Just subscribed to your channel and catching up on your adventures. Thanks for taking time to document the process. And yes, I would love to do what you’re doing.
From freelance writing to opening a farm store, education center, and workshop space, I am taking everything I know and turning it into in-person classes. Come visit! House of Green Saratoga should be open next month.
So inspiring to see a young person doing such good work. With the farmland disappearing and being bbought up by Bill Gates and China, it's wonderful to see someone saving an important part of our culture and future. I'm 76 and hope to be able to buy farmland in the near future and create a place for veterans to work and live through farming the land. Prayers for your future success.
One of the BEST decisions I made turning my tool shed into a cabin home was going with a TANKLESS HOT WATER HEATER. It has saved a ton of space, fits in functionally, and unlike a tank water heater, I NEVER, ever ever ever EV-er, run out of hot water. I live alone, and my electric bill RARELY if ever goes over $100. Hope you consider this peice of advice. Ive been using it for 3 years so far. No issue, just contentment in the shower, lol
Awesome pole barn! I could not agree more with your feeling about the Amish. I also had the Amish build me a pole barn for me and I was absolutely amazed at how talented and kind they were. Such pure, innocent, and honest people. I thought I was a good person until I hung out with them for a few weeks. Not only do they build the best pole barns, but anyone lucky enough to be involved with the build can't help but get swept away with the Amish spirit!
Curious about your back story… 5 real estate transactions…at your young age !? How did you get started ? What is your background? Where did you get starter capital ? You are an inspiration… not only for your age group, but for all who are pursuing their dreams,& goals !!!
@@TheOutlawGunnerdoubt it, she probably had a job and saved money. The key is not having kids when you’re broke. People ALWAYS assume I got my money from inheritance but it’s incredibly easy to save large sums of money in your 20s and 30s when you don’t have children.
UA-cam pays very well if you work hard and post a lot of good content. Every time we watch, subscribe, comment and like, watch ads etc. the YT ca$h regi$ter ring$. And I think that's great!!! 😁
You’re an amazing woman and I’m extremely impressed on your courage to build and reinvent your life to reflect your fundamental principles. We need more people like you in our community.
U have great taste- the shade of green perfectly ties into the natural cedar wood tone to top it off with the entry barn doors & hardware!! Looks so good! It's gracious to see u be so appreciative for the high quality craftsmanship by the amish team im blown away with the finish work especially on how meticulously clean & organized they are!! Prayers to u and your new barn
My wife would absolutely love the green! (I like it too.) I can't wait to see the finished barn. Speaking from experience, the parking lot & walkway is going to be a nightmare to clear snow from. You'll wind up with gravel all around where you want it.
Beautiful barn! I do have to say though that I’ve never heard of air conditioning (cooling) being bad for your health. What can be bad for your health is high humidity levels. High humidity will increase the amount of time water droplets i.e. from your mouth remain in the air. These droplets contain bacteria, viruses, etc. There are many studies done on hospitals where controlling humidity levels through air cooling has decreased the spread of disease.
I’m so happy to watch these videos now! You started while back speaking about this and not knowing what you were going to create. And WOW! My mind is blown. I was just in upstate New York near Jefferson County two months ago and fell in love with that area. I’m binging all of your videos now! 😅
I live in Virginia, but my husband is from Clifton Park and we travel back home a couple of times a year these days. I’d love to stop in the next time we’re in town!
This is so inspiring! You have such a beautiful spirit...and I LOVE your positivity! It's amazing to see someone who KNOWS what they want and where they are going in life! Thank you for shining and sharing your very bright light. ❤ May God bless you and the Amish team you're working with! I'm sure they are wonderful people, too! 🥰
So exciting to see your progress and learn from you! I am very interested in all the steps you take to turn an idea into a reality - including all the challenges and how you overcome them. You are truly an inspiration!
