Lumnah Acres Got a Barn Off the Internet

- My buddy Al Lumnah of Lumnah Acres bought his barn off the internet. Today I went over to his homestead and lent a hand to help him with assembly. It's got me thinking about what we should do about our old barn.
About Gold Shaw Farm: Gold Shaw Farm is more of a farm-in-progress than an honest-to-goodness farm. Our dream is that someday we are able to transform our 150+ acre parcel of land into a regenerative and productive homestead and farm.

Thanks for coming over and helping with the BARN!
Looks good mate I haven’t watched since you levelled the pad for the barn, I was waiting to binge watch from start to finish.
I enjoyed that moment when you stood back and admired your handy work
what are you planning on treating the wood with?
So impressed with that Barn build 👌. Started watching when he had skunks in new yolk city. Hopefully it will help you with your projects 😊😁
How does the camera move when your not there moving it yourself?
Al is a talented carpenter, he is no average DIY'er. I think he's a very humble man. Building that barn alone is nuts, have friends lined up to help. lol
That is a basically a large Ikea cabinet. I think Ducks go to bed guy could do it. Don't be afraid...you learn by doing...building structures seems scary but it is pretty easy once you do it for a bit.....and an extra set of hands is a huge help in construction.
Morgan, you looked so bummed on your drive home..thinking of a new barn for yourself ..but the old new England barn you have is something that can't be replaced and with so many being torn down, you are so blessed to have one that is so big and beautiful.. although it needs some work, perhaps you can give a "shout out" to other homesteaders and such in the new england area that you need some help cleaning and starting the process of restoration...New and shiny looks great but what you have can't be beat..
btw...your vlogs quack me up..lol
I concur, I’m sure it could be done
I wish I lived with all of you. I take recycle old wood and take apart old buildings and refurbish all of their parts and make something new out of it I love doing this. I wish someday I could live on a farm and restore and modify the farm buildings there is so much that is so beautiful when I look at your your farms I love the way you talk to your animals they are better than humans. I love my animals they are my favourite babies in the world.
Guys, give him a break! He's a beginner at DIY and restoring his barn requires expertise. I agree that a community shout out would help but it's going to take longer than a weekend. Maybe he could sign up w/the Self Reliant Roadshow for season 2 to get an expert appraisal of what needs to be done to approach it.
Absolutely Beautiful Goose operation :) Love what you doing with those guys. Fun that you and Al got to hang out.
I live vicariously through yours and the Lumnah Acres channel. You really seem like an honest and self-effacing guy who isn't trying to be Superman. You are honest about your abilities and shortcomings. I admire that. Al Lumnah is truly an inspiration. He can do more work in one morning than I can seem to accomplish in a month. (I'm 28 years older though...) I'm not religious, but I get that he is. He's never preachy, always upbeat and seems like a true gentleman as well as a gentle soul. All the best to you both.
Dad, is this the guy that tells "all ducks go to bed?"
Yes it is, sweetie.
Ah. I like him.
So do I.
So sweet! Wonderful comment!
It was great to see 2 of my favorite channels Collaborating together ! Al Lumnah is a top notch homesteader ! Not to mention Al is a builder hands on knowledge is a bonus in that situation !
I vote for not removing the old barn if it is not in the way. As your farm grows you will need the old barn for one reason or another. At this point I would just make sure the roof was in good shape with no leaks and then leave it stand for now.
That’s probably what I’d do...unless I really needed the money from selling the wood.
I agree. It is always good to have extra buildings. You never know what lurks in the future.
Except if the old barn is unsafe. Then the price to repair vs new. It’s easy to sit at your keyboard and say ohhh keep the old barn. Then have part of the barn collapse on your food and the water hydrant. You know it won’t be the empty part that fails, not my luck anyway. I am sure it’s not your luck either. After all we are the viewer, we are not the farmer
Al has it together. Fix your barn, don't get rid of it.
