1600 sqft Shell-Only Urban Barnhouse Barndominium Tour | Texas Best Construction

[@idahocartel]

Hope you show more of the progress and final walkthrough of this project! It’s close to the build I will be doing in Idaho

[@TexasBestBarndominium]

Will come back for sure. We always will have the final product tour as well. Thank you

[@annscott900]

Definitely agree with the extra window flashing to prevent leaks. I really like this plan.

[@TexasBestBarndominium]

Yep just in time right! 🤠🤩

Another nice build Josh!

[@TexasBestBarndominium]

Thank you!

[@alantittle299]

I will flip my windows to the back for a lake view and hope to multiply them under the high pitch of the single slope roof. I will pair down my prior on line estimate of sq. ft. and once in the budget ball park present conventional and unique window concepts for you to evaluate as go or no go. I think my favorite idea will work well under a single slope roof. Now to finish the video, I am so excited to see new window flashings which will be a major detail to review for highest reliability. I say that even with friend’s 25 year old barndo windows showing no leaks even with lots of exposed caulk. I want to trust good details in a well executed plan to be as permanent as reasonable, just like I see you showing off ( isn’t that Texas saying, “No Brag, Just Fact”) … and low maintenance, easy maintenance.

[@TexasBestBarndominium]

That’s right Alan! I think you’ll like this for the shop details on windows

This is the EXACT barndo I want built slope and all😮 its very nice

[@pedrocaballero1497]

Hopefully we can get to see the finished product. It appears to be headed in a very good direction.

[@TexasBestBarndominium]

Absolutely. Tour video will come at the end. We will probably stop in on this project a couple more times along the way as well.

[@djuell01]

I love the single slops, I would do more passive heating and cooling with them making sure that you can open the upper windows to get the air moving out. Plus longer overhangs.

[@TexasBestBarndominium]

Sure absolutely. Not a bad way to think at all! Thanks

This is the style we like the most just a 3 bedroom.

[@TexasBestBarndominium]

Absolutely 👍

[@christinacorriher1130]

We’re looking to do this exact floor plan in NC but like an enclosed porch on the side and cedar posts and garage extended out for a drive thru from front to back. Was planning on black siding and charcoal trim but like this burnished look too. Trim with black and may look good that way too.

[@TexasBestBarndominium]

I think would look very good either way. When we finish the pergola style cedar porch on this one I think going to have a pretty neat effect as well.

[@thomasrozier7949]

Nc here. How are you getting started? I haven't had any luck finding away to get one built.

[@christinacorriher1130]

@@thomasrozier7949 we just went to R & R Iron works in Morganton area and met with them on the shell but they have Carolina Builders to do the rest of the work. We haven’t started building because we are waiting on sale of other piece of land.

[@davidmyre965]

LOVE this design. Is the roof strong enough to be walked on or have solar panels attached to? Is it best to have those installed before/after the closed cell insulation?

[@TexasBestBarndominium]

It’s easily strong enough for that. Ours are more ready for that type of deal than most conventional frame. I would recommend doing that before spray foam if it was over the living area.

[@joemclaughlin8106]

What are your thoughts on advanced framing? I’ve recently learned about it and it seems like it would save lumber costs.

[@TexasBestBarndominium]

In some ways the Barndominium is advanced framing already. We could go to 2’ spacing with our walls if we wanted as well. I like advanced framing though to answer your question. Smart way to build.

[@joemclaughlin8106]

@@TexasBestBarndominium thanks for the quick reply. I’m hoping to build my own house in the future. And that seemed to be a way to save a little money as well as building a barndominium. Also from what I understand a single slope roof can save some money. Plus a single slope roof works well with a passive solar design.

[@TexasBestBarndominium]

@@joemclaughlin8106 I suppose you could expect to save a few dollars on a single slope, we haven’t experienced the savings part. But you are eliminating a little bit of trim and gutters. A little less main steel but mostly pretty typical to normal. Not enough to be the main reason in my opinion to go single slope

[@joemclaughlin8106]

@@TexasBestBarndominium thank you for your expertise on that. It’s just something I read about once but I also have always like the single slope look.

[@cbsdesignscbs386]

this is great. can you tell me why you don't use the zip under the metal roofing. I would think it would be better for the closed cell insulation to be attached to it rather than the metal?

[@TexasBestBarndominium]

In terms of adhering there is no problem spraying the metal with closed cell foam. In our area this is a great way to prevent condensation and then have the preventative measures against conduction. Adding the deck above the roof is great just would mean added cost with additional framing needed as well as the expense of the deck board. If the client is willing to go the distance we are not against that method.

[@TammeBell]

Can you add a back porch all the way across. Part screened in?

[@TexasBestBarndominium]

Absolutely. Easily done

[@dewaynegarrett8382]

Nice

[@BO-mb8rr]

Instead of the 12ft to 18ft single slope on this house could you instead go with a 14ft to 20ft single slope or 14ft to 22ft slope?

[@mattbrew11]

Whats the longest span on a single slop that you can do and can that slope be reversed for the shop portion?

[@TexasBestBarndominium]

Anything can be done according to engineering and material specifications. Steel we can make the beams thicker and bigger to create some of the largest spans. We’ve used 12-14” beams to go 60’ pretty routinely though.

[@mattbrew11]

@@TexasBestBarndominium awesome. Reason I asked is id like to work in a second story on the tall side for a game room/storage.

[@keekeemyfirstcat8410]

single slope is less expensive than the typical barndo roof?

[@claytonbruner1808]

With that amount of roof and slope I'm surprised those downspouts wouldn't be tied to a cistern system. Make use of all that rain collection square footage.

Hope they are spray foaming

@@TexasBestBarndominium Tried that before asking. I dont live in your area, so materials pkg is all I could figure, and the cost on that is prohibitive. Cant you just tell the audience what this one cost, as it stands? I dont see what the big secret is...

[@TexasBestBarndominium]

@@this_is_stupid-x3b not a big secret. It’s our clients information to share how much they are spending. Our obligation for price is to them. We only share these projects to show the process not to elicit a sale. How often do most people go around telling others how much they paid for their house?

[@cade8986]

Why such a steep angle on the roof? Without much snow and no leaves, I would think a shallow one would make more sense and look better

[@cade8986]

May be more appropriate with standing seam roofing

IF this was 2-3 story tall with way more window's for natural sunlight I would be all over this
