      I learned today, that each one of the nuts and bolts have a torque specification, to maintain a waterproof seal, is that true?

    • @RockhillfarmYT
      @RockhillfarmYT  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It’s definitely true, but with over 6000 bolts and you have to touch each one of them twice with two different people hanging off of ladders… I’m going with good enough is good enough.
      That’s just my personality and not some thing I would recommend

      Hey thank you for the response. Me and the wife are going to be building a 30’x30’ Q-hut.
      We think the bin block idea is brilliant.
      If you were to redo the bin blocks, instead of creating a cement form on top of the blocks would you have spaced the walls differently so you could have avoided that? And did you use any sealant between the blocks?

      I have a question... i have been looking into the same shop your building and i was wondering if you put 2 rib together on the ground it should save you from having to put the bolts in overhead and im thinking it would be stronger did you try that and if not what do you think of the idea ?

    I put one of those up 3 years ago along with my son-in-law and two daughters. I was 67 at the time. Didn’t have any tractors or lifts of any kind, just 15’ of scaffolding and ladders. We raised the first one as one unit and put the rest together a panel at a time. Took us two weekends to complete, including installing a 12’x14’ panel garage door and front & rear end closures. Fun!

    Good man, saving the bees, I have apple trees, and I wish I had those bees,
    we seldom see a bee anymore, or butterflies, or many birds in our rural area. I've only seen two hummingbirds, I use to have flocks 3 years ago.
    Dad was a great one to cut down trees, he would plant fruit trees and then decide they were in his way
    and cut them down, and I use to bawl every time he did.
    I just discovered quonset huts for mini houses on YT, and ran into your channel

    I found your channel after seeing the Quonset hut on a Oakie Woodsman video. I was impressed with the appearance of the Quonset hut on that video but after seeing how flexible it is during the constructions process now I'm not so impressed. I have built many dozens of sheds over the years but not a single Quonset hut so you'd have to take my advice with a grain of salt. In order to get the most built in a given amount of time I'd suggest that all the arches were prebuilt on the ground in 2 pieces so there is no "aerial" time involved early on. The next part really takes into account my extensive Quonset building experience. After the first 1 or 2 arches were up I would be assembling the half arches 1 at a time as they looked very easy to install and may have been possible with only 1 person. The scaffold should be placed 1 arch width clear of the bolted up section and should be high enough that it is possible to reach over the arch to do the bolts up. With prebuilt sections all on the ground ready I would guesstimate that with 4 people you should be able to knock over the assembly in a weekend.
    I don't have any Quonset hut building experience but I did assemble most of my own 60x30 steel framed shed entirely by myself. Other than the neighbours crane to lift the 2 prebuilt on the ground 30' x 10' walls the rest was done by hand. The shed is actually in the background in a few of my videos and is a bit of an odd design so that I could build it myself and I could have the 30' span with no trusses.

    The deadman sticks the folks in the middle are using will work better if you create a finger in the end. Just nail a 2-foot section of 2x4 on the end and you are more stable.
    I'm not sure what the reach of your tractor is but a simple cradle that supports in a curve shape will hook the arches up nicely as long as you grab in the center of the arch. Those arches are like limp noodles with human hands. you need a way to take the bulk of the lifting off in a stable way, hence the tractor cradle. The tractor cradle can be made from scrap plywood and 2x4 materials.

    From a guy that does this for a living, stop letting it flex while raising. You have a fair amount of flex in each arch but you need a min of 3 ppl and 1in the middle of each third section while raising to keep structure strength when you pull the arch up. Also 18ft trench footing plus a 12 Inch topper for arches to mount to makes a huge difference. A 12x16x32 block/form will make solid side walls that elevate side walls to a more solid structure

    @daviddunn1923 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    In my mind I am trying to figure out why it’s necessary to build a complete arch on the ground and struggle raising it in place. Instead, why not build one piece at a time, starting with the base and work your way up to the peak? Repeat from the other side. Then join them together in the middle with the peak section? A lift that can extend to the top would be required, of course.

