This is one of the most impressive things I’ve ever seen. You and your father should be incredibly proud. This was a pleasure to watch.

I’m a handyman myself but this is really beautiful and satisfying to watch I wish I could be out there to try and help you guys but I’m too far away I’m watching from Canada.

There is not enough people on earth to hit that thumbs up button as many time needed to express how this job is awesome.

This is an amazing house/barn/workshop project. It’s the kind of thing most of us daydream of while doing the daily grind. I hope you live there until you’re an old man, because no one will appreciate that place more than you and your father. Congratulations on all this accomplishment.

I've always admired people who can build things and restore things. You guys take it to the next level!! This is AWESOME!

This is absolutely incredible we have loved every minute of your restoration process. Congratulations on such a wonderful achievement. Hello from Western Australia 🇦🇺 😀

The precision on this build is actually mind boggling.. no mastic infills, no foam sprayed to cover holes (just to secure tiles).. just amazing craftmanship which gets things to the mm. As an architect I am beyond impressed with how much attention and time would have been taken to design this to that kind of preciseness. Watching the jigs that you used to level the concrete to get the rafters bang on is incredible.. Well done guys.

Love the extra long videos! You do an excellent job with your dad! Thanks for all the hard work

I know this was a year ago but I have to say this was.a labor of love and extraordinary work. Love to see a wise Father pass tricks of the trade to his sons. Both my brothers worked with my Father and though it can have ups and downs, it is mostly a beautiful thing. Can’t wait to watch more of your videos, this was my first one. Thank you!

Absolutely beautiful job! It’ll last for another 300 years. Your Dad was truly enjoying spending time with you guys. Cheers Boys!!

Very, very impressive. Kudos to you, your dad and your helpers!

Craftsmanship at its finest! The mix of clay tile colors really livens up the look of the roof. Your woodworking machine is very nice. Has your Dad ever tried masons mortar bag? Much like a pastry bag to apply mortar.

I feel like the people from 300 years ago are smiling down at the restoration you all did. Truly incredible.

Absolutely amazing can’t believe the amount of work your father and you put into this.

I just found this channel. I love watching how people build things. Incredible work!

Watching your family work is amazing. Your expertise and attention to fine detail are superior.

Thank you for sharing this epic journey and restoration. Your skills are incredible and Dad is a very young 60 years. Terrific skills all around. Wishing you and your family a blessed week, gentle weather, nourishing rain and restful evenings. Peace brother

this is a masterpiece. Such skill and knowledge required to do this! In the USA, we don’t have many buildings put together like this, so it’s fun to see the different construction techniques. It looks like this barn will be strong enough to stand for many more centuries.

As French, I recognize directly that you are restoring a house in the same region where I just have finished my own restoration after 40 years. The work you have done is not only huge but professional. The tools that you are using are impressive, far away from what I have seen by the local professional. Being myself very conservative about restoration of ancient house, I was helped by a magazine “Maisons paysannes de France” which guided me in certain works linked to old technics and tools. In fact, based on my reading and with the help of an old carpenter, to finish the curve of a beam or other pieces of wood, I didn’t used a sander but with we call that in french “une herminette” the result is not so smooth but more ancient. The technic that you are using to put your tiles is unknown for me, maybe is linked to the local way. In Dordogne, for a roof of a barn, separated by 20 to 24”, 6 to 8” oak square rafters are used. To support the tiles, we nail pine or chestnut planks.So, from bellow, we don’t see the tiles. I don’t known if you are aware that the region is infected by termites. To protect each piece of wood which is in contact with a wall or the ground, I drill a few holes and inject xylofene on a length of 20”. I have used my best english to congratulate you and admire the work you have done. Your talent (and your money) will save a beautiful 300 years old farm. Be aware that you’re the money that you are investing in this project will be commented (not always positively) by your french neighbors. Enjoy the view on the Pyrenees and le foie gras du Gers.

Found this video searching for something else and started watching it just out of curiosity. It's one of the most impressive things I've ever watched. You did an amazing job there. Huge respect! Cheers from Greece...

