I've been a builder for over 50 years in Michigan and Florida and I never seen such a horrible concrete pour. Those cracks kept me up all night thinking about them.

I'm from Ontario Canada so excuse my head scratching if it passes code down there, but take a look at your beam details and make sure it's correct. The beams are side mounted to the posts which is usually a no-no because your entire roof load is relying on the nails and bolts fastening the beam to the posts rather than the beam sitting on top of the posts.

I feel the comment about your childhood barn going away. Our farm barns and the old house are all gone now and I think about them all the time.

Thank you Bieri family for everything you do to keep us all entertained.

Derek, I think the peak roof shape you're alluding to at around 18.39 is what we in New Zealand call a Dutch Barn or Gambril Roof. In Australia it's called a Lean to barn usually with a beer in hand. Cheers. Other aspect is to install buried French Drains which are really buried rubble (which you have) where you can guide a water course away from the driveway to minimise MUDD

As a city slicker that is meant to be living in the country I am in absolute awe of a new barn build. 🤤

I agree with the guys talking about the cracks on your concrete slab. I’m doing construction for 20 years and you haven’t had that poured that long. It should not crack that soon after they pour yes concrete, my crack, but it shouldn’t crack like that those look. structural I would check those before you start building. Easier to fix it now than there’s a building on top of it

I started out in my career as an ironworker as i got older i moved to millwright been in the industry for 30 years and i can say ive seen it change alot the amigos are impressive and do good work fast just like my generation did.

You helped the gents with the fouled hose and air compressor, cleaning up, gathered the left over wood (Which you kindly gave to another family), it goes on and on. You do the work of His Kingdom! You all do! It is a joy to watch your videos and I can see you all truly enjoy these blessings. I pray over you all for security, safety, joy in your heats, and peace.

Recommendation for those cracks, expansion joints and pock marks from those support nails. Have the contractor, or you can do it it’s easy, put in a product like Sikaflex. It fills those areas yet stays flexible so it expands and contracts with temperature changes. It also keeps water from getting under your slab.

Mighty neighborly of a fella to drop off the scrap wood to a neighbor. Barn looking good Derek. Can`t wait to see what a fellers gonna do with the space.

I want to watch everything being moved in and arranged. I love that

you should have a generator there just incase you need some electrical juice wile you are out there . a guy might fined himself at the barn in the dark

I like it and think you should think about adding some lights to the entire building. You should try to get sponsored by a Solar Company and that way the sun could be your electric bill and you will be able to see throughout the inside for daytime or night time use.

Yea, it's crazy what happens when you sell out.

Im a little surprised about the cracking all over I would think they would haves used wire mesh lifted on "chairs" to keep it a few inches off the dirt to get the concrete all around it. Might have stopped that cracking some and also a vibrater along the sides to fill voids. Once you start putting cars in there with their weight might crack more. I wonder if the concrete was the right mix and strength and when the cold hits it might crack more.

He's in the South where the ground doesn't freeze, so I don't believe the time of pour was the problem.. The contractor is getting the blame here when it may be Derek trying to save money, even though he can well afford to do things right. He had a big problem at the other garage with water drainage that seemed obvious and cost a bundle to correct after the fact. Derek mentioned saving money so many times, you would think he was on a shoestring budget. Someone did a study a while back and concluded that Derek brings in $141 per minute day in and day out. This was even before Mottortrend and O'Reillys and what other projects, so money isn't an issue here.

Wood is fine as long as you have a good Vap Barr. If no water and conditioning gets in your golden.
