ReStore tip: Each ReStore has different businesses that make regular donations to their stock. So, different ReStores can have radically different, but stable characters. For example, the ReStore South of me gets supplied by a regional distribution center of a major hardware chain. They always have really good tools and hardware. The ReStore North of me is supplied by a particular window contractor. They always have a ton of both clearance new windows, modern windows that were pulled out during a replacement job and a pallet of traditional double hung sashes. Each of the old double hung sashes is $5 each. The point is, if you are near multiple ReStores visit them all. The bulkiest items tend to be donated locally, because shipping that stuff doesn't make sense. You can easily see the difference in stock selection between stores, but also ask the person in charge who their regular suppliers are (or what line of business if they don't want to mention names). They may also tell you what day of the week certain suppliers make their donations, so you can get first pick on the best stuff.
When I do shed/flat roofs meeting to brick/masonry, I always use z channel. About a buck a lineal foot. After I lay 30 lb felt, then 90 lb rolled roofing or shingles. I lay the z channel on top of the roofing, tight against brick, mark a line at the top of the channel, the length of the channel. Cut groove on mark with grinder 1/2" deep. Add quarter size spots of Henry's about 2" from the wall 6" apart. Place the channel on Henry's, celotex nail the channel every 12" to the roof. Caulk groove after channel is in place. Henry each top on those nails. If you use a full line of caulk /adhesive, then place metal over adhesive. Water may not have an out.
No updates for the last month, hope all is well, looking forward to following this with you guys. New to the channel from the first Bank video and periodically check in to see any new videos.
I noticed the flashing issue, but I thought it had been so long since I did any construction that I was wrong and that you were probably using some new materials or process. On another note, and as a fellow guitarist, I thought you may be interested to know (you may already) that the great guitarist Django Rheinhardt only had two working fingers (pointer and middle) on his left/fingering hand as he was badly burned in a fire as a young man. Also, the great Les Paul damaged his right/strumming arm so badly in a car accident that he had to convince a doctor not to amputate and to permanently set it in playing position! They both did OK. Anyway, I am really enjoying the series. BTW, my father cut off his pointer finger on a table saw . . . it seems like it always "the last cut". Best regards and continued success with the channel.
It's great watching your progress Dray, I can't wait to see everything all finished. You should throw a kite party and get a few of us up to help out with a project or two..
Similar story. I've been around guns my entire life. I've always known the rules of gun safety and followed them. I did 7 years in the military and shot even more after returning to civilian life. Then, one day, I was manipulating a Glock 17 with a very light trigger and I was so certain that it was unloaded. I had my finger on the trigger as I was going to push the slide back and applied too much pressure on the trigger accidentally. Turns out it was loaded and I put a 9mm hole through my hand, taking a lot of bone out with it. My surgeon wanted to go ahead and amputate the left index finger since he said it likely would suffer necrosis from lack of oxygen, but I begged him to give it a shot, so he did the best he could during surgery to piece together the various remaining splinters. We even used experimental sonic treatment to stimulate bone growth. I didn't manage a full recovery, but I did get to keep my left index finger (albeit about half-an-inch shorter than it had been before). It has much reduced functionality than it did originally, but I went back to shooting almost immediately so as to not get gun shy. I was embarrassed to tell the truth about what happened, but at the same time I wanted to warn other people of how dangerous complacency is, and it turns out a lot of people I know have had negligent discharges that they were too embarrassed to mention as well. Stay safe, folks!
Hi, I'm curious, in frame 3:24 there is what I think is a dentist's tooth polishing unit. Where did you find that? I would love to find one. Love your videos! Thanks
Good method, tried and true. A couple of clamps and another board with a sharp edge will make it easier. Plus a rubber mallet. Or you could spend $2500 on a cheap brake/break (that is what I know). Nice work.
This is one of the more fun channels that I watch. Let me say something about the flashing....it is still wrong. A suggestion even if you insist upon bending your own metal, the bottom flange that diverts the water onto the roofing should be on top of the rolled roofing. If you use mechanical fasteners, they should be coated hex head screws with neoprene washers. The bottom leg of flashing should be set in a heavy bed of roofing/flashing cement then coated hex head screws with neoprene washers usually self drillers/tappers are installed through the flashing into the heavy bed of flashing cement screwed tight enough the neoprene washer compresses. Once installed, go back and put a dollop of cement on the head completely covering the screw. Any fish mouth in the flashing can be marginalized by installing another screw where fish mouth occurs. Since a solid and continuous bead or beads of cement were used, the installation is water tight with nothing running under any roofing material. Where you cut the reglet in the brick, they make lead wedges that are to be driven into the groove to hold metal in place. Nothing more than another mechanical fastener. I don’t know everything but I ran construction in some capacity for about 50 years. This project is going to be fun. What is the end use planned for the bank building ?
Thanks for taking the time to leave this excellent comment! I did consider the neoprene roofing screws, but chose the alternative because I only needed 4 & would have to purchase a box when I had roofing nails in stock. Also I wasn’t sure if that would be protocol on an asphalt roof as I’ve only used or seen them used in metal roof applications. Luckily, this is all the roofing I’ll have to do on this project but I’ll store this info for the next repair. Thank you!
Good morning. The worst case for the small roof is it will last 5 to 10 years then need a rebuild. Not so bad exchange. Did you ever tell your viewers what you plan to do with the building ? I saw you are from the Tampa area...I live in Punta Gorda and until health forced retirement, spent a long time in construction. This is entertaining. Have fun and stay safe. See you on the next video.
I love the tour of the resale store I could spend a great deal of time there. To admit to a mistake and make it right is a the sign of a wise man. So nice to have a new video.
