- In this update, we put carpet on the stairs, upgraded the plumbing, and cleaned up. In addition to that, I stopped at a computer store and am contemplating making a much-needed upgrade to some of my equipment.

Okay, I'll go to the Apple store and look at a Mac!
There’s a good reason it’s the go to platform for professional video editors
I wouldn't recommend a mac, if you ever need to repair it it'll be way more costly than any pc repair
If you're looking for more portability, the new MacBook Airs are a great option too. Similar specs to the iMac.
4K is not needed i think...
@@mastermike3940while it’s good for lightweight work, it throttles too easily during the summer, because fanless.
When this series started, I thought 'I don't need to watch them all. I'll keep up by watching one in three or four.' And yet, here I am, 6 weeks in, watching videos 10 mins after they get posted....
True dat brother lol
Yeah I was the same like who care about carpet tile or conduit, painting and which shop vac attachment you should buy. But here I am watching this daily going oh yay he started laying the carpet tile to he got rid of that extra conduit or there is the results of the shot vac. Remember when he said he changed the eye line for the clouds, and I was like, GET TO THE NEXT VIDEO, I WANT TO SEE IT!
Bahaha TRU 😂
Oh yeah, same here!!
Same man. This has been awesome
As a computer hobbyist who has custom built/assembled over 20 PC's in my lifetime, I can tell you that a warranty is a complete waste of money. Any component that is going to fail, is likely to do so within the first 30 days which is within Memory Express' coverage. Past that, things are likely to work as intended for the duration you own it or continue to use it. Also, building/assembling yourself is going to make your money go a lot further. There are plenty of step-by-step guides on youtube of how to build your own from start to finish. Another option being you are Canadian (and verified), you could reach out to Linus Tech Tips (fellow Canadian Tech TH-camr) for a collab or something. Him and his team would likely set you up with an absolute killer PC, I'm sure you two could work something out.
That would be a collab for the ages! I'm 36 and have been building pcs since 15 years old. I second everything you said here. I've never had a component fail within the first 5 years unless it didn't make it through year 1.
What I don’t understand, is a 2 year warranty not compulsory for the company selling it? Or is that a European thing?
For your eyesight, please don't get 23inch monitors. 27inch 1440p IPS are getting cheaper (about $200). You could also look into a ultrawide if you want more timeline when video editing.
As someone who has a 27" and a 23" second monitor go with 27 or ultra wide, 23 is too small for anything other then web browsing or multi tasking.
Video editing an ultra wide would allow to see more time line and you wouldn't have the bezel, and if your not doing that it can still act as 2 monitors
This is great advice and can tell you from experience that the difference between 23 and 27 inch monitors is way more than you realize
Is that in CAD$ or USD$?
Here’s the thing, if you’re buying the comp for 4k, it will add little value to you (it won’t net you a noticeable increase in subscribers) and little value to your subscribers (personally I don’t stream 4K even on a gigabit connection). Dont forget there’s other bottlenecks it will expose in your process, the file size and everything becomes harder to manage and then your upload will be something holding you back.
Focus on the value add first, things that will net you more subscribers, and once you are done there you can then get a new pc, maybe to speed up your 1080 footage and process first, 4K can be test and learn videos, see if they a tally perform any better in any of your metrics.
I made another comment but this exactly. I think bricksie is blind to the reality of the upload times, etc.
His channel doesn’t need 4k. The payoff for the time loss everyday isn’t worth it.
He needs to invest in MERCH. asap if he wants to go to the next lvl
Especially since he uploads daily. If less frequently then longer uploads wouldn't be as time crunching.
I wouldn't be surprised if some sponsors push for 4k plus there are people who sulk about videos not being 4k
Huge fan of the stairs. Comparing what it first looked like, to now, is really staggering! Great job. We are all excited for the end!
It's amazing how the little finishes always make such a huge difference, the stairs being carpeted almost gives it the feeling of an Office as opposed to a warehouse! I absolutely love what you've done with this space. If you haven't pulled the trigger on the computer I would consider trying the system from Costco to see if it meets your needs, if it's not powerful enough they have an amazing return policy!
Loved seeing this studio completely transform! Glad your dream is coming along and can’t wait to see the end and start of transferring all the Lego!
