Building a Custom 26'x26' Workshop Start to Finish Solo Project

[@katblake]

Thank you for taking the time to document this process. It's so cool to see the workshop take shape. I have a question, would you consider making a Patreon so those of us who want to help you with a little something for kitty extras and whatnot could do so? I don't think you'd need to do any perks or anything. Me for one, I'd love to just donate a small amount monthly and help out the farm! Anyone else agree ? 😊

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

I appreciate that, I really do. Honestly I have so much to learn about that part of KZbin. Don’t even know how patreon works. People have been asking for merch too, still trying to figure that out. I need to get a P.O. Box cause people wanna send stuff too. It all makes me feel good that I’m on the right track to a successful channel, I figure all this out soon. Thank u so much ☺️

@@HiddenSpringFarm Hi there. *Tip - I'm not sure how deliveries are in Canada, but in the U.S. (Los Angeles area), some delivery companies won't deliver to a "P.O. Box". For my business, we set up a "Mailbox" at a UPS store and we have an actual address with a mailbox# listed. All packages are accepted and signed by an employee there. This seems to have resolved the P.O. Box issue. Best of luck👍

[@aerialrescuesolutions3277]

@@FelineFina Those services cost 3 or 4 times what a PO Box cost

@@aerialrescuesolutions3277 We pay $19.99/month. UPS, Fed Ex, etc... will not deliver to a P.O. box 🤷🏻‍♀️ Not sure about Amazon. Gotta get packages, so went this route.

[@watchersmith806]

You are such a hardworking man, Chad! It’s still hard to believe you were not in the building trade, but learned your skills on-the- job with what you needed on your farm. You remind me of Proverbs 22:29 “Have you seen a man skillful at his work? He will stand before kings; He will not stand before common men.”

Have a great week eh 😉

[@giz1847]

Just wow. I have never known someone who can do everything that you can do. Pretty amazing. Thanks for sharing this video 😊

So nice of you

Fantastic build! Really like how you designed it around the tree. Oh and I love the critters!

Can't wait to see the catio finished and something better for the pigs.

[@carlmclelland7624]

Having worn this pair of shoes, albeit a half-century ago now, you stirred a plethora of fond memories. If you enjoy at least half the pleasure I enjoyed in building - and enjoying my shop, then... my friend... you've succeeded in ways you'll never know nor understand until another half-century passes and you reflect upon when............ I have a nephew who owns a ranch in Arkansas, and my greatest pleasure in my old age, is visiting and helping him on his ranch. Only when he's reached my age will he realize how he's kept me alive by allowing me to relive my youth. Take care, be safe, and enjoy... that which you create..................

[@dawnth531]

I think you're a one-man Construction Crew lol. It's amazing all the builds that you do all on your own, for yourself and the animals. I hope you'll get to work on building your dream home soon as well. The kitties and dogs all seem to be like 'let's go see what Dad is building now' 😂😂

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Yeah they totally keep checking on my 😆

[@ZippedUpKitz]

Good Morning Chad!!! Hope you have a great day! I can’t believe you have built all of these building all by yourself self! They are awesome builds!

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Thanks 👍

I love the kitty 🐈❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Nothing like a good cat and a couple of silly dogs to help when a heavy building job comes along.

❤️❤️❤️

[@agnetaorum4616]

Not to take away from what Chad has built which is a great workshop‼️But theres plenty of interesting KZbin channels where the person has built their own house including a log cabin! One young Swedish man even built his own log cabin without using any power tools‼️Keep up the great work Chad❣️

[@lens7859]

Always envious of a guy who can do that alone from start to finish! Great job, it looks great

[@patriciadesserud9402]

WOW that was a masterful piece of solo building. My back was aching just watching all that lifting, bending and twisting. Love the cats and dogs. Till next video, stay safe.

[@Bill-k8g6e]

Great to see a DIY builder enjoying his craft. As one myself, it is a good feeling to see what one person can achieve. Stay hard friends

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

@@Bill-k8g6e aww thanks man, no greater feeling of satisfaction. I just finished building a massive sawmill shelter and it got a little sketchy a few times but it turned out great.

[@ZippedUpKitz]

Man, when I helped roof our house when I was 13, I had to do it the old fashioned way…. Hammer and nails….. that nail gun sure would have made a huge difference!

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Especially if it’s a pitched roof, my back and leg muscles get burnt if I’m up there too long, I just bought it too so I did the roof in a day.

[@WillieHolloway-mq8jv]

Amazing job 👏🏿 bro

[@milliealford8968]

You know this would make a Great Tiny House. I could sit all day and watch your videos. Your music is great! God Bless!! ❤😊 Tell Darling "Hi" and all the loving animals! PS, have you taught Olive to "GO FIND MAMA" if you ever need help?? I worry about you and all the projects you do by yourself.

[@jl9678]

Wow this is extremely impressive. A 26x26 solo build is no easy feat yet you did it. Great job and thanks for the motivation

Easily one of the best videos I’ve ever watched. You could play metallic at this point and I would still watch . Great video ! Wish everyone would give more time to the foundation. Such an important part of the build.

Very fun watching you build (first time for me). Great job. Now I have to see your other ones. Thanks for posting.

Its amazing how you can do that all by yourself. Congratulations for working hard, never giving up, and no excuses for trying your best with every single wall, truss, and roof piece. You are amazing. Your honey is the best as well. I love your farm and how you love your animals. It is an inspiration to me. I"m in Kenya b ut want to come home to the US so bad. I watch your videos because they bring me joy and give me encouragement that someday that will happen.

New subscriber from a native Californian. You had me hooked at “duck pond”! This build was exhausting to watch. We are in zone 9B so it’s a little difficult to comprehend what winter has in store for y’all up there. I love everything I’ve seen within the last few days. Our ducks are spoiled brats. However, you would not be jealous of our weather we had in July of the year. Hundred degrees plus for over a week. That was the time my new mama duck decided to go broody 🥴🥴🥴🥴

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

@@Jemma1121 oh boy I’d melt at 100, for me super hot is 86 😉 My wife’s sister lives close to LA and she tells us about their summer heat and drought. Decades ago we drove down to visit and then drove back home up the pch. Its was so nice seeing all the massive redwood trees in the north.
