- A new loft, our barn cats relocate, and Melissa and I insulate the attic. Well, it was mainly her. This is episode 18 in my BoxBarn build series.

🐾❤️🌲 It looks amazing.
Well done! Always a joy to
watch. I enjoyed Melissa’s
“it’s like house yoga” and
her beating the insulation.
What a tough job
Congrats to you both on a
wonderful job ⭐️
Yeah she really took to those jobs and got, them, done. :) good hearing from ya
Everyone needs a stage. And a place for the string quartet. Carpets and everything! 😀
Melissa's One Kninch Punch...
The one inch punch! haha ... gotta find that quartet now :)
A wee bit embarrassed at my attempt to conflate knitting with one inch punches. 🤪The pry-bar approach to language. Subtle as a brick. 😂
Look forward to the video of your Xmas barn party: the quartet, the roasting chestnuts..
Best wishes to ye both. Mark
Love the mezzanine. Gotta be honest, I fear those three bottom risers. Oh Melissa...I ran the hopper a few times when I was a kid, for my dad who was up in the attic of whatever house we were insulating. I vowed at age 17 to never have anything to do with blowing in insulation again. One of the most solid vows I've ever made, turns out.
The hopper vow!!! A solemn oath!!! :)
I think I saw some measurements on your second-hand cardboard computer...
This mezzanine will surely become the last trendy place for cats in the neighborhood, thank you for them 😻
The cardboard computer rides again! :)
Love that box.barn Spencer!
Thanks Loren! it's coming together I think
Great use of space. Love that box barn.
Good to hear, man!
One video to rule them all 👍👍👍
hahaha ... absolutely!
The mezanine is awesome. It is a great "Hang out" space. Thanks for sharing
I'm really liking it! :)
Did you ever consider suspended beams? I did a suspended beam for a garage loft once. It was just a stabilizing setup to prevent beam sagging but also to allow the cars to pull in under it... Great looking deck you have there. Man... I love building with wood... and I love watching you build stuff.
I thought about it quite a bit but didn't find one second hand around here. A beam like that would be great ... less chance of smashing into the supports!
Yeah...I share your concerns with the posts...I always want to squeeze just as close as I can...
I'll have to see how it works out over time ...
Go Spence!
Woohoo!
Very cool add.
You are the man. Melissa is so great to help ( do the work)
Lol
You said it: she pulled it together on this one!
@@metaspencer she may have fit better in the crawl spaces.
@@rickstafford5316 no doubt about it
I’ve seen bannisters made with rebar. It’s a rustic look. I ❤ the Two-Can Sandwich barn (Toucan?).
Two cans + rebar might just be a winning combination :)
I meant to say in your last video when you did the garage door, that you should put in a loft. I see you beat me to it lol. It looks good. The cat door is a nice touch. Looking forward to seeing the progress.
Great minds think alike! Glad to hear it
Awesome build definitely came together nicely 🤙🏻
Thanks buddy. It's been a fun one
Nice, great use of space
Thanks! yeah, i'm liking it
Just use a piece of point wood and then you can use it to hang stuff on, but you have your nails and there are screws of iron hangs at home
I like the sound of that
looking good
Big thanks!
Oh my goodness. You owe Melissa whatever she wants! Made me laugh so hard, then I saw she was smacking away at the insulation and stuffing it into the grinder lol.
Here's the top question, though. Will Melissa snuggle with the kitties in the hangout space? Or, will the staircase scare Melissa away, even though the kitties can scamper up?
Love these videos, can't wait for the overview video to rule all videos!!!
Yeah I laugh out loud every time I watch her SLAPPING those bags of insulation haha ... I mean the thing is that she had a job to do and simply TACKLED it, getting it done. So far the kitties have been coming down for pets, but I'll keep you posted if I ever witness cuddling up in the loft :)
excellent use of space!
Love it man!
thanks buddy! gotta keep the kitties happy, ya know
it looks good!
Big thanks!
Nice job, looks great!
Big thanks!
Check out hog wire banisters. It’d fit the vibe, for sure.
Oooooo, cool idea. I've built a few of those and have really liked them, but somehow forgot all about them until you mentioned it. Thanks!
No worries. Whichever direction you end up going, I look forward to the video. Appreciate ya.
You two do some awesome work. Great job as always!
Thanks for that! it's definitely been a fun project :)
Great work, loved your AutoCAD
gotta keep it high tech! ;)
Very nice Spencer 👌
Thanks buddy! It's shaping up
Enjoyed the video. I have been an avid watcher and supporter of your big elaborate box barn. So, let me know when the Grand Opening/Christening party is and I'll try and make it.🎄🎅☃🎉
That sounds like a great party! Sounds like after the snows melt would work out :) Gotta find a band
@@metaspencer im gona get my passport ready....
Cool build 👍.
Big thanks! it's been a good project
At 8:14 in sounds like a Christopher Walken impersonation! Lol!
LOLz
Great video as always I know I don’t come on time every single one but I am watching love the content Merry Christmas Spencer and Melissa Hope you have a good Christmas and a happy New Year.
Thanks and great hearing from ya!
sometimes you need a little help getting your wood up!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You said it … then bang! It’s all good
like like like :)
thanks friend!
How long have you been running the mini dingos? Ive been thinking of buying one of those 2 brands for my tree service.... Thanks Meta!
It's been about 2 years and while I still don't take one out on every job, when I do need one it's a real game changer. Equipment always means more trips and maintenance and all of that, but they can be a huge time saver and even make things possible that otherwise aren't. So you know how it is: there are a lot of different ways to go in terms of equipment purchases. But for the kinds of work I do they're great machines
@@metaspencer Thank you for taking the time to reply. Last year I climbed everything. For cleanup I had a small flatbed trailer. So this year I am getting a 3500 truck and a dump. I am not yet at the point of a mini skid but am looking around for next mid season. I see boxers here in MN for 10k. I may go that route and get a bobcat at a future date.
Love your videos. Stay safe !
@@purryegbert8609 sounds like you're moving along and doing good stuff! I've seen some guys max out on debt early on with a bucket truck, chipper, etc ... I like your approach much better as you seem to be feeling things out and seeing how and when to grow. I started out with a flatbed trailer and got a lot done, but the single best equipment purchase I made was getting that dump trailer. Hang in man!
@@metaspencer Thank you sir! Slow and steady. I always look forward to the next tree vids! Peace to you!
WHAT,only 3k views in 2 days, Since I am an Expert,unlike you only being a Professional , I recommend more Mellisa in a white suit shots handind you your Sawzall,and more Cat tricks in your next video...,also beware of uninvited midnight visitors going thru the cat door beside kitty eating from the food bowl,,Its how I learned to scream like a girl😂❤
Opossums, foxes, skunks ... they'll all soon be lining up at the kitty bowls inside the barn. But that will make for a good video I guess: "Melissa rids boxbarn of intruders!" Anyway, thanks for checking out the project :)
I hope you're not done, I'm getting so many good ideas from you
not done yet, but it's getting there!
@@metaspencer love what you've done so far