Hate to mention it, However seeing you took some info from what others thought was maybe an issue: thought I would bring up something that might be an issue as well.. You built a soffit and added in your vent for the fan that was ok. However if that second vent is for the roof area that might be an issue. You see normally for me anyway and most people that have had to use the soffit to vent, have closed off any fresh air intake into the roof about 6 feet on either side of the bathroom vent. This is so the air going back into the roof isn't steam from the shower and or bathroom. Also don't know the temps that you have there but it is best to have the vent stack insulated, because when you move hot air or cold air though a hot or cold roof it will cause the pipe to fill with water.. Next thing without anywhere for your air to flow out of that little roof all the steam and or hot air that will be drawn into that cavity will mold the roof area and rot the wood. When you have a soffit vent there needs to be an exit. That area is an intake for fresh air into the attic space. Now any air movement in the home if it isn't sealed correctly will pull in that bath fan air into the cavity and stagnate. Almost the same as venting your bath fan into the attic space without ventilation.
Question: What is the ultimate aim? Are you looking to convert the entire space to a home? It may be too late, but I was going to suggest that rather than plaster over the old, uneven brick again, that you consider first applying some spray-on water proofing, and then construct a 2x4 wall standing maybe a half inch away from the brick wall - enough to allow for deviations in the brick wall - so that you can get a level, plumb, and square wall, and so that you can insulate the framing cavity and the gap behind it. This would also allow you to rewire, and replumb the entire structure without having to embed things into the brick or have it exposed.
Dray.. thanks for sharing the finger story..ouch..u know I've done that a hundred times but now I'll never do that again.. thx! Oh and when u flick someone off now does it only carry half the inflection ? Lol j/k
Good question.. contrary to what most assume, it has double the effect. Also, your comment has inspired me to take this a step further and explain how to avoid this from happening on a saw. Thank you!
I don’t think people still use the dvd-r disk anymore. I watched my grandparents do this kind of work on the house when I was little! Can’t wait to see the outcome!
When the first miter saw came out, somebody called it a chop saw. If you want to chop something, use a hatchet. This tool is for precision cutting and it is much more dangerous than a hatchet. I have had a miter saw and a compound slide miter saw for about 40 years. Once I nicked my knuckle on the blade. That is 1 too many times.
Yes, I have a CD and DVD recorder. I haven't used it in over a year because the internet is much better. If anybody needs some CD and DVD blanks, I live in the PNW.
We all make mistakes that’s how we learn, it’s harder for people to admit they made mistakes, as long as you correct it and remember for the next time. Nobody is perfect shit happens …
I never noticed the finger until you told your story. My grandfather lost a couple of fingers in an explosion in his youth and after I knew the story I never really paid attention to that hand again since he still did everything he needed to do to get on with life. He always joked that he could only count up to eight!! At least you can get up to nine and a half!! :)
Your grandpa sounds like a cool dude. I’ll bet he made some nice stuff. Some of the most respected carpenters have similar injuries. It’s one situation where it truly happens to some of the best. Thanks for watching!
I have a question about the flashing you bent to shape. Since it's metal, would you consider painting it to help protect it from the elements to be a good idea ?
There’s no call for that as it’s made of aluminum and won’t rust. It comes in white and brown as well. Nothing saying you couldn’t paint it if you wanted to though.
Great video. I've been excited to see any progress you might've made on the inside of the building and stuff until you explained you currently don't even have electricity. 😮 I'm getting WAY ahead of things. 😄
Well, I've been watching as I said I would after the first video. I was waiting to hear the story about your finger. Your trips to Home Depot not be your only choice. I hope you take the time to find a local lumber yard that can supply not only material but information also. I didn't realize that this was your first project. Were there others? So, what are your thoughts/plans/budgets? Hope you don't get too far ahead of yourself.
The Lawrence Welk show was a walk down memory lane. Thanks for taking us on a trip to the local thrift store. The one you have there was pretty nice. 🙂Words I live by and learned at my school many years ago: "If a job is once begun, never leave it til it's done. Be the effort great or small, do it well or not at all." Thought I'd share because it's true no one likes having to do the job twice. Kudos to you for taking the time to back track and do it well.
Alittle bit here, alittle bit there. Dray don't work too hard, it will take time to get the building done. have u thought of what u will put in the building?
Index finger left hand here. Did your mind and nerves recalibrate to your new 'finger tip'? It's been 12 years for me, and yes, finally, but I also taught myself to type without using that finger.
Thankfully I’ve had very little phantom pain and I can type just as fast as I could before surprisingly. It is amazing how your brain accommodates and creates workarounds for common tasks with an injury like this. I’m still not 100% but perhaps someday. I hate to hear you lost one as well and I appreciate the comment.
Can't help but recognise that radio in your honda.... very much the exact same as my 2004 honda accord euro here in Australia! Loving the content mate! Looking forward to seeing the progress
I'm also In CA and am right there with you. Retail prices on donated items? Nope. I will occasionally go, though, in hopes that I'll find an exception.
Occasionally I’ll see an item like the radio in the video that’s priced way too high, but only once in a while. Each store is probably operated a little different but paying retail for second hand stuff sounds like something out of idiocracy. Thanks for watching!
I must say that I looked at your new channel with such excitement on a great transformation of a great build and all the history lessons that go with it ! The amount of videos has been bad ! I certainly hope that you have not been dealing with health issues yourselves or a family or friend in need of help ! So putting that aside ! I don't care if you install a door bust down a wall or bust open a water pipe ? Just at a minimum of one video a week on any particular day and stick to it ! We all need to feel the excitement of things we and our body can no longer do ! Hope your all well ! Just some friendly advice if you wish to move foward on you tube and be successful ! God Bless !
Haha. I love how you counted to 4 and a half with one hand.
Did something happen that you stop making video's ?????
Perseverance. It's a key term. Good one, y'all.

