Simply amazing work, Jake. Everything is looking excellent. It always amazes me your ability to get so much done by yourself. My hat goes off to you. 👍
Happy Thursday! Ready for my Shredpile episode. Framer, carpenter, woodworker, metal work, welding, fabricator and mechanic. Your math is pretty good too😂. Telling you need an apprentice. Oh yeah forgot electrician
Thanks for catching it hot off the press Alan! I think ten more years before the blissful silence is shattered by the sound of a new guy smashing his fingers and dropping crap on his own feet is about what it would take to get used to the idea, I'll sleep on it:-)
Well done Jake 👍. I learn something new every time watching you. I especially liked the phrase “ it’s a result not a target”. Thanks for taking the time to share.
My husband is a retired plumber. You work as hard as he used to. He loves watching your videos!! Especially when you work with metal, the contracting work and the bridge you built. WOW 😳😮😳. Really nice work 😁👍... P. S... My husband Jim totally understands working alone. He had an apprentice now and then and they drove him crazy "waiting to be told" what to do next!
Oh thanks for all that, i’m really happy people are enjoying the channel. i’m glad Jim gets the solo thing, sure there’s times an extra set of hands would help but most of the time just moving mine a little faster is all it takes. See you next Thursday :-)
Enjoying the progress Jake, I don't mind the rinse and repeat, it's good to see what's involved in each phase of such a project :) Good job you have that gravel coverage around the barn, if that had been a muddy site, you may never have found that bronze wear pad from the forklift.
I keep meaning to grab the parts diagrams out of my filing cabinet to see if I should be looking for two of them:-) but yeah, you're right, it may never have turned up.....
@@ShredPile When I've watched repairs / rebuilds on similar telescopic kit (a boom lift and a yard crane) they were in pairs. Hopefully if it is a pair, the other one remains mounted, or is still inside the boom section somewhere. Be nice to find it as a replacement would cost more than a few $'s
You are a hard worker and do a good job as well. The videos are interesting to watch. I would be a little concerned at the risk of working at heights alone tho, because if you suffer an injury or fall etc there’s no one there to render assistance or call for medical help etc. My experience is that one person working alone puts out about 50% of the output of one man, while two people working well together gain a synergy where the work output is the equivalent of 3 men. From a time is money point of view for general contracting, it would probably pay to have an offsider, not to mention the added safety factor. That said the laws of employing anyone these days with all the union awards & compulsory superannuation, workers comp cover, sick & annual leave, payroll tax etc etc, it’s literally no longer worth it to employ anyone, so get it when it comes to working alone. Keep up the good work. I’m enjoying the build.
You having power issues reminded me of back in 1975, I was working on a building site and pretty green. Being green I was obviously in charge putting the jug on for smoko, simple huh, on returning to the jug it was boiling, the transformer was smoking and half the pitch from inside it had drained onto the ground. Intrigued by this I yanked the two fuse covers on the builders temp to find out the cartridges had been replaced with two and a half inch nails. Back then I found out this was quite common, builders temps only had two hot points and were always popping, generally causing high blood pressure and bad attitudes ..... nails fixed this, smoking transformers melting not so much. What actually needed fixing was me, I had to learn the jug is the highest load on site and it's best to unplug some shit if you want to plug it in, to be fair nobody complains about not having power if it's for the smoko jug.
Lol, I've forgotten about cartridge fuses:-) Back in the day when GFI plugs had just started being required a crew pretty much needed a full time numpty to stand by the temp power and trip it back. Tools are a little more weathertite these days but it's still frustrating:-)
GFI 23 minute mark. I'm assuming you are talking what we in Australia would call an RCBO or residual current device (RCD). If my assumption is correct the GFI or RCD's fault out for no reason so job done. Hopefully a 110Volt Sparky can confirm. BTW love the channel lived in Cincinatti for 12 months back in 2000
Love your handle Max:-) Yeah it doesn't take much to trip a GFI (like 5 milli amps). The power to the crane is not the cleanest line either, 200' of power cord and then an onboard buck-boost to level out the euro current it was designed for it only takes a little wind driven rain to unbalance one leg of the 240 enough to trip it. I'm completely unconcerned by disabling it:-)
Lol, it could've been three times that and it still would've been too much trouble to try to move it:-) Keep in mind theres +/-3/8" in a lot of those RS beams so I felt lucky on that one:-)
No insulation on this build Greg. Although at this point it wouldn’t be hard to add some to the highest level but I don’t know if it’s necessary for how it’s gonna be used.
That is the weirdest looking profile of a barn I have ever seen! Is that a kit? Where'd the guy get the plans? This is in the Oregon / Washington area, isn't it? Maybe they build differently there. :-)
Lol, it's a big kit out of the midwest, don't blame it on the PNW:-) Its pretty fly really. It's the perfect barn for the perfect spot. It's just got a good vibe, I'm digging it:-)
Thanks man, good eye btw. If I wen't to 60fps it would overload my entire file, storage and movement ecosystem but maybe someday. The color I'm still working on, the better color is in the timelapse mode and it's the realtime that seems washed out. I changed some stuff to try to counteract the autozoom problem with the watch and I just need to change it all back because I use the watch less now (due to distrust:) Thanks for your thoughts.
Simply amazing work, Jake.
Everything is looking excellent.

Thank you Joe, appreciate you man.
@@ShredPile hey, you’re putting out some great stuff. The content and explanation thereof makes it even better.
Keep it up Jake
👍

Add ‘weight lifter’ when it is easier to manually move stuff than use the forklift or crane!!😂😂😂

Looks like the homeowner was happy with what you did on that upper window's wall. Carry on.
Saving that insect speaks volumes about the type of man you are, thanks for that
Your videos are the highlight of my RUclips life every week. Actually get excited when I see you've posted a video on Thursday evening, lol.
Awesome George, thanks.
I love a good series myself, and it was my intention to provide that back when I started the channel.

Jake the machine! Take care brother..
Good progress Jake! All looks good! Stay well and safe up there!
You got it Robert:-)
Keep going dude imo your the best builder on you tube. Just a matter of time you can do jobs for yourself and supplement with video.
Thanks man!
Any update/pics from the previous build - the modern looking one? That was one heck of a project…..
Just brilliant content Jake, I bet it would be harder to work with someone else!!

Love the understatement… “1/8 over 30 feet, is pretty good” 😂🤣😂🤣.. is actually 0.03%😱

How is the roof insulation going to work?

@@ShredPile and that's good man. I'm kinda used to the Gambrel shape myself.
4K@24 is running ok (wish it was @60) and the editing is great
but the colors are funny =) ?
Cheers mate

I'm glad he was good natured:-)
