Eden is definitely turning into quite the little helper…she’s always eager to get stuck in with anything…🥰🇦🇺
Eden deserves a big pat on her back. She's absolutely amazing. Always ready and eager to help. Our Aoife is the same. Can't wait til the next vid. 🥰
and I can't even get mine to wash a up up after use!
What has saved me lots of time and on-the-fly math, even for something as simple as adjusting grade, is what the surveyors over here call a cut-and-fill rod. It’s got a zero mark, and 50cm marked +/- either side the zero, and a sliding mount you clamp your laser receiver to. The bottom section has a ruled extension that you can fix to whatever length you want. Slide the receiver to zero, drop the foot so you’re reading your grade, clamp the extension in place and then when you are walking the site, you just slide the reciever up or down and get an instant grip on how you need to adjust, with dead on accuracy. We also have a magnetic mount for the receiver that we can place on the digger stick, and if you’re careful you can grade pretty accurately by yourself in the cab. Because we’re using a more heavyweight (and relatively ancient, now) Spectra unit, we had fabricated an aluminium mount that has heavy magnets so we can stick in to an upright beam or steel-clad wall, and not risk running over the tripod while we’re zooming around with the loader, or tractor with a towed grading blade. (we’ve done far too much work inside shops and barns prepping for concrete or digging in sumps and plumbing lines).
Good to see the kids helping to build their inheritance!
Apart from a fab home - the family memories you are building are priceless...
Eden is fab, love her enthusiasm and confidence.
I vote for Upsy Daisy 😁
As somebody who classes themselves as being very good with computers, tech etc... Seeing those renders blew me away. Very, very clever stuff. Could definitely imagine myself as an architect etc... in a different life.
Crazy how much processing the renders take too. So nice to visualise things.
How on earth do you jointly run a farm, look after three kids, and do a conversion of this scale, all while recording it on video. Do any of you sleep?
Because he gets the kids on jobs. He has lots of money. He has good friends and family to help and advise. Try doing that build on your own. Sadly British community family and society have died. Also his DIY escalation is steady, his skills and confidence have grown slowly over a decade.
@@OliverTwist-vv4xhspot bar lots of money, if you had that you would get more ‘help’ in. Excellent work ethic too boot
Used to watch him doing his original kitchen conversion in his old place. Come and long way since. 👏👏👏
It’s going to look stunning, can’t wait to see the progress. Your videos are the highlight of my week
Appreciate all the effort you put into your 2 channels. Great work 👍
Wow,that looks stunning.
Oh, I can't wait to see how this all turns out.
Our house is a modern (cow barn) conversion similar style and size to yours. We are super happy with it. Maybe some things I’d do slightly different but it’s awesome. Look forward to your progress
Sounds great! Can’t wait to get some new structure up.
When you look at the shell of the barn as it is at the moment I'm not going to lie it looks a difficult job. But looking at the plans you have on the computer it looks amazing. I know you have mad good skills Tim and I know you can pull it off. So I can't wait to watch your progress. Good luck brother!!
Your children are amazing
Wow amazing!😮 So interested to see how many wood burning stoves and other heating solutions you come up with
The coloured laser glasses and the naff plastic coloured targets help surprisingly well if you can’t quite see.
Fork Candles
That software is very cool.. I was struggling to imagine what it might look like before I saw that!
Glad you like it!
Yes,I saw the sheep👀
That’ll be a million quid
Yep easily... if you are paying people to do all the work.
Measure distance from the steels where you're going to leave the posts under the floor and depth under base of new slab... Just incase you want to run anything you know if you'll hit or not
All on the original laser scan survey when we moved in so nice and easy to find if needed. 👍
Vote 'Dave' for the fork lift!
Geoffrey!
Lifty Lifty Lifty let’s call him Lifty Vote for Lifty 😜
About the squeaky track... The saying goes that "the squeaky wheel gets the grease" and I suppose the same goes for tracks. HOWEVER. Sometimes the cause of the squeak comes from the other side... If something is out of alignment, or whatever, on the Left side it can cause more force, more friction on the Right side. Just a thought.
Turns out its just the dry dust and sand as digging around soil and puddles yesterday it was silent.
What software is Johnny using to create these renders? Certainly a big step up from Sketchup that's for sure!
I think it's Unreal Engine.
Ground works is a killer and a money pit as you know matey !
Need the link for the creme eggs......
Doubled in price now, must have been a glitch as they were worked out about 20p each. 😂
I couldn't see, on the render, where you're going to put the snooker table!! 🤔🤣😂
Attach your level and recever to the top of your bucket for poor mans trimble / idig
👊🫡
i want to see a sheep dammit..... i did see a sheep
Where is all the wind bracing? Agriculture building frames are built to a reduced loading. You have wind bracing in the roof but none it appears in the sides and the blockwork has been removed. Please speak to your structural engineer.
Why would you make it so enormously big? Isn't it all a bit on the too big side Tim?
We have to retain the size and shape of the building so although we asked to remove some sections we had to stick with what we have. An odd problem to have but it doesn't help budgets!
Look up Tom lamb what you don't know about still work with surprise you
Did you have a problem with the planners? We wanted to do a similar project, but as the they said the building was essentially a "pole barn" the lack of footings quashed the idea.
It took several attempts. Fortunately it is more substantial and fully enclosed than some structures but still not easy. We did a full video on planning.
@@TheRestorationCouple Thank you. I'll look when/if I get home!
Did you look at Class Q?
@@richardmanford4730 Yes we did! Sadly at the time, ownership of the property was in dispute with other parties, so they also cited Section 3 as a supporting reason to deny us. I drove past the site a few days ago. The gable end has now collapsed onto a private lane. Someone is going to have an expensive cleanup bill. Glad it's not me!
Do yourself a favour and buy a green laser, you can justify it on a project of this size.
The 1970s called. They want their porn music back. 😉🤣
The content at the moment is slightly boring
Ask for your money 💰 back, oh! I forgot its free!!
@brianhume4743 correct it is free. Doesn't change the fact that the content at the moment is boring...
Don’t watch Dave, that’ll teach him to be boring.
@@frankiepitt9135 him??
@@frankiepitt9135 I don't think it will.. 😂
