"Captain Bill" Smith calls El Dorado, Arkansas home when he is not busy with his Captain duties towing massive cargo barges in and out of New Orleans. Even when he is not on the water though, one might say Billy Smith is still a smooth operator.
His desire to own a SteelMaster buildings started several years ago. Back when Billy was in high school his grandfather bought one. He knew someday he too, would be the proud owner of a SteelMaster building. However his would not be used for a workshop, garage, or storage.
Billy purchased a 30’x16’ building which is being carefully crafted into quite the bachelor pad. In his words, "I guess you can tell by the looks of my kitchen that I’m not married, huh? Ha-ha. And no home is complete without a bar."
From what we could tell from his pictures, his kitchen looks just fine. With stainless steel appliances that match the rest of his sleek modern interior, his kitchen is more than workable. Billy refuses to insulate his building. He likes the ultra-chic industrial appearance of the steel and metal walls. He managed to keep his home adequately warm last winter with a wood stove and a ceiling fan to circulate the air, given heat rises. His bedroom stays nice and toasty since it is located in the rear quarter of his building in a second-floor loft area.
Keeping his home cool has not been an issue either. He has been comfortable with one window air-conditioning unit and a turbine vent. Although he is planning to add two additional vents, he decided to go with a window unit instead of central air because, "If it stops working, I do not have to call a technician. I can just kick it out of my window and buy another one!" he says.
The picture of his bar reveals his true craftsmanship. The dimly-lit designer lighting and step-up bar make a great gathering place where he and his friends can hang out and unwind. There is also the luxury of knowing neither he nor his friends have to drive home or call a cab after partaking in a few libations conjured up at Billy’s bar.
Billy has taken his time with his home and furnished it with quality finishes that will last, just like his SteelMaster building. Although a humble man, he admitted with the exception of constructing the building, he has done all the interior work himself. He enjoys working on it in-between being out on the barge. The size of his building is perfect for him. The bonus of the unencumbered floor to ceiling space which is uniquely a SteelMaster design feature, adds jaw-dropping drama to the entrance of his home. The tall span gives it a high ceiling without a boxed-in feeling.
Billy’s goal was to have a maintenance-free home that would be distinctively his as well as a conversation piece. He wanted his home to be secure when he was at sea, and safe enough to withstand severe weather. Some might think that would be asking a lot. But with a SteelMaster building you get that and much more.
SteelMaster buildings are backed by a 30-year warranty from our factory where the building kits are designed and fabricated. They are safe and secure enough for the government and the military. SteelMaster buildings have withstood hurricane force winds, tornadoes, heavy snow loads, and extreme temperature fluctuations, all the while keeping the contents within safe and sound.
The arches and end walls of SteelMaster Buildings are treated with SteelMaster’s Galvalume Plus. This thin, clear, organic coating eliminates the need for conventional chemical treatment while maintaining a bright, heat reflective and corrosion resistant finish. No need for Billy to worry about termites either, since he owns a steel and metal home.
At SteelMaster, we are constantly amazed by the innovative abilities of our customers and friends. Billy’s home is no exception. We remain grateful to those who share their stories for our website too. It serves as proof positive the use possibilities of our buildings are indeed infinite.
Here’s to smooth sailing, Captain Bill. We thank you. We have a feeling you will be having plenty of (ahem) friends over to admire your bachelor pad! (wink-wink!)
