I had to watch this video again. Love the painting segment near the end where it looks like it's painting itself. I need someone as talented as you to do my videos. Looking forward to more, Dave.
@This Old Jalopy I just discovered the Frankenwagon, your channel and that you now live here in the Ptld area! Your skills, motivation and follow-through are exceptional! I’d love to meet you someday, see the car up close and absorb some of your moxie. In exchange I could show you around my farm and my own “Frankenwagon” - a Volvo 240 with VW TDI engine!
I've been waiting for a new video. Happy to see your progress on the workshop, Good idea on building the overhand/end truss on the ground. Are you going to any more work om the vwmiata? excellent job, love how it came out....Dave
I would love to paint the frankenwagon one day, and this shop would make that possible. Now I can park the car inside. I've painted a car outside once before, and never again!
- The construction steps of the video was good but, I was disappointed that you never showed any views of the new addition attachment to the old structure and how the added space looked like on the inside.
This is the worst carpentry I've ever seen, it's obvious there was no permit pulled or inspection. No double top plate, no jack studs under headers, no door sill (welcome to every critter in the neighborhood), and roof plywood joints are on an open space not a rafter. What were you guys thinking. Call a pro next time!
it was explained in the video. It's called Advanced Framing. Single top plate, 24oc studs, use metal hardware instead of jack studs, etc. Nothing wrong with that and the framing inspector had no problem with it. The roof decking joints are NOT on in between trusses.
To all Tube reader I offer my apologies, I based my critique on the building codes in my area. (I live in the Chicago, Cook County Area). Some of the building techniques you used would never pass code out here. Chicago has some of the strictest codes in the country, 24 inch o.c. studs would not pass, no sill seal would not pass, using metal gussets instead of jack studs would not pass, etc. Although we do use gussets in pre-built trusses and the like, and we use rafter ties so the roof doesn't blow off, and we use sheathing clips, not gussets. As far as your roof sheathing, at 6min 27secs of your video, you can see the plywood hanging into a space between the rafters. (maybe it was cut to size after it was installed?) Remember measure twice, cut once, then install. But what really counts is that your happy with it, it passed inspection in your area, and that its still standing the next day. I've seen buildings collapse, due to snow and wind, (they don't call Chicago, The Windy City for nothin'). Good luck on your future projects.
Really sick as always!
looks great and congratulations on the baby

Great progress video. 👏
Looking good!
Great job on the push to make it happen!
Nice work!
So cool!
I haven't watched the whole thing, but just wanted to start with good job.
Puts up truss ... perfectly placed in right spot ... oh sh*t!
great video!
Awesome build! Looking to expand on my one car garage. Inspiring content!
liking the work, and the music! Timber was, and still is very expensive here is the UK, my build has also been at the most expensive time!!!
Great job

@@ThisOldJalopy thanks for the reply. Your series on the transformation of the vwmiata is inspiring.
Things I enjoyed the most.
1. New age porn music
2. Lacroix shirt
3. All that wood
LMAO, thanks
