Nice! Was looking for diy scaffolding ideas. This one is one of the best so far. Probably going to try out this idea.

Hello Peter. Your septic field , 5,000 square feet, will be a little over three times the size of my house. I am sure the most fun will be when the last chore has been finished. Have good days!

In the 11 years I owned my farm in Montague township, I had to "top up" the driveways (we had two) with gravel 3 times. At the time, it was a cheap enough exercise. Not sure about these days...

Good job. You only had to adjust the left ramp?

Amazing job

Hello Peter. Nice intro that was walked off perfectly. If a bulldozer comes in, it will probably unearth some more rocks. This is going to get fun, for some of us. Have good days!

I did this same thing back in February 2024 and took out 18 trees, came back in with a skid steer to clear a drive and 100 ft. by 60 foot area for home. It is a lot of work.

Peter, I had to clear a line of trees for a border fence once. It took me days and days, and was back-breaking, even at the tender age of 43 or so...

I admit to being not-a-little envious. I have wanted to build something very similar for years, but my ex-wife made sure I'd never be able to do anything like that. We lived on a beautiful farm property outside of Smiths Falls for many years. Until we didn't -- the beginning of the end for us as a couple. You plans look achievable and modest, and I salute you! So many people who "build their dream home" on a country property just go completely overboard. Your design is modest and livable, and since you already have a workshop of non-trivial size, the things you might have wanted to add space for in your house can instead happen in your workshop.

Hello Peter. Now you are really close to why you had the electrical addition to your property. I will believe you about the coat, but I need to slightly disagree. The zipper and coat seams look good. Perhaps it is a reversable jacket as I have one of those that is a puffer jacket. I could not get 24' x 56' to equal 1,450 square feet. I get 1,344 square feet. Perhaps there is some more room included. You showed enough of the shop to reveal that there is no more insulation on the floor. I know you like that fact. Was there any left over? Your epoxy projects look interesting. I enjoy watching Formula 1 races. Have good days!

Use a snowmobile helmet to block all snow and wind from your face and neck…. I don’t understand why you people without cabs don’t do it but yet complain about the snow blowing in your face…. I just solved your issue…

It begs for a yellow dashed line down the road

Why too

Why?

very cool

Nice. It’s always a good day when power comes to a property. Heads up though. As far as you running it out to another building. You should look into renting an excavator and digging a trench yourself and laying the pipe yourself and pulling the wire yourself. It’s dramatically cheaper than having more poles driven and you don’t have to look at wires going over head. Or worry about trees taking the wires out in a storm.

I suppose we will see the rest of the process later.

Thank you ❤

I have a 2014 sierra SLT in very good condition, every 2-3 years I take the black flaring off the fenders then the liners which have about 14 srews, I spray it out and then spray Krown in and lots in the lip, the inner wells and the lips are like new, cheap maintainence but hard work, I am 78 and only do one per day, if you have a hoist it would be a lot easier.

What size are the detergent tanks? 2 half gallon tanks?

Hello Peter. It looks like you are getting set up for some projects. I look forward to seeing them. Have good days!

You have a great set up there Peter. Nice hoard of wood.

What a useless video

I purchased one of these about 5 years ago, same size engine but 3200 psi. It has performed quite well for me. I did have to buy a new pump but that wasn't the fault of the old pump, it was mine for not treating it properly. I added quick connects to all of the connections and bought a much more flexible 50 ft. washer hose for it that handles so much better than the stock 25ft hose that comes with it. Be sure to run some pump saver anti-freeze and lubricant through the pump before storing it for winter, otherwise if there's water in the pump it can freeze and burst on you and you'll need a new pump too, lol.

Why no surface cleaner? Could have finished it inside a day!

How long did it take to insulate all the walls? I'm building the same size post frame.

My dad and I made a lovely oak workbench when I was about 13. I still have it. Oak 2 x 4", pinned and glued on the long face, so quite a thick construction, then planed. Strip of mahogany on the front, and supported on 4 x 4" cedar legs.

Backhoe learning school! These kids don't know the luck they have! haha

Thanks for the video! In the manual they also want you to run water through the garden hose before attaching it to the pressure washer to let debris clear.

Awsome project and video.We are not far from your place we are in Toledo Ont. and planing to build pole darn on bead rock. How did you drill holes for your foundation?

Hello Peter. Not having a shop, all I have are questions. Is your shop vac near the initial exit of the dust when cutting wood? If there is room, would a hinged frame work for holding the filters in place? Hinged on the bottom. It looks good and should work. I saw someone use a box fan on the side for three sides for filters. Have good days!

Fans start at the highest setting to give the motor enough electricity to get started, if they started on the lowest setting there would be a risk of stalling. Same thing with most house fans.

Give us an update later on with thoughts how it’s performing after a bit of use. Looks like a decent affordable solution. Dust is a killer.

Shouldn't the fan be sucking the air instead of blowing? The fan will stay clean and the filters will be held in place by the airflow. Just a suggestion.

If you make another one try using the metal throat plate as a guide to cut the wood with a router and a flush trim bit that has a collar. Might need a little sanding but should be more accurate than trying to follow a curve with a jigsaw.

Great video. I need to do some body work on my '98 chevy W/T. Thanks!!

Nine tire

This is great, thanks so much for sharing! Could you explain the equation you used to calculate the 28.25" for the jamb opening?

Ok Ijust finished it. the table looks great. the glue up is what im mostly concerned about. I do like the idea of gluing it in stages, was there anything that you would of done differently. How long have you been enjoying meals on it? has the finish held up well?

Its a long video, which I like, Its the first one of yours ive come across. when Im done listening to this podcast ill start your video. But Ive been wanting to build my wife ( and I guess me) a table much like this so I think that this willprovide lots of insight.

I have a similar plot and intend to follow you. What's the depth of the pins in the rock for the piers?

after 3 years hows your post holders are holding, any rust or deformation etc?

What’s up with the flag of a corrupt country

You flexed the disk bud

Great work! How long did you have to let the wood cure after you cut them into boards on your sawmill?

And pre drill is a lot faster

My boss don’t let us cut panels with grinder or blade all snips or nibblers cutting it like that voids warranty

I would love to have been able to construct mine (30’x40’) but I didn’t have the time and my local builder had a great price at the time, also prepandemic. I did finish out the interior after subbing out the spray foam insulation. My other subcontractors were a plumber for a bathroom and electrician for the main panel and wiring. If I have any regrets it would be that I could still use more room. The one thing that I did that I really like is a 10’x40’ covered porch on the front where I can park two vehicles if I have to, and where I do a lot of woodworking.

Needed to see vent pipe start to finish cap
