glad you didnt completely mangle yourself... nasty ass fall. Amazing work, such an inspiration. Literally a pick yourself and dust yourself off build. Thank you for sharing.
I have seen many things in my 51 years. You are a perfect example of human excellence. I am impressed on so many levels. "Great job!", does not say enough. You are an inspiration to us all.
As a builder for over 30 years, this is still inspirational. I cringed when you stepped off of the scaffolding. Knew that was going to hurt. Glad you pressed on and was able to get it dried-in 👍🏼
As someone who just spent last summer learning how to build these this build is spectacular and an extended video with commentary would be amazingly useful for me. Can’t wait to see what it looks like at the end of next year.
Lazy your not !! My helper stepped backward off a 24' aluminum plank on ladder jacks ( siding house) luckily it was only at 6' height at the time I heard the thud as he hit ground with tool belt, I came around the corner and he was lying there looking up ??? I said what the hell , he said I STEPPED BACK TO ADMIRE MY WORK forgetting where I was. He was fine.... GREAT JOB>!!!
I have been bored by most You Tube videos lately. I can’t always find ingenuity and talent and I just move along. I was fascinated by this entire build. Your use of the skid steer - outstanding! Most would have used a tele-handler for this kind of work but you made that little Bobcat adequate for the job. And what a time saver to have your lumber cut before the build. Wow! Loved every minute of it!
Bonus points for dragging that nail gun airline along with you... Ramset, Paslode, Milwaukee, DeWalt and the other patron saints of construction say "Take the time to erect the guardrail on your work platforms...", Spend some of the revenue from this interesting clip on a cordless nailgun... you've earned it... look after those wrists... I know how injuries can slow a person down when they're self reliant and practical, but we still get stuff done... just more creative thinking and a slower pace. Really like the use of repurposed materials on a big scale like this...
😮 I did that, walked right out in to the air and off of the scaffolding. Did a face plant on the concrete. Was in the ER for three days. Lots of broken bones. As soon as I saw you fall, instantly got flashbacks. I’m glad you weren’t hurt anymore than you were.
@@ArkopiaRUclips yes indeed , my thoughts as well , You looked into the Camera , and continued with the Shelve , then , You just made a Move into , One step in front , at the Office , Whowww , Happy to see you made it ,
Great build. Shows clearly how to get it done and more. Nice work. Please add all the commentary you can fit to this, folks everywhere will benefit immensely.
Great job! Pillar I’ve been a builder for 45 years and I still love watching others tackle projects like this and come up with great ideas to number one save money to and number two save a ton of time. And labor! I like all your little jigs for the bobcat too! I’ll definitely be checking out more from you. Thanks for posting this.
Holy smokes, man! That fall could have been so much worse. Glad you're okay. The build is awesome! You were cruising along, all right. Good reminder to the rest of us to slow down and pay attention. Thanks for sharing.
Nice to see a good father that will have a son that will always love him. My father would have told me to get out of the way and clean up his trash at the end of the day.
A squirrel in any life would jump and land on its feet from 6’ up with a nut in its mouth and not a scratch on its body. Too bad that didn’t forward. Love the build. Can relate to a lot of what you do, though not nearly as much and I do get my daughter or wife to help at times. Glad you healed.
That lift you made for the metal roofing was a stroke of genius. I wish you had had more detail on how you stood up and installed the truss rafters by yourself. I have built a number of smaller buildings by myself but I have always asked a friend for help when it was time to put the rafters up. I would be interested to see this video with commentary.
Wow! You never cease to amaze! Thank you for sharing your build experience with your internet family. 😀 You got lucky with that fall, glad it wasn’t more serious.
Wowza! (you had the best helper on the planet) Simply amazing. Can you post your commentary video? We are just getting started and would love to hear how/why you did some things you did.
Hey, it says one man. I saw one little man helping out. Lol. For real, though, great job, man. I used to build these and couldn't imagine doing it by myself.
