Did you pay for your house or did your Mommy and Daddy pay for it? 🤔🤔🤔 if they paid for it give them credit and put a sign saying Mommy and Daddy money 💰
As a former builder with 12 years of owning my own company, and 25 years of construction, I can say that your numbers are very realistic. I like the way that you have done this project young man. I have bought some land near the mountains out to itself in northeast Georgia. Wife wants a nice house. I want a shop to restore my 1969 Camaro. I am close to retiring from work, 4 years maybe. You have gave me inspiration at 64 years old to pursue a shop building FIRST! I might end up living in it by myself but ol well. Thank you for posting this video. Good work all around, in the video and construction.
I got an estimate for a 60x80 metal building slab and all for $160,000 down in texas and I believe that included 4 bay doors. The guy said the price also depends on the cost of steel at the time too and I believe it was high a year ago when I asked. Now of course this didn't include the land and this was just an open steel building with no rooms inside. I can just build an office inside if I want one.
@A W I think it had basic electrical, no plumbing. I'm in the process of buying a property with a steel building on it already and just adding a smaller addition to it later on since I don't trust that the contractors will stay on budget. I can see that 160,000 easily turning into 250,000. That quote for 160,000 I got about a year ago. Right now with the covid-19 thing going on the contractors are swamped and I can't even get anyone to get back with me with a quote.
I have two friends that have this same setup. One is almost this exact size and one is less than half. Both being a 25/75. I thought living space was small at first but being a dude that’s usually off the couch and phone, the inside is for the boss lady so let her “design” her part so you can get yours. Dude has a lot of 💰in unused space, which is nice if it fits in the budget. It cost more to build and more air to heat. Porter field do yourself a favor and do the blown insulation then the foam board insulation in the wall(buy it surplus/salvaged)You can get more out of the living space by bed and bath upstairs. Cut out the 💀 space and use the money for geothermal(you can do it yourself and way cheaper than any bid from HVAC companies) cuz the boss lady’s cold little toes are gonna have you chopping a shit ton of locust or spending your supercharger money on more coziness! God Bless and thank God for our Bull in this commy china shop Trump!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💯
I’m 70, still semi active carpenter and former builder (about 60 houses). You did good kid. And yes- You did right by getting the large enough footprint first. Fill in with bells and whistles later. Take care.
I'm a single lady. I get excited about the bells and whistles. I need to keep reminding myself about the important thing= foot print= square footage. I'm just starting. I hope I can do this.
At being 22 man, that's an impressive achievement. Your humbleness shows lots about your character, love the tour and the breakdown of everything. Keep it up!
Trust fund kid with nothing but time and money to do whatever. Everything looks pristine and unused, because it is. He doesn't even use this. It's literally just a youtube video. Reality TV is fake man.
bobby solo a friend had a setup like that! A four bay garage with his apartment on one side and an apartment on the other side that paid for the mortgage.
Me too. I am a Fire Sprinkler Fitter so I see these short wall offices in warehouses and just dream about having a house in the corner of my shop one day.
Ha, true, but I've been married for almost 20 years and almost turning 40, and this is MY dream LOL! Would love to do something like this in 5 years when we have our house paid off :)
i'm 52 and this is my dream garage/house. i have 3x 20'x40' sheds and they are crowded with all my cars, and when i put anything on the 4 post hoist i have to check to see i don't crush the car roof. we bought 18 years ago because it had 6 car carport between 2 houses, and 1-1/2 sheds.
Wow! Genius! I'm a 60 year old man, widowed/retired. Been trying to decide what to build on my 5 lots in Texas on an airport taxiway. you just gave me so many ideas! Thanks.
My house is very similar to yours and I am extremely satisfied with it. Been living in it around 8 years now with zero issues. One suggestion I have for you is to look into mini split AC and heat pump combo. I started off with window units and heat strips but electric bills were more expensive than I liked. I made the switch to mini splits and couldn’t be happier. They’re very efficient and quiet. Cut my electric bills in half. Very simple to install as well.
I did the same in my garage. Mitsubishi 48k BTU unit outside and 3 head units inside. Works great and low cost to operate. It helps that I really insulated the garage well.
My house/garage is 50x150 I park my class A 36' motorhome inside and live in that. when I need more room in the shop, I can always move the house very easily.
I'm not sure how this video was recommended to me but after watching this all I gotta say is mad respect to you, looks like you worked very hard to get what it was that you wanted and you're very humble about it.
