Setting Pole Barn Posts Pole Barns Made Easy Part-3 (CTR 126)

#classictruckrescue #classictrucks #antiquetrucks Ironing the bugs out of the Line Trucks...Learning how to use them....and Jamie and I set the First Pole on our new building.

[@johndudley5987]

Looking great Rick and Jamie way to go. Just keep chopping away at it and before you know it you will have one beautiful shop.

[@Nudnik1]

Tie a rope to the choker to pull it down when hook is loose. We erect alot of steel and pole barns. This way no ladder needed.I see a steel choke which spring open when load is off. Keep.You guys safe....Great Show!

[@harveystrauss8359]

Rich,I just found the vid, Last Chance Garage. My respect level for you just hit 10+, it took a real Men to admit the past and turn his life around the way you did.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Thank you Harvey and Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@tomrausch7014]

As I work only part time your video’s are my TV. You show Real life by Real people who love God, each other and are passionate about what you do. Watched the “126” videos and also found Last Chance Garage.BLOWN AWAY!

[@JustGoodNotGreat]

The simple gesture of checking the holes to see if any critters fell in is a true measure of kindness and compassion. It’s those simple gestures in life that show our true character. Keep up the good work Rick and Jamie 😊

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

First person that understood my stress about the 25 open 4-1/2 foot by 18-inch holes in the front yard. THANK YOU Sir. A Squirrel, Rabbit or Baby-Deer...or Yorkshire-Terrier could have died if it fell into one of those holes and went unchecked and trapped for one 100-degree day....Thanks -again . -Rick

This brought back memories of fencing my yard and tamping in ever post with a sledge hammer. LOL You use what you got and make do. 30 years later the fence still stands true!

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

If it ain't broke...don't fix it...right? Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@glenngoodale1709]

This was so awesome ....... great teaching ..... love those beavers

[@joeschlotthauer840]

Hey man, gotta love a woman that supports your endeavors, and helps with your projects.

[@BUD100ify]

Hi Rick; Thanks for all the videos....I have enjoyed every one of them. About 40 years ago I built a shop similar to yours. I placed the posts and squared the corner posts at eye level...when it came time for the roof, it was out of square by 4"....I should have squared the posts from the top of the post....those pressure treated pine posts are not always completely straight. Both the building and I are old now, and both still standing. God Bless Regards, robert

[@BronzeGiant]

That shop is going to be HUGE! Good going!

[@terryw.milburn8565]

[@SteelyPaw]

I am always a fan, thumbs up............. Congrats to you and Jamie on the meaning of that first pole... I've been working on my own house so I have not had time to watch videos very much so I'm behind, but rest assured, if the Lord sees fit, I'll catch up.... Take care both or you and little Annabella......

[@macgvrs]

I don't think I am more excited to see you starting on your building than you are but I am excited and looking forward to seeing your continuing progress. I hope all goes well, and stay safe.

[@KevinJohnson-fx6wq]

Nice to know things are going well. One thing I forgot to thank you for was when you changed your mother's headlights. I didn't know how to adjust them. Seemed like everywhere I looked, I was told it was dealer. Thanks for that. I had actually messed with the adjustment screws by accident and one headlight was pointing into the ground. Well, I know you're busy as heck, thanks for sharing your adventures.

[@charlenemcgee8413]

I've been watching all your old videos . While I was waiting for your new ones. Glad to see you starting on the building. I love old trucks also. I learned to drive on an old 54 ford that was my Grandpa's. I'm just an old farm girl. Congratulations to you and Jamie, your so perfect for each other. Blessing be with you both.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Thank you...and Thanks Fer Watchin'...-Rick

[@mjdoug44]

Looking good y'all!!

[@faronf2006]

Going to me a nice shop for you guys 😊 I think the only thing I would have done differently , is brushed on a rubberized below grade foundation coating to further preserve the treated posts that were set in the ground .

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

I'm not going to live long-enough to worry about what the posts are going to do 60- years from now...someone else can fix them then if they need it.....and they can be grateful for all the other stuff I did for them. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@snoobiedoo6705]

I prayed over this video guys I prayed that this build will go as smoothly as possible

[@BrianLarson1326]

So proud to see progress on the shop. You guys are awesome. Saving up and hope to come and buy one of your trucks someday.

[@gilliland426]

great job you two!

[@jamesmallinger9555]

You are making great progress on the Ranch, ❤LoveJim J&R mobile service and God Bless Y'all and your critters

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Yes we are.Thank you Jim.

