Thank you so much!
Hi Tim and Jen, can’t wait until you get started with the build and Jen you keep your input in there😉. It is a very nice property, very scienic. Take care guys, have fun. 👍👍❤️❤️🇨🇦
Yes! Need her input
Hello Tim &. Jen! Oh my I can't wait to see it all start
Finally got to watch this one ! Thanks for taking us along to see all the plans! I’m so happy for you and excited to see how the Lord continues to bless you! When you go on your trip take Wesson with you can ! Stay safe and alert ! Will pray for protection for you both!
Oh maybe use Sliding barn doors for the bathrooms and closet that would save room.
Thank you will do!
Have a good one,God Bless!!!❤😊
You too!!
I suggest putting the fire place on the dining/closet wall between the dining area and living room area, so that you can sliding glass doors on the back wall so you can see out over the ridge, just like you are talking about putting sliding doors in your bedroom. You are going to want that view from the dining , living, and kitchen areas.
Possibly. Thanks!
I think she’s the only star of the show
Don't forget about Elvis!!!
It's a beautiful place to build! I'm happy for you both ☺️
Thank you!! 😊
So exciting. Good luck. Looking forward to the build👍🥰🇺🇸
Me too!
Look great
Thanks!
Love the area on the Ridge and your barndominium plans. If it were me, I would flip the guest bedroom and the kitchen. This would open up your living area and give you access to the back porch directly from your kitchen. Especially if you replace the kitchen window for a nice french door. It would also give your guests privacy from the living area. The other thing I would do is use pocket doors on the closet and bathroom in the master and the guest closet. It eliminates the space needed for the door swing giving you more useable space.
Thanks!
Nice to see where you will build your home . Thx Jennifer and Tim .😊💕
More to come!
@@RidgeLife I can’t wait , but I guess I will need to lol
@carolynmesser7199 haha! Yes all in due time

Very Nice Can’t wait to see it all happen Have a Blessed Week Tim & Jen
Thank you very much!

Thanks!
Tim, I don't know JenJen personally but from what I've seen you definitely have a winner. Sometimes something has to end before new life begins. I love her and you too. No David didn't tell me to say this. 😆
Awww thanks!
looks good
Thanks!
It's going to be beautiful Tim Best of building luck
Thanks!
Maybe you could consider pocket or barn doors to give additional space. Especially in closets.
I was just going to comment along the lines of that idea.
Yes very possible!
I absolutely love floor plans!! I’m going to be cheeky here and suggest some options, if you don’t mind. I would suggest double glass sliding doors to the large front patio, given the beautiful views. Definitely wood fire in the corner of lounge. Pocket door to the walk-in closet, maximises floor space. Ensuite definitely must have twin vanities and twin mirrored wall cabinets. Under each vanity 3 drawers all deep soft close. The laundry could also work as a mud room so an exterior door would be wise. Using pocket doors for ensuite also maximises floor space. It’s going to be a beautiful build and I’m so excited for both of you. Nothing like starting at grass roots level together ❤❤ I live in a small country town and also have 2 large gas bottles for cooking and rain water tanks for all water. We have a lot of rain to capture. Only mains electricity combined with solar panels feeding back to the grid. Very economical living and needless to say clean fresh air! I love it. Love and hugs to you both.
Great ideas! Lots to think about. Thx
Love this so much good luck remember to buy a another tarp
Haha! Will do.
*Looks good brother. It's going to be a fun project!*
Thanks!
Along with all other suggestions- I suggest you move the door opening to the bathroom to the guest bedroom, only so it won’t open into the dining room, walk in guest room, put on left. Just a thing with me personally that I don’t want the bathroom smells where you eat
Thanks for input.
If you want to save space with the bathroom and closet doors, you might consider either pocket doors or in keeping with the barn theme sliding barn doors that ride on rails above the door.
Good call.
Plan looks pretty good, I've really begun to love the idea of a barndominium. I would move the utility/laundry to the guest side of the house to create a bigger master suite. It would give way to have a double sink in the ensuite and a larger walk in closet and possibly a double shower. Shrink the guest room by a couple of feet and have the washer and dryer and freezer off the kitchen, easier access to the freezer from the kitchen. I would also get rid of the single door and single window at the back by the living room and put a double door with glass on both sides to make that room feel like you are basically outside. You could do the same at the front door as well just to brighten it up. Just some thoughts
Very possible. Thanks!
Hi Tim, Suggest that you put the swap the master bath and the master closet so that you don't have any plumbing on the outside wall.
Plumbing will be through floor but must have access via interior wall. Will verify. Thx.
