Building a barndominium

[joeu235]

I finished sheathing the interior wall. Got a quote for 2 inches of closed cell foam over 2400 sq ft of surface area - $5,200.

If you really are going to eventually build a "proper house" I'd think hard about the spray foam expense over f/g. It is the best, but considering your future use...? We planned on doing exactly what you are, that was 8 years ago, but our kids are out of the house and the real estate taxes among other things..... we just finished a small 2 story addition, we're staying here:laughing: (just like Eddie's past experience)

Another great video. :thumbsup:

I got a workout just watching. :laughing: Got a tip on using forks and an expanding plank. I have one that came with my little Giant ladder system.

Yeah, I was one sheet short.

I like that idea of the forks lifting the sheets and the braces for the plank. Will keep that for future work. Jon

I've been working on plumbing while my wife is installing electrical boxes. Just the parts that have to be done now. Really slow progress compared to framing.

Looks like the essential plumbing is in order
After framing, the "big bang" visual progress does seem to slow down but that makes the difference between a barn, and a home :thumbsup:

Insulation !! Finally, I'm so tired of messing with plumbing and electrical.
