Wow! Beautiful fiddling!!! Thank you so much for sharing your experience. My husband and I are researching arched cabins and there’s not much out there so we definitely appreciate this! Many blessings!
Thankyou, you are very kind. Arched buildings are pretty wonderful. The gothic arch is easy to construct and very cost effective. I spent a total of $7000 for the complete bungalow, including flooring, cabinets....everything, even the kitchen.
Thankyou so much, Shelley. It is a far better building than these little storage sheds folks are converting. We looked at them, and the price tag, and figured we could do better from scratch. So glad you enjoyed our video.
Thanks, Will! We have lived in the Bungalow....for..over a year now and it HAS been pretty terrific all in all. If I did it again, I'd add 4', but if I did that, I probably wouldn't have started building another house!
@@willm5814 Yup. 4' wider and 4' longer would make it a decent permanent home with 3 br's. The loft could realistically be divided into 2 kids rooms, and a closet could be added downstairs. Total cost FINISHED was $7000. I think adding a few feet would add $1-2000 and really be worth it.
@@w.mckintymckinty6062 You'll fimd something. I highly recommend the newspaper and Craigslist first. Once a realtor gets hold of it....price skyrockets. I have found land for $3500-5000.
I am so incredibly impressed! What a build! Listening to your music is wonderful! Your work is impeccable! I am again disappointed with RUclips as I have searched for gothic arches, and various other titles over and over and over and have never seen this video! Shame on RUclips for such poor work!
I really envy your lifestyle. Wish I was 20 years younger!.Your home is going to be as amazing as your fiddles.I'll answer HiltsBilt's question for you. That was a great rendition of Ashokan Farewell.
Great looking arch cabin, can you explain how you built the arches? I have seen most arch cabins use steel arches. Or maybe you have a drawing on the arch style or sizes. Thank you
Hello, Ron. Thanks. If you click on my channel and look up under "playlists", you'll see the first video where I began the gothic arches and a clear explanation how to make them It is very strong and cost effective. Better than steel, imo. If you need more questions answered, just holler!
I hope that you used something to leave an air gap for ventilation behind the insulation against the metal. That structure needs a way to breath. Maybe the ribs in your metal will provide enough airflow to keep things dry.
I understand your concern. I imagine it's hard to tell from a crummy video, but there is more than adequate venting. I have built many homes, and this one was tested by removing roofing sheets after 2 years to examine how it had done. It has been up for 6 years and has performed flawlessly. There is very little I would change in the design.
Enjoying the build so far. Just want to comment on the sheet metal cutting. Next time use a regular wood blade put on backwards. Very loud, but would cut much better than an abrasive blade. Make sure it's not carbide tipped.
So I have a question as I prepare to build my first violin. What is your opinion on finishes at this point in time? Spar varnish, shellac, or other? Thanks for all the down-to-earth helpful tips! The Gothic arch is really sweet too!
Spar Varnish is excellent.....I have not perfected coloring it (why do we color violins anyway?!?) It is available anywhere. Shellac adds color and depth, dries in 20 minutes and is always repairable because alchohol dissolves it. I love the smell of varnish....I love the finish of shellac.
Thanks for your response! I would like to add that I appreciated your comments a video or two ago about the value of church family and listening to God's voice! God bless you in your adventure!
At first I thought this was an Arched Cabin, from the company of that name in Texas. They manufacture, sell, and deliver cabin kits ranging in size from 8x8 to 12x40.
@@grandpasmountain I just watched a documentary on the "Tiny House Expedition" channel about the tiny house villages they were building in Seattle and other Washington cities. I was thinking an 8x12 arched cabin would cost about the same as a converted shed but would look homier. This would be better. They could get crews together to build these, with your permission of course.
@@mishawakapost2681 If you diligently search, you will find that back in the 70's there was a call for engineers to design low cost, durable housing. One of the original ideas was the gothic arch structures. These came from the design of the hay barns in Norway. They held up better aerodynamically to high winds and the arch afforded considerably more storage space. I got into building full-sized wood airplanes and you'll notice the arch itself is 2 "wing ribs" joined at the top. Look at a picture of a wing rub from a Wright Bros era plane. I used that structure, which I was familiar with, to build a lightweight, strong and inexpensive building that could house 4 people comfortably... And so it did for nearly 3 years!
