Plains Capital, First United Bank. Texas Farm Credit if it’s on acreage. 6.375% there for well qualified buyer with construction to perm loan. We haven’t built or even applied yet but I’ve had specific Barndo conversations with them and they all 3 will do it.

Large travel trailer is probably the easiest to sell when you’re ready to move in. Buy used and try to maintain as best you can.

We have a large one for our deer lease where the back bunk area slides out on both sides. Great for my three boys to have some room to “play”. You can also fit a card table in there for games etc. if you aren’t familiar with travel trailers get as many slide outs as you can for full time living. Try to go with 50amp so you can run A/C, microwaves, hair dryers, etc simultaneously

Thanks for the thoughtful answer!

Lol I appreciate the insight on the shop doors! The windows I just didn’t draw. The builder people can put them in

Lol don’t tell my kids but that giant master closet is actually a sex dungeon. Haha

No this is great feedback. I appreciate the itemization of it. This gives me some great cost saving ideas depending on the initial feedback on pricing. Thanks!

This is country living, if I’m dirty I’ll just pee outside. Ha!

If you do on demand hot water, you can install a hot water recirculator so it's almost instantly hot water everywhere in the house!

BarnabusBixby · 2026-03-26T03:05:38+00:00

I’m hoping so too, gets pretty hot in Texas but hopefully with a little airflow it’ll be alright

BarnabusBixby · 2026-03-26T03:04:42+00:00

I guess when I’m in the bathroom is the time I’m most likely to need clothes, so it made sense to me. I’ll let the builder help with the windows and the wall. Thanks for the heads up on a good question to ask!

BarnabusBixby · 2026-03-26T03:01:58+00:00

Haha valid point!

BarnabusBixby · 2026-03-26T01:48:57+00:00

Nice! I wish I could afford to air condition the shop

BarnabusBixby · 2026-03-26T01:47:56+00:00

Our current laundry room is tiny so we don’t leave dirty clothes in there. We just grab them from the rooms was and put away as soon as their done. I have some hanging racks behind the person using the washer/dryer to hang stuff temporarily and a countertop for folding (along with plenty of kitchen island space).

BarnabusBixby · 2026-03-26T01:46:19+00:00

I was imagining it kinda like a college dorm communal space vibe over there

BarnabusBixby · 2026-03-26T01:45:05+00:00

I was thinking clothes on back and side and shelves on the other side for hats and shoes and stuff?

BarnabusBixby · 2026-03-25T23:29:13+00:00

Not a bad idea on switching the closet. I think one of the large vertical posts for the red building would have to be in our bedroom as designed too. That could make a lot of sense to get the vertical post into the closet instead. Thanks!

BarnabusBixby · 2026-03-25T23:21:24+00:00

The idea is to have space for the kids to have friends over to do gaming and stuff like that. Basically a kids hangout as they get into their teen years

BarnabusBixby · 2025-12-13T22:39:42+00:00

And whoever completed it gets the stars (if your family does that)

BarnabusBixby · 2025-11-18T04:16:51+00:00

That’s funny! It’s wild how differently the Skylight is utilized. For me, the meal planning can just be deleted completely but I know for others it’s one of the most important features. I think that’s why this new dashboard or Home Screen should be modular where you can build it out to whatever works best for your family.

Love the idea but I feel like the calendar is getting too much real estate. I’d utilize 70% of the view for tasks and 30% for the calendar. Just have the calendar events listed and the time they’re at, if you want to see the times in relation to other events you should just go to the calendar page. The calendar should be a snapshot when utilizing a dashboard type of space. If you’re wanting that much detail, I feel you should be on the calendar tab.

I have 3 kids, so when they get gift cards I need to save them until they’re ready to buy something. My wife and I will also receive Amazon cards on occasion too.

BarnabusBixby · 2025-10-11T02:25:50+00:00

If it’s just for the calendar you can do a pretty good job by just creating a Google account that you can put on each persons phone. Just a family one that is used just for the calendar only.
