yetti house

[kevineng]

Im looking at getting a 6.5x12 with a ramp door. Questions is weather to get it unfinished or finished. Anybody with experience, pros/cons let me know what you think. If I finish it, whats the best interior option, Im thinking tongue and groove cedar planking, its light compared to carsiding. And what's the best way to attach it to the walls? Looking at some pics an videos, it looks like the manufacturer use brad nails, seems kinda weak to me

Also, what about the floor. I know the yeti edge sport (model Im thinking of if I just buy a finished one) has an insulated floor. Also read somewhere that sandwiching foam between two pieces of plywood is not a good idea for the floor. I think that's what yeti does to insulate floor.

Any ideas or comments are appreciated

I finished mine myself. It's nice to plan your entire layout yourself, but then you don't have anyone else to blame if it ends up being a pain where something is located in the house.

Finish nails hold up the cedar planking just fine. I used rubber nickel mat for the flooring. Yetti does not finish houses, that is done by the individual dealers on the houses that are finished. Yes they do the sandwiched floor when they insulate the floors, I had the bottom of my floor spray foamed between the frame tubing. This way you have no insulation where the tubing is though (not a big deal just something to keep in mind). Any thickness you add on top of the floor makes your house that much higher off the water and loses ceiling height. Just something to keep in mind.

I have an 8X16 Yetti. If you look at the floor it is recessed about 1 3/4" below the door opening, perfect for 1" of insulation and 1/2" plywood, this leaves you about a 1/4 " for your finished floor. This is what the custom finisher do to insulate the floor. Do it yourself,and have some fun

Well, went ahead and bought one, had just enough time to get the floor insulated before I had to go offshore for work. Menards had G-floor rubber flooring go sale this week, ordered that so that'll be the next step. Also had a couple of days of bad weather out here, so I had time to hit up hsolist and bought most of the appliances.

just need to figure out the final layout, get T&G paneling for the walls and wait til the ice to freeze
