Noticed a lot of comments asking why i didn't clear the floor first, it's what i would normally of done however the roof cleaning was a one man job so i used the first half of the first day to get as much of that done as possible whilst kev was finishing up a different job. we can both sweep at the same time but we didnt have the vans loaded to both clean a roof at the same time. So whilst on my own i was doing the one man job stuff while waiting for him to turn up! Hope that makes sense, you guys know how streamlined i like the jobs to be, already plan it out in my head a week before i start :D Also to put it into context the roof took 6 hours 1 man, the floor sweep took about 45 minutes 1 man, that was the easy part :D Thanks for all the love on this one, glad to get something new and exciting out for you all!

Hi Syd. I loved your explanation. I was wondering about that myself. But, I also wonder why you don't invest in a powerful leaf blower. You could have blown all of that stuff (except for the solid matter) out the door in 5 minutes. It's much harder to sweep, shovel wet stuff.

The barn looks like it could have built for horses. The holes in the floor could be for the support beams for stalls and the dark area could be the ally in the middle where they could drive stuff threw. Stalls often have mats on the floor so it would have stayed cleaner.

After watching the Hoof GP for while now, the two openings is like the race way for moving equipment around. The sides are for the animals. And in the back, where that thick layer of moss is, is a holding pen for the animal to be looked over or worked on. Looks kinda small for cows or horses, I’m guessing the possibility of pigs were kept there.

Hi Sid enjoyable vid as always, also I've worked on dairy/beef farms pretty much all my life and that barn was a deep litter cattle shed, the metal in the concrete is for metal posts so the farmer would be able to hang feed rails either side so you would have a feed passage down the middle, and the cattle would be either side and the farmer would drive up and down the middle feed passage either putting out silage or tmr (total mixed rations) from a diet feeder that would explain the staining mate.

Great Job. If you have to clean the inside of a barn like that again, may I recommend a harness, and jury-rigging up some kind of velcro strap or a belt to wrap around and take the weight of the long pole and then you can just use leverage to maneuver the spout since it's so far out. Something like what they use for string trimmer for landscaping work. It might save your shoulders and arms from being destroyed the next day.

You did a great job. I am a farmer and we drive equipment through the center of our barns. the stain in the center is a combo of oil and hydraulic fluids. To clean the stains we use oven cleaner spray it on let it sit 10 -15 minutes then spray it again and use a stiff brush to scrub then rinse it off then sprinkle baking soda down or make a paste of baking soda and water and use it to scrub with a brush then rinse it off. Works great on driveways and bricks as well. it is also alot less expensive as alot of the industrial cleaners and works better.

You won't probably see this with all the comments but i used to wash hog barns (well and a lot of other things too) here in the states. Best practices and suggestions for you, take em or leave em. Have the customer set up, 12-24 hours prior to you doing the cleaning, sprinklers. Not only does this loosen up the poop and mud but the fly poop as well. The kind that you use for your yard/grass. Especially heavier soiled barns. Make sure the hit the ceiling and walls. You will find barns that have massive build up several inches or more...use a zero tip here and "cut" them out in sections. If you plan on doing this for taller barns like this one you might want to start having a separate set of scaffolding with tie offs (so you don't fall). Sprinklers can be set on those too to reach the ceiling. Rain slickers for when you are doing the ceiling is good. Prescription eye googles. Rub the the inside with shaving cream and thoroughly wipe out and they won't fog. Your equipment will start taking on that odor so eventually you will want to separate sets of wands, hoses, and clothes. Fan tips are your friends. Lastly...washing animals barns. That smell will seep into your SOUL. You won't smell it after a while but trust me everyone else can. Spray deodorant works well but my go to was to wash (especially my hands and face) with a mixture of lemon juice/oil and baking soda. It really helps cut the odor down. Loves your videos!!! Hope this helps a little.

Gotta say, that barn was an ideal job for Soft Washing. Put it on like foam with extra surfactant, and let it dwell 2x. Re foam in spots to saturate. Your only environmental concern is the surfactant. I use organic laundry soap because everything breaks down to salt, water and essential minerals in under 8 hours on a sunny day or till dry. Without giving too much of the recipe away, hope you understand. Reach out and I'll hook you up with my Organic Farm Safe cleaner mix recipe. Took me 3 years and a dozen farms to perfect the levels of cleaner and sanitizer to do the work with very short half lifes to ensure no harm to soils or livestock.

Those holes are for steel fence posts, leaving a central through way for feeding the cattle. The dark staining would be from silage, which would be spread down the middle for the cows from each side to eat. The posts and fencing would be removed in the spring when the cows go back out to grass, this leaves the shed usable for other uses in the summer months.

Just throwing out an idea for the staining, I worked for a haulage company which delivered animal feed round the country and two main product was sugarbeet pellet (a dry store pellet) and supaflow (basically sugarbeet coated in molasses). When the firm packed up and we emptied the stores of feed, the supaflow store floor was stained like that in the video and not much brings it up if it’s engrained in the concrete. Heat is best as molasses is just a sugar syrup like treacle but probably not worth clients money to put hard graft into something that might not shift👍 and as per the other comments the hole in the floor is just a lump of box section steel embedded in the concrete so that dividers or temporary walls can be put in, great job and an enjoyable watch as per Sid👍🧼
