Building a barndominium

[SirReal63]

I'm going to have closed cell foam sprayed after I'm done with plumbing & electrical. Depending on how expensive it is, I'll either have it all closed cell foam or a layer sprayed directly on the metal and then fiberglass batts.

I would have preferred the spray foam but it was cost prohibitive for a total of 4400 sq ft. I am happy to report that what we did has worked better than I could have hoped for. Our most expensive electric bill has been about $160, that is for the whole property, both buildings and the well pressure pump. I keep the house at 74 degrees too.

I installed the windows. Next up is sheathing the wall one interior wall and then closed cell foam insulation

Nicely done. Bummer about the position of that horizontal metal framing member; preventing you from putting the windows any higher.

Did you use tempered/safety glass at least, I hope?

Nice production. The music makes me think of the late 1940s early 1950s Superman cartoons (my sons love them) .

I would have liked to watch it to the end, but had things to do. Jon

I absolutely love seeing young couples build their home. Benefits to their relationship is never-ending.

The windows will be about a foot of the floor, just doesn't look like it in the video. No safety glass, I just won't let my 12 year old ride her tricycle upstairs.

Thanks for the young couple compliment. We've been married for 22 years.
