How to design a small house
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 окт 2024
- In this episode I design a 18 by 26 small house at 468 square feet. In this small house design I squeezed a 1 bedroom and 1 full bath with a washer and dryer. The pitch is 4/12 on the roof with a interior vault throughout the house. You can add a porch in the front or the back with this design. This would be very easy and cheap to build since in essence its a rectangle with a low pitch roof.
Please let me know how you like this video and if you want to see more of these and what you would like to see.
Thx.
What program are you using for your designs? Also, great video, but lose the ghetto background music.

Yes, I would love to see more like these. They make logical sense. But, you are tweaking details to make them different. I love white shaker kitchen cabinets, with grey/white/black granite countertop, with stainless steel appliances. But, I know those cabinets are probably more than the unfinished cabinets that I could stain. And I know you used granite and stainless steel appliances before. Are white shaker cabinets a huge amount more? Thank you so much for working on this episode while you are not well.
Jose Luis I like the music!!!
@@peachesbeaches781 The white ones are twice as much more as the unfinished.
I feel this house is best for newly married and immigrants. Excellent guidance by MC. Thanks a lot and I love it. I think it costs around 80,000 in NJ.
I like that you put your OCD to good use. Very nice, simple design. Great for a granny flat!
If I had to live in this I would have no issues doing it. I love small spaces
@@MigraineCraftsman I'd have no problem living there either. Small but perfectly formed. I've never understood the huge homes with only a couple of people living there. Keep them coming!
Something to think about is going with even 4’ dimensions for framing and sheeting simplicity. Also on a small home the more square it is the more square footage you get for the materials used.
My wife and I lived in a 384;sqft for years.. The kitchen area was far from the bathroom but the plumbing shared the wall. The shower and washer also shared the same plumbing wall. We had a full basement for a utility room, freezer and storage. Being in a cold climate we have double stud foam filled walls with a lot of glass on the south wall. When it gets warm from the sun even when it’s cold outside I have a ventilation system that circulates the warm air to the concrete basement for heat storage. It is now a little larger with an attached garage and a 28x28 that’s almost done. We are going to rent the small unit.
We built it from proceeds selling a larger home without any banks.
I live in MN where its COLD...would work well to design kitchen and bathroom plumbing toward interior walls of the home as well as plan it out so plumbing is required in a more condensed area...be less expensive too.
I enjoyed watching this and listening to your thought process as you design. I really like all your storage ideas too like the ones in the bedroom. In the bathroom i think if you made the window a little smaller you could put a tall skinny linen cabinet to the right of the toilet. Thank you so much for doing this even when you had a migraine! I get them too so i understand.
Love your ideas. I’m interested in a house with a bedroom and bath on each end. I’m really liking the simplicity of your plans and the fact that storage is built in.
Just Started Watching And I'm Grateful !!! Just Built My First Home On SketchUp And Blender !!!
Hey MC, love your content. I find myself waiting for Friday or Saturday to roll around for new episodes. I would love to see you design an 800 to 1200 sf 2 bed 2 bath home. Hope you are feeling well.
I can defenitelly do that stay tuned.
I hope you are feeling better today. Your program has reminded me the play that I played 10 years ago. It was a designing and creating game and I was one of the winners in designing by the votes of the ppl.:)
I knew you were famous, I'm in presence of royalty, good day to you.
Feeling better today thx Z
@@MigraineCraftsman 😄 haha that was good
Hello Mr. MC,
Now with the inclusion of this video, Mr. MC has now shown us from the beginning of an ideal to the sell. His house ideals put into a design program that is doable for many of us, to tips on picking out land (I sent him a link to a property I am looking at, he looked at the images and he instantly seen things I didn’t), to tips on working with pros, and counties, to how he builds his homes step by step, to landscaping, to the sell. EVERYBODY YALL NEED TO WATCH THIS GUY AND SPREAD THE WORD!!!! We all need to think and do like this, to rid ourselves of unneeded stress. As another subscriber said last week, that, “He is going to be legendary!!!!” That’s so true!!
