- I finally found the perfect place to build the ultimate car guy compound. Tons of car parts, tools, and a motorcycle were left behind. So today we're going to sort through everything, throw a ton of stuff away, and start cleaning things up. A new house, a new shop, and a place to build cars better than ever before... but the house has some strange secrets of it's own.

That's 4,000 sq ft of pure unadulterated "man-cave". This far exceeds the allowable footage that most guys can claim for themselves. JR is living the dream. Just watch him go!🙂
What America really wants to know is: are you putting a soft serve ice cream machine in the kitchen so your dad will have fresh ice cream when he visits? Also, we need your dad to make an appearance again soon. We miss Ross.
It's funny how TVs are never too big. When I was a kid 27 was the biggest, and your parents made you sit 15ft away. My first big LCD was a 40 (and cost way more than that 100") which is still in my bedroom and seems tiny, and my current one is a 65 and sometimes I wish I got a 75.
I bought a 70 inch a few years ago and now I wish I had an 80 lol
I bought one of the biggest and last crt a Sony trinitron at 36” in
the late 1990s. It cost $1,400 and weighed 330 pounds!! Could not wait to give it away to my painter years later. Took 3 people to move 😮
Yes they always say which ever size tv 📺 you want go up one size 😂
John probably wishes he got The Wall by Samsung.
My first "big screen" was a 42" in 2008. It was massive to my eyes. Then I got a 92" projector setup (which was actually a pain for everyday use, frankly). I upgraded my tv to a 65" (which was great) but recently bought an 85". It's a bit overkill in my space (8.5' viewing distance) but now 65" TVs look "small" (they're not). GIven their overall size, I'm not sure I'd recommend an 85" for most people unless they have a lot of space but I could see a 75" being a sweet spot for many people. That said, my 65" was (and is) more than ample. Don't feel like you missed out-- your tv is still great!
13:37 - that lady turned into a guy!

JR's magic show, now you see her, now you don't.
The only thing you need now is that huge speaker from Back to The Future 1!😁
Firstly, I work for Richer Sounds in the UK and we sell those Hisense sets, over the years their range keeps improving and these sets are amazing value now. Classy finish and panel quality every bit as good as an LG or Samsung. Secondly, the biggest set we've hung on the wall in our store was a 75 inch and that took three people to get done, two to hold up, one to guide onto the mount and put in the mains and HDMI so well done to you and Gabe, believe me, I've been there and felt your pain!
I have a 2023 U7 85" (VA panel). It's *really* good for the price ($2k CAD on sale in Jan). They're basically gaming monitors with a tuner (my 144hz isn't 240 hz or whatever the latest gaming monitors are doing but Freesync makes everything look smooth and on point). Really impressed with everything/
The drywall sanding dust will love that new tv.
These new TVs have an electrical magnetic field that repels dust built in
The biggest house I ever worked on was 30,000 sq ft. It had a two lane bowling alley, elevator and underground tennis court and indoor swimming pool
The main part of the house used 535 yards of concrete with 12 ft walls and a racquetball court in the back and 15 fireplaces. It was built on 3- 5 acre lots. In 1980, the house cost $15,000,000 to build. It was sold 10 yrs later for $40,000,000!!!
27:48 JR trying the new yoga pose called upward TV. 🤣😂🤣😂
It was so heavy I was trying to use my legs to support my hand 😂
😂🤣😂🤣🍺😉👍🏼
This stressed me TF out. I would have found 4 people to help lol
Why not use the hydraulic cart that was used for pulling engines
WatchJR get a hernia, LOL
I absolutely need that tv in my house just because 😂😂
I helped a friend of mine, install one of those. But it was four of us three of us holding the television and one guiding us to the bracketing system. It actually went pretty quick with the fourth person taking care of the mounting part. I highly recommend using more than two people.
That intro sounded like Cleetus Mcfarland
But not automotive related..