The transformation from the first studio video and this one is crazy 😮
I went back and watched some of the early studio videos this morning, it's WILD how they transformed this space
Love this update. So very close. The stairs look fantastic, great color choice. The whole space is looking fantastic. I noticed that you still don't have the pumped condensate from the water heater going to anything proper yet. I would suggest updating the drain line for the new sink to include a double outlet and 2 p-traps. the drain for the sink would go into one while the condensate the other. The trap would be needed to keep any sewer gases from escaping. The condensate would be hidden under the sink as well.
If you want to invest in a good computer, i would check multiple stores, hearing what they have to say/offer. The one you showed earlier in that big store was pretty cool with the lights in.
You should name your robot slave1 😄 and give it eyes
Had a thought! You may want to fit a child Stairgate upstairs at the studio. May be one at the bottom depending how often the Small people are there.
I read this as a “STARgate” first time lol
Reach out to a tech TH-camr and see if they are willing to collaborate and build you a custom Lego themed PC
@linustechtips
Jayztwocents if he’s still around
@Jayztwocents
Amazing how much you’ve achieved so quickly getting the new studio sorted. You manage to sort a major issue out each day and still upload vids and do family time. Most of us would still be stuck at the lighting and sanding walls stage 😅
Wondering why you would get non 4k monitors if you plan on rendering in 4k. Wouldn’t you want to be able to see the full quality of the video?
I think if he had one 4k monitor and then one cheap monitor that would probably work
Yes don't get that either 😁. Best to have one 4K 32 inch monitor then 2 smaller ones with less quality
it seems weird shilling out over a 1000 on warranties for the "elite" PC but skimping on monitors
exactly. makes no sense lol. probably money but then whats the point of any of it?
You dont need 4k monitors to eddit 4k as it makes no diffrence to the output however considering the low cost of 4k monitors these days 180p is a bit low 1440p is a good sweet spot
I would hold off on the computer. You have had a lot of expenses to date. I would just make do. There will always be sales.
Hey best to get a PC with an i9 processor instead of i7 and 64 or even 128 GB of RAM. The 4070 is pretty good, but mostly for gaming and maybe overkill for video editing. 30 series is fine, or a 4060. Also make sure you have at least 1 or 2 GB of SSD storage for your programs and for storing the video files your working on. To store finished video files or old files your not editing a HDD is good. Maybe get like 4GB. Also take a look at AMD computers instead of Intel. They have very good processors for video editing with lots of cores. Good luck 😄
Professional video editor here: if you can switch to Mac, you will save thousands. The M1 Mac Mini is about $800-$1200 and can handle everything I throw at it (multi camera and multi hour 6k timelines). Plus it has awesome compatibility if you get an accompanying laptop!
Not to mention the upcoming Elite X chips for Windows machines look like they’ll at least compete with M-series chips, and should be cheaper. That PC specced out looks like a ripoff.
@@bradkbrown Only real rip off is paying them to build it instead of getting a few key upgrades. Price for components isn't that far off, similar specs, but going 64GB ram, and adding an extra 4TB hard m.2 as well as the 1TB would be like 2K USD. So that's like 2800 Canadian.
I edit 4k on the M1. It is absolutely lovely. But still time consuming. But I agree. He needs to switch to an M3 Mac
I would 100% recommend an “M” series “Max” chip from Apple. They are specifically designed with additional GPU cores for video editing. I just picked up an M1 Pro for music production after owning an Intel-based Mac, and the Apple Silicon chip doesn’t even break a sweat! Plus, you could probably even get by with a laptop so that you could take it between work and home easily.
Hi. If you board up under the stairs it would not only hide the electrics but also give you more hidden storage
That'd be a great place for shop vacs and other things that would take up big space in the storage room.
That’s the type of think I was thinking of under there.
The end of this journey is soo near!❤
So impressed with your project. The stairs are gorgeous. You've increased the value of that property immensely.
Bricksie, I recommend you get a MacBook Pro with like 32GB RAM and that should cover all of your needs for many, many years to come. I know it's expensive, and it's a bit of a transition from Windows, but it'll be so worth it in the long run. I guarantee if you get the M3 Max, you won't need a separate desktop machine. You could continue to use Da Vinci Resolve, or you could switch to Final Cut Pro for an even more buttery experience.
Why would you ever choose apple when you have windows, and even better, Linux?
It will be great see the end results of this journey, I pretty much started watching at the start of the new studio. Stairs are awesome!
Found your channel when you got the warehouse and I’ve been loving the transformation! Looks amazing and I’m so excited to see it finished. Love the videos and thank you for putting in the effort for posting frequently! ❤️
Looks amazing, recommend putting a safety cover on the top stair lip since it’s metal. Once cause I remember as a kid I tripped on some stairs like tht and cut my knee open pretty deep. Hopefully nothing like tht happens to your kidos. Hope it’s helpful.
