Doing What It Takes | DITL |Couple Builds Dream Cabin Homestead In The Woods

Stranger, yeah, it was really cold when I took the kids to the bus stop this morning, literally like 31 degrees or something at the top of the basement and then I took my measurements and there's a little Frosty up there, oh yeah, I will slip on the slide. It was a bit like shit, okay, we have a big problem loaded with a lot of garbage and unpleasant materials that we are no longer going to use and the same thing happens to us on the platform since when we cleaned the camp, we have to get out of here.

We're going to need this platform to transport materials here in a moment. We have this stuff left over from a country road. Cures. The store took a dive. Guys, you don't know who the Country Road cure is, meaning my brother, my sister-in-law, and her family. You've probably seen her shed in the background of some of our videos. I'm going to put a plug of Shameless right there. go see the Country Road cure, they're the other half of 41.36, so anyway we have to clean up some of this stuff since we're going into town anyway, um, Anthony and Rox are

doing

some other things that we just told them, hey, we.

We'll take care of it, we help each other all the time, so we're going to go ahead and start collecting all these um and yeah, the surveys and

what

ever is left that we're not using, there's something that we're going to keep. yeah, there won't be much better time than you just want our subscribers to send this, yeah, thank you so much for that, how did you know we were going to need moorings to get back to Biggie again? It's been a while, I don't regret the gas and Biggie again, that will cost about 200 dollars. I still love Biggie.

No, I'm not complaining about you, old lady, you still have a lot of fights with you, oh yeah, no complaints here, it'll give me a good time, once we get that garage. built you know I'll be able to turn yeah you'll just get a makeover she also did my research uh to figure out how many boards we need. I got there, I was slipping and sliding everywhere, but I found out that I need 190 2x4 studs left, that's fine to finish framing the interior walls, and that gives us an extra 30, which is about 20 percent more than which we really need and I always try to order about 20 more, so technically 20 is like 32 or something. but I'm going to be 30.

Okay, so I hope I don't end up being too shy. Well, we can always use the extra for different buildings we have for the kids. You know, Playhouse and stuff like that, but also if we make a wrong cut or

what

ever it gives us that extra, that's why I like to get 20 extra, yeah, that's not too many extra, no, I mean, it's 30 extra boards, which is a lot, but at the same time, when you buy 160 schematics of things, 30 extra isn't a lot, yeah, and come to that I looked at Home Depot and the regular two-by-four studs are about $350,356, whatever , yes, the prices have dropped a lot, yes, but if I order 100 or more it comes down to three dollars a cent, oh, that saves quite a bit.

I mean when we ordered those two by fours, I think it was about 6 30. Yeah, it was 80 or something, I don't remember. exactly, they were super expensive because the wood was still at its peak, yes, but we needed it, so we didn't make two by six, we need another 43 of them, okay, and that gives us another 20 extra, which is about 10. in total what we need is about 66. and we need the two by sixes to be able to do the double top plate right and then when we do the top plate and so on, after it's all screwed together, then we will do the top plate and that he's going to square everything up and level it and plumb it and all that and then once we get around it again and we have roof beams, those were going to pack it up now by lunch time, okay, come back and we're going to screw all those in Hurricane tying them all with screws so that everything is screwed together in the end sounds like a different plan than but uh yeah, that's to be expected, sure, I mean, it's pretty much the same, it's a dump, yeah, yeah, thanks, okay, we're okay, you sweated a little, yeah, okay, we have one more stop here and then we have to go to the scale and paint, okay, we're getting close to the moment of Truth, how much do you think it's going to take us How much does it cost to leave the truck and a trailer full of all that garbage?

A comment in the comments section. The answer will be revealed in a moment. 48 dollars. Think $48. I'm thinking $48. Insider information, not insider trading. Now I've been here a

couple

of times and the last few times I was here it was like $38, $32 and I don't think I've ever done it. I went to the dump, yeah, yeah, I know we've always gone to trash cans, so yeah, we'll see, we'll see how much weight I'm going to put over you and I'll say it's 52 dollars, okay? way to up the ante, you know, four dollars, I'll do it 51, so that way, three dollars, okay, whoever is closest will be the winner, whoever is closest we will see, we will find out, we will find out, we will find out 41.36 41.

Wouldn't that be kind of funny? 41.36 trash will cost you $41.36 and the winner for guessing how much it will cost to take out the trash 41.36 Showdown Challenge is drum roll please, well I was. it swerved quite a bit and so do you, but it was a lot cheaper than we expected, but the game was who got closest, yeah, and that would be the character, so 30 37, it seems to be cheaper to leave it in the landfill. that in the dumpster area per se, which makes sense, makes sense, but that also means that if we want to do it cheaper, we should wait and we'll have a big giant load of trash instead of just taking the truck. full bed because if we only have the truck bed, they will make us go to the dumpsters, where this time we came with the truck bed and the trailer and I said, "Go take it to the landfill, so yeah, it makes sense." . at the same time it is as if we left less things.

