Do THIS Before You Start Any Construction Project

This is one of the best sponsored videos I’ve EVER seen! Because you are genuinely using the product & incorporated HOW you’re using it into the video, it’s not a “staged” commercial as most are. I hope you continue to work with them & develop monthly “sponsored tutoring” videos like these as you progress. These weren’t available when I was flipping houses 15 years ago, but one challenge was keeping track of the finances & paperwork. It’d be great to see how you track these with Milanote and/or other apps (potential sponsors?).

[@devonloerop]

@@ttopero thanks! Yeah, I only work with brands that I truly believe in and bring value to the channel/that I use on a day to day basis. I'll never partner with a company just to make a quick buck if I don't believe in their products. Integrity is very important to me.

[@ttopero]

@@devonloerop I knew of them but signed up to try it out because of YOU! Keep up the great work-you’re an inspiration for me!

[@sdremmy]

Man, this looks right up my alley! Going to give it a try. Been using Google drive... I’m building my first custom home on the other side of the Sound. Enjoying watching your videos and excited to see this next build! Cheers!

[@devonloerop]

Ayyy nice! Another builder in WA! Def give it a go, I'm hooked on how easy it is to work and the phone app is also a game changer for to do lists.

[@ninabooker2904]

You have a love of the forest, evergreen trees and the color green, and you like your sauna and hot tubs so using those things as inspiration. I search for Swedish language words. Conifer or pine tree is Barrtrad (the second A has the two dots over it). Forest is Skog. House is Hus. Home is Hem. Cabinet is Stuga. Any combination of these words sound appropriate to me. Just a jumping off point, if you’re interested. I’m very much looking forward to this project. All your other builds have been unique, special and creative so I have no doubt this one will be also. 👍

[@devonloerop]

ohh these are definitely a good place to start! Thanks nina!

[@heathnieddu6342]

I love the direction you're going with this. The Balinese inspiration sounds spot on. Honestly, I've been looking for a set of plans and I'm loving everything you do. If you make these plans available, and some of the project plans, cost estimates, milanote age, I'd be very interested. I'm a little concerned that the metal structure may reduce the DIY aspect and increase my cost. Regardless, when the time comes for me to work with someone for a two-bedroom place, this will be the first place I'll look. Thanks for what you do!

[@SamuelThompson-rh2su]

Awesome video! My wife and I are wanting to get out on some land and I’ve been watching your channel like crazy!

[@DependsWhatDay]

What do you use to create floorplans and 3-D view of your planned structures, please?

[@chickolat]

I am in canada and currently in process of buying a land. I wont be doing container home but i really enjoy your process, very clean. Thanks for sharing milanote. I downloaded to keep all my 'inspiration" and madness in one place. The board for estimates - is that job drag and drop?

[@sharonwaldie9737]

I love your description of the space 2/3 and 1/2. So that would be 7/6. Is there a patio included in this?

[@devonloerop]

Hahah I need to start sleeping more than 5 hours a night 😅 but yeah... let's just say that's the patio included. 😂

[@jeftyg4899]

Devon - Greetings from another PNW resident and engineer. Milanote looks like a great tool. Looking to do something similar to your project but with an ocean view. I will follow along and undoubtedly pick up many great tips from you. Looking forward to this project.

[@devonloerop]

Wow an ocean view would be amazing! Thanks for following along.

[@inmyimage1081]

The Devo-minium of course

[@devonloerop]

Hahahaha in comic sans on the front 😂

[@sebastianbrunk8635]

So excited for this build

[@devonloerop]

Me too!

[@xavipanneton]

Chat GPT is great for coming up with names if you give it a really in-depth description of the vibe

[@TD-zc4zi]

Don’t forget the basketball hoop in the garage

[@MrJason0505]

Bro put the toilet in its own space. Water closet.

[@devonloerop]

Not a bad idea

[@bm2ilabs]

nicely done with the build guide , you will do step by step for this build as well ?

