so family meeting we're demoing some of
the wall we built what a waste of
[Music]
[Applause]
time
my we good the time has finally come
it's time to build the big window

[Music]
now that all the pieces are cut it's
time to assemble
[Music]
you're the best place to carry it if you
get the middle yeah just walk up inside
it there
get under it under it like here would
that make it easier to walk so you don't
bang your shins into it step by step
walked 100 miles and I still ain't sure
just what I'm trying so hard to find the
night seems longer and the wind blows
louder when you want so far from home if
I cross your mind say a prayer I find my
way
holy moly that's a big window Windows
yeah nice job building that it's like
the right size uh for scale this is a
big
window yeah thanks for that so we're
going to put build some cleats and of
course we're going to have to do some
diagonal bracing and support cuz this
thing is Big the wind will just take it
off the wall if we don't get it locked
in really good so we're going to start
with two diagonals and see if that's
enough not sure
you know that you like you and Jet do
this same thing where you like like
explain something and make it sound so
simple all we have to do is lean it over
this way it's just
like fine I mean simple I feel like we
could almost use we need if we had like
two people on the bags to grab the top
and help you lift it up
I ran out of scen no out of nails we
needed what one more there's like
there's some in there but I guess it's
not enough that it'll let
[Music]
me just
[Music]
oh see we're going to have to get it up
over the buter to yeah it
up we should have done this from the
inside probably yep it's too late now
can you guys just squeeze it I think we
can just there's there's a cat hey buddy
what are you doing do we need to get
those things off the butresses just lift
it up like this babe and then we can get
it up to them
ready yeah all right yeah it's thly to
lean over there there got it you got
that side let's get up over the
buttresses watch that drill out way yeah
are you LIF lift it up
bab put the bottom on the bag just set
it down if you need
to stuff in adel's way hold on okay
don't let it fall that
way lift it up on in the bag yeah I'm
trying to scratch the bag okay lift up
again okay lift up
again need to go JS
way okay I'm at the corner of the
buttress are you at the corner pretty
dang close I want to put the level on it
and see how what if it was like
perfectly level are we sure hold on a
second everybody hold it right there
this to do we need a window this day I
mean I would well keep in mind that
we're not at ground level or floor level
at least it's going to be a foot shorter
like P probably just the sheer height of
it like it's so much taller than every
other form in here by a very large
margin all right we're going to go past
the plumbing I don't even know where to
hold this thing it's very top
heavy F the pling go down straight
out nice I did not
it's taller than our
wall come sit on the frame everybody
take a
corner I'll take a so family meeting how
big is our window too big too big even
though we've mocked up the wall and
there should be enough bag going over
the top I don't feel comfortable seeing
it in person I think there needs to be
more bag that goes over the top of it I
mean our goal was we really wanted when
when you come in the front door to see
the top of the mountain range that's why
it's so high I think we're going to have
to compromise it's like when you go to
the movies and you get a seat on the the
front row that's what it felt like
you're
like but look at the beautiful frame we
made it's night hopefully we can we can
use it we should be able to salvage most
of this oh yeah for
sure we'll just modify it yeah well what
a waste of time actually it wasn't a
waste time colossal one it was pretty
fun to see it it was a learning
experience we learned what we do and do
not
want all right we know that sometimes
things sound good on paper but when you
see them in person it doesn't always
work so it's okay yeah good to know
[Music]
we may be struggling with this very
large window but you know what we're not
struggling with sweaty feet today's

