Loved your clients! People like that tend to win more often than lose in life. On your list of construction do's and don'ts; that finalized design being well thought out and inclusive, needing as few changes from start to finish will finish more often on time, and budget. At best, shrinking the flor plan after the foundation is in only saves the completion- the sunk cost of the foundation is already gone. Building in versatility- adding a wider or additional purlin for a porch overhang at a later date costs the few boards and will save lots of rework later. Paul, Em, Happy New Year- you closed '23 with a lot of well earned success in both of your partnerships. Bravo!
I would have put a skyway above that huge open Great room and had a 13x40 open area up there. (Walled?) The overehang over the great room would make it more intimate like a patio interior roof. But with and land & time lots of choice, but the big room????
Me telling myself I can afford this and do the work myself. Then I come to reality knowing I would start something and not finish it 😂… maybe one day!!!
Beautiful house. About those who asking about how someone so young can afford this, they either had money from family, saved money for a large down payment with not other debt, or like many Americans who live in debt and paycheck to paycheck. If they are living paycheck to paycheck and they loose their job, they are in trouble of loosing everything. Hopefully they had money or were disciplined to save a big down payment and not have credit cards, and vehicles and other dumb debt.
Is there any want to see the basic layout of this? It looks pretty darn close to what we’re wanting. Also, do you guys travel (we’re about 4 hours from you)?
Looks good I like it and I guess everyone has their design they want. But I think it is just a lot of waisted space with high ceilings in living room and in garage. I would think you could get a whole other family/ living room up there and over the garage area master bed room and master bathroom. Maybe at least 2 more bedrooms over garage area and laundry as well. Not sure if it is possible but that would be my ideal set I would like. Cause I know I always don’t want to watch what she’s watching and she probably don’t wanna always watch if im watching the game,boxing etc
Great work! How do you get to a R-60 insulation on the walls and ceiling with post frame construction. It doesnt seem viable unless you put insulation on the outside of the structure. I'm zone-5 a R-60 doesnt seem possible with post frame construction. Any insight?
These Barndo's are fantastic, but people are getting totally ripped off because of the popularity! They are the most simple (Cheapest) way to build any home. No hips, no valley's, a rectangle and minimal material and labor used to construct. A typical home build would take approximately 6 months and use many laborers to construct. A "Barndo" can be under roof with 2 men in less than two weeks! Nice looking build for sure. Prices need to come down to realistic cost's though..
The main structure can be a cost savings + very low maintenance, etc. once you get inside though you still need all of the same elements as any other house so you’re not going to find drastic price differences when looking at total cost to build.
what do you guys do with the slab, my buddy's a builder and said doing just footings the slab will hike and mess up the radiant heat. I'm looking to build in Pennsylvania
I did a stem wall/footing and am doing a slab w/radiant as well. Using 2" rigid foam around the perimeter for a thermal break keeps the slab "floating"
360k for a very simple building and you did a lot of the work yourself.. that's NOT amazing lol, that's super high. over $100/sq ft is twice the cost of most barndos..
Thinking the same thing. lol. But I guess we forget about how much that land cost for the size of it. That’s what I’m thinking is the deal breaker for being so high
I would like to know how such a young couple can afford $360k plus the land cost. Sorry I just dont get it half a million dollars doesnt buy you much now days i guess. too me its not worth it.
Dual income, both RNs and only 1 Car loan for debt. We can’t afford this, especially if plus land lol. I’m curious to know the actual breakdown as well of that 360k, plus how much land was etc.
You're assuming they paid a lot for land. I assume they are in Iowa as that's where this channel is based out of. They very well could have paid for the land outright or paid it off before building. 360k isn't far fetched with dual income with good jobs.
Affordability is super difficult but the market will likely loosen up soon. If possible, buy a house further away from a city. Typically they're way more affordable. Also watch real estate videos. There's plenty of ways to still get a house. FHA only requires 3% down. Just find something small and fix it up so you're not house poor.
These high ceilings and open floor plan designs remove all sense of coziness from the home and turn it into an echo chamber. It's a beautiful home, but I'll pass.
Almost every barndo I've seen has looked so sterile inside. Are the people who buy these things totally against artwork, pictures or adequate amounts of furniture? It almost looks like these people can barely afford to live there based on how sparse it is in there. Like they're squatting or something.
They are probably exhausted and broke for a while after going through this. I remember just being happy my project was over from the mental stress of it all (permits, financing, cost overruns, etc over the course of almost 5 years from the time I bought property) and just having my day job to deal with. I built a small house 14 yrs ago on property and did so much myself while working full time, (grading, septic, power, foundation, permits, inspections, re-roofing). I pretty much gave it six years until another major project (shop). My family has now outgrown the house we built (now have six kids) and not sure what to do about expanding due to crazy cost and i'm now in my mid 40's and no longer have the energy I did 10 yrs ago. We are also in California which adds insane permitting costs and high school fees before anything is done ($20-30k in permits/fees).
You build this huge house for people who have no imagination for design and you get boring a$$ looking living space. I don't like it. It may as well be a builder grade apartment.
That came out SO well! Great job, builders and owners! A property to be proud of for years and years to come.
They did a great job on the doors and trim , loved the choice in stain.
That's a pretty cool area under the stairs. Good shelter during a tornado warning.
A good shelter during a tornado warning would be an underground tornado shelter on the property.
I am impressed with the outcome. I have seen enough people building there own house to recognize how much work went into this.

