ruclips.net/video/0fDEg-Y1tHY/видео.html here is the walkthrough video I did of the pole barn house so you can see the bedrooms etc.
Smart Easy DIY I would like to build a house just like that. I like your work man. How much did it cost to build it ?
Thanks I appreciate that. Did you watch the whole video? It should explain it quite well. 😊
Excellent production and detailed cost analysis.
Thanks for sharing.
George In S.C. 4 thank you!
Not sure if you recieved my reply on the blueprints for the house.. my email is kyleh772@gmail.com. Thank you and happy new year..
One of the finest construction videos I have ever seen. You almost never get costs and breakdowns, it's always "depends on what you do".
Thank you I appreciate the feedback!! 👍
Does anyone else appreciate how clean he keeps his projects?!
Thank you! I try but it’s not always clean. 😁
Absolutely! One of my biggest pet peeves actually, multimillion dollar home or low income housing we keep our site clean and organized.
Had a helper place a razor floor scraper “blade up” in a bucket buddy 4th day on the job whom explained it was ok because no children lived there , I had to let fire him for it and I didn’t enjoy it but had he recognized the potential for forming a bad habit and went and fixed it I may have gave kept him a bit longer but with a few other events factored in such as loose tar paper scrap laying on finished flooring sections it was just best to get rid of him.
I may sound terrible but it is truly like dancing and if you don’t have a person trained in the same manner as yourself it will usually be bad.
People can change and do everyday but you are wasting time trying to change a person into what you want them to be.
Wow I had no idea that fellas behaviors still resides within my mind.
Thank you for this opportunity to console myself
I admire that
Thanks!
@@jakestellar4600 that man was a walking disaster,waiting to happen.not only for doing what he did,but for arguing that it was justifiable,in any way.God forbid,you ended up on a roof with him,or working with electricity,where he could have gotten you killed.you gave him an important test,and he failed.yiu were proactive,and you did the best thing you could have done-get rid of the problem.
This has to be the most straight forward, chock full of info vid I’ve seen on YT-well done sir. Congrats on your home, hope your family enjoys it for many years to come!
Thanks so much! Very much appreciated. It’s pretty fast-paced but that’s the only way to keep it under a half hour. Lol
BlueCollarScholar, I agree with you 100%.
@@SmartEasyDIYer , I like your fast pace, other videos like this just have too much unnecessary stuff.
Thanks so much for the feedback sash s!
P
I would definitely nominate you for the Best, easiet to understand, most detailed and concise videos on youtube. Thank you!
Wow thank you that’s so much appreciated!
@@SmartEasyDIYer I truly mean it! And am sure that is the general consensus of the people that watch your videos. Well deserved. If you were to build again, would you go to a 2 story and shrink the main floor? We are considering a 30 x40 with second floor. Also thought of 1.5 story with 2nd floor in the attic. From your perspective, which would be better, cheaper and faster to build? A 2 story or 1.5 story? Would love to get your advice. My husband and I respect you very much!
@nicoletaelias2559 thanks again. We really do like our one story layout still. The only thing is our kids don’t get to experience stairs until we go visit elsewhere. Lol. Probably if I did it again I would try to do a smaller footprint, but go up a full two stories to get the same square footage. I think for the amount of space versus work it would be better to go for two-story for a house instead of one and a half like I did on the garage. For the garage this worked perfect for me but for full living quarters I think the full two-story would be nicer.
@@SmartEasyDIYer Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Will take this valuable advice! Will keep watching your channel, the best out there!
Dear Smart Builder! Possibly you should be also called HARD WORKER!! How many people are willing to work a 40 hour week at a regular job and then work another 40 to 50 hours a week building a house in their spare time?? For almost a year! You are obviously driven to take care of your beautiful family! What a fantastic dream come true!
I had a wonderful Saturday morning looking at your superbly executed video. You are inspiring people! I can’t believe what you produced at such an unbelievable price! I just finished a 2700 square-foot custom house in a well known resort area. Yes it’s beautiful, and custom. But it cost almost 5 times as much to build per square foot as your place!! If you include your time at $30 or $40 an hour your bottom line doubles on your project. You were brilliant and diligent to have an income during your building process!
