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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

*I have to congratulate you on the construction of your family home - This is quality work on a job well done Sir ! I love how you have chosen radiant heating and having everything on a single, ground floor. The size of your rooms and the wide, open space style is very appealing. I particularly like your huge kitchen area. Bravo ! Well done at an affordable price. Pole barn houses rock !*

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.

@SmartEasyDIYer

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 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

$7600 for doors and windows, I had a guy from Arthur Anderson come to my house and quote to replace eight windows installed, the quote was $14k. I told the guy to leave my house ASAP before I threw him out by the scruff of his neck! LOL!

Wow that’s a lot! I know Anderson is high priced usually. These were quite cheap but they seem to do ok. If I did it again I probably would spend a little more on the windows but they do the job ok.