[@devonloerop]

Yes I definitely will be! For the next few months I'm going be working through all of the estimates, seeing if I can actually afford it financially but as soon as I can I'm going to be documenting the whole thing

[@gao-e4q]

Great integration of a good ad for Milanote and interesting video about how you handle planning! Nice job :)

[@devonloerop]

I'm serious, this software is amazing! I've already had a few people mention they are trying it and loving it!

[@michaelgusse]

What program do you use to design?

[@devonloerop]

I used HOUZZ pro, I create an account with their one month free trial, design it within a month and cancel before the subscription starts haha

[@michaelgusse]

Ok thank you! Thats the way to do it!

Hi love the vids keep it up

[@devonloerop]

Cedar Hollow cost breakdown video is dropping this Saturday 🤫 this is going to be the best video I've ever made (plus I'll have the construction plans for y'all)

[@EthanShark]

@@devonloerop cant wait

[@PeterPan-kl6dq]

Man I’m inspired !

[@devonloerop]

Go get after it!

[@kennymalikowski4524]

What is your budget for this build?

[@devonloerop]

Still trying to figure that out. Hopefully under $250 😅

[@awarenessgeneration]

[@achbergerphoto]

I love how americans use math "About 2/3 of the structure will make up garage and the other 1/2 will make up living quarters" 🤣🤣🤣

[@devonloerop]

Hahaha I'd rather have toys than a big home, but still 800sf isn't too small

[@achbergerphoto]

@@devonloerop 800sf in eastern Europe is a regular 2 bedroom apartment. I have a 4 bed, 2 & 1/2 bath 1560sf energy passive house I built mostly myself from bricks. Took 2 years to plan, 3 years to build. Will hopefully become energy active with some photovoltaics in near future. Wish you a lot of energy!

[@devonloerop]

@@achbergerphoto that's awesome! Best of luck to you and the project too!!

[@chaunceygoldsmith8929]

Would you ever built a container home for someone for the right cash.

[@devonloerop]

Yeah! If this price is right. Shoot me an email [e-mail]

ooooh, I kinda like the sounds of that!

[@devonloerop]

ohhh not bad!

[@smcox1991]

Imagine thinking a wall of glass saves you money over insulation and siding 😂

[@devonloerop]

I don't want to live in a dark box.📦 plus if the views are banger while not glass it up

[@smcox1991]

@@devonloeropdefinitely put a wall of glass in but it’s not cheaper than siding. Big custom size windows are super expensive.

[@ajfreeze215]

For good glass, probably $100K for that end wall?? I’d be curious to know

[@yariav]

No pluming on your list….

[@devonloerop]

It is now!

[@keyser1975]

Why such a big garage ?

[@devonloerop]

My future truck and all my tools, and it rains so much that I want to have space indoors to work.

[@keyser1975]

Ok makes sense

[@keyser1975]

Also on ur last video it wasn’t clear it seemed that you were working on private investor not ur own house

[@MachinistRandy]

Holy cow....a 15 minute commercial. I love your normal videos, please dont make this a thing.

[@devonloerop]

This is legitimately a part of construction and I show every step of construction. Don't worry though, many more build vids to come

[@DependsWhatDay]

I really enjoyed seeing the organization of the build and having come from the school of multiple files on the desktop, OneNote, Good Note AND Notability. I am thrilled to see Milanote in action! The features are, as you demonstrated, far superior to those I have previously downloaded and spent far too much time(and frustration) with to accomplish project management. Thank you Devon!

[@mathisseshorts]

There is no sound.

[@devonloerop]

Try refreshing the page. Sometimes the video will do that when it's first published.

[@mathisseshorts]

Yes, it worked. Thank you

[@devonloerop]

@@mathisseshorts enjoy the vid, lmk if you have any questions. :)

You should consider putting in shopping around for contractors like you didnt on your 750k shipping container shit