I guarantee everyone said, when you fell, OH FU&K. Dude so glad you didn't get it worst. I know it's not something you would do on a Saturday night but glad your good. Keep up the good work with your kid also.
hello. Respect for your courage working alone. Years ago I worked as a FEMA inspector after Hurricane Andrew in Florida. 20,000 buildings lost their roofs. The roofs joists and trusses were connected with plates and small fasteners similar to your project. The plates failed to hold during the vibrations caused by strong winds. Climates are changing as I now see strong winds in Northern Michigan. I recommend going back and using more bolts through wood connections to tighten thing up. Plates are on my disrespected list.
Awesome build! Another who's been building for over 50 years now and appreciating all of your little shortcuts making work smart and smooth for your self. Although you did invoke the F word when you took the fast way down. What a surprise that was. The length's some take for a thumbs up. . . Glad your OK. Thanks for a great video, looking forward to the one with commentary. Best regards from California.
Looks good , Dean . You'll be happy when you get animals in it on weeks like this. I started kidding this week and am sure happy that i have all my animals inside.
I get that into it when I’m working on something and I usually get hurt. My heart fell when I seen you fall but I knew it wouldn’t stop you for a second because I know you had to show what you are working on who is the boss.
going from 3 plank scaffold to 2 plank. Dang! your body memory was set on that being 3 wide. ugh ouch! It's not the fall that kills you, its the sudden stop at the end of it. :)
Seeing you fall of the scaffolding brought back memories of when I fell off a ladder while working on a pergola roof over my deck. Luckily, I fell on the deck and not the open floor joists or gravel like in your case. I only scraped up my forearm a little, no other injuries except my pride.
Yes sir! Job well done. I have had to build things on my own for many years… you figure it out. Help is hard to find and even though you help others when they need help, but when you need it….crickets! After 25 years of building and special projects with no incidents, broken bones, I fell just like you did building pole barn in the desert. After a 2 hour nap where I landed decided to take a two rest and a visit to the hospital 1.5 hours away. Full scan, no broken bones or fractures but my ribs were bruised and hurt like a some-bleach. Doctor confirmed I am hard headed so now there’s proof! 😂 Get it done right the first time, the second time cost! It is not how and when we fall, it’s how we get back up and move forward. Stay alert! Stay alive! Stay strong! Peace ✌️
I'm glad your ok. It could have been worse. I noticed that all of the scaffolding has 3 boards across except the one you fell off that only has 2 boards across. oh well. Stay safe.
Thank you for showing everyone that accidents happen, when you slow down that does not define age, It defines wisdom and good discernment. Really like that I'm not the only one that taking on a project or two seeming to large, awesome job sir.
Boy it’s a good thing you used your head to break your fall. That’s my motto as well and I can’t remember how many times I went to have stitches and staples put in my head. 🤣🤣
The first part of your job reminds me my first job ...40 years ago and the last part of your work reminds me the actual job. Between this 35 years I do a very completely different job 😅😊
The measure of a man is not determined by his fall but what he does when he gets back up. You built a wooden barn but showed your metal. Great work on a beautiful barn.
Thanks for making all of us feel totally inadequate until the end as it would cost all of us that don’t have the infrastructure built us around us. We have the hand tools and power tools but not skids and everything else. I am happy for you. Really am. Most of us clicked this off your thumbnail. But it was literally playing all news sources games. So on with other news
I built my 20x24 pole building back in 1999 by myself and put osb on the roof and shingles and osb on the sides and siding still standing today use it every day took me 2 weeks
Yes, I would absolutely appreciate a commentary version. Having never built a structure like that, I have some things I wonder about. Also, how did you locate so many components to build with? That is a fortune in lumber these days. The trusses are an especially awesome catch. Your excellent equipment helped immensely.
Did the same thing building my house. Stepped BACKWARDS off a 24" 'gorilla walkboard platform' and landed, butt-first on the pointy tines of my tiller.
I have to say, I am a little bit in awe of your work. I can never get a tarp to last 4 months, how can you make yours last through a Saskabush winter ? and oh yeah more vote for extended version please.
