Press to jump
- 1:31After the sponsored opening, Archbold begins removing an old chain-link fence to prepare the barn site.
- 3:26A tractor pulls out fence posts anchored in concrete.
- 6:54Brush clearing reveals an old tire and the decaying foundation of a small building.
- 14:48The crew frames the foundation pad while a conveyor-arm truck distributes gravel across the slope.
- 17:39Archbold spots a blueprint error: the barn door opening is twice its intended width.
- 18:50With the framing corrected, concrete mixer and pump trucks arrive to begin the pour.
The plans called for a door twice as wide as Alexander Archbold intended. With the barn's foundation taking shape, that is a detail worth catching before the concrete truck turns up.
Curiosity Incorporated's "Building a Barn Part 2, Foundation Pours in! ZocDoc" follows the project from stubborn fence posts to the start of the pour. It passed 30,000 views in half a day, already far beyond the channel's usual full-day audience for comparable uploads.
For an antique reseller whose work involves finding new uses for old things, even clearing the site produces a discovery. Archbold and a contractor come across an old tire and the decaying foundation of a small building while working through the brush. There is an older structure hiding where the new project is getting started.
The episode opens with a sponsored segment for Zocdoc. The construction then moves through tractor work, tree clearing and a conveyor-arm truck spreading gravel across the sloping site. Archbold also worries about wildlife leaving tracks in the fresh concrete.
The drawing error emerges as the crew prepares the reinforcing steel: the planned opening should be eight feet wide, not sixteen. By the following morning, the framing has been corrected and the mixer and pump truck arrive.
Viewers have practical opinions about that doorway, with one urging Archbold to keep the larger opening for moving things inside. Others bring their own construction memories, including a reader who watched an entire shed build from a lawn chair.
