- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 พ.ย. 2023
- This structure gave us the BEST start going off the grid, and we are finally ready to turn it into an enclosed work shop. Full build video with time lapse and voice over narration. Tour and cost at the end.
We based our solar design off of this website. If you want to know more, check it out. www.purplealienplanet.com/nod...
This video was filmed and then edited entirely on my android phone using InShot:inshotapp.page.link/YTShare video editor. It wasn't easy, but I somehow I made it work. 😅🏜️ - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I have been a carpenter for 40 years , and I have built all sorts of buildings . Take it from me , you two did a remarkable job on your shop . You both should be extremely proud of yourselves . Great videography and narration on the video also . This is the first of your videos I have viewed , and I'm subscribed now . Take care , God bless .
Thanks so much! 🧡🏜️
But you never learned about uplift or basic engineering?
@@fishhuntadventure What is your question ?
@@fishhuntadventure What exactly are you saying? If you have knowledge to share please do. Did they miss something or do something incorrectly in your opinion?

I've worked in the cement industry for 45 years. You really should have had reinforcement in the concrete and expansion material between the 4 pads. I would suggest you put saw cuts across the floor where the pad joints were, about 80% depth, so that when the concrete wants to crack and move you have some control over where it happens. You can fill the saw cuts with something flexible if you want.
Because concrete expands and contracts thermally almost as much as steel. Maybe where this is, may have a temperature difference of up to 50 degrees centigrade in 12 hours. so without an internal skeleton structure it will soon form stress fractures and small cracks dont stay small if there is nothing holding it together. however lets hope 4 small 6 inch slabs will be fine. @@baratmalli6413
45 years? And you don’t realize you don’t need rebar with fiber mesh?
If you have a chance take a jackhammer to concrete with steel mesh , rebar , fiber mesh, and then no reinforcing at all . The reason will become very apparent . @@J297WFD
@@J297WFD I missed any mention of fibermesh. No need to get snarky. Also fiber is added for specific purposes which does not include replacing rebar for heavy traffic sustainability.
E😅eeeeee😅èeeeeeeeeeeee😅😅😅
What i enjoyed the most of this video was the running commentary, guiding us through the entire build.
Kudos to you both!
I wish I were able to undertake a project in a place like you have done. Finances and health currently do not allow me to do this. But I am going to live vicariously through y’all!
Cool project! Hats off to April for making it all happen on YT!
Now you can add two”BIG ASS “ ceiling fans. Great video. Fun to watch. Thank you both for your very hard work. Ten thousand thumbs up!!!!!
Thanks so much! He'll probably just be using portable fans. We also have a portable evaporative cooler that will be nice during the hot & dry part of summer. 🌞
Good to see you all again. So interesting and your voice is very calming to listen to as well.
Appreciate it, thanks for watching!
You two plus the help from the friends and family did an amazing job!!!
Ze bestaan nog de vakman, geweldig dat u dit allemaal kan 🙏👌heb met plezier gekeken bedankt 👍
Congratulations on your well built structure. Over the last 10 years I built my own 40x60 shop in similar fashion. Along the way I encountered many of the same challenges you did. I even produced my own TH-cam called "How I built my pole barn shop" with six parts. Using salvaged scrounged metal and wood saved a fair amount of money. Watching you work through each phase brought back many happy memories. Well done.
Thanks! Your shop turned out really nice!
Well ,Thank you April for all your editing work .
Extremely nice fit and finish. A multi use structure anyone would love to have on their home turf. I know I would. 🇺🇸
Totally awesome & inspirational = KUDOS TO YOU Y'all !!
I remember finding the original videos of the start of the build. The shop ended up amazing!
Thanks for sharing and making the full build video!
Congrats!
Appreciate it, thanks for following along!
Great job on the building process and the videography. I couldn’t stop watching because the video and voice overs were so well done. Now you have a good enclosed space for your future projects.
Thanks so much! Yes, he's really enjoying the space!
Totally agree 👍
Well done! Love seeing repurposed material going into the build.
Awesome build, thank you April.
Much respect to the amount of work. This an example of why you have the have and the have nots. Most people would not have put in the work, sacrifices and investment.
Very informative and interesting. Also one can not help but to notice all the work and planning that went into this shop. Yes I am also jealous. Thanks for sharing this with us.