Honestly, sourcing that much discounted but functional material is impressive in and of itself.
No kidding. If I managed to get that amount of supplies discounted it would be 14 different colors and or materials
Thanks a lot for making the rest of us feel totally inadequate. Overachiever.
This would be the video I wish I could have watched when I had to learn pole buildings the hard and slow way. Hope it helps. ✌️
Lol! Right?!?!
Bwahaha😂
He had help! I saw the furry supervisor & the little man in the pajama bottoms!😂
@@ArkopiaRUclips ... Appreciate your taking the trouble to make the vid. Awesome work.
This guy is awesome. Who needs celebrities when you’ve got people like him in the world!
There's nothing like a capable man, his tools, and solitude. We are cut from the same cloth. Well done Brother.
And I sure do respect the man that can Embrace that he's not perfect and we all make mistakes. No shame brother
glad you didnt completely mangle yourself... nasty ass fall. Amazing work, such an inspiration. Literally a pick yourself and dust yourself off build. Thank you for sharing.
I have seen many things in my 51 years. You are a perfect example of human excellence.
I am impressed on so many levels.

You are an inspiration to us all.
Wow. Appreciate those kind words. 🙏💪✌️
As a builder for over 30 years, this is still inspirational. I cringed when you stepped off of the scaffolding. Knew that was going to hurt. Glad you pressed on and was able to get it dried-in 👍🏼
Yeah but did you catch the way he was using the dry line??
Great video great to see what our brothers up north are doing I'm down in Colorado thank you thank you next time you got to wear a hard hat LOL😊😊😊
Youve taken DIY to a whole new level man! I look forward to the bunker build!!!
Jess says can’t start any more projects until I finish everything else. 🤪 Thanks man.
@@ArkopiaRUclips As if that'll ever happen (if you are like me)! I enjoyed your video. Except the fall, that sucked. Nice build.
That nail hack on the rafters was genius 👍👍👍
I work alone 90% of the time. The little tricks to act as a 3rd hand takes a creative mind!
As someone who just spent last summer learning how to build these this build is spectacular and an extended video with commentary would be amazingly useful for me. Can’t wait to see what it looks like at the end of next year.

Hey, really appreciate that. Thanks so much. Nice seeing my work appreciated. 🙏✌️
From someone who has taken a fall off a ladder... you're a bigger man than me because you got back up there. Incredible build.
Yes please to an episode with full commentary. Amazing work!
Will do. 👍
@@ArkopiaRUclipsSecond that! I have property in the Midwest USA and I need this exact barn AND this exact budget haha!
That fall was epic. Still completed the mission. REAL Man ish. SALUTE
some of us are just like that, get hurt, get back up!! good health to you man!! cheers!
Ah, to be young and have a back that could do this kind of work! Well done.

Ouch. Not fun.
One man barn raising- amazing! You make it look easy, thx for documenting and inspiring and being so good with your son, I almost cried…
I love sharpies 😁 Dean am SO HAPPY you were not injured more severely and YES commentary would be AMAZING
Thank you for your videos, I think you should dub these explaining what you're doing and why.
you have done it again 15 days by yourself and still had time to document it. You are definitely the goat 💪🏽
🙏 Drone the end of each day, and just hauling the camera around. I was checking on the damn camera when I fell. Distractions are no good. 👍✌️
@@ArkopiaRUclips yes indeed , my thoughts as well , You looked into the Camera , and continued with the Shelve ,
then , You just made a Move into , One step in front , at the Office , Whowww , Happy to see you made it ,
How deep you put them posts
@psmoser2274
Below the frost line. That far north it’s probably 4’/48”.
Brother Im Glad your Ok and I have just subscribed to your channel for not editing that! Don't Stop Get It Get It!
Great build.
Shows clearly how to get it done and more. Nice work.
Please add all the commentary you can fit to this, folks everywhere will benefit immensely.
