Pole Barn Build - Start to Finish: Timelapse Full Workshop with Loft
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ส.ค. 2024
- We've done it! The new pole barn workshop has become a reality for the Retro Revivals crew! We still have some work to do but in this video we will walk through the process of this full build from start to finish over the past two months. It was a little tricky because the area where we had the barn built was a hill with a decent slope in the front and back. We'll show the initial post holes, framing, trusses, roofing, concrete, doors, sealing the concrete, and construction of the loft. We'll also start to fill it up when we move in Harvey (our vintage Dodge RV from 1976) along with our 1967 Ford F100 and our 1973 Holiday Rambler Vacationer travel trailer.

You guys are so much fun to watch. I love this channel.
Thank you 😊😊
I’ve seen a few guys build a small compressor closet out side. Then they run the line through the wall. Super quiet, and out of the way! Super nice barn y’all!!!
Thanks! 😊 That's a good idea, Nick. We might end up going that route.
You guys are amazing ! So entertaining ! My favorite you tube channel. Love your family.
Thanks so much!! You are so kind 😊
You might want to look up Wild Wonderful Off-Grid on YT. They are a couple who live on a Homestead in West Virginia and the husband created the solar grid completely along with completely building their A-frame house completely on their own. You just might get a few great ideas on how to proceed installing solar electricity in your pole barn without going bankrupt. Good luck, and great job, well done!
Yes! Thanks for the suggestion, we'll try to check them out!
Enjoyed seeing your new video and garage !!!
Thank you 🎉🎉
Tucson is hot in the summer but we never have to work in snow.
We don't get as much snow as we used to (knock on wood) but it's still a pain!
Put sheet insulation on the walls of the bigger room before you put up shelved. Just buy 2" foam and cut and put it up. Otherwise, you will have move all the shelves and unload them later. You might be able to find some builders with some less than perfect foam you could use. A sheet or two will at least get a couple of areas done so you can put up the shelves.
Yes, great idea! We've been trying to keep our eyes open for some at a decent price. Since summer is on the way, we're not in too big of a rush but don't really want to move everything to do it later if we don't have to. Thanks for watching!
You guys must have a shed load of cash for this project. Awesome!
Well, any cash we had in the shed is long gone now! We still want to do more but it'll need to happen in phases.
I'm from Vancouver Island Canada and I've never heard of a Pole Barn. I learned something new! I'm so happy for you! Congratulations on the new shop!
Yay, glad we could teach you a new thing 😆. Thank you so much for watching, we appreciate the support.
I love your videos! You two are so cute together! I love how you do rediculous things, like driving Harvey with the cover on, and admit that it's crazy. I had to laugh. My husband and I are so like that! 😜
You can try a power station with solar panels to power your building there are a lot of videos on youtube to watch go off grid screw the power company. I really enjoy your channel.
Going off-grid definitely sounds appealing! We have started to research and it looks like there are several options that might work... just trying to determine if we'd be able to run a welder, compressor, or that sort of thing. Thanks for watching!
I would power that with a gas generator for now. Can add fuel gas kit and run propane later. Solar won't pay for part time duty. Nice barn BTW.
Thanks! For the time being we're using a gas generator. We'll probably still add a mid-size solar generator to mix in the future.
Really looking forward to the future build videos now that you have a clean dry place to work
Yes, same! 🎉🎉😄
Great workshop! Wish we had one, but it might not fit on our .13 acres. 😂😂😂 Oh well, we'll keep watching y'all. We are almost finiahed with our camper and appreciate all the ideas you've given us just by sharing your own experience!
We really appreciate you watching! Glad to hear that your project is coming along. Just in time for summer 🌞
Nice shop for late nights working
For sure! Well, once we figure out a way to power some lights anyway 😂
@@retrorevivals check out Fishin n stuff. He just did an easy solar install that can get bigger
Thanks! We just watched that and it looks easy enough. At the end, he showed those solar generators... we're leaving towards something like that maybe instead of the diy route.
@@retrorevivals yes, those are good also. We have a small one (Jackery) for camping so I can run a C-Pap machine at night and solar charge it during the day
congrats.👍
Thanks 🎉🎉
Have the Electricians put in 200 amp panel, run the wires to all the outlets, & lights in the barn, have them install a box on the outside wall to hook up a generator to the panel to run the barn. the portable generator can be outside possible with a cover over it, so that you don't hear the noise and smell the exhaust. when done for the day then unplug the generator and bring inside, that way it wont be stolen. until you have enough money saved to put a house generator outside to power the barn. Just a thought.