April, thank you so much for your effort in documenting this. I’ve been watching since you dug your footers and it’s been fun to see the channel grow and to follow along with all your projects. Red, you have created my dream shop. What a great job using all those reclaimed materials and combining them with integrity and great craftsmanship. Fortunate timing on scoring the woodworking equipment.
Appreciate it, thanks so much for following along! Hope you have a wonderful thanksgiving! 😊🦃
I'm retired, this was worth the 2hrs of my life to watch.
What I didn't catch was how long it took.
Granted it was on vacation time.
Thanks! It took about 5 weeks to complete, working on it about 8 hours a day. He worked on it pretty much full time, during the 5 weeks, but did take a few days off to do other things.
Those flush-cutting saws are something anyone that works with wood should have. Not too expensive and really the best tool for many jobs.
Amazing Build, Great Family, Thanks
What an awesome project! Turned out GREAT!
Thanks!
Very impressive, Red and April! That's a really nice looking Barn/Workshop.
Beautiful shop You can be sure proud of it. Them containers are the way to go .
Thanks! Yes, the containers worked out great!
So much productivity, im jealous
Extremely well done for all the hard work you have achieved a home and especially the barn to be completely satisfied with 🇬🇧🇮🇪.
The Best You tube I've seen this year. I have built a garage in the past, 2 story. Now planning something in residential and shop!
Great build and awesome breakdown of the process. Thank you for sharing.
Brother the shop is absolutely awesome. Thank you for the video.
Great journey, thanks for the ride along. Amazing job, you guys are living your best life!!
Outstanding! Very resourceful.
Wise to have a hoist. So MANY thing's you can do with it. Lifting, harvesting your animals and using it as a swing or engine repair ETC. ENJOYING watching your VLOG. NICE windows. I like different shapes.
Thanks! Yes, very useful! It's nice to finally have a good place to attach it!
Great job you two, you should be proud of it .
This has given me some good ideas for taking care of some of the things I want to do on my homestead property. Now that I see how to get what I want with less time and work. Very helpful. Thank you for the podcast. 👍👍
It has worked out great for us, glad the video was helpful! 😊🏜️
I really enjoyed watching this step by step process and it has been wonderful and filled with knowledge for me. I appreciate you sharing this with us and hope to see more. Great job!!! I really learned a lot and this kind of adventure makes me know it can be done with planning, patience and persistence. Thank you!
Red I was captivated throughout the video, great job of editing and your narration really helps in keeping the viewer feel like he's part of the build, also I was impressed on the build quality and your attention to detail on build integrity and materials used for a structure that will hold up to the elements & time, Congrats! Javi G. Tucson,AZ
What a fantastic achievement,, very well done.
I have to say, you are quite the handy DIYer. You exude confidence and a great knowledge of building techniques.
He's self taught, and we have done a lot of crazy projects throughout the years. Back when you had to figure out how to do things without the Internet. We also had to get really creative because we didn't have much money or tools. Lots of trailer house remodels, additions, etc... and eventually moving on to bigger things. Thanks! 😊
Looks great
This is absolutely satisfied… great job
Truly a pleasure to watch! you are both blessed to be able to work together and accomplish what you have! You are truly a craftsman in using what you "got" and its application. April is priceless in helping as needed thruout the build and the filming! May God Bless You two!!
Thank you so much! 😊
nice job folks!
Excellent !
Great job!!
Thank YOU April and Red for your fantastic build. I will do something VERY similar in Maine, 3 miles from the coast.
Thanks for watching! Best wishes!
Excellent work, thanks for sharing
Brilliant build well done
Work of heart ..enjoyed watching this ,
Simply incredible. THANKS April for bringing all this to us, and Thanks Red for DOING all the sweat equity.
Very well built neat and clean looking
Very cool idea
Awesome job. Very, very impressed.
Great job guys ❤
This brought me so much joy this is similar to what I want to build but I want to create it into a home
Beautiful.
Well done to the both of you.
April is a jewel! You guys make a wonderful team. Cool barn build. It should last two lifetimes. Look forward to more projects n updates. Cheers from Houston, TX🤘🏾 🤠
Thanks so much! 😄🏜️
You would never have gotten the quality of workmanship seen here if you had hired this out. Alot of today's workmanship is what i call "Just enough or Just bye" and i said bye cuz now they are gone.!
