We Added a Few NEW Window Forms?

let's get started welcome back to the tiny shiny magical Homestead o where we will be taking 100 2x4s and nine sheets of plywood and turning it into 13 window forms adeli and I went all the way to tuon and loaded up the truck with 100 2x4s nine sheets of/ in plywood and uh made it back safely so that's really all that matters but we are going to be turning all of this into the remainder of our window forms almost almost with the exception of several two windows so yeah why do we have so many windows in our house I kind of wonder how many windows in a normal house because we have 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 22 Windows sounds like a lot it does kind of but then if you look at all the like wall surface area we have I don't know well and also so it's not all windows which we'll explain later spoiler today's video is sponsored by jackary once again that's right we're using the 5,000 plus cuz we have a whole lot of wood to cut while we're working on our projects I'm going to take a minute and give you some nerdy details about the jackary 5000 plus solar generator the 5000 plus is focused on whole home reliable high-capacity backup power for emergencies and eco-friendly living each unit has 5 kwatt hours of lithium iron phosphate storage expandable all the way up to 30 kwatt hours you can run it at 120 volts or 240 volts and it surges up to 7200 watts and also join two units together to get up to 60 Kow hours of storage and 14,400 WS of surge power holy moly it's 16 1/2 in wide 15 1/2 in deep and 25 in high and 132 lb which means the wheels and handle are very much appreciated of course you can use the jackary app to set up and control it has a 5-year warranty upgradeable to a 7-year warranty on the output side you've got 4 20 amp 2400 W AC plugs two USBC 100 W plugs two usba 18 W plugs a 12vt 10 amp cigarette lighter adapter two 30 amp ports a Nema l1430r and a 1450 both of which can surge up to 7200 WTS and an AC expansion port for the transfer switch on the input side it has mc4 connectors for a high voltage solar array so you can build your own array plug it right in or you can use something like that solar Saga 500 x to the low full Voltage PV and just plug it right in there's of course an AC input if you just want to plug it up so you can charge it that way and a DC expansion port for adding additional battery packs they plug into each other with special cables that are even labeled so you can't plug them in the wrong way and of course the BMS and all the protections are already built into these battery packs so you really don't have to worry about it the solar Saga 500x they are bifacial panels they fold up accordion style so you can store them easily they're rated for the outdoors and you can even chain them together to make bigger arrays if you want to and finally that smart transfer switch this is brand new it's a really cool piece of technology so this is a big transfer switch right um it's got this huge cable it's going to go from here straight into the jackary 5000 plus and then what you'll do is you will put in your own Breakers here and those will mirror Breakers in your main panel box so basically you get to decide if the power goes out which specific outlets and lights and fans that you want to keep running during an emergency which is pretty cool and then with the app you can actually go in and choose if you want these to be 120 or 240 you can join two of them together you can change the names of them you can even see how much power each individual circuit is using a setup like this could also work on an off-grid system that power ever goes out we could put in this transfer switch and a jackary 5000 plus with some additional battery Banks so that if that power does go out or it needs to be worked on it transfers over and it uses this right now jackary has several good deals going on free gifts worth up to $116.99 and early bird offers use the code below at the ca store for 5% off orders over $1,200 or just swing by their site do some research and see if the new solar generator 5000 plus is a good fit for you all links and info are in the description this thing's going to pound through it that's not that's not a good let me try that again this thing's going to go through that wood no problem chew through it this thing's going to chew through that wood no problem chop through that wood no problem the jackary doesn't chop through anything this thing is going to power our new miter saw and get through this super fast oh my gosh okay so I could easily just knock these out really quick by myself but then the kids aren't learning right so we're set it up explained all the safety protocols for Jet and um he's going going to do half of these and then Adel can do some the key this year is getting the kids to use more power tools because we can't do it by ourselves and it's fun for the kids to learn I know firsthand how annoying it is to be the go get this go get that so they're going to be in charge of a lot more this year more power ready somebody's making me be responsible don't be mad at me I'm a little man I just think we should build one of these before we cut all our 100 pieces of wood so what you're saying is you don't trust my measurements oh I know you've cut them to the size you want to cut them to I'm just I just want to