Great work. Grabdpa always said…. “When it is done right your great grand kids will admire it… cut corners and you’ll need to rebuild it at the worst possible time. “
Looking good around there Richard. Thanks for sharing with us today. Stay safe around there and set those poles for the carport. Have fun with what you all are doing. Fred.
Thank you!!!! You finally explained how you set your perimeters to make your foundation square. Buddy, you are a smart man. Little girl, thanks for getting your Dad to explain. Yee Haw!!
In Part 3 we use old school hand tools like the early pioneers. Battery operated drill, Propane brush burner, Paint roller with a plastic tray, Electro galvanized self tapping T-10 Torx head wood screws & Australian wood oil. In part 4 we are going to use a wood fired stream tractor with a post hole digger, a capstan for the derrick and a manually adjusted grader so hit the like button and tune in next week! Good camera and sound work!
Great video. I appreciate seeing someone else taking the time to set up batter boards for a square foundation. Also thanks giving the info on the type of oil that you used, I built my wood shed with timbers off of my property in almost the exact same way but I used cheap vegetable oil. Looking forward to trying out the oil you used. Thanks from Southern Oregon!!
Fantastic to see someone taking the time and doing things properly, knowing that you did it right, will bring you years of peace of mind and pleasure from you craftsmanship.
Thank you, Don! It was an act of congress to get him to show how he does that. He had figured people weren’t interested in that kind of stuff. He was wrong! Hope you are doing well, my friend!
Thanks Richard, those posts will definitly stand the test of time. Now that you have the corner hole positions located, you can schedule a date with your post hole diggers, and speaking of digging holes, my old Appalachian grandmother always had her potatoes in the ground by Saint Patrick's Day. Take care.
We need to get us a farmers almanac! Last year dads potatoes didn’t do very well, but surprisingly enough neither did my uncles or his friends. Hoping this year is better! Thanks, Jack!
@@SmokyMountainOutpost central Texas here: I planted my potatoes around St. Pats day. Sprinkled Epson salt (3-4 tablespoon every 12") then stuck my potatos in the dirt. No plant growth for 3 wks. So......poured/glupped fish emulsion (2 tablespoon in gallon water) down the rows. BOING! Beautiful plants in 3 days! Its now 8 wks and the are growing crazy happy. I ran out of dirt to mound up around the plants. They are still 18"+ above the dirt. I'm hopeful for a good crop. 👍✝️🙏❤️
Good video and job. Will burning them and coatings with timber oil keep the bees out of the pine wood here they are eating it up. You really have done a nice job on every thing. Take care be safe and well.
HELLO HELLO HELLO 👋🏼😃 Haven’t dropped by for a while....BUT... Seems you don’t even get the word CREEK outta ya mouth now before Smoky 🐕and Dolly🐕 are cutting a fit to go. 😂 Are ya starting your workshop now Richard ?
Man oh man packing them bags of concrete is hard work and expensive. Thinking of trying Fast2k on some inground posts. Heard they're less expensive, not heavy at all and completely seals the inground post.
Lots of meat on the dogs. You have many bears in the mountains there. Many times been driving before Biden through you mountains. What is the cost of living your style?
@@SmokyMountainOutpost You know. no vaccine no border crossing for me to USA. . "democracy" I don't know who is trustful leader in US. Weakness of republicans . They just waiving white flags. Scum style is very popular now and everywhere. Trudeau is even worse piece of s++t. God bless.
Great video as always. I’ve heard if you seal the bottom of buried posts then you effectively create a bowl for water to sit in and not be able to escape (speeding up rot time). I was curious if you’ve encountered that or subscribe to that idea as well?
your mathis solid on the pens for batter boards and you can double check using Pythagoras' theorem a theorem attributed to Pythagoras that the square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. it is a right angle triangle so a squared plus bsquared equal the third side or the hypotenuse which is normally called c squared ...if your measuring agrees math checks out then your definitely perfectly square but with crooked timbers that is the challenge right so that is your margin of error so the strings are the tie breaker ...It is how the old men built the pyramids lol
put some moth balls in the bottom of the holes as well mixed in with aggregate the bugs just hate that stuff so any minor thing will avoid the area by a foot or so ...any contact scratches in the tar caused by backfilling will be further protected...
The tar was thinned some by heating. Don’t want it to run. It turned out okay in the end. I explained on my other channel the variations that could be used just like you mentioned. It’s common to me but the kids said I should do more explaining, lol
Mine is doing well. Not only will the burn help (a good solid burn) like alligator skin keeps from rotting so soon but I also used roofing tar to coat the bottom and sides and wrapped roofing felt around the post. Post need to set on gravel bed about two or three inches deep for drainage. No need to felt bottom of post. And extend about six inches out of ground to protect from surface rot. So far mine is like the day installed. I used pine, but with that said everything I have built has been with poplar and pine. I’d say treated like that it doesn’t matter. I wouldn’t have a problem myself doing it.
Wonder if it would be feasible to build a fire chamber (barrels laid horiontally) with the fire underneath, and a metal grid for it to reach the lumber through (kinda like a bbq grill) that you could run the wood thru to get the char that you want. Seems like it would be easy to get the uniform look plus take less time and work.
Thank you for sharing this with us 😊. I'm getting ready to build a shed for my sister this summer and I haven't built anything bigger than a dog house. Lotsa love and hugs to you all 😊😊. And please tell Jennifer I miss her jokes ❤
Hey Jennifer your driving down the road and a older man and a kid is in the road car coming you have no other choice what one to you hit first ? Older Man Or Kid? The Brakes 🤣😂🤣🤣😂
We only burned the bottom half logs that were going in the ground. Not normally something we do very often to our boards/logs. It’s Heavy Alligator Skin!