ABSOLUTE MAD RESPECT to you in so many aspects my man!! You are LIVING your best life and I have no doubt that you will go very far in life! And the best of luck to you going forward for sure! I’ve been on TH-cam for many years and have subscribed to less than 10 channels, you sir are my 10th and I look forward to watching your progress...KEEP THAT POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE, TRUST THE PROCESS AND DEFINITELY KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!
BRAVO ---- You're my hero. I wanted to build that house/garage in 1965. Because of--- "life" --- it took me 30 years but I finally ended up with something a little less than yours. You did good building what you wanted to start with. Now I'm 75 and almost too old to use my home machine shop. Your cost break down was excellent, much appreciated and spot on. P.S. ---- good luck finding a woman who wants to live in a house like yours. (there are some around though.)
We had a 30x40 building built and had to do the same thing. What sucks about it is the cost. You be surprised how projects like a pole barn will nickel and dime you to death.
The video is excellent. Your build is amazing. You did some well thought out planning to make your dream a reality! And your planning included for future additions, expansions, and improvements. It's hard to get compliments from me, but, by golly!, I take my hat off to you many, many times! You are obviously smart, competent, very capable, and responsible. I'm 74 and can't give you any ANY advice except, maybe: "Don't EVER sell yourself short!!". I'm not jealous or envious of you at all! I'm just VERY happy FOR you!! From what I see, you deserve all the good that comes your way. I'm glad that you live in a country that allows a person like you to do what you are doing! I hope we can keep it that way!
Yo i got recommend this vid, took some time to watch it...don't regret a single minute, this house is AMAZING for your age and a dream for a car enthusiats im definately subbing!!!!
I literally had a conversation with my friend the other day about how we would build a house around a garage. Looks like this man's already living the dream.
Its funny I found this video. Got so excited I told everyone. I swear every person I know had already watched it. I'm 44 and it's time to finally get started on my own place before it's too late
I want to hit that magical triple digit footage mark too at least in length. I’d recommend putting bay doors on both ends if you can swing it. Easier to get vehicles in and out.
As a married man my first thought when you went inside was "that doesn't work". Switch the brain to a single guy and loved it. I wish I had taken the opportunity to do this when I was your age, having a father that was a builder would have made it a breeze and it would have fit my needs perfectly.
I’ve wanted to build something similar to this for as long as I can remember. This has been really helpful and inspiring for me to start coming up with designs and researching mor win depth what I need to do. Love your videos man
Let me start out with " Great Job"! One can tell you put a lot of time and energy into the design and layout of your project and it looks and functions well. Appears you chose a great group of sub-contractors who also had your best interests at heart and the finished project shows. I was a new home builder and remodeler for years and I caution you on others suggesting after the fact you should have done this or moved that knowing they mean well. Be happy with what you have and when the next project comes along and there will be another project in your future you will be all the wiser my friend. You have all the best reasons to be proud of what you have accomplished for your self and wish you nothing but peace and happiness. Keep up the good work!
I'm not his parent or a parent at all but I'm proud of him. imma bout to sell this house and do this. very very interesting. If I could get commercial/residential zoning that would be bad ass
@@Kordare remember they have a heat limit between 40 Deg F to 0 Deg F when heating depending on the unit. In other words you will need a separate heater when it's cold
The new low temp ones actually kick out heat down to -22. Mine still heats fairly well at -13. Yes, some backup heat is needed, but not that often. I live in southern Minnesota.
Awesome video. Straight to the point. No nonsense. No BS. Love what ya built. Well thought out, simple, efficient. This is gonna help me a lot in building my own.
I’m not sure why this came up on my recommended feed (I watch a lot of car vids) but great video of someone creating a place exactly (or near as much) as they want and need. I’m an architect and this would never be something for me - I’ve got a small historic house in the city with a garage that could barely hold a Mini and a 3’ driveway lol - but the functionality and design is exactly what it should be for your lifestyle needs. I love the three tall windows in the garage. It would be great to see you develop the outdoor area with a terrace or deck, maybe with some shading if needed as a space to hang out with your buds after a big day and take in the view when the weather is good. Inspiring to see someone making it happen and living his own dream. You seem like a humble and level headed guy. Peace!
That means a lot coming from an architect, and I really appreciate the respect of others wants/needs/styles! Not enough people have that attitude, thanks for the comments!
