Eh, I am a first time viewer, this video title w/thumbnail sparked my interest. I enjoyed your fresh rambling compared to many people's over edited videos. It left more of an honest feeling of sharing & getting to know you, as yourself. So, thanks. I wanted to give a little encouragement for spontaneous video.
I have to agree with the previous reply,,it wasn't rambling, you did a great, honest job. I also feel many videos are edited way too much, and choppy. Best of luck to you, as you help finish off your dad new home.. I have been doing research (youtube), on different types of dwellings, from ship containers, house boats, tiny houses, shed, etc..., so far, liking this the best...There are pros and cons with most things, just have to weigh out personal preferences, and I think you did just that. Great Job!!!
@@barbibutton9619 Do a lot of research of what is allowed and what the requirements are before spending any money on a project like this. Also factor in the cost of finishing the interior. I had a builder build me a garage/workshop to code for me to convert to a house in the future.
i did the same thing. built a 50x50 and used 20ft in the back for an apartment. trick is to build the building and get your utilities in and then convert it over. that way you can bypass codes. if they think you are building it for a dwelling you are opening up a whole new can of worms
I am in the very beginning of trying to find a building to convert, and this was EXTREMELY HELPFUL... Thank you so very much...and your ""RAMBLING"" was quite informative and useful to me. Lots of stuff to absorb and learn.
I know, right? The neighbors don't hear you yelling at the kids and there's always something that needs done. On the downside, by the time you think you are getting a handle on how to do things your mortality becomes apparent. It's a good way though. Do it. Some things to consider: Stick to a paved road and gravel driveway at minimum if the climate gets rain and snow. Thats unless you really like a dirty car. Determine what services you are willing to be without. Electricity. High probability there will be service. Who maintains the service to the road? Rural water. Is it even available? Our local district has a set annual growth percentage because they purchase from a nearby city. I'm on a well and septic system. Aquifer will provide any volume I need. I estimate the septic was designed for eight humans in our four bedroom house. Gas. Try to have it. In the previous house propane always needed a refill late March/early April. Now take my word here. By no means do you ever want to have your tank go pressureless. It takes a lot of effort to relight everything. There's a phrase. It takes twenty years to get twenty years experience. I've had more, and my grandfather died while my father was young. A lot of basic generational-type knowledge did not pass to this one. The internet helped learn this hard-headed man. A lot. By about the third try I can make home improvements start to look like they were not completed by a total neophyte. Contract anything that needs an inspection. Make friends with your new neighbors. They are the historical internet. County Extension Office and Soil Conservation Service are too and you already pay for it. I'm not a farmer, rancher, etc. I just wanted a little space. Mowing three acres can be therapy. It takes your attention but gives time to think. Good luck, God bless.
I hate to "troll", but I feel this video holds much along the lines of missinformation. picking up the best I can from your footage, there are many dificiencies structurally, for a "habitable" structure at least. there are no substantial headers or shoulder stud assemblies over the openings. The studs appear to be 24" on center which isn't all bad, but there's only a single top plate. That being said, the trusses/rafters should stack directly over the studs in order properly transfer the loads to the foundation. I did notice a few overspan stud bays as the camera panned around. If the roof is bearing on ribbon headers (independently strung and not actual multiply) supported by the 6X6 posts at (?) on center, than it's merely an agriculture structure, no more superior than a garden shed. The crawlspace, the overspan/cantilevered floor joists over the "center" bearing/beam is just sloppy/lazy. When the floor is under full load the excess/cantilevered joists will have significant uplift. A knowledgeable builder would have cut the joists flush with the outer end of the bearing. Over time you will begin to hear the subsructure creek as the cantilevered end of the joists begin to compromise the subfloor. You can remedy this by applying a sufficient nailing pattern throughout the cantilevers. Contact me if you'd like. I'll spec it out free of charge for you. The Advantec subfloor is about the only redeemable thing I've seen in this structure. It is a great product. In closing, Amish built does not mean quality built. If anything, it means it's only "spec'd" for agriculture. In short, agriculture code has very low duration of loading, and usually meets poor deflection criteria. they build nice overpriced furniture, but put little thought/have little knowledge into structural engineering. Please feel free to contact me if you have questions. I so appreciate the RUclips community and love to help.
