MAJOR Barn Damage - How Alex repaired it by himself
In this video, Alex rebuilds an entire corner of our barn that was structurally compromised by years of water damage. This video is a little different than most of our others, because the project is (thankfully) already done. In hindsight, this was the largest project Alex has ever gotten himself into. However, doing it ourselves saved a TON of money. We had a structural rehab company estimate just the structural portion (no flooring, siding, paint, etc.) and it came out to $25k. All said and done, the monetary cost of this project was just under $2900. Let's not talk about the time cost...
Project Cost Breakdown:
Materials:
1 day amish labor + all 6x6's = 561
Initial lumber order = 356
Second lumber order = 231
Hauling second lumber = 125
Misc bracing lumber = 15
Steel plates = 336
First bolt order = 201
Second bolt order = 40
Fuel = 30
Siding boards = 282
Nails = 61
First floor board order = 143
Second floor board order = 53
Total Material Cost: $2434
Tools:
3 bottle jacks = 120
Drill guide = 32
Drill bits = 35
Dewalt 20V chainsaw = free (Home Depot messed up the order)
Chainsaw mill = 125
Ripping chain = 21
Drilling fluid = 5
Chainsaw sharpener 37
Rigid corded drill = 80
Total Tool Cost: $455
Total Project Cost: $2889
About Us: We are Alex and Elaina, a couple in our mid 20s who are currently living on the 3-acre farm in southern Pennsylvania where Alex grew up. We have a garden, backyard chickens, and build or fix anything that we need to. We still work corporate day jobs, but are working to eventually leave the 9-5 lifestyle in favor of a self-built, debt-free, homestead on 6 acres nearby.
Something that differentiates us from other channels is our transparency on the cost of our projects - there is usually a breakdown right in the description!
We upload a YouTube video every Saturday night at 7pm EST, and post daily on Instagram and Facebook @masondixonacres!
