    Good Morning Lumnah Family, I like the wood and metal building combination.
    Just an observation. the angle you cut on the trim (time stamp 20:50) against the building should be angled the other way, top board being the long point to the outside, so water "shouldn't" run into your buildings. One other thing I do when putting up overhead boards by myself is to pre-screw/set up where the anchor points will be along whatever piece I'm working So less time I'm fumbling overhead.

    Good morning Lumnah family! Hey Al, loving the barn. I noticed in this video, that the 4’ level had fallen over several times. At least 3 good impacts on the ground. Based on my own experience, I’ve learned that this can throw a level out of plum. You may want to check the plum of that level, before trusting it on an important project.

    For your winter work and power tools, build an insulated work box with a heater mounted on the back wall just to keep the tools warm so you do not have to move them when you have to go to the shop! Can also add a battery charger to keep them available and a power strip mounted on the side for quick power needs,!

    It is probably the most expensive to. I’ve used the same run of the mill caulk line for over 40 years. I have some USA craftsman tools but I learned years ago a decent set of cheap tool works just as good and most have life time warranty.

    Really enjoy all of your videos. Curious to know if after you hammer in those anchors if you come back and tighten them. I used to use them a lot for anchoring things into the factory floor and in order for them to have any tensile strength they had to be tightened. If you're only concerned about sheer strength then it's ok to just pound them in.