The more you do the more you realize you can do more. Watch Al's videos , he's a great instructor He is methodical, orderly, and deliberate- never in a hurry , always moving forward. Your old barn is such a priceless example of Americana. I'm guessing whoever built it just got out there and got after it. Whatever you decide about a barn don't let doubts get in your way-you can and you will get it done ; of this I have no doubt.
Don’t doubt your self. You can do it. The power in positive thought is amazing. And always remember to enjoy the journey
And we all have that positive power rooting for you.
Thank-You for helping Al with his barn May God Bless you and yours
New subscriber, here from Lumnah. Please don’t get rid of your barn. That is priceless. If you are going to build a barn like Al, get help. He’s too humble to say how smart and talented he is. He makes it look easy.
It was nice to see Al have company today, somebody right there to see how much work he has done and who can marvel at it in person. Thanks for helping out.
Not ever going to get sick of you talking about the barn. Great video. I have been watching Lumnah Acres as well. You both are such awesome people. I love watching your channels.
I think it's great that you and Al are friends. You have a lot to offer each other. I watch and enjoy both of your videos.
Thanks for helping Al. He will help you.
All your birds are looking good! Thanks for
Taking us over to visit Al.
So Cool ! I start my day with Al and him Family and Farm! They are such Great People !! Thanks Debra In California 🌻🌻🌻
An extra set of hands and a strong back are a blessing when you need them. I was checking Jamaica Cottages web page. They some neat kits. One was a sugar shack for boiling maple syrup. Has a coppola to vent the steam. Enjoyed the ducks and geese. Glad you were able to help.
Thanks for taking us with you to Al’s! I love when you 2 friends get together, I always learn something from you both. Take care and have a great day!
I have been a subscriber to Al's channel for a while now and he is quite skilled as a carpenter. While watching his barn progress I thought many times he should have an extra set of hands. His barn work would have been speeded up a whole lot. Thank you for being a good friend to him.
Thank you you for helping Al . Love your channel . Love you ducks and geese
Came here from Lumnah Acres, thanks for helping Al with their barn. Nice ducks and geese, they both are good eating, had goose one Christmas and it was the best fowl I have ever eaten. Wish you the best with your farm and all the success you hope for.
I came here from Lumnah Acres. I enjoyed your video and subscribed to your channel I lived most of my life in New England now reside in Florida watching you two brings back fond memories
Thank you Morgan for helping Al with the barn build!
I subscribed to you from the last visit to Lumnah Acres. I like the two of you working together. You ought to have Al over some time.
We've been following Lumnah Acres since before his barn build. Have to say though, that barn he has built is very cool. Those kits are really nice. My husband was impressed. It would be wonderful for you if you could get a barn raising party together over a long weekend and your barn could go up with time for a celebration BBQ after. 😁💚
I could see a small version on an urban property too. Beautiful buildings.
Thanks for helping Al @ lumnah Acres, I think you are getting the idea of maybe your own do-it-yourself barn kit and I will definitely watch you build it, I hope you do something good with that beautiful old barn you have, I hope it's still structurally sound enough to keep it, you will never get that look back when it's gone. 🇺🇸👍🇺🇸👍
Mr. Gold you are a great story teller, also a teacher. You can what u can and do what u do.
It's all good. I think you doing great!!
Yeah Lumnah Acres is one of my favorite channels.
Al from Lumnah Acres sent me here, thank you so much for taking time to visit and help Al!
I am suscribing to your channel as well. It would be great if you could restore your Barn. You say you have no experience in construction, then it might be wise to have helpers! Hard work is lighter with the help of friends. Love your geese and ducks!
I love your old barn, but it does really help to have buildings that work for you. You and Al work well together.
At 7 minutes and 47 seconds... Very nice slide.. a matchstick frame Barnwill definitely extend those short growing seasons... I love the way these guys giggle..
HELLO MORGAN, I CAME OVER FROM LUMNAH ACRES AND HAVE NOW SUBBED TO YOU AS WELL. I AM A NEW ENGLANDER WHO MOVED TO FLORIDA IN 1991. I DO MISS LIVING IN MY HOME STATE N.H. AND LIVING IN VERMONT BUT MY BODY CAN'T HANDLE THE COLD ANYMORE. IT WAS GOOD TO SEE YOU HELPING AL THIS MORNING. I LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING TO SEE MORE OF YOUR HOMESTEAD. HAVE A BLESSED DAY.
