/diy/ - Do It Yourself

[Anonymous No.1889102]

I'm looking for new house construction advise.
For the past 14 months I've been looking on and off to buy a house for myself. My budget is 350k. So far I realized that most houses in that price range not too far from work are crappy, and taxes are too high.
So for the last 4 months Ive been looking out of state. For the same amount I get a much bigger/better house with low property tax, big ass lawn, and the single most important thing to me, a 2.5 or bigger car garage. I wrench. I need a nice garage.
I have not been able to find anything I like. Stuff I found that seemed too expensive for what it is gets sold in 2 days. Im sick of driving an hour out 2 or 3 times per week to look at a home that gets sold before I can even think about them more. Doesnt help that 98% of ads do not have any pictures of the garage.
Ive been thinking. Is it better to buy land, and build a house? Timber frame if dooable. 3 bedrooms. 2 stories with a full basement. attached or detached garage. finishing and furnitureing. What am I looking at? Besides buying the land, demolition, getting documents, that aside. I have 230k saved up. my folks might help and gift me 40k.
anyone here bought a tearmedown and build something nice for under 400k?
how can I get in on new developed land and stake my claim?
avoid hoa
this will be around Kenosha, WI. I work near Chicago. Yep, I know.

The housing market is going to crash at the end of the year or the beginning of next year. Can you wait until then?

[Anonymous No.1889293]

>>1889224

I WISH it was going to crash. I'm an underwriter and I would bet my next year's salary that housing is going to boom in the next 5 years beyond 2000-2007. The Fed knows it basically can't raise interest rates past 3.3 for the next 5 years without putting the Zoomers on their ass and pricing the millennials out of the oncoming dead boomer market tsunmai (we're already seeing it- parents die, and their kids make 400% on their parent's 2002-built house in a matter of days.) The banks own every single politician local and federal, and they are the ones paying the news sites to publish stories about how low interest rates are and how you need to take advantage. The 2008 regulations will prevent 2008 from happening again, at least in the areas of the country that matter (northeast, southwest, and west coast - nobody cares about flyover country.)

I saved my money to buy a house. i dont need a 30 year loan for $2k a month + property tax and other bills. after my downpayment I'm going to take a 15 year loan under 3% i'll have a monthly payment of around $500. all the extra money i'll be saving by not paying 2k+ worth of rent is going straight back into the bank till I accumulate enough to start making large improvements like a new deck, or a new garage.

China and Israel are working in tandem to destroy America and suck her blood dry like the kikes did to Germany between WWI and WWII. Then they can follow through with their new silk road plans with Jerusalem at the center of the world. They'll probably keep us afloat long enough to destroy Iran and then help China sink our Navy and finish turning USA into Brazil 2.0

They may raise up another Hitler to force the diaspora kikes to flee to Israel. And use China to deliver the final blow that destroys the greatest white nation to ever have existed. In 200 years the Jews have managed to turn Russia and China into mindless slaves to the state, and Europe and America into mindless nigrafied debt slaves hooked on Pedowood brainwashing.

They truly are vile, disgusting Antichrist vermin who are cursed by God and a cancer to any society that harbors them. The fucking Palestinians offered them refuge with open arms when Hitler came to power, and the Jews repaid them by treating them as subhuman animals and stealing their nation out from under them.

It is unreal how despicable Kikes truly are.

[Anonymous No.1890878]

Absolutely. This one is worse.
in 2008, banks fucked up, but it was primarily a financial aka banking crisis. Part of the crisis was caused by people whose income didn't support their mortgage payments. But only part. The problem was the financial system's risk taking. The solution to a banking crisis is to prop up the banks.
This is an income crisis. The root of the crisis is people not making money. The solution is to give people more money. But the retards in charge can't figure that out, at least in the US. If people don't have money, they can't buy new houses or pay mortgages. You can send mortgage rates negative, but people don't have money to afford the payments.

if a seller needs to sell, you are doing them a favor. They need to get rid of the mortgage. I'm not even justifying some neo-liberal fantasy here. If I needed to sell my house, I would want it sold ASAP. I do not want to make one single more mortgage payment, i dont want to have to lower my price, etc. Like fuck the system, the banks, etc, but the reality is that transaction has to go through.

Timing the market is impossible.
Tight now people are propped up by the new crisis laws like mortgage and eviction moratoriums That's freezing the market which is just delaying the inevitable.
Pay attention to the kinds of laws which get passed. When the propping up of mortgage holders / renters stops, the process will start.
If Trump wins, expect something with in the first half of next year. He'll pull the rug out from under people.
If Biden wins and the Dems take the house, they might enact a New Deal to employ people, which would possibly reverse the process. But that's going to be very hard.
Just remember that this crisis is about dollars in people's pockets. When things change, ask how that's going to put actual dollars in people's pockets. Real dollars. Not keep them in their homes temporarily, but put actual real dollars in their pockets.
the longer that takes, the more savings people will be using up, and hte more selling will become attractive.
The harder it is to pass a real New Deal type reform, the longer it will take, etc.

