Newly Married Couple Builds Grain Bin Into Tiny House

[@56gpcampbell]

If you seal the deck with a good deck sealer, the water will repell and not soak in the wood to "wick" inside. I would seal inside and and out.

[@tinybubbles263]

Econodek vinyl membrane the deck to waterproof

[@lourivera9794]

Yes, that was what I was thinking; Deck sealer should address the water migration. Deck stairs look good though.

[@sharonsutton7519]

That's exactly what I was going to say. Thompsons water seal should do it.

[@chelleburke2984]

I used it on a wooden bench swing and the water just rolls off the bench.

[@winterhomestead]

Agree

[@50spirithealer]

Seal the deck inside and out. There’s a vapor barrier/ insulation that resembles bubble wrap. It’s foil on one side and that’s the side that goes down. The interior bin walls are going to have to be spray foamed to keep the metal walls from sweating and running down and causing mold. After interior framing is done you can then use insulation over the spray foam. I would suggest unfazed batting and an interior plastic vapor barrier. It’s not going to be something that you can cut corners on! Bite the bullet and do it right the first time. To cool the inside while you are working on it, open the top door and then open the bottom door. The rising heat will create a natural chimney effect drawing in cooler outside air.

[@maryellencook9528]

Once you have sealed the outside of the bin, use some Thompsons Water Sealer on the deck to decrease the water absorption. 😊

[@EntertheStars]

after you build the subfloor, cut vents in the silo for cross ventilation so that the wood underneath can dry out.

[@britzel71]

Love how you've bonded and worked so much with the new girls. Seeing Pickles come to you was precious 💓

[@jacquelynhull2261]

Never seen steps built like that.

[@rollodane54]

Progress!! Cattle know they are at home. Have to put some water seal on that deck wood. Good stuff in this video.

[@SandraCrockett]

Everything is coming along...... Thanks for the animal show also! Congratulations you newly weds! Have fun in life. Don't forget to smell the roses along the way on your journey together........

[@northernpikes7545]

Shoulda put a nice cement slab for the bottom of the steps to rest on. Framing out a form for a nice 3 inch slab would have provided strength for the steps and a nice bottom step.

[@timwolters1969]

That is looking so good. The cows are so sweet. :)Love how the Gouts just hang were ever.

[@louannwilmoth43623]

We sealed our deck to make it repel water. Love the front steps. It’s going to look great! Love sweet Pickles now that she love you both❤

[@KJABurch]

20:46 Later on you could always put steps on the other 3 sides if you wanted to. Just depends on the layout and future plans. Can’t wait to see it all done! Also, real quick…will the gaps in the boards affect the floor any, or pipes ran under the floor since air can flow up through them? You probably already explained this. lol ❤

[@johncarter3900]

Congratulations on your marriage, God Bless and continued success.

[@Stevens3D69]

That grain bin is looking really good

[@cathleencrawley4610]

Waterproof your wood deck.. then the water won’t absorb through!!! 😊

[@izzy1949]

Maybe if you varnish the deck so the boards don’t soak in the rain so much…..I think the steps are amazing…what a place to come out in the morning and have your coffee and watch the animals…❤

[@virginiacurrey2019]

I always thought the silo should have been place on thick cement slab bolted down firm. That deck will have weakness as rain n snow is on it. Can you drop the silo thru that wooden deck to cement blocks underneath? Hope you guys stay young… cause steps are a pain when older, or have an accident. Or sick. And please put rails on each side. A ton of work & money is going into this silo project, so I pray it’s a good thing to come. Remember, North OK gets snow n ice… rain and tornadoes . Y’all have a lot to learn… as children are born, maneuvering them, groceries, furniture, appliances, etc up those steps into the silo will take its toll. Good luck!

[@virginiacurrey2019]

What kind of flooring are putting over that tar sealer.

[@glenokla4079]

Jason, I've been thinking about how to stop water coming inside the grain bin. The only way you can completely stop it honey is by cutting each board off and putting a non-porous material in between the boards so water wont seep in. It will be a lot of work because you'll have to go under the deck then and put in bracing to support where each board ends & starts, and not letting them touch or moisture will seep inside and rot the deck. I'm so sorry about having to be the one to give you the bad news!!! I love the stairs! It's going to be beautiful. X's &

[@karenk4850]

Love your relationship with your animals. It’s so evident how well they’re taken care of and how much they love you both! Congratulations on your wedding! ❤️❤️❤️

[@bethdixon501]

They really do love each other ❤️❤️❤️

[@bethdixon501]

I’ll never eat a “brownie” again after the tar you used 🤣😂🤣

[@michaelwittman8585]

Yes, SEAL THE DECK! That will repel and work.❤

[@terriesavage4897]

love the steps, nice and wide and not a steep incline. Great job!

[@joannemays3729]

Loving the teamwork. Looks stout. Like your process.

