Too many folks concerned with the camera lens or quality of video. This is a construction video. They are not cinematographers. The other part is the part to focus on…the construction. I would be suspicious if these guys were GQ models with a team of videographers, personally. I found it interesting, guys! Wanna build one of these! I think the land around me would be massively expensive and if I could find some acreage without restrictions, it’d be off grid. Sounds romantic. But a single woman in a heavily snow covered area with dangerous freezing temps at times, may have to ponder that one pretty hard. Until my next life, I’ll keep watching and dreaming!

amazing project

What a cool project!

Great vid. Looking to building one also, very insightful

I um. My fist A-frame I built, my helper nocked me off the roof. Broke my back, hip, don't remember the fall but coming to, still a night terror to remember.

Great work! If only you were located in Northern Wisconsin, currently trying to find someone to build a Avrame Trio 150. Seems like many contractors are scared of “kits”… Any recommendations, could this be a self-build?

@IRONHORSEhomes

Жыл бұрын

Find a way to get your foundation and concrete done by a professional and I'll come out for 2 weeks and erect the kit. You can do pretty much everything from there. Quality contractors shouldn't be scared of kits! If you have construction background or carpentry skills you could get the structural kit erected, otherwise I would not recommend. Hope this helps and good luck!

Hey did you’re footings call for vertical dowels? Getting ready to build one in Bailey. Thanks!

@IRONHORSEhomes

4 ай бұрын

Yeah you need vertical dowels centered in the middle of your 8" wall to connect footings to stem wall. So if your footing is 16" wide you want them 8" from outside footing form. We usually tie our dowels in place before we pour footings but you can also cut and bend them so inspector sees them and stab them after you pour once your concrete has had time to set up.

Do you need permits, Architect , engineer signed & sealed proof drawings etc to built something like that ?

Where in Colorado was this? Looking at the Avrame kits and would love to have some one that has used their kit before doing the construction.

If they had regional teams i could see them selling more of these. Id buy one but dont think my local contractor could handle this and or it would cost a fortune

Hopefully we can get to the point where someone buys the product and the company gives me a call to erect the kit (if its in the region) for a lump sum fee. Great product but yeah you have to know what you're doing.

Maybe next time don't use a fish lense, hard to see and very distracting. Otherwise looks awesome!

Another 3ft you could have had a basement wasted space

@IRONHORSEhomes

11 ай бұрын

Basements are between 8-10'. Saved more than 60k by not doing the basement just in excavation and concrete costs, not to mention what interior finishes, appliances, etc would cost. Adequate space within the floor plan at more than 1500 square feet. Crawlspace still gives heaps of room for storage, etc.

The most useless building ever, I'm sorry, but every time you go in one, duck your head. A waste of materials and labor I was in an A Frame of sorts The base was 4 ft high and the frame mounted to that, thus no banging and ducking, nice set up.
