Free Quonset House Plans: Side Window Studio Hut

You are gift to the world!!!!

Very cool that you’re offering free plans 👍. It’s nice to hear some details about the hut also.

Been waiting for some new videos love getting ideas from you as you know ours will be sitting 14 foot off the ground on a wooden floor box about to get started heavy on it this year I'll email you pictures

very good thank you sir

Thanks!!!

Very cool

I’m wondering how cost effective it is to build vs the modern ways?

hi there, I am a big fan of all your designs and subcriber. I plan to build one in the near future. I would like to be in contact with you in the future. My wife and I live in the Midwest and we plan on building our dream Quonset home in a couple years. we wanted to ask you any question that we have. please keep us updated on your projects.

I've thought often of using quonset huts to live in. As an artist I really like just one big living area. BTW: what kind of bike did you make in the background as you were filming yourself?

Haven't been on Facebook for over a month now. Did you apply a coating to the huts? In the aerial shot they appear quite white and not Galvalume in color.

How have the windows held up over time? Any leakage? We recently bought a property that has a 36x78ft Quonset on it that is a barn. Ventilation isn't great. I would like to have at least a few windows on each side in the center to get some cross ventilation going. Exploring options lol.

Hi. Subbed. Thank you for the great info! I am wondering if possible to achieve R-30 by adding an extension rods inside, bolting on floating 1x4 firings, wedging in R-30 7.5inch Rockwool insulation bats, taping on a vapor barrier and then screwing on 1/4 inch wood panels as my finished wall. I am trying to pass Florida building codes on a 1/4 acre lot that requires a 750sq dwelling. A structural engineer must draw plans and sign that it meets structural, wind and energy. I've talked to the county and they said no issues with aesthetics, open concept (no interior walls) and not having windows and doors on the sides (only front and back).

Hi, I'm curious if you can give me some idea of costs for spray foam installation. I realize you're not a contractor, but I'm trying to establish if its worth it to go with the quonset or if savings are offset by the cost of spray foam. Thanks

Earl I have a question. Could a Quonset Hut be converted to be an earthship? completely self sufficient with passive solar, and thermal AC? I've seen some that were buried and question whether the soil / weight might be an issue.

Is it possible to add a concrete swale at the base of either side of concrete foundation for ground water catchment for sub-grade storage tanks? I have a one acre parcel on The Big Island of Hawaii in escrow right now and could really use some help pulling everything together for a Steal Master home-base-model. Thank you.

Any chance you will be uploading any news videos? I follow on Facebook.

What are the legalities and zoning. Can these be legally built. I’m actually a home builder😃 and build spec homes in surprise. Been reading the Maricopa zoning book. I’m not getting my questions answered. Looking to build a Quonset hut for my personal home. It will be in north Phoenix area. Looking to have half the hut garage fitness area. Can I build a home inside the hut? Potentially drive a go kart around the home but yet still inside the hut? What are my egress issues? I have a basic 1 line floor plan sketch on cad. But this is beyond my basic stick frame skills

Excellent information on this type of building. Nothing new for a year now, are you no longer posting on YouTube or just taking a break? Thanks.

Are these STAINLESS STEEL or ZINC? What about the RUST FACTOR near the ocean?🖐🖐🖐🖐🖐🖐🖐
