Man, how great it is to be young! Great video!
Haha thanks buddy! Sometimes I don’t feel so young tho as my body aches from all the work but I know in the end it’s all gonna be worth it! I appreciate the comment!
I’d like to see a vid of the door opener set up. Nice garage!
Hey Gary, your not the only one who has said this so I’ll have to make a video when I install my 2nd garage door opener so I can show you guys how I made it work on a 10’ door! Stay tuned and hopefully I’ll be installing that other door opener in a few months. I just gotta get my insulation and wiring finished first and need to catch up on a few other things as well. Thanks for watching!
Bro! You've been busy! The shop is coming along very nicey. Looks like you have be studying and planning each move closely. I have two suggestions... one I have in my shop and love and the other is a wish. I have a dedicated curcuit 50' 12 ga retractable power cord mounted on a rafter, which is very handy. The wish is a ceiling fan. Anyways, thanks for sharing as always. Stay safe!
Hey thanks man I appericate the comment! It sure has been a TON of work, specially like you say with trying to calculate everything so closely, trying to measure to make sure my 2 post lift is gonna fit where I want it when I eventually buy one and to make sure my outlets are properly planned out and such. It’s been a project but I’m just thankful it’s almost over haha. As for the extension cord reel for the ceiling I do plan on doing this which was why I chose to make the curling outlets 12 gauge on a 20 amp breaker so even with a 50’ extension cord reel I will still be able to pull plenty of amps with out blowing the breaker. As for the ceiling fan I plan to do that as well! Prolly mid summer I’ll do that when I can’t take the heat anymore.. and it will double for the winter when I can use it to keep the hot air down low so I can stay even warmer! Thanks for watching and sticking with me!
Whoa, where's all the snow lol. The shop is looking good, you should have enough room for a while.
Snow is finally all melted! This winter has been a crazy one, get loads of snow and then in a few weeks in warms up and all melts away.. then we get another pounding just so it can all melt again 🙄 I hope your doing well Rick and I’m glad you enjoyed the shop tour!
@@BiffsEquipment Thanks, doing better now I had an emergency surgery in Boston on New Year’s Day. They had to cut me open pretty bad but getting better day by day.
Very organized.
Thanks Jeff, I hope things are going well for you buddy! Can’t wait to work on the Cummins in the new barn!
Looks awesome Mike! Good job
I use to cut my pants just like u do, I just always liked doing it and giving them a flared look
Lmao 🤣 for a second there I thought you were talking about the hole in my crotch! Made that when I slipped with a razor knife cutting insulation and almost got my Jules! As for the bottom of my jeans yah I agree that’s the only way to do it. These damn jeans these days are all so “Skinny” I can’t stand it. What ever happened to a proper boot cut?!
Stay safe brother, hope your feeling better!
The building looks great can't wait to see all the videos and projects that get done in it . Thanks for posting and God bless brother.
Thanks buddy! I’m excited too, I hope your doing good! God bless!
Shop is looking great, Man! Smart idea on the screws for your insulation. We used the capped nails and we can’t remove them without destroying the insulation board. Looks like you’ve got an awesome workspace! Congratulations!
Thanks bro! The shop came out really nice! It’s pretty much exactly what I envisioned it which took a TON of planning as you know. There’s only a few small things I woulda changed knowing what I know now. The insulation I used screws on so if I ever had to take a pannel down to do work or to replace a broken or bad sheet I could easily unscrew it and replace it. Nails do the trick too that’s what my father used years ago but like you said it just sucks to have to destroy the sheets to get them back down but you could always try pulling the nails first which may work!
You should totally show a video on how to make the garage door opener work on the 10 foot door. Our pole barn was just completed and we will be adding electricity this summer.
Sounds good Mike! Maybe when I install my second opener I can show you guys exactly how I did it step by step. It really saves you a TON of money! Stay tuned!
Shop looks great Mike......................
Thanks Gary! I hope you’ve been doing good man!
Looking good biff
Thanks buddy! Hope you have a happy Easter! Sorry I’m just seeing your comment!
