When we put our barn up, they put a vapor barrier on the metal with bubble wrap so I’m sure you could rectify the condensation problem with bubble wrap. They sell it in 4‘ x 200‘ rolls down here.
I'll have to look into that. It is a challenge I wasn't expecting. I think I'm going to have to put gutters on as well to keep some moisture out of the soil
@MinuteontheMountain thanks so much for the encouragement! It has been exactly what we were hoping for, but we've got a lot to learn about starting a new better life. Keep the great minutes coming, they are very inspiring!
The best way to fix the condensation issue permanently is sprayed on insulation. Not cheap but I tried in my truck shell and I can camp without waking up wet now
@Marius_vanderLubbe for true. I'm not very good at the simple life yet. Since it rains 250+ days a year here, dry space is a premium sobthe shop will give me someplace to build the house out the rain, but I probably overdid it on the size. I've been living the modern consumer driven life so long changing my mindset has been way harder than I ever expected. Appreciate the input
@@mikeh5896 she certainly is very unreasonable 🤣 but in the end, I suppose it is a small price to pay for a woman that will move to AK with me... thanks for the heads up. I'll try to prepare myself mentally 😃
That's a great question . We built the cabin inside a shipping container in 2021 when we lived in UT and then shipped it to AK. The plan is to live in it for a year or so while we build the house. Because it rains so much here, the plan is to build the house inside the shop and then assemble it when the weather is good. If the shipping container cabin proves too small we will build a temporary living quarters in the shop. We decided to build a porch on the front of the shipping container cabin before winter so we would have a place to take off wet clothes and a place for a wood stove to dry everything out. Trying to choose the right order to build things has been more difficult than I thought🤣
@OpenAirAdventure I'm sure it won't stay gone long🤣. I was actually surprised how straight it stayed. With zero drying I expected some warping. Most of the stamped boards at home depot would end up in my burn pile and I'm not really even that picky...
Amazing progress your place is coming together. I can't wait to see your place when it's done. 💯👍
@@slabslayers you've been having some good times yourself. Can't wait to see what's coming nexr
Love your shop! That is a blessing to have a place to work out of the weather. See you next week.
@@Forest_Actual looking forward to it! Hope you have a great weekend

@ yeah I agree with that as well. Best to keep the water away from the building as much as possible.
@fatefarmspa always good to have a source of fresh water as well. Many of my neighbors run their house off of rain water
Thanks for taking us along
@@ShadowMoonFarms making the videos has been way more fun than anticipated
I'm sure the pace seems slow sometimes, but you sure have accomplished a lot. Keep up the good work.

@@FishfearmeStudios thats a good thought. I'll have to look into it
Looks amazing. Subbed
@@Mainelyoffgrid glad you could stop by!
Wants the simpler life so builds a massive structure.

Walls, roof, windows, and now a door? You do know... insulation, wallboard, and heat is just around the corner.

Asking a little much for a Door isn’t she? 😂
No end to her demands apparently 🤣
@ never 😭🤣
Evening Jarod. You lost 20 lbs and I found it. Nothing wrong with your lumber by the look of things. Government stamped lumber is a joke.