I have been following Al on the build!! He is doing great by his self!!!!
Thank you for going over to Lumnah Acres and helping him with some of the heavy beems. Both of your families are blessing. God's blessing to you and yours.
I like to watch Al's channel also. You two are both pretty chill, can see that you would get along. Nice.
Ive been watching Al's vlogs building the barn, he has been putting in such hard work to build the barn.
You have lost quite a bit of weight. Very proud of you. Keep up the good work.
Its so nice being inteoduced to you and your farm. Yes, Al is a one men machine. Now I add you to my list of madern ateaders.
Nice to see you at Lumnah Acres. We are big fans of Al and love ducks!
It's definitely a big project he's undertaking. It's an achievement for sure.
Please keep the old barn. It would be a great subject for more videos.
You should contact Jamaica Cottage Shop to see if they could help you make your barn more structurally stable and supply the lumber for the repairs. They also have buildings that are simpler and smaller than that post and beam barn kit.
I love the videos! Keep up the great work
It was cool to see lumnah acres from your point of view 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Lovethe big old barn . Keep us up to date on barn reno, don't give up on it.
Thanks for helping Today
Love their videos too! Thanks for sharing
what a throw back this came up in my recommended for some reason so i rewatched it lol ur famrs come a long way
Ha! I haven’t watched that one in a long time. Thanks for watching!
Shalom! Wow I am impressed...the new install of the barn looks fantastic Thank you all for sharing. Blessings.
Such a nice surprise to see you helping out Al at lumnah acres, thanks for asking him these questions I've been curious myself as the nice wooden style DIY kits look fascinating. Best of luck with you new duck coop hopefully all goes smoothly for you!
Lumnah Acres sent me here. Very nice farm . . love the Ducks and Geese
OMG the mini quacks and that first step was sooooooooooo cute!
It's been super impressive to see Al be able to raise a barn by himself
Very good interview see you in the morning.👋🏿👋🏿👋🏿
Concerning your barn:
1 you have a massive sq feet .
2 you need shelter for your animals
3 is there an area on the first floor that is stable where you can partition off for storage and shelter for your ducks and geese? Having everything in one location could save you some time, I think..
You have an awesome opportunity in your location with all that diverse topography and huge amount of land!
Best wishes to you and your wife!
Terry from Texas
Great video. I’ve watched Lumnah Acres for sometime now. He has a great channel. Like seeing you let them all let out in the morning, such a cute rush lots of quacks & honks lol
They are building another barn - a fun series.
Love seeing your visit!
Thank you for helping out your buddy Al on the barn. I subscribed to you as well! 🌼
You are progressively looking alot healthier since I've been watching your videos a year ago. All the best
Didn't know you knew each other, my two favourite farmTubers together! Good news
I think if the Lumnahs are not that far from y'all y'all should go there quite often Al is a excellent Carpenter and you could learn a lot from him we/I love the big barn on your property and it would really be simple to tighten up/fix if I was near you I'd be coming over to fix it just so you don't put it in the ground keep it friend its beautiful thumbs up and so glad you know Al
Two of my favs together.
Go for it dude. Build your own stuff! That kit looks awesome.
I'm coming in from Lumnah Acres. Love what You guys are doing. I'm now a subscriber to Gold Shaw Farm also. Btw, I love the fact I can get a coffee mug to watch the show while drinking my fav brew in the morning.
Thank you for demonstrating how to be a good neighbor. Not everybody masters that life lesson. SUbscribed!
I think in time you will regret not taking the time to refurbish your barn. There is so much more potential there than what Al has, not taking away anything from AL's building. He had to build something where you just have to visualize what you need for the future and remodel. Just a thought from someone who doesn't have nickel in that quarter . Good luck
Came over from Lumnah Acres. Love the Ducks and Geese
Good video. Thank you. 👍😁
NIce of you to go help!
