During the summer, the air in a loft can be very stuffy. For a better flow of passive air, add floor vents and skylights. A deciduous tree on the sunny side of a house also works well. It shades the house in the summer and lets the house bask in the sun during the winter. Low-E windows as well.
This is beautiful! Having lived with angles for years, dressers will be a great option in case you need more storage space for clothes. Also, you can set fans on your upper levels to actually push the air down (check on it running turning left vs right), or just lower the heat towards the evening hours to still benefit from the heat that went up during the day, and you will probably be more comfortable with less heat (and sleep better) with less heat during the night.
My husband and I are fixing to purchase our first home, and we found one today that’s in our price range, checks all the boxes, and is an A frame (which I’m obsessed with). Your video definitely helped!
I’d move the Master upstairs, change the room downstairs into a family room w/TV, play area. Take closet doors off upstairs, cut out wall make closet bigger, add a “tiny house” dual air conditioner/heater upstairs. Also, in kitchen, add an island on wheels up against the wall under shelves. 2 bar stools, and attachable high chair. So, you’ve got a work area and a kitchen waiting location.
@@gojereme Great minds think alike-😉. Knock the closets out upstairs. Install IKEA amoire. Look into using ANY attic space and the cost to bump ceiling out. Make it happen! 👍🏼
You could have a carpenter put (different depth) drawers in the upright walls under the eaves. You could get a ceiling fan or two with adjustable for summer (pull air up) or winter (push air down) to regulate where the warm air is in your house. Best of everything to you and yours!
Such a cute home..as far as the baby's room..you can always switch out the dresser for a long dresser which is also shorter than the one you have now and will give you more storage space...you'd just have to move the crib to another wall.
Hi Jereme, love your videos. Simple common sense in a world full of noise. The front door needs a porch built around it. The stairs aren't safe at all, as soon as your baby is mobile. The heat upstairs just needs a fan to push the warm air back down. I like the panels on the side walls. I have owned and lived in an A frame, and my house didn't have those panels. That made it really difficult arranging furniture. We created a mud/sand room to clean off in before going into the house as we lived near the sea and always had wet, sandy feet. You have a lovely family and home. Things will get fixed as you sort priorities. Safety first.
To come to think of it, I haven't thought about A-frame as a permanent home, rather, to me, it was a weekend getaway type, a short term house. Good to know people live there as a real house!
I live in a rather rustic A Frame built also in the 1970's. You're so right about the angles and you just get used to it. My upstairs is pretty much closed off and the stairs run up against the backwall of the bathroom. In the winter I close off the upstairs during the day with a shower curtain pulled across the top of the stairs. That way I'm just heating the downstairs. Cuts my heating bill in half. I have baseboard heating but I use a fake fireplace heater till it gets too cold and I have to turn on the house heat. In the summer I close off the upstairs at night and run a portable a/c so I'm not cooling the whole place at night and I like it cold at night. Luckily I have a small covered extension on the entry way door so wiping off the feet before coming in is a plus. I also have a runner from the door that goes a few feet into the place. I have no closets in the 2 bedrooms. There is one small closet in the short hallway between the 2 bedrooms and a larger closet downstairs in the entry way hall. You do have to create your own storage in these places which isn't that hard.
I absolutely love your home. I do agree a spiral staircase would have been cool as well but the style of your stairs are really nice. Looks great and I didn’t see you bump your head so I say win. The baby nursery is literally adorable. That’s a fine size for a child up until 10 or so in my opinion. A bunk loft would be a great use of space in there in the future. Guest bed is good size. Great window. Under bed storage for sure is the way to go. Platform bed with lots of drawers would be great for that. I wonder upstairs if it would be ideal to use some sort of portable AC or window unit upstairs as needed. If hot upstairs is only like 75°F though I say it’s fine. 76°+ is pretty warm in my opinion but still better than outdoors
Install ceiling fans to move the hotter air around. Also you could buy air vents that you can close(or just mostly close) to limit the amount of heated air going into those rooms. You can also buy magnetic flexible "shields" to put over the vents to control how much air gets into the room.
It would be nice to have the heat system under the walkway/steps to keep the snow off. If you don’t have an hoa you could add a small overhang for rain. I think your home is great for a minimalist. And every home has things you like and don’t like.
I saw you had vents for heat upstairs, but do you also have return vents near the ceiling? if you do, you could recirculate the air on a timer when the system isn't running which would take some of that warm air up top and distribute it down below, making for a more even temperature throughout the place since you said there was a noticeable difference changing floors... the stairs would be great for an L-shape landing, the first few steps face the living space then turn to go up after, save the head.
