building my own house

[Irongrip400]

I'm putting an 800 square foot addition on my house now, with a total of about 1400 square feet total remodel. I'm managing it myself and its pretty much a nightmare but it is closing out soon, and I should be back in in two weeks. They are painting today and going to finish trimming out the downstairs this week with carpet and hardwood being finished by the beginning of next week. Set the vanities, clean and then boom, I'll be back in.

[Teutonic Knight]

Excellent idea to build a home with your own hands.

[dustin]

I want to build my next home, but I don't trust brown people...

[Coach is Back!]

Whats a Suburb?  My house was built before the Civil War out of Heart Pine, hand hammered Iron nails and good old Slave Labor and the nearest Starbucks is over an hour away.  Fuck off.

That's the deal breaker for me. If there isn't a Starbucks within a mile, I would go crazy.

I built my own cabin on 50 acres in the middle of nowhere. Did it with cash and no longer pay rent or a mortgage.

This guy spent 4 grand. Imagine what you could do with 10 or 20 like I did.

[Marty Champions]

you could build a two bedroom house with about 5 grand in materials

There is a local coffee shop that is much better with fresh baked goods and any kind of coffee you could ever want.

[polychronopolous]

Same here everyone has a cabin.

The trick is build the fucking thing before you start worrying about sewer and water.

Americans seem to be incapable of imaging a world that doesn't revolve around suburbs, suv's and starbucks.

The one this is to insure the land is properly surveyed and marked. The legal costs of any possible errors can be more costly than the land itself.

It doesn't get very cold in a lot of parts. The cool weather and clean environment provide awesome views like this one.

Yeah the canada is cold nonsense is a total joke.

If you wear proper clothing it's a non issue.

Being to hot on the other hand is total fucking shit.

Of course winter does suck, but that's purely a sunlight issue. And I'd much rather a few short days, for a few extra long  ass days in summer.

Anything under 70 degrees is cold in my opinion.

[Borracho]

I went to nova scotia once for about 2 days and it was miserable. But western Canada is quite pretty. Vancouver was  overrun with junkies and bums though. That was 10 years ago, don't know if it's changed

Yeah its changed...now there's even more junkies and bums.

Exactly.

So you'd never go anywhere north of baltimore?

The sad thing is this video just goes to show you how over inflated the cost of living in the city has become. We've become a bunch of soft pussies.

Love this guy.  I bought his book Simple Solar Homesteading a few years ago.  Best way to get a house built.  Ebook is only 7 bucks and he gives you everything you need plus a ton more.

Looks like he needs to clear some trash.

[Natural Man]

this dude house is so cheap and shitty...he doesnt even want to live in it..so what's the point ultimately. Btw it looks like he has way more money than goodcum in the first place to start all these projects.

nevermind the haters who say you need toilet lines,water etc.

no shit, ofc you do.

it's pretty easy to build old fashioned toilets outside your home, just digging a well, and using only cold water from snow/rain, store it in summers. And use a wood stove to heat house, water, food...People considered this being the top of confort for centuries. What is the point of this dude projects if he still needs electricity and gas just like in a normally equipped house, minus the confort and room. If you go for autonomous, then make it fully autonomous from the get go. Looks like an amateur project full of mistakes that went so wrong you re wondering if you shoulntd start it all over again from scratch.

Exactly. Maybe Vissy is behind Goodrum wanting a house.

I have no use for anything north of Baltimore.

[Parker]

my dad built his own house... 150k in loans, paid it off in two years.  worth 1.6 mil a couple years ago.

So, he paid it off two yrs ago, and two yrs ago (a couple means two) it is worth 1.6 million?

I think Flint should build a Hobbit House...

[jodsy]
