The Modest House Build Ep 4: Building Barndo Walls
Вставка

- In this episode of the Modest House Build, we start building the barndo walls! It is always my favorite part of all projects when we are able to take a pile of raw materials and build something that by the end of that day starts to look like something.
This House Plan is now available

I don't think I've ever been this excited for a build series before... Can't wait to see it complete!
Me too
I enjoy watching your videos. I used to work construction but now I have a desk job. Every time I watch one of your videos it makes me want to fire up my own llc and get to building.
To think I was rooting for you guys years ago for 200k subscribers and now we’re rooting for 2 million. Reminds me of the one million subscriber video you guys did live, that was a riot! Man, time flies. Good on you, keep it going, loving the production you’re putting out now!
Best thing about winter building is frozen ground so no mud.
Not here in Alabama everything is frozen in the morning and thawed out by lunch
That's the only good thing about it.
I’d say less sweating but you layer up so you sweat but you’re also still cold. Lol
I’m stoked for this build series!!! My wife and I are “window shopping” postgame options and I’m loving the foot print thus far!!! Would love to see the prints and even an elevation rendition.
They will be over here… rrplans.bigcartel.com/
2 man team,,,wow they are incredible,,..these two are masters
So excited for this series! Hoping to start my own post frame build in the next 5 years with everything ive been learning from you!
I second this..😊
Left and right-handed hammering and a corner column right on the mark -- very impressive.
I like the banter between you and Greg. I miss that after being retired from the trades. I had a great run of 35 years as a Journeyman electrician. Keep up the great work. I really liked the segment where you had the plumber install the hydronic heating for your last project. Other contractors you brought to the site to help finish ie Rollup doors and perform air testing were great.
Well done gents! As a lifelong timber framer, I very much admire this method of framing.
Amazing looking progress when the walls are up.
Great job, it never gets old watching.
This building has got me very excited due to the fact it’s more for a family. Very interesting.👍🏽😊
Getting a good balaclava is a game changer for winter construction, night and day difference.
Always one of my favorite parts of the build to watch!
I would love to see the whole floor plan of this place with elevations, also, to have you build the barndo for us in WI. Definitely like this series, great job and thank you for featuring it!
Will be on my site
QUALITY SELLS ITSELF
ALL DAY LONG!!!
☮️💜🇺🇸
..”the quite sounds of working in town..” ✌🏾
Greg is a dedicated hard working man. Kyle is extremely fortunate to have him. 💪👍👍
Well done guys, I like the variance in filming, particularly the drone shots when building the walls, attempting to start the Tele-handler. That background music is great.
Nice sunny day, no wind. What's not to like? Yea. No sweating. Nice to see. Thanks for sharing all of this. So much fun to see it all come together. 〰✨🌿👍🌿✨〰
Spending the extra time to get the top of the post all the same height saves much, much more time later on. It's the 'foundation' for the structure after the concrete work.
Big advantage Post Frame has is the large expansion for rooms. Vs traditional beams (LVL or steel) to spanning areas to open up the locations. as well as headers, etc where you need to beef up the wall framing for an opening. As all the weight is on the exterior posts, everything inside the wall is simply mounting.
happy new year keep up the good work guys
The Star Wars reference at 40:38 increased the greatness of this series for me.
Love Star Wars
You guys are honestly freakin' amazing!! LOVE this channel!!
Very nice start even with the cold weather!
Amazing like always
awesome video. Thank you
i like this style of construction
These videos pump me up so much. After a hard day of work I wish I was back at the job site.
Really enjoying this build!
Fine,mighty fine.
I would use that nail gun every time it's good to hand drive some but one good bout of tennis elbow sold me on every nail gun available man your structures go up so quick looking great the building Brothers
Maybe somewhat, but most of my arm pain comes from my non dominant "holding" hand.. nail guns get heavy too. Recoil on big nails is a thing too.
Probably why I use more screws now too!
Love the truewerk t3 pants because of you guys wearing there gear. pretty much been wearing them since November! 😅
Proactive competence all the way.
Cool les gars, j'ai hâte de voir la suite 👍
Yall work good together. Nice looking work
That stabila with the visual measurement is a game changer. Beats the hell outta an old school telescope transit and tape measure. One day i’ll get me one. Luckily with steel structures were usually spanning 20-24’ between columns so chasing 3/16’s isnt as important as post frame
I ordered some pants from truewerk about a year ago. They sent me the correct size but incorrect color. They sent me the correct pair and let me keep the other. Best pants I've ever owned.
You guys should take your acting skills on the road. It's getting better and better over the years! Love the back and forth banter guys. Can't wait to see how this build progresses. Thanks for making my lunch enjoyable today.
Looking awesome fellas
On our site at the end of day, we switched off the machines, put all our tools away clered the site then with the old machines wrapped a double long blanket over engine, went under to sump, wrapped int around it then taped it up keep cold out. then put a message on steering wheel to remind to take it off in the morning,!! It worked.
Pretty cool for sure!
I Still wish that you guys could come to Georgia and build a Barndo for me !! Great as usual ! ❤😎😊
Everything is negotiable 💰💰💰
Getting older sucks Kyle…I feel ya with the socks!
OUTSTANDING ; o ....
i have a 21 x 21 house, i chuckle every time ti see the title of this series !
Well done❤
Building with two framers and one forklift.❤😂😮
@@toddavis8603 I see what you did there.
Kyle- Take Greg’s advice to use fasteners when installing your insulation board on the outside of your foundation walls next time. Take a look @ 43:36. You ended up having a pretty large gap between the insulation board and the concrete. Your thought was that the backfill would hold the insulation board against the concrete but my guess is that stone had fallen down between the concrete and insulation board when you were placing and grading the stone on the interior area of the house. Placing fasteners only at the top of the insulation board would keep your time and cost to a minimum but would result in obtaining better insulating performance. The whole idea of this project is to have an energy efficient house right?
