very impressive!

Hey Marine, it's Rob G in Saline. Love the new channel Brother!! Have a good holiday.

Very impressive & informative. The up front in depth explanation was helpful. I’ve heard that Rockwool is good for absorbing sound.

Another great vid. We’ll be doing the same thing next year - also N. of 44 - one state to your west, about 10 miles south of Lake Superior. This is yet another reason why your vids. are so relevant to us.

Yep, you would think that builders put their best foot forward when constructing their models. If not…. Did you / will you do a vid. on how you selected the manufacturer & builder for the post frame building? Your setup (house + large post frame structure) sounds exactly like what we intend to do.

Another very helpful vid. 1 question: i see you went with Durospan against the skin of the building. Is Durospan better / cheaper than Rockwool Comfortboard? Yes, I’m shamelessly trying to save myself some research.

Another great, helpful vid. Gotta get some of my own work done.

Another great vid. I intend to watch your entire series. I’ll try to leave a simple comment on each vid. so UA-cam helps your channel.

Very helpful video series. This is the exact project in my future. Glad I found your channel. You earned my subscription.

Thanks for the props! I moved from Texas to Arkansas, lost my truck title in the move (assume you seen a plate to guess TX) and had to get a new title via mail which just came in. Now I can finally move my truck registration and quit worrying about the police pulling me over. I am on day 76 as of today, need to find time to edit / upload vids again. The tree trimmers are cutting down those two big oak trees as I type😒 I do want to ask -- you have a recording device in my cabin or are we just thinking that much in line? 😀I have been pondering what to do about power outages for the new house. My current little cabin and barn (where my well pump is) are on the typical portable gas generators. This works but my cabin is only a 30amp so half my box has power and the gennie is only 4.5kw so I have to watch what I am doing. I am VERY interested in where you land since it sounds like you'll beat me there yet again. Things I am curious what you think of: * EG4 solar heat pump mini split -- can run 100% off solar so maybe help with monthly electric bill plus HVAC during outage * Some 220v battery backup such as an EcoFlow -- run off that and only run genie to charge the battery if power is down long time, this has advantage of faster time to power ( < .5sec) when power goes out * Fuel use per hour on whole home gennie -- Good idea on the report from power company. I was looking at an 18kw (1.7gph) model just because I thought a 10kw (0.97 mph) would be too small. My unanswered question is: A 10kw running at 90% peak power vs an 18kw running at 50%: will the 10kw have a shorter life and what is fuel per hour of a 10kw running at 90% vs the 18kw at 50%? * in-wall ventless LPG heater -- like the Mr Buddy but just built in, I am pondering over putting just one in the master bedroom for emergency * wood burning stove -- I have a spot in the house picked out and walls built specifically for one, I just have never had one to know for sure how safe they are Yes, I kick around all these ideas but not sure where we will land. Most likely a combo of some of the above and no matter what rate we take will be phased in.

Nicely done!

We're in NC and waiting for ours to be delivered. Nationwide Modular in VA built ours, we did a factory tour as ours was on the line. It was great to walk through our house while it was being built. The land is being cleared next week, basement built and then delivery!

Looking good! I really want to figure out the time lapse on my GoPro, someday :) Is that a dust collector I see? I hope you talk about those things in the future. I have a wood CNC I want to get going one day. New tool for me and right now it jsut blows dust EVERYWHERE so I have not learned how to use it yet.

Going to be killer, leaning the same way doing a 120-year-old house

I love it! You are going to have an awesome shop. I am looking forward to hearing the end results.

Are you happy with how it is turning out?

Not gonna lie....I thought it was going to explode out of the cup!

Gloves!!!!!

This wrap is on the outside of your crawl space wall?

Crawl space looks good! I like you have storage there already :) I'll give you a 5 out of 10 on the "cheese" question. I have pondered over making that same entrance / exit but always am short on time so don't for exactly why you were asking! Are those dehumidifers auto-on? As in, if you flip teh breaker off / on will they rememebr the settings you picked and auto power on? I struggle looking for electronics which survive a power outtage and come back the way I want. I ponder over if I will need something like this or not. The footers were just poured today, in 5 days they frame walls. After walls framed I need to let everything sit for 23 days so I'll have some time for drying. But, thats not a lot and we are getting into winter soooo ....

Since posting this video I’ve pulled over 100 gallons of water out of the dumps in the crawl space. Got to get pumps down there soon!

For sure helps tell the story! Especially since you have an odd entry!

I would’ve chosen other colors

What home is this please?

Really nice…. Congratulations

Heated floors in the shop?!?! You are going to have an awesome year round place to work. I have a small barn with gravel floors and no insulation. Maybe someday I grow up and get a real shop like you 😀

I did add ceiling fans to each room on my order, will be interesting to see if I get two switches or one. I wanted the builder to install all the fan blocking in each room but I do have concerns around the fan quality. We shall see. I like your idea of using the second switch for some additional ceiling lights tho, makes me hope I have two wires :)

Love!!!❤❤❤

Thanks . I enjoyed your thought process which is exactly what I was thinking and trying to research where I could see my top models since local builders or retailers like you said don’t have them all. I’d feel better seeing them as don’t like sight unseen. You bring up a good point though as may not be representative of your area if you see it by a builder that won’t do your install . Have a question. Did you research cost comparisons if other contractors/builders besides the retailers would do most of the work? When I visited one, they said they normally do all the work but you can get your own contractor. Of course they said which is understandable that they have long relationships with the contractors they use and I’m sure their contractors are primarily doing the installs so know it well. I just don’t know if it’s worth vetting out how much contractors on your own would do the grading, foundation and finishing. In my case well and septic will have to be put in too. It wouldn’t be worth the headache for a few thousand dollars because you would be managing the contractors yourself. If it were more savings though maybe?? In my mind I would love to have one builder/GC handle all. One place to call to get status etc as long as I don’t think it would have been significant savings hiring contractors or other GC to do the work. As I wrote this I realized that maybe you didn’t go with the local retailer selling the homes for all the install work. When you said builders I assumed you meant the retailers selling the homes. I assume the housing company brings in their crew to set the house and secure everything plus clean up damage from factory to location.

