- Today on Modern Builds I'm converting the old barn on my new Joshua Tree property into my new DIY / WOODWORKING Workshop!! In this episode I pour a new concrete slab, fix structural problems, add polycarbonate clerestory / transom windows, insulate EVERYTHING, and lined the interior of the garage with plywood. This is an exciting undertaking and episode 2 will be out soon!

MODERN BUILDS
Hi, My name is Mike Montgomery and I'm a MAKER; a designer, builder, and full-time content creator. Accessibility is my focus with Modern Builds, not simply accessibility of designs, but accessibility in materials, information, and projects themselves. I've focused on creating furniture and DIY projects that are simple enough that any beginner maker can accomplish, yet interesting enough that any expert might be inspired. Building and making is becoming less and less of an exclusive hobby and profession. My goal is to reduce that separation even further. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
LOL the magic of water power LOL! Fixed the wall right up haha
Truly informative! I needed a reference that highlighted basic wood frame construction methods & techniques where th-cam.com/users/postUgkxYGamVaHfdHiPlAQaLa7zkwR02OKpGYDU were best. I am pleased with the depth and clarity of Ryan’s Shed Plans. It was really convenient to capture!
When handing fiberglass insulation to remove itching skin take distilled vinegar and rub it on your skin. This Dilutes the fiberglass and removes the itch. Then you can wash yourself with soap and water.
In cold water obvi. Shrinks your pores
Q
Cool space, love the polycarbonate panels and so much bigger without the overhead loft space! I never thought to cut insulation in half and then add back to a full piece! Now I won't be wasting insulation. I got done 15" wide ceiling insulation that I'm removing and now will be installing it in garage walls that are 24" wide. I'm an arm chair wood worker without a place to wood work. Being a truck driver is also hard to bring a wood worker too. I'll be looking forward to part 2!
MIKE MIKE MIKE!!!! what day is it??? Dude i have been watching your vids for years, this is hands down the best thing that you have ever made. And that is true for many reasons, we will only go into a few of them. 1. you are going to make so much cool SHITUFF in it, that its baller! 2. you made on the cheep, you reused the whole structure, AND!!!! reclaimed the beautyness that is the Tree! and 3. you made it simple. You took and old shed and made it new, and any person with limited skills and a little effort could made something like this happen. AMAZING! love it keep killing it!
The trim was 100% the right choice. Aesthetically and literally pulls the whole place together, love it
Agree! 👍

I have been watching Scott Brown for a while now and his projects from a year ago with the plywood wear amazing, I'm sooo happy you shouted him out.
Great work.
Put some solar panels on the roof.
Charge all your batteries and possibly power your 110 plugs with a bypass.

