BARNDO BUILD - PART 1 | Framing our 600 sqft Barndominium!

[@missypin7520]

Great job!

[@CharlesM-h3v]

Lots of good mentality here, with living off grid to a certain extant, but bud, you're huffing and puffing from barely moving. Take care of yourself...because that unhealthy lifestyle will catch up to you real quick. When you don't got your health, you got nothing.

[@donaldwatson6621]

That was a good video, and I'm looking forward to the next one. Why did you use pressure-treated ceiling joists and 2 X12s? Also, no pressure-treated bottom plate? Last of all, why did you go with that type of insulation?

[@jakeolsen2764]

Why did you put the headers above the windows. There is no load to transfer on them. They are installed on the barn itself. Just curious if someone can explain it. Thank you.

[@oshen0]

Maybe they're building out loft/storage space on the top... Would that be a reason for the headers??

[@dewaynehill2127]

Doors and windows have steel framing, why the headers?

[@50MT4]

How were you holding the wall frame to the building? Did you use any fasteners on the wall to the frame of the building? If so, how did you do it and what you used?

[@77Avadon77]

It doesn't look like he did it, but generally what I see is people put horizontal boards screwed down onto the sidewall girts. Then they screw the vertical framing studs into the horizontal plates

[@richardmercado6700]

I don't think you're supposed to. Pretty much a free standing building inside a building.

[@77Avadon77]

@@richardmercado6700 I think it could be either really. I would probably attach it and make it monolithic.

[@kcmoviemkr]

I just find it interesting how someone can take the time to shoot a video - edit a video - post a video…and yet can’t take the time to answer questions. Just things that make you go…hmmmmm.

[@50MT4]

I finally got mine done and will answer my own question here as I ended up getting a framer to do the work instead of taking the task myself. Here’s what my framer did: Attached a 2x4 vertically and flat against the girts with Tek’s Wood to Metal screws. Then side nail the wall studs to the 2x4 that is attached to the girts. This is done every 6 feet or so. Even with my 20ft tall walls, attaching it this way made the walls extremely sturdy with no wobble.

[@stevenmarxs374]

How did you seal the base plate and the concrete floor? And in-between the framed wall and the metal

[@koreywhitt9484]

All and all how much did it cost you total for the shop and living quarters minus appliances. Just the entire concrete slab, shop, and everything to be livable?

[@jamessahlin4016]

We are about to do a similar build Question how did you fasten the walls to the iron beams

[@ralvis20]

I'm doing the same thing now and was told you DON'T want to do that. Reason being is that the building will always move a little, and if you tie your walls in to it, you'll probably get cracks in your sheetrock at some point. I'm keeping my walls an inch or so off of the metal building walls

[@AOMartialArts]

@@ralvis20 I'm probably too late for this comment, but my wife and I are about to do a project like this and I was planning on doing some steel cables or even heavy duty zip ties just for temporary stability. Eventually I'm going to drill into our foundation and drop a dozen Redhead concrete anchors.

[@tejiendoelfuturo]

How much you paid for the metal building? I used to build schools for a company

[@blixxy1320]

man this size is perfect. what was the cost per sf?

[@stevenmarxs374]

Estimated cost of materials to frame out 600 sq ft?

[@rockinrranch1431]

My wife and I just purchased a new property and are putting up a barn with a small apartment in it to live in while we sell our current home and build a new one. Glad you’re doing this! Awesome project!

[@GolschHayFarms]

Thats awesome

[@runinguy]

13:49 are those joists pressure treated?

[@normakers5632]

Very nice! You guys have it all planned.thanks for bringing us along

[@JasonSmith-em6ie]

You sound like me when u said ... I am not doing sheet rock 😂

[@surfandstreamfisher5749]

why pressure treated ceiling joist?

[@X_Studios]

Just a little over framing

[@nathanvanfossen1391]

It's a nice shop when do you start with the main house

[@Mike61259]

looks good except vinyl wall that will collect moisture The house needs to 'breathe' too.

[@justinlongoria9306]

Nice

[@thomasfelkel1388]

looks great

[@jacobguitreau242]

I am looking to build one of them for me what kind of ideas can you gave me I am want to build a a pole barn and build my apartment in it

[@jacobguitreau242]

How big is your build you have

[@carlosdanger1843]

Did you use treated lumber for the base or sill stud?

[@brandonsewell845]

I'd use treated all the way including plywood

[@secrandell]

Looks great! Why no treated bottom plate on walls?

[@Thaddeus.N]

But yet pressure treated ceiling joists??

[@christopherfountain7181]

My question as well

[@ryangaynor9715]

Looks good!!

[@masonsperling8336]

1st

[@5222k]

@11:35 What happened to the insulation at the back corner ceiling?

[@breezyridgeranch]

Love the video. We lived in a small cabin for a year. It was great. Cant wait to see the finished product.

[@GolschHayFarms]

Awesome. We can't wait either lol.

[@lancecornell5371]

Looks good. Thanks for sharing

Your codes don't call for a second door in the apartment

The place is looking great

Why does the laundry room need 2*6s?

[@gabegriego1059]

Did u get architect to design inside

[@billlevassiur5891]

Make sure to add oil to your nailers.

Who drew up ur floor plan

[@stuartgibson1896]

Looks good!

[@briancovish7359]

How did you attach the wood exterior walls to the metal/steel?

[@ro79john]

We’re you able to find this out?

[@ralvis20]

@@ro79john I'm doing the same thing now and was told you DON'T want to do that. The metal building will always move a little and so you could end up with cracks in your dry wall later. I'm keeping my walls an inch or so off of the metal building walls. Anchoring to the floor is enough security it's not going to go anywhere. I'm using 6" concrete anchors though

I guess they attached to the floor through the cement
