Very beautiful!
Simple gutters and downspouts will stop the water trough from forming and splashing up on the wood posts. It will also give you some rainwater catchment for watering the lawn/flowers.
Your camera angles and editing are really good Katie. Good work!!
Greg and Katie you both are so blessed I completely remember that bus. You’re doing well for yourselves love all your builds
With that huge roof you could get some giant rainwater catchment totes for each corner and have enough to pump into your cistern, or even build a secondary cistern near the barn as a backup water source. No more creek hauling..... wouldn't that be nice. (You should also do that with house roof to run into your cistern)
You two are great at the reuse, recycle and reclaiming item! So great to see when we live in such a throw away society today!
Not gonna lie. Jazz montage was cool. ❤️ Keep it up!!!
Of all the channels I follow, I look forward to watching your channel the most. You guys rock!! Love from Montreal!!
ya'll should add 12 ft. to the other side of existing building, and install barn door so you can get the tractor inside for bringing the heavy stuff inside. great job so far, Katie works like a man no job too small or big. you're a lucky man Greg.
i would like to say how good your homestead is looking ,your doing a grand job
Cordless power tools make life so much simpler. You guys are doing an awesome job.
The siding looks great and glad you found all those free windows!!! Poor little chicks; I had no idea turkeys were so ruthless 😢
Wow, with the walls/framing you can really see how big a space this will be. What a huge accomplishment and homestead addition. I wish I had Greg's carpentry skills, dang, and the two of you are such a team. Question: I saw a video a while ago where you were hiking your property with the dogs and goats, and the CAT was following you too. I was cracking up, does your cat do this often?
Greg, Katie, you guys are the hardest working people, you make a great team, I have watched you build a piece of paradise up there in the beautiful Canadian mountains for years, you guys rock. Saying hello from Florida USA. Thank you for sharing and taking us along.
Greg with all the wood you have available make a good sturdy wooden table/bench for the table say, planer
Greg, Gutters and down spouts with 55 gallon plastic barrels to catch rain water would be nice. Also a treated staub in the middle of the 2x12 treated board with bowing out under pressure of the back fill.
CUTE CHICKS!.... GOOD JOB!...... LOOKING GOOD U2!
Put a sliding door up on the new old barn would be fantastic for getting tractor & things in & out of the barn
There's nothing like Canadian engineering
Old followers, watching from Australia. Loving how happy you both look, especially Greg now that you have full time to work, with Katie, on your home. The new barn/shed is looking excellent! We also vote for the suggestion for you to put guttering and down pipes, leading into two large plastic water tanks, off the side of the shed. Just on the side with the new metal roofing. We put water catchment on everything with a large roof space here. The tanks might freeze in winter, but you could drain them prior to winter. It could provide invaluable fresh water over summer, to back up water supplies for yourselves, animals and garden.
Greg & Katie, a marvelous job today. It's looking Great. One day, to be able to do chores underneath the barn without getting wet. Maybe you should consider an wall area (where you can frame for cables and clamps) where in the future you hang a solar panel or two for some night lights or even heat. Hoping you have a beautiful & safe upcoming week. Hugs from Santa Barbara 🤗😘🍷🌹😎👏🐐🐤🐣
You guys are amazing, need to get gutters and rain barrels for water catchment. I love your compound, everything looks great.
Hi Katie and Greg, great to see you again today. The transfomation of the building is happening quickly and it look great. It must be so nice to have a work space under cover and out of the elements now. The siding and window trim look great and you sure accomplished a lot. I'm glad the chicks arrived with minimal loss. I was glad to see the two shorter diagonal supports for lateral movement working around the window. That is exactly what I was thinking you should do; after watching the previous video, I got the impression you abondoned the idea of a window there because a longer top to bottom support would interfere with the window. Have a great week and be safe. Larry, Central Valley, Ca.
Great work on the barn. It looks fantastic so far. You do a phenomenal amount of work and are so good at reusing, repurposing. Well done on your team work also!
What an awesome barn build! I love it.
Doing a good job on your Barn love your videos
I really like the rustic look of the framing lumber with the blue siding lumber. Looks great and will be a great addition to your homestead. Thanks for sharing your lives with us,. God bless you both, today and always ! USA Kay
You both are working hard couple , mill your own wood , build everything by your own hand , as I always said , there is a bright path to success, I’m so glad to see you deserve everything you have work so hard , ❤
Man I wish I had half of the talent y'all do. Love watching the updates you do around your property. Really enjoyed watching the transformation. Keep up the great work!!