It's coming along nicely. Figuring out where you want everything, and the future things you don't know you want yet is the tough part. I used conduit, so I cut them in half, and put outlets every 5 feet, and surprisingly, I have things plugged into most outlets. Putting them there now is much easier than adding them later. A cheap ceiling fan to help push the heated air down would be a good idea too. Another thing I didn't plan for was a winch on the ceiling. They come in handy, but you need to build in the extra bracing for it before you get all the insulation on the ceiling.
Thanks Ron! Yes your right it is very tough figuring out where things should go specially when you have future plans to buy other things and your trying to think ahead so you don’t have to keep changing the whole layout around.. but I assume it’s just gonna take awhile. I figure out a little more each day as I try things in certain places to see where they fit and make the most sense.. slowly but surely.
As for a Crain winch in the ceiling I do plan to do this, I’ll have to install an I-beam or something similar first tho.. but that’s way down the road. I will be adding a ceiling fan as well as the electrical extension cord on a reel on the ceiling.. those two things are gonna be great to have. I think I have outlets roughly every 6-7’. I don’t have as many places to put them in a pole barn as a stick building. But with the 4+ double outlet boxes and the 2 ceiling outlets I think I’m gonna have plenty specially with an extension cord reel on the ceiling. Thanks for watching I hope your doing good buddy!
Very nice shop, great video!👍🏻
Thanks James, I hope your doing well!
Sweet building. I just added a 18x26 addition on to my garage. It sure makes my life easier
Thanks Dan! Wow that’s a nice size addition ! It’s always nice to have more space again when things start feeling crowded. Is it finished?
@@BiffsEquipment not quite. We have to side it and then finish the inside
Yeah make the video of the garage door!
You mean on the garage door opener install? I think I will cuz a few others asked me to make a video on that as well now. I think I’ll do a video showing how to install my other door opener and what you have to modify to make it work with a 10’ door. I hope your doing well Todd!
@@BiffsEquipment the mod , hopefully you get 10,000 views. Call it ( how to save money with Biff's Garage door modifications . )

Great job with the building.
Thanks Brian, hope your doing well!
Super congratulations, Biff! 🎉
All that room to work! Holy cow!! You could have 5 projects going on at once 😅
Really happy for you Brother 👍🤝💪🏼
Hey thanks Nick I’m glad you like it! Still have alot of work to do to get it just how I want but once it’s finally done we are gonna do all kinds of projects in there! Hope your doing good man and stay safe! 👍🏻
Lookin pretty good neighbor!!!! You`ll figure out alot of different things you`ll change along the way. Happens to us all. Appreciate the videos brother! Can`t wait for the next one!☺
Hey thanks man! I really appreciate you watching and commenting on all my videos! I knew Iv been pretty absent lately but I do still catch all your comments! I need to go back through and respond to a lot of older comments when I get time.. it’s just been tough to keep up with everything as I try so hard to finally finish this pole barn off. Hope all is well with you and your wife!
Biff, sure am glad to see all of the progress you have made ! I have been tied up with other adventures and have missed a lot of your videos, I will get caught of with them here soon. I really enjoy your content. 👍
Thanks Herb! Awesome man I appericate that! I also have been uploading on random weekdays lately but plan to get back to uploading on Sunday’s again cuz it’s been throwing a lot of people off. I appreciate the support and wanting to get caught up, thanks for watching!
Nice job! It's looking great.
Thanks Tekker! I finally finished fully insulating the garage last weekend! Now I just need to finish wiring the outlets and we are DONE!
@@BiffsEquipment I wish I felt like my projects have a point where I am done. :)
@@tekker8308 haha!
That's an Awesome shop your building cause even at 70 there is nothing like going out to mine and just sitting around the hot wood stove and relaxing or do one of many little projects or working off some things on The Honey Do List which never ends. I was wondering if you have given any thought to another or bigger tractor down the road. I'm only at 110 hours on my 3 year old BX which I'm sure you do each month or more.
Haha thanks man! I agree, I have never been so happy in my life when I’m home as I am now with my shop but was never so stressed out as I was either while building it all! Just glad it’s about over and can finally enjoy it!
