- This is NOT your standard Arched Cabin assembly video!
We give you a good overview of what assembling your arched cabin house kit will look like. There's so much information that we have for you, I'll be posting another video with some Q&A next week as well. Please check out Bunny Butt Acres on RUclips as both Rikki and Greg are such a wealth of knowledge and think so well outside the box on creative solutions. It was an absolute pleasure to work with them both.
I have a full update on the blog with the complete list of tools and fasteners we used, along with more info on what we would do the same and what we would do differently.

Where did u buy your land because I am looking for land to buy like what u have
..
Don't be afraid to cut the bottom inch off a drill bit if it's too long and flexy. Use a chuck drill and you can use custom shirt drill bits
Regarding screws and pre drilling and breaking screws.
Elco Dril-Flex self-drilling screws would go through that gauge steel like butter
There’s shear and pullout charts online and come a variety of sizes / threading/ lengths. Prob 1/4-20. …threading depends on thickness steel you’re drilling into.
Additionally
Would suggest predrilling clear holes in the arch tube female part before installing in place, then run your dril-flex screw.
A 1/4-20 screw would need a .266 DIA clear hole….or Drill Size H
Thank you so much! This is all wonderful info. ❤️❤️
I'm only about halfway through your video. That's a lot of work. All the other videos I've watched of putting arched cabins together were completely different assembly. Glad y'all got it done.
A crane is definitely helpful and if you put together one side of it first, you can probably find a local person with a crane and get away with it for under $200
Thank you!
Thanks for taking the time to make the video. But I have one serious safety concern when picking up the arch a piece of equipment is needed to pick the arch straight up. Pulling the arch up puts incredible strain on the bottom where it is attached to the deck. Also the pulling bows the center beam. I would have spent the money ($250 to $350) rented a Sky Trac for the day to be able to pick this thing up safely without pulling on it. Straight up would be best and safest.
Every time you do something for the first time there is alway a learning curve. You folks did a nice job. Thanks for sharing.
❤️❤️
Thank you so much for taking the time to document your build. So informative
Thank you for the videos. I’m a little behind you but preparing for my Arched Cabin delivery on June 1st. Documenting my journey as well and have my piers completed and about to begin the subfloor. Your videos have helped me to know what to expect, so grateful
Congrats on getting your build started! I'm so excited for you!
LOVE THE SHOW GUYS!! AND SHAPE OF YOUR HOME IS KOOL!!! AND THE VIEW IS AWSOME!!!
Thank you ❤️
It was so great to meet you and help with the build before ours comes!
We are eternally grateful for your assistance and your knowledge, wisdom, and innovative thinking. Y’all are awesome!
@@LazyAHoleRanch We had a blast! Can't wait to have you down for a visit... and maybe a hand when we put our kit up! tee hee
We are using scaffolding instead of ladders. Great video...gonna keep following. Ya'll are very thorough 🤘😎😊
A wise choice! We took a massive hiatus but are planning on doing some framing and getting it dried in over the next few months. We might rent a bucket for the roofing.
Oh my gosh this is SO cool. Thank you for sharing this process!!
Thank you. I’m just happy to be of service ❤️
I'm so glad this was the newest episode!
It looks fantastic, I can't wait to see further progress!
Next week will be a more step by step version of this with more info on the process ❤️❤️
Wow, thank you for the insight. Definitely a learning curve. Might have to hire you all to build them now that you got it down to an art-lol. Very informative-appreciate the details of what worked and what didn’t.
Glad I could help someone get some info from our experiences ❤️
Me. A lone female thinking I can do this solo. Talk about a slap to reality😌✌🏽. Imma have to save up for the help.
You know, it definitely has its moments. 100% solo? There are parts where you'll for sure want someone else to assist, just for safety. It's definitely been daunting as hell, especially for a bundle of anxiety like I tend to be LOL. But in the end, every moment of that has been so worth it. This experience of learning how to do all of this has been so empowering and uplifting in general. I was talking with my friend a few months ago about how I couldn't even stand up to use a shovel when I started all of this, and now I'm carrying beams around and framing. If you really want to do this, and I'm able to get to wherever you are, I'll happily scrub in and help you. I see the little arched cabin owners like a little community of enthusiasts. Something like the VW Bus or the Jeep crowd. Will there be horrible moments? Hell yes, but I really believe that we can all be empowered to make things happen for ourselves.