You are incredibly talented. I rarely see other carpenters with the finesse and attention to detail you have. And then there’s the videography and editing too! The belt looks awesome. PS please be careful with baggy clothes near a thicknesser, but I’m sure you already know that. Best video I’ve watched in ages

This video was awesome! The work you and your Dad and others did is extremely impressive! Very well done video with the editing and voice over . I enjoyed it very much ! Loved seeing you and your father working together ! That’s memories you will have for a life time

Beautiful work!!! I think I'm more impressed with the colors of the old tiles than then new. It's magnificent!

Excellent craftsmanship and work ethic - a fantastic job - gr8 going Dad, you must be proud of your son, likewise he of you as the outstanding teacher and exemplar ....simply a beautiful partnership. You both should be proud of your achievements as builders and artisans of wood and mortar as you can be as human beings. A beacon of light amidst the rubble of rubbish on TRshow, a must-watch. Thank you.

Makes sense why you don't see many super old buildings like this. The amount of work required just to build off of a pre-existing building this old is staggering. Makes the job way easier to bulldoze and start from scratch. Kudos to you guys for putting in the work to hopefully keep this building another 100 years at least

1:18:34 As children, me and my brother were often climbing on the roof and sitting on the ridge of our house in France, and it looked exactly like this... You showed me how it is actually built, thank you so much

I just found this a few days ago. An absolutely compelling watch for someone who loves messing around with wood like myself. While modern power tools did simplify your execution, your collective craftsmanship and commitment to detail in every aspect of the restoration was inspiring, and absolutely beautiful. What a joyful way to spend your days. Also, I would love to know the guitar artists you featured during the non narrated portions of the video, especially in the last few segments. Cheers, and good health to you.

The way the colors of the roof tiles turned out is BEAUTIFUL!

No words could properly describe your project. Astoundingly beautiful and we watched every second! ❤❤❤❤

This was a very tedious job, but you got it perfectly done. It's wonderful you made used of reclaimed handmade terracotta tiles. Totally love this video.

The skill set needed for this build is absolutely incredible.

Wow..this was a fabulous watch. Wonderful to see father & son doing such a project together. All the effort dad put into training up you Carl..has paid off. You are a remarkable worker & therefore tells me you will make a solid husband & dad as yours clearly has been. Beautuful workmanship!

Incredible job you all did rebuilding this historic roof! Your workmanship is outstanding! Loved watching the demolition and how you figured out how to piece the ancient bones back together! I love your cutaways, sound effects, the dog ! He's a good boy! Great video!

Just found your channel and it’s incredible, I’ll be back watching everything it’s so so good too see this level of craftsmanship but also having great videography.

The craftsmanship, attention to detail, respect for the history and heritage and the bond between a father and son..... simply amazing. Thank you for the journey!

The skilled and hardworking young woman who helped with this project is certainly "lots of help" and deserves more credit. Wonderful to watch your techniques.

After trying to watch some junk on Netflix I somehow found this on my phone and watched an amazing well produced movie about a father and son repairing a 300 year old garage. So worth my time and not one foul word or fake drama. Thank you both for sharing with us.

The time spent with your father will be the best memories for you both! The fact that you only replaced what was needed and kept the original, as much as possible, was great! I watched the entire process and learned some things along the way! (self-taught diy'er & tomboy, thanks to my daddy! RIP Daddy!)

What a huge undertaking and such professional workmanship. Congratulations!

I'm blown away at your work. You and your father are amazing.

I couldn't stop thinking about the craftsmen that built your barn 300 years ago without power tools. A labor of love. And to think that the timbers were milled before the US was a country. Incredible! I have never seen a hand saw with a chain saw attachment. Definitely helpful for the job at hand. Enjoying the show!

OMG amazing! Heads up to you and your father! If people only knew how long just a simple task as making wooden pegs takes in real time they would appreciate it so much more. As a fellow woodworker, I applaud you! And there were most definitely some scary moments. The free hand action on the table saw, the flannel shirt on the jointer, with no guard on it (HOLY Molly) I seriously was scared and then the jig for the wooden pegs on the table saw wow. You definitely got someone looking out for you. Again amazing work and lots of craftsmanship!