Thanks for sharing that.
Nice start to your carport, Thanks
Thank you, Charles!
Amazing camp sir❤ have nice day all
Thank you!
Richard the Pyromaniac. 😂 Lots of burning and I love the final product.
🤣🤣 Thanks!
Very educational Richard! Still have snow up in Michigan............
Thank you! I am so jealous of the snow. We didn’t get one snow day down here this year for school. Ugh! -Jennifer
Richard I love the way you find a way to use crooked lumber
He has all sorts of things up his sleeve, lol!
Looking good that’s the way it’s done
Thanks, Ricky!
Great work. Grabdpa always said…. “When it is done right your great grand kids will admire it… cut corners and you’ll need to rebuild it at the worst possible time. “
I agree 110%. Happy Easter! -Jennifer

Thanks, Fred!
I just love those dogs
Thank you! They are rotten!
@@SmokyMountainOutpost They look fantastic and well loved. Thank you for your channel
Love the video! When you were applying the tar to the end of the posts, I could hear a Red Shouldered Hawk in the background.
We have a pair, male and female. That’s why chickens can’t free tange

Thank you!!!! You finally explained how you set your perimeters to make your foundation square. Buddy, you are a smart man. Little girl, thanks for getting your Dad to explain. Yee Haw!!
I told Dad I knew someone who would be so happy he finally explained that, lol! Glad you enjoyed it, Mark!

You will love the oil!

Thank you for the kind words.
Thank you Richard for sharing. I always wondered how to set a foundation square. I was never in the building trades. You explained it very well Sir.
Thank you, Don! It was an act of congress to get him to show how he does that. He had figured people weren’t interested in that kind of stuff. He was wrong! Hope you are doing well, my friend!
I love the carport plan
Thanks, Robert!

Good video and job. Will burning them and coatings with timber oil keep the bees out of the pine wood here they are eating it up. You really have done a nice job on every thing. Take care be safe and well.
No. Carpenter bees will continue to bore holes. But they have devices to trap those things. I’ve got one I need to get myself some more.
Yo veo sus videos desde que empezó y me admira su arduo trabajo, es usted un hombre admirable y muy trabajador lo felicito señor.🤠
Thank you so much for your kind words!
The inside of your cabin is beautiful
Thank you, John!
HELLO HELLO HELLO
👋🏼😃 Haven’t dropped by for a while....BUT... Seems you don’t even get the word CREEK outta ya mouth now before Smoky 🐕and Dolly🐕 are cutting a fit to go. 😂
Are ya starting your workshop now Richard ?
Yes we are. After tractor portion was finished we started a carport for the truck then back to the workshop
@@SmokyMountainOutpost Awesome 😁👍
Workshop (home for Big John) is up and the top is on. Working on the carport now. Hope you are well and thanks for stopping by. It sure is creek time!
Show!!!!
Man oh man packing them bags of concrete is hard work and expensive. Thinking of trying Fast2k on some inground posts. Heard they're less expensive, not heavy at all and completely seals the inground post.
I will have to ask dad if he has heard of that!
Buenos días amigos queridos 🌞 Dios los bendiga, me gusta mucho ver sus videos y cada día se ve más bonita su cabaña felicidades.👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you, Angelica!
👍👍👍👍
Thanks!
Them logs definitely look water proof 👍
You got that right, Jo Jo! Hope all is well your way! -Jennifer
Use any variation of the 3-4-5 equation (6‐8-10, 9-12-15, 12-16-20, etc to get a perfectly square foundation.
Lots of meat on the dogs. You have many bears in the mountains there. Many times been driving before Biden through you mountains. What is the cost of living your style?
Maybe when/if Trump is re-elected you can travel back thru! The cost of living dads style is minimal. Thanks for following!

I didn’t totally seal the bottom of the paper that I used didn’t quite come to the center and I didn’t seal it off with the tar either

Great great idea
🙏🙏👍👍
Thanks!
Would it heĺp to spread that hot tar with a stiff brush after applying it with the trowel? Also, could the tar be thinned with oiĺ before applying?
The tar was thinned some by heating. Don’t want it to run. It turned out okay in the end. I explained on my other channel the variations that could be used just like you mentioned. It’s common to me but the kids said I should do more explaining, lol
@@SmokyMountainOutpost Didn't check the other channel.
Don't think the tar would run after cooling if small amount of oil was added.
Pythagorean theorem works too... Or you can be really lazy like me and use a Laser Square... Anyway, still loving your video's.
Thank you, Andrew. Laser square or the way Dad does it all works the same, in the end you get the same result. I’d use a laser square, too! -Jennifer
Richard I have a surplus of poplar on my land and I live on a hill but there’s a lot of clay. Would you recommend this building method?

Some parts burn different than others. I do prefer that look to just plain lumber. It certainly makes the grain stand out.
3 4 5 gets you square

Thanks!
What kind of tar is that?
Roofing cement
Hey Jennifer your driving down the road and a older man and a kid is in the road car coming you have no other choice what one to you hit first ? Older Man Or Kid? The Brakes 🤣😂🤣🤣😂
LOL! I was giving that one a good thought until I read the last part! 🤣🤣
he barely got out two words - you guys, and them dogs were gone like greased lighting.
Those dogs are crazy! Lol
@@SmokyMountainOutpost luv it
two incredibly wonderful companions, I’d say. True Water Dogs too
There is NO purpose in burning those posts so badly!! Not needed
We only burned the bottom half logs that were going in the ground. Not normally something we do very often to our boards/logs. It’s Heavy Alligator Skin!
Might want to talk to the Japanese/Asians about that...
You're a hella worker not to mention a great craftmanship !! Take care god bless you and yours!!
Thank you, Tony!
💚🤍❤
Thanks!
