Framing a small house build (720 square feet) 

Love watching your channel ! It's very informative. We are planning to downsize in the near future and it gives us an idea what costs are involved. Wish I could find a builder like you here in northern Canada . Keep it up 👍

Talk to Shawn James hes from Canada he'll build you a nice cabin, that man is awesome. :)

Do you have to use structural engineer for your plans, or civil, how much are the costs of it... thanks

I make my own so no cost there.

Migraine Craftsman are you legally allowed? Im very confused... so you are saying that if i buy a property i can design and build a house by my self however i want, size, materials i use, spans? Do i have to check in with anyone, city/county before building ? Thank you very much, im very confused in preconstruction/designing processes. Also it will awesome if you can arrange your content properly, name your projects and put names in the title somewhere so everyone could find easier the video They want about a specific project. Thanks a million!

I love a quiet house, one way to add sound deadening to a house is carpet but I am not a fan of carpets since I discovered vinyl flooring. I also like insulating interior walls that also makes a difference and that is what I am going to do here.

I'll said a prayer for you, be safe out there.

@@MigraineCraftsman THANK YOU... NOW I KNOW THEY WILL GO STRAIGHT UP WITH A DIRECT LINE!!!! ...🙏🏡 🐾

:)

Yes Sir, love those guys.

Whithout you guys I got no channel, I also have some things planned for the future for my subscribers but that will come with time. Take care Manny stay healthy out there.

Thank you, I have some stuff planned for future building seasons that would speed up your wait tremendousley. Keep an eye on my future builds.

Save your $$$$ and you can do it. If you build small and humble you can get this done under $100K and when you have questions feel free to ask. Thx again for the kind words and sharing my channel with people.

Thank you, I appreciate the kind words.

Great to see you around was worried the zombie virus got you. Remember the 7 rules of zombieland, or is it 5

Thank you Sir, I wish you lived closer so we could build millions of these little guys.

@@MigraineCraftsman I need to retire already.... Glad to know I could relocate and find a job.

Yes Sir, that was the plan. I also am planning to make a little relaxing area facing the view. I have couple of ideas we'll see what I decide on.

@@MigraineCraftsman I can't wait to see what you come up with.

Thx Jesse

Love to hear that, one of the many reasons I made the channel.

Rough estimate on materials? I do hvac so that's one less thing I have to pay someone for. And have friends in basically all trades. Just needed a rough estimate orln materials. Which has probably changed since haha

Thank you for the kind words don't make me cry I cant spare the fluids been in the sun all day and got burned.

@@MigraineCraftsman apply some aloe Vera lol!

@@n.s.5001 I did it still burns!!! :)

/cheers if you guys have any questions when you get going feel free to ask.

@@MigraineCraftsman thank you soo much

@@MigraineCraftsman good night sent you an email concerning this home.. looking forward to your response

Zee good to see around brother stay healthy.

Thx Peaches, stay healthy and safe out there.

Migraine Craftsman Hey, Mr. MC, welcome, trying to. Our world is so crazy right now. Hope you and your family stay safe and well. Peaches

Thx, stay healthy out there.

I will defenitelly make more of those with new software this time :) so it looks better

Thank you

Thank you Sir just left you a big fat thumbs up on your new vid that tongue and groove looks awesome. I actually want to do a house all in tongue and groove but people keep telling me I MUST have drywall,(for resale).

Estoy contento de poder ayudar gotta love google translate

Thx

Can you come to my town and build me a small house I'm a senior widow

It's interesting that yours stopped at 19 and mine begun at about 19 years old.

Thank you, I am doing a lot of what you said, no sodas, shakes or cereal at all, zero. I cut down a lot on sugar that just made me feel better all together, but head still pounds. Thank you for the advice I always experiment, I did find when I cut out bread products I get less migraines.

@@MigraineCraftsman have you been tested for gluten sensitivity? You could do your own test by completely cutting it out for 30 days.

@@nancyfryhover Not officialy by a doctor, I did my own test as you said that lsted longer then 30 days and I still got em.

You can’t find one now for under 120 k

I like my headers to be solid, I love lvls but those things are not cheap.

Thx BB :)

Glad to be of help.

:)

Stay safe and healthy out there

I'm going to caulk the heck out of it later.

Migraine Craftsman Hi Gosh, you really should try a sill-sealer like this: www.homedepot.com/p/Owens-Corning-FoamSealR-5-1-2-in-x-50-ft-Multi-Use-Ridged-Sill-Plate-Gasket-2FS/202080947 It’s really effective, cost efficient; and it’s available at Home Depot! Unless you have an unlimited supply of caulk on hand, this is the way to go! You were very patient explaining that different areas of the country have different foundation requirements. In NH, my dacha’s foundation is 12” thick, goes down four feet below grade, and used 92 yards of concrete! Thanks for all your time & effort in bringing us your videos! Jim

I have some things planned for future builds, it involves people building their house themselfs in a crazy specific way lol (very affordable) Watch the channel and maybe one day you can build a house yourself in your garage or even your living room(but I'm giving away too many top secret future plans) :)

Migraine Craftsman thanks! We found a couple of pieces of land we like but the minimum is like $45k for 3 acres. My mother, my friend, and I plan on buying the land together and putting three houses on it. We hope!