This was one of the most captivating projects I have seen on TRshow, your father most be so proud of you, I can't imagine the time it actually took to complete and also the editing of the film footage. Well done guys and it was a pleasure to watch. ;)

Wow!!! You guys do extraordinarily amazing work! I wish I could get up there and work too… thanks for sharing the amazing footage and experience!

That slight offset peg layout is actually an elemental thing in Japanese carpentry when building traditional house framework. Also, they use wedges a lot.

What a beautiful project. So awesome to see it come together!

Not only is the work you do awesome, the way you edit your videos is even more awesome!

You guys are absolutely terrific what dedication you have achieved I found it so easy to understand what you were saying and I also think that you could go into teaching and do demonstrations of your work father and son extremely talented that roof will last another 300 years well done. 😊

Young man, just watching 30 minutes of this video, I am very impressed with the carpentry skills you have. Being in the US and done farm house/barn work when I was younger, I appreciate the folks that passed the knowledge of 'old school' and timely craftmanship to me. Please pass on what you have. Peace and be careful and safe; most of all stay healthy with your illness.

I love fine woodworking skills and beautiful old farms and houses. Thank you for this, I have bookmarked it for future watching. Well done.... great success! Love the slim tool belt too...good smart design. All the best from an artist with an architectural family. Hopefully I will see more from you two.

Absolutely stunning skills of carpentry in this family! It watches like the best sitcom. Won’t miss it ever!

I am envy of you to have such a great father!!! You are both great and I’m proud of you all for making this lovely project

An hour and 20 minutes never went by faster. I was absolutely mesmerized the entire time. Incredibly impressive. Thank you for being so respectful to this old building.

Even though I'm female and a greatgrandmother, I enjoyed this immensely. My husband and I bought two old semi-detached and converted them into one beautiful house. You have accomplished such a feat of restoration. CONGRATULATIONS

Respect! Coming from Germany I know good craftsmanship for roofing and this topped everything I've seen before. You can see your love to detail and taking on each challenge with your own pace vs. having a contractor shooting cheap nails and staples. Will pay off for sure. This roof will last a century or more. I now live in USA and cringe every time I see them build houses in the cheapest possible way in 4-6 months, turnkey ready, then ask a fortune for it. Thanks for uploading and producing this video. This will keep the old methods alive.

Would love to see a build like this carried out using the 300 year old tools and techniques , or even an explanation of what it entailed back then . A work of art is what they achieved here .

This was incredibly beautiful to watch guys. The thing that amazed me was I watched the whole video without skipping parts and I’m not even into construction lol. I think the title had me hooked plus all the amazing skills of father and son and everyone wow. Proud of what you guys do. Your father taught you well Carl.

This is such an awesome project thanks for filming it! New englands barns were built exactly the same way. The house and barn were attached and often you couldn’t really tell which was which until up close. Made it easier to care for the animals on the winters

A massive well done. The new roof, especially the recycled tiles look so much better than the old. Thanks for a very uplifting and educational video.

i don't do construction and maybe never will for now. but i watched this entire video just for how purely interesting and knowledgable watching the process is so thank you for all your hard work !

Watching this makes me appreciate even more how the original carpenters 300 years ago were skilled. No electric power tools just steel saws and lots of muscle. I bet they had one person just to keep the blades and chisels sharp enough to cut as the steel would not have been as strong as it is these days. Remarkable.

Awesome job Mr. Carl Rogers. Really enjoyed watching you and your fathers' fine work.

This was epic to watch 🙏🏼 thank you. Your dad and you put so much love into this 🥰🙏🏼☀️

I truly learned so much and was so inspired by the work you all achieved. Thank you for sharing this journey with the world.

I have worked on roofs and some old buildings but you are Masters at your trade. This is phenomenal. I watched from the beginning thinking of watch 30 minutes. I stayed till the end, you are exciting to watch.

It's always fascinating to see what can be done with the right tools and the expertise to use them. This renovation shows tremendous skill and and was enjoyable to watch.

That looked incredible when is was finished....true craftsmen. It was also filmed and edited really well. Absolute respect to both of ya.

That was awesome, Carl. Many props to you and your pops!! 👍

Finished job looks stunning,great job guys.

