From what I can see, Jim is literally dedicated to his family, farm, his horses and this channel too. If you haven't already subscribed, do it. He really deserves it and puts out a fine informative video.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks Pitts Chapel Farm!!!

[@johnking8679]

That's for sure !! Jim loves his horses and is very informative in each episode !! Lord Bless you and your family, my friend !!

[@johnkomosa9508]

Those are some serious floor blocks. For a wet area, I would recommend cement blocks and maybe a 2x10 to dress it up as a ledger or facia board in front, but you use what you have and you have a great resource of timber and the means to custom cut it. I like the smell and look of Wood too. That saw must have really barked in the barn. Horses like, what the ...skidding logs in the barn. Alright let's go... love the massive wood look, one of a kind.

[@joycehennequin8469]

Good morning Jim, lts so nice to think that you used the horses to go to the woods,to take down trees and prepare this wood to make these great stalls and platform for their water troff.Such a good job,well done 👌have a super week,all the very best 🌱🌱🌱💕🇬🇧

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Good morning! Thanks for watching and hope you have a super week as well

[@marcduclos9789]

I am 61/1/2 stone mason. I find my self doing most every thing alone. You did grate with those trees.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

That is hard work!

[@tommartins712]

LOL, "I'm no finish carpenter" as you pick up your chainsaw. great project!! looked like that cutoff at 11:00 would fill that tiny space in perfectly...

[@tylerwells8314]

I noticed that too 😀

[@peterandrews7239]

Hello my name is Peter I am glad to be her subscriber of your show I love watching you I’ve never been a horse person but I am now and enjoyed every show that I’ve watched I’ve been watching for probably a year but I just subscribed for five days ago keep up the good work great to see you show can’t wait to see what you do with the Colts by now

[@davidmunro1469]

The stalls look beautyful. I use wheeled dolly's for every lift. 20 years of carpet installing and my back and knees are still good. I tell people my mind went first. HA HA HA.

[@ingeborgm6147]

I am new, just so you know when I ask stupid questions. I love the new wooden stalls and I am sure the horses do also! It looks like an oldfashioned Christmas card. You did a wonderful job on their drinking station! If you get a heater you and your wife can also use it as a hot tub on cold winter nights......olala! :)

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Welcome aboard! That is funny!!Great idea!!

[@ascienceguy-5109]

Nice job of eye-balling and cutting the timbers for the stand. The stalls look great.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks

[@arthurthompson4017]

We truly enjoy all of your videos! Thank you so much for doing them and keep em coming.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thank you! Will do!

[@1striperon]

Great to see you work smarter, not harder, using the skidsteer. Very nice results. 👍

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks 👍

[@donaldvogtsberger1105]

Excellent job. Watching you work brought to mind an old saying ‘Measure twice, cut once’. My dad always said that when we worked with wood. Now I say it when working on projects with my children. Thanks for video.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

That is for sure! Thanks for watching

[@hughvane]

Belatedly - mentioned before - ropes and pulleys to lift and manoeuvre those beams into position. From a viewer of similar age - "use science Jim, nearly alway beats brute force".

[@r.f.richardsonjr5691]

The barn is looking real good, Jim. The horses seem happy with it, too. 👍

[@MrDingo71]

One and a half minutes into this video and my back is already hurting! 😅

[@jerrybaldwin7543]

All I can say is nothing but respect to you Mr Jim out there man handling those blocks of timber like nothing major RESPECT

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks

[@sharynhay9993]

Your ingenuity and determination are such fun to watch. I love the extra touches you put on your projects.

[@newman_LaRue_Jr]

Nice looking cedar logs

[@stanhensley3082]

Wow,how many trees 🌳 died 😢 to make this.Should last a good long time!! The horses 🐎 will really like it too. Thanks 😊.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

non, they were already dead or dying so I salvaged them for this project, couldn't really be used for anything else

[@jimcour291]

Quite the "show barn" you will end up having! Looks great Jim

[@kimfleury]

Enjoyed the video as always 💕🐎 Jim did a fine job with this project and I'm sure the grandbabies and other kids will be thrilled to be able to pet the horse in that first stall. It's really something the way Bill and Lady remain so calm with all that racket! It never ceases to amaze me.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Yes, they are pretty used to the sound of the chain saw.

[@thecdn3561]

Fun on the farm, was our motto, when dealing with most projects. Whether they be daily or new. Good job 👍.

