New A-frame build: Foundation, floor joist, and rafter construction

New A-frame build. Foundation, floor joist, and rafter construction.

I always considered myself a workhorse and even built my house, but I see three days of solo progress you've done there...offering a deep bow of respect, Sir.

[@dbrown8388]

Jeff is a machine man. I don't know how he does it

[@hannahweeks154]

Do you design your own floor plans or purchase them?

[@flysubcompact]

[@myronhigh3527]

There is only one word, to describe your ability and motivation....AMAZING!!!!!!! You do as much work as a 4 man crew, any day of the week, and TWICE as much on Saturday!!!! Cant wait to see both projects, when they are finished! GOD BLESS ALL!!!!👍🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏

Jeff’s a Workaholic Carpenter and Jack of all trades ! Awesome 👏🏻😎

[@RyanJones567]

It's pretty cool that you can use your house boat as a mobile home as you travel to these sites to build these houses! You are awesome Jeff! Keep it up!

[@SnakeBitBob1982]

I have been stealing your ideas and scaling them down to build my 1-room cabin in the woods. Thank you so much for sharing your world. It has really improved mine. Thanks again

[@2004ranger1]

Jeff is the most amazing builder I have ever seen. And I'm pushing 70. Really appreciate your work

[@fredgillick3071]

Hey Jeff, You are a one man crew. You get more done by your self then 4 guys get done in the same time. Take care and be safe.

[@georgejohnson7820]

Awesome Jeff don’t know how you do it by yourself. God bless you. Tremendous job looks awesome. You’re definitely a hard worker. Appreciate your videos.

[@swampydouglasobannon8804]

Funny how every carpenter crew calls your build-up different names you almost have to learn a new language sometimes I'm a retired carpenter and still love to see things come together. I just watch now but it is still fun to watch. You never stop learning and it's always something different.

[@rogerhuber3133]

Jeff, I have never seen anyone as productive as you. So many projects and so much energy. I really respect your skills and abilities.

[@doktorb3at]

I'm utterly amazed at all the things you can do and have accomplished. Thanks for sharing.

[@robertdement7518]

Been watching you for a while and what I admire about a guy of so many talents is you dont let any grass grow under your feet!

[@Frank-pe9pk]

Jeff my hat is off to you! You are one hard working man. All that with no help, even milling your own lumber.

[@ronhart8857]

Jeff your really doing a beautiful job on the foundation, & big two story trusses for the new A frame build. Love your channel, be safe, stay healthy, & God Bless everyone.

[@johnbush2798]

Jeff ...You are a construction animal! You work harder than any 3 men combined that I know. Love watching your videos...I especially enjoy your imagination seeing you figure it all out... while you go. Am retired and still fit. It would be a dream come true to work alongside you on these projects. Thx for sharing your very interesting life.

[@arthurledezma9003]

Got to tell you folks. In the time it takes a crew to build one and half frames, Mr Barron already has three standing. Ain’t kidding. I use to do security work for some of the bigger home builders in central California and they’d come in, stand up a few walls, maybe lower some trusses on…in one day. Jeff’s got Two A frames and a mansion going all by himself…well, a little goob every now and then. Amazing! Preciate y’all!

[@mainenorthwoodshunter3265]

You certainly are a busy man. I wish I lived closer, I would help you, as much as I could anyway. I am disabled. I feel I would certainly learn a lot from you. Keep them coming buddy. You inspire me to do a lot of things with my cabin here in Maine.

[@Ding_Bat]

I’m always wondering if working by yourself in the sticks is always such a good idea. Fantastic work as usual, Jeff! I really do enjoy your work ethic.

[@manicoptio9305]

Not often I shake my head and cuss loudly at the computer.. but when you see a man who does the work Jeff does, I just think 'Holy cow, that man's a machine!'

[@timholtmeier8146]

Jeff you are truly an amazing man and as everyone else has said your work ethic is second to none!! Enjoy watching what you do and wish I had a fraction of your know how!!

[@diverdave4056]

...mmm I just finished working 35 years as a carpenter - and I wished there were many more were good workers like Jeff !

[@ronaldcarter9860]

You don't take a breather at all Jeff..."Think I will start a cabin build while waiting for the blown in insulation for the home I am currently building"...not many would come up with that idea..lol....looking forward to seeing the finished product on both buildings!

[@karlkascha1261]

Great progress Jeff. Always look forward to seeing your videos.

[@kenbell8752]

Jeff, you are one hard working son of a gun!! Great job on the other house, and I am sure it will be on this cabin too!

[@terrisecasy6568]

Work safe Jeff don't over do it working by yourself safety first. Good job I can't wait to see that house finished 💯💯💯👍🏽

[@terrypederson640]

Ill be doing a build myself, brother. Thank you for taking the time to show us the process. That’s a peaceful spot!

[@moomoo9611]

Amazing While your waiting for spray foam at the house you build another hut. You Sir are skilled, honest, genuine and unique Thank you for sharing Love your work

[@johnsmith9817]

Give every man woman and child 10% of what Jeff has and the world would be a better place. Sir, you are an inspiration…keep on keepin on brother!

[@waynem4844]

Jeff...I lost track of how many places you have to lay your head at night! Good for you. I'm sure it will be nice. Looking forward to watching the build.

[@stevethuss2707]

you are one of a kind jeff. the most awesomest builder i've ever seen. keep on keepin.

[@RatdogDRB]

For tin hanging day, could you rig a pulley at the ridge, winch from the back side (up over the ridge and down to the working side), rig a jig to grip the tin at the top and just hoist it up and hold? If you have trees pretty close to ridge line, rig a cable above the ridge line with a pulley to ride the cable, and a pulley to winch off of. Then you can roll laterally to your next set. Then you could fiddle as needed without too much weight/danger to get thing aligned properly? It's gonna be sweet!

[@MtnLife-sv9fu]

You sir are a stud, Doin great on both yawls builds. Keep on keepin on...

[@garychapman559]

Awesome job Jeff...not many people could do that much work by themselves in such a short time. I was also wondering if the river has flooded that lot ...what is the flood risk in the past ?

[@yazooyellowcats1403]

Are you building that on the Alabama River? I talked with you and Hannah at deer expo in Birmingham last summer, the guy that fishes catfish tournaments. I just recently finally fulfilled a long time desire of buying a sawmill. I am enjoying sawing logs into lumber. Your building skills are top notch!

[@dalepadalik3920]

Jeff I envy you on all your knowledge of wood working, building of these houseand the energy you have o do all of this. I wish I had someone to teach me your how too's..

[@nigelkavanagh2048]