As so many others are, I, too, am blown away by this video. Where about in France is this? I live “on the other side” in Spain, close to Barcelona. It would be my dream to realize a project like this some day. Huge respect to you and your dad. It speaks volumes about the trust you have in each other.

Wow! So neatly done! Very, very impressive! Loved watching ever minute of it

Enjoyed every minute! What any amazing set of memories to have recoded with your Dad.. Well done, beautiful work…

Best video I have seen for ages. That roofs a work of art and it’s great to see a father and son working so well together with such respect.

Magnificent. A joy to watch. The overall care and the attention to tiny details make this a craftman's documentary. Bravo.

Awesome job! Roofing like that in the USA is a lost art. Skill set and attention to detail was very impressive. Nicely done and ready for the next 300 years.

I like that replication process and the block mod you did to the chainsaw....your partner has some mad skills!

simply love this, the carpentry, the overall process of restoration and the funny side of things

You guys are awesome meticulous excellent craftsman and artists mathematicians and just all-around amazing guys.❤️ I’ve never seen anything like this. Obviously I’m subscribing.☮️

this is incredible. the filming, commentary, editing etc. wow! i’m so impressed. also, i love the 100% good boy part of the dog!

Truly awe inspiring. Fantastic work. Watched the entire vid and was never bored. Makes me want my own shop...

I am glad I watched all of this rebuild. You two are awesome workers. Beautiful, strong finish!

Amazing woodworking! Great restoration job! I'm hooked!

This is by far the best video of rebuilding I have seen! Amazing what two able-bodied men (& one woman) can do! Tremendous amount of work, but highly satisfying. Where did this young man learn all of this? Great father & son teamwork! I am definitely going to watch this one over again!

Absolutely first class workmanship. Nice to see old buildings restored with old materials, using the old techniques. Well done👍

After the watching the first minute, I knew I was going to watch it all. I love the production quality, the pacing, the narration, the jokes, the doggo. I love how you respectfully restored an old barn (just think of the history) while incorporating modern tools to keep it sane. It’s so satisfying to watch you carve the big pieces of green oak. Super romantic setting. One of those videos that has me thinking: what am I doing with my life that is truly making me happy? Thanks for the inspiration!

Absolutely LOVE this workmanship❤️. Truly a work of art from start to finish ☺️🥰 The video editing was cute too! GREAT JOB!👍🏽👍🏽 New subby!😉👍🏽

Wonderful craftsmanship by father and son. Video presentation was superb. Thoroughly enjoyed vlog!

An amazing job. It reminds me my time spend with my grandfather working on his terracotta roof during summer time. I enjoyed seeing the rafter rebuild too.

Love your passion for your job.. talent... Just found this channel. I can't stop talking to my hubby about your work. Best of luck to you and your Dad. 😃

Absolutely Amazing. So much work for the two of you! Yes that is great for a 60 yr old.

I’m sitting here mesmerized, admiring your Woodworking skill, but also how well produced the video is! Thoroughly enjoyable thank you!

WOW.... I’ve been a builder for forty odd years and your skills are truly breathtaking. Thank you for sharing this extremely daunting restoration. Warmest Regards from New Zealand

Absolutely bloody amazing! Well done boys! A fantastic video, an excellent watch! 😉

Wow 🙌🏼👏🏼👍🏼👌🏻 So inspiring and historically insightful watching you use the old template and watching how much skill, patience and expertise was undertaken 👏🏼❤️

Marvellously excellent works and efforts by you both !

I take my hat of to the dedication of a father & son team - who did a fantastic job with replacing the oak roof & other parts of the barn, a really beautiful job indeed

Well done TRshow for finally recommending something good! As an engineer myself with 30 years in my chosen trade (taught by my Dad), this video really warmed my heart, made me smile & almost made me cry when the old Makita wasn't enough for the ancient oak... Great job, brilliant video, looking forward to more 👏👏👏

fantastic piece of work, I am deeply fascinated that you have been able to do it all.🤗

A spectacular job, a really beautiful addition, congratulations to you and your dad, Carl. 😁👌👌👏👏👏❤️❤️

What a labor of love! Your craftmanship is excellent. Great video! Thank you.
