I could watch you build in the wilderness for hours

I agree about no basements. It's such an unnecessary wasted space and just ends up being ignored and becomes a waste land for storage.

I love ranch style homes. Its so much more convenient to have everything on one level.

I bought my first home, 1912 Cape Cod style in VA and i hate the stairs and walls. Its all so narrow and hard to maneuver around.

When my student introduced me to the Barndominum, i instantly fell in love!!

It reminded me of my first apartment in Chelsea Ma that was a loft style apartment with concrete floors, open space concept, and vaulted ceilings.

I loved that place so much. The clean lines and manageability is awesome.

So for my second home, im considering a build.

I do have a question for you. Is it better to build on land that already has a propery on it or completely start from scratch on raw land?

Is there an explanation of why a ranch style would be cheaper than 2 floors for a barndo? My wife and I are looking to build one next year and this is the first time I've heard this mentioned, and Charles doesn't give an explanation as to why. Thanks!

The guy said it cheaper to stay ranch and go wider and bigger how much are you really saving in going wider and longer in land prep work and Concrete on the slab!

I love this video I want to build me one when I retired

[fishingnetwork]

so would the aprox $135/sqft still be if you didn't have garage space?

[codysoest]

I was just quoted $200 a sqft in missouri for a Bardominium

[bobthecreator]

When you say 2000sq/ft, is it habitable square foot or 2000sq/ft with no walls or anything inside?

[zachfisher]

I want to know what’s not included in that cost. Septic, well, appliances?

Chuck Rocks! The Right way is the best way...No cutting Corners to save a Dollar i like his style😀🙌😁

[mikeball]

Is he saying $135 a sq ft for a turnkey home? Obviously material finishes can alter that, but he was talking turn key?