[@sueupham2519]

This barn looks so good for the new year ahead,,,

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks, looking forward to the new year!

[@rand1262]

Yes A little hard work and it ready for years of use. Your barn is looking better every day. Well done

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

sure hope so

[@gastoncannon4710]

Excellent job, Jim, the barn is really shaping up. But, those were some large timbers to handle by yourself, wow! Me think you’ll cold weather is down here in Georgia, it was 24 degrees this morning, about 4o miles South of Chattanooga, Tennessee. Thought I was back in Vermont, haha. Stay safe and take care. ❤️💙💚💜💗

[@fernlintner65]

Looking spiffy!

[@benzoverakers1877]

Nicely done!!!!

[@Nancy-1249B]

Seeing how you had your bridles hanging reminded me of how I hung mine back in the early 60s. I cleaned out tuna-fish cans and nailed them on the wall. Bridles hung on them perfectly!😊

[@lindap8101]

Great work. Now with a few decorations your barn will look like a beautiful Christmas card!

[@annebartz9175]

Hi Looks good that brought that up nice❤🙏

[@petermartinez5573]

Wow those are some humungous timbers you have their. A benefit of having your own timber and a mill. Jim you are the busiest guy I know. I hope you find some time for yourself occasionally. My regards to the Mrs. and the girls.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks Peter

[@joepond9587]

Rainy day seems like a good day to but the horses outside while you work in the barn.

[@jerryjarrell2373]

Thank's for sharing looks very nice

[@robertlivingstone3947]

Jim first i hope you had a great birthday. And all i can say is that you take pride in everything you do from your horses to re doing your barn

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks for the Birthday wishes

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks!

[@Adelineward-ix7lg]

You did a great job Jim.

[@johntoothman4888]

Dang, Jim! You do nice work!! You do know this leads to flat screen TV's in each stall!! Lol.... Our one horse has EPM, he's getting his meds and getting better!!

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

haha

[@bnghjtyu767]

It turned out neat. When it's more than a one man's job you have to improvise and think it through a little bit more. nice to be able to let those hydraulics do some work.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Very true!

[@edmc755]

THEY ALWAYS SAY < WORK SMARTER NOT HARDER > LOOKS SUPER

Look great in the barn!! Good Job.

[@fbh31118]

Wow! Looking really good Jim. Great job 👏 👍 👌 🙌

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks

[@rottiman100]

Well done as usual. The barn is looking great.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks

[@Peter-gi3re]

Those beams look too nice to use for that but I know for you it’s there for the taking and you can use wood any way you like. I can only imagine how heavy there are. You are pushing your luck trying to lift them on your own. Once you hurt your back or something else it’s not so easy to recover especially as you get older. Don’t mean to come across critical, I just don’t want you to hurt yourself. I often move heavy awkward stuff on my own too, but I take a few minutes extra and figure out what to use other than my old body 😀

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks for your concern, Peter

[@Wendy-bd9zu]

Looks really nice!

[@timothymoore2672]

Jim you sure got my attention when you began lifting with your back and not your legs. I was much relieved when you decided to use the bobcat. Brenda is going to have to keep a better eye on you, but then I am sure you have always done it your way. GOD Bless and be careful Jim..

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks for caring

[@donaldshields2483]

You did another good job keep up the good work

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

thanks

[@russellhunter6341]

FYI,,,My wife used coffee cans nailed to the wall to hang the bridles on, instead of hanging them on a nail.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Sounds like a good idea

[@herbhouston5378]

Nice job!!

[@darrel1954]

Jim looks great, well done Darrel

[@randybutler4772]

Good work Jim. Don’t hurt your self lifting. Thank you for sharing.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks 👍

[@klauskarbaumer6302]

Only a logger and saw-mill owner has the spare wood to make such a solid, even massive stand for the water tank. Watch out for your back moving those heavy logs!!

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks Klaus

[@juliagoodhope420]

Looks great!

[@genesenecal9140]

I think a Hookeroon and a Peavey might have helped you with some leverage.

[@wssides]

Might mar the finish on the timber though.

[@firecaptaintom1977]

@@wssides Pretty sure the chainsaw and skid steer forks took care of that.😄

[@genesenecal9140]

@@wssides It's a Horse Barn.

[@wssides]

@@genesenecal9140 But a "nice" horse barn. My grandfather was hired to build on with a picture window for the racehorses back in the 1950s.