God bless you and your family! Merry Christmas!
PS My wife helped me paint too!
Wow thanks so much! Comments like yours mean a lot to me. Yes it was a TON of work and dedication but it was worth it looking back. It was a family effort for sure my wife put up with a lot too living in a camper with 2 young boys while we did this so I had time to build. I appreciate hearing from you. I hope you enjoy your new house. Thanks again! 😊
This was my same thoughts as well. I so admire this man for working so hard for his family! I am inspired to do the same thing. I am in search of property now and I wish I could hire Smart Easy DIY! Maybe I could entice him somehow as mine would be smaller for my needs? Really clean work site and well explained videos enough to make me subscribe! Well done Smart Easy DIY!
Thanks Brynn I really appreciate the kind words! And I appreciate you thinking of me but unfortunately as of now I don’t have the time to travel and do projects for others although that would be something I dream of one day. Hopefully you can find someone local that will do a great job for you. Thank you!
@@SmartEasyDIYer Thank you! In the meantime, I will watch as many videos as possible from your channel in hopes of gaining some knowledge! I hope you do give more thought about consulting others as a possible business in the future. Best of luck and thanks for the great vids.
I'm a beginner at this and I got more info from you in this video than 3 months of research. VERY VERY good! Uncut info! I hope your still accessible when I'm ready to build. Thanks!
Thanks I appreciate that! Yes let me know if I can help with questions. Message me on insta if you don’t get ahold of me otherwise I don’t always get notifications for comments. I check pretty closely though.
This kind of video is what RUclips was meant for. Quality is better than videos put out by big channels with millions of subs. Well done. I plan on building myself in the next 5 years and will be doing lots of the carpentry and electrical myself. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Thanks for the kind words I appreciate the feedback! Good luck with your build!
Less than $90,000 for this home is excellent 👍
Thank you!
Yeah! White Rabbit who says you could have built it for 1/10 the cost is smoking something. Nothing much survives a Cat 5 hurricane or a strong tornado. Really strong tornadoes splinter houses and pull up the soil and trees as well. We have mostly concrete block houses in FL because wood houses and mobile homes (owned primarily by people from New Jersey who moved south to retire) blow away in our annual hurricanes. I've survived countless hurricanes and 4 minor tornadoes. His Ph.D. must be in philosophy or art history, not engineering.
It's cheaper then home you get in India of this size dude and it's awesome
Thanks man 😊
@@anshulbhardwaj4038 than....
If RUclips gave awards for most easy to understand and best info this would be my number one video, thank you sir.
Thank you so much I really appreciate it!!
Reminds me of when I was a little fella my mom, dad and I built our house in the woods. Took about 16 months if memory serves and that includes cutting down a lot of trees to make a plot. The biggest thing I learned from the experience even though I was very young is that my dad saved a huge amount of money by taking his time to source quality materials cheaply and sometimes even getting major things for free because people or companies were giving them away. Our house should have cost north of $35K in 1978 but daddy did it for a little over $7K. We never had a loan.
Wow that’s awesome your dad worked hard was resourceful and did a great job! Thanks for the comment.
Excellent breakdown of cost. My wife and I are researching pole barn vs stick framing houses and cost per square feet. This is by far the best video I've seen to help us make up our minds. Thank you!!
Awesome I’m so glad it helped you!! Thanks for letting me know and good luck with your planning!
This is how to do a breakdown! Very to the point and clear cut. Thank you!
Thank you for the feedback I appreciate that! My wife thought maybe I talked too fast once I got it edited and showed her but I said I pretty much need to talk that fast to say everything I want to say without being too crazy long. 😁
Agreed. So concise. Well done.
Thanks
Thank you so much for being so detailed and not taking an hour and 5 minutes to do it. Great job sir!
Thank you I appreciate that very much!
