I think when the dozer is there for the house, it better do that barn too. It would probably cost more to repair it than to replace it. If you want to stay with that type barn, you might check to see if there are any Amish builders in the area that could do them.

Update on taking over the land, please. Can't wait for you to really see what you have!!

Love y’all’s property! If you have a volunteer fire dept near you they sometimes will burn old structures just for the experience and training for new volunteers. I know ours do here in Alabama. They do it for free too! That would save you guys some money.

You two are ready! With Family Support, and your. Research Knowledge.Everything with the K&S Get Out Farm will be amazing.💜

When you get really seriously into the wood cutting get an expert in who knows timber. Use their knowledge to identify the timber suitable for indoor fires, timber useful for building eg garden beds, pens, leantos etc, timber that needs to be burnt. Remember firewood needs to season at least 12 months before use.

Cut the trees up for fire wood, if some of the barn boards are salvageable sell or use them somewhere. Kyle and Chad r definitely brothers, when the bugs were flying in ur mouth, 😆 🤣 😂. As always God bless stay safe until the next video 😍

Y’all are starting a big adventure, enjoy every moment of it. You can’t go wrong with a Kubota. Enjoy.

The barn is not worth paying someone to check on. You have seen why the barn has failed at that location (water path) so you'll need to relocate to a location that will allow you to keep your equipment out of the damp and mud. Consider moving some earth to build up a nice level area for both the house and a large multi-storage barns/buildings area. Think about getting a tiller attachment for your tractor for making your garden and any fodder crop acreage you will need. I like the 'step down' levels, you could remove or thin out existing trees then add in fruit and nut trees. It's fun seeing the property. Thank you for sharing it with us.

A lot of trees to be removed in the land clearing project. It may be cheaper in the long run to flag the trees you want to keep and have professional clear remaining. They can do in a day that would take weeks for you to do. Just a suggestion for your safety and cost effectiveness. It would just take them a few minutes to tear down the barn.

Walnut trees are the first to lose their leaves in the fall. So Don't judge the tree by the lack of leaves.

If the barn can't be saved is looks like some of the interior walls and round posts look to be in decent shape and you may be able to repurpose them.

So glad Chad introduced your channel! I've been binge watching to catch up with you. Keep up the good work.

You need a blade for your weed eater. You could cut all the small trees, weeds,and bushes with the blade. When you cut these, be sure to cut as low as you can to the ground. That will keep someone from tripping.

❤ I will be praying your family, including Chad's and Grandpa's family stays safe in the storms, those storms scare me to death...I just love all of your family and your videos. 🙏🙏🙏 The barn is in bad shape, but I would definitely save some of the wood if you tear it down, there seemed to be some good wood in there.

Save up, and build a big honking Barn dominium. EVERYTHING UNDER ONE ROOF!! God bless y’all in all that you do!!!

When the barn comes down and the boards are not rotted SAVE THEM... you won't regret it for future use. Rent machinery and clear out the area before winter. Running a bulldozer is lots of fun. Save yourself some time. Good luck I have been where you are, enjoy the process. BTW have you seen any of the roosters????

I would definitely try to salvage some of the barn wood if you can for a future project. It's too bad the barn needs to come down but for safety reasons, I think it's best. Loving the new video and chainsaw action.

I am 63 years old women and asked for a chain saw for Christmas last year, it’s just a little 12 inches but I am having a blast cleaning up the woods around our home. Have fun, be safe and enjoy your progress. ❤️. As for the barn maybe you could take it down but use some of the boards when building the new barn so you can have some of the old with the new.

Nice job. Split it, stack it, tarp it and save for woodstove or fireplace

I think it would cost more to fix the barn than it's worth, been neglected for way to long. Watch and love tbe family. Be safe

FYI, when cutting saplings or cutting brush (when you get a tractor) those little stumps you leave in the ground love tires. Better to remove the hole thing.

The first look is always a glance, the second and third, is always much different. You will find many more adventures. Thank you and God Bless you for sharing.

Boys and their toys! Loved walking around your place with you both! My Dad was a Collector of Everything from trees to pipes throughout my life. We repurposed many things and built 2 homes and cusomized a VW van back in the 60s. He was an art Professor and loved to share his knowledge with others. There appears to be alot of good wood in that barn and I know there are things in the house that can be repurposed...hint hint.

1 wasp sting hurts horribly I can't even imagine more than 1. Better to stay safe

When you using chain saw lift the log off the ground so you don't get the chain into the ground. Even if you lean it on a nother log

The barn is a wash, there is no way of saving it. I would believe that all the structures on the property are unsalvageable. Looking forward to seeing what comes next. Huge love 💖 from Canada.

