Sorry I have not.

I had to order all of the stone. Most building supply stores in my area have very little stock however anyone that carries Versetta stone should be able to order the sills.

Where I am building we are using the 2018 North Carolina building code. Appendix M is where the wood deck info is located but it is specific to NC and is not part of the 2015 IRC. So….I cannot tell you what is specifically required where you are building. However, I always add rebar/mesh to give the concrete tensile strength. Concrete is very strong under compression but weak when placed under tension. For this reason I would suggest adding rebar to help with lateral movement. Especially where you are with the freezing and thawing cycles. Keep in mind a lot also depends on the type/size of structure. If you wanted to add rebar what I would do if you don’t want to go through the pain of building cages is to pour the columns in multiple lifts. After the first lift set the vertical bars in while the concrete is wet and then pour the remaining lifts while ensuring the sticks remain completely encapsulated in the column. I am not a structural engineer so I am only detailing how I might complete this project based on the information you presented.

@ncbarndobuild thanks! I am doing drawings right now. Thinking of 6feet 12" hole and fill 3" of gravel and 6" concrete to create base and then 60" on 10" sonotube. The footing i am planning is 6x6. Thought of reinforcing concrete in sonotube with rebar (my initial thought was similar to your suggestion). Which concrete do you use? Quick ready mix or regular?

@@selvaspk I used a local supplier for the concrete. It would have been almost 100 80-pound bags if I hand mixed it.

I am guessing they are referencing R401.3 which requires the grading to have a minimum of 6” of fall within the first 10’ around the foundation. If you have any fill dirt that will be supporting footings or foundations you are required to have a test done to ensure that the soil is properly compacted and will support your structure. We have a video on our channel that details our geotechnical evaluation. It was done shortly after this video. (Reference R401.2). It is not expensive to do and will give you peace of mind. We were borderline on the compaction test so we elected to put our barndominium on a crawlspace instead of a slab. A bit of a spoiler alert for the channel but if you are interested keep watching the videos sequentially it will help you understand the full process. All references are from the 2018 North Carolina Residential Building Code. If you need/want to chat hit me up with an email at ncbarndobuild@gmail.com with your contact info. I am more than happy to give you a call.

@@porcusmisanthropicus5659 Based on the unfactored post reactions of: DL 212 KIP RLL 2.6 KIP WL 2.2 KIP along with the soil analysis report, our engineer wanted rebar in the column. So, I followed his instructions.

Awesome. Easy to use formulas and you can apply it to any circuit.

You will appreciate the breezeway. It allowed us to break the build up into 2 different projects which allowed us to get the occupancy permit before the entire build was complete.

@@ncbarndobuild that's the plan. Keep up the good work

Your welcome. Thanks for watching! Hopefully, the videos will help you in your project. Enjoy the process and keep in touch. I would love to hear about your progress.

That's what caught my attention about this channel. Loved the barndo build on a crawlspace. Or you could modify it a bit to make it a full basement. Almost every one I see is built on a slab.

Window sills were set at 36” above the concrete foundation with a laser. Stone height was just slightly less than that due to the fact that I dropped the starter strip (j channel) below the top of the foundation. The stone is roughly 36” tall give or take. Remember Versetta stone is not a perfect product. You will have some slight variations on height.

You are absolutely correct. The only downside would be losing the pre charge in the line set. If I ever need to service the unit that is exactly what I will do.

Posts are 8x8, ridge beam is a 6x12, plate beams are 8x12 and the timber truss is between 800-900 lbs. (all timbers are Douglas fir).To get the full picture you should check out the truss assembly video. The rebar was called out by the structural engineer who designed everything. I have to follow the plans or I won’t pass inspection.

Not sure. I had a structural engineer draw up the plans and I followed them.

You bet!

Yes it is time consuming trying to get a good fit sometimes. I might swap 4-5 pieces out before I find one I like. If I recall maybe 4 days roughly to finish this project.

Totally agree. 3 bedroom house and they required me to have 400’ linear feet of chamber.

@@ncbarndobuild what an insane ask. I'm guessing it had to do with the soil, but that still seems super excessive. I'm glad you got to do it though. Getting a modern aerobic septic system with multiple chambers, chloride treatments, etc costs a fortune to install and maintain. (And it's the maintenance that no one takes into consideration)

I have never heard of a Ferris cement technique. I guess I would have to do some research and practice before being comfortable with the concept.

There are a lot of barndominiums down here in NC that use the steel trusses from my understanding.

