Having built some pole Barnes for.myself I would suggest adding some insulation now while it is being built. Much cheaper to throw on some between the steel and structure now. Then if you want to section off more areas for added insulation down the road you can.

You definitely want to go 16 foot doors. Build it once build it right. Big rv campers, big trucks need big doors. And taller doors offer better resale value down the road should you want to re sell it. More attractive to someone with big equipment

There are two types of concrete. The kind that is cracked and the kind that hasn't cracked yet.

I love this series. Reminds me of Clarkson’s Farm.

All the keyboard masters are now part of Local 139 and know how to run all the equipment they play with on their computer.

You guys need those bigger doors because Tommy may need the extra room so he doesn’t hit them haha Plus it’s need to be TFL red with white.

I run heavy equipment daily and also manage the largest granite fabrication shop in Denver if y’all need something reach out we’re right down the road

Photographer/videographer here - You guys also will have the advantage with that barn of being able to install and hang some fixed photography/videography light and softboxes to showcase cars in an almost studio/professional manufacturer sort of way, would be an easy way to take your channel to a whole new level above the competition if you had proper lighting in a space like this

I love watching this! We bought some acreage 2 years ago. I cut the 1/4 mile driveway and some walking and ATV trails myself. After running a skid steer for summer work in college 20+ years ago the learning curve was short but the progress slow. Fortunately we had time so it worked out alright. I left the big dig excavating for the house to the professionals (who actually allowed me to drive the 6x6 Articulating Dump for them!) Good heavy equipment operators are fun to watch and extremely underappreciated! The right equipment and a good operator is the best real world argument for hiring a job out vs DIY I can think of; keep up the great work TFL Crew!

Wow, that's a lot of money for a barn. What are you planning to do with the barn? Just store things? I imagine if you are going to produce videos in it that you will want to heat it, which will be a big expense. Great series guys. Thanks for the inside look.

The skidsteer is the Swiss Army knife of the construction world.

I would do a 3rd door on the back for cross ventilation it will make a huge difference in the hot summer months

This is one of my favorite videos at TFL so far. You will never regret going with a Morton.

Wow that's really expensive. Keep on working guys, this is the good content

Where's the Tumbleweed Ranch merch? Love this series. Can't wait to see how you do your cut/fill. I will say I'm with the rest that say get the 16' high building with a 16x14 door. However, I'm not the one writing the checks so what I say doesn't matter. Morton sent the right man for the on camera work. He's a natural. No clownish overblown sales crap. Just straightforward information. Love it. Well done Morton. If you guys really want to get fancy, put in a heated slab (pre place lift mounts though!). Not sure how hot that thing is going to be in the summer with only a couple windows for cross flow ventilation. Maybe add a garage door on the west side (that's gonna get hot in the summer when the sun hits it). Good west winds coming off the front range will move the air through nicely.

I love seeing the stages. You guys will have your own backyard playground

Hello from Salt Lake City, Utah. Thanks for producing entertaining quality content keep it up :)

The saga continues!

Loving this series. It's exciting times for TFL. As a DIYer , I'm happy David is getting more screen time, he knows his stuff. Love that you're transparent on pricing too.

Really enjoying this series guys! Keep up the great work!

Lift with your knees, Andre, or your back will be like David's (or mine) in a few years!

David rock'in his geology! Love it!

Just think all the baby old cars ... Tommy can put in there!

I love Roman. I always get the sense that he like trips a lot and is always the one who spills his glass across the dinner table. He’s a goof.

First of all, Morton Bldgs originated in Morton, IL, over 60 yrs ago. Originally just local to central Illinois but now all over the country. And, for insulation, you ought to check into spray foam. It acts as a vapor barrier also so you don't get condensation. Lastly, I'm envious. I want a shop to play in!

Great videos guys keep them coming , what about a D6 bull dozer for clearing the land probably flatten the ground quicker

I have a feeling Denver east equipment may be having second thoughts 🤔 lolol

Wow, Morton. Top notch. Love the series. Morton has a lot of ways to accessorize.

