Good afternoon. March 10th, 2020. And spring is here
0:17
Although if you look at my window, you'd still see some snow. But I'm really encouraged
0:25
Just to show you how it works up here in New Hampshire, or, you know, a month ago, two months ago, you know, middle of January, if it snowed
0:34
like if there was a dusting of snow, it's not going away. It's just going to turn to ice
0:41
Last night, late yesterday afternoon last night, it snowed an inch. And I went ahead and I knew I didn't
0:54
have to do it, but I thought, ah, what the heck? So I scraped the snow off the driveway. It takes
1:00
about a half an hour. It's good exercise. You don't have to lift anything. You just kind of push it. And but I didn do anything with the front walk on purpose And by noon it was all gone So but it also gets a of tricks on light Good night Hello Hello Lorene How are you doing Great that you here
1:23
Here you go, Lorene. Boom. Now you get the magic blue wrench
1:31
All right, well, let's talk a little bit. Here's what we're going to do today. I'm going to talk in just a few minutes about house support beams and all different types
1:39
you might think there's only one type. Hello, Roco. There are several different types
1:44
And it's actually a very complex topic, but it's not as complex as you might think it is
1:50
It really comes down to a lot of common sense. Then we're going to talk about Discord
1:58
And Goodnight is going to put in links how to sign up or how to join the Discord on my private server that he was kind enough to set up
2:08
Thank you very much. And I'm starting to get a little bit more comfortable with that each day
2:12
And I noticed in the past 24 hours, he set up some interesting new channels
2:18
And I set up one today myself. So I was kind of happy about that. So anyway, we're going to have a lot of fun on Discord
2:24
And you can actually participate in Discord with others here in YouTube at the same time as you watching the stream here And pretty soon we going to be multiplexing
2:39
We're going to actually have the stream on Discord from what I understand. But I'm not going to remember about that today
2:44
So we're going to talk a little bit about that. And we're also going to talk about anything that you want to talk about
2:50
Whatever your questions might be, type them in the chat. I don't care what they're about. It doesn't matter. I had a really interesting consult call
2:58
for example. Hi, Will. I had a very interesting phone call, consult call about an hour ago
3:08
No, it was at 2 o'clock, actually, with a gentleman up in Chicago who's changing out all of his
3:13
galvanized water lines in his home to switching to copper. And he had a couple of really interesting
3:18
questions. So if you have questions like that, that's what I'm here for. I do the live stream
3:23
to try to help you save time and money. Simple as that. All right. Thanks very much. There's that
3:28
Discord link. So if you know anything about Discord, then you know what to do. Go there. If you don't
3:33
know anything about Discord, go there anyway. Just sign up. It's all free. And it's this extremely
3:39
powerful platform that allows us to share knowledge faster quicker and better than this particular
3:50
platform. It's going to blow your mind, actually. Okay, beams. Beams have been around for a long
4:01
time. Early man and early women, Lorraine. So they've figure it out that you could just take a flipping log and use a log to cross a stream
4:15
like span it and like magic. You know, the most basic of all bridges you could make out of a tree
4:24
I've done it myself as a kid. Just have to be careful as the tree starts to rot and the bark falls
4:29
off and gets pretty slippery. Obviously, as time went on, we refined that. But here's the really
4:38
interesting thing. This is really fascinating about beams. Beams were really, really limited
4:47
until the invention of steel. So you may think that steel has been around for a long time
4:58
Well, it has, and it has
