Your father in law is a legend! I can't even get mine to drive an 1.5 hours for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Easter, to see his daughter and 4 grand kids. Lucky to have that kind of support! And, amazing progress!
Sorry to hear about your FIL (and the kids’ lost time with their grandparent), but good call outs there. Neil is definitely a good FIL role model! Thanks for the kind words!
Hopefully he changes and will come and see his grandkids. Sorry to hear bout that. Can he not drive well, is that maybe perhaps why he didn’t want to drive?
We built a 3 car garage for the acreage that we live on. The intent was that the third bay would act as a shop space. It does have tools and a workbench under all of the family's recreational gear. I'm enjoying being a dad that can fix things. When the kids are grown I'll have a shop to spend my golden years in. Life is good when you keep priorities straight.
Seconding keeping priorities straight! Kids have to come first, even if it means the workshop becomes a big toy storage space for 18 years, like you say… 😆 Best of luck getting some shop time in in the meantime!
Thank you, agreed on the FIL. Could always use more floor space but in this case I think it’s probably a good balance; can’t be a hoarder but should be plenty once I get things organized better and get the scrap wood pile down!
Most people don't realize it, but closed-cell spray foam is a polyurethane glue that expands to a foam because of a catalytic reaction. The import point is that it's glue, it's hard, and as a result it adds considerable racking and shear strength to the walls. Not to mention being water and mold proof.
@@DieselRamcharger Really? The foam is a GLUE. It sticks to the inside of the sheathing and the framing members. How is water going to penetrate behind the sheathing into the wall cavity if the foam adheres to every surface? But let's just suppose that water got behind the foam, so what? As long as the water can dry outward then there's no problem. Secondly, are you saying that since there's this remote possibility that no one should use spray foam? I suppose you'd rather someone use conventional insulation where any leak would not only get behind the sheathing, but saturate the insulation and drywall as well. And if that's not what you're saying then what is the f-ing point of your comment?
@@juliancate7089 you have obviously never installed foam. You dont undestand the differences in sprayable foam. And you certainly do not understand they DO NOT SEAL PENETRATIONS. Go do some real research other than sales lit. Spray Foam DOES NOT FIX LEAKS! Especially roof leaks. It just hides them and makes the origin nearly impossible to locate. This has been tested many many times. Actually tested. By actual people. Doing actual work. Unlike yourself who just offers supposition online.
11:50 All white LEDs are basically blue, using a layer of phosphorus that turn that blue light into a wider color spectrum. However, night bugs use the moonlight for navigation by keeping the moon in the same spot in their eyes. That's why the cooler LED lights attract so many bugs, it's also affecting the insect population, by tricking them into flying around the lamp, not giving them a chance to procreate near water bodies. Here in Czech Republic the Ministry of the Environment released a lighting guide that heavily suggests using downward facing lights with PC Amber LEDs (Phosphor Converted), not just "2700K", as a replacement for the previously used sodium lamps. Both meant to minimize light pollution for humans and animals alike.
Minus 100 points for sparing the invasive insect. Wonderful rebuild though. Always appreciate seeing people take on these kinds of tasks instead of letting a building rot away.
Thank you!!! I think back to how we all started in the same mud pit and can’t help it sometimes. Just nature. But you’re not wrong on the invasives. Tough situation. Take care!
I’m happy to know someone has a kick ass FIL like I do. Rick is a guy who’s had a crazy fascinating life that I enjoy hanging out with. Shout out to all the cool FIL out there making life easier for us extra sons
Looking like a nice place. Looking forward to more on your progress and projects! We don't rescue Stink Bugs out here. No catch and release, as they'll just tell their buddies we are a soft touch! They get into everything and as the name implies "stink" when you smash them. So, we gather them in a lidded cup and into the freezer. Next day, released to feed some birds hopefully.
Thanks as always! Makes sense on your stink bug management policy. I figure my bug rescues are more likely to be bird feeding operations as well. I don’t spend too much time on the stink or Boxelder bugs in the shed at least; figure there’s so many of them, as long as they’re not destroying something, fine, just stay out of the way please. Hornets I stomp on because can’t have them stinging people. Flies spread disease, are irritating, and leave mess around so they get vacuumed. Critical part of the circle of life, freezers and vacuums… 🤣 Take care!
Great video, I subscribed and I’ll be watching more of your videos. Just an idea, I covered a section of one wall with 1/2 inch 5 ply plywood and that section is my hardware store area. Shovel, rakes, broom, garden hoses, 2 step ladders, extension ladder, mail, foldable saw horses. Lawn edger, fire poker, etc. shelves above for things I might need some day. Remember to keep having fun.