Great video Roman, it is a big undertaking to build something and a blast to watch take shape, i designed a house with my wife in 1999 and we did our own drafting , sent it in to the city to get it approved and permits and watched it take shape right from digging the basement to move in day, Taming Tumble Weed Ranch series is going to be great and look forward to each and everyone, so many in the comments say how much for a pole barn, it is just a sign of the times, globally it is product in demand everywhere you look, you'll make additions along the way to suit your work needs and tastes and hey it's what we humans are all about our individuality and makes others say hey that neat or thats cool i would have never pictured it that way,It'll simply be awesome, journey begins with the first step or bucket load in this case 👍

13:40 .. that stump 😲

Great video - Keep up the good work. Stay safe!

A backhoe will take you forever and is not the right tool. You need at least a D3 or D6 dozer

I'm a heavy equipment operator, if you wanna fly me out I'll do all the digging for you! Lol

I thoroughly enjoy living in the country, that land is gorgeous 😍

Taming Tumbleweed could be on DIY channel. Lot of fun

You could easily drill through the rock bed using a rock drill that has a water tank used to cool the drill bit and an air compressor that acts as a jack hammer and blows out all the ground up rock. We deal with it up here with granite in New Hampshire.

I'm a bit surprised the "regular" bucket has a wielded lip and not a bolt on sacrificial lip. High use will make bucket uneven also can switch between saturated teeth and smooth bucket. Surprised also no pallet forks. What ever boots are ok once they are broken in, composite toe is good for heavy equipment.

I love this series, so epic for TFL. Can’t wait to see every video.

Great job and David is a Saint. 👍

Enjoying your videos Can’t wait to see more !!!!!

16 feet would also give more height if you guys wanted to put any lifts in for getting under vehicles, or for storing more vehicles by stacking on and under a lift.

This is great content...I love trying new equipment.👍

That's why you get tracked skid steers a lot less jumpy but that was great to watch had me laughing pretty hard at times since I run heavy equipment for a living

I love these videos. Keep em up boys.

I highly suggest you buy the tracks that fit over the tires that gives you more tread and power to move earth. The wheel’s will lose traction easier. The big track that goes over the tires works really well.

Rock can be drilled. Need an air track or hydra track. Very noisy job when drilling rock.

Just loving this series! That pole barn will be looking good. So, kind of wondering if you could have drilled through that stump, run a chain through and attached it to the hitch on the Ram. Just wondering if that Cummins could have pulled it out.

I would put 14ft tall doors. Only because Semi's are 13'6" and if Andre has got his CDL or still in the process no semi will fit in a 12ft door unless its a flat top with no stacks. Just a thought.

$200K for a barn? Get yourself a second opinion and don't tell them what you previously got quoted..

If you sell two TRX's you can afford a barn to park them in.

Exciting!!!

Fun watching your build process, brings back somewhat recent nightmares that I went through 6 years ago in the foothills above Golden on the side of a mountain. First step was trying to tame the mountainside and creating a flat spot to build the building on. Literally it was making lemonade out of lemons. It did limit the size I could build though (did not have unlimited funds), eventually ended up with a 25 x 65 x 25 foot steel building. The next step was trying to decide between a pole barn or steel building. Since I wanted the most space possible but had a limited footprint, opted for a two story steel structure as I wanted the first story to be able to accommodate any size vehicle possible and ended up with 14 feet tall garage doors. Not possible with a pole barn as I believe they are limited to 16 foot sidewalls. Talked to a number of contractors,including Morton. Morton was the worst by far as the individual I dealt with had a “ glass 3/4 empty attitude”. Was nearly impossible to get him to come up and even quote me as he did not want to drive from Fort Morgan or Sterling or wherever on the plains he was to Golden. Upon his arrival as he was exiting his pickup truck he proclaimed it would be an impossible build. Why? I live at the end of a cul-de-sac and he claimed there was no way he could bring a semi truck up and be able to turn it around. End of discussion and he was gone. Guess what? Eventually I found someone to build it, and they brought a semi up with the parts and easily turned the truck around at the end of the large cul-de-sac with no issues. At any point, I could ramble forever. Had many other challenges, took forever, and am enjoying the barn. But it was an incredible nightmare to get it built! Good luck and will continue to enjoy the videos!

The Oscar goes to Roman for best actor, City Slickers III.

Greg is a huge dude if Roman is 6'2...

