Building turned out great. A few good sized solar panels, an inverter and batteries and you would not need to worry about the solar generator limitations.
17:55 "there's not a dark spot in this building..." your shadow pops out challenging that statement. Perfection! Great work, great help, really looking good!
The lighting looks as great as the building!!!!!!! Have you given any thought to put netting up on the trusses to keep birds from nesting above your sawmill area? It might save some bird poo poo on you 😲 We had a 33x40 pole barn built 2 years ago, and they used netting. Have a Jesus filled day everyone Greg in Michigan
It’s going to make working late easier on the eyes, I personally would have used conduit and external water/splash rated outlets, I’m looking forwards to seeing the splitting layout
Good morning Adam….That building is phenomenal…great job on the lighting. Looking forward to watching many videos in the future. Stay safe Have a day 😊
Wow, it all looks great!! Your friend did a good job!! 👍That ladder looked scary to me!! You're a brave man, Adam!! God bless you and your family!! Thanks for another great video!! ♥️🙏♥️👍
Love the DIY where appropriate and hiring professionals when you should. The non-OSHA methods can be debated. What I am concerned with is fire safety. You keep everything cleaned up, but now that you have structures you NEED some extinguishers near by.
100% agree I worked in the industry. Keep an extinguisher at all times beside each machine. A worthwhile inexpensive investment. Checkout farmcraft101 fire on his boom lifts. He now has extinguishers everywhere !
This is a very well designed open structure built to high standards. I appreciate the method you used for the girts which increases the structures ability to withstand wind loads and also increases the buildings verticle load capacity. And the resulting structure is attractive and well suited to your intended use. Great job. Ray Stormont
i agree cement or dirt. if you get gravel in a log there goes a blade. if you have to you can recharge with your genorator.. i went and got a old lull telehandler because the rental, hauling, insurance and other fees were so high if will pay for it's self in a year.it was going to cost more than$ 3500 a month. take care, be safe and well.
Glad I watched this video series. Gave me some ideas on the renovation and bump out of my existing pole barn. I will be using the book shelf framing (commercial) as your contractors have used. I am also going a bit overboard and installing Zip-R (R6) sheathing around the entire building walls and EPS for the base slab. Then I will use Rockwool to fill in the bookshelf framing to finish it off inside. Thanks for the content and looking forward to your next video.
That was a great job Adam. You are braver than me because I would not trust myself on a ladder that high. Smart move getting the electrician for the more complex part. You are going to love your new building. Stay safe healthy and cool. Bill H from Cranberry Township
You should look into some of the more larger sized battery station. You could set it up in a corner in a little locked area (while no garage doors) and throw a few panels on the Lean to and it should keep it charged if you spec it out right. Would also allow you to consider a powered garage door for one or more of the bays.
Love the camera viewpoint when spreading the gravel, nice job! Here in Europe we often place anti root cloth under the gravel, for suppressing weeds and keeping the gravel from sinking too much
Looks nice, love the lighting and your method of powering the barn. Now a couple of solar panels to keep the batteries topped off and you'll be good to go.
Well lit building my friend.... have you considered laying down an old conveyor belt?? That's what we use to keep our splits off the ground and not deliver gravel to our customers..
I really like your new work space. I understand completely about high places. My pole barn style work is only about 16 ft at highest point and I don’t want to be on a ladder working up there. I want to put insulation in my ceiling but not from a ladder!
Love the building! So jealous of all that space under roof! Looks like it's going to be a great space. You probably could have gotten away with using the "interior" scissor lift on that material. Just would have to make sure there weren't too many big rocks where you were running it.
Building looks great! Only thing you might have to worry about is birds with having the open rafters. When I was building my shop before I had the doors on the birds were getting in and nesting in the rafters. You might want to look into a detourent for them.
Howdy Adam! The building looks nice. I was up there yesterday and cleaned out your roadside stand of $20 bundles. We used up the last of the first batch I bought on Sunday evening. Have a great week,take care and God Bless!!!❤😊 .
Someone mentioned something about old conveyor belts. I got a couple of rolls from a gravel yard. They were about 5ft wide and 60ft long. Best thing ever. They get pretty slick with snow however
A dirt wood yard is fine when it's dry or covered. Not so good when exposed to rain and snow which equals mud. The building looks great. I'd love to have something like that. Dave
