Can We Work Through the REGRET?

The heat here in Oklahoma is dangerous. I went to Rocklahoma last summer and it almost killed me. I wasn't in a grain bin with no ventilation. Your place is going to be amazing, but it's not worth dying for. Go after what you want, but please do it safely. When Danielle is away, you put yourself through some grueling work. Until you get some ventilation, please don't hurt yourself for content. Those of us who are invested in you and your journey will still be here. No matter what. Take care of yourself, YouTube isn't worth dying for. Heatstroke is no joke.

Guys, you're letting the circle freak you out. Lay out a square inside the circle and use the outside sections of the square as a utility closet, storage closet, or whatever. Then build up and off the square. Easy peezy. Adjust as you go. Stop letting it consume your mind.

GUYS STOP OVERTHINKING THIS...ITS WOOD. finish the floor and start building walls and adjust as u go

Now is the time to do it right before you start the interior. Disassemble the grain bin, pour a rectangular slab. You can use the deck as a deck. 6x6 beams are not substantial. To support that kind of weight , you need at least 8x8. If you have tornadic winds it will rip rhe boards up L brackets bolted to concrete will survive strong winds. Then pour inside 2" to seal it. You will never regret spending the extra money.

Hey guys! Just an idea…could you just start building your Barndo & convert the grain bin into an entertainment space? Bar, cantina, grilling, hangout etc We had a similar issue with our house build & had to work thru those issues. We were going to chat with you at BamFest about it but never got that opportunity. I know you guys will work it out, you always do!! Good Luck to you!

"Time to take a risk" story? Ok. I sold some stuff a few weeks ago. Yesterday, I set up the laser cutter I bought with some of that money. Started working the computer program yesterday and successfully engraved some pieces. Grateful to God! LOTS of learning to process, but my goal is to make this my "retirement years" business. It's worth a try! Cheers to you folks.

Jeff and I just love ya'll. You remind us of our younger days....such hard workers to achieve your dreams. I was a nanny too! I took care of Senator James Inhofe's grandchildren. Just loved that job. As I went to college to become self-employed, as a Registered Electrologist. Then, on weekends...I worked at St. Francis Hospital. Three jobs at the same time. And Jeff has worked as a Process Engineer, traveling all over the World. It's all about motivation and dreams. You have to get up and do it! Life is to short....follow your dreams! We are your 'ole neighbors now, as we enter our 60's...but you still see us trying lol,...hope to be on the 20 soon...trying to sell our Keystone Lake home...poor economy right now. We are ready to live a simplier, retired life. Keep up the good work...life goes too fast, enjoy everyday. Jeff and Tracie.

Sometimes in the game you have to drop back and punt. From the outside looking in here is my suggestion. Stop with the bin for now. Trade your camper in for one twice the size. Find an elderly person with a 10 year old unit. Maintain the "Town" house for one more year. Finish your necessities like permanent reliable power (solar or Pwr Co), water and septic. Hook the bigger camper up and hit reset on the "bin house". Pour a slab and mov the bin to the new location and turn the beautiful deck into a picnic, pool and BBQ area/ Stage! Yep Stage!

You guys are my favorite YouTubers. I love seeing you guys work together and figure things out. I'm 71 now and missed all my chances to do what you guys are doing. Watching you guys living a real life is a pleasant change from all the BS going on in the world. Love you guys and wish nothing but the best for y'all.

You guy's are doing ok, just relax. It will be awesome when it's finished.

Your lucky you two are young and healthy i worked in a nursing home over 30yrs was hard physical work now im suffering with pain because i gave my all working for them good job but when i left 3 people had to replace what jobs i did they dident realize what jobs i did but now being devorced my first wife got it all we owned our house now remaried 20yrs havent got very far in life now i was working night shift loved that only 10 yrs though then they put me on days was the hard job so life is not good you were saying about life and so on. Now im retired and on a pension but its not much now !! Good vidio today i like it you telling us about your lives

You could preserve your deck by putting a patio cover all around. Then you could also do rain collection!

Get a bid from a silo conversion contractor to just frame out the inside with light weight 2x4s then finish the job yourselves.

I have to agree with some others that commented. Scrape the grain bin project, build a Barndo/shop so you can get out of that small camper and move on with life. We love your channels, love your animals and your property but seeing how you just got married - you just need to move on and enjoy each other. Life moves to fast. Remember MIRACLES HAPPEN TO THOSE WHO BELIEVE

Yep,there’s no luck involved. Just a lot of hard work and sticking to it! You two will figure it out and eventually have the home of your dreams. And it may end up being something completely different from what you originally thought. And sometimes you just have to vent/complain and then just get back at it. 😊☕️🇨🇦☕️

Good Tuesday morning, kids! Stay cool and stay hydrated. I agree with several other people's comments : stop overthinking. The gentleman who suggested using plywood on the round edges. Contact an architect on some of your issues. I have lived in pier and beam houses for 64 of my almost 69 years. As long as you keep up with it, you are okay. You are going about it the right way. The advantage of this kind of foundation is you DON'T have to put in your plumbing and electrical lines before you start your build. You can at least fix issues that can be fixed without breaking up a concrete slab. If you do build the barndominium/shop, then pour a concrete slab if you want. I have absolute faith in you two. P.S. Props to Danielle. I worked 40 hrs/week with a husband and infant-->toddler while doing my pre-nursing and nursing school. I wasn't at the top of my class, but by golly, I made it through. If Danielle was valedictorian while working like that, well done. 😊

the problem with building on a deck is its not stable forever. the right way if you didnt want to pour concrete would have been a poured footing with a block foundation and then a center beam with floor joists just like a real house would be built. then you drop the bin on that and your floor is done, build your walls and its just way easier, way more perm. you could have had the floor extend for your deck just like you have it. insulate the floor joists and your not trying to stud a floor, or cutting circular plywood. not sure on the size of the joists on your deck but they need to be a minimum of a 2x10 with a center beam is all you need. all your ends all the way around doubled and your bin will be fine. as long as your footings are 36-42" below the ground.

There is a grain bin tiny house in between Springfield and Branson MO that is on a wooden deck. It's called "The Sassafras Treehouse"

Please bring back the vortex. Huge love ❤ from Canada.

Depending on how long you want the house to last, i might start over and do a slab. Either way, you should probability have some sort of seal on the bottom of the bin.
