In Germany, they would first have had to set up scaffolding to cover the roof. That’s the big difference between the USA and Germany. In the USA, things get done, and progress is made. I’m always amazed at the energy with which you realize your projects. In August 2024, I was in Texas with my son, and we visited a TH-camr named “Cutting It Close.” He showed us his entire company. The friendliness of Americans is absolutely incredible to me. If I ever travel to the USA again, I would love to visit you as well.
Wow! Been following since the garage floor in Pearland and all your videos are inspirational, informative and just great. Thanks for sharing all your projects. And it was 65 and sunny today in Katy.
1st time comment.Following you for seems like 2 plus years. How is just now I find out you're in Ohio, lol. Shop looks great by the way. I too have been on the shop building journey for 2 years working full-time job with overtime has made a slow journey building and finishing my shop here in Ohio. Keep up the good work love your channel. I check in on it regularly. My ceiling is almost done and excited to start dust collection.
I’m not a DIYer but love your videos. Your transparent honesty and demeanor, drew me in. I love how you are frank, while being playful. I think the style, pace and tone of your videos are the best. Please keep making such enjoyable content.
I'm on year 6 of building my new shop, so it was funny to hear that you were frustrated after a few months. That's because I'm doing every bit of all of every bit of all work except the foundation, and it's a bigger shop, but still, it'd be nice to be done. I like the stone work on yours, that looks really nice! It's coming along, hang in there.
I hope by seeing what is happening in California just now and your building is predominantly wood you are fitting a fire suppressant system, especially in a wooded area. Easy to fit at this stage
You are doing very well! Our the last few monthsI was waiting for 'entertainment '! I admire your zeal. I watch all your post. I learn from you and your styl of presentation . I see you got the perfect team powering on like they care about work & you as client. I'm proud of you! God bless.
Anyone know how well the PVC glue holds up to 15 degree temps? Im wondering if it will freeze, shrink, and crack and get a leak in the pipe couplers when it is 15 degrees outside.
As somebody that works in the trades(remodeling) sometimes you have to juggle things around nothing ever goes according to plan only on rare occasions, but we always seem to manage on schedule just sometimes we have to split things around so I feel your pain, but it will all work out in the end, keep your chin up.
Boy, it's looking fantastic! I see the pool is half full and all ice. I'm really looking forward to the interior finishing! Take care and don't work too hard out there.
@8:47, you got the "evil eye" lol. Beautiful project. Nice to see it all coming together! Seems like the water and gas would have been easier to take from the back of the house. Looks like "you took the long way home", but I'm certain there was a reason....
The guy laying the brick with the Ohio St. hoodie rocks ..go OSU. Thanks for the update I was wondering what was taking so long ,the work shop looks awesome
These crews you have had on this build have been really amazing. The entire build from footers to where you’re up to in this video has been amazing to watch. To be honest (this is from my point of view) the natural look of the cedar has a really nice look especially when it’s weathered and settled, because I’ve always loved the natural tones of the wood. However this is your shop so whatever you decide on is what you want and the aesthetic you and your HOA 😊 will allow 😊.
This is beyond AWESOME .......... We can't wait to see the final product, you don't do anything half way. I was thinking you should leave the natural cedar finish just as you commented on the HOA (better half) wanting the same look as the house. You can't loose, either way, both would look great. Keep up the Shop Greatness!!
My shop took almost 11 months to pass the insulation inspection, mainly because of budget and my day job so I get delays. I passed that so now it's final finishing and hopefully be done by spring. No where near as fancy, mine's a 20x29ft box and very much a budget build but when it's done, it's my shop and I'm looking forward to many years of puttering in there. :)
Aaah, yes, I remember taking a few sheets of OSB plywood off the stack to close off the garage from the kitchen in the house we were having built. It was 8F outside with 12 mph winds. Had to lay under layment for the plastic flooring. That got it warm enough to cut and nail 4 rooms of flooring. Just think of the grandad stories you'll be able to tell.
I agree with a previous comment, you should have used PEX for your main water line, especially in a climate where it freezes. Also in future projects to keep the mud down on the boots of the workers invest in a few bales of hay and spread it around the work area, when the job is does the hay just becomes compose in the soil.
@@ShopNation just saying pvc isn't such a good choice for burying when you have PEX. When Texas froze 3 years ago, the only pipe I had bust was a PVC pipe buried in the ground, the pex pipe that was exposed to the air froze but did not bust.
Thanks for another quality video. Not sure if you will know the answer, but would you be willing to share the paint and trim colors of your home? I love them!
