I built my barndominion pretty much by myself also. 4 1/2 years later I’m finished. A person gets such satisfaction. The key is to have a dream and a daily goal. Lots of hours but well worth it. Looks like my style of build.
I loved watching this from start to finish. I would be extremely grateful to have the opportunity to build something like this for my family and self one day. I’ll get there!
Unbelievable editing , your story is really down to earth , what you show me on u tube , I am in awe we need more people like you , down to earth with a pinch of salt , wishing you the very Best .
Love video's like this. This teaches us who dont know how to do thing's the way forward. I built my 6x10 shed by myself at 58 yo, and this is grand scale to that, but still i learn from watching. Thank you. I love my tools.
WOW! what an accomplishment! Great Job. I'm a retired contractor, and I really liked the compressed version of your build. I followed much of how and why you did it the way you did. I hope one day, I can do the same. You certainly don't need a gym membership when you build homes. You should be very proud of your new home. Congrats! Dave
What an awesome project and job. I've been watching this since the beginning and super grateful that you've shown us what and how you did this. My hats are off to you! Thanks a bunch!
Great Job Spencer.....now you can enjoy the space for all those up and coming projects, take it easy my friend and see you on the next vid, and of course not forgetting Melissa.
I was stoked when I saw this video come out, great vision and great knowledge to make it happen! I didn't see the clean up crew in this video, they must only be on the tree jobs. Badass Spencer!
I remember, the ground crew did help you out quite a bit on this one. 😁 And it turned out looking great. I hope y'all get many years of memories in this barn. Y'all take care and may Father YHVH bless y'all, brother.
Here’s the million dollar question?? What did you spend on the whole project? You nailed it both in the condensed video and showing it can be done from a DIY standpoint.
Thanks for the encouragement! I don't save receipts but I'm thinking it was in the 20-30k range ... some second hand materials helped keep the cost down
@metaspencer this is a beautiful build for only 20-30k that is awesome and very inspiring I'm hoping that some day I can do something like this as well
First time watching your channel! I just finished my second terrace and all by myself first one in concrete and wood and the second one all metal all details welded by me. Your video reminded me of how much fun was and how hard is handling plywood by yourself. Enjoy your work with the family , I’m a new subscriber.
High tech engineering, I love it! The end result is pretty impressive. Oh, and I’m sure you already know, but Melissa is definitely a keeper. Another great video!
I've been looking at container garage video's over and over with no satisfaction at all and this is the best one yet. This is exactly the one I've been looking for. Thank You, Jim L PS Your just kidding about the CAD plans right???
The editing is off the chart man!! The camera angles and POV you showed is Excellent. What a great video. I shall have to watch your entire series now, I just found your channel. Thank you, Jim in Oregon
@@metaspencer I did, the retrievable rigging, and the " too many tree workers dying" I agree with you, tree climbing and working has some serious risks. Rescue training is a great tool to keep your mind sharp and aware of the risks. Like you said," If there's no one to rescue you, you are stuck. Jim
Damn, I try really hard not to be jealous of what other people have. But boy am I envious of the skills you possess in construction! Awesome final product 😳👍
??? 45+ years ago used a 2 1/2" pipe off of the cutting edge of the loader. brought back to the corners with light chains. Worked well for lifting the truss up to for the pole barn. I did much the same the thing for my covered area for temporary area. Except I the bucket had welded hooks on the corners.
Looks great, finished very nice. I'm working on plans for almost exact same layout. But I'm thinking two container high (if I can make it work) and windows on the stub wall just below the top roof junction.
A whole bunch of hard work and ingenuity condensed into 15 minutes. Very impressive.
thanks for checking it out! yeah, lots of good times out there working on it for sure ... more than 15 minutes hahaa
I built my barndominion pretty much by myself also. 4 1/2 years later I’m finished. A person gets such satisfaction. The key is to have a dream and a daily goal. Lots of hours but well worth it. Looks like my style of build.
Took me a few years as well but worth every minute
The masculine urge to build a barn. Amazing work.
you and your wife are so focused and on a mission. I love the simplicity of the design as well.
thanks for that! yeah, I couldn't have done it without her help for sure
I loved watching this from start to finish. I would be extremely grateful to have the opportunity to build something like this for my family and self one day. I’ll get there!
You’re gonna love what you come up with!

