- In the first part we designed it, cut the trees and lumber, and started building. In this one we finish it up. Results? Awesome! I'm really happy with it. Can't wait to put it to work!

This was a pretty big project. Took 6 months off and on from start to finish including cutting the trees and milling the lumber. Total cost was just over $3000, most of it being the roof. Of course, the lumber was "free" and I had a lot of the other supplies already, like nails, lag screws, steel plates, electrical boxes and wire, etc. I truly appreciate everybody's support, especially my Patrons! And people who shop my Amazon store! And people who buy me a beer on buymeacoffee.com! And people who share the video! And people who give a thumbs up! And... ;-) HAVE AN AWESOME WEEKEND EVERYBODY!
I was going to ask how much this cost if you would of had to buy the lumber?
Nice project! You're going to like having a car hoist to work on cars with! They make it so much easier!
I love it and when it's not so hot outside you can simply roll the tarps up ! Nice touch 👍💪
Shoot those stinkers. I get about 50 on my lawn every year and my dog eats the poo like it's candy...
I absolutely enjoyed this mini-series just because it's just amazing how you can build all that by yourself. I really like the idea with the tarps and pulleys.
I hope you are doing well with your covid infection and I wish you get well soon (to produce more videos ;) ) Enjoy your weekend ;)
Lol. I signed up on Patreon. It's only a $1. I pretty much take care of my whole family with my one job. My husband has a bunch of health problems. I'm not trying to give excuses. Just wanted to say so. And I learn so much. I had to do something.
A simple concrete vibrator is a sawzall. take the blade out and run it directly on the side of a 2x4.
I grew up on a farm and lived among hard working folks all my life. But you, my friend, are the hardest working man I’ve ever seen and you have the skills to get it done by yourself. Very impressive!
Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! Masterful build and use of tarp shade. BRILLIANT!👍😲
he does work hard for a minute I thought he was Mexican lol
I know. I'd love to work as this guy's apprentice just to learn a few things.
I can't agree more. Mr John probably doesn't think much about it. He hits everything he's got and gets stuff done.
Dude.... you're a one man amish village.
Respect
when a thunderstorm comes though you are under the best roof and can duck behind heavy equipment if it turns into a tornado, that's priceless entertainment if you ask me
Can't say i like US electrical code or wiring but everything else is quality work!!
Great job!
Edit: spelling
These shop addition videos were recommended and I can't believe I just sat watched them for a few hours. Apparently, I want a farm now.
You are KILLING IT with your videos, awesome job! Two ideas:
1) SNOW and HEAT - see nighthawkinlight's video on supercooling paint - but for snowloads, some heaters/IR lights shining up to a black area under the metal panels so they can help shed snow? 4 tons, plus a snow load, it seems like you 10x engineered it, but still, shedding snow / icicles automatically would be GREAT VIDEOS and cool for you! If you use nighthawkinlight's paint it'll bring in a lot of viewers.
I've said it before, but it's worth mentioning again: Your property and house is absolutely gorgeous! And thanks for converting units into metric ;)
Yes, another shout out thanks for metric conversions.....
For those without flash gear like a transit- ye old garden hose and a couple of clear plastic tubes, one at each end if ya wanna be 'upmarket' will do the same job- attach the tubes and fill it with water and tie off to the posts with a cable tie or tape- water level is the same height at each point... (you can literally use just the hose- when the water is at the 'top' of the hose at each point its the same height- but the clear tube makes multiple measurements easier)- to make spotting easier, stick some food dye or 'cordial' into it to make level spotting easier (cordial brings the ants though lol)
I agree with you the older I get the more I like watching them instead of hunting them
9000 pounds of wood Holy moly will definitely last for years to come
Man, it didn't look that big until you got on top of the roof, then its really showed its size. Great work like always.
Why's it always about how big it is with you guys?
We just want things to function well. 😁
Very nice build. I will be interested to hear how the light spacing works for you. We put new lights in a fire station, and we centered the lights on each bay, which seemed natural. But went we pulled all the trucks in, the lights were not very effective because they were right over the trucks. We moved the lights to the sides of each bay and it made a world of difference. Thanks for bringing us along.
Good to know. And I'm happy to say the lights would be very easy to move as they are just hanging on nails. I'd say I planned it that way, but that would be BS.... ;-)
@@FarmCraft101 Just something I ran into in the past. It will completely depend on how you end up using the space. Enjoy the shade.
I could totally see that happening. Seems intuitive to center them, then whoops!
That's a great tip. Never thought about that.
@@FarmCraft101 I have seen tarps done like this but in heavy winds the tarps get torn apart. The solution I saw was multiple ‘c’ shaped holes, 4 inches across facing down, every 4 feet.
