Barnwood Builders

This is the more way these shows should be done. Entertaining, informative, light on drama. It still could be a little more information and a little less "character" for my taste, but it's much better than most.

I'm tired of shows that are supposed to be about practical matters full of artificial deadlines, fake disasters, personal drama, and people who obviously don't know what they're talking about presented as "experts". This show is not free of these things, what reality show is? But there's less than many other shows of this type. They take the time to explain things and follow up on results later.

The very first thing that is missing from this show is the language "bleeps". That makes this program one of a kind by today's standards. Most shows today bleep out bad language, but some don't...and those are not viewed in my home. It is wonderful that "old skills" are being shown to us. It is a real eye opening experience to see how hard our ancestors had to work just to stay alive. Johnny Jet related that he thought that most folks today could not survive as the pioneers did, and sadly, he is most probably right. To Mark, Johnny, Sherman, Tim, Graham, Brian, Max and the "New Guy" with the 14 inch beard...THANK YOU for your work and showing us a part of our ancestors history. I will continue to watch Barnwood Builders as long as you continue to produce the program

This series remains Very Real - Not Scripted. Unlike so many of these shows where after the third season the players either begin playing to the camera or the producers begin bringing in their own actors to pad the production this Shaw remains true to itself.

I discovered this show about a year and a half ago. I don't know how I missed it! These guys are not only talented in their chosen craft, but where else can you see "hillbillies" quoting Shakespeare and being intellectually "punny"? I binge watched a couple of Saturdays to catch up (thank you DIY and GAC networks!), and now I wait for Sunday night for new episodes. I know more about barns and log cabins than I ever imagined I would. There is at least one other "log cabin" show similar to this - but it doesn't compare to this crew. A real bright spot on TV!

These guys are great to watch - they're truly nice guys, no drama on the show which is very refreshing, and the work is fascinating. Respect for the past and the skills used here pave a wonderful path for the future. Hope you guys stay real, and keep up the good work!!