So sorry you are not feeling well. I love the kitchen sink. I believe that is called a farmhouse sink. I like the tall pantry cabinet next to the fridge. That is great for a-lot of kitchen supplies and food storage. I love that you added a full sized kitchen, especially space for a regular sized 30 inch fridge. Many people want that. Full holiday dinners ARE doable. You are aligning up lines and centering things, I do that too. I have OCD also. I love windows in the kitchen also. Let the sunshine in!!!! You taught us in your last build that if a window is so many inches from a door, that it has to be tempered glass. And I thank you!!
Clever on using items like the bedside cabinet to do spacing. Oh, I see what you are doing. After you measured the space for the bed and 2 cabinets, you could eliminate more space to save even more, you moved the interior wall closer to the front door, and you moved the exterior bedroom wall in more. I know what a projection tv is!!!
If you are intending to build those tall bedroom cabinets, and since many people like bedside table space. Maybe little recessed built-in shelves above the bed, maybe with electrical plugs, between the framing in the wall. I know, more little things adds to the cost, sorry. Off center!!!! I get it!!!
Full kitchen, five foot tub, full size washer & dryer, and probably a full sized water heater like you did before, are all golden in a small house.
I like porches. I like a deck in the back. Steaks on the grill, drink in my hand, lounging on the outdoor sofa, looking at the beautiful stars, SWEET!!!!
Vaulted ceiling, does change the whole feel, it makes it feel more open. Fireplace, great ideal!! Yes!!! Built-in recessed storage in many places for me!!! You make blue prints too!!! Impressive!!!!
One ideal, if someone wants to cut cost even more, they could make one of those beds that pull down from the wall in the living room. And not have a separate bedroom. I know many like a separate bedroom though. I do!! I have seen videos of small apartments with that bed design. Especially in New York, cuz cost per square footage is really expensive. Just a thought.
Some people build huge homes, that cost ridiculously a lot more, bigger homes have higher market values, which dictates the amount of their property tax bill. And people who will their homes to their children, maybe still a mortgage, but a definite bill that is due yearly is that property tax bill, that will be their responsibility then. Yearly property taxes in some areas are huge!! A huge tax bill can be a stressful burden they may not want. So, when we all build, we should also consider that.
If the glare from your computer screen makes your migraines worse, maybe wear no-glare glasses. I use them sometimes. I know how much light aggravates my head when I just have a headache, but a migraine, oh man!!!!
I know, I type and type WAYYYYYY too much, sorry. Thank you so much MC!!!! Again, a great episode!!! Even when you are not feeling well. And I thank you very much for that. Please, take care of yourself. Peaches
Thank you for the points you guys are my research and development department :-)
Migraine Craftsman You are welcome.
Hope you get to feeling better love your designs
@@michellemiller127 Thank you and yes I feel better 4 days of headaches and pain but sadly sometimes that is normal for me.
Love that green and all the windows. Nice mountain views. Thanks for sharing. I would like to see a garden tub in one of these builds:)A helpful video as always. Take care and get well soon. Maybe visit a chiropractor for your headaches.
Lovely home you have created. I would like to see more designs of yours. Maybe, a 2 bedroom with a Jack-and-Jill bathroom.
Thank you I will make more of these.
I like the fact that you are designing towards the smaller home market one thought though. Growing up I worked in excavation and plumbing and a free tip is try to make as much of your plumbing all lay on one wall and as close to each other as possible. That way you use less material and in the case of a slab there is hopefully less demolition needed to replace drains ECT.
Great advice, that is a true fact :-) lol I always found that statement interesting.
awesome recommendation. I love people that contribute with great ideas. i would have never thought of that.
@@klwthe3rd I've been the guy replacing them 🤣🤣🤣😢😢
Great video, thanks for showing the planning stage
Thank you for this video, I really like this content and the planning stage, will love to see more about he blueprints and the cost and permit stage
Will do, next build is coming up shortly.