PS. I plan to do another quick shop update video (short video) this week during the week sometime to show you guys what Iv done since this last video as I changed the setup a bit on the other wall. Stay safe and god bless!
Looks great! Good to hear from you. I always enjoy your content.
Thanks Daniel! Glad your enjoying my content, I feel bad I havnt been able to keep you guys up to date as much as I’d like with my life and projects, I hope to be done with the barn soon and once I am we will get back to normal videos once a week at least. Stay safe!
Nice job buddy. Looking to do the same insulating job on my building but need to find a supplier. Glue some panels on those garage doors and save on the heat costs.
Thanks Dave! The insulation board is def the best thing I could come up with and the cheapest as well if you get second hand insulation like I did from market place. It’s not hard to put up either and is easy to cut for the most part. As for the garage doors.. Home Depot sells a garage door insulation kit on their website that I’m gonna get for both doors, I won’t be installing that till prolly next fall tho as money is now tight and I’m running out of time before spring. I meant to mention this in the video but the video was getting too long so I cut that part out. Hope your doing good buddy!
@@BiffsEquipment all good here. Had a knee replaced in November, the night before the first storm. Nothing worse than watching snow pile up and not being able to do a thing about it. Thankfully the neighbor and I take care of each other with our tractors and he kept me open. All good now! Stay well my friend!
@@davidmartin7660 wow I’m sorry to hear about your knee Dave but glad you have an awesome neighbor who can help you and in return you also help him! That’s what life is all about, we are all in this world together! Stay safe buddy!
It looks awesome man. I like a lot of your ideas like the furring strips for electrical and the screws with washers for the insulation
Thanks man! The furring strips were a game changer for sure, I’m really glad I decided to use them, in the end they saved me alot of money and hassle with the wiring and cleaned up the insulation nicely! Stay tuned for the next video!
Thanks for the update bud! Very thought out plan, I'm getting ready to build my shop/man cave (56x112x16) for car storage, going to be putting in several lifts, I already have numerous tools boxes and tables. I can hardly wait to get started, just waiting on everything to warm up!!
Thanks buddy! Wow man that’s gonna be one HECK of a shop your building there! I wish I woulda had the room and funds to go even bigger but some day I plan to expand off one or both of the sides to widen it more. Sounds like your doing exactly what I was doing by saving and buying things for your garage before it’s built so once it’s done you can be setup nice and move it all in! You’ll have to keep me posted on the project! It’s a lot of work but it will all be worth it when it’s done!
What a nice space, looking forward to see the progress.
Thanks buddy! I’m super stoked, shouldn’t be long now, just finishing up the insulation and wiring and we will be ready to work/make videos in there. I plan to upload a video this weekend also working out of the shop. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Nice shop tour, man! I actually enjoyed the boot Intro, too. I've been wearing the Timberland Pros and they don't hold up. Progress looks good keep up the good work.
Hey thanks Joe! Glad to hear you enjoyed the tour and my work boots intro. I really Believe in these boots otherwise I wouldn’t have advertised for them. They really do seem like such a great quality boot especially for the price! Thanks for watching and stay tuned for another video this weekend!
Getting there.
Love the Vid!
Thanks buddy! Glad you liked it and thanks for your continued support for the channel!
I answered you about you not being able to see my videos.
Things are coming along very nicely!
Thanks Jim! I appreciate you sticking around all this time!
Great job , looks nice
Very nice
Awesome shop / you are gonna spend a lot of time in there / Keep the videos coming 😃
Thanks man, We sure will! Lots of projects to complete too, the list of things is going up faster than I’ll be able to get to them haha. I plan to make my first short install video in there this weekend so stay tuned!
Awesome Shop!! Jealous!!👍🏻
Thanks buddy! Been a TON of work but I’m glad it’s finally coming to a close cuz my body hurts lol. Stay safe!
Nice shop. You needed that. I'm sure it will get used a lot.
Thanks Randy, oh it certainly will! May even make a bed out there so I can sleep out there! 😂
Shop is looking good!👍
Thanks Dan, hope your doing well buddy!