First comment I've seen on this video, and ya put a big smile on my face. thanks for that! Much appreciated buddy
👍👍👍😃@@metaspencer
Amazing, A garage door on both sides would have been my only recommendation.
After using it for a while I completely see your point! Access through one door is a pain ... good point man
Or are least a small 8x8
Love video's like this. This teaches us who dont know how to do thing's the way forward. I built my 6x10 shed by myself at 58 yo, and this is grand scale to that, but still i learn from watching. Thank you. I love my tools.
My first building project was a chicken coop … gotta start somewhere
This is the first time I've seen your channel, but watching this just warms my heart. I'm happy for you guys.
Nice to hear!
You were born with building talent, top job. im sure you will inspire a lot of viewers on your chanel
Thanks for that! Lots of good memories already with this building ... it's turned out pretty dang good ;)

thanks for that. it was a lot of work AND a workout ... fun every day for sure
There were difficult moments, but finishing it was emotional.
Brother, you are really awesome.💯
You said it man. Hard and wonderful all at the same time ;)
That was great to go back over the entire build. It is an awesome space. Thanks for sharing.
Good to hear! I wasn't sure how it would work as a video but seems to hold together okay
What an awesome project and job. I've been watching this since the beginning and super grateful that you've shown us what and how you did this. My hats are off to you! Thanks a bunch!
Watching since the beginning! that's so cool. thanks for following along :)
Great Job Spencer.....now you can enjoy the space for all those up and coming projects, take it easy my friend and see you on the next vid, and of course not forgetting Melissa.
You said it -- nice to have the space! :) thanks for the comment

It's funny how it is: when there's work to be done the cleanup crew always calls in sick :)
Bloody well done. I salute you all.
Thanks for that -- it turned out pretty good and was a fun one for sure
Congratulations. I built one, but with a different front facade. Your attitude serves as inspiration to many others.
It’s cool to hear you did something similar!!
I remember, the ground crew did help you out quite a bit on this one. 😁 And it turned out looking great. I hope y'all get many years of memories in this barn. Y'all take care and may Father YHVH bless y'all, brother.
I definitely couldn't have done it without the help -- you said it. Thanks for that encouragement my friend! :)
This barn looks great! Making it happen!
thanks for checking it out -- yeah, we're pretty happy with it ;)
As an engineer that has over a decade experience using CAD, I'm very impressed with the level of detail in your model. Very nice.
Cardboard aided design works out haha
I'm totally impressed! Awesome job!
Big thanks!
Most impressive thing I have seen in 2024!
Wow, nice of ya to say ... and in November no less! :)

Fabulous to watch.
Thank you for sharing.
Awesome effort!
Big thanks!
Loved how you just got on with it, head down and graft graft graft not to mention how skilled you are too ❤ from the UK
Thanks for that! UK woohoo!
The more time passes, the more I like you man. You remind me of myself quite often.
Thanks for that :)
Built to last, pride of workmanship, great result ❤️👍
Thanks for that!
Seriously impressive Spencer! ❤
thanks for that!
I always enjoy finding new channels when the build is already done so I don't have to wait haha, Great job!
I hear ya man -- sucks to have to wait for ages for each episode in the build to drop haha ... thanks for dropping a comment

Those projects you've been doing sound great. And welded! Excellent stuff

she's taken bro calm down
I couldn't have done it without her help, that's for sure! thanks for checking it out
LOL

This is exactly the one I've been looking for.
Thank You,

PS Your just kidding about the CAD plans right???
Good to hear it! Yeah I’m pretty happy with the building even if there never were any plans
Fly by the seat of your pants....I like it.
Sorry I missed the last 2 minutes of the video but it is the best how to video that I have ever seen
hahahhahaha ya got me on that one! thanks for checking it out :)
@@metaspencer lol
Incredible courage and hard work.
I’m impressed and wish you all the best.
Thanks for that, friend! Much appreciated
Framing looks tight. I can see you have been watching Kyle & Greg!
Yeah those guys are a total inspiration -- a bit more organized than I am, but they've gotta be ;)
@@metaspencer don’t sell yourself short. You killed it amigo!
This is top tier badassery.
That's what I'm talkin' about :) Thanks man
Wow really enjoyed your journey!! I am looking into homes like this for myself and wife. Great work looking to watch more!!
thanks for checking it out and good luck with the build
So impressive to watch! You have many skills brother☝️
STAY SAFE
Stihl Born! good hearing from ya man ... yer a legend!
AutoCADboard💙 I learned that once you have the vision, go for it. Thanks for the inspiration. 👍🏾
You said it! that vision takes hold in your head and just guides ya!
Outstanding 👌🏿
Well done 👊🏿
1/3 in. Love your editing. Earned a sub👍
excellent! great to hear
what a project! I have dreams of making a timber frame with logs from my projects
sounds like it's gonna be a great building!
What a team 🎉❣️ You guys amaze me! Such an impressive build❣️🥳😎
Little by little, we got there!
Great build. Go to show what hard work can accomplish.
Big thanks!
I was starting to get a little impressed with your DIY skills but when you built the stairs, Whoa..lol
Great job and beyond custom! 1 Man Army!
A guy has gotta have stairs :) Thanks for that man. Much appreciated
(actually, the barn cats mainly use the stairs)
@@metaspencer 😆
That is huge to have a partner willing to help out like that
You bet!!
The editing is off the chart man!! The camera angles and POV you showed is Excellent. What a great video. I shall have to watch your entire series now, I just found your channel.
Thank you, Jim in Oregon
Thanks Jim! Much appreciated and I see you checked out one of my tree videos too ... most eggsellent :)
@@metaspencer I did, the retrievable rigging, and the " too many tree workers dying"

Like you said," If there's no one to rescue you, you are stuck.

