Building an AMAZING tiny home FAST! #cheap #fast #tinyhouse

What happens here

After the main beams are in place, additional floor joists are installed between the main beams, forming a grid pattern. These joists will support the subfloor and are crucial for the structural integrity of the platform. The video also shows the addition of white insulation material and vapor barrier within the joist bays to prevent moisture and help maintain temperature, which is essential for the yurt's climate control.

Goal: Complete the floor framing and add insulation for thermal regulation.

going to add another layer of expense to this project because when we build it up off from the ground we've still got to insulate that bottom floor span and that's what you're going to see us doing is building a false cavity and filling that full of insulation now in the next video I'm going to get more into the expense of a yurt versus a tiny home but I don't want to leave you guys hanging a typical yurt build like we're doing here costs anywhere from 14 to 24 000 for the yurt frame itself the roof the covering and the structure but the decking that you've seen us building in today's video costed an additional seven to nine thousand dollars for all of the material and labor involved to get the deck where it's at when you add the yurt frame with the yurt decking we're still under 40 fifty thousand dollars and that adds up to a four and that gives you 459 square feet inside of the yurt with a 12 foot ceiling so a lot of people buy into these small homes hoping to have a small budget but really they're paying the same price per square foot as you would typical construction with a yurt you can get by for less than half of that and still have what feels like a lot of space and in fact in the next video coming down the pipeline I'm going to actually walk you through the yurt construction how they get built they're insulated and the key components to look for when you're buying a yurt so make sure you hit that subscribe button and make sure you come back because we're going to take you through the rest of this process one right after the other but I hope you enjoyed today's ride and we'll catch you guys on another one God bless go get em you guys
