We live in southeastern Illinois on a 41 acre homestead. We just finished building our log cabin in 2018. Now we are focused on trying to grow our own food and raise livestock. Follow us on our journey we continue to develop our homestead and farm, while becoming more self sufficient.

[@jackmargason2594]

"Hey honey what about a week at the beach!". Evan: "I have a better idea...." Not surprising with you two working machines. Looking good.

[@vinnythemooch4158]

You are a very lucky guy to have a wife that works along side of you. She is a keeper for sure.

[@johnsadler8637]

Looking good, guys! I know what you mean about vacation being work. My sister and I do projects on the farm for our vacations and wear our tails out, but it’s so gratifying to get them done. So yeah, it’s worth it. I agree with someone else here about renting a scissor lift for that ceiling. That much ladder work is risky, and more so when fatigue kicks in.

[@markfin7225]

The shop is almost like home. Kitchen, bath, heat, water…it sure looks nice. Well done, you two.

[@frankdank7507]

You keep making fun of her tape reading skills, and you're going to find yourself living in that barn......... By yourself! LOL!

[@sherry2836]

I really enjoy watching you both work on your projects. Seeing someone build or create, bringing their visions to life and function is enjoyable to watch. Hard work for you including filming and editing, but great entertainment for us. Thank you!

[@Tomhohenadel]

Lots of progress Evan. You and Rebecca make a great team. The high walls are impressive. Put another log on the fire

[@chrispowell8490]

Love watching you two, you are both hard working go get it done...Team work makes your dream work!!!

[@deannaoverstreet4146]

Evan you will have to return to work to get some rest! Looks great! You and Rebekah do an amazing job!

[@jakeschisler7525]

I would imagine that lumber was expensive but since you needed it doesn't matter. Putting plastic sheeting up first then the metal and blown insulation. Watch R&R Buildings these 2 guys up in northern Illinois build some fantastic buildings

[@stevenbrooks7965]

Some people are addicted to drugs, Evan is addicted to hard work

[@ahnilatedahnilated7703]

Evan! Eye protection doesn't help a lot when it is on your hat!

[@terencelee2386]

Watch R&R Buildings! All kinds of information on installing sheet metal and more!! Please! Rent a scissor lift! Please!! Putting sheet metal overhead on a ceiling can be very dangerous! Love you two!

[@stevehawkins8066]

I worked construction as an electrician for over 15 years and I never seen anyone cut the bottom plate for the door openings before they stood up the wall. Putting that temporary strap in to keep that wall straight was a great idea instead of cutting the bottom plate later. Thanks for letting us watch you and Rebecca put those walls up. Great video.

[@OpunktSchmidt1301]

It's good that you have a nail-gun. Just imagine that you had to use a hammer for all this... 😖 Great teamwork! Thanks a lot for the video! 😊👍🏻

[@rkthing55]

You two are quite the team...fun to watch!

[@jamescantwell572]

I see your one year ago video brother keep up your video brother. 4 _ 1_ 2023 👍👍👏

[@peggysizemore4207]

a lot of hard work….enjoy the journey…..you will see the fruits of your labor…..lookin good

[@deannamarie4149]

Vacation isn't always about rest. Self satisfaction has its own pay off... I am looking forward to CVA vision !!! Rebecca... It was fun hearing him quiz you on your cutting skills. Maybe you could throw some Nursing lingo at him... Lol

[@redhawk4859]

Or cooking skills

[@robertwilliams7723]

Another great video! You two work so well together, which wonderful to watch!

[@gmoncrieff]

Hire a drywall lift or scissor lift

[@ahfgebla5379]

Just a suggestion: adding 2 “windows” on the wall separating the workshop. It would give more light and would be useful to check if you left the light on or if Rebekah is looking for you by just opening the barn door. Otherwise you will need to go to the workshop every time.

[@davem3325]

yes, i would add some windows as well!

[@01glennie]

Make sure Evan that you hire a scissor lift to put up that tin sheet on the ceiling, make life easier, not harder on yourself.

[@mikedadoffour]

Probably some of the realest people I've found on KZbin.

[@joannak4640]

Working on your land is what is needed to get where you want it to be. You are doing fabulous 👍 Looking forward to the next video. Hopefully sooner rather than later. I'm wondering if it wouldn't be worth it to rent a lift to put all of the ceiling up. Love your videos and what you are doing to make your future on the farm/homestead become a business for you ❤️

[@sidelinerbeekeeper]

You guys are doing an awesome job, envious of the mega shop, planning my own building now. Headers are only needed for structural support, being there is no weight supported on that wall above the doorway, a header wasn't needed.

[@teenagefarmer]

Looks good

[@robertafazio3449]

What a great working relationship you two have! I always measured with quarter inch and 3 little lines myself!! Looking good in there, and the results will be warm and functional. Love watching you two.

[@nigelwright4796]

Hi Evan you should really put what we call noggins between the studs,as a fire brake, you get a workshop fire (not unheard of my friend) it’ll go top to bottom straight to the roof area.

[@ronaldsimmons8346]

yup, what he has there is basically a balloon frame.

