That right there is the way you raise a family properly. If you want them to stay together and have productive lives with good values. 75% of America needs to watch this video. Y'all are something to look up to
i love the way your little children are working with you. it reminds me of working with my father when i was a kid he was a carpenter but he is passed away but i miss those days
We have a 100x50 foot pole barn on our property.. But it was once actually a forestry service building in the 40s.. the owner of this land bought it in the 60s took it apart and moved it to this land and rebuilt it himself.. Interestingly enough. the 8x8 posts are not in the ground. They sit on top of 2x10s on top of concrete blocks in the ground. Not even anchored mind you which is ODD.. but its held through how many hurricanes and wind for 60+ years. The beams in the barn are all 4x6 or 6x6 for the roof.. yes 4x6 and 6x6 for the roof beams lol.. Its interesting how it was built. the 50 foot span uses a 4x6 50 foot beam, which you THINK would sag big time... but.. it has 2x10s bolted to the center of the beam and then a giant metal bar bolted through that going to the roof beams that are in a 3 dimentional triangle formation basically all line up like this /\ with that metal bar in the center of them.. So in essence the roof supports its own weight.. its a very ingenious design actually The more weight you put on it, the stronger it gets The prior owner who rebuilt this in the 60s did an amazing job, he built 6 horse stalls, with a slab on 1/4 of the barn, the middle 1/2 is three double doors, for storage for cars or farm equipment. Dirt floor though, and the last 1/4 section is a single double door, with a 4 inch slab 10 120v outlets, and a 50A and 25A 240v outlets. Also is insulated "as best as youd do for 1960 with foam and tar mats behind the dry wall. It also has water in the stalls and the workshop coming directly from the house itself 300 feet away..... I also have a drain in the floor on both slabs, and a 15 foot work bench made out of 4x6 oak posts i assume were scrap. I also have a cinterblock lined with tile chimney for a wood stove in the shop. The shop also has 6 huge windows that flip up for ventilation if i want So the building itself is 80 years old, or 60 if you count the rebuild. The tin roof leaks a little in spots, and needs some new sealent put on top. its leaking through the nails in the 2x4s and rotting them slowely. Im very grateful for that man for building such an amazing, still standing, barn, with evgerything one would want... Water, power, slabs with drains, and yea.. most guys with workshops i noticed dont have water, and dont have 240v power either. And lack of windows in many modern shops/barns is depressing. The man is now buried at the cemetary next to this property. Its interesting looking at how modern pole barns are built versus mine... Mine uses gigantic solid oak beams even the 2x4s are oak.. ALL the wood is real sized.. 2x4 is a 2x4.. a 6x6 or 8x8 or 4x6 is true to size.. Versus the modern cheap barns today using pine for everything, im just noticing how pole barns today are built like houses.. using tons of 2x4 pine boards nailed together like a spider web. Just shows you how well things were built 80 years ago versus today.
You have a BEAUTIFUL family! Wow! I had three daughters and they did what they could to help us build, but this is amazing. All of those kids will cherish this. This is such a great channel! Subbed :)
Thanks for watching! I drilled holes through the angle iron every few feet and ran lag bolts through into the top plate. It’s the easiest way I found anyway.
Great video! You have a beautiful family. I think it's wonderful that you have fulfilled the first commandment of the Bible, "be fruitful and multiply". God bless you.
Очень хорошие дети.Трудолюбие с детства это радость для папы и мамы.Привет из России.Very good children.Hard work since childhood is a joy for dad and mom.Hello from Russia.
I hope these walls work out for you. I am not sure where you are from. I have a steel building with a poured concrete wall all the way around. But for some reason the wall was poured wider than the overhead door so they filled in the hole in each side with with steel siding. The problem is the steel is just attached to the concrete floor at the bottom where the rest of the building is attached to the poured wall. In the winter when the ground freezes, the floor lifts up and buckles the steel siding in this area because the floor liftes but the wall doesnt because it goes below the frost line. In your case I would think the floor would raise in the winter and try to lift the whole building with those walls sitting on the top of the floor.
Oh dear, that’s no good! I’m in north Florida so the ground doesn’t freeze here thankfully. The coldest we get is generally the low 20’s with an exceptional teen once in a blue moon.
It is wonderful to raise children while working together on a construction site or farm. It teaches thinking, cooperation and not top what in schools where only buyers and left-thinkers are indoctrinated.
It’s called sill seal. It adds a protective barrier between wood and concrete to keep moisture from wicking up. It also provides an air and bug seal in case the concrete isn’t perfect flat. That way no wind can sneak through.
It was an educated guess LOL. I basically figured out the length of the two end studs then laid it down and cut the rest to fit in place on the ground.
Cost mostly. We did a pole barn frame and then as we could afford it we poured the slab and built the walls. We are almost totally done with it but it’s been a two year process.

