HI Aaron, just found out your channel, what an amazing construction. I would like to ask you how much did you spent on the framing of the house, if its ok for you. Keep up the good work

[@offgridburbia]

Thanks Diogo! I've been meaning to publish my expenses. Here's a summary of the framing costs: Main Cabin: Structural Framing Timbers and Rafters: $9000 Non-Structural Framing Lumber: $ 2200 Roof Decking: $5000 Sub Floor Materials: $2000 Porch: Structural Framing Timbers, Rafters and Roof Decking: $5300 Foundation and Floor: $3000

Thanks for showing us. Question, how was the plywood on top of the double layer of foam insulation secured?

[@offgridburbia]

I got 8" screws from the roofing supplier that sold me the insulation.

Was the decking 1 x material? Joists look like 2 x 6?

[@offgridburbia]

The decking is 5/4 inch and the joists are 2x6s

[@gary24752]

No metal hangers for the joists?

[@offgridburbia]

I toe nailed the joists in position and then came back and installed metal hangers.

Do you get deep frost ? If not, great. If you get 36” deep ground freezing I hope that you took that into consideration. Terrible vieo. Unable to see or check building methods.For instance did you use joist hangers to secure the joists ? Best to stagger deck flooring across corners.

[@offgridburbia]

Frost heaving is definitely something to take into consideration in cold climates. We're building in central Texas where the frost line is somewhere in around 6". This video series is more documentation of the whole build process rather than detailed how to videos. House improvements has a really good deck building series: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXeblox7YsZ7f80

Wondering why you didn't go with 2 x 8 joists and ledger board .

[@offgridburbia]

@@hap5215 I had limited ground clearance on the upper slope side and 2x6s very adequate according to the joist span table I used www.southernpine.com/app/uploads/SPtable4_060113.pdf The deck is 8' wide with a 6" cantilever so the inside to inside span measurement is about 7' 3". I was using #2 Southern Yellow Pine joists on 16" centers.
