The Car Guy's Garage - Badger Home Builders - with Tom Langan

[Music] hello dere my name is Tom layin and talked a little bit today about building the house I design and sell the homes that Badger Home Builders builds I call this one the car guys garage which you'll see in a while and this one has righty things going on it's got home office it's got a dog door this is pretty much Steve's garage and the rest of the house belongs to Lisa so so let's take a look around come on in this is a wood door so it's stained and finished in the house and then down below here you'll see something that's a little different we have cement there so basically we pour in that step into the floor joist so some of the builders are gonna do like a wood step so conceptually well you know the concrete's gonna outlast the wood okay so this is the part where I'm talking about the home office the idea here is that it's lighting salsa I haven't been in this I kind of find where the lights are but anyways this one it's got a window seat to the front so this is a pelt Apella window here so so with this window this is basically maintenance-free they this a casement so they in the maintenance-free party would either be fiberglass or it would be vinyl so it just depends but there's transoms up here to let the light from the front through into the great room okay so we're in the kitchen now the cabinets are custom made so they're stained and finished in the house so you're gonna go see John our cabinet maker and then he's going to go through everything that you want and basically they're gonna follow my design so what i still hand draw the plans and there's no cost for the drawing so i meet with you and go through your wish list and say well so we like this is the pantry it's also nice thing to have and then this has the auto light on it kind of like your refrigerator has kind of nice touch and the idea this concept is that from the kitchen and here you're looking into the great room and there's plenty of room for people to gather in the kitchen because you know it goes everybody ends up in the kitchen okay so in here and the dinette area we do a bigger dinette so there's plenty of room for to have one large eating area and then there's a good-sized wall if you have a hutch we pour a cement stoop that's basically there's four feet of concrete underground hold it up that's basically what comes with it in the base house is to have that concrete and then you could do a on a flat lot do a concrete patio so a lot less maintenance this is a direct vent fireplace and the idea there is basically you just hit a switch and wolf you got flames so everything's pretty much custom-made around what you like this has some nice big windows looking towards the back and then the transoms so in this room like the kitchen there's 10 foot ceilings and then this is traying up from 10 to 11 a tray like this is going to be $1,200 and then it's like 435 bucks for the four recessed lights and switch so this arch the way this is set up basically what you're doing here is it's taking plywood and and framing this out and then doing rounded corners so so they're frame you know adding the plywood to thicken the wall and then doing the rounded corners give it a little more character so all the woodwork and like the cabinetry it's it's all finished in the house the cabinet shop makes the stair parts now on these this stair made this 42 inch white 42 inches wide the old days the stairs were maybe 35 36 inches wide so the 42 inches gives you a little extra space and then the railings are this is like a wrought iron railing where you can do a wood railing or whatever it is you like so let's say a wrought iron railing is like six hundred dollars more than a wood railing so but gives it a nice touch and our stair parts the cabinet shop actually makes the stairs and they bring the stairs out that tread slide into dado so they're all custom-made versus wear a rough carpenter would basically cut the whole stair parts on the job ours are made at the cabinet shop so this is set up where you've got two bedrooms on the other end and they're kind of hidden from everybody but this is the front bedroom here so this is set up where there's this one this is a 2x6 wall so with the 2 by 6 walls that's pretty much all we do is a 2 by 6 walls but you're gonna get a deeper window ledge all the way around the house and then we're always casing the windows out casing means the wood that's around here and then it's got a maintenance-free window so and it's made by Pella again and then this one has the second window over here so it kind of creates a cross-breeze within this room and then a good-sized closet here and this is all basically the shelf and pole so you know plenty of space to hang plenty of hanging space in here so in the bedrooms here you have a nine-foot ceiling this is called the high and a low return what that means is in the summer when the heat rises you'd close the bottom of this off and so your hot air is gonna return to the furnace up from the top of the ceiling we're in the winter you're gonna open all these and then the cold air Falls you just have to remember to walk around the house and do all that you know when the seasons change so all right well let's go this way okay so this is the hall bath not a real big bathroom but it does the job usually we're gonna have a full mirror in here that probably were putting their own mirrors and then behind the door you can't quite see it there but there's a linen closet behind the door and this is a surround unit tub and shower so this would be the standard tub shower that would come with it some people will opt to do a cast-iron tub with it's around probably about $1,200 more than a sarong Jean it would be so it just depends on what you want this is set up again where you got a window in each corner so you get cross Breeze and again the 9 foot ceilings normally I'd like to do these rooms at least like 11 and a half by 12 and a half but I could make them any size you want so that's pretty much the end of the house so this is usually the guest bedroom and the idea here it's as far away as you can get from the master and then write out the this door somebody can be used in the bathroom and nobody can see them from the rest of the house because I try to hide the bathrooms when possible okay so we're gonna go in the back hall area the laundry room so I try to set this up so when you come in from the garage you got a place to sit down change the shoes and then hang up your clothes and whatever and then there's also another back hall coat closet so you got places for more stuff you never have too much closets