Pouring Concrete In The Rain! - New Pole Barn Floor // My Brother's Barn Part 3 

I copied this barn very closely. I loved it and had the Amish build my brow over the big garage doors just like that! Only thing I really changed was my man door is on the front with the same style overhang and I have a man door on the back as well. Turned out awesome!

Best part was the moving of the trusses? Imagine getting pulled over by a random state trooper with those rigged up like that? Similar thing happened to me. I was pulling an old Oliver disc harrow from one end of our farm to the other on the shoulder of the public road with my truck. Random state trooper came by, saw me, whipped around, pulled me over, and said "You can't do that." I said, "What?" he said "pull whatever that is on the road." After I asked how real farmers did it he thought up his defense and said I had to have a orange triangle on the back....... Cause we all know an orange triangle makes everything better! Great job as usual!

Moving the trusses with the backhoe was genius! You are very clever.

I like the new triple D logo. The color scheme is perfect for your fleet!

Ha ha, it never fails any time I start pouring concrete, there's always drama. I feel your pain brother.

I look forward to the next one.

I’ve had many days getting chased by the rain when pouring concrete! Never a dull moment! Great video Neil 👍🏻

You do a great job with that 755, Neil. Concrete is beyond my DIY abilities too. I agree with letting the professionals do that type of skilled work. - Chad #purpecollarlife

Always rains at the wrong time Neil, but worked out even so . Great job.

First comment - I never thought a guy who's never seen a piece of heavy equipment he doesn't have or want would say that anything other than heart surgery on immediate family members is best left to an expert, much less concrete work. Concrete is probably the most DIY'ed thing on Earth. Second comment - that's a lot of barn if you're not farming. You guys out in corn country have a great lifestyle. I hope you never have to move.

Dig Drive help your family , nice job Neil nice job

Great job, the concrete mixer with the delivery chutes out the front make it look easy. Love the hats.

Watching this build series is making me realize when it’s time to build my pole barn I’m gonna need a lot of help

Is good when you got manny people helping and hard workers around u , looks nice and even hi my friend P.R in tje house 🤟💪🤝

Wow looking very nice Neil 👍🏻 considering that storm you got 😳😉, and the transport of those trusses…Genius 👍🏻. Have a great week 🙂🙋🏼‍♂️👍🏻

Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your time with family, projects make lots of memories for the future. Besides really nice thinks to have. Nice barn

from the Netherlands thanks for the video Neil . looks good

That is a super slick way of moving the trusses. Another great video.

loved the way you moved the trusses.the barns coming out nice

great video Neil !

Great video. I loved the improvising. Things don't always go as planned and you have to work with what you have. Thanks for sharing!!

Nice attention to detail on grading out the pad. A lot of times I’m guilty of stopping when it’s pretty good

That's awesome. I love building projects and pouring concrete. Nate's got an awesome shop there!

Loved that “improvised” hauling method... Looks like a great new structure... Thank you sir.

when i built my pole barn i drilled holes in each post that was in the ground and inserted little pvc pipes with a 90 degree angle on them and i fill them up with oil. It lasts quite a while and keeps the part of the beam thats in the ground soaked with oil so they dont rot

Skills being able to help out and film! Thanks again for taking us along and thanks to your brother for letting you share it with everyone. Definitely wanting a shop this nice one day!

Good thinking on getting the trusses moved! Boy that rain hit hard and quick, glad the concrete still finished out nicely. Wish I could come to Louisville to meet some of you guys but there’s no way to miss work right now. Take care and have a good time!

We do lots of DIY projects too Neil, but I call in the concrete experts to do that part of the job too. Nice to see the progress coming along.

Hey Luke, good to see you again, been a long time, nice job. Good video Neil

looking good!!

