Ohhhh, I AM looking forward to the new 40x60 pole barn build. My son in law, north of Houston, TX, just built a 40x60 shop. It's metal with a 6" concrete floor. He's a car buff, so has visions of 2--4 post lifts for stacked storage of 4 cars and a 2 post lift to use while actually working on his cars. I'm really excited for him. Soooo, I can hardly WAIT to see your build. :)

Glad to see you expanding and growing! One tip I might add is to make sure the building has a door on each side, this way you don't have to drive around the building, plus you can pull trailers straight through.

Adam, a word of advice from experience…make sure your builder makes the lean-to the width you want from the building to the posts. A buddy had one built and it is 12’ if you measure the roof, but the 6x6 posts are at 10’6” from the building. I hope that makes sense. Had he said 14’ lean-to, it would have been closer to his desired 12’ useable space.

The new tractor earned it's keep in this video.

Be sure to design your shop with an East-West ridge pole. If you decide to go solar (now or in the future) you will have a South facing roof.

Buy 2 or 4 more trusses and make 40×80 you wont regret it one bit!!! My dad and i built one 30×60 after putting everything in wish we would have gone 40× 60. I built pole barns during the summers and everyone went to small, we were going back and adding extra length. Buddy of mine was going to build a 40×60 then had him come to my barn which was already built on my property 40×40. He ended up going 40×80. Which after 5 yrs is glad he went bigger. Not one regret.

A lot!

How will a semi load of logs be dropped off in the new lumber yard? Will they back in or will you make a road for an easy pull thru? You don’t want to keep moving piles of logs. Get neighbor Doug involved in the planning. There’s got to be a better way

Semi's will have no issue backing in. A boom truck with a trailer on it, will be a struggle. Log hauler Jessie could do it blindfolded.

Glad to see your putting all your toys under cover and out of the elements...... good job congrats !

Looking forward to watching the progress. Hope Doug and Kyle help alot !!

Very excited for you and to see the building. This episode shows why i stuck up for you against the arm chair experts that thought you ought to know just where everything should go right off the jump. Glad to see you mention that the new wood yard layout could change. Also, i agree, that space will make a dandy wood yard.

Great to look forward to! Drawback to the way the processor is set up now compared to the previous setup: excavator in between the platform and the stack of logs, you now will have to drive it to fill

New building is going to cover up shots of the house which was always nice to see from the woodyard.

You sure could use an 80 inch snow bucket for the sawdust/scrap removal chore. I use mine for everything light weight and it holds 3 times more material than a standard bucket.. Great planning on your new barn. Todd in NH.

It's kinda like the domino effect - need more space, gotta move this to fit this there to put that there - who cares, it gives us more Hometown Acres videos 🙌💃🙌 Keep it up, please!! Sooooo thankful for this channel! God bless y'all 🙏♥️👍

Good morning Adam, nice job cleaning up the wood yard. It’s also nice to see your Vision for the Future, the new building will open up many new opportunities that will support new revenue streams and value added quality for your Customers. From an open field that steps into future Smiles, Friendships and endeavours you have come a long way as CEO of your Life’s Growth and Path Forward. 😀👍👍👍

Growth and expansion, all good. Looking forward to the build

I just had P&W Construction complete a 40*64*16 pole building. They're nice to have. You can never go big enough. I'm local to you if you want to check it out.

Hi Adam. I didn't hear you say the height of the building. The only big mistake that I made was the height. I did a 30 x 80 wood shop with a 12ft ceiling. I now wish it had at least 16ft or 18 ft. With that height you can add an upstairs office and mezzanine. Also I want to add a lean-to but the eave is low. Did I mention a 14ft x 12ft door is needed. Lumber piles coming in sideways with the loader. I can't wait to see your new building. Have fun.

My building is 40x80 with a 14’ ceiling. A standard overhead door height is 12’. I have a 12x16 and 10x10. I do have to watch the 12’ door height sometimes with my equipment. One end is closed off and has an 8’ ceiling, so the overhead area is about 5 1/2’.

@@HometownAcres Adam are you saying 14’ on the height or width? I’m in initial stages of research for a building. Just wondering popular opinion for height for bringing maybe motor home into the building and an excavator. How thick concrete floor you doing?

That's going to be an awesome building, can't wait to see the progress

That is some awesome equipment! I’ve been working on getting my woodyard setup and I have to say, yours is going to be next level! 👊

Good video 👍 Can't wait to see the changes and building process.

Your new firewood processing plase looks amazing and really nice to be able to get some shade both for man and machine and the new building will get a perfect place asvel Greetings from Norway 🇳🇴

Sounds like a solid plan.. Can't wait to see the progress.

I always love/hate the planning stage for a new building. Its an exciting time,, but I find myself second-guessing every decision I make! In in the middle of building a 40x60x14 pole barn right now. I would have went bigger but was constrained by how my land lays

That should be really useful and close. Looking forward to seeing it go up! 👊🏼

Looking forward to the build.

40x64 is a big building. I live in a 40x70 barn dominium so I can easily see just how much space you'll have. It going to be sweet, especially with the 12' extension on the side. I'm assuming your going to bring electricity to the building. You might want to consider solar with all the open space you have out there. I live 1200' off the road and it cost me $12,000 to bring electricity to my house, which I've also got set up for solar. Had corporate not decided we'd have grid power, I often wonder just how nice of a system I could have gotten using those funds for a solar array and batteries. With some of the solar system out there today. Looking forward to your build.

