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 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.
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.
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.
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!!
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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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..
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.
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.
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.
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!
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
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
We are about to do this to our barn. We have all the supplies on site now waiting for the Amish crew. Can we get an update on how your summer and winter temps are inside and is it a challenge to keep it comfortable?
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.
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.
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
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😎💕
Thank you for preserving history.
Your right on keeping that barn old looking, it’s beautiful inside 👌👌
🤙🤙👍👍

Yall got it looking good👍👍🤠
Thanks for explaining the Amish thing . Was wondering myself. The Amish do the best work . Would hire them in a minute. Looks great .
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.
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
Amazing video, cool inside the barn like country singer lives in, good, working hard on the roof !!😉👍🚜🚜🚜
Kudos for saving the old barn, - Well done 👍👍👍👍👍👍
As always great video keep it Up millions thanks for sharing Merci
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!!
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. 😊
Love it fellas!!! keep up the great work and content!!!
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 reason the "insulation" worked so well to keep it cool was because of the shiny radiant barrier layer. Nice material.
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 👍
I love that you are saving the barn, it looks great.
Thanks for watching Penny! Trying our best to keep her intact!
Congratulations. It looks great.
The interior of that barn is stunning!!!
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
That is awesome. I love to see the barns preserved. Thank you.
Using a white tin roof would have been much cooler than the black just with the sun reflection off the roof.
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
Noone can afford to build a barn like that anymore !!
Looks great dude
Barn looks great going to look really good with the sidewalls on it
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.

Good to buy your puppies from the Amish puppy mills too.
Sweet..thank you...great history..🚜👨🌾🚜🌠

You guys are awesome. That's all I wanna say about that !!!
Very nice guys.
Nice looking barn both inside and on the outside

Look how high that corn is!!!
Taber corn may get 9ft....that looks like 11ft or higher
New to the channel. Great video. Nice job with the editing and the time lapse. Congratulations on improving the old barn. 👍
I would like to see what the barn looks like with new siding on it . I have a barn like it . Very good video I really in joyed it. Thanks
Great job on the video cool editing on the time lapse look forward to seeing your barn when you get the sidling done
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.
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
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.
Great video!!! Barn is looking good
Thanks Mark! Appreciate the support

It has been on there since the mid 80’s. Nailed on and leaking from nails coming loose.
That looks great. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Brock! Appreciate the support
We used styrofoam to insulate our hog barns. We even used it on the outside walls of our house. It made a huge difference.
Love this channel

Did you fix the header on the big barn door
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
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

Looken gooood doods.

There do really good work
They sure do! Very grateful for them! Thanks for watching Lester!
Awesome
When I seen the thumbnail for this video, I thought that you were putting solar panels on the barn, oops guess not.
wouldnt think it would be that much with dark steel shows how much the insulation works
Awesome!!
Thanks for watching Gene!
I’m here from TicTok!
Thanks for checking us out!
For a moment it looked like solar plates
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.
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.
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!
What part of Iowa are they out of I'm in Nebraska and a out to restore a centuries barn
How thick is that insulation under the metal?
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.
If I may ask where in Iowa are you from?
Many of the Pa Amish use power tools, but only at work not in the home
It's not only safe it's OSHA approved ha ha ha !!!
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
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!
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..
ohio?
Great video. Barn looks great 👍
