What this video covers
Keith Whitaker and his family are constructing a barn in Montana to serve as a workspace and living area.▶ 2:32 The project involves framing, installing windows, and pouring a 20-by-120-foot concrete slab for the front driveway.▶ 12:15 To mount the windows, the crew uses a magnetic drill to bore holes into steel I-beams.▶ 1:25 The construction process requires installing OSB sheathing, framing doors, and eventually applying tin siding and roof insulation.▶ 2:14 Whitaker notes that sourcing materials in Montana is significantly easier than maintaining a boat, where he often felt like a repairman.▶ 5:13 The project has served as a team-building exercise for the family, requiring them to manage construction tasks and navigate interpersonal challenges.▶ 6:24 The team expects to complete the structure within three weeks, weather permitting.▶ 2:25
