Nice progress!

Cool build! thanks for sharing.

I really dig the railing, what material did you use for the horizontal tubes?

Thanks

Tip: Instead of card board which tends to curl and get kinda nasty looking. Get a sheet of cement board. It soaks up the drippings and doesn't seem to leak through. Plus it looks just like the floor so its not as noticeable. Can be used outside on driveways too.

I just use a big metal tray that's about 3' X 4', they cost about $10.00 ea. The cement board might work, I've never seen it use for that.

Love that TT!

thanks for the tip!!! I am going to move her back in the dirt until my lift gets here and installed. but i will definitely pick up some cement board to have on hand

Couple questions:
1. What was the rationale in not locating the kitchen sink to under the nearby window to its left?
2. Appears that house is not offset very far from your access road based on short length of new concrete driveway. Did you consider being farther away from road?
3. What are plans for new matching furniture given all the metal finish inside the house?

Also, how about a pic from house up the new driveway?

nice questions!!!

1. Wife didnt want it under the window and I am not going to question since she doesnt question me and my shop layout.

2. based off of land lay out we wanted to be as center as possible but now in or too close to the drycreeks since we dont want flooding.

3. furniture will slowly change out. Most of our cash was used to get this house to a as low as possible cost. Fencing, electrical, driveway, etc was all paid out of pocket.

I will get you a pic tomorrow!! Thanks again for your interest!

pics of interior

and the piping we used for the railing

madoc1 · Feb 5, 2015

those pics really show whats happening. it looks a bunch warmer now, and also looks a very family oriented place. great shot of your son going into I guess is his room. do they each have their own?

Morio · Feb 5, 2015

he is actually showing me the game he wants to play... lol his room is far left corner in this pic. and yes each kid had their own room... plus a game room up stairs and one downstairs. plus my office and my wifes art room. it roughly 4,400 sqft of home..

and thank you, it is warming up nicely to us!!

BUGTHUG · Feb 6, 2015

So any of the boys jumped over the rail onto the brown couch? :evil:

mistervelocity · Feb 6, 2015

I've been watching this since the beginning but maybe I missed it; How did you get the larger furniture pieces upstairs? Can't imagine moving mattresses and dressers up a spiral staircase.

Morio · Feb 6, 2015

we used the staircase on the shop side. this was built for larger items plus it lets the older boys come and go via separate entrance

Nighttrain · Feb 6, 2015

Should be a nice sunny weekend. So cool to see you in the house/garage

mikeed · Feb 6, 2015

Very nice job. I love it.

Railing looks great.
You would never get away with it in NZ though.
Horizontal railings that kids can climb up are not allowed.

gtcrshr · Feb 7, 2015

you cant fart in NZ with out some one complaining about it

i have enjoyed your build

Cool C6 Vette · Feb 7, 2015

Just read through 16 pages and now I hate my life even more than usual. :lol:

rixtrix1 · Feb 7, 2015

Wow, Morio. I lost track of this build after page three and just finished the next 13 tonight. Great build. I have always dreamed of a home in an "industrial" type setting, even designing one as a project in a drafting class in college. My wife would be on board also. subscribed

Morio · Feb 7, 2015

thanks everyone! we still have a lot of work ahead of us! Hope to have an open house late Spring.

Morio · Feb 7, 2015

Excuse me???
I have lived here for 62+ years and have never seen that as the norm.
Are you sure you are not getting NZ confused with Australia?

Hardly a useful 1st post by the way. :lol_hitti

EVOLVO · Feb 8, 2015

Morio,
Well, this is really somethin'! What a build, I'm jealous just like all the others. I used to travel for a living as a service engineer in the marine industry before I retired. So if it's not too impertinent of a ? what keeps you on the road so much?

I'm in sales, my company is based in the TPA area, while the head quarters of the account I call on is in Austin. I also have to travel to 11 different regional offices of said account. The company I work for wanted someone who lives in/near the accounts head quarters.

So one week a month, I'm in Tampa. One week in a Regional Office and finally two weeks in my home office or account head quarters

FordGuy24 · Feb 8, 2015

Great build!

65cayne · Feb 8, 2015

Morio,
I admit when I started reading this thread tonight I was a little "meh" when I saw the industrial steel going up. Tell your wife she did an awesome job. The color, look, and feel of that building exterior is very well done. It looks fantastic. Quite a home inside and out.

Morio · Feb 9, 2015

thanks! we appreciate it!

Morio · Feb 23, 2015

Quick update... still no electricity in my shop side, it's been hard to find an electrician to come out this far. But with some help of our friends looks like I have 2 bids to choose from. Hopefully next week someone will be here to finish that off and then I can order my compressor and 2 post lift.

Tomorrow our wood burning stove gets installed (another delay of roughly 4 wks)... While we are quite pleased with everything so far it's still a "hurry up and wait" kinda build.

I did however pick up my "ranch rig" 2005 Porsche Cayenne Turbo a low 74k miles well maintained truck that I couldn't pass up! I have some nice wheels and about to order some BFG AT tires for it.... the local PCA guys will have a fit