Trust me, I know how much budget drives a design. Everything is a bit of a compromise, the trick is getting as much of the elements that are most important to the program set in place and still getting most of the secondary basics taken care of with the potential to capture nearly every last bit as funds allow. Design and build for now and the future.
My man, I am 23 myself and looking for literally almost the same design as you! Probably not as huge of a garage but close. Thanks for the breakdown and full your, definitely will help with what I'm going against. I have my own land but just nervous on the upfront pricing and the whole process. So thanks for that 🙏❤
Im just wondering what job he scored. I just got out of college, land a good paying job, but now have all this debt to pay off before doing anything like this :'(
@@relajad0 My guess is that he did not go to college, that means NO debt. That kind of project is not done from the average college personne. No saying then can not. It's just not there profile...
Your home/shop is amazing! Definitely not something to have to downplay, way to go after what you want, and stay within your budget! It's perfect for your needs/wants and that's what matters the most! It's every mans dream and a few ladies also for sure! If a "she" doesn't like it, shes probably not the one anyways. Thanks for the tour of it and best of luck to you!
Absolutely spot on! Amazing having the forethought of pouring the floor at 6" so lift equipment can be placed anywhere. That is a great tip for your viewers! Awesome Job brother! Thanks
I’ve been considering doing this, much smaller though, I’m thinking 30’x60x16.Turn 30x30 into a garage, leave it unfinished with polished concrete floors and a 30x30 living area and 30x15 loft. My thoughts on building this type of setup is build what you need, you can always make it nicer later.
Thank you for this video. I've watched tons of walk through videos of similar builds, but nothing with this much detail and insight, especially the breakdown of the cost. Very well done.
Larry Nichols: You will achieve your dream! If you are thinking this way already at 14, nothing can stop you. As choices and opportunities present themselves, choose the one that leads you toward your dream...not away from your dream!!
gcflower99 thank you as a 15 year old now i have a 1980 chevy c10 my old farm truck that i have been slowly putting money into and i am working on a ls swap for more reliable and little more power nothing insane but its mine
I wish I had been as smart and motivated as you are at that age, but I was too busy chasing girls, driving fast cars and having fun to care about building a nice house. You have done a great job of setting up your home and it will serve you well in the future. Best of luck to you sir, you deserve it.
Prenup. Prenup. Prenup. Love the setup. Hoping to build the same. I've purchased this project many times over post divorce (money down the drain). Good to see a young man doing well.
I thought I had my design squared away and then I watched this video. Now I am thinking about rethinking my plans. But more than likely the budget will win. Awesome job you did.
I build pole building everyday and I love shed houses. Especially for car and truck guys/gals they are perfect! Awesome job but shouldve had me build it ;)
7 or 8 years ago I sat down and sketched out something very similar to this, except I wanted to leave all the land around the house wooded (so I could sit on the front porch and watch birds/wildlife while I enjoyed my cigars). I told my old man about it during a visit and he kind of scoffed at the idea, then last year he built one himself (not wooded, but in the middle of 80 acres). I got remarried 1.5 years ago, to a city girl, so those dreams have gone up in smoke, but at least I can live vicariously through builds like yours... Nice work!
You know you're a GEARHEAD when... Very nice!! I couldn't convince my wife to build a garage house but I did build a new garage with an 9000# auto lift installed!
My wife and I are planning on buying land this year...our goal is to build a place very similar to this (likely just a smidge smaller). So this has been good context.
@Billy Bob it's called hard work. I owned my first 130k house at 24 with only a 60k loan. Rehabbed it by 26 and sold for 200k and moved to Florida all while turning a wrench. I'm 34 now and building a 800k house and shop on the water here in Florida for half the cost because I own a construction company now. Work for it and don't let anyone hold you back. I worked 80 hour weeks at the shop and out of my own garage to afford what I wanted. Only regret was not putting money into the markets I'd pry be a millionaire but I did invest into myself. No college, barely passed High School because of myself being ADD and grew up with abusive parents. I did find an amazing wife that works just as hard plus we didn't have kids till after being married for 6 years which I made sure of. Ever want advice I've helped a quite a few of my guy's get on their own doing just like myself. You must though give up boozing every night and smoking weed all the time that shit doesn't get you anywhere. I like to go out and trust me I played 3 nights of league pool before I left up north so I'm not just some boring fool. Just I enjoy fast cars, houses, traveling and my wife more then the bar and getting high all the time. And again we never received a single dollar from anyone besides what we made so don't think it's not achievable.
