Just a suggestion, you should park your tractors side by side then measure the space you need. I thought a 20 by20 would be plenty of space. By the time we put in the riding mower, the tool box and a cabinet for paint,we don't have enough room for the truck. So now we have a garage and a double carport.
My suggestion is to cut all the trees up in smaller lengths and pile up in the open field so you can burn them after they dry out...then your woods will stay clean...nothing prettier than an open woods with under brush gone
A typical 2 car garage is 24x24. To do everything you are wanting, I think you are probably needing more like 30x40. A truism of garages is "Too big is never big enough!"
I think that you son's work ethic is more a reflection of what he sees from you (and Angela), and less from hamming it up for the camera. One of my favorite things about your channel is watching you teach the boys. You give them a challenge, but don't let them bite off more than they can chew. They're lucky to have a dad who A) takes the time to teach them, and B) has the skills to teach them. Also though, they pick up on your work ethic and see you tackle new things, not shy away from learning a new skill, and it'll serve them well as they get older and get out on their own. They'll have the confidence to do things, even things they've never tackled before (again, like you). I'm sure you'll have no problem filling up a 20x30. As for DIY vs building with a pen and checkbook... they both have their advantages. I have no experience in that area, so you'll have to decide if you are going to DIY it or have it professionally installed. Thinking ahead, you'll probably need to run power out to it so you can run tools, have lighting, etc... but I'm sure you can tackle that part yourself. In any case, looking forward to see it all come together. Good luck !
If you build it yourself you can afford a larger size bcuz you save a lot of money from labor. But if you are in need of it in a hurry you will have to go smaller to be able to pay the 3X fee for labor. Also in the future you may want to cut the tree trunks and bigger limbs for campfires or heating your home. Stack the 16" long pieces between 2 trees to dry/cure. Cut the tree tops and brush up with the limbs facing the same way to later run it thru a chipper. The chips can be used in the parking area and around the doors to the house and sheds. The chips will absorb rain and keep the areas from becoming muddy. Also you can use it to create paths into/thru your woods. Maybe to a picnic area. Or use them on in ground "future " garden areas or flowerbeds. The deteriorating chips will hold water for less work in these planting areas. Always layer, never till in wood chips, 8" deep is a good start to help control weeds.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Family 1, log 0!!! How exciting!!! 2016 hubby built a 20x 40 ft quancet hut shop with a little help from his friends! They helped pour the concrete floor, and erect the first section. Over the course of that winter he built the rest. And has managed to fill it up. So glad to have his “treasures” out of the basement!! Lol. You can do that it!! Angela, you quilt? Please share!!
Great Idea to have a METAL &POLE BARN ? For All the THINGS!! Just make sure it WILL ALL FIT! Looking forward to Any & All that's AHEAD!!! Love as Always How YOU ALL WORK TOGETHER! The Boys are Growing Up to Fast but Great Helpers! God Bless & Hurry Back LOVE TO YOU ALL THERE!!
💕20 by 30 is a great start if you leave room at the side of said barn then further down the line you can add additional spaces to the sides💕Like a tool storage & parts room/barn plus you could add loft space above for future projects💕
Hey Sam and Angela and Boys, so enjoyed watching all the work you guys did for the garage area. Truly a family effort. That will be a good storage place for the outside gadgets and such. 👍👍👍
Speaking from experience, do yourself a favor and make it twice as big. I had a 24 X 36 pole barn built thinking it would handle all my storage needs. Wellll, it only took a matter of weeks for me to learn they look a lot bigger when they are empty than when you start filling them. A 20 X 30 will likely only be large enough for your tractors and implements
Hi Sam Angela & Boys,always nice to see the boys helping.They are learning so much from both of you.I just smiled when your son yelled “timber”.LOL WISHING YOU THE BEST ON YOUR NEW PROJECT!💕
