    We are taking the last week of our free time while drywall is installed on our main project to build a much-needed mower barn on my brothers property!
    The only catch is that we want to do it as cheaply as possible so we are only using materials that we have In our possession already! There should be a super fun project and we will be using some unconventional building techniques to make the materials have work out for the project!

    It’s great! My shed has been completed and it turned out nice looking and sturdy and it is way better than the sheds that many of my neighbors had put up. Of course, I'm pleased with the outcome and this Ryan’s ruclips.net/user/postUgkxGZedDTcDfgD7fG_uU4esfx_EgxzlY2_1 Plans was extremely useful to me as a guide.

I hate seeing all the scrap material that gets hauled off from most new construction when there are so many useful pieces that can be saved and used later.

    Very much enjoyed the "Free Barn Build" My dad built a "Free Shed" 13 ft x 30 ft, to park a camper trailer in when I was in Jr High school 62 years ago and it still is standing. The structure was built from Eastern Red Cedar timbers, heavy angle iron brackets and cedar shake shingles. My Dad, brother and I built this shed with timbers logs 10" to 13" in Dia. and boy did we learn a lot. We even cut the trees with a cross cut saw (I still have) and trimmed each log with an ax.
    We also sided a garage with green freshly cut oak boards full 1 " thickness and nailed them tightly together with framing nails. 8 months later we came back with green batten boards to cover up the 1/2" to 3/4" gap from the oak drying. Each nail we drove into the dried oak had to be drilled before driving home.
    Enjoy your projects. By the way I am a "Retired High School Teacher". Heavy on the "RETIRED"!

    This is gonna be a good bit of work but I absolutely LOVE this idea! This is how things used to be built in the country not so long ago. It's amazing how often I find old oak beams in a renovation I'm doing that were from an old barn on said property or near it.

      I got a length from a massive barn beam when the barn was renovated into apartments. The complete beam was 3ftx2ftx20ft and hewn from a single yellow pine, the growth rings on this thing are incredibly tight too.
      Old growth timber is something else, this pine is as dense as oak.

    @johndehoog5567 2 года назад +12

    Hilarious!!!!! This is what happens when contractors decide to build a shed for themselves. They know too much about what can go wrong if you cut corners so they OVER compensate. By the looks of things you could accommodate a lawnmower that weighs about 4 to 5 tons. As usual lots of joking around, laughter, excellent BACKGROUND music, top drawer videoing and precise work. Can't wait to see the rest of the build. BTW Jamie are you installing in floor heating?

Have your box in its set position (not leveled but spaced correctly), and suspended with 4 steaks (like you have now, but fully suspended) then you can drive the stakes in the ground and level as necessary (Side to side, front to back, footer to footer)

If I did not set grade on footers, then I’ll set my forms tall and then nail chamfer with a laser on desired elevation. Or I’ll just pour using rotary laser. This way I don’t have to cut forms. May want to reuse them, or just save time.

    Perkins Builder Brothers,
    This reminds me of a Barn built on side of a mountain outside of Boone, on the way toward Blowing Rock. It was called “Mystery Hill” where water runs “Uphill”. Don’t know if it is still there but it was back in mid 70’s. I think it is close to “Tweetsie Railroad”.
    Check out “Celebrating Appalachia” channel. They are close to Yall in Brasstown, NC. Their daughters have channel: “The Pressley Girls”.
    Oh yeah, better order windows and doors- guess they will be stick built by Yall.
    Thank Yall for these videos‼️