I'm glad you're okay, but I feel like you wouldn't have fallen at all if you weren't missing that section of the scaffolding deck! ✊😅
Great job! Pillar I’ve been a builder for 45 years and I still love watching others tackle projects like this and come up with great ideas to number one save money to and number two save a ton of time. And labor! I like all your little jigs for the bobcat too! I’ll definitely be checking out more from you. Thanks for posting this.
I wonder if he could not have had a helper and saved himself a little time.
we all love to save money but most of us can not do much alone.
OMG, you poor thing!!! 😳🥺😖😢😭
May you make a quick recovery back to full health! ❤🙏😇❤🙏😢
Holy smokes, man! That fall could have been so much worse. Glad you're okay. The build is awesome! You were cruising along, all right. Good reminder to the rest of us to slow down and pay attention. Thanks for sharing.
Great job. Post more info. I am looking forward to ordering your smoothies.
Nice to see a good father that will have a son that will always love him. My father would have told me to get out of the way and clean up his trash at the end of the day.
My heart dropped when you stepped off the scaffold. My father fell from not much higher and broke both his legs. Turned out great!
A squirrel in any life would jump and land on its feet from 6’ up with a nut in its mouth and not a scratch on its body. Too bad that didn’t forward.
Love the build. Can relate to a lot of what you do, though not nearly as much and I do get my daughter or wife to help at times.
Glad you healed.
Yup. With gravity I’m like a rock. 🐿️ 🪨
Genius way to build, I’ve built for over 35 years and learned some tricks from you thx
I yeld when you came off the scaffolding. My wife came running bro. I have been there. Good job bus. Wish you all the best.
That lift you made for the metal roofing was a stroke of genius.
I wish you had had more detail on how you stood up and installed the truss rafters by yourself. I have built a number of smaller buildings by myself but I have always asked a friend for help when it was time to put the rafters up.

"Good job team" claps his other hand... what a guy. Wish i could shadow you for 6 months!!
Pro moves with the scaffolding and top notch skid steer driving. I've built MANY pole barns... and we always futzed around w/ ladders.
Thank GOD you didn't get worse from that fall. Respect for showing that! You've got balls. Good work on that build!!!
Wow! You never cease to amaze! Thank you for sharing your build experience with your internet family. 😀 You got lucky with that fall, glad it wasn’t more serious.
Glad you're alright after your injury. Awesome build Sir.
Wowza! (you had the best helper on the planet) Simply amazing. Can you post your commentary video? We are just getting started and would love to hear how/why you did some things you did.
48x48 at a cost of 8K, dude you were a squirrel in a previous life, well done man well done
YES, please make the video to explain! THANK YOU
You make that look easy! Great job and I'm really glad you are okay now that hurt me just watching you fall😢
that skidsteer boom lift thing. now that's the secrect sauce. having the right tools makes all the difference.
Hey, it says one man. I saw one little man helping out. Lol. For real, though, great job, man. I used to build these and couldn't imagine doing it by myself.

Loved this. Thanks for showing how you built it. I did freak when you fell. So very glad you're better
Loved it when you did not have to cut the last run of metal because it came out just right!😄😄
Outstanding work, sir! I'd love to see a video of this build with your commentaries. Many thanks for the upload!
Awesome build! Another who's been building for over 50 years now and appreciating all of your little shortcuts making work smart and smooth for your self. Although you did invoke the F word when you took the fast way down. What a surprise that was. The length's some take for a thumbs up. . .

Congrats on thinking out of the box and coming up with a fantastic, non budget busting barn!
Hated seeing the fall. Glad you weren't too badly hurt.
Looks good , Dean . You'll be happy when you get animals in it on weeks like this. I started kidding this week and am sure happy that i have all my animals inside.
Really looking forward to having it operational. That wall of triple pane south windows will make it toasty. 👍✌️
I’d love to see a video with your commentary!!
Thanks for being upfront about cost and how long it took. Great job. 😊
You are an absolute LEGEND !!
