glad you didnt completely mangle yourself... nasty ass fall. Amazing work, such an inspiration. Literally a pick yourself and dust yourself off build. Thank you for sharing.
I have seen many things in my 51 years. You are a perfect example of human excellence. I am impressed on so many levels. "Great job!", does not say enough. You are an inspiration to us all.
As a builder for over 30 years, this is still inspirational. I cringed when you stepped off of the scaffolding. Knew that was going to hurt. Glad you pressed on and was able to get it dried-in 👍🏼
As someone who just spent last summer learning how to build these this build is spectacular and an extended video with commentary would be amazingly useful for me. Can’t wait to see what it looks like at the end of next year.
@@ArkopiaTH-cam yes indeed , my thoughts as well , You looked into the Camera , and continued with the Shelve , then , You just made a Move into , One step in front , at the Office , Whowww , Happy to see you made it ,
Lazy your not !! My helper stepped backward off a 24' aluminum plank on ladder jacks ( siding house) luckily it was only at 6' height at the time I heard the thud as he hit ground with tool belt, I came around the corner and he was lying there looking up ??? I said what the hell , he said I STEPPED BACK TO ADMIRE MY WORK forgetting where I was. He was fine.... GREAT JOB>!!!
Nice to see a good father that will have a son that will always love him. My father would have told me to get out of the way and clean up his trash at the end of the day.
😮 I did that, walked right out in to the air and off of the scaffolding. Did a face plant on the concrete. Was in the ER for three days. Lots of broken bones. As soon as I saw you fall, instantly got flashbacks. I’m glad you weren’t hurt anymore than you were.
Great build. Shows clearly how to get it done and more. Nice work. Please add all the commentary you can fit to this, folks everywhere will benefit immensely.
Holy smokes, man! That fall could have been so much worse. Glad you're okay. The build is awesome! You were cruising along, all right. Good reminder to the rest of us to slow down and pay attention. Thanks for sharing.
That lift you made for the metal roofing was a stroke of genius. I wish you had had more detail on how you stood up and installed the truss rafters by yourself. I have built a number of smaller buildings by myself but I have always asked a friend for help when it was time to put the rafters up. I would be interested to see this video with commentary.
Great job! Pillar I’ve been a builder for 45 years and I still love watching others tackle projects like this and come up with great ideas to number one save money to and number two save a ton of time. And labor! I like all your little jigs for the bobcat too! I’ll definitely be checking out more from you. Thanks for posting this.
Bonus points for dragging that nail gun airline along with you... Ramset, Paslode, Milwaukee, DeWalt and the other patron saints of construction say "Take the time to erect the guardrail on your work platforms...", Spend some of the revenue from this interesting clip on a cordless nailgun... you've earned it... look after those wrists... I know how injuries can slow a person down when they're self reliant and practical, but we still get stuff done... just more creative thinking and a slower pace. Really like the use of repurposed materials on a big scale like this...
Wow! You never cease to amaze! Thank you for sharing your build experience with your internet family. 😀 You got lucky with that fall, glad it wasn’t more serious.
OK, not to make you a butt of any jokes, but my nurse wife was commenting on how safe you were working and piped in at least 4 times about it. Upon her 5th ..and last compliment...you stepped off. I have been building for 38 years and I am also an engineer and developer. I am also over 60 and have about 75 pounds on you and I am consistently be derided onmy safety techniques on ANY job I am doing she is witness to. Needless to say, as the 5th compliment on your safe practices was rolling off her lips, I was already contemplating how much the divorce settlement was gonna cost me. But then you stepped off' You did it, filmed it and left it after editing. Thanks for redeeming me, and preserving a marriage...I will now subscribe, and this video will forever be in my bookmark archive for the next time I get on the roof to repair or clean or replace something. We had a great laugh at your expense as well...sorry...but not really! Do hope you're feeling better and paying a little closer attention in the future. Good design build by the way and great use of the spare lumber for your wood lams. Even experienced guys will buy wood lams or solid beams rather than make them.
I have been bored by most You Tube videos lately. I can’t always find ingenuity and talent and I just move along. I was fascinated by this entire build. Your use of the skid steer - outstanding! Most would have used a tele-handler for this kind of work but you made that little Bobcat adequate for the job. And what a time saver to have your lumber cut before the build. Wow! Loved every minute of it!
A squirrel in any life would jump and land on its feet from 6’ up with a nut in its mouth and not a scratch on its body. Too bad that didn’t forward. Love the build. Can relate to a lot of what you do, though not nearly as much and I do get my daughter or wife to help at times. Glad you healed.
hello. Respect for your courage working alone. Years ago I worked as a FEMA inspector after Hurricane Andrew in Florida. 20,000 buildings lost their roofs. The roofs joists and trusses were connected with plates and small fasteners similar to your project. The plates failed to hold during the vibrations caused by strong winds. Climates are changing as I now see strong winds in Northern Michigan. I recommend going back and using more bolts through wood connections to tighten thing up. Plates are on my disrespected list.