This video randomly popped up on my feed. Was an enjoyable watch, very well edited and you have a great voice for commentary. You and your FIL seem like great blokes!
Thank you very much as always! I still feel likewise about your music. Every time I start to look tracks for a matching song I’m like “the range and quality here is NUTS.”
Thank you as always as well! Yeah, so awesome to be able to hop out there and not have to wait for it to heat up, cool down, etc… Take care and continued good luck during the snow season!
This is fantastic! Exactly the video I was looking for. We have a one car garage that is poor repair that is used for storage and workshop space, it's rickety and not weather proof arghhh but a full garage replacement isn't in our budget for many years to come 🙃 you showed me how to repair what we have to tide us over. Thanks 🙌🩷 (from New Zealand)
I really loved this video. I’m getting ready to do something almost identical to this so I’ll be watching your video a few times and taking a few notes lol
Thanks for the video just spent the last year renovating the two car garage in my new home, not quite as big but all the same projects pretty much. Love it, wish I documented mine more.
Thanks for the kind words! Cool to hear on the garage, awesome to be done with it I’m sure. And the documentation is funny. It’s a lot of work to record it during the project, but it is nuts to get to go back and see it all. Easy to forget how much work it was!
I dont know if you replaced your outside lighting yet but what I did was buy replacement globes and sprayed them with yellow tint. Takes me about 20 minutes to change them in the spring/fall when the bugs are bad and I still have the nice color for most of the year, and it was way cheaper than replacement fixtures
Nice work, we have two outbuildings on the property. One has half of the floor concreted and sagging corners. Think I will need to fix the posts first then eventually pave the other half. Well done video, editing over a year of footage is daunting.
I personally would be sketched out with those walls. I know you said flame resistant paint but im not sure if youve ever seen spray foam burn and how fast it burns. You never mentioned if it was class 1 rated so im assuming its not? I would get sheets of roof tin from home depot, the cheap stuff and mount it horizontal on your walls then seal around the perimeters to make absolutely sure no sparks can get under it to the spray foam. Just my opinion but that place it a fire ball waiting to happen
Bottom line, I will double check with the installer and ask what level of flame protection their foam has. But my research at the time suggested that closed cell foam essentially does not burn well, but it will burn, so experts recommended painting it with that flame preventing coating if it was going to be exposed.
I didn't renovate a building like you, but I did build a 28 x 40 x 10 and ended up having to make the same decisions you did re: insulation, walls, heating/cooling etc. I'm not saying this a criticism, but as an observation for others after doing the opposite which was approx 20% less [had I gone the other way]. I hung roll insulation [walls], and 12"-16" blown in the ceiling-I hung drywall/finished/painted myself which wasn't very expensive, so in the end I had a very finished look with fireproof walls via the drywall, and no exposed wires. I also opted for a home furnace w/AC to keep it inside-that ended up being the most $, but I was able to do this b/c of the 20% I saved. Great video.
Your realtor seems like a real piece of work when he didn’t want to show the shed to you. I wouldn’t even ask him for permission, just tell him to keep his mouth shut until he’s asked a question
Just to be clear: He’s a friend of mine from long ago, and I was 100 percent joking with he and my wife there. They both knew that that was pretty much where I wanted to go immediately but I was “playing it cool” and acting like I didn’t care about the shed much. All good! But thank you for backing me up!!!👍
Hey Andrew I was checking to see if you might be able to tell me where you got those shop lights at and that light from the outside also I like to get me some of those lights brother if you could please help me out I really appreciate you thank you sir
To give you some respite from the jealousy... one of those floor drains became a front door into the shop for mice this past fall. Chewed right through the plastic! Ridiculous!
I was going to "just have a look" and finish the video later. But it sucked me in! Had to watch the whole thing in the morning. You have a very cool new space :] Looking forward to "what's inside" video?
Awesome to hear, thank you! I have been pondering some way to do a shop tour that isn’t a straight up shop tour, so I will absolutely get that on the docket!
How are your wood posts doing? Just bought a house with a 28x30 morton pole barn that was built in the 80s. Just discovered that a few of the posts are rotted out right at ground level 😅
You bet, 25 feet wide by 40 feet long. I not so secretly wish it was just a bit bigger, and might be expanding it at some point in the near future, but that will likely be for cold storage. If I was more disciplined about my scrap wood hoarding, it would likely be much less tempting to add on. Best of luck with your future shed!
I see a lot of comments about water intrusion between the shell and insulation. I don’t know, so I won’t comment. What I do know is how flammable that stuff is. It’s meant to be sealed so that there is fire protection. Latex paint will not work. 5/8 (fire rated) drywall is necessary to make the building safe.
