Hey friends welcome to Gardening with Creekside today is a very fun productive day here up at
production because we are going to be we and I say that term very loosely it's not Jenny
it's Jerry and the boys are going to be getting the trusses put up on the new building here at
production if you will remember we've talked about this a couple of times before always check out the
video linked up above if you are unfamiliar with what we're talking about but basically
we are building a 22 wide by 78 feet long building correct that will connect all three structures up
here at production we will it will be climatized we will use it for um shipping once we get into
shipping we will use it for potting all sorts of good stuff so I've got sweet thing here with me so
that he can go ahead and kind of walk us through and tell you guys what they have already done
and then what is coming right so yeah we were up here yesterday working on adding the beams up to
um on top of our post up there yes so that's a double 2x10 being that we nailed together and
I'm going to be notched out the post on this side right here I think we tried to explain
that to them in the video we did so now you can actually see to see the little Notch that we did
we use the chainsaw so it's kind of rugged looking it is we're really good here first one I did with
the chainsaw but the rest of them look pretty good they do they look very nice they look pretty nice
how tall is that and that is at 12 foot gotcha the top of that is 12 foot got it yeah so
um they finished Kelly and I did this whole stream and then 30 foot on this side over
here yesterday yes and then Josh and the guys finished the rest of this this morning so I got
Jackson over here trying to do some uh flag screws yes so what we're doing these in for
support to hold the beam a little bit better to the post but I'm going to go back with the big
bolts and then we'll they'll have a washer and a nut on the back side they'll hold it all together
yeah all right so I'm gonna go to Jerry's phone's ringing so I'll let him uh deal with
that so what we have here we've got Chase here on the ground in the red sweatshirt we've got
Josh in the control of the tractor then we have Roman who is uh pinky showing Jackson
as he's screwing in those two those bolts so and then they get they're doing two per post yeah it's
two blacks and then that's one of that little silver one here is going to go in the middle
right so they got enough room to do it this is just making sure everybody's nice and secure
because like they said the last thing that they want to have happen is they put the trusses up
and there's not enough support and and those beans pop out so yeah this little guy we got
yesterday from our friends our concrete friends yeah yeah they it's a boom attachment will help
lift up the trusses so we're bouncing on this guy right here so the truss will hook onto the
hook I'll hook on right here yep and then we'll be able to balance that truss on up and just set
them we're going to start down yeah we're gonna start down here yeah we're gonna start down here
the first one to go on there then we'll work our way back they're going to be set at every two foot
you know working our way all the way down so we should get all that done today
we should yeah they should again you understand when I say we there is no weed I am here for
emotional support right there that's right that's right that's right so um anything else as far as
so you can see the fellas up there
and Jackson has been like really fired up to do this he loves building buildings putting
wood together he said Dad we have built so many greenhouses blah blah blah cause I'm ready to
just like put some wood together so we wanted to get him involved and yeah put some screws 12 and
a half now and you said yesterday when y'all were putting the beams up that he was like a
huge oh yeah he's he's very um good inside the bobcat and he's he's very precise on
we couldn't have done it without him yesterday yeah yeah so
this is this is the thing of course as a parent and if you're a parent you you understand right
it's our job to to teach and nurture them to be responsible productive adults in society
but man it can be hard and challenging to get them to uh to teach them and initially when
you're teaching them to do a task right and they're tiny and you're teaching them how to
put the silverware away from the dishwasher or you're teaching them how to do laundry or how
to fold clothes or how to cook right it's always takes 10 times longer when you're teaching them
yeah but that's our job and so like right now I mean you know could the sellers go a lot faster
if Roman was the one screwing in those those bolts absolutely but faster is not always better and the
more productive just like it took I mean it took you some time you know to teach him how to do
the Bobcat but then yesterday he was a great help and like true assistance right so yeah that's the
tension of being a parent is like being patient to teach them but then oh you want to get the
job done yeah we're having this discussion this morning you know about these doors back here on
the back end yeah so let's talk about that yeah so we have 22 foot I think it is yes 22 feet wide