It’s a good thing you are not subject to OSHA compliance. Can you imagine the horrified look on an inspector’s face after seeing your Nik Wallenda approved scaffolding and circus acrobatics? The paperwork alone would take at least a month to complete. I get dizzy just watching you. It is truly amazing the things you accomplish by yourself. I feel so inadequate after watching your channel. Thanks man.
I just love watching guys wearing shorts and sneakers and working with steel. Neverending amusement 😂😂
Flip the sheets upside down on a small strap. Winch the strap to make the sheet roll up. This gives strength and the edges are rolled away from the strap to avoid cutting. Flip the sheet once on the roof. be sure the purlin leg is "down" to support the sheet edge and help avoid rain water siphoning. Looks great. Thanks for the anchor bolts & tie straps...Looks like you know what you are doing.....Looks good. & they say you can't find good help!
Cool. I hadn't thought of rolling the sheet with a strap to give it extra strength. You could handle really long pieces that way without damaging them. Awesome tip, thanks.
@@FarmCraft101 Works a treat. I put a lot of metal up on pole barn roofs for my dad back in the late 80s doing that and using a boom cart he had built. Use 2 or more straps for the long stuff. Thanks for your videos!
Great job. Thanks for the ideas. Been planning a 40x20x16 lean too off my shop for my fifth wheel.
Thanks for the rolling idea. I recently helped strip an old barn roof salvaging the metal. The challenge was not falling, getting cut, stuck, or kinking the panels. We set up staging and a work bench to de-nail, and used a 4x8 pallet and skid steer to move the stuff around. Your idea, if used, would have made some of this project easier.

I know you are getting lots of helpful "suggestions" in these comments, so here is one more: If you flip the forks over on your lift, you can get a couple extra bit of lift without the sketchy blocks.
To raise panels we made a ramp and carefully slid them up. We were roofing an old barn in upstate NY. HELPED A FARMER WHO LET US HUNT HIS LAND.

You have so many toys. God sure has given you a lot of talent.
If it works, it's not stupid. Not having the sun beating down on you while working on things will be a great benefit to productivity. After seeing everything parked on it I can get a better sense of scale. Great work!
Man you really can't see the scope of the size until you put 6 vehicles into it. Very nicely done! :D
Yep, it’s men like you that made this country great. Just keep doing what you do, until you get too old to do it.😢
That tarp pullup mechanism is ingenius! I would've never been able to figure that out (still can't entirely)
That's how they used to do it on sailboats, quite a simple system if you look it up :)
Can we have a followup in a couple months? Will you need guttering/spouting? That area of roof could be good to feed a water-barrel. I bet you could use a tool cart on wheels to drag around to the bay you're working in.
Truly stupendous. You are certainly sure-footed when on the roof. That squirrel has nothing on you!
During the winter winds, fill the plastic pipe with water, it will keep things stable in the wind & you can drain it back out when your ready to wrap it back up..
You should always add some twine to the wires when fishing it back into the wall.. Latter on if you need another line/circuit you can use the twine to fish the next cable through. Just remember to add twine to the new line...ask me how I know... Bailing twine would work as lone as it has enough strength to pull that wire through and shouldn't add anything but convenience. =)
13:45 added benefit with the I beam is you can get a little trolley crane and hang it off the beam.
Hello I'm 64 and I enjoy your videos
Can't wait to watch tonight after we put the toddler to sleep! I've been waiting for this to drop!
I absolutely love the roll down tarps. I have done the exact same thing on a smaller scale on my lean to at my shop. I used a heavy canvas with eyelets everywhere that my neighbor gave me. It was an 18 wheeler canvas. Did I mention it was FREE. Thanks for the great content
I also have an almost identical system in place on my patio, except it is that sunshade material, it came with the house when we bought it, and its purpose was to keep out sun and bugs.
A nice take on "French blinds", nothing new under the sun!
I feel like those 12 volt tools are so underrated at what they can accomplish .
I love em. Light, small, fit easily in my tool belt or even my pocket. They aren't for every job but they are perfect for many.
I have makita and milwaukee ones, they are ok for either repetative light duty or the odd larger fastner but if you are using them all day I find the batteries need changing too often. Definitely worth owning them though.
There these people called relatives, friends, fans & neighbors . I sure people would come and lend a hand. I don’t know how you persevere & do it alone!
That's a big job for just one man. Gracious. I can't imagine how many times you went up and down a ladder.
Really nice building you got there. For the tarps on the end, we use something similar on our wood sheds, but you may be able to improve it. Extend the pipe slightly past each side of the tarp, but not wider than the post to post width of the opening, then create a channel with another 2x4 on the outside of the wooden post for the pipe to ride up and down the entire height of the post. That will keep if from flapping around, and you could lower it to any height for weather protection without having the pipe flap around. Love your vids, thanks for 'posting'
I don't know if it is how your parents bought you up or what....but your commitment to each project is fabulous. Your skill is awesome.
