I am blown away by how far on the interior of the house is, I really was expecting a basic shell but you seem to have decorations mostly complete as well. A great house, I'm sure you are both going to enjoy it a lot over the years. You can even look at the deer eating the roses ( They love roses ) in your garden while sat in the office :)
Very nice. glad it landed with only a few punchlist items (drywall is easy). I am curious if you investigated stick-built of the same floorplan to see how much the modular saved you? I ask because you tickled my curiosity and some google results suggested that after the crane and house-movers costs they come out about even.
I'm always impressed on how big those homes are on the inside, looks like plenty of space. Random question though, is there a particular reason you went with a wood burning fireplace instead of a wood burning stove? I always thought the stoves were better for heating the home, though a wood burning fireplace is head and shoulders above not having a fireplace at all.
+redamaleki the inside really is spacious. We must have looked at 30 designs and this was our favorite. Sadly homecrafters did not have the option for a stove. I'm sure we could have easily install that aftermarket but we wanted to make it easy on us and have it all done at once.
Fireplaces are about 10% efficient Rocket mass heaters with a warming bench are 90% efficient, so I've heard. Ever since I came across rocket mass heaters I prefer them over fireplaces every time. Over all I didn't see as much cracking as I thought you would have. As long as the alignmetns are good the sheet rock repair will be a breeze.
Modern fireplaces are actually pretty efficient. It is amazing how efficient they are. I'm sure that is a pretty efficient fireplace as the EPA has strict requirements for fireplace efficiency and if a fireplace doesn't meet those requirements then it can't be sold legally.
+Frank Johnson someday I do intend on looking into the rocket mass stove. They seem fun to work with. There really wasn't much damage with the sheetrock. the guy doing the repairs made short work of it
MAN this Land to House series was truly full of details I enjoyed it.....
+rtmcify thank you! I still have a couple weeks of info to go.
Fantastic, I truly wish you many years of happiness in your new house !!
+Charl Joubert thank you. And many years of youtube video making :)

+Michael Collinson oh yes it has most of the interior done! ...the deer .... they are all over the place. Luckily the garden fence is going up.
Very beautiful home and model...Love all the features..Congrats on the house and baby. #ManyBlessings :))
+Mari Rodriguez thank you. We are very happy in our home and even more happy to have our baby daughter.
Good for you...God bless you more. :))
Did you get one of those breaker access for water shut offs ? It's neat. You can shut off one part while the rest of the house can still have water
+nintendolunchbox I'm not familiar with that. I know the we have two main shut off.
Congratulations!
Thank you! We are very pleased!

You mentioned a porch outside that door, bugger a porch put a full on split leveled deck, for those B-B-Q evenings....
+Maurice Brown I suppose a deck is a better word for what I'm referring to. Bigger than a porch.
very nice.
+Mike Duffy thank you.

Lol, you didn't want to add another project onto your list? I guess that is what experience brings to the table.
+redamaleki my list is a little full haha. At least we will have wood heat even if a stove would be better.

+tallman11282 I am not too sure of the legality of fireplaces. It does look nice. We will have to give it a try before winter time sets in
You said you're building a desk? I hope you'll show that because I want to build a desk myself soon.
+desolatetree yes I do have it filmed. Because it was my first desk to build the video is a little scattered. It turned it well!
Land to House Can't wait to see it!
I know I'm about 7 years late here. But just had a modular home set and I'm curious how the modular was secured to the foundation after drop?
J hooks are set in the concrete blocks. Then large washers and nuts are used to connect the house to the blocks.
nice house a don't think the TV will last very long with the heat from the fire it might over heat something to think about
Very nice place enjoy.I was referred to your chanel by wanglerstar.
+lonewolf77 thank you. Wranglerstar is a great guy. I have been enjoying his videos for years.
all the flaws would drive me nuts
+OtisspunkmeyerAxiomChannel wait a few videos and they will be gone.
I like what you're doing. The video is just too shaky. I have no doubt you'll improve with that.
+G Money yes this video was at the end of the day and I was tired. :) my apologies for the quality.
No apologies needed. I want to see you very successful on RUclips.
It was something to note rather than a dig.
+G Money sure thing. :) most often the videos I plan out are of far superior quality. This one was one of those "I should film this" moments.
