- Our last video was SO exciting! Putting up all 8 bents for our barndominium in one day was amazing!
Now, comes the part that's maybe not as exciting, but necessary and a part of the process. Securing the structure. In this video, Greg secures the bolts and adds the 2x10 header under the rafter beam. Tedious work by yourself - thank goodness for the lift! We also get a load of cedar logs, which is always exciting and Greg shares our next steps for the build.
We are milling our barndominium - barn house out of wood that we are milling on our own sawmill. If you haven't followed along with our BARN Build, (which is now our barn house build) make sure to check out that series in our playlists. We finished the first slab last summer, we milled most of the timbers needed over this past winter/spring, added plumbing, put in a second slab for our garage and now we have started building our barndominium - barnhouse - lodge - our home, with 8 bents going up being the latest excitement! Now, we are working on securing the bents and adding to the structure.
Here's the video where all 8 bents are put up in one day- it was pretty amazing:
• It's FINALLY Time To B...
Here's the video where we share our change in plans and decide to turn our barn into our home:
• EVERYTHING Had To CHAN...
Here is the video where we share our barn plans. Our plans are from @BarnGeek . We are excited to build one of his beautiful barns and turn it into our home:
• Why Do We Think WE CAN...
***We are also so excited to have completed our sawmill cover enclosure (sawmill shed). Definitely check out our Sawmill Playlist to watch it all happen. We have shared the process of building our sawmill cover from the very beginning. We have a Woodland Mills HM130 Max sawmill and we live in North Idaho. The sawmill cover / sawmill shed is vital to continue milling for our barn build in the winter months, but it will also be a great way to keep out of the sun during the summer months, and of course all of the rain, in between!
Here is a link to the video that shares the sawmill cover / sawmill shed build from start to finish:
• Sawmill Cover Build - ...
Here are the specs on the sawmill cover / sawmill shed we built:
3 posts in the front
4 posts in the back
Overall dimensions are 15 feet wide by 36 feet long
Longest beam is 28 feet
Front part of the lean to roof is 11'9" and back is 8'
It will have a 3 :12 pitch
Posts and beams are going to be 7 1/2" x 7 1/2"
We have shared the entire build!

What Are Our Next Steps? First - Securing The Bents For Barndominium While Working Solo On The Lift
July 2024
Some tasks aren’t as rewarding as others, but they’re all a piece of the puzzle. Looking forward to see it all come together 😊
For sure! 😁
Cool to see the bents in the background when the truck pulls up! 🤩
Right?! It makes it so much easier to picture our home! 😊
Lift seems super handy! Seems like you’ve gotten your sea legs 😊
Hi, Deana- I think I have - Beth on the other hand, not so much! 🤣
this YT channel is entertaining, factual, humorous and just plain nice.
Awwww, thank you. We appreciate that! 😊
Great purchase on that Cedar.
Thank you- we think so, too! Excited to mill it! 😁
Making good progress. Try to get it as solid as you can as quick as you can. You never know when something bad might happen.
Thanks for bringing us along.
Hi, Mike- Wish I didn’t have to work at my “job” - things would be happening faster. Adding more every day!
Although I must say, my job does give me a break from the heat! 😂 🥵
@@ourdreaminthewoods The other thing about a "job" is the paycheck!! Makes other things possible, but it sure cuts into the time for the other things. A good part of the time I worked 7 on 7 off. That left a lot of time for the projects. Sometimes it was nice to go back to work though.
@@mikewatson4644 Very true! Thankfully, I do usually have 2-3 days off at a time. So, at least it's bunched together. I really enjoyed when I worked that schedule, too! Definitely thankful to have a good job that also allows me to tackle this project! As always, thank you for your insight, Mike! 😊
You said that you didn’t think that it was an interesting video but I still enjoyed watching it.
And as for the heat and humidity I totally understand. I’m retired now and am cleaning up my tree plantation. Having to work a little bit at a time in the heat and then call it quits for the day. But for the both of us it’s called progress. Enjoy the journey.
Thank you, Tom- I’m taking lots of breaks, water and just moving a little slower than normal. Also been taking a siesta in the afternoon and coming back out when there is some shade.
Tree plantation? - what kind of trees do you have? 😁
@@ourdreaminthewoods red and white oak and black walnut.
It’s just a small plantation 2 1/2 acres in the city limits.
