- Brent shows us the technical side of the ranch project. The timber-frame barn is now erected and joins the log cabin portion to hint at an amazing structure.

Wow, you said Breathe! SOOOO glad to hear you say that. In Building Science 101, Steve talks about how he "put to bed" the debate of a house's need to breathe - that you might as well leave the windows open. He really needs to clarify that statement and specify that the AIR-conditioned spaces Need Not breathe, while the UN-conditioned spaces ABSOLUTLEY need to breathe. People that watch that episode don't differentiate and it confuses them. The other thing that helps that cedar siding's coatings are back-priming, something we've gotten away from. This space looks ABSOLUTELY AMAZING Brent! This had to have been a dream to build. You're obviously Passionate About Your Craft! Great job on blending in contemporary with Traditional - not the easiest for everyone to do, and when to use/not use.
Thanks so much. Cheers.
Thanks for sharing this, love seeing the technical details of how you are maintaining the historic appeal of the structure while maintaining modern comforts.
Thanks so much.
I live in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia and there old civil war and pre civil war barns that are falling down all the time around us. They usually lay in a pile of rubble for years after collapse.
It’s an incredible shame that the owners don’t maintain them enough to remain standing but it baffles me that they wouldn’t call someone to collect all the old barnwood as it lays in a field.
I understand those barns are less useful today with modern farming, but they could be repurposed into unique projects like this or at least have their wood salvaged.
Very true. Sounds like a business opportunity for someone.
Amazing project! Thanks for sharing, inspiring and educating!
Thanks for watching!
TONNES of great technical details in the background. Looking great
Thank you!
Looking fantastic!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Cool project. The silo... excited to see the finished project.
Working on it. Thanks.
you mentioned briefly Mitsubishi but could you go into more detail about how you are heating and cooling the barn? Ductless heat pump? Ducted heat pump? what is the fuel source -- Gas, oil, electric - will they be dual fuel heat pumps? Solar? will there be any radiant heating? Thank you
It is a forced air system by Mistubishi. Gas is the fuel source. No, radiant heat.
I been building a large timber framed lodge the last 8 months I did a purlin roof over the Timbers
Awesome. Thanks for sharing.
I was just at a barn they turned into a bar. Harry's Barn in Paris, NY.
Nice, if I'm ever there, I'll check it out.
Very cool
Thanks!
How can I see the finished project. I am particularly interested in the stairs with the slats with stars and hearts cut into them. I would love to see a picture of them finished.
Working on it. Thx.
Someday foam insulation will be outlawed, thanks for the great video
Hope so! Thx
Did you set out to do bigger projects like this from the beginning or did the business grow into it? Would be really intersting to hear about the journey.
Ok, We grew into it for sure. I'll try to do a video. Thanks.
I wish you could share the the details of the construction documents.
Let me work on it.
Awesome content Brent! Wish we could have you and your team here in New Zealand, build quality is not very hight, but we do have some best timber in the world.
One question, why you hate foam Brent at 5:25?
Thanks so much. You need to watch my video on insulation. The quick answer is that it doesn't breathe, it is not vapor open, and it has hidden water on 2 different jobs that caused damage we had to go back and fix later. Thanks.
Wait, what's going to be inside the silo? Did I miss that?
Look for an answer in the next update video... 😀
Fabulous information and very timely. I have looked and looked for vids on climate architecture in truss party barns. Thanks you Brent
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
I want to come work for you!!! 🙋🏻♀️
Haha, come on.
When you have 25 million just burning a hole in your pocket 😂
Haha.
🕶🇺🇸
👍
Where's this awesome ranch?
Outside of Fort Worth about 30 minutes.
That looks expensive!
no comment. :)
Sure took a while to answer the question you asked at the beginning.
Noted. Thanks.
I learn so much from your videos, I discovered you originally from Richard's channel. I was going to join your podcast but you don't a have tier or category for a "Hack" and if you did it be $500.00 to join.🤣
Haha, thanks for watching. All hacks are welcome.
