. Oh, thanks dad, I don't know if we could have handled that big one that I know is very well made and very strong. Maybe even better than I could have put together, no. They were never really good. When Gary and I were going to buy them, we will try to get them for $75, this will save us a lot of work. But when we got there, I looked at Gary. I say: No, don't offer less. It was too embarrassing. There are so many cabinets.

It was already a good deal. And the guy was great too. Yes, he was a wonderful man. They are also very friendly. Fuchsia very well built. I can 3D print dragon heads for them, that would be cool. I made two trips because one of them filled the entire bed in the back. Any time you can close something behind closed doors. The place... I can't see it from my house. You know what I mean. We're just putting a white base coat on it and then we'll go over it and age it. He will look totally different. You're so vain that you probably think this building is about you.

You are so vain. He asks: What is happening? Shae has painted this all white, now it's really cool. She continues to age. What do they say about mom cracks? Well, you can see it now. They are actually getting ahead, we were worried that they weren't going to get ahead and that was one of the things we wanted. It's the coolest color. It has a lot of texture. That is sure. Yes, it totally matches the fun kind of shape and theme we have here. I love this idea. It is a kind of stone that looks like leather or a cave wall.

I love this, dark spots, light spots, it has a nice texture. The cracks give credibility to some kind of brick or something. It is nice. I like this. The guys started installing the cabinets. That was great. We decided to use both, long 53 by 42, put them together and then a taller one measuring 80 inches by 32. We drilled holes and put bolts through the connecting pieces in the because it is a round wall and square cabinets. So wherever they connect, we put a bolt in there now that I have the arrangement. We're just going to go ahead and take the cabinet doors off, so I'm going to sand everything down and we're going to match the stain that we're going to use for the railing.

One coat of Red Oak Gary's idea is to do just one long part. So we just do a long streak. How are you standing there? Are you at the limit? I built scaffolding. Do I dare to look? Yes look. So if I get bored, Gary, stop. Well, I'm wearing safety gear, what? I have shoes. You know, those two you just put up. Oh yes, 3 and 5/8. Take care of your finger. That's when I discovered something we hid from you last time. We don't show it because it's a secret. Now it's no longer a secret. Hey, can I fit in there?

Yes, don't fall to the third floor! Just kidding In those old

movie

s when they open the shutters and start yelling She's so organized in the way she sweeps each step separately Don't judge me I love the way you sweep I'm such a sweeper at least I'm cleaning That's right you're working . You have a very radical personality. We are getting ready to play. My strategically placed cube. If we have empty space under the stairs we can name it after Harry Potter's room. It looks like something from Hogwarts. Again. We are trying to put up the stair railing.

How are you doing, dad? Which is going very well. Oh, Hi Bree with the camera, what's up? A year from now you will wish you had started today. You don't know who said it, no. That is. Secure the handrail right here. This is nice and safe. This is safe and secure down here. Dad and Garen start planning the folding bed. And they started looking, looking, drawing this whole section here. It's going to be here and then we spent a couple of hours figuring out exactly what he wanted to do My son has designed a little stand that will fit our situation and I'm trying to figure out how to build the frame There's plenty of room to stand on both sides of the bed Cob -a-knobbing Ellie is coming to help Let's go out.

I'm going to go ahead and put a can of light down. What are you thinking here? That looks good Hey, dad, do you want to come down here for a moment? It cost you a dollar. Do you have a dollar? I put that mark here right in the center, absolutely perfect. There will be good light down here. Yes, did you find me? good guy The mirrors downstairs were given to us by someone very kind. Thanks Pam, the Jet mirrors will be amazing. How should I place these things? It's not like you would expect. It's actually soft.

We have sunlight, nothing like being seen everywhere. So now we're either okay or turn off the lights and see how much brighter it is, right? Yeah, wow, that's much better. Yes, look, it's even reflected on the wall. Perfect, we're done. This will be for our folding bed. We found someone who had a great design to make the frame in the box. Today we put together the box. It was simple, a couple of pieces. plywood: glued nails or screws. This is the bottom piece or actually the right side piece. It's going to come up on the right side and it should fit right here against the wall and it's going to be difficult to make a round cut with a straight saw on the right side of our folding bed.