Amazing videos you got a new subscriber. It always seem like less work than it actually is..ALWAYS ! Nice Shed, you threw a lot of money to this thing haha
Wow that shop looks really really good buddy you did a hell of a good job I got to ask you a couple questions though where did you get those shop lights at I would like to get me a set of top lights that are decent if you could please let me know in the outside shop light I'd really appreciate it thank you very much bro that looks beautiful did a very nice job thank you
Great work! Looks like you got some extra space to park your next rusted car projects. Still looking for you to finish the truck. Did the project go further?
Thank you as always! Yeah will be nice to be able to leave a car disassembled long term in here. No updates made to the truck recently, but I have had a stack of new tires waiting for almost a year now, and I really just need to get them installed… so that is coming soon! Take care!
how expensive was the spray foam? I went and put the 2 inch foam pad insulation but to be honest it really doesn't do a good job of insulating the building how I'd like. I frankly think a lot of the heat goes out through the garage door not sealing well as well as the concrete being so darn cold since I only heat it when I go back there.
Just to confirm, are you saying you did 2 inch foam pad insulation on inside of building, or under the pad? I do think the spray foam is nice for sealing because that building is super tight now that I’ve got the garage door installation finished, cracks spray foamed, etc. Stays super nice in there but I keep it climate controlled year round and not sure how much that helps. Foam was between 5/10k; not cheap but working well!
@@AndrewReuter I did 2 inch foam pad all around but I do not keep it heated all the time so the garage is difficult to keep heated when I do use it. As soon as the heater turns off the temperature drops quickly and the heater turns back on
Hmm, why would you bury wood board into the ground like that on the sideskirts? It will just wick it up and rotting it self and the structure above? Better to cast some cement and put a DPC or something on top of it.
It’s treated wood but you’re not wrong; best way to do it would not be this. Still manageable but likely will be taking another approach for a planned addition eventually here.
Why not install a bug zapper to cut down on the amount of bugs? It worked amazingly for me but definitely shrunk the firefly population unfortunately but I was able to use the yard which I wasn’t able to due to the gnats and mosquitoes
It depends. Polyurethane is in itself very flammable but it's normal to add retardants for different applications. So it depends what has been added or used by the applicator.
And the dude’s respirator looks like something out of Pakistan. Must be some sort of dry-cutting blade? Isn’t water normally used as coolant/dust control?
@@thardyryll Yes. This will cause silicosis, making you more susceptible to cancer, TB, and other lung diseases. Every case is preventable by wearing a respirator with a Protection Factor of at least 50. 43,000 people died from it in 2017
Always spray any non pressure treated lumber with copper green (copper napthanate) and preferably use a non-permeable material like zip tape (flashing tape) along the surface that will contact the ground/concrete
@@AndrewReuter i also mix up boric acid solution in a pump sprayer and spray all the stud bays once the shear is on. Stops termites, roaches, earwigs etc.
I bought roll up doors as opposed to traditional garage doors and they have a much more simple install with less chance of having a spring delete your fingers.
Mistake to solve the rot problem with new wood instead of sorting out why it rotted in the first place. Same thing will happen all over again. Should have put it on some cinder blocks or concrete
Awesome video. I’m looking at renovating a similar shop space and I got some great ideas from your video. I was thinking of going with rockwool but I like the spray foam idea. Looks like you get as much snow as we do, what part of the country are you in?
From my awareness, it basically prevents there from being a crack between the two boards where air or water could get through. And the tongue of the bottom board presses up into the groove of the top, meaning any water that collects should shed away. 👍
9:50 Drywall is the opposite of expensive though? Plywood is expensive. All that money and work just to be frugal on the finishing touches that make it look good.

I frankly think a lot of the heat goes out through the garage door not sealing well as well as the concrete being so darn cold since I only heat it when I go back there.
Just to confirm, are you saying you did 2 inch foam pad insulation on inside of building, or under the pad? I do think the spray foam is nice for sealing because that building is super tight now that I’ve got the garage door installation finished, cracks spray foamed, etc. Stays super nice in there but I keep it climate controlled year round and not sure how much that helps. Foam was between 5/10k; not cheap but working well!
@@AndrewReuter I did 2 inch foam pad all around but I do not keep it heated all the time so the garage is difficult to keep heated when I do use it. As soon as the heater turns off the temperature drops quickly and the heater turns back on
Good team.....good job! Enjoy
nice build!
Thank you!
Mate your Father in Law is a Champion he saved you heaps of money he must like you …Great Video I like it stay safe cheers 🙏❤️😃👍🦘🇦🇺🇺🇸😎
awesome job. im looking to concrete mine.. its 60'x32'.. im terrified of the cost. what did yours cost? what size is it?
