RV HOMEBASE LIVING QUARTERS

Now that the outer structure of the RV Home Base is erected it is time for us to work on roughing in the floors and walls of the RV Home Base Living Quarters. We put in a sub floor ,framed the interior walls using metal stud framing materials. while waiting for some repairs we installed a drainage a=system an had asphalt driveways poured.

Hi Carl. I’ve enjoyed your build on this barndominium. One thing I have not seen in any comments unless I missed it or you talking about. It is a ballpark price for just the shell erected on your property. I’m trying to put together something similar to this in western North Carolina. Thank you for your time.

Sorry it took so long to reply. I had some health issues that kept me off UA-cam for a while. Making a video about the issues. The slab cost around $24,000 and the shell with two exterior doors and three tall garage doors run just over $48,000. This was for a structure that covers a 50'x60' area with a 10'x22' front porch. We pre-paid for the structure so we got process before the current round of inflation set in so I don't know what the prices might run now.

@@rvlifein34time37 the last video I saw you were Lane sub flooring down on sleepers I believe on the concrete slab did you ever finish that building and the living space? That price is a good price even adjusted for inflation now it still seems pretty reasonable. What kind of R-value did you get with the insulation you put in. What type of insulation in the walls and ceiling were you able to install? I hope you feel better soon.

We do have a video out where we used metal studs to trim out the living quarter and I have just released a video where the contractors, including the drywall contractors finished the work inside. The living quarters are not but are livable. We are spending most of our time there. The health issues I mentioned was is a broken leg. The new living area is, of course, one level compared to our other multi-level home and makes getting around much easier with the broken leg. The broken leg has slowed down everything, finishing the home base, prepping the old house for sale, and getting out videos. So the next video will be about the broken leg.

What is the size of your building?

[@rvlifein34time37]

The main slab is 50' x 50' The center section is 16x50, the living quarters are 22x50, there is another garage section that is 14x50 and there is an overhang in the back over the slab that is 8x50.

How are things progressing?

[@rvlifein34time37]

Not very well, I am sorry to say. I have fallen and broken my leg, which required surgery. This has all but put a stop on finishing the interior and really interfered with trying to keep this channel going. I have about six m ore weeks until I can put weight on the leg. I am getting about better now and have a chance to try to get some of my already filmed footage organized into a few more postings. I should have a post about the last work by my contractors out in a few days.

@@rvlifein34time37 Well that's not any fun. Hope you mend up quickly so you and your wife can get back to adventuring. My wife and I are 2 years out from the big change. We are starting the "stuff purge" now in hopes of having much less stuff to deal with when the time comes. We are also going to be video documenting the journey.
Get well soon.