We're going to do the same thing we did in my room. Use these floor panels as ceiling panels inside the stairs. That's good. It's like there's a light up there. That's really cool. We found a swivel seat for a boat. It's a six-inch plate with a nice twist. And that is the main mechanism for both sides. He will sit here. It will be comfortable. These pieces are going to need quite a bit of cleaning. Just an L-bracket with a spring offset in the L-bracket and then the seat swivel will also be offset. That way we will have tension when the bed goes down.

So that it doesn't fall. Let's install these two hinges and finish the folding bed. Is your arm there? It's out. I'm fine, should we crush the dogs? We don't need them, right? And the good thing is that if it's bad, we'll just unscrew it and fix it. This will send down. Yes. This can go up. This is Hold it Come up with it, okay, stop. Well, we have to get over this. We have to go through it. Okay, put it down. Let's see what happens. He counterbalances it very well, he does. Alright. Well. Do I have a spring?

Let me tell you, how do you feel, Bry? Get two of those bad boys. It was fun. A lot of thought went into it. I like it. It turned out to be much simpler, which was really nice. Yes, I will be able to do it. We have functionality in all the mechanical parts of this built thing. The springs are in place, the hinges are in place. It's going to work very well. Hey, it's okay. Oh yes, that's very easy. The material for the roof arrives. We have a canvas here for the roof. Oh well, not exactly canvas, 100 yards of burlap.

We love the look of the reciprocating roof. It has this cute little design. It's a shame to think we'd have to cover it up, so we started thinking about how we could do it? We could put things in the middle. Even so we can see the design. We're going to staple this between the boards so the boards are still showing and then we'll have little sections of burlap with the insulation underneath it. We hope it works. We won't do anything more than the little top part here. That's my job while Mom and Bryson have been putting up the burlap and insulation.

I have to get ahead of them because we wanted them to stain us. before we put it there. Tape it with a rag, Shae, so it doesn't drip. We will have a finish line to work toward. If we set the goal of finishing the MusArt studio. It would be so overwhelming it would be miserable, yeah, so we set it up. small goals, which is what we did on the roof and I think I got a little too ambitious this Tuesday and Wednesday, and so on until we reach the top today Wednesday, which we are supposed to be on this layer and We are still on Tuesday.

We need to catch up. I think the kids thought I was a little ridiculous this time when I said the lines were over for Tuesday. Now we're sitting on Thursday and I don't know. It's still fun to have goals and try to achieve them, but if we lose them, like in this case. There's a good chance we won't make it this one. From time to time your goals get a little ambitious. And if they are even slightly ambitious, we are usually the children. Oh no, mom. No, this is where our goal is. But if we are extremely ambitious, we are fine.

Come here, I'd like to brush your hair. Hmm. This is one time I'm going to deny your request, just bow down, right? And finally mom says: This was a giant goal! The fun thing about these projects is that I really enjoy the time we spend together as a family and we spend an hour of our day working together, side by side, on this project. We really couldn't all be together. We go out together as a family because we only have one staple gun. We bought this airsoft gun for work and oh boy is it worth it.

This is a good investment. We took turns working in pairs or three of us went out at different times. It is one of the best ways to build relationships with each other, whether with family or even friends. I think when you have to work with someone it's even more of a test. to that friendship or relationship. How do you stay up there? Look at this magic. Place the cotton candy from hell. You also have to build off of each other a lot in a workspace. You can't endanger someone when you're working. You have to know where everyone is and you have to do it. communicate Those frustrating moments that you have to resolve.

A lot of compromise when it comes to ideas, a lot of middle ground. Alright. Let's make a compromise here. Would that be a way to learn Bryson? She has been 3D printing these little dragon heads. We're going to use them like this... Well, like this in the music studio. Cabinet door handles. So we ordered black plastic online to replace the pink knobs that are now on the cabinets. Hi, friend. So we started printing on Garen's printer because my printer was broken at that time. It's finished like a frog. It just needs all the supporting material removed.

It's cute, is not it? It is very cute. My God. It's just silky, beautiful To supposedly keep our hands safe But I don't want to break this or ruin it. He grabs a drill bit and was showing Shae how to drill the holes in the back of them. Oh my God, I'm going. get the old knobs Let me get a screw here and see if I can get it I'm not in my pajamas What? Ahahaha Not easy Maybe if I held it on this side We used the same method as the other knobs where the screw just screws into the back First ones done.

