I have noticed that Al converses with himself, out loud, when he is constructing things. I am now on the twilight side of 95 and learned in the past that talking to yourself while doing a job produced better results,
It also explains what He is doing
And saying a dimension out helps you remember it and avoids transposing numbers
I always thought he was talking to us.
I thought he was talking to us too.
Me too:) Or was it his wife he was talking to?
Congratulations on reaching such an enlightened stage of life, my approach is more the shouting at inanimate objects to relieve the frustration that they are not doing what I want, it never works, perhaps I should try the calm talking to myself.
It was nice to see a Rep from the company you bought the barn from come down and go through the barn with you. This company gets a thumbs up in my books. This is the type of company I would us and refer friends to.
The Jamaica Cottage Company seems to be fair with their prices. The quality of the material seems to be above the norm the prints seem to be easily read. And the assembly of the kit precise from what I have seen. Plus free delivery and at time discounts available this company speaks for itself through the aforementioned perks.
@@all9805 Agreed totally!
I love the sound of rain on a tin roof!
Your tomatoes are doing great!
God bless you.
I love the sound of the rain on the metal roof.
Good morning Al. We plan a trip over to VT to check out this manufacturer. In 1980 my 1st husband and I built a 20x30 stick built b&b workshop with a 4' knee wall. We poured the Alaskan slab ourselves and I cried through it. Very difficult for two inexperienced people to do. We should have sectioned it off prior to pouring. But it turned out to be acceptable for our use. We had also milled 22,000 board ft. of oak for the walls off our property a year prior. Back then it was 11 cents a board ft. We had to use 6x6 beams in the center to support the structure, VS your open post and beam. So your barn is something you will enjoy and remember building with each passing year of use :-).
Q
I loved this video. I enjoyed the visit from the manufacturer of your barn kit. They seem very accommodating and would work with you on anything that you would want. I didn't understand the door when you put the cross board on it because I thought it was going to be a traditional single thickness door. I don't particularly like the door because it's not traditional, but at least it made sense when you started adding the other material to it. But that is my personal preference. It does look nice and it is thick. It should last a very long time. Love and blessings to you and your homestead.
The door looks awesome! Garden looks like it is doing well, bet you can’t wait for those tomatoes to be ready! Enjoy the weekend!
With their home-grown bacon for BLT !!!
Really special of the Guy who had produced/supplied the barn design and plan kit came there to visit you at Lumnah Acres. Enjoyed the talk you guys had, he seemed impressed at how spot on your build is going Al. Kudos. Hello to the family.
So nice of Dom to pay a visit and you could tell he was sincerely impressed by the fact you did it yourself and it was so perfectly square and plumb. Also nice of him to give the discount, I am sure you have a lot of viewers that would be interested in the buildings he has to offer. I'm glad your getting your wood shed from them. Have a Blessed day. BTW Gina, yur garden is doing great...mmmm toasted tomato sandwiches on the table soon.
It so great of Dom, the owner of Jamaica Cottages to visit. I could tell he like many was extremely impressed with your building the barn. Have a peaceful weekend for you and your family and God bless you all.
I can't wait to see the goats' reaction when they see their new home. Little Man will have more room to rule the roost and jump stiff-legged for joy as he shows off his moves! So glad that Al didn't see us trying to assemble our Ikea wardrobe. Ha! The level of professionalism and calm confidence as he quickly measures and cuts makes me shiver- I'd be checking, double checking and then having conniptions that I'd made a mistake. Kudos to Al!
I'm still trying to figure out what new animals will be using the old Goat place. Rabbits???
I wouldn't be able to make any of this stuff. Al is so quick and sure of his carpenter skills to make this barn. But where are all farm animals? I want to see the animals. ANIMALS ANIMALS ANIMALS!!! Thanks for sharing your experience of building the barn.🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😛😛😛😀😀😀😀😀😀😁😁😁😁😁😁🌺🌿♥💐💛❤❤💀💚💛❤💀💀😆🏵💙💛🌿🌺♥💐❤❤😆🍀🍀🌹🌹😭💜🤗🍀🏵🏵♥💛💛💚💚❤💚🌸😁💙💀😆🏵🍀🍀🤗😍😍🍀💜💜💜💜🤗
After the babies were born, he said that Litle Man would not be getting a regular name because he was going to be sold.
