Nice Building, should keep you smiling and your equipment happy for years to come. Maybe next spring summer you could build a lean too on the open side to keep the smaller equipment under roof/shelter. Very good friends that are exponentially valuable, material costs are very cost effective with your sweat equity milling your own lumber as much as possible and the custom touches are like Icing on the cake. 😀 👍👍👍
Great job Adam. I am sure your reward is the feeling of a job well done. I was glad to see that you got it done before the worst of the snow began flying. Stay safe, healthy and warm. Bill H from Cranberry Township
Looks good Adam. I just built one too video coming soon. I took my logs to the Amish instead of milling them myself because I have a bit of a hunting addiction this time of year.
Lean to shed roof off of the right side to give you more covered storage?? Could proved some useful storage for small things and help keep wind blown stuff out of the building
You really should pull thers series together into separate "playlists" for a lot of these builds. Like the fancy firewood shed wood be another great playlist for people.
It has been so enjoyable watching you do all these projects. Seeing you grow and improve with the equipment as well as seeing the improvement in content. You have so much to be proud of, keep up the great work!
I enjoy how methodical you are with building this and all other projects you share and complete on your channel!!! It also brings it all home with the price break down/project wrap up video such as this!
Adam! What a job the three of you guys did! My hats off to all three of you. I really like how you sprayed the stain before putting the metal roof down. Since it’s on the underside, I can’t imagine you having to ever redo it. A thought about the gravel along the sides walls. What are your thoughts on either a pressure treated 2x6 or 2x8 on edge as a border around the base of the two sided walls, then backfill with gravel up to the bottoms of the walls? You can add a 90° to the two open ends to keep the gravel where it belongs. Just my 4¢ worth adjusted for inflation.😂 See you in the next episode.
Haha yeah it was late last night when I did that lol. Also I’m refining my carpentry skills but my accounting skills are starting to get rusty I guess lol
Your 3"x10" lumber is equivalent to 2 2x10s (1.5" thick x 2 = 3 inches) So milling your own saved you a little bit more that what you initially calculated. The finished equipment shed turned out great.
Hi Adam, Congrats on the completion of another project….I’m curious and have been meaning to ask….Why did you build it where you did? Unless I missed something, I thought you were going to construct this outbuilding in the large clearing you made awhile back (the one below the current wood yard)
The plan it to put a 40x60 building down there and we don’t have the money to build that right now. So this was a quick inexpensive fix to get the excavator and tractor under roof before winter
Please build some proper sturdy timber Saw Horses....... it's not like you don't have enough raw materials? Watching you use those flimsy body panel/windscreen supports for heavy lumber makes me wince every time they wobble. I wouldn't use a power tool anywhere near them!
You probably wouldn’t hit your head if you weren’t 6’5! 😂😂 Adding a marine batter with solar charger, to power some trickle chargers may be beneficial for your equipment. Looks great!
As a retired CPA, I really appreciate how you provide cost breakdowns on all your projects. Great information that I wish other RU-vidrs would provide. Great job, Adam!
Right! I’m a small farmer and I’ve stopped following most farmers because they aren’t transparent. Click bait with you can make $100k and acre…but they don’t really mention profit margins are horrible and they really make more money with RU-vid, tik tok, farm courses etc. it’s simply misleading in my opinion.
Thanks! I like the idea of leaving one of the sides open. I was going to enclose both sides and rear of the building that I am going to build, but now I think that it's really not necessary. Material wise, I stumbled on a deal for $50 dollars where someone had to remove an 8' pressure treated privacy fence and they just wanted it gone. There are nine sections of 8x8' panels, along with over 100 extra 1x6x8 boards. I already have metal where I put a new metal roof on my workshop, so the old metal will work fine on the shed I will build. I will need some help though (73 yrs. young). Adam, Doug?😉
We use a heavy waterproof canvas on a cable to keep weather out of our sawdust bin at the pallet yard. Just a big thick shower curtain really. I’m curious to see how much drifting you get inside the shed.
@@HometownAcres sure does, a nice charging station is always nice. I don't like charging batteries when I'm not around, so mine turn on with the lights in the garage. Works out well.
So buy $80,000 + worth of equipment (sawmill, excavator, and tractor) and I too could save $2,000 on lumber building a shed to keep said equipment under.... HAHA Just busting balls the shed looks real nice. I have been looking into fencing my new land for horses and lumber is insane, I wish I had the time to mill some lumber.
Put the new tractor on the left side like you had it. Put the old tractor sideways in the back of the right side. Back the excavator in the right side, up the the sideways old tractor. It looks to me like you could keep all 3 out of the elements. Good video.
Agree… he hasn’t had to overpack a SUV to get a kid to college. There are some creative problem solving skills that develop in that scenario. His Dad could get all of his equipment and attachments in there! 😂😂😂
Great series Adam. Loved to see the progress and you and the others enjoying building it. If you calculate the hours and divide the saved cost by it, would that give you something like a 'hour rate/salary'? 😂 I am not an accountant. But a carpenter and therefore wondering why you don't use the speed sqaure as a guide for the circular saw? Works great for 90 and 45 degrees and also for all other angles if you clamp it down. You just need to add the distance from the side of the bottom plate to the sawblade to your desired length. Or substract it, depending in which side you make the cut.
Might have to get creative with some sort sliding barn door to maintain your clear height, another column on either side with a header spanning across. But good news is you should be able to mill it yourself opposed to buying doors.