Would you please be so kind as to share info on the Amish builder? Your father’s house will be very nice once he is done with the build out. I really like his big porches! Thanks so much for your video!
You're doing Great, you're not rambling much at all! I Love your house, Everything looks Good, and I can't wait to see the total finishings, it is All so Exciting, Thank You for Sharing it with us, God Bless You Sir! 😇😇😇
I stumbled on this today. I've been watching the Crocker homestead convert a 16x50 shed to their house. It's amaze balls! But you just blew my mind with THIS. Now I need more info. What brand is this? Square foot? I need 2 bedrooms. I want 2 bathrooms. I don't know anything about these. Please do more videos about the house. I hate the infomercial voices people use on videos. You were so easy to listen to and so personable and just talked like you were hanging out with friends. Don't edit. Stay real. Love the video!!❤✌😁
@@Manchew cool. TY as I am very very seriously considering a similar building. Was going tiny but the prices have gone up and they dont provide the extra space, width etc of one of these
Built well but you still need insulation and the 2x6 walls are perfect for getting a higher r-value than a 2x4 wall. Wrapping it does seal it and stop most of the air flow but heat can still transfer through the walls from the exterior to the interior in the summer and vice versa in the winter. A little spent now can save a lot in the long run.
This is nice. Yes, it will cost more than a regular shed, but it's much sturdier than a shed, and I'm guessing the total cost will be less than a conventional house that is that high off the ground. The posts in the ground as the foundation is much cheaper than a concrete block foundation would be. Basically, what you have is a converted pole barn with high enough ceilings that made it possible for a crawlspace you can actually sit up in. Also, enclosing the area under the porch to create a storage area was a great idea! Me likey!
Nice video sir! I am in the finishing stages of a 20x24 gambrel roof open floor second floor area and built in 3 days by an Amish crew with 6x6 treated posts and factory 2 piece trusses. All other work being done by us including floors ,walls ,insulation, widows and doors. Just some trim and staining to go. Heated with a Vermont castings vigilant with ease after insulation in Pa.
Oh my. You’re the man I need to speak with. You just spared me from purchasing a shed/cabin to put on a piece of property. With this it’s actually possible to bring it to building code after it has been set up. I’ve got so many questions I wish I could ask.
You are so sweet to help out your Dad. God bless you. If I ever get married again i'm looking for someone that is compassionate like you. The video is awesome. Ty
$21,000! I think many people do not realize that you do not have to live tiny to live inexpensively. I have good insulation, so my lights only run $42 mth and highest gas bill this artic cold winter in KC was $47 - leaves me $1,159 on my monthly paycheck b/c I pay my monthly bills ANNUALLY! Wonderful video! I appreciated your rambling, especially your info about a cell phone booster and tin, and the waterproofed 1" floor sheathing. I did not know that! You should go for 1/2 solar, 1/2 electricity.
Going T UK by (as in a Tiny house) has become incredibly expensive. I wanted one 6 yrs ago but have since changed my mind because of price and the damn zoning to park them. Glad I waited. This is much roomier, cheaper, permanent option
Awesome job on the video !! Shed conversions are such a bad idea for many reasons and there are A LOT of better options. Your dads house looks very nice !
My sheds to offices wall studs are 24 inch apart. I still insulated both buildings on the ceiling and walls. We raised the roof to accommodate a regular size door and transom windows near the ceiling.
I'm extremely interested in this type of building. I wish I could see how they put those 6x6 beams in so he could have such a tall crawl space. I can't wrap my head around how they did that, except I guess that they built it on site. I wish I could have watched them build it. We have many new Amish families that have moved into our neighborhood here in Western NC. I'm going to have to go see some of them to see if they will build me a house like this! I Love This! Thanks for sharing!
I prefer the "real time" of non-edited videos, it's more realistic & u r not rambling, just talking to us. 😊I enjoy listening and learning along with u, thank u for sharing your journey- it's greatly appreciated by many besides just me, I'm sure! 🤗 Keep up the good work!