Awesome
I really like all the help you had doing this. Teaching those kids about work and giving them memories that will last a lifetime.
2x thumbs up
Thanks so much!
Lots of helping hands, love it. And it teaches them they can do things themselves.
omg, teared up a bit. beautiful family, your patients is wonderful...a real teacher, we need more of you.
Thank you, and thanks for watching!

Y'all are something to look up to
Thank you for the kind words, and for watching!
I totally agree with all the comments about letting the kids help, this makes for great family ties. Well done sir.
Thanks for watching and the kind words!
I found this informational, wholesome, and inspiring to watch.. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!

Nice you have a pole barn installing team there. I am going to build / assemble a pole barn for the first time. are those 6 y 6 or 8 by 8 posts?
They’re awesome! Those are 6x6s. I wanted 8x8s but It was an extra $1000.

I love old buildings! We have definitely gotten dumber when it comes to building. The old timers were very wise men!
Long life for all of you guys ❤
You have a BEAUTIFUL family! Wow! I had three daughters and they did what they could to help us build, but this is amazing. All of those kids will cherish this. This is such a great channel! Subbed :)
Thank you so much!
Beautiful team.
Looks great. Can you please tell me how you fastened to top plate to the truss? I have a small pole barn I want to enclose
Thanks for watching! I drilled through the steel truss and ran a 1/4” lag bolt through into the top plate.
How did you attach the walls to the steel trusses. I am getting ready to enclose mine and I really like how you framed up the front wall.
Thanks for watching! I drilled holes through the angle iron every few feet and ran lag bolts through into the top plate. It’s the easiest way I found anyway.
Great video! You have a beautiful family. I think it's wonderful that you have fulfilled the first commandment of the Bible, "be fruitful and multiply". God bless you.
Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching and supporting us. God has blessed us with a quiver full!

Very cool, thanks for watching! You are the first person to comment on our page from Russia. God bless!
What did you use to keep the top board of the wall to the metal truss? We are framing in our bedroom and trying to figure out how to close it in.
I drilled holes in the steel trusses and ran lag bolts down through the truss into the wooden top plate.
Do you hire your crew out? They are better workers than 90% of the guys out on the crews now. Great video
Hahaha thanks! I probably should, we could make a fortune! 😂
LMAO 🤣😂😂

I know you had a lot going on but 10:25 had me nervous for your little one right in the fall zone had the wall gotten away from you all.
Those kids have probably done more work in their lives than most people today do in a lifetime
It is wonderful to raise children while working together on a construction site or farm.
It teaches thinking, cooperation and not top what in schools where only buyers and left-thinkers are indoctrinated.
Nothing like pounding in nails by hand to hone those hand-eye coordination skills 😅
That’s right!
those boys and girls are going to be fine human been.
I sure hope so!
What was that weather stripping under the base plate?
It’s called sill seal. It adds a protective barrier between wood and concrete to keep moisture from wicking up. It also provides an air and bug seal in case the concrete isn’t perfect flat. That way no wind can sneak through.

Thank you so much! What country are you watching from?
How did you calculate the angle to precut the studs?
It was an educated guess LOL. I basically figured out the length of the two end studs then laid it down and cut the rest to fit in place on the ground.
@@MaynardFamilyHomestead wow! so simple and it worked like a pro :)
What was the thinking behind going with a framed walls as opposed to a conventional post frame?
Cost mostly. We did a pole barn frame and then as we could afford it we poured the slab and built the walls. We are almost totally done with it but it’s been a two year process.
HELLO CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT TREE IS BEHIND, IT APPEARS AT MINUTE 6:00
That is a Live Oak, that one is pretty old too. I would estimate 50-60 years.
How do you plant to insulate?
We are using batt insulation. I wish we could afford spray foam, it would be a lot easier!
Where did you buy your trusses
I bought the barn as a complete kit from a pole barn company.
how are you attaching to trusses?
I drilled through the metal and ran 1/4” lag screws down into the top plate through the truss.
What is the size?
The barn is 32x48. The workshop will be 12x32.
thankyou
i almost turned off, glad i didnt
