It's FINALLY Time To Build Our BARNDOMINIUM - Putting Up ALL Eight BENTS Using A CRANE And A LIFT

This is the video we have all been waiting for! All of the milling and all of the hard work has brought us to this day - standing up all 8 bents for our barndominium ( barnhouse ) using a crane, a lift and an eager crew! This is the very beginning of building our own home on our own - the timbers are now attached and we are ready!
We have a great group to help with this HUGE task:
Greg- the owner
Erik- Greg's right hand man and brother-n-law
Brian - a family friend
John - a family friend
Dean - father-n-law (Beth and Holly's dad)
Kanyen - Erik and Holly's son
Holly - (helping film today) Beth's sister and Erik's wife
Beth - (filming and the editor) the other owner - Greg's wife
Linda - mother-n-law watching Bo ALL DAY so Beth can film today
Dennis and Pam - Greg's dad and stepmom - providing lunch, support and encouragement throughout the build
Sam and Bryce - Greg's brother and nephew - helping with work to get us to this point
Austin - Greg's nephew, also helping along the way
Deana - sister-n-law( Beth's sister) supporting from a distance and always our number one commenter and biggest YouTube fan!
Just wanted to make sure to mention all of these people because they have helped so much along the way and we truly appreciate it. We may be building on our own, but we are definitely not on our own. Thank you, also, to other and family and friends who have encouraged and supported us and believed in our crazy dream!
And, YOU! Thank you so much to all of our subscribers, viewers and commenters. We truly appreciate your support, your insight, your encouragement and your excitement - thank you! We really do feel like we are growing a group of friends!
We hope you enjoy this video and ALL 8 bents going up! It is SO much bigger and better than we imagined- makes us SO excited to keep building and to keep sharing!

We are milling our barndominium - barn house out of wood that we are milling on our own sawmill. If you haven't followed along with our BARN Build, (which is now our barn house build) make sure to check out that series in our playlists. We finished the first slab last summer, we milled most of the timbers needed over this past winter/spring, added plumbing, put in a second slab for our garage and now we have started building our barndominium - barnhouse - lodge - our home.

Here's the video where we share our change in plans and decide to turn our barn into our home:

Here is the video where we share our barn plans. Our plans are from ‪‪‪‪‪‪‪@BarnGeek‬ . We are excited to build one of his beautiful barns and turn it into our home:

***We are also so excited to have completed our sawmill cover enclosure (sawmill shed). Definitely check out our Sawmill Playlist to watch it all happen. We have shared the process of building our sawmill cover from the very beginning. We have a Woodland Mills HM130 Max sawmill and we live in North Idaho. The sawmill cover / sawmill shed is vital to continue milling for our barn build in the winter months, but it will also be a great way to keep out of the sun during the summer months, and of course all of the rain, in between!

Here is a link to the video that shares the sawmill cover / sawmill shed build from start to finish:

   • Sawmill Cover Build - Start To Finish...  

Here are the specs on the sawmill cover / sawmill shed we built:

3 posts in the front
4 posts in the back
Overall dimensions are 15 feet wide by 36 feet long
Longest beam is 28 feet
Front part of the lean to roof is 11'9" and back is 8'
It will have a 3 :12 pitch
Posts and beams are going to be 7 1/2" x 7 1/2"
We have shared the entire build!
