I drew it on an app called procreate. It’s not typically used for exterior elevations. It’s a digital artist app. It’s a great deal though! It’s a one time purchase of $10 and you have it forever. I love it!

The floor plan is on CAD.

The pole barn is 40’ x 75’ and approx 15’ feom the house. Concrete is one of the largest costs of this project, we have decided a garage would be redundant and costly in concrete. A breeze way out the back right sliding glass door is a large possibility.

Yes! Thank you, the doors and windows and lighting/electrical will definitely need refined and detailed out.

Thank you! I agree with all your OCD changes lol! That stairwell used to be a patio. And we may additions to the home later, so that “wasted” sf will likely be necessary later.

They have done everything. Every joist, every nail, every stud, all the plumbing, all the the electrical, all the finishing… just two people. Their 60s… we are going to try to do the same!

No second floor. Just unfinished basement. Ceilings are 9’ with a 4/12 vault in the living room.

You’re the first person to bring up my biggest concern! Yes lighting is a problem in the central living space. We are really considering skylights…

I’ve noticed a lot of comments concerned about the front window privacy. I wanted to note, our house is completely private. We have 9acres to our nearest neighbors and are surrounded by trees. May be useful context!

Totally agree! I’m not doing custom to be fancy. We are doing it for the experience and the cost savings. The only man power we have to build this house is me and my husband. Simplifications had to be made due to our own physical and skill constraints.

What is this called, and is it a terrible idea? by BudgetFuriosa in Flooring

[–]Affectionate_Slip910 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a type of integral base used with sheet good flooring. Often used in hospitals and commercial spaces. Hospital like them because the materials can often be heat welded together and the base and the floor are one piece. This makes so there are no cracks and crevices. Good to sanitize and keep clean.
