The silo renovation is moving along with a huge milestone reached in this video. It's not easy building a “floating” circular floor especially with a cool added feature on each level.
Hello from Scotland! Love it when you find a new channel like this - such good production quality. You guys are going places.
I just want to take this opportunity to tell you how much your channel is appreciated. Found it recently and enjoy your content. I actually watch several channels, mostly farming, all hosted by young people. If anyone gets discouraged with the goings on in the world today only need to watch channels like yours to realize that there are multitudes of young people who get it. They have the determination, grit and fortitude to learn a skill and apply it. And lots of integrity to boot. You guys are no exception. Some have commented on some past videos what the big deal is, lots of people have built structures like yours. They miss the point. You are building this, not them, and learning and growing in your trade and craft. If I had a turn of the century stone silo on my property I would commission and hire you on the spot, to do the same. Truly wish you Godspeed in all your future endeavours, looking forward to more projects in the future. Thank you.
Appreciate the kind words! Definitely not easy at times and certainly a learning experience but comments like these make it worth it. Even the not so great comments make us want to prove them wrong but ultimately what you guys see us doing is what we genuinely like to do. Stay tuned for what’s coming next…God Bless
This is one of the coolest projects on KZhead right now.
These guys are fearlessly creative and a pure joy to watch. After a lifetime in construction, I have never seen anything quite like this project, and seldom to this level of skill.
Thanks! Always trying to improve our craftsmanship and this project is certainly putting us to the test. Thanks for watching!
A wood staircase that curves along with the outside of the silo. That would look awesome. treads coming right out of the exterior stone.
That would look sweet! We thought about doing that but with our weather seasons constantly changing from rain to snow to sun it would not be the best option if we wanted to get between floors regardless of the weather. We thought about doing it on the inside too but that would take up quite a bit of space. Thanks for watching!
Just found your channel two days ago. And have just finished watching everyone of your vids. What you guys do is absolutely brilliant. I think it is definitely one of the best channels out there. Well done. Love what you have done so far can’t wait to see more. Cheers from New Zealand
You guys do beautiful work. I also like the time you spend on projects. Enough to show some detail of what you are doing but not so much that it gets boring, and you get to see the progress at a great clip. Great work!
Your YT content is as good as your craftsmanship. Great watching. Thank you.
You guys are excellent carpenters. I love this series, can't wait for the next episode.
You boys are killing it! Love this content, anticipating the next video! Your channel reminds me of the Rainfall Projects channel - He's another country boy doing amazing projects.
Thanks! Yeah that is a great channel. Always cool to see people doing what they like to do
I love Rainfall projects too but he rarely releases new videos. Wonder why? I figure youtube takes up a lot of time and his wife and farm requiring most of his time.
Favorite project on KZhead rn. You all are getting after it! +1 for the spiral staircase too. Looking great guys!
I had no idea I wanted to watch this, but KZhead decided I might, and wow, what an interesting project. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Me too. Sometimes YT gets it right!
Awesome job! Test out spiral stairs first. If you have them in a place you use them all the time spiral can drive you nuts! ! Just a thought! 👍👍👍
Thanks! Yeah we’ve used them before and they can be annoying at times. We might attempt to make our own spiral stairs out of large timbers but wider and longer than average spiral stairs so they’re easier to use.
Awesome job. You make it look easy.
Superb craftsmanship, love it
Amazing work. Looking forward for the next one 👍🤓🇫🇷
Your channel is right up my alley, I love watching something physical being constructed from someones imagination. You're very skilled! Shocked you dont have more followers (you deserve it). I just subscribed - cant wait to see more!! 🥰
Cool project. You guys are doing a great job 👏 👍
Marvellous work and great that you are saving and reusing heritage! You should have a look at Coldwar mercantile- he’s taken on a 1916 Browns Shoe factory. A crossover between the two of your channels could be awesome.
Thanks! We’ll check him out. Old industrial building renovations are awesome to watch and something we hope to take on as well
Awesome job to everyone involved..
great work
Very cool! I grew up on a farm and we considered turning our silos into residences but ultimately had them knocked down. I run a Design/Build business now and it's cool to think I might get to do one someday. I have to say, I would have preferred to cap the top edge of the last riser with the floorboard, rather then exposing it as you did. It would also help the deep notch aspect ratios with that tiny strip that's left, as it would be wider. I like the end grain of the stringers showing, but seems like a little change there otherwise would be win-win? No insult intended, subbed!
Thanks! Not a bad idea and probably would’ve looked nicer doing it that way. We’ll have to consider that next time we do something similar. Hope you get a chance to deign/build one of these someday. It’s a bummer to see a lot of them torn down but with the right vision they can be turned into something cool!
it was worth insulating the floor 😊
cool Ubakus, pro soft - free untranslate insulation plans phasing thermic / hygrometry air
1:31 slim glass panels would of been nice here. Look at the light shine up the ceiling, you can see the difference here 1:31. half is blocked with wood / half has light shinning up
Tune in for the next video when we add windows….Thanks for watching!
Great work , love the silo. What is holding up the silo floor? Hope it's secure and safe.
Joist hangers anchored to the stone using four inch stainless steel tapcons are what’s holding all the joists up. With the blocking in between the floors are solid and aren’t going anywhere. Thanks for watching!
I was concerned the old mortar was sorta loose but I saw you install the bottom floor and looks secure. You guys are the experts. Can't wait until it's finished, it's going to be a great hangout. It's not got airbnb potential does it??
run the spiral staircase up around the outside...!
Is there a reason why you both sound like Arnold Schwarzenegger?
Great work! And is this for,a client or is it at your ho,e?
Thanks! It’s a family member’s silo which we mostly work on during the weekends. We’re all brothers in the videos working on it together.
@@Worzalla_Brothers That’s terrific x 2!
Will the outside platform be enclosed or exposed to the weather?
We will be enclosing it with walls and windows in the next video. Thanks for watching!
What s isolating all that lumber from moisture in the concrete?
We used marine grade sealer on all the lumber that is against concrete and mortar. For the rafters notched into the side of the silo we used sealer and ice/water tape. We still need to come back and caulk around the bottom of the large timbers standing on the concrete to prevent water from getting underneath.
He guys, do you guys work on the farm or are fulltime youtubers?
Hello, we work on the farm but own a small construction company. KZhead is something we just recently got into
You should put stair on the out side to save space in side
We thought about doing that but with our weather seasons constantly changing from rain to snow to sun it would be difficult to get between floors at times depending on the weather. Thanks for watching!
😇😎😇
Wood can push a stone wall (your wood which is dry will take moisture from the wall or from the air you exhale and it will swell), this is why it is necessary to provide a few millimeters of space between the wood and the wall, which in all cases will be hidden by the plinths
You guys should consider better safety practises.
every video lmfao 😂
Custom Couches? You didn't even insulate the floor? Why miss that? You must like it cold!
The top floor and first floor are both interior floors so there’s really no need to insulate other than to help with sound dampening but there won’t be much movement on either floor. We’ll be working on enclosing the main entrance area with walls, windows and doors in the next video so the entire inside of the silo will be closed off to the outside. Thanks for watching!
