I believe you forgot one of the most important space that you enjoy .... your backyard. Moving from anchorage to anchorage your backyard is changing in colours and facilities, and has limitless combinations, possibilities and opportunities. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Awesome! And here I am, single and using just over three times that to basically store a bunch of stuff. To quote Dan & Kika, "Don't buy a couch!" (I have three 😲🙄)
The nice part of your square footage is that it's all purposefully arranged, rather than an open box to put furniture into with all the spaces around and in between. Another interesting measurement would be cubic feet of storage. Looking forward to seeing how all the projects turn out.
Totally love it !!! Fun episode and sooooo much energy. Since you most likely not live in the cold, I believe all the SF is countable. I mean, how often does Jessica (and Kelsey when there) cuddle up in the cockpit or hang out or have a meal !!~ :) :) :)
Garages typically are NOT included unless it is heated (and air con), basically enclosed or converted into an actual room and living area. However, that can vary in a few places, but no it is supposed only be actual living spaces, which does include closets (they are heated areas). In essence pretty much anything that is counted inside of exterior walls and although not always true, but where such walls has been insulated and/or should have been insulated. A garage door is not an exterior wall, nor are those walls usually insulated or even quite often even finished inside. Those forward lockers is a bit iffy. Technically they can guess, but it is not really actual livable space the way that is designed. So I really would not. It is more like a shed or attic / basement storage area, although it is inside of the exterior and part of the actual interior. Again reminds me more like attic space, in which that depending upon area is where you start to run into more requirements before its considered, such as above x height and other possible requirements. For only 30 more feet, I just would leave it out, unless maybe you had like washer / dryer in there, a berth or something.
Opps, I googled "compute house square footage" and found "According to ANSI’s American National Standard For Single-Family Residential Buildings, finished areas must have a ceiling height of at least seven feet, “except under beams, ducts, and other obstructions where the height may be six feet and four inches.”" Not included are Garages, porches (unless they are fully enclosed for year around use and are heated and cooled by the same systems as the house). The seven foot ceiling is a killer for most boats.
So they count as zero feet? I'm going to go ahead veto the stupid rule: any place you can comfortably do what is intended for that room counts: as long as you can stand upright in the salon, as long as you can stretch out on the bed, as long as you can sit comfortably on the head, it all totally counts.
Thank you for the video interesting. I live in a pretty small space myself in a slide in truck camper. I'm not sure how much living space I have but it's not very much it certainly isn't 400 square feet.
I say that you can include your cockpit: in Canada I wouldn't count my deck, but in China we totally count our deck. If it's covered and you can generally use it, it counts.
You're not from America so it's assumed you're educated😜 It's just math, 3.3' in a meter. I'm from Canada and we go back and forth all day long: on your insurance application it will ask "how many square feet" , and the very next question will be "how many meters to a fire hydrant"! But maybe Canadian education is just superior to yours 😉.
@@jandradventures Teach both: imperial is harder and she's American, so she'll need it, but I'd imagine sailing around the world she'll mostly be seeing metric. But don't make a big deal of it: it will come very naturally about the same time as she's learning to work with fractions: converting imperial to metric is a real world use of the skill.