Hef's Mansion was 22,000 ft, and that was just the main building. It was surrounded by other buildings plus a connection to the huge house next door. Huge place!
JR isn't the owner of Playboy, though. Lol
The term, “MORE POWER” to JR applies to EVERYTHING engines, televisions, sound systems, plumbing you name it and he’s going to find a way to get more power from it along with making it as efficient as it can be.
ya know a quick trip to harbor freight to pick up one of their lifting tables and hanging that tv woulda been a breeze
Unnecessary. A couple 2x4s as lifting studs with a couple pulleys work fine. If you don't mind patching a couple small holes, the pulleys can be mounted to the ceiling.
Accent lighting? I’m sure Hugh Hefner would call it “mood lighting” and he would be very envious of the tech in your home. 4000 is not small, so call it whatever your want!
Poor JR couldn't hardly get his side as high as Gabes, while telling him he needed to go up!
It's not just one guy, by the way!
Loved the longer episode keep them this long all the time if possible got alot done on this episode also!!!!!!! The new tv is awsome
I would put that mega TV in an unused room until you finish the living room
I think Gabe is stronger than JR. LOL.
I mount TVs as a side job. I had one once that was super crooked. I had a level on it and it was perfect. I measured it from the bottom corners to the floor and it was perfect. Then I got up on a ladder and that was when I could see that the actual ceiling was very sloped. This old 1940s house had settled over the years, and they fixed the level of the floors when they renovated the house, but not the ceiling. I had to use a tape measure to re-do the wall mount level in relation to the slope of the ceiling. Otherwise it 'looked' super crooked.
Appreciate everything you do. 35min JR video makes a rough day not as... rough. Thank you!
@@travishowell330 thanks for watching!! 💯
You guys survived a Charlie Foxtrot w/ that big ass TV. LOL !!!!
4k sq feet is a big house. Hanging that tv was a job. I can see on Super Bowl Sunday, four guys there: JR, Gabe, Eric and Jake all drinking energy drinks and eating Taco Bell take out. Thank goodness you did not put mirrors on the ceiling. Mood lighting is cool, reminds me of the new airplanes that can change the color of the lights during the flight.
The beast lol you did this today I just watched that video it was great when Jay did puns to the secret service
Absolutely, most of my videos come out the same day 🍻
Gabe is like "I got this"
My company just bought one of those TV's on Amazon. It was 54% off. $5000 TV for $2300.
Crazy how cheap they're getting! The only thing inflation doesn't affect 💯
@WatchJRGo the funny thing was I helped unload it from a trailer and it was almost as wide as the trailer. You had about 2 inches on both sides.🤣
Man what a steal! But seriously I don't think I could knock out all my walls in my house from the living room all the way to the back to put that thing up and it would probably still be too big for the room lol lol lol
Not such great deal considering Hisense TVs are junk, and last a couple of years tops.
@vadim7590 Yeah, I personally wouldn't buy that brand.
If you need 4, pull 6. You'll thank me sometime in the future when you need another drop and those 2 spares are sitting there already. I overdid the drops in my new house like crazy, and it has already paid off in a few spots.
There is no such thing as a tv that is to big.... 😂😂😂 Now I want a 100in TV. My 75 looks small now. 😅😂
Fast forward 2 years to JRs video “welcome to my new studio apartment!” House is looking great
keep them coming!!!
What I have found out after installing quite a few wall mounted TVs is that any good wall mount has some fine tuning on the leveling. The ones that don't make life harder. Love the progress on the crib. The indirect lighting is a nice touch.
Place is turning out nice! Great series.
My living for 20 years was custom home integration. Enjoy watching your progress in the home. Keep up videos. Enjoy watching as get Ready for work. At times I may screaming Noooooo at things you do but end of day it all working out.
Questions for JR: 1) Does any of the bathrooms work? No 2) Do you have a place to sleep? No 3) Do you have a place to cook and eat? No
JR: Do you want to see my new 100 inch tv?