@Billy Bob Worked throughout college, graduated, got a job at 21, saved everything, bought the land at 22 (with help of a loan), kept saving and started building at 24.
@Krazy Kozelka's You hit the nail on the head. With hard work and patience this is achievable. Unfortunately a lot of people don't have that discipline so when they see me they just assume I'm not paying for it... If you watch the video it's pretty obvious who paid for this, everything was done on a tight budget and most of it is still incomplete. Congrats on your accomplishments thus far, thanks for sharing!
One thing to think about, I lived in a bunkhouse that was above the ranches garage. When starting tractors/vehicles in the morning that exhaust went right into the living area. Probably lost a couple months off my life living up there.
I saw your Tic Tok, and decided to check out your TH-cam channel. (Subscribed) I have to say I'm totally blown away by effort and planning you put into this build. I'm married with kids, so I can only daydream and admire what you have accomplished.
Well done. This was perfect timing as I am constructing a 40 x 80 slab on grade with floor heat. and a ductless A/C. Really like the open living space and brightness Has everything I need,
I bought an old bowling alley for a quarter of your build. I’m a retro guy. I love your building. My shop is 37 wide and 98 long w a upstairs. It was a 4 lane bowling alley in small town USA. Keep building folks
Bro just built every straight blue-collar / red neck guys dream house....... And he did it for about half of what a normal house cost... Bro im sold im definitely going to have to look into building something similar like this myself.
Damn. With me having dreams of starting a personal business doing restorations and other builds on classic cars and trucks, this would be absolutely perfect for me. Also 22 years old myself, so hell yeah brother!

we bought 18 years ago because it had 6 car carport between 2 houses, and 1-1/2 sheds.
When you turn the attic space into a master bedroom, how about adding a window looking into the garage?
Definitely something to consider, would technically need to be a fireproof window but probably doable
Not generally allowed under firecodes, it's an explosion/fire issue.

My house is very similar to yours and I am extremely satisfied with it. Been living in it around 8 years now with zero issues. One suggestion I have for you is to look into mini split AC and heat pump combo. I started off with window units and heat strips but electric bills were more expensive than I liked. I made the switch to mini splits and couldn’t be happier. They’re very efficient and quiet. Cut my electric bills in half. Very simple to install as well.
Awesome thanks for the tip!
Look into ductless systems. With that area it would be extremely cost effective.
I did the same in my garage. Mitsubishi 48k BTU unit outside and 3 head units inside. Works great and low cost to operate. It helps that I really insulated the garage well.
A lot of the better mini splits also heat with no issues down into the negative temps.
I'm a HVAC tech and the ductless systems are great. The Mitsubishi Hyperheat and Fujitsu Halcyon will heat 80% capacity down to -15 degrees.
Ladies and Gentlemen, 0:20, that is the face of patience, skill, hardworks, craftsmanship, determination and success.
That means a lot, thank you sir!
Popped up in my recommended and I must say I was very intrigued the whole time. A great project all around!
thanks for checking it out!
I would love this. My boyfriend and I are debating building something similar. He and I own 7 cars between us.
I would definitely suggest doing it! This was by far the cheapest way to build something with such a large footprint and clear spans in the garage.
Lucky boyfriend of yours. My wife at the time (ex now) would argue with me for months about garage. She only cares about fancy living space.
My house/garage is 50x150 I park my class A 36' motorhome inside and live in that. when I need more room in the shop, I can always move the house very easily.

ABSOLUTE MAD RESPECT to you in so many aspects my man!! You are LIVING your best life and I have no doubt that you will go very far in life! And the best of luck to you going forward for sure! I’ve been on TH-cam for many years and have subscribed to less than 10 channels, you sir are my 10th and I look forward to watching your progress...KEEP THAT POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE, TRUST THE PROCESS AND DEFINITELY KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!
That mean so much, I really appreciate the kind words and support! I promise I won't disappoint!
no ads, clear and concise, effecient and mature attitude about the building process. Enough to get a sub from me.
Appreciate it!
Awesome video! Thanks for the info! Great job.
Thanks for checking it out!

BRAVO ---- You're my hero. I wanted to build that house/garage in 1965. Because of--- "life" --- it took me 30 years but I finally ended up with something a little less than yours. You did good building what you wanted to start with. Now I'm 75 and almost too old to use my home machine shop. Your cost break down was excellent, much appreciated and spot on.
