Building The World’s Most Insane Silo Roof…Custom Made Timber Frame | Silo Renovation Pt. 12

- Building a handmade timber frame structure isn’t easy and turns out assembling it 30 feet in the air on top of a 115+ year old fieldstone silo only made it more difficult! Watch to see how it all came together and feel free to reach out for dimensional plans if interested.
Not often you see this type of craftsmanship without some old timer involved. Very impressive!
What the heck, that’s absolutely “Over The Top!” Well done guys, well done!
Das ist kein Scheunendach. Für das kleine Dächlein ist das Holz in Ordnung. Jungs ihr seid die größten.👍👍👍
It's great to see some old-time craftsmanship going on! If it's not too late, I'd like to suggest that when you mortar the gap at the top of the wall, you do like our European brothers and make a lime mortar out of lime and sand. It makes a softer mortar which will allow the timber and the masonry to dry out after they get wet. A lot of their structures were mistakenly covered in the 1960s with cement, causing a lot of timber frames to rot. Wood and cement do not mix well.
You are absolutely correct, we use a lime/cement mortar mix. Our winters are pretty harsh where we are located so we need the mixture to give it some durability, just waiting on a warm up in weather to finally get it mortared. Thanks for watching!
Great work, good use of an old silo, wish they would stop tearing them down
We totally agree, we love bringing these old structure back to life with a new purpose! Thanks for watching
Excellent carpentry and brilliant roof 👍
Thank you!
What a precise work👍Healthy hands to all of you guys
Very impressive, the pre cut beams worked out great !! And a good use of the ratchet straps. Well done indeed.
@peterhodges6684. Thanks! Yeah precutting and assembling everything on the ground first definitely saved us a lot of time. The straps worked out awesome! It was cool to watch the king post lift off the scaffolding when we ratcheted the rafters together
A masterpiece 👍😎🇫🇷
That is looking incredible, well done. That roof is a piece of art, and the cap looks beautiful.👍👏👏👏
Great result and quality timber and workmanship! Exciting!
Well done guys, good looking roof.
Awesome work. This is a huge feat to tackle up in the air. The three months of hard work paid off!
@Thejakegee yeah assembling this up there added an extra layer of difficulty. Glad it all came together nicely though! Thanks for watching!
What a fun job! Glad I found your site. Be safe up there.
@Windstonemtn thanks for subscribing! Lot more to come with this project and others we’re planning out right now.
Yall are killing it, beautiful work. The ash yall used looks pretty clear, would of expected to see some boring holes from the ash borer but looks like you found some choice stuff. Personally, i would of probably laid some tar paper or joist tape between the concrete & post contact but hopefully that far up, moisture in the concrete will be minimal.
Yes we were able to find some ash with minimal bore damage but most of it is in the sap wood which is pretty much milled off. We did use a marine sealer on the wood that is touching concrete and we also have a large overhang on the roof that should keep most of the elements off the top ledge but good call, we will definitely look into tar paper in the future or ice and water. Thanks for watching!
Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship guys, well done!!!
Thank you!
Nice work!
What the hell did we do before TimberLoks and impact drivers?! I mean, I know we got BY, but these are SO MUCH BETTER.
Well done Gents
Great job!
Very nice work! Looking forward to seeing the rest.
I am glad that I found your channel. May I ask what are your future plans for the inside? You have gotten my attention.
Glad you found us as well! We are planning on making a bar at the bottom, a sports/movie watching hangout on the second floor and a lounge seating area at the top. Thanks for watching!
Very cool
Wow. How did you learn to do all of this? Amazing craftsmanship. Congratulations guys.
Thanks! Mostly been building since we were young but we’ll also check out new ways and ideas for how to do things online.
So cool!
Laying down roofing at night! Whew.. Good on ya, but dang. That's got to be one of the craziest things I've seen. What a project!