[@bray56mj]

Love your channel. Proud of your faith. Just for your info done in love. The difference between level and plumb lies in orientation. When something is level, it's straight from side to side, like a shelf that's been properly installed. When something is plumb, it's straight up and down, like the walls of a building. At one time I didn't not know the difference either. From one of the deplorables. WWG1WGA ( Found the definition of plumb and level on Bing)

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Ever forget a word right when you need to use it? Like when a camera is running? Lol. I got the "PLUMB" message...Hate it when I call "Diesel Fuel" "Gas" on camera too....Thank you though and Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@rob36612]

[@bgvlogs9875]

[@thomasprotzman7374]

[@ThePeterbiltrucker]

Looking good , FYI for others thinking about building a pole barn , if you dig a hole largest end of pole goes into ground , if you drive a pole small end into ground

[@erikturner8687]

Nice and “plumb” guys!

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Thanks Fer Stopping by again Glenn...-Rick

[@mikeyhayles5544]

Looking good guys. Can't wait for the fire engine vid.

[@SHALIKTEX1031]

Hey Rick, There should be a hydraulic tamper on that truck somewhere to pack the rocks around the poles. Or the truck we used to set electric poles that was just like that one did. Might ask your friend.

[@122funny4]

I have been following this channel from years ago when you were in the old place with your trucks. The first video i saw was of a walk behind 1940's tractor can't remember the make, it must have been atleast 5 years ago, i'm really happy to see your huge progress with the new ranch. Best wishes my friends and may the god be with you! Don't forget to pet Annabbella and hug Jamie!

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

That was 8-Years ago.....you have been watchin' for a long time. thank you. Still got that Old David-Bradley...and it still runs. Thank you for bearing with my old stuff. -Rick

[@madmantrucker]

Looking good lol I’m getting excited for you both lol keep the videos coming

[@marvinlamb8591]

I would be happy back in the seventies for those trucks too. I built a lot of pole buildings with brute strength.

[@Nudnik1]

cable on auger shaft used to lift and lower drill as it shaft rotates as a winch ... careful under Neath . Two speed motor allows dirt to spin off. Reverse drill to drill through asphalt so it doesn't pull up pavement. Had one of these digger Derrick s for years setting poles.I also made a 20fr jib on end to pick trusses . You may want to put concrete in a few corner pole to stiffen and keep it structure square.

[@davekauffman8727]

I started smoking when I was 15, smoked 17 years, then quit in 2002 when I fell in love with a non-smoker. Smoke-free for 16 years, it was a tough fight, but our Lord helped me win that war. Much love from NY, brother Rick, keep up the good work.

[@fender5247]

Great video rick I’m glad to see your shop going up I would definitely help you if I could may God bless you and your family

[@northstar2007]

[@labisel]

Nice Job Jamie and rick. Lets keep the Vids coming. Good Luck

[@markbauman1411]

[@glennhunter7018]

Good video again I like your videos glad to see your shop come up looking good Be safe my friend tell everybody I said hi

[@reginalddavenport4417]

You mean plumb. Reginald from Creswell NC. Been watching videos for about 3 months now. Enjoy watching them.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Thank you Reginald. Yup....yer right.....or maybe level is a good answer too.

[@Jono.P]

Love the International S chasis still putting in work

[@scottt8424]

Hey Rick hey Jamie love you both and I love the music that you play there when you're showing nature and all of your videos 2

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Thank you Scott and Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@57gmc]

Very cool, good progress rick!

[@oldtimeengineer26]

good job folks

[@robertpitkanen4194]

New to your videos. You guy's rock. God bless a fan from Montana

[@cliffcollins4124]

Just a little Tip that may help you nail/tack, a bit of straight timber on to the side of the post as you drop them down the hole point that board along the line of the building. It's far easier to sight along that, to get your posts square, to the side of the shed. So your top middle and bottom plates, sit flat against the sides of the posts when it come to bolting them together. Hope you understand what I am trying to explain.

[@jkajje2945]

Keep up the good work Rick Love CTR

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Thank you...and Thanks Fer Watchin'...-Rick

[@olspanner]

Well done guys, lookin good

[@mjmcomputers]

You are making great progress. Keep up the good work.

[@tedbownas2748]

Looking good! If you grab your posts a little closer to the top, they will hang closer to vertical, and it'll be easier to get them in the holes.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

True story Ted....took us a few posts to learn that...Thank you. -Rick

[@davessmallenginerevival2847]

This is a great thing👍😃 You 2 make a good team

[@TheMrShinagami]

Hi Rick, It's great to see the workshop starting to take shape. If I wasn't so far away (London England) I'd be there to help you out. I only recently discovered your channel and I'm working through your old videos but wanted to say I think what you guys do is great. Also congrats on the stopping smoking, I've lost count but I think it's 5 or 6 years since I quit and it's still the best decision I ever made.

[@jowanbray182]

I was also thinking I wish I could come help if I also wasn't so far away (Cornwall England).

[@mark-wh2qc]

Good to see some other Brits subscribed..

