- Today was move in day in the new building. The floor plan we used allowed us to get everything from the old wood yard in under the roof of the new building.

Adam - you may want to install some netting material in your building above your saw mill prior to moving in, keeping the bird droppings off your equipment.
Suggest turning the firewood conveyers 180 degrees and have them all outside. Allows greater arc swing of conveyers to load baskets and gives an entire bay of extra room under roof. It puts you and the engine under roof and the conveyers and the baskets outside and gives you tons of extra "room for activities".
Or maybe just the splitter/conveyer and leave the Japa alone...
Conveyors going outside is a good idea so he isnt jammed up with totes in there.
Dont put a tank of fuel inside a building.
If it catches on fire, your whole building goes up in smoke.
Your insurance company wont like it.
I think his argument is it's easier for him to load full logs from the outside and only move IBC totes within the narrower space.
He talks about the shade then sets up the equipment so he'd be standing outside. Seems like the firewood processors should be turned around
Hi Adam, pallet racks. Start market-placing for used ones. Both for the barn itself and the lean-tos.
It will double up your space.
It's great for attachments, fuel storage etc.
Great setup and beautiful barn!
*insert insane shop jealousy*. Seriously a great setup. Put attachments on plastic pallets, easy to shuffle around off the ground and no chance of them breaking, get the ones with open bottoms, easly to get under
Start a compost business using your sawdust and get a mulcher. Get chickens to turn the compost. Then you can sell mulch and compost along with firewood to give you balanced income in the spring and summer.
Maybe think about heavy duty mats like they put in horse stalls for around your wood processor. You would be able to sweep up all the wood scraps.
Adam i would move the ibc totes to dry into the bottom yard which is now free. Keep the area around the new building clutter free and tidy to look at from the road. You dont want to take the tidy or well presented look away from your beautiful home or pond having it looking too commercial. Im so happy for you, your living my dream
You're going to have to use the space for a little while and then just do some tweaks to make things more efficient. It seems to me that there is going to be a bottle neck with getting all of the split fire wood out from between the splitters and the lumber mill. What I would do is to make a scale drawing (cartoon) with the space that is available, include posts that you will have to work around, then using pieces of paper cut to scale, on business card stock, you can move these around until you find the right fit for efficiency. You will still have to work with the layout a while to work out the bugs. Great video Adam thumbs up.
For the attachment storage, I'd go with pallet racking if you're going to stack items.
Also, because of your acreage and now wood yard with a building, I would look into a wild fire trailer/set up. When your pond is filling again, you have a great source to draft from and prevent tragedy from destroying your hard work.
The overhang and lean-to have proven to be very useful. Well done, Adam. 👍
I like the layout. Well done thus far!
Make sure the shop refrigerator is stocked up on cold drinks.
Amazing setup. Id move that fuel tank tho, maybe over near the axis to the left?
And you can clean chips out of gravel, its just another part time job😂😂😂😂
Hello Adam, The layout looks Fantastic 👏 You will see your equipment stop aging. Great Help from neighbor Doug🪵🇺🇸
I also just finished a 30 X 40 heated shop building. I live in Iowa. Another option you have is to concrete one bay as a maintenance bay to get off the gravel, work on machines, etc. You could also consider a work pit to get under machines…and/or an overhead I-beam stand with a chain hoist.
Very nice barn Adam! I'm happy for you and your equipment to get some much needed protection.
Beautiful- get you a plastic owl to put in those rafters!
13:31 attachment storage - put in pallet racks 2 or 3 levels high and put the attachments on pallets. Your tractor is capable of putting up pallets on a pallet rack with the forks.
The old wood processing area would make an ideal location for a charcoal kettle - to brew up charcoal from your offcuts
I agree with previous comment, pallet racks for attachment storage is your best option. Go vertical 🕺
Adam, Another benefit to moving your equipment underneath your building is you have many posts and rafters to hold cameras. Great job!!
Good job, Adam!! If you ever have electricity in your building, maybe adding a few outdoor fans would be nice. Great job placing your equipment! God bless y'all! ♥️🙏👍
That’s a great idea
stick a couple of solar panels on the roof to run the fans, logic says it will be sunny when you are using the fans. Could even use it to charge your battery packs…… see what Captain Kleeman did on his barn/workshop. 😀👋🇬🇧
@@buttonmonkey6845 Brilliant!! 👍
I have a "firewood barn" and it is a game changer. Not only in the hot summer, but you can now be productive in the rain and the snow. You are going to love it! 🤠👍
Move all your drying wood down to the flat spot so that would open that area closer to the shop so you could have your logs closer to you.
CONGRATS! LOOKS GREAT!
2:47 It's real nice of your neighbor Doug to come by and help!
