Building a Barndominium(almost completed pic heavy)

From a previous thread http://www.texashuntingforum.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/4776687/1
Well got my Mule Deer hunt in and started to clean up and move somethings into the new place. Sorry about the pic quality.
View looking into living room area. Room ceiling height is 11.5' on outside and 15.5' on centerline wall. All walls have 1/2" plywood behind the sheetrock.



View from kitchen into the living area.

Kitchen area. Used barnwood tile on the bar and backsplashes.


Also used it around the kitchen window, also trimmed window with some old barnwood. I think it looks great and goes well with the granite counter tops.

Loft area above the kitchen for mounts or ????? It is made from old barnwood from my family farm. It was from an old chicken house that my grandparents built in the late 30's. I used the barnwood tile to match it on the rest of the house when I used tile.

We used the barnwood to tie in the barnwood and used it as trim around front doors. The front of the kitchen countertop and bar.

Front doors from inside the house.

Looking great STX. Ready to see it with all the mounts on the walls

WOW!!! That looks awesome!

Man STX that looks freaking great! Love the barnwood tile and the real wood. Front door trim looks awesome.

Very nice.

x2 on the mounts

Random pics.
Master bedroom.


Since I used the barnwood on the loft display area I had a wild idea to finished the masterbath shower in the barnwood tile with a washed stone floor to give it an outdoor/ranch feel.


Closet in masterbath

Vaniety in bathroom.

Spare bathroom.

That looks friggin' badarse. Love the barnwood Ranchman. It's gonna' look killer with all your mounts installed.

Random pics.

Very nice

Looks good

Nice Job Looks great

Very Nice stx

Very, nice what kind of wood floors did you go with?

WOW! Cant wait till the open house party!!!!!!!

Me neither.

That has turned out super nice.

Wow Ranchman, that is really nice. I just hope you didn't spend all your money where you can still buy beer for the "Open House"

Not wood but vinyl wood planking. That is why I used it in the kitchen, dining and baths. Easy to install and very durable.

Thanks but the beer might have to be some old leftover Generic Beer

That's the best kind!

I like the barnwood shower... just don't slip and bust your arse on them river rocks!

Thats what I'm talking about. Very nice stx Will your full mount bedded fit up in the loft?

Yes both of them should fit up there. If not then one will and the other can go into the living area on the floor.

What are your ceilings in the living room and kitchen? They look to be bead board of some kind?

Looks awesome, very nice work.

They are wood laminate ceiling planks.

Stuff is tough. My mom has it in her house. I put it in my travel trailer. Not cheap either.

Looks good ill be headed south over xmass. Ill bring the beer, just makes you fill up the mr buddy heaters in the blind.:)

It was not really that expensive and cheaper than regular wood flooring, tile or stained concrete. It is really tough. No heaters in my blinds, those are for candyarse hunters but it don't get to cold here either.

Lol, think ill be down there 23-25 in rockport. If your not chasing deer ill have to buy you a beer

Very nice. What kind of wood is that your cabinets are made of?

<jealous

Looks awesome bud. Congrats

Guess I look at things differently. I am utterly amazed that you can have 35000+ posts in a three year period and even think of a new place. House looks very livable & comfortable. Congrats.

Looks outstanding, it really turned out well.

Looks awesome have any outside pictures
?

Wow! Your placed turned out great! I can't wait til I get to build mine

Any rooms for rent

Looks great

Looks Great Amigo

Great choice on the vinyl. Very durable...took a few installations for me to trust it, but I am sold on it now.

Place looks outstanding!!!! I am just surprised you made ALL those decisions by yourself

Really does look

am I the only one who is wondering what this has to do with the topic?

Stx...love the build sir looks great

Now I want one. You should be proud.

Looks great STX. I like all those track lights to show those mounts you will have on the walls. That will make them look very nice up there.

Outstanding! Really turned out nice.

You did a great job on the inside! Can we see some pics of the outside? After the kids are out of school I plan on doing something similar.

Nope, you aren't the only one. Think the rest of just passed it off as a Jackwagon post and ignored him

WOW!!!!!!
I hate barnwood but that looks AWESOME with how you used it and the tile

Sweet casa sir. Me likey

Whoa big fellows. Why didn't you include the rest of my post. "Looks very comfortable and livable. Congrats" First, if my comment did not bother Stx why are you complaining? I did not post it for your benefit. Second, it was meant as a compliment. I am trying to maintain 413 acres, clean some barns & garage, and I admire him for being that organized. Back in 2007 we remodeled the old farmhouse in Erath Co and it was a nightmare. Third, I feel Stx can take care of his business, doubt he needs you to take up for him. Merry Christmas to all.

Looks great STX. I can't wait for you serve us up some of your world famous waffles from that fancy new kitchen.

Seriously though, nicely done. I'm envious.

Looks comfy, I love the barnwood accents.
I think you will have a harder time deciding what mount goes where, than you had in picking out what materials you wanted to use for the new build.

First, it reads like a Jackwagon post. Second, if it bothered STX, he would ignore it as a Jackwagon post like most of us did. Third, no doubt STX can handle his own. I wasn't responding to you, I was answering txsdispatcher. Fourth, your explanation was very thoughtful and provide clarification that you are in fact not a Jackwagon. Merry Christmas to you too

Will have to check with me. We are trying to get my Dad home for a day or two for Christmas if we can so it might not work for me.

