- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- For those wondering what I have been up to the last month or so....
Here ya go a 24' x 30' barn, build by myself, with no help. Ok maybe 5% help.....
Check out my RUclips page for a cool little storm shelter build, and other cool farm things
Great build! The way you lifted the trusses was smart. You"re an inspiration.
great job. I respect a man who is not afraid of hard work
I work construction and you my man kick ass. Good job!!!!!
Wow ! I am totally impressed............only one man!
finally, the video ive been looking for.. where you actually show installing the trusses by yourself... you dont play around.. im going to do the same thing..
Didn't show putting in the posts....
I did a video about setting posts by yourself. I put cement in the holes but even if you don’t the process is similar.
Awesome…thanks for the ideas and how you solved issues.
What a man……….be proud…….wonderful job.
Bro you are a rockstar of the barn GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!!👍👍
I'm from Pembroke Massachusetts. I've been a sheetrocker all my life. In the mid-90s we started hanging sheetrock for a developer down in Hanson Massachusetts. And they had a guy that would sub out house frames. For them. All by himself. Bobby Rose. The Legend grows and grows. He would time out all his walls. And his work. Too when he knew there would be other trades on the job or working on the one next door. Ask everybody to come over after lunch. For a half an hour. And he would build a whole level of a house. The most amazing Carpenter I've ever met in my life. Super add. So he couldn't even keep an apprentice he was sad. Bobby Rose Legend grows and grows. The big house builders they got the blue trucks I forget the name. But they're the most legit house builders in town. Used to work with him. Someone tell me if I'm lying
Just vow. Great job
That's gonna be me. Building my barn all by myself!
I'm also a do-it-myselfer....20'x24' garage/shop....from pouring the slab to framing the walls, siding, and roofing, electrical (50 amp sub-panel), all with no help. Just takes a little ingenuity and a strong back. It can be done.
Great job!!! That's a very nice build. So satisfying being able to accomplish so much even with little or no help.
Very resourceful, great job!
As someone who also enjoys doing these types of projects solo, I wanted to congratulate you on your hard work & great job. We built(erected) a 40x75x14 steel building about 16 yrs ago. It has been awesome but it is too small as we have commercial trks. Plan on tearing down & putting up a 50x150(100 enclosed)x18 with 20' lean to's on both sides for 5k sqft enclosed & 7k sqft "shade". Wish I could do it all myself but of course will have to have some help with it for certain parts.
Appreciate the amount of planning you need to put in when you don't have an extra pair of hands.
Looks great.
Wow, good work, great talent you have!
Looks good! Like the old saying goes, want anything done right, gotta do it yourself! LOL
Great job. Thanks for recording and sharing.
Same system on the truss install that I used in building a garage by my self. I also added a spacer on each end on the sill so when I pulled the truss up it was in the right spot.. Good job you learn to get creative when working by yourself.....$1,500.00 dollars cost ???? more like $15,000.00 check your receipts...if you kept them...
I think he built the trusses and decking from scratch. That roof is waving at everyone passing by.
Great Job and very well done
Garry
Just saw this in 2019. Great job!!! I hope the building is serving you well.
Man, that's a great job you did and it really looks good too.
Wow, that's very quick and skillful work! I wish I could do all that myself.
Use a laser
Impressive that you did this by yourself!
I'm glad to see these types of videos! congrats!
You’re a beast man! 😁👍👊💪
Good Job Bubbie!
This is really cool I wouldn't have been able to do this myself good job!
Wow that was a great job! nice barn in the end.
Yup, that's a real man there.
Nice job, and thanks for the video!
great build, thanks for sharing
very cool. I made my own 10X10 barn style shed over a few weekends and it was a very rewarding project. Would love to attempt something on this scale. Congrats.

I'm so impressed! Your video really helped me....not just with tactile info, but more with knowing you just went for it & did it yourself.. I've been psyching myself up to re-do a roof that is falling in & than strengthening an already existing 3 sided horse enclosure.. I've been sooo scared to start as I have little (I.e zero) construction skills... My husband just chuckles & rolls his eyes when I say I want to do this lol.. He thinks the whole thing should be torn down & new structure built instead. But that would be so expensive & my thinking is 'what the heck', we have power tools & I have a brain + I'm sorta strong for a chick, so I'm gonna go for it... I mean what can go wrong, right ;) ;) P.s. IF I get this done??? I'll send u a picture of what I started with & what I turned it into... hopefully that'll be a solid, nice looking 3 sided barn, built from all the scrap & reclaimed wood I've stockpiled... And IF I completely moe-moe it? Well I'll at least send a pix of the bonfire we'll light in celebration for my efforts.. So either way it'll be a win/win :)
You ought to make a video about it.