I agree. Even though the house build is well documented, there is more behind the scenes work (and cost) with the pre-build. I'm Looking forward to the next installment of this channel.
Migraine craftsman, I really enjoy your videos! Keep them coming. I am hoping to get me a house. But i want a smaller house with a nice 1/2 acre or 1 acre. Any suggestions? Your ways are way better than going in debt on a 250k house!!
I'm going to make a video designing a tiny house soon, so stick around you might like it :-)
It will be easy to build and cheap to put together, those go hand in hand.
I really like how you think about houses and space and making use of you inches. Like this floor plan.
I would flip the bathroom so the hot water doesn’t have as far to travel to get to the kitchen. Our water is super expensive where I live and I hate wasting all that water just waiting for it to get hot!
K Quitberg I try not to waste water either. So, the water that comes out waiting for the water to get hot, I catch in a bucket under the faucet. I use it for watering the plants, and to mop the floor. And I plug the drain while taking a shower. I use buckets full over and over to flush ALL the toilet pipes well while the tub is draining just to get a good flushing of the system. My toilet works, I just like using the shower water to get a good forceful flow going through the system.
I get migraines, I sympathize. Thanks for doing this when you feel so bad.
Thanks for sharing. God bless you for your willingness to share with others.
Thank you Noe for the kind words.
Cool design. Very nice way to design your small house.
Cool enjoy that. Could u do a simple small 2 bedroom home with 36 ' inch doors thru out? I would really be interested in seeing that. Thanks
That is my very similar to my next build, stick around and you'll see how it all goes from the ground up.
@@MigraineCraftsman Thanks.I appreciate all info u are putting out. Small simple 2 bedroom is what im looking to eventually do for me and my Son. I have mobility issues so why i mentioned the wider doors.
Love your ideas! You have a new subscriber!
Thank you, and welcome aboard.
CBD for your migraines my brother. I’m not a doctor but it works for me. Props to you for doing stuff while having a migraine! With the ones I have, I can’t really function.
@Mentes Livres which CBD oil do you use there are so many companies, how do we know which ones have best quality?
I appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge and experise, and I like your no-nonsense, practical approach to building well-designed, efficient homnes, Keep up the fantastic work!
Thx Dave, I might build something small again this time I'm thinking of doing a loft.
love it...an under served market in todays times
Yes, I'm the crazy one who likes to build small.
I love your small house design.
Thank you
Really cool to watch! Thanks for sharing this with us. Well done!
Awesome. I really enjoyed this video. Thank you.
My migraines went away when I went to a really good chiropractor. Spinal misalignment is main cause of migraines that traditional doctors won't tell you. Thanks for sharing this. Many people want a home but think they can't afford one.
Love the channel. Thanks for the knowledge! Could you do a video on a plan for a 1000-1200 sq ft house 3 bed two bath, the last two bedrooms just small little guest/kid rooms in the future?
Sure, I actually did something like that for a forum member, I will put one together for you in a week or two.
@@MigraineCraftsman Awesome! Thanks again! 👍
Thank you MC, going to watch your new video, then get on here to comment. Yeah!!! I do thank you very much!!!!
Thx Peaches, let me know what you thought of this video. Bad and good, first time I've done one like this.
Migraine Craftsman
Hey Mr. MC, you are welcome. What do you mean first time you did one like this? With your addition of the fireplace, could that be for your heat, since the house is smaller? I like the glass shower doors. In my experience of cleaning houses and getting feedback, I have found many customers do like shower doors, buy many also like shower curtains because they can be cleaned easier in the washer, or just replaced. Plus, some cleaning companies charge extra to clean shower door (I do cuz I have a 3-4 step process). No back door (are 2 doors required for safety), the tall pantry is different, small cabinet next to tub is different (a subscriber suggested), toilet is not next to tub. I love the bedroom storage. You make it look easy to design this. Thank you so much!!!!
Great video. What software are you using to design this house? Looks like a lot of fun. Would love to experiment with that.