My 30' x 40' matches my house, we did only brick 4' up to cut down on the cost. The roof pitch matches as well. I finished the inside myself and had to paint the exterior, all the rest of the exterior I hired out.
What are your thoughts😂 regarding Bambu Labs new “security” software updates, considering you have a LARGE number of their products in your print farm? It sounds scary and unnecessarily intrusive for average end users. I don’t yet own a 3-D printer but have been excitedly planning a purchase of a P1 for my personal work/wood shop. If Bambu is going to ‘imprison’ me in their system with no way to exercise my right of choice I’ll have to hold off and consider other options.
Travis, you should consider putting a window or two in the gable end that faces the pool. It would really break up the large blank area of siding, and provide some light inside. Even if you didnt use the windows for light inside, put some blinds or shutters on the inside to give the look.
Good job! Battling the elements and delays is just part of projects like this. About to build a shop myself for my woodworking business because I’m out growing mine.
I’ve used Permacolumns on a DIy project - deck, also in Ohio. Very easy, saves the trouble of pouring cylindrical footings and mixing concrete. If I ever DIY’d a pole barn I’d use those and square up a perimeter frame first, get all of the level, square, and backfilled, and then pour the slab in the perimeter frame. I’d imagine it’d save a ton of cost and is within the capability of the average DIY’er, with the added benefit of not having any wood sub-grade.
Great series. It would be interesting to talk to your contractor and get his honest opinion regarding how much homeowner involvement, you wanting to do work yourself set the project back. Having worked in the trades for 20 years we dreaded homeowners wanting to do work themselves, sure they saved a buck or two, but cost us and them time.
@@ShopNation We in the trenches trying to deliver these services salute you for your efforts. Many clients have no sweet clue what to communicate or what to talk *about*. I'm sure your contractor appreciates communicating with an organized mind. Especially one who understands how delays compound.
@@jboyd85communication is definitely the key. If you want to save money by doing some things yourself that’s gotta be communicated and also the timeframe for those works need to be communicated.
The key is to find the right contractor. As a retired trim carpenter and furniture builder, I always do the trim (windows/doors/walls/etc.) on my projects. Luckily these mostly come at the end, so my regular contractor works with me to schedule the job so that I never slow him down. And he frankly admitted he hated doing the trim/detail work, so. It worked out for both of us.
Get the electrical wrapped up so you have light and heat inside the shop? Then go ape on insulation and wall paneling. Or do I have the order of operations backwards?
For future 'curvy" water lines; If you can't use pex, instead of one 45 in the curve, use two with a shorter pipe in between to reduce the tension of the joint. Those pipes I saw going into the 45 have some substantial bend going into the 45. Yes, it's one more connection but if glued well and there is no tension on the joint, mucho bettero chance of not leaking. Just an observation from a dude who has run extra water lines through the yard of each house...wife wants water somewhere, you gotta do it.
Check out helical piles before you commit to a foundation system for your deck. Seems like the only downside to them is finding someone locally that can do them.
Consider rockwool over batt insulation. Moisture/mold insect & fire resistant. Plus filming and working in the shop will be able to notice the huge noise reduction.
You should of just used a single piece of PEX for the water line. That's a lot of joints in the ground they will fail eventually with all the tree roots and earth shifting around... Also, that doesn't seem very deep, I'd also be worried about it freezing
Used PEX for the first time after using PVC for the last 20+ years of home projects, I was blown away. It's so much easier to work with. Completely agree with you on removing failure points, but beyond that it's just so much easier and he could have followed the gas line without the pressure and weight of the earth creating more pressure points in the overlap of the gas lines.
When your YT channels and your print farm business takes off you throw that money at your home and make more money on the videos of that. Love the shed and workshop.
"It'll be fun they said!" Welcome to type-2 fun :) - Miserable when you're doing it, but you'll look back happily. As opposed to type-3 fun, which sucks now, and will still suck later :D
Im not expert on PVC water lines buried in the ground like that, but wouldn't you want to wrap the PVC in some sort of insulating layer so the water inside doesn't freeze in winter when the snow comes down? Only being about 1' down from the top of the dirt would mean a lot of cold will make its way down.
@ I listened and I heard that it needs to match the house. My point is that since it’s painted, does it matter if it’s cedar, which has much more upkeep and maintenance and is sometimes more expensive? Therefore, why not use another siding material? Try critical thinking before you yell at strangers on the internet.
You guys ever fix the 10" miter dust collector? Mine broke immediately & it was a nightmare to get most of my money back from your outfit. I saw on other websites that i wasn’t alone...just curious

