Our Pole Barn House from Start to Finish 

I’ve watched a lot of the pole barn home builds on RU-vid and being a custom home builder I think this start to finish video is the best I’ve seen for those do it yourselfers needing a good overview of the building process. What you’ve done can be done by nearly anyone with the right amount of planning, budgeting and commitment. You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to build a home. Just keep the first one simple like these folks have done. I’d encourage anyone interested in doing this to earmark this video for learning the process, how to techniques and inspiration. You will not only save money and enjoy the country lifestyle but by doing this you will both learn and acquire a lifetime skill set and acquire a confidence that will help you overcome many other challenges in your life’s journey. I built my first home when I was 22 years old working on it part time from my regular job and to my surprise a doctor bought it from me. So I kept on going and built another one, and then an other and another. I’m now a 76 year old but still enthusiastic about building. Thanks for making this video and to all that watch it be encouraged. Best wishes to everyone.

You and your family are such an inspiration, my wife and I have a 2 year old and we are so excited to move out to the country and build a pole barn house. Thanks for all the great videos!!!

Talk about an inspiration man. Me and my wife have been stalking the channel for awhile, and are purchasing a piece of land to do a build similar! We just had a little one and want to be mortgage free. Thanks for sharing! Many happy years to come in your home with your family

You will never regret including your kids in projects. My kids are adults now and remember those days. Time moves on; make some positive memories for the family.

You guys did a great job and were our inspiration to tackle our own build.

Good job guys. Me and my boys are gonna build us one for a hunting cabin and hangout. This video gave a lot of good tips. Thanks.

My building inspector talked me into building a pole barn. Thanks for the inspiration.

Beautiful home.

Awesome to watch from start to end. We have been working on our polebarn home for almost a year. The Amish Stick framed it and we are finishing the rest or contracting out. Man, it's alot of work, but worth it.

Congratulations and an awesome build. We want to do something like this on our 31 acre farm and do it to be debt free.

Beautiful!

Beautiful home

Beautiful. Wishing you joy!🎈

Nice brother 👍 well done!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ BEAUTIFUL, I LOVE IT!!!!! GREAT JOB.

Awesome home! Thanks for sharing! 🙂

Wow! You guys are an inspiration.

Very nice indeed

Awesome job

I love what you’ve done with your pole barn house. Would you mind telling me what you used to finish your concrete floors and if over time it’s something that has held up? My daughter and I are in the process of purchasing an existing Pole barn with the intention of converting it to a house. We have been homeless for a year now and are so ready to have a home again.

Beautiful! How did you finish all the pine on the walls? Poly? And what ever, was it applied before the pine was put up after it was all hung? Your little helper is a real cutie.

Is there anyway you could post the blue prints for the plumbing,floor plan etc?

Do you think with a different floor plan a small loft could be built over some of the area? Say like 8 ft ceilings in bedroom/bath area with loft above that with higher open ceiling in Kitchen / Living area? How tall is the tallest part of the house? Sorry for all the questions on your videos but each one peaks my interest and leaves me with different questions.

I love your home great video Curtis I don't know if I missed it but what was the end size of the building and complete sq footage

I have a question do u put the plumbing in before the concrete ?? I’m getting a kit n doing my house my self

What kind of insulation is that ? Looks like its bein g held in plastics bags or is that just the vapor barrier ?

This is so awesome!! I would also like to know the song at the start of the video please!!

So is no drywall necessary before you install the knotty pine on the interior?

Any idea if this would be legal in Florida? We have pole barn like this but not sure about using it for a residence. Beautiful job :)

Congrats on a fantastic job. Thanks for sharing all the very informative videos.Getting ready to start a similar project at Enid Lake, Ms. and had a question. I noticed the furnace/air handler is installed horizontally over the laundry closet. Have you had any issues with noise or vibration? Was thinking about doing a package unit outside but I think I like this solution better. Thanks

Looks great! Couple questions if you don't mind. Was the shell a kit? Why did build inside walls in 3 sections (bottom, middle, top)? What is the r value in the walls and roof? Thanks again for sharing 😊

Just found your channel and already loving all videos do you have a link or more info on your trusses

Just curious. What state are you in? Getting ready to do the same in East TN. Thanks for the great videos!

How far apart were the poles? 10ft? Just wondering. Great job. I'm looking into building one now. I'll need more windows and might be going a little bigger but wanting to plan something similar to this.

What kind of permits did you have to obtain? Thinking of doing the same..

Did you do all the interior framing ?

Do you know of any federal grants that could be used to fund building a barn on rural property? Thanks!

Love your channel! In One of your videos you mentioned some thing about the insurance. My husband and I want to build one of these but with a sharp attached also. Is there a problem with insurance if there’s a shop attached?

What state do you live in that allows for no footings or concrete cast around the posts?

A very impressive job all around!👏🏻👍🏻💪🏻🙏🏻 How did you secure your wall bottom plates to the concrete floor?

Congrads on your new house. I am in the building planning process and have been for awhile now. cough, cough.. haha. What is the R value on your ceiling insulation and do you wish you would have went traditional trusses vs. steel if cost was out of the picture. Curious about all the interior finishing and insulation with steel trusses. Thanks in advance, Robert.

What makes this a pole barn house? I’m a beginner, trying to understand different explanations i hear.

You’re opinion what was the hardest part or parts to this build ?

How did you fasten the tin to the ceiling? I can't see screws or nails.

What size are those trusses an how far they spread apart looking to do the same thing

What size is the barn

How wide is your kitchen/ living room

How long did it take from start to finish?

What size barn did you go with?

Was this a kit?

How deep did the piers have to go?

Did you have a footer dug by them ?

What size posts did you use?

If you don't mind about what did it run you? 💸

& cost average ?