Yay! A new project!! I, personally would love a 40x40! We have a 15x20...nowhere near what we need. 2 lawnmowers, 2 weed eaters, 2 blowers, tool box...you get the picture🤦 Have to step out of it to change your mind!🤣 40x40 would be awesome but we would have to do it in 2 parts, as we can afford. 1 20x40 and later add beside it another 20x40 and Bobs your uncle!! Room for every thing! Hope all has an awesomely blessed weekend!
I have 2 of the car ports, one enclosed with roll up door and one open on both ends with siding to the ground. I have really enjoyed these buildings as they are not terribly expensive, and they get installed by a good crew in a quick manner. Lots of options for doors and windows. I have one on concrete floor and one in gravel. As many may have said do not think small, it will be a very bad move. Also anchoring is way important. As always you guys have a great site......
That little one had me dying laughing 🤣 he is then cutest little thing and big brother helping take that limb it so good to see children helping mama and daddy clean up I love your videos tyfs hugs
"Sam you need a grapple". I was thinking that exact same thing as soon as it popped up on the screen. I know I don't regret purchasing one. Once you get one, you will question yourself on why you waited. Looking good.
Pole saws are awesome at that kind of work. Another thing is taking a grass trimmer and putting a round chainsaw blade on it. Amazing! Garage? Go big! My garage is 30x40. That way I have three bays in front and a fourth on the side. Great for storing my ATV and lawn tractor with space enough for work benches. And the resale value? Awesome!
We had a 28x40 metal building put up … they put it up in 2 days. It was worth the money having it done that quick.. would have been 2 months if my husband and I had done it.
Oh you all did such a great job of clearing this area, so wonderful that all of those little trees are down and all that other stuff is cleared out and I am so excited to see that pole barn you are getting that will be so wonderful to put all of your equipment and other things inside and make it so much easier to deal with. Your boys have become such a great help and they keep learning more and more stuff to do and complete. Have a beautiful and blessed weekend, sending love and hugs, bye! 😂😍🤗👋👋👍🙏💜💜
Shop around for the car port/pole barn/DIY car port kit because many prices do varies. The materials would be the main price vs labor. There are a LOT of prices out there and even some from 30 mins away would do free delivery depending on your area. For example, between Athens, Madisonville, and Maryville there are 1 company (I'll name later if requested) separate in each of those area that have it pretty cheap, with warranty and without. That's in East TN area.
Team work makes the dream work ❤🎉 The boys are gaining skills and work ethic!!! A mechanics pit sounds like a great idea 💡!!! As far as content … I love all of it ! And I enjoy the variety and surprises too ❤ 😘😘.
We live on an off grid ranch in arizona and have been watching you guys since the beginning, we moved our manufactured home in, built porches, solar, septic etc. We just finished a 32x42 versatube shop/garage that my son and I buildt by ourselves. Feel free to reach out for all the tricks and issue we encountered but we loved doing it and its a great memory for us both. We both learned alot by watching the Trippy Acres channel on their versatube build.
There has NEVER been not one time where you guys haven't cheered me up watching a video!!! Blessings with whatever plan you guys decide, Dirty Jersey out!!
They're pretty easy to put together, we've done one small one with a dirt floor, and one large one with a concrete floor and built-in heat. We built wooden ends to close them both in. Had help for the big one, (30 x 20) but the smaller one was a breeze. The small one was a demonstration model, got it really cheap at the end of summer, as they had taken it apart and put it together several times at fairs and home shows all around the area. It had a few extra screw holes, but he filled those with silicone, it's still dry, 25 years or more later. It's about 10 x 12. Added an awning onto it to double its roof size the next year. When he got around to the bigger one that became his shop, Hubby went to the place, asked for seconds on the sheet metal, and got it very cheap compared to all new. Had them make the ribs up to our specifications, height and width of the building, etc. They threw in bags of rubber-washered self-tapping screws for free, cause they liked Hubs, I guess. Had a