make sure that it's going to build the size frame that we want so what you're saying is you don't trust my measurement I just want to double check before we cut off that's what he think all right we going to measure it making me measure tell me that I'm right this should be 1 in short 31 31 plus half inch of plywood on each side it's 32 yeah okay it's what it is and then this should be what 52 or 54 no no 52 because the window is 48 you're getting other measurements stuck in your hold on let's double check the measurements for the window is 28x 48 so 52x 32 yeah it should be yeah okay so what is it it means you're doing a great job it's perfect it's what it's so good it's what what was the word perfect right what I thought it's right on so we don't have to put any more together right no I think that's good it's what all the boards are cut now we just have to wait on johon and ADI to finish screwing them all together and then we can rip some plywood but right now I need to get the rest of those Boards out of the truck because the plywood's on the bottom and we need to be able to rip the plywood so I think what we should do is take some of those 2x4s up because a lot of them are for horizontal braces across the porns as well as the braces that go from the top of the window forms to the ground so each window gets two of those long supports so that's 26 boards that we need to take up there some of you have commented about my new pants um problem is I'm so used to paper thin pants these are so hot so I got to change then I can get back to work all right let's go oh not bad for a day's work we got all of the 2x4s for all 13 Windows built now we have a bunch of plywood sitting in the back of the truck we're going to have to rip that down tomorrow and then get these things fully built but good progress for today we'll see you tomorrow all right we're on on day two of making the 133 window forms for The Roundhouse and you may have seen us try to rip plywood in the past it was very difficult but it's difficult no more because I have a Craig rip stop makes my job so much easier just set it to 16 in and rip all the plywood let's get started Game Changer I don't want to say Game Changer it works what do I say hey what do I don't know success that was so fast why didn't I not have one of those before thank you to our friend Steve from steampunk Steve on YouTube and um he's the one that let me use his rip stop so uh for the workshop when we had to cut plywood for the frames that went on the inside Courtyard but after using that I was like I have to get one that was so so fast and so accurate No clamping no straight edge just set it and go so thank you Steve that was a great idea now we got to cut them down to size and screw them on the weekend is gone I'm on my we took our boards down to the in the Deep SE i'me like CH sorry we're getting Sid tracked on a little project we can't quite explain it yet but we just need to know if this is going to work hold up bra all right time to put all the forms together we went ahead and did one off camera just to make sure we know what we're doing and that we have a good system so we only have 12 more to do it's going to go really fast everything's going to be great maybe we'll even get to set a couple tonight I mean we might get crazy and put them all in we'll see so as I'm sitting here editing this video that you're watching right now I realize no one hit record when we went to attach all the plywood to these forms so just pretend there's a long Montage of Montage Montage Tage just pretend there's a big just pretend you saw us putting the oh my gosh just keep going Montage that's the word it was here continue hey hey we got those forms made so quickly that we are putting them in way to go sorry I wasn't out I had we weren't planning this at all guys had to work on some videos so uh yeah they're built so now we're going to we're going to test we call it test fit okay well here's the thing we installed one and then we're like like you know what we should do we should put them all on the wall and make sure that we actually want this many windows well just that they're in the right spot and that we want this many windows well you already built them well you know okay so this is what we're doing setting all the window forms up taking a look getting them measured and then making them level and installing them yeah we'll get them in um but I think it is important because this is a lot of windows it's a lot of like spacing and we just want to make sure that they're where we think I mean we already marked it but who knows we could change our minds yep that never happened why my M me with now all the times I let you in and then you let me down I call be B so I need you back around other times I let you in and then you let me down I should really let you go now our seem to put the phone down I've been lying here alone now I should really let you I'm get way way to your heart I can't see straight this next one's going to be a problem for whatever reason when we were tamping it during the workshop there's this one section that goes like down almost two full inches I still don't know what happened um so that means we're going to have to raise this window up at least 2 in probably more to get all the tops of them to match so let's see how many pieces of wood we have to put underneath