I have done many remodeling jobs. Learned from my father, who was a lifetime carpenter. He taught me to make my work look like it was built the original. No flat roofs, wood framed windows, etc. Plywood gussets on the trusses.....really necessary in Montanna. For the door, definitely overlay old door panels on new door panel. Searching old barn will turn up treasures that will blend old into new so cabin is comfy in the future. Ths young lady has done a remarkable amount of work. As my dad used to say, "You dont know what you can do until you try. Now I'm 80 and a career of ceramin tile, general contractor and cabinet maker......well, Dad was a great teacher1 great teacher. I started your channel as the "stone mason" was drystacking the foundation, and I was happy that I started watching. The children seemed a wee bit tired and bored. Mine went to work with me many times as did my nephew. Regardless of how they felt, they didn't realize that they were learning craft trades and work ethics. When my son bought his first home in SoCal, he called me (I now live in Oregon) for advice on plumbing. I drew him a plan, and him and his wife completely replumbed the house by themselves. Now I'm eagerly waiting for your next video. Ranch work must go on, so I 'll be waiting plenty of time. ❤
Cheers, Gerry, I love your comment. For a man who has done real construction work in the real world, it means a great deal to see you enjoy my amateur stonework & our stumbling/learning of historic building crafts. You sound like a gem-Hope you stick with us. We rented a “truss boom” this week-eager to try it out. Stay posted. -Jessie
Hi Montana, Old Homestead Rescuers👍🏻🇺🇸, wow the walls secured & safely standing on the base flore🛠,you guys are doing a great work with love & respect for the old craftwork metodes or building enigering👏.All that in between hard farmer labor aswell respect guys I`m happy coming acros over your channel & following your escapades in Montana.you are living in a great State & Country🇺🇸.Thanks for sharing your work.Greetings Hubertus.🙏🏻🇳🇱🇳🇴☮🍀🇺🇸
It would be perfect as an interior door-only problem is that the house is so small it has NO interior rooms 😂 I think I can make it work as the front door… with a lot of work.
I went back to see the old roof. I noticed it had no ridge beam. Meaning the old wood on top was structural. As it decade the roof sagged. To make it last add a central beam underneath to pick up the load. You can add a upside down arrow web into the joist to transfer the weight better. If you deck the top and bottom of the ceiling part it will give more strength to the roof and overall structure. Good luck.
Very smart! You clearly know your stuff; impressed you went back to review the old footage. Yes, there seems to have been no ridge beam and an insufficient number of trusses originally. We want to keep the basic style that the original pioneer chose (but definitely make it safer & stronger). We are building extra trusses. With beefier mounts. Almost done with building those. Hoping to fly them into place tomorrow 🙌🏻

I sincerely enjoying watchin y'all rebuild this. Most ranchers/farmers would have tore the entire thing down and created more crop land.
100% true. The ONLY reason it has survived is because it’s under a string of power lines. Otherwise, it would have been burnt decades ago.
10:00 Could it be an interior door? A bathroom door, maybe? So many nice shots in this!

To save to door laminate it with thin layer turned 90 degrees then finish the inside back 90 degrees it will add strength while saving the old.
Brilliant-I’m going to plan on doing that
Where's that proofreader?
Reuse the door, i am sure you figure out a way to fix it so it will work again.