crew of buddies help with the setup, pour, and finish of the heated pad. He had a local fellow build up the side and back walls with a couple of rounds of concrete blocks and mortar to give the place more height, and then the ribs attached onto the blocks. Ended up building a second roof on top of the old one, though, because of condensation and dripping in the winter. Insulated the whole place with inch-thick second hand foil backed foam. Also built and extension onto the front of it later on, too, which almost doubled the under-roof space for it as well. Building's 20 years old or more, and still in great shape. That's a cool thing about them, you can always add more ribs and more roof! Best of luck with it, however you choose to go! 👍
I wish you guys could make more videos. I dont care if its just a day in your lives! I love being around you guy's , im sure everyone else does also! ❤
Another suggestion Sam and Angela, when sawing a limb off (up high) start underneath to keep from having ithe limb pull the bark off. Love all of you!!
Just a heads up that you moving all that plant stuff to the woods in the back may not be anything right now but just be careful and a watchful eye next spring as it could become a snake pit!
Put everything you want in that new structure out together, measure them, I'm pretty sure you'll find that 20 X 30 is not going to be big enough. I also see additional implements in your future. It's probably cheaper to build the bigger one now.
One thing I'd mention, I wasn't sure why yall would put the pile of limbs and tree up into the wood because it can leave a nice hidden area for the snake and other critters to stay around... and unsure if yall would pile it up away from such area and make it a burn pile and have less work to do in the future. Check with TN burn permit as they come and go. :)
I thought I would share this recipe for apple sauce cinnamon cut in any cookie cutters; this time of year when we close up the house is a good time to make with your children for thanksgiving or gifts or later for I hang where we hang our coats and also Christmas tree ornaments: CINNAMON ORNAMENTS 3/4 cup applesauce • 2 bottles (2.37 oz. each) McCormick® Ground Cinnamon • Cookie cutters • Drinking straw • Colorful ribbon • Preheat oven to 200°F. Mix applesauce and cinnamon in small bowl until a smooth ball of dough is formed. (You may need use your hands to incorporate all of the cinnamon.) Using about 1/4 of the dough at a time, roll dough to 1/4-inch to 1/3-inch thickness between two sheets of plastic wrap. Peel off top sheet of plastic wrap. Cut dough into desired shapes with 2- to 3-inch cookie cutters. Make a hole at top of ornament with drinking straw or skewer. Place ornaments on baking sheet. • Bake 2 1/2 hours. Cool ornaments on wire rack. (Or, to dry ornaments at room temperature, carefully place them on wire rack. Let stand 1 to 2 days or until thoroughly dry, turning occasionally.) • Insert ribbon through holes and tie to hang. Decorate with opaque paint markers, found in arts and crafts stores, if desired. Making ornaments with this dough is a lot of fun and the result smells delightful! 1 1/2 cups applesauce to 2 cups cinnamon works for me to get a clay-like consistency. Dust hands with cinnamon for handling. You can add a teaspoon of cloves, ginger and allspice to round out the fragrance. To get them dry quicker, bake on an ungreased cookie sheet at 150 degrees for one hour. Remove from the cookie sheets and bake on the oven racks for another hour and a half. (Don't roll thinner than 1/4 inch if you're using this method.)
Amazing what these small tractors can do. I have a JD 2038R and it has saved my back many times. As for the building go as big as you can afford. I have a 2000 sq foot building and it does not take long to run out of space when you start adding equipment in there. It's better to build bigger now and not need it than trying to add on later when you run out of space.
I always like to think about future. A suggestion will be do the barn as big as you can even if you don't have lots of heavy machinery but in a Homestead you will be buying and needing more heavy machinery so if you are doing the work go big from the start, good luck.
Look out!!!! Your "Feral" boys are becoming domesticated young men!!! So fun to see them pitching in & helping build their home!!! 😊❤ PS - I ❤ the out takes!!!!
Just a suggestion, you should park your tractors side by side then measure the space you need. I thought a 20 by20 would be plenty of space.