It was / is encouraging comments like this & knowing about Django, Les & the drummer from Def Leopard that keep me playing. Thanks for watching!
Actually, I wondered about it, but just thought I was ignorant, having never done construction.
"Measure twice. Cut once. :)
Another great video, thanks! Some of your viewers may not live in the USA, so they may not know of Home Depot, Lowe's or the ReStore stores.
It's great watching your progress Dray, I can't wait to see everything all finished. You should throw a kite party and get a few of us up to help out with a project or two..
Hey now, that’s a good idea.

Are there more video's coming up soon ?? I would love to see the progress you made... I might swing by one day..
If you do let us know how they are doing they must be very busy.

I turn 41 this year and I'm still learning something new everyday and making mistakes everyday! 😂
I have a combo VCR that plays old movies and a DVD for CDs.
I don't shop much at the box stores. I go to the local lumbar yard or hardware store. I get better quality and faster service.
Good method, tried and true. A couple of clamps and another board with a sharp edge will make it easier. Plus a rubber mallet. Or you could spend $2500 on a cheap brake/break (that is what I know). Nice work.

Wow very good!
What's going on sir? Did the building burned down ???

You may have already covered it, but what are your plans for the building?
Which Portland, there are many.
This is a good point.

Two guitar players of note with missing fingers: Django Reinhardt and Phil Keaggy. Don't feel so bad.
