All About Our House is a collection of videos that document the planning, building, and living at our new home. Join us and see all the features of our house, property tours, and all the projects we are doing along the way to make this place special.
In 2019 we purchased 6.2 acres and began the planning and design of our unique Barndo-inspired home. We sold our subdivision house in March, and by June 2020 we were breaking ground. Our local builder, T4 Construction, who specializes in Timber Framing, was amazing in helping us include some unique ideas like concrete floors with radiant heat, wood ceilings, 2x6 construction with blown in cellulose insulation, metal roof, custom cabinets by David Hulthen Woodworking, and lots of other innovative components. Much of the finished work inside has been done by us, The Schneider’s...and lots more to do!

Kids Rec Room Project

The Rec Room, or “bonus” room as some might call it is the last large project we have to complete on this house. I’ve wired the room coming off of the electric home runs that our electrician wired into the house previously…11 receptacles and 11 can lights, plus a ceiling fan. I’ve also run Ethernet cables to the soffits on the exterior so that we can add security cameras in the future that tun ...

We are in the finishing stages of getting our baseboards installed. Had to make a decision on whether to miter the inside corners, butt joint them, or use corner blocks. Ultimately we decided that the blocks are the best, and, save a lot of time. Here's some shop time and pictures to give you some ideas on how this turns out.

Wood Burning Stove Fireplace - Osburn Stratford II Zero Clearance Wood Stove
zhlédnutí 29KPřed 3 lety
We absolutely love this fireplace/wood stove. It has the look of a modern fireplace but inside it is actually a very powerful wood stove that cranks out enough heat for us to heat our entire house. Along with our radiant system, this stove is working hard right now as we experience negative temps outside.
Concrete Floors and Radiant Heat

ALL ABOUT SNOW REMOVAL - JOHN DEERE GATOR SNOW PLOW
zhlédnutí 8KPřed 3 lety
It snowed a lot over the past day. Probably 12 inches or so, and the John Deere Gator (2004 HPX Diesel) with KFI Open Trail 72" plow has done great for us. With a toasty heated Curtis Cab, wipers, wireless winch controller, it's actually kind of fun and relaxing to be outdoors, see the snow covering our property, and watching our kids have a ton of fun....the littles (Clara and Cole) have a mat...

Live Edge or Traditional Black Walnut Staircase?
zhlédnutí 323Před 3 lety
I have stacked all the boards and organized them by width and type, now it’s time to decide whether I’m going to do live edge stairs or traditional board stairs… It’s a tough decision because each of them look great. The live edge would go very well in our house, and so would the traditional design. Leave a comment if you think one is better!