Wowza! (you had the best helper on the planet) Simply amazing. Can you post your commentary video? We are just getting started and would love to hear how/why you did some things you did.
When I was a builder, pole barns now and than, mostly houses, I'd set ONLY the 4 corners first. The next day, concrete set up, I could then pull a dry line off of those corner posts, and set all the other posts to that line. But, putting a spacer under the dry line is good practice, then measuring the space to get it dead nuts, once the line touches the post you loose half of what a dry line is telling you..., as in, is the post 1" out, or 1/8" out, once it touches you don't know, I'd use a scrap of 2x4, and then measure a 1.5" gap between the post and string, basic carpentry. Using a 4' level on each tall post can lead to error, the string never lies, a level on a curved post can. Like framing a house, you don't use a level on every wall section you stand up, you plumb the corners dead nuts, and pull a dry line, it's quicker and much more accurate.
Not your first rodeo, obviously. I (daily) observed a pole building construct years ago. The builders had a steel box (5.5 in x 5.5 in) with a boat trailer wench welded atop each, that were placed atop the 6''X 6'' poles. (perimeter layout only). They set the clear span trusses beside each post lay-out, fastened on the girt boards and slowly winched the entire assembly up and along side each post. They scabbed on a short 2''x 6'' under the bottom cord, then sawed off the top of the post flush with the top cord of the truss. I was building 'full-time' back then, and considered their 'style' as pretty slick. Another pole building inspection I observed, a laminated of redwood 2'' x 6'' staggered on top served as the in-ground post bases. They were placed in concrete and were only about 36'' above grade. Once cured a matching and opposite laminate of white wood was nailed up on top, to serve as the post/wall/roof supports. Again, I considered it an interesting build using a small crew with minimal machine support. Thanks for posting this video. You are tough and smart.
Hey, it says one man. I saw one little man helping out. Lol. For real, though, great job, man. I used to build these and couldn't imagine doing it by myself.
I have to say, I am a little bit in awe of your work. I can never get a tarp to last 4 months, how can you make yours last through a Saskabush winter ? and oh yeah more vote for extended version please.
Awesome build! Another who's been building for over 50 years now and appreciating all of your little shortcuts making work smart and smooth for your self. Although you did invoke the F word when you took the fast way down. What a surprise that was. The length's some take for a thumbs up. . . Glad your OK. Thanks for a great video, looking forward to the one with commentary. Best regards from California.
Looks good , Dean . You'll be happy when you get animals in it on weeks like this. I started kidding this week and am sure happy that i have all my animals inside.
I'm glad your ok. It could have been worse. I noticed that all of the scaffolding has 3 boards across except the one you fell off that only has 2 boards across. oh well. Stay safe.
The measure of a man is not determined by his fall but what he does when he gets back up. You built a wooden barn but showed your metal. Great work on a beautiful barn.
Yes, I would absolutely appreciate a commentary version. Having never built a structure like that, I have some things I wonder about. Also, how did you locate so many components to build with? That is a fortune in lumber these days. The trusses are an especially awesome catch. Your excellent equipment helped immensely.
I guarantee everyone said, when you fell, OH FU&K. Dude so glad you didn't get it worst. I know it's not something you would do on a Saturday night but glad your good. Keep up the good work with your kid also.
I built my 20x24 pole building back in 1999 by myself and put osb on the roof and shingles and osb on the sides and siding still standing today use it every day took me 2 weeks
Thank you for showing everyone that accidents happen, when you slow down that does not define age, It defines wisdom and good discernment. Really like that I'm not the only one that taking on a project or two seeming to large, awesome job sir.
Seeing you fall of the scaffolding brought back memories of when I fell off a ladder while working on a pergola roof over my deck. Luckily, I fell on the deck and not the open floor joists or gravel like in your case. I only scraped up my forearm a little, no other injuries except my pride.
That was great, ive never seen concrete into the holes to get above the water table, good idea! Thanks for the interesting content, im planning a greenhouse build in SK ,so im glad i found your channel
I am glad to see others that build entirely with salvaged materials. Its a breath of fresh air to what is normally seen and, frankly, a hack that very few ever pursue. I've both overhauled and built new barns, equipment, and furniture this way. With the market for reclaimed wood/metal I've made a side business dismantling and salvaging old barns and buildings for materials to both use and sell to make income from. Props on the drive and skill from a southern brother. I'm impressed with everything I've seen so far on this channel.
