We Thought We Could Build This Barn For Free (But Some Materials Are Hard To Find)

[@madamemeng884]

As a tradesman and a DIYer I never used to wear a mask either. Now I have COPD and asthma. Just sayin'. On the positive side, you're doing a great job on the barn!

[@shermdog6969]

Lean-to greenhouse with that size window.

[@kennethpaladino4948]

All the critters r so chill! Lotsa luv on ur homestead! ❤️👍

[@karenphillips6801]

The picture window is beautiful great deal Katie😊

[@flyingmachinecustomparts8227]

Thanks for including the goats 🐐 in this one those guys make me smile !!! And good job on the new shop /barn

[@billyhaddock5540]

Your flowers are starting to bloom and u'all finished the inside painting. Barn looking cool for the animal's.

[@donnavickery9623]

You should put 2 coats of primer on the walls or at least put a coat of white paint over it. You will not come back in a couple of years and paint it again. The walls will be dirty and the barn will be full of animals or equipment. It you want the barn to last a long time, you should add a second coat of something, when OSB gets wet, it deteriorates.

[@athollmcnicoll1028]

Had it been me doing the dry walling I'd have taped the joints up before painting but as you say Katie , "It will get covered in poop and need refreshing." But it looks a more professional job from an asthetic point of view. Your place, your ideas and your styling .

[@patriciamontague6035]

Tie cord in half knots to keep it in, barn look great 👍

[@thomasjay975]

tie the cords together like how you would your shoe laces (the criss cross part) before you plug it in, and that will prevent it from getting unplugged so easily

[@silvielarischova6137]

pěkně se to rýsuje

[@SunraeSkatimunggr]

I love those goats. The barn is looking really good. Yeah, most projects take me longer than I figured. I have learned to quit telling others when I think it will be done...they are more impressed when it is actually done 🤣.

[@PeterKNoone]

Wow you guys are cranking out the videos! You two probably put in the work equivalent of two people each. Hope you can plan some breaks so you don't burn out because I don't want you to quit :)

[@russellwatters5891]

Katie, a second coat and you could probably hose the poop off...lol 😂😅 Love the way the barn is coming together though, and that huge window could be installed in my future studio there! 😅😊 Love ya'll ❤️

[@randycornell9796]

Sure is coming along nicely.. Stay safe my friends.

[@jimbo16720]

Take the 2 wires and tie them in a 1/2 knot and then plug them together.

[@juanitafoster9834]

The barn is looking great. God bless y'all.

Thanks 😁

[@markholmes1346]

[@lucyl2770]

New barn is looking great! To keep the paint gun plugged into the extension cord, take the end of the gun cord and the extension cord and make a loop as if trying to tie in a knot - but just one loop. Then plug end of each and connect. It’s hard to describe, but hopefully you get the picture. I’ve never had one to come apart as the ends stay plugged into each other

[@robertgarcia7096]

71/2 X 4 is a nice window. That can be used as a bay window. Well, I'm from the coast so I'm familiar with bay windows. In the mountains they may be called something else. Good grab. Little bit of forward thinking right there. Great job guys.

[@eloleddie]

That window looks like a steal of s deal! Congratulations!

[@guypellerrin5441]

Ants are going to make your flower bloom .And your doing a good job with that Barn ...

[@bay9876]

It's a barn and it looks pretty good. Nice work and the animals will love it. The goats are such hams and like to put on a show whenever the cameras are rolling.

[@donnavickery9623]

Wow !!! The barn looks great !!!!

[@SunraeSkatimunggr]

I tie my cords in a soft knot before I plug them together to keep them from coming apart.

[@barrywhitlock141]

when you put the boards up it made the barn look dark, then you put the paint on and now it is light and bright, great work both of you.

[@ThisOffGridLife]

Thanks

[@richardwhite4277]

@ 11:40 already a great video . what a great transformation / I would have watched the window pick up and delivery start to finish

[@robertinnj7902]

You could have done it in two days, but if it takes you two years to finalize it and get it working like a barn should, YOU TWO are doing it just right! (IMHO)

[@SuperJaXXas]

Yeah, barn is looking good folks, good work!

[@49er61]

Awesome job on the barn you two are an awesome team I worked in building for 30 years and would loved to have had you two on my team. Thanks for sharing another great video

[@lolasimmons9152]

Hi Katie and Greg. I'm surprised that you are not insulating the barn, especially in BC, because you get alot of snow and it can be very cold. I was just thinking of your goats and chickens. Then again I don't know a lot about raising farm animals. Looking forward to seeing it all finished. Much appreciated from Kingston Ontario Canada

[@carolfaberpeake857]

Wow the barn looks awesome!! Thanks for all the footage of the chickens, goats 🎉

[@53221carvel]

I would suggest a sheet of plywood or osb on the window to perfect the glass. It need not be attached just strayed on as not to move. Anything can happen.

[@TheHavasu_77]

Looking awesome guys!! 🙌🏻❤️ I also love seeing all the animals in your videos, and was wondering how your guinea hen was doing? Also, that window is HUGE!! Love you guys!! ❤

I don't know if the corded version of that sprayer has pressure adjustments but, If you can turn the pressure down a bit, you'll greatly reduce over spray.

To keep the cord from falling out, just tie a simple knot (the first part of tying a shoe lace) and your good to go.

[@shadowman6299]

Great job. But if the wood remained the same color instead of painting white, it would be beautiful and appropriate. In general, everyone has a taste. Nice achievement

hello this off grid life its is randy and i like yours video is cool thanks friends randy

Will your sill plates touching the ground rot out in a few years?

Tie a knot in the power cord. One loop and then plug it in. Won't come out, no sticky tape .

[@chipprice1174]

It’s looking really good. Ok, I got questions. Will you insulate the walls, in case in cold temps, you could put a heater in there for the animals. The outside is going to be that hardiboard, right?

[@ThisOffGridLife]

No, we don't get cold enough for that here

[@LastChanceTinyHouse]

Get you some of that movable fence and every place you want cleared out, fence them into it and those goats will eat everything green, even the poison oak and ivy.

Hey, Greg & Katy I love seeing you ladies hanging in there with your partners, even though what you are doing is difficult and even sometimes near impossible for you. You always seek to find the means to do whatever it is that you have to do. It really puts to rest the non-sense of arrogant men in it place on the trash heap. These idiots always want to talk about what women can and can't do because of this or that thing. The liars are just bigoted knuckle-heads who try to lift themselves up by tearing woman down. You have my greatest admiration. I've known this all along, but I just needed to say it to you, Katy. Love Reggie.

[@1MartinWaite]

What is this building a barn for animals or a airb&b which I can book out for a few months 😂😂😂😂😂 if you spray your Pinney roses with water mixed with quite a bit of washing up liquid then spray the whole plant including up the stem and buds it will get rid of the pests. Please remember to take a break even if you stay at home you need to rest.xx