So the camera person for that intro was momma 😎. Some days I help out to make Adams life a little better… Thanks for noticing… and I was all over that shed!
@@HometownAcres call h&h supply it might be worth the drive. They usually just deal in gravel but mid summer they got in a huge supply of 2a. I got 4 dump trailer loads.
Adam with leaving that side open you could sneak your kioti in perpendicular to the other machines in behind them. Maybe even bury the mower in the back corner or the two sided walls as well.
What are you using for your side by side buggie??! A dunce cap watcher said Chinese…like an insult saying cheap.,, what is it then because I could definitely be very interested in a less expensive version that I could play around with??? Let me know what it is if you could or do a video introduction video.,, you’re a pretty bright frugal guy and you put in your research on equipment you’re looking at using so I would definitely follow your lean!!! I actually loved the video that you and mike..,? Morgan…. You owe me a 1/2 million bucks, pal!!!! You made me jump into the deep end and see if I could swim as just absolutely gorgeous and I was just laughing out loud and loving that whole perspective!!! Like you are doing what me and my family should be doing everyday so that is exactly what I’m going to do!!!! And you’ve done some huge work and made an absolutely beautiful and wonderful channel that only continues to grow and blossom into that strong and respectful environment and foundation that you established from the very start!’n. It’s been absolutely wonderful to watch it growing up!!!! ❤️👏🤩
Goes to show you if you want something these days you either need to do it yourself or go broke. Just built something similar for our sawmill, now it's time for you to build another one for your sawmill!
Holy smokes man!!! You have just catapulted far above the entire RU-vid channel video club with this video!!! Could have done tin on side my ass,buddy!!! Board and batten with your own Mills lumber is absolutely incredible and it’s going to last 150 years!!! I love the oil based sherwin Wiliams whatever that line of the really basic industrial outdoor wood stain Ozuna the blender bar one on Hickory in dark cherry whatever I make really dark out you’re gonna look straighter and if there was a spray every couple years and throw some oil at it and you know every three years for the rest of your life and get that wood saturated so good and she’s going to be a beautiful piece of family history and hundreds of years from now some fella will be happily doing repairs on her!!! I had a granddaddy who saved the motor oil and all the equipment lubes and petroleum products basically into a barrel and would cut it down with kerosene or diesel if needed.., and all the wood structures got a good spray coating every couple years just like the underneath of the truck’s and tractors and equipment…. Everything was sprayed with the old lube every so often! When you needed to work on something and remove a bolt or nut!!! LMFFAO!!! You could just grab it and crack it loose and get to work!!! No problem with rusty stuck bolts and everything wooden had oil absorbed into it very well…. A drum of K-1 or heating oil and 350 gallons of used lubricant’s from several friends with hydraulic fluid and transmission fluid wastes collected…. He used that raised barrel above his catcher barrel with it’s bottom 1/2 layers of filter fabric then several inches of white sand then filter with that 4” sand… he always collected the magnet’s from all the speakers and all magnets at the scrap yard or junk yard he was always on the lookout for big - little and all magnets to toss around in the sand and let the magnets potentially catch anything in a fines… micro metal pieces .,, no clue if it worked or not or how effective they were or if they had a negative reaction each other but it made him happy !!! Thinking about catching any little flakes of metal!!! 😂😂😂. With a good mixture of crap in the bottom of the barrel you could actually dump a 5 gallon bucket in the top and when it was draining out the bottom it was pretty darn clear !!! a beautiful combination of ATF and the hydraulic fluid is a great 30 weight base oil basically…different gear lubes and all your Dinosaur Juice all caught and cleaned up some.., he would put a couple tablespoons of tackifier in a 5 gallon bucket of the 15wt-20wt type mixture and your would have the best and most impressive refuse to sling off the chain lube that a rich guy would want to get a deal to be buy all of it for you!!!!
Love that shed - esp. the exterior walls. I don’t want to be negative, but just as it relates to your safety, you’ve mentioned snow several times. I don’t know what PA is like in the snow (Valley Forge lol), but did you do any snow-load calcs to make sure it would support the load?
Shed looks great. Great way to free up space and keep your equipment dry. I did a ton of research on wood mills. The EZ Boardwalk was one I have considered. Has it been hassle free for you?
a waxed canvas home stitched bag with a spray-on rattlecan UV resistant external clear coat, would make a practical shell for that partially exposed 4wheeler. Could be folded up and stowed in the attic, that is, if your 4wheeler has an off season in your climate.😂
Why did you get an LS tractor? I have seen a lot of RU-vid videos about people that are not happy with LS equipment. Everyone seems to like their Kiotis
Very nice. Glad to see you used concrete pillars instead of the pole barn style 👍. I don’t like the pole barn method as down the road if not you someone has to deal with the rot. I don’t think the pole barn method is allowed in my area Nova Scotia 🇨🇦 I never see it.
Looks great but I think with all the equipment that you have. You need to do a little bit bigger s***And I say one of these over top of the salmon would look nice too
Awesome finish Adam, im so glad you put the excavator in at the end. Protect your most expensive equipment. A much bigger one in the lumber yard would be perfect for the saw mill and log processor to protect them from the weather. Be a great use of that surplus logs you have
Ya know, there is enough lumber in all that bracing you took down to build a nice lean-to roof off that open side. That got the ole wheels turning I bet.
I enjoy listening to you describing everything about your building of the new equipment shed. Your descriptions are very easy to follow ... even though I know nothing about any of this. "Hey" to Neighbor Doug and Merry Christmas to all! 🎄