YES YES YES...ME TOO. I get more out of it - just information & sharing - not trying to impress or gain subscribers or views, no arrogance. Much easier to absorb the info because for me, I'm not distracted by all that other hype I mentioned
Great video!!!A beautiful layout and really a substantial little home!! The porches really make it more a home!!! I look forward to more videos!😊💖 make more videos!!!
1st time aeeing a video of your. Great home. Wish you would have filmes inatalling electric and plumbing - would have been interesting and informative. Congrats on your Dad's place.
WOW~ GREAT INFORMATION~ and Beautiful Ideas. This house can be created by others. I love the space under the house for storage. I could see this house being made for people, as a luxury inside and out animal shelter, or as an office for business people, realtors, doctors, veterinarians or others. THANK YOU FOR YOUR GREAT VIDEO & for all of your GREAT visual and verbal information.
You don't need editing, this is fine. I do hope that you install a hand railing down the stairs for your dad's (and your) safety. It's a great little house! I hope you follow this through until completion! I'd love to see how it turns out!
Thank you for sharing. My daughter is researching alternative housing such as she’d To house. I’ve sent this to her and I’m a new subscriber. Love ❤️ Sekhmet SapphyreSun❤️😻🙏🏾
This is great. Just found this video. Great work. Nice build they did. And I love the crawl space under the house. Nothing worse then having to scoot around on your back under a house. This is awesome. Your video is fine to me. I like videos raw. Joined your channel.
Appreciate the insight! My late husband grew up on farm in Ohio where they hired the Amish routinely to build their dairy barns! Phenomenal workers and craftsmen.
Looks great. I also hope you installed a termite treatment system before you installed the foundation or stem wall... just some perforated pvc pipe with a permeable sleeve (think French drain) with an outside connector to fill with your preferred liquid treatment
the amish always impress me with their quality of work. if i had the money, i would not hesitate to hire them to build me a house. i know it would be quality work. and you did fine and you seem like a nice guy. good luck
Thank you for the video. Love the barn house. Even better it's built solid. I am selling my 4-5 bedroom house and moving back to the country. This is something I am very interested in having built.
What a wonderful son you are to help your dad in this extreme way the gift of a home it can't get any better than that. I just wanna she shed in my back yard but I live in the city and I want to rent my big house out and live in the shed.
I absolutly love it.....its going to be beautiful, the only thing that may be a problem is, as he gets older , it dont look wheel chair assesible...You might could make some sort of lift, or elevator for him...but He must really love all that space, beautiful.
Very nice. That's one heckuva crawl space too. 👍✌️ I just bought some property way out in the country and I'm looking for something like this. Thanks for sharing.
I think alot more people would buy something like this if they built them in their area. I am in Texas and I have not seen any Amish built she/barns made here.
Your statement about not needing insulation, I feel bad of you have cold winters or hot summers cause that wrap isn't really insulation it's a vapor barrier with a mylar backing, it gives you at most an R-value of 1.5-2 its not going to do much. I know personally as I've used it on my own cabin that I'm building myself.
a lot of these companys have a "vapor barrier hybrid" its a vapor barrier with a inner area full of insulation. Im guessing thats the type of wrap he has here. so its a vinyl on the outside with a fiberglass insulation enclosed within it.
@@brokebutfunctioninggarage I hope so but it looks just like what I have on my cabin as a vapor barrier, and it's pretty much just bubble wrap with a thin shiny side
How so? It's not that you CAN"T heat it, it's how much will it take to do so? If there's to be no additional insulation added, (bad idea), why would you pay extra for 2x6 walls? The only real reason for 2x6 is to add more insulation. A 2x4 wall is more than structurally sound. I would also worry about condensation in there. If it's too tight, it's gonna rain inside.
They are 2×6 so it lines up with the main support post.so you dont have to deal with off set depth for sheet rock or what ever kind of interior finishing you want to do.
This video was fine, I liked what you did. 2 Questions. The in-ground posts. What size? 6"x6"? And, are these posts set in an enclosure, such as a tube then filled with cement or placed in a dug out hole then filled with cement or just dirt back filled? Thanks and good luck with all your doings.