P.S. ---- good luck finding a woman who wants to live in a house like yours. (there are some around though.)
Thanks so much and congrats on making yours happen, even if it is a little later in life!
The ultimate bachelor pad!
The drainage may seem a bit much, but it is important to get that water away from the building.
You got that right! The excavators did a good job and I've had zero drainage issues.
We had a 30x40 building built and had to do the same thing. What sucks about it is the cost. You be surprised how projects like a pole barn will nickel and dime you to death.
@@JesusChrist-uu2te you got that right! That rainwater pit was like $6500
@@Kordare - Approximately what was the cost breakdown for that(materials, permits, labor, etc.)?
@eitoobmiz very cool, sounds like a fun project!
The video is excellent. Your build is amazing. You did some well thought out planning to make your dream a reality! And your planning included for future additions, expansions, and improvements. It's hard to get compliments from me, but, by golly!, I take my hat off to you many, many times! You are obviously smart, competent, very capable, and responsible. I'm 74 and can't give you any ANY advice except, maybe: "Don't EVER sell yourself short!!". I'm not jealous or envious of you at all! I'm just VERY happy FOR you!! From what I see, you deserve all the good that comes your way. I'm glad that you live in a country that allows a person like you to do what you are doing! I hope we can keep it that way!
Thanks for checking it out and I appreciate your feedback!
NOW THIS man knows his priorities and how to live
Thanks I'm trying my best 🙌
Yo i got recommend this vid, took some time to watch it...don't regret a single minute, this house is AMAZING for your age and a dream for a car enthusiats im definately subbing!!!!
I appreciate you checking it out!
I literally had a conversation with my friend the other day about how we would build a house around a garage. Looks like this man's already living the dream.
Trying my best, thanks for checking it out 🤘
@@Kordare All you need now are a couple of dogs.
@@livedeliciously maybe someday, right now I'm always on the move so it would be difficult to coordinate
Its funny I found this video. Got so excited I told everyone. I swear every person I know had already watched it. I'm 44 and it's time to finally get started on my own place before it's too late
Haha that's awesome and it's never too late, make it happen!
This is dang near close to what I’ve been wanting to build! Thanks for making this video it definitely gives me some insight! Keep up the videos.
I'm glad I could help, thanks for checking it out!
Bro this is so dope! You’re way ahead of the game for your age.
Thanks a lot! I feel like I haven't even started yet 🤘
Nice work dude. We are about to start our 40x100 shop with living quarters in the Spring!!
Thank you and good luck with your project!
How much is that costing you? Im thinking 120x80
I want to hit that magical triple digit footage mark too at least in length. I’d recommend putting bay doors on both ends if you can swing it. Easier to get vehicles in and out.
Nice. Love your layout!
Just discovered this channel as I'm looking to homestead while working on high end cars... Really incredible information!
Thanks a lot, good luck to you 🤘
This is what you can have when you don't make poor life decisions. Outstanding job!
Exactly! Thanks a lot!
Great build!
Great property!
Love how the house is part of the shop area.
I'm jealous, this is what every car guy dreams of.
Thanks for checking it out!
As a married man my first thought when you went inside was "that doesn't work". Switch the brain to a single guy and loved it. I wish I had taken the opportunity to do this when I was your age, having a father that was a builder would have made it a breeze and it would have fit my needs perfectly.
Thanks! It's just what I need right now with room to expand.
Rick, I had to do the same with my brain. Lol
I’m recently single so I’m doing this while I still can!!
I was shocked about the house part bro no jokes its nice
Thanks a lot 🤘🤘
I’ve wanted to build something similar to this for as long as I can remember. This has been really helpful and inspiring for me to start coming up with designs and researching mor win depth what I need to do. Love your videos man
Seriously man, I've been dreaming of one of these for over half my life! Love it!
Make it a reality! Thanks for checking it out 🙌
Let me start out with " Great Job"! One can tell you put a lot of time and energy into the design and layout of your project and it looks and functions well. Appears you chose a great group of sub-contractors who also had your best interests at heart and the finished project shows. I was a new home builder and remodeler for years and I caution you on others suggesting after the fact you should have done this or moved that knowing they mean well. Be happy with what you have and when the next project comes along and there will be another project in your future you will be all the wiser my friend. You have all the best reasons to be proud of what you have accomplished for your self and wish you nothing but peace and happiness. Keep up the good work!