Look at that from his ears. However, it sure is a process. Looking good Shae. So our original number is 12. But we may end up printing more depending on how many cabinets. We can put some bigger ones for the folding bed to store all my fabrics in here. Keep my team here. Oh yeah, wow, you're booking this. We ran out. We'll have to finish this later. You know, one of the things that is always present in every project is how do we get enough time to do all the things we have to do. And sometimes I travel for work, so I have to be out of town.city ​​for three, four, sometimes five days.

You know, it's frustrating knowing that everyone is here in the house working so hard like they're working on the roof. I really wish I could be with them too and be there. When I'm away, it's really comforting to know that Bryson and Garen are here, a supportive part of the family, and I know that both kids really step up when Dad's away. And I just say, okay, okay. I feel better inside. These are the axles for the header that dry out a little. It's great to come back and be able to play here, create and have a lot of fun.

That for me. It's one of the most interesting things about what we're doing here. I really like the stain that dad is putting. Oh, I didn't even see the railing. That looks so cool. We are heading towards the goal of completing the

underground

music studio. With several finishing touches still to be completed, the family heads downstairs to see what's next. Ooh, it's very dark in here. The space between the ceiling and the wall still needs to be filled, okay this looks really ridiculous. But we did this in Bryson's room, it goes between the ceiling and the wall, we'll cut it out and paint it purple and it will look halfway decent.

I use this spray foam. I am not responsible for my falling problems. You want a different color. This is where dad supposedly failed. Yes, he said he failed all the time, but in reality he only took one small step. Should he cut it? Exactly how did he fall? You should put a band-aid on it and have him sign it. Do you have a tape measure? No, it's upstairs. He saves them in "Lost". Maybe he put it in the house with so many of us working. We are always misplacing the tape measure. Where's your sense of adventure, Bryson?

God, that's not fun. We only have a limited amount of these, please be a little careful. Can I cut it? Yes, please do it. Actually mom, I think we were both right. Alright. Make us proud. Let's try to trim this so it looks like part of the wall. It just looks like it's part of that stucco wall And then Shae will come back and paint it a purple color And then she'll blend in a little better. I slipped and tripped and did that. It is not beautiful? Yes, it's like my signature. Yeah, I don't have light down here.

Labor? Yes, I wired the fan to work with a regular plug, mainly because we just wanted to test them and needed to get some airflow in there and they are working great. Oh yes, I can feel it. The temperature is already changing here. Bryson and I were on the building's electrical. We start with all the plugs. We connect them. We put it out pretty quickly. Where is the tape measure? I need the tape measure. Getting the height of the light is part of the challenge. They're all a little different. What are you wearing? Army pants, flip flops and...

Isn't it a little uncomfortable to have that on your toe? Very comfortable. Why are you filming me? What are you doing? Placing lights The can lights were already on, right? The can lights were already on, we just put the lids on, we have light bulbs. This is the unboxing and drop test, oh sweet, oh I'm so much faster than you. What is this Bryson? Why are you ruining me? I'm not ruining you. You said you can do it faster. Seriously Yes, I'm serious. Are you serious? Yes I say it seriously. Screw in a light bulb, Bry.

Okay, I'm going to plug it in. Okay, let's see if this works. The proof in the end was that everything worked. Which was Look, that's great. It means we did it right. It looks so cool. Let's go downstairs, Bree, and check it out. Where is the switch? We'll see. That's the fan. It really lights up this room quite well. Yeah, looks fantastic guys, wonderful job. I got home from work today and I'm so excited that the guys went ahead and hooked up all the electricity. Everything is working very well, so I'm very excited. They did a great job.

The last thing needed for this construction project is the floors, you too, sir. Our burlap arrived, so we'll be able to finish that and look here too, our flooring material. So we are ready to start. Oh! Shae what are you doing? I'm cleaning up the steps so we can fill in the holes and chisel out the weird little things. Yes, I have this one. This is Marvin. He is back. What are you doing today? Trying to put down a rug, Marvin graciously donated a rug, we took it right from his house, so now they have no rug in that room.

He said he could spare her for a few months. It is not a big thing. I like it perfect. You can see it well. Looks good until the end, picks up some stragglers. It's so quiet here. I'm going to take out the iron, a little piece almost covers everything, yes. I'm trying out the new sick rug. So I can mess it up if we make a mistake. Yes, I like the red tint. I think I like it a lot too. Much approval mom. Do you want me to sweep it for you and then come back and paint it?

