Love you, love your content. I especially love watching the process of a genius at work. I'd meant to write you earlier however, no barn would be complete without its own "Rosenfeld Owl."
So glad you're enjoying the channel! You know, funny you should mention owls but I was sort of tossing around the idea for an owl box at the very highest point of my barn overhang just tucked behind the barge rafters. it's the perfect height for a nest and still in the shady trees. That might be a way to include an owl into this build as well. Its the right height too and in a well established forest. What barn would be complete without it's own rodent control service? :-)
I know. There’s a silly season here for a couple weeks where we avoid it until we remember that it’s inevitable and just go about our business. :-) Another reason is that it’s really too hot for rain gear still which makes it miserable
Jake you are doing a fantastic job, you pre-plan everything down to the last detail and that’s down to you being a skilled tradesman. Once again enjoyed this video and can’t wait for the next one.
Hey Jake You have been a busy man! I really enjoy watching everything go up and it’s square and parallel to everything else. I’m seen a lot of construction where things didn’t end the way it was supposed to. Glad to see you wear your harness, I know it can’t always be worn. Keep up the great job, I’ll be looking for your next video. Take care 👍
I repeat, the way you work makes it seem easy, you prepare everything in order to be used, there are many workers who should learn by watching your videos, I am just a Brazilian who likes to watch people, subjects and intelligent facts, your work is spectacular, find a connector to design a tool, you have an admirer in Brazil.
Great progress Jake. I'm sure you think its slow but its obvious the time required to do the quality work that you produce! I thought you guys in Oregon loved working in the rain..lol A friend was a builder out in Astoria and he said the rain was just something you enjoyed every day! Maybe that is why he moved to Texas...LOL Great video! Until your next!
Alright, we have a bone to pick with you. #1 we're completely caught up with you on your videos. Loving them! Only 1 problem, we've gone back to continue watching some of our other youtube builders etc. and I found myself saying outloud to my husband, "Omg! Jake would have run rings around this"..."This is so simple compared to Jake's videos. "Holy crap, Jake's work space is spotless and orhanized" I can't watch this, Jake has ruined all other videos, lol! We bow to Jake! Your the master, lol! Keep it up, love From SW Ontario!
Haha Awesome! This made me a little nervous just now because I was just thinking the jobsite was getting a little messy. Gonna have to go thru it again first thing in the morning:-) See you on Thursday!
Said it before and will say it again... really admire how much prep you do before moving the materials up on the roof. Saves time and makes it safer. Also, I think you could modify your scaffolding brackets you made by notching out the inside edgeof back board and putting a longer piece of 2x4 crosswise that hangs down lower than the top edge of the gurt so the wide face of the 2x4 sits against the gurt to stabilize the bracket. Hope that made sense, lol.
Thanks George, yeah stability for those brackets was on my mind but I figured I’d let it develop. In the next episode, you’ll see me move the back board down a couple inches so that it hooks both girts and you have to twist it in. If I had more to do, I probably would change them, but I’m done with them now because the highest parts were done off the forklift.
I see new products being used on YT. Most aren't readily available here. Tried Peel and Stick as a stop gap fifteen years ago. Worked OK for about a year. Then failed when the different coefficients of expansion caught up with it. Wrinkles appeared along with associated leaks. It was a dead flat roof. I use Grace Ice And Water Shield under steel with good luck depending on underside ventilation and drying as I use the Grace for 100% coverage under the standing seam. Only problem is it needs to be a dry day above freezing to lay it properly. And God help you if it flips back on itself. It really sticks!!
Never easy working around the weather and sub-contractors that are not available when needed (eg roofer). Having a plan B sure helps. Fingers crossed for some dry weather to finish the roof
In a pinch like that, have you thought of using rolls of the cheap Tyvek. They go on quickly and hold well in wind with minimal fasteners. Shed water pretty well and if you want I do not think it would hurt anything if you covered it with felt should you feel the need.
Hey Jake I know the ladder you made to climb up and down is hooked to the crane to help move it over but have you noticed from the lower level looking up to the ridge the attachment buckle looks like a red heart balloon? Haha. Love your videos.
Lol, sounds like Bruce:-) The roof will be mechanical lock standing seam- 16" panels. Gutters on the lowest parts but not on the upper parts. No solar and the intended use is shop/storage/tractor and equipment storage. No critters in this building:-)
Hi Jake, Really looking great I can just image how much work that is. When I put up some Log Homes I always had a minimum crew of 3 plus my self. Your Cap Nailer, what brand is that? I have been thinking about getting one to paper the roof before shingles. Thank you Ron USCG RET
@@ronalves9118 thanks Ron! The cap nailer is stinger brand and that one belongs to the roofer. I have a cap stapler that I think is a duo fast. I think the stapler holds better, but the cap nailer leaks less around the caps if you’re using it on the roof. If you just have the one job to do, you might look at the cap staplers that are basically hammer tackers with the cap attachment. I think stinger makes them and they work extremely well.
@@ShredPile Thank you very much. Yes only one new job coming up, and that will be a new pole barn for my work shop as soon as I find a new place to live. Ron
I gotta know. What is the make/model of your mobile self erecting crane? I also do a lot of 1-man jobs and this is a real game changer for me. thanks for the videos and keep up the good work!
Oh yeah, It's a Benedini B618. 59' reach, 50' under the hook +/-. Max lift 2200# from 12'r to 37'r and decreasing from there to 1300# at the full 59' For reference a 30' 5.5 x 18 glulam is about 700#. Its 30' long flolded up. machine weight is a touch over 10k pounds and there is 20k pounds of removable counterweight in the form of 10- 2k# blocks. It's at the very small end of this type of machine and it was sort of an orphaned unit at company that dealt with other brands that they acquired as they absorbed another company. There is a pretty solid 10 brands that have established themselves in the US and this brand probably isn't one of them but if you just youtube up 'self errecting tower crane' you'll find tons of info and examples in Europe which is light years ahead of us here in use, acceptance, frequency and adaptations. It has been a total game changer for me, doesn't work on every job for everything but what it can do is mindbending. Happy to answer any specific questions you might have if it's easier to hit me up thru the channels email.
Is that going to be a metal roof and/or solar paneled? I forget why I asked that, but I think it had something to do with the angles or the overhangs😂 Livestock barn or Hay barn?
The reason I nitpick about wrong words is because I am a teacher and have been one for 45 years. From time to time I realize that something I taught was wrong. Can't go back and fix that. You Tube is such a new venue, and many people are posting things that are just wrong, and so a lot of folks are affected. Not just a classroom with 30 kids in it, but a classroom with 5000 kids in it. Not good.
You can ask any of my friends Glen, i’m that guy too :-). With the exception of the words I get wrong of course. One of my pet peeves is when a word gets misused or incorrectly used for so long. It becomes the new definition. The word moot is a prime example of that.

