Love the project, it's looking really good and the house looks awesome.

I hope things continue to go well for your daughter, as much support as one dad can offer through the internet to another.

I couldn't handle how this shed looked when I pulled in my driveway and my house was all dressed out so I added skirting to the front to hide the Z purlins

 

[derek_m]

I like the build, the land looks really nice as well.

Could you provide some details on the structure for the pantry/safe room in the house plan? We are closing on a house not too far from you (Columbia), already planning a garage addition with a safe room.

It is a block wall with concrete filled inside with rebar, 7"of concrete on top with a steel casing door. Its basically a storm shelter. Where abouts in Columbia? My wife is from Columbia

Thanks for the info. We will be in the sunnyside area; we were hoping to find a place more rural but was also open to being in town if we were close to family. This house popped up and was across the street from one of my cousins so we went for it.

Awesome Here is some pics of the pantry and the Steel casing door in it

Got the end skirting done. The wife wanted it triangulated and i am glad she picked it. Now i got to wrap the post in some white.

 

[Chrisb62]

I agree looks more finished for lack of a better word, have you considered dropping steel to grade on the house side only?

I have. However, I get a ton of South wind. I feel as those that would be asking for trouble, making that wall all the way down since that would be catching all that wind.

That would not be something I would do either, that’s one of the problems with armchair quarterbacking from afar, don’t know the other variables. With everything going on around you , you are still making great progress, and it looks awesome.

I got the post wrapped in white so it matches the house more.

 

[not enoughsmoke]

Got some more paneling up and some more Sheetmetal up

[not enoughsmoke]

Got the metal up on the walls in the office and the kitchen and trimmed back the Z-purlins to length

 

[Chrisb62]

Love the graphics from the kids, the place is looking better and better although you may need a few more lights in there.
Kidding aside, it really is looking great, and hope the daughter is doing super.

 

[not enoughsmoke]