Can't wait to see the new build, but I would probably bring in fill because of taking away from your dam . Also I think you will have an issue for clean up with your yapa, but maybe it's just the camera angle. As always love the content !

Looking forward to the new build.

I live in the denver area.. .all we have is pine( spruce and fir) you guys back east with " woods" are spoiled/lucky to have all that oak growing like weeds. cherry too! Other than pine we only have cottonwood( awful) and aspen

GOOOOOOD SATURDAY MORNING EVERYONE from a gorgeous cool morning here in Virginia Beach!!…Adam, great location choice. Looking forward to watching the land prep & the building of your new pole barn. Thanks for sharing Have a day

good video and job all loader tractors need rim guard mine have alcohal in them. i would put it where you can put sheds on both sides. will be nice to have sawmill and lumber under roof. take care be safe and well.

Looks like a great plan Adam. I’m looking forward to following the build. - Dick

Another interesting video Adam. You are very lucky that you have all of that flat cleared space. I bet Mike Morgan is jealous. Anyway, stay safe healthy and dry. Bill H from Cranberry Township

What the chance of getting an update on the pond and if it is sealed or leaking. I would think that it is full with all of the rain we got in April. Also, good luck on the new project!

Looks like a great plan Adam- looking forward to seeing the progress.

not sure i'd be wanting to see so much of the new building from the house, after you put all the work in with the landscaping and pond, for the sake of a 12ft lean to

That’s the hardest I’ve ever seen a youtuber get after making firewood!….tell what hometown, you should build a static screener and put a piece of expandable metal on the top and get your excavator and screen through the sawdust and scrap pile, that makes beautiful topsoil!…great video!

Adam, something to think about, consider putting the 'lean-to' on the side of the building opposite the house if at all possible. Reason being it would be less noticeable from the porch when enjoying your view rather than looking at equipment storage. That's just my opinion. Of course you could always add one to the other side too!

From a woman's point of view, I was thinking the same thing. It would be more pleasing to the eye. Then plant some shrubs on the house side of the new building - the more nature to look at, the better! Can't wait to follow this!

Looks great Adam! It’s been fun to watch your progression from darn near day 1. Super happy for you!!

Pretty exciting time

If your budget allows, I would make the lean too 14 or 16 ft wide off the building so you can move bunks of lumber in and out easily without worrying about hitting the building

It’ll be nice for sure, the worst part is running the power to it.💵💵💵 As the old saying goes, doesn’t matter how big you make it eventually it’ll be full.

Nice flip with that sawdust pan.

Hey just a thought but isn't your pond right above where you want to build? if there was any type of failure or flood could be a bad location. Maybe give that some thought. I have had some flooding issues with my building being in a location that's similar. Mother nature doesn't care what we think is a great location... Just thought you should look at that.

Good luck whith the new building.

Nathan Elliott (Out of the Woods) has a video from Friday the 26th and it features a Cookie Miser that clamps on to a sawmill. Good idea for your sign making business.

looks great, keep up the good work,

Looking good Adam,I can't wait to see all of the videos for the new building process. How is the pond doing??? Take care,have fun and God Bless you all!!!❤😊

You'll find out how the pond is doing once water starts seeping into the building and destroys the foundation.

Buy a piece of equipment, build a storage building, buy a piece of equipment, build a storage building....the cycle never ends and we never stop.

Looking forward to seeing this new building. Does the new woodyard stay dryer than the old one?

Nice video Adam

You’ve needed the building! Yea! How’s the pound filling up?

Going a nice shed

Does it make any sense to orient the building relative to prevailing winds or sun angles? Or so you can see the doors from the house?

Why do you throw sawdust into a pile? You could pack them in bags and sell them as kindling, for sprinkling under bushes, for compost, or for animals as bedding. Greetings from Poland

No pond updates for a while. Me thinks we still have issues.

@Shawn_Richards

Ай бұрын

Yeah, so let's put a building right next to it!

Please update on pond

Hey Adam do you have to get local planning authority ( I think you call it code ?) permits to build a pole barn over here in the Uk you would need planning permission from the local council as well as building regulations in order to build it?

Putting a building right next to a troublesome pond. Excellent idea! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Nice work Adam, the empire continues to grow!

Pond update

Don't know if it's worth it to you but if you bag that sawdust up you could likely sell it in your road side stand to someone that had chickens/rabbits/hamsters/etc.

How much frontage do you have and how far back is your house from road? I have 60 acres and it seems like you have so much more. I know photography can make things look bigger! Jeff from silver Creek NY

👍

What color is the are you going to do

I look forward to the build, however, I’d encourage you to consider how the building will look up next to the pond. Will a tall building disrupt your relaxing view of the pond from your house? I think the building back in the wood yard would blend into the natural landscape with tall trees surrounding it.

I would not build below the giant pond. Your proposing building on a flat low spot in front of property. Put the building on top of hill away from road. You can't beat mother nature and gravity & water flow. Closer to road also easier for robbery grab n go

Definitely not the sharpest crayon in the box!

Looks like the log pile is in the wrong direction for putting the mini in-between so you won't have to drive back n forth for grabbing logs n turning to load.

Day 3 of asking for a pond update.

Great plan and I know video shows different than real life but maybe put the axis a tad farther from the conveyor it looks on video that there won’t be enough room to work around the conveyor with a tote underneath