It's a beautiful house and you paid what others normally pay for a tiny house. Very smart. I would replace the couches for a sectional and include a tv in front of the window swamp cooler. If you think it's safe, yes a spiral staircase would be a good option. About a porch. You can talk to your neighbor and come up with a simple porch that both can afford and so both homes look the same. About the master bedroom wall, I would look for a professional designer here on CZcams and ask what would they do with that. I would probably put a shelf behind all across with a very nice wood color that will represent the bed frame. And you can use that for extra storage. Above the restroom on the second level where you have a plant. I would add a half bath. It would add more value to your house. If the baby is a baby girl. You can add a bed canopy without the frame since you would just staple the canopy. I would use the guest room for the baby room. If you have more then one kid, you can have bunk beds. The small bedroom can be a guest room/office. If you have more then one guest, then you use the bigger room only for that occasion. You also have all that vaulted space, you can add more living space above. Since you are debt free. You can save $, wait till the value of your house is higher, sell your house and purchase another house, cash. But, you have so many options to feel comfortable at your current home. Idea: Since you have additional $, I would invest at least $1000 in XRP, XLM, Cardano, OMI, or Flare Spark :0) Blessings to you and your family.
Ya a lot of people do not realize an A frame is a purpose built structure made for places that get 10 feet or more of snow in the winter . You only heat the upper part and that is where you sleep .in most A frame houses if u heat the bottom the upper part will be too hot and u will end up opening a window and that will cool the lower part fast .storage space is not easy basically storage in the lower 4 feed of the angled walls giving u a flat short wall for furniture . Looks like u are making it all work for you Thanks for the vid
Despite the minor inconveniences, I still love your home. The nursery is adorable. You will have to address the issue of that railing on the landing pretty soon, for baby could tumble over that, and the distance between the railings does not look to code. But you probably already know that. Also must think about the railing on the stairs, although if you replace the stairs with a spiral stair-case, you can kill two birds with one stone.
The roof/wall at the foot of your stairs seems the biggest problem, but you have a nice stairway, I wouldn't go spiral, you could pop out the wall and put another window in (dormer style)
If you’re gonna out that much paneling they should have added built in draws that’s a lot of wasted space. Should look into horizontal Murphy beds for the smaller rooms
what is the base (ground level) width, height and angles of your A-frame? Makes a big difference in living area IMO. For example a 30' width and 20' height and slope 'x'
You could maybe extend a new front door / hallway to your present front door. This would give you a non-heated place of shoe removal and some storage. Just an idea to chew on. You do great videos. Blessings on you, your wife, and BabyBoo
Love your commentary show more of the house when you are describing things instead of having the camera face you and talking so much we see more you then the A-frame house
At the end of the stairs put a soft cushion ceiling piece there so no ones head gets hurt coming down the stairs. Wish I found a nice inexpensive home like that. Is it easy to repair the home?
@@gojereme I watch so many debt free channels and love most of them. Yours is a little different and I like that! Your video on your three reasons to live a debt free life was awesome and gave a little different food for thought than many other channels. Keep up the great work!
Well, we love the A-world, A-planes, A-submarines, A-roller coasters, A-limbo dance, A-break dance, A-beyonce dance, A-twerking dance, A-diagonal nose(granted a vertical nose would be safer ),. The A-vertical world gets boring!!
How do you plan to protect your son. When he grows to a toddler he may fall from stairs. I think you need to do some arrangement to stop that. Share with us if you already have a plan.
I was thinking too about having a newborn on a different floor from the parents. He did mention later in the video that they were planning to have the baby in their room at first. I don't think he realized when he made the video how long children usually sleep at least near their parents even if not in the same room. But, yes, when he's a toddler and wakes up in the middle of the night and wants to go to his parents, those stairs could become a problem. But you have to remember they're first-time parents, so there are lot of things they aren't going to realize are issues until AFTER the baby comes. The day after we brought my son home from the hospital I had to send my sister-in-law out to buy a floor lamp to put next to the changing table so I would have enough light to see what I was doing when changing diapers in the middle of the night. The lighting in my bedroom had never been an issue until then. Certain pieces of furniture had to go once he started crawling b/c they were too unsafe.
I just subscribed and I find your home and lifestyle very appealing. I’m currently in the process of making plans to build my own home and am curious as to the square footage of the bottom floor of your home. If you could respond I’d appreciate it as I am looking to keep me concrete pad below 900 square feet with one bedroom upstarts.
Why build an A-Frame if yr going to panel up the walls to get rid of the angle down to the floor. You’ve just de-A-framed the house other than how it looks from the outside.
This was click bate. The only issue seems to be the entry. BUT You could always build a landing there to support your outer shoes (on either side of the outer steps)

