I'm a now retired residential and light commercial builder with 30+ years of custom construction experience. That said, I am very impressed with your building of this mountain cabin for you and the family. Great Job!! Like others, I will be eager to see your cost breakdown. Hopefully you'll have multiple categories and break out labor and materials in those categories. It is obvious that you spared no expense in doing everything in a high-class manner and succeeded in an outstanding finished product.

I love that you applied so many newer material applications like Zip Wall and Roof systems, ICF, Mini Split AC, etc...I did not see Solar or rain collection from the roof, but either way, really nice build.

Great Video. Thanks for sharing. Just curious as to the decision to go with a slab foundation vs. a crawlspace. I assume this had something to do with the the overall ICF design and energy efficiency but wanted to get your feedback on that. Obviously you had to bring in a ton of material to backfill the foundation so I was curious as to the tradeoffs. Thanks.

Spent parts of the last 4 days to watch your full build here--John, amazing job buddy. Beautiful area, incredible modern design, and just a really well thought out home. The deck is my favorite part by far, but the fire pit, the hot tub, and all the other little touches really take this place from being solid and serviceable, to extraordinary. Really well done man. p.s. spent a few years living in Western N.C. and will hopefully own a piece of dirt out that way again sometime soon.

I like most everything you did with the exception of your water take away and lack of rear overhang. It's my personal bias as a carpenter that all houses deserve roofs with a perimeter overhang more so in harsh climates as it provides so much in extending life of structure. No idea what state or elevation this may be located at but I've been seasoned at 36" annual rainfall and or 2 foot snow loads. Between the roof shedding and the flat drive, seepage at the sill plate just seems to be a matter of time or season. Contemporary style is pretty down on gutters but got to give them their due for water take away. Having a 18in rear overhang could have provided much function and some cool under soffit down lighting to prevent light pollution. Great color/material selections!

Very nice (and entertaining). Thank you for sharing. One small thing just gnaws at me - the electrical service panel is the first thing you see driving up to the cabin and your electrician didn't bother (or forgot) to put the line to the AC disconnect in the wall, so you have ugly (and crooked) flexible NM conduit from the service panel to the AC disconnect that everyone's going to see.

I really like the overall finished cabin. Very chic. I might have actually built it on the upper level of the driveway with the deck extending over the current driveway so instead of dead ending the driveway at one point into the house, the deck would act as a car port and extra level of usable space. Basically shift the whole thing about 25 ft up the mountain slope. That is, if you owned the property. Of course, there's a reason behind everything. Kudos! Enjoy your new seasonal home! The Firespit is great!

You should have done a walkout basement. Such the perfect spot for it. 6inch thick walls are all you need if building with stick wood & 2x10 lumber FLOOR/ROOF(what i will probably do)(Maybe even 8inch block water sealed on the outside(low cost diy insulation filled blocks)(floor tube heating w/diy ground insulation). Steel columns are way cheaper than concrete wall supports. I like this modern style layout(Orca prefab alternative | theflatsofcumberland). I will watch more.

ICF is not prohibitively expensive. Assume a house would cost another 10% on total price to build to make it near passive house products and techniques with ICF walls and SIP roof. To gain the same energy efficiency of ICF you'd have to build a 2x6 or 2x8 double studded thick lumber framed walls and then fill it all with insulation while avoiding thermal bridging. It's not easy. With ICF it's easy. Like really easy to avoid thermal breaks. You can still screw up the thermal breaks at doors, windows, etc but you build those to be very efficient too with high energy efficiency. With ICF you also gain the benefits of sound proofing, fire resistentance, tornado and hurricane resistant, and bug/pest proof which all lower home insurance costs. You're living in a bunker but it can be built to look like any style home you want. The 6" to 8" thick concrete ICF walls with outer layers foam become thermal sinks by soaking up heat in the Summer and in the winter ists releasing heat if the air is cooler. So if for instance you opened a sliding glass door to the outside for a few minutes and then close it you'll notice the temp hasn't change much in the home; the home air temp balances with the concrete.