I also would like to know the name of the software.
Always good content on your channel. Love this plan and adore how you respect the builders. The view was outstanding especially toward the end with the sun on the trees .
Hey MC, hope you're feeling better man. take it little easy
another great video, love how you designed the home in under 20mins. some of is get to bigger down with choice...analysis paralysis lol. beautiful job with this one :)
Thx Zee
Hello Mr. MC, hope all is well. Have a wonderful holiday!!!!
Peaches
Thank you ma'am you do the same.
Migraine Craftsman You are very welcome sir. Thank you!!
I enjoy watching this wonderful design
This awesome, I have been looking for plans just like this!
Glad to be of help
You know your way around that software pretty well, for a second there I thought that you sped up the video, but then I realized that you're very proficient with it.
I have Chief Architect on my iPad for light stuff but I mainly use AutoCad and Revit.
There is so many nice pieces of software out there, the render ones are awesome but they are crazy expensive. My cousin uses a lot of autocad he is really good at that thing, I picked up some things from him.
@@MigraineCraftsman Yep, Auto Cad is prevalent in the design world although Revit is gain fast. I've been using AutoCAd since 1995.
This looks good for the most part. I have one complaint: only one egress door. I like having access to the back yard. So maybe a single French door instead of a window next to the tv. And instead of a couch under the tv, maybe an oversized chair.
Also, I'm looking forward to the next build. :)
Yup that is why I mentioned in the video about the sliding door and a porch in the back. Beauty of designing you can make anything you come up with to fit how you live. I personally would delete one of the sofas and put my computer desk so it would be a dual purpose area with tv on the wall and a spot for my computer to work.
Great video
It was fascinating to watch the design change as you talked. I would love to design and live in a home like this if I ever have to move from my much too big 100+ yo drafty farmhouse. What would you think about a U- shaped kitchen (or island) with a 4 person eat-at bar between kitchen and living space? At counter height with enough room for stools beneath but would provide ample kitchen workspace, eliminate the need for table/chairs and might give some storage. Also I would leave 18” of space behind(to the right of) front door for a massive wall of adjustable 12” deep shelves which could then accommodate almost anything: pantry, display, books, baskets. I had something similar built for my kitchen and love the space and versatility.
Do you find the land for the house or do the people buying the the house have to find the land and is that all included when you do get land is that all included into your price
I have really been enjoying your channel.Thank you for what you do.I have learned quite alot from your videos.I am interested in building a small home in the near future.Im hoping maybe I could get in touch and send you some specs for a small maybe 950 sf home.Thanks in advance Chad
Sure thing.
Thanks for sharing this with us. 👍😁
Thank you kindly B
This looks great! Almost exactly what I'm looking for (whenever I figure out financing)
:)
Perfect little cabin, all you need really.
I like this house . Just a few questions , 1 how do You get wood in to the fireplace ( where do You store it , inside and outside ) not to mention taking out the ashes ..? I know , You could have a gas fireplace , but , what's the fun in watching that ? 2 Is there any way to centrally locate the water heater? I personally prefer 2 recliners over a 2 person sofa . Instead of a dining table a moveable island with storage underneath ?
Hey John, you can store wood outside under the over hang or porch. Since the place is so small the water heater is fine in the bathroom, if it was a bigger house then yes try to put it in a central location. As for the island you can do what one of my customer did get rid of the dining room table all together and put in an island with seating. People have a lot of great ideas it all depends what you like.
@@MigraineCraftsman If th this house had a back door by the fireplace , You can bring in wood ( some stoves have wood storage underneath ) and carry out the ashes .
@@MigraineCraftsman I REALLY love Your vids !! You are the primary go to for the average blue collar working stiff ( like Me) ! I'm married W/1 four legged kid ( dog , but don't tell her that --- she won't believe You ) . I'm just a few yrs. from the dreaded ( from My point of view ) retirement . I already own 5.1 ac. ( w/o utilitys available of course) . One of Your design houses would pretty ok ( I'm told nothing is perfect) . I'd have to figure out the utilitys ( in a way that the BOSS is down with) !! This property is two mi. from the interstate , and two million miles from anything !! Just the way I like it ( three guesses what Wifie thinks. First two don't count) !!!