When I built my home I made extra copies of the blueprint and would give copies to three well known pluming contractors, electrical contractors etc. and choose the best one.. Same with the drywall and mason contractors. Acting as your own contractor saves a great deal of money.. One thing I couldn't do was have heated floors, as I have a full basement..You made a wise choice adding that type of heating to your home, that was an excellent choice on your part..
Yes that’s a good idea. Yes if I did a full basement I would’ve done it in the concrete floor as well and it is harder to do it on the first floor too but it’s doable. Thanks
I've done a lot of work myself around the house, but he is totally in beast mode. He practically built my dream home with the radiant heat system, mini split and spray foam insulation.
It came out looking awesome.
Thank you Willy I appreciate that! Good luck with yours if you decide to do it.
Awesome!!! I have a 30'x60' pole barn with a concrete floor. My wife and I want to have it renovated to move into with solar off grid. We are tired of always being in debt and this is pir idea of how to finally have a home with no mortgage. Thank you for sharing your experience and thankyou for doing such a great job of making it seem so organized and clean. Watching this made me feel much more relaxed about our project. I have never done anything like this before so you made me feel more relaxed about the process🙏
Awesome I’m so glad if it helped! I wish you guys the best with your endeavors. It sounds awesome to be off the grid!
What a beautiful home and that baby hand in the picture was gorgeous
Aww thanks 😊
The drive you have to work so diligently on that project after coming home from a full time job is incredible.
Thank you I appreciate that! I knew I had to get it done one way or the other. It was a big undertaking though for sure. Thanks
Glad to see that there is still people who don't care to share ways to save money and a complete break down of how and where to save and still have something of good value. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Daniel I’m glad if it was helpful. 👍
I really appreciate this video. I was just speaking to a family member about building a house for under 100k. Your video is on point.. thanks for all the great ideas
Thank you I’m glad if it helped to give some ideas. I wish you the best with your build!
Thoughtful
Detailed
Straight to the point
Great job mate
Thanks so much for the feedback I appreciate it! 👍👊
Thank you!! Yes I’ve heard California is very expensive to build. Are you planning to build elsewhere?
I remember back in the 1970s, a guy built his house from a metal building like this. Then he just bricked around the sides so it looked like a brick home. Cool ideas.
That could be really cool! 😊 thanks
@@SmartEasyDIYer he used a Star brand of metal building.
I love this! I'd take this over an over the top mansion any day! Simple and sturdy, peaceful and affordable. Thanks for sharing, very informative.
Thanks so much I really appreciate that! 😊🙏
You wanna go half one one sweetheart? 🥰😘😆
lol, I consider myself handy but wow, this is serious next level professional grade stuff. Well done. Brilliant.
Thank you so much! 🙏
I don't comment on homes but ooh my lord what a beautiful, beautiful home im in at awe
Thanks so much very much appreciated! 👍👊
Wow. Straight forward pricing and break down. Thank you for not making us wade thru minutes of B roll before you got to the main topic.
You’re welcome I’m glad if it helped! Thanks for the feedback. 😊
You're going to love this. When I built my house, 1970, my interior doors were .50 cents each and the door jam kits were $1.80 each. Talk about inflation.
Thanks! Wow yeah that’s hard to imagine. What was wage back then accordingly?
No way dude, 50 cents? That's the equivalent of $3.32 in today's money. Maybe $5 is what you paid. In 1972 a McDonald's quarter pounder was 55 cents. No way you were getting doors cheaper than a hamburger.
@@kstorm889 the only time I've ever heard of anyone getting stuff that cheap was at auction... my grandpa used to go to them all the time and would bit a cent on a pile of stuff nobody else wanted like door jams or toilet lids etc... he bought out the probably half of the hardware store in town when they moved and auctioned the old stock off.
This is fantastic. Thank you for your clear, concise videos! This is our plan for our retirement, hopefully debt-free. It's going to take us a few years to get there but we really appreciate that someone has already done this and been so transparent with costs and your experience. You are awesome!!