I’m thinking about doing something like that. Definitely those autocad drawing lol
Amazing work and an amazing building you made!
Big thanks!
I am super envious, great job!
Much appreciated!
Spencer you did a great job 👏 very nice ✊️
Thanks buddy!
yeah!! a buster combo barn build onezie. 😀
hahaha I like how you put that!
Great achievement doing a lot on your own. 😊
Big thanks!
Impressive. Quit the craftsman!
thanks for that! it was a fun project for sure
Hugely impressed!
Big thanks! It's been a fun one for sure
Damn, I try really hard not to be jealous of what other people have. But boy am I envious of the skills you possess in construction! Awesome final product 😳👍
Thanks for the compliment! Evenings and weekends paid off on this one :)
That’s an awesome build!!! I love it!!! I want one!!!
I think you may need to build one my friend:)
Enjoyed your video so much! Well done! I always wanted a box barn built in 16 minutes. : - )
I might have taken a tad longer than 16 minutes in the real world ;)
Mate, that’s an inspirational 16 minutes. Well done 👍🍻🎯🇦🇺
Good to hear! I'm pretty happy with how it turned out :)
Your CAD drawings are on par with my CAD drawings
The precision of cardboard is unmatched
Good job that is smart use of containers
Thanks for checking it out
This was a great build. Definitely will do one🗣️
Thanks for checking it out
Mighty fine job!!!!!! God Bless!!!!!!!
big thanks!
Tanks Man! Wish you the best 👍🏻
Great build and is detailed and it's awesome. thank you
Thanks for that! yeah, I had a lot of fun with the project
That is really nice! Very inspiring!
Thanks for checking it out!
that's a neat way to put trusses up.
We were glad it worked out!
What a beautiful build
Thanks for that!
I really enjoyed seeing your project and all your work. Turned out awesome. Now I’m wanting one. Hahaha
Thanks for checking it out!
So super cool.
Great work sir!
Thanks man
@@metaspencer I’m just not sure I could get around all the cad drawings to complete the project. Just too expensive. Lol
Solid work mate.
Big thanks! It’s been fun

Legend! Well done! Great video! Thanks for sharing!
thanks for checking it out!
Great work!
Epic build. You must get a buzz from it whenever you see it or are using it.
yeah you said it: that great "I built this" feeling ... I'm pretty happy with it
That was a cool idea n genius idea love how u built the barn
Thanks for that! Yeah, I've been pretty happy with how it turned out
Impressive work.
I like auto cadding in pen as well, it's so much more efficient. Hugely inspiring video as I am about to purchase bare land and start building. 🤘🍻
Your at exciting point! So cool
That was an awesome build!
Thanks for checking it out!
Excellent job, would love some land to build this my self !!
Looks great, finished very nice. I'm working on plans for almost exact same layout.
But I'm thinking two container high (if I can make it work) and windows on the stub wall just below the top roof junction.
Oh wow that sounds awesome! Will be a great space. I’d love to see a pic when it’s done
Amazing video my friend . Greeting from Illinois
Thanks for that! We lived in IL for about 15 years ... good stuff
Great, wish I had space for something like that.
ya gotta build up! stack those boxes!
Fantastic content!! This was great to watch.
Great to hear! :)
This is what men do.
And women too
@valad1396 yep!!
"Basic Dude Stuff"
So awesome!
Pretty cool seeing a very familiar concrete truck, howdy neighbor
Someone else from the fingerlakes! good to hear from ya!
Mighty impressive!!
thanks for that! ;)
Nice build ! Only thing I didn't see was sill seal or a separation from the treated sill and the roof of the box
Yep didn’t run the seal there … and I’ve even got a few leftover rolls! Haha
Bravo man, you made lots of work alon
Thanks man -- yeah, it was a fun project for sure
Yes I would like some of those blueprints
Sorry that was kinda a joke -- it was all "cardboard aided design" on this one
EXCELLENT JOB.
Very nice! Love the content, and also have two containers I'd like to turn into a similar building.
2 containers! You’re half way there
Very detailed Auto-cad drawings....i about choked to death on that 1. Glad i was just taking a drink and not chewing on something 😂😂😂
Haha good to hear :) cardboard aided design
@@metaspencer ah. Now I get it. Even funnier 🤣
❤❤❤Job well done. Amazing barn that you built. Greetings Dirk Belgium
Thanks buddy!
AutoCAD drawing 😂. Great build and video
BEAUTIFUL!!!
Way to go man That's awesome!
Thanks for checking it out!
great build..👍
thanks for that!