@@johnhoward7298 Couple of acres and some peace and quiet, your dreaded retirement sounds good to me. That is my goal to some some acreage, small house that is easy to live with and easy on taxes and utility bills. T
A very thought out, Simple and Smart design. I watched a couple videos but i Really like this one. You're clearly experienced cause it's natural and Perfect for a specific dynamic (couple/ single). I love it #CaribbeanGirl
Thx, I usually design these as if I had to live in them.
All this is extremely helpful and you have made a subscriber out of me! Would you be willing to go through one of your blue prints? Showing what you do when you calculate "inch by inch" as you mention in your video?
Sure thing, I am going to release a vid on a tiny house next then a very small 3 bedroom design after that.
Very nice, I like the way you envision your house's.
Very nice designs I like the size. I am looking to change a standard 2 stall garage into a tiny home / mother in law's suite. The city said that I could change my garage into living space without having any property tax problems or zoning issues.
Man this is what I call smart design, you got a sub. Very well thought design. What I would change is, if I skip the chimeny I would fit an L shaped sofa facing the tv instead of 2 2 seaters that would make it cosier for me and have space between the sofa and the dining table. another thing is I would make the window bathroom smaller and higher thats perfect for me :)
Hey thanks for the video.
I need to get that program to get my own house designed
Would like to see more videos of the design process with your software, from start to finish
I will do more of these so stay tuned
@@MigraineCraftsman thank you, much appreciated
Great! What is the name of the program you are using?
Love the video. You make it look so easy to design a house. Just one question...what about the HVAC system?
2 words :-) Mini Split
@@MigraineCraftsman, I'm not familiar with the mini split system. Will RUclips it! Thanks!
@@smokymountainlife It's basically a wall unit that heats and cools but with no duct work, awesome little system. Mitsubishi makes pretty good ones.
I love this house and video! Have you already explained why you were in jail? We all make mistakes and fall short. You are a very creative young man and using your talents for good. God bless you.
Lol, I was joking around, Note to self don't do that again.
@@MigraineCraftsman That's funny, I thought you were serious🤣
@@mememo3764 :-)
Migraine Craftsman I knew it. I could tell by your little laugh right after you said that, that you were joking!!!!
Migraine Craftsman “Note to self, try to get another doctors opinion concerning my migraines.” Because we care!!
I love watching you draw small houses can I see more of your wheel chair drawings 1, 2, and three bedroom plan for disable people will look forward to hearng from you
Bro! Bro!!! You are amazing! What’s the best way to reach you?
Whats on your mind KG?
Very nice design thank you . sorry you not feeling well.
Can you do a small house with another room up stairs
This one could be easily vaulted, but I am going to make more of these videos and I will make one with an upstairs for you.
@@MigraineCraftsman thanks
I’m so sorry you feel bad !! Praying you will get some relief! I like the little house , I think I would like maybe a bit more room to have an end table at the end of one of the sofas or both. I guess you could possibly put the tv above where the fireplace is so you can see it from both sofas. I think my fave so far is the 2 bedroom one !
Next build is also a 2 and 2 fyi. Just ironing out all the details.
Oh cool 😊
If I could design a house I would like to have a back door that entered into the laundry room / bathroom ( the second bathroom in a 2 and 2 house ) With maybe a folding door or something simple for bathroom privacy. What do you think about that ?
Loved it!!!
Thx, Roger.
Haven't watch everything so I apologize in advance if you have addressed these questions. Hhave you worked with spray foam insulation? Do you do anything with solar? Have you used gas tankless water heaters? How much space do they take?