Thanks very much I appreciate that! Sounds like you have a good plan. 👍👊
Finally someone does a cost breakdown. 👍🏿
👍👊
We built a bardominium and cut a cost with finishing our concrete floors. We have them exposed stained and sealed, turned out awesome. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! We actually thought of that and it would’ve saved a lot of money but since we have really little kids my wife wanted a nicer floor for them to run around and fall on and I’m glad for it for our situation. Thanks for sharing
Congrats on your design, workmanship, finish and utility choices and kudos to your incredible work ethic! Beautiful home for a lovely family.
Thank you very much! 👍👊
This is the best detailed explanation I’ve seen online so far... so appreciated
Thank you I’m glad you liked it!
Not bad price per square foot most conventional built homes today are in that 225 to 250 range. Your home has very little exterior maintenance as well looks good great job.
Thanks! Yeah it’s pretty crazy what houses cost on average nowadays per sq ft.
I had a boyfriend that converted a pole barn to a home. Both ends are garages but he has a full size bar and other things that are so cool. Great job, beautiful home!
Thanks! That sounds really cool!
This is the best video in this genre that I’ve seen
Thank you that means a lot I’m glad if it was helpful!
Excellent analysis of your cost breakdown. You built a beautiful home. Congratulations. Quality and good practices used throughout. Loved watching the build video. Haven’t seen then all but plan on catching up soon.
Thank you so much! 👊👍
Thank you kindly for the breakdown as well as showing and explaining the build process. It is exactly what people like me have been waiting for. Your video etc also allows people to attempt their build on a smaller scale yo start off with. Much appreciated.
Awesome I’m so glad thank you for the comment!!
Holy Moly! That is a beautiful place, you did fantastic work with it all! I'm still 10-12 years from building a home on a 26 acre retirement property in eastern Oklahoma, which I've already purchased and paid off, but this (what you've done) is definitely what I want to do at the site. Seeing what you've done with your place, is very inspiration for the functional floor space, and cost effective approach. You should go into business for yourself, doing builds like this!
Thanks so much! 😊 I appreciate the feedback too. Sounds like you will have some time to research and plan. I wish you the best with it!
You helped me a lot, we are looking to build a 40x60 building for a church. It won’t have as many divisions like rooms for a house; it will be a single room, 40x60. I hope now this days I spend less. Thanks, God bless you and your family and business.
Thank you Ricardo I appreciate it a lot! God bless you and your efforts.
@@SmartEasyDIYer thanks, be safe, blessings.
Awesome! Love your home! Best part you know it all you! Wife and I gutted an hundred year old home and add complete second floor! It’s our and we love every square inch of it as I expect you do too!
That’s awesome! My wife and I always thought that’d be fun to do but she has bad allergies every time we’re in an old house so we decided that’s not happening. Thank you
Thank you for being so straight forward. Now I am more interested in seeing your entire build series.
Thank you I appreciate that!
Great presentation --- concise, informative, complete. Well done without wasting time. Thank you.
Thanks so much!! Thanks for believing me too. 😊
Very nice job I must say. My building was built in May of this year, 56' x 64'. It cost me $37,000 and the center 28' x 64' has a 16' ceiling. I can't believe the price you paid for your concrete, great price. Mine was $14,000. Once again great job on your building.
Thanks I appreciate the feedback. Sounds like a nice building.
I love your attention to detail and unlike other channels, you get into the specifics of much need to know information. Thank you for this.
Hey Sean thank you so much for your feedback I really appreciate it!
Im so glad to see that the baby helped too. ❤
Yes they did 😁 thanks
This is EXACTLY what I have been looking for! Thank you for this and I'm sure I'll be watching the entire series and this video multiple times!
You’re welcome! Awesome thanks for letting me know. I’m glad if it can help to give you some ideas. Good luck with all your planning!
If anyone was like, "Im going to save $375 by NOT framing the exterior walls.".. They should take a good hard look at their priorities 🤣 Seems like framing those walls is a no brainer.
Thank you. That was my thoughts too when I figured out the difference.
