a shipping container wld be a lot heavier and have less curb appeal. quality takes time.

very nice vision Balzac, do you have a plot of land picked out that you're gonna drive it to?

I've been looking at plots. I want to have at least 5 acres, but hopefully more.

I just started the shiplap pine this morning. First time I've ever used it, I'd have to say its harder to use than tongue and groove.

 

[Balzac89]

I'm also using cull board. I bought it because it's three dollars a board cheaper. $8.50 or 5.50

The boards have alot of twist and crack / missing knots but I like the rustic look plus i'm cheap

Not sure they have stores in ny or not but here in ontario habitat for humanity has storefronts that sell donated materials for like 20%.
Half of the stuff is new and the people just ordered to much.
Worth looking into tho

There's a place called the reuse center down here that tears down and recycles old buildings.

I stop there every couple of weeks and browse.

Probably the same kind of thing.
Habitat for humanity is just a big worldwide thing so im not sure if they would have a better selection.
I dont know.
Just trying to help man.
My buddy bought a set of glass sliding patio doors for like 125$ so i know they have great prices.
He built his whole house from donated stuff. His kitchen cabinets were made of six bathroom vanities for like 300$
I think his whole house cost 5k

That looks fucking awesome man. I like the pine planks. I dig rustic too. Feel free to keep updating with pics when you get more time. My daughter and work have pretty much sapped anytime I have for projects. So I think I'll live vicariously through you lol.

Ran out of shiplap pine at the outlet. I have to wait a few more days till they get a new shipment.

I started laying out the floor plan.

That's fucking awesome dude. That door is sick!

 

[KLITE]

I for one aprove. If i was your kid id be claiming that as my living quarters.

 

[Balzac89]

I'm hoping I can get it finished before winter sets in. I think it would be nice to stay in it for a bit.

It was an expensive door, kinda wish I hadn't spent so much. It does look nice tho...

 

[Balzac89]

I sat down and added up my receipts so far just over $7,500 dollars. I think I'll be close to 10k by the time its all done.
