HomesteadingBarndo

In September of 2019 we decided that we were ready to move out of California, the only trouble ewas we didn't know where we wanted to move. We knew we wanted land and to be able to build something that had space for homesteading and our kids, but we didn't know where. This is the story of our family leaving Southern California to find the perfect spot for our family. Like the rest of the world, we had no clue that the world would shut down in the exact time that we were planning on making our escape. We show our Rig, which is a 2020 Forest River Sabre 38DBQ, our truck which is a Ram 3500 and the decision-making that went into getting ready to go.

never though we would see a tornado up here!!

here's a cheap and easy way to make shiplap for your walls. using 1/8 in underlayment plywood. The cost per square foot comes to less than $0.50 a square foot, which is way cheaper than buying the pre-made shiplap that is $3.08 a square foot. tools that you need to have are a kreg rip cut system a skill saw and tile spacers. I wasn't sure how it would turn out and look, but it looks just as good as the pre-made chip lab that is six times the cost.

In this vlog-style video, I take you along on my journey of drywalling, taping, texturing, and painting the upstairs of my steel barndo. I share my tips and techniques for getting the job done right, including tools and materials used, time-saving strategies, and lessons learned along the way. Whether you're a DIY enthusiast or just curious about the barndo building process, you'll find plenty of inspiration and practical advice in this video.
