Getting CLOSER - Working Hard To GET READY For The Sheathing And The SIPs

In this video, we are working to get up more girts, work on blocking, setting the front door posts, and the window posts. Greg had a great crew again with his dad, Beth's dad and Erik all there to help get us closer to getting ready for sheathing and the SIPs that are coming very soon.
It definitely feels like the space is coming together will all of these new boards added!
We are building our barndominium - barn house out of wood that we are milling on our own sawmill. If you haven't followed along with our BARN Build, (which is now our barn house build) make sure to check out that series in our playlists. We finished the first slab last summer, we milled most of the timbers needed over this past winter/spring, added plumbing, put in a second slab for our garage and now we have started building our barndominium - barnhouse - lodge - our home, with 8 bents going up being the latest excitement! Now, we are working on securing the bents and adding to the structure.
Here's the video where all 8 bents are put up in one day- it was pretty amazing:
• It's FINALLY Time To B...
Here's the video where we share our change in plans and decide to turn our barn into our home:
• EVERYTHING Had To CHAN...
Here is the video where we share our barn plans. Our plans are from ‪‪‪‪‪‪‪‪‪‪‪‪‪‪‪‪‪‪‪‪‪@BarnGeek‬ . We are excited to build one of his beautiful barns and turn it into our home:
• Why Do We Think WE CAN...
***We are also so excited to have completed our sawmill cover enclosure (sawmill shed). Definitely check out our Sawmill Playlist to watch it all happen. We have shared the process of building our sawmill cover from the very beginning. We have a Woodland Mills HM130 Max sawmill and we live in North Idaho. The sawmill cover / sawmill shed is vital to continue milling for our barn build in the winter months, but it will also be a great way to keep out of the sun during the summer months, and of course all of the rain, in between!
Here is a link to the video that shares the sawmill cover / sawmill shed build from start to finish:
• Sawmill Cover Build - ...
Here are the specs on the sawmill cover / sawmill shed we built:
3 posts in the front
4 posts in the back
Overall dimensions are 15 feet wide by 36 feet long
Longest beam is 28 feet
Front part of the lean to roof is 11'9" and back is 8'
It will have a 3 :12 pitch
Posts and beams are going to be 7 1/2" x 7 1/2"
We have shared the entire build!

Getting Closer - Working Hard To Get Ready For The Sheathing And The Sips
September 2024

[@ourdreaminthewoods]

So happy to have family here to help again - we know we couldn't build this home without the help of our family and friends and we are so grateful. We are getting closer to getting the sheathing up (next week!!!) and we are working hard to make sure this structure is ready! Hope you enjoy this video! 😁

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

You have to stand back & be proud of what you have milled over the last year ❤, Looks awesome my friend 👍

[@ourdreaminthewoods]

Thank you- For some reason I have a disconnect from the building and the Timbers we milled - just seems unreal that we created this out of trees that were standing a couple of years ago! 😊

[@billelsener6192]

I think your commend about the strength of your structure is right on. I’m sure you’re anxious to get it closed in so the future winter weather won’t interfere with the building. You are blessed with great family & friends support team. 😊

[@ourdreaminthewoods]

Thank you, Bill- super anxious, hoping the weather stays nice for us for a bit! Very grateful for our family and friends. 😊

[@tgilmore2080]

WOW...just wow. Well done- good to have family and friends too.

[@ourdreaminthewoods]

Thank you! Yes-super grateful to have family so close! 😊

[@deana1848]

It’s really taking shape! Excited for next steps! 🎉

[@ourdreaminthewoods]

Thank you! 😊

[@deana1848]

That window is going to be beautiful!

[@ourdreaminthewoods]

Thank you- we can’t wait! 😁

[@DAHBHONG022]

Thanks for the new video. Be blessed and keep inspiring through your videos.

[@ourdreaminthewoods]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@thom3124]

It is so much fun watching you build this home. Thanks.

[@ourdreaminthewoods]

Thank you so much, Thom! 😊

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

It sure helps when the whole crew shows up ! It is solid looking forward to the sheeting 👍, I am still puttering on my siding but at least I'm closed in & only the outside weather slows me down, Going to be awesome when it's done :)

[@ourdreaminthewoods]

Northern Alberta - winter comes fast up there. We hope to have lots of changes in the next 4-6 weeks. 😁

[@deana1848]

Great start with the drone shot 😊

[@ourdreaminthewoods]

Thank you! 😊

[@robinfulton9057]

Really digging your music choices, keep up the good work, it's looking good.

[@ourdreaminthewoods]

Thank you so much, Leona! 😊

[@charlie7057]

Looking great

[@ourdreaminthewoods]

Thank you, Charlie! 😁

[@hallenw]

Where will the stairs be? You’re doing a GREAT JOB!❤

[@ourdreaminthewoods]

Thank you! They will be visible from the living room in center of the building. They should be cool - ascending almost 13 feet! 😁

[@clarkandsharonmondich6062]

Looking so nice.

[@ourdreaminthewoods]

Thank you! 😊

[@doncarolarmstrong5380]

I think you are doing a great job.i see you have bracing for the width of your building, but I don't see where you have any bracing for the length of the structure.just a thought

[@ourdreaminthewoods]

I know I’m lacking on bracing- And, it would be catastrophic if the structure toppled over. We should have lots of sheathing going on it very shortly and that should shear the barn up. 😊

[@Z-Bart]

I thought I heard you say, "That's a 10 foot opening and the windows are 10'1"." I'm hoping you misspoke.

[@ourdreaminthewoods]

Opposite of that. 10 foot window. 10’1” opening- I could have misspoke- tends to happen. 🤣

[@seandenny1553]

Projects looking good I’m just wondering when you’re going to start getting that roof on? It will protect all your wood just curious.

[@ourdreaminthewoods]

Thank you! Beginning of October- hopefully the weather holds up until then! 😊

[@peterarmstrong8613]

Low resolution camera? Just say’n. All your other vids are excellent resolution. Pete.

[@ourdreaminthewoods]

Hi, Pete- Hmmm, was it the whole video or just a specific spot? Same camera as always, so we’ll have to look into it. Sorry about that!

[@peterarmstrong8613]

@@ourdreaminthewoods Generally throughout the video. Interesting to hear what the others say. But don’t get me wrong you guys and gals are doing a magnificent job with the home milled lumber creating home sweet home. You are very generous letting us in on your project. Pete.

[@jimmychandler9328]

Looks really good. Better that a brick shit house. Lol

[@ourdreaminthewoods]

😂 Thank you!
