- pouring concrete in post holes. Getting the tops of the posts notched and ready for setting trusses on my pole barn house. This is the next step in building my pole barn home as we keep moving along.
Well good luck with your projects. Let me know if you have any questions.
amzn.to/2txjDFe here you can find the CST Berger laser transit. If you need a good transit. Awesome setup and very accurate!

Really enjoying these videos, the wife and I are wanting to build a pole barn as well. These sure are helping with the desire to grow! Keep up the good work!
Awesome thanks I appreciate that!! I still got a lot more footage to go through and piece together as I get time. I’m glad you’re enjoying them. Keep in touch let me know how your progress goes. It’s fun to dream. 👍👊
these videos are exactly what I needed! Thank you - you are awesome!
Awesome thanks I’m so glad!! 😊
About 18’ at the peak with the 4/12 pitch
Nice video!!!!
Thanks! 👍👊
Great idea with the story-stick and only fixing it with one screw! :-)
Thank you it worked great for me doing it by myself that way!
It would've saved you a bunch of time if you would've used a stringline from corner to corner to mark your notch. If you have a level point to go off of, no point in going to each one individually with a story pole, you can just go to each one and mark the stringline. But you had all good ideas, great video! I hope this project turned out well for you!
Thanks. The one reason I didn’t do a string line is I thought it may sag a tiny bit over a 64 foot stretch even if it’s zinging tight so I didn’t want to take any chances. It did out well though. Thanks
Great work, did you buy the poles or made them yourself? I noticed that the posts are made of treated and non-treated wood of different lengths. Thanks,
Thank you! Yes I bought them that way. They are laminated together from the factory like that with different lengths to make them stronger. Mine were made by a company called triad. I think different companies make them. Thanks
What is the name of those poles? Awesome job btw.
Danial Boone would see this with puzzlement and curiosity. I was always interested and they are made well; why didn't you choose this route. The log cabin route? When I was young I wanted a log built home, researched it at the time and the only way was to build it yourself; maybe other options but to costly. I wish I had the time at that time; I would have. I did check out the sample homes at the time 1980's unbelievable without a doubt. I Imagine even today; even if you do it yourself; no in the end it a better deal outcome. Your thoughts..
Yeah it would’ve been cool to do. I actually did 2 with my dad a long time ago. For the stage of life where we are as material availability in our area it wouldn’t have been so easy to do. We also wanted to do this with steel siding for low maintenance. I’d love to have a small log cabin someday though too.
Do you know the snow load this building is capable of/rated for? Did you get engineering/architectural drawings and analysis done on this structure? Im very interested in building in this style here in NH and my municipality requires 80 lb/ft snow load. In montana I'd assume you see as much or more snow so I supposed your structure is beating that snow load. But my building inspector is skeptical of structures that aren't built in the "traditional" or conventional styles local to us.
Yes I believe mine is rated for 80 pound foot snow load. Although I get more snow than some elevations the snow here is a lot lighter than your snow too. They did it based on my geographic location. You would probably have to get some thing done for your specific area that would make your inspector happy.
2 by lumber doesn’t have consistent width. I have 2x8 that vary from 7 1/2” to 7 1/4”. What do you do to adjust?
I’d probably split the difference and go 7-3/8”.
Nice video what video shop do you use??
Thanks. I wish I had a better camera that had video stabilization while I was doing the project it would make it easier to work with, but now I’m just putting the footage together the best I can. I use iMovie so far.
Ok
Did that answer your question ok?
Yup
Great! What does Nate gate do?
Would it make sense to use post protectors into the concrete??
Yes you certainly could. There’s different methods to do it nowadays. The options I saw weren’t available in my area when I did this but I would probably do the wet set bracket method nowadays.
@@SmartEasyDIYer alright , I sent a message on instagram with some further questions for you. Absolutely awesome project, and execution!
Thank you! I’ll check your messages.
You may have covered this previously, but why are you post laminated rather that just pressure treat post?
Where I live you can’t get regular pressure treated posts that are dimensional they are a full 6“ x 6“ so I decided to get these because they are 5 1/2 on the one dimension so they would be the same as my stud wall.
@@SmartEasyDIYer oh, ok. thanks we are about to build one in southern ohio
You’re welcome! Good luck with your build!
why did you set the posts in concrete, are you not worried that they will rot in (a long) time? Would you not pour the concrete and then connect the pole to the concrete with a metal connector?
I probably would do that next time. They weren’t readily available in my area when I did this. I think it varies by location what people do but here typically they always do concrete because of how the ground is.
@@SmartEasyDIYer thanks for taking the time to reply.
You’re welcome. Good luck with whatever you decide to do
What kinda ladder is that,?
It’s a werner.
@@SmartEasyDIYer thanks. I enjoyed your build. Very useful, thank you. Im looking to do a 30x30x10 garage. Who supplied yours? Kinda seemed like a Hansen pole barn kit.
You’re welcome. It’s pretty handy cuz you can use it for a step ladder or a extension type ladder. It’s kinda heavy and awkward to extend it out but it works. My building is 36 x 64 x 10. I actually put the materials together myself and got them form several different local places. The truss place had the posts and trusses the lumber came from a local lumberyard that carries a better grade of lumber and the steel roofing came from a local place too.
@@SmartEasyDIYer awesome! I can only imagine the overall cost.....my building is looking like a $15,000......
Is that just to frame it up put the roof and siding on and pour the concrete floor?