@@AnxiousAuntie Now that sounds awesome you guys will have your own little subdivision of family and friends. $45K for 3 acres is not that bad, keep in mind you can always offer less and see what happens.

Watching and waiting to see how I can build my house myself.

You may want to inquire into modular houses they say are even better than stick build here is a link (sales@buffalomodularhomes.com) i am trying to build also but on a hillside and the trucks would not make the turns

If I told you what I have tried to get rid of these you would think I'm crazy. I'll just have to live with them.

@@MigraineCraftsman I would NEVER think that!! I have done the same with my spinal cord injury from my fall in 2006. From the surgery, cortisone injections, nerve ablasions, nerve blocks, acupuncture, message, & hot tubs feel the best temporarily. Supplements & herbs, essential oils, cupping that are like jars that are put on your back that suck in your skin to remove toxins..& the conventional medicine that keeps me at least walking & talking without wanting to hide in the house... Like I'm doing with the rest of the world anyway. So I absolutely UNDERSTAND what it's like to just WISH for some RELIEF!!! I wasn't ready to accept I have to live with this either & I used to have a normal life!! There's so much I MISS!! I can't run or ride a horse anymore, swim not like I could, no long drives without a break, or walking or sitting..some things so simple like if I looked up a tree at a darn squirrel nest that used to build every year b4 it finally got cut down.. Looking up I could truly see stars & black out.. So it's a big NO. A tens unit or dry needling was NOT for me either.. It hurts instead of providing any comfort. Your blessed with a gift to do what you do!! Your homes are amazing and with my dog still not well I'm thinking TN more & more. I just ordered a trail camera so I can get some proof of what's going on in my yard!! And you don't need to have the internet at home!! Prayers there is something you MISSED for them migraines!!! 🤞🙏

Glad to be of help /cheers

Zeyno!!! I always get happy when I see you. That bear or koala makes me smile.

@@MigraineCraftsman thank youuuu :) ❤

I’m in Georgia. If he is I want him building my house! I really need to know who he is 😂

Honest opinion I am not a fan. Studs are spaced out too far apart and if you manage your construction site well with minimal waste you can get very close to what advanced framing has to offer with regular construction methods. If you watch future videos notice there is little to no wasted lumber with these guys. They are awesome. Most are ex military, main guy has done this for over 40 years now.

@@MigraineCraftsman Thank you for your input.

Yup, maybe one day I will, who knows. There is a lot of things I want to build but my checkbook is holding me back. One day.

It's a go pro 8 I gave up on the sony ax53, the downside of the go pro it sucks in low light but everything else I love.

Bolts, take a look at this episode it shows that ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tFyhJ-S7FcE.html

Many times, I want to do a raised garden so I dont have to bend over and kill my back. At some point I might put that on youtube if people would watch me trying to grow some monstrosity of a vegetable.

@@MigraineCraftsman Lol! Yes! I would totally watch it! I'm certainly more suited to gardening than building lol! Besides, Organic and natural is the healthier option!

Greetings and thx, bottom plate will be caulked later when I'm ready to insulate my baby. I also would love to do radiant heat but $$$$$$

Migraine Craftsman : thanks for the reply. I am under the impression that radiant floor is cheaper and very efficient and cheaper maintenance. Should add value to home. Not sure if you need cooling unit for summer. Here in PA, we can open windows in summer

@@squeekhobby4571 This house is in GA so cooling is a must in the summer. That means in my scenario it would be more $$$, hey but in different areas it might work just fine as you said.

I used to live in an area like that, red tape costs more then the actual build

The final grade will be done towards the end of the build, as for the wall it got done the next day no big deal.

Anchors come later that is how we do it here and it's not an issue.

Thank you for the kind words, keep looking there is a lot of good guys out there but they are usually very busy and you will have to wait your turn for them to get to you.

TN is where I want to end up for the rest of my life too & just looking into ways how.. Tiny homes, RV, it doesn't matter as long as I have all I need I'd be happy. I have no problem with repurposed materials in fact I want the old home look & rustic anyway!!!

@@dianesamp9102 TN is a nice area mild winters as well.

Yup they are coming later, should be next spisode or so.

Thank you for your reply and the videos in general. I started renovating houses here in New England about a year ago but wondering if I could get into building. Slab foundations seem so simple wondering if we could do something similar here in New England if we add radiant heat and frost walls.
