That's a happy kid. I love it when parents bring their kids with them and they're well behaved. I think it helps the kids develop cognitively. Also the build is cool.
I love A-frames. I've always wanted to build one. A 56 degree pitch in architectural terms is 18 to 12. The vertical height in feet is first in the equation then the horizontal 12 feet. 8 to 12 would be about 33 1/2 degrees.
Hey Russel, how did you come with this. I want to understand. We have a space of 32*18 and I am thinking of building two individual a frames in this space, does it make sense ?
I live at cedar creek and have actually been interested in this home because they have a second one coming that is still available. Such a good call moving the bathroom! I would look at the floor plan and think to myself this would be waaay better with the loft view opened up 👍 good job ladies
Love the progress! We went with a little higher pitch to help with the snow and to get some of the floor space back. Also are doing shelves in the great room for books and chopped wood.
Very interesting build. Am looking forward to watching it progress. A frame is not my favourite as there is always a lot of wasted space by nature of the shape, but I'm interested to see how you overcome this and introduce more storage.
Beautiful home, very helpful as we are currently designing ours. One thing to note is that roof pitch is probably actually an 18/12 which is standard for an A Frame. Probably just a slip but an 8/12 is much too flat for the correct A Frame look and actually wouldn't work geometrically.
Awesome video IG A-frame friend!! Love the shout out to the vintage cone fireplace!!! Excited to see the A all done and decked out in retro ❤️ ~Pinecrest Point A-frame
Fun project! There is much less "wasted space" with "A" frames compared to conventional roof systems if you consider "attic" space as a wasted area. I also agree with you that that space could be much more intelligently used for whole-house ventilation (air filters are going to become the norm due to the pandemic). SUGGESTION: for your "money shot" view of the creek, one frustrating detail I often see is the post in the middle of the view. The center should be a large window with flanking windows. It's all about the view and you've got an obstruction right in the middle.
I agree with you on the wasted attic space of more traditional Homes and the annoying obstruction on the window configuration! Great feedback, thank you so much Tim!
Can you tell me about the furring strips between the framing and the the plywood sheathing? Why not nail the sheathing right to the 2x8 framing? Would love to see the finished product!!
Do you even need a roof vent in an A frame if you keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter? Roof vents are for attic spaces so the attic doesn't get too hot causing the roof to heat to temperatures it can't handle. I think if you maintain your home with good air conditioning in the summer you wouldn't need it.
I would think the small unused corner spaces would be a perfect place to put duct-work. Our A-frame home currently has hydronic heating/no cooling. We hope to install duct-work with a geothermal heat pump.
Good evening, Is this a avrame USA kit ? Second how can I get a construction loan for a house that is a A frame? How can I present to a bank this type of housing. Any info you can share would be awesome and appreciated
@@chuckcassel5417 , I did the same calc as soon as I saw the stairs. But I think those are 7" stairs which is fairly standard. If so then she is 4'8 which just by the looks of her I think is more likely than 5'4"
@@jenniferhermanson8969 try again, it’s 57 degrees so it’s more like 18.47/12...Just Google what the rise/run is for a 57° roof. I’m sure it’s not and 8/12... I build houses for a living!
@@jenniferhermanson8969 You are correct about understanding what rise and run is but you’re wrong about the amount by a lot! 8/12 is like a shed roof... an 8/12 A-frame roof would be like a mile wide!
I do timber framing and wow. Within a minute already questioning the framing. I know Texas don't have snow loads but x2 6x6 post. Lmao at how cheap the cantilever was built. Why are there gaps in the sheeting? Could they not cut them to fall on rafters? All the sistering at the mid point of the rafts not too smart. Personally I would fire the framing crew. That roof sheating alone is grounds for firing. The framing on cantilever is deadly. There is not even bracing on the post.
That's what I want to know. Did they use the 5 foot rule for determining square footage? You go to the roof measure 5 foot off the floor to the roof and thats where you start measuring the floor area NOT where the roof meets the floor.
For those watching this video my prayer is that you all come to know JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH personally as your LORD and savior… Romans 10:9 says if you confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that GOD raised JESUS CHRIST from the dead you shall be saved.
Only for land that is cheap. An A-frame is very inefficient using land area. It is cheap to build and on cheap land it is a great combination. Anywhere else it is wasteful.
Never have I ever watched this channel NOR seen a mom, good at her job, While being a mom, on a construction sight 😍 Lady ROCK ON

Great progressive thinking Kim with the loft wall change. Sometimes inspiration doesn't come until you see the build in progress.
So true! Walking the job site is SO important!
Lived in an A Frame for several years. We liked it. Had out first daughter there.
I really want to see this when it’s finished!👍🏼
I can't stop watching baby playing with her hair during the intro. Adorbs.
None of those are “hacks”, they are just design features.
Agreed. She's a bourgeois sheep.
@King_of_The_North It's true though, she's using it wrong so it's not about being negative at all.
Hack#6 : hack some window holes in the roof for more light

What a beautiful A-Frame. Thanks for sharing love the outdoor space
Thanks for tuning in!

Thank you so much, Trent!!!! Moving the bathroom was a GAME changer for sure!
Watching from TN. I grew up on CCL man it was so nice back then in the 70's and 80's

You just build a knee wall into the structure, you don't need to go right down with the rafters.
@@Qwijebo what's a knee wall?
@@lolazal1 just a 3 or 4 ft wall that partitions off the floor/wall

Can't wait to start our A-frame build in a couple of months!! loved the video :)
Did you do it? What are some pro's and con's?
Nice ! Love it ! We'll you make it what pitch you want ?