[@douglasbruce1713]

Thanks for sharing

[@jondoe-mf9qy]

Jim I would have hooked up lady for the pulling.😀😀😀

[@JohnFieldingUSA]

Oh man you hurt my back moving those beams!!

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

sorry

[@susanbrown2909]

I’m the same Jim...we could wait around for a younger stronger person:but we get on and do the jobs just the same.

[@robertpowell2746]

My God Jim as particular as you are for a minute I thought you were building a cruise missile!

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Haha

[@SWAMPHUNTER644]

You need a cant hook, or a timberjack, or a Log Ox or one of the other tools made for moving logs and timbers. They are not cheap but when you need them you need them. I knew you would figure it out eventually but someone once told me not to pound with a crescent wrench. You need the "right tool for the right job!" Maybe you need to put one on your Christmas list. Save your back for more important things.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks for the suggestions

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

The right tool at the right time for the right job is well worth it

[@johnalexander8589]

You need to do them one at a time doing with your bobcat

[@williamlewis8741]

Bonjour Jim... nice addition for the horses. sorry buddy, i'm going to give you my opinion on lifting heavy beams like that. learned long ago, one 2x4 and one 4x4 with a crowbar... leverage. a portable hand truck works too. nice for you having the skid steer. please please, us guys sixty plus must take care of our backs. maybe next time, measure out the triangle, put the three beams together, make a template, mark it out and cut accordingly. i was struggling with you Jim...

[@sueupham2519]

Ha I just said the same thing,,, where's Levi,,,your helper.? Yah a skid steer...

[@sueupham2519]

Super job,,so thoughtful for the children too....

[@RealJohnWayne]

Hey there Jim, I hope you're all well and good! I'm not sure that your base is heavy enough to support your watering trough......😉 Are those beams Cedar? I've noticed on numerous occasions that your horses, primarily your Belgians, stand with their rear feet out of the stall, and on the concrete. Have a good one! 🐎🐎👍🇺🇸

[@AE-hb6hr]

Nice 😁😁😁

[@ellisc.foleyjr9778]

Hmm why do I think Jim has that same expression running through his mind that I do. ? " Don't tell me it can't be done, get out of the way and watch me do it!" I bellowed that one to my three sons most of their lives. Yep ! you're right they still let Dad do it. I know who's the dumb one now!. But I'm still a legend in my own mind! have a nice day Great job Jim. !

[@konalis808]

great job! 👍 i like how you used the skid steer to help move those huge logs. work smarter not harder right?

[@Ericbjohnston5150]

Id just weld a few pieces of steel bar and make a frame to sit tub on. Less energy used. A cement pad to sit tank on.

[@arthurwilson4124]

Out of curiosity, why didn't you frame with smaller lumber and plank it instead of using the big beams, Seems it would have been much easier than wrestling around those big timbers, Just curious

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

I had some trees that were starting to go bad, so I figured that was a great place to use them

[@kylekyselka6499]

I guess you didn’t want the weight of the water trough breaking the stand and no loose corners or joints for one of your horses to catch a leg on and the skid steer too. I know you’ve been ask this question before, what do you think about mules?

[@johnelliott6738]

Work smarter, not harder! We're not 20 anymore!

[@biddydibdab9180]

Physical work is so interesting to watch compared to watching someone working on a computer.

[@archermathews8562]

Now off to the chiropractor

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

haha

[@EANJGB]

Jim ! are these night boxes .For the size of the horses there is not much room in those stalls for them to be able to get down and have a lay-down . I assume you have them working in the day time so there would not be much time for them to lay-down then or are they a horse that sleeps standing up . What am I missing here Jim .

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

They are their stalls whenever they need them. The can lay down and they do when they want to. And horses can and do sleep standing up at times as well

[@rodneywroten2994]

just a thought Mr. Jim. What if you took the brook out peace from the water tub and screwed it to the wall. Well you would have to unscrew it to empty and clean it. O well I am 70 what do I know lol

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks for the suggestion, opted for a new water tub instead😀

[@ronhaworth5471]

Jim, do you ever wear a back brace for heavy lifting?I never did.

[@shopshop144]

Just your average big box store 10 x 10's, no big deal! Pre tractors, any idea how many horses the average would have?

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Don't know...

[@matthewnasci2646]

I cringed watching you move those timbers, thinking 'there's a herniated disc waiting to happen'. Work smart not hard right? Jim you have a nice stable and your horses are very well cared for. Best wishes to you and your family from central ny.
