  • A new loft, our barn cats relocate, and Melissa and I insulate the attic. Well, it was mainly her. This is episode 18 in my BoxBarn build series.

    Everyone needs a stage. And a place for the string quartet. Carpets and everything! 😀
    Melissa's One Kninch Punch...

      A wee bit embarrassed at my attempt to conflate knitting with one inch punches. 🤪The pry-bar approach to language. Subtle as a brick. 😂
      Look forward to the video of your Xmas barn party: the quartet, the roasting chestnuts..
      Best wishes to ye both. Mark

    Well done! Always a joy to
    watch. I enjoyed Melissa’s
    “it’s like house yoga” and
    her beating the insulation.
    What a tough job

    Love the mezzanine. Gotta be honest, I fear those three bottom risers. Oh Melissa...I ran the hopper a few times when I was a kid, for my dad who was up in the attic of whatever house we were insulating. I vowed at age 17 to never have anything to do with blowing in insulation again. One of the most solid vows I've ever made, turns out.

    Did you ever consider suspended beams? I did a suspended beam for a garage loft once. It was just a stabilizing setup to prevent beam sagging but also to allow the cars to pull in under it... Great looking deck you have there. Man... I love building with wood... and I love watching you build stuff.

    • @metaspencer
      @metaspencer  6 месяцев назад

      I thought about it quite a bit but didn't find one second hand around here. A beam like that would be great ... less chance of smashing into the supports!

    Oh my goodness. You owe Melissa whatever she wants! Made me laugh so hard, then I saw she was smacking away at the insulation and stuffing it into the grinder lol.
    Here's the top question, though. Will Melissa snuggle with the kitties in the hangout space? Or, will the staircase scare Melissa away, even though the kitties can scamper up?
    Love these videos, can't wait for the overview video to rule all videos!!!

    • @metaspencer
      @metaspencer  6 месяцев назад +1

      Yeah I laugh out loud every time I watch her SLAPPING those bags of insulation haha ... I mean the thing is that she had a job to do and simply TACKLED it, getting it done. So far the kitties have been coming down for pets, but I'll keep you posted if I ever witness cuddling up in the loft :)

      It's been about 2 years and while I still don't take one out on every job, when I do need one it's a real game changer. Equipment always means more trips and maintenance and all of that, but they can be a huge time saver and even make things possible that otherwise aren't. So you know how it is: there are a lot of different ways to go in terms of equipment purchases. But for the kinds of work I do they're great machines

      @@metaspencer Thank you for taking the time to reply. Last year I climbed everything. For cleanup I had a small flatbed trailer. So this year I am getting a 3500 truck and a dump. I am not yet at the point of a mini skid but am looking around for next mid season. I see boxers here in MN for 10k. I may go that route and get a bobcat at a future date.

I like your approach much better as you seem to be feeling things out and seeing how and when to grow. I started out with a flatbed trailer and got a lot done, but the single best equipment purchase I made was getting that dump trailer. Hang in man!