Hello, Maxx. 16' x 20' worked GREAT. If I did it again, and knew I'd be there for a few years, I'd go 20x24 and gain a larger MBR, a closet and a little more kitchen/ dining area. The loft would be huge and could be divided into 2 rooms potentially.
Do you have any problems with condensation without sheathing and a a vapor barrier? Im contractor by trade. I replaced a roof last year a fly by night guy put on without a vapor barrier. Heat runs up hits the cold tin condesates and runs down. I suggest spray in insulation to prevent the problem
Short answer -- "no" I built houses, too. The vapor barrier is the kraft facing on the insulation. There is an air gap between the fiberglass and steel with adequate venting. The steep rake prevents condensation from accumulating and dripping onto the insulation. Going on year 3 and even after removing steel panels to inspect, I have to say this little building is amazing.
Hi Tony. This cabin is 16' wide and 20' long and the peak is 15' up. Interior ceiling height is less, obviously, but gives me a 7' ceiling down and 6' 3" ceiling up in the loft. Thanks for the kind words. This cabin has worked out really well and heats fine with a single electric radiator that cost $35.
@@grandpasmountain Thanks Jon, Im now calculating materials to maybe a 14 W x 16 L and maybe 12H. Undecided if add OSB 7/16 outside over 1/2 radiant barrier rigid insulation and metal at the end. I don't know if its too much. Im in West Texas..so dry desert with 110f summers . But Im surprised you mention the way you did it with the metal outside and then fiber insulation is working great for you. Its great information. also LESS material costs $$. What do you think?
@@MASTERU487 Honestly-- you won't really save going smaller, and you'll reduce the loft. The osb is not needed...and a BEAR to bend-- good luck. Use white metal roofing to reflect the sun. The 3 1/2" fiberglass works great and there is enough airflow that condensation has not happened. I have pulled a piece of the roofing off to inspect and all looks great. If I did it again, I'd go 20' wide and 24' long and that would give a spacious MBR, a closet and a better dining area -- not to mention the loft could be divided into 2 sleeping areas.
Thanks, Bev. I'm sorry-- it's in the Bungalow playlist on my channel....and is the same as the last video of my Farewell Fiddle. I'm kind of spontaneous and didn't know I was going to do a series of videos!!
We had a storm and got a foot of snow a few weeks ago. No snow on the roof. I built a test building when I lived in northern NH and we had 5' of snow in the ground. The shape of the arch will not allow snow build up.
Ordinary fiberglass insulation. On the bottom of the floor, under the floor joists, I attached 1/4" blue foam board to keep the fiberglass up and discourage critters.
That is a very valid question-- In short, no. I have built houses with sure metal roofs before....lived in one for 15 years. There is a good 1" gap between the insulation and the steel and pretty decent venting. As long as there is good air flow, it should be just fine.
Good Work!😂 You proved my point Contrary to current social order socialized types the Real Life Skills People are superior! Can you help me with getting another land use donation? Cheers,

It is a full sized violin --- 4/4 Guarneri pattern, 31mm sides, I believe.

Nice, clean work.
Thankyou!
Hey, you could overlap two ladders for 3 rungs, lash the runs together tightly and have a longer ladder for reaching the top.
Haha....actually I have a long extension ladder. It's just the curve of the arch. If the ladder is longer, it sticks up into space!
wow nice house idea.. good luck
Thankyou. Lived there for 2 years and loved it!
Very nice work.

How did you provide ventilation on the roof side of your insulation to prevent condensation?
There is an air gap and vents at the bottom, as well as a ridge vent.

Use a panel blade (lots of teeth) and wear ear muffs and a face shelf start slow and push evenly I’ve cut lots of panels that way.
This steel is too heavy for that! Done that before...what a racket!!!
Wonderful violin playing! I was transported from a RUclips video to a Ken Burns documentary. HELP!!!

How you build the arches?

Good job i like it what size is this unit and how long is the sheets of tin
This is a 16' x 20' building. The steel roofing is 21' long. The ceiling height inside is 13' 6"
Total expenditure including siding is about $3500.