Love the build! Mind if I ask what the base dimensions are? Looks like a great size
He meant to say 56 degrees= 17.791" high per 12" run. This is more true to "A" frame style opposed to 8:12 sloped roof.
now i'm inspired... i want one... gonna build one
Can you tell me about the furring strips between the framing and the the plywood sheathing? Why not nail the sheathing right to the 2x8 framing? Would love to see the finished product!!
I want this house.
Hello Kim, How much was the average cost for this build for the 1400 sq ft?
Hearing that women's voice for so long I got a migraine.
Awesome 👏
Very nice.!! 👍
I have that exact same fireplace!
I’m doing a shot every time they say hack !!!
Love 😍😍😍
the guy is a pro...."we can put a light in there"under the staircase... without making a face or rolling an eye he said "of course"....a true pro😀
even in the beginning: 'we are in texas' we are. 'we are standing in the middle of this aframe' we are.
there is a lot of room for plumbing and electrical. easy access when reairs are needed.
Is pretty but how many fit there 2 people?
Does it snow enough to warrant the A-frame?
Since its all roof, why does it seem that a=frames never have roof vents?
Many do.
Do you even need a roof vent in an A frame if you keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter?

I think if you maintain your home with good air conditioning in the summer you wouldn't need it.
hi i'm from thailand thank you for nice content i looking for A-FAME HOME to make The RECORD STUDIO in Koh SAMUI Thailand
Wish we could see an update on this home…
I would think the small unused corner spaces would be a perfect place to put duct-work. Our A-frame home currently has hydronic heating/no cooling. We hope to install duct-work with a geothermal heat pump.
How much is this awesome piece of woodwork? Love it!
Is there another video showing the final product?
is there a plan you can buy to copy this house plan ?
Can you imagine making the bottom corners liftable like a van back door
hi can you make a build hacks for wood structural frame of the A-framed house? thank you so much for the learning lessons of this project..
How long does it take to build a A home
Nice!
Good evening,
Is this a avrame USA kit ?
Second how can I get a construction loan for a house that is a A frame?
How can I present to a bank this type of housing.
Any info you can share would be awesome and appreciated
Don’t let her walk onto your home build site with your wife. You will be spending more money. She is the “good idea fairy”.
Yup!
How much did this cost all together?
And what’s the dimensions of the house?
How small is this girl? Her child is half her size, the guy looks like a giant, and the iphone in her back pocket looks like an ipad
She's eight steps tall, or 64 "
@@chuckcassel5417 , I did the same calc as soon as I saw the stairs. But I think those are 7" stairs which is fairly standard. If so then she is 4'8 which just by the looks of her I think is more likely than 5'4"

@@offroadr I was thinking 7 or 7¹/², she definitely isn't 5'4". That would make that guy 6'8".
Woman. The word you are looking for is woman. She is obviously not a child herself.
the scope creep 4:50
Do you build in chile?
Mind sharing the price range for a project like this?
How many sq ft is this unit?
I’m curious of the dimensions.
One word “ babysitter”.
She's got strong arms, I was thinking about it too
Yup....I went there
How dare children exist and not get in the way of anything?
Greatness
thank you for watching!
He must have misspoke on the roof pitch, definatley not an 8/12. Maybe an 18/12.
i was thinking the same thing
He strikes me more as a non-building designer archi-type.."my guys are great"
Lol nope the standard way to describe the angle is how many inches of rise per 12 inches span. 8/12
@@jenniferhermanson8969 try again, it’s 57 degrees so it’s more like 18.47/12...Just Google what the rise/run is for a 57° roof. I’m sure it’s not and 8/12... I build houses for a living!

Is it cheaper to build an A-Frame?
Love this but I would not put the staircase in the middle. Thanks for the inspiration. Thank God we don't do custom builds. LOL
what is the w*h with out the porch
Lovely :)
Whats the cost?
Texas?
Thought the the whole point of an A-frame was to take a high snow load.
At least have it slide off under its own.
Central Texas is New California.
Super great for the snow load but just a very cool way to build much more economically in any environment.
Would love some subtitles !
Is she really short or that baby really big or is he really tall?😂 thanks for the tips guys
How tall is this lady?
1
4’11”
3' 11"
I think she was going for the Mr. Kate vibe with the baby. They always have their baby. Her voice and laugh is annoying but the baby is super cute
I thought I was the only one noticing the annoying voice! I couldn't even finish watching.
whats the dementions of the floor?
That's what I want to know. Did they use the 5 foot rule for determining square footage? You go to the roof measure 5 foot off the floor to the roof and thats where you start measuring the floor area NOT where the roof meets the floor.
Looks steeper than 8:12
Never mind the fact that they drilled the joist on the loft for the plumbing in the wrong place😂
Please send plan
Keep the stairs to the back.
People forget the purpose for an A frame is for a climate that gets more then 10 feet of snow
Love the place, can she stop talking
That voice just kills any beauty that you are seeing..
At least when she's 80 she'll still sound like a little girl. I got half way and turned the volume off.

Very nice project. _o/
Next week the baby will be carrying her.
Did the baby go to the pub when she went upstairs ,as he/she disappeared ,i hope she didn't drop it on the way up.
I wish i can live la bas
you said 8/12 pitch? that's not an 8/12 pitch. More like a 20/12 pitch. Was this a miss quote?
Was it just me or was there a steamy draft in the air between those two
Pretty sure he meant 18/12
Did she say money shot 😳
😊👍👍👍
People love A frames until they try living in them.
The way you grip that kid half your size for the whole video.....🥺🥺
that must be an 18/12 pitch, not eight. My house is 10/12 and this is way more steep.
definitely not an 8/12 pitch lol
Only for land that is cheap. An A-frame is very inefficient using land area. It is cheap to build and on cheap land it is a great combination. Anywhere else it is wasteful.
