Formally "WTFarm Girl" (What the Farm Girl), this channel has transitioned into a family vlogging channel called " This Life We Live " where we are documenting our DREAM home build, Christmas Tree Farm and all around life on our First Generation Family Farm!
Join us as we race a two year deadline to build our DREAM Home: a modern-style barndominium with a shed style roof while also working full time and farming!
But the BIG LOOMING question is, WILL the kitchen from the $2,000,000 house FIT our design . . . or will it be a total BUST?!
Our stick-built barndo is on a basement since tornados are common here in Michigan. We have built a special safe-room in our house JUST for that!
One of our most exciting design ideas is the faux wood metal siding which will become a hot new home design trend of 2025!

Video #15: Got GREEDY And Doubled Our House Size.
WHAT A DIFFERENCE. It went from modest to HOLY COW WHAT HAPPENED . . .
How to build a garage start to finish! The crew gets to work leveling out the base, then pouring the concrete. They even added in floor drains into the garage so any SNOW, RAIN or deer %$#*&% drains off and away quite quickly!
But the SIZE though . . . will it be BIGGER than our house?! Really, what WERE we thinking here?
This barndo is now a barn-OH . . .

Welcome to This Life We Live ( This 1 Life We Live ) formerly the WTFarm Girl channel.
Subscribe and follow along as we build our DREAM HOME after 10 long years of saving and waiting! It's a barndominium house plan with a shed style roof. It's a barndominium hybrid, so it's stick-built and on a basement because here in Michigan we get a LOT of tornadoes!
We'd LOVE to build it fully from the ground up, but sadly our local township only allowed us TWO YEARS to fully complete our home, so it's a race against time to try to get everything done BOTH with professional help AND on our own!
Building half of it on our own allows us a MASSIVE savings with our budget and makes this unique home design actually affordable!
We started with a low cost floor plan, to make this an affordable barndominium and learned how to save money on a house build.
We have some fantastic ways to save money on a new house and easy DIY home design tips!
This is going to be the coolest house on CZcams by the time it's complete!
If you have suggestions or ideas, we'd love to hear them!

How do you determine how much you should sell a product for, and are there any regulations to control what prices you're allowed to set?

😁 WoW its so much bigger . You might be feeding it too much .😆 Fantastic build.. your gonna love it. great video Thanks
LOL, Just Add Water!
Great progress. Both You and Erik should wear safety glasses at all times when using powered tools. I hope the baler and swather will fit in the garage. Make one door a few feet wider?
The baler goes in the barn over winter, but we plan to add a barn shed to the existing slab to store equipment too ;)
Not certain why you are spending time building the garage when the house doesn't have a roof and there is no tyvek covering the OSB walls? Wet weather is coming and I would have thought you would get the house enclosed before starting the garage.
The garage has the same roof/trusses as the house. So they are going to sheet it all at the same time.
You'll see, don't worry :) This is part of what makes it a barndominium :)
Great video Suzanne!
Glad you liked it!
Suzanne , opening scene, always measure full length of what you need, not what you're cutting off, if you assume the wood is the right length, you'll eventually get bit.
Oh yes, I'm not sure what I was measuring in the opening scene unless I needed that small bit, but the wood IS all different lengths so we do measure what we need :) But I can't honestly remember one day to the next, stuff flies so fast around here shooting video is a blur, hahaha
That was fun to watch. Can't wait to see the final results. Happy subscriber 😊
Good to see you Chris!
Huge garage for hay bale storage?
Cats . . . I'm going to build a loft and fill it with CATS :D :D
it will cost you a million dollars to finish a house that big
It's kind of an Alice in WOnderland house . . . things are never as they seem, lol. It SEEMS like it would be very expensive from the outside but it's a very simple house plan and won't take much $$ to finish off.
*Kia ora (hello) Wow it's all moving along quite quickly now... Once the trusses are up and then the roof & the builders/roofers having a roof party when the roof is done. They put up a flag when the roof is completed to say partytime..... then put in windows/doors and the outside walls... it will be all closed in... for the electricians and plumbers etc to do their mahi (work). 🙂nz*
You got it! And that's pretty much how it all played out too, hahaha!
Yal have monster wall height for sure . Good video yal stay safe
It looks massive when it's empty, that's for sure!
Well they clearly don't use OSHA regulations lol
LOL
After you build a house, you realize what you would do different. That's a huge garage, but it will fill up fast.
Ugh! I have heard! I'm really hoping that will be on a limited bases with this build . . . we've changed sooo many things while planning this JUST so we don't have to deal with the 'I wish we would have..."
My Challenger was supposed to go alonge the back wall. Not anymore I had to sell it to help pay for the new house.
@@ruralridez6165 that's tough. I hope you can get over it. I still miss my 72 Duster after fifty years. You could turn it into a man cave with all the room.
Did you guys decide how you're going to heat your new home? What sort of insulation type are you going with?
Open to suggestions! We've talked to 2 hvac guys and a fireplace store. Fireplace store suggested a pellet stove to heat 4000sqft, and Hvac recommended a furnace along with a heat pump . . . to pass code you need at least a furnace . . . We love the idea of wood heat (we have it), but the chimney is the killer with the tall roof . . . Insilation will be open cell in the roof deck and MAYBE the sidewalls too, or blow in in the walls...
@@This1LifeWeLive What do other barndos in your type of climate do?
@@cancelbubble6535 there are 3 going up right now, similar to ours,but I think ours is the only 2.5 story one.. most do furnace (code) and pellet stove..
I was thinking you could put a loft in the garage also with a set of steps by the wall. Then Eric could have his own man cave or hobby room up above and use that space.
That had been the original idea..
Check local building codes FIRST, plan it later...
Suzanne the house is coming together nicely. Take care and have a blessed and safe week and I'll see you on your next video
Thanks Billy!
What's your plans on heating and cooling ?? Wow,,,, that's a lot of open space...js