@@ourdreaminthewoods and half as many white pines. That are now coming down and being sawn up on my HM 126 to make buildings out of.
@@tombooks1410 Sounds nice! 😊
@@tombooks1410 Are you milling them for yourself or others?
I wouldn't cut those roof rafters either, I like the way they look to. Hey everyone, I share all these videos on Facebook.
Hi, Jeff- I like the square cut and it seems like it makes more sense with water dripping off them. What’s your Facebook user name- I’ll look you up. 😊
And, thank you for sharing!!! 😁
Good day's work. Congrats.
Thank you, Jake! 😁
It's nice to see the logs used. So often in my area they slash and burn taking down every thing and using nothing claiming it costs too much to reuse the logs. I appreciate when people are good earth citizens.
Thank you, Katie- we try as much as we can. Whether it’s for another project or for firewood, we want to use it. It’s also really nice when it can help someone else out. 😊
Thanks for sharing
Of course! Thanks for watching! 😁
Howdy Gregg- there’s always a lot of pick up work to do on a project like this. It’s gotta be done. That buggy is really handy for what you’re doing. Take care and be safe. God bless
Hi, Paul- thank you! The buggy is working out really well. It’s 8 feet wide and the bents are 9’6” wide. I can reach both sides- no problem. 😁
Securing the bents aren't as exciting as putting them up, but it's a necessary part of building and it's all a part of the process to building our barndominium. We hope you enjoy this video - we'd love to hear your thoughts! 😁
22:01 that's why they call it a hammer drill😁....exciting times
Hi, Butch- It’s a multi tool! 😂😂😂
Install more longitudinal diagonals and string line your ridge and floor beams, both sides. Plummet down from the top of each bent leg. GIT R STRAIT AND TRUE and keep her there. The SIPS will anchor everything once installed and fully secured. Outstanding efforts and perseverance, sir. Be well and stay safe.
Hi, Todd- thank you! I’ve been working on it.
My actual job is getting in the way 🤣, but getting more added every day.
I added more bracing to the top of the rafters- they weren’t as true as the rest of the structure. Out a half inch but I was working by myself so I just secured them in place. Thank you for your insight and support- we really do appreciate it. 😊
@ourdreaminthewoods Greg, I don't like to criticize anyone. My apologies. Starting everything as straight and plumb as practical will definitely pay dividends later. Yes sir, work is work and takes priority. Keep yourself healthy, rested, nutrition etc etc. The tortoise and the hare. Guess who wins!! You and the family and team are wonderful examples of how folks should live their lives. One bite, one challenge at a time. And...you will fulfill your DREAM! REALLY GOOD STUFF 👍
This is a very big project. Wondering what your background is for construction, and what skills are need to build?
Hi- This is a huge project for us. I have very little construction experience. I enjoy woodworking and have built a shed and a small shop over the years. Do your research- as best you can and reach out to people that know about such things. It really is a “ if I can do it pretty much anyone can do it” 😁
do what do to make feel good and start with 2nd floor Joyce and get them to stabiles the build and then you start other stuff
Hi, Wade- Doing just that- out there today working on the floor joists. 😊
I think I missed it, did you check the elevation on each post location? and cut each post accordingly?
Hi, Michael- Yes, we hit them with the transit level and cut accordingly.
Thanks for asking- I for sure need some extra reminding. 😁
Nice work! As a builder, I am surprised at the lack of simple temporary diagonal or X bracing: think of knocking over dominos.
Hi, Charlie- Being a novice, I rely on the people around me to make some of those decisions. I would have put up more bracing but I tend to overdo things.
Meanwhile, I’ve been focused on putting more components to the structure of firm it up.
Last thing I want is the domino effect!! 😬
🤩🤩🤩🤩💗💗💗💗
Thank you!!! 😊
🇳🇴👍👍👌
Thank you! 😊
Too much talk, 80%. Not enugh action. Show us some construction, not your self. The building is great!
We love the building too, thanks! 😊
How about you get a life and stop complaining about other people hard work
@@brandonalexander1259 How much is he paying you
Damn Karen ,take same exlax
Yep, to too much yakie yak.😮
I’m curious- what would you be more interested in- Timelapse or working live?
Thanks for sharing
Of course- thank you for watching! 😁
The bents look more secure with the 2"x10" installed but I look forward to seeing additional timber/boards installed to further strengthen the entire structure.
Hi, Terry- thank you! Working on floor joists today. 😊