I appreciate the comments and kind words! I'm happy with what I've accomplished and have learned so much along the way.
You’re living my dream. Exactly what I’ve always wanted
Make it a reality!
Wow that’s just amazing!!! You definitely have a good head on your shoulders young man your parents must be proud!!!
Thanks so much!!
I'm not his parent or a parent at all but I'm proud of him. imma bout to sell this house and do this. very very interesting. If I could get commercial/residential zoning that would be bad ass
I would say mini splits are the move. We use those around my parents house and it’s definitely worth it
Someone else suggested this, definitely will look into them👍
They are great, can heat/cool certain areas of the house when needed and you have redundancy with separate units.
@@Kordare remember they have a heat limit between 40 Deg F to 0 Deg F when heating depending on the unit. In other words you will need a separate heater when it's cold
@@OxAO thanks for the tip!
The new low temp ones actually kick out heat down to -22. Mine still heats fairly well at -13. Yes, some backup heat is needed, but not that often. I live in southern Minnesota.
Awesome video. Straight to the point. No nonsense. No BS. Love what ya built. Well thought out, simple, efficient. This is gonna help me a lot in building my own.
Thanks for checking it out and good luck with yours!
I can see this being the future of home building...
we can hope
I’m not sure why this came up on my recommended feed (I watch a lot of car vids) but great video of someone creating a place exactly (or near as much) as they want and need. I’m an architect and this would never be something for me - I’ve got a small historic house in the city with a garage that could barely hold a Mini and a 3’ driveway lol - but the functionality and design is exactly what it should be for your lifestyle needs. I love the three tall windows in the garage. It would be great to see you develop the outdoor area with a terrace or deck, maybe with some shading if needed as a space to hang out with your buds after a big day and take in the view when the weather is good.
Inspiring to see someone making it happen and living his own dream. You seem like a humble and level headed guy.
Peace!
That means a lot coming from an architect, and I really appreciate the respect of others wants/needs/styles! Not enough people have that attitude, thanks for the comments!
Trust me, I know how much budget drives a design. Everything is a bit of a compromise, the trick is getting as much of the elements that are most important to the program set in place and still getting most of the secondary basics taken care of with the potential to capture nearly every last bit as funds allow. Design and build for now and the future.
@@tpolerex7282 my thoughts exactly!
My man, I am 23 myself and looking for literally almost the same design as you! Probably not as huge of a garage but close. Thanks for the breakdown and full your, definitely will help with what I'm going against. I have my own land but just nervous on the upfront pricing and the whole process. So thanks for that 🙏❤
Glad I could help and good luck. Stay focused and patient!
Out in the countryside near New Iberia, Louisiana there seems to be a lot of these pole buildings made into houses. I love it!
Awesome! I've been happy with mine so far.
I'm VERY impressed that you did that at 24 years old, congradulation !!!
Thanks so much!
Im just wondering what job he scored. I just got out of college, land a good paying job, but now have all this debt to pay off before doing anything like this :'(
@@relajad0 I'm a mechanical engineer, just save everything and dont buy things you dont need! Stay focused and work 🤘
@@relajad0 My guess is that he did not go to college, that means NO debt. That kind of project is not done from the average college personne. No saying then can not. It's just not there profile...
@@Kordare that's awesome man! It makes me happy seeing other young guys my age succeed at life and really get/do what they want most!
Most important peace in that shop is the shitter 👍👍
😂😂
I laughed and thought about what pooping would be like in a room that big. Good video
@@johnd.5601 hahahahh thanks!
@@johnd.5601 I think a bit of shame, and a bit of freedom all in one lol
@@johnd.5601 How bad would it be if you stunk the whole garage/shop up.
I absolutely Love these Garage/Barn/Home combos.
Your home/shop is amazing! Definitely not something to have to downplay, way to go after what you want, and stay within your budget! It's perfect for your needs/wants and that's what matters the most! It's every mans dream and a few ladies also for sure! If a "she" doesn't like it, shes probably not the one anyways. Thanks for the tour of it and best of luck to you!
Thanks for checking it out and I appreciate the kind words!!
Absolutely spot on! Amazing having the forethought of pouring the floor at 6" so lift equipment can be placed anywhere. That is a great tip for your viewers! Awesome Job brother! Thanks
Appreciate the feedback and thanks for checking it out 🙌
There's Only one thing I noticed missing in that garage. A BEER Fridge!