I don't want to lose my height so that's why I was worried about these garage doors in here so I
didn't want to lose height especially on that end down there when you're coming out of that storage
Greenhouse gotcha so we were just kind of thinking if we could get away with a 10 foot wide sliding
door sliding doors similar to what's in the greenhouse yeah it's not like this right here here
yeah it's like we had a bigger taller and it would be eight foot so it'd
be another two feet wide so I can get the Bobcat through this like no problem right
I think that might work
yeah all right so what we're going to do is we
are going to uh let the sellers of course finish up putting in those
screws like screws yep those screws and then they will begin putting up the trusses so then we will
meet back here in a little bit and see what kind of progress they've made today foreign
so we have had quite a few hours passed since we were up here the fellas have got
two more trusses to put up Josh is cranking up the Bobcat right beside of me and you can
see what a fantastic progress they have made so um hang on one second
so they had to refuel the bobcat and the uh the door was still open so uh
oh yeah so the uh the diesel nozzle was still in there
you know mistakes were made when you're tired so let me just show you the whole process of what
they do here um some friends of ours who the guys who do all of our concrete Parker Construction
Company you can see their phone number right there is letting us borrow they're a fantastic little
custom-made tool that fits onto the Bobcat so that way it takes all the heavy lifting and then you've
got Roman to the right Chase to the left and they just got it up there all the heavy lifting is done
by the machine and then Josh is in the machine listening and following directions well I guess
not listening watching and following directions from the fellas and then they'll get them in place
I'll just let you watch
so you can see that they have to be able to communicate well with one another that team of
three so that way they get everybody level and in the correct spot and they have just done a
magnificent job so far they are tired bless their hearts it is getting late in the afternoon you can
tell from the Sun so they have this one last one to go one and then the kind of the end caps let
me show you what that end cap looks like you'll notice that these are very kind of open here along
the sides and then right down here on the ground is the last one that will go on this is one on
each end that looks like this and they put those extra two by fours in there so when you are going
to put your siding up you have something to attach your siding to of course all that extra support
makes these a lot heavier if you have the machine then it's no problem but uh there
was a little bit of a snafu and they didn't these were buried like six or seven trusses in so anyway
if you've ever done construction or a new type of construction process you know that there are
there's a learning curve so they figured it out and so he's going to come back and he's going to
pick up this last truss and get it up all right so now we are inside walking through look at that
isn't it gorgeous they have done a lot of great work
today it's amazing that they've got it all up you will see that they have put bracing
up there to hold everybody nice and in place of course using the air compressor and the nailer
certainly does help too you're not having to hammer all these in but trusses are up makes
quite the statement I do want to show it to you from the front of the greenhouses because you can
really see how much higher than the greenhouses it rises Rises up raises up rise up yes so long
day folks and uh so let me flip you around and to the front of the greenhouse so you can see that
it's one going up
all right I think we might be able to see those trusses when I come between the two production
greenhouses and you can see how much taller it is Jenny is a short little person so to give
you a good bird's eye perspective of this is a little challenging for me I know that Jerry
will get up the Drone here in the next couple of days or so so you can get a bird's eye view
of this but yeah it is looking fantastic they are currently putting up that last one right
now but it spans the whole length of all three of these structures and here you can see is the
um just what we call the dry storage right so it's going to hold all sorts of things see all
those proven winter pots and trays and soil and fertilizer and you name it and it's up there
um Bruno is she does not like to be far away from Mama and so she is trying to figure out
why she can't come to me but a little too much going on right now to have her running around
and you can see the fellas getting this last one up Roman is getting embraced and
as soon as he is done bracing it then they will be done for the day but man
pretty impressive looking looks great very happy cannot wait to see the next step not
quite sure what exactly the next step is Jerry is out working somewhere and I'm not going to bother
him so you'll just have to stay tuned later to see what the next step is as always thanks so much
regarding the Creekside you all have a fantastic day and we'll see in the next video bye friends
