Post and Beam Barn Kit Part 6- Inner and Outer Lean-tos

Continuing on with the rest of the frame this week I assemble and erect the inner and outer lean-to portions of each bent. Despite some twisted members the kit carpentry remains excellent and there are no major surprises or issues.
Thanks as always for keeping up with the channel and we’ll see you next Thursday with another episode.

I got a message this morning mentioning some background visitors in the first half of this video. Let me know if you notice them too and leave a timestamp in the comments :-)

[@paulhammond7489]

I guess they could have been referring to the deer that make an appearance on the other side of the piles of dirt behind you near the tree line (started at 9:58, and something scared them off at 10:41 :)

Watching any post and beam building go up is cool. Watching 1 guy do it, almost entirely by himself, even cooler.

[@paulhammond7489]

Looking magnificent, a perfect choice of building for that location by the owner. Nice to see the reduction in lumber stacks. Thanks for continuing to take us along for the enjoyable ride... :)

[@ShredPile]

I absolutely think the same thing Paul. It's the right kit in the right place. Instant classic.

Love the view 31:00 minutes in (blue sky and clouds moving). great Job making post work out.

[@alangalloway6361]

Great watching you work! Also watching you build in the rain, again😂

[@ShredPile]

Thanks man!

[@douglasthompson2740]

I get such a sense of accomplishment when you do all the work, Jake! Makes my Guinness taste so good while I watch. At 74 I get to watch you young bucks sweat. I bet the owner wishes now he had extended the pad out to include the side sheds. Getting things up out of the wet is just so much better. I don't envy you fighting the movement of natural wood, especially in a hot sun. It is going to look super when you finish her. Always makes for a good evening to watch your projects and the thinking that goes into overcoming the challenges.

[@ShredPile]

Thank you Sir, Glad you and so many others are enjoying the channel that way:-) I know at lest half of one lean-to will be concrete for a patio area and it might make sense to do the rest of that one for parking and covered work area but the main use of them is for equipment storage and it's just easier to keep some of the stuff like the dozer on gravel so I'm sure one will remain that way.

Amazing project coming together Jake looking great already, will be awesome when finished all on your own to. I am blown away another fantastic build keep the videos coming best channel to watch thank you.

very impressive your craftsmanship and skill.

Thank you!

[@paulbadger6336]

Well done 👍. Thanks for taking the time to share. I like your style and I always learn something.

[@robertsimmons3556]

Looks like its all coming together Jake! This kit really seems well made! Great aerial shots too!

[@ShredPile]

Thanks Robert, The camera on the drone takes fantastic footage. I'm always scared I'm going to lose it though:-)

[@robertsimmons3556]

@@ShredPile side question and I know you said dedicated power was coming soon but any concerns with quality of power and your cranes electronics running off the generator?

[@ShredPile]

@@robertsimmons3556 yeah there was some concerns Robert so I consulted with a whip, smart plant electrician friend of mine who asked me a few pointed questions and the result was that since the controls in the crane are all solid state (relays and such) and not electronic or more inverter-based stuff that the generator power that I had to provide would be clean enough. I think in one of the episodes I showed that on idle, the generator was only making 75 V which I wanted to make sure I didn’t provide only that to the crane because there is some background electrical usage even when I’m not operating it directly. So I did pretty good about keeping it at high idle when I wanted to use it and shutting it off when I wasn’t. As of this writing, I now have power and everything‘s cool :-)

[@Z-Bart]

Love the drone footage. That company makes a nice kit. Auto zoom is still on hyperdrive. Lol.

[@ShredPile]

I think I solved the auto zoom issue and this should be the last week of it. Super frustrating.

[@Z-Bart]

@@ShredPile Is the high roof 10/12 or 12/12 pitch?

[@ShredPile]

@@Z-Bart 10:12. Steep enough i'm going to finish my way up from the bottom:-)

[@Vanweezy_67]

Looks really nice,going to be a beautiful home

[@janlesinski4719]

Would not be one of your videos without some rain

[@ShredPile]

Its inescapable:-)

[@danbreyfogle8486]

I sure enjoy the drone footage. What a big project, too bad it is not in my hometown for my woodworking shop, grin...

[@ShredPile]

I gotta say, it would look pretty good at my house too:-)

[@president2]

Love it so much keep it up as always 💘

[@bard44]

Just like at the house, working in the rain.

[@ShredPile]

It tracked me down:-)

[@2001luisrogerio]

It looks easy, but it is a very complex work and has its techniques, it is very high, a mistake can be fatal, good morning in Brazil 10:00 in the morning and it is cold too, have a good week.

[@ShredPile]

@@2001luisrogerio you’ve got a good eye for the real dangers on this type of work. It may not show up well because I don’t point it out, but I’m always shooting for redundancy when I tie everything together. Thanks for keeping up with the series :-)

[@janlesinski4719]

I love the kit looks a fun build

[@Aidan-tu4un]

That’s a handy brace… I mean hammer, that you carry with you

[@ShredPile]

I love that thing, the hole in the handle worked perfect for this job:-)

[@johnmcanulty7341]

It would be nice if wood would stay stable and straight.

[@ShredPile]

No doubt, it's tough because out here we have big enough trees to go with all free-of-heart and it hardly moves at all. That little barn building of mine is all FOH and outside of a little cupping its doing great.

[@bigdjn42]

Your work ethic is amazing, I love the regularity of every thing, even the coffee breaks. Proper order! I get very nervous about you working alone there with all that heavy equipment and timber. Have you an emergency procedure worked out?

[@ShredPile]

Coffee breaks are non negotiable:)

[@Aidan-tu4un]

How long had the frame been made before you put it together… is it normal to have so many twisted beams??

[@ShredPile]

It was built and shipped as soon as it was done which was whenever I unloaded the trucks. june maybe? The wood is kiln dried before they get it so that sort of sends it in the direction that it's going to go and sometimes it continues to move after that which is what I ended up with here. Lots of great beams too but the bad ones get all the focus >-)