What brand of A-frame did you buy? I was looking into Avrame
@@harrisonporter1341 I didn't buy a kit, it was built by the original owner.
You need a boot tray for the entrance, they sell them on Amazon.
5:37 In reference to the Heat,…if you had ceiling fans, pushing hot air down to the bottom level, do you think this would work?
Are they in your opinion cost effective to build and maintain.
I live in an a frame. The spiral staircase is easily the worst part of the house and I'll trade you any day.
During the summer, the air in a loft can be very stuffy. For a better flow of passive air, add floor vents and skylights.
A deciduous tree on the sunny side of a house also works well. It shades the house in the summer and lets the house bask in the sun during the winter. Low-E windows as well.
Such a pretty home.

Seriously thinking of A frame- I have no snow, will have porch. You gave me idea of dealing with angles. Only problem is losing space. thanks

I'd love the plans to your A Frame!
Hey St BG, darn - we didn’t build it and don’t have the plans. Thanks for watching!
A framed structures can also be built on top of a flat topped structure.
ye its called a livable roof...
The walls become the storage area , you could have a fan in ductwork pulling the heat from upstairs to a vent downstairs to even the temps
It’s beautiful 😍 😍

The roof/wall at the foot of your stairs seems the biggest problem, but you have a nice stairway, I wouldn't go spiral, you could pop out the wall and put another window in (dormer style)
Central air & heat is a must for me. Even without an “A” frame a furnace makes for inconsistent temperatures throughout the hone.
If you’re gonna out that much paneling they should have added built in draws that’s a lot of wasted space. Should look into horizontal Murphy beds for the smaller rooms
your video helped me to forget about A frames. haha 😆
What is the footprint/size of your home? We are co sidering an A-feame and it looks like you have decent floor space.

Dios Te Bendiga Hermano, Did you go through a realtor to find your A frame home?
you can easly extend porch in front while you are unemployed , do not scare about just make home work , so many Porch options there .
dude i really like your home... you can build in the entrance a small pergola ...
is it a good idea to build asymmetrical A frame houses?
For the entry, try a larger rug.

Your kids are lucky. You are such a caring parent.
Perhaps u guys can get a porch built after saving up a bit
what size is the aframe?
Wih the slanted walls, consider inserting drawers.
you could have used the angles on the bottom for storage getting the same effect in the rooms but using the space
there are special closets and drawers made for a frames
A porch has zero to do with hating an A frame. I see no other negatives at all.
Love your house. How will you handle the stair and top railing with baby?
Put a gate bottom and top. Maybe move to upstairs bedroom. Or maybe buy another home before he starts walking!
Trundle would work instead of a bunk bed
How wide are the bedrooms on the second floor roof to roof on the floor level?)
I’m starting building my a frame and want to get a better feel for the sizes I got
Do u know in sqft if your house?
What's behind the vertical paneling? Seams like a waste of storage space.
It baffles me how many people buy these houses without educating themselves about them first.

994 sqft
Thanks for the reply. Keep the great ideas coming 👍
What you are pointing out has nothing to do with an A-frame. Its just bad floor planning. Use ceiling fans to push warm air down.
Store items in pull-out baskets beneath all of your furniture.
Wanted to see interiorvof cabin not the speaker thru the entire video. What's the deal with that?
You can add a porch.
Couldn’t you add a small front porch area quite easily?
Build a deck that leads to a Gazebo. that's a solution for your porch
Of course its less comfortable than usual architecture house, but i guess its cheaper. That's is the point to choose this design. Isn't it.
Any issues with sharing a wall with the folks next door? Thanks.
Only wall is the wall that run from the garage to the laundry room. No, issues at all.

Hi Jereme. What is the homes sq ft?
Hey Lynn! 1000 square feet not including single car garage and loft.
the doublehight space always seems useless to me. really nice house , still
With short walls, try short furniture.
I love the home …. But with two kids I need another bathroom
You can fix all of that stuff easily.