Nice bang for the buck, just a couple of tips if I may... 1. film with the light behind the camera 2. for others thinking about something like this 6x6 treated posts in the ground will not last that long and should be in or on concrete... I'm talking 15/ 20 years (maybe longer) but someone will have to deal with them in the future. I'm sure it would not meet code in our area. People do that for outbuildings and barns but not for living spaces. It will be a big pain in the butt to repair them in the future, so do it right at the get go.
That's great and I applaud your process but just for clarity you can build a "shed" with any specs you choose...2X6 framing 16 in on center, wall height you choose, monolithic slab, insulation drywall finish, siding all your choice....its all good..either way both ways work well
That crawlspace underneath my seem like a waste to some people, but trust me, the 1st time you have to work under there you WILL appreciate it. My wife's home was built LOW to the ground - 3 cinderblocks high in the front & 2 high in the back. You have to crab-crawl the entire time you're under there and get between the floor joists to roll over from your belly to your back & vice-versa. Whether it's water or sewer, you just have to man up and bear it. If you have to make multiple trips in & out for a repair, you're crippled up the next day. And if you run into a snake, possum, or racoon, you're not going anywhere fast. I've never had to take a pistol with me to work on plumbing before, but I do now. A friend of mine had bought an old house for cheap with the intention of doing a full gut-out renovation. It was also built low to the ground. A few days before Christmas 2018, he had a water pipe freeze up & break. He went under the house to fix it. There happened to be a 110 volt line with the old cloth & paper type insulation with enough slack to sag down to the ground. Sadly to say, it was near the water leak. The house also had the old fuse type breaker box. When he got into the water, the electrical shock killed him instantly. If he had a higher crawlspace, he may have seen the danger. I'll never go under my house again without killing the main breaker. One last thing: if your house isn't built on a concrete slab, it needs to be at least 4 cinderblocks high. If not, even with a vapor barrier on the ground, another stapled to the floor joists, & adequate foundation vents, the moisture will wreak havoc on your foundation & floors. You'll end up having to replace floors & joists about every 10-12 years. My wife's house is 21 years old. The floor in the room that's the lowest to the ground has been replaced 3 times. It needs replaced now + the floor joists as well. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. And going cheaper in the beginning is never gonna pan out in the long run. I appreciate this video. My wife's son has been saving up money to buy a double-wide to move onto an additional lot we have. He probably has close to the money your Dad spent getting his pole barn/home built. I'll show him this. I think it's a good alternative and much sturdier than a mobile home. Thanks for the heads up. A lot of channels never talk price, and if they do it's wildly under-estimated.
Excellent video. You don’t need any editing software. As others have commented, you have room for more insulation. You may be sorrow if you don’t take advantage of this opportunity.

@@msbettyduke agree!
we call that a pole barn, I built a 36x60 with 14 ft ceilings on a 8 inch slab 18 years ago for 14k still looks good as the day it was built
To live in or to rent out as a home? I'm seriously considering one of these one I purchase the land. TY for any subsequent info
@@barbibutton9619 Do a lot of research of what is allowed and what the requirements are before spending any money on a project like this. Also factor in the cost of finishing the interior.

There's a lot to consider when making changes like moving out of a city. Especially when new construction is involved.

1st time aeeing a video of your. Great home. Wish you would have filmes inatalling electric and plumbing - would have been interesting and informative. Congrats on your Dad's place.
WOW~ GREAT INFORMATION~ and Beautiful Ideas. This house can be created by others. I love the space under the house for storage. I could see this house being made for people, as a luxury inside and out animal shelter, or as an office for business people, realtors, doctors, veterinarians or others. THANK YOU FOR YOUR GREAT VIDEO & for all of your GREAT visual and verbal information.
I just subscribed. You did a great job with video and showing the barn house. Congrats. .
It's nice to have family help u build
You don't need editing, this is fine. I do hope that you install a hand railing down the stairs for your dad's (and your) safety.
It's a great little house! I hope you follow this through until completion! I'd love to see how it turns out!
Very interesting! Looks like a cost-effective option!