@@LazyAHoleRanch Thanks for sharing your journey. I'm looking around to see if there are any arched cabin builds in the area that I can volunteer on. (For more hands on experience.) I built out a van to live in by myself ( lived in it for 2 years) so i figured why not a tiny home? I'm located in LA. Im looking into Kern County zoning and building code for my arched cabin build.. (Commute 2hrs for my entire-weekend shifts in the city) But yeah I am 100% solo. I figured going onto angies list for extra hands when the time comes. But it wont be for like 4 years. Just good to know my limitations, and your videos have helped me realize them. Please keep sharing, I've been following arched cabins since before living vanlife. To see a community grow over the years has me EXCITED.
So...Did you get yours built?
My two favorite quotes from this are as follows... *Go nads and strife" and also " Riiiiicoooolaaaaaaaa". 🤣 Well done on the mini house this is goals for soon future for sure 😊
So proud of all of you with great info..
Thank you!
i'm still getting caught up, thank you so much for documenting this! yall are gonna hit 1k in no time!
It's been so going, but we really appreciate the support of everyone
That was awesome. BEST. ENDING. EVER.
😂😂
5:22 - having seen how much force was required to bend the ribs to get them onto the ridge pole, I probably would brace about 1-2in further out. then once the ribs are all loosely fitted into position, tighten the bracing (like by adding a few new pieces tighter to the joists) to bring the ribs and ridge together before adding fasteners 👍
So excited watching this. Almost ready to pour our concrete for our pier and beam.
putting out the step by step video in just a few minutes! Just finishing up some comment section and description stuff now!
@@LazyAHoleRanch thank you we have out holes dug. Road base in the bottom. Almost ready to pour our concrete.
@@LazyAHoleRanch we really do love your videos. Me and my wife need all the help we can get. Between work and two boys 6 and 4. It's hard but we are doing it.
Nicely done !
Thanks! Slowly getting there!
Hard to tell, but when the self-tappers kept snapping, it looks like maybe they were too long. If so, I bet they were bottoming out on the other side of the square tube, and that wouldn't allow the screw to keep going, causing the heads to twist and snap. Switching to the shorter 1-1/2" size was a good idea. 1" probably would have even been long enough. Thanks for sharing this video. Contemplating getting one of these myself for my property, so all this information is helpful!
That is definitely a possibility! Something to keep in mind for future portions with the self tappers.
Love It Great Job
Thank you ❤️❤️
OSHA literally just fell out of there seats at you guys working under that hanging steel wall end!!!! lol Great work.....YOLO
Hahahaha sometimes in life you just have to throw caution to the wind.
Interesting concept.
They are fun little buildings!
This pretty cool❤
Hi. It's a fantastic structure for a countryside cabin. Would you mind in sharing the different measuments of those steel bars used please. Regards from Valdivia, Chile
Will you need bracing between each arch support? It looks like it needs more framing. Windgust, updraft plus straight-line winds have they been put through the test?
Once you put those floor joists in for the loft, that’s going to do just that. I know they’ve been built in hurricane zones, and it’s handled some pretty intense wind up here thus far.
Amazin! Love your foundation idea instead of a slab! Curiuous exactly how you did it? How did you anchor the floor frame to the ground/Foundation?
I fabricated and welded some “clips” to the beams using I think 1 1/2-2” angle iron with a couple of holes drilled into them. Here’s a link to the video where I did all that if that helps. ruclips.net/video/en6XUJp5Yzo/видео.html
Cutting oil or even WD-40 on self tappers will make a world of difference. Glide right in.
We will try that on the loft joists. Thank you!
You saying you're done is funny because it is a long way from done, enjoy the journey!!!!
🤣🤣 well yeah but as far as standing the kit up goes. That was a moment ❤️ framing this weeeeeeeeek ❤️❤️
Great video..,.glad u got this far. I wrote u before about insulation. I ant to use 2x10 in the floor to put an 8 inch batt in the floor either mineral wool or paper....,the walls and ceiling wood be 8 inch bats from the floor over the top to the other floor. What are the spaces between the ribs 24 inch? How can you hang bats between the ribs use a net or wires? .....I contacted rock wool company but they never got back to me. I have a suggestion for u. To finish the interior I was going to use ship board on the straight walls and thin plywood where the walls curve. I read that there is a lot of free wood if u scrounge pallets. The pallets can be disassembled.....sanded.....cut to uniform length and installed on the walls........!!!!!! One thing tho. Ship lap has an edge killed to allow the boards to lock when they are stacked horizontally. Also the killed edge allows for a uniform gap between the planks and acts as a moisture shield so water from say a bathroom.....any hi humidity are does not go behind your all into the insulation. So if u use the pallet wood u need to rip this edge on the board or else put a moisture barrier under the boards and use spacers between the boards before u nail them. What do u think about the pallet wood? Appreciate help re the insulation. Also what about a one inch bat across the outside of the ribs under the siding? This layer would eliminate thermal bridging.......thru the ribs into the house!.....let me know.....regards a. Barbuto......barbuto@optonline.net.