@@ncbarndobuild well I hang out over on Kelly Country Channel and he has the steel trusses. I like the way they look exposed. I might have my round air duct exposed to in the main living area.

@@ncbarndobuild Let me ask you a question please. Would you advise against doing just the metal roof without the plywood sheeting and then spray foaming the back of the metal? Is the sheeting really necessary?

@@TaylorHaubrich it depends on the type of steel you use whether sheathing is needed or not. Standing seam requires sheathing because it does not give any shear strength to the roof assembly. So….if you don’t use sheathing then you must use steel panels that ties the roof framing together and that will most likely mean using the through fastened ag panels with exposed fasteners. I do not like exposed fasteners on the roof system because you are relying on those neoprene washers to seal up every screw hole. Reference 2018 NC Building Code Section R905.10.1. Hope that helps.

@@ncbarndobuild very helpful thank you for that info

I use a synthetic roof underlayment for the house. For the garage I used a 30lb felt and I have not had any noticeable water issues. Anything to keep the water off your wall system is all you need.

That sucks. Sorry.

Yes to all three questions. I think you should check out part 1 and 2 of the floor system. They have all the details that fills in the backstory. In a nutshell, it is an encapsulated unvented crawlspace much like you would find in any newer build.

Thanks! So far so good. Once I get the walls built I will go back to show the final look of the floor to wall transition.

Have not heard of sketchup. I will have to check it out. Not sure if you seen our soil compaction video but that is why we went with a crawlspace. The test results for a slab on grade was borderline so we played it safe.

Not sure what additional that would have cost. The beauty of doing your own build is you get to pick and choose where exactly you want to spend your money. Unfortunately, in the end our budget dictates many decisions. We have a few no compromise items so in order to make those happen we have to sacrifice in other areas. You bring up an excellent point to consider though.

Thanks for watching!

Yes it would have been a lot easier. I was nervous about working on top of the plastic and tearing holes in it. If I had to do it over again I would do the side wall plastic before the joists and then roll the floor plastic out after the floor framing was complete.

Thanks! Sometimes I wonder if I am ever going to get this project finished. 😂

Thanks! I would agree. I watch a few other professional builders on UA-cam and I have yet to see rebar used or anyone consolidate their mixtures when pouring piers for post frame.

Is this in reference to the CRSI manual? I don’t see where a hook is required in any of the ties listed in the manual. The manual shows 5 types of ties and I tried to emulate the “wrap and snap tie”. Always willing to learn if you can point me to a reference.

That’s an idea!

Thanks!

Our mini was intended to just temper the air in the garage and not fully condition it like you would with a living area. For living areas I would highly recommend having at least a manual J calculation run to make sure you size the HVAC unit properly. There is a lot that goes into the calculation. For example, insulation r values, window and door performance and locations, along with total volume of space being heated/cooled. I know that probably isn’t the answer you are looking for but hopefully someone more qualified than I can point you in a good direction.

Thanks for watching and commenting

Yes. The same engineer that drew the original plan made the change. It cost an additional $500 for the change.

@@ncbarndobuild could you share the engineer’s contact. Working with an architect but looks like i need to hire the engineer you used separately. 🫤🫤🫤

@@vtecrage214 His website is www.sde-pllc.com. All of Jeff’s contact info can be found there. I am very happy with his work. Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.

@@ncbarndobuild thank you very much !!!

Thanks for the watch!

Cost

@@ncbarndobuild I've never priced the wood I Joist... kinda surprised they're that high.

@@NotTelling51 a 9.5 inch wide 16’ I-Joist is about double a 16’ 2x10. (Where I get building materials.) The girders and piers in our layout will be carrying the majority of the weight (which is why the joists run in different directions). Would I-joists or better yet floor trusses have been better? Probably, but not necessary in my opinion due to the design. That’s the beauty of building your own home. Spend the money on the things that matter most to you and use suitable alternatives in areas where you want to save money.

Thanks! Lots of videos on a variety of topics all designed to help others learn from our failures and successes.

They are called rebar chairs. There are several different kinds available.

Thanks for watching and the feedback!

Thanks for the comment and watch!

Best Buy Metals Bestbuymetalroofing.com It is the BBM product. They have a couple different board and batten options. Make sure you check out the panel install video.

Dang that’s a lot of piers! Thanks for the feedback.

We have had the mini running now for 2 winters and no issues with heating the garage. 4 inches open cell spray foam in walls and 4-5 inches of blown-in insulation in the ceiling. Still deciding on what to do for the house.