Yeah. All of my expense is in putting a roof over the wood yard. Putting concrete under it would be nice but since it will be dry it will be a little unnecessary at the moment
That’s got to be a huge, huge relief to wrap that project up. You knocked it out of the park on this one. One thought, you’d mentioned that your trail & pick up was shy of fitting in your new building. I can’t remember exactly, I want to say you had planned on placing some of your wood processing machines under the lean to maybe? I thought the lean to might be a good location for your truck & trailer when connected. All that said, super job!
Get yourself remote outlet switches to enable lighting it up from the house or as you approach in dark conditions. Amazon has some that advertise 1000 feet....
Looks good. I’m speaking from experience here but put some bird netting up if you’re not going to have doors for a while. Next nesting season you’ll have more birds in there than you want. I’m east of you in Schuykill County. I’ve had birds nest in my pole building in late February early March because I failed to keep the doors closed.
Nice building Adam. I think when the snow flies a lot of it will end up blowing into the building through those big open door ways. Doors ain’t cheap but I think you’ll be getting them at some point.
Yes we will probably. Just have to wait for the budget to allow for it. The biggest thing is getting the equipment out of the sun. UV rays are really hard on hydraulic hoses, rubber and paint
Not Gonna lie when you said an electrician buddy was comin out I thought it might be Kyle form SpicerDesignsLLC.. this video helped me out a lot I’m getting ready to put in lights in my new 45’x55’ shop.
Have you thought about getting a couple of their wall mounted lights for the far end wall (outside)? You’re going to have quite the collection of the 3 B’s in those trusses • Birds (nests) • Bees (nests) • Bats
work and drive on that dirt long enough, and no water on it, and it might as well be concrete. compacted dry clay is damn hard. Building looks spectacular.
Adam, excellent video with great content. If not dirt or concrete you may consider pavers for the saw mill area. Also for recharging the battery you may be interested in installing a small solar panels system with BMS, than can be grown in time.
Technically that's crushed stone, not gravel. Great job on everything. 100% agree on the concrete or bare ground (or maybe a layer of woodchips that can be scraped out and replaced).
I hope you have a bigger battery for when you will need it. Also go ahead and install solar panels. I suggest ground mount so you can clean them off occasionally. I made a mount for ours from store bought 2x4's, but that's me. Ours were cheap, but so a m I.
I think I would fell way more comfortable being in a basket on the end of an excavator (with an experienced operator like you) than any of the other options including an indoor man lift even if you could use one of those. I also really like the lighting solution and am seriously considering that for my own garage build.
Ok. It's only money but I would most definitely pour concrete in the wood cutting area at a slight down hill angle to (a) shed water, (b) make cleanup a breeze and (c) a flat surface is easier to walk on and prevents you from rolling your ankles. Plus may I add, her ankles too.
this YT channel is entertaining, factual, humorous and just plain nice.
One of the best pole buildings I’ve ever seen! 👍. Awesome build!
Wow, thanks!
Building turned out great. A few good sized solar panels, an inverter and batteries and you would not need to worry about the solar generator limitations.
12:27 Doing free electrical work and videoing, all at the same time!!!! That is a great friend!!!!
17:55 "there's not a dark spot in this building..." your shadow pops out challenging that statement. Perfection!
Great work, great help, really looking good!
One of the nicest pole buildings I seen on UA-cam great job 👍
Thank you. Wait til you see it with cupolas.
I would suggest getting pallet racks for your attachments and place them along the back wall of the shop/storage area
Your man lift is a GREAT idea! Well done as usual, Adam.
Great job Adam- Another less expensive option is asphalt millings, then roll it and seal coat it.
Good video Adam.
Good job rationalizing the equipment. Mike would be proud.
Do we care what Mike thinks ???😅
What a nice building Adam. Very well thought out. Good call on the wiring, avoid dealing with the heights and learn something along the way.👍
A great outcome for this project. Be proud of this building.
The lighting looks as great as the building!!!!!!!
Have you given any thought to put netting up on the trusses to keep birds from nesting above your sawmill area?
It might save some bird poo poo on you 😲
We had a 33x40 pole barn built 2 years ago, and they used netting.
Have a Jesus filled day everyone
Greg in Michigan
That’s a good idea
Thank You - I always learn stuff from your channel. I will be using this brand of lights. Thank You Again!
There is a 20% discount now, welcome to our store!
It’s going to make working late easier on the eyes, I personally would have used conduit and external water/splash rated outlets, I’m looking forwards to seeing the splitting layout
Good morning Adam….That building is phenomenal…great job on the lighting. Looking forward to watching many videos in the future. Stay safe