and then this one is set up a little differently because sometimes this area would be where the laundry is but I'll show you a little bit this one has the laundry room has a dog door which is kind of cool so this is a half bath here again they're putting their own mirrors in so this one they did the granite counters you know a lot of times in the smaller bathrooms you can get kind of the junkyard granite so when you go to pick out your granite say here you know what do we have left over at the granite place that we deal with in basically they're leftover granite and the smaller bathrooms are laundry room that's not a whole big difference in cost from doing Formica so it's nice to be able to do that kind of stuff and this one there's a linen closet around the door here somehow I put a linen in and some I don't just depends on how the bathroom lays out oh this one this one has like another place like put your keys when you walk in the door drop the mail little stuff like that and then this one over here this is at the entrance the master and this one has a plug to charge your cell phone so something different you know just try to try to use up all the space I can I remember designing this but a lot of this I don't get to see so so what this is this is a broom closet so I like to put two shelves up here where you can put your chemicals and stuff and then place for the vacuums and I know they want to plug in here to be able to charge like an electric you know all those smaller electric ones so just little stuff that can be designed around what your needs are but everybody's got Bruins and vacuums and most houses don't have a place to put the brooms and vacuums so this way you're not stuffing them in with the clothes so this way this part here this is what I called the dog door the idea here it's close to the master and if you want to let the dog out at night you got a nice spot to let the dog out and if it's raining it's got a little covered porch so the dogs got a place to get out of the weather probably the whole setup to add the dog door to the equation between the dog door and the porch you're probably maybe $1,800 something like that but it's it's kind of a nice thing to have and what's nice is this is pretty close to the master bedroom so you've got to let the dog out it's nighttime you let them out so what this is the cabinet's above the washer and dryer so and the dryer is fairly close to the exterior so try to make where there's not a long run for the dryer so you've got your your washer and dryer and then this is set up where they have janitor cabinet shop makes this so this is how they wanted it set up where they put a shelf here and then there's an area underneath probably for dog food and this is so their shelf and pull up here to be able to hang clothes and then they have nice sized laundry tub so that's a you know basically a nice way to set up the laundry room and having the dog door it's kind of cool to be able to just let the dog go outside and then in here not sure if this is I think this is actually that this is the high definition like the basically it's fancy vinyl but it's got the grout in it so it looks like tile but it's a little easier on the feet not as cold as tile would be so and then these cabinets just like the ones in the kitchen these are birch they're custom made so they're stained and finished in the house so and then they did a granite counter here it's kind of nice for laundry so we round the corner here so we're in the master bedroom usually I make the master bedrooms about 13 feet wide and about 18 feet long so this ceiling is traying up from 9 feet to 10 and then as the fan and the roll plate that's nice about the Rope light is you can walk in when somebody's sleeping and turn it on and that necessarily wake them up we set it up where they had the TV up on the wall so they wanted it they did double doors to the bathroom and then in the master vanity this is in Granite and we have what's called comfort height so it's a taller you know basically a taller vanity it's a little easier on the back and a lat so it's and you know versus the old days when everything was a little shorter so we're here so this has a tile shower and imagine the shower doors probably not here yet something else isn't quite done but so what I do here this is a three foot by five foot acrylic base so doing that it's a little less expensive than doing a tile base but it's also less maintenance long-term and then in here put a little seat in here so it's nice to have that extra space and then they did two showerheads so they did this olessa people didn't all one up there and then another one on the side and then oh they got a shower one who so they got three of them in this one so pretty fancy shower kind of not that expensive when you're adding extra showerheads compared to the whole equation okay so in here we have I call these high and low so double stacking so you've got the high shelving to be able to hang stuff and then there'll be areas around here this one has another one for shoes and stuff around the corner or wherever so but that's a nice way to double your closet space and this particular model comes with a high end little pole I mean you can get fancier looking ones but these old clothes a whole lot of them instead of spending $3,000 on a fancier unit which you could do that but that's this is what comes with it so and then over here this has a toilet room so this one we did a pocket door and then this has the linen in here so a lot of times when I'm doing this I'm trying to conserve as much space and not waste space I can't have a window on this side of the house because there's all garage on this side of the house so in here to the back we did an awning window where you could reach up and open that if need be but that's letting the natural light in to the bathroom okay we just wander down the stairs had to go get our shoes because generally the basement floor is gonna be a little dusty so this is your sump pump state code requires that you have a sump pump this particular light is a Seward lot so with a Seward lot basically your your the waste waters are going out to the sewer which is down below here and on a let's say a typical lot where your let's say city of Waukesha all your outside fees meaning the water and sewer cups gravel grading surveys permits you know welcome to town give us your money that's all around twenty grand if your typical city lot let's say we're some of the municipalities they're welcome to town fees could be a good bit higher so they used to call them impact fees but they don't like to hear impact fees so now they call them a