What a great build
Great job
Great job y’all!
Good job. Nice shop
Great build it looks so nice! Great job!
You have done a fantastic job it looks great.
Everyone’s got their different opinions, bottom line is you did a great job and you’re happy with it. Thx for documenting it.
Fabulous shop 😊
Thanks! 😊
Thank you both!
This was a pleasure to watch .
Did you have any experience putting up metal buildings?
Great job!
It's nice to see
Some people going through the same extreme technical work
For a quality job.
Great filming and editing
April!
We have used sheet metal on a few shed roofs in the past. We like that it's low maintenance and fireproof. We used it on everything we built out here: our well house, home, and shop. Appreciate it, thanks for watching! 😊
I am so happy to have found you again. I followed you, what seems like years ago on the other channel, on your journey to your off grid space. Then you disappeared. Random 'sheet metal' search brought this up.
This long video is very well done. The best video on TH-cam showing every detail of the build using shipping containers. Well done Red and April.
Glad you found us again! 😊🏜️
awesome build! so much room to work!
Got to the end - well done, I would give my eye teeth for a shop like that. There is nothing wrong with using ’pre-loved’ materials and equipment. I think with all the price hikes, our ‘throw away’ culture is going to be a thing of the past. Just as an aside I listen to a lot of audiobooks, your voice seems well suited to them if you ever get fed up with the manual labour (of love). Look forward to watching/listening to the next and the rest, have a nice one from the rainy 🇬🇧 😊
Thanks so much! 😊🏜️
Nicely done. impressed me.
Fantastic build, with great ideas
I think your homespun shop is fantastic! Great work!
Looks incredible well done ..
I remember your old channel. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the video. Good and conservative work
Great video, and what a great space to have to work in. Thanks for sharing
Great job guys, best of luck!
Kudos to you and April
Thank you for the great video. Plenty of information and well detailed. You sir are quite modest! Very admirable 😊 congratulations with this big move chapter of you and your families lives ! 👌 Very gratifying
I found this very inspirational, thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Very cool project! Thanks for sharing it with us!
Appreciate it, thanks for watching!
I really appreciate your sharing your reasoning with us as you build. You have such a large work space now. Thanks for sharing.
You are welcome! He is definitely enjoying the space! 😊
Great job, I enjoyed watching and wish you all the best. God Bless!
Nice one. Takes me back to the very begining, turned out awesome..
Thanks for being a long time subscriber, and for all of the nice comments! 😊
That was a fantastic video! A HOOO-RAAAY! for April. Very well done!
Thanks! 😊
Excellent result for the price, you guys are so talented. Keep your channel going I love watching it
Great work and an excellent video.
Great video 👍
Really enjoyed your video, thanks for sharing, take care
Great shop! I was looking into building a shop somewhat like this, but I was going to use 3-40' High Cube Containers. Place them in s "U" shape and pour 40'x40' of concrete slab inside the "U," creating a single car garage, another single car garage used as a workshop and then 16'x39' as a hobby room. Live in 1-40' container, 1-40' container as another hobby room, and the last 40' container as storage and the utilities room, water tank, reverse osmosis, solar batter storage, inverters.
Sounds awesome! Turning a shipping container into a house has a lot of challenges, but it can be done. Best wishes!
awsome work ,sir.very nice.
Thanks for sharing so many details. A great effort and inspiring. Enjoy!
Appreciate it, thanks for watching!
Nice!!
Congratulations 🎉
I am hoping to someday build a barn like that someday. A step drill bit would help to cut the 1/2" holes in the angle iron.
Thumbs up! A little trick when drilling for those who don't know is. drill a pilot hole first. The pilot hole size should be the same size as the tip of your final drill bit. When I say the tip I mean where the two edges meet on the drill bit. It will drill like butter after if your drill bit is sharp.
Edit: Wrote my comment before seeing you drill the pilot hole. hehehe
Yes, you can see him pre-drilling with a smaller drill bit in a lot of the time lapse segments. We should have mentioned it in the video.
Those step drills work fast, maybe on thinner stock.
Excellent video , start to finish! I'm constructing a garage with 20 ft containers this comming summer, in heavy snow country- needless to say, requirements are more severe!
Interesting..Thank you for sharing..Go Arizona, Go.