What is the price breakdown for concrete?
I’ve been considering doing this, much smaller though, I’m thinking 30’x60x16.Turn 30x30 into a garage, leave it unfinished with polished concrete floors and a 30x30 living area and 30x15 loft. My thoughts on building this type of setup is build what you need, you can always make it nicer later.
You have built a perfect Man-cave at a very young age. Great achievement. You are certainly winning at life. Best luck for future adventures.
Thanks so much, I appreciate it!
Thank you for this video. I've watched tons of walk through videos of similar builds, but nothing with this much detail and insight, especially the breakdown of the cost. Very well done.
Thanks so much, I'm glad you liked it!
I’ve thought this for years. Wow , ya actually did it and it’s awesome. I’m not ruling this out yet. I love it.
Thanks a lot, make it happen!!
This is literally my dream 😂 only 14 but one day i will have it
Work hard and stay patient 🤘
same bro😭😂
Same
Larry Nichols: You will achieve your dream! If you are thinking this way already at 14, nothing can stop you. As choices and opportunities present themselves, choose the one that leads you toward your dream...not away from your dream!!
gcflower99 thank you as a 15 year old now i have a 1980 chevy c10 my old farm truck that i have been slowly putting money into and i am working on a ls swap for more reliable and little more power nothing insane but its mine
One of the best home/shop builds I've seen. Wish I would have went this route when I bought my first house when I was 26 12yrs ago.
Thanks a lot 🤘
BIG thanks for this video. This is close to my dream...and it's nice to see someone who has already done the same.
Thanks for checking it out and good luck to you with making yours a reality!
I wish I had been as smart and motivated as you are at that age, but I was too busy chasing girls, driving fast cars and having fun to care about building a nice house. You have done a great job of setting up your home and it will serve you well in the future.
Best of luck to you sir, you deserve it.
I really appreciate that, thank you!
Dude u just built my dream. When I go to build my shop and home I'll use this as a source of ideas
I'm glad I could help, good luck with yours!
Prenup. Prenup. Prenup.
Love the setup. Hoping to build the same.
I've purchased this project many times over post divorce (money down the drain).
Good to see a young man doing well.
Thanks and good luck with yours!
This is pretty much my dream home. I love how neat your shop and home is. You earned a sub and a like from me man!
I appreciate that, thank you 🤘
Imagine pooping and starring at your favorite car
😂😂
I saw "pooping".
And I was like you can see me right now.😶😯
Living in Alaska at one time you value a good view. To each his own beautiful view. Better than a magazine.
Oh man.. that's cool lol
lol emoji
Wow this is amazing! I was expecting double the price you showed in the cost breakdown. Even with a land number this is very affordable.
I thought I had my design squared away and then I watched this video. Now I am thinking about rethinking my plans. But more than likely the budget will win. Awesome job you did.
Thanks a lot! Good luck with yours!
Now that’s priorities lol shop bigger than house. Looks good
You know it, thanks!
Yes...work, get a quick meal, shower, and sleep. TV? Choose wisely.
Sick pad man! Popped up in my recommended but I’ll def stick around!
Thanks a lot!
I build pole building everyday and I love shed houses. Especially for car and truck guys/gals they are perfect! Awesome job but shouldve had me build it ;)
Haha thanks, means a lot coming from an experienced builder like yourself 🤘
Where are you located ?
@@crf50crazy New York
Im Dexur wish you were near Va. I’m looking at 20 acres now and plan to build something similar
7 or 8 years ago I sat down and sketched out something very similar to this, except I wanted to leave all the land around the house wooded (so I could sit on the front porch and watch birds/wildlife while I enjoyed my cigars). I told my old man about it during a visit and he kind of scoffed at the idea, then last year he built one himself (not wooded, but in the middle of 80 acres). I got remarried 1.5 years ago, to a city girl, so those dreams have gone up in smoke, but at least I can live vicariously through builds like yours... Nice work!
Thanks a lot! I am letting most of the land go back to woods so it will be similar to what you mentioned in a few years.
Duuuuuude that is the EXACT setup I have been looking for!!!
You know you're a GEARHEAD when...
Very nice!! I couldn't convince my wife to build a garage house but I did build a new garage with an 9000# auto lift installed!
Thank you and that's awesome, congrats on your garage!