Instead of gravel I would suggest asphalt millings, spread and compact in place, easier to clean than gravel but no mud, and can be used as a good base for concrete later.
ETA: you might consider a dust extractor to suck and dump the sawdust outside into a tote bladder.
buy a couple of old Trailer containers, paint them black and make them into Kilns (fans, dehumidifiers solar set up for power, etc.,) so you can dry the lumber/fire wood faster
I'm glad you did this as a young man and I hope you have many years to use it. I so wish that I had built a bigger workshop years ago - all that space you have along with the ability to add on to it when needed - I'm in entire admiration of your zeal to take care of business. Please take care of yourself and your family!
The fuel tanks could be on the north-side outside of the building for shade and ventilation? Your building is tall and should cast a good shade.
I hope to see a pond update soon or i am gone!!!
id mill a ton of massive lumber and build pallet racking type shelving for your attachments.
YOU CLOSE the door on the cab so it will not be torn off when working in semi-confinement! Good job!
Industrial pallet rack check some online auctions.
3 section wide and 3 tiers tall should give you room enough to store 18 attachments and leave room to park something in front of the rack
Hi Adam you still haven't charged the Angle of the grizzly bars they need to be lifted up bit more so you can get more scrap material to fall through just a suggestion i think it would work better the building looks great 👍
Very nice…if it was me I’d be concerned with so much movement under the shelter, I would for sure be done damaged the bldg. Thinking out loud I’d first start with only the most used splitter under the shelter and grow from there, adding and placing after some work time in a confined space. Great job on the bldg too.
Adam, I don't know how close or far away you are but have you thought about contacting Tom Haus with Concrete with the Haus' ??? The building is exceptionally nice. Have a wonderful day & keep on keeping on!!!
My .02, flip your processors around to dump the split wood outside. Easier to get trailers in and out, and the split wood doesn't need to be under cover.
It ALWAYS looks nice the first time you place equipment and tools in a new building.
Greetings from CT, I've been a subscriber from just about day one and I really enjoy your content. Keep it up, Adam!
My wife is from CT
@@HometownAcres I remember you saying that. I've been here in Bethel all my life.
i am interested in a pond update :)
Seems very well thought out and having all that stuff under cover is going to be great on the hot, or rainy days!
The next thing you need to consider is a Hydraulic Power Plant so that you can hook up any piece of equipment and have the noise of the engine away from you. It is going to echo and reverberate so much off the metal building tin walls and roof.
Nice set up!! Great loooking equipment shed!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Just a thought. If you can’t afford to pour concrete right now, what about paver slabs? You can get a couple of pallets of 24”x18” slabs for under the saw mill.
Rack/stack your attachments. You will love not having to move things around to get the one you want. Consider finding or building a trailer frame under your fuel caddy. My buddy and I have identical 100 gallon caddy’s but his is on wheels…mine on a pallet like yours.
I am actively looking for a trailer frame to put mine on.
Really enjoyed hearing the real audio during the sped up moments. Congrats to your new shed lol.
Just add some interior walls with shelves A few ceiling fans over the work area and always be comfortable. Might add cabinets at some point and a ceiling! What could be..
You have a good helper assisting you with the move. Did you incorporate some of his process flow suggestions from his recent video in your new layout? I see a number of folks on UA-cam that seem to like shuffling wood from one pile to another. I believe in the one-touch system.
Way to go adam! A dream come true. Stay safe healthy and cool. Bill H from Cranberry Township
Alright Doug!!
Nothing less from an accountant 😂. Excellent layout.
Nice set up Adam! This will be nice to be out of the weather.
I’m sure you will rearrange it all as you use them, tweak the way it’s set up. Or not and it’s the ideal setup. Either way you can move them easily.
Very nice! Pro setup now! 👌
Looks good but with the fuel storage & machines you should really have some fire extinguishers ( foam & water )
Looks great
I would only put concrete under the porch area so you have a nice work area for the sawmill and leave the rest stone untill the budget allows
lookin great man! an aerial shot of the barn, log storage and old processing yard would be helpful in thinking of ideas on how best to use the space. is there room for a tractor trailer to drive around the barn when dropping logs off? from what i could see/visualize, if you did make that you your new drying yard you would have much more room for separating logs and storing them.
Adam it seems like you have gone back to the one that you brought to the dance, firewood, good for you.
Adam, when did you get a second sawmill? I don't remember a video of you upgrading. Good thing to have a second set of eyes to look at the overall usage of a space (logistics is useful). Look into getting a kiln for slab/firewood drying. I would put the fuel tank of the opposite of the lean-to. Stay safe.
Good layout! The fuel tank could be in the building somewhere up high enough to park e.g. the side by side under, out of the way and ideal for gravitational flow, however since its a tank with an electric pump, the last argument does not really count
You have the mill to cut beams for a heavy-duty attachment rack.
