The Old Bank Barn - Time to Fix it up
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 лип 2024
- This is the old Bank barn that is on our property. This is one building we saved, knowing we wanted to fix it back up. The barn is built into the side of the hill, and has a lower level. The lower level and rear of the barn has old animal stalls inside. The upper level is where tractors can be parked, and has a Hay loft storage area.
a massive clean up but what a wonderful ole barn
Hi..... Country View Acres, thank you for sharing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🎥👍👍👍
You’re my type of person. I know you will do a great job as time allows. Enjoy your videos
What a great space, elbow grease and time, I love reno videos! You have a wonderful farm. TY
That is going to be an awesome vintage barn when you get finished.
Beautiful old barn!! Your house turned out wonderful. You're gonna make this old barn live again! Can't wait to see it done....good luck!!
Awesome guys. You guys sure have a dream property. Congrats. Love seeing the videos. Keep em up!
What a wonderful idea. I can see it in my mind's eye. Just realizing your pets are in animal paradise. Even the ducks, a new house, their own pond , who can ask for more. Continue sharing your videos.
Will be interesting to see the transformation from this mess to a working area for f,arm animals. I love seeing renovations of this type. Good luck, have fun
Going to be a great project can’t wait to see it going good luck and have a good day
Love the ideas on the barn, can't wait to see its progress.
Big job.
Love to see the video when it’s all cleaned up.
Yea, I would love to see it finished too. :) It sure won't be quick project. But I think the barn still has some life left in it. Hopefully it will be ready to use in the spring.
That's not junk....it's stuff! :D
You're doing a great job! Thanks for sharing...
This is going to be a great project to watch! You and your wife have certainly proven, over and over again, you know where you're going and what you're doing on your homestead and it's certainly your project and place. Having said that, I would suggest the first phase should be clean-up inside and out, all levels. Then closely examine the barn infrastructure to see if there are any immediate needs. Next would be bringing power to the barn. Once you start working in and around the barn for repairs and remodeling the stall areas you are going to want power for tools and lights. The barnyard fencing would come later and add the water line at the same time. Good luck and can't wait! BTW, I practically binge-watched your homestead and cabin build when I ran across your channel. Great work!
Yes that was designed really well sounds like somebody really thought that out I’ll look forward to seeing your next video for sure keep up the great work look forward to hearing from you God bless Ken.
The wood on the barn maybe you need to spray it with linseed oil then use an oil base paint to paint it....and gradually add pulling to the out side to attach the future metal siding.....
Enjoy watching your video
That old barn has lots of potential, but will take lots of work.😃
Great barn!!!!! Lots of potential!!! I would keep some of the hog pens for the future too!!
It was probably painted with lime / white wash. To keep mites and other insects out
I would LOVE a bunch of the old feed bags for barn decore
Love your videos guys great content
Yes, that barn has character.
The white paint was probably " White Wash " an mixture of lime and salt good rot resistant mixture .
I'd put one of those farrowing pens up on legs for a hay feeder.. i noticed on the clean-up video that they had bottoms . That would make a great hay rack
That's funny, when my parents stopped by, my mom thought they were hay feeders. We may try to do that.
Wish this property had a barn when I moved here. Got to possibly make plans to build one.
bonjour , make sure to do video of the fix , just love that barn . merci
I would put in the fence and buy goats, they will take care of the vegetation while you do other work.
Nice video but you have a lot of work ahead of you good luck can't wait to see the videos before and after
Are you trying to move your chickens and rabbits in there by this winter? I wouldn't necessarily throw those old pens away, just move them out of the way for now; you never know when you may find some use for them, like a set of perches for the chickens. Goats would help with the clean-up, try to avoid the males they can get a bit aggressive.
I probably won't move the rabbits and chickens till next year. I just need to get it ready to house goats and get all the fencing installed.
nice barn.
Looks like you have a pretty interesting channel I am new here UA-cam is recommending your channel so that’s pretty cool.
OK I am a new subscriber new supporter look forward to getting to know you and your channel keep up the great work I have a how to channel was just a mixture of different things look forward to hearing from you keep up the great work God bless Ken.
My choice would be oil of some kind to protect the timbers, rather than paint. It won't flake off, needs much less preparation, is easier to maintain and touch up, and would look great.
Looking forward to another great undertaking. What happens to the ducks over the winter?
Right now they stay on the pond at night so predators can't get to them. When the pond freezes, we will probably move them into a fenced in area to protect them.
Looking forward to the barn reno. That barn yard you spoke of - is that where you will free-range your chicken, or will there be a separate area for them? Also, there is some junk up in there, but a lot of it just has to get organized, which you can commence as you move it out to get the barn fixed up. It's unreal that the farmer who owned the property before didn't dispose of those old horse feed bags. Might he have had a use for them? Reckon what that was, if so? LOL
The chickens will be able free range the barn yard and the pasture, once it is fenced in. So there is lots of fencing around the pasture to install as well. My wife almost bought some goats the other day, so I need to get this project moving.
Good deal.
Love ur place should make a great homestead
Yes, I think it will too. But it will still take a few mores to get it set up right. It is 3 years ago from today that we bought this property. It has changed a lot in 3 years, and lots more changes to come.
Yesterday I had to clean out one of silos that last had corn in 2012, and let me tell you what was left it there was stuff that rats would not eat, after I was done and swept off the walls o filled two 55 gallon barrels full of crap to go to the dump.
Yea, when had the grain bins tore down, they left the crap from the bottom on the concrete. That stuff stunk for days. So I know what you are talking about. It's nasty stuff.
What state are you guys at? Looks beautiful
Do u have any video of taking the big tree next to the bank barn.

Buy some black barn paint and please paint (spray) the outside of your buildings... would be a huge beautification project for your property. Also, weed eat or cut the weeds around the buildings too.
I thing my step father. Had Every thing and knolage how to grow grass and be a bigger.
Get-ur done
Hi. I am new to your channel. Where are you located in the US?
Southeastern Illinois
Bring the water right into the barn.
Nice bank barn, still looks straight. Go around and check all the bottom post for rot and decay. This is usually the first problem area for a barns complete failure. repair or replace any problems. Also check for critters. I had a ground hog under my barn that comprised a main beam post. It was a pain in the ass to repair.
What state are you in
That barn will be a project. Your valuable time, cheaoer to scrap it and build new? What ever you decide, I'll enjoy rhe videos.

You should look for a tractor thats a bit bigger then the one you have now like well a Belarus 820 its reliable cheap and perfect for anything you do if you have a medium or small size farm!
Hello Evan & Rebecca
Hi Evan
If you have the Money or the ability It would be great if you could finish the Barn with all Metal Sides & Roof like the one they do on R&R Post Beam Builders out of northern IL. Then you would have a beautiful home & farm with Old & New. Check out Kyles work & see if you might be able to really fix it & make it beautiful.
You are going to want to keep those farrowing pens!
it great to see how far u guys have come in creating a beautiful living homestead luv ur ideas me an my wife's @discofish78 working to get land an build ty u for sharing ur lives ups sn down shows there hope ty again an gods blessings
Where your gonna put your rabbits that is an old little feed bin they work great since there gravity fed. But if I were you I would leave it to keep feed in since you will not have to worry about mice getting the feed as there made from goon thick wood.
preston kerr really needs to be metal lined to keep critters out.

What about the roof? Do you plan on painting it?
We will probably paint it. Down the road it might get a new roof. But I think paint is a good option for now.