Nice work!
Thanks Phill! Hope your doing good man!
about time you showed us an update! shop looks great! you're gunna love it!
Thanks bro, I know it’s certainly been a long time coming! Glad you enjoyed the shop tour. Can’t wait to get this thing over with so I can get back to some normal videos! Havnt had much time to check my messenger but I hope all is well!
Nice job
Not telling you what to do, but every 120 VAC receptacle in that shop is required to have GFCI protection. And in my professional opinion, one really should have it. You can do it for about $25/ckt. (DIY) from the first receptacle in each ckt., or install a GFCI breaker, which would be ~$60/ea. (DIY).
Thanks buddy, I actually plan to install a GFCI breaker for each of these. I’m glad you said something to remind me. Eventually I’m gonna be running two outside outlets as well which will also be GFCI, but I get what your saying about keeping the row of outlets going down my wall protected by either a GFCI outlet on the first outlet or a GFCI breaker instead.
Awesome show man. I've always loved your videos. I recently attempted to build a makeshift shed for my BX using T-Posts, cattle panels. pvc piping and 6mm plastic. However the plastic got blown off during a big wind storm. What cost efficient suggestions would you possibly have to store my tractor and implements? I have my tractor in my shop right now (Temporary) but most the implements are sitting outside with plastic trying to cover them... Keep the vids coming man.
Hey thanks for the compliment Dave I’m glad to hear you enjoy my videos so much! I’m sad I havnt been able to put out more in the last year and have been too busy due to this pole barn project but thankfully it’s almost over now!
As for your storage situation, If funds are low I would go to harbor freight and buy yourself 1 or 2 of their storage tents.. they make one that’s a 10x15 I think and another one that’s like 16x20. Nice size storage tents where you can lag them down to a concrete pad, or if you don’t have concrete you can secure it into the ground and then use pallets with OSB plywood for the floor and make a ramp out of wood or dirt to put your tractor and attachments in it.. I did this for many years before buying my pole barn and the tent has held up great! Just be sure to buy the extended warentee that way if a wind storm ruins it you Can just pull the canvas off and have it swapped out free of charge I Believe. Mines been standing for 4 years and still is in great shape with almost no holes in it.
Let me know what you end up doing, best of luck!
@@BiffsEquipment Awesome, thanks. I will look into this.
@@BiffsEquipment So I took the original structure down and began to attempt to grade the ground where I want the new one and all I discovered is that I suck at grading lol. Any suggestions?
Thanks Biff.
Why is there a Black line through the Description ?
Mike M
To be honest I have NO clue.. it’s done that on my last 4 or so videos and I can’t figure out why UA-cam is doing that. It’s strange as hell lol
Are you putting in a 2 post lift?
Hey Ross, yah that’s another thing I forgot to mention in the video, I will be installing a 2 post rotory lift .. prolly a 12,000-15,000lb lift right between both doors.. I poured the floor thicker in the two areas where the lift posts will go so the floor won’t crack with the weight and stress and measured it out to where it should JUST fit inbetween my doors and beteeen the wall and the floor drain.. I hope… but this won’t be coming till prolly next year sometime as I need to recover from all the money I spent
how do you like the harbor freight welder I been thinking of getting one but wasn't sure how it would hold up.
The Titanium mig 140 is no joke prolly one of the best if not THE best welders for the money specially if you get it on sale.. if you want one that’s 110 and 220 then go for the mig 170 but Iv been using the mig 140 for a few years now and if you go down through my videos you’ll see a TON of fabrication work Iv done with it, Iv done some really big welding jobs and it’s never let me down. I push it well beyond the duty cycle all the time which is hard on the inverter and it doesn’t even care. I HIGHLY recommend it. I use a Miller and a Hobart at work both on 110v and the titanium mig 140 blows them both out of the water both in weld quality and weld thickness.. puts out enough heat to weld up 3/8” thick metal 👍🏻
@@BiffsEquipment thanks I do hear good reviews on them and after your answer I think I'll go with it. I'm really not a welder but wanting to get into it. Thanks again