[@debrathomas3925]

You’ll need to think about a solid surface as you step off the steps, so that you don’t step into the mud, and can help support the center of the steps. It looks so good!

[@butchwallace7710]

Looks great keep up the great work

[@barbaradoye1989]

It is going to look beautiful! Take care, guys!😀

[@lindakemp2742]

Looks awesome❤👍

[@virginiacurrey2019]

Underneath needs sealing as I could see the ground thru the deck inside. Jared.. you are a dreamer. Fall is coming.

[@sharonh1671]

Congratulations to you and Danielle . May God bless your union.

[@MattBannan]

YOU SHOULD SEAL THE WOOD!!!

[@juliedinsdale4808]

Nice of you to build stairs for the goats, lol.

[@scotto6314]

Nice job newlyweds 🤙

[@vickielee8958]

Looks nice!!😊

[@JamesWilliams-vs2od]

Try the roll roofing that roofers use on flat roofs to seal the inside. Roll it out, torch it and slather some tar on it

[@rongray4847]

The steps finish the look for the front, nice job!! 👍👍❤️❤️🇨🇦

[@christaleroy7695]

You should get an icing bag to fill in cracks. They have really big ones that you can use with mortar.

[@lisacampbell6617]

When you put the vapor barrier on the inside deck floor, use some screen, over some of the cracks, in a few places so the wood can breathe and not rot from moisture being trapped between the deck and finished floor.

[@heavenly-dreamsdairygoats]

Thank you for sharing, till next time God Bless.

[@gaylerichards7409]

Great video! Love the start of the stairs! If you don’t don’t do stairs all the way around, will you cover up the opening where the dogs go under? I think that will look much better. I can’t believe the cows are being so calm with you guys. Get cooled off and relax. Don’t work to do hard at the hospital Danielle.

[@kentuckybluegrassliving7718]

Awesome progress . Flag stone walkway to steps would be beautiful. Hard work but the sense of accomplishment keeps you pumped

[@kayashmore4296]

It's all coming together for you. Keep your chin up. Your hard work is paying off!

[@cuocsonglangnoigogang]

Your inspiring journey of transforming a grain bin into a tiny house as a newly married couple showcases your creativity, teamwork, and dedication to sustainable living, offering a heartfelt narrative of love and innovation. And I am Floating Village Life In From Viet Nam

[@johntillotson4254]

Thx for sharing. You can use earth bags outside your grain cylo for insulation. Or even for skirting. Check out earth dome building

[@candacesteiner5023]

Love the steps! Can't wait to see your progression into a beautiful home. A Very unique idea! Dreams do come true IF you build it. Great teamwork and spirit...love your show!

[@corriestrauss3340]

Hi Jason and Danielle. Those stairs are going to look nice. I love that even little Pickles comes to you when you call her❤. Danielle, enjoy your time back at the hospital. Love you both💕💕

[@donnaLorbetskie]

Maybe you guys could drill holes all along the bin for drainage.

[@sandywilkerson9271]

The steps will add so much!😊❤❤

[@patriciasolomon166]

Jason have you ever watched the outsider? He had a video on a new porch that he built on his cabin and sealed it with beeswax, Take a look it might help. Just a suggestion. love you and Danielle. Congratulations on being married!❤❤❤

[@peggydozier9941]

I see your vision. I like it!😊💜

[@roberto.peterson9917]

suggestion to use expanding foam filler between deck boards inside grain bin just to keep cold out and maybe insects option foam interlocking 1/2 thick tile believe they come 2 ft square that lock together like jigsaw puzzle

[@SharonStar62]

I have always known to seal our wood to stop the wood from absorbing water!!

[@ashleydavis6809]

The stairs are going to be NICE!!❤❤❤

[@bikerchic7938]

So in a metal building, how do you prevent condensation on the walls. Do you have ro use a thick layer of spray foam?

[@darrellkuhn5310]

Have you considered putting a good deck sealer on the outside deck? You should let the new deck cure out before adding sealer though.

[@Lala-up3ib]

Absolutely love love love the grand staircase. I can see those french doors already!❤❤❤❤

[@anneparisi1828]

Like the stairs to be concept 👍

[@XaLoiVlog]

The house is tubular, very similar to rice tanks in Vietnam. Interesting home ideas. I love it

[@WalterRobinson-j2h]

You should lay cement under those steps.. If you don’t the moisture will rot your steps..

[@suearblaster7355]

Love the staircase and if you seal the deck good you won’t have the water soaking in.

[@andrewwindsor5962]

Buy waterproof sealant for your wood does help from the wood soaking up. It was just the water was staying on the top and coat the bottom underneath as well.

