Thanks, appreciate the comment! We did crinkle coat steel for the roof and siding, it is black and burnished slate. I’d highly recommend looking at the crinkle coat finish. Takes the shine away and increases durability.

Yes, thank you! Looks awesome!

Yep, radiant floor heat. It’s wonderful, one of our favorite parts of the house.

@ thanks

The house is 40x55, front porch is 6x16 and the back porch is 10x55. Garage/shop is 27x40 and the loft is 10x27.

@ Thank you! Your build turned out really good!

Thanks, I really appreciate it! We love it.

Cole said “Thanks!”

We like them. Everyone has an opinion. Have a good day.

I will be doing a video with more details on the plans. The house is 49x55 with 10’ sidewalls and a 16’ vault in living/kitchen area. Back porch is 10x55 and the front porch is 6x16. Garage is 49x27 with 16’ sidewalls.

Thanks so much!! I don’t think you’ll be disappointed if you go this route!

Yes we did. We have in floor heat along with mini splits for heating and ac when we don’t need the in-floor running. So far we really like both.

@buffalogroveoutdoors5110 Thank you for your reply. We're seriously considering building a home like yours. We already own the lot and hope to start come Spring...we're north of Twin Cities. I realize this is somewhat private, but could you provide a cost of your build w/o lot, but with septic and Well? Just trying to get a feel of what a barndo your size approx. costs. If you can't I understand, but would be helpful.

Thanks you!

I didn’t want the temptation of putting my tractors or other equipment in there. I have a shop with tall doors for that stuff.

Sure bud, you’ve got your taste, I’ve got mine and we like the height. I wouldn’t have put it there if we hadn’t. Have a great day.

Thanks you for following along and congratulations on your new home as well. One of the most exciting and gratifying things we’ve ever done. Enjoy your new home!

@cusecrew7106, thanks so much for watching! I would HIGHLY recommend the Superior Wall system. They are awesome. We are so happy with our layout. I will do a video with our plans so you will be able to see the dimensions and details. Thanks again for watching!!

Thank you! We are south of the twin cities in southeast MN.

I have these plans electronically. Would you like to see the layout dimensions or which part did you want to see?

@@buffalogroveoutdoors5110 I’d love to see them also. This is exactly what we were going for. Layout and dimensions would be great

The layout dimensions this is very close to what i want to build

I'm in the planning stages. Would love to see the plans. Love ur layout!

Thanks, I’ll get going on a new plan video soon!

@ericamiley4383, thanks so much for the kind words! What product are you wondering about?

@ You are most welcome! The surround is what I was curious about! We are going through stages of building and they are talking about the onyx system.

@ Also, thank you so much for your reply! Merry Christmas!

The brand of the surround is Warm Rain and the hardware is Delta.

Merry Christmas to you too!

@nickwimner7065, we drew them ourselves but did have a true design completed off our drawings for the trades to use.

Thanks, we like the look a lot. If you watch the previous videos, you’ll see it was built to withstand wind, tornados etc. I have a 48x80 pole barn that I built 13 years ago on the property that has withstood many bad straight line wind storms and one tornado that was very close. I guess I’m not sure what your point is regarding tornados, never seen a house, short of a solid concrete house withstand a tornado. Have a good day.

@buffalogroveoutdoors5110 why not just build a normal more structural sound house and shed? Rather than just living in a shed?

We did stick frame this house just like any other home you’d see. It only has the steel on the exterior.

@brycarson8577, thank you! We really enjoy the layout too. The house is 2200 square foot and the garage is 1200. The back porch is 550 square feet.

@ruckinehroind6965, thanks for the comment and kind words!

@sloughdog, thanks so much for the kind words. I just had the assessor here so haven’t seen what my taxes have done yet. I will certainly ask him but I am doubtful they are lower cost.