One thing I didn't see on the video; was there any vertical rebar installed at the foundation perimeter to anchor/connect to the ICFs once those were poured? The video skips from "finished" foundation perimeter wall to ICFs in place. The examples I have seen in the past have had vertical rebar integrated onto the foundation wall to anchor the upper walls. I had not seen this type of construction with the ICF walls just resting on the foundation wall.

Enjoyed the video. BTW did you calculate the weight of this structure? In my head I think it is over 1/2 a Million lbs of building!! 10 truckloads of compacted gravel to just to have a slab floor then you covered it with flooring. I do not understand.

The only thing I would suggest is at least a 30 ft radius of trees be removed around the building it will help prevent damage if they're ever is some kind of wildfire I know it cuts into the view and the for lack of better words hidden home feel but foam melts pretty quickly and in a wildfire temperatures get extremely hot so the farther you cut a radius around the building the safer it will be just some fruit for thought.

Nice place, you are right, ICF is the way to go. I would have done things a little different. Use a 10" ICF for the stem wall, (NUDURA makes one). Install drain-tile around the footings, draining to daylight. I would do this inside and outside the stem wall and footings. Transition to 6" ICF at the floor. Brace from the inside, since you don't have a floor yet. Drain-tile to a sealed basket, just under the floor, in the rock, this would be for radon abatement, and could be used for water removal. Pour the floor after the walls are done, probably after the roof is done. Pin the floor to the ICF walls. Hopefully that was not the final pitch of the drain to the septic system, it is too steep. Too steep won't work well for solids. I like the shed roof, framing and up slope eves. I would consider adding R-10 ridged EPS insulation below the TGIs. I would not have used so much black, regardless of appearance black can get too hot, causing oil-canning of the sheet metal and so on.

this checks a lot of boxes & i applaud your use of ICF & metal roof, but i'm worried it's missing a few *key* things: -no ERV/HRV with dehumidifier?...an absolute MUST for any structure built with low ACH as an ICF with closed-cell foam roof. fresh air is important for health of both occupants & the structure/materials. no mechanical ventilation is a huge issue, but esp in GA. -no roof & siding furring strips?...need an air gap to allow moisture to escape. when the roof leaks (not if), finding & fixing are a nightmare that involves destroying the closed-cell foam. plus, high summer sun won't bake through the black metal & thermally bridge to the interior via the trusses as much if you roll out a radiant barrier too. -no overhang?...w/o an overhang or gutter, all the runoff from the roof accumulates at the base of that long wall after running down it, & possibly behind it. didn't hear Zypex mentioned, so even with a french drain, the moisture will seep into your foundation/slab/wall at a high rate. -no insulation under the slab?...all the great passive heat gain through the day gets wicked away from underneath, instead of releasing back into the home at night. sorry if this is the 1st time you're hearing of these issues, but they should have been addressed by your engineer or at minimum, any one of the many contractors should have said something. they're that important (well, aside from slab insulation, that's just beneficial).

But, everybody is different and the way we both built our houses is different. You went for great amenities, I went for lower cost. Both achieved the same result, a ICF house with a metal roof, yet you got a approx. 1200sq/foot cabin, looking at a valley full of trees, I got a 4350 sq/ft home looking at a cove on a lake. Interesting, very interesting. Hope you enjoy it for years and years! God bless.

Nicely done. I was fully expecting that foundation to be a 'basement-with-a-view' ....

@ 57:20 better add an empty conduit (large one too "like 2 to 4 inches")) to that trench for things that you may want to add latter/ like cable, intercom to gate at entrance, wires to add lights at driveway entrance, tubing to supply water to water feature (fountain, water fall etc.) and anything else your little heart desires LOL

Great video, thanks for sharing! Choices are a matter of taste and budget but I am wondering: with those massive pillars why not doing a wider deck so you can extend your legs on a lounger or similar or even put the jacuzzi directly on the deck? the first thing you see when driving into the house is the trash can! electrical panel and AC equipment ! I would have put that out of sight when arriving (or hidden somehow) . Lastly construction seems Very robust but was all that gravel filling of the foundation really necessary? and specially the thick concrete retention wall in front of the house? Great job! Looking forward seeing the cost breakdown