keep your feet happy and healthy with
camel City Mill socks you want to get
this window in I do let's do
it all right we've slept on it and uh we
did a bunch of drawings and we talked to
a few
people and this is going to be more
complicated than we thought it was going
to be the plan is for us to drop the
window down a bag and maybe even shorten
the
window yes shortening in a foot down to
4 feet instead of 5T will make it more
manageable but the issue is it's just
too high and there's a number of reasons
it's too high has it's all related to
countertop Heights in this outdoor water
spigot
and so the water sprig is going to have
to move and it's going to be a whole
thing so so we're going to do something
we haven't done before it's demo day
we're demoing some of the wall we built
boo yeah also this is about a 5 foot
section on each side of this water box
so we're looking at between 5 and 600 lb
per bag that we need to remove so uh
we're going to try to just push it off
first with all of us which I don't think
is going to work and and then after that
we going to have to attack it in small
sections and remove it carefully cuz
it's heavy we have all of our PPE ready
and we have uh all of our weapons of
choice so we're ready wish us luck to
knock this down all right
everybody everybody on this side we
don't want to push any of this wall
towards our plumbing on the ground here
so we're going to start with one section
and we're all just going to push at the
same time and see if we can move it it
will probably move a little bit is there
even room for all of us come on aah
everybody hold on everybody should
probably we kind of go up and out up and
over and also you probably just want to
keep your arms
close don't you don't extend your arms
cuz you're going to hurt yourself right
ready set no hold on hold on jeez you
got you got wa till we ready I said
Ready set go were all ready everybody
had their hands everybody was ready all
right on three 1 1 2
oh my gosh I did
it I didn't think we'd be able to do
that now what happened on the other side
all right let's see the other one oh it
hit our buttress that's not good
uhoh damage it yeah real
bad that's not
good so we don't want to do that because
that huge bag heavy bag landed on our
butress whoops I think we can fix it
it's not a huge deal but we don't want
that to happen again no not ideal so
we're going to probably chop this yeah
chop this one in sections and take it
off
also it damaged this because broke the
compression on it man yeah I think when
you lift it up like when we pushed it
all the weight was right there and it's
just like that was a lot of weight okay
so we'll be a little more more Surgical
at least like we need to chop the edge
off and then we could toss it but yeah
we need to be a little bit more careful
if we were to make more um bag mix and
we were to get the bag area wet I think
if we really pressed it into there like
I was thinking of like no I'm talking
about bottom if we sift the rocks out
cuz you don't want the rocks in there
sip the rocks out get a really wet mix
could we put more like concrete I was
thinking of doing that but also adding
bag to patch it just to keep it well
there's bag there so we could like f it
up and then press it in I want to take
this off real quick and see what it
looks like inside like look at that so
that's what it looks like when you take
the bag off pretty impressive I got to
say it's a little crumbly in some parts
yeah a little bit oh work
IO almost you got to
really I guess you don't you don't
really want it to fall no I don't want
it to fall that way make it watch out
everybody move your hands move your
hands watch your
eyes I feel like it's just going to fall
off it's not
fall push it really hard so that it
comes off away from the wall I can try
it I don't know my side just going to
it's kind of got to go up for now did
you get it all the way through no here
me finish well then it's not going guys
oh wait wait wait you want me to use
this cuz I don't want you to like break
too much I'm afraid you're going to hit
the other bag mess up I'm not we close
to the I know but like will will that
motion oh all the way there hold on the
under bag I think that's good hold on
let let's do it by hand from here yeah I
think you got
it probably would help to get all the
way through it
okay I think that's fine I think we can
push that off I'm just afraid if you try
to grab it from here it's going to like
crumble and you're going to fly
backwards that was loose there
y here wait let me see that thing that
you just have I'd also recommend using a
SL should
[Music]
come ready do it Jack do
it use your legs not your arms it's
m it feels like it's still yeah I'll
just try and hold it stuck on there let
me it
a hold on
I'm I can just push it all the we okay
there ready one two
it's
moving there you go well kind
[Music]
of is there any tools over
[Music]
here since we have this bag here if you
guys pushed that block off and I pull it
away from the it's just going to rip the
bag is
not I mean I just need to pull it a
little bit so it doesn't hit
all right watch out I'm going to go a
little bit bigger this time
here like there's a big crack going like
this
that you want to help me shove it real
hard yeah Ready set
go look it didn't even break when it
fell
great is the bag underneath it fine yeah
yeah let me pull it this way ready no
just shove a little bit so I can
yeah look at that Bo we did it nice all
right one step forward phase one three
steps back phase one
[Applause]
done I'm just waiting
[Music]
how close did you get with
the let's see oh look how close it was
oh my gosh
seriously now we just need to chop this
destroy it right here
[Music]
if you're wondering just how big this
window is
you know what you can come see it for
yourself tiny shiny meet and greet just
a couple of weeks going to spend the
whole day touring the property looking
at all the buildings we've built walking
around the hyper doobe roundhouse eating
delicious food and meeting cool people
we've got spots open on March 15th and
you can use the link right here to sign
up hopefully we'll see you there and you
can check out that big window uh that
went pretty good yeah except for the
buttress but it's fixable I'm not still
structural it's not a big deal so before
we trim this window like we said we're
just going to go and set it up there
real quick just see what it looks like
cuz we've already dropped it down five
whole inches yeah um we're probably
going to make a shorter but I figured
before we do that let's just set it up
there so let's let's see I mean it' be
nice if I didn't have too it ready
go you got it guys oh I
see careful gentle gentle need to go up
and over to ad
that's as far over as it'll
go oh you're hitting a buttress what's
the matter a but but it's on the B it's
like way off it's not way off it's like
an
[Music]
inch round two
[Music]
there it
goes okay well after a lot of debate and
uh conversations with the kids we've all
decided we're going to cut this down to
4T looks great on paper but once you get
it up here we we just didn't feel good
about it so we're going to cut this down
to 4ot and get it installed this should
be easy though right it's really because
you built the form so well it'll just
we'll just pop the end off we'll trim
those boards down pop it back on can you
say that one more time you built it so
well I love when you say
that they don't love it when you say
that don't talk sweet to
me don't talk sweet
[Music]
not advised to do it that way but we did
it we forgot to account for the 2x4 that
sets
on top of the vertical 2x4 so we're
cutting another inch and a half off of
all the vertical supports to get it to
the right
[Music]
[Music]
height and I know that you
will coming back
since you gone I'm losing my
[Music]
mind a nobody but
to now
you nobody for too
[Music]
B oh you play with
my all right I need two people up on the
wall
let's go you're going to be in the
middle helping us window placement take
four five
seven but this is looking really nice
don't you think like I feel good about
the size I don't know we'll find out no
tell me tell me it's the
good okay too many pieces of wood in the
way you're too many pieces of wood in
the hold
on clean up your Works Space oh you
clean up your workspace I did all the
work
soace so so we're just lying
now ready wait I'm not ready why are you
over there cuz I
[Applause]

way okay we're still on the bag a little
need to go that way some if we can can
you lift it
up hold on
why want it go I don't know I can go
down on my
side there there's a piece of rock down
there so it's very much needs to be
cleaning this
way
yeah so A's on
something she's on this right here let
me see this it's right here too
I mean the question is do does it even
need
yeah if it was perfectly level I would
be very surprised it's close it's really
close it's
close need to go up on the left level
right here and right here it could go
looks like it needs to go up on the left
side just barely
though what's it look like from back
here have you been back here
I don't know nothing's level over here
so you mean nothing's level nothing is
level looks good it doesn't need to push
this way yeah we'll fix P but yeah that