Sam, you know as well as Angie does. Go as big as you can afford. It's never big enough, it will fill up fast. Love the pit idea.
Get 2 shipping containers and build a high roof between. Containers for storage and in-between for the vehicles.
A typical 2 car garage is 24x24. To do everything you are wanting, I think you are probably needing more like 30x40. A truism of garages is "Too big is never big enough!"
totally agree
Hey homestead family, maybe your next big toy should be a wood shredder! Thanks for keeping us on your projects journey❣️

I think Sam is having too much fun, in fact he looks like he's having a blast.😁
Yes park EVERYTHING you want to put in it, vehicles, mowers, tools, equipment, storage areas etc and measure from there.
If you build it yourself you can afford a larger size bcuz you save a lot of money from labor.
But if you are in need of it in a hurry you will have to go smaller to be able to pay the 3X fee for labor.

I'm helping all the way from my recliner. Great work.
Isaac!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I believe he is a mini Sam!! Such humor!
Glad to hear what the next project might be. I know it will be well done and lots of family time to get it done. the boys have sprouted a bunch.
You need a wood chipper also. Love watching your family.
I enjoyed watching you guys working together. On the cutting branches down, clearing space for what you want to do it for
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Family 1, log 0!!! How exciting!!! 2016 hubby built a 20x 40 ft quancet hut shop with a little help from his friends! They helped pour the concrete floor, and erect the first section.

Tractor did so well! That's awesome!!
It sound nice being able to fix the car without laying in the dirt. Go for it from the get go and consider it done. You will be glad you did it.
Yay! A new project!! I, personally would love a 40x40! We have a 15x20...nowhere near what we need. 2 lawnmowers, 2 weed eaters, 2 blowers, tool box...you get the picture🤦 Have to step out of it to change your mind!🤣 40x40 would be awesome but we would have to do it in 2 parts, as we can afford. 1 20x40 and later add beside it another 20x40 and Bobs your uncle!!

Always make it bigger, people forget all the extra things they have , and put a loft in it
A lot of work to get to do a lot more work. Your boys are growing up so fast I do didn't even recognize them. See you all next time.
We usually wrap a chain around logs and pull them to where we want them.
I have 2 of the car ports, one enclosed with roll up door and one open on both ends with siding to the ground. I have really enjoyed these buildings as they are not terribly expensive, and they get installed by a good crew in a quick manner. Lots of options for doors and windows.

Mechanic's pit is must. Nudge that one closer to the top.
We have a 24x30 workshop, I would recommend 24 X 40 you will always regret not having "Extra" Space!
"Sam you need a grapple". I was thinking that exact same thing as soon as it popped up on the screen. I know I don't regret purchasing one. Once you get one, you will question yourself on why you waited. Looking good.

So nice to be able to plan for another building. Love seeing you all. God bless.
I would enjoy seeing you build that trench because I need one myself.
We had a 28x40 metal building put up … they put it up in 2 days. It was worth the money having it done that quick.. would have been 2 months if my husband and I had done it.
At least 2 months. Lol.

Drill the pins out and use a small padlock. It takes longer to take the mounting hardware off making it harder to get in.
Good to hear from y’all! I’ve missed see y’all
Great job everyone! You have beautiful property and this barn/shed will be great! I can’t wait to see what is next!
Goooooood afternoon!
Love the outtakes, guys!
There has NEVER been not one time where you guys haven't cheered me up watching a video!!! Blessings with whatever plan you guys decide, Dirty Jersey out!!