Lavender is Beautiful plant that's easy to maintain they call it plant that grows in adversity because the soil needs little to no fuss , it does like low moisture I put sand in the soil to create that low moisture environment, it would be nice in a bed around your property , besides makes great teas😊
Awesome build the barn is beautiful I think something like that would cost $1 million to build in California Best of the luck with everything and thanks for the tour 🙏
I'm so happy I found your channel!! My goal is to create a permaculture haven hosting artists, through 6-week residencies, and community events similar to you! The missing link is funding... but learning how you were able to do it with a USDA loan has given me so much hope that I too can make it possible
Here's an idea for what you could use this structure for. Maybe have like a dance hall on Friday nights, for folks in the area trying to meet others. Kind of like in Footloose 2.
It is a beautifully hand crafted place. HOWEVER, I find such presentations very deficient when *”the big elephant in the room”* is ignored, which is $$$$$! Particularly, when the genesis of your videos relates to putting 25% down to buy your land, which you clearly acknowledged with much lower down payment and options in availability of different grants for lowering your land purchase down payment. So it would be great to know how much did it cost to put together such a beautiful barn in the least amount of time!
I have live among Amish all my life. What they still do is what the rest of us used to do. Not that many one ur Crew for i have seen them put up a house 3 times the size of urs in a a few days. That is one they would live in. My Da was a contractor and when ever he could he use native cut. I have done same for my projects on my little farm of about 2000 ac. When I need someone build it is Amish. They know what they re doing. Im way down n Pa boarder
WOW I live in Spain and we are waiting since THREE years for our permission to construct a 40m^2 barn. and they haven't even looked at it yet.. they probably never will.. that's how Spain works ^^
Girl you're amazing! First gal I find relatable being that you are nomadic in spirit. I'd love to know what you're take was on deciding on upstate NY and if time will be dualed in other places! Currently looking for land in the Tri-state myself! :)
Metal roof, thats at least 5000sf timber construction, slab, driveway, not to mention plumbing, electrical, insulation, windows and all the finish work - I’m guessing 600k if there is no contractor involved?
I am in Texas, have a huge family, my wife and I want to farm. Please give me advice. You are doing it and its a dream. I want to manage 100+ acres and get USDA certified for anything we do. I am willing to work hard and smart for it. These videos are useful but we don't live in the North and we won't be unfortunately. Keep it up!
I feel like: giving chocolates to isolated indigenous people on an island is liken to taking pictures of the amish people who consent or are even tempted. Yes the new order ones got liberal enough over generations and now allow certain things but i feel like we who are conscious enough need to kinda protect their original way of life despite their progressive trend that modernization forced them to adapt to (including the hyper capitalisticness u mentioned) to begin with. Yes in the end everyone's free to do whatever with consent but im also free to speak up about it. If the amish people keep progressing, we might eventually lose the last hope of the world down the road (not saying we Will but Might. im just thinking in terms of chances/probability/safety measure). I love your content and you're so thoughtful and incredible and beautiful and on the way to 1M sub lets go!!!
Wow so my comment was way late lol! Similar to what was thinking but you did great! Congratulations! Obviously disregard my comment on your first land purchase video.😂😂😂 hugs!
I have to say I think it’s wonderful What you’re doing I was wondering, could you give me the name of the Amish people you used? Maybe I’d be able to use them
Are you thinking about buying land?
Yes I am..do you recommend your agent?
yes maam
Just subscribed to your channel and catching up on your adventures. Thanks for taking time to document the process. And yes, I would love to do what you’re doing.
@@unixpro2 happy to have you here!
I am!
Please make a breakdown of the cost of building the barn when it’s all finished.

