What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

I like the steep intersecting gable over the door.

 

I think I do too.

 

If trusses 2’ OC 15 sets including overhang makes building 26 feet wide are we sure it’s a house not a shop or garage?

 

Houses are not 26’ wide?

 

Been dry for 2 months. Getting all that rain today.

 

Many are BUT most roof ridgeline are generally oriented to the longer side of building. If square foot print that is a 676 sq ft house. IME that’s not generally what’s being stick built on new builds.

 

Gotcha, my first house was that exact size. Well insulated easy to heat/cool. Not a ton of space to collect dust. It was great for a single fella and his dog. Then the Mrs. Came along and wanted children so we needed more space and headaches and expenses!

 

Agree Warner single guys with a dog need less space AND adding women and kids require changing what is necessary
Also appreciate simple honest question about an opinion ( mine) and its not an argument
Why I enjoy FHC and your part in it

edited to add; I also like dormer over door so when snow comes off roof you can still open storm door to get out!

 

That's about what mine is,

I don't think it's a garage, but it could be planned for a cabin/summer home rather than a full time residence. On the other hand, it's located in a place very susceptible to wind and weather, so a sturdy well insulated home might be prioritized over extra space.
Could be a single person, could be an older couple retiring back home, who knows.
It's also right next to a facility which hires and houses some seasonal foreign workers due to not enough local workers available, so it could even be for that purpose.

Whatever it is or whoever it belongs to, I'll be interested to see it finished and it'll have a nice view of the harbour and surrounding ocean.

 

My previous house was 24x36 and this one is 24x40 (with less basement space since it has a 24x13 under house garage). The first house was 3 bed and 2 bath (master BR & 3/4 bath in basement). This house is 2-3 BR & 1 bath all on main floor.

 

Our first home was a 10 ft X 50 ft single wide trailer. I would never be able to get all our stuff into one today.

 

My first house was duplex each side 26x32 or 832 sq ft a side not including basement. Rented out my side after remodel and lived in apartment above garage 20x24 because it was cheaper if I shoveled snow mowed lawn for elderly couple.

my point was in today market where land and building materials price have skyrocketed the “average” size has doubled plus so starter homes now do not have 8x10 bedrooms but 8x10 closets

 

The house i grew up in was 24×24. 2 bedrooms, kitchen, living room. No bathroom.

 

Got my window installed. Just need to trim the outside and fix some drywall on the inside.

 

It's amazing/crazy what people think they NEED now a days.

 

When the material prices skyrocketed, for some strange reason I noticed some people scaling it down a bit