Sorry I just saw this message. Well the kit comes with some insulation, so you put that down between the roof panels and the ribs. I’m not sure that you could fit anything else between the ribs and panels without causing issues. The ribs are 24” apart. I’m not sure on the boards either. That’s all Mike’s domain on this. Not sure how we want to finish the interior yet. Mike says there are 24” bats of rock wool so that would work. He says maybe a layer inside between ribs and whatever you are putting on the walls, but he doesn’t think you would be able to between roof panels and ribs because those screws are 3/4”
Hi. It's me again. If the bows are 2" x 2", what are the measurements of the short irons where they are embedded? And what size is the beam on the top?
ok but i bout had a heart attack at 13:00 😲 hard hats? keep clear! 😱 omg 14:49, i may be too faint of heart for this one lol
Yeah, lessons were learned. HAHA
Gostei muito, farei uma casa assim.
é uma casinha divertida!
I would love to do this I wonder if you have a guide book or something to help us cause you learn so much. Did you have a Permit and those kinds of things to navigate?
I don’t have a guide book, but we periodically update a blog as we go with costs and such. You can find it at lazyaholeranch.com
IF YOU cut a 2x4 to the right length, you can put it under the MIDDLE of the arched tube and the end should just pop in !,, TRY IT
That's a great idea to try! Thank you
@@LazyAHoleRanch LOT EASIER than using a human body to do the same thing ! I saw them straining like hell and thought, there has to be a better way !
I want one of these
@Lazy A-Hole Ranch What is the name of the music playing in the beginning of the video?
I’m sorry, but it’s been a couple of years so I have no idea. I know that it was part of the free music library on RUclips at that time because that was where I used to go for my music.
Could you please tell me what is the dimension of the steel "ribs"? LxlxH + diameter on the inside and the outside?
It’s 2” square tube. Not sure of wall thickness or any of that at this point. It’s definitely going to depend on the size of the cabin you get. I would check with maybe Bunny Butt Acres since they have easier access to take that measurement. Since our stuff is together, it’s a little challenging to grab that measurement.
How are these temperature wise are they warm in winter and cool in summer? Do they need to be heavily insulated?
We have code requirements for R value. We intend to spray foam the interior, not sure whether or not we’ll use the insulation we got with it, or if we do it will be after the spray foam. It’s not done yet so I can give insight as to how it will do as far as a tight seal but the spray foam should keep it water tight and well insulated
Nice reference to some classic Three Brain 20:19
😂😂❤️
would u talk about how connecting up to electric and sewer went and the cost to do so? thinking about going this route
If you visit the blog on our website I have a post about the power. Sewer is septic here,and that was in place when we got here so our only septic cost has been for a couple of repairs when a pipe was hit excavating In the driveway, and some pipe to run from the tank to where the house will be. HTTPS://lazyaholeranch.com click on blog and then look for the post about power. It will be likely 2018 or 2019 for that. I believe it will be November. (Pretty sure it’s 2018)
Here’s a link to a video where we touched on the power drop
ruclips.net/video/KF-1Y0oWl9c/видео.html
Nice video. Nice house! Did you find your own architect to submit plans to the county
Yes. We bought their basic plans, but did need to hire an architect to complete several drawings in order to make those plans complete for the local building department
I would love to do this and I would like to know from you if you had experienced people or you felt like you needed to have someone with building experience on the team? Also did you need a permit? How did you navigate the permit?
Mike is fairly handy, so that has been very helpful and I’m just learning as I go. The house kit itself wasn’t bad to put together and took us an afternoon with 3 1/2 people (I mostly filmed)
Had to get a permit, oh my god that was a mess lol. A lady at the permit office helped me sort out what I needed. Had to hire an architect to finish out the floor plans, but arched cabins also has an engineering firm they work with who can help do those plans. Our planning office actually had a checklist of what we’d need to file the permit. I would start with your county office and see if there’s anyone willing to just take some time to answer questions. They’ve been super nice here every time I’ve called to clarify this or that.
