    This is a 2-story 1,000sqft modern A-Frame cabin meant for families or groups. You can return from the great outdoors to complete comfort, luxury, and leisure.

    I love the a- frame design, I’m glad someone else feels the same . I like what I see so far , is this design from a kit or did you have this drawn up , not sure if I’ll live long enough to build one , maybe I’ll buy one that’s already built. To retire in .

    I'm from Brazil, Good afternoon, what is the external measurement of this chalet? front and back... how tall was he in the center?

    • @zaynelumpkin
      @zaynelumpkin Před rokem

      He says the ceiling is 30 feet tall at the highest, and the angles of the triangle all look to be the same, which would make each edge of the triangle 30ft/sin(60°)=34.6ft long. So it's about 34.6 feet (10.55m) wide at the base, probably actually 36ft, but I can't tell how long it is.

  • @natethegreat-outdoors8924

    How wide is the house? How long are the A runs?

    • @rywatsTV
      @rywatsTV Před 2 lety

      Looks like 30' ish wide by 35' long judging by the deck joists? He said 30" ceiling as well.

    Now there's the difference between the Boomers and your generation. We loved our big clunky speakers stacked halfway up the walls and each stereo component glistening under the black light. You young studs want to hide everything in the walls and ceiling. That's cool, bro. Just allow for a way to replace them when they blow. Love the A-frame though, gonna do one myself this year.