Thank you very much! Good sized shop there! Mine is 25x40. Not cheap, but it was under $10k, if that helps...
Can you do a breakdown on the cost?
Love the video, what is the tool you have on the bench at 0:12? Looking like a next level drill press. Can you share link or name.
Looks like a mill perhaps ?
Yup, @brianpeck697 nailed it! It's an Eastwood mini mill. Review here: th-cam.com/video/frbIDbgJ9bY/w-d-xo.html

@@AndrewReuter thank you gentlemen
Lucky having great in-laws and espeally farther in law that is into construction work.
I love it. Great Video!
5:31 haha angle grinder was too far away?
Hmm, why would you bury wood board into the ground like that on the sideskirts? It will just wick it up and rotting it self and the structure above? Better to cast some cement and put a DPC or something on top of it.
It’s treated wood but you’re not wrong; best way to do it would not be this. Still manageable but likely will be taking another approach for a planned addition eventually here.
Could that foam board under the floor crack from the weight of a car/truck?
I would recomend to mount the outside lights far from the door entrance to avoid the bugs to follow you inside
Good tip!
Neil's a boss
No doubt!
I never hear of flam retardant in paint before. cool video
Thank you!
Why not install a bug zapper to cut down on the amount of bugs? It worked amazingly for me but definitely shrunk the firefly population unfortunately but I was able to use the yard which I wasn’t able to due to the gnats and mosquitoes
That sure would be awesome to not get my blood immediately drained when heading outside in the summer... I will look into it!
5:31 best part of the video so far. 😂
Spray foam isn’t flammable, it will burn with a open flame source but it will not burn on its on for the most part
Good to know!
It depends. Polyurethane is in itself very flammable but it's normal to add retardants for different applications. So it depends what has been added or used by the applicator.
Loved the video!!! Good job on that! Did they pout the concrete level with the top of the new grade board you put in?
Thank you!!! Yup, pretty close there.
Barn looks great and so does the concrete. Straight up OSHA violation while sawcutting with no management of silica dust.
And the dude’s respirator looks like something out of Pakistan. Must be some sort of dry-cutting blade? Isn’t water normally used as coolant/dust control?
Barn??? Though it was a shed😅😅
@@thardyryll Yes. This will cause silicosis, making you more susceptible to cancer, TB, and other lung diseases. Every case is preventable by wearing a respirator with a Protection Factor of at least 50. 43,000 people died from it in 2017
Always spray any non pressure treated lumber with copper green (copper napthanate) and preferably use a non-permeable material like zip tape (flashing tape) along the surface that will contact the ground/concrete
Good call outs!
@@AndrewReuter i also mix up boric acid solution in a pump sprayer and spray all the stud bays once the shear is on. Stops termites, roaches, earwigs etc.
amazing video and build, thanks for sharing :)
Thank you! Nice channel and videos on your end as well!
I bought roll up doors as opposed to traditional garage doors and they have a much more simple install with less chance of having a spring delete your fingers.
Good to know!
Worth my 13 minutes of time, Enjoy….
Thank you!!!
Really nice job. Which part of the country is this, if I may ask?
Thank you! Near Madison, Wisconsin. 👍
Mistake to solve the rot problem with new wood instead of sorting out why it rotted in the first place. Same thing will happen all over again. Should have put it on some cinder blocks or concrete
Why did bro have the dogs out at 0:40 😮
i would have put wood walls up instead of dry wall or painting it would make everything look nice and warm
Definitely would look sharp!
Ha! Here in Nj you find a bunch of jerks that leave foot prints in cement.
🤣
Awesome video. I’m looking at renovating a similar shop space and I got some great ideas from your video. I was thinking of going with rockwool but I like the spray foam idea. Looks like you get as much snow as we do, what part of the country are you in?
The sliding doors would have been cool to keep as shutters over the garage door. But its good looking workshop now in any case.
Can someone tell me why the grade board had to be routed?
From my awareness, it basically prevents there from being a crack between the two boards where air or water could get through. And the tongue of the bottom board presses up into the groove of the top, meaning any water that collects should shed away. 👍
@@AndrewReuter Thanks! That makes sense!
The insulation is flammable????
The audio of you picking up the gravel in the start of the video made me giggle
😆
9:50 Drywall is the opposite of expensive though? Plywood is expensive. All that money and work just to be frugal on the finishing touches that make it look good.
Legit opinion there! I still am happy with the exposed look but can understand this view. Take care!
Got the like comment soley for the title screen of "Nope, Not again volume x" 🤣😂
😆 Thank you! Almost left that out, glad I kept it!
I bet that insulation foam also created sound canceling from rain banging on the sheet metal roof
