Shop house or shome

[Davy Crockett]

A few years back there was discussion on here about Shomes and a few had some good advice. Wondering if they are still going up around the countryside and if there are builders in the area who specialize in them ?

Sparling Construction in Bismarck advertises that they build them.

If something would happen to my house thats what I would have built to replace it. Two story with an elevator in it somewhere and a ranch patio out front. LB

Make sure you include a concrete storm shelter inside - AKA fire proof gun room. The neighbor used 8” concrete walls with concrete lid and steel door.

Mr Postframe on YouTube has some great content on this type of construction.

There was mention in the last thread about them and a builder from Fargo or Grand forks area. that would be closer to the devils Lake area where the location is. I wish I could find the other topic about them but it might have been the old site where it was being discussed.

I believe miller construction in mandan does them also.

Any young person who can afford one should go that route. Your be kids wilhave a huge gymnasium when you back your vehicles out and you’ll have as nice of living quarters as you want to spend.

Arent they hard to get a permit for? Not allowed in town setting and i thought even the counties dont want them. Guy at work was saying you have to have certain amount of acres to bypass the county/city permit bullshit. This was just work talk and assumptions, thats why i brought it up here. I would think someone here would know the ins and outs of it.

It depends on the county/township , some areas are fussy about them while other areas arn't.

I see that, I'm wondering who the builders/contractors are in that area.

Insurance agencies, Govt. entities, States, Counties, Townships, and cities all have different definitions, policies, and other regulatory crap that can significantly affect taxes, resale, building sizes, and many other aspects of a shome. Example: Some entities define living space as anything that has a cooking stove in it. Being taxed on living space for a 40X150 shome would not be enjoyable. Be very diligent with your regulation reviews so your intended dream structure doesn't sink your ship. Good Luck!

Not sure if they still do but I know the banks had issues with them when taking out a loan. This might have chanced in the last 10 plus years as they are becoming more common.

I'd never thought about that aspect of it , Good advice.

I recently finished one. I used a contractor from SE ND, August Peplinski /Peplinski construction.
I would recommend them to anyone, High end quality and stuck to budget as well as honest. I couldnt have asked for more.

I personally would not want to live in my shop. Gas/diesel/paint fumes, dirt, dust, mud, no thanks. Now if it was just a vacation type cabin with a place to park your vehicle and you wouldn't be doing major work on it, might could work but I'd prefer a separate building for the toys anyway.
