- Опубликовано: 25 окт 2024
- The silo renovation is moving along with a huge milestone reached in this video. It's not easy building a “floating” circular floor especially with a cool added feature on each level.
My husband and I have been talking about redoing a silo on some property we bought five years ago. He told me recently that he was getting ready to start. So glad I found your channel!
That’s great! Hopefully our content helps you out!
These guys are fearlessly creative and a pure joy to watch. After a lifetime in construction, I have never seen anything quite like this project, and seldom to this level of skill.
Thanks! Always trying to improve our craftsmanship and this project is certainly putting us to the test. Thanks for watching!
Growing up I helped my grandfather build houses, he knew everything about building anything, he was born in 1891. After I got out of the army I didn't stay with carpentry because it wasn't exciting, big mistake, the work is so satisfying. I enjoy watching your work it reminds me of my grandfathers skill.
Thank you for your services! We love carpentry, it truly is a passion of ours and try to learn a little bit more each day! Thanks for watching!
This is one of the coolest projects on RUclips right now.
I own a barn with a silo I am starting to renovate. I watched intently to see how you put the floor in. Thank you for solving one of the puzzles for me.
Awesome to hear! Feel free to reach out with any questions. Thanks for watching!
Been a carpenter all of my life ( 50 ) years.
It’s great fun watching you design and build.
It’s also nice to see the non stop energy you both have.
Great work ! 👍
I just want to take this opportunity to tell you how much your channel is appreciated. Found it recently and enjoy your content. I actually watch several channels, mostly farming, all hosted by young people. If anyone gets discouraged with the goings on in the world today only need to watch channels like yours to realize that there are multitudes of young people who get it. They have the determination, grit and fortitude to learn a skill and apply it. And lots of integrity to boot. You guys are no exception. Some have commented on some past videos what the big deal is, lots of people have built structures like yours. They miss the point. You are building this, not them, and learning and growing in your trade and craft. If I had a turn of the century stone silo on my property I would commission and hire you on the spot, to do the same. Truly wish you Godspeed in all your future endeavours, looking forward to more projects in the future. Thank you.
Appreciate the kind words! Definitely not easy at times and certainly a learning experience but comments like these make it worth it. Even the not so great comments make us want to prove them wrong but ultimately what you guys see us doing is what we genuinely like to do. Stay tuned for what’s coming next…God Bless
Just found your channel two days ago. And have just finished watching everyone of your vids. What you guys do is absolutely brilliant. I think it is definitely one of the best channels out there. Well done. Love what you have done so far can’t wait to see more.
Cheers from New Zealand
I had no idea I wanted to watch this, but RUclips decided I might, and wow, what an interesting project. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Me too. Sometimes YT gets it right!
25 year carpenter myself. It’s rare to get to work on projects like this. Scribing joy!
I only noticed one thing I would have done different. When you built the mortise/tenon for the tread/stringer… I would suggest milling into the stringer the whole depth of tread so the front edge is supported. You can still have the “through mortise” running through the stringer. Really looks great how you did it.
I know I cracked at least one bull nose on basement steps while I was walking up. It was at least 30 years ago, it was my buddies new house, I still remember hearing it crack. He was in that house at least ten years and as far as I know it never snapped off. I always made sure not to walk on the edge of the steps after that.
Very impressed by your attention to detail and, your craftsmanship 😁👌👌👌👌❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you! Cheers!
Favorite project on RUclips rn. You all are getting after it! +1 for the spiral staircase too. Looking great guys!
You guys are excellent carpenters. I love this series, can't wait for the next episode.
Your YT content is as good as your craftsmanship. Great watching. Thank you.
Hello from Moosomin,Saskatchewan,Canada you have great videos and great at communicating. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Hello from Scotland! Love it when you find a new channel like this - such good production quality. You guys are going places.
Don't know who the brain of the operation is but you guys do some amazing design and work. That roof is spectacular...
You boys are killing it! Love this content, anticipating the next video! Your channel reminds me of the Rainfall Projects channel - He's another country boy doing amazing projects.
