We've Been WAITING For This - Finishing The Lean To On Our BARNDOMINIUM And It Finally Feels REAL

In this video, Greg and Erik continue adding the sides to complete the bents, but have moved to the west side of our home. In some barndominiums or barn houses, people use these sides, or lean to, as covered porches...or in a barn it may be used as the stalls. We are using the sides as a part of our house. Greg and Erik started on the east side of the barndominium, but in this video will be sharing the west side. On this side we have our entryway, dining room, kitchen and garage. It's pretty exciting getting to see the exact amount of space we will have for these rooms and this side is the one we've been waiting to see!

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, with 8 bents going up being the latest excitement! Now, we are working on securing the bents and adding to the structure.

Here's the video where all 8 bents are put up in one day- it was pretty amazing:

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