Do you have a video on how you built your foundation and subfloor?
Here is the best place to start for the foundation stuff. ruclips.net/video/qo8zOgxN9fw/видео.html

Cobalt bits are significantly better than the the titanium bits . Trust me I use them every day.
Thanks Mike for sharing that.
What about a lazy-a-hole?
damn. that looks hard af to assemble by urself! how'd you find all those builders?
Greg and Rikki wanted to put their hands on one before building their own (they are Bunny Butt Acres here on RUclips) and Bob is a friend and contractor that’s been working next door. He just happened to show up while we were assembling and jumped in. I have started a Facebook group as well as a Reddit group called Arched Cabin Builds to encourage people to scrub in and help each other with their builds. I’m planning on going to NM in April to help Bunny Butt Acres assemble their kit.
And honestly once you figure out the pivot point on the ribs, it’s really not too bad to stab them in with two people.
I like your ranch name.
Haha thanks! ❤️
Buy a bunch of bits for pilot holes and some tapmagic
This build proves that brute force can make up for smart thinking
I'm just glad to be living our dream, and out here doing the work. I look forward to seeing your project come together. Have an amazing day!
I was seriously holding my breath and cringing watching y'all stand under that center beam that was being held up by the bucket with strapping, while screwing in the bracing for the other side. And again when watching the first side dangling precariously from the wench!! OSHA would croke watching y'all put that together!! Screwing in the second side bottom bracing before assembling the first side seems like a better idea. You could lay 2x6s on the top of the pegs and set the center beam on that, which would have given it a bit more height and made it a little easier to put the first side together. But you DEFINITELY should have used some long kickers and cross braces to hold that first side up while assembling the second side. If that strap or wench failed, somebody would be dead. Glad it all worked out for you in the end. We will be assembling a couple of these in the next year or so for our oldest sons. Thanks for sharing your process!

Welcome!
What is the section of the ribs?
If you’re wondering what the ribs are made of it is 2” square tube. Might be about 14 or 16 gauge steel.
22:18
Thanks for the sudden loud screaming.
glad to be of seervice!
Interesting
Always!
What's the length and width of one rib?
They are 2" square tube, and I'm sorry I don't know the overall length. I can tell you that the total height of the cabins are as follows according to their FAQ.
Q. What is the height of an Arched Cabin?
A. The 8' wide Arched Cabin is 8' tall, the 12' wide Arched Cabin is 10' tall, the tall 12' wide Arched Cabin is 12' tall, the 14' wide Arched Cabin is 12' tall, the 16' wide is 14'6" tall, the 20' wide is 17'4" tall, the 24' is 18'8" tall, and the 30' wide is 17'4" tall. All these heights are to the top of the ridge beam which is 4" thick.
@@LazyAHoleRanch Ah, I see. Thank you so much for responding with this info. Seriously thinking about buying one of these.
How long fid it take
An afternoon
You really should've welded those joints where the beams meet, great video and fun watching though.
You mean instead of the self tapping screws? That's all per the kit instructions.
I actually asked Arched Cabins about this. This was their response:
Welding vs. using self tappers is the same as far as structural integrity because the stubs that the ribs slide over are welded. You can weld them if you want, but it's just more time consuming.
@@bunnybuttacres I genuinely just thought that welding was better for integrity. I didn't mean to come off rude or anything if I did. I love this cabins and these videos are so cool, best of the luck with your building!
@@tyrtle7081 Not taken as rude at all. It's something that was discussed while we built the one in this ep. And I was curious myself since there's already so much welding involved, it was a logical question to ask.
tell us more about the rabbit
follow the rabbit
Is the floor made of steel I-beans ?
There’s a post and pier foundation with I beams on top, and then we put the floor joists, rim joists, and subfloor on top of the ibeams. We made a bunch of brackets to attach those floor joists to the beams and welded those brackets to the ibeams.
@@LazyAHoleRanch solid
***tractor supply self-tapping screws are far better quality than whatever is available at Lowes or home Depot..
(Lol, y'all just mentioned the crap screws were from Lowes as I was typing that comment)
lol we got the good ones at Ace, but I’ll start checking the ones at tractor supply too!
@@LazyAHoleRanch they're also cheaper on galvanized bolts and hardware than the 2 big guys..
