Finishing Touches on the New Barn

Merch: 10thgeneration...
Thank You!

[@ileenmcminn2062]

sure surprised me when you pulled out a hat! I was expecting a soda!

[@ardurbin2]

So was I, Eric like to surprise us! 😊

That is a nice barn 👍 we are cutting second cutting hay I am 13 and learning how to do it have a nice day

[@conradweber6165]

Yeah

[@alabamacoastie6924]

Conrad - Become a good farmer like Eric and his dad, you will have done well.

[@franssikkema2273]

Maybe you should put some big tiles or stone under the end of your rainwater drainpipe. To prevent the soil from eroding.

That was awesome. I think he stole that move from either the Welker Farms or the Stradman. Lol

Eric, What an unbelievable extremely nice barn, luxury for the cows. You should literally get an award for such a beautiful barn!

[@patricianewton1417]

I can’t wait to see how the heifers respond to their new accommodations. They should love it. You take such good care of everything; the barn will last forever. Much love and respect from Georgia.

[@magpie5710]

What a beautiful barn. Loved watching the whole build. Thanks for the great video.

[@corgraveland4874]

Well Eric & family, a well designed and very well constructed new barn! The result a very functional and pretty barn, being a luxury for the cows and nice place to work for you as a farmer. Congrats!

[@andrejohnson1703]

Some good advice, go ahead and set the water trough heaters up now and test (summer or not)...

[@Budd56]

And it's a lot cleaner now😁😁

[@andrejohnson1703]

@@Budd56 Yes, lolll

[@8tomtoms8]

I agree. Most likely the waterers are on their own GFI breaker in the panel. So Eric could plug all the heaters in, test them, then turn off the breaker in the panel. Then on that first freezing cold, dreary night, they can turn on the breaker and all the water is warm. Sure beats crawling around on the cold concrete and manure trying to get them all functional.

[@mikeysky8917]

What do these heaters look like? It’s something we don’t use here in the UK but should. Might be something to implement in our next project.

[@robertgorsett1586]

i see why your channel is growing. You are a good editor and have good content for folks that like dairy/farming vids.

[@danfinley3690]

That barn is beautiful the troughs are looking good easy access if needed

[@rickhammer1905]

The new barn sure looks nice. Thank you to you and your dad for filming the building of it from start to finish. It is something how everything comes together.

[@karencary3312]

Looks so pristine but not for long. Looks very nice. Hope your cows appreciate their new accommodations. God bless.

[@KarlM74]

Exciting times to see it all come together! You'll have to update your channel profile picture soon as the layout of the farm has evolved! Really like my hat and shirt. Glad to support a family farm! Thank you for all you and your family do.

[@KyleMorpheus]

Very nice barn! One suggestion that might save you some headache in the future is adding some riprap rock on that sloped section of dirt you have the drain pipe emptying on for the roof gutters. This will help with erosion control.

[@Lukelins1]

Concrete race way. Worth the investment.

[@billyminihan901]

Excellent work guys...

[@loisblais3431]

Congratulations! Great barn build, and I am looking forward to seeing the cattle move in. Blessings to all your family.

[@aprilbecker686]

Thank you for your farming support and supporting the yearlings. Every yearling will probably enjoy the new barn.

[@raymonddixon1609]

For a young guy you have a very good work ethic. We love watching your videos they are very informative regarding the way barns are built and work. Keep them coming.👍👍👍👍👍

I'm glad they're almost done with our barn! God Bless!

I can’t believe how fast everything was built!

[@lightbulb1982]

How long would you expect it to take to build a building like that? lol

[@john34261]

@@lightbulb1982 i'd say a month or 2 maybe 2.5 months? then depending on the weather if it rains alot or a mild storm they would need to stop temporarily increasing the time to finish construction

Just in case you feel like you’re not getting enough advice. When you double clamp, the clamps should oppose (2:30).

[@Trey4x4]

Explain more...

[@jonharris3476]

@@Trey4x4 it provides opposite tension from the clamps as they don't apply the torsion perfectly evenly around the circumference of the clamp.

[@michaelfilipelli2968]

Nice work!! Love watching all the progress!!

[@tehroller]

You know you're going to kick yourself for not installing the heaters now and getting it out of the way! New build looks awesome! Can't wait to pick up a shirt when you start shipping to canada.

[@Navebackwards1]

I was thinking the same thing. Just plug it in now so you don't have to drain and turn the water off.

[@geertvaneyken9537]

Not to mention the fact that now you can do it while everything is still clean.

[@NancyTroutman]

Yep, easier to do it without the critter's helping later on.

[@SuperDave44Mag]

Sounds like an idea maybe you could fund them with all that money you’re talking about. It’s easy to say isn’t it?

[@harveystephens6115]

Guess they waiting to do it in icy drizzly cold day when it gets so cold you can’t feel your fingers Now when easier and be done with it.

[@kanakamaoli9642]

That barn came up so fast, thanks for all that footage along the way, it's like we were there with you. Oh yeah I got my shirts they are great, Thanks Eric🤙🏼🙏

[@edp9743]

Its always nice to put a date on installs like the waters, and a plaque would be a great addition to the building! wont be long now. also a map of where the utilities run underground, maybe drawn in the rafters.

[@tidelovinyankee1368]

That's what I call a gutter. That barn looks terrific and is beautifully thought out. The anti-bird netting to keep the birds out of the rafters is something which will pay long term dividends. Slick how you pulled that merch hat out. Gotta love it.

[@step2191]

Looking great Eric! Hope your dad's having a good time on vacation. Can't wait to see the new barn in action.

[@isaacmills5002]

In our heifer barn which is almost identical we put 4x6 blocks at the top corner of the gate where it latches. Before we put the blocks in we had a couple heifers stand on the concrete behind the headlocks slip and fall and get tight between the post and gate.

[@asquithmainlines699]

I think if it was me I would apply a good layer of flexible caulking around the bottom of those water bowls against the cement. It looked like there was a seal but they never do the job they are supposed to. That way the interior and the electrical will stay moisture free and prevent rust and corrosion years down the road. Easier to do it now when it is clean and dry.

[@Bdogzz]

2 vids in 2 days? Woot!

[@WireWeHere]

"Not a Toilet" signs to prevent the confusion we thought didn't exist.

[@ericgroat626]

Nice barn and good idea with piping around the waterers to keep the heifers from standing in them.

Great job on the barn looks great , I ordered your hat for my dad who has dementia he has always loved hats but your hat he will not let anyone touch or take off his head the staff at the nursing home says they take it off and put it on his nightstand and they leave his room and he puts it back on his head I’ll be ordering another hat for him when you get more in stock awesome hats everyone should own one

We have that same waterer in our barn, YIU have to be carful though when you put the plug in, you have to put it in all the way. Once it wasn’t put in all the way and our whole barn was flooded.

[@MrTefe]

It has been really fun following the build of the barn

[@downhilltwofour0082]

I'm a little surprised to see that electrical outlet so close to the water source at 6:10. Might be a serious source of electrical shock. Look like a standard non-GFCI outlet with a plastic cover. It may meet code but I wouldn't want that.

[@scottikus73]

I'd bet the breaker is gfci since the location of the outlet is hard to access.

[@SuperDave44Mag]

Not an issue given the gfci

[@2aminitials]

Even though those waterers use stainless fasteners I'd still use anti seize and then a coating of Fluid Film. If you ever need to fix a waterer it's going to be on the coldest day when you're tired. Hardware that isn't froze up will expedite the process of fixing them.

[@dice3704]

I'm so looking forward to your new barn like its my own ! Happy cows =happy $$$
