i love the way your little children are working with you. it reminds me of working with my father when i was a kid he was a carpenter but he is passed away but i miss those days
You have a BEAUTIFUL family! Wow! I had three daughters and they did what they could to help us build, but this is amazing. All of those kids will cherish this. This is such a great channel! Subbed :)
We have a 100x50 foot pole barn on our property.. But it was once actually a forestry service building in the 40s.. the owner of this land bought it in the 60s took it apart and moved it to this land and rebuilt it himself.. Interestingly enough. the 8x8 posts are not in the ground. They sit on top of 2x10s on top of concrete blocks in the ground. Not even anchored mind you which is ODD.. but its held through how many hurricanes and wind for 60+ years. The beams in the barn are all 4x6 or 6x6 for the roof.. yes 4x6 and 6x6 for the roof beams lol.. Its interesting how it was built. the 50 foot span uses a 4x6 50 foot beam, which you THINK would sag big time... but.. it has 2x10s bolted to the center of the beam and then a giant metal bar bolted through that going to the roof beams that are in a 3 dimentional triangle formation basically all line up like this /\ with that metal bar in the center of them.. So in essence the roof supports its own weight.. its a very ingenious design actually The more weight you put on it, the stronger it gets The prior owner who rebuilt this in the 60s did an amazing job, he built 6 horse stalls, with a slab on 1/4 of the barn, the middle 1/2 is three double doors, for storage for cars or farm equipment. Dirt floor though, and the last 1/4 section is a single double door, with a 4 inch slab 10 120v outlets, and a 50A and 25A 240v outlets. Also is insulated "as best as youd do for 1960 with foam and tar mats behind the dry wall. It also has water in the stalls and the workshop coming directly from the house itself 300 feet away..... I also have a drain in the floor on both slabs, and a 15 foot work bench made out of 4x6 oak posts i assume were scrap. I also have a cinterblock lined with tile chimney for a wood stove in the shop. The shop also has 6 huge windows that flip up for ventilation if i want So the building itself is 80 years old, or 60 if you count the rebuild. The tin roof leaks a little in spots, and needs some new sealent put on top. its leaking through the nails in the 2x4s and rotting them slowely. Im very grateful for that man for building such an amazing, still standing, barn, with evgerything one would want... Water, power, slabs with drains, and yea.. most guys with workshops i noticed dont have water, and dont have 240v power either. And lack of windows in many modern shops/barns is depressing. The man is now buried at the cemetary next to this property. Its interesting looking at how modern pole barns are built versus mine... Mine uses gigantic solid oak beams even the 2x4s are oak.. ALL the wood is real sized.. 2x4 is a 2x4.. a 6x6 or 8x8 or 4x6 is true to size.. Versus the modern cheap barns today using pine for everything, im just noticing how pole barns today are built like houses.. using tons of 2x4 pine boards nailed together like a spider web. Just shows you how well things were built 80 years ago versus today.
Очень хорошие дети.Трудолюбие с детства это радость для папы и мамы.Привет из России.Very good children.Hard work since childhood is a joy for dad and mom.Hello from Russia.
I hope these walls work out for you. I am not sure where you are from. I have a steel building with a poured concrete wall all the way around. But for some reason the wall was poured wider than the overhead door so they filled in the hole in each side with with steel siding. The problem is the steel is just attached to the concrete floor at the bottom where the rest of the building is attached to the poured wall. In the winter when the ground freezes, the floor lifts up and buckles the steel siding in this area because the floor liftes but the wall doesnt because it goes below the frost line. In your case I would think the floor would raise in the winter and try to lift the whole building with those walls sitting on the top of the floor.
Oh dear, that’s no good! I’m in north Florida so the ground doesn’t freeze here thankfully. The coldest we get is generally the low 20’s with an exceptional teen once in a blue moon.
Great video! You have a beautiful family. I think it's wonderful that you have fulfilled the first commandment of the Bible, "be fruitful and multiply". God bless you.
It is wonderful to raise children while working together on a construction site or farm. It teaches thinking, cooperation and not top what in schools where only buyers and left-thinkers are indoctrinated.
Thanks for watching! I drilled holes through the angle iron every few feet and ran lag bolts through into the top plate. It’s the easiest way I found anyway.
Cost mostly. We did a pole barn frame and then as we could afford it we poured the slab and built the walls. We are almost totally done with it but it’s been a two year process.
It’s called sill seal. It adds a protective barrier between wood and concrete to keep moisture from wicking up. It also provides an air and bug seal in case the concrete isn’t perfect flat. That way no wind can sneak through.
It was an educated guess LOL. I basically figured out the length of the two end studs then laid it down and cut the rest to fit in place on the ground.
