I'm no content creator. I'm just good at drinking beer, honestly. My name is Bert, and I'm gonna build my house. Okay. A little update here. So I got on this wall, it showed me building the other day. Got some sheeting on tier, some blocking. I know a lot of people will probably be like, why didn't you do the blocking this way, this way, that way? Well, I just did it like that because I wanted to. Good this wall built, got some sheets on it, and now I'm going to start building the loft for the garage. I'm gonna put, 26 foot LVL from there to there. I'm gonna set two by eights on top of that header and then hanger them onto that 26 foot header. No, basically, you get so it'll basically be kinda just like a man cave, extra storage, somewhere to hang out. I don't know exactly, but I think it'd be kinda cool.