They need a 85” tv to go with that massive couch. Too cool
meh tv's are over rated.
THATS WHAT I SAID
Wow. Love this design. Like the balcony and the open feel. Garage needs to be a little bigger, though. 🤣😉
Thanks! We’ll be launching the plan soon with a larger garage on our design site backfortybuildings.com/floor-plans/
Love to see they are Eagles fans! Great video and work! Thanks for sharing!

Great work 👏🏽

how much for this bulding without all the interior furniture? just empty place?
Beautiful home nice job.
Love it !!
Is it hard keeping your garage warm or cool ?
Can we do this with brick? I'm in Florida and I love the idea, just can't use wood sides.
Nice layout ! Nice home ! Should have gone 1 bay longer on garage ( he was going to say it), hahah.
Does that $360k number include well and septic or the land or is that just the build?

This is another fantastic video! What drone do you use?
Currently using the DJI Mavic 3
Is there any want to see the basic layout of this? It looks pretty darn close to what we’re wanting. Also, do you guys travel (we’re about 4 hours from you)?
If when you are building you use Zip sheathing and zip tape you wont have that moisture and condensation issue you were talking about.
We don’t have moisture and condensation because we use 3” of closed cell spray foam.
What is the coat breakdown for the shell?
220k
@@MeltingRubberZ28so it was 360 plus 220?
@Shaniquashanaynayjones no I think just the shell, concrete, etc was 220. Must have therefore been another 140 to finish the inside.
I like the couch. What is this couch? Can you post a link please?
Looks good I like it and I guess everyone has their design they want. But I think it is just a lot of waisted space with high ceilings in living room and in garage. I would think you could get a whole other family/ living room up there and over the garage area master bed room and master bathroom.

Cause I know I always don’t want to watch what she’s watching and she probably don’t wanna always watch if im watching the game,boxing etc
I always hear a lot of people with rooms over garages complain about about garage door noise, maybe that was a reason they didn’t add to it ?
Great work! How do you get to a R-60 insulation on the walls and ceiling with post frame construction. It doesnt seem viable unless you put insulation on the outside of the structure. I'm zone-5 a R-60 doesnt seem possible with post frame construction. Any insight?
R21 in walls and R60 in ceiling. 3” of spray foam and then we blow-in insulation in the attic/ceiling.
I wanna see another tour now that they have had 6 months to finish the house
Were those polished concrete floors? They look nice 😊
No the client used a sealer on them which is much more cost effective than polishing
the amount of sweat equity here is crazy. That has to apraise in 600 range.
Barndo's don't appraise as high as traditional construction homes.
This might be a dumb question but is there an alternative to a slab floor in a barndo? Or would that just drive up the cost too much?
we're doing a slab but putting flooring over it to avoid the concrete look
These Barndo's are fantastic, but people are getting totally ripped off because of the popularity! They are the most simple (Cheapest) way to build any home. No hips, no valley's, a rectangle and minimal material and labor used to construct.
A typical home build would take approximately 6 months and use many laborers to construct. A "Barndo" can be under roof with 2 men in less than two weeks!

The echo would drive me nuts especially with kids and animals. They did a great job but the cost is still way too high for me.
Thanks for watching!
what do you guys do with the slab, my buddy's a builder and said doing just footings the slab will hike and mess up the radiant heat. I'm looking to build in Pennsylvania
I did a stem wall/footing and am doing a slab w/radiant as well. Using 2" rigid foam around the perimeter for a thermal break keeps the slab "floating"
Need sound ceiling baffles
So realistically, They'd be looking at 425-450k if they didn't do any of the work themselves. Still not bad at all for what they've got now.
Nice, but they really need a fire place on the main floor....
They can add one down the road!
That electric box right outside the front door would piss me off
Can you get away with just the in floor radiant heat for heating and not include hvac if a home like this is only single story? Thanks.
Heavily doubt it
Well now at this point that would cost around 500/600k
Why can’t anyone get an answer to the shell cost?
He has a cost breakdown video for this build
220k

they need to put some sod down and plant some trees.
sounded echo eee
What’s the best way to dampen the echo in a space like that? Area rugs? Or do things need to be added to the walls?
I would like to know how such a young couple can afford $360k plus the land cost. Sorry I just dont get it half a million dollars doesnt buy you much now days i guess. too me its not worth it.

Nothing against them I'm so glad they built a nice house my beef is with the cost of housing. Do you think it's really worth half a million dollars
You're assuming they paid a lot for land. I assume they are in Iowa as that's where this channel is based out of. They very well could have paid for the land outright or paid it off before building. 360k isn't far fetched with dual income with good jobs.
Try looking for a house on Long Island NY for less than 750k on only quarter to half acre
Affordability is super difficult but the market will likely loosen up soon. If possible, buy a house further away from a city. Typically they're way more affordable. Also watch real estate videos. There's plenty of ways to still get a house. FHA only requires 3% down. Just find something small and fix it up so you're not house poor.
wish I was rich.
Do something about it!

It’s a barn not a house don’t hype up the price !
Unless can build it all yourself, Its unrealistic.
If you haven’t been keeping up with construction costs it’s pretty overwhelming how much things have gone up in 5-6 years
You build this huge house for people who have no imagination for design and you get boring a$$ looking living space. I don't like it. It may as well be a builder grade apartment.
