in the last episode the guys installed
beams and Shae decided on the placement
of jars and oddly shaped windows for her
earthbag bedroom
[music]
dad is working on one
of the brackets that are going to be
needed for one of the beams
all right dad so what you doing?
hey over
here
I have a pieces for my bracket
that's gonna hold up one side of the
beams on the post
it's also going to
give some security to the post itself
if you want to come around to this other side
the beam will set right in here
easy peasy
[music]
hey you
what's going on?
hola
I'm stealing paint
you don't have to steal paint
paint is free in this shop
come and get
what you need
[music]
you finished your masterpiece Dad?
yeah finished enough
the great reveal
looks like this
right
post sets a little bit of an angle so we
adjust the bracket to fit that
[music]
well, it's got some issues
what's that for?
for the beam going across here
for the roof
oooooohhhhh
hey mom you've got caterpillars splitzed
somebody got a little
enthusiastic
I did
Shae got a little too crazy
I saw and I fought
mom has the guts
of glory
warriors always get a single
prize for their fights and that was mine
and I'm gifting it to you
lovely
every
year we get a new bug
we never know what
what's going to come
we just know that we
don't ever touch them
but unfortunately
this one has touched us
it's so tiny
it's a caterpillar and you can
you see him kind of moving there
it
looks like a speck
yeah he's just looks
so innocent
you just want to pet him
I
have battle wounds
this thing goes
bright red and then it's white and then it
swells
is completely peppered in
blisters
vicious vicious caterpillars
Oh
No he's brought a buddy
two evil catties
one two three
I killed 26 of them
looking around on the ground and
killing him and I saw a bunch on a
trailer too but I couldn't reach it with
the pole
it's been a month and the
caterpillars
have taken over the entire
courtyard
hmm
it's not safe up there
anymore
I'm running out of provisions
I think the best course of action
is to
try and blend in
I think they know it's me
they're
falling from the trees
oh gosh
their beautiful furry flesh burns
there's no escape
Shae & I were back there looking for some bottles and
we found some of these glass block
Shadow is going to be happy because he has
been on us to get these blocks
and so we're gonna be able to put these in
what I don't
like about having a glass in the wall is
because you can usually see the white
bag and it's all mushy and it looks
weird on the edges so that's why I
painted my jars
what I'm gonna do with
these and I'm gonna paint along the
sides right where you would see that
it'll still be clear but then they'll be
purple on the edges
Crazy dogs
[music]
this is what happens every time we go to
record
they go crazy
it's like they want
to take all the attention
from the camera
you are the instigator
the light still comes through it
if you stick your head in there
it's still
lit
mom's experimenting
you see a little pinpoint
you don't see it over here
oh yeah I see a pinpoint
you guys look ridiculous
thank you
I'm always in your corner
we'll wait till it dries and
then we'll take off that tape and then
they'll see how it's turned out
are you
admiring my beautiful handiwork
yes, I am
I was admiring it
this is the leftover dirt from the studio
we finally used up all the dirt that we dug
out from that three foot hole in Shae's
room
that's pretty much how far it's
lasted
we're now going over to our
backup dirt which is from our MusArt Studio
the leftover from that
hopefully, this will make it
if it doesn't
there's dirt everywhere
that's a poop beetle
dung beetle
[music]
dung beetles
[music]
I got your back Diesel
[music]
that was my impression of Despicable Me
it was the cloudy day in the middle of nowhere
I practice minions
I think that you'd
make a better Gru and maybe I
would make a better minion
cloudy day in the middle of nowhere
no
I don't do voices
he's like yaaaaaahhhhh
it feels nice
more dirt
you have not brushed your teeth
yes, I have
[music]
good boy
waaaahhhhhh
oh
we have to stop
we have a surprise nugget that's going into
this building and it'll be right here
dad's gonna make a frame for it
guess in the comments what you think
we're putting right here
at this point
in the building
we have so many things
going in
it's so hard to keep track of
it and it's slowing us down really bad
because doing prep work after prep work
and we're not
can't just get in and bag
which
makes this part really
slow and crazy
I'm getting the window
boxes level and plumb
you're getting
them plumb level
now that the bags are
built up high enough
the window frames
can be plumbed and leveled and nailed in
[music]
after the window frame is nailed in
that
whole wall gets tied together
really nicely
you notice a big
difference after the window frame is
put in
headers over the windows are
made up of three two by tens nailed
together and then two cleats on either
side
the nails hold the header into the
bag
when the header sets on top it
again ties that whole wall together
really nicely so when those last few
layers go on it'll just keep getting
stronger
the stairs are made the same
way that cleats are
where we put
nails through one side of the board and
then flip it over and put nails through
it again
then the bags sandwich it so it
doesn't move around at all
there's only one or two more steps going
in because it goes up to the patio
there so there's a roof which is
low because that building is
sunk into the ground
[music]
we sat and discussed this for
what was it?
15 minutes
trying to figure out