Why did you use PVC for the water line with a ton of glued joints instead of a single continuous line of poly?
Anyone know how well the PVC glue holds up to 15 degree temps? Im wondering if it will freeze, shrink, and crack and get a leak in the pipe couplers when it is 15 degrees outside.
@@LordSalissall weather glue for pressure (green pvc glue) can hold joints under operating pressure at temperatures as low as -15°F (-26°C)

why the double flashing/drip edge on the first row of cedar? one just above the top stop /border stone and then again above the first siding board?

Originally from Indiana, I miss the Midwest, including the winter. Looks amazing where you’re at.
I’m ready for part 7. Lol
The shop build is looking pretty sweet!!
Aaah, yes, I remember taking a few sheets of OSB plywood off the stack to close off the garage from the kitchen in the house we were having built. It was 8F outside with 12 mph winds.

I should have clarified, this is not my main water line, it's the pool fill line from our sprinkler system
@@ShopNation just saying pvc isn't such a good choice for burying when you have PEX. When Texas froze 3 years ago, the only pipe I had bust was a PVC pipe buried in the ground, the pex pipe that was exposed to the air froze but did not bust.

Good looking shop! It’s all coming together. Just curious if there is any updates on the Print Farm Academy? Thanks!
Thanks for another quality video. Not sure if you will know the answer, but would you be willing to share the paint and trim colors of your home? I love them!
Ready for today's snow? Dunno about your area, but over here in Akron area we are supposed to be getting more to go along with the cold!
I live just south of ya, Snowmageddon was not good for us. We got close to 16” total with another 3-6" coming today.
fellow Ohioan here, but from north east Ohio. love the content.
Looks great 😎
The siding looks awesome

Just installed one of your collectors on a Bosch 10” miter saw yesterday, so I guess this is my reward. 👍🏻
Got more snow than some of us up here in Canada, been a warm winter. Keep trucking bud
Your shop is looking great!!
It's coming along man. Looking good. Can't wait to see the pool details too.
Travis, you should consider putting a window or two in the gable end that faces the pool. It would really break up the large blank area of siding, and provide some light inside. Even if you didnt use the windows for light inside, put some blinds or shutters on the inside to give the look.

Yep, we got about the same snow you did here is southern Indiana. Maybe a little more?
Hang in there. Doing great.
What is that white strip that runs along the bottom row of cedar siding all the way around the exterior?

Having worked in the trades for 20 years we dreaded homeowners wanting to do work themselves, sure they saved a buck or two, but cost us and them time.

You will never regret matching the house!
Did you give any thoughts to just using PEX for the water line or did you already have the PVC? Shop is looking fantastic
This is going to be one of the better looking shops with great outside therapy if the wood working drags you down. Bootiful.
That is going to be awesome.
So much fun!
The place is looking pretty snazzy. You should look into screw piles for deck posts.

Wow, that is a heck of a project. It looks good, though.
It's coming along nicely! I have enjoyed watching the progress made.
diamond piers are where its at for deck footings.
Well I think it looks awesome. Shop Greatness!
I hope you have your shovel ready for another 2-3+ inches of snow
You didn't build in an air gap with battens behind the siding? Isn't that code in cold climates?

It's actually deeper than that, and this is a fill line for the pool, not a main water line
Yeah, very shallow depth on the water line. I'm sure the frost line is very low in Ohio in the winter.
Out of curiosity, why cedar siding if it’s just going to be painted? Why not hardie board or the like?