Great job guys cutting tree up into Lumber for farm ,!! Most .5 inch, z, & 12 inches by 12' !! Wow
I don’t comment often but I do enjoy your content and the Black Dog loves to watch all the animals. That 5 acres you bought really made such a huge difference
You are building something special.
I love what you've done. The using of materials you have and the fact that your putting it all together so it looks great. Have a good week❤❤
So nice to see that you have 4,700+ views in less than 40 minutes!!!!
Katie and Greg, you both put in a long shift resulting in so much achieved. Glad the Chicks arrived but sad you lost three. You say some of the windows are old, but time you have finished they will look great. Hope you both enjoyed your meal. Love to you both xxxx ❤️💙 xxxx
You guys should put rain catchment on that roof
Wow the first time I ever saw you actually show any affection towards each other you kissed that is great and keep up the good work.
I think it's the first time I've ever heard Superwoman say she can't do something. I thought she could do anything she's so talented Greg has taught her so much. 6:28
Nice balance of building and animals
I wasn’t getting you post for some reason. So happy I saw your video and of course I started watching you again. Happy, Happy, Happy 😆
My 79 year old mom watches you guys a lot. she wanted me to tell you that for chickens if if you trim only one wing they can't fly they just spin. She made the mistake of trimming both wings before I was born and they just got out.
Glad your chicks arrived safely. You 2 work so well together. Very nice progress on the barn framing, windows,siding. Looking so different now.
Teamwork-=doing a great job and both of you are hard workers-
A good idea would be some guttering for rain catchment (as stated in other comments). You could use a couple of those big totes you have. Love seeing your progress on your home and barn. Regards from Scotland ❤
It's looking really great you two should be proud of yourself. God Bless from your Canadian Friend.
You guys just get the job done and it's amazing how good it looks
Hi Katie & Greg & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Katie & Greg & Friends Randy
Your videos are getting really good Katie, love the length of them too
Good job you both have a great day 😊
Another interesting video. It’s an impressive looking structure. Admire your cooperative and skilful working. Next Q&A - no questions but will watch. I do so admire how you are developing the homestead. Best regards, Phil, Suffolk U.K. 🇬🇧
Nice love it when a plan comes together, looking real good folks
U guys are awesome,hardworking and productive, great job on extending ur work shop and can be a lodging area in future. Keep up the high spirits. Godbless
I like the look of the barn and what you have done!!! Nice job guys!!
I would have used a torch to char those bottom boards to increase the rot resistance. You really need gutters on the barn. Just connect them to an IBC tote or 3 and save the water for the animals. You can use a 6 or 8-inch PVC pipe cut in half lengthwise for gutters in a pinch. If you have bats in the area you can encourage more by putting up several bat boxes. We did and the mosquitos and flies were no longer a problem. Having an additional lean-to to run the tractors under would not be a bad idea to consider. A door cut between studs is just fine for a goat door.
It will be nice to get all of your "stuff" under cover. Major accomplishment! Congrats!
Gutters and catch tank would make life a little easier!
FYI. In working with James Hardy board it is imperative that you seal the cut ends of all wood that you’ve put in. If it’s not sealed, it will get moisture in it and disintegrate. I know this because I was part of a condo complex that had the whole deal done and hardy board, and the contractors did not seal the end of the boards or any cut areaand we had the ends disintegrating and just flaking off just word. Just the word to wise so far everything looks great.
The grey looks great....😊
You guys need to build a pole shelter to put your vehicles in plus Greg's tractor to keep them out of the weather when you have ❄️ snow..Plus you need to build a shelter over your saw mill both of them would be great on you home stead.
I love Canadian content, up in northern Alberta. I get a kick out of seeing the Home Hardware and Canadian Tire products!!!
Love the blue boards against the darker lumber! Thats a huge barn! You two amaze me, love your videos!
One of my favorite channels...
Hello everyone. You are doing a really good job and are so hardworking. The walls look good. But I would have charred the first board on the walls that touches the floor with a torch so that it doesn't rot so quickly due to moisture. Best wishes from Germany. Andi
Congratulations on your new barn the chickens are so cute
Another outstanding job guys 👍!😇!😇!
Awesome always use what you already have great job.
I enjoy your channel. Thank you for sharing, it’s great the way yall work togather, even if you knock the boards down😂 and he misses his cut. I love your barn, and the windows look great.
You guys doing a great job on the farm
I love the way it's coming out!!
You can start thinking about rain collection now judging from the water coming off your new barn roof. Enjoying your videos. I live inCranbrook.
You guys have done a ton of work, looks great!
You should have a roll door that's the size of a garage door in case you need to get something big in or out 😊
Your are so good to that robin. Good looking siding. I like how you save money on your windows.
Great job you too, looking good ! Can hardly wait for the next video.