Thanks! Yeah that is a great channel. Always cool to see people doing what they like to do
I love Rainfall projects too but he rarely releases new videos. Wonder why? I figure youtube takes up a lot of time and his wife and farm requiring most of his time.
I think personally I would have put insulation in the floors to help the levels regulate their temperatures so the owner can more comfortably use it all year round without shelling out a fortune to heat or cool it. Then again I’m someone who freezes year round so keeping things cozy year round is import to me lol. I love the look of the old barn wood it has amazing character and really brings a beautiful rustic element to contrast beautifully with the new timber used to make the roof. I can’t wait to see the final look once it’s all trimmed out and decorated!
With past experience on the first silo we remodeled, we learned that with having the heat source on the bottom floor, the key is to allow the heat to rise as easily as possible hence the opening in the middle of the floor and we also did not insulate the floors in order to help the heat rise as well, Thanks for admiring our work, its much appreciated!
You guys do beautiful work. I also like the time you spend on projects. Enough to show some detail of what you are doing but not so much that it gets boring, and you get to see the progress at a great clip. Great work!
I think this might be one of the most beautiful builds I've seen in a long time. The simplicity is breathtaking, you guys rock and I'm really excited to keep on watching... Greetings from Iceland 👌🙏
Thanks, Much appreciated! Greetings from Wisconsin, USA!
Cool project. You guys are doing a great job 👏 👍
A wood staircase that curves along with the outside of the silo. That would look awesome. treads coming right out of the exterior stone.
That would look sweet! We thought about doing that but with our weather seasons constantly changing from rain to snow to sun it would not be the best option if we wanted to get between floors regardless of the weather. We thought about doing it on the inside too but that would take up quite a bit of space. Thanks for watching!
Awesome job to everyone involved..
Nice touch with closing the gap with a pipe clamp.
Awesome job. You make it look easy.
Superb craftsmanship, love it
Very cool! I grew up on a farm and we considered turning our silos into residences but ultimately had them knocked down. I run a Design/Build business now and it's cool to think I might get to do one someday. I have to say, I would have preferred to cap the top edge of the last riser with the floorboard, rather then exposing it as you did. It would also help the deep notch aspect ratios with that tiny strip that's left, as it would be wider. I like the end grain of the stringers showing, but seems like a little change there otherwise would be win-win? No insult intended, subbed!
Thanks! Not a bad idea and probably would’ve looked nicer doing it that way. We’ll have to consider that next time we do something similar. Hope you get a chance to deign/build one of these someday. It’s a bummer to see a lot of them torn down but with the right vision they can be turned into something cool!
Amazing work. Looking forward for the next one 👍🤓🇫🇷
Marvellous work and great that you are saving and reusing heritage! You should have a look at Coldwar mercantile- he’s taken on a 1916 Browns Shoe factory. A crossover between the two of your channels could be awesome.
Thanks! We’ll check him out. Old industrial building renovations are awesome to watch and something we hope to take on as well
Really loving the entire series and it’s interesting to see how construction styles change around the country. I’m curious why I have not seen a nail gun used including on your flooring. And we certainly got to help somebody learn how to pronounce tenon 😂😂 keep on rocking guys
We like to use screws when it comes to old barn wood as it tends to have a warp, bow, or cup to it so screws help hold them down better but we did use nail guns for all the cedars board we put up. Yes, we did get into a bad habit of pronouncing tenon and now it's stuck with us, we're working on it haha, thanks for watching!
Appreciate the shout out. If 99% of the guys out there were as dedicated and had the craftsmanship you do we would all be better. Never forget. TENON 🤣🤣🤣
What a cool project, recently found this channel and getting caught up. Cool design ideas and great craftsmanship.
Thanks!
Awesome job! Test out spiral stairs first. If you have them in a place you use them all the time spiral can drive you nuts! ! Just a thought! 👍👍👍
Thanks! Yeah we’ve used them before and they can be annoying at times. We might attempt to make our own spiral stairs out of large timbers but wider and longer than average spiral stairs so they’re easier to use.