there needs to be a something that
goes over the top of this so we were
really sure on that so we ended it a foot
early and this one same dilemma so we
didn't touch that one
there's still a
box that needs to be built for this
this one there
it's not ready to go over the
tire yet
we need cement to go over the
top of this one
oh and then there's a
light switch over there that still needs
to go in
a lot of stuff going in right
now
we're not sure what we can and can't
bag
are you okay?
I found a stick bug and he's so cute
look at him
I feel like maybe
we should put him on the tree or
something
he's kind of panicky
I would be panicky too
Hey dude, come here
there we go
he's going up
on a Tuesday
we're branching out to new
things
you just got to cut those out of
your life
I can stand
I can finally stand you
that was just as bad as mine
are you ready?
are you ready?
thank you Bree
thank
you
I'll kiss it for good luck
grossest thing I have ever done
that's what I'm talking about
that's true grit
she picked the day
to completely abandon us
I love you Mother
She abandoned us
we are heading out to pick up some plywood we found on Craigslist
three quarter inch
I got it so dang right
here, this fell out of your
head
oh that fell out of my head again
oh wait no
it's mine
all right let's get this over with
you got to get his rolling shot
he won't be
able to sleep tonight
woah
she did a good job these
yeah, she did a really good job
these babies can go in here
but you want to frame around the whole
thing because Dad could make a frame
around the whole thing if you prefer
I was thinking about having that
like a mini window
let's do it
keep them all
the same
okay
let's pull that
out and ask dad
it would be perfect
water for you guys
we need some way to glue that in
it can't be
what are you thinking?
butyl kind of stuff
set it in and butyl around
both sides it should do good or not?
I need a little gap so we can squirt
enough butyl in there that it actually
seals
okay
[music]
alright dad
like switch?
light switch for this yeah
Egor pull the switch
we need to plug this in first
it doesn't work without air pressure
very loud
a couple little sticky poos in here
sticky poos?
you're not suppose to nail it to that
that's funny Dad
yes, this is hilarious
I nailed it right into there
that's amazing what those nailers do you
know
good enough
stick a bag on that huh?
okay now
we put a couple upward
hammer them in right
very hard wood
and now we have one secure box
I love how you say secure and then you
move it
it's really secure
see how secure that is
very secure box
right here
with the bag over the top of it it will be secure
you will have some sort of lighting whatever it is
somewhere yeah okay
then a light in here
okay
that'll
give you some light in this area
a little light down there
and a light outside
[music]
is that it?
yeah, and then this will fit in here
two diamonds and a square
we'll save these and put them in later
does it look good?
yeah it really does
it's gonna put some light in here too
it's gonna be
real nice down here
you building a box Bryson?
yep
watch me work
[music]
that look good?
it looks like a Kawaii wall
it's even got a smiley face
eyes
nose
it's a happy room
it is a happy room
smiling at the world
it doesn't need to be happy, it just needs to be better than Bree's room
the way I see it is
if your walls are straight
you automatically make yours better than
mine
mine is very homey because of its
very organic shape
homey, homely, tomato, tomahto
the fact is, is that it's better in every way
Bryson's showing me his new 3d model
they're out there working so we gotta hurry up
but that's his next video project
a lathe chuck
chuck
i love how you say
like i know what that is
it's four jaw pieces that go on it like this
yeah
and then you turn these
and those jaws move in and out
they're like teeth
and then we'll be able to tighten
it down and then we can spin it and
lathe it
very cool
can't wait to see it
all right dude we got to go
back to the action
[music]
we built this little box right here and
we have a mystery item that's gonna be
going inside of it
dun dun duuunnnnn
you see the height of the walls Mom
yeah
the top of it's here
this is the level that the
rafters set on so then we will fill the
block
the bird blocking
okay
originally I put the bracket
together and set it up in there
and it didn't really fit quite well
right there like that
there's nothing
for this a nail to
you're gonna cut this off flat?
you really need to plate this
if wanted to do that
originally when we put
the post up we knew that it looked a
little on the weak side
I have two ideas
one
I'm gonna use all the
mesquite pole to actually hold up the main
post or and I'm gonna use some type of
pipe and fixture
from here
yeah
another Mesquite pole of some kind
snap it
it's the bracket
he fixed it
gonna hang it up to dry?
yeah
the bracket is drying so when
it's dry we can put it on
tomorrow after the...
podcast?
yeah
podcast every Wednesday 6 p.m. Eastern

we do cool things

A plus
you're not a square
you do
these corny puns and then you make fun
of me when I do one?
that is wrong
it's mutual
you got to make fun of each
other for puns
oh is that the case
yeah
you just have to acknowledge that they
were bad
I don't know many puns that aren't bad
okay
fair enough
I can roll with that
behold
the evil caterpillar
lurking
just lurking

We moved from the city to the country in 2005. Since then, we have been building structures, raising livestock and growing some of our own foods. We are crazy about family, nutrition and want the best for our growing family.
