Great work! One thing that's really helpful when using a concrete mixer is to set up a stand fan to blow perpendicular to the drum opening. It will carry 95% of the concrete dust away from you and your lungs and makes the chore so much nicer. :)
Hey mate, looks fantastic and really good. Here is a tip for your next poor to make it easier to the previous one; You can build a funnel shaped box which is a bit longer than the width of your wheelbarrow. And about 3.5 to 4 inch wide at the bottom which is centered over your formwork. Now you can tip it straight from the wheelbarrow with spilling and without shoveling. Thanks for this series it is very enjoyable to watch
Another tip I learned years back building dirt jumps for my BMX bike. This may not apply as well for you here as the wheelbarrow handles may get in the way. But I always like to turn the wheel barrow around and point it in the direction of travel while empty. This makes it a lot easier since you don't have to turn around a fully loaded, heavy wheel barrow.
Look into one of those magic carpet "load handlers". They sell them at Harbor Freight. While a dump bed is by far the easiest, those magic carpets are worth the money if hauling dirt, sand, gravel, manure, etc. I was being lazy and not setting mine up when getting some screened top soil from the local greenhouse. After the 2nd or 3rd load I got it out and installed it. Much easier than shoveling! They aren't perfect but they do cut down the total amount of shoveling required.
@@MANaboutTOOLS your welcome. There are a lot of DIY on UA-cam, but this really stood out. Camera angles, voiceover, how it was done was very professional. Bob Villa ain’t got sh*t on you. Hope you get the reference. Cheers and keep up the excellent work.
A beautiful piece of craftsmanship, just the size and esthetics that I would like in my own garden. We live in the southwest where storms, strong winds and tornados are common in the Spring. Would you recommend any additional strengthening in the post and beam construction to withstand better these weather conditions? Thank you.
Great job and hope to copy this next season ;) One question though: when you build the form and fill it with concrete how do you prevent the concrete from sagging into the lower door part?
Thanks! The concrete is thick enough to hold it's shape (if you will). The exposed concrete at the bottom of the door can bulge up slightly. I do scrim some off with a trowel a few times until this stops and the surfe is flat and in line with the forms.
Very nice work. I did some solo concrete work this summer with a mixer too. If only my property was flat like yours! One thing that saved a lot of grief was buying one of those cheap Chinese concrete vibrators from eBay. They're kinda cheesy but they do work very well and get rid of bubbles like a champ for not very much money. I think I paid $45 for mine about 3 years ago.
excellent build, I need a ssmaller build but this has given me a great basis for building my own and living in an old cottage in england thid fits better than a standard off the shelf greenhouse from one of the sheds
Your forms are built wrong. You should lay your horizontal 2x4s against your form wall to give it more support and narrow side against the form. Fasten this wailer from the inside of the form, then fasten your upright 2x4 (also narrow side) against the wailer. This makes a much stiffer form that won't bow.
Are you ready to build the best chicken coop ever? Then you need this book! ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxzaRUJNcbypw-fRBDbqqz43ULIa-1EGP- It has tons of awesome barns and coops that you can choose from, without making you dizzy with too many options. The book is super easy to follow, with lots of pictures and videos to show you how it's done. But don't expect to learn everything about chickens here, this book is all about the structures. You'll have to look elsewhere for chicken care tips. Trust me, this book is a must-have for any chicken lover!

Great idea! Thanks!
This guy does quality work; building for the long-term - the only way to do it.
13:36 you have a very relaxing voice and the monotony of striping forms puts me into a nice vegetative state. Keep it up as I love relaxing.
Thanks for uploading these more detailed videos. I enjoy watching them even if I'm never going to build a greenhouse.
More to come!
Thank you for understanding how drainage pipe works and putting the holes down where they belong.

I appreciate that you show and explain enough detail that I might be able to follow you on a project of my own.
Please do!
This is on my long term honey do list. Thanks
amazing project ! I will follow it to make my first green house 6m x 4m . Thanks for sharing !
thank you for sharing. i learned alot from your video.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent content and superb presentation.
Many thanks!
That was great Kent! I'm glad you showed the stripping of the forms. I'm really loving this build so far.
Thank you very much!!
I always enjoy watching your builds! Concrete came out great!
great work.
Awesome project and summary! Thank you!
You're very welcome!
Great work 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
fantastick build

Great call on the vegetable oil. This was a superb tutorial. 👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks! Great tip too! We use a recip saw without the blade. We press the shoe of the saw against the form to vibrate it. Works pretty well.
Thanks for the detailed breakdown, very informative.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Nice job, looks awesome
Thanks!
One question: if I live in zone 6 where we get deep freezes do I need to pour a footer? to build this
If I live in an area where we have cold winters, should I place footers below the frost line? My greenhouse will be 80 sq ft
Great!!!
I feel like you should have released the videos weekly as parts and at the end released the video summary of the whole build
I was considering that.
@@MANaboutTOOLS Yeah maybe for the next build go that route
So where are the plans you talked about? Great video and ready to get building!
Thanks! Plans here for a very reasonable price (IMHO) manabouttools.com/greenhouse-digital-plan/
I swear I watch this one already 🤔
I'm sure you've seen parts of it. It's the first in the detailed build series. I go into more depth on this project.
Lol... he specifically stated he'd upload a series of more detailed videos in the condensed version of the build.
What was your total all in spent on this greenhouse, looks awesome?
Will touch on that in an upcoming video.
This is way too complex for a novice like me. Can we use concrete blocks instead?
If you dont mind me asking, How much does a project like this cost? I know wood prices vary but it be nice to have an idea.
I'll be doing a greenhouse follow up video where I'll talk about costs
I’m thinking you should just come and do mine in California.
What program do you use to build your designs?
Sketchup Pro
I love working with concrete but I always forget it takes 5 times as long to build the forms than it does to mix and pour.
Absolutely!!
👍👍👍

20 seconds in and no kitty cats yet...