I wish you guys could make more videos. I dont care if its just a day in your lives! I love being around you guy's , im sure everyone else does also! ❤
Hello guys, just making suggestion, you should make your car porch 24 × 30 that way would look like a garage. 🥰🤗🌹❤🙏
Another suggestion Sam and Angela, when sawing a limb off (up high) start underneath to keep from having ithe limb pull the bark off. Love all of you!!
We had a barn built and putt a loft in the back of the barn. Good storage.
Yay, another big project!!! Love watching these. 😀
Great workers!
It looking good great boys that once to help
Just love y'all....and miss seeing you....hugs
I can’t believe how big the kids have gotten. I remember them playing in the dirt with toys back in the tree line behind the house.
I'm impressed! There's no way my little tractor could have moved that big tree trunk!
Split the difference, you put in the cement slab and pay for the pole barn to be built, if you can get a decent deal on it.
Genes are an amazing thing, the oldest boy has a lot of his mother's facial expressions....
Kool video! Neat idea. Can not wait to see it done.
Thanks guys! So excited for you! Can’t wait!
So good to see y’all! Yall did a great job clearing out the brush! Have a blessed day💜
I believe in always build bigger.
Yayyyy more Sam and Angela!!! Always happy to see new videos pop up
Can't wait to see it....Best wishes.
You guys are having wayyy to much fun with tractor!😂
I'M HERE FOR IT AS ALWAYS LOVE YOUR VIDEOS AND JUST LOVE WATCHING GOOD PEOPLE WHO LOVE GOD 🥰
Good luck and have fun.
Guys it's looking really good around there ,nit haven't been getting videos lately this is the first one [about 2 weeks bit injoy y'all videos
I love y’all guys channel
Just a heads up that you moving all that plant stuff to the woods in the back may not be anything right now but just be careful and a watchful eye next spring as it could become a snake pit!
I'm sure ones it's dried out he has plans for it. Sam would not leave a sore eye for very long!
Put everything you want in that new structure out together, measure them, I'm pretty sure you'll find that 20 X 30 is not going to be big enough. I also see additional implements in your future. It's probably cheaper to build the bigger one now.
Great idea! Could there be a storm shelter underneath the garage/pole barn?
One thing I'd mention, I wasn't sure why yall would put the pile of limbs and tree up into the wood because it can leave a nice hidden area for the snake and other critters to stay around... and unsure if yall would pile it up away from such area and make it a burn pile and have less work to do in the future. Check with TN burn permit as they come and go. :)
I thought I would share this recipe for apple sauce cinnamon cut in any cookie cutters; this time of year when we close up the house is a good time to make with your children for thanksgiving or gifts or later for I hang where we hang our coats and also Christmas tree ornaments:
CINNAMON ORNAMENTS
3/4 cup applesauce
• 2 bottles (2.37 oz. each) McCormick® Ground Cinnamon
• Cookie cutters
• Drinking straw
• Colorful ribbon
• Preheat oven to 200°F. Mix applesauce and cinnamon in small bowl until a smooth ball of dough is formed. (You may need use your hands to incorporate all of the cinnamon.) Using about 1/4 of the dough at a time, roll dough to 1/4-inch to 1/3-inch thickness between two sheets of plastic wrap. Peel off top sheet of plastic wrap. Cut dough into desired shapes with 2- to 3-inch cookie cutters. Make a hole at top of ornament with drinking straw or skewer. Place ornaments on baking sheet.
• Bake 2 1/2 hours. Cool ornaments on wire rack. (Or, to dry ornaments at room temperature, carefully place them on wire rack. Let stand 1 to 2 days or until thoroughly dry, turning occasionally.)
• Insert ribbon through holes and tie to hang. Decorate with opaque paint markers, found in arts and crafts stores, if desired.
Making ornaments with this dough is a lot of fun and the result smells delightful! 1 1/2 cups applesauce to 2 cups cinnamon works for me to get a clay-like consistency. Dust hands with cinnamon for handling. You can add a teaspoon of cloves, ginger and allspice to round out the fragrance. To get them dry quicker, bake on an ungreased cookie sheet at 150 degrees for one hour. Remove from the cookie sheets and bake on the oven racks for another hour and a half. (Don't roll thinner than 1/4 inch if you're using this method.)
Great video! Thx Guys!
a pole barn is a great idea y'all...I can see you down in a pit Sam (& it's a lot cheaper than a lift) 👍 the yard is really lookin good too
when he fell, at first I thought Angela had taken a tumble .lol
Always love your new projects, and the way the children are involved.
Just wondering.... Sam, how are your feet doing?
What a great help the boys are! :)
Amazing what these small tractors can do. I have a JD 2038R and it has saved my back many times. As for the building go as big as you can afford. I have a 2000 sq foot building and it does not take long to run out of space when you start adding equipment in there. It's better to build bigger now and not need it than trying to add on later when you run out of space.
I always like to think about future. A suggestion will be do the barn as big as you can even if you don't have lots of heavy machinery but in a Homestead you will be buying and needing more heavy machinery so if you are doing the work go big from the start, good luck.
stay safe !!!
Sam, all you need is a set of bucket grapples. Be careful raising really heavy stuff up that high, one slip and you can bend your lifting arms.
Look out!!!! Your "Feral" boys are becoming domesticated young men!!! So fun to see them pitching in & helping build their home!!! 😊❤
PS - I ❤ the out takes!!!!
I wish i had been warching a storrm shleter being installed!
Love your videos and enjoy watching them every time they come on. May the lord bless and protect you and your family
