- Hey all!
I'm finally back!! This video is a continuation of the rebuilding of my 2nd abandoned oil field pump house. I prep the building site and then get the building re erected, showing you my struggles along the way...trust me there were a few struggles!
If you have not see the first short video of the tearing down of this build from its original location I'll have the link for that below.

Thank you for watching and please check out my other Videos and SUBSCRIBE!!!!
Great video. My hobby is restoring/rebuilding vintage and antique machine tools like lathes mills drills etc. Thanks for bringing us along.
I love old buildings! They fit the old time engineering ! It looks like you have a great time making videos! I love your channel, David Upham in Tucson Az !
Thank you! Yes, I do have a good time putting something together that I think everyone will like to watch!
I remember as a child, watching the movie. Little Abner. You just answered many building construction questions. LOL
Thanks again my friend 👍
Shoe🇺🇸
Thank you!
Holy cow just finished watching. your lucky you didn't get hurt on that fall... Looks like something I do sometimes.
I did luck out. It felt like slow motion as I was going down.
Nothing wrong with saving a piece of history, love watching these and I watched and enjoyed the last one like this.
Thank you!
Excellent job!! I love the very artistic transistion @ 24:07 :) Phew, the old heart sank when that pump jack slipped and hit the back wall!
Don't worry mine did to when it happened lol
Great vid thanks...........
Thank you!
Would you consider putting clear fiberglass ridge cap up to allow ambient light to luminate what looks to be a dark shed interior.
I know that it is not traditional; but it could be very helpful. Tom.
It would work well doing that but I'm trying to keep it traditional. I am going to add another window on the wall that has the doorway however. Thank you!
looking good
Thank you!
red neck 5th wheel love it~!
You are a crazy guy but i love all you do and i know theres more thumbs up to you norman from ireland wao 😁
Thank you!
Ha! excellent shots & great determination, but as a hint. You need to train 'Dog' to help, no need to let him run around without kicking in.... Just Joshing, You & him both, do fine
Thank you!
This is really cool that you’re putting together your own oil field I hopefully look forward to seeing a tour of the restored oil pump houses you have put in service so far
One of these days!
I love what your doing!!!! My Grand father and father were in the oil fields in Pleasants County West Virginia. I love that old stuff!! Thank you!!
Thank you!
🤠 Thanks for the fun videos and wishing you and your Families a Merry Christmas - Tim UK
Really cool project.
I restore antique equipment to working condition as well, so I can relate to what you’re doing.
Thank you!
Great video! I learned a new trick today, putting the nails on the rafters to hold the new wood. Thanks!
Thank you!
A couple of things I have come up with lately. Use construction screws instead of nails, much stronger and easier to install. Turn the roof tin over, the rusty side will only last a few years, the underside still has good galvanize and will last longer. Neat project.
I agree with everything you have said, however I'm using the old nails and such for an authentic look so I'm willing to make some sacrifices for that reason.
38:35 Dam it. Sitting with my hightest coffee, relaxing, thoroughly entertained, when he throws learning at us, work smarter no harder! Eh!
Can't wait for the tank 😅
Come summer 2023, hopefully 😆
Except for the new wood it kinda looks like it's been there a while..love when I see a good save.watched it all, thanks
Thank you!
You did very good with the foundation layout. Not so well with the ladder. 🙂
There is a reason ladders come with a warning 😆
Love how he executes Plan B 39:45
Very cool! Looking forward to seeing this project finished and some of the other ones that are in the pipeline!!
Thank you! There is definitely more to come!
Always fun to watch you work on this old stuff, nice job. Have to say I LMAO when you almost smashed the building. I was watching and said to myself... not a good idea... then OOPS. :)
The thought was there, just wasn't a good one lol.
You definitely don't have much wind up there.
Because no more framing, and effort than they put into the buildings, they'd never made it past first few years down here.
I'd say you're caught up on mishaps since you survived intact, both you, and the building.
My luck when the pump flopped over it would have taken every wall down, and busted half the cast iron off of the pump itself.
Then the ladder trick, that you were fortunate enough to catch yourself somewhat.
I'd off probably buried several nails, and half dozen splitters several inches long in various parts of myself.
That's if the ladder didn't end up somehow tangled up in my legs, and arms, or land on top of my head gashing it open leaving me laying there bleeding profusely and unconscious.
Are more than likely, all the above with no cell service if I could find my phone that would have surely busted the screen bad enough it was just a blank with few faintly lighted cracks on it.
That's my luck since I no longer work for a living, are at least not one that pays these days.
Retirement, and growing older isn't for the young, or those that think everything is going to as easy to do as it was even a few years ago.
Seems like what once was just an hour or two to do by yourself, now takes several days if not longer, and is a constant battle just to get it half-assed these days.
Lol, I'm only partially exaggerating about it, and some days it's actually quite comical, but others it's quite sad to think about.
Yet one never gives up, and does best one can regardless of the trials and tribulations one has to endure.
Happy Christmas, and a Merry New Year to everyone
I saw this in texas video
Can you take us on a field trip to get a engine and what that is like ?
Yes, absolutely! Hopefully, by the end of the year, I will have a video finished on removing an engine from the wild!
I’d like to see a video of the rzr please
It does really good barrel rolls. 😆😆😆
Will the other windows have glass in them?
Yes they will, I will be replacing all the window glass, will also have to put a new window in, and will make doors for it as well. That will probably all happen during the spring time.
For the shed you are building, wasn’t the level to square the walls, a little overkill? Lol
Looking great bud 😎
Thank you!
