Property values don't always increase steadily. They can be affected by various factors like the economy, interest rates, and local demand. In some areas, property values can remain stagnant or even decrease for extended periods.

Pro Tip, use concrete color in your chalk box. It will stain the concrete and not wash away. That way you don't have to seal your chalk lines.

I helped on several builds that from start to finish was 2 days. We had over 100 volunteers lead by licensed men for each trade working around the clock. It's hard to believe unless you actually experienced it- it was awesome!

I love woodworking, if I lived in the states this is what I would be doing day in and day out till I retire. Job well done guys.

By the end of this video, I was picking a few splinters from my hands, breathing a little heavy, and ready to kick the work boots off and take a cool shower.

In all seriousness, I love these vids. And I was excited to hear that you’re going to do a detailed build video in the near-future, with feedback of options from viewers. Not enough schools (or communities) teach kids the art of carpentry/construction.

I was born in 1981, so Sears catalog-ordered homes were well-beyond my time, but if we had large kit homes again, and the means to watch vids like this and build them ourselves, that would be awesome.

I started watching it at lunch and then noticed the duration. I’ll have to watch this one later.

Retired general contractor here. I hope you guys take on apprentices because our country needs more carpenters of your caliber. Keep up the good work. God bless.

WoW really impressed back in the day as you mentioned we used 12 penny nails and hammered every nail.
We hated starting the job we hammered cut nail all around the foundation that sucked big time. We triple plated for all the walls and after we built walls we had 1x6s nailed to the walls and blocks tacked to the deck so when we stood the walls the 1xs would swing down and we plumed them right up to the blocks and we built the gables and put the pins in right on the roof then set all the in between nailed them all in and we nailed the hurricane plates on every one we hated that. Then we put up all the sheathing. We built custom Holmes in Medford, N. J. Old school to the max but we loved every minute of it. So satisfying going from a slab of concrete to a full house. Even more satisfying when we put up the sheet rock that’s when we got to see the rooms. Thanks for makin this vid. I really enjoyed watching it took me back a long time. Gr8 memories

Ps. If we got caught hitting the 12penny more than 2 times when building the walls we got yelled at. Hitting the 12penny in one shot was always the goal.

Aww I love Larry Hann Old Videos. Have 4 of his books. Him and his brother were awsome. Got me interested in building. Love watching you guys frame, great job.

Impressive effort capturing the house-building process. Fascinated by the speed of construction, it's intriguing how efficiency shapes modern architecture.