The stairs look great! Everything is working out nicely.
Stairs look amazing!! Great job 👏🏻
Loving all the hard work your doing and it's such an amazing transformation. You doing what your doing is just adding more n more value to that space as well. Great job bricksie
It's so exciting to see how the new studio is coming together! I subbed to the channel around the time you moved to the LEGO room, so seeing how you're making your third studio is amazing!
I'm selling PCs for a living so I'll tell you this:
- The PC you showed is a really good deal
- Make sure the PSU you get is Gold certification. That's the part that handles all the electricity distribution in your PC, so don't try to save too much money there
- You don't need DRR5. As of right now, it may be much faster than its predecessor, DDR4, but it also has very high latency. So you don't really do much except pay more now for the same speeds (unless you want your PC to serve you for more than a few years and will upgrade some of its parts)
- I highly recommend getting a case that doesn't have glass in the front. It looks nice, but mesh in the front will help for better thermal regulation
- Clean the inside of your PC every 4 months with compressed air. Dust buildup can have a very high negative impact on performance and enough dust buildup is also a fire hazard
Building your own PC isn't much harder than putting Lego set together, maybe you could build your own gaming/4K editing PC for a lot cheaper than that quote and make some TH-cam videos out of it as well.
Don't know how to do that . I would rather let the professionals do it, TBH
@Bricksie open your current PC to dust it. See a few slots to insert a RAM and a hard drive. That’s it.
@@Bricksiethe parts only fit in one way any you can't really go wrong, you can also check out some PC or tech TH-cam channels like Linus tech tips for how to build a PC. It is fairly simple. I built one last year.
@@BrickTemplarneeds processing power.
@@Bricksie It's waaaay easier than you think. Building this studio is 1000x times more complicated tbh. If you can simply screw in screws and plug in cables, you're all the way there.
I got a idea. For your lego city you cold do a small Area where there is a lake that floods onto the houses near it I thought the the flood cold be made out of blue briks if you make it then I think it wold look good in a big lego city 😊
It's all really cone together bricksie. You've done an Amazing job and hope you get to have a break sometime soon but I know how hard you work. Keep it up.
I’m hoping you decide to shop around. I just recently bought a MSI Predator with higher specs for $1800 USD. The studio looks so good. The mural was worth every penny.
I am also a daily watcher. I wake up in the morning, and think... can't wait for today's Bricksie video. What are we gonna do when its just LEGO moving forward...lol
I love those soft-close toilet seats! Their only drawback….don’t forget other toilet seats (friends, church, public, etc.) may not have this feature! Can be very embarrassing if they are the old style heavy ones! (So I’ve been told...😅)
Good you dont rush and check online also there is alot of better deals there on legit sites.and compare prices
6:36 why is not one talking about his vacuum named slave 💀
Very surprised there’s not more comments.
Thx for the advice Mrs. Bricksie! Ty for being the rock that allows Jordan to share these videos with us.
He’d be screwed without you!
Millie is a hoot😃🥰.
Loving everything so far. It's almost done and I sort of feel sad it's come to an end. What a journey!
That carpet and stairs look good!
Ive replied to some comments already about PC/monitor stuff but I'll put it here too.
For monitors some one mentioned the 23", your better off probably going for a 27" or ultra wide, i have a 27" and a 23" as a second monitor it is small. An ultra wide would allow for the whole thing to be used with no gaps so editing, time line would be bigger. Then it could also act as dual monitors when doing other things
For the PC that would render videos just fine, my 2020, 2080 super GPU, AMD Ryzen 7 3700X cpu, 16gb 3200mhz ram renders 4k videos decently, I only done a few, as I kinda got bored with doing the same type of game videos and just stopped. But it was great.
4:15, because you have to ask josée... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Some instore lego advertising banners along the inside of the stairs would look awesome.
The stairs look great! The carpet choice was right on. Matches up well.
For the computer, unless you get more $$ for 4k videos, it probably isn't worth the spend if your current system gets the job done. That'd give you time to get the other things you really need for the city and rooms. Like you said, new computers will be available later - you have bigger fish to fry.
Bro just casually names his vacuum slave 😂😂😂
I haven’t been in on the changes for a while; but from today’s video, everything looks amazing. I know that you are always looking for the upgrades (and that is great) so keep looking. The first one you look at always looks so great. Take some time to look around and comparison shop.😊
I spent that 4 years ago for just the case and components, and that was with $1000 off for a pre-Black Friday sale!
