I would like to get a list of your preferred lenders

Would have liked to see the bathrooms and 4th bedroom since it was a different layout than the other 3. Also, sound quality was not great.

Домик хорошего дизайна😊. Но в условиях России печь располагается посередине большой комнаты топкой к входной двери 😂.

@stonemilllogtimberhomes772 I was about to pull the trigger on encapsulating my crawl space but....I have a big rat problem in my crawl space. ALL of the insulation and vapor barrier were just removed and I am trying to decide which method to use for finishing up. Leave it uninsulated with no vapor barrier, reinstall fiberglass on the subfloor and ducts, spray foam on ducts and sub-floor or ENCAPSULATION (twice as much)$$$. A Pest Control company was just here and said Encapsulation is great for everything EXCEPT pests. The thick plastic sealed Vapor Barrier area prevents pest control people from seeing, termites, rodents, and bugs because they get under it and nest or burrow in places you cannot see. They can't inspect just below the mudline or under the vapor barrier. So, he's one guy saying don't do it. I don't see how he would be biased because it doesn't change as I have to have a pest control program no matter what. He could be wrong though but it seems reasonable. Also, he said he could not guarantee successful pest control with encapsulation. I just talked to my Insulation contractor and said yes encapsulation does make it harder for the pest control people especially if you have a rat problem. What's everyone take on this?

👍👍

Great information, thank you for sharing!

Wish you would have included outside dimensions along with inside room dimensions, plus a price.

I like this layout and, if I could afford it, I would probably put near the top of my wish list. There are a couple of changes I would want. I would want a small island in the kitchen instead of that peninsula. I would want a small part of the master closet to be a coat closet in the entry. I don't have that many clothes and if it's well organized, it could be smaller. I'm hoping that small room in the Master bath is a walk-in shower with a bench. If so, I would delete the tub and move the sink cabinets to that wall and add shelving where the sinks were. Is there a place for a washer and dryer?

*promosm* 👀

Oh wow

Where is the tip ??

Great topic... At Federal Savings Bank, do you have a contact you could share with us?

I'm curious about full log red cedar for a home. What are your pros and cons?

Very, very helpful!! makes me rethink the number of windows I need to build into my house.

Would you recommend white cedar for a build in the upper peninsula of Michigan? I know white cedar doesn't grow as long and straight as red cedar which could make longer logs difficult by which to come, but I'm thinking of a small cabin under 1100ft2.

Yeah, sometimes we don't know what we don't know, correct? But it really does help when homeowners do some of the legwork themselves to find out the costs of things. And if they are relying on a general contractor to help guide them, then I would definitely want that person to be experienced enough to know costs to within about 10% of the actual item's cost. Being 90% accurate or close, even 80% accurate, is so very helpful. But having an extra 10% in your pocket at the end of the day because you did a good job budgeting will definitely make you feel good. Maybe even allow you to splurge a little bit on a couple of those "want" items that you have always wanted.

Good tips Matthew.

I like the floor plan .I would, however,change the closet in the back bedroom to where the laundry room is . Then, the laundry could have a door to the outside making it serve as a mud room as well.

Hope everybody stays warm and safe.

This right where we're at. Thank you.

Looks like that crawlspace is actually pretty tall. Unless that water heater is really short. Seems like it would be almost cheaper to raise up the walls a couple of feet to get you a full heighth basement with a poured floor. Maybe it just all depends on where you're located.

Excellent animation!

Virtual lunch?

I wish you showed the interior.

Love this design

Good question. My bank told me that they want general contractors in order to lend out money. So depending on what's going on with your project and who does what, if you need to have financing, there may be specific types of people that are required before the bank will move forward.

You can always make firewood 😊

1) On-site camera: You can log in from out of state. 2) Use construction apps. Track the daily, weekly progress. Is the builder using the app. 3) Project manager services. They’ll keep track of progress for you. 4) Set weekly or biweekly meetings to learn where progress is 5) Communication. Trust is increased when there communication Great advice!

So, your saying if all things are good we're looking at a year and a half, without unforeseen delays. With delay's 2 years or more.

As always, good information. Could you do a tip on house orientation/direction with respect to solar gain and wind direction, i.e how to best orient a house and windows to maximize heat gain in winter months and minimize heat gain during the summer.

beautiful.....

Beautiful homes! We are hoping to build in Mississippi or Florida do yall build there?

Living the dream building this house! There are so many variables that the budgeting process has been almost non-existent. Sad but true.

Thanks.

All good comments.

Great video. Question, if I want to use a built up floor for the second story, would you use tongue and groove pattern 116 for the material that you would see from the first floor? And then maybe 2 x 6 tongue and groove for the flooring that is exposed from the second floor or may be three-quarter inch plywood with may be finished laminate flooring? Any advantages to either way? Just curious.

*Promo SM* 😌

Beautiful home with the view I have been searching for!

Going off the grid is always the right decision! 😊

Love this plan I wish there was more pictures of the built home

I really love your videos, as we consider options to build a home in the near future. Thank you!

We just converted a porch to a room. Doesn't work on all designs but did on the Prestwick. Enjoy your series!

💦 P R O M O S M.

Incredible. What was the estimate to build this Cumberland turn key?

Maybe the client doesn’t want to share how much their willing to spend. Unless there is a price tag on a log and the client can see that number before they share their budget, for all they know the price of the log is based on what their budget is. What’s the second step?

I LOVE IT!

Does a hybrid roof need to be vented?

Beautiful craftsmanship.

Excited about our Prestwick!!! Thank you Stonemill 😊