@@recoveringsoul755 Hmm, if they breed more goats, maybe nursing mothers and babies? Or ,what about the chicks chicks in the winter for warmth and safe from predators at all times?
@@madampolo I'm guessing Little Man quickly disabused him of that terrible notion. '0) Let's be honest, Little Man has such remarkable good looks and a lovely temperament, he's a must -see. Always treat your talent with consideration!
33:24 Rain on a barn roof. When I was a kid, the barn roof was slate. You don't hear much when it hits slate unless you get hail.
I was surprised how enjoyable this was to listen to being I don’t know anything about building. 😀 A good collaboration of two very knowledgeable guys who respect each other’s knowledge.
This kit is fabulous. It is incredible just how fast one person can put this up in his spare time. Truly, unbelievable!
love the sound of rain - everything is looking great, including the plants
Good on Dom to come out and visit with you,I'm sure you've done them a huge publicity favor with the barn building videos. See ya Monday
You are a blessing to us, Al. Sharing your daily life and the build. We like it. Have a great weekend.
Greetings from Cape Town, South Africa. I watched you build that barn from the start and I am so impressed with the barn kit you bought. I must say that you are extremely skilled and your experience in building has paid off. I am also very impressed with all your Dewald tools. Only the best.
Very cool that they are keeping in touch with you. It says alot about them ..... " I like it "
It was so cool of Dom to visit. Looks like you had fun building the wooden doors. Thought you would.
That door does look cool like that, and if you ever want a good strong lightweight door you use just one layer of lumber with the cross braces.
We got a California Room from Jamaica Cottage Company and it is well made and beautiful! Thanks Al for recommending this company! We had a very positive experience.
Al, your doing an awesome job... I have a suggestion... build a table for your table saw... believe me when your older your knees will be thankful... cutting wood on the saw that is on a table will be more ergonomic for your body
Mother nature saw your piggies enjoying a roll in the mud, so she blessed them!
Great visit from Dom, he is a very smart guy! I thought he was going to give you a wood shed. But a discount is awesome too.
Your garden is going to be plentiful very soon Gina.
Looking good it fits the Farm. Olde but goodie.
You must be so proud to have Dom come out and praise your work on his product. You are truly a talented man!!
Very good! Enjoyed the visit and seeing the door. And Olivia, and Gina.
Great video. Felt like I was watching a version of this old house, but only for a barn. It’s an amazing job you have done.
A fan for moving the air in that barn would be important, with the fan’s ability to reverse and push heat down in the winter.
I was hoping that Dom would give you a wood shed at a much bigger discount!! This is all free advertising for Cottage farms.
Way to show your incredible carpentry skills Al, once again!!!
They should give you the wood shed for free. You have been an excellent advertising for them.
Great day for a visit from Dom. I'm thrilled with the woodshed idea. I want to do one also. Can't wait!!
I was really impressed how accurately everything went together. Very nice.
Instead of moving the firewood to “rotate” for dry fuel, we designed our shed so we can access it from either of 2 sides; then we just rotate our behavior each winter for which side we use to grab the wood. We store the newest wood in last winter’s side so it has the whole next year to dry out.
Terrific video and build, once more. A bit of sheet metal on the door bottoms and/or insides protects too, and looks great. Love how the plants are coming along too, and your animals/pets...fun!
3am Califorina time and im up and watching you put your barn together. May you and your family be blessed and warm in your barn this winter. Your Goated will love you for it . waiting for more.
Same only 5am. Need to get to sleep
Barns great, love the doors you have somewhere to build things under cover. Lovely to see the animals are doing well. I love the goats. It's sat afternoon here 15.48 in uk
Just a little hack when glueing 2 flat boards together if you wipe both with a damp cloth and then glue them together it helps the glue spred better and it bonds better 2.
I'm not sure that is a good idea, that is titebond, not a poly glue.
I agree with Harold, it depends on the type of glue.
Thanks guys i didnt notice i thought it was just wood glue..
You could keep a giraffe in the middle section. LOL Nice walkthrough with the manufacturer.
Brother, ya gotta take advantage of the rain lol. Get an IBC tote or 2 and gutter system in place and catch all that water lol.
