Building a Huge Farm Shed - FULL BUILD

Some information. Trusses, metal, screws, ridge cap came from Jackson Metal Roofing Supply in Forsyth, Ga. About 40 miles from building site. Howard has worked for me for 15+ years. He is like family. He starts chemo AND radiation late next week, so pray for him. When Howard knew he was going to be out some, he recommended Larry, who has turned out to be another good’un. Richard works for my brother on his cattle farm and we borrowed him for a few days. Howard started helping Wes on off days a few years back. A little background: Wes’s grandmother taught me in high school 60 years ago. Our families have interacted for at least that many years. I believe this is the 4th video Wes has done on our place. Two on Felling and Milling Pines, building a Homestead Shelter, and this one. Yes, the metal screws had washers. Yes, we are going to put diagonal bracing on the building next week. Wes can pin this if he sees fit.

Neighbors helping neighbors. Good way to build community.

"If there's anything I can say to help, just let me know." gold, love it

"If there's anything I can 'say' to help..." 😅😅🤣 I'm stealing that one!

Hat's off to Howard, Larry, and Richard again, tell 'em Ron says, "Hi." They're handier than a 2-pocket shirt. That was an incredible video. Thanks so much for creating it. Hope your finger heals quickly.

It looks great!! Back in 2014 my husband was building a Gazebo in my back yard. Our daughter wanted to be married under it. In the middle of it all he had to have surgery on his left thumb joint to stabilize the joint thanks to R.A. The next day he was back to building that gazebo, hand in cast and all. You remind me of him. He always built anything needed around here, was willing to do anything for our friends. Just rarely asked for help. Don't do that please, ask for it when you need it.

Really enjoyed the video. Sure was good to see Howard again and nice to meet Larry and Richard. Looks like Howard knew what this job was going to entail so he brought reinforcements. He figured he was going to need all the help he could get to keep you in line 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣. Stay safe, GOD BLESS and see ya on the next one.

Few YouTubers are conscientious enough to show respect for the sound track and music that (usually) enhances their channel. I checked out Gabriel Lewis' music thanks to your calling attention to this fine artist. Methodical melody leading up to a great conclusion. And a great shed too!

A tip from a boy scout. In building several outdoor shelters,, think roof, trusses, shingles supported by 6X6s,,, Not unlike your structure at all. I just build them with no walls. Ya wanna make them extremely stable? Spread the legs. If the exact truss length is 24',, and the exact building top plate length is 50 feet Then position the base of your 6X6 columns each one or two inches wider in both length and width. An inch in increase will have the column bases exactly 24'2" X 50' 2" A two inch out of plumb will increase the spread of the bottom to 24' 4" X 50' 4" The increase in stability in a wind is startling. A one inch out of plumb is undetectable. A two inch out of plumb can only be seen by a well trained eye in a 9 or 10 foot to top of plate tall structure.

Great neighborly help. You all have some really red clay/dirt there.

Love the sound track

Looking forward to living in my dream house! Thank you, Ryan's, for not only the initial support with your special but ongoing support through my build! youtube.com/post/Ugkxe81Bz076USDt6sYU1rDcNa2LwCIKA… Experience has been amazing so far! Made the process easy.

It was so nice to see Mr. Howard again. 😊 "Hiya Mr. Richard", and "Howdy Mr. Larry!" 🙋🏽‍♀️

It’s awesome to see Howard back he brightens up the videos that’s for sure

Great job my friend. You and your helpers did an awesome job. I agree with you as far as bracing the structure more.

12:28 Just like me watching people work around me! LOL 😁

When you are pulling the sheets of steel up onto the roof, clamp a pair of vise grips to the end. That gives you a good grip and is safer.

Nice job. Good to see Howard again. Getting the trusses up in place looked like a challenge. Will be a nice shed when he gets it complete. Thanks for bringing us along.

Neighbors helping neighbors. That is one of the things that makes American great

Good to see Howard 😁