@@This1LifeWeLive heat pumps for sure,,,a lot depends on your insulation choices,,,windows,,,doors,,,walls,,,,under floor heating with a couple forst air units,,,plenty of filters,,,,,I'm no expert,,,but I did stay at a cheap as hotel last night...dig n the new channel...that's a tone of stress,,,chin up you guys,,,stick to your dreams.
Definitely need a fire place...or an old big pot belly stove ?? Make it a focal point? Black pipe all the way out the top...unless it's not exposed??
@@This1LifeWeLive,,personally speaking of course,,,,I recommend not including the garage to the homes hvac,,,block the garage off as much as possible,,keep the fumes out of the living space...a couple cheap little heaters on the ceiling ,maybe a window air conditioner?? Save money as well..
We do have a nice spot in the corner we can add a woodstove if we want, the BIG issue with a fireplace OR woodstove is the chimney. The chimney stack would cost more than the actual stove :(
Your going to start making your maple syrup to pay for it. Lol
That will come with the workshop garage :D
Should have went out another 10 feet to have 4 vehicles and other typical items in a garage.. 10 feet two the right .
The original plan called for a 3 car garage, we cleared one garage bay into a bedroom and shifted the whole plan :) Since we went extra deep, we do technically have space to fit 4 vehicles in there, just maybe not with two big trucks, lol
That was the plan but we had to cut back to stay on budget. I plan to build a workshop garage on the double wide slab once it's removed.
House is looking great 👍🏽 once the trusses go up it will get lot better. 👍🏽
Fully agree!
Please tie your hair back all you need is a breeze come by and you hair will be suck in to the saw. 🤕
Great suggestion. The chop saw has a face guard that should prevent this . 😊
haha, you know I actually DO need to now because Erik added a VACUUM attachments to suck up all the sawdust as you cut . . . and likely hair too! I usually keep a hair band on my wrist for such times but couldn't figure out where it had gone to from the day before :(
Nobody listens!
Never let people have this kind of power over you
The house building is coming along great 👍💯. Love the design of it. It seems that you and Eric appreciate the simple things in life , which is great.
hello your son Earen were friends he tell me your youtube channel i love it
Hi Jacob, nice to meet you :)
@@This1LifeWeLive nice to meet you too
I really gotta get caught up on videos. Looks like good progress on the house. Hope you guys are getting rain. I am in severe draught conditions here in northern ky. There will be no second cutting of hay. Not enough tomatoes to make sauce. Yields will be way down on corn. Pumpkins will be smaller this year despite my watering efforts. Eh one of those years.
That's very sad to hear :( I feel like when it rains, we get a pouring and then nothing for a while. Ponds are all drying up, and no rain forecast for at least a good 10 days. I don't think we are as bad as what you are experiencing though :( prayers for rain!
Dude, I completely forgot he died 😂 That dude was the most gangster farmer that’s ever existed hats off 2 Andy! 🇺🇸
Where in Michigan is this i was born in Farmington Hills and still have family in Brighton and Milford.
Just north of Grand Rapids :)
You need to expand subjects covered by your channel with Bigfoot, UFO’s and aliens. 🤪 I have ideas for about 6 videos except for one I need to get permission to perform the song Dualling Banjos and I would need to learn how to play it. Another video I need to record tells about my dad turning on the side unloading manure spreader on the neighbors house in the 1960’s. The neighbor was a bleep bleep and kept giving my parents the middle finger salute with both hands after they switched to a different guy to haul our milk.
You could do your own version of the song, something similar but different . . . that's really what it is anyway :)
Great stuff Suzanne, Thank You👍🙏🙏😎
*Kia ora (hello) Suzanne 🙂 I think it is so crazy the rule/law about having to build it within 2 years... when they originally want it to be 3 months. Do they not want to see quality homes in their area other than trailer homes... or it is the typical old boys club where they are the only ones with the nice homes built in their little town that they control? Homes can be built within a certain time frame, but that does depend on weather conditions and also whether all products are available especially after Covid times, when factories were shut and these were and are still hard to get world wide. But good on you & Eric taking on your council and winning the battle 🙂 Now get back to work and film & edit them builders putting up more walls and the roof. 🙂nz*
I think it's just being legalistic, and reading the laws as they were written for folks 75 years ago, back when you COULD probably build a whole house in 3 months AND they had lees requirements for how to do it ;) Now their "big fear" is someone RENTING the old house out . . . heaven forbid! And then everyone complains that farmers sell land to developers, but how ELSE are people going to find a place to live?
@@This1LifeWeLive *Yeah people need homes to live in... but council's also need to keep up with the times... You & Eric put forward a good case to overturn that ruling... this will now help others in your area for the future home owners 🙂.*
Hi Sue.............always like your videos....Bye 👍👍😍😍
How can a town limit the time you have to build?
I didn't realize that was a "thing" either until we went to apply for our building permit and they told us that because we had a house on the property already (a trailer) we couldn't put a new one there without a waiver, and that waiver was good for 3 months. SO, if our house burned DOWN and we HAD to build a new one, we'd STILL only get 3 months. BUT Joe a mile down the road can take as long as he wants to build on his vacant land . . . I don't know WHY they created that law, it's absurd. So we had to get a specialized waiver that set a NEW limit, and cost us $2500 for the permit instead of $300.
@@This1LifeWeLive I’m in rural-ish Texas and I don’t need any permits for anything.
@@This1LifeWeLive I’m sorry, except septic. That is a fee of some sort. Other than that they leave me alone.