Why weren't those pre drilled out?!
They just don’t come that way.
i did not get the size of this cabin
20 x 32
👍👍응원합니다 👍👍🇰🇷
감사 해요. ❤️❤️
DIY metal drill?
14:50 man y'all are crazy lucky that entire thing didn't fall on one of you!
That was definitely a moment!
Ok. That ended weirdly!
how so?
@@LazyAHoleRanch You are kidding right?
🤪🤪ha sorry sometimes my sense of humor is a little dry 🤪🤪
It's all good. You are a little kooky.
From Arty dabirnia
Ary is the best! We just adore him ❤️❤️
You have to center punch it? Wow can't believe u don't know that
?
Why wasn't everything pre-drilled? Am I missing something? Arched Cabins claims how they do this to make it easy. This is ridiculously easy for Arched Cabins to do. So why not do it?!? The home owner shouldn't have to do this, a major pain and massive time waster!
yeah there's no pre-drilling. All very DIY.
Yeah they do claim it's pop up and go...obviously not. For 12-15 grand your not getting much
It's not that hard
are you kidding? that's not a very difficult task
Stop whining and drill
Too much fighting the rib. Just put one C- Clamp on each end of the rib.... Come along to tension/bow the rib and there's your dinner.
Once you find that pivot point they pop right in as well!
I'm sorry....all was well...until!!???????
Eh stuff happens
Interesting video, the arch was cool, the safety harness was not, it was miss leading, to use a harness to a rope that the other end is wrapped around then arm of a person is wrong, if a fall happened both would have been badly hurt, the rope should have been secured to an anchor attached to the structure. Next item at the end your in the harness being hoisted, you do know that can result in death from suspension death, the blood goes into your legs and the harness prevents to from leaving your legs.. please google suspension trauma
Really can’t stand that camera ham!! She never stops
Hey, I enjoy my life, and I’m just going to keep doing that! 😂❤️ and hey, I hope your day is awesome and you find something to laugh at.
Jesus Christ!!, someone's gonna die on this jobsite.
We could all die at any moment.
Professional need to be on that job for sure. It doesn't look stable at all. The tubes don't cover much. It is a horrible project. Wanting a kit and happy is okay but have these structures passed any stress test?
Not safe for cute puppy
Wow .. look very confused. These are easy to build.. compared to a steel span ..
Like watching a train wreck in slower motion.....
You’re so sensitive. Maybe you need a thicker skin.
I was like oh cool and then I seen the blue hair we all know what that stands for. I'm out I can't support people who want to destroy the country that they live in.
😂 something about judging books by covers. Just because one enjoys colorful hair does not mean one agrees with everything that others with colorful hair are into. It just means I like colorful hair. I will say though that I just think people should be left alone to do what they want if they aren’t hurting anyone else. I don’t think there’s needs to be a law for every little freaking thing. Mike likes pew pews, you’ll see one in many of our videos, and we live in a rural area. Away from people. Because people are peopley. So you can hate the hair all you want. It’s just hair and it doesn’t stand for anything other than I’m currently digging on the color purple. (Blue when I made this video)
Yeah I understand where you're coming from.
You are failing to realize the atmosphere that you are a part of. You seem to be very nice by your reply.
The people with the blue hair are part of a political ideology regime .
So basically you're guilty of wearing gang colors and you're not even in a gang. Do you know what I mean.
Most of these people describe to a lifestyle that I despise and goes against the good Lord.
My advice to you is to know your surroundings and know what is the so-called uniform of certain ideological occult.
So basically you're just asking for trouble and you don't even know it. You best wise up to the ways of the world and choose a side. You are not pardoned by your ignorance of unwritten rules of today's society. And then you're going to say I'm judging a book by its cover when you are purposely changing that cover to make a statement that's pretty hypocritical in itself right there another lesson you need to learn. All I can say is good luck it seems as if you're really going to need it when it comes to common Sense.
Get the right training before you suggest the proper fasteners.... never blame the tool.....these videos mock the years of work I've put in to my trade.....building everything all that people use everyday to live and keep society thriving....from start of life to the end....please respect the true workers.... not the attention seeking wanna bes.....
Do stuff.....ask for educated people to teach you!
Then get out there and teach. I’m here to learn.
What kind of comment is this actually? I mean seriously. This is a kit that people buy to learn to build it. It’s supposed to be simple. If they wanted a general contractor, they would’ve got a general contractor.