@jonericsnow, I agree! Steel exterior is certainly going to stand up for a lot longer than any other traditional siding without maintenance. The home we will be moving off our property was built in 1904 and I have owned it for over 20 years. In that time I have replaced the roof twice, once because it was time and the second time because of hail. I have painted the wood siding twice. I won’t have to worry about that with this home.

We purchased the steel through Chatfield Lumber of Eyota. It is crinkle coated steel. If I remember correctly the steel was fabricated by Metal Sales. The crinkle coat does a couple things in my opinion, increases durability, creates a nicer finish and increases the thickness of the paint. Thanks for the comments!

@charlesdalzell4061, We knew the costs and didn’t anticipate it to be less than it was. You can build lower cost or more expensive. Just like any home. As far as this type of home vs a “standard” home I prefer the look and function of this home, not to mention the longevity of the exterior. Certainly no more costly than a normal home. Thanks for the comment.

@sparkythebuilder, I will put one together and explain our system at some point!

@JustinMoritz, thanks so much for the kind words!

@tbarbs2, congrats on your new home and thank you for the nice comments! Much appreciated.

@Gtcyclone, the cost was over $200/square foot and we did quite a bit of work ourselves.

@ Thanks. I love the place. Sure wish my wife would understand

@bhoward3390, the house is 40x55 and the garage is 27x40. The front porch is 6x16 and the back porch is 10x55. Thanks for the kind words on the house. We couldn’t be happier.

Hi @SpencerPOsborn, as you said, tons of variables go into the cost. Land, well, how much work you are able to do yourself etc. I believe, if a person were to hire a GC and have all of the work hired out you would be looking at north of $200/square foot average including the garage. I was very fortunate to have the time and ability to be the GC and help with a lot of our build which significantly reduced our cost. As you stated, the finishes and fixtures can really add up so if you can shop those around that helps a lot too.

​@@buffalogroveoutdoors5110 I can't thank you enough for this info. You rock. I hope that house is stellar for you folks for many years to come.

​​@@buffalogroveoutdoors5110$200 sq ft including the cement?

Yes it did.

@SteveC810, thanks so much! We love it!

@OfficialTLG, thank you! It was sure a fun process. We are so happy with how it turned out!

@rose9595, thanks so much!

Thanks Soph 😊

@zshadowfallzttv1402, thanks for the comment!!

Hello @nz9467, a final is coming. I’ve been pretty tied up lately but just need to sit down and finish it up. Thanks for following along and look for a final video soon.

Thanks for the tip

Nobody wants your advice... ...If he wants to play that dumb, annoying, totally uncalled for music it's up to him 😉 Nice Bucks Bro'...!

@@adamgd34 it didn't annoy me "so much", it was just a tip for future videos. The only petty loser here is the one taking offense to a simple tip hahahaha, you should seek help for that anger management of yours if my comment really set you off like that. I'm being serious

@@adamgd34 something tells me you live a really shitty life, so you take it out on random people online

@@adamgd34 HAHAHA, you should really go look up what "pettiness" means before you continue giving undue concern to this trivial matter. I mean seriously, at this point you sound so dumb that I'm beginning to think you're just trolling.

Thanks Steve!! Really appreciate the support!!!! Good luck this season! Sub headed back your way.

@@buffalogroveoutdoors5110 your welcome!!! Good luck to you as well!!! Thank you so much!!

Hi @nickyoutube1776 ! The cabinets were built by an Amish family nearby. They used a stain called provincial, the wood is knotty alder. Let me know if you have any other questions. Brent

Thank you @Carlo-o8o. I actually drew the plans up with my wife and then we took them to a drafter locally. We did a lot of online searching but didn’t end up finding exactly what we wanted. I will put the plans in one of our future videos. Thanks for reaching out.

Hello @chamanrickheeram5099, the center of the vault is 16 foot high.

Thanks Lindsey. This cooler weather gets a guy excited for deer season, that is for sure.

Thanks!! We are very happy with the floors and lighting as well!

@BradnickJo-mb2eg, You guessed it, we are from Minnesota.