Thanks for the comment 😁. That is definitely being discussed as a short term solution. Great minds think alike 😉
Off that reminds me I haven't started up the 86 chevy G30 all winter......eeessh
Oh boy, better get out there!
That electric price is pretty cheap actually they are an old monopoly, but you guys have to get your merch going, big money in merch and we as fans want it. Awesome new building
It's so crazy how the electric companies can have monopolies like that. We're still working on a plan. Thanks so much for watching! We're hoping to start promoting a little merch soon 😀
Sounds like us rn now got a new property and just to get power 500ft to the entrance, was quoted 15k, doesn't include to where our first structure is going to be. So we've been looking into solar generators from ECO Flow and maybe trying to get the full stack while we start working the land.
Congratulations!! No more nature shots of working ( mechanicking) outdoors!
Thanks! At least if we do choose to work outside,it'll be by choice,lol!
Solar to run anything other than lights is expensive.
What I did for 5 years was ran a 10 Guage 30 Amp circuit to my building from my house. You can do a lot with 30 amps. Then I had gas generator when I needed to weld or plasma cut. I also built a gas powered air compressor and saved my pennies for a proper 200amp service.
We're seeing some new solar generator options that seem somewhat affordable but we're just not sure how well they'd keep up. The extension cord idea isn't bad at all until we figure something out. Thanks!
Make a french drain in front of the concrete to help divert the water before you put the stone in. Once you put the larger stone in, choke it off with granulated slag and it will harden up just like concrete.
Thanks for the tip 😉. We've yet to get more stone. Water diversion is a big priority. The French drain is a good idea.
it'll be a shrew or a vole, very close to the mole
Yes! It looks like it was a Northern Short Tailed Shrew. Thanks so much for the comment! We appreciate you watching!
YAY!!!! Been waiting with excitement for your next video and it’s the shop reveal. We’ve missed y’all !!!!!
Aww, thanks, we're looking forward to getting videos out more regularly soon!
@@retrorevivalsCan’t wait my hubby & I love your videos. We’ve been camping for 35 yrs.
That is very flattering. We appreciate your support! ❤️
I recall "Sleeperdude" lacking tables in his new shop.
Oh yeah, that's right, I think vevor gave them a bunch of tables and shelves, didn't they? We have some basic toolboxes and carts but will need more workbench space for sure.
The plastic tables don't hold much weight. Seek out wooden ones.
@@retrorevivals
Congratulations on the new pole barn! I'm looking forward to watching you revive more old vehicles and campers.
Yes, thank you! We're excited too 🎉😁
Loved the movie clips and the old fashioned music. OK, yes, Dad and I were singing along! So the vole/mole /shrew was pretty cute!
Glad you enjoyed it!!😊
I've been patiently wait for the barn to get built so I can see some more great videos your family puts out
Yes, thanks! We're excited to get back to it... it's been a hectic couple of months.
Glad you explained the shingles. I was going to ask. Looks great. Now if you can just find some good used shelving for the cheap, it will help keep things straightened. My brother in law worked at a CVS and I got all the shelving when they redid the store. The whole basement is pegboard and shelves. Really helps but I pity the guy that has to clean it all out someday.
Thanks! We actually just built some shelving from scratch. Check out our latest video 😁.
If you are.
Thinking about generators. It's a possibility for the power looking to natural gas generators. You can use it for your shop, but you can also have it converted into your house. When the power does go out, they can put it on a grid and it is phenomenal. The only thing you will have to do is do. An oil change on it once a year. My mother and father converted their home over to a natural gas generator after the whole 2003 Eastern seaboard, half of the US when there was the major blackout that happened back then. And I'll tell you what because everything is run off of computers. Even if you do have a generator, you still have to go to a gas station and get fuel whereas with natural gas. You don't have to fill your generator up. It will run off of a natural source. It is an amazing innovation in the modernization of home building. And resources.
We're definitely open to all possibilities. We appreciate that suggestion!
😆 🤣 😂 gonna go back in time..... lol love the clips
Thanks! Hey, so, your name is solar life off grid... we might need your help! Are you an expert in that area? We're strongly considering solar to power the barn.
