Cost To Build Pole Barn House || Detailed Cost Breakdown

[@AceXwilD]

This video is amazing because of your honesty and transparency. I've never understood the stigma or fear people have explaining cost especially when its such a fundamental necessity to conceptualizing a project. Thank you.

[@avpr1c]

This is a much better plan compared to buying someone else’s old, over priced, piece of junk house. Great job

[@adambraaten3201]

Your son is blessed to have smart parents!!! Amazing home for him to grow up in. Why wouldn’t you want 5,000 square ft home with a $400,000 mortgage? Because you’re smart!!!

[@chris3m98]

You 2 should be very proud of yourself! I'm 87 years old & glad you have no stairs in your home. You are very bless to have each other!!!

[@jwilliams4557]

I sure do appreciate you putting this up, I’m an older lady who is thinking of moving into a more rural area and building a pole barn. May the Lord bless you for doing this for us🙏🏻✝️

[@thenestof5891]

Thank y’all so much for being transparent. Most people never bring out the numbers.

[@corbincooney3460]

From GA, my wife and I thank y’all for this. We’ve watched several of y’all’s videos to get a better idea of what we are wanting. Again, very informative and thank you!

We are from Georgia too in the north area …if there are any metal construction companies that will build this area please post 😊

[@kelsiekleinschmidt9443]

Really excited about seeing this video. We have been in our trailer for about 4 years now. We have 5 acres, and a beautiful pond. I want to build a pole barn house in a few years. We will have the land/trailer paid off in 2 years. I’m excited to be able to build our dream home at 30 years old!!

[@jeanneaguirre8094]

Great job guys! We built a new modest home & it was the best thing we could've done. ... 28 yrs back.

[@edrianshavers9007]

Hello from Northwest Mississippi as well. You and your wife did an amazing job on building your family 🏡. Didn't even know there are home kit to build a home as long as you have the land. Again simply gorgeous open floor plan home.

[@herbclark2476]

Great to see a young couple do this! In the long run you will really appreciate it more every year!

Beautiful young family doing it right,congratulations on the home. We just finished building a house for my nephew on a slab in New Hampshire, but we put in the radiant heat in the slab came out perfect.

I am so glad that you guys posted this. It may be a different state but it helps with info so much and this is exactly what we wanna do.

[@Grandpa_RLP]

Don't apologize for your dream. It is awesome and your videos answer a lot and inspire people to do their own. Some of the best videos for that with Pole Barns I have seen. Plus as a guy who met/married/had children in and lived in MS for 13 years I appreciate the down home accent and lingo. :)

We are north of you in KY. Thinking of downsizing and looking at something similar. Thanks for sharing. Beautiful home. Congrats

Just found y'all tonight and already watched 4 of your videos. I'll watch them all eventually. They are educational and entertaining. I may have a few questions for you later, but I'll watch more of your videos first. Beautiful house y'all got.

[@timothysmith5060]

Excellent information! Lots of people just need ideas and to hear from folks that have actually done it - as well of lives in it !! Rather than just seeing advertisers trying to sell ! Good job and congratulations- well done!

[@shanemontgomery1358]

Love the cost and the reality that you do not buy into the materialistic world view! Change your families lives!

[@shanemontgomery1358]

Two questions about the layout. 1) Are you happy with the “detached” closet or would you somehow have placed it where you can walk into it from the master bedroom. 2) Are you ok with the bathroom being where it is and not between the bedrooms? Was the decision to place it where it is one of cost? I assume it was cheaper to not run as much plumbing?

[@LifeOnTheRidge]

1) my wife LOVES the one big closet...it makes putting up clothes after laundry a breeze because she doesn't have to go from room to room putting clothes up. The location was well thought out as well because you turn around from the laundry room and go straight into the closet. 2)The bathroom really wasn't placed there because of budget...Just thought that location would suit us best. Because of the openness of the house it makes the bathroom feel off to itself. This isn't our forever home...we have plans of building another slightly larger house on this same property. This house will be office space/place for gatherings and birthday parties and bonus area... Thanks for the questions and thanks for watching!!

[@EYALAVRAHAMI]

Thanks for sharing it with us! not many people are willing to share there budget with everyone.

[@eddiejohnson3458]

like you i have remodel a couple of houses and i moved and set mobile homes for a living for over 25 years of my life and what i learned over the years instead of buy new stuff like that i went to a local habit for humanity what they do is remodels houses for people in need well they also run a store with building metrials yes it might be older items but i used cabinets for making a garage work bench cabinets cost me like 150 bucks where if i would have gone too home depot or lowes the same cabinets would have cost me over 500 bucks not counting the 3/4 inch plywood in all i had just less than 200 bucks but what made it better for me it just made my mother happy she had a work bench in her garadge and plenty of storage space for other things

[@LifeOnTheRidge]

You are correct. You can really save some money at places like that!

[@dustinnorton7968]

Appreciate the info. I’ve already got a building structure in tact similar to yours and was looking to budget 50k to finish it out and looks like I should easily be able to come in under that. Thanks for putting my mind at ease 😂

It sure seemed larger than that sq. Ft. you said. Beautiful home.

[@codemiesterbeats]

Nice work. My issue is finding reliable information on building requirements. I just wished it was more readily available. Its like they dont want folks building themselves lol. I do live in a relatively rural area. Its probably not as bad here as other places. I might look into it more. Thanks for the info.

[@pamrouske1417]

You mentioned the insurance company wanted to be sure the enclosed portion was only a house and not part house and part garage. Do you know why? Would they not insure it if the house/garage or house/shop were one structure? That's confusing since most homes have a connected garage. I'm sure I'm missing something here! Beautiful home and your information on the build process is much appreciated!

[@LifeOnTheRidge]

Exactly the same thoughts I had. I’m not sure why that was the case. I didn’t ask why because at the time there was a lot going on with the build and I was just glad ours didn’t fall into that criteria. Thank you and Thanks for watching!!

Like your place. Would be about just right for me & my 8 year old daughter.were in a mobile home on around 20 acres in Carthage NC. Have to cut a few more trees & get some stakes in the ground & start planning.thx for the info

[@MonzaRacer]

A few tips. Look at post frame buildings using permacolumns in ground and laminated columns like the ones from Graber Post Buildings in indiana. They use finger jointed plus glued and nailed. They also can make floor trusses roof trusses and other services. Now I am working on my building plans and I have planned to use a different exterior sheeting of Huber ZipR12 giving me an R12 wall before anything else installed. I also am planning bookshelf girts, 2x6 scissor trusses for roof 2x6 purlins in brackets and double trusses. With building sealed fully including the roof, and then adding full thickness Rockwool and if I need more to fill cavities I'll use Rockwool comfort board. And plan on thin plywood with good grade hard wood face vs using gysum board(drywall). My plans are to try to reuse the new furnace from my trailer, and my plans are to add MrCool DIY AC/heat

We have 2 br. and 2 bath. A loft br. And. Full walk out basement. We love our house but to big and 20 acres to take care of. I guess that is one reason I love your so much. I would love the same thing but smaller. No loft no basement.. I know you said but I can't remember what you said the size of your living dining and kitchen area is and the square footage of the whole house is. Good head on your shoulders and a great family.