Classic guy
He does have a full home he lives in, he just travels to this property to work on it/make content
I have a home treater is my house ( 65" 4k and 5.2.2 Atmos ) make sure the lights don't reflect off the tv when seated. I had to put a light stand off to the side for ambient light while the main lights were off. If you can, run wires for a 5.2.4 setup as you will regret not doing it later. If you can't run wires then you are stuck with a 5.2.2 setup and that is good but 2 Atmos height channels is even better. I have never bought a house where at at least 1 big room could be used as a home theater. Haven't been to movie theater since Forrest Gump played. 4K BR at home is so much better. I have 2 subs, 1 up front and 1 behind the couch.
I've got to say a lot for Hoovie. Before I watched Hoovie Kansas was just a place on the map I knew nothing about.and I'd never been to. Most of the people I watch on youtube now are from Kansas and Oklahoma. great bunch of people. I always start of with watchjrgo.
Did you do a whole house surge protector? Lightning is a thing in Kansas (at least on the family farm in N. KS).
I LOVE my 3 head Kohler DTV shower I built a few years ago. it's a fairly basic digital valve. and only cost me $1k for the valve and control panel.
The DTV+ is the super duper one that has the touch screen and bluetooth and other cool stuff.
Sometimes I think JR just started this channel so he could be busy filming content while his friends do all the hard labor😂
I think everything you have done to the house is amazing! I am a real tech guy and I can’t hold a candle to what you do! Keep up the awesome content.
I used to run a floorcovering warehouse, and one of our builders (owner of a home building business) built his personal home during my tenure. He had the most custom home that I've ever seen with around 9,000 sq ft, a "father-in-law" suite in the basement, a theater room with a sloping floor and tiered seating, 2 kitchens + a custom grill by the pool, a 20' fireplace in the living room, a $5,000 toilet in the master bath with the master shower having like 20 sprayers in the ceiling AND 2 shower heads on 2 different walls, completely wired for computer controls, camera system, and audio throughout, a "bridge" across the living room to get from the kids'/guest bedrooms to the master suite... I'm sure I'm forgetting a lot of details. It looks like JR will have a "mini-mansion" at the least...
I got a U7 85" late Jan. I'm *very* glad I paid for them to deliver it since it was 115 pounds packed and they had a hard time getting it up my building's stairwell. I very much doubt a 100" would have fit. Enjoy the size. the 85" is crazy for my apt size (I sit ~8.5' away) but it sure is nice. The U7 has excellent visual quality and the U8 is better. Nice buy, JR!
why is the midwest obsessed with textured ceilings ? its so low end on the east coast
I have skip trowel walls and ceilings in my Vegas home. Hate regular orange peel or knock down texture. So hard to fix the inevitable cracks.
Years ago when house shopping my wife and I were shown a house owned by a single man. And it showed. It was like this, just not as modern.... all cool stuff for a dude. All stuff that we would have un-done. We passed. My friend did a bunch of custom stuff to his house when he was single. When he tried to sell it he had to undo a bunch of stuff.
JR, is one ass backwards dude. He spends more money on electronic upgrades than he does the entire house. 😂😂😂
Damn, JR! You look like Hoovie trying to lift that thing! 😂🤣
I’ve got the Hisense 125” and absolutely love it .. TVs can never be too big these days. .. I remember back in the day when a 27” tv was classed as a big screen lol
The biggest tv anyone could get for decades was 25''.
John Ross is never coming out of the closet now
I would like to see a follow up video on that TV. I've been thinking about buying one for my shop. I always buy Samsung. So I'm kind of worried about buying cheap chinese junk over name brand.