I get that into it when I’m working on something and I usually get hurt. My heart fell when I seen you fall but I knew it wouldn’t stop you for a second because I know you had to show what you are working on who is the boss.
Its nice to see a man with a dream and a brain. can work his ass off and get the job done.
Yes, please add commentary!
going from 3 plank scaffold to 2 plank. Dang! your body memory was set on that being 3 wide. ugh ouch! It's not the fall that kills you, its the sudden stop at the end of it. :)
Amazing! A one man construction crew ( with the exception of the little guy).
You are showing the toughness that I preach to my girls about life and our homestead..

Get it done right the first time, the second time cost!
It is not how and when we fall, it’s how we get back up and move forward.
Stay alert! Stay alive! Stay strong! Peace ✌️
yes Dean, very interested to hear your commentary, thank goodness you are okay, take good care, you are priceless!
I've been talking about building a 4x3 garden shed for two years now....
If my wife sees this video. I'll probably have to start packing my bags...
😂
I'm glad your ok. It could have been worse. I noticed that all of the scaffolding has 3 boards across except the one you fell off that only has 2 boards across. oh well. Stay safe.
Good job team. Funny.
True spirit of will and brains. Well done Sir.
Sydney AUST.
I did the same thing, fell off a 8 ft roof onto a pile of landscaping blocks, broke three vertebrae, got very lucky. Nice job on build.
Ouch
Well done, thanks for sharing.
Love the banjo and the barn ! Absolutely marvellous build with your son’s expertise on the level :)
Glad the fall wasn’t worse - ouch :(
your a smart man doing it by yourself, as when women help =women own , as many men fail to understand this when building things.
Thank you for showing everyone that accidents happen, when you slow down that does not define age, It defines wisdom and good discernment. Really like that I'm not the only one that taking on a project or two seeming to large, awesome job sir.
Thank you so much
You definitely have your head together on this build!! I sincerely appreciate your hard work.
👍👍👍❤️
Be careful up there!!
Boy it’s a good thing you used your head to break your fall. That’s my motto as well and I can’t remember how many times I went to have stitches and staples put in my head. 🤣🤣
Such an amazing individual. Glad your injuries weren't worse.
The first part of your job reminds me my first job ...40 years ago and the last part of your work reminds me the actual job. Between this 35 years I do a very completely different job 😅😊
The fall never hurts. The sudden stop will hurt more often than not. Been there done that like the video glad to see your still at it
I would appreaciate the commentary! Thank you and good luck healing!
Your skill and determination are truly astounding! So glad you were not hurt any worse. God was truly merciful to you!
What to say, you’ve a skill set that is quite impressive. The accuracy you had maneuvering this lifter and positioning these beams was incredible
Working through injuries and solo at that. GOD loves a man that lives by the sweat of his brow.
The measure of a man is not determined by his fall but what he does when he gets back up. You built a wooden barn but showed your metal. Great work on a beautiful barn.
I love your jig use. I'm all about that too.
Super fun video. Shocked when you got hurt, but loved watching you recover.
Thanks for making all of us feel totally inadequate until the end as it would cost all of us that don’t have the infrastructure built us around us.

But it was literally playing all news sources games. So on with other news
I built my 20x24 pole building back in 1999 by myself and put osb on the roof and shingles and osb on the sides and siding still standing today use it every day took me 2 weeks
Yes, I would absolutely appreciate a commentary version. Having never built a structure like that, I have some things I wonder about.
Also, how did you locate so many components to build with? That is a fortune in lumber these days. The trusses are an especially awesome catch.
Your excellent equipment helped immensely.
Did the same thing building my house. Stepped BACKWARDS off a 24" 'gorilla walkboard platform' and landed, butt-first on the pointy tines of my tiller.
Ouch
I have to say, I am a little bit in awe of your work.
I can never get a tarp to last 4 months, how can you make yours last through a Saskabush winter ?
and oh yeah more vote for extended version please.
Insulated tarps are decent quality, and it’s attached to the framing really well that it doesn’t flap and move around👍
One and a half Men! Great team work!