Yes, I would like to point out that Mom started painting at the top of the step, which is clearly a wise decision. When there is no other way out, I will only do half down and half up. You just understood this. Obviously, I don't have any new leaves in our tools. Gary has the idea of ​​putting a foam floor upstairs. Should we see how it looks? He didn't want a big gray flat up there. I like the idea of ​​foam. To our surprise, we discovered that they foamed in three-quarter-inch plank patterns. And the only place we're going to use a ruler is in front. the door Yes, everything else is cut.

Bring it. Let's begin Once we have this first layer, we can all continue, so on eBay we find our best price. And they had a marble pattern. I would prefer that, but for some reason, it was a much higher price, so we just went. With the lightest flooring we could find, I think we want to glue it around the edges. I don't believe it. We can always do it if we need to. Shelly, you should come up. Yes, go up and see. You will like. Oh I love it. Wow, they are big. I don't know why I realized that they are so big that it is fun to have them under your feet, although there is a top layer of hard plastic on top, it is not like foam.

This floor will clean up really well when it's put in. I thought it would look really cheesy but I thought at least it would be a pattern, easy to clean and it has foam and isn't gray. Can we get a drill too and we'll open up our gadget and see where we need to cut? I'm going to build a square border, dad, right? inside here Should I just start laying down? Yeah, I'll take the ends off and put them in there. I think of all the work we've done on this building so far, this is my favorite.

Maybe you can play like I don't know Awwww What? I cut this one wrong. The grains of the wood run in the opposite direction. Alright. It will be because yes, we won't realize it. Crazy, man, I'm having a heart attack. It's singing out of tune. Do you know what's great about someone singing out of tune? that? It makes you realize how good people are who sing in tune, yes, it also makes you regret that a person is in the choir. This is incredible. I love it. To my surprise, it actually looks very good. It has a vinyl top.

So you can clean it, it's necessary and that's the good thing: you can walk on it. You clean it. It sweeps well. It's not very expensive, and I think if one breaks, you just replace it with another one. I don't know how you know how long it will last and how well it will hold up, but I guess we'll see. It's a tr, that's what it's all about Dude, this is great, there's not much left. We have to trim around those. Do you like the new apartment? Hey? notice these and those. I've been cutting some metal here, getting ready to create the brackets that will hold up the folding bed that's just being made, now it's going to be cleaned up and then the bracket will go from here and then we'll attach them together. and put them on Don't fall into the hole What hole?

Awwww, that hole unwrapping it? Yeah. Hey, it fits. This is comfortable. Do you notice that the cross bars are made of wood? Yes, dad likes it much more than metal. Oh, no, yes, dad is going to be very angry with himself. Push Ut oh Ut, ut oh. Dad went boo-boo. Can you fix it Bry? We won't even tell him. We just finished our MusArt studio. Let's take a look Welcome to my studio MusArt Riighht Shae, would you like to show your corner? Technically, this is my workspace and that's my workspace, but we like to say it's everyone's workspace.

But this one is specifically designated for moi. Are you sure that's not the dating communication station? BHQ bride and groom headquarters is here. This is the rocket stove here. that Shae and Dad designed and put together and this baby will keep us warm through the winter. We have a vent. Now we can vent to people. Just because!!! You said I could vent, right? You don't even need my therapist anymore. This is our folding bed. Our cousin Ashton was actually the first to sleep in the folding bed. You love it, don't you? Sleep well, okay? Let's rock downstairs, to the studio part of the studio.

You'll probably notice the difference in sound from the top to here. So we're still putting up furniture and now we'll do the narration. The MusArt studio. We start with the low tones. Can't you get enough of my buttery voice? Wait wait wait. Here we go. What are you doing? I'm just showing how beautiful they look in this light. I can't always count on that light. Is there anything else? Watch this. This is our most beautiful editor in the world. Our most beautiful mom. Give me the camera, please. Thank you. It was a delight. Where is the big screen TV and refrigerator?

This is not a man cave. Oh, that's what it is. A caveman. He has that old, artsy feel to him. I love the curtains and the colored bottles. I like it here, I really do and just the skylight at the top has a beautiful look, although it still has that modern feel. It's creative and fun. The purpose of this building is to have a place where we can think creatively and a place to work. You really don't realize how big this building is. It's bigger inside. I didn't make any reference to Dr. Who. What right? So let's go out.

It reflects light and reflects it inside at the foot of the stairs. Oh, and here's some cob in our window. We installed a patio here. It's actually an entrance ramp. So that wraps it up for this building. Put it on repeat. Put it on repeat. You can wash all your dishes. Thank you very much for being here.