Think I would have built it in 2 pieces but they got it stood
no regulation on hay farmers, I often have to buy bales advertised as 70lbs bales, but are only about 40-45lbs, 11$ a bale. They won’t let you load your own hay bale by bale, they insist on putting them in the back of your truck with a grappler-so dishonest
It can be that way anywhere. You go to the local butcher and don't weight your meat . . . they could be selling you a 3lb roast for the price of a 5lb roast. But with the hay, once they get one grapple load on your trailer, you can legally insist to touch it and pick it up. If you feel it's too light have them unload it back off. To be fair, hay DOES lose a decent amount of moisture once baled. I've baled 55lb bales that dry down to 45lbs, if its been sitting a while that's a possibility. It's also possible the first load they picked up did weight 75lbs, and they didn't realize the later loads did not. At the end of the day, you can go elsewhere. Our feedmill had baled a bunch of sticks and leaves, calling it hay, and charged $9 for each bale. I never went back there again.
@@This1LifeWeLive very true, moisture content loss, but not half the weight they advertise, going somewhere else doesn’t address the problem unfortunately, it is more than one farmer; many have done this to me. Quality is a whole other topic like you address, there is a learning curve I have found with buying the right hay for my horses and sheep over the years. When I was a kid I never heard my parents complain about bad hay this way, not saying it didn’t happen but I don’t ever remember it. I have finally found a farmer that really takes pride in his product (will not be fooled by “stored right”, you can store shitty hay all day and winter long in a nice covered barn, it is still shitty hay) and “will load” (see above ha ha) again). It is very very difficult for me to get his bales up in my rafters, and I love that back-breaking work 😊
@@This1LifeWeLiveBTW I LOVE this video, will watch others, you are so knowledgeable, really appreciate your wisdom!
interesting design, wonder what roof truss will be used.
The roof is known as a "warm roof" (according to what I'm told), so there is no venting like a normal roof. This is going to use parallel cord trusses to maintain an even roofline front to back :) They look VERY similar to our floor trusses :D
That size of house is only 2 bedroom. You will still have alot of unused space that you can't even use.
No thing on the main floor has been framed in yet. The loft was framed in because it's 2 story, and that's how they are erected :) It WILL still be just two bedrooms on the main floor, but you'll see how it all plays out as it continues to take shape :)
I’m paying close attention!👩🎨
I will send you an updated e-mail :D