Two of my favorite farmers in one video l loved it. Maybe one day as your farm gets bigger you'll get a barn kit to build . God bless you and your family hope you have a great rest of the week.
Al Lumnah had experience building. If you have help, I would say,ok...But I have watched Al build that barn....it scared me.I don't like Hights.
But,in the end,you make your own mind.
Good video.
Hi Mason .... thanks for helping Al with the barn.. your channel looks cool.
Thanks for lending Al a hand!!
I've been watching your channel a few videos now before this one and I like how you work with you geese and ducks and since I see you are a friend of one of my favorite RUclips channel Lumnah Acres I'm a new sub..😊 I love to see how you guys are authentics.. Love from 🇵🇷 P.R.♥️🎉🎉💪💪💪😆
Great looking barn build!
Al sent me. Thanks for lending a hand (or 2) and getting a different perspective. I envy your big barn. It's stood a loooong time so it was made well. I hope you can give it new life but if not, it could make you quite a nice penny as a resale to some rich folks who want some genuine Americana as a vacation home. Or as repurposed lumber. I suggest you get a journey man carpenter take a look at what kind of wood and the joinery; it may surprise you.
I would dearly love to spend a few with Alan over at the Acres myself. Good job.
The impressive thing is that Al is building it himself.
Yeah I know what you mean, I'm building a workshop right now and the theme music to This Old House is constantly getting into my head. Must be a New England thing.
Well, I adored your video much more than the ones from Al. Seems he likes to show much more detail, (hammering, cutting, etc) so I ended up skipping through most of his build. Even the fact that you add music makes your video more enjoyable. Thanks for sharing your work and experience.
Great video thanks for sharing nice to al
Came over from Lumnah. Welcome to the neighborhood!
👍 Amazing project!
OMG This is awesome...how amazing because I was going to ask you if you knew of this guy Al from Lumnah acrea, lol...and you do!!! This is great, I love seeing neighborly homies!
Gary, it was a pleasure meeting you(well kinda sorta). Being from Cali its different. I love the farms of yours and Als. Ive subscribed to your vlog as well. Keep going with your farm, Im going to enjoy watching both of you and how you both grow your farms.
Awesome is as awesome does ...tysm for helping
Great to see that you guys are representing New England on the ever growing you-tube community............good stuff.
You could do it Morgan!!! Great video!
We built a barn when I was 14. My father, my brother, an ex student of my father's, and myself. My father was a chemistry professor at a small engineering college in West Virginia, he designed the barn and put in a safety factor of 2½. Then he handed it to the civil engineering professor and asked him to look at the plans. He put in another safety factor of 2. By the time that barn went up Daddy could have parked a train engine upstairs in the hay loft.
I also came over from Lumnah Acres. I would love to see you restore your old barn, even if you feel the need to build a more modern one. Either way I'll be watching.
The ducks are wagging their tales 😍
Alright I've missed a few videos and I miss the duck and geese!! I'm happy this is the video that popped up today from you. Amazing work, wow!!! Thanks for showing! This blows me away!
Came over from Lumnah homestead RUclips channel! You must be alright if you're Al's friend so just subscribed to your channel!
Nice barn !
I cannot even imagine removing that old barn. It is likely more than you'll ever need - and probably cheaper to save than to build new outbuildings. Please, use your imagination and find a way to save and utilize that massive structure.
I think that he is talking about replacing the little garage, the big barn is safe.
Is it? I thought it was about to fall down.
I guess I should have said it is safe from imminent demolition, it is rough in spots, but generally safe from a hazard perspective
Yes, buy a kit so we can watch you build it...I plan on doing that and can learn from your mistakes and suffering....I have no problem learning from other peoples mistakes (I know that sounds somewhat mean but its true). And yes, the metal barns are not so pleasing to the eye but they are much more fire resistant and where our land is metal is popular (its cheaper too). You can drees up the metal with faux wood pieces and a stone wainscoting....but the wood is pretty.