I feel your stress when you were hanging and about to let go of the tv. We went with an 86" tv last year when I finished my basement. Super nervous to let go of the tv. Thankfully I had a mount that swiveled and pulled away from the wall because I did not want to have to take it down again to install wires and cables. Lol 😅 Definitely an amazing tv though. People are really amazed at my tv, I can imagine yours tv next to mine.😅😅
Great now you make my 85" tv look small. I don't have the room for a 100" tv. LOL
I’m still using my 50” from 12 years ago. 😂🤣
Did you say you tried to find straight wood at a big box retailer? Hahaha... you of all people should have a real lumber yard as a go-to for consistent quality wood
This is the kind of stuff I love, awesome! That truck made it look just right
I would have just put gorilla adhesive on that bar just to make sure it wouldn't move and overprotect the heck out of it; I mean, use super-duty bolts and reinforce everything and make sure the bolts were made of tungsten and titanium
@watchJRgo, can you tell me what 4" led lights your using?. Tks
You weren't kidding about how heavy that TV was seeing how you guys were handling it. I hope your lag bolts hold up I wouldn't want to be in the house when that TV hits the Floor at 2 am. lol
That's a lot of lumber for some LED Lights 😆
I thought this was a Cletus video from the audio at the beginning 😂
Love my Hisense U8 75 inch, I switched to all Hisense tvs few years ago after numerous problems with LG, Samsung and Sony tvs great performance very bright and great 4 k picture, got a Hisense U6 75 inch in my shop às well
I guess you never had to mount old hitachi director series TVs. The 60” where ridiculously heavy for the size and where not fun hanging over fireplaces. I don’t miss those days.
Did you get the focal speakers yet? I can get focal from one of my distributors
I did, bought them on eBay for half the price of Crutchfield 🍻
@@WatchJRGo Nice! That’s basically dealer cost
The pioneer 70” was no joke either…
Watching you two hanging that big-ass TV was the best content I’ve seen this year.
What type of swings are you going to install?
I like the shear abundance this guy carries around...the antidote to the sky is falling utubers...sweet man sweet
Welcome to U8K Gang. I have the 65 inch and love it. The real party trick with it is 4k/144 Hz PC gaming.
You need a big mirror on that bedroom ceiling Hefner style. Oh and a few bunnies.
Man and i thought i had a time with my 70 by myself and i just had to put it on the "shelf." Yall had me puckered up the whole time 😂. Love the watchjrshouse content. Take your time, as you are and do it right "the first time! 😉. Haters can go kick rocks.
Hisense TV’s are junk. I will never buy one again. Mine only lasted 12 months before an LED died inside. I replaced the LED strip but if it breaks again, it’s heading to the landfill.
Love the network name of nunya. 😂😂😂
4000 ft is a big house. I’m proud for you. Don’t let haters get to you. That green monster comes out in some people
That ceiling box would be great for hanging a ceiling fan right above the bed.
Have you ever checked out the coffered ceiling designs in Southern Texas homes.. especially the modern built upscale ones.. they make you headboard ceiling box look like a child's play.... They can get absolutely crazy.
Oh I've seen come of them, love them! 🔥
@@WatchJRGo So you're saying you love to come of them, seen Oh I've? :)
when you mount anything heavy, mount the brackets against the bolts so they can't drop once weight is put on it.
I just watched this and decided to upgrade to a 75 inch TV from my ten year old 48 inch Westinghouse. It comes Monday and I can't wait. I was gonna just do 55 inch but a 75 inch tv for $500 was too good to pass up
Give it another 6 months (once they've worked logistics with retailers out), and you'll be able to get TCL's 115 inch, lol. I've been torn between going the Hisense 100 inch TV for a theater room, or their 120 inch ambient light rejection screen and projector kit (or Laser TV as they call it) from Amazon.
Dude. Watching now. Cool idea in the Master.
This house is ridiculous and for sure is a flex but I cant stop watching! Keep up the good work!
H. Heffner ?? well..... one can dream i guess🤣🤣🤣
2006 Yamaha R1, let's build this thing!!
I have a Hisense 75” and I’ve been begging my wife to let me buy the 100”. It looks so good John!