It depends on what you know about post and beam construction. Normally Gerts would take whatever siding was going to be applied. For an insulated building such as a home SIP's would be applied on the outside of the posts with a 5/8's drywall panel for a fire block sandwiched between the SIP and the posts with the posts exposed on the inside. Framing the "walls" doesn't add anything other than something to nail to on the inside.
If he had used prefabbed SIP's he would have saved a lot of labor, you do have to like the look of the posts on the inside.
Well that depends on how well insulated you want your walls to be...
He's talking 24 OC instead of 16 OC which is the NEW NORMAL I would have went with 2x6 and ate the extra calories
Thank you! It's a beautiful home and you should be very proud of yourself for all your hard work, knowledge, & skills. I'll probably end up building something similar when I retire (less than 2 years) but I'll outsource the heavy work. Hard work and long days is a young person's game. I'll be more a contractor managing the subcontractors. More expensive but worth it to me. Thanks again.
You’re very welcome! That sounds like a good plan. 😊
Hardwork will keep you young. I knew of an Italian who was doing concrete into his 90's
Wow that’s crazy! Good for him!
The wold needs
More family’s like your that are Patient and get what they really want you have everything you want in one home that you were living the rest of your life and hand down to your children I applaud you what a great job
Thanks Ryan I really appreciate your kind words! 😊
Nice job . You did a great thing for your family seeing what Dad did .
Thank you much appreciated 😊 🙏
Hahaha I can tell he's lived in a home that had outlets in the most inconvenient places... look at all those BEAUTIFUL wall plugs everywhere! Well done M8
Hahaha you know it! I hate not being able to find one handily. Lol thanks for noticing. 😉
@@SmartEasyDIYer it's the little things, very nice home all around brother!
Yes it is sometimes. Thanks man I appreciate that!
Sometimes you must live in the house to know where to put an outlet. Most houses have them in the wrong place, either to high or to low. I like an outlet under my windows instead of at the end of the window.
Yes for sure👍
Built that house for about the same price as a full size pickup truck!
Yeah isn’t that crazy!! Especially a big 3/4 ton diesel. 😮
Yeah and notice is old Chevrolet works just fine for him
That it does. 1989 5 speed stick. Runs good. 😊 it’s mostly my plow truck in the winter but I use it here and there too. The best thing is no payments.
That shows how overpriced vehicles are, then the moment you buy a new one you're already upside-down on the loan
@@otallono the reason trucks are so high is the high pay union workers are way over paid 40 plus hour to put on parts to much
Simply stunning! It looks like my dream house.
Thanks man I really appreciate the comment! Dreams do come true 👍👊
Wow. You are so hard-working, thorough and thoughtful on the research, expenses, comparisons, and working with what you have, like your land's steepness. Very well-designed and carefully built. God bless!
Thank you I really appreciate your feedback! Blessings to you as well.
You are spot on with the shell cost of the building. I built my mom a 30x40 with a loft in it over the summer. About 22k in it total. I stick framed the wall vs poles and perlings just because I was gonna come back and do it anyway.
Thanks! Sounds like a fun project and that’s awesome you helped your mom out!!
This is actually really inspiring. I have friends and family from all walks of construction that would happily help with a build. I imagine financing to build is more difficult to obtain than a standard mortgage.
Thank you! Yes I didn’t really get to touch on that in this video but from what I’ve gathered it is a little harder to finance this type of structure. What we found helped out was to try to finance the property and put as big of a down payment as you can on the construction loan for the house. This type of structure it’s pretty common in our area so it wasn’t as big of a deal as what I’ve heard from others. Thanks for the comment.
Smart Easy DIY I've found it's difficult to finance land, except city lots, that has no house on it already. Glad you were able to.
I love it. I just wanted to let you know that those radiant heated floor systems can freeze and bust so have some kind of back up heating for when the power goes out for extended periods of time. Thank you for the video.