Your channel is right up my alley, I love watching something physical being constructed from someones imagination. You're very skilled! Shocked you dont have more followers (you deserve it). I just subscribed - cant wait to see more!! 🥰
Heck yeah . Just found your channel. Loving it . Got alot to watch. Keep it up guys
Amazing efforts for a innovative build
Thank you!
Buddy, I want to let you know something. I went to great lengths to find your channel to see the process after watching a short clip on Facebook yesterday that was narrated by AI. I never imagined that you would have documented it so wonderfully and thoroughly.
That being said, I also never imagined that you would sound more like Ray Romano than Ray Romano. I don’t know, it’s 4:30 in the morning and I’m pretty drunk, maybe I’m just imagining things 😉
Hahaha glad you're enjoying the content and we will keep it coming! Thanks
Love the project I think a spiral staircase would complement the silo
Thanks! Yea the plan is to build our own spiral staircase in the front entrance area and then a ladder shoot from the middle floor to the top floor to help save space
I think you get more satisfaction from remodeling something old than building new,make sure you video the staircase build
great work
1:31 slim glass panels would of been nice here. Look at the light shine up the ceiling, you can see the difference here 1:31. half is blocked with wood / half has light shinning up
Tune in for the next video when we add windows….Thanks for watching!
it was worth insulating the floor 😊
What s isolating all that lumber from moisture in the concrete?
We used marine grade sealer on all the lumber that is against concrete and mortar. For the rafters notched into the side of the silo we used sealer and ice/water tape. We still need to come back and caulk around the bottom of the large timbers standing on the concrete to prevent water from getting underneath.
Around here (Vancouver B.C.) Excavator /contractor guys just raze old houses. It's a damned shame that so much old growth wood turns into splinters. I mean to say it's actually a crime. When people build from the heart to make something of lasting beauty that old wood is not only the story of an ancient forest and people that lived in harmony with it but it's density, tightness of grain and beautiful colour is seldom seen in new buildings. It's important to learn about all the things you might run into taking an old building apart: asbestos in lathe and plaster and gyproc mud, ceiling spackle and knob and tube wiring, asbestos siding, vermiculite etc but it's absolutely worth the bother.
I don't know how you guys took that flooring out 😮 but I found that roughly 16" long wedges going from nothing to 1 3/4" or so made from old fir and driven under 3/4 x 3 1/2" fir flooring from the groove side works awesomely to take them out.
Just started watching your videos here. First thing I wished you could have done differently was when I saw you install the blocking between your bird-mouthed beam tails. The natural light on the underside of the roof planks was a big part of the appeal. I wish you had put some sealed glass units in instead- angling them so you see a minimal amount of glass and mostly wood. I think it would have had an amazing effect.
It's inspiring to see you guys working together. I'm getting older at 63 but watching you guys makes me feel 25 again.
The other thing I started thinking about watching your video here was how buildings used to be constructed. That's a pretty general way to refer to something but I pictured old hewn beams covered in rough dimension planking making up the separate floor levels in your "Silo." Of course building within a budget and suiting the purpose is important. You aren't constructing a bell tower and it's great that you get people like me thinking about historical building techniques and the like.
It would be awesome if you all got sponsored to become architects and kept up the hands on build videos. There are a lot of amazing places out there with incredible examples of early architecture and build designs. I hope you continue to get and keep working on big ideas. It's rare to see a bunch of guys getting along and accomplishing so much and doing it for the love of doing it. You will probably never get tired of it. Godspeed! Make your Grandpa's proud!
Thank you very much! We definitely would love to go above and beyond on some of our projects but like always we are pretty constricted by the budget. We love what we do and doing it with family makes it that much better! Thanks for watching and God Bless!
I think maybe the hole in the floor would be nice if it matched the shape of the roof
makes me want to quit designing "squarish-things" !! VERY-impressive, ALL of it. thanks, and buona fortuna!! btw...I'm a big-believer in PT-adjacent-to-masonry / or where exterior-placed. just sayin' :-)))
Wish you guys had done a spiral staircase around the wall instead of a ladder. Woulda been so much safer and accessible. Great job tho!