You are an inspiration!
Wish I had your talent!
Boy great job!
I had no plans, just built off the top of my head. 4x4 posts are about 3 feet in the ground. And I am sorry for the long delay on my shop video, I will work on this soon.
Next time, use a level. Your roof is a mess.
Edward White ouch
Milezone1 approx how much in materials was barn to build? And did you build trusses or buy them made?
Nice barn...one man gang..git er done..
u did such a great job , i respect u , and thanks a lot for this video
Bravo!!
that is a very good job.
For easier raising and also or just for flipping, try using snatch block and rope to help lift into position and clamp on two guide post of 2x4 on each end/side for the truss to slide against so it stays far enough and keep if from sliding against the previous one as you flip said truss upright with pre-nailed purlins for spacing. A Snatch block or two will help reduce the lifting work as opposed to how he did it.
Yes you can set the purlins on top of or between the trusses.
Also check out *RR Buildings* channel for a stage/step by stage/step for first time DIYers who really like more perfection for more helpful tips and hints.
Hope this helps
Proven once more.
Everything is possible, as soon as man stop fearing.
Fearing to do some work.
Fret not. One can do it.
Big hug for everyone over there.
Later gators.
well done..very impressive..
great job man!
Fantastic!
very well done!
Damn good job
Nice looking barn. You did a great job. Does "1 month of weekend work to complete" mean you worked 8-12 hours per day for 4 weekends (8 days x 8-12 hours) with very little help to totally complete this project from start to finish? If so, you have no peers. I want you to come work for me please sir. It would take me 4 weekends to paint the damn thing.
NICE! VERY NICE!
Impressive!!!!
that is amazing. i was wondering how you would stand the trusses up. brilliant
Bravo! only child I see
First class video. I do all, my own work also, I do better by myself.
That's quite a 1-man project! I need a shed because I'm maxed out. I'm just going to get a ready-made eight footer, 10-12' long.
Is the entire structure of 4x4s and 2x4s? This is so impressive. You put a great deal of thinking into this.
That's my kind of guy. This is the way I have to do everything .. but I don't record it since it would be all beeps from editing out all the swearing.
This is the exact size barn I was planning to build. I was concerned about how to handle the trusses, now that's not a problem.
Too bad all the construction steps were not shown, such as how the trusses were secured to the top plate.
The ends of the trusses, where they lay on top of the plate, are not flush to the plate, so how are they attached??
I'd like to use a hurricane strap of sorts.
Nice work if I was in your area I would help I know how it is working by yourself.
This of course is if you know what you are doing
Amazing, and job well done. Did you do all the squaring by yourself too?
I need someone like you to teach this city girl how to do something like this!
I'm buying my first piece of land in the country, starting with almost nothing.
I'll be by myself for at least a year with two dogs, a tent, some cooking supplies, a few battery operated lights, a car and my whits!
Wanted to build something for me and the dogs to live in for the winter.
My husband will join me in about a year, maybe year and a half.
Any suggestions?
One thing we are looking in to, which might interest you is building with cob. Plenty of videos on here about it. Yurts have an interesting structure as well.
He just did. Watch the video again until you get it.
Just a few questions... Did you fulfill your dreams? Any videos on your progress? Why will your husband not join you?
Great Job. I only have to build a goat shed and it takes me longer ;).
Question: What is the music called in the background? Nice song.
Not too sure on the song, I think I pulled it from a free site, but many are made by me with ipad music apps. Not sure if this was one or not? :-)
Milezone1 Thank you. I liked the song. Shame i can't find it anywhere. Would have liked to use it myself. Thanks anyway.
about how much did this cost you? looking at my different options for a build. great vid.
I like this man you are a genius, but me doing this alone ummm its might take a whole of 6mnths
Awesome
Wow good job man, do you not need to worry about the posts rotting that are in the ground or is it very dry where you live ?
Guarantee seeing he buried in concrete with just whatever treatment it has that it will noticeably rot and be a cuss to repair
One month of weekends! Crap, it’d take me one year of weekends.
how much did it all cost for the total what i was going to do is put tin all around the outside and have the board on the side/wall/ and have the boards spaced out far enough so each end and starting piece of tin would be over lapped a little and can be screwed or nailed to the board which one is better and then have a 2 by 6 in the middle on the first row of tin on bottom for strength and then on the inside use some panels we have laying around the farm that i'ant being used on the inside so the cows don't scratch or damage the tin and have the cement that holds the edge poles meaning the poles on the edge of the whole barn 1 1/2 or 2 feet high so i can pick the manure up better then if the cement hight is too small
Nails for shear and screws for tensile;
nail (smooth shank, not ring, can go with spiral for more holding strength) for wood
screw for all sheet metal outside and in
nail (smooth or spiral shank) for roof and siding shingles
If you want more nail pull out resistance then go with spiral shank, but never use ring shank as once they are in they stay in forever and completely impossible to just pull out without causing damage.