How is the fireplace doing so far. What size wood does it take
I recently installed one in a new house and am disappointed. Heated with wood stoves for years but thought insert sounded cool. Virtually no control w damper. Year old, split, dry white oak and will only burn with door cracked open. Close door and open damper full and it burns so slow the glass is black in a couple hours and insert doors stay cool to the touch. Would never do another or recommend one. Get a real stove with better control and real heat.
Did you use the fresh air intake or have it pulling air from inside the room? That could be the difference. The insert I have pulls air through a vent that goes into the crawl space under the house so it doesn't pull air from inside the house. No problem getting the fire to burn hot.
What did you use for the tiles right below the fire? Also, do you have any photos of it installed without the face on? I’m installing mine and trying to figure out if it should be flush with the framing or flush with the concrete board that will support the stone.
Sorry I missed this one. We have a granite hearth is that what you meant? As for photos before…I’ll try to find a few.
Need a better camera angle. Can’t see what you are doing.
That is not how to use table saw
I bought the same generator - I noticed you used the 30 AMP plug instead of the 50 AMP. Also can you send a link for which transfer switch you chose? I can't find it based on the description. Great video. Thanks for sharing!
Are you still happy with the quality of stove. We are considering that exact stove for our forever home as it would match our decor perfectly. We have been warned quality control issues with osbourne and difficult customer service? Any input would be greatly appreciated. thx
Love it! High quality product!
Osburn Stratford II IS NOT A ZERO CLEARANCE WOOD STOVE!!! ...... While it's probably a great stove, but it's not a ZERO CLEARANCE WOOD STOVE. The following is an email I received from it's manufacturer in July 2023. Hello Mr. Mxxxx The Lafayette is not considered a zero clearance fireplace as there are spacers that need to be respected as well as non combustible materials for the first 80 inches in the front are of the fireplace (from the base) and can not just be put into an existing chase as there are many new installation regulations as well as the chimney will need to be replaced by a 2100 degree Class A one. You will need to take down your existing chase facade. Regards Daniel Cxxxxxxx
Did you add the 4 inch fresh air inlet to your fireplace
Yes we sure did
I’m looking into getting a fireplace like yours and just wanted to know if I needed the inlet
@@donniesquires6093 I would say 100% you want it.
Do you guys house rough In pictures how you install it? It’s insert correct?
Yes, it is inserted correctly. Very easy rough in guide provided in manual
Apologies if I missed it. Can you back drag up by the garage? If so, how does it do?
Haven’t really needed to, but I’ll let you know next time I plow
How long will that glass stay clear?
May I ask what the square footage of the area you're heating with it? is it easy to control on milder days? I have an rsf onyx that is rated for 2000 SF, and thinking of downgrading to something a bit smaller.
This heats about 2000, could easily do morep
Do you have to clean out the ashes before a new burn? How much space is in the firebox to contain hot coals?
I usually just scoop a little out from the sides and continue burning. There’s plenty of space for some coals to exist under the fire. All comes down to managing the air intake, type of wood, if you do it right there should not be much after a burn.
@@AllAboutOurHouse Thank you
Best to keep a good amount of ash as it helps insulate and prolong the life of the firebrick. You can also shape it with a scoop to create channels for optimal airflow based on where your cold air intake is. I burn every day and scoop out some ash once every couple weeks.
Nice! I've got an 06' HPX which I've been thinking about adding a plow to. Your videos have been very informative. For the past 30 years I've been using my 1952 AC WD to move the snow. She's about the same age as me and a Beast to handle, but with the huge bucket up front and blade on the back I can get the job done. It looks like the HPX with a plow would work just fine for the most part, it sure would be easier on what's left of my drive. Thanks again for the video!
Thanks so much!!!
On our second full year with the same exact setup . Bought direct through Osburns. Our house is 1175 square ft and it works great with the ceiling fans. Wish we had bought years ago 😎
Copy that , our Tenn weather is turning out to be colder than usual.
@@crooksight I’ve had my Stratford 2 installed for about 2 months now and I’ve struggled with the same problem. This week I think I figured out a solution that’s working for me. I haven’t been burning my fireplace hot enough. If your bricks inside the fireplace have black build up- your prob not burning yours hot enough as well. I found that when I load the wood north south (per the fireplace recommendation), it creates cold pockets on the left and right sides and caused my doors to get really dirty. Try getting your ashes really hot- a good truck I learned is to break the burnt logs up and spread the ashes evenly inside the firebox, and then lay 3 new logs east west. This really changed my opinion of this fireplace and I love it now way more that I don’t have to deal with cleaning black glass every day. Hope it helps and works for you
Wow, a whole three inches of light powdery snow. Sorry Pal, but I'm from Maine. Lets see your Gator tackle a 12" plus Noreaster storm of heavy snot and drifts. Next time share a video with your big boy pants on!
I live where I live, and I plow what I need to. Not impressed with your big boy comment as I’m helping my kids learn to work hard and have fun taking care of our home. Really weird that you would leave a comment for a family like this…👎
I didn’t hear the square footage.
I had a Strafford installed during construction in 2011. model 4007, with traditional grating. some winters it burns for 6 weeks straight. just replaced the rear firebrick.
That’s what we are hoping for as well. We burn wood and heat our concrete floors, only turn on the furnace in extremely cold nights. We love this fireplace and we probably run it for 6-8 weeks straight as well.
What model is the navien? How much sq footage are you heating?
What winch plate did you use on your bumper mount?
I bought the one that goes with the winch. I bought it at harbor freight and it specifically goes with that brand.
@@AllAboutOurHouse nice setup!
I like firewood Videos
Did you duct the air intake to draw outside air? Or is it pulling air from inside your house? I just ordered this unit and I’m debating if I need to cut a hole in my wall to draw from outside air. Thanks for the video
Is there a video/tour of the finished home
Hopefully soon :)
Hello! I recently bought this shear tools and i've noticed that the upper part of the blade (the one that swivels up & down) it's a little loose (has a little play when it's not used). it's normal or it's something broken or untighten inside? can you please confirm if yours it's the same please? thank man!
As a Menards employee, I thoroughly enjoyed this video. What an awesome table. Seriously this table is very efficient and I am quite impressed.
Best comment I’ve ever gotten!!!!
Could you give any sort of total cost for the entire build?
435k
Beautiful fireplace, especially the brick! Is the link posted below the same color you used? The sample image appears darker to me.
Dude where's the price of the house 😶😐
Is this a Dewalt DCD771 Drill?
DCD780
sorry for the slow response my friend
What Material are you using under the stone?
Cement board (hardie)
Watching this video while drawing out home plans on graph paper 😁
Does this unit costs more to be a “zero clearance”? I love the look of this but don’t need zero clearance I wonder if there’s a “normal” model
I KNOW THEMMM
this is not about our house 😆
YOOOOOO, I WAS THEREEEE!!!
those jordens are driping
I've got an older Osburn insert and absolutely love it. Mine is not a flush stove but an insert to a masonry fireplace. I replaced the fan once in the 20 some years I've owned it. Have you looked into how to replace the fan in yours? I'd be interested in seeing how it's done.
I have not looked into it as it’s only one year old. The fan runs every single day when it is use, so at some point down the road I’m sure it will need replacing. The thing with this stove is that there is a cavity below the firebox that allows you nice access to the fan motor. I would imagine it’s easy to swap the motor out and the fan should be good? Hopefully will enjoy this for many years before having to do that. Thank you for the heads up and thanks for joining us.
@@AllAboutOurHouse Glad to see the cavity for the fan.
Will this heat without electricity? Thanks
Ditch the music. Annoying.
Thanks, next time :)
Which Gator do you own? I have a TH Gator 6x4. KFI says they don't have a blade that will fit...?
@@AllAboutOurHouse it has some kind of guard on it, looks like Badland's plate would attach and hang over top bar?
I noticed you uploaded this about 9 months ago. Looking back, would you purchase this again?
A trooper like me with the 850D and plow no power steering! fun but can be a work out!
Is this epa 2020 certified
I have this same fireplace, yes it is 2020 EPA certified. Seems to need more air (higher wood consumption) than other fireplaces and gets the glass dirty very fast.
@@tomn8tr We just installed this unit a month ago and I have definitely noticed the same thing. Need lots and lots of intake air and Super dry wood to work properly. Very unforgiving on the wood quality
@@RyanandSaraDelling - what would you recommend instead of this?
@@trevormorris4753 I recommend the Stratford 2 its a good stove it just needs very dry wood to function correctly
what model navien tankless wh is that???
Your on. It’s getting boring here seeing your subs not going up. Also this is blake
It’s on we betting you in subs
Really great job what you did with the build! Thank you for sharing. We are in the planning process for our build. This was very helpful
Thanks!!!
Great video and it looks awesome!!!