@@Kordare you're welcome! Hope to see some car fix videos on that Auto lift you got!
@@BIGTONY2132001 I've already got a lot here on my channel!
As I'm sitting in my heated/A/C garage next to my lift I just finished a project on...Yep it's awesome
My wife and I are planning on buying land this year...our goal is to build a place very similar to this (likely just a smidge smaller). So this has been good context.
I'm glad I could help, good luck with your project!
I have watched your build video so many times. Hope you are still enjoying.
I am thank you! Looking to make some more improvements this winter.
everyone gangsta until this guy show his toilet from garage
He's old enough to have worked up good credit, I'm sure the bank payment book is still thick, but props to him.
@Billy Bob it's called hard work. I owned my first 130k house at 24 with only a 60k loan. Rehabbed it by 26 and sold for 200k and moved to Florida all while turning a wrench. I'm 34 now and building a 800k house and shop on the water here in Florida for half the cost because I own a construction company now. Work for it and don't let anyone hold you back. I worked 80 hour weeks at the shop and out of my own garage to afford what I wanted. Only regret was not putting money into the markets I'd pry be a millionaire but I did invest into myself. No college, barely passed High School because of myself being ADD and grew up with abusive parents. I did find an amazing wife that works just as hard plus we didn't have kids till after being married for 6 years which I made sure of. Ever want advice I've helped a quite a few of my guy's get on their own doing just like myself. You must though give up boozing every night and smoking weed all the time that shit doesn't get you anywhere. I like to go out and trust me I played 3 nights of league pool before I left up north so I'm not just some boring fool. Just I enjoy fast cars, houses, traveling and my wife more then the bar and getting high all the time. And again we never received a single dollar from anyone besides what we made so don't think it's not achievable.
@Billy Bob Worked throughout college, graduated, got a job at 21, saved everything, bought the land at 22 (with help of a loan), kept saving and started building at 24.
@Krazy Kozelka's You hit the nail on the head. With hard work and patience this is achievable. Unfortunately a lot of people don't have that discipline so when they see me they just assume I'm not paying for it... If you watch the video it's pretty obvious who paid for this, everything was done on a tight budget and most of it is still incomplete. Congrats on your accomplishments thus far, thanks for sharing!
@Billy Bob yup I agree
This is also my dream, but I want the house on the top. Basically a huge rancher with a deck on top of the garage
One thing to think about, I lived in a bunkhouse that was above the ranches garage. When starting tractors/vehicles in the morning that exhaust went right into the living area. Probably lost a couple months off my life living up there.
See the Full Build of the house here: th-cam.com/video/2VkkQju_Al8/w-d-xo.html&
Kordare , don't look now , but you have a garage attached to you house , and no square footage was harmed in the making of this garage
@@jimthomas777 true
Did you pay cash or finance? Thats what im curious about
@@CMoreno0093 Saved a lot for large down payment and financed the rest.
Kordare how did you finance? Like company type of loan?! I’ve heard these loans are high interest rates because of no physical collateral
I saw your Tic Tok, and decided to check out your TH-cam channel. (Subscribed)
I have to say I'm totally blown away by effort and planning you put into this build.
I'm married with kids, so I can only daydream and admire what you have accomplished.
Dude you are so on track ! Very impressive place ! Congratulations to you and all your future plans ! 🇺🇸👍🏻
Thanks so much 🙌🙌
My dream home. Glad you got started early. Awesome
Well done. This was perfect timing as I am constructing a 40 x 80 slab on grade with floor heat. and a ductless A/C. Really like the open living space and brightness Has everything I need,
Thanks a lot and good luck with yours!
I bought an old bowling alley for a quarter of your build. I’m a retro guy. I love your building. My shop is 37 wide and 98 long w a upstairs. It was a 4 lane bowling alley in small town USA. Keep building folks
Awesome good luck with it 👍
this is every man's dream home
And some women's!! 😀
That setup is an absolute dream! I just might have to copy this! LOL!
Be my guest! Hah
Bro just built every straight blue-collar / red neck guys dream house....... And he did it for about half of what a normal house cost... Bro im sold im definitely going to have to look into building something similar like this myself.
Damn. With me having dreams of starting a personal business doing restorations and other builds on classic cars and trucks, this would be absolutely perfect for me. Also 22 years old myself, so hell yeah brother!
Make it happen man! Keep working hard and stay patient!
