We’re a family of 4 that moved out of New York and escaped city life. Join us as we learn to become more self sufficient and enjoy a wholesome, simple life in the South Carolina upstate.
Thanks for sharing this! I’m planning to do something similar for my detached garage. I’m considering stubbing the conduit up through the slab and into the wall. Is there any reason you didn’t do it this way? Is it just because it would be cumbersome to coordinate the conduit run with the concrete crews and building erectors?
Partially that, but with the metal tube sill plate (bottom frame rail), you dont want to remove a section to make way for the conduit. Nor did I want to stub up in front of the frame rail and sacrifice floor space in a small shop. If it was a stick frame building with 2x6 sill plates, it wouldn’t be an issue.
Love how your shop turned out! Did you ever get the garage door opener for it? If you did what kind did you go with and did you have to change the doors or were the original doors good enough? Absolutely love the 55 Chevy! I first took notice to a 57 gmc 9300 I believe that's the Canadian version on a Show we watch. Been looking for one since lol!
Hello I just saw your video and i have a 2003 bear tracker also the original carb was swapped out by the previous owner for an Amazon one I see the top of the carb is missing a vacuum connection I need to know where it goes to also it looks like the rear brake light was changed out for an led strip and some one cut the wires too it and I’m missing one head light need to figure out how to find the wires to the rear light as well as how to replace a head light and find that missing vacuum tube any help is appreciated
This comment is late, however I did buy the S130 two years ago. Put on a mulching system rather than discharge, changed the oil system to a regular oil filter and oil drain, installed a fuel shut-off between filter and pump, upgraded to bearings in front wheels and, installed the poor-man power steering needle bearings. This machine does a great job and the upgrades were all things John Deere should have done in the first place. Nice video.
I've been looking for an air filter for mine but can't find it, where do you get yours from or the part number and what is the part number for the oil filter please????
Hmmm. I'll be moving to SC soon myself, with plans for a