Had to fast forward through the tv part couldn’t watch too nervous
We could've dropped it at any point 😬
$750K? Not in that neighborhood. Before you started it was already the nicest house in any of the neighborhood shots I've seen. Best of luck though.
JR I like your mansion ur hallway closet is probably bigger then his whole house lol
Any other UK viewers get a 'Chuckle Brothers' vibe when they were hanging that TV? "To you! To me! To you! To me!" 😁
Pivot! Pivot! Pivot!
A mansion is typically in excess of 8,000sf, at least historically speaking, whereas a mini-mansion is usually over 4,000 sf of living space. Another factor is how much land is involved. Some people feel there should be more than an acre of land (43500 sf) around the house to qualify as a mansion. You can call it whatever you want, but usually the people who have really large houses just call it their house.
John calling it a mansion is driving engagement for the algorithm. That's all that matters.
You must be fun at parties. It's a running gag, get over yourself.
Ignore the trolls. Call your house whatever you want. It's amazing! Truly amazing!
I have this exact same TV in my house that I got about 7 months ago. I decided not to mount it, and instead have it on a very large and stupidly expensive TV stand that is designed to handle the massive weight of this TV. Just putting the feet on and getting it on the TV stand was enough of a chore for two people. Hanging it...I wouldn't have even tried with two of us. I got mine from Amazon, so they used a freight service that brought it right into the house which made things a lot nicer (for the same money as Best Buy).
The living room mine is in is a lot bigger (28' wide, where the TV is mounted, 22' deep that is also open to the kitchen, with a 20' ceiling), so it looks pretty normal. I had my 83" OLED there until this arrived and the 100" just looks better there. Plus the room has a wall of windows on one side and OLEDs just don't get as bright as this and it made a difference (but that OLED in the bedroom gets it DONE). Finished my setup off with an Arendal 1723 speaker setup (two towers, center, four surrounds) and a Monolith 13" sub.
You will love this TV. Off center viewing could be better. It gets very bright, the color setup out of the box is pretty good. Blacks aren't OLED inky but still pretty damn good as it has pretty good local dimming. Has some dirty screen effect like pretty much every non-OLED but nothing out of the ordinary. There is a reason this gets better reviews than the TCL 100" that's about 1k more and the Sony that is 2x the price (I have the 75" version of that Sony...this has a better picture than the Sony). The remote on the Hisense feels low-end, but I'm running a Harmony Elite w/ Hub to control everything, so not a real factor. eARC when using the built-in app has been good, which isn't the case for many eARC setups, though I typically use my nVidia Shield Pro or Firestick 4K Max. I would absolutely buy this TV again.
Good Evening John Ross
Hey Douglas! 🍻
That house is going to be awesome.
Good luck with your tv. I bought a 75” Hisense tv and it only lasted a year.
And the whole time, there was probably a sheetrock jack in the next room, lol
I sure hope there is spare bedroom for Gabe.
Thank you, JR
So that box is for a mirrored ceiling and a mirror ball spinning around with all the lights!🤣😂
That’s what I said!!
TV worth more than my car 😂
I live in a 1600 square foot house and I'm thinking "this is a fairly largeish house" - it's less than half the size of JR's mansion 😂 also, I fully support this build and your crazy customizations, it's really cool and ambitious and I love it 💪
Hey JR. Great job so far, but please invest in at least a 4' level. Using that little torpedo level for everything is nuts.
if you put a air conditioner in in the garage, get another mini split.
Then scrap out that thing from hoovie.
I would NOT trust that TV mount 😂
At my old workplace I ended up wall mounting 2 TVs - a 75" and an old 65" that weighed almost as much.
75" seems to me like the max for 2 people without it getting sketchy.
I later looked into a mount for an 85" in a different office (same style as the one you got) and Samsung recommended 4 people for "just" an 85".
