S4E21 I Am NOT Comfortable! Using Scaffolding to Install Purlins
ฝัง

- In this video, we borrow some scaffolding to make it easier for us to install the purlins. It is definitely easier to reach the heights, but I am really not enjoying myself up there at the top. We have to make a few adjustments along the way, including using a plumb bob to center the trusses, but we make some good progress.

Looking good boss. I understand the height fear, I never used to be scared of heights till I jumped from a plane, now I don't like being 5 feet off the ground 😂.
We have a 100x50 foot pole barn on our property.. But it was once actually a forestry service building in the 40s.. the owner of this land bought it in the 60s took it apart and moved it to this land and rebuilt it himself.. Interestingly enough. the 8x8 posts are not in the ground. They sit on top of 2x10s on top of concrete blocks in the ground. Not even anchored mind you which is ODD.. but its held through how many hurricanes and wind for 60+ years. The beams in the barn are all 4x6 or 6x6 for the roof.. yes 4x6 and 6x6 for the roof beams lol.. Its interesting how it was built. the 50 foot span uses a 4x6 50 foot beam, which you THINK would sag big time... but.. it has 2x10s bolted to the center of the beam and then a giant metal bar bolted through that going to the roof beams that are in a 3 dimentional triangle formation basically all line up like this /\ with that metal bar in the center of them.. So in essence the roof supports its own weight.. its a very ingenious design actually The more weight you put on it, the stronger it gets
The prior owner who rebuilt this in the 60s did an amazing job, he built 6 horse stalls, with a slab on 1/4 of the barn, the middle 1/2 is three double doors, for storage for cars or farm equipment. Dirt floor though, and the last 1/4 section is a single double door, with a 4 inch slab 10 120v outlets, and a 50A and 25A 240v outlets. Also is insulated "as best as youd do for 1960 with foam and tar mats behind the dry wall. It also has water in the stalls and the workshop coming directly from the house itself 300 feet away..... I also have a drain in the floor on both slabs, and a 15 foot work bench made out of 4x6 oak posts i assume were scrap. I also have a cinterblock lined with tile chimney for a wood stove in the shop. The shop also has 6 huge windows that flip up for ventilation if i want
So the building itself is 80 years old, or 60 if you count the rebuild. The tin roof leaks a little in spots, and needs some new sealent put on top. its leaking through the nails in the 2x4s and rotting them slowely.
Im very grateful for that man for building such an amazing, still standing, barn, with evgerything one would want... Water, power, slabs with drains, and yea.. most guys with workshops i noticed dont have water, and dont have 240v power either. And lack of windows in many modern shops/barns is depressing. The man is now buried at the cemetary next to this property. Its interesting looking at how modern pole barns are built versus mine... Mine uses gigantic solid oak beams even the 2x4s are oak.. ALL the wood is real sized.. 2x4 is a 2x4.. a 6x6 or 8x8 or 4x6 is true to size.. Versus the modern cheap barns using pine for everything "no offense" im just noticing how pole barns today are built like houses.. using tons of 2x4 pine boards nailed together like a spider web. Just shows you how well things were built 80 years ago versus today
Safety first.😀😃😂🙃🥰😇
Spend a few more bucks rental
Make it triple wide