LOL the stairs are done
The kids are so cute! I've watched there whole journey growing up since the hospital video. They are getting so big! Also the studio looks awesome so far! Me and my brother are so excited to see the Lego city come together! Some advice for the studio, you could get a long table to put a microwave and such down for your kitchenette
Glad you found a fellow workaholic to help you out. Send him my way when you're done.
I really excited about the white Lego storage bin. Everything looks awesome 🤩
Maybe look in to building a computer. There's hundreds of videos on Yt and it's honestly pretty easy. You can build Lego you can build a computer. Or reach out to your fellow Canadians Linus Tech Tips.
I love this journey. Inspiring! 👍
Your studio looks great! I love that you have mirrors for the kids in the car 😃
Sucks that you have to buy additional warraties, especially for less than 5 years. In Quebec, we are protected by the OPC (Office de protection du Consommateur) literally Consumer protection's office. It's well known that a good must work for a reasonable amount of time. The reasaonable part is debatable, but anything under 10 years should be protected one way or another.
And warranties don't guaranty that they will fix the pc if something breaks. They always have an excuse to not pay you. I normally you always have warrant from the company of the part that is broken. Wasted money in my opinion. Best to spend the money on a better pc
and a 4 year warranty is kind of redundant anyway, since 4 years from now everything will probably all be in 6k or 8k and a computer from 2024 will feel outdated, especially as a youtube content creator
I love your house. It's really nice but it's so real with everything going on and all completely curated for the kids.
Great updates
Looking great. Finishing line fast approaches which is fantastic after all your hard work and efforts, but I will miss the daily progress of work.
I recommend going with the updated PC. It'll make your life so much easier. I made the upgrade to a real gaming pc a few years ago and it changed my life. One thing to be aware of is monitors. You can 100% get cheaper ones used than theyre selling at the store.
Definitely build your own PC and make a video about it. Most would be interested
Got my coffee and ready for another great video 🎉
I am officially jealous of the scale of it all. Well done Jordan.
3k for a 4070 is crazy, thats like a 1500 max setup
I’ve been checking out reviews for robot vacs. Finally Just ordered the new Eufy x10 pro omni. Because it does everything and cleans itself as well. Hoping it’s as good as it reviews. Cheaper than the alternate brand flagship models.
I drink almost nothing but water these days... but Canada Dry has recently introduced a black cherry flavoured ginger ale that is awesome... which probably means that it won't be popular enough for it to stick around, because that's the way it goes. Caffeine has always been off limits to me for neurological reasons, so I never bothered with coffee.
Wow amazing progress bricksie such a cool project!
It would bug me so much that the carpet doesn't meet the stairs... or that it doesn't go to the wall even! ;D
These warehouse Lego studio updates keep getting better! Question? Are you thinking of installing security cameras? I would hate to see someone vandalizing the property or worse breaking in with all your Legos.
The crew at Memx will always treat ya right man!
Congrats on living your dream!!
You should rename the vacuum to Slave 2...
I can’t wait to see the final, before and after, video. Congrats on a project well done. I’m curious about where your shipping station will go.
Looking good, you're almost done. The new computer can wait, there's always black friday when it's cheeaper.
Not sure if ur a pc vs mac guy but the macbook pro, mac mini, mac studio their processors are really good for handling 4k video. My macbook with m1 pro is older but it handles 4k super easy... im sure the newer ones are even better
I honestly haven't touched an Apple product since 2009... can't stand them lol. I'm pure PC and Android.
@@Bricksie Apple will also be more expensive
i used to be pc only until i got into photography and video editing... then it grew on me- and now im in its ecosystem... i basically have both now 😂!
Looks a great computer but I don’t get why more TH-camrs don’t use iPad Pros for editing. Performance is up there with i high end computer but more convenient and cheaper. They can easily handle 4K, editing on an iPad is a great experience using a touch screen and a really quick way to edit. LumaFusion is amazing to use too.
Good choice on the computer most people don't watch in 4K and it really doesn't make a difference for us but a lot more work for you.
I watch in 720p 😭 my internet is garbage since I live out of town
Surprisingly enough, my analytics say 30% of my viewership comes from TVs, 4k would be way better for them.
@@Bricksie true, though 4k TVs nowadays are really really good at upscaling 1080p
When it's all done, you should do a "before and after" clip video put together from first-day walkthroughs and a post-completion walkthrough before you start moving stuff in.