reserve capacity fee which sounds like you're getting something nice for your money but basically it's welcome to town and give us your money so if you're on a well and septic lot meaning a well you know your own private well in a conventional septic system with the culvert in the front yard you're outside fees are gonna be about thirty six thousand same stuff except now you have your own well in septic so you don't have a water bill you don't have a servo if you're on a lot with well and mount system it's gonna be closer to forty five thousand for everything outside now on a sewer system you just have your basic sewer system but you're on a septic or a mound system every two years they send the honey way you gotta call the honey wagon to the house and basically get that pumped and 250 bucks something like that but that's that's how those work and then the let's say worst condition would be if you're on a holding tank and I just try not to find people holding tank Lots unless it's on a lake or something but then you got more problems where you have to have it pumped every year and it's similar not every year every month this is a 200 amp service so you can see there's quite a bit of stuff going on here and there's still a lot of extra space so if you ever you know somebody finishes the basement off someday there's plenty of electrical for that and then in this area this has well so this area has sewer but then it's your own wealth so that's what this is here so this is the well tank and and then they'll hook up there's their water softener and everything once they get everything in here this comes standard with the plumbing roughed in for a future bathroom we help you lay out the basement as if you're gonna finish it this has what's called a power vent hot-water heater so this basically exhausts out the side of the house where the other version would be what's called a B vent where it goes up through the chimney so the power events gonna be a little more expensive than the B vent style and then this is eight-foot poured walls so that this is solid concrete and it's eight inches thick on the outside of this there is tar spray on the wall and then there's an inch of foam all the way down to the footing and then up in here we're we're spray foaming the joists so what's nice about that although you know it's also more energy-efficient but also helps keep bugs and stuff out over time the other part that we do that if you walk in a house and you don't see I'll claim this one if you can't see that steel where some of the builders are going to use wood or a micro Lam steel is better than wood this area here is where the the dinette is up above here so that's the steel beam there and then these are the eye joists it's kind of like the silent floor system so like you see right here where this is doubled up what's above that is that island it's all granted so that's helping support that Island this is called a bilkul window well the idea here this was a flat light so it really couldn't get a daylight window so this is what you need if you wanted to be on a flat lot and have a legal bedroom downstairs or if you just want to get light if somebody had to get out an emergency you could get out that way so you're you're adding about twenty five hundred dollars to add a built in a double bill coal window okay so all the car folks or people have lots of stuff this is the car guys garage come on let's take a look around so this part is what I would call for the everyday drivers so this is an 18 foot wide door your normal let's say typical garage door was 7 feet high and 16 feet wide where this door is 8 feet high and 18 feet wide so let's throw everybody the cost of fixing a couple dents in your door or your car about cover the cost of the bigger garage garage door anyway so there's not it's not a huge difference in cost but it's nice nice thing to have so in here we have a service door so you can kind of come and go go outside the other part of the way this one's designed is it's deep enough so normally I like to make a maybe 24 25 26 feet deep so there's plenty of room to park because sometimes life somebody's got a truck and they like oh call I got an extended cab truck and I like to put a plow on it sighs all right so usually what I'm doing is I'm asking you going through your wish list and say well this is what we're gonna put in the garage so that when we're done there's plenty of space so anyway so this one you could Park to comfortably this way what's nice about this garage is you could pull another vehicle in here and you know jockey it back and forth and park three across here if you needed to So Solid three cars big ones in this garage and now a drum roll okay the car guys garage Steve want to be able to drive his truck in here and the boat and if he felt like driving it out the back you could do that so pretty healthy garage and it's also good and tall so if somebody ever wanted you could park for full grown cars in this garage and if you ever wanted to have a lift there's plenty of height to be able to put a lift in here there's another service door to go from here out to where the back patio is gonna go so yeah that's those are rocks so when you when we're done then you're going to need the landscape your yard and then you know so bring in topsoil depends on the soil conditions of the lot but in here as you can see by the rocks should be bringing in topsoil and then your seed and straw and then but normally you want to put your concrete in first so this is setup where they'll do their big patio out here and then put their lawn in the driveway in so it's a prefinished cement board this is a hardiplank product it's supposed to get you 15 20 years without needing to do anything to it and in here did lumen impatient soffit so the eaves are all maintenance-free so basically you're just taking a hose and spraying that off and then it's smart site on the trim and that's also a pre finished product that manufacturer claims 50 years I don't know they'll be in business in 50 years but anyways that's what this stuff is all right well that's the car guys garage as you can see I wanted to come outside so see you car guys could kind of salivate at home going me and look at all that garage how cool will that be a house like what you're looking at here is gonna be low 400s these days and then whatever the dirts gonna cost you and I do help people find land so it's kind of my specialty is finding dirt the best thing to do is give me a call my name is Tom Langan my phone numbers two six two eight nine three seven four four zero and we could make a beautiful house like this for you [Music] you
