Great job making those cabinets They look fantastic and I’m sure they aren’t made of MDF like crap you could have bought for 5x the price

I am considering doing a barndo. Is the 2,400 square feet just living space or everything under roof, including the porches? Also, what kind of insulation did you use?

@TheHomesteadingAvenger Ай бұрын

@@larrywright1315 no sir there’s another 900 square feet of porches. We did closed cell and then open cell. That was the recommended way to go down in our area.

Thanks for your video. Did you pour your own cement foundation floor and porch floor?

@TheHomesteadingAvenger Ай бұрын

I did not. I subbed that out.

I wish I could have tho because that was 22k 😭😭😭

@ Thanks. Yes we have been pricing out even a smaller scale barndominum home and was shocked at that investment. Did they compact the ground before starting the pour?

@TheHomesteadingAvenger Ай бұрын

@ yes maam, did that’s and poured footers as well as concrete and gravel for the posts to drain

I like the concept of a bardo. I'm just not sure what happens in twenty years when all those wood posts in the ground have rotted.

@TheHomesteadingAvenger 2 ай бұрын

We put gravel underneath the post and wrapped the bottom. Guess we will see 🤷‍♂️😂

Beautiful home. Could you tell me your location and also can you provide a floor plan/layout of bedrooms,, bathroom, etc.

Any chance you could explain the type of loan you got for your house? Maybe it’s on another video I haven’t seen yet?

@TheHomesteadingAvenger Ай бұрын

I did a construction loan through my bank and then completed the financing through it on a conventional mortgage through them as well. But there were a few caveats. I can do a video detailing that soon

@joeclark2882 Ай бұрын

@@TheHomesteadingAvenger that would be really awesome. I know there can be some difficulties when It comes to the bank not seeing these buildings as a “traditional framing”

What state are you in if you don’t mind me asking and how many yards of concrete? I’m assuming you did that as well thanks a lot Subbed!

I can understand your concern. I’m not a fan of the way new houses are being thrown together so quickly either.

@royalmuslim9173 Ай бұрын

$200k is definitely not worth building it.

@TheHomesteadingAvenger Ай бұрын

@@royalmuslim9173 the price of building a regular stick frame house is $150/sq foot in our area so it kind of is here anyway 🤷‍♂️

@royalmuslim9173 Ай бұрын

@ yeah but you done a lot of the work yourself and still ended up paying $84 a sqft whereas if you done a traditional home and still done as much work as you did it would come out about the same. Don’t get me wrong I’ve been looking into it myself because it’s portrayed as a cheaper alternative but as you dig into it it’s truly no different. So the $150 estimate isn’t accurate because you could save some money on that doing it yourself. But thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge of it.

@TheHomesteadingAvenger Ай бұрын

@ no prob. Keep in mind I paid my brother to help as well and that’s factored in the cost. So if I had someone else take my place I probably would say it would have been $20-25k in labor ish. So still not tooo bad but I understand your point.

Insurance for a traditional is higher also