For editing and work related things, it should be a no brainer to just buy an M series Mac... Sooo much cheaper than a PC for what you get. yeah you don't get the gaming power with a Mac but if you are using it for work, Mac's handle video editing way better than a PC for the price. I'm probably talking to a brick wall here but just check out the latest Mac mini's. You'll be saving over $1000 🤷♂
16:19 the kids are living the sunroof I see
Bricksie’s is such a good store name. Thoughts of opening a LEGO parts/reseller store?
If you, or a friend has some experience, Take a look at building your own computer. Picking the parts can be overwhelming at first, but actually putting the PC together, is as easy as LEGO! I suspect you would save several hundred dollars buying those components and assembling it yourself.
I'd probably mess it up, and it would take me over a day to do. It's not worth it to save a couple hundred, in my opinion.
@@Bricksie Yea that makes sense - been enjoying the studio transformation, excited to see the final product and the continued evolution of the city!
Jordan please get a awesome security system for the studio
dude you are living the dream. You literally get to hang out in a huge warehouse all day and play lego hahaha
Edit using Proxy Footage. You'll just need larger storage because you'll be duplicating your media files on import. Depending on your Video Editor of choice, when you import the files there should be an option to render proxy footage. Then select proxy footage for media playback while you're editing. It's less taxing on older pc's. When you are ready to export switch media playback to Original (4k) footage then export. It will obviously take longer but then you should have a 4k file ready to upload.
Any plans for under the stairs? Another broom closet? The stairs look cozy! Man you’re getting so close!! I’m excited to s how this next step will be a blessing to your family (next step? Do you get it? Ha ha dad joke 😂)
Long render times in Resolve is a familiar situation for us too...
Using as little "Fusion" features as possible solves the issue usually for us.
But yeah - new computer is a must have to reduce stilltime while rendering in progress,
I’m a tiny bit surprised you haven’t already invested in better tech. I feel like most TH-camrs are run Macs with M3 max chips. Those run like $3,000+ USD.
But I guess having a capable machine is really important
studio looking great :) probably good youre waiting with the computer. Also, pls no driving and filming. Stay safe, all of you :)
If you are upgrading to be able to ingest and export out 4k footage, do yourself a favor and make sure you have enough processing ability to handle 4K HDR as well. Since you would be spending money and going through the effort to upgrade, make sure you have enough head room to handle HLG footage with 10-bit color encoded as HVEC (h.265). This can take multiples of time longer than just plain SDR 4k footage to export out if you do not have the optimized hardware.
I am sure there are GFX cards or processors on the PC that can accelerate. If you are willing to make the switch to a Mac, the M series of chips have built in acceleration. Even with an M1 chip Mac, you can render out 10 bit HVEC footage in minutes versus hours and hours.
10:24 i will now go get water
I think u need to prioritize the 4K video needed for your channel. If it's then that PC is a monster. U don't need 6-7 years of any PC after the purchase. However, I think you need to finish the Lego studio first and lastly think you can buy the PC there is no need for that.
The carpet tile looks so good. The tile looks like it needs a refresh now :). JK, the place looks amazing
Jordon, just assemble your own computer. Piece it together. It’ll be cheaper and it’s easy!
There's gotta be a fan in here close to the new studio that can help you build something a little better for similar price or cheaper. Building a Computer is Like Lego anyway! But if you do go with what they are offering. I would be hesitant with the 1TB hard drive. You'll fill that up fast with 4K footage unless you have some other cold storage to move things to once you're finished. Might serve you better to throw in like a 12-18tb drive for extra storage once you're done working on a project.
Someone needs to get this man hooked up with @LinusTechTips and have them build a Lego Computer Case and small NAS.
Careful with those Intel KF chips. There's no integrated graphics on those so if your graphics card is acting funky you'll need a backup one to take out the old and install for testing.
I named my robot vacuums Floor2D2 and CFloorPO.
Lmfao mines named R2Clean2
How did you not call the hoover Slave 1 after Boba Fetts ship haha
As a professional video editor I second everyone’s suggestion to get a Mac. The M chip is a game changer.
You should try to build your own computer, its just like building with Legos
2:35 why would you get FHD monitors if you're specifically doing this upgrade for 4k footage? Also, you could build your own PC for cheaper by parting it out. Manufacturer warranty will cover you on anything concerning.
The carpet looks great, but I worry about how dirty it will get with snow, etc. I hope you will have a no shoes policy when entering the new studio?