Beautiful home!

I'm excited to have just found your channel. I am originally from the area and have just bought a plot of land in the Cedar area that I am researching the best way to build a primarily summer/fall home when I retire next year. Looking at probably 1,200 sq feet and would really like a basement foundation. The more I look into modular, the more I'm liking the option. I'll be watching all your videos for sure!

Is this a Fairmont modular? We are in northern Michigan and in the process of choosing a manufacturer. We want something that is almost exactly like yours. We have acreage and love the idea of two dormers to enjoy the property.

That's love.❤

Have to love the paperwork! My favorite was waiting for the bank to come take photos to prove we had not started yet before they would let us start the build. Sounds like again we have been on the same road. My wife and I had a similiar setup where we own the land and looked at stick built vs barndo. She saw a modular home and we started looking. *poof* here we are :D

The $100k rule -- I must say my biggest issue has been figuring out the details. Example, I thought I was getting 2 sets of doors plus 2 "pan drawers". BUT, I learned after we settled on everything the island is 3 sets of double doors. Picking the cabinet colors was a bit of a challenge as well. The builder we went with struggles to keep up with vendor changes and such so options and colors they offer for "real" do not match their web site. Time line has been WAY longer than I expected as well. I was not expecting two months just for bank paperwork.

Sounds like you are, or were, not at the house during build? I used to be 7hr away from my place when we first bought it and it was a PAIN to get things done. Being on site makes a huge difference. Dirt work starts next week for us and our driveway is going to be a huge expense. I figure that once the cranes are gone I'll worry about the driveway but I like the markings :)

The legs give me a vintage sewing machine leg vibe!

I love that you gave some interest to the supports! Very nice!

Did they install French drains before backfilling? How tight is the seam between two halves in attic? I will want to install two ceiling mount WAPs and thinking dead center would "look" best if possible. I just signed all the papers and "go get started building" down payment three days ago so we are on the road! That is quite the family line up for your brothers, wife's, uncles, daughters ... whatever, too much for me to rememebr :)

I have zero social media skills and will say just keep doing what you like how you like and the folks with like minds will find you. I have had that approach and it has been over two years since I started my channel. I am close to 1k subs now and like you said, I never expected much out of all this. Mine started because my wife was living with family to help on some medical issues they had. UA-cam was a way for me to keep her in the loop for what was going on -- and a fun distraction from work / homestead life. When I started I expected maybe 10 folks to sub, now I just have fun as I have time and never expect anything to come of it. Very least these videos are for your old age. Sit in a rocking chair and watch all the things that made your place "yours" 😀

What flooring did you get? We are getting teh Shaw Resiliant LVP and I wonder how it will hold up to my 65lb dutch shepherd 😮‍💨

"Without a lot of grace" ... you sound like me there :D I saw in your main panel; most;y 15a breakers with some 20a. I assume there is a mix of the yellow and white Romeo throughout the home? I am 99% sure I will be in the same boat. I am pondering about swapping the 20s to a double 20 and free up panel space. You found space to be an issue? Maybe just me since we plan on a full basement and need power down there.

I am looking for wifi bridge to suggest to my bro-in-law. He does nto want the complexity or cost of my setup (full Ubiquity setup) so watched this one out of order. Now I see your crawl space lights, awesome! Off to find part two and see how you like this bridge.

Looking good! I hope mine looks that clean when all done :) For giggles any thoughts of adding some lighting down there to help move around? You do have an outlet :)

Doh! I did not see a roof raising. Gobs of closets and storage, I love it! We are also going to move water heater to basement. I'll have to ask about moving the furnace, good idea there! I have a few more changes pending and hope to sign final papers this weekend so not much time left to make changes. Why all the extra windows? You have plans to add some? Any issues with doors not closing correctly?

Ohh, 6:12 roof pitch? Nice! So many things are close to what we have planned. I have been curious and you can answer, how much damage was done to the house on the road to your place and how much from the crane lift? I am told it will be minimal and everything will be fixed, I just wonder what to expect :)

I am always amazed at how long it really takes to do any job like this! Far from boring! Thanks for sharing!!

You will probably get there, but what builder did you end up using? I assume you are way north of us based on channel name so what was insulation ratings? I will be curious to see how this works come the COLD days. We read good things on the specs of what our modular will be, someday, so I am curious how true to the numbers these homes are! I see the master bath shower looks close to what ours should be. I also wonder is that a common layout or related builders :)

VERY sandy soil. I am not sure if that is a good or bad thing but way different than the rocks I have wound here. I do not see utility access ports in your footer walls. How are you dealing with water / septic / electric entrance to teh crawlspace to connect to the house? Which you may answer in a future video but I am going in sequence :)

I just came across your channel today and am starting to watch your series. We are going through a similar process, jsut signed the construction loan paperwork today so I'll be asking videos on the entire process as we go. I have had the same ideas as the series you have going on already :) We have a well dug and I have shorts on that process. Dirt work should start in a week or two. I am excited!!!