Put up pallet racking to store your attachments, just keep the pallet forks on the ground 😊
You can add custom wooden chocks and blocks on a pallet so that the attachment sits central and stable and at the perfect spot for re attachment
Maybe get a flatbed trailer to throw saw wood on, pull it out with tractor, & then unload it away from building. Less chance of damage.
Wow! Absolutely amazing. A dream building/wood yard for anyone. Can’t wait to see how the layout works out for you.
Looks great! You did a nice job arranging your equipment in there.
For tractor attachments, get some pallet racking. The attachment can go directly on the shelf if its from the front, or rear attachments can be put on pallets and then forked onto shelves. Same idea as the attachment racks but basically prebuilt
#1 you will find you will need lean two buildings for lumber / firewood storage and drying areas. Having those will let you keep your lumber dry and it presents better to customers. #2 as for attachments under roof is all ways best, as hoses dry rot extra.. if you can get your self some havey duty racks , you might be able to stack some stuff. facebook markets place is good for that.. I guess it come down to what your market is more, fire wood or lumber? I sujest 8 to 10 ft deep lean two's with 10 ft wide openings. some 18 ft if possible.. get the Hard scape done is all ways the most $$$$$. things will change as you grow.
Very very nice looking set up!!! If I could make one suggestion before you start using your Japa and the other splitters I would raise them with treated lumber to a better height for someone your size . Ive noticed you hump you shoulders and back when you use this and other machines . As a person whose a tad bit older I know that what you do as a young person affects the way you body will be when you older . Maybe just raising the Japa 3 to 5 inches up will save you some back pain in the future . Anyways great video as always !!!
I love how your building turned out 👍 I think you have a pretty good, efficient layout so far. Good start with plenty of room for refinements. I think racking under the back lean-to will help with your attachments. Put your lesser used attachments on the top, and the more frequently used ones on the bottom, plus room in front for your most used attachments. When seasons change you can switch them around for the needs of the season.
Great setup my friend!!!
Congratulations on the new *office*!!! 👍🏻 What a great addition, work year-round in a comfortable space!! ☀️💕🥳
Looks great Adam, you're ready for the test run.. look for some used pallet racks for the attachments. Keep all the ibc totes down below in the new clearing.
for storing the attachments, get yourself a pallet rack and set it on a couple of pavers. Then you can fit 4 attachments in a 4ft x 10ft footprint.
Hey Adam, awesome setup. So happy that you got out of the weather.
Adam, I think you got a great plan there… It looks great. I look forward to seeing if it works out as well as you expected to and if not, what changes you make keep up the good work…
Have a day!
The new building and setup is supernice. I would move the fuel to the leanto.
Hi Adam, If it were me, I'd get the fuel storage away from the building and give it a cover of its own. Shalom/gw
Came out great! Consider putting the Vevor tank inside behind one of the posts separating the stalls. You likely would never get close to the post with the truck/tractor/ex for obvious reasons. That will negate the impediment outside.
I use IBC totes also. I wouldn't move the full totes. As you split and fill totes take them up where you had your spliters if that's where you decide to store them. Moving all those full totes takes alot of time and fuel. I have well over 100 totes and having them arranged so you are rotating your stock is a big deal.
Outstanding!!!...
Awesome setup. Definitely the attachment racks and also finished lumber racking to organise your equipment and milled lumber. 🤙🏻
Nice job looks great!
Dont put a tank of fuel inside/near a building.
If it catches on fire, your whole building goes up in smoke.
Your insurance company wont like it.
Great building, and good planning of your equipment storage.
I like the rack implement idea you could put the fuel tanks there also. !!!
Well done
Looks great. Good for you
I am sure you will enjoy the shade in the summer and cover in the winter. Keeping the equipment out of the weather will extend the life of hoses and prevent rust.
Nice set up flash!!
Use the lean too area for attachment storage. Get some pallet racking to store the lighter attachments up high.
Adam, you can make that area a full length log yard and you have the room to separate the wood if you'd like.
Congratulations man. This is such a big leap forward!
Awesome Adam! Just awesome!
Great drying yard!
Maybe start keeping slow drying wood in the old " new woodyard". Keep faster drying wood in the bins for a background for your processing videos.
That looks great so far
If it were me, I'd set up a large industrial fan blowing across the sawmill & splitters !
That is the best "Hobbiest" set-ups of all times..
Thank you
You're right about the gravel. We cut our logs on the concrete driveway and then use a 6hp leaf sweeper to clean it up. Using a blower worked for a while but soon it just builds up. Get the concrete, its tax deductable.
Great video I'm so happy for you all your family kids will enjoy being down there also As far as what to do with the lower yd I would say get to work start splitting some wood pay for the building Thanks again for the video