[@AfterTheRains]

Another lazy holiday for you both! 😎

[@markhudspeth8503]

Love it

[@bobjoncas2814]

...looks great, comin' along nicely. good work, keep safe...

[@kevink2831]

Evan a great video and you both have worked so hard getting the workshop ready, it will look so good when its done and be nice and warm, well done and best wishes to you both..

[@markpriddy1]

Good Job

[@MurphyMower]

Enjoyed watching

[@derekadams729]

Everything is coming together for you both. That's hard work for you and Becca. Don't wear yourselves out and get sick. God bless.

[@stuartsplace100]

Hi Evin,shop is looking good.

[@georgemoomaw9437]

Have a nice work space you say? HAVE A NICE WORK SPACE??? That must be the mother of all understatements. A work space that makes everyone watching green with envy is not just a “nice” work space. As President Biden would say …… common man.

[@Tonetwisters]

Latest video from the Malone Dirt Boys, Field Rows channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6ndnp-gjLqFjqc

[@davelundberg1320]

Watching the videos...thanks for making. I am about to start a similar project where I split my pole barn in half to also allow for heating the half. I see you spray foamed the outside walls. Happy with that? Also, I am in Central MN which is probably a bit colder than but similar. I was initially contemplating a 2x6 wall to allow for more insulation. Are you happy with the 2x4s?

[@mathiggins4264]

Looking good guys be safe out there your buddy from NE

[@BethS55]

Looking Good!!

[@Overpar73]

Looking really nice, good teamwork! I can hardly wait to start on my building (56x112x16), after the weather turns off nice, several more months to go?

[@oldthudman]

Why are you putting a ceiling up........I certainly would make an access for storage....

[@bryangiffin9695]

Big job but boy would I love to be the one doing it. Love the videos and keeping track of your projects and accomplishments.......

[@therabster1995]

Fantastic work as always

[@g.r.4853]

I hope you can find a big industrial sheet rock lift to rent for that ceiling. Where I am, I think I got them (many yrs ago) from Taylor, and they were big electro-hydraulic with wheelbarrow sized tires. I forget how high they went, 20-25 feet it seems, took half a day to assemble and tear down. Today they are probably battery powered hovercraft type. I also think they would handle 20 foot sheets, but I've been retired over a decade now so remember little about them and they may not even exist anymore.

[@johnsadler8637]

Hey Evan - appears you have a spammer bot replying to comments. Name Agnez or something like that. Might be NSFW.

[@jasonmcbride4331]

She going to kick that ladder out from under you if u keep picking on her math skills 😂😂😂👊👊 Looks good in the new pole barn . Stay Safe & God bless

[@walterberg8030]

Hint >> We make 2x4 straighteners constructed as one 4' 2x4, plus two 2' 2x4s screwed on the end, to look like a tuning fork. Leave the end screws a little loose so not to be tight. Works great. We call it "Mr. Bender" lol.

[@jeanielipskey1272]

Evan, you sound like my husband! always making me think about the math. LOL Good job, you are sure getting it done. Will be alot nicer when it holds the heat.

[@setholson6550]

You need a lift for the ceiling and save your arms and backs. I bet if you asked you would have folks on here that would love to spend a day helping you for a visit and lunch. It’s looking so nice will be wonderful when finished. Are the dogs enjoying their space? Any snow yet? Susan

[@bevnelson3678]

Awesome. Great work. Rebekah watching you with that staple gun wow you must be so 💪. Awesome

[@patriciabeyer7824]

Good morning. Who says you don't need math? Every day. 😁 It's going to be nice when it's done. Good work!! 👍👍

[@terrycastor8299]

"Don't mess with Nurse Rebecca. I've seen her with a nail gun and she knows how to use it! Imagine her with a injection gun! "💉 I'm envious of that pole barn. I'm trying to get an estimate on a garage, but we don't have room for anything close to anything as large as that. If I can't get someone to shoot me a price, I'll build the darn thing myself.

[@Tonetwisters]

Not an expert here, but some PINK in that big wall with the garage door, might help hold the heat in ... Rebekah was just chattering away with those fractions ...

[@richxts1357]

Did you mention in the past that Rebbeca is an RN? She's one strong little cookie! Great to see her helping you!

[@CountryViewAcres]

Yes she is an RN

[@joelink7665]

Wow you guys have been busy and it looks great......how big was the 2nd mortgage so you could buy all that lumber? hahaha. prices are so crazy and still going up

[@davep5972]

What can you say but you guys knocked it out of the park again. Great job the workshop is really coming together just be careful both of you try not to injure yourselves.

[@brucemartini2288]

best thig about doing on yoour own, is being able to say, "I DID/BUILT THAT"😏

[@judge058]

I don’t know what you’re planning for a ceiling material but whatever it is consider renting or buying a Sheetrock lift. Worth its weight in gold.

[@nickmastroianni5557]

Doubtful you will get it all finished on your "vacation.". So, I suggest you knock off early on the 7th day and relax or go out to dinner. You folks have earned it.