could be cool!
Very impressed with the transformation, even just at this concrete and plywood stage. Always nice to have a bro to help, too. :) Looking forward to watching the rest of these.
I’m so glad you did the finish trim. It just cleaned up all your hard work you put into the shed. Can’t wait to see the next steps in the project. Karen Florida
I hate it, I hate it!!! Something this big and this nice just makes me GREEN with envy. I don't have a big enough yard for anything that size, but sure wish I did after seeing this great project. You did good work. I'm proud of you.
Wow! Already such a big difference
Unless the exterior is completely waterproof, which I doubt it is by the condition of it. That interior is going to trap moisture. You need to waterproof and put siding on the exterior or that insulation is going to get wet and moldy.
just about to say the same thing
Agree
Agreed.
You’re probably right but last I checked there’s no moisture in Joshua tree. The humidity is like minus 100%.
@@DudeSawdust but things happen, he should still do it just in case. Better safe than sorry!
What an awesome upgrade! I love how much fun you have while working so hard. Beautiful results; you deserve to be really proud!
I'm not sure if you read every comment, but I wanted to say, you filmed/showed all the best parts and I love what you've done here. Please show more of this project in the future so I can live vicariously through you.
Will do!! Thanks a lot!
Like.. SO great, so inspiring! i love the natural plywood walls and the windows were SUCH a nice touch. Love it
Nice shout out to Scott, he is awesome. I would have liked to see you paint the studs like Scott to get the negative detail between the sheets.
Amazing work. For a guy who specializes in gorgeous and detailed furniture, that was a great job. Wetting that sheet was da bomb.
The inside transformation was great, but I was really impressed at how just wetting that sheet of plywood caused it to almost go back flat and were it was supposed to be!
Innit! I did not think that was gonna work, and am so glad to be proven wrong. What a serendipitous little life hack.
Looking good, that was a big improvement. It is a "shed" and you are in the desert but the batt insulation isn't meant to be directly against the roof sheathing. It can create mold and rot the roof sheathing. When you replace the roofing material, pull the sheathing off and add a layer of rigid foam insulation in each bay on top of the batt insulation
The Hot Shot! Dale is the man! been waiting for this to pay off since hearing about It on the podcast
Mike, I love your videos so much. Please keep up the excellent work. SO many of us enjoy and appreciate them
I know nothing about anything you post, but your videos are pure therapy. So calming to watch it all come together haha
I'll take it! Glad you enjoy :)
Wow. Such a great place now! Love the light coming in.
Cool can’t wait to see more! I like the Reno style direction your channel has taken! I’ve been a subscriber for a long time but I’ve really became a fan lately!
Never thought I'd see a successful TH-camr in my home town.
So satisfying! Loved adding the trim... just cleans it up so nicely
Nice job Mike! Definitely a huge improvement and I'm pumped to see you having a workshop to build out of.
Awesome video man. Great work. I did a mixture of drywall and insulation for 3 years. I would recommend for future insulation work, use a snap blade knife. Much easier to cut through the batts and just treat those whole blades as a one utility blade rather than snapping them off. Also yeah, would of been nice to use something thicker like R19 for those walls but o well, at point you'd be condensing the batts so much it'd defeat their purpose.
Trim was definitely worth it! Nice space now. Lookin forward for the next one. Great series all round. Really enjoying the videos.
That is going to be a really nice shop! Good for you! Can't wait to see the next episode.
Would make a nice tiny home
it would!!
It really WOOD
Thats exactly what I thought
And that’s exactly why I’m watching the video, really thinking into building it as a cabin on a land. Or sort of 😅
Mike The shed is smiling and saying thank you to you and Bret for bringing it back to life.
Self leveling concrete is so simple and convenient to use! I wish more people would feel like they can use it to smooth out garage, bathroom, or entry floors.
good job, and the light came in the shed !!!
What a pleasant surprise to see a new video-and the content is so refreshing. I think it’s really cool it wasn’t just bulldozed and rebuilt. Really cool techniques (especially the wonder-sponge plywood ❤️). Great job as always.
Never stop what you are doing. Love it / Sweden.
Nicely Done Mike. Looking forward to the rest of the build.
Awesome video Mike! Watching the exterior plywood re-expand into place was really cool too watch.
I was very excited to see this shop building series. Looking very well so far Mike. Can't wait to see next videos. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep Making. God Bless.
Thanks a ton Jared!
That is a huge improvement. I’ve wanted to tidy up my garage wall that are bare and now I have the idea how to tackle the task.
It looks like a completely new shed ... Crazy transformation!
You are awesome Mike. I love how you dont try to hide your bad decisions and instead you find a way to fix it.
Thanks a ton!!
Structural braving from all the ply. Good stuff.
Love the work Mike. Keep it up man!
Okay but honestly, you had so many tips that had me like, awed at how genius they were. Super pro, for sure! 😉
Good job! I was always told "you can't polish a turd" But you proved me wrong. Thanks for posting.
This looks great. I wonder how it would look/feel if you were able to do the window around the entire workshop--not just the at one side. This is going to be awesome when it's all done
Damn that was a helluva lot of work. Good job guys! 💕👍
The trim made it complete! Amazing transformation!
Wow! That's totally awesome!
It's looking great! So much more open and enjoyable, it was such a cave.
Looks incredible. The trim was the cherry on top, a good choice.
thanks Trevor!
What you do is amazing! I can never get enough of your videos! So excited to see what's to come!
Nice touch pulling panels flush by screwing through the trim. That's a trick you learn with experience.
Beautiful work and very inspiring! Thanks
Nice work. I would be worried about water penetration into the insulation though
That would require it to rain in southern California
Cool transformation. The windows really make it a much nicer space.
Lots of spaces for your future builds.... Bravo!
Love the shout out to SBC! Nice job
I like the 1x2 trim makes it look finished good job GBU later
Looks so great!!!
Killing it! That extra ceiling space made a huge difference. Loving this progress so far looking forward to the next one!
Thanks a ton!! 🤙🏼
@@ModernBuilds 🤘🏼
Wow mr builds, it looks great! I also like the little tips you give.
Man this was great! One of my favorites!
Awesome job. Watching your videos really makes me want to get on the tools myself.
Mike, the work shop looks great! Fantastic job!
thanks!! 😁
I was just typing looks like Frank Howarth built a budget shed...damn dude. Looks nice
haha! basically. Thanks man
😂😂😂
I love it! I've been following along on Instagram and I love seeing the whole project. Can't wait for Ep. 2!
The plywood walls are awesome. Might do this to my future workshop
Ugh I hate that this episode ended cause now I have to wait for another one 😭
samee 😖😖
Episode 2 coming SOON!
As a concrete guy ... i’mma go ahead and say “not a bad first time concrete job there ... not great ... but good is good enough ... meh it’ll do. Superb restoration guys. Genuinely fun job. I’d’ve weather proofed that exterior though...budget allowing.
Awesome. I love working with wood and diy stuff
Love it. I work from a 12x16 shed with a 12’ tall wall to a 10’ short wall.... feels quite large when working in it. And 100% under the 200sqft guidelines of my local city ordinances. ;)
Brett & Mike making the dream work.
Boom!
Huge difference! Great tips throughout the whole video!!
Protip for cutting insulation in 1-2 passes. Press a 2x4 across the insulation and cut along the edge. The board will flatten the insulation making it easier to cut without the blade pulling it apart.
I was taught when I was an apprentice plumber to take dust from the concrete after you got it filled in and you're ready to smooth it out and spread it over the wet concrete to give it a more even smooth finish.
Nicely done! Great work on the extra little effort!
Nice job! Looking forward to the other posts.
Nice work shed!!
hurmmm always waiting for your vids. just to see you...and the work ofcoz. huhuh
I am in love with all of Mikes recent videos
yay!
looks amazing
Great work can't wait for part two.
looking forward for the next episode!
Looks Good. Keep up the good work.
This is a nice budget build for sure!
Finally, was waiting for a long time!
same here!! episode 2 coming next week!
@@ModernBuilds waiting for that one❤️
Great work man!
This shed is DOPE! You're killing it!
Like a 1/5th version of Frank Howarth's workshop!
Honestly wrote this before the end! Great minds think alike.....!!!