Your family is one lucky family having such a handy dad on the scene.
Got so many work done without a helper, great man
I was expecting a happy dance when the last panel went up om the roof. Good job young man. I enjoy your willingness to so try just about anything.
If you install horizontal ribs on your tarp curtains, aka Roman shades, it will add a great deal of stability to withstand the wind. We sandwiched ours with strapping on each side, one set at the bottom for weight like your pipe, then 2 more sets dividing it into thirds. This has worked great for a few years now.
Great work as always and I learn much watching. You are a good explainer.
Have wore out two palm nailers. Now using a "Strap Shot" for hurricane straps and joist hangers. So much faster and not overly expensive ($200 at local builder supply).
Tarps seem like a workable solution. Depends how windy it is. I like it.
That squirrel was checking out the tree he was born in. Hope you feel better!
Watch many UA-cam channels, yours is by far more amusing and the way you figure out to solving problems and keeping safe. Keep going!!
I think the Tarps are a good idea. That overhang should serve you well.
That swing press seems like a handy tool.
In a bind, you can use a Sawzall without a blade, just put a piece of wood (size to be determined by you) and put the Sawzall shoe on the wood and pull the trigger !
Good idea with the rollup tarp John. I think I would make roll to the inside so that any rainwater that gets into the roll won't come down if you want to lower it part way, but that is just me. Great video thumbs up.
Great job, I would put the pipe to the inside to avoid the accumulation of water and ice which would make raising it challenging at times.
Their is no doubt you come from a grendration that knows how to wo p
Generation
Spray foam the ends
@@CHMoore What do you mean how to wo p?
Looks like a Mansion Right next to your Shop Holy Moly beautiful Old Building from the aerial view @FarmCraft101
Wow at how bright that hyper light is
Very well done built better than any contractor would do.
Brilliant addition, I can’t believe how much of your kit goes in there! Can’t wait to see what happened to the boom lift, it would have been very useful.
Really nice work. On the screen I would consider using Polypropylene Exterior solar Shade. They block a large percentage of the sun and wind but not so much that you are hurting for light during the day or trying to rip themselves apart since they are woven and let some of the air pass through. I put one up on the hot side of my house a year ago and when it is over 100 outside under the shade it feels 20 degrees cooler then when you step out of it and let the sun hit you full blast. Aesthetically I think they are also better than a tarp as well.
this is great dozer dave
todd is so proud of you dozer dave
And the old ruck sleeps outside!!!LOL
Great video, John! As a former building inspector, I'd say you're spot on in your discussion of the codes and their application.
I want to commend you on your OSHA-approved techniques for getting the metal sheets up on the roof and, it seems like this is the first vid in awhile in which you've not brought up anything about your Johnson. I didn't know you could do that! lol
Also, I would recommend one small "tweak" to your plans to make it perfect: acquire an electric motor and gear reducer along with a remote control so you don't have to roll your walls up and down by hand anymore!
I fully expected him to put the tractor in the dump truck :)
Hopefully you have allowed for the beer fridge
Love the fact that you write the metric even tho you use imperial, so we EU watchers also understand
You sir, are impressive! I'm blown away watching you figure out how to do everything alone. Carry on with your bad ass !!
One of the first videos of yours I watched was the brass cannon.... And I thought that was a big job! Awesome build and look forward to all the videos you can make in your new outside protected area! Stay safe and get well soon!
Very impressed with your tarp execution. I thought rolling them up would;d be more trouble than it’s worth but you made it work effortlessly. Good Job. You will need more outlets for your lift and power tools but those can be added as needed. What a great work area.
the tarp idea to me remind me of army tents they do the same where wall can be rolled up in their case to you can but more contect together to make a larger tent but
Idk why watching another man work so hard is entertaining,but it is.
You’re one hell of a hard worker !!
Pro Tip . When rolling I beam stand on the end and use a pipe wrench to roll it
50:50 doesn’t matter if it’s getting hit my water directly if it’s outside and humidity get to it that also effects it.
Also there’s a difference between “wet” and “damp” you might be confusing the two but there’s a distinction in the NEC for that.
Thanks for another great vid John. Something I learnt recently, doesn't matter for this build though but I saw you do this on the side addition to your workshop so thought I might share. When digging in your upright posts into the ground and then fill the hole with concrete to secure the post into the ground, this is the worst thing you can do apparently as its the same as putting a post in a bucket of water. It cant breath a get rid of the moisture and rots the post. We are supposed to pack the hole around the post with pea gravel. I've always just poured concrete in and never thought about it as that's how I was taught but when you think about it, it makes sense how terrible an idea it is. Not really going to matter a hell of a lot for what's already done but I doing the pea gravel think for and future builds.
