Timber Framed Barn Part 17 Trusses Are Up!
This week thanks to the help of Sam and Gwil we finally got the trusses up. We also picked uo some stone for the stone walls around the foundation and made some brackets for the lean to on the side of the barn. those will be going to get galvanised next week while I start work on the 60 lengths of purlins that all need joining together.
Enjoy the video.

This must be a prize-winning project of some kind.
Great job well built.Someone 300 years from now will be impressed!!!
'it's definitely gonna help innit?' 'it's not the right tool, but it's the one that's workin'' Just two minutes in and I've already heard more down to earth wisdom than in three years watching government.

O and what I really like is the work of the old guy with the white hair. Bad weather lifting and holding? No problem we can do that. Personally I'm 71 and fit, but...
Love my Fridays when i see a Kris Harbour video ready to watch
You get more done when you're not feeling well than most people do when they're at 100%. Beautiful build.

That is such a true statement, it makes me laugh! He is a grafter in the old sense.
I absolutely love the rain that blesses your life all the time,I’m envious of that liquid sunshine!
Your barn will be a "work of art". Your channel should be called "The Art of Work".
You're amazing man. I hope you realise how inspiring this channel is. Thank you.
Once again, Dot's masterful control of the drone results in superb video spotlighting the intricacies of the barn construction. Her shot selection really allows viewers to feel involved in the building process. Kudos to you, Kris, for carefully powering through the virus and kudos for another excellent video for your viewers.

@@nick.caffrey - Agree. Kris and Dot are truly partners in life.
Thank the gods.......finally some friendly distraction from "the madness"! Top life, top work!
What I said before, what a building, what a structure. The perfection how it all comes together. The design is great, Kris very good job, but the guys who made it, the carpenters, unbelievable 💪💪💪💪
This is amazing. The sense of achitevement must be immense. To design the building yourself, mill the wood yourself, construct the component parts (with help) and then erect the building too (again with help) must be very satisfying. The barn looks beautiful so far!
That is an amazing barn! Just 3 People! Incredible!! That barn will be there for generations! Feel better soon!
Kris, you are a national treasure, and Dot is the jewel in your crown. Really enjoying the barn build. Thank you both for the great content.

Yes, Dot's always there when everyone else has had to go away, for whatever reason. I have lived with the same woman for 50 years. She is part of me, and I of her; it is an unbeatable combination.
just knowing your barn exists gives me a smile 👍🏼
Very impressive workmanship. That barn will outlast all of us !
Kris should be knighted as an original British genius. He must be the leading practical engineer in the Anglo Sphere. Hell of a man, and modest too.
A big thanks to all of the good people helping Kris !!! Looking good, I'll be here for more.
Nice surprise for a Friday night with a beer 👍🏻💪🏻
"Hope you enjoyed the video." Understatement, Kris, understatement. The result of meticulous planning, draughtsmanship, and drive. This structure should be a grade 1 listed building already! But then, there would be too much regulation for you, I feel. Masterwork.
Your barn is a thing of beauty, keep well and thanks for sharing. ❤
The effort and planning you put into all your projects puts us all to shame lol this is such an awsome build cant wait to see it finished, well done for soldiering on we have had so much crappy weather havnt we, nice one Kris keep chipping away 👌🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Tip of the hat to Sam and Gwil. Real troopers they are!
An absolutely stunning structure, you are a true craftsman.
What a line: "its not the right tool, but its the one thats working" Been there dude! 😅
Thank you Kris. Poor weather, groin pain & virus yet you push through. We need your work ethic here in the states! Very well done. Get rest!

The young Viking you have helping you is an absolute unit!
I was getting worried! Nice with an update!
This is an amazing channel. And think on this Kris, these structures you're building, in 200years, after you're gone, and KZread is gone, that barn, and that greenhouse, and that workshop will still remain! Amazing. Makes you truly appreciate how the old timers made them without power tools.
If this is the barn, the house will be a palace!
Looking great, Kris … that building is going to be there for hundreds of years
Fantastic craftsmanship, this barn will last a very long time. Well done.
Kris - this barn build continues to amaze me - you really should give yourself some healing time (but I know you wont) this barn build is just fantastic
Your barn is massive , and the efforts you exert are outstanding...!! Hooray for the whole crew..!! The view from your top floor reveals quite a beautiful panorama... windows should be up there...really enjoy this moment... it is proof that sheer backbone will always be respected... Well Done kris...!!
That's to good to be just a barn. What a nice top floor home. That would make. Brilliant as always.
that barn will outlast all of us. he builds stuff well.
A good trick would be to get a length of old chain link fence, lay it down in the bed and then load rocks on top of it. Then you can just hook a chain to the end of the chain link and a ground anchor point (tree etc.) and pull away and the rock will slide off. Then to get the chain link from out under the pile, just hook the chain back up to the trailer (far end of the pile) and pull away again and the chain link will roll up and over the pile. It also helps to have a stiffening bar or length of rebar woven into the chain link end section you're pulling from so you don't pull out a single strand of fencing.
Beautiful building, should stand for hundreds of years. Bet someone ends up turning it into a grand old home someday.
Wow, you look like a teenager with short hair and your lovely face. Have been sick for over a year and have missed a lot of your vids. Great work Kris.
Absolutely fantastic work Kris! Barn is looking so big and strong!
Congratulations for getting it done! Living vicariously thru you :)