Hey Tim, you should put the fireplace in the middel of the room with something like a Lacunza Nickel Double Sided Stove
Ooh Nice!
Hey Tim plans look great; I only have a couple of suggestions based on my experience in building for over 40 plus years. #1 I would consider finding a way to shift the master bath wall back towards the laundry room so you have room for a double vanity with two sinks, you know one for you and one for Jen. #2 I would dig down and have a half sunken crawl space with six-foot side walls and at least a gravel pad. For one thing it will give you extra storage space for things you only bring out a couple of time a year like holiday stuff and it also makes it so when you are under the house you can stand up to access all your plumbing and electrical. Its minimal cost of square footage when you are already doing the same work but just making the wall a little taller.
Good points. Thanks!
Tim I would do a smaller closet in the guest room and a bigger pantry for the kitchen. Plans look great though.
Thanks!
Tim, pocket doors or barn doors for your closets and bath areas to free up for more clearings
Very true!
Hi both of you
Howdy!
Hi guys ,exciting times with the barndominium sneak peak . I'm wondering have you considered barn doors (sliding) or pocket doors for any areas where space is an issue ?
Yes for sure. Will see what architect says Monday!
Just an idea: You may want to flip the masterbath. Then, all the plumbing will be on the interior wall. If anything needs to be fixed, you can do it from the closet side. No ripping up the shower wall. Also, what about the sink on the island? Plumbing through the floor, not the exterior wall? Nice farm style range hood on the exterior wall over the gas range.
No plumbing will be on exterior walls just floors and interior walls. Thx
Suggest you make more work space in kitchen. Need room to work. Think about how you prepare dinner, you will lose one of the little spaces for the coffee pot/toaster. What about the airfryer? Where are you going to cut vegetables/mix and make something as simple as brownies///where can you work? Also maybe sliding door for closets to save room.
Thank you! This is actually a very large kitchen for a 1600ft2 house.
I would suggest pocket doors or sliding barn doors for the bathrooms and closets. Saves space.
Very possible!
Loved the walk about!! Your drone is amazing. Great video brother ✌️💚
Thank you sister!
sliding barn doors in the bedrooms save space and looks rustic.
Nice.
Howdy JenTim
Howdy!
Maybe think about pocket doors for bedroom and bathroom. I had them and saved a lot of room.
Thanks!
Another idea double see thru fire place
Nice!
I would make the washer/dryer area also a mud room with a door going outside.
Nice.
Hey Tim and Jen!👋🏼 Plans look amazing as well as the walk through of the land!!!🙌🏼👏🏼 Tim, are you going to be using well water? I was gonna look on our employee site at the water heaters and see what kinda deal I can get for the thankless propane water heaters we make here at A.O. Smith in Ashland City, TN. Let me know and I’ll try and hook ya up 🙏🏼
Yes well water. Sweet! do they make heat pump/propane combo units?
I will check and let ya know. I’ll shoot you an email with the info
❤️👍🙋♂️
Howdy!
Going to be great I'm following because I need something on my land just don't know how to go about it thanks for the video.
My pleasure!
Tim 👋
Howdy!
I like the layout. My concern would be the placement of the guest or main bathroom door being right at the dining and living area.
Thanks for feedback
Tim I would have double windows in bed rms. looking out back. No slider in Master bed rm. You need at least one linen closet to store towels, sheets and blankets. I would take some square ft. off bed rm. 2 to have main bath rm. and closet in bed rm. 2 bigger. I am so excited for you and looking forward to seeing your dream home.
Thanks! I may make a bathroom closet that takes corner behind door in master closet.
@@RidgeLife Keep back door where it is. If you move the back door to middle of the room it will mess up furniture placement. I am so excited for you. Great house plans.
@@TAMMYRICHMOND-ll8xb thanks so much!
Center the door for master closet. Then you can walk behind the door and make a little closet for bathroom behind bathroom door
Very true.
Beautiful overhead video, love you both...❤
Glad you enjoyed it
Save space on the closet and bathroom doors use the sliding barn door method looks like there’s room in both rooms
Possibly Thanks!
great walk about tim and jen enjoyed ❤❤❤
Thanks!
Hello their tim & jen 👋
Howdy!
Hey, I was wondering, I'm a friend of David's and dripping dreamers. I was just gonna let you know about. Maybe look for a guy that has a bottle 0 for 4 shoe monster connection on it. Declare some of your land to make room for your barn menu
Sorry. Don’t quite follow. Thx!
barn door slider on the closet!
Nice!
🇳🇴👍👍
Howdy
you build it I will come a hunting 😆
HAHA!
hiya dreams to reality when lol after dozer vidoes
Howdy! Soon!
