      @S M That's what quality costs. That's why you don't see much of it. Most people have no idea what's behind the drywall. But that's why he doesn't talk about price. What he does is really not large scale commercially viable. It only works for a few well healed clients who are willing to pay out the nose for smaller, less flashy houses that are higher quality. Normal people can't afford this, and most rich people want more flash factor for their money.

Where I wish I knew more is with respect to ground preparation and foundations. Maybe that's beyond the scope of Ryan's Shed Plans.

      You hit the nail on the head. Builders creating 4,000-7,000 sq-ft homes have little utility but very high profit margins. Big box builders have driven the small custom builders out of the market. The realtors are using "market comparable" approaches to value so they can make quick sales. The Federal gov't and banks need to demand the Cost/Replacement approach for valuation.

    Hi Matt, I worked with construction for about 16 years; I was a builder for about 10 out of those; I first started in New England, then marriage brought me to Texas; I then worked for the U.S Gov for about 7 years, got my wife through her specialty residency and now I manage a few healthcare facilities my wife and I own.
    I still manage some of our personal construction projects; we are in the middle of our home remodel, our home was built between 1999 and 2000, because of location and lot size and the tremendous deal we got, we decided to purchase instead of building. So I spend a great deal of time thinking on how could things have been done better to suit our modern days in my current home.
    I have been following your videos for about 6 years, and I have come up with a framing system that could honestly and I believe revolutionize the building industry, I’m sure we can most likely improve energy efficiency by 10 to 20 percent on modern already very efficient homes like the the ones built with your monopoly frame, while saving on framing cost about the same. I don’t know why but i wake up sometimes in the middle of the night and keep thinking on old ways and how they get in the way of efficiency, your monopoly framing is a great idea, but i still think we can improve on it, I’m not interested in returning to the building industry by any means but I know that people like you and Steven Baczek have a broad reach and can disseminate and show people on your channels a better way of doing it.
    I live in Mission, TX, about an hour away from South Padre Island; if you ever come this way taking your family on vacation or whatever, I would love to share this idea with you; I’m not interested in money; I think that if God gave me these ideas and I can help others by sharing then I’m happy with that, I know God has been very good to me.

      @@willfishing5605 I have a track built 3,200 square foot house with three car garage. The primary reason we went that large was to get a floor plan that offered a single story with a three car garage. I would have gladly paid the same money to get a 2,500 square foot single story with a three car garage. Square footage wasn’t the driver. Most custom built neighborhoods have minimum square foot requirements so we couldn’t go that direction either. It is a shame so many people push quantity of square feet over quality. If this type of home (but with a three car garage) were offered to me now in San Antonio TX right now we would move or build tomorrow.

    I was just able to fill an 80 gallon whirpool tub using a 50 Gal Rheem hybrid. I have a mixing valve and keep the temperature set to 140 in the summer. Would also recommend piping the hot water heater into the garage. It will virtually eliminate the need for that mini split, use the 'free' heat in the garage to heat your water and cool the garage. Also perfect because usually just after you come home is when you take a shower and have opened the door and taken in a big gulp of humid air into the space.

    As always, nicely done. Well build house.
    Have learned so much from your channel.
    If I may though give a critique. The butler pantry is a little much for that size of house. Trying to take that space and incorporate it into the kitchen would have been much better use of the area, in my opinion.
    Grace and Peace
    Slick

    Matt, so sorry your mother-in-law didn't get the chance to move into the beautiful home you renovated for your wife's parents. Great job as usual and thank you for sharing all the little details and supplier websites which will come in super handy as we embark on our own new home build on Orcas Island. Best to you and your family.

    Matt, any way to buy these plans directly? or whatever I can take to a quality local builder and say "build me this!"
    Edit: my only gripe, why not exterior Rockwool? It seems like such a benefit, if you're doing all the other techniques it should be included too. Love how you make the cameraman climb up in the attic, turn the light off and wait for you to come up and turn the light on again...Hollywood magic!🤣

    the non-salt softeners come in two forms: catalytic and conditioner-molecule. Both essentially prevent scale by causing calcium to form smaller crystals that float and don't bond to form plaque. Neither will work for hard water with a PH over 8. My research suggests the 3M technology also is effective but the NuvoH2O may be less problematic chemistry.
    There are also now automatic conditioner systems that self-optimize the amount of salt used to avoid waste.

      @gdf12349 2 роки тому

      I've got the exact system in my house. We noticed the difference in quality immediately. The taste of the water is much better as well. The home is from 1985, so there's still junk stuck to the piping, but the water coming through is much better, we don't notice scaling at faucets any more.

  • @finieclimber
    @finieclimber 2 роки тому +13

    Matt can you have some discussion about cost of efficient construction. I assume that your in a typical working class neighborhood and likely your house is more costly than any other on your block. You made some higher end finishes and choices along the way so if one was trying to keep the cost relatively the same as a traditional build where is that line? Does the insulated sheathing blow the budget, the fancy studs, triple pane windows? Which ones provide the most bang for the buck in your opinion.

    Why not duct the water heater’s cold air output to the garage and cool it that way, taking load away from the minisplit? Am I missing something? It sounds like you’re planning to add a bath fan to exhaust the cold air somewhere else?
