I build my first deck several years ago and the one thing I wished I would have done is installed "Joist Tape". It is a self adhesive Joist protector the keeps the wood from rotting on the top side of the joist. I have a set of wooden stairs that need to be replaced for that exact reason. Good Job!

Pressure treated lumber holds up pretty good, but in extreme climates everything ages and eventually does not last as long as in a mild climate. I'm blessed here no harsh winters and no harsh summers.

Hello, first off I am so glad I found your channel....I love it. I would love to pick your brain on how you got started. My boyfriend and I are into real estate and we talk all the time about wanting to help people get affordable housing or to help create affordable housing for families. Now I know in this video you spent a little penny on the foundation, do you feel that if the ground would have been level that a cement block foundation would have been cheaper? I am asking because we just bought our first property ( a quarter acre and we are trying to figure out which way to go as far as a foundation. Thanks for the videos as they do help and inspire people to think outside the box.

Greetings, I spoke to my concrete guy when we were building this and he said it this was a slab it would have cost half $3,500, so you are correct, it would have been cheaper. Grading, prep it all adds up.

Post on the deck should be notched to accent rim joist!

Do you do any one on one consultations for a fee? I'm in the Triad area of NC, and am looking to do a 2-story 500 sq ft home. I've gotten the most information from this channel. Have a million notes taken, created a floor plan, went over cost for permits and etc in my area. I'm looking to pay out of pocket for the whole project, so keeping cost low is a high priority on my list. lol and I know the price of lumber is expensive right now, so i'm willing to wait if needed.

Your building codes must be a lot more relaxed. The last deck I built at our family cabin, required joist hangers. I assume you have no frost line to get under with just a brick as the foundation for the deck post? Love your videos!

Our winters are almost non existent. This year it snowed once and it all melted in 2 days the first day it was already mostly gone. Last year we had zero snow :)

How much was the lumber ?

I would suggest that you reconsider adding a loft. Reason being that it is a small cabin so storage space or additional room is not available and people always have a lot of stuff they want to keep somewhere. In a loft the temperature/moisture is more controlled compared to a basement.

@@MigraineCraftsman it sure is. One major reasons I'm aware of is the significant lack of compitiveness in material procurement here. And lots of 'good meaning' code and laws to protect the current suppliers and the current situation their benefiting from.

What makes up the cost of the $4,700 for the loft? Is that just the price your framing crew told you? Trusses vs stick framed? Etc. I'm always interested in the finer details 😀. Nice job on this video. The cabin is looking good!

Thx Gabe, taller walls because I would go with 12 foot walls and then pitch the roof so I have a stand up loft. Also loft floor framing and a way to get up there. So basically extra materials , labor hence the price, it would be cheaper if I just kept the walls at 8 feet and pitch the roof to 10/12 but I don't like to do that, I like knee walls and stand up lofts.

So are you a general contractor? I’ve been thinking about building my own house in middle Tennessee for a long time bc prices are so high for a decent house... But I have a hurdle with getting construction insurance as a non-contractor (do I even need it?!?). I’ve actually flipped a couple houses with other people about 5 years ago, but it’s impossible to find good deals now...so that’s why I want to build. Do you get your own permits or do the people who do the work obtain permits for your project? Thanks for any tips you can give!

@MigraineCraftsman

5 жыл бұрын

@@zt3457 Yes , as for building your Own house you do not need to be licensed(at least here in Georgia) Owner built homes are the exemption so you don't have to worry about a license. As for insurance you can take builders risk insurance(usually 300bucks or so) and that will cover if something happens to your build. As for the people who help you build just find someone who is insured and can provide the documents and you are golden. Permits are a piece of cake, I get them and you can get them yourself too being an owner builder. Sit down with your county, city inspector and pick his brain a bit about your concerns. That is how I did things in the beginning and still do to some extent. Building inspectors are not as evil as people make them out to be respect them they will respect you. But too many people want to show off what they know and give the inspector a hard time so guess what he is going to do? Building a house is not that hard, just gotta have common sense and know HOW to deal with people.

Migraine Craftsman Thank you so much for the advice. I will try to meet with someone at the county codes dept - that seems to be a good start. I have called about 4 insurance companies and they wouldn’t provide without being a GC. Who do you get your insurance through? Yes I really don’t it’s that hard either, especially since I would hire professionals to take care of the big difficult things. Almost all the forums Ive read suggest it’s not worth being your own contractor, so it’s nice to hear from someone who’s actually doing it!