Thank you! Well they don’t freeze if they have enough antifreeze or glycol in them. That’s what they are supposed to put in them. But yes it’s good to have a back up like a woodstove or something if the power goes out. Thanks
Yes also my brother had a system and it really didn’t work well that was my main experience with them. Some systems are better than others I’m sure though. Also it seems to take longer to recoup the cost of a system like that from what I’ve seen. Just my thoughts
This video is extremely helpful! Thank you for walking us through your journey and breaking everything down. It turned out beautiful.
Thanks Audrey that means a lot! I’m glad if you found it helpful. 😊
Prices all listed, simple, to the point. This was nice and easy to watch. Thank you.
Thank you! 😊
@@SmartEasyDIYer You're welcome ☺ I rewatched with my 16 year old son and he was excited to see the prices and the way you broke them down. He has been building a tiny house in building trades at his high school. We love this kind of stuff. Fingers crossed on the Dewalt set giveaway!! Thank you again for posting 😊
That’s really awesome that he’s learning! We need more young people to learn to build stuff. Thanks for entering the giveaway I appreciate you watching! 😊
Love the clarity and lack of fluff!!
Thanks for the information
Thank you! 🙏
Your home is beautiful. Thanks for the video. You did work your butt off. I appreciate all the prices that you figured in or out. I would love to have one.
Thank you so much I appreciate the feedback!
Awesome build brother, and I'm glad RUclips put this video in my recommendations.
Thanks so much I appreciate the comment! 👍👊
This house is absolutely perfect for me. Love the simplicity, clean no fuss style. All I don't like are the track lights. We had those in our second home and it was such a mistake. The bulbs are costly and they add up because there are so many of them. They get hot too. They do look good. But not enough for the aggravation.
Thank you! Yeah you mean the can lights? We didn’t use any track lights. We might’ve gone a little overkill but we wanted it nice and bright since the last house we had was very dark. We did some research for light spacing based on a 10 foot ceiling and this is what we came up with. These LEDs actually weren’t too expensive and don’t give off much heat. Thanks
More leds + less wattage per = more light coverage and lower heat output / power usage
@@SmartEasyDIYer I ACTUALLY HAVE BUILT SEVERAL HOMES INCLUDING A 1.8 MILLION DOLLAR TRAVERTINE CUSTOM HOME down to a $20K addition. I thought the lighting was very nice. easy to dim, hard to add them lol GREAT JOB......................
Thanks Ed! Sounds like a nice build.
Thank you for detailing cost. So many do not.
I agree, your house is soooooo neat & clean.
Thanks I appreciate the feedback! 😊
This is the best cost by cost video I have ever saw.
Thank you for the feedback! 👊
So glad I found this video! Everything you did for this barn house is just absolutely AMAZING!! Thank you for sharing all of this information packed video.
You’re welcome. I’m glad you found it helpful. Thank you for the feedback
Great accomplishment, this is a durable, comfortable home done for a fraction of the price of the average new home. I recently helped a friend build a 1100sf home that ended up costing him $250k, which was a good price for the area (WA state). Contractor-built homes start at $400/sf, anything under $125/sf is considered impossible.
The importance of an HRV can't be overstated. A simple design is key to this type of cost profile. If you're handy or willing to do some work, there are a couple of other cost saving opportunities on two of the biggest budget lines which are notoriously overpriced: Windows and cabinets. If you can live with a few non-opening picture frame windows, they're easy to make and insulated glass is cheap. Cabinets are pretty easy to build as well. Congrats and thanks for putting this info out there!
Thanks for the comment! I appreciate the input you shared for others to think about. There are many ways to save money by doing things yourself like you said. Yes you could make some simple cabinets if you had the time and had a clean dry area to work in. The kitchen was one area my wife wanted certain things and didn’t want to compromise on and looking back I’m glad we did a nice big kitchen. Got to keep the cook happy right? 😁
Those are some crazy prices per sq ft you shared wow I can’t imagine paying that much. That sound about right though I would say most typical homes here are typically $150- $300 a sq ft depending on if it’s a spec house with bare bones cheap everything or one with nicer upgrades. It can vary a lot. Thanks again
Another idea is to buy used. I’m in Wa too and we have places like Habitat For Humanity stores and Reuse in seattle. They have TONS of stuff from windows and doors to toilets, sinks and cabinets. Washington is insanely expensive though.