No worries,
I used spray foam before it has very good energy efficiency but more expensive then regular insualtion and has to be done right
As for solor never worked with it due to cost
tankless water heaters take up very limited space so it is a good space saving option but more expensive then traditional water heater you can buy for $300
I like this design very much. I would make it modern and straight lined. I am thinking about converting my two car garage into something like this. My laundry and a full bathroom are next to the garage. So I was thinking using my existing bathroom for the convertion by dividing a third and making a powder room for my house and the full bath for the convertion. It's an idea, I just don't know how it would look. On the opposite side of the garage there is a 4 foot wide closet running down the whole wall, so that's additional space. I do want full size appliances.
I just found your channel and am in the market for a small home on property in Texas. Can you advise how difficult it would be to add a loft in one of your small homes with a staircase? I so appreciate you sharing your thoughts and experience with us!!!!
Piece of cake, vault the roof to 10/12 put in a dormer or two, if limited on space put in a cottage staircase(steep) and it's done. Spiral staircases also work well for limited space.
Sorry, I think I was wrong about the door handle, so please ignore that part of the comment. It is a very nice design. You do great work!!
No worries, that is the beauty of designing you can do whatever you like and change what you dont. I'm trying to show people what can be done and peak their curiosity and spark their imagination.
I hope all is well haven’t seen anymore videos in a while ! Hope you have a Merry Christmas 🎄
Working on the next one :-) 2 bed and 2 bath under a 1000 square feet.
Merry Christmas to you as well!
@@MigraineCraftsman I get so excited when you do the homes that are under 1000 square feet. Most people on here are looking for projects that can be done for well under $50,000. I would love to build a small home(not necessarily a tiny home) but one that can be constructed for $35,000 tops. I"m single, no family and i want to live in an area that has LOW TAXES and build a home at cost. That way i won't have any mortgage or very little yearly taxes owned to the town.
@@klwthe3rd That is a great vision you got, 35k is not easy to do unless you do most work yourself and keep it very small. But I defenitelly understand what you are saying, you get that done and you are free to live how you want with no worry of a big mortgage payment.
@@MigraineCraftsman What about finding modular construction that can provide the smaller sizes you want at a lower cost? Or is that not the areas of concern when looking to keep your costs down? Please bare with me as I'm still learning.
@@klwthe3rd I am going to get into that myself at some point, still working things out on that topic.
How long does it take to get comfortable with the software with all the features it has?
It's hard to answer that, Google "home designer software" you can download a free trial and see how you like it.
3weeks, but if my OCD kicks in, 2days.
I wish you the best & relief from your migraines - I enjoy your informative videos - are you willing to share the name of the "old" house design software you're using? It seems to be exactly what I've been looking for. I use an old downloaded version of Sketchup & don't like the online programs - thanx :)
Sure thing, Home Designer by chief architect 6.0
The software is very old but I do like it, it's simple and not a cpu resource hog.
@@MigraineCraftsman Thanx a lot, especially for the version # (you're very thorough) - b4 Sketchup I used 3D Home Architect V9 by Punch (during my Vista era) talk about cpu hog & extremely slow rendering. Be well :)
@@MigraineCraftsman btw - I apologize for asking a question that you'd already answered - I can't see comments via smart tv :(
@@ByHis3Grace No need to apologize, Happy Thanksgiving to you.
Thank you Craftsman & Happy Thanksgiving to you & yours !
What's Your opinion of a " on demand " hot water heater ( would one be enough for this house ) ?
Pricey to buy and install plus preventetive maintenance you have to do to make sure everything is clean and it flows. So my opinion is if you got the money it's a nice system to have but regular water heaters are cheaper easier to install and if they go bad in 20 years you buy a new 50 gallon one for $297
Love love your video!!!!
Thank you kindly.
So do you do complete plans or do you use this software to come up with a concept and then take it to a draftsman to work up everything. What about foundations? Do you do that or are you required to have an engineer do those for you in your area?
I do make complete plans with measurements and ready to take to the building department. Foundations if you keep simple do not need any plans, at least here in Georgia where I live. Keep in mind different areas will have different rules, so the easiest way to find out is to visit your local building department. No engineer is needed for any of my steps, I do everything in house.