Thanks Dianne!
Nice job Adam. The barn looks great. Next project. Stay safe.
I would have been yelling for neighbor Doug. Nice building. You have come along way and should be very proud
Love the DIY where appropriate and hiring professionals when you should. The non-OSHA methods can be debated. What I am concerned with is fire safety. You keep everything cleaned up, but now that you have structures you NEED some extinguishers near by.
That’s a good idea. I have a fire extinguisher in the shop but I need to get a couple down in this building. Thank you for the reminder

Very nice building Adam. You will really appreciate it in the winter.

Beautiful building, nice job!
Great build 👍 The building turned out great as well as the lighting
This project turned out very nice Adam 👌.. Plenty of light. Time to get setup under the roof..
That building is bangin dude! What a sweet mixture of indoor storage and lean to storage!
I do think it’s the perfect building for my needs
Can’t wait to see you layout plan. What an awesome building and the lights turned out great
Thanks!😄😄
Good looking building!! Congrats on your journey!!!! Enjoy your videos greatly!
Building looks great! Will be a great working environment and will protect your equipment from the weather.
Awesome build series! I really enjoyed these videos. Those builders did a great job and your new setup looks incredible!
Great job Adam, the building turned out great and the lighting is fantastic
Thanks! 😄😄
Love the camera viewpoint when spreading the gravel, nice job! Here in Europe we often place anti root cloth under the gravel, for suppressing weeds and keeping the gravel from sinking too much
Wow, looking great. Not sure of your long term plans but seems like it would be worth bringing real power into the building. Enjoy! Larry.
Looks great . Good thought on adding that 5th light on that switch.
Looks nice, love the lighting and your method of powering the barn. Now a couple of solar panels to keep the batteries topped off and you'll be good to go.
Lighting looks great as does the building!👍👍🇺🇸
Thanks! 😀
Well lit building my friend.... have you considered laying down an old conveyor belt?? That's what we use to keep our splits off the ground and not deliver gravel to our customers..
I agree with the concrete or dirt concept. Concrete is nice for cleanup but hard on your body standing on it all day.
Watching from Yosemite Kentucky.
Nice looking building, the lights add a lot to working area!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Thanks a lot🙏

You probably could have gotten away with using the "interior" scissor lift on that material. Just would have to make sure there weren't too many big rocks where you were running it.
Your LED lights say 100 watts but there real watt consumption is only around 15 watts or so it will say on the box , Nice building .
I am addicted with the solar bug, and this building would be pretty nice to put panels onto 😄
Great looking building Adam. Well done cheers my friend 👌🏻❤️🇨🇦
Building looks great! Only thing you might have to worry about is birds with having the open rafters. When I was building my shop before I had the doors on the birds were getting in and nesting in the rafters. You might want to look into a detourent for them.
hi there nice lights , well done ,best to all john
Thanks 👍

Howdy Adam! The building looks nice. I was up there yesterday and cleaned out your roadside stand of $20 bundles. We used up the last of the first batch I bought on Sunday evening. Have a great week,take care and God Bless!!!❤😊

I was wondering who bought 4 racks haha
Someone mentioned something about old conveyor belts. I got a couple of rolls from a gravel yard. They were about 5ft wide and 60ft long. Best thing ever. They get pretty slick with snow however
A dirt wood yard is fine when it's dry or covered. Not so good when exposed to rain and snow which equals mud. The building looks great. I'd love to have something like that. Dave

Hi Adam, you have a nice shed
That’s got to be a huge, huge relief to wrap that project up. You knocked it out of the park on this one. One thought, you’d mentioned that your trail & pick up was shy of fitting in your new building. I can’t remember exactly, I want to say you had planned on placing some of your wood processing machines under the lean to maybe? I thought the lean to might be a good location for your truck & trailer when connected. All that said, super job!
That's a lot of lighting Adam. Maybe down the road you might put solar panels on top of the roof.
Get yourself remote outlet switches to enable lighting it up from the house or as you approach in dark conditions. Amazon has some that advertise 1000 feet....
Looks good. I’m speaking from experience here but put some bird netting up if you’re not going to have doors for a while. Next nesting season you’ll have more birds in there than you want.

