As a man that struggles with ADHD and CDO (that's OCD but in alphabetical order) this was one of the most therapeutic videos I've seen in quite a while! Great video!

[@DonnDIY]

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.👍🙏

[@PatrickKQ4HBD]

I'm glad someone else knows the proper order! 😂

Yep, CDO it is. Good to see more that understands it 😁

Every time i watch one of your video, I say "this man is crazy"... that's so impressive ! And always attention to details... thank you, Sir !!

[@ohhpaul7364]

What a nice trip down memory lane. I remember talking with you about something for replacing the concrete floor. I had watched all the videos until then and some after then youtube decided I had too many subscriptions and removed a bunch of channels from my subscribed list. It took me two years before I realized they had removed you from my list, been here ever since I realized it and came back. Thanks for making videos to share with us, Donn. It is never a bad thing to make people dream.

[@PatrickKQ4HBD]

I've had the same thing happen to me.

Old dairy barns have a certain miasma that never quite fades away. Nicely done. Thank you for sharing. Wish you well.

[@alituncoz9975]

You are a very hard-working and intelligent individual. I congratulate you from the bottom of my heart. I look forward to each of your new videos. Good luck.

[@valdis7663]

Donn, you're doing great, I admire you, your hard work, patience and accuracy. Many will envy such a workshop. The workshop has been transformed, it has become bright, beautiful, there is more space. It remains only to work in it, create new projects, shoot new videos and please us, your subscribers. Thank you for the sea of positivity, I watched in one breath without looking up from the screen. All the best to you. Peace, kindness and love to all.

[@DonnDIY]

Thank you for the support. I really appreciate it.🙏

[@fredericrike5974]

I remember how unlikely it seemed something as complex as a sawmill could be built in the "shop that was". Always a better day for visiting Donn's workshop! Even the reruns are original!

[@DonnDIY]

Thanks. Sorry for the rerun. Had to remind myself (in the midst of the frustration of projects not fitting in the workshop anymore) that at one point it was my dream workshop.😀

[@vanDeudekom]

Donny this Old Man has so much respect for you, hard work never stops you. I wish you all the best for the future.

[@DonnDIY]

[@downtoearthconstruction]

Very satisfying to watch I really dig that metal cabinet with the swinging shelves.

[@AW-Services]

Massively expensive build but of the highest quality and also comfort to fight off Estonian winters. So many valuable skillsets Donn. Nice to see someone who does periodic ABC dry powder fire extinguisher shakes to prevent clumping

[@DonnDIY]

I built the workshop pre-covid and milled my own lumber. The total cost of this workshop build was around 3500 EUR.

[@AW-Services]

@DonnDIY you've done incredibly well with that budget. Hats off to you Donn

[@horstszibulski19]

I think I was almost with you when you showed that build, if not before...time flies... Thx for the look back! 👍👍👍

Просто оболденно, когда старый гараж превращается в в что-то совершенно новое и современное. Часто, работая в таких условиях просто привыкаешь к этой черноте вокруг, к выщербленным стенам и грязи везде. Тебя это тихонько гложет, но изменить что-то - значит впрячься в серьезные переделки и затратить кучу времени зачастую без промежуточного результата. Стройка всегда выглядит не эстетично, и кажется конца и края ей нет. Но когда доводишь дело до конца - вот тут просто эмоциональный оргазм, особенно если результат превосходит твои ожидания. По себе знаю. Респект, золотые руки.

[@DonnDIY]

I always love that anything you build, you do it right and not half assed like so many other people. Great watching it all. I had to slow the video down because you was going way to fast lol

[@hugolafhugolaf]

Of the most amazing vids I’ve seen in a long time!

[@LariFariYoutube]

Woohooo..this must have been more than 1000 clips.. Thats an immense amount of work, to film and edit all the footage.. Not to mention the workshop build itself.. I am in the process of doing the same, since April this year. But filming would delay the workflow too much.. So hats off, that you managed to do all of this hard labor and filming it.. In the end, it paied off.. Greets from Austria.

[@DonnDIY]

You can definitely double the time spent when also filming the work process. And you're right - it is definitely getting in the way of workflow.

[@LariFariYoutube]

Thats one major misunderstanding which people have, who dont make youtube videos...They always say "put a camera in the corner and film yor self..easy as pie".. I think 80 % of the audience have no imagination, what it takes, to makes such videos.. Or as John Heisz says..nothing is easy as it looks like... Anyway.. Well done, my friend, well done..@@DonnDIY

[@Bret4207]

Seems like every old dairy barn in the world looks about the same after 75-100 years of use! Well done!

[@DonnDIY]

It does indeed.👍

[@Mikefestiva]

Wow Donn you put in an incredible amount of effort into your shop! 👍 What year was the original structure built? I always enjoy the Skateboard shots 😊👍 Thanks for sharing this with us!

[@DonnDIY]

First ever mention of this farm/homestead was back in 1790, the building itself is from the eighteen-hundreds. It has been rebuilt in different ways many times. Last time after the WW-s when it was partly destroyed.

[@Mikefestiva]

@@DonnDIY Wow pretty amazing Donn! Thanks for letting me know. That always fascinates me the age of things in Europe, lots of history. Out where I live in the North West there’s not many structures that date back very much, probably the oldest still standing structure is a lighthouse built in 1857, besides that most structures where built around 1890 and later.