Its definitely good to check those places yes. Thanks for sharing.
So you did all the lot clearing yourself ? What an awesome house you built thank you for sharing and again it's awesome !!!
I ended up having the guy that put the septic in take down the trees then I had another neighbor come in with the excavator and do some clearing cuz the first guy was too busy. After watching this Do you think you’ll be able to do everything you want for 70k?
I feel like this guy can teach me how to diy a triple bypass on myself. The most amazing guide ever. You rock bro!
Hahaha that’s too funny 😁
Awesome that you were willing to share the real costs. You rock. Very nice looking house.
Thanks so much!
You gave absolutely wonderful instructions & cost-breakdowns for this beautiful barn!🤗 VERY informative! Thank You-It’s a great video. 🥰
Awesome I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for letting me know. 😊
Not building, or looking to build a house lol, but This was in my recommended so i watched, and It was lovely :)
Haha thanks so much for the feedback I appreciate that a lot! Thanks for watching and commenting too. 😊
Well done!!!!! I am so impressed with the outcome. You have a beautiful home. Honestly.
Thanks so much!! I’m glad
If you liked it. I appreciate the feedback. 👍👊
Very Informative , particularly from a Pricing perspective.
I'm in Cold Climate so it was good to see "Snow" and how well your home coped with it .....
Thank you I appreciate you letting me know! Yes snow is some thing we get a lot of. Lol
I was not expecting the inside to be that beautiful.
Thank you! 😊
Suggested Ideas... #1-- Storm/Tornado safety needs and ways for Pole Barns...
#2-- "Basic Pole Barn Home designed for future additions & growth...
Nice presentation and ideas-- Big Thanks
Good things to think about if you’re in a tornado area for sure. We don’t have those where I live. Thanks for sharing.
Great info! Thanks for sharing. It turned out awesome. You deserve a big pat on the back for a job well done.
Thank you! 😊
What size is yours going to be?
@@SmartEasyDIYer 40x60 with an 8x60 porch on the front and the back. So we will have one solid truss that spans the house and porch. 1 story as we do not want to deal with any stairs as we get older.
Sounds awesome look forward to seeing it! 👍👊
Thanks so much for this video! It is exactly what we needed to see! We are just starting to clear our land to do a similar build! Your house turned out great!
Thank you! I’m glad if it helped to give some ideas. Best of luck with your build!
Hats off to you. Those real time cost numbers are very nice. You are appreciated.
Thank you!
This was an awesome video! My husband and I are currently living as cheap as possible trying to save up money to build our pole barn house! We are planning on contracting the shell and floor. My uncle is an electrician and my cousin is a plumber so they've already agreed to help us with that. And family will help us finish out the inside (for beer and pizza of course!). This video really helped put the cost into perspective for us!
Thanks so much! Sounds like a good plan. Pizza and beer is a much cheaper option. 😉😁 I wish you the best with your project!
This is amazing. Wish I could build a house for my kids!
Thank you!
Best video straight to the chase and so much information!! This was awesome as I’m looking towards the pole barn structure as well over traditional home structure
Thanks I’m glad if it helped. Good luck with your search.
This video is the best and exactly what I was looking for
Thanks so much! I’m glad if it was helpful! I don’t get many Sasquatch comments on here. 😁
I love it. This is what my husband and I are gonna do
Awesome I wish you the best with your build!
Thank you for the great information it's awesome that you are able to convey all the information so clearly, and it will help a lot of us going down this road.
Awesome glad to hear! And thank you. Good luck with your planning!
One word: FABULOUS! One sentence: I hope before I die, I can build my own home.
Thank you! I hope you get too as well. 😊
Detailed, concise, under 15 min video, with an amazing finished project. Thanks for sharing and taking the time to break all this down.
