The house wrap and T111 is perfectly fine for the shop. If anyone watches Ken's Carpentry, they build a dozen or more garages and shops a year and that is exactly what they have been doing in the northeast for a couple of decades. Good idea to work from the inside; work smart, not hard! With the windows cut out, you can sure see how great the light is in the shop. And Tuck Tape will fix that house wrap, or even Blue Skin, peel and stick. And good idea leaving the windows until the roof is on. Nothing like dropping a truss end during a lift and losing a window!
New sub- I’m binge watching your shop videos😃 Wow what a great project! I love the way you show everything and your videos are so organized and sequential!👍 Great content! Great construction!!👌👌👌 Thank you for all your hard work I hope you’re thoroughly enjoying your new space ✊
I was trying to wait for your next Green Acre video to come out, but I saw this on the side so I couldn't resist checking out the progress. I just want to say that the way you did your window openings was perfect. Flushing cutting is superior to the other methods and is more favored these days with window manufacturer's. Really, no one should be doing the X-cut anymore. That method is outdated and not ideal since it can send water down into your window header. The I-cut is okay, but it allows air and water to bypass the window insulation if it gets behind the wrap. So, no worries on your method. Everything looks good from here! Keep up the excellent content.
Thanks! Sorry for the delay... the next video on Green Acre Homestead showing this project will be a large summary/catch up video. So far every video posted on the channel for this workshop build has flopped so I've lost my interest sharing this project over there. I'll still show the completion, just in a very high level fashion. I've been very happy & encouraged with how Samcraft viewers have received the build videos though. :)
@@Samcraftcom Yeah, I know the feeling. I've said from the beginning, your channel is under-rated. Some people can post as little as they want, and as much low quality content as they want and will always get big views, and some of us have to work a lot harder for it. It can definitely be discouraging. Maybe call it a "shed" build instead of a workshop.
Sam its soooo exciting! Things coming together nicely ! But I think I see the makings of another channel?? Sam’s breaking and entering tips and tricks 😂😂😂
What about painting the outside now, instead of doing it later? You could use a spray gun and not have to worry about masking or any over spray. Just a thought! Looks great Sam!
That worked out pretty cool. I’ve seen guys use routers or rotozips to do that. I want to try all three next time. In the past I’ve usually measured and cut before hanging the sheet but this seems to be faster and more exact.
Looks kwel but I might have put foam board up instead of wrap. Taped all seams and some zip taped around the doors and windows then put the exterior siding . Love your process, the foundation is bulletproof !
yeah i mightve used a router with flushbit myself , mostly because it doesnt chew up the surrounding wood as mush shop looks good , kinda wondering wat youre going to use for inside sheeting , osb would be stronger against stuff hitting it compared to using plasterboard , though plasterboard helps keep the moisture level a little more even and might insulate sound and heat/cold a little better though if you stack lumber against it it probably falls straight through an migt even push out the siding in its fall
Where is Angela??? Is she really busy with filling orders for Christmas?? Great job with the shop build!! My husband and I love watching your progress!!
I do not understand why you would put house wrap under your wall sheathing. I also don’t understand why waterproofing window openings is different (less important?) on a workshop than a normal house. Is wood frame rotting in your shop less important than wood frame rotting in a house?

A router with a Flush trim bit will make cutting out your windows the world of difference! Great work though, I’ve been enjoying your videos!
For cutting those window openings drill 4 holes and then use a router to run round the framing. Nice clean edges...

Thank you for all your hard work
I hope you’re thoroughly enjoying your new space ✊
I would've used a .005 brass shim to protect the house wrap as you cut down the line. But it is what it is lol.

What about the window behind you head at the end of your video?
May the lord bless and protect you and your family and the working on the homestead building for your shop
From the WINDOWS... TO THE WALLS... Good job Sam!
Sam its soooo exciting! Things coming together nicely ! But I think I see the makings of another channel?? Sam’s breaking and entering tips and tricks 😂😂😂
looking good.
Looking good

I envy your work energy…I used to have it but at 72 it doesn’t last as long anymore!😆
I feel your pain
I like the way that you find a nother way that works better for you and you use that way.
Not a builder but I enjoy watching your channel! You make it look easy. 😊
The windows let in a lot of light. You’re going to love that and the view.
Smooth ladder burgler showmanship
You've got this, it'll be exciting to see how y'all get the trusses thrown in place.
I agree, hold off on windows. Who needs a new window broken ? Can't wait to see the trusses go on.
You’re an excellent teacher!
you get a better air seal by removing the house wrap from your openings
That worked out pretty cool. I’ve seen guys use routers or rotozips to do that. I want to try all three next time. In the past I’ve usually measured and cut before hanging the sheet but this seems to be faster and more exact.
Great job Sam! Excited to see this adventure!
You could use an oscillating saw from the inside which could make for nicer cuts by take longer. Just a thought.
Blessings to you and your brother's workshops and blessings to the families. 🌟🎄
Just saw I was no longer subscribed to your channel. Nice job
Ooo! Trusses on the way!! 😃
Work is progressing nicely and looking good. Going to be cool to see the trusses up
Looks kwel but I might have put foam board up instead of wrap. Taped all seams and some zip taped around the doors and windows then put the exterior siding . Love your process, the foundation is bulletproof !
Thanks!
Happy to help, thank you!
Did you share how your connecting the two shops together? Get build, we've enjoyed it.
Thanks again for sharing Sam. Keep the vids coming mate. 😊
Thanks, will do!
Wtg Sam!!! ✌️💖🙏🤜
Love the progress your making. Can't wait to see the roof
Coming up very soon!
Looking good!
What is gained by wrapping the housewrap to the inside since the insulation and siding are on top of it? 😮
Waterproofing
Sam big fan keep building buddy 0:06

yeah i mightve used a router with flushbit myself , mostly because it doesnt chew up the surrounding wood as mush
shop looks good , kinda wondering wat youre going to use for inside sheeting , osb would be stronger against stuff hitting it compared to using plasterboard , though plasterboard helps keep the moisture level a little more even and might insulate sound and heat/cold a little better though if you stack lumber against it it probably falls straight through an migt even push out the siding in its fall

👍👍👍👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Should have used a router. Would have been easy and less headache
Looks awesome Sam, great work ❤
👍👍👍
What about the opening behind you?
💕💕🎶🎶
Why did you cut the window and door openings now, ,way before you are going to install them? So much for "dried in" 😮 😅
Aren’t you glad you don’t have 20 window openings to cut? Miss seeing Angela as she completes the channel.
