Garage door struts are also used for weight counter balancing. You need to leave that tension until the struts are installed.

This video should be sent to the Secret Service as it demonstrates that a person can effectively work on a sloped roof.

If you ever find yourself in a predicament, where you need a lot of lumber like that, you can go to the “pro desk/commercial sales” tell them what you are doing and you can buy all of the materials at once and then go back and pick up what you need whenever you need it (as well as still pick out every board you want). It will be a bulk order and will typically save you about 15% doing it that way. Also, if you go to a company that supplies shingles to all of the contractors Instead you can usually get away with about 40% off then the big box stores. Doing it this way I was able to build a 20 x 24 two-story (bonus room) shop for $6500.

You have made some good decisions so far. Congratulations on the build and channel growth.

I love how you integrated the sponsor into your videos and just don’t sit and read a script!!!
I would buy it from your link but I already have it. I wish more creators would do it like you do. I hope these companies appreciate how you work there products in with a story. Love this build!!

[NYAJoeJr]

The shop is coming along nicely. Keep up the great work.

[KenBowtie]

I am loving the shop-build series!! Hats off to you for doing all of this work yourself!! And gotta hand it to your pops and FIL for all of their work, too!! Those guys are staying young by working hard - a lesson for us all. Love how you’re building your shop - keep up the good work!

Have I missed your long-term interior plans?

You're killing it man. I've got a 40x60 in West Texas that I've been finishing out for the past couple of years. Knowing what goes into working on it, it's pretty impressive that you've taken it all on without having the initial building skills.

Crazy!! My buddy just built a 60ish by 120ish garage built for $85, 000 including 6”concrete (with 8” for his lift). Brick 1/2 way up then vinyl to match his house. He has metal roofing on the roof and matching on the barn. He went with four 16 ft tall doors. All of this was done by a contractor. He never lifted a finger. This is his third build like this. We will do his electrical and plumbing though. That’s the easy part. I get the HOA thing. That sucks. Texas is so much more expensive than other states.

This has been my favorite shop build video! I plan on doing one myself when we move out of the neighborhood we are in. And this has given me probably way more confidence than it should have! Shop is looking great man!

Have enjoyed all the videos on the dream shop and can't wait to see the finished shop look. Amazing to see your dream come true.

Very nice build. Excellent that you went and got deals and didn't just throw more and more money at the thing like so many people, businesses and especially municipal and state governments do. Property value just went up by 100 grand too. No idea what your HOA and city codes are like, but if at all possible, you should put in water and gas service to the shop since you are trenching anyway. It'll be far cheaper to do both of those now along with the electrical rather than at some later date. It's also more money, but putting in a sewer line if you can will allow for a rest room in the shop in the future or at least a wash and clean station out there. I suppose you could put in an underground holding tank for just a sink. Some city codes just assume that if you put sewer and water to a shop you'll use it for residential occupancy so some times it can be tricky. But having a toilet and sinks in there is a nice upgrade in the future if you put in the lines now while you are building. That's a huge shop with plenty of space to put in a raised floor restroom, even a shower and definitely a big clean up sink. I can't tell you how often I get in trouble for coming in from the shop and cleaning up in the kitchen sink or bathroom sink and leaving a mess in there. Would also love to see you build a loft or mezzanine space in one end of that massive shop for storage and even for dedicating to your youtube channel. Having a man cave within a man cave is so nice! Can't wait to see how you put this big shop to use in your future videos. I can't wait to see the bench builds and the new hoist installation and all the interior stuff you are going to do with it. I've got a 30X30 shop and am running out of space already.

I remember watching years ago, a rear block install video and a muffler cut off video. So cool to see the channel progress!!! Keep it coming!

[MrTimdtoolman]

You can get TP (tamper proof) hinges if you are concerned about the side door entrance. Although thieves are usually not that smart and would likely just break a window if they did try to get in, I don't know if it is necessary but it would give you peace of mind. LOve the shop, you are doing a great job with it.

[LLCNet]

I did my electrical, then I applied for the permit. Once approved, I got my electrical inspection.

[Grantski]

Just a suggestion on the exterior. I’ve seen Kyle from RR buildings use versetta stone I’d contact them and find out what they can do for you on the project. Could possibly be some big savings and considering I assume from following along the series the learning curve will be much much steeper and time consuming doing actual stone over a similar product you can install in a couple days

[thecapnpoopy]

for future reference, next time you build a shed, if you have a home depot credit card you have 12 months to return things. so buy bulk and add 10% to the amount of wood you need, and then return the ones you don't use.

[WexWerxScott]

Shops gonna be insane! Can't wait to see it done and you to pull your truck in for the first time!

[westchalk]

honestly man this is so dope. Congrats on the hard work. paying BIG dividends in driving down the costs

2 separate pours on the concrete and cutting the crap out of it helps. Concrete cracks, not if but when.
