Transcript excerpt

My name is Bert, and I'm gonna build my house. I'm gonna start doing some, house wrap, I think. There's a few different ways to put rank on, but the way I like to do it because it really bugs me if it's not straight and it's all rank. And it's absolutely off limits to put the words upside down. But what I do is I'll tack a corner and then pull the roll all the way out, cut it, go along the whole bottom, tack that on, and then I'll go to the center and then get that nice and straight up the center and then work my way out from the center. I was out of town this, past week, so I wasn't able to work on my house a whole lot. But I'm gonna keep doing some house rank. And then it's supposed to rain kinda, like, all hazy out here. So I think when it starts raining, I'm gonna go inside and then give you guys a little tour of what the interior looks like. And, I still gotta do a little bit of framing in there, but, otherwise, most of the interior framing's done. Got the house all wrapped all the way around. So the next thing I'm gonna do is frame the porch up on the front here. And once I do that, I can set windows, and then I'll start doing my rough ins on the inside.