They are from Lowes and the in stock ones they have in store. Kitchen Classics Denver Hickory. I had tried to order some customs ones but someone from Lowes put a hold on my order in late August when I ordered them. Then in early October the manufacturer called my contractor to schedule a delivery date so they could build them. So I cancelled the custom and took the in store inventory. My contractor hand picked the ones with more grain as best he could. The pantry was a custom order though.

None yet of it completed but here is a link I posted in the start of this thread with a link to see the build to date. http://www.texashuntingforum.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/4776687/1

When we were building our house we used the same line of cabinets from Lowes except in Oak. A few weeks or months later they came out with the hickory, which I like a LOT better, dagnabit

Turned out very nice. I'm sure it will look even better when completely furnished.

This is what I lived in for the last 16 months and all I added was a porch and some skirting but this 14'x32' Cabin was my home while I had this built. So anything would be an improvement even living a barn. I did not need nor want anything real eloborate or fancy. Just something that fits my needs. Being single I only had to please me. I am pleased

I am glad I went with the in store ones instead of the custom order now also. I really likes this wood and color of the cabinets.

It all tied together very nicely, you'll be very happy in your new place. So would you do it again, living in the shed?

How exactly did you shower in that thing (old one)?

If I did not have it crammed full of stuff yes I would but not enough room for all my mounts though.
This cabin has a living/kitchen area, bedroom and then a bath(4'6"'x8'6") with small shower and a closet(4'6"x4'6"). It has two small lofts- one over the kitchen and one over the bath/closet on each end.

Now I gotta sell this cabin!

Very nice

Thanks all

Looks great STX!

Looks amazing. Congrats on the new place.

Thanks guys

Looks great STX, I am very happy for you my friend!

Outstanding stx

Very nice!

X2 I just developed a serious case of trophy room envy!

Nice! Next time I need to hang a mount... instead of looking at it leaned up on the wall for 3 months Ill just call you

Looks awesome STX

Awesome. Can you post a pic of theoutside of the barndominium. VERY COOL>>>>>

What time does the room of horns open and how much are the tickets. Looks great Steve! Merry Christmas-Happy New Year

Man that's awesome...nice build. Let me know when you want me to bring the steaks and XX

You've spent more money on taxidermy than you have on your house! Awesome!

Awesome

Hell of a 8 pointer?

Which one?

All of them

Awesome awesome awesome. Love your attention to detail throughout.

How many years of hunting is represented by the mounts in your trophy room? Bound to be a good story or two you can tell about them.

Thanks for sharing pics stx.

man... it was already nice!!.. adding the mounts to just put salt in the wound....every one of those deer are trophy's!...

outstanding!!!..

That is from 24 yrs of hunting. I have some older mounts I will move in that will date back into the mid 70's though.

would love to see a 360* panorama photo of the mounts from a step ladder in the middle of the room. Capture a frontal view of every single mount in one frame.

I love the shower in the master bath

Wow that is amazing with all the mounts...

Walter

Man cave to end all man caves. BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

Man cave to end all man caves. BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

Stand on your love seat and scream, CABELA'S AIN'T GOT S**T ON ME!!!

Sick chit STX. Great looking place. Love it and holy smokes on the mounts. You have led a blessed hunting life!!

WW THAT is amazing !!

Wow!

X2
Very nice.

From page 3.

Outstanding Great job on the Barndominium and what a collection of mounts & memories
And thats only most of them (mounts)

Well I have about 5 or 6 more older ones that are in other rooms. Then I have about 20 euro skull mounts also to find room for.
Thanks guys.

Ranch you could charge admission to show those off!!

Awesome job. Looks really good

Looking great

Awesome. What does the outside look like? Or did I miss the pics?

Here is a link that I posted in the first post on this thread.
http://www.texashuntingforum.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/4776687/1

I dint think I've even seen that many bucks in my lifetime. Awesome

Yessir! Now that's a good looking room.

Which one is your favorite trophy?

I couldn't afford your taxidermy bill!

My West Texas Mule Deer on the last pic on the right is my favorite Mule Deer. WT is the 7x7 typical I killed in Bandera County.

Dang...................[i][/i]

Great Work Amigo...Looks Outstanding

Very Nice

The whole build is just flat out awesome......I am jealous

Awesome setup

Wow....going to have to stop mounting your trophies or add on to it soon...
LOL....VERY NICE!

Awesome and I really like the full body mounts on the ledge.....

If you wanna ball hard, you gotta ball hard...

Well there you have it... Stx aka HARD BALLER

gotta love that faux finish

Every time this come back to the top I still can't believe how good that looks. Congrats on the new place you did good.

Walter

Any words of advice for someone who is about to start their own barndominium?

Outstanding. Congrats on your new home. I am envious.

Find as many finished one to look at as you can. Ask the owner what they would do different and what they like. Price several builders and ask for references that they have built for and look at their build. Here is one website I used when starting to look and price. I did not use them to do my build.

I love the full mount whitetails up in the loft. You don't see full mount whitetails very often. Way cool!

Very Impressive!!! Looks great

Is there anything you would have done different, now that it is pretty much done? Looks like you could have made it bigger...more wall space at least

I probably would have made the living quarters wider than 30', more like 34-35'. I would have added 8-10' to the slab length for more barn/shed area. So I would have had a 35' x 100' slab instead of 30'x92'. Wall space is fine, for now

Very nice, thanks for the info.
I plan on doing the build out on my own, so I'm really just looking for a steel erector at this point.

I missed this before. Definitely looks nice. Bet it's comfortable to live in.

X3!

Very very nice! Congrats on a great build! Beautiful! Love what you did with the wood com the barn!

So did I? He77 of head room STX

Cool

How about some outside pictures?