Cleanliness is next to godliness. This company and its employees are moral.
Love this ! And I love the positive light you shine on the Amish community. The World needs more hard working, respectful people like them !
It really does!
Finding honest people is impossible you just showed us a good strategy.
Alexandra I’m sending you lots of love and light. Most of all clarity and prosperity. Your energy is beautiful.

I love that color of green.
Amish craftsmanship! Excellent!
The Amish have a great life ethic

Wood chips draw in termites and other bugs. Decorative Stone is safest.

Aw thank you so much!
I love it Alex 😍 I've been keeping up with the barn journey since the past year!
Love the Amish!
You said why people love watching Amish content, "IT restored my faith in himinity".
IT - referring to her experience
God bless you Alexandra. Your barn looks lovely!

I cant wait to visit this masterpiece!!
So beautiful ❤ and smart, hardworking.
You’ve got me thinking🤔! I was thinking about going modular, but now I’m open to a barndominium😃!
Nice timber frame entrance
Absolutely FABULOUS!!!!!!
Nice job! Way to go!

@alexv259
I commented above that my guesstimate for just the barn was $200k. It was probably higher because Amish construction is not cheap.
@alexv259 Man I think I agree with you but it sure be nice if you could edit your post
For those thinking about doing this, remember if you aren’t doing videos about what you are doing, the small farm concept brings in much less money.
@@davidepperson2376 OMG! You are absolutely right! I just read my own writing after two months, and I sound like torturing people and myself!! 🤣🤣

May I suggest a concrete walkway around the perimeter of the barn. It will mitigate insect, rodent, water intrusion.
Green is my fav also
Amish building is beautiful, get as much b-roll of them working as you can
Absolutely beautiful
I am shopping for that exact barn . but I will need a few stalls .
Love it can't wait to see more
Hi Alexandra ,
Did your builder consider a bore hold for your heating …
Yes please do a video on the electric, I would assume that if my neighbors had electric then it should be easy peasy too.
Love the green roof! 👌💪
Godliness is cleanliness!
The Mexicans should learn how to keep a job site clean and neat.
The Amish r awesome builders & ethics too. Love that green. Is this in NY? Yikes, too cold for me. 😅
Washing you good luck 👏🏽let’s see how this barn gonna turn out to
5:40 is the bottom "step" gonna me covered with the floor? finish floor can't be that high. ... perhaps I ll see it in one of the newer videos.
Beautiful barn wow! Could this same bldg be used as a residence? Spectacular 👏🏼
WOW I live in Spain and we are waiting since THREE years for our permission to construct a 40m^2 barn. and they haven't even looked at it yet.. they probably never will.. that's how Spain works ^^
Amen! Thank you!!!
Yes. Break down you getting electric on the land.
thank you! im getting inspired!!!
Love these videos!
Girl you're amazing! First gal I find relatable being that you are nomadic in spirit. I'd love to know what you're take was on deciding on upstate NY and if time will be dualed in other places! Currently looking for land in the Tri-state myself! :)

Just got done watching your video on usda loans, in that video I thought you said you can’t put a structure on, did you get a different style loan?
A very nice barn and yes the Amish make very nice work, And no Solar panels ? But have jou ever thought about a windmill ?? Gr from the Netherlands.
We need more Amish folks. Not enough to go around.
I am in Texas, have a huge family, my wife and I want to farm. Please give me advice. You are doing it and its a dream. I want to manage 100+ acres and get USDA certified for anything we do. I am willing to work hard and smart for it. These videos are useful but we don't live in the North and we won't be unfortunately. Keep it up!

Show getting ther electric process. Thanks in advance.
When you went to England and visited the Isle of Man did you catch the James Blunt “Your Beautiful!” Music Concert?
I wonder if that would work with cool water if it does get hot…. Texas here I’m curious 😊
Did the USDA loan cover the cost of building the barn or was that a separate loan ?
Love to visit looking yours Neighborhood. .
Impressive!
Wow so my comment was way late lol! Similar to what was thinking but you did great! Congratulations! Obviously disregard my comment on your first land purchase video.😂😂😂 hugs!
Don't do woodchips next to your building. You will be inviting termites to your building !
I may need that amish contact near future! Lovely!
Wow, love this! What was the cost to build?
I have to say I think it’s wonderful What you’re doing I was wondering, could you give me the name of the Amish people you used? Maybe I’d be able to use them
How much more was Amish contracting than slacker contracting, notwithstanding holding off future problems created by slack work?
Very Nice!
You've amazing..❤❤
Did you use "Amish Built Barns" in Michigan, which is shown above, or is that an ad that UA-cam inserted?
Word to the wise, don’t confuse well tempered with no temper.
I don’t like green till you liked it😊
All Praise Goes To The Lord. AMEN 🙌
Very Nice
