Guys, you're letting the circle freak you out. Lay out a square inside the circle and use the outside sections of the square as a utility closet, storage closet, or whatever. Then build up and off the square. Easy peezy. Adjust as you go. Stop letting it consume your mind.
Sounds like you could frame in the loft too and really see the fruits of your work. Your interior would look more square but your steps could be curved to accentuate the curve.
YOU young kids are tired after a lil 6 hour drive.........bless your hearts...I am 73 and drive 25 hours straight from Alabama to Denver...come on kids..
Procrastination is a hell of a drug! Just get it done, it'll never be perfect! Should've, would've, could've, but you didn't. Time to either go with what you have or tear down and pour a slab. Obviously, it's your house but stop second guessing everything and figure it out as you go. It'll end up unique and yours.
You guys are my favorite RU-vidrs. I love seeing you guys work together and figure things out. I'm 71 now and missed all my chances to do what you guys are doing. Watching you guys living a real life is a pleasant change from all the BS going on in the world. Love you guys and wish nothing but the best for y'all.
Good Tuesday morning, kids! Stay cool and stay hydrated. I agree with several other people's comments : stop overthinking. The gentleman who suggested using plywood on the round edges. Contact an architect on some of your issues. I have lived in pier and beam houses for 64 of my almost 69 years. As long as you keep up with it, you are okay. You are going about it the right way. The advantage of this kind of foundation is you DON'T have to put in your plumbing and electrical lines before you start your build. You can at least fix issues that can be fixed without breaking up a concrete slab. If you do build the barndominium/shop, then pour a concrete slab if you want. I have absolute faith in you two. P.S. Props to Danielle. I worked 40 hrs/week with a husband and infant-->toddler while doing my pre-nursing and nursing school. I wasn't at the top of my class, but by golly, I made it through. If Danielle was valedictorian while working like that, well done. 😊
I have to agree with some others that commented. Scrape the grain bin project, build a Barndo/shop so you can get out of that small camper and move on with life. We love your channels, love your animals and your property but seeing how you just got married - you just need to move on and enjoy each other. Life moves to fast. Remember MIRACLES HAPPEN TO THOSE WHO BELIEVE
Happy Wednesday morning Jason and Danielle🤗. Y'all have this! Sometimes talking about what you may perceive as an issue/problem, will become clear! Have a great Wednesday!!
Now is the time to do it right before you start the interior. Disassemble the grain bin, pour a rectangular slab. You can use the deck as a deck. 6x6 beams are not substantial. To support that kind of weight , you need at least 8x8. If you have tornadic winds it will rip rhe boards up L brackets bolted to concrete will survive strong winds. Then pour inside 2" to seal it. You will never regret spending the extra money.
Have you thought about adding a 8x12’ addition off the side of the bin for your bathroom? Include a closet for a stackable washer & dryer as part of the 8x12’. That would free up a lot of living space inside the bin.
What you are not realizing is that some of us have been 100 percent disabled since very young, doesn’t make us lazy! I am getting older now and wish I had been able to do more in life, be kind to those whose shoes you have never walked in! I have watched from the beginning and will continue, but try to remember some of us never had the opportunity to chase or follow our dreams.
Hey guys! Just an idea…could you just start building your Barndo & convert the grain bin into an entertainment space? Bar, cantina, grilling, hangout etc We had a similar issue with our house build & had to work thru those issues. We were going to chat with you at BamFest about it but never got that opportunity. I know you guys will work it out, you always do!! Good Luck to you!
I drove a mixer truck in Guthrie OK for 8 years I saw all kind of builds both housing and commercial. Your floating slab idea would crack in a few years because you would not have the proper footing. Then you would Have some serious problems with the bin home. All slabs for housing have to have Footing poured 1st then you pour the slab, 2 Concrete pours. A 3rd if you want a stem wall for the bin to bolt too. Your Deck will out live your desire to live in the bin. Stop sweating over "what ifs". Plus when you pour the concrete slab all plumbing has to be stubbed in place Before you pour.
Don,t sweat this you guys you will figure this out, I believe in you, you got this, I,m sure this is mind blowing but take your time do what you have to do and most of all BELIEVE ,we are all hear behind you rooting you on, stay safe love you guys.