When I used to put up pergolas we used to embed stirrups for the end of the post to sit on approx 3 to 4 inches from the ground, it stops post end rotting
You can either make them or places like Bunnings or hardware stores sell them.
Tony from Western Australia 🇦🇺
Screw through the ridge, not the valley, is what I was taught. Love your work and videos man. Keep it up.
49:25 you can tape the switch’s so the screws are covered. Also for the ground wires they make special wire nut for them so you don’t need the copper crimp
the roll down tarps are pretty genius imo
Tarps are a great idea. Temporary blockage from the snow, rain and wind.
As a kid, we had a large open two sided porch that my parents wanted to use 3 seasons, and they had 2 heavy canvas blanks made with a capital Q for our last name, and those things worked amazing. I suspect it will work great for your application.
Shorts, white calf-length socks, black shoes, a camo hat, and phone belt clip...it's like an adult Bobby Hill.
I've done this few times. When you limit out on your fork height, build a riser box that sits on the folks about 18" tall. Stack your material on top of the box and BAM you're material is up on the roof.
Do not make wonky ramps to raise your tractor up. Do the reverse, raise the load on the forks instead. So, you load is too heavy to lift by hand? Use the forks to lift it onto 55 gal drums or saw horses. Your riser box then goes on the forks, then under the material. Now you've added 18" of additional lifting height.
I don't know what you have planned next but I'll watch it.
The smart thing to do when you're fishing wires is to add a length of cord or rope to the wires you are fishing. Then you can leave this cord in the wall and if, later on, you need to pull more wires through you can use the cord and you don't have to try and fish the wall again.
Lots of great comments from people who appreciate hard work, skills, and clever problem solving. I’m here for the content, and the comments.
The eye on a fish tape is for looping wire thru.
Should also get some fish sticks for future use.
Tie some strings like a rats nest to tie on end to make it easier to hook.
Johnson!!! Fabulous!!!
You are an inspiration for independence!!!
I love his choice of music in the videos.
These are some of your best videos. Building a special part on your lathe, smelting bronze to make a cannon, building things yourself, self installed solar. And of course restoring bargain construction/farming equipment. Great stuff.
Great idea about extending the original only larger🇬🇧🇮🇪.
Great addition to the workshops; makes all that concrete more useful.
I really try to learn as much as I can when watching your videos. Even if I have to rewind a couple times to truly understand. UA-cam is nice for that. But I have such fun watching you do anything really. But do you know what I miss? Your metal melting. You're so busy, I know that is probably not at the top of your list. But I still wanted you to know that I enjoy it!!
As a rule of thumb you should always put the hot wire on the top. That is the standard in the industry.
Fantastic job,you almost inspired me to get of my butt and do some DIY the wife keeps asking for.Then I realised if I fix the stuff she wants she will find more things that want fixing,so I decided to sit back down and watch more youtube with my headphones on ,and she can ask away I just turn up the volume to drown her out .But you where close to making me want to fix them.
Awesome job Sir. And a lift will be the best thing you ever bought. I have started seven shops and always had to move on before I got one finished. Someday I will stop being a gypsy, settle down, and build me a nice shop. Love your videos, thanks for sharing.
32:04 Holy sheet! ;) -One man band sure got to do what he needs to do!
IT LOOKS GOOD, WELL DONE.
Really nice job! I didn’t realize how heavy that oak was until you showed it.
Oak is so heavy. Green oak is even heavier. Dry oak is impossible to nail. I am so impressed that you can do this without help.
That takes me back to my teenage years running tin on a roof for drying barley tobacco. 25 feet up in the middle of NC summer. Good times.
You need a fox or a snapping turtle to keep those geese under control. We have a couple in our neighborhood and some years they don't have any goslings make it to July. This year they have one that got big enough to survive.
That roll tarp was really neat, great idea
THANKS, EXCELLENT TEACHER.... LIFE BEGINS AT 84
You have my envy and admiration, sir. Fine camerawork, music and narration.
I still don't understand how the tarp actually rolls up but I really like the idea. Very nice work on this addition. I found your channel when you casted the soda can receiver. I've enjoyed learning from you ever since! God bless.
Nice addition, and a great video! I liked how you showed the receptacle connections relating to the slots. Small slot is the ungrounded, black (hot) wire, larger slot is the grounded, white wire (neutral). Another memory jog (for those that need it) is: Silver is known as "the white metal". The white wire always goes to the silver screw.
Damnit dude, your fake shock jump scared the bejeebus out of me. Was not expecting the jumpscare.
That is the way to!!! LED's are so bright unreal!!
There are construction day laborers in Bangladesh watching your videos saying “that looks dangerous man, that guy must be crazy, someone could get hurt doing that”
Nice workmanship
