Hey Guys, 

   I am planning a Hanger House in the Florida Panhandle. Originally planned on a steel 

stucture, but it is seeming that wood will be considerably more cost effective. My question 

is if any of you might have a feel for the insurance ramifications of either options?? I would 

hate to choose wood only to find out later that insurance is outrageous. 

   Thanks, David Wentzell, RV6,  Port St. Joe

Dave,  

   

Most houses in the US and Canada are wood framed. I would expect the costs of insurance will have more to do with replacement costs than anything else. The building codes will require a fire separation wall between the hanger and house, just as they will between a garage and a house. This wall will most likely be constructed of gypsum wall board on a frame of whatever the house is framed with,  or it could be a concrete wall if the house is concrete. Wood frame construction can and should be designed to handle almost any anticipated wind forces, including hurricanes. Often it is best to see how others are building or have built in the same location to get a feel for the most cost effective methods.

Most of the hanger homes on OUR airpark are of cement block

construction and new ones are going in the 450K range. Luckily we got

here a few years ago.

Most on our airpark have built big steel buildings with a partition to

create the house.  I could not bring myself to do this (I don't think they

are attractive for residential) so I got a quote for a chip face colored

block building.  Surprise, it was cheaper.  That is what I have and I love

it.  It is attractive, cooler, has flat walls inside, needs no paint, and is

residential.  Did I mention it looks much better than the steel warehouse

buildings?   Just my opinion of course.

As am on digest, reply is little late. 3 years ago  I looked into airpark living, visited many of them, most in Tx.Ok, and Ar. Have  seen many types, big steel hanger  with home tucked inside , stick  built house with attached stick built hanger,  nice conventionally built  home with breezeway to separate matching  hanger. The former would be  cheapest to build compared to the later which looks much nicer, but much more  cost per sq ft. I passed on airpark living mainly because nearly all were away  from towns, not a good settup foir an older single guy. Charlie Heathco,  FYV. Do Not archive.

I went with concrete block for the bottom (Hangar) with wood frame on top (house).   

  

 Going down the inside stairs in the morming to fetch the paper and seeing that RV-8 waiting for me -   Priceless.  

  

 Insurance.  Just made the decision to "go bare" after the rates have gone nuts and doing a little research.   Did you know that the payoff on a Vegas slot machine is WAY better than insurance?    I know, I'm nuts too.

 I didn't turn a profit on those Vegas slots either Linn, but on the other hand, Laura & I only dropped a  C note worth of nickles in Vegas, got served free drinks by pretty ladies while doing it and had a good time with friends to boot.

   

 OTOH, during my 42 years of buying insurance (non health), I've dropped enough to pay for my house and car and didn't even get kissed  <G>  The insurance "slot machine"  didn't pay off a single time.  Of course, YMMV.  On a side note, I find that I am much more cautious about fire and other hazards and how I drive when I know I am responsible for anything that happens.

   

 To make this RV related, I'm saving enough by not buying insurance this year to pay for over 100 hours of RV flight time.  Makes me smile every time I light the fire on that rotary engine.