    • @RockhillfarmYT
      @RockhillfarmYT  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      We did it both ways and this was my preference. That’s a lot of bolts up in the air and the arches are not all the same bow. They kind of have opposite angles pushing against each other on the arch
      Also, this method allowed people to be working on the ground in the air at the same time

    No rebar or bolting /joining/ on your blocks / caps ??? Not even keyways? A WOODEN CRADLE (NOT COMPLICATED boats have hulls via the single interior transverse frame repeated) like a curved box beam (YOU ON:LY NEEDED TO MAKE ONE) with a taller center RIDGE BOX BEAM and an anchor cable going down the sides from the RIDGE BOX BEAM would have been best for everything. BUT rather than a scaffold at center; made a ROMAN SEIGE TOWER A FOOT + TALLER THAN THE arch Think a hay lift on a barn it only sticks out maybe 6 feet above the barn opening. Since a seige tower rolls, it places the arch as it lifts it. Even an anchored 16' extension ladder could have been stabilized on the ground to pivot on a 1" plywood sheet (weighted wedged) & tilting up each ARCH UNIFORMLY with a pulley and an underside frame 8 ft wide. Should have had an Erector set for proof of concept beforehand. Everyone gets to profit by your building experience.

Yeah i know harsh but this guy has spent alot of money on equipment and cant spend $1000 to rent a lift for a week. Thst small building could have been assembled in 3 days top.

      I honestly couldn’t afford to put the building up and I sure as heck couldn’t afford to put concrete floors in it
      Did you ever think maybe I can afford the machines because I don’t waste money on scissor lift rentals and concrete pads for a big shed?
      I literally called the Quonset Hut company and asked them what my options were for canceling the order because I didn’t have the funds to finish it. I had put 20% down on the building nine months earlier and had no way to get my deposit back if I canceled.
      Now, two years later, I’m really glad to have the building and everything worked out perfectly.

      Are there really people who hire a professional to do everything that they need done
      Sometimes just using whatever you have is the best thing especially when I’ve already invested a ton of money in equipment

    Good stuff! Just the right length!! Love it when people are not afraid to throw in what it cost for things! You probably dont want to ..but it would be interesting to see what enclosing that thing would take!! Does it act like a wind tunnel for you when your in it?

    • @RockhillfarmYT

      I purchased the end walls with the building. Seems like they were maybe $2000 and already included in the price I gave in the video. The doors were an extra $5000 so I did not buy the doors.
      I’m going to make some myself most likely.
      It’s just not high on my priority list right now because the building is functional.
      It is basically a wind tunnel but I haven’t noticed it to be excessive

    Bruh!!. This was so hard to watch 😂. I know you were flattening out every peak panel. You definitely did it the hard way. When you saw how flimsy a full arch was, why didn’t you split the arches?

    Wish we could get these in Australia. We make good steel so it's just a demand situation (and low population) as to why we don't have them
    This design is so cost effective with many advantages and few disadvantages
    Collecting any water (being a dry country) would be essential for us and i'm certain a water collection channel at the base would easily achieve that

      As a steward of the land, I have a responsibility to call the hollow trees to make room for new healthy growth. I also do a lot of Sawmill work and that Wood doesn’t go to waste.
      People, I know use paper products and live in wooden houses so they have an understanding for harvesting trees.
      Trees are a crop if you don’t harvest them then you have wasted them.
      This specific tree wasn’t harvested because I needed lumber. It was harvested because it was in the way of where I was putting my building.
      I bet that where you live and where you work are both places that Trees used to be. With all this building we’ve done there are more trees in the US now then there were 100 years ago.

    Could you nest a partial completed arch under a full one to make a double thick lifting base? I will in a few years atempt one too.

    A box tubing boom on the tractor with a spreader bar would pick and place the arches very easly and safely. probably a counter weight on the 3-point hitch would help.

    • @RockhillfarmYT
      @RockhillfarmYT  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Lifting them is not the problem. They aren’t that heavy. However, they are flimsy. If you lift them from the center they break
      Putting the bolts in was a much bigger hassle than raising the arches