Looking good Tim. The only thing I would point out is to keep in mind symmetry of the posts in the great room. In barns, the posts are across from each other.
Yes! Architect will get me worked out.
What a beautiful site for your home! Are you sure that master bathroom is going to be enough? I know you have been living small in the crib but for two people you may want to add another sink and just a bit more cabinets. Is there a sink in the laundry room?
Hmm. Good point.
Not sure what your plans are for gardening and canning etc. But if your not planning to build a root cellar I definitely think your pantry needs to be much bigger. And yout gonna want a mudroom so you can strip down and not track dirt and muck through the living space. If you have a larger pantry and put the deep freezer in there next to the kitchen you could put an external door on the laundry room and use it as your mud room and add a utility sink in there also. The quest room can definitely be smaller. I will think on it.
Good ideas.
@@RidgeLife hey Tim I put some thought into it and sent you an email with a couple screenshots of what I worked up. Gave a look. Hope it gets to you before you meet with the architect. Many blessings
I would do a pocket door or a barn door on the bthrms & closets
Thx!
Nice plans but you need double sinks or back to back vanity in master also private toilet. Also no one wants to use bathroom right off dining room,should be 1\2 bath by utility room,lited mirror in master,wide window sills,screened porch and 4 season room pop up phone charger,walk in pantry counter sunk sinks,pull out drawer microwave,black faucets,hinges fans,just some ideas
Very good points but not building a very large house. I am limited space and location.
I would do pocket doors in the closet and bathroom. That doesn't take away space at all.
Thanks!
If you're going more of a conventional heat pump go with Daikin they are one of the best in the business for warranty and efficiency
Thanks!
How about barn doors for closets and bathrooms. Those give you alot of extra room.
Very true!
Great walk around. Question: That other property you briefly talked about, is that your ex’s house? Just curious because it’s kind of close to where your barndo will be. I mean if you’re ok with that, then cool. None of my business. It sounds like Jen is going to be living there??? Is that what I’m hearing? That’s super cool if so. This barndo is going to be stunning! Can’t wait to see it in action. I know you’ll do a fantastic job.
That’s the old barn. The house is a hundred hard further away and down hill.
I’d want less closet in the master & a bigger, double sink vanity in bath
I got ya.
I look to pockets doors that way you don’t loose space and a door in the way.
Yes I may need those.
Tim are you planning on the barn build this summer or start the barndaminium
Barn this winter/spring. Barndo gotta clear land at same time as buidling barn.
On door's they should open out from where you are at inside of the room going out
I’m thanks.
this is just a thought, but why not put two wood stoves in the center, help heat whole barmdominium
Since it’s SIPs construction, it won’t need much!
Put sliding doors in your closet that way it's not taking up space same way with your pantry and laundry room.
Possibly
Electric heat and let Jennifer design.
Gotta be careful with Solar Power and loading.
Love the plan, except I hope you'll rethink having the stove or sink in the island. I dislike mine so much(too many reasons to list).
Thanks! I had one for years and loved the central location in the kitchen. What were some of the negatives?
The island I have now has the sink. I've have hit the handle from the other side and flooded the counter top. When I had stove island took away work space. Had a small grsndson whose ball came flying into my frying pan as I was using it. What a mess.
your front entry is coming straight into the dining room?
Yes. It’s more of a great room. It’s a barndo.
No storage? Where does your linen , ironing and cleaning gear live, . Your need somewhere for all that stuff.😊
Built in cabinets.
well jen got a nice view and tour but we didnt, lol too bad you dont have a side by side!
I do have a side by side! Got a fuel issue to resolve next weekend.
Where are your other bee hives?
Only have two now. Others left of died off.
Ok, comment overload. One question. Why don't you do a single level building? You ain't getting any younger. Think about the future. Arthritis sucks and has made everything change for me. Something to consider. Love y'all ❤️
This is single level. No loft nor stairs.
Beautiful property but I wouldn't want to be so close to my ex or there property but that's just me .
Me neither but limited on location.
Luke 10:1-3 King James Version 10 After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come. 2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. 3 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. Gods blessings over you .
Thank you!
Make sure if you get married again, both of you sign prenuptial agreement. I know Jen is nice and pretty and all that but you should know from your past what can happen.
We both don't want those mistakes!
You need to ask that beautiful young lady to marry you
If you don't someone else surely will
Awww
Someone on the mountain been talkin to the ex-wife
Nope!
You need to move your poor chickens out of that mud do you there feet???
Everywhere is muddy here right now. Sure can't bring them inside! HA!