Another great video. Ducking the rain. Watching you build the modern house got use to you working in rain gear all the time 🤣
I know. There’s a silly season here for a couple weeks where we avoid it until we remember that it’s inevitable and just go about our business. :-)
Another reason is that it’s really too hot for rain gear still which makes it miserable

@@MichaelSmith-xm7ll thanks Michael! I appreciate it but if you watch close it’s pretty clear I’m just winging it sometimes:-)
Jake, you are the man. Well done 👍. Never tire of observing your thought process.
Thanks Paul!
Hey Jake
You have been a busy man!
I really enjoy watching everything go up and it’s square and parallel to everything else.
I’m seen a lot of construction where things didn’t end the way it was supposed to.
Glad to see you wear your harness, I know it can’t always be worn.
Keep up the great job, I’ll be looking for your next video.
Take care
👍
Right on Joe, thanks. I do wear it from time to time and sometimes it's on camera for proof:-)
@@ShredPile 👍😀
Thanks for another great video, you seem to battle the weather at all times of year. Hope you get the clear days next week to get the roof on.
my pleasure mark, it did clear up but man a week after that it let loose!

We do love it! I was just worried about getting that pine ceiling wet with the osb sandwiched on there....:-)

you will never find that kind of builds any more and your craftmanship is excusite
Thanks man!
Big job and it is looking fantastic.
Closer to done every day!
As always. Good video
Thanks Steve!
Nice. Cooler weather has arrived here in Central Washington. 70's.
Same here, It's pretty sweet.

Your work and efficiency are enjoyable watch!
Thank you sir!
@@ShredPile you’re welcome, I look forward to your videos to come!
Never easy working around the weather and sub-contractors that are not available when needed (eg roofer). Having a plan B sure helps. Fingers crossed for some dry weather to finish the roof
I believe I could learn from this guy
Great work 💪
Staging each package of the cut plywood for the roof on the ground sure saved a lot of work at height...
It sure did, nearly broke my brain getting the order right on the ground though:-)
In a pinch like that, have you thought of using rolls of the cheap Tyvek. They go on quickly and hold well in wind with minimal fasteners. Shed water pretty well and if you want I do not think it would hurt anything if you covered it with felt should you feel the need.
Hey Jake I know the ladder you made to climb up and down is hooked to the crane to help move it over but have you noticed from the lower level looking up to the ridge the attachment buckle looks like a red heart balloon? Haha. Love your videos.
You're totally right! I see it now.
I also see a face and I think I'm going to splurge on a pair of 4" googly eyes for it to really set it off.:-)
Hi Jake any update on the modern house? Great work as always thanks
Bruce says "typical chic question."😂
Lol, sounds like Bruce:-) The roof will be mechanical lock standing seam- 16" panels. Gutters on the lowest parts but not on the upper parts. No solar and the intended use is shop/storage/tractor and equipment storage. No critters in this building:-)
If I ever build my cabin...I would like to use 2" tongue and groove like you did over beams. My loft floor and finished ceiling underneath.
Thats a great look, Pretty easy to put polyiso insulation on top of it to insulate the roof too.
How's the modern house coming along. I was hoping you were going to finish that place off?

Hi Jake, have you ever flown using your crane? Who needs a ladder!
Yes....:-) Not recommended, will not soon repeat, do not attempt :-)
Is that going to be a metal roof and/or solar paneled? I forget why I asked that, but I think it had something to do with the angles or the overhangs😂 Livestock barn or Hay barn?
So gute Handwerker sieht man selten.

Cancel the previous, I see you are not using felt.
Hadn't used this brand of synthetic before, there seems to be an asphaltic element to it and it installs extremely well.
Hi Jake any update on the modern house? Great work as always thanks
Not quite there yet. Almost to handrails though.