As new chainsaw user... Important to avoid hitting the ground with the chainsaw IT WILL BLUNT THE CHAIN VERY QUICKLY. This needing resharpening and decreasing life of the chain. If at all possible cut only wood abo e ground. If unavoidable with wood lying on the ground cut say jalf way roll the wood over and cut remainder agaon from top to meetup with existing cut, thus no need to gp into ground.. one posiboty is trim branches/wood hanging above ground , trimming back piece by piece until grounded trunk remains. Not cut larger part free to fall to ground. Then do the grounded remainder as above, hslf way, roll, do rest of cut. Your chainsaw will work well, with sharp saw chain longer, then after much cutting, sooner or later resharpeni g is required. After several sharpening cycles cpn sider a new chain. Also keep an eye on lubrication oil supply and correct tension for the chain, again life is dependant on proper use.

I'm glad you are looking it over before using the chainsaw.

Boys and their toys. I feel you. I was right there with you. Takes me back to Tim the Tool Man Taylor.

Hey what about the trail cam findings ?☹️ darn, was looking forward to seeing what was on it!! Definitely a beautiful piece of land!!

Can't wait for yall to have family work day! Be safe

Last year, for Christmas, I bought a little handheld chain saw from Amazon. I spent a whole month trimming my oleander bushes. I had such a blast. My backyard looks so clean now. Good luck with your renovations. Spray yourselves with bug repellant so those gnats will leave you alone.

I like the barn also especially the posts inside with what looks like logs.Looks like LOTS of work to fix it up. Thanks for sharing!

I would suggest a couple extra chains for the chainsaw. That way when one gets dull change it to a new one. Then get the dull on sharpened. That or learn to sharpen them yourself.

Sorry about your barn. The way the broken limb was, I couldn't tell if it which way it was going to fall. Good job cutting and getting it down. God bless ❤🙏

THANKS FOR THE TOUR. IT LOOKS SOOO NICE OUT THERE. LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING MORE FROM YOU.

Take pictures and salvage what wood you can. Its hard to save old barns but the look can be saved with panels, doors, beams that are saved. Best of luck 🤞

I love watching a young couple forging ahead building a homestead. Good Look & Many Blessings to you guys!!

That's definitely a locust, and those thorns, besides doing some painful damage to anyone who gets stuck by one are also very rough on tires. I've seen them tear up a rear tractor tire. Although the wood is good for a lot of things, in my opinion, they're best marked for the dozer and bonfire.

DO NOT BURN THAT WOOD! You should try to pull out as much of the red planks as possible. No matter the condition. Turn that barn into $$! Stack it, or even leave it where it lays. Put an ad in the DIY & Handicrafts sections on Craig's List. List it in several towns nearby. Those boards are gold! People will travel a ways to get a whole load or just some of it. Offer it for one big price for all of it, & they pull it down. Or pull it down for them (tractor & chain) & they load & haul it for a little more.

That barn needs to come down just like the house, and start from ground zero

Now that you are on KZfaq and you have 100 more mom's and dad's that are going to hound you about what you and Shanon should do and protection for your eyes and etc of what you should wear. Just enjoy your new land and keep the video's coming and be careful. God bless.

That tree across the trail was just a sasquatch gate ! Don't worry !

Yea barn come down. Excited for ya'll. Have a bless day. Love you guys.

I’d tear it down and start over with a new one.God Bless y’all

You could contact the local fire department and have them do a “controlled burn” of the barn and other structures. The would do that as a training exercise.

That was a HUGE limb that came down. And you had fun with your new toy .

When the limb landed on the ground, it looked like a croc with it's head up!!

Love the videos! Brings back memories of my own land and how we cleared it ourselves

My husband just recently bought an Echo chainsaw with 20" bar needed a longer bar for some of the trees he cuts. He has a Stihl for his trimming now were looking into one for me to take all the limbs off . I'm excited to use one. Cut up that wood for bon fires while your working out there then you can cook over the fire. The key is just be careful. Also cut those little trees down ground level or you will be tripping over them all the time. I would keep some of the barn wood looks good. But I think it needs to come down probably cost to much to fix it up. On the chainsaws im in Missouri up by Kirksville go to the Amish if you have any close have them give you pricing for helping clear your property if there's things you can't do. We also bought our chainsaw from Amish really reasonable.

I feel for safety you should doze it with the house. If you could get the roof peeled off and possibly save some siding. Makes for nice accent shelving/cabinet. Could use to clad a chicken coop or make a miniature barn for storage.

Locust trees have beautiful flowers!

Good morning prayers for safety God bless love ya'll

Like you I love the style of the barn. I hope someone can get it back for you. Lovely property.

the barn need to be torn down and rebuilt Kyle you and shannon are doing an awesome job on the land trying to fix it up

Looking forward to seeing what you all will do with this property. Have fun and be safe!

Great work you 2. You will get there. Xx

Looks like good firewood for the future. Have fun you two❤️🙏

Great video y'all Take Care and God Bless

There is a Lot of good barn lumber that people will pay big bucks for interior decor. My brother was paid to demolish an old barn and clear it off the property. He saved the good lumber pieces and offered it online and made a bundle.