The heat here in Oklahoma is dangerous. I went to Rocklahoma last summer and it almost killed me. I wasn't in a grain bin with no ventilation. Your place is going to be amazing, but it's not worth dying for. Go after what you want, but please do it safely. When Danielle is away, you put yourself through some grueling work. Until you get some ventilation, please don't hurt yourself for content. Those of us who are invested in you and your journey will still be here. No matter what. Take care of yourself, RU-vid isn't worth dying for. Heatstroke is no joke.
Your lucky you two are young and healthy i worked in a nursing home over 30yrs was hard physical work now im suffering with pain because i gave my all working for them good job but when i left 3 people had to replace what jobs i did they dident realize what jobs i did but now being devorced my first wife got it all we owned our house now remaried 20yrs havent got very far in life now i was working night shift loved that only 10 yrs though then they put me on days was the hard job so life is not good you were saying about life and so on. Now im retired and on a pension but its not much now !! Good vidio today i like it you telling us about your lives
You guys throw in talk every once in awhile about kids but yet there’s not a second bedroom even in the math of your home? Just saying! Love you guys! Susan/ohio
Hey, believe it or not, you have been my inspiration for RU-vid. I followed your advice on just keeping on going and now I am starting to see the benefits of that advice and overnight my channel has grown by the thousands of views and subscribers. Love you guys ❤love your channel and the content! Thanks ❤❤❤❤
Okay first thing to support any structure you need framing for your walls. Every place you want to go vertically you need support ɓeneath it. That means going thròugh thè deck and putting support piers. The piers support your load bearing walls. Also your 2x4 flòor framing is overkill 2x4 on side or rip the 2x4s into 2x2 then nail or screw them to your floor. Now for your walls that encircĺe the outsidè of the inside of your bin you need to frame the entire circle areas of the walls . Ill explain more for you in an email ìf you desire or in a phone call.
Before you can do anything you have to have utilities figured out with a good floor plan! Once plumbing and electrical work is done you can lay the floor, tape off the walls and go up! Concrete requires a detailed plan but wood is flexible enough that you can put the utilities anywhere with good blocking! Treated wood will outlast you above ground as it gets air, won’t mold and repels insects. Like any construction, one the base is complete you just need basic carpentry skills. Once you know the radius of your bin. It’s constant regardless of where contact is made on the exterior. Windows will be framed the same way as regular frames with the exception of the sill which will have the same radius for each frame. You making it much harder than it should be, maybe it’s your A D H D thanks fogging up your thinking! Hire a contractor, if you need to, to come in and give you ideas and knowledge of how to proceed. Any cuts in the bin will need welded tubing for strength and mounting the rough opening. The bin is galvanized steel so welding should be done with appropriate respirator or done by a professional.
Amazon has clear domes and round plexiglass panels, that you could use on top of the bin for light. You could make it open to for ventilation! Even could install a fan for more airflow.
Jason, you ARE "all over the place"! I'm so stressed out just listening to you go on and on about the same shit. Danielle tries to talk but you won't even let her finish a sentence before you interrupt and bring it back to you. Thankfully, she's calm and let's you just go on talking about yourself. I don't know how she does it. She must get knots in her stomach. I can't even finish this podcast, I made it 37 minutes though.
@@ilenewojtyna6100 People like you are part of the problem nowadays. This is a forum where we can voice our opinions. I like the show most of the time. Yes, I agree that she loves him and understands him, but after awhile, this is going to also get on her last nerve if he doesn't see that there's an issue. She's a nurse, which took alot of sacrificing and effort on her part, and she's no dummy, and should be respected. In the beginning of their relatonship he was all googly eyed and respectful, but now he is slowly treating her the way he treated his last girlfriend.
@@ilenewojtyna6100 Also want to say that I really like Jason and I think he has a lot of great qualities and tries his best. Something just comes over him at times that needs to be addressed.
"Time to take a risk" story? Ok. I sold some stuff a few weeks ago. Yesterday, I set up the laser cutter I bought with some of that money. Started working the computer program yesterday and successfully engraved some pieces. Grateful to God! LOTS of learning to process, but my goal is to make this my "retirement years" business. It's worth a try! Cheers to you folks.
Jeff and I just love ya'll. You remind us of our younger days....such hard workers to achieve your dreams. I was a nanny too! I took care of Senator James Inhofe's grandchildren. Just loved that job. As I went to college to become self-employed, as a Registered Electrologist. Then, on weekends...I worked at St. Francis Hospital. Three jobs at the same time. And Jeff has worked as a Process Engineer, traveling all over the World. It's all about motivation and dreams. You have to get up and do it! Life is to short....follow your dreams! We are your 'ole neighbors now, as we enter our 60's...but you still see us trying lol,...hope to be on the 20 soon...trying to sell our Keystone Lake home...poor economy right now. We are ready to live a simplier, retired life. Keep up the good work...life goes too fast, enjoy everyday. Jeff and Tracie.
