  • In this one the Amish builders come to the farm to restore our 80 year old barn. They re-roof the barn and replace it with new shiny black tin.
    Welcome to it! This’ll Do Farm is a 6th generation family farm located in Southeast Iowa that is run by a father-son duo Tork and Sawyer. Sawyer and Tork are the force behind their family farm taking care of pigs, along with farming the family’s acres. Together, they promote agriculture in a positive light by recording their day-to-day life’s on the farm. Both Tork and Sawyer have a burning desire to grow the farm bigger and bigger and hope to showcase to the world what it takes to be a farmer. Come along for the ride!

    Hats off to your dad for preserving a legacy building like that. Almost no one builds a barn like that anymore. Good strong old growth lumber those buildings are almost priceless.

    I Love it when buildings like these get preserved, it breaks my heart when I'm watching a barn find video and the poster mentions they are tearing it down instead of reinforcing or restoring

    I had new standing seam put on our old dairy barn, still have the winch, fan and loose Hay grapple my Grand Father used. As of late I use an Amish crew since contractors want to build new homes. The Amish have a English driver that works for them and you are right, the rules apply to different areas on what they can do.
    As you get older things change, electricians, plumbers and contractors have since passed, I found myself looking at the Amish for the dedication and skills they possess. Pay attention to Dad and Cheers from NW Ohio.

    I have Amish here in Ohio re-roofing my 1890 bank barn. It has already gotten a new foundation and the bad beams replaced, but I use mine for farming. It houses hogs. I raise heritage breed Red Wattle hogs that also have free access to pasture. I can hardly believe how much they eat. I actually think about 40% of their diet. I also throw in 3rd cutting alfalfa dailt, and only about 5-6 pounds of grain per hog daily.

    Using a white tin roof would have been much cooler than the black just with the sun reflection off the roof.

    The Amish I have met have no problem with electricity: They have a problem with the electric utility, because it's part of the US financial system. Like you said, as long as they generate their own electricity or compressed air using bottled propane or fuel they buy, they can hook all their power tools up to it. I imagine they could be big solar power advocates now, too, just not grid-tied systems. I once visited an Amish buggy shop where every shop tool, drill press, lathe, etc. ran on compressed air from their own propane-powered compressor. We were taking an Amish guy there to buy some battery-powered lights for his buggy. My wife (vet) had a long talk with him about horse health care.

    The reason the "insulation" worked so well to keep it cool was because of the shiny radiant barrier layer. Nice material.

    Beautiful barn. A white roof would've made it cooler in the summer, but the black will warm it in the winter. Good stuff. Used to live in Washington County IA. Moved to Ohio 32 years ago, but I'm still an Iowan at heart! Go Hawks!!

    Realy liked the thoughts of you guys to preserve the barn for the next generation to come. Although it is not functional in todays standards it still is that typical American barn as we know it, so kudos to you,thanks and greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer, btw great editing

    We used styrofoam to insulate our hog barns. We even used it on the outside walls of our house. It made a huge difference.

    Me and my dad worked with amish in maryland building his good buddys home. We also helped them at their farm while we where down there i was 6yo they could use light bulbs, electricity, and they had tractors. If it was for the betterment of the farm they could use these things but only for the farm.

    If you put a couple operable windows at the peak of each end ... Maybe with some fans... The barn would likely not need A/C at all. Heat rises and would exit the building.

    Beautiful improvement, barn will last a long time. We had the Amish build both of our machine sheds and the they were such an interesting group of people. They spoke German amongst themselves but the best thing was they would share some of their wives pastries, go for the soul but probably not for the heart!

  • @MyLilMule

    The Amish here in NE Ohio are much more lax on the "modern conveniences". They can own and use cordless tools and even use electricity to charge them. They can also own and use heavy equipment like excavators and skid steers. Even cell phones. But they are only allowed to use it for business purposes only. But they cannot drive to and from the job site. I've even had them bring a microwave and plug it into my garage for their lunch breaks!

    We have a barn nearly identical to yours that was built by my grandfather back in the 20's. Amish put a metal roof on it for us in 2013. The Amish have done a lot of work for us in the last 15 years here in NW Missouri. Highly recommend them. Great channel. Love seeing your videos.

    Black roof looks spectacular. Thanks for preserving the old barn so many are falling down now for lack of a good roof. It doesn't take long once the roof starts to go. You can tell on the inside yours has been well cared for. How long did the last metal roof last? Was it failing or was this just an upgrade/replacement. Thanks for the info. I have one I am doing in the next few years.

    thanks for sharing this process. We are purchasing a property with a 1890 barn. Previous owners had the Amish put a Green metal roof on it that looks just like this. I am wondering if they put insulation like this on it or not, hopefully we can find out. Did your Amish crew give you any warranty on the work or materials? A tree hit part of it that needs repairing.