Your shop looks great! I think the big room would be great for tool storage, engine work etc. This may be just me or my eyes playing tricks, but at the end of the video it looks liet that back corner post doesn't go all the way to the slab. Am I seeing things? As always, I really enjoy your videos and can't wait to see you renovate the Holiday Rambler.
Thanks! We are really looking forward to having storage space! Yes, your eyes are playing tricks on you, lol. The posts had the bottom 5 or 6 feet coated in some kind of greenish substance presumably to make them more resistant to rot since they get buried... you were probably seeing the end of that green stuff :-)
Congratulations guys !! Beautiful shop
Thank you!
Sounds like you guys need to partner with eco flow
That would be amazing! We definitely need something like that. The power company has been so difficult to deal with :-( We'd love to have power without them.
Congratulations on the new pole barn workshop. After watching you work in the driveway I am sure you will appreciate it.
Thanks! It'll be a game changer!
Need to find someone who can do a 3D scan of the Holiday Vacationer plastic plaque then edit it to restore its shape, then resin 3D print one for making a silicone mold to cast new ones. Another way to do it would be to put it on a flatbed scanner then use the image as a background guide in 3D modeling software to make the STL model from scratch.
Either way, once you have the mold you might get some other Vacationer owners wanting new plaques. They could be made fade proof by filling the letters and outline with colored resin then when that sets cast the rest in white.
That's a really good idea. Ours are in pretty good shape but do have some cracks... might not be a bad idea to cast some new ones with resin. Using different colors of resin would be a great idea too. Thanks for watching!
I think you could get a decent off grid solar kit with batteries for close to 13k!
From what we've seen, there are some that are even quite a bit less than that. We're getting pretty fed up with the electric company so seriously considering solar!
The jumper cables you are using to jump start.Harvey are not good jumper cables at all.Yes they may be new or newer but the gauge of the wire is too small and those are only really meant for a four cylinder or even a motorcycle but never a V8.
I never thought it made much of a difference, but it definitely does!
That makes sense. Thanks!
Congrats on the pole barn!!! Looks great, so exciting! I have a pole barn that I plan on converting into my home. Think about putting your tool storage on wheels. This way they can be moved close to where you a working and maybe store them under the worktable when not in use.
That's exciting! So many cool ideas out there for converting barns into homes. Good suggestion on the rolling storage too. Thanks for the comment!
Time Stamp 5:12 Voll. FYI: Mice can scoot through a 1/4 inch opening. I actually saw that once.
They are sneaky little devils. We bought some pest block spray foam to make it a little more difficult for them. We hope,lol!
Ohmigosh, those dang gray tree rats are awful! They chewed through our main propane line on our rig last August. Now we’re in the process of going mostly electric in the rig.
No joke, Tyler just went out to start the excursion and the squirrel jumped out from under the hood. They're terrible!
I am glad for your new shop area. You can do a lot with that.
Thanks for the comment, we're excited too 🎉🎉
Hi guys, congratulations with your new barn. Looks very good 🎉
Thank you 🎉
Huge congratulations on the beautiful new pole barn, that will be so nice for you all. How fun and a great building to do your projects. You won’t know what to do. Oh no, oil on the floor. Lol. Smart build on the back of the garage. Blank page to work with. The wind catcher was cute and didn’t block much other than the windshield of the pickup. Happy for your progress. ‼👏🎉🥂
Thank you! We're excited to get out there and get to work! We appreciate you watching and celebrating along with us for this big step forward 🎉
🎉 Congrats on your New Pole Barn Work Shop ❤
Wondering what company you used if you would recommend them...im in Ortonville Mi 😊
Love your Videos and Following Along on Your Great Team Efforts and Humor to Go With it 😊
That's great! Thank you so much for following along. We used JL Custom Builders and were very happy with their work. Full disclosure, we have a family connection to them but, yes, would recommend. 👍👍🎉
Well done, love the barn,I see lots of great content in the future 🎉❤😊
Thanks, we hope so! Appreciate you watching!
That I believe is a shrew.. Similar is size & shape to a mouse
Yes! We googled the little guy and think it's a Northern short-tailed shrew 🐁
I love your Econoline! Are you going to reuse the vinyl cover for the couch or do you think you can with new padding? Do you have a name for it yet? How about, The Green Lantern?