[@Mr.Humphrey60]

Great job 🇺🇸

[@joedorcas]

Glad that your building is coming along. Beavers look content with you being so close. Have been "chomping at the bit" sorta speak for another video.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Thank you..seriously......and Thanks Fer Watchin'...-Rick

[@samuelbacon1596]

Rich nice to see the building. Going up.!!!!!!! Three things. You need to go get one is a Hard hat. For the boss lady. Just in case. The pole gets. Away from you. A real good screw gun and a big box of 3" inch and 2" screw. For all your temporary brace's you"ll have to do. Also you neeed a big level 6' or 4' would be great!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Am a carpenter by traded. Or get a straight 2x4 eight footer. Tape the level to the straight edge for your level. That's the cheap way. Go good luck with the building. JUNKMANDO

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

I'll get her a hard-hat if you quit calling me Rich..Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

Looking good Rick good work my friend. Rick going to email you on the blue Ford need a price.

[@chevylandt.v]

Hey Rick in the beginning of the video I thought grumpy had a dump bed but I had to look closer and I saw the bullfrog in the background haha he would look cool with one

[@yodawunn6700]

Rick, I really appreciate your passion for the 55-59 Chevy and GMC trucks and you don't limit yourself to half ton shortbeds. I love the big workhorse trucks too. Are you interested in a one owner 57 Chevy 5700 with a tar spreader? Solid COE with only 38k miles. Let me know and I'll relay the info.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

[e-mail]

[@MrMarkpoole]

I don't doubt that you're getting a lot of smoke from the fires,but you are definitely getting all of it. I live in the northern part of the central valley,and our summer has been cooler than normal because the smoke is blocking so much of the sun. I'm not washing my cars until the fires are out because they just turn gray the next day.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

I know...got a new car-cover for the Lincoln...but can't put it on without washing and waxing first....I feel the pain... Thanks Fer Watchin'...-Rick

[@lomaspeete1374]

HI RICK AND JAMIE GREAT GOOD JOB YOU SETUP POLE BARN SHOP AND CONGRATS

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Good to hear from you again Andre...we're still trudging forward. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@jdmeaux]

Rick, Jamie is way too cute NOT to put her in almost every video. She is a great help to you, I can tell. Love her, man, for eternity. Moe

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Jamie has a career of her own. So I'm just thankful for the time she spends helping me. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@tommydntn1]

Nice videos like it when you and your wife work together

[@dongoodman6260]

U 3 are the Best

[@oldschool6345]

Rick check out RR buildings on you tube. Binge watch a little. Some of it wont aplly to you, but he has a great way of chaining his building to secure it and uses the chains to pull/keep it straight. Pole buildings are all he does i believe, and he is a master with them. Full of good info for you.

[@oldschool6345]

He is very organized and gets a lot done with a small crew. A lot of his techniques are especially useful to someone like you trying to do a lot of it by yourself or with one other person..

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Thank you OLD SCHOOL and Thanks Fer Watchin'. Always willing to learn from someone who's done it before.-Rick

[@andywilkinson3792]

Hi rick another good video as normal u got your work cut out for you at the moment. Glad to see it all coming along those cranes are a bit off a pain to get them set up by your self. But looks like you doing a great job. How come you not concreting the posts in or u leaving that bit out. The was nice to see you both put the first posted in thow keep the videos coming great job. From Andy in UK

[@Santiago-iv7oi]

God Bless..👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

You as well. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@kennethtibbitts6641]

drink lots of water RICK it`s looking great

[@KevinJohnson-fx6wq]

PS To be hnest I would have liked to see you brace the poles as you went because replumbing the poles can cause a slight deviation in their locations. Really hope it works out though.

[@LawnMowersThingsThatMakeNoise]

Keep hydrated :-) your not radiator and water cooled like the machines and trucks are :-)

[@shartne]

You got it going on now. Is that your pole truck your using to set the post with?

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Not mine. A very good friend had the trucks and said I was welcome to use them if I could get them working again.

[@LawnMowersThingsThatMakeNoise]

Jamie the heron bird is seeking out fish to eat from the river or tributary :-)

[@vetterfellow]

To all who have quit smoking or thinking about it. If your reading this and are a smoker go to the next comment, this will just fall on deaf ears, I know I was there !!!. I quit 35 years ago. I quit cold turkey. This was my second attempt. What I've learned from the first attempt was, hate smoking. Keep back from the smell, run if you have to. Also don't smoke just one !!!!. this is what got me. one !!! - started my excuses, well just keep a pack out in the car, one after meals only, on and on. Just DON'T smoke ONE !!!!. JUST THAT SIMPLE. Not easy but - SIMPLE !!. Good Luck all. PS. The urges don't stop only gradually subside.