@thechadwick22 thanks! We’ve been working on this project mostly weekends/nights and with a nice stretch of weather (above 30 degrees and not raining or snowing) we had to hit it hard some nights. It helped having all the metal panels pre-cut and labeled so we were able to get the large panels on one night and do all the trim and finish work the next days.
Right? Jesus. I don’t like doing it in broad daylight!
You guys are absolute studs! Makes me excited for you from my desk lol. Stay safe and keep doing exactly what you're doing. One of my favorite projects period!
It's all fun and games when we have all the latest gizmo's and gadgets. Now think back just a hundred years ago. This is our world for awhile.
That ain't gone no where.
Nice work! You don't need 'spectactular' videotitles, your work speeks for itself!
Thank you!
Well done boys that's impressive. Goodwork! You've earned a new sub
Thanks!
You guys get an A+ in the “having a pair” column but take fall protection seriously. All this talent doesn’t mean anything when it’s locked in the head of a quadriplegic.
Fanciest outdoor Biffy I have ever seen ! Complete with open top ventilation and whats amazing is that it is truly a Brick Shite House 😄
Glad you like it! We will actually be putting some windows around the top to utilize it all four seasons as well, thanks for watching!
Such fine skills you guys have. BTW how many time has someone fell 2 the ground? 😬
Haven’t fallen yet thankfully, we are typically very careful but occasionally we are forgetful on safety precautions but we always working on getting better! Thanks for watching!
Is the construction of the floor/deck sturdy enough?
Hi @georgegordonbrown9522 yeah the top floor should be plenty sturdy. For the joists we used 2x8’s spaced 16 inches on center with both sides anchored to the stone/mortar using steel hangers. There were a bunch of large granite stones used to build this silo which we screwed most of the anchors through so it shouldn't be going anywhere.
Awesome build! Question: what software do you use for the design?
Thanks! We use Shaper 3D for these specialty projects.
Das sieht alles sehr gut aus. Nur warum so große klauen an den gradsparren?👍👍🇩🇪
@thomasschafer7268 thanks! We’re not quite sure what you mean by “claws” but if you’re referring to the overhang of the rafters we wanted the roof to come out past the stone silo cap so water and snow wouldn’t collect on the cap right in front of where the windows will be.
I hate these clickbait titles : nothing impossible nor insane about that frame, here in Europe they're common !
Stop being so hateful. Say something nice, or nothing at all. It’s still great work for those who are handymen. Blessings.
Well this ain't in urop so go pound sand ifen ya don't like it.
Thanks for the warning
Americans do “always super work”. I am just stunned by the cracked / split wood they used. 😮Seriously? For a roof?
@@holgermessner851 I do believe that "uropeens" never have had to deal with wood that dries improperly over time. Seriously, do you not know anything about timber framing? Or is it just that european everything is always better than anyone else in the world? Don't go away mad... just go away! Your superiority complex is so old!
👏👏👏👏👍
перекрытия на шурупах............
VERY IMPRESSIVE!
FJB! 🇺🇸🖕🏼👨🏼🦳
Big fucking deal. Look back at what was accomplished by hand, no lifts. No ratchet straps ,no power.tools. . Nothing to it. Been a Carpenter right here 50 yrs. Not about the roof...its about utube
Reread what you wrote. Then go throw out all your Milwaukee, Dewalt, and other power tools. You are now limited to a hammer, gouge, and a brace and bit.
Nice , but the words “insane” “the worlds” just scream American childhood .”don’t recommend “
Lol
DUDE!!! You standing up there trying to wiggle that beam in is CRAZY without fall protection!! WTF were you thinking man???
@mcass3663 yeah it was a little sketchy up there but not as dangerous as it looks. We took extra safety precautions making sure the scaffold was sturdy and to not rush anything. With the main beam being centered above the silo there was about 10 feet all around the beam so quite a bit of room on the top floor to land if something were to happen. Thanks for the concern and watching us put this all together!
He forgot to put his skirt on before he tackled this project