The water coming off New Yolk City and the Pig Mobile goes into a 55-gallon drum on each, and that is used to water the pigs and chickens. I don't know what else they need the water for, except maybe the garden. I guess you can always use extra free water on the homestead.
Yep, for the garden, extra water in case they havent had rain in quite some time and the barrels run out, etc.. It never hurts to have extra water on hand for whatever reason. And it also saves from having to use the main water supply from the house as seen in a few videos in the past.
@@Magny80 especially if he is going to be putting goats on the one side, he could definitely rig up some system to water them easier
I asked a while back if he had plans to collect it or to maybe pipe it over to the pond he talked about building nearby, no answer of course.
I was going to say that free water for the goats and the garden .. mind you they get more rain than we do in Halifax in the South Pennines in The UK
The door looks really beefy for a service door into the goat area. You are so close to wrapping this project up, Great job AL!
you need to make your next doors Dutch Doors so you can have additiional light and ventilation when needed but keep the animals in. I'm impressed with your skills and can-do attitude. Cheers
Cool, been looking at the 10x20 Heritage PCK for a while now. I think it would make a great "pub" shed in our back yard. Nice to see this come together.
Your garden is looking great Gina!!!
This was a great video. I smiled all during it. I am glad you are getting kit for the wood shed next is a carport 😍
So very nice of Dom to give the Lumnah 2019 code for your viewers. Mr. Al, is your generator of large enough capacity that you could put an oscillating fan in the barn while you work? Have you perhaps considered an automatic greenhouse louver in the back of your shop area that is temperature controlled for air circulation. I'm certain you could even make a cool cover for winter.
Gooooood Mawnin' Al! You've been busy lately and so have I! Your barn looks fantastic and the compliment from the designer says it all. Looking forward to this winter to see how you manage all the animals with the new barn.
Awesome video Al. To bad I can't order a barn for my homestead. Going to work hard instead to mill all the lumber on the chainsaw mill. Have an amazing weekend, Andreas from Off Grid Sweden 🇸🇪
Goooooood Afternoon Al ,
How nice to see the company do a follow up to see how your barn kit is going for you.
I once bought a sun room kit from a local company. As soon as I paid for it , I never heard from them again. I'm not surprised that they now seem to be out of business.
Ha ha , Dom is a leaner.
The two side extensions are what make your barn work .
Wow , double thickness doors !
I'll be watching to see how you do the insulation of the barn. That single thickness of wood is simply not going to retain much heat for you . I'm surprised that you have and use the table saw on the floor. I have a portable , folding , work bench that I have have had for 30 plus years. It's very handy when you need a temporary work bench in the house , back porch , driveway or even out in the yard.
Al, Yes. Super strong door. Marching on. Regards Stephen.
Nice work again, so glad to see Gina becoming more comfortable on camera, too.
Great barn Al! Maybe make CWC her own little house. Lol like an old dog house. Love the door!
lory peterson You are so right! CWC should have her own little castle 🏰😂
Definitely agree tho don't know the likelihood of her staying in it lol it'd be so cute tho maybe even give her a safe place to rest during her travels between the pigs and new yolk city
She seems more like a free spirit, but with a predator on the loose....
You make everything look so easy. Even the overhead door. Maybe u can give online lessons. One can tell you have worked with wood most of your life. Love the sound of rain on the roof.
We went with the sawmill to make our own lumber. We are cutting down the trees anyway to clear, we use the softwood for lumber and the hardwood for firewood. We want a number of outbuildings, so in the long run we it will be cheaper then buying the lumber, and we get much better quality lumber then what you get from the box stores. In a few years we can sell the mill and recoup quite a bit of the money back.
Its really coming together beautiful, Al ! Congratulations on the great build. ( So far so good)🤠
I think I like the uniqueness of your door. Gina I started following yall’s channel last year so I’m not sure if you’ve shared your background but I’m really loving learning about gardening from you. My mother was a factory worker and single parent most of my growing up. One year we talked about wanting a garden and I did get one started but it didn’t last beyond 30 days. I had no idea all that went into gardening! I was 16 and working full time. Sure wish I would have known about gardening years ago.
I build an apartment on the back end of an 1863 house and had it insulated with spray foam. Instantly tightened up the whole structure and eliminated any drafts. It lack soundproofing capabilities; I can hear people talking outside and when the rain hits my metal roof, things get pretty loud.