LOOKING GOOD!
Orrr free asphalt milling like some of us 😂 building looks great Adam, can’t wait to see it in person
lol I wish I could get an entire highways worth of asphalt millings. You lucky SOB
Nice building Adam. I think when the snow flies a lot of it will end up blowing into the building through those big open door ways. Doors ain’t cheap but I think you’ll be getting them at some point.
Yes we will probably. Just have to wait for the budget to allow for it. The biggest thing is getting the equipment out of the sun. UV rays are really hard on hydraulic hoses, rubber and paint

Congratulations, looks fantastic
Just needs concrete! Great job Adam!
Great building! Time to start pouring concrete. Section at a time
Have you thought about getting a couple of their wall mounted lights for the far end wall (outside)?
You’re going to have quite the collection of the 3 B’s in those trusses
• Birds (nests)
• Bees (nests)
• Bats
Some put the saw mill and log splitter on a concrete slab. You might want to consider that. Easy cleanup of sawdust and scrap wood.
Hope Nathan Elliott @ OTW saw this lighting video 👌
Looks great Adam!
Fantastic!
Looks great.
work and drive on that dirt long enough, and no water on it, and it might as well be concrete. compacted dry clay is damn hard.
Building looks spectacular.
Yep
I agree completely I would never put stone down in a timber yard unless it’s a boggy mess
looks great, Kyle Spicer going to be upset you didn't call him to do the wiring! That's going to work so well.
But the excavator probably would have had to lift another 2 feet higher. Not sure it would lift that high.
@@mikewatson4644 the only thing you could do is put the step ladder in the basket, hehehehe
@@Mark.Anderhalt Good point!! LOL
Adam,so you know that you have to let Mike Morgan know that he shouldn’t have put stone down where he does all his wood work 😮😊❤
Only options for under a wood yard are dirt, gravel, and cement? Gotta think outside the box. 70s shag carpet.
Haha could you imagine
Adam, excellent video with great content. If not dirt or concrete you may consider pavers for the saw mill area. Also for recharging the battery you may be interested in installing a small solar panels system with BMS, than can be grown in time.
I plan to do some things with solar
Maybe put a dimmeŕ on lights also. Save watts
Well done! Have you done a cost breakdown on this build yet? If not, please do!
Technically that's crushed stone, not gravel. Great job on everything. 100% agree on the concrete or bare ground (or maybe a layer of woodchips that can be scraped out and replaced).
It was not crushed stone. Everything is round not angular. I know the difference and this was definitely gravel
@paulweakley3440 That is gravel.
Looks amazing, great job! Share the build cost when you get it all done.
looking amazing!
Beautiful building... it's gonna be a bird haven come next spring....
Pretty darn NICE !
I hope you have a bigger battery for when you will need it. Also go ahead and install solar panels. I suggest ground mount so you can clean them off occasionally. I made a mount for ours from store bought 2x4's, but that's me. Ours were cheap, but so a m I.
I plan to do something with solar
Very nice, Adam! 😎👍
I can see your electrician is good, he knows you have ANCHOR the wire, to the structure, within 6 or 9 or ?? inches, from the elec box !!!!
I love it I really do ! But you can’t hide money 😅
I think I would fell way more comfortable being in a basket on the end of an excavator (with an experienced operator like you) than any of the other options including an indoor man lift even if you could use one of those. I also really like the lighting solution and am seriously considering that for my own garage build.
Looks awesome, enjoy it
Wood chips in the wood yard is better than mud.
Best of the cheap stuff - asphalt. But than you have to seal it.
I'd have just found a few old osb boards from somewhere and got the cheap scissor lift
You got good friends, Adam. 😀
Nice building finnish 🇧🇻👍
Great video
you need to watch the Lumna Acres solar build. That pole barns' roof will sustain enough Solar panels to run this barn
Ok. It's only money but I would most definitely pour concrete in the wood cutting area at a slight down hill angle to (a) shed water, (b) make cleanup a breeze and (c) a flat surface is easier to walk on and prevents you from rolling your ankles. Plus may I add, her ankles too.
Yeah the cost is the problem or our lack of budget after paying for the building. Quote for concrete was $23,000
