As a builder for over 30 years, this is still inspirational. I cringed when you stepped off of the scaffolding. Knew that was going to hurt. Glad you pressed on and was able to get it dried-in 👍🏼

glad you didnt completely mangle yourself... nasty ass fall. Amazing work, such an inspiration. Literally a pick yourself and dust yourself off build. Thank you for sharing.

As someone who just spent last summer learning how to build these this build is spectacular and an extended video with commentary would be amazingly useful for me. Can’t wait to see what it looks like at the end of next year.

Youve taken DIY to a whole new level man! I look forward to the bunker build!!!

That nail hack on the rafters was genius 👍👍👍

I work alone 90% of the time. The little tricks to act as a 3rd hand takes a creative mind!

You said built yourself, clearly you had a dog and a kid helping 😊

I have been bored by most You Tube videos lately. I can’t always find ingenuity and talent and I just move along. I was fascinated by this entire build. Your use of the skid steer - outstanding! Most would have used a tele-handler for this kind of work but you made that little Bobcat adequate for the job. And what a time saver to have your lumber cut before the build. Wow! Loved every minute of it!

😮 I did that, walked right out in to the air and off of the scaffolding. Did a face plant on the concrete. Was in the ER for three days. Lots of broken bones. As soon as I saw you fall, instantly got flashbacks. I’m glad you weren’t hurt anymore than you were.

Ouch. Not fun.

I love sharpies 😁 Dean am SO HAPPY you were not injured more severely and YES commentary would be AMAZING

hello. Respect for your courage working alone. Years ago I worked as a FEMA inspector after Hurricane Andrew in Florida. 20,000 buildings lost their roofs. The roofs joists and trusses were connected with plates and small fasteners similar to your project. The plates failed to hold during the vibrations caused by strong winds. Climates are changing as I now see strong winds in Northern Michigan. I recommend going back and using more bolts through wood connections to tighten thing up. Plates are on my disrespected list.

Great build. Shows clearly how to get it done and more. Nice work. Please add all the commentary you can fit to this, folks everywhere will benefit immensely.

Great job. Glad that fall wasn’t worse!

Bonus points for dragging that nail gun airline along with you... Ramset, Paslode, Milwaukee, DeWalt and the other patron saints of construction say "Take the time to erect the guardrail on your work platforms...", Spend some of the revenue from this interesting clip on a cordless nailgun... you've earned it... look after those wrists... I know how injuries can slow a person down when they're self reliant and practical, but we still get stuff done... just more creative thinking and a slower pace. Really like the use of repurposed materials on a big scale like this...

From someone who has taken a fall off a ladder... you're a bigger man than me because you got back up there. Incredible build.

Holy smokes, man! That fall could have been so much worse. Glad you're okay. The build is awesome! You were cruising along, all right. Good reminder to the rest of us to slow down and pay attention. Thanks for sharing.

Genius way to build, I’ve built for over 35 years and learned some tricks from you thx

Thank GOD you didn't get worse from that fall. Respect for showing that! You've got balls. Good work on that build!!!

Ah, to be young and have a back that could do this kind of work! Well done.

48x48 at a cost of 8K, dude you were a squirrel in a previous life, well done man well done

Great job! Pillar I’ve been a builder for 45 years and I still love watching others tackle projects like this and come up with great ideas to number one save money to and number two save a ton of time. And labor! I like all your little jigs for the bobcat too! I’ll definitely be checking out more from you. Thanks for posting this.

I wonder if he could not have had a helper and saved himself a little time. we all love to save money but most of us can not do much alone.

You are an absolute LEGEND !!

Pro moves with the scaffolding and top notch skid steer driving. I've built MANY pole barns... and we always futzed around w/ ladders.

Glad you're alright after your injury. Awesome build Sir.

I will be watching this 10 more times😂😮

I yeld when you came off the scaffolding. My wife came running bro. I have been there. Good job bus. Wish you all the best.

Wow! You never cease to amaze! Thank you for sharing your build experience with your internet family. 😀 You got lucky with that fall, glad it wasn’t more serious.

OMG, you poor thing!!! 😳🥺😖😢😭 May you make a quick recovery back to full health! ❤🙏😇❤🙏😢

Nice to see a good father that will have a son that will always love him. My father would have told me to get out of the way and clean up his trash at the end of the day.

That lift you made for the metal roofing was a stroke of genius. I wish you had had more detail on how you stood up and installed the truss rafters by yourself. I have built a number of smaller buildings by myself but I have always asked a friend for help when it was time to put the rafters up. I would be interested to see this video with commentary.

going from 3 plank scaffold to 2 plank. Dang! your body memory was set on that being 3 wide. ugh ouch! It's not the fall that kills you, its the sudden stop at the end of it. :)

I have to say, I am a little bit in awe of your work. I can never get a tarp to last 4 months, how can you make yours last through a Saskabush winter ? and oh yeah more vote for extended version please.

Insulated tarps are decent quality, and it’s attached to the framing really well that it doesn’t flap and move around👍

Hey, it says one man. I saw one little man helping out. Lol. For real, though, great job, man. I used to build these and couldn't imagine doing it by myself.

A squirrel in any life would jump and land on its feet from 6’ up with a nut in its mouth and not a scratch on its body. Too bad that didn’t forward. Love the build. Can relate to a lot of what you do, though not nearly as much and I do get my daughter or wife to help at times. Glad you healed.

Yes, I would absolutely appreciate a commentary version. Having never built a structure like that, I have some things I wonder about. Also, how did you locate so many components to build with?