That's gonna be a nice place. I really like the Amish doors!👍😎
Great idea love the cedar wood he plans on putting up also 👍🏽
Thank you for sharing. My daughter is researching alternative housing such as she’d To house. I’ve sent this to her and I’m a new subscriber. Love ❤️ Sekhmet SapphyreSun❤️😻🙏🏾
Thank you. Was considering having Amish built barn to house.
I just came across your channel love the build im now subscribed
I love the doors!👍
This is great. Just found this video. Great work. Nice build they did. And I love the crawl space under the house. Nothing worse then having to scoot around on your back under a house. This is awesome. Your video is fine to me. I like videos raw. Joined your channel.
I was looking into shed to house but this is better, thank you.
Appreciate the insight! My late husband grew up on farm in Ohio where they hired the Amish routinely to build their dairy barns! Phenomenal workers and craftsmen.
Would like a link to the Amish company that build your dad's house. I didn't see that included below the video.
Need more information about Amish company
Bro said he need a link to the Amish 😂
I liked the video "rambling" was a cool style bro.
Looks great. I also hope you installed a termite treatment system before you installed the foundation or stem wall... just some perforated pvc pipe with a permeable sleeve (think French drain) with an outside connector to fill with your preferred liquid treatment
That is so 😎 how much space you have and the price is right. Love the uncut version of the video.
With the solar minimum, I would recommend more insulation. but yes better than a shed.
Ron West solar radiation minimum is actually intentionally caused by geoengineering/solar radiation management
@@pl6035 I am talking about the sun cooling naturally. What happens during cool periods and ice ages.
@@pl6035 ty. Truth that the Powers that Shouldn't be won't tell you
the amish always impress me with their quality of work. if i had the money, i would not hesitate to hire them to build me a house. i know it would be quality work. and you did fine and you seem like a nice guy. good luck
Good video it will be really nice for dad 👍
Thank you for the video. Love the barn house. Even better it's built solid. I am selling my 4-5 bedroom house and moving back to the country. This is something I am very interested in having built.
Nice vid bro.
Very nice and spacious too...
You did a great job on the video. Nice alternative idea for a house.
I love it. Great job.
What a wonderful son you are to help your dad in this extreme way the gift of a home it can't get any better than that. I just wanna she shed in my back yard but I live in the city and I want to rent my big house out and live in the shed.
Excited for you guys man ! My wife and I have been trying to figure out which way to go and just so happens we are rich with Amish neighbors 👍
I really like this . Thanks for the info . You are right , looks to be built a lot better than the sheds .
I absolutly love it.....its going to be beautiful, the only thing that may be a problem is, as he gets older , it dont look wheel chair assesible...You might could make some sort of lift, or elevator for him...but He must really love all that space, beautiful.
No, problem… no editing needed. Love the authenticity.
Very nice. That's one heckuva crawl space too. 👍✌️
I just bought some property way out in the country and I'm looking for something like this. Thanks for sharing.
That’s amazing brother. Good on y’all.
I think alot more people would buy something like this if they built them in their area. I am in Texas and I have not seen any Amish built she/barns made here.
Great video you did an awesome job can't wait to see the finished product !
Hello, I just subscribed. Great idea to raise it upon those larger poles and have a decent crawl space under it.
If your building for a senior parent, could they handle steps if they fall it's all over.
Your statement about not needing insulation, I feel bad of you have cold winters or hot summers cause that wrap isn't really insulation it's a vapor barrier with a mylar backing, it gives you at most an R-value of 1.5-2 its not going to do much. I know personally as I've used it on my own cabin that I'm building myself.
a lot of these companys have a "vapor barrier hybrid" its a vapor barrier with a inner area full of insulation. Im guessing thats the type of wrap he has here. so its a vinyl on the outside with a fiberglass insulation enclosed within it.
@@brokebutfunctioninggarage I hope so but it looks just like what I have on my cabin as a vapor barrier, and it's pretty much just bubble wrap with a thin shiny side
Considering there is snow on the ground and he claims its plenty warm in the house it seems to be doing its job
How so? It's not that you CAN"T heat it, it's how much will it take to do so? If there's to be no additional insulation added, (bad idea), why would you pay extra for 2x6 walls? The only real reason for 2x6 is to add more insulation. A 2x4 wall is more than structurally sound. I would also worry about condensation in there. If it's too tight, it's gonna rain inside.
