Using concrete is the only way to go. Everyone I know that used wood had to replace it within 20 years. I built a place using well casing and welding cross bracing.
I love Pier and Beam foundations, but they often require a very deep dig, a lot of rebar, and ideally a flared out footer. I'm not seeing any of that here, which I suspect is the reason for your comment. All of the above is to prevent: Frost heave (lifting), settling (sinking), and cracks/structural failure (breaking).
if there peofessional contractors .they need to go back to school .shingles can not be used on a slope foof less then 3/12.joist hangers are absolute code and must be used an all joist and beams and the way the loft floor was hung from the wall will never pass code any were in north america. this cabin will twist / move and be falling bown in 15 years
Reading the comments, I’d hate to say anything but something positive. Because it looks beautiful. But having a 25 year background in framing and roofing. As soon as I saw those shingles go on my heart skipped a beat. As long as you’re in a climate, that gets zero snow, you may be fine. But there’s not enough pitch for shingles. You should’ve went with metal for sure. One ice dam or heavy rain. God forbid there’s any nails in the slots. If you ever do another Airbnb, do metal, unless you have a good pitch on the roof. I’ll give it 3 years before you’re fixing leaks on that ceiling and re-doing it completely.
Thank you for your input. I appreciate it. But I assure you shingles was not part of the plan. It was a last minute decision we had to make because the metal roof shipment was canceled during the build. Before the cabin opens for business, we will install metal roofing. Thank you for watching. 😊👍
I can see that the 'walls' do not weight bear, it's the cross-pieces in the floors that do. Flimsy to my way of thinking. Also see why people refer to 'siding' and not to walls, because basically there aren't any, rather it's a shell to which 'siding' is attached
Nice Work 👍🌹 Also specify the size of the timbers used in the cabin. So that we also get a chance to learn. Hope to be guided. It will be very kind. Best wishes for your continued success. 🤲🌹
I would be very concerned with both snow and wind loading with the flat roof. Also, the lack of outside vapour barrier wrapping of the external walls and floors may well affect the heating bill bottom line of this place depending on how severe your Winters are ? I would also think this building's shape will cause excessive movement in any high wind situation above 65 Miles Per Hour in gusts ? Can't honestly say I'm diggin' the basic house design shape. I do really like the concrete pillar support platform approach in lieu of a full basement concrete foundation poor. I'm sure going this direction saved you folks thousands in overall construction costs and materials.
Thank you i appreciate all your great points. This cabin was designed around our likes and vision. Obviously it’s not perfect. But we are definitely looking into everyone’s expert opinions and advices to improve the cabin. But overall all we are very happy with this design and we can’t wait to finish it. 😊👍
Shingles on that low slope roof is going to be a problem. Especially without the addition of roofing felt or synthetic wrap. Zip board is a great system, but with a low slope roof you need all the protection you can get. At lease you can tin over it if leaks appear. Just use full length sheets of steel, don’t piece it together. Otherwise I like the cabin!
I assure you shingles was not part of the plan. It was a last-minute decision because our metal roof got delayed by six months so I couldn’t have just sheeting sitting in the Missouri weather. Metal roof will be installed this summer. Thanks for input. 😊👍
Doesn’t look that good lmao sorry to burst your bubble, pally but I’ve seen better builds by Pete Nelson on Treehouse masters. Get your money back via airbnb in 5 years and sell it for double your investment… having a monetized UA-cam channel helps too, right?

I’m no building expert but it looks great to me
Crazy the faith they put in the foundation

@@Chris_at_Home Oh I agree.. just in a different way lol.
can you even call it a foundation?
I love Pier and Beam foundations, but they often require a very deep dig, a lot of rebar, and ideally a flared out footer.

Amazing
Thank you
Nice job!
عالی بسیار عالی موفق باشید محترم رسول صاحب 🧿😘💐🤲👍
GOOD JOB .
Thank you 😊
Great build 👍
Thank you i appreciate it 😊👍
Can you show us floors level after the winter season?
Beautiful Cabin!
Thank you I appreciate it! 😊👍
This is not a DYI, these guys are all professional contractors. Very cool with that.
You are correct 👍. 50% of it built by contractors and other 50% by family, friends and me. Thanks for watching. 😊

what's the size of cabin?
864sq ft

Funny you mentioned the shingles...I was surprised as well...he did respond with a 2 ft drop from the front to back...so I felt alot better...

Can't believe how fast you guys are.
I get tired just watching.
👍😊

@@davek6630 thank you for that . We are definitely installing metal roof this summer. 😊👍
Doesn’t the zip and tape act as vapor barrier?
Yes, the Zip System wall sheathing is the vapor barrier, and negates the need for traditional house wrap.
I'm surprised they didn't lose their balance with everything swaying around so much
It’s just the drone shaking because of the wind. 👍😊
@@KeyesGlamping 😄 ha I know, I was just being silly
@@KeyesGlamping Didn't know it was a drone though, I was imagining you hung a camera from a tree or something 🤣
You need basement
Very nice!!! Great work. How much did it cost?
Approximately $75k so far . And thank you 😊
@@KeyesGlamping wow that's impressive, I can't wait to see the full project and how much it cost you.
@@Muhammad-vy4ft yes me too! Thanks for watching. 👍😊
18 ft walls?
16ft and slopes down to 14ft in the back
did you actually cover the floor from below with just the Styrodur strips?
A lot of vermin and small animals will certainly feel at home there
We are going to foam spray under the Cabin. 😊👍
@@KeyesGlamping ah ok all right 👏
Your supposed to have the paper of the insulation towards the inside of the house...you installed it backwards
I did not notice that. Thanks. 😊👍
Sơ sài
I was told this would take 15 minutes....I'm missing 5 minutes of content bro
Lol sorry. I am working on the other 5 minutes. Stay tuned 👍😊. Thanks for watching.
What is it with Americans and wood panelling? The rest of the world moved on from that in the 80’s…..
Skipped lots of staggered seams.
Yes unfortunately. But I might fix them in few years. Thanks 😊
why would you use asphault shingles on such a small pitch, they arent dewsigned for under a 4 or 5 pitch, should have been rubber
I assure you shingles was not part of the plan. It was a last-minute decision because our metal roof got delayed by six months so I couldn’t have just sheeting sitting in the Missouri weather. Metal roof will be installed this summer. Thanks for input. 😊👍
Too much wrong with this build to comment.
Try building a better one and let me know. Thanks for watching 😊👍
@@justice1178 I agree! Thank you 😊 👍
What about the inside
We are still working on that. Stay tuned. Thanks for watching 😊👍
This is fine for a weekend cabin for yourself, but if you're trying to rent this out, it's basically a scam.
