Im getting ready to build my own barndo and I like your foundation wall. I think I will do mine the same way and use the perma brackets. The one thing that I might do differently is using steel trusses and framing my walls out between the posts.

If a rainscreen is used under this siding, do you know what type would be best to use?

nah

Had to stop watching due to your mic only playing 1 speaker on my headset. hurt my head trying to watch because it was only coming out of one speaker. the OCD in me made me move on, too bad I was hoping to watch it all.

Love the drop flooring. Is that going to be dead space? will it have outside access? I would guess you need access to the plumbing?.. great idea. love it

Looks good. I like how the floor system details worked out.

Excellent. I am planning to self-build a post frame shop and house on my land in central Texas. They will both have concrete floors on top of ground with about 6 inches of topsoil and solid limestone under that. So, the foundations will be interesting. Currently using Sketchup to design all.

Why didn't you just build a 4 or 5 foot crawl space and save a heap of stress.. Would it have cost you more than a few grand?

this is a great video on crawlspace encapsulation!

Looks great. In hindsight, would it have been easier to install the vapor barrier before installing the floor system? Keep up the good work.

Looking good. I'm jealous you are getting stuff done and I still haven't really started mine yet. lol

Nice to see piers actually get vibrated. That seems to happen rarely in these types of vids.

Your ties should have a hook on them to be correct

Now you’re ready for one big telescope

Your pretty good at this.

Great video, thanks for this detailed review, very helpful! Question, would recommend the 24k or 18k in a single story ranch approx. 1035 sq ft.? BTW I’m located in Connecticut. The home is open floor concept kitchen to living, dividing wall was taken out.

Nice job

When you changed to crawl space did you hire an engineer to redo the drawings?

Up voted based on the "lets pull up a chair" pun. So far the rest of the video is good.

Why not I-Joist?

Liked and subscribed! Excellent information and thank you so much for sharing!

I like the idea of DIY HVAC but I don't like that massive roll of extra coil, it has to be inefficient since the coil is supposed to stay cold. I know it's insulated but insulation isn't 100% efficient. The extra coil shouldn't exist. It's just a bad design by the manufacturer. One thing I would do is delete the factory mini split drain hose and replace it with a PVC drain that had a shut off valve at the mini split indoor unit and a fitting to accept an air hose, so that the drain line could be blown outside once a year with high air pressure from a small portable air tank. Just fill up the air tank with a regular compressor in the garage and only need to carry the small air tank inside the finished house, no long hoses or loud noises inside the house. I've watched other videos on mini split and the drain was a weak point that could be an easy low-cost fix.

Good to see you're using laminated posts. I built pole barns as a business in the early 1990s and those were the premium post types. They don't twist like a solid post and are easy to add trusses. We always knew the clients who ordered laminated were wealthy and the clients who had a round post (yes those people exist) were about broke. No offense to anyone, just saying laminated is the best you can buy as far as the wood post goes.

0:49 Where did you get that building code binder? Did you buy it or print a huge PDF file?

Why you didn't install a concrete slab floor? That wood and labor have to cost more than concrete.

It's better to install a 1x6 trim around all windows and doors because that gives you 5-1/2" clearance If the window or door ever needs to be replaced without having to touch the siding. Plus that added 5-1/2" trim makes the building look more finished like compared to a cookie cutter subdivision house vs to a traditional house built in the early 1900s, it just has that well-built look. You are young enough that you will replace windows in that house assuming you still live there in 30 years.

What is the name of the plastic bases?

Love the vids !

I love the detail of this method…. Building things to last longer than you you is something to be proud of

This is great and very helpful- What company do you get these clip system panels from?

Just installed 125 piers.. agree with the rebar wheels and rebar boots ..

Trying to decide on what to do with heat and air myself right now. I'm in MO so with her both extremes. It'll be interesting to see what your hearing is like. Four Seven Romeo.

I'm assuming you bought the post instead of building them? If so, would you do that way again?

Wagon wheels? you gotta be kidding

Wow 1.3k views, 8 comments 🤔

Not the best workmanship ?? I don’t even know how that footer is even legal🤔 I’m like wth is that?

What are all those pins sticking out of that “footer” Was that dug footer originally for a slab? Pleeeeease tell me what all those vertical pieces of rebar are for I don’t understand 🤔

Just did an install of this stuff on an interesting shaped building (12-sided, so all outside mitered corners). a few thoughts to some of the comments I've seen here: -Like you said, get used to the imperfections. Its a cast concrete product so there are going to be inconsistencies. I found that your starting row is super important to a good install. Don't be afraid to chip the flanges off or grind at the bottoms of the panels if you have a bowed piece that won't seat right. -The starter strips are really handy. Each panel is probably 15 lbs or so, so not having to hold it up while trying to screw is nice. -Because the faces of the stone are inconsistent with each other, mitred corners are just not going to match perfectly. If it really bothers you, Versetta makes a "caulking" that matches the stone color and consistency so you can get rid of the inevitable gaps that will show up. -USE YOUR LEVEL! It's really easy to get out of level if you aren't checking each piece, and you wont realize until you get to your siding and the whole stone cladding is an inch out over the length of a wall. Snapping lines (preferably set with a laser) is crucial to a good install. -A cold chisel works really well to chip the flanges. -An angle grinder with a 4in masonry blade came in handy for fine work. -Remember, this product is an budget friendly ALTERNATIVE to masonry work. The overall aesthetic is nice though. If you want the real thing (real rock, mortar, nice edges, etc.) you are going to pay for it. -WEAR A MASK, EARMUFFS AND EYE PROTECTION when cutting this stuff. It's concrete, and the silica dust is really bad for you. Overall a really cool product. Easy and straightforward to install for beginners. It achieves the look a lot of people are going for at a price that won't make you crap yourself. Don't be afraid to dive in and try an install yourself, it really isn't an intimidating product. Good video, thanks for posting.

This is looking awesome!

Can u put them over stucco or would i have to take off stucco wall?

If you use a bell auger you would need only third of concrete

Are there any cost savings over stick frame construction at this post?

This was perfect thank you.

I thought you would be pulling those wheels out after the concrete was in or at least while it was being poured.

1:11 Yep,100% Bro...worse yet the action of corrosion will actually work almost like water freezing and will break apart your concrete....ever see bridge abutments and columns that are breaking away and exposing the rebar...this is why.