Good lord that’s a lot of money for that barn. And I don’t even include a slab. I just built a 40 x 60 steel building 16 foot tall with two walk doors and four rollup doors pulling straight through and an 8 inch concrete slab with 24 inch concrete beams going in and out of each door for pulling dozers up onto to be worked on for the grand total of $110,000 and that also included spray in foam insulation. By the way that little skid steer you had will not operate a stump grinder it is a standard flow machine. You have to get one with a high flow to be able to spin the grinding wheel at any speed strong enough to grind a stump. Just call a reputable guy in town that owns a stone grinder and I have him come out unless you wanna dig it up with the backhoe.

Everything right now is expensive

🇺🇸😱 There goes the neighborhood! I'm sure the ranch will be a gathering of fans and trash. ... better add porta potties and gigantic trash bins. Add Parking too.

Morton is one of the premier builders and you pay big in my area. I went with a northern Indiana builder. I had them use Perma- columns and I had a guy to come in for my radiant in floor heat. Since I was planning on a 2 post car lift the concrete is thicker in that area. If you could watch RR Buildings on KZfaq they can be a big help. Do yourself a favor get another quote. I specked out good doors with insulation. By the time you are ready for your second building you will know better what you want.

DAVID!

Gonna have to blast that

For work like this you guys should've got a track machine. For something that always sees dirt I'd always go track over tires

You should get a mulching head for the skid steer itll grind stumps and do other.things like clearing land itll cut down & grind up entire trees itll mulch up pretty much anything you put infront of them

If you need a posthole digger just follow me trying to get through the coast mountains in BC once the sun comes up 😂 I can get you all the postholes

Go 16!

Building costs in this country have just gone bonkers.

Watching you guys operate equipment is like me trying to use a computer. Nice vid.

You don't go with a pole barn in this situation. Go with a monolithic slab and a steel building. NO WOOD!

Ha Ha I like these kinds of videos.

In the computer animation that starts at 36:15, all the openings for vehicles/walk-thrus are on only one side of the building. There are no other openings on the three other sides. Wouldn't it be prudent to put a walk-out doorway on the opposite side of the building as an emergency exit? Honest question.

An architect without any tools, sounds about right.

Morton Buildings have always been way overpriced. There are lots of other manufacturers you can go with and most like cut that price in half. BTW Greg Ure seems very cocky and very creepy. I would have walked his ass off my property the minute he showed up.

Barn needs more windows

If it snows much at the ranch you will regret having doors on the side wall. Should definitely go 12' wide doors minimum

You should have linked up with RR Buildings for this build.

i'm from kansas and see them every year at the state fair, if i could afford it i would buy land and have one built to be my house

Every man turns back into a 6 year old when big yellow machines with buckets show up. I don't care who you are :)

in canada anything over 600sq ft on a slab still needs a 4’ foundation wall

In Australia, just about every skid steer loader has a 4 in 1 bucket as standard.

Steel all day long. Not only do they look better they will be worth far more and last longer.

I have a metal construction based in albania i resemtly did a 230 feet by 70 feet for 80k

Add skylights for natural light

I think you will regret not going with 16’ tall walls and oversized doors. Like they say, buy once cry once.

Barn guy sounds like Bill Walton. Gonna be an expensive barn.

The amount of times I rewatched that phone call😂, the architect kept going along with it saying 'good' and 'yu-huh' too...

Sorry if i missed it but can you clarify the size of this building and if everything you needed done, including cement work, is included in that 130k?

WTF ….in my neck of the woods that would be around $60,000 for that pole barn.

i thought they bought that skid steer

I love TFL . For those of you gettin uneasy , for whatever reason , idk. Seems like y’all are extra broke. But don’t be discouraged by others success. Just keep plugging away. Hard work is the only thing that pays off, not complaining

Any office space inside?

34:11 what about that structure?

It makes my skin crawl watching you guys try this. It's like your making a commercial for why you should hire a professional

Money to burn. A lot of people have money to burn baby.

Love the video. And enjoyed the geology lesson. Be careful, you're going to trigger the creationist nuts

Guess I should of watched the whole video before commenting. You are going to regret having the doors on the sidewall. Oh well live, and learn

A lotta giggling between these two...

Go steel building with monolithic slab. Buy once, cry once!

In Australia there called sheds

Man is there anything that's not expensive nowadays? Remember when people were building pole barn homes for cheap alternatives? Although with the housing market nowadays I guess it's probably still a cheap alternative........sheeesh...

you guys are having way to much fun to ever call it work....

im guessing amish builders would be cheaper and faster, but there's probably not many of them in Colorado.....