I don't want to go down that path. We load more. More things inside. Yes, anyway. Alright. You have your list. You have my list. Let's go to the windows and doors first. Pikachu because yeah, we know what we know, we know what we need, we can window shop a little early, okay, so I guess we could estimate that all of our doors are going to cost like five hundred dollars around that stadium, yeah, yeah, well. that's for the exterior door, yeah, so we're not actually buying the doors and windows today; we will have them soon, but we need to make sure we watch our budget and allocate what is a need now and then.

We'll have to spend a lot on the roof beams, yes, and the zipper system for the roof, so we're trying to extend it. It is a slow process, but at the same time it is a constant movement, yes, a man in constant movement, an exciting movement. I want to thank you all for subscribing and helping the

dream

stay alive. Yes, you guys, watching our videos, subscribing to our channel helps this move forward. Hell yes, thank you, thank you, thank you. Right now, we're just trying to make it. We have our heads right, so we know what we're going to need for the budget and we know what we have in stock and available because the last time we were here, when we were looking, it was cement doors and windows that were thin.

Gathering up yeah there was nothing at the moment it's like it's finally finally coming back and everything we're getting out of stock is going up it's good so this is a good sign it's a good time for us to start gathering all our lists and, uh, planning and everything. so, but that's a lot of what today is that we're going to get a lot more two-by-fours and two-by-sixes and we're going to continue this Framing project and keep it going thank you, thank you, thank you, medium 56 . 60 thank you foreigner foreigner thank you very good we have 192x4 studs 43 2x6 some screws a little over a thousand dollars later we are ready to start hello hello let's do it foreigner well guys we have all our lumber at home here on the property the building is still standing waiting for us to come back to it, yeah, it's still there, yeah, so we're going to have to unload all this stuff and now we'll be ready to get on with building the interior walls of our

cabin

, yeah, so that goes.

To be quite simple, we literally only have one, two, two walls to finish on this side of the building and then we have three more walls on that side and one directly in the middle, which is going to be a pain, yeah, yeah, so it should. be ready tomorrow at noon exactly, um, actually it should happen much faster. The two by fours that we have are real studs, yes, so I don't have to make all those cuts and everything, correct them, for you who don't. I don't know what I'm talking about, the actual length of the stud is 92 and 5 8.

Okay, so what makes it a stud is that when you add the top plate and the bottom plate it equals exactly eight feet, yeah, so that's where you can actually get the studs now, they had some confusing stuff at the Home Depot right there and they say, oh, these are studs right here. I say no, those are two by four by eight, yes, which is different, they are classified as studs. Technically I like it, yes they are rated for studs, but technically they are not studs because a stud would be exactly where you don't have to cut anything, so the last time we bought wood it was a lot more expensive. and buying the actual posts where they are already pre-measured and cut for you to do what we need to do was much more expensive, which is why we chose just the regular wood, to try to save as much as we can. like you know where we can exactly, but we're working in this economy like everyone else and one day at a time, one piece, one stick at a time, we'll get there, we'll get there right, we needed a

couple

more two-by-sixes, unfortunately not I was able to put the two by six on studs, yeah, two by six by eight, yeah, that means we're going to have to cut a little bit to make it 92 and 5 8.

Yeah, so. It is what it is, it's all good, it's all good, we're saving all that for another day, we just got home, honestly, we're tired of all that loading and unloading and going from here to there, we're beat, um . Let's Save the download of this for another day, it can stay here in the trailer for now, but very, very soon, my friends, we will work on it again, so I hope you will stay there, oh, it will be exciting. I'm really really uh like the whole time we were sitting here like fidgeting here in the pants like let's do it, let's do it, let's do it, let's do it, let's do it and I'm glad that we've been, you know, slowing down. and taking things slow and we can actually simplify it and get it to where it's done correctly and we don't have to go back and keep bothering you.

I know you guys enjoy the process as we do it right, so anyway guys, let's go running, but I want to thank you so much for watching our video today and hanging out with us as we went here, ran there, and got all the stuff. done because you know it's not done alone, so we have to do a lot of the prep work so that everything goes well, yes, thank you everyone, thank you for being here with us, yes, but we're going to go out. from here thanks again for watching and see you next time guys, we love you all, we hope you have a good time and we'll see you next time, bye guys later.