Really great video. I will be building my own barn all by myself soon.........Any chance you're going to be in Nova Scotia next month to help? lol
wow the biggest thing ive ever built myself was a lego technic set LOL!!
Looks like 4x4 posts or are those 6x6 ?
He's good
How much did this cost, approximately ?
24 roof panel
more i dont know
Beautiful job!! Nicely done 👍🏼 Can I ask what this project cost you? We are needing to do the same!
Thanks, Jenn Stone

2 feet spacing between roof joists seems overbuilt. Are you in a high snow area?
If you fall down from there and break your leg.....don't come running to me.
What kind of post you use 4x4 or 6x6 and how tall?
Shouldn't the bottom be sealed off to keep out the mice?
Awesome! I'm in the same predicament with little money.How tall is it? DId you have to cut notches on the trusses so they would sit on the walls?
It is 8' tall walls, and I did not notch anything, just used hurricane strips to hold things in place.
Milezone1
Excellent! I need 12-14' walls . I am thinking more of a cattle shed type with a mono sloping roof.
LMAO, built an underground storm shelter and this huge structure all by yourself??? You're a freakin' animal!!!
Wow!!!
So the posts are 4x4? You said they were 3ft in the ground so did you get 4x4x12 and the posts are 9ft above ground? I'd like a tall roof in mine it'll be a garage. And you used osb for the roof, shouldnt plywood be used for durability?
7/16" OSB is used quite often for roof sheathing. It tends to be more forgiving for periods where there is more moisture in the air. It's also very inexpensive. I'd prefer it to be on 16" centers myself, but that's just me. If you're uncomfortable with that, I'd use at least 1/2" fir CDX with at least 4 plies.
If we were both black women I'd say something like, "You go girlfriend!" While I shook my head side to side like a Pakistani and snap my fingers.
But since we're both dudes, I'll do the male equivalent and say, "nice barn".
Hahahaha!
Do you have to put down plywood for the roof before the metal goes up? I was thinking I could just put perlins on the trusses and screw the metal down to that? Thanks for any advice, I'm in the same situation with doing this myself..
Look up channel *RR Buildings* if you already have not heard of them, doing a step by step for DIY folks.
How much did materials run ya?
Panels were lifted with my tractor
DO you need a permit to build this?
No knee bracing on the columns? How is this structure braced other than depending on the ground to provide bracing by the columns being buried?
Johnston and Curtis, in 1984, performed actual testing on post frame buildings with and without knee braces. They concluded, “As loads were increased, the effect of the knee bracing became insignificant.” The study found knee bracing in post frame buildings provides very little support for horizontal loads. Two years later, as a result of their studies, Gebremedian and Woeste concluded, “Knee braces added little stiffness to the post-frame building analyzed."
In all likelihood, pole buildings being proposed as utilizing knee braces are a result of lack of knowledge upon the part of those who are providing the building. The knee braces add no benefit to the overall strength of the structure, while potentially adding loads into the roof trusses, which they were not designed to carry. In the right combination of circumstances, this could result in a catastrophic failure of the building.
So few still think angle braces are still required after a roof is installed, while they are used for spans over 60 foot for support as the roof is being installed, they are more detrimental and can cause damage if not practical to keep attached once the roof is covered as they just become and obstruction in the way if left on.
I wonder if this is still standing.
Yes actually still looks great
How did you get the osb panels on the roof?
how long did it take you to built
All good show a 16 stall barn & 2 feed rooms
wow
Where did you get the plans? Did you buy a kit or buy all materials as you went?
No plans, just put the poles up and went at it. Quite simple to build a barn. Wait til lyou see the 40 x 28 workshop I just build. Video coming soon. :-)
Milezone1 do you have a link?
ObsessionMotorcycles
There are no plans, I just measured 24' one way, and 30' the other, and started building. :-)
+Milezone1 How deep did you put the 4x4 into concrete and did you use concrete footers
+Milezone1 Is your video on youtube for the 40x28 workshop.
What was the total price?
What dose something like that cost in materials ?
+TheWeaver26 it was about $3,000 with dirt and all
