Just wanted to make sure to mention all of these people because they have helped so much along the way and we truly appreciate it. We may be building on our own, but we are definitely not on our own. Thank you, also, to other and family and friends who have encouraged and supported us and believed in our crazy dream!
And, YOU! Thank you so much to all of our subscribers, viewers and commenters. We truly appreciate your support, your insight, your encouragement and your excitement - thank you! We really do feel like we are growing a group of friends!
We hope you enjoy this video and ALL 8 bents going up! It is SO much bigger and better than we imagined- makes us SO excited to keep building and to keep sharing!
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.
Here's the video where we share our change in plans and decide to turn our barn into our home:
• EVERYTHING Had To CHANGE - We Are ABA...
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 BUILD A BARN?!...
***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 - Start To Finish...
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!

Great job. The bents are all up. No one got hurt. Good day. The learning curve came pretty fast. Thanks for bringing us along.

A year ago, next week, my brothers and I did the same thing on a ridge in southwestern Wyoming…5 old guys assembled and raised a 4 bent guest cabin…at 8,000 feet elevation in 5 days… and only one of us having ever done it before. Proud of you guys, everything looks spot on and it looked like it was for us…FUN! Let me know if you would like to see our version of this same kind of video. RLM

God’s blessings to y’all

Great family affair and video - Greg and Beth you are a lucky couple to have so many family members willing to help with your project! As always I am impressed and envious.

Just finished watching the last bent go up! Wow, does it ever look good, actually it looks amazing! All your hard work has paid off.
-
This was a GREAT day! We have been working hard milling and putting bents together to get to this very point. It's the start of our build. We are so very thankful for this crew helping us build our dream and thankful to all of YOU who have been here along the way! Welcome to our new viewers - we hope you all enjoy and thank you for watching! 😊

Thanks for sharing...nice work

That is amazing setting all the bents 😊. You had a fantastic crew.
-
I am genuinely happy for you. Seeing all your hard work and planning to this point come to a reality. Keep chugging and sharing your progress. Wish I was there with my HM130Max to help you.
-
Just like building the bents, seems like raising them got smoother with each one!
-
Very good job gentlemen. Really cool drone shot at the end with the crew. Check plumb, brace, brace, brace and admire your beautiful vertical timber....NO BARK. These types of days on the job are priceless, especially with the family. Congratulations, be well and stay safe.

Just found some time to watch this. The planning that went into this step in the process is apparent. Good job!! I’m proud of you and everyone who helped.

Very few people ever get the opportunity to build a home. It's takes a lot of planning, cash, being able to make major decisions, and commitment to make it work. The results for the effort make it worth the time and effort. Seeing this project makes we want to build a similar home. I love the timber framing. Once you start there is never turning back. Home like this will empty your bank account. I was down to my last $8,000 when my was done.
-
Great job. You should give yourself a pat on the back. You deserve it. Your grandchildren should be able to live in it.
-
Good job gentlemen and camera ladies 👍🏴
-
I’m having a garage built this fall and while I wait for materials to come in I can get my construction fix through this channel. You have an awesome view.
-
Looking awesome. Can’t wait for the next video
-
Love the panning out through the bents!
-
All I can say is...WOW!

That spreader bar worked well. You all made those lifts look easy. Great job!!!