Pretty much can’t afford new material for homesteading stuff. Just not worth it. And nothing wrong with good refurbished material. Funny thing is, nobody seems to want it so the pickings are good. 👍
@@ArkopiaTH-cam Exactly. Its even better if you offer a flat price for an entire building and can get all the materials for even cheaper. It just takes work to get it, of which most have no desire to put forth these days.
Am very interested in the video with commentary! Just finishing the shell on my 40x40 post frame house - with passive solar windows and plans for super insulation! Mainly working by myself or with the Bobcat as well!
Yes sir! Job well done. I have had to build things on my own for many years… you figure it out. Help is hard to find and even though you help others when they need help, but when you need it….crickets! After 25 years of building and special projects with no incidents, broken bones, I fell just like you did building pole barn in the desert. After a 2 hour nap where I landed decided to take a two rest and a visit to the hospital 1.5 hours away. Full scan, no broken bones or fractures but my ribs were bruised and hurt like a some-bleach. Doctor confirmed I am hard headed so now there’s proof! 😂 Get it done right the first time, the second time cost! It is not how and when we fall, it’s how we get back up and move forward. Stay alert! Stay alive! Stay strong! Peace ✌️
Yes Dean please add commentary & the mass multiple build idea or concept of structural works. Either you thought up or from jobs you've gained knowledge from, l would suggest a sliding airvemt system so you can modulate the outward flow of heat retention sir. Using a simple rope pulley slider system & lightweight guides in roof apex. One end closes or near as dammit & other pulls fully open.
Great shop build video !!! All by yourself to boot 👌 cant complain with that price either 😂 … try not to land on your face again!!! Many others have died or ended up paralyzed from the beck down! I hope your this opened your eyes to the thought of investing in a harness. Oh you can also ask your local hardware store for those covers they typically throw away. Get em free. Im sure youve seen a semi truck going down the road with a load of lumber and the bundles of 2x4s are nicely covered with those tarps from the mills. They are great for many homesteading projects 👌plz put the commentary video up
Honestly, sourcing that much discounted but functional material is impressive in and of itself.
No kidding. If I managed to get that amount of supplies discounted it would be 14 different colors and or materials
This guy is awesome. Who needs celebrities when you’ve got people like him in the world!
He is a celebrity nice job 😊
Thanks a lot for making the rest of us feel totally inadequate. Overachiever.
This would be the video I wish I could have watched when I had to learn pole buildings the hard and slow way. Hope it helps. ✌️
Lol! Right?!?!
Bwahaha😂
He had help! I saw the furry supervisor & the little man in the pajama bottoms!😂
@@ArkopiaTH-cam ... Appreciate your taking the trouble to make the vid. Awesome work.
There's nothing like a capable man, his tools, and solitude. We are cut from the same cloth. Well done Brother.
And I sure do respect the man that can Embrace that he's not perfect and we all make mistakes. No shame brother
glad you didnt completely mangle yourself... nasty ass fall. Amazing work, such an inspiration. Literally a pick yourself and dust yourself off build. Thank you for sharing.
I have seen many things in my 51 years. You are a perfect example of human excellence.
I am impressed on so many levels.
"Great job!", does not say enough.
You are an inspiration to us all.
Wow. Appreciate those kind words. 🙏💪✌️
As a builder for over 30 years, this is still inspirational. I cringed when you stepped off of the scaffolding. Knew that was going to hurt. Glad you pressed on and was able to get it dried-in 👍🏼
Yeah but did you catch the way he was using the dry line??
I work alone 90% of the time. The little tricks to act as a 3rd hand takes a creative mind!
As someone who just spent last summer learning how to build these this build is spectacular and an extended video with commentary would be amazingly useful for me. Can’t wait to see what it looks like at the end of next year.
I'm glad you're okay, but I feel like you wouldn't have fallen at all if you weren't missing that section of the scaffolding deck! ✊😅
Great video great to see what our brothers up north are doing I'm down in Colorado thank you thank you next time you got to wear a hard hat LOL😊😊😊
Youve taken DIY to a whole new level man! I look forward to the bunker build!!!
Jess says can’t start any more projects until I finish everything else. 🤪 Thanks man.
@@ArkopiaTH-cam As if that'll ever happen (if you are like me)! I enjoyed your video. Except the fall, that sucked. Nice build.
That nail hack on the rafters was genius 👍👍👍
Yes please to an episode with full commentary. Amazing work!
Will do. 👍
@@ArkopiaTH-camSecond that! I have property in the Midwest USA and I need this exact barn AND this exact budget haha!
From someone who has taken a fall off a ladder... you're a bigger man than me because you got back up there. Incredible build.
