Make It With Menards – Jack McDonnell – Milmar Buildings - Image

Back in July of 2019, we were contacted by a film company working with Menards that was interested in showing how post-frame builders can use Menards products. While we don’t source our metal or lumber/truss packages from Menards, we do get many items from them for our daily job-site needs.  Items like fasteners, doors/windows, tools and more from them and love being able to run to the closest Menards for just about anything we need while working on a post frame building! They have many Made in America products that we love to use!

Blocking out windows

They chose me, Jack McDonnell, for the video as they wanted to show the whole process from the perspective of the designer through the completed building, but the truth is, our hard-working crews are the guys who make the buildings happen from the designs I produce. I only get to do the manual labor occasionally as work allows.

Setting trusses

I do enjoy the days I get to go out and lend a hand though, either setting trusses, hanging metal or just being as helpful as possible. Nothing beats a full day of hard work on a post-frame building!

Cutting cedar for porch details

Three separate days of filming by an exceptional film crew turned into this beautiful video they put together that highlights some Indiana landscape, a great post-frame building and of course, Menards! Check it out and thank you to Menards for letting us be a part of this fun film project!