It's a dream of mine to own a decent plot of wooded land and live in a building similar to this, but on a smaller scale. Really helped by showing how much you can do for such a good price.
Thank you so much for the feedback I’m glad if you enjoyed it. Keep on going Dreams do come true! 😊 thanks
This was incredible, hope life changing this could be.
Thank you!
I really appreciated your presentation here. Thanks for having no music or background soundtrack. My son is wanting to build very soon. This looks like an excellent option. Including land, in a place for under 150K with well and septic possible.
Thanks Neil I appreciate the feedback. Yeah I think it’s definitely a good thing to research to see what he wants to do. Good luck to you and him both!
Awesome! I love radiant heat. It feels so nice when you walk across the floors. Great job! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, yes radiant heat is awesome!
I wish I could have this house built. Beautiful!
Thank you I appreciate that! I hope
You can too sometime. 😊
Thank you for the breakdown, and great job!
You’re welcome. I’m glad you liked it. 😊
This is absolutely spectacular. I wish I had the audacity to pull this off. LOL.
Thank you! 😊
I just need the funding lol
I like how you did your outside walls. I live in a hangar barn home which is bigger than this one but my outside wall framing was done by the company that built the shell. My friends and I built all the inside. Nicely done! Watching videos as building a barn soon and planning a guest apartment in it.
Thanks for the comment and the feedback. Sounds like you got a fun project ahead. Good luck with it all! I like your last name sounds very German.
I built most of my own house when I was 29 years old, I worked 8 hours per day at work and 4 hours on the house, I lived 4 miles from where I was building and had to drive right by the building site to get home. I worked 10 hours per day on the weekends and thanks to my brother in law helping I got in in 7 months. I was totally worn out from the process and could not bring my self to finish some small tasks that remained for three or four months after we moved in. I worked on a building that had a concrete slab floor with radiant heat and it was great. The worst part about radiant heat is the water must be free from minerals and where I live the water is really hard, limestone, and that is really a problem. You have to keep up on the water treatment or you will be in trouble. I like your house, I will never build another one but I would probably build a metal building, not a pole barn but with traditional foundation and stud walls like I did my 20 x 25 storage building.
Cool thanks for sharing. It is a lot of work I totally get that. I knew if I didn’t push through and get the trim in it may never happen! Lol
Wow! thats an awesome house considering how much it costs to put it all together. Good luck finding a house for under 100k these days, they dont exists unless you move somewhere like Detroit or Flint.
Thank you! 🙏
Great job! Your house is of better quality than Toll Brothers builds. They build garbage that falls apart in 5 years. Your house will be standing long after theirs have been torn down.
There’s a huge difference in price per square foot in what they build and what you did. In my neighborhood, builders are charging $1.2 million for a new 5,000 sq. ft. house with 2500 sq. ft. basement. Here’s a typical cost breakdown:
Land (1/4 acre lot with a tear down on it): $335k
Tear down and dump fees: $15k
Materials AND Labor for the build (site prep, foundation, framing, electrical, plumbing, roof, siding, interior finishes, etc.): $400k
Carrying costs (financing, taxes, permits, etc.) plus selling costs: $90k
Builder profit: $360k 🤔 💰
I’m amazed people will pay these prices. They’re getting ripped off and are completely clueless.
Wow that is a lot of money!! What state is this in?
Smart Easy DIY it’s in Georgia
Wow that’s crazy!! That’s hard for me to imagine. Thanks btw.
Smart Easy DIY Yes, it boggles my mind. In another neighborhood, the tear down properties are $700k and the rebuilds sell for $1.6 - 2 million. I know of another neighborhoods where the tear down properties are 1-2 acres and they sell for $1 million and the rebuilds are $3 - 20 million. 😳
By the way, your kitchen cabinets are very nice.
ABSOLUTE LY A GREAT HOUSE LOVE IT GREAT JOB LIKE THE WAY U BROKE EVERYTHING DOWN
Thank you so much Laura I appreciate you letting me know!!
Great job! My husband and I want to build one like this as a dog trot style. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Linda I hope yours turns out great!