Now could be good, things could change in a number of ways to stabilize the situation. It's really hard to know when.
More specifically, we are in a crisis _right now_. There could be areas where prices are tanking, it depends on the region and the economics in that region.
Like SF is getting crushed because it was already too high, and the people who work there can work remotely now. And who the fuck wants to live in a pile of human feces anyways. But the prices are still not really sane, they are just down, so it's hard to call it a good deal.
Start looking at home sales in an area you want to buy, see if you can get data on what it was like pre 2008, post 2008 till 2019, and from 2019 to now, and the past 3 months.

I've been building houses for 20 years so take it for what you will but I'll give you my advice and experience since you've asked.
If you can buy the land and pay it off you'll be able to get some pretty cheap money at the bank using it as collateral. Then build what you want how you want and have it new and how you want it. Build it simple as possible with keeping in mind future additions and making it easy to add on to. With the land paid for you can get some pretty cheap money though so my advice is to build one.
Here's the important part that is my profession and I can't stress it enough. DO NOT HIRE THE CHEAPEST FRAMER. HIRE THE DAMN BEST!! Everyone and I mean everyone will work with whatever they leave you and you can't make chicken salad with chicken shit. HIRE a good contractor who you can talk to his last 3 recent clients and see some past success. USE THE BEST FRAMER YOU CAN FIND AND PAY HIM HIS RATE.
You will want to over do everything! Every time you have to make a choice you'll wanna do it to the max but try not to. That's why I suggest keeping it simple and minimal with the intention of adding on with ease bc you planned ahead.
You'll start by over doing the sqft, then pouring extra thick footers, then using all #1 premium lumber, then buying the best synthetic felt paper available to put under shingles, then the best available shingles, then the best siding, and so on and so forth. You see what I'm saying. Then by time you're buying bathroom fixtures, countertops, electrical fixtures you know the most expensive and honestly important materials you'll be strapped. That's why I'd build a minimum sq.ft now and finish it with cash to spare. Do that successfully and when you go to conveniently add-on bc you planned ahead you'll be a damn pro at it.

ICF is a bad idea. Foam off-gasses some very nasty stuff, and it burns very well. If a fire starts outside, it burns up to the roof and then back down. If it starts inside, it produces toxic gas and burns very fast.

Steel-reinforced poured concrete doesn't last long, only about 50 years. Not worth it in the long run.

If you're in a seismically inactive area (no earthquakes beyond maybe a 3.5 once every decade or so), go with steel-reinforced cinderblocks. If you're anywhere with serious earthquakes, stick with stick framing but use 6 or 8 inch wide instead of 4 inch wides - more insulation value, tougher house, fewer sticks needed. A modernized log cabin house is good anywhere, at least for the first floor with stick frame above that.

Your best bet right now is to buy a few acres of land - 4 to 40 - in the next couple years and sit on it for a few more years. Throw a decent trailer down, get a well dug, get electricity. Then decide what you want to do house-wise.

My plan is to do above, buy or cut a bunch of green timber, and let it season for a year. After a year, I build a house. First floor is log cabin style, second floor is cantilevered over it, a lean-to shed next to it for luxurious combination bathrooms/sauna/steamroom and another for my 12 x 20 foot kitchen and lounge. Since I'm building it myself with inexpensive materials, I can splurge.

Don't forget tornadoes, wildfires, and floods.

Tornadoes: log-cabin or steel-reinforced ciderblocks, keep the windows relatively small, no thick trees as big as your house within 30 feet, have a basement or at least a storm shelter. Wouldn't hurt to build some stone walls or dirt berms around your property, might deflect wind a bit.

Wildfires: steel roof, no synthetic paints or significant plastics anywhere on or around the house. Follow your state regulations regarding trees close to buildings. Build walls - stone or cinderblock about 20 feet around the house to keep the worst of the heat out...

[Anonymous No.1893977]

... and use light-colored lime-based paints and plasters to reflect heat and as additional fire-proofing. Put shutters - wooded painted white, or steel hurricane shutters - on your windows; leaving windows uncovered turns your house into an oven.

Floods: don't build in a flood plain, simple as. If you do, pay some guy to dump 30 feet of trashed bricks, stone, and soil on the area where you want to build your house. Consider building your house on stilts too, as they do in Louisiana.