Oh, how clever!!! While you were toting those trusses, Take Me Home Country Road was playing in my head. Can you imagine getting away with that in civilization? I put a drain in the parking spot of my shop. Our garage doesn’t have any and we can’t even set a carton in the floor. I don’t know how many pounds of sunflower seeds and deer corn were ruined before I made a wooden pallet to get them out if the pools that drip from the vehicles. Those slanted overhead door entries are the way to go. I even put a 1/2” slant at my walk doors. I just wish there was a way to easily install them in existing floors! They beat a square lip by a country mile! Running a screed board kills my knees and back. I told Dirt Boss I was gonna rent a gas powered screed on my next concrete job. All I needed was to find another concrete pour to try it…. And, just like that Nana came up with one. Next spring she wants a new garage apron poured. The doors leak and… she wants it flattened. So… I got that going for me. However, I will not pour it if there’s a hint of rain. I can’t afford to build a pole barn over it just to keep the rain out…. Like you wealthy corn country boys can!!! 🤓 I’ll see you Thursday.

I kept waiting for someone to say, “hey, ya’ll, watch this,” while moving the trusses.

I need to go back and watch the video where you got stuck. Those are always fun… Unless you are the one in the mud Finally bought my tickets for the expo last night. Look forward to meeting up with you there If I can fight through the crowd of people waiting to talk to you

I don't know about all the drama of having the rain coming, but I do know the feeling of butt naked cold when you're standing on the end of a building right under the eaves and the water's running down on top of you. Brrrr

That is a clever idea to move the trusses. I was curious what you had in mind when I saw the backhoe by the pile of trusses in the last installment

"you don't want to go in that concrete" "yes I do" Ha Ha Ha Ha! Kids are best! I would say let her at it! I love when young ones want to get into the trades! Great update! It makes me excited for the projects that I have coming up when I get home. I took a lot from this video; reminded me a few things! And you are right DIY is great, but its worth noting when something should be left to the professionals; and for me concrete slabs is one as well! I can't wait for the next update!

Boy your brother is gonna owe you some good birthday and christmas presents this year lol

The barn looks great Neil I look at a garage building they want me to pay 40 Percent on it. Really.

That much concrete would definitely call for a pro team. Moving earth or trees you are definitely the guy to call. Would you like to come help me domestic the woods in Pinehurst NC?😁. Ready for the next one.

Great job getting past the road blocks! What do you call that black treatment on the poles where they come in contact with the soil?

Your brother has a sweet barn! The Amish are the way to go too. I watched them in Ann Arbor one week, they threw a entire apartment building up and were gone with in like 4 days. They work so fast and efficient, I’d love to hire them myself. Are they decent on price?

When in doubt, pour it out! Fair advice. Over the long haul the rain will miss more than it'll hit. When it hits it's miserable. Got to watch out for concrete burns on your feet and ankles with water in your boots. Neil on the 755 does your hydraulics allow multi direction of operation simultaneously? For example after dumping a bucket will it allow lowering bucket and curling it back to level at the same time? When my folks first got the 755 either you couldn't do 2 directions at once or it was so slow as to cancel out any advantages. By the time the 955 came it was no longer an issue. Maybe bigger pump, more pressure or different valving. Just curious.

Did the little get to scratch her name into the concrete? Interesting to watch.

Good work👍 Did your essential skills earn you lifetime storage for a Bronco?

Another nice one Neil! Your brother doesn’t make it easy on the interviewer does he😂 typical for Brothers believe me I know…. Nice barn! And brilliant the way you made it rain just add excitement have a great week my friend, your helper is back so hopefully it’ll be a little easier week!

Is there any slope to the floor drains? They're super handy but not sure how to efficiently slope a slab and have it both look good and function well. If the floor isn't sloped, how well do the drains work? Thanks.

Props to you brother for the ingenious truss moving project. That took some creative engineering. However, you know the the Amish build team were laughing their asses off the entire time you were patting yourself on the back. This is how they move a completed barn...ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hgXMwGrkdAM.html All good though, I still got your back Neil. Maybe you can strike a deal with the guys to move a completed fireplace to the house for Kara? Just a thought. This video was a great example of how to make the best out of a crappy situation. Mother Earth doesn't care about your timeline. Nice job Jefe!

Do you know why they would do the concrete before the walls? Just wondering

What depth and what PSI concrete did you pour?

Hi Mr: Koch I got a cuestion you know I got the same back hoe than yours . How much is the cost if you seled aprox...