My grandfather didn't do guards either. Till the circ saw went into his thigh.
I think i would of proped up pilars or installed hangers against the stone walls and made floors for wider building using the silo as a center structure .Probably 6 stone columns around the structure or make it square with large living room on the top floor . Also utilise the silo for aircondition, food storage room. With small fire place on the top floor. And natural gas heating on the lower floors .
I identify as wanna be genius.😂😂
cool

Will the outside platform be enclosed or exposed to the weather?
We will be enclosing it with walls and windows in the next video. Thanks for watching!
You’re getting closer to saying tenon correctly. Not quite there yet
Haha I know, it’s a bad habit
Great work , love the silo. What is holding up the silo floor? Hope it's secure and safe.
Joist hangers anchored to the stone using four inch stainless steel tapcons are what’s holding all the joists up. With the blocking in between the floors are solid and aren’t going anywhere. Thanks for watching!
I was concerned the old mortar was sorta loose but I saw you install the bottom floor and looks secure. You guys are the experts. Can't wait until it's finished, it's going to be a great hangout. It's not got airbnb potential does it??
upside down sanding on a wobbly lift 🤣 This should be a "why do women live longer than men" short haha... great effort, the thing is beautiful. Whats it going to be used for?
Hahah ya we like to test our limits, this will be used as an entertaining space with a bar and lounge area, thanks for watching!
You should put stair on the out side to save space in side
We thought about doing that but with our weather seasons constantly changing from rain to snow to sun it would be difficult to get between floors at times depending on the weather. Thanks for watching!
run the spiral staircase up around the outside...!
Not a bad idea but unfortunately in our climate we get some very cold and snowy winters so to have something indoors to get between the levels was a must. Thanks for watching!
Wood can push a stone wall (your wood which is dry will take moisture from the wall or from the air you exhale and it will swell), this is why it is necessary to provide a few millimeters of space between the wood and the wall, which in all cases will be hidden by the plinths

lol thank you!
You guys not professional??? I think you are professionals exelent job 👌👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you!
He guys, do you guys work on the farm or are fulltime youtubers?
Hello, we work on the farm but own a small construction company. RUclips is something we just recently got into
Great work!
And is this for,a client or is it at your ho,e?
Thanks! It’s a family member’s silo which we mostly work on during the weekends. We’re all brothers in the videos working on it together.
@@Worzalla_Brothers That’s terrific x 2!
I do wish you would wear safety glasses!
Interesting job with the silo construction. However, you may not have the experience, but you laid the plywood subfloor on the first floor [that goes out to the roof deck] in wrong direction. The grain of plywood aways goes at a ninety degree direction to the supporting framing member that it is laid on. All Building Codes require that. A lot of RUclipsr builders make that mistake. Sorry, as I know you did this some time ago probably without inspections in your area.
Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated!
why would you block the sun like that? why not circular stairs? I know it's not me but I would use them and leave the gap empty for the light
I would have insulated the floor or ceiling which ever way you want to look at it.
It's ok at best (lol)
😇😎😇
You guys should consider better safety practises.
every video lmfao 😂
Custom Couches? You didn't even insulate the floor? Why miss that? You must like it cold!
The top floor and first floor are both interior floors so there’s really no need to insulate other than to help with sound dampening but there won’t be much movement on either floor. We’ll be working on enclosing the main entrance area with walls, windows and doors in the next video so the entire inside of the silo will be closed off to the outside. Thanks for watching!
Maybe im not understanding on how guys talk to each other, but the guy thats doing the narrative seems to be kind of bossy. " Dont show up for work if y o u dont get the bird?" There's been other little things like that too... ??? Either im not getting it or someone thinks they hav e power and no tact...
lol ya sometimes we talk a bit of jibberish but we are typically just joking around with our brothers it’s how we bond with each other, we come from a big family!
Is there a reason why you both sound like Arnold Schwarzenegger?
Hahaha we’ve never been told that one before but I guess now that I listen to ourselves, we do kinda! Thanks for watching!
😂
Bcz its the USA
So cool