I am enjoying the idea of "time is not important". (so it is portrayed) If this is the "pace of life" in your area, then that's where I should have lived my life.
The shot beginning at 12:34 , absolutely beautiful.
Oh good it’s kris, with a return to the barn. Put a smile on my face.
Remarkable progress while ill. Thank you for perservering when you can barely stand up. Feel Better soon!
Thanks for the presentation Kris - really enjoyed it - sorry you've not been well. Like you, when I was younger I never relished lying on a beach - I always wanted to be doing something useful!! Best wishes and I look forward to the next episode,
Kris harbour is my hero I admire his work ...
You need to come to the Caribbean. Catch a flight to Puerto Rico & I'll show you how the locals do what you're doing. More solar than water turbines, recycled rain water & a huge diversity of fruits & veggies.. You'd love it. I have a place you can stay.
love the geese watching you unload the trailer.....lol. love our critters!
Watched you from the start ,you never fail to amaze me,how you progressed through such a short time is awesome (a man after my own heart )so to speak ,
Can’t beat a kris upload on a Friday. Will sit and watch when I’ve got some peace and quiet 👍🏻
Giday from Ottawa Canada. Must be so gratifying seeing your barn come together so beautifully. Amazing workmanship.👍☕️🍻🇨🇦😊
Really taking shape. Looks great. Thanks for the video.
Love this project, scratch that I love all your projects, these are the things that I have longed to do, but I am no longer able by myself congratulations on making the right decision early
I am loving every minute of this build.
A man who smiles knowing there's twenty tons of rock waiting to be hand-bombed in the pissing rain is indeed living his elemental life. Good to have you back Kris.
’go kick rocks! ’ "joke’s on you, I love kicking rocks in the rain! "
I know nothing about working with wood HOWEVER I do enjoy watching you making thing and building things. Keep up the good word. And look after yourself and get better before the winter hits Wales
Really enjoyed this one that much I've watched it twice already ,can see your well chuffed think everyone watching is aswell
Great work Kris, I hope everyone who watches these videos realises the hours of work to minutes of video ratio in play! Keep it up 👍
Well done. Man that is difficult and precise work. I hope that you are feeling better soon. 🇨🇦
👍👌👏 Very well done (video and work). This fantastic barn looks like a beautiful, sturdy work of art to me. Congrats for all the progress shown in this video. Very nice stones by the way. The very special metal heavy duty beam connectors that you fabricated, are looking really great. 2) I hope that you will soon have recovered from your infection completely. I was happy to hear that you had some quality time with your family. I bet that all of them are very proud of you. By the way, if I'm allowed to say that: I'm very proud of you too. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and especially health to all involved people.
I’ve really looked forward to this video. You keep me(mostly) sane. 👍😁❤️
Your resilience and endurance is inspiring Kris!
Late to the party, didnt get the notification, but that place is going to have to become a bed and breakfast. Looks great, thanks for the update and hope you are feeling much better now
Very nice work getting the trusses up on 3-man power. I think one of the top floor corners would be a nice afternoon tea room overlooking the fields. Just need a table and a couple of chairs, enjoy the scenery :-)
Well done all of you. The team is really coming together. 👍
Wow👍 Look how far you’ve come👏👍❣️
I have been eagerly await this video. Re watched the last few to feed the anticipation! Great to see it coming together.
Another stroke of the artist’s brush
Dot on Drone controls.. well done.. looking fantastic!
Pretty nice having an old guy to do the shifting!
You can be proud of what was accomplished here.
I totally agree with you Kris about working in even grotty weather is far more for filling than lying on a beach in the Carribean. A great sense of achievement. You are amazing.
Built better than most Churches I have seen !!! I love it !!! Been here since the tires under the Yert !!!
Bloody fantastic, the barn is comming together despite the Welsh summer😎😎
Despite the weather and a virus you got those trusses up ain't she a beauty eh well done all of you, love seeing Dot in their to, these animals are gonna be in a palace🐑🐏
Amazing brain and muscle power at every stage of this barn build. Enthralling stuff!
Look after yourself, silly accidents happen when your not feeling 100%. It's really looking good. Shout-out to the team of carpenters you made the frame with, they and you did a cracking job.
Watching this video from the British Virgin Islands! 🏝
Put a wooden beam in front of the trailer, 2 ropes on either end, attach ropes to something solid, drive forward, trailer unloaded!
Woot! More Barn raising!
Great vid, all your patience while wrestling big limbs of wood is always very impressive
Slow and steady.. looking great!!! Love the journey!!
I can imagine your grand children saying in 60 years: Granpa built this in the twenties and is still as new. Congratulations. I thought your workshop was impressive but this built is so much more!!!
Another great video Kris- your skills continue to amaze me!
One can't but admire your work ethic Kris. Even feeling very unwell and in poor weather conditions, you are still out there pushing on with the build. I look forward to every episode.
Looking absolutely mega can't wait until its finished, loving the videos keep it up
You are genius!!! Amazing building, an artful design!!
I think you're an awesome driven person, and maybe because you are so focused on your vision, you don't realise that the people who work for you are quite clued up and you can come across as quite condensing. I wouldn't want to work with you. In the nicest possible way. Because you're a good person xxx
I will have to watch the rest after I get out of work. That is quite the load of rock!
Absolutely I enjoyed the video Kris. Bravo and I hope you feel better soon.✊
Nice job, love the use of trees to hold in place.
It’s very helpful to have the two gentlemen helping you. You couldn’t have done it alone.
Feel better, but glad you posted.the barn is really looking awwsome
You and your crew should be really proud of what you’ve achieved so far
Well done kris what an experience to build such a great building from milling to assembly