[@mikeduda3173]

Your cow is in the hay ring because it is upside down

[@Roxanne-d9g]

😊hello ,Deck looking really nice 😊😊

[@dawnkangas2968]

Absolutely awesome those stairs are going to be amazing French doors would look 👀 absolutely amazing love you all

[@heatherarthur6232]

Jason you could seal the boards to keep the moisture out of them and make them easy to clean…looking good guys.

[@micheledesimone1297]

I would seal the deck inside and out

[@Infinitepossibilitiesat56plus]

Stairs are great 👍

[@PaulTreefella]

You need to seal the deck with an all-purpose timber preservative that's also uv.

[@stephenkennedy7931]

It's looking great folks your going to have a beautifull place. God Bless from your Canadian Friend.

[@8cylinderstolife737]

Actually sealing the deck really well will stop that wicking from boards from happening. I would suggest letting it dry a little, sand it down a little and then seal it with a really good deck waterproofing weather seal. Then you won’t have a wicking issue any longer. The other thing I would suggest, is when you do the work on the inside and build up your floor to use a system that leaves a small gap for drying/airflow under the underlayment (they make really good stuff we used on our concrete floor requires that gap due to living in a very wet climate and the concrete can keep a slight wetness so it has a gap to ensure it can keep airflow and dry. That should honestly fix any issues you have.

[@simpled5755]

Hey y'all, what you could do on the sides of the stairs and in front of the deck is raised garden beds, have a kitchen garden of sorts, Justin Rhodes has a pretty cool example of one, just an idea. Awesome video

[@deanhatch4179]

I think you need to cut the boards around the bin to keep it from wicking through the boards to the inside. That will most likely require more deck framing. If the moisture gets trapping inside it will rot the floor out quickly.

[@kathywetherington3766]

Heyyy ain't nothing wrong with buying pre-made stringers. I think the stairs will be awesome!!!ya'll are in the groove !! Keep on keeping on stay cool 😎 ❤

[@miriamreiser9145]

❤QUE BIEN VAN HA QUEDAR LAS ESCALERAS SIEMPRE QUE BUEN TRABAJO❤ LOS FELICITOS❤

[@Mewsielynx]

Yay !!!😊❤😊

[@suearblaster7355]

Another thing try putting a fan in the door or in the grain bin to circulate the air while you are working in there

[@denisefortier8683]

SEALING THE DECK WOULD HELP AND INSIDE ALSO AT LEASST 2 COATS AND STAIRS ALSO

[@fatboy54100]

It’s called you seal the wood hello

[@ginag1682]

Maybe you can put tarp or roof over pool to provide shade & protect from leaves

[@chas2can124]

This is the time when you realised you should have made the foundation full on 100% Concrete. It wont work on boards. Hope it does though.

[@jeanneorr7838]

All the wayaround😍😍😍😍

[@leighelliott5097]

When are you putting the driveway in?

[@kirktimmins1817]

Seal the boards inside and out to keep the water out. Also put a vapor barrier on the inside of the bin.

[@julieerickson6075]

Love the steps ... everything is going to look great❤Reba❤Pickles,💙 Lambeau

[@bigbake3306]

Thats some good livin right there!

[@jlucy401]

Also how u gonna do the bottom step when u tied the stringers to the outside of the posts instead of the inside

[@tobymeade3222]

❤Cant wait to see you all finish & moving in your Home👍🤩🌟🌞🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@Chefsantatravels]

Congratulations again God bless keep doing what you're doing it's looking good showdown👍✌✌🎅

[@rogerlarge4827]

They make various kinds of marine grade sealer for decks

[@karenbrest187]

Good evening 🌞

[@Spaceisgr8]

So so so glad you put the 2x6 runner in front of the stringers a narrow step can get annoying quickly.

[@BackatTheRanchSTX]

Move the short posts the the opposite side of the step support. Should be an easy fix. Can't wait to see it all completed.

[@anthonysmith-ll3iw]

Thompson water seal

[@gailstark1688]

So glad yall done just the front for steps. It looks good so far.

[@maxinekelly8417]

Perfect size for the stairs it is going to look amazing and practical for use. This is exciting watching your vision come to fruition well done Mr and Mrs Crocker (had to say it). lol 💙💙🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍🤣🤣

[@jenboyles5381]

You can always notch around that bottom post of the stairs.

[@driver1421]

Seems like it would have been easier if you started with a level concrete landing and built from there.

[@keggs1961]

Thompson water seal will do the trick on the deck

[@paulawagner6058]

Moving right along.

[@donnaquinlan2469]

You got a lot done. Love the look of the stairs. French door's would be awesome. Can't wait to see what you guys do next it's coming along.

[@tobymeade3222]

❤ Good Evening Danielle and Jason 🌠🌌🤩Nice Steps& Deck👍Very sturdy,& great support 👍👌✌️🤞🙌🇺🇸🙏🎶🌅🌄🌻🎆🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@alinedoyle4914]

It was so funny to see Reba in the hay frame. 😂
