- 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.
Thanks for the kind words! We trying our best to keep her intact! Thanks for watching
Thank you for preserving history.
When we rebuilt or new built new barns the long screws and that type of dRiver equipment so we had to hand drive 60D pole barn nails by hand 26oz hammer make you a great hammering person😎💕
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.
Sooooo glad to see your not only saving the barn but making it better while keeping it original looking.
I have a small part time high farm
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.
Thanks for explaining the Amish thing . Was wondering myself. The Amish do the best work . Would hire them in a minute. Looks great .
Your right on keeping that barn old looking, it’s beautiful inside 👌👌
🤙🤙👍👍
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.
Beauty job!! Those Amish dudes can work like mules .Seen them take apart an old hog barn at the neighbors. Had it stacked on the ground within one day. Id love to sit in on a podcast one day ,that is a beauty setup guys.
Hey sawyer just thrown something by you on the one wall there you should do a flag wall to find out where all your viewers come from looking good 👍
The reason the "insulation" worked so well to keep it cool was because of the shiny radiant barrier layer. Nice material.
I love that you are saving the barn, it looks great.
Thanks for watching Penny! Trying our best to keep her intact!
Kudos for saving the old barn, - Well done 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Noone can afford to build a barn like that anymore !!
Look how high that corn is!!!
Taber corn may get 9ft....that looks like 11ft or higher
Amazing video, cool inside the barn like country singer lives in, good, working hard on the roof !!😉👍🚜🚜🚜
It's good to see you saving the Barn and remembering your grandfathers hard work. Most these days it means nothing to them to just put the old barns and house's into a pile and burn it.
The interior of that barn is stunning!!!
I see so many barns neglected and slowly deteriorating around my area here in Oregon. It’s so sad. Love to see you saving your barn. 😊
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!!
As always great video keep it Up millions thanks for sharing Merci
Yall got it looking good👍👍🤠
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.
Time for a mr. Cool split system. A very DIY system even includes the tools.
Thanks for the suggestion Bill! We’ll look into it
Congratulations. It looks great.
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!
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.
Good to buy your puppies from the Amish puppy mills too.
That is awesome. I love to see the barns preserved. Thank you.
Barn looks great going to look really good with the sidewalls on it
Very nice guys.
You’re barn is totally awesome where’s Katy’s at what a sweetheart
Awesome video I also enjoyed tork explain-ing the Amish and the air tools and the gas generator and explaineing there driver was non Amish lots good info on the Amish culture in your area..
Like the time lapse
Love it fellas!!! keep up the great work and content!!!
That was some fancy foot work trying to explain what they can use and what they cant when it comes to tools. Why black for the roof a lighter colour would be cooler
Nice looking barn both inside and on the outside
Sweet..thank you...great history..🚜👨🌾🚜🌠
wouldnt think it would be that much with dark steel shows how much the insulation works
Great video. Barn looks great 👍
Looks great dude
You guys are awesome. That's all I wanna say about that !!!
New to the channel. Great video. Nice job with the editing and the time lapse. Congratulations on improving the old barn. 👍
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.
It has been on there since the mid 80’s. Nailed on and leaking from nails coming loose.
Awesome
That looks great. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Brock! Appreciate the support
There do really good work
They sure do! Very grateful for them! Thanks for watching Lester!
thanks for another great video, the barn looks awesome!!!!!
Great job on the video cool editing on the time lapse look forward to seeing your barn when you get the sidling done
Lol so cool how they cut corners and shift their own rules around to justify everything and still yet do one heck of a job ! I can run a telehandler skid steer or any equipment for them if they ever franchise out to Texas ? Lol
When I seen the thumbnail for this video, I thought that you were putting solar panels on the barn, oops guess not.
It always amazes me how these guys climb around on a roof like it's absolutely nothing.
I know right.. they are machines when it comes to roofing or carpentry!
For a moment it looked like solar plates
Love this channel
Many of the Pa Amish use power tools, but only at work not in the home
Awesome!!
Thanks for watching Gene!
Another great video 👍
We appreciate the support Richard!
Looken gooood doods.
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.
I’m here from TicTok!
Thanks for checking us out!
❤ so beautiful
Are you guys going to put solar on the old barn
Maybe in the future! Prices are too high right now to put them on.
Great job! I am a plumber and I have a barn in Massachusetts and would like to restore it for my plumbing shop I would like to find an Amish crew to do this. Work . Any ideas for someone local to me? It’s a 120 x35 foot gambrel cow barn.
Did you fix the header on the big barn door
Are Amish are the same here not many but a few that pit up hay I was wondering why they can have a generator that's gas powerd on there hay making equipment know I know
It's not only safe it's OSHA approved ha ha ha !!!
How thick is that insulation under the metal?
What’s the specs of this insulation and where did you purchase?
I have almost identical barn that I’ve wanted to insulate like this.
If I may ask where in Iowa are you from?
What part of Iowa are they out of I'm in Nebraska and a out to restore a centuries barn
Ask them Amish how they say insulation cause I'll bet it's installation
👍😀
When Religion gets confusing it is not a Religion If with "Gods" help we made these tools God made these tools
First?
Yes sir! Thanks for watching
Your welcome!
ohio?
Your explanation of the do s and dont s of the Amish sound like hoops and red tape that the Democrat Party practice (imo)……lol, good video thow..
Great video!!! Barn is looking good
Thanks Mark! Appreciate the support
