- Big Barn Build 023 - With such a wide and deep wall needed below DPC we decided to mass pour but that involved a fair bit of shuttering.

Its always nice to be prepared and ready for the summer… the roof will be a welcome addition to shelter you from the rain 😂
That's the plan! 😁
Junior and Senior working together...that is always a winning team!
Ticking off some huge milestones - loving the updates.
Great progress and impressive project management. Well done.
Not too much work the vibrator, just kinda dip it in, I believe it causes the gravel to sink also.
I’m terribly impressed you guys are doing so much yourselves!
As well as the earth moved !
Good advice for any type of vibrator.
I swear you have a twin brother to get all that work done. Top work give yourself a pat on the back ( or ask your brother to do it !! )
Finally the video is here been waiting for this
Great job, as always 👍
Really enjoyed this one
Things really are coming along. It’ll start to fly soon.
Have you thought about getting some track mats , then next time you need to get the forklift or whatever somewhere you could just lay them out as a roadway. Can sort the access roads when things calm down and the build is finished.
The Olympic size pool in coming alone nicely ! 😊❤
Another big chunk of progress- well done Tim & team! What laser level are you using? I’m needing to upgrade mine but seems a lot of choice. Also- I can’t help but feel that the compaction depth of your whacker is going to be quite shallow compared to where you want it, especially with that polished interior concrete floor. I have the same whacker, and I’d trust it for patios, pathways and monoblock driveway but I’d be concerned for anything that needs to be heavier than that- are you finding that you are getting the compaction you need from careful layering with the small whacker?
Road roller coming in before we do the main prep. 👍 The laser is a Bosch but not the best for outdoor work in bright sunlight. Getting the job done though.
Great stuff. Do you remember the dimensions of the timbers you used for your small shed in the old house. The one with the black metal roof
Just a quick note to say, don’t drive a forklift with forks pointing downhill, it’s a risk of tipping over, all way have forks pointing up when on a hill.
Will start to finish on this build be about a million quid?
Try reversing up the slope at a bit of speed with a bit of ballast on always worked for me even on icy mornings 👌
Tried that first but it was an instant refusal 😂. Not got much push that engine. May be now the ground has baked in the sun a bit ill try again/
Tow up gravity down ?
A diesel forward and reverse wacker would be a far better job Tim , far better compaction than the old Aldi special. Not cheap tho tbf . Loving watching the build
Why did the chicken cross the road? To illustrate a point.
Always heard when adding in rebar to twist it in, rather than just pushing it in. Supposedly means that the epoxy etc fills the spiral in the rebar better, rather than just being squeezed out.
Missed opportunity for a chicken joke 😂
Be careful not to over vibrate. Will seriously weaken the top layer.
Could the concrete wagon not have got to the pour site? Dosent look to bad across the barn floor?
Weather tight by autumn 2024? 😊
No body vibes the concrete founds 🙀
No bottom drains in the pool?
Still another insulated screed above that structural slab so will be above that. 👍
First, yay
Are you going to be pouring the floor slab yourself or are you subbing it out?
Depends more on availability than anything. If the contractors we had quote can't do it for 8 weeks then may crack on ourselves but have budgeted to sub out.
In the background in the field below the barn/house it looks as if there's a "circus tent"? - what's that about or is it my imagination?
Looking again I think it's the netting tied to the fence giving the appearance of a tent! Appt made at Specsavers!
What are your methods for project planning for this? Gantt charts?
Can't believe you filmed your dog having a leek!
With regards to the slope, of you haha
I think if you grass it you will struggle to cut it and keep it nice.
I would suggest wild flowers and maybe some of the flowers that they use on green roofs for coverage,
Nit sue itvthey are poisonous to animals so a little investigation maybe necessary.
give the forklift assistance to get up the slope by pulling or pushing with say dumper?
Didn't Tom used to be called Craig?
😂 no doubt I’ll call Craig in for some help soon! He’s busy with his own project now.
🫡👊
too much yakking
I hope you can get your money refunded for the protective caps...
I love watching this progress, but 10 adverts in 32 mins is a bit much.
It’s tough for most CZcamsrs now. I went for YT premium, cancelled Spotify and use YT music that comes with premium. Beware if you try this as there is no going back. YT without ads is a wineries place😳
Not sure what platform you're watching this on, but that is not my experience - and i don't use an add blocker or anything
That's going to make me count next time but I'm sure it was only three
Invest in CZcams premium. I think I pay 20 GBP per month. That lets 5 separate Google accounts to have ad free videos. It really makes you tube an alternative to other services.
Stop over-thinking stuff.
Too much talk Tim