You can do a lot of shit yourself just by taking classes as your local community college, but it won't be done quick without a lot of practice. If your time is worthless to you or you want to learn, that's fine. If not, defer to the experts and expect to get what you pay for.

Some advice for you, my friend.

If you build a house, you are going to have to swallow a few red pills first. You aren't going to get exactly what you think you want and it's going to take some experience before you know what you really want.

Construction companies are in the business of making money these days, laborers are less skilled than in times past and practices aren't the same as they used to be. Not only that, you are probably ignorant of construction practices as well as what you actually want; you won't know exactly what you want (or how to get it from a home builder) until you've built at least one or two houses.

The house will look amazing when it's built, but it will not age very well compared to older homes. Houses built today generally are not sturdier, won't last as long and the quality of craftsmanship is lower than houses of yesterday. We don't have the same wood or skilled labor anymore.

That being said, I highly recommend that you pay a little more money for better framers, higher quality framing wood, thicker, higher quality subfloor and such. If you're gonna skimp on anything, skimp on something that is easily replaceable like trim and amenities. Have them put in the infrastructure for high-end amenities, but leave it out until you can afford it.

Shitty framing/framing wood has gotta be the biggest problem in most of the houses I've worked on. Good framers are in high demand, though, so you might have to wait for them, but it'll be worth it in the end. A lot of times homes are built with an OSB subfloor that's going twist and bend A LOT over time. Pay a little more for some good, thick plywood instead. Work with your builder so they know what to prioritize and make your presence known on the job site, aka introduce yourself to the subs snd shoot the shit with them for a bit. When workers know who you are and see you frequently, they're likely to do a better job.

This is as good a thread as any for my question. I've been envisioning an ideal house for me and I think it's a single floor ranch house on a south facing hill/mountain where the south facing wall is all sliding glass patio door. Maybe there is a high back porch (utilizing ground slope), maybe not. The house essentially just looks like a long rectangle from the top, where the length goes east/west

My disorganized thoughts are:
- full floor heating and AC ports in the ceiling of a short (8'-10') roof - must be ideal for efficient hvac right?
- I figure the full wall of patio doors is possible if there's beams in between each 4 panel section. does that sound right? how thin of a beam could I get away with?
- How much more expensive is it to lay a special foundation into the sloped side of a mountain compared to a flat pad foundation?
- could a cantilevered porch be possible without massive expense? I'm imagining just long joists sticking out past the wall
- If the house is a candy bar let's say 1/3 of the candy bar is rooms and the remaining 2/3 is open floor plan. How wide can the house be before having to put posts in that big 2/3 open section?
- Is it smart to have a basement? I'm envisioning a long house so maybe a basement under like 1/4 of it? How much more in cost could I expect that to add to the foundation?

Hey look that third world faggot is here. Clearly a house with moisture issues. If moisture wasn't getting between the OSB and the paper that would not have happened

OSB doesn't burn as easily as you think. It does, however, burn quite hot

Makes infinitely more sense than anything in this thread so far.

Nothing you said made sense. Moisture was clearly making its way behind the siding or the homeowner was permanently running a humidifier to keep his house at 80% humidity for mold issues that advanced. Clearly an outlier

how can it be acceptable than any of that causes permanent structural damage to the house?

Stop blaming OSB, it is Tyvek or whatever membrane they tried to apply. Plywood would rot just exactly the same. Hell, even shiplap (structural) would rot too, if it was covered with vapor retardant on one side, and vapor barrier on the other

Who cares, would living in any stone building be any healthier if it were that damp? OSB is easy to replace if you are in the .01% freak cases where something like that happens

Can happen, but then again, you pay an acceptable amount (which could have been lower if you bought after the crash, but still it's way lower than renting)
Unless you sell in the crisis, you don't even have to notice it happened.
If you do sell in the crisis, it's probably to buy a bigger house.
>The bigger house also lowered in value
So really, the only time it is a problem, is when you sell your house to buy nothing in return, in which case you'd still better off than renting....

but the wood thing is not a chimney at all this house probably has a gas boiler using a thin aluminium vent.
>its just fake

This is a brick chimney you either get it insulated or double walled where the fresh air gets warmed up from the exhaust.
that gets the last bit of energy out of the exhaust and it does not create a lower pressure in you're house which sucks cold air through all cracks

>If you're gonna skimp on anything, skimp on something that is easily replaceable like trim and amenities. Have them put in the infrastructure for high-end amenities, but leave it out until you can afford it.

Yeah, this is solid advice. It won't save you buko bucks unless you include flooring and wall finishes, but it will certainly bring you down from the top of your budget.