[@barnsleytresurehunter]

This is brilliant well done

[@silkedavid8876]

Looking forward to the next part!

[@nealpurdy1202]

I hope you have a drywall lift for those sheets of metal or something similar. Looking great Evan and Rebecca

[@jacobedecruz5350]

I just fell in love with your house. I saw all the playlist videos. I wonder if you can tell us how much you need for a house like that by countrymark. Tks!

[@roelofhansma2157]

beautiful and confusing to see how people talk about measuring and calculating a size, I think then, we have it easy with millimeters, in the rest of the world.

[@barbarathomas8472]

2 thumbs up for rebecka .she really works hard.with you. She make it work .I see a lot of other women on KZbin with there husbands.and don't try to help him out or try to learn how to do .she's #1 in my book.and you do a great job too and she has a outside job on top of this. I like to see couples work together.

[@andrewl7467]

Luckily 1/16 more than a 1/2 didn’t mean throwing a tape measure at you standing on the ladder.

[@robertbennett6697]

I get a kick of watching Rebecca work....simply whatever it takes to get it done,

[@Tonetwisters]

Here in north Florida, we've had some temps that were close to yours! You've accomplished a lot in the new pole barn! Congrats!

[@WichhartAcres]

Nice work! You guys are getting me motivated for our build this spring!

[@davidwestervelt6050]

Well done! I don t enjoy ladders as much as I use too. Hopefully you get a wide lift to help you get the sheets on the ceiling with. One that you can Strech out pretty far. I am sure you will be glad when that done. Looks great and can't wait till it get warm in there!

[@ZrubekFamily]

just change it to 1/16th. 1/2 equals 8/16 and so on, makes much simpler

[@alanvaleandthelazyfarmer1930]

Don't forget to brace the bottom of the truss sideways (up to the roof) with two or three two by fours. I have to admire your neatness and accuracy. That's the engineer coming out or perhaps a little OCD???

[@loganh6736]

Evan put a couple of box fans at the bottom of the rafters to bring that heat out of the rafters to the floor you’ll enjoy the added heat at body level as time goes on you maybe adding more attractive fans later on but these will do as you build. I’ve done this to shops that had high ceilings that I worked in in my life time just turn them on low to start

[@mikejohnson3755]

Careful making fun of her tape measure reading abilities. You still need her. 😂

[@kathymcgathy9716]

Rent or buy a sheet rock lift. It makes life much easier when doing a ceiling.

[@davidbondy4359]

evan rent a scissor lift it will make it 100% safer and easer and faster for you and the wife,god bless work smart and safe.

[@josephbrown-ut9ty]

JudithB Greatest thing I did here on the new homestead was install a hot tub!!! You need to add one to your lower patio, so you can soak out the soreness while bbqing dinner. I use a box fan to blow the air around the woodstove after my ceiling fan quit. That shop is looking super!!!

[@ardenehanson2840]

Why dont you rent one of those ceiling ja c kz they use for drywall. It would be safer for you!

[@lewisgardner1660]

I dread to think how many nails I have put in over the years with bostich nail guns it will be quite a few million that’s for sure

[@ronaldsimmons8346]

looking good. Don't forget to add a vapor barrier to the non-foam walls and ceilings.

[@johnmenz148]

The new workshop is coming along great guys! So does your wood stove in the shop have a blower in it?

[@davesmathers1990]

Wow what a great job you need to teach some of these other people how to build like you good job evan.

[@joshbutterfass5251]

Your shed project is more important than your job why not just retire before your job puts you in your grave and also you’ll have more time done projects that need to get done around your house

[@Robe999]

As always Evan , Awesome teamwork , I don’t know how you do it , it’s funny your trying to keep in the heat , here in Perth we are having a heatwave 🙏

[@richardsummers9009]

Don't see the 1st pole in your Framed Barn 🙄🤔😱!!

[@FreeAmerican]

Beautiful and great with construction. You are a lucky man.

[@andredelauniere4093]

do you guys have any ears protection while working with nail gun and saw...

[@jerrywoodlee2345]

Any woman that gets in there and helps her husband like your wife does is a good woman

[@theBakersonafewacres]

5:20 don't beat on the nut, thread it down so you hit the wedge anchor. I've bent the threads and couldn't tighten it up, or loosen it. The top of those anchors are made to hit them.

[@danne77sthlm]

You two together, is like machines, you are working so hard and it looks so good, I get so many dreams in my head when I see you doing all this :D

[@jamesharless5357]

Looks great, nice shop! Love the team work!👍🏻

[@Farm_fab]

It's good to see the progress you are making in there. It should serve you well.

[@EC4400]

Wow! You guys have really been busy. Great progress.

[@andysukosd8177]

Your going to have a wonderful shop, love watching.

[@bncakitas576]

Evan DO NOT 😊 make fun of Rebecca she is one heck of a worker!

[@joycemetheny8338]

Anyone who can make it thru pharmacology can dang sure learn to read a ruler !

[@southern207hobbies]

Evan please for the love of God build a out feed table to that table saw! It's very dangerous that way