Migraine Craftsman nice. Here they require an engineers stamp but we don’t have bedrock to build on, only silt from the Mississippi River.
Hope you are feeling better. Look forward to your next video
Can you please tell me what program you use for designing? I have a design on paper but I would love to bring it to life 🙌🏼
Home Designer by chief architect 6.0
:-) there you go.
Migraine Craftsman THANKS SO MUCH! I actually found one in my appstore and I’m loooving it. Having the app in my phone is amazing. Super easy to use, very similar to the one you’re using. If anyone is interested is called home design.
That’s pretty awesome. What computer program are you using? I like that you can place furniture and see how it’d looks! 😊
Home Designer by chief architect 6.0
Thanks! 😊
Love and enjoy your videos... I learn something new each time I see them. For the little house u build. I think is the one 447 sq ft. How much did it cost without the lot. Minus the lot. Just curious. I know the cost is different for different states it varies but it will give me an idea... I'm going to finish paying for my lot 8 months or sooner. Then I'm going to budget for a cute small cozy cottage . Thank u
Take a look here I talk about the price and how to do it cheaper ruclips.net/video/r9s5PLnImmk/видео.html
Lot was 19k
Would you please do a video for a smaller, affordable duplex??
I like your designs but where u have the 2 sofas should have been a bathroom area which would leave a lot more space on the other side for the living room and bedroom.
You make designing look easy! What is the name of the old software? How much more money would it cost to put on a nice porch in the front and a covered deck in the back? I like the vaulted ceiling. You really need it since the house is so small. What do you think it would cost, ball-park, for a house similar to this one but twice the size with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, porch, deck and more closets? Thanks.
Porch up front or back would be 3 to 4 k each, it all depends how fancy it is. As for the build cost if you did a lot of work yourself the house construction might be around 100 a square foot but the more people you hire the more its going to cost. Not to mention the price of land.
Hard to answer the build question, if you watched my latest cabin series you see the price I SOLD it at, HOW much it was to build and how much it WOULD have been if the land was different.
Hope that helps you out a bit.
Home Designer by chief architect 6.0 is the software but sims video game works too.
@@MigraineCraftsman Thanks for the reply. 3 to 4k for each porch/deck is not too bad. Well worth it. I've enjoyed all of your videos and was curious about the price for adding some more architectural elements to add some more interest to it. Well done!
What software do you use to design your homes.
Home Designer by chief architect 6.0
How can I get in touch with you, would like to get a design for a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom house
I love your videos and designs.....can I buy the blueprint plans for this....?
Nice design, simple is good
Thx Art
Here's a crazy idea. It will cost more to pour the foundation but you would spend anything for flooring. Pour slab of colored concrete with radiant floor heating. You could polish it and give it a very nice finish.
That's not crazy at all I actually love that idea. I thought about that many times, if I had the money I would put in a radiant heating system in the concrete and have warm floors to walk on that can help heat the house. Big thumbs up, for bringing that up.
A big downside to a concrete slab especially with any radiant heat is simply the slab can settle and crack over time. That can cause failures in the in-slab radiant heat system. Foundations settle, especially in areas that experience a lot of freeze/thaw (large temperature swings that occur naturally during seasons). This process causes the foundation to stress from the expanding and contracting of the concrete and the ground in direct proximity of the foundation. Whether it's a simple concrete slab, poured concrete walled basement or cinderblock basement. Just something to be aware of.
Try doing a ADU garage conversion for an elderly parent. We need that kind of plan in our generation.
Can I purchase this plan from you?
I'm building an ADU and I need to be around 500 square feet. I'm having trouble finding ready made plans and this is exactly what I need. I have to match an existing roofline . I'm going to have a breezeway and attach it to my shop
Do you want any alterations made to this? I can customize this for you in any way you want.
Check my email on the youtube page and email me if you have design requests.