I thought of an idea. On Homestead Rescue during the rescue of 2 Alaskan firefighters Misty made a curved support out of bender board. She glued 3 boards together to gain the strength. She set them up in a frame to dry so you would have to create a frame ( use bin and deck to make the half circle.) and lay the boards down flat to glue together. I hope this makes sense. At least you could have only a few long pieces the shape of the bin. Make all of the top and bottom pieces out of your frame before nailing anything in.
With the airflow you will have under that deck I don’t think you will have near the rot you think. The biggest risk is the boards cupping and holding water near the edge of the bin. Make sure you get gutter on that roof to channel the rain shed off the deck.
Depending on how long you want the house to last, i might start over and do a slab. Either way, you should probability have some sort of seal on the bottom of the bin.
If you’re going to change the foundation, get it done first. THEN…. Figure out exact location and size of the front door and the windows, they at least should be properly framed out before the walls. Install permanent framing with a temporary door, so it doesn’t get ruined during the construction (find used door of correct size, on marketplace, resale shop or on the curb). You need some cross ventilation while you’re working in there, because you refuse to mask up, the ventilation would at least help a bit. My friend just found out a couple days ago, from building new deck area, that all those chemicals (in the wood, the sealer, etc), you’re inhaling, is not good for your lungs, your decision. Now I’m throwing in a nickel’s worth. Following are my thoughts and opinions. The main, much larger, bathroom should be upstairs, powder room right below, for easier plumbing access. Reasoning, do you really want to run downstairs: In middle of the night?; When you’re sick?; When Danielle is pregnant??? Make your loft floor 3/4 size, instead of 1/2 of the diameter, you’ll still have the openness and it could be nicely balanced out with some planning. You really need to put it on paper first. I know its not your style, but it’s very important. You can freelance with the cabinets, appliances and decorating. Like I said, my opinion. You’re my #1 favorite channel, even when I don’t agree with everything you say or do 😘 Please be kind to each other. Love you and your families and all their hard work. God Bless Y’all!!!
Let's Go 👽🍸🍹🍺🍻 the roof got you 😅😂 lol ... Jason your over thinking it brother both of your minds together will make it work you both are so talented to make your goals come true no matter what it takes ,1000% I totally understand what your talking about me and my wife where very well off but in 2019 had a accident and had to have brain surgery but where pushing through and making it work since I'm not able to work anymore so I love watching your videos for Inspiration that anything can be done even though my disabilities thanks to you both I've been Inspired so much. To try anything..
I would think you could do top and bottom of walls with plywood cutting the pieces the width of a 2x4 with the circle shape,rinse and repeat,and glue and screw together, for 1.5 thick(3 half inch pieces),super strong, easiest way to get the circle done and will spread the weight evenly.
Yep,there’s no luck involved. Just a lot of hard work and sticking to it! You two will figure it out and eventually have the home of your dreams. And it may end up being something completely different from what you originally thought. And sometimes you just have to vent/complain and then just get back at it. 😊☕️🇨🇦☕️
Did you see the RU-vid video where this farm family,y turned a grain bin into a pool! Used the top to make a gazebo- it’s pretty unique Griggs Farm in Tennessee
I think the deck was the best choice easy to run plumbing electric sewer also come snow season there will not be snow at your front door the deck is strong and you can always add more supports if y’all think you need it
I think the deck is perfect, and will outlive all of us! Like you said, it's treated much better now a days. Stop second guessing and get on with it! Y'all rock, but are second guessing too much. It's going to be perfect!
Have to say, Id rather build from scratch than renovate. Build from scratch, hard, yes, but at least you know what You might be gonna do and know its gonna be good. Renovation, you have to tear out what someone didnt know what they were doing then start finding more and more problems as you peel back the years of half wits throwing stuff together. Ive done a bit of renovation, you HAVE TO LOVE IT, to put up with it. Helping my neighbor build some of his house, him knowing what he's doing, was a lot easier than tearing out and REbuilding inside of something that wasnt built well to begin with. You have learned a lot having been building for some years now, so youll come out better doing it the way you are.
quit talking ..work this thing..quit complaining ..work this thing..do it..re do it..just get on with it. Cinder blocks under your deck is a very good idea..I would def do that.
