The barn is making an amazing transformation as we add more wood siding, and becoming more the vision we started with every day. We also set aside a small section for the cows for this winter that will allow us to continue working on the barn. Now the barn is alive!
With this video we stopped numbering our work days. We were mostly interested to see how far we could get in building for a month of work days...for us that was the entire foundation and roof! Not too shabby considering the scope, and it was mostly the two of us. Thanks again for all your amazing support!

Amazing build!! We built our new cattlebarn last summer during the worst drought in a hundred years here in sweden, so it was tough! But when you get to move the cattle in, its all worth it 😁👍
@vnthomas16
@vnthomas16 4 года назад
Northpoint Farm hello! Yes, it was such a momentous moment bringing in the cows! Was it hot when you built your barn then? I remember when building the roof for our house, it was over 37 degrees C up there! Now with our barn, it’s the opposite! Haha! It’s below Zero degrees C today and I’m out working! Thanks for watching!

The barn looks great , keep up the good work ... here is something for you to think about , you might want to go to Harbor freight and get a 4‘ x 8‘ trailer kit and build some 4 foot high Removable sidewalls with tiedown hooks so you could cover it with a tarp , that way when you go to the sawmill to get more wood shavings to use for bedding for the cattle it will be easier to load and unload without having to throw it all in the back of your pick up and make a big mess in there
@vnthomas16
@vnthomas16 4 года назад
Don Latimer yeah, the shavings make a bit of a mess. The eventual plan is to get a dump trailer for my truck #12. That will haul a lot of shavings! Thanks for watching! And have a happy Thanksgiving!

@fionajane56
@fionajane56 4 года назад
I just so enjoy your videos. The sawdust/shavings looks wonderful, will you be able to stockpile it as a bedding material? Have you considered rubber barn mats to protect your concrete from the urine and manure? They also offer protection for the cows knees and hocks when they lay down. You bedded them wonderfully deep which is awesome. The barn is absolutely beautiful and functional.❤️
@vnthomas16
@vnthomas16 4 года назад
Fiona C we will eventually store some shavings. The pack will be bigger too. This is all just temporary. We plan to use rubber mats in the milking parlor, but not the pack. I fear mats under the pack would get tore up by our front end loader when cleaning out the pack each spring. We’ll just ensure that the pack is thick. Thanks for watching! And Happy Thanksgiving!

I have loved watching your progress! Our barn is a similar style but much smaller size, built for beef cows and sheep who spend 99% of their time outside. We have an unfinished roof with a tarp on the back of the barn and I had to laugh that the cows came in when it started to rain yesterday. How in the world did they know it was there (for the first time)? ha. I love the little 4 pane windows. Can I ask where you got them? Are they wood or vinyl? Putting in windows has been a real sticking point for us. We did retrofit 4 windows this summer for the shop area and the extra light during the dark time of the year is great. Now, only only 10 or so more to go. I think.
@vnthomas16
@vnthomas16 4 года назад
Here and There Homestead I think cows are smarter than people give them credit for! I really like our barn sashes. They are true divided light barn sashes made out of PVC. You can get them in wood too, but went with PVC for maintenance purposes. They’re made by Northview, but bought them online through American windows online. They’re an economic way to bring in extra light. Thanks for watching!

@vnthomas16
@vnthomas16 4 года назад
planejet42 We really like the look of the rough cut lumber. We wanted a more traditional looking barn. I hope I don’t disappoint you, Haha, but we are going to use metal for enclosing the dairy. It’s just easier that way to get a tight structure for sanitary reasons. The metal is red, and we intend to stain the rest of the barn red in the spring, so it should blend together pretty good. Thanks for watching!

@vnthomas16

Steve no, not too much. About 20” a year, but it’s been pretty dry lately. Less than half an inch in November. North Idaho does get a bit more than we do.
@Steve-ps6qw
@Steve-ps6qw 4 года назад
@@vnthomas16 oh, interesting. Yea, based on the statistics I can see about a 2-3 inch difference. So, wood barn but metal house? You said you built in metal to protect against fire so why build the barn in wood? (Don't get me wrong, they both look great!)
@vnthomas16
@vnthomas16 4 года назад
Steve it’s calculated risk. The barn has more “defensible space” meaning it’s pretty much going to have a large swath of gravel or concrete around it. The house on the other hand has vegetation (even though it’s maintained) all the way around it.