the form that is a lot of Windows oh my gosh hey hey you made some serious progress today I did ad and I we made all those forms MH and then we installed six out of 13 forms so halfway done yeah and even now I mean it looks crazy did we just install 14,000 windows in our house that's what it feels like it looks insane but this is going to pay off big time on down the road yeah and it you know we spent a lot of time just trying to figure out how to space these because they're spaced based on you know the frame walls the rooms but also visually from the outside we wanted to make sure there was still some sort of pattern so when you drove up it wasn't like they were just randomly yeah uh I think I think we got it there's like there's like one spot where the pattern stops but it's far enough back around that I don't think anybody and the pattern only stops because we have a bathroom before a bedroom so yeah it's all good guys we have so many windows and we have more to install which is what we're going to do tomorrow yep we'll see you then it maybe take a ride on this pipe train hold it in wait for it here come to fall oh your mind's been spun into a web it's spider going to catch them all one more day we have seven more frames to put in nope we have seven more forms to put in I keep calling them frames but these are forms they will be removed we're putting seven more in we've got six in kids are out here to help me Jonathan's editing video hopefully he'll be out in a little bit but let's get started he he okay so here we are in our bedroom we've set the windows up now we are measuring and making sure they're exactly how we want it so let me show you oh sorry I was going to say for those of you who are just joining us oh this bedroom has a bathroom in it and so that's what this is here there will be a wall that goes all the way wall this is our wall right here yep right here so all the measurements that you're taking are just imagine there's a wall where I am yeah so we have done some measuring in between the windows we're going with 81 in which gives us plenty of room to put a king-size bed in the middle of the windows I was researching a bunch of funu fun yeah cuz I was like you know we could put our bed there we could put our bed here we could put it over there this is the best way for fun oh is it best way for fun I like that there's a lot of um you know movement coming through the door and through this door and so you don't want your bed in the middle of that energy okay so here we are this is where our bed is going to go right here it's going to come out to here just pretend I'm laying down so I know a lot of people said this doesn't look like a big room but think about that a king-size bed is only going to come to here and you have how much more room probably 15 10 15 feet all of this there will eventually be a dresser here maybe a TV maybe not who knows will there be a TV let's talk about our other window in our bathroom yeah go ahead so we mentioned earlier that some of these forms are like real operable windows and some of them are something else here's one of the other things that these are so in this bathroom remember there's a wall right here this is our shower drain so the wall actually comes all the way here so this is what we would call the center of the shower the shower is going to come out probably to about here and then we're going to have sort of a glass bottle feature here most of the way up and then we'll have a small operable window up high so that we can let steam out I mean we'll have a vent but in case we just want some fresh air in the bathroom that'll let us do that and we're going to do that over in the kids bedroom sorry over in the kids bathroom as well can I talk about my bottle wall here okay this wall is not going to be just a framed wall of course is going to have bottles on it so about from waist high up is all bottle bricks may maybe nope it is there's there's stuff in the wall that has to stay in the wall it's all bottle bricks there's mini split there's it's all bottle bricks there's Plumbing it's all bottle bricks it's going to be beautiful well I'm not sure I want it to be bottle bricks L me all right so we're installing our last two forms this one here is going to go uh it's where the kids bathroom is so remember we talked about going to be a shower so it'll be right outside of the shower it'll be glass bottles most of the way up with a small operable window and then we're going to put another one here right next to the mudroom entry do we decide if this was bottles too no that's an operable window the whole thing is an operable window I think so maybe we can change our mind we're building it it might be it might be cool if they're both bottles with little windows so it's eve and Steven you know know like I just the designer in me likes things even we'll see what happens I don't know everything changes every which way you got to hold on to what you need and if I hide myself how could I the world can trust each other always make things right what is more important everything changes every which way you got to hold on to what you stay here stay here to Sun really likes to lay in my think he likes to lay in everyone's lap it's take me away river flows I want to drive on your open road like the Wilderness where we are Bor singing wo there's an oce in your