Yep, the barn needs to come down also.

That barn is done !

Chainsaws are so much fun to use. It's instant gratification!

Love your little piece of heaven! You are going to have fun exploring and building a home there.

I love look of barn, but repairs would be costly. Maybe tear down and salvage as much wood as you can? To rebuild a safer one. Could it be squared up? Metal siding someday? Good luck. Fun to see you really see what you are facing and making decisions to what is best. Thank you for sharing. Already looking better!

Really enjoy watching

Gonna have to learn how to sharpen that chain

The barn looks like it is a total takedown. Maybe some of the wood is salvageable. Have you thought about a metal barn? That might be the way to go. Nice seeing you guys explore the land! PS

Great job on that tree Kyle great job watching for hazards to hubby Shannon you two are so cute

get the app on your phone to take pics of plants to tell you what the plants are your looking at

Buy or rent a wood planer to salvage some of the wood. It will make an awesome ceiling for your new house

Thank you for taking us with you on your new farm! Love your channel! Have ya'll seen any of the roosters Chad brought over there?

The locust trees here in Pa. are nowhere near as intimidating as those Honey Locust, those thorns are wicked. I am in agreement with everyone, take down the barn and salvage what you can for the new barn or another project you'd find interesting [so many possibilities]. Can't wait until the next blog, the two of you are the cutest couple, until next time K&S.

We don’t want you to be stung either be safe 🐝

You may better off getting a drozer and clearing and leveling things up. But just go step by step you both can get it the way you want it. God bless you both.🙏❤🙏❤🙏😊😊😊

Nice to see you today yes it looks like the barn is going to have to come down for y'all safety look forward to y'all's new videos and see how you come along with your home place

It would be great to save the outside wood for other projects and decorating 💕💕

Hahahaha, I love it. Shannon called him cute with his chain saw! ROFLMAO, that is too funny! Awesome!

The side walls look complete. The roof and loft floor need to go. Whatever you can salvage will save money. It needs to be sitting on concrete, not dirt. Pull off that roof and loft, jack it up and put it on supports, and replace the loft floor and roof.

That mushroom looked like a brain. Those trees are wicked!

Like watching your videos, that will be a beautiful place when it is all cleaned up. From Kentucky USA.

Great to see you guys. Lots of work ahead. Thanks for sharing. Chris from England.

Thanks for sharing your adventures with us and God Bless you all

You might want to look at skid steer with tracks only you would want a bigger sized one what's nice they have so many attachment's that you can go rent them

Good call guyz not to put new equipment in the barn because it may fall. Y'all stay safe, hope ya made it home b4 it rained or the bugs carried ya off.

Great work with chainsaw ,I love y’all video that is a tear down barn . Y’all’s land is pretty all some great job on cutting trees that had fallen . ❤️👍

Look into a forestry Mulcher to clear a lot of your property. You may be able to find someone who does that or some rental places offer them.

also making sure when using your chainsaw, you don't cut down in the dirt. It will dull your chain

Awesome property.

😆 ENJOYed

Hi y'all. Your audience has really come to love your family. So glad to see you taking every precaution and being safe. ....The crafter in me is seeing all kinds of "Homestead Sweet Homestead" kinds of signs out of the red barn wood...LOL.......The doors would be sweet to use in a new home....I know y'all will make the best decisions on what to do. Get all the advice you can, but my dad always told me, "Free advice is sometimes worth just what you pay for it"".....Tysm for letting us watch. All the best to you and yours. : )

Looks like the barn needs to come down like the house

That was very good lovie that you were so careful with the chainsaw well done. Lots of wood to cut and use for firewood. Keep safe GOD BLESS New Zealand

I've always found it easier to start at the top and work back toward the butt of the limb

Not being critical, but if you cut about half way thru on the top of the limb and then finish the cut from underneath it will save you a lot of time on limbs that are suspended from the ends. So that it falls to the ground without binding up on the bar. I am no expert by any means, but I have used a chainsaw for about 30 years. It's just an observation that might help save you some time and aggravation. Keep it up, it's awesome that you guys are starting your dream!

Congratulations. I’m guessing since you brought your toys, oops tools, with you that you closed on the property. Let the fun (hard work) begin. Looking forward to following your journey. From Gig Harbor, WA.

Take pics of the barn to have when you want to rebuild. I love the look of it.

Looks like a lot of work, but exploring too! But staying together makes it fun 😁! Thanks for the videos, stay safe out there, God Bless 🤗💕!

You need to have Chad briing his drone over so you can see the land from the air and map out where you want access and what you want to do with it. Much easier to plan your access if you can see it from above.

When it comes time to do some major clearing of your property with brush hogs and chain saws, I see a collaboration opportunity with a couple channels you may know, namely Adler Farms and Grandpa of Adler Farms, lol. I'll bet Shanon and the Doss boys can get a fair bit done. Heather🇨🇦
