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. :)
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.
Good roofers who properly used the safety harnesses, very good to see people doing things right. I look forward to hearing your answer on why you didn't use a single line and avoid all the glue joints. I also look forward to your video on the profit from your TH-cam videos and the 3D printer farm you have.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
Not sure where you live but I see a couple big issues with your gas line trench!!! 1- it’s not deep enough to prevent your waterline from freezing! 2- the contractor should be installing a trace line with that gas line 3- the gas line should have a layer of gravel over it with a yellow gas line below tape approx 12” above the line.
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.
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
@@13fullnelsonyeah… even in the chapters he just calls them delays. Nothing is shut down, and it seems like it was because he was waiting on inspections to get done, otherwise he doesnt say the snow actually stopped work
You might want to be having a conversation with the HOA. I think she might have got the point across to the contractors, if you slack off when working here on this job you're going to end up like the last guy who's sitting in the corner out front of the house 😥😳🫣

Shop greatness is close !

It will all be worth it when it's finished.

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!
The shop build is looking pretty sweet!!

Oh I totally agree, I'm always trying to be overly communicative about that because I can imagine it's a nightmare for most contractors

It's coming along man. Looking good. Can't wait to see the pool details too.

You will never regret matching the house!
Just installed one of your collectors on a Bosch 10” miter saw yesterday, so I guess this is my reward. 👍🏻
It's coming along nicely! I have enjoyed watching the progress made.

I should have clarified, this is not my main water line, it's the pool fill line from our sprinkler system
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.
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)
Your shop is looking great!!
I’m thinking there could be a place for you on This Old House 🤔😀
I hope you have your shovel ready for another 2-3+ inches of snow
Shop Greatness. Swimming Greatness. This place is gonna have it all!
4:05 that’s some pretty intense eye contact
Great video
Did you give any thoughts to just using PEX for the water line or did you already have the PVC? Shop is looking fantastic
So much fun!
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.
This is going to be one of the better looking shops with great outside therapy if the wood working drags you down. Bootiful.
Looks awesome dude!
Wow, that is a heck of a project. It looks good, though.
I live just south of ya, Snowmageddon was not good for us. We got close to 16” total with another 3-6" coming today.
Who makes the camo hoodie?! Shop is looking good so far!

diamond piers are where its at for deck footings.
I wondered if I had missed some updates in this series!

It's actually deeper than that, and this is a fill line for the pool, not a main water line
why pvc and not pex?
whe ceder if you are painting it?
using the pool for water cooling for the shop?
Ya gotta love Ohio weather!
Plus good old Greene co. They’re no fun.
The title of "This new shop is going to kill me" implied that there was a gas leak or something. Misleading, but glad there isn't, I guess.
Why wood and not Hardiplank?
He said he wanted to match the house.
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
He did a video on it a while back.
@ADBBuild ...I'll search for it...
I'd pull back on the "woe is me" stuff.
that's code for a water line? I'm assuming you meant feed? good luck with that. if its a drain then I understand.
Correct, just water supply for filling the pool, not the potable water to the shop
Isn't that Wife Home Owners Association or WHOA?
Am I the only person that is curious on why you are painting cedar? Isn't the point for the natural look that has weather resistance?
so why did you use PVC pipe for water line is that a requirement
Is that your pirate flag?
"Stone mason"? They are glorified tiles...
First one, I love your videos 💗💗💗💗
Second one
clickbait thumbnail, wtf?
How so? Genuinely interested
@@ShopNationI just watched the whole video and not once heard a mention of a shut down?
@@bakerfx4968 did you see the foot of snow?