They are 2×6 so it lines up with the main support post.so you dont have to deal with off set depth for sheet rock or what ever kind of interior finishing you want to do.
This video was fine, I liked what you did.
2 Questions.
The in-ground posts. What size? 6"x6"?
And, are these posts set in an enclosure, such as a tube then filled with cement or placed in a dug out hole then filled with cement or just dirt back filled?
Thanks and good luck with all your doings.
Thanks for sharing the details of your dad's she'd too house build😎
I really like this. It's built solid.
I love it! Can’t believe the price! Can’t wait to see it finished!
Nice bang for the buck, just a couple of tips if I may...
1. film with the light behind the camera
2. for others thinking about something like this 6x6 treated posts in the ground will not last that long and should be in or on concrete... I'm talking 15/ 20 years (maybe longer) but someone will have to deal with them in the future. I'm sure it would not meet code in our area. People do that for outbuildings and barns but not for living spaces. It will be a big pain in the butt to repair them in the future, so do it right at the get go.
That's great and I applaud your process but just for clarity you can build a "shed" with any specs you choose...2X6 framing 16 in on center, wall height you choose, monolithic slab, insulation drywall finish, siding all your choice....its all good..either way both ways work well
That crawlspace underneath my seem like a waste to some people, but trust me, the 1st time you have to work under there you WILL appreciate it. My wife's home was built LOW to the ground - 3 cinderblocks high in the front & 2 high in the back. You have to crab-crawl the entire time you're under there and get between the floor joists to roll over from your belly to your back & vice-versa. Whether it's water or sewer, you just have to man up and bear it. If you have to make multiple trips in & out for a repair, you're crippled up the next day. And if you run into a snake, possum, or racoon, you're not going anywhere fast. I've never had to take a pistol with me to work on plumbing before, but I do now.
A friend of mine had bought an old house for cheap with the intention of doing a full gut-out renovation. It was also built low to the ground. A few days before Christmas 2018, he had a water pipe freeze up & break. He went under the house to fix it. There happened to be a 110 volt line with the old cloth & paper type insulation with enough slack to sag down to the ground. Sadly to say, it was near the water leak. The house also had the old fuse type breaker box. When he got into the water, the electrical shock killed him instantly. If he had a higher crawlspace, he may have seen the danger. I'll never go under my house again without killing the main breaker.
One last thing: if your house isn't built on a concrete slab, it needs to be at least 4 cinderblocks high. If not, even with a vapor barrier on the ground, another stapled to the floor joists, & adequate foundation vents, the moisture will wreak havoc on your foundation & floors. You'll end up having to replace floors & joists about every 10-12 years. My wife's house is 21 years old. The floor in the room that's the lowest to the ground has been replaced 3 times. It needs replaced now + the floor joists as well. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. And going cheaper in the beginning is never gonna pan out in the long run.
I appreciate this video. My wife's son has been saving up money to buy a double-wide to move onto an additional lot we have. He probably has close to the money your Dad spent getting his pole barn/home built. I'll show him this. I think it's a good alternative and much sturdier than a mobile home. Thanks for the heads up. A lot of channels never talk price, and if they do it's wildly under-estimated.
I would still put insulation in the walls, R13 is not too expensive. A match with heat it
Right, its -1 here today, that little plastic wrap isn't going to cut it.
A better solution is a metal building, and spray foam inside.
@@integr8er66 no
@@sliderdrago8189 Lol, No what?
Would a spray foam be cheaper?
Ramble on dude. Great video.
Very inspiring, thank you for sharing.
Nice alternative.... thanks for sharing.
Nice house & excellent video
Bless all you..
The doors are really nice looking.
Thank you for posting! This is an amazing cabin/home.
Great house specially the ceiling and insulation.
Excellent video. You don’t need any editing software. As others have commented, you have room for more insulation. You may be sorrow if you don’t take advantage of this opportunity.
Cool video, edited or not I enjoyed and appreciated it and looking forward to more. Subscribed and thumbs up!