All the stuff you build is unbelievable . The looks just great. I thought that your vistiter was great. I hope they get a lot bisness from your build. They deserve it. Thanks for sharing.
It’s awesome to hear your vision of what the barn is gonna be like when it’s all done.
That door looks great! I'm waiting to see the new critters! Blessings to all.
In a traditional door/gate build, the angle board should be butted up against the top and bottom horizontal boards (not "running over" the sides of the door) with the lower end at the side of the hinges so as to provide a physical compression "triangle" that will resist vertical skewing of the door under its own weight. In the build shown, the "skew resist" is not so physically robust. That is a design fault.
The barn kit was definitely a great buy Al and Gina. I love it and I love how you were able to build most of it yourself. I love that Gina could help out as well. A great project for couple for sure. I almost wish I lived in your neck of the woods to have a barn like this. I just love it and it is very beautiful indeed. I love that Dom came out and saw the barn build, how cool that he is watching your video's as well. Again, if I lived in your neck of the woods, I'd love to have one of these barns. I am totally in love with it. Love how the door is turning out, can't wait to see it flipped.
I'm getting more excited with each video and it isn't even my barn🤣 You have taken such great care and attention to detail every step of the way. Watching is like being addicted to a soap opera and I hate when each episode ends that I have to wait for the next one. I'm dying to see that door hung. While the structure is magnificent it's all the little details you add in that will make it absolutely perfect for your homestead. A plastic door just wouldn't fit into your aesthetic. I swear Olivia has grown a foot this summer. What a generous offer code you have enabled your viewers to have. It's nice to see companies taking a active role in rewarding the hard work of creators like yourself. You have definitely given them a marketing tool that will stand the test of time for an obviously high quality product. I hope you have a restful weekend.
I am not certain why the goats needed a new home, but realize it's getting a bit crowded for them and to milk. I wonder how you plan to make their outdoor area. It will be less muddy, for sure. I am addicted to these videos!
new critters coming to the homestead, they will occupy the current goat home
I think the old goat barn will be the knew man cave for a buck.
Yea, I'm not imagining how Al is wanting to do the goat stalls....it seems a bit small to me, but maybe it's bigger than what they have now......I'll just wait & see..........
i have a good 2X4 door build that works great to that looks like it will stay straight for a long time.
That was so cool the manufacturer came to see how it’s going.
Good mornin New Yolk City .... you gonna move those pigs into the part of the pasture that has the natural wallows/springs/seeps? Lovin the barn door build AL .... gonna look real cool finished! Sounds like you will be getting a top notch wood "shed" ..... good deal .... and it's real nice that the manufacturer has extended the 10% discount and free shipping to everyone 8^) All your critters are looking healthy and happy .... did you move all the rest of the spools into the area the goats are playing .... Little Man looked like he was enjoying the one spool recently. Have a nice weekend AL, Gina & Olivia.
The barn is beautiful. I love this long form commercial, I want one too! But there are no flat land areas on my property and we are getting up in age. So we are living vicariously through you. Thank you for your videos! 🇺🇸✝️❤️
If you keep talking to CWC, she might just come visiting you in the new barn. I bet she’d leave you presents too. LOL
Great videos Al. I hope to build my Vermont Cottage in Lancaster soon. Maybe we will see you at the Lancaster Fair.
They're beautiful, aren't they? That's what I'm thinking about.
Lol! He couldn't have picked a better salesman than you Al & watching your channel made me want to do this if I could. You can tell quality when you see it & this company is really good. You can tell they put a lot of effort into their product. I wish they had a branch here.
Really enjoyed your visit with Don. It was very insightful. I learned a lot about asking myself the important questions for the future and what size I really need.
The more I see of that Barn Kit Company, the more I get to like them !
Pigs will happy there is more mud!
Yay for another shed build!!!
We must be starting that pretty quickly in order to get it done for this year. Or are you making us wait lol...
☮
This barn is beautiful and functional! Hard to believe that you did all this with just help from your wife and daughter! Well done Al...well done! Maybe you will be a home construction engineer in the near future?
I want to thank you Al..
Because of you and your channel..
All of us followers got a great present today
A 10% Discount and Free Shipping until the end of the year when we buy our kits or.?
