MORE ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
In this episode of Our Avrame Home, Rob and Katie reflect on the importance of preparation and adaptability in their A-frame home-building journey. From receiving the kit just before winter to learning how to operate heavy machinery, they’ve embraced the steep learning curve of DIY construction. Clearing the land and addressing drainage issues underscored the value of proper land management, while unexpected challenges with the septic system and supply lines taught them the need to stay flexible. They also learned that hiring professionals for key tasks, like plumbing, is crucial to avoid costly mistakes. Miscommunication on slab dimensions emphasized the importance of accurate plans and documentation, but reaching the milestone of pouring the slab brought a great sense of accomplishment. Join them as they share their journey filled with lessons, growth, and the joy of overcoming obstacles.
Despite these challenges, they successfully poured the concrete slab, using winter concrete due to the late season.