Very interesting construction!
Easy and cheap way to build.
You know why I like Makita powertools best? They have the best sound to it. DeWalt has an annoying high pitch for instance. 😁👍🏼😁👍🏼
Winter building no flies or bees
Nice tool belt Kyle!👍😂
Another great video. You may want to look into some heavier gauge jumper cables though; I think you’ll appreciate them.
If you attached a 1-2ft 2x4 or even 2x6 to the outside of those beams, it should stop them from falling out of the brackets when lifting. You know everything so maybe not worth the extra time vs just moving them back onto the brackets tho.
whats good about building in winter?? NO freakin bugs! it just dawned on me, everytime I see the outside foam board, it reminds me of a wonder bread package.
Loved how the walls were lifted with a skid steer.... And Greg. At least get that guy a little skid steer!?! And some gloves. 😊
I still see some burying posts and climbing to nail all the girts ....this system is much easier and could last forever.
Make a video with Perkins builders will be such a good video also you’ve already got there tool belt
That laser elevation surveying set-up sure makes it quicker & easier than when I surveyed as a college co-op student in the early 1960s. Yeah - I’m that old, retired but still love to watch construction, machine shop and drag racing content.
Question on the elevation pole or range pole - whatever it’s called these days: I notice that you do not rock the pole when you’re getting an elevation at each bracket. When we surveyed manually, we rocked the pole and the instrument man read & recorded (manually in the log book) the lowest number. That eliminated erroneous readings due to the pole being held off vertical. Does your system have a level on the pole that you hold plumb? Or maybe something built into the system that signals amount off plumb and the laser system corrects the reading with some trigonometry calculation inside the black box?
We got two quarters of surveying in school, but being Mechanical Engineering students we never figured on needing it. First co-op job was - surprise! - surveying. Should have paid better attention to elevation surveying lesson, but our survey sight in West Philadelphia was bordered by the street Wilt Chamberlain’s mother lived on. Our levels and transits spent more time aimed toward her home hoping to catch Wilt pull up for a visit in his ‘59 Caddy convertible than working the surveying assignment of the day.
We saw him once.
The laser receiver pole has a built in bubble level that will sit dead center when the pole is plumb.
A lot of the rods have a plumb indicator level but I think they mainly use the technique of balancing the rod to the point where it tries to stand on it’s own for a second or two before tilting in one direction or the other. It’s just something you develop a feel for over time.
Nice
You have to admire someone who can drive 20 penny nails with either hand.
Love to see it
I’m building a 48’ x 72’ two story home. I cut the outer wing off the bracket but I left the entire base. I didn’t save money on splitting the bracket in half but I wanted the entire post base to be supported.
Nice Stsr Wars reference 😂
Nice work!!! Wear your safety glasses! 😎
I caught the Eminem reference Kyle!
Mom’s spaghetti
Knees week arms are heavier
You should hold the tape on the 5/16 or whatever and Greg can just mark the 10' on every one raher than having to do the math. Love the content btw!
Winter building-no sweating
Not true
Have you ever considered cutting the columns and girts in your new shop? At least in the winter time?
Telehandler not starting
Me: Oh no, Kyle's gonna have to buy a magni! xD
Went on the truework site the bibs look great but the sizing is very small a 3 xl is only a42 inch waist. Go bigger sell more. Love your channel been here from the start
Give it the ether boys.
28:20 The Stare... The Wink...The Click... 😂😂
Winter Construction = No Mosquitos . .
Your barn looks good 🤣
“Almost there….” “Pull up, pull up!” Was that a Star Wars reference?
Yep
The Milwaukee winter bib is solid, a little more bulky tho.
Guys need the biggest baddest noco jump starter they make. Keep it warm, and use it to jump start the equipment.
Got one of those recently, different brand with air pump. Awesome piece of kit I shoulda got a long time ago.
So you talk about the thermal wear, but didn't mention what temp you were working in . . . I'm pretty comfy down to about 20 degrees (with no wind) with a sweat shirt and light gloves as long as I'm moving. I don't really like tight glove either. I use the cheap brown thin gloves too.
Too late I had Perma Columns put in my building 5 years ago. They were ordered with the concreate bottom column'. They looked very uniform.
You bet!
33:19 Someone needs a trikle charger with a solar panel.
Here we go
We really need a close up of you measuring your column and cutting everything that would be amazing to make your post
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Kyle: “We’re gonna start building our walls…”.
*Walls behind you are already built. 😂
I keep telling you, Leave Creg alone. 😂😂😂😂
😊😊😊😊
Kyle, have you seen the email from Menards telling you to order all your lumber for future projects now due to impending tariffs and supply chain problems? You're industry is about to take a big hit.
Saw something
See you got the snow you wanted.
When cutting the outer ply of the post is that hight to top cord of truss or to top of tail.
👍👌👏
For me, as a norwegian carpenter/ framer, this way of building is fun, but strange to watch. I try to follow when measuring the brackets, but the imperial system makes my head spin😂
31:52 I got it. 😅
Enjoy your videos-you never mention building inspectors-any concerns with them?
Sounds like love's got ahold on me! Did I get the reference right? My hands are sweaty and my knees are weak...
palms are sweaty, knees weak arms are heavy, there's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
🔥🔥🔥🔥 WORK....IS THIS FLOOR PLAN ON THE WEBSITE? WHAT IS THE HEIGHT OF GARAGE COMPARED TO HOUSE?