How great is that...
👍👍👍👍👍👍
You should get that cool fan belt ceiling fan for the workshop from the store you took us to.
That would be nice in the workshop
I like how you explain your choice of wood pieces.
This is a delight to watch a workman comfortable with his skill base. My father would have SO enjoyed watching you! (Maybe he 'is)!' : )
All your decisions are good, and you have to live with them, so well thought out. Congratulations.
Looking good Al. I sure do feel sorry if someone 100 years from now decides they want to take that barn down!! You have gone through some screws.😂
Yes he has and not once did he screw it up ! LOL
I'm sure it's on your list already, but a rain water collecting system for the barn would be sweet!
They should throw in the firewood storage kit for free for doing these videos and and I assume that one in the future! I thought the mobile pig mover was fun to watch but this barn build has been incredible. Keep up the good work Al. And your video editing is really great. It's like I'm right there with you.
Most channels have an outro that eventually just becomes a habit to recite, and loses all the original meaning. But in your outro when you say that your viewers are a blessing, you can tell that you are sincere every single time.
That was an interesting video this morning, the company man was really impressed just like we are !
l imagine that he's seen quite a few that were slapped together [with subsequent complaints].. Al's squared, flush, measurment-checked barn-build [all videoed for all the world to see] has got to warn his heart !
That is a snazzy door!
Careful, Al... Now Gina will have a wood shed to take you out to if need be😁
I can’t wait to see the first snow in the barn.
That's a hefty door!
Al, great work and the future plans are solid. You should also consider water harvesting from the barn, it will help with the animals, maybe using a couple of totes. The woodshed sounds like a good plan and time to get it up before the snow comes.
Cool door! Wow the goats are getting big! The fire wood shed sounds awesome, anxious to see what you guys come up with. Gonna take a look at their website, we could use one as well. The sound of ten cords has a nice ring to it! Sure was nice of Dom to offer that awesome discount! Hey Lil Man, you're not so little anymore.
Excellent!!! 🐴 Now.... I think you should get a pony for your daughter! 😁
Al, I noticed on the roof that you have some lifted, where the green roof and the flashing meet. I worry about that. I love your barn. If I owned property I would get a barn. Ty for showing us how to do this.
Spray foam can be a risk. When you let that do, be sure that company has trained staff and are certify to do this work. Make a contract with a security inside that when its go wrong they have to pay all costs to replace it. Also contact your own insurance if its covered. That company can go broke and then you can build a new barn from your own money. I know its sounding all very pessimistic but there were very bad cases. Better check it first or take no risk and isolated your self. (what I should do) Its more work, I know, but no danger and no chemical disaster afterwards. Take care, Regards, Tony.
Will Al be doing it himself? I'd like to know what insulation the will use for the ceiling.
Yes, saw some horror stories about that foam on youtube. Just knowing that and taking some precautions should be enough. I would think the foam would be best to keep the critters out.
Antonius ... good heads-up. A couple in WA had problems with out-gassing from the foam used in their house. Not sure if type that Al is thinking of, but worth thinking about [Blue Creek Dairy Farm ua-cam.com/video/Ezwmnb7Sz4E/v-deo.html ]
Yes I agree, quite toxic and highly flammable. Reaches flash point in under a minute. Not what I’d choose. How about wool? Sheep’s wool is a cosy insulator.
Sissy Dewoody and the goats will be breathing the fumes.
Well, that was great! A total endorsement from your VIP visitor! ...You know, it looks like Olivia grew 2 inches while she was away! 😃
Al, I noticed in your garden that you all grew some Cherokee Purple tomatoes. I recently purchased 1 at our local farmers market and loved it. I don't think mind was ripe. What is your family's opinion about the taste?
Me and my family really enjoyed watching your videos appreciate what you do
That door is built to last past life time of your second generation!
Did you ever figure out the mystery with the chickens? Hope you haven't lost anymore. I just rewatched the vlog from when hope was born and can't believe how much she's grown.
I'm so jelly of y'all lucky duckies that get to use the discount code we are still about 2 years away from our homestead
You need to get a walkie talkie set up between house and barn!! LOL
Nice door Al. It'll be interesting to see how heavy it is. You're probably going to need some heavy duty hinges.