I would put the door to the bathroom outside the bedroom, right where the tub is and I would put the tub on the other side of the bathroom. Also, in the bedroom I would just put one window and add another one of those storage closets on the right back corner.
I was thinking the same. That's a tight fit to rearrange.
What software are you using?

I feel your pain on the migraine I do the same just work through them
I used to have a lot of bad migraines. Would be sick to my stomach. Got meds from dr after tried other things.
You might try some magnesium tabs & pineapple. I also drank “drip drop”. It’s a professional grade hydration mix.comes in a box with 8 packages. You can get it at Walgreens.Worked for me if I caught it in time.
Thank you, I have magnesium siting right behind me, it doesn't work unfortunetly.
To create a closet , build a queen size headboard from floor to height desired . Build it as far from wall as needed for two people . Put heavy duty rod from headboard to wall .Put shelves in . Great space saving closet. Must have on ea. side of bed to access.
I need u to help me do a plan for a 18x50 1 bed 1 bath, full size washer dryer etc. I'm getting a Derksen 18x50 side utility with two sunburst gables, and front door will enter into living room.. back door will be in living area. Wish I knew where to find free design software to help me out. Pen and paper is driving me nuts lol. Thank u for showing us how u design urs. Hope ur migraines are better. Best wishes from Oklahoma.
I’m planing on building a small house like this ! Where can I get a building plan like this 5hats thorough and affordable ?
I'll have them available soon enough, I'm working on a site, they will be less then $100
would a tankless water heater be good? More space and no ugly looking tank.Add a coat closet.
Yes those are nice just expensive to install and you have to maintain them. With this ugly water heater I installed you just install it and leave it alone. :-) $297 and no maintenance.
I like your videos. I need a design for a small house between 800 and a 1000 sq ft. Can you do that? I’ll compensate you.
A great idea for a bedroom closet is to locate where the bed will be ( @ what size ) build a headboard tall enough to walk behind , far enough from wall for clothes rod ( from wall to back of headboard ) . You could build shelves etc. . Its kinda like a walk in closet .
I love unique storage ideas, that is one of the reasons I like IKEA. I have put furniture together for people just for fun and free lol, it shows you how I look at what I do.
so cool... what's the software?

Fairly new to your channel and love it. I want to build a small home like this for myself. I have the simple floor plan and rough measurements already hand drawn. I'm confident I can build it, but the piece of the puzzle I'm missing (besides the funding, lol) is how to go from rough drawing to getting plans approved by my local municipality. I'm interested in knowing once you have the design complete with accurate measurements are you able to just print this from home and submit it for approval, or do you have it professionally printed somewhere? Also, do you have to have an engineer sign off on any of it. Like the foundations or slab design. Do any soil tests need to be performed? I know every town or county may do it slightly different. I live along the south east coast with mostly sandy soil, so from what I've gathered it's a pretty simple process around here. There aren't usually any issues with soil from structural standpoint or septic. I would love to hear about the steps to get from an idea on paper (or computer) to actual getting approval to build. Thanks for sharing so much great info.
Hello,
Your question about the floorplan is all dependent on where you live. In North Carolina and Georgia you can submit even a hand drawn plan as you have with no problem, but not in all of the state. It all really depends on the local government and your rules the easiest way to find out is to go to your local building department and ask.
Hard for me to answer area specific questions since I do not live there and don't know what the rules are, there is a lot of rules out there and different cities will have their own and inspectors, they will also have their own way of doing things.
My next episode is going to cover a lot of start up questions, check it out and if you need any additional info feel free to ask.
@@MigraineCraftsman You are awesome!!! You always answer everyone's questions and address them in future videos. Thank you.
Hello brother. Very nice style, I want to ask you if you can help me or give me an idea about a Garage 20*21. Its already built and I want to turn it to a room with bathroom and shower. Any idea? I also want to keep the washer and the dryer and the water heater in there. Any Idea? I would really appreciate it. Also, let me know if you want me to send you a pictures or something.