Good day good morning- what happened too your hair butterbean ! Finish the outside first ! Stairway railing roof on porch railing around deck - shirting - clean and seal deck - sure up under silo - pre-drill plumbing and electric - secure your structure first ! - insulation floor and moisture barrier- don’t jump around one step at a time - worth the wait when finished ! It’s More Better!
The wood template you made and take it to a shop and they could make them for you but that might be one of the costs you want to eat for your house it's just a question I don't know nothing about buildings
Old apartment building is poured like that, framing, plywood,2inch concrete solid floor they use a piece of 4 inch pipe in the service closet through the floor for plumbing,electrical,ect
Can’t be that difficult after figuring out the radius. Treated wood above ground should last a long time. It works on or in the ground for longer periods than the past method plus it is insects resistant. Planning your plumbing and electrical needs is much easier on a raised deck than a concrete slab because you have to know exactly what the plan is beforehand. In wood you can put it anywhere it needs to go with the proper blocking. You are making it so much harder than it is! Ceiling can be done conventional by lowering it or covered less intricate than what you were in.
Have you seen where people put slits on one side of a board then you can bend it towards the slits. And you can also soak a board and slowly bending it as your holding it in it’s bend. When you get where you want it let it dry in that shape. While it’s being held in its curve.
You are overthinking too much get the floor done go to something else you're not going to build it in one day find project at the time and I would love to hear Danielle's honest opinion about things it is always your opinion always always❤❤❤
I think you need a nice size pantry and a clothes closet and then its just ll fine. I like the drain bin its really nice. You can put a oantry under the stairs you need that
Every concrete slab I have seen without the carpet had massive cracks in it. (Maybe poor building and cheap materials. Old timers unfinished basement seem fine but moisture and moldy smelling) The deck will serve you well especially with the extra support under the bin. Once you get through the walls it will easier.
Sometimes in the game you have to drop back and punt. From the outside looking in here is my suggestion. Stop with the bin for now. Trade your camper in for one twice the size. Find an elderly person with a 10 year old unit. Maintain the "Town" house for one more year. Finish your necessities like permanent reliable power (solar or Pwr Co), water and septic. Hook the bigger camper up and hit reset on the "bin house". Pour a slab and mov the bin to the new location and turn the beautiful deck into a picnic, pool and BBQ area/ Stage! Yep Stage!
When you have kids, plan on homeschooling. That has freed my family to be able to just take off and take trips whenever we wanted. We weren't tied to any school schedules. Also the trips taught my kids math, language and geography in a way that they wouldn't learn behind a desk.
My husband company is having problems trying to find workers and have been that way for the past 4 to 5 years they could run a second shift but they can’t find nobody to work
You’ll work it out. House trailers are on wood bases and there’s lots of them around for many years. Remember closets. I agree about the look of the lama house, homey.
Morning/Afternoon, You could have done it with concrete, but then again there’s no guarantee with that. I’ve been watching this farm family in Iowa who had a million dollar gain sites built by “Experts” and they are having one issue after another. From cracking concrete to parts falling off the bins. Take care Ok….y’all talk me into it. I’m not waiting anymore for the husband to kick in gear…I’m starting our home repairs and hopefully (fingers crossed) improvements without him. And it more than a little caulking and paint. It’s completely down to the floor joists up. Wish me luck and thank you for the kick in the butt. I’ll let you know if this old dog learns any new tricks 😂
I still say, just make a nice outdoor kitchen/ hangout out of it. Put a big lean-to awning on one side for the camper to fit under. Then start working on your home. Like you said before it's just you two. You have all the time in the world. Good luck either way
Danielle, woman to woman; be very, very glad you've built the deck. I don't know how swanky your hospital is, engineered floors and whatnot but think about a 16hr shift on hard tile all day long. Back aches, sore feet, what-have-you. You're used to walking on the earth every day, wood floors will save your back & sanity😉👍
the problem with building on a deck is its not stable forever. the right way if you didnt want to pour concrete would have been a poured footing with a block foundation and then a center beam with floor joists just like a real house would be built. then you drop the bin on that and your floor is done, build your walls and its just way easier, way more perm. you could have had the floor extend for your deck just like you have it. insulate the floor joists and your not trying to stud a floor, or cutting circular plywood. not sure on the size of the joists on your deck but they need to be a minimum of a 2x10 with a center beam is all you need. all your ends all the way around doubled and your bin will be fine. as long as your footings are 36-42" below the ground.
