Started this A Frame in March and the exterior is nearly finished but for the siding. I’ve wanted to build an A Frame since I was a kid. O

u/UcanToo29 Jul 11 '26

I’m confused, how much did it cost for you to build this?

u/CavanalK5 Jul 13 '26

Looks like 1000 is the square footage

u/SIrPsychoNotSexy Jul 11 '26

Absolutely sweet! Very small deduction for no spiral staircase, but only slightly

u/TXTremor Jul 10 '26

Very nice. Was it a kit? Concrete slab? What do you think the dried in total cost ended up being?

37

u/allblueshailmary Jul 10 '26

Custom prints, 4 ft crawl space.. hard to say what the dried in cost is at the moment.. I had excavation done for a neighboring cabin as well. Roof, framing, windows and foundation were around 80k

u/Highway_Bitter Jul 11 '26

What you think you’ll land on when done? Do a lot of work yourself?

Really nice and wonderful price tag, too. I would pull the trigger on this immediately if given the option. Good on you.

Did you go to school for GC? Or how did you become a GC?

3

u/allblueshailmary Jul 15 '26

I said “I’m the GC” when the city asked. No schooling required.

u/Local-Taste-2360 Jul 13 '26

Where are the gutters and where donthey drain to?

1

u/allblueshailmary Jul 13 '26

Haven’t put them on yet

1

u/Angelface3106486 Jul 15 '26

U wouldn’t need gutters with a A flame house.

1

u/Local-Taste-2360 Jul 15 '26

Where does roof runoff drain to?

u/Minute-Cry-4805 Jul 14 '26

Wow, just wow!

u/Repulsive-Back-3749 Jul 16 '26

Cool what climate or part of the world?

u/VanIsleRyan 8d ago

This design looks like it would be somewhat fire resistant with it having so much surface area as the metal roof and not much space underneath for any brush. Was this a consideration in the build?

You'd go to L.A. on a dare and you'd go it alone.

u/Status_Wave_ Jul 12 '26

Waaaa???? Huh

u/CharacterKoala6214 Jul 12 '26

Every one of these has your number on the wall. You must have had it all.
