My wife and I are building a house debt free this year also! I can’t believe how cheap everything is where you live! Our 5 acres of land in north Idaho was $350k. Love your channel! Keep up the good work!

Amazing and big congrats Alex and Elaina! Very insightful, inspiring and all around just great way to share with everyday folks like myself who get to learn from your story! Thank you! I did reach out on your contact page for some further details on Structural engineering/architectural setup process etc. Hope to hear back and engage on this. Once again great work and keep it going!

How far into your build are you? Thanks for sharing your cost thus far as well! Love meeting other likeminded homesteaders. For sure, take our idea and run! We love to be transparent when it comes to our project costs.

@@MasonDixonAcres our channel is a little behind. Hard to find time to edit videos with work and the build. But we have full basement in French doors walk into basement. All windows in basement and French door. First floor joists and sheathing. The rest of the lumber should be delivered this week for the rest of the exterior walls and sheathing. Using gambrel trusses for smaller second story. This price includes all permits, fees, rock for drive, anything ive put into the property that I can't necessarily take back out. Lol

I was about to say, I watched your latest video and then searched for this beginnings video. You both are engineers, hence both of you can build a home. I would love to build my own home however. I do not have an engineering degree hence i could never build it on my own.

Most builders do not have an engineering degree, or a college degree for that matter. Just use KZbin University and start with a small project progressing I to your home project. IE dog house > kid's playhouse > shed > garage > shop > house

What a steal for land! In Sacramento, that much land in the foothills would be $250,000 or more.

I can only imagine what land must cost in that area! We alway like pulling up Zillow when we are visiting other places to see how it compares!

I’m a soil scientist but work for a civil engineer and do all that work as well. In California. These prices you listed are soooooo cheap. Obviously, they don’t feel that way to you 🤣 but as you’re saying your septic, and survey, and structural pricing etc my jaw is just dropping with how much more we charge here 😅

30k for a well?!? What kind of wells are they drilling out there?? Our well video has a better breakdown of our cost there, but geez they must be charging $100/ft drilled. CA is a nice place to visit.. but hearing your comments makes us sincerely glad we don’t live there 😅

Is that driveway fabric worth it? wont it degrade in time
@MasonDixonAcres
@MasonDixonAcres 2 жыл бұрын
It's a woven plastic product, so not really unless exposed to UV. It allowed us to use a consistent stone size (2" minus) rather than the more expensive large stone base. Never have to worry about losing stone to heavy traffic over soft ground

Where did you find a skid steer for $10,000? That is unheard of cheap. And pec test for $360?!?!?!? A perc test is VA goes for $1,800 - 2,500.
@MasonDixonAcres
@MasonDixonAcres 6 ай бұрын
Skid steer was purchased from a good friend so definitely not a normal deal! The perc test fee was just for the inspector to come out, that does not include excavation. But we already had the excavation contractor onsite digging stumps and putting the driveway in, so it was a nominal addition to dig a bunch of test pits