You said built yourself, clearly you had a dog and a kid helping 😊
you have done it again 15 days by yourself and still had time to document it. You are definitely the goat 💪🏽
🙏 Drone the end of each day, and just hauling the camera around. I was checking on the damn camera when I fell. Distractions are no good. 👍✌️
@@ArkopiaTH-cam yes indeed , my thoughts as well , You looked into the Camera , and continued with the Shelve ,
then , You just made a Move into , One step in front , at the Office , Whowww , Happy to see you made it ,

48x48 at a cost of 8K, dude you were a squirrel in a previous life, well done man well done
Glad you're alright after your injury. Awesome build Sir.
My heart dropped when you stepped off the scaffold. My father fell from not much higher and broke both his legs. Turned out great!
Pro moves with the scaffolding and top notch skid steer driving. I've built MANY pole barns... and we always futzed around w/ ladders.
Brother Im Glad your Ok and I have just subscribed to your channel for not editing that! Don't Stop Get It Get It!
Genius way to build, I’ve built for over 35 years and learned some tricks from you thx
Thank you for your videos, I think you should dub these explaining what you're doing and why.
I yeld when you came off the scaffolding. My wife came running bro. I have been there. Good job bus. Wish you all the best.
Yes Video with commentary please!

Congrats on thinking out of the box and coming up with a fantastic, non budget busting barn!
Great job. Glad that fall wasn’t worse!
YES, please make the video to explain! THANK YOU
yes Dean, very interested to hear your commentary, thank goodness you are okay, take good care, you are priceless!
Yes, please add commentary!
Outstanding work, sir! I'd love to see a video of this build with your commentaries. Many thanks for the upload!

Really looking forward to having it operational. That wall of triple pane south windows will make it toasty. 👍✌️
I did the same thing, fell off a 8 ft roof onto a pile of landscaping blocks, broke three vertebrae, got very lucky. Nice job on build.
Ouch
I’d love to see a video with your commentary!!
You are an absolute LEGEND !!
The fall never hurts. The sudden stop will hurt more often than not. Been there done that like the video glad to see your still at it
I'm glad your ok. It could have been worse. I noticed that all of the scaffolding has 3 boards across except the one you fell off that only has 2 boards across. oh well. Stay safe.
Hated seeing the fall. Glad you weren't too badly hurt.
You make that look easy! Great job and I'm really glad you are okay now that hurt me just watching you fall😢
The measure of a man is not determined by his fall but what he does when he gets back up. You built a wooden barn but showed your metal. Great work on a beautiful barn.
that skidsteer boom lift thing. now that's the secrect sauce. having the right tools makes all the difference.
I would appreaciate the commentary! Thank you and good luck healing!
What to say, you’ve a skill set that is quite impressive. The accuracy you had maneuvering this lifter and positioning these beams was incredible
Super fun video. Shocked when you got hurt, but loved watching you recover.
Yes, I would absolutely appreciate a commentary version. Having never built a structure like that, I have some things I wonder about.
Also, how did you locate so many components to build with? That is a fortune in lumber these days. The trusses are an especially awesome catch.

Such an amazing individual. Glad your injuries weren't worse.
Yes sir! Job well done. I have had to build things on my own for many years… you figure it out. Help is hard to find and even though you help others when they need help, but when you need it….crickets! After 25 years of building and special projects with no incidents, broken bones, I fell just like you did building pole barn in the desert. After a 2 hour nap where I landed decided to take a two rest and a visit to the hospital 1.5 hours away. Full scan, no broken bones or fractures but my ribs were bruised and hurt like a some-bleach. Doctor confirmed I am hard headed so now there’s proof! 😂
Get it done right the first time, the second time cost!
It is not how and when we fall, it’s how we get back up and move forward.
Stay alert! Stay alive! Stay strong! Peace ✌️
Love the banjo and the barn ! Absolutely marvellous build with your son’s expertise on the level :)
Glad the fall wasn’t worse - ouch :(
Yes Dean please add commentary & the mass multiple build idea or concept of structural works. Either you thought up or from jobs you've gained knowledge from, l would suggest a sliding airvemt system so you can modulate the outward flow of heat retention sir. Using a simple rope pulley slider system & lightweight guides in roof apex. One end closes or near as dammit & other pulls fully open.
A version with your commentary would be great, I’m seeing lots of tricks in that video I’d like to fully understand!
Small fracture; 😅. That did look painful. I would watch the play by play on this. I for sure want to build something like this.
Great shop build video !!! All by yourself to boot 👌 cant complain with that price either 😂
… try not to land on your face again!!! Many others have died or ended up paralyzed from the beck down! I hope your this opened your eyes to the thought of investing in a harness. Oh you can also ask your local hardware store for those covers they typically throw away. Get em free. Im sure youve seen a semi truck going down the road with a load of lumber and the bundles of 2x4s are nicely covered with those tarps from the mills. They are great for many homesteading projects 👌plz put the commentary video up