We don't have a name yet! We are so excited to get started on it but need to finish a bit with the Holiday Rambler first. Hopefully soon! Good question about the fabric. We'll talk need to look closer at our to see what's salvageable. Thanks for watching!
Can I just offer a suggestion about your downspouts? Even if you didn’t ask….get yourselves some PVC pipe to put over those down spouts on the ground to prevent smashing them over time. Small price for peace of mind and detergent of wear and tear.
That's a good idea, thanks!
Make a little bathroom under your stairs...😮
Maybe someday! Currently no water to the barn. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Beautiful! Congrats!
Thank you 😁😁
So excited!
Yes! 🎉🎉
By Michigan standards, 32 inches deep as your frostline.Or what they consider as you are frostline, so anything beneath?That is ideal for placing polls for Dex or Barnes.Or as you call it the pole barn which is not just a reference term that is used in just michigan or the midwest it is all over the place.
I live in Tennessee now but I am from your general neck of the woods.I was born and raised on the East Side of Detroit near 7 and Mac.And then I moved a little bit North to Mount Clemens.And in two thousand and fifteen I moved to brighton tennessee and yes they call them polbarn stone here as well.
So glad to see you guys have finally got the show on the road and can finally have a viable workspace rather than just using your back forty and your garage l o l.😊
Thanks for the comment, James, we're excited to get to work out in this barn. We thought pole barn was a pretty universal term but we had a few comments mentioning how it was funny that midwesterners called them pole barns so we started to wonder 😆. Thanks for watching!
Go solar!!!
We're researching options... solar would be amazing!
Nice poll barn
Thank you 😊
Awesome!❤️😁
🥳
Congratulations! Your channel is awesome and ya’ll are awesome too! I would say go slow as you setup the floor! Maybe let the design come to you as you work! Recommend staying mobile with tools and such until that design reveals itself to ya! Also you could get your power box/breakers in and then connect via a proper extension cord from the house! Seen it done many times! Not sure how legal it is but it works! Blessings 👊🙏
Thank you so much 😁! Thanks for the tip. Tool organization and convenience is a must. We've got a couple of carts that we wheel around. It helps with efficiency. We'll start wiring for electric shortly and then figure out the rest in the meantime.
That small animal that was trying to get in the pole barn is a mole.
Thanks 😉
Do you have any plans to install a lift?
We'd love to someday but we'll need to save up our pennies to be able to afford one!
The not a mouse is called shrew
Yes, and definitely not a skink, lol 🦎 😂
Looked like a mole to me.
@@michelleblackwell3440 that's what I thought also.
Moles don't have tails and larger front feet
The new shop is awesome! What are you going to use for heat?
Well, that's a great question and will depend to some extent on what we can get for electricity. We won't invest much in heat before we're able to do insulation so it'll probably have to come in phases. Most likely just use little propane powered heat to start. Thankfully winter is almost over 🥶
If you want solar info watch AZ Experts You Tube Channel.Hd runs his repair shop with solar.
Thank you for that suggestion; we'll check him out!
It's a vole??
We're pretty sure it's a Northern short-tailed shrew 🐁
That was a Mole
So, we googled it and turns out it's a Northern short-tailed shrew 🐁
Huh! Looks like a mole, but if Google calls it a shrew, I guess it’s a shrew
they're both insectivores, so I guess they're kinfolks! lol
👍👍👍👍❤❤
what are the dimensions
Hello, it's 32x60 with 14' walls
may be u can gave the van too your son..
Well that might depend on how much he helps 😆
That little rodent is a vole .
Thanks for the comment, Mildred! We've had a few comments saying mole, vole, or shrew... we looked it up and we think that it's actually a Northern short-tailed shrew. They're all pretty similar though 🐁
Lets drag the tarp all over the woods and destroy it because he will not take 5 minutes to pull it off. Crazy unbelievable. % minutes extra is all it would take but no lets obstruct your vision as well. Sorry if I am rambling but taking a few minutes extra to do it safely is not to much. But i guess he needs to tarp the vehicle in the shop in case the roof of the new shop leaks. All that room inside and no vehicle lifts? OK.
We tend to do crazy things from time to time 😂 Rest assured neither the RV cover nor the driver were in any danger.
Nice barn
Thank you 😊
