Full barn restoration time lapse video! 

?

SHould watch Carl Rogers video of him restoring an old french barn with his dad. Awesome stuff.

Yes for sure! The lumber prices are starting to creep back down around here. Hopefully i can get started back on all the projects i have planned to do. LOL!

Thank you so much!

Thank you very much!

Thanks my friend!

And if you paint it, it does a better job of protecting it and you don't run the risk of burning it down. What an insanely stupid suggestion.

@@farmerbill6855 not stupid - Japanese have been doing it for centuries but yes let's slap on a toxic coat of chemicals that needs doing multiple times a decade. See not so nice when someone shits all over your suggestion is it?

@@classicambo9781 ever see a barn burn down? You cannot put them out. Say what you like, still an insanely stupid idea. No matter what the Japanese do.

@@farmerbill6855 The Japanese have been charring exterior boards they put on buildings for hundreds of years and are known to master woodworkers and engineers, so I'm sure they are more knowledgeable than you! And I didn't even imply charring the boards after they where already installed.

@@mrMacGoover Yea, such a good method it's practiced all over the world, right? Nothing against the Japanese, they make great cars, but thousands of years of civilization and they couldn't come up with a fork? Not all of their ideas are gems. As for toxic, with the Creosote in the posts, the zinc chromate and copper sulphate in the treated wood, and the formaldehyde in the resin holding the plywood together, that ship has sailed. In addition, a nice coat of white paint looks much better than it looking like it's been on fire.

Thanks

Thank you for the kind words!

@@TheHobbyFarmHomestead how is the plywood style siding holding up with no vertical supports between sheets. Been thinking of doing it to my pole barn that im building.

@@bobbybass7518 yeah it does. You have to get it stained or painted pretty quick after you put it up.

Thank you!

They are goof balls!

Thank you very much!

It was for sure! It’s an on going project! Lol!

That’s awesome! Hope it turns out great for you.

Thank you for the support!

💪with you !💕

That's the first thing I spotted, I hope they're going to recycle that BARN WOOD! No, they burned it,, we don't do that in California, we will dismantle it for for the wood....Great job on the finished project...

@@sherriestockdale7038 the burn is a good protection of the wood. It is just the top layer. Nothing can save sever rot.

@@sherriestockdale7038 this wood is fragile, half-rotted, and likely caked in moss/lichen and animal shit. It won't really be good for anything- we redid our 40 year old run-in shed a few months ago, and all the wood from the back was just cracking into pieces as we pulled it off, no way it would've held nails or screws. It lasts better in drier climates (like Cali), but anywhere wet or termite-prone, you can kiss the barn wood you pull off goodbye, unless it's less than 20ish years old.

The recycle companys around me would not take it, so i just buried it. Thanks for watching!

That and it never had any gutters on it. That has been since taken care of. Thanks for the support!

Hello! How’s things across the pound?

Well we saved a lot of it and sold it to help with the costs of the structural lumber. I would of loved to completely disassemble it piece by piece but I just didn’t have the help nor the time to do that. Thanks for watching!

Sold some and burned some!

Welcome to the channel

It is called slag. It comes from the steel mill and it does pack good. It will get as hard as concrete if tamped.

@@TheHobbyFarmHomestead A truck hauling slag on one of our roadways lost some, and it resulted in many flat tires that day. It made all the local news. Is it sharp and possible to damage tires?

No it isn’t sharp no more than limestone is.

@@TheHobbyFarmHomesteadThanks!

Oh no! I am sry to here that.

That part of the barn was heavily damaged from rot and wasn’t repairable.

Barns are like garages they are never big enough. LOL!

@@TheHobbyFarmHomestead One thing is for sure, you cannot build a barn big enough, ever.

That was during the lumber shortage so I think I paid around 50$ for them. That was two years ago to so I am not sure on the price now.

Working on that video!

There not a whole lot to do there other than sealing it like we did. We tried to keep it up off the ground as much as we could. I wanted to put metal siding on it but the cost was to high.

It’s around 60 years old. Thanks for watching!

I plan on putting them back in this summer.

All the videos of doing the restoration are in the play list under horse barn building.

?

@@TheHobbyFarmHomestead You are surrounded by way TOO MANY WOMEN. I am praying for you. That was my point. Separate issue..... Reinforcement bars in concrete pour.. I didn't see any.

@@paulnueberg742 now I understand! Lol! We put wire in the concrete plus fiber mesh. Hopefully that will do the job. Thanks for the support!

@@TheHobbyFarmHomestead My pleasure. Still praying 4 u tho.. ;)

I hear that! LOL!

Well yes it would of but it was my wife’s father’s barn and I wanted to bring it back to life for here.

I thought about doing that but I needed to fix the posts that where rotten at the bottom.

@@TheHobbyFarmHomestead yeah the reason I would patch it is because I’m bad at woodworking, you did a terrific job though!

@@einhundertfunfzig4919 Thank you very much!

You got that right!

Looks good

yes we are going to reinstall the windows we took off.

That’s ok! I appreciate the view with constructive criticism!

When my father in law past he didn’t have much but what he did have was just enough to repair his barn. I am well aware of what it takes to build for the ages but I still respect good knowledge! Thanks for watching!

​@@TheHobbyFarmHomestead Because you replied kindly, I'm changing my vote to a thumbs up ❤

I know filming at night isn’t really good but it gets dark so early right now. I don’t have much choice. Thanks for watching!

I saved 80% of it and gave it to my buddy to reuse on his chicken coops. The other 20% was to damaged or rotted to reuse. The stuff on the back of the barn that was tore down was no good. Thanks for stopping by!

No true farmer reuses rusted barn metal. Fix it once and move on.

But it would be more expensive in the long run-many places tax the barn on date of build, an older barn date has less tax than a new one.

@@cathiwim lmao taxing barns? is that a joke

@@Fanaz10 you somehow think barns are exempt from property tax? Not a very deep thinker, are you?

@@farmerbill6855 property tax? is that another joke?

Well not sure what to do with rotten termite infested wood. I don’t think there is much structural strength in it anymore. I certainly wouldn’t build anything out of it and I would definitely not sell it to someone. Therefore in the burn it goes! Thanks for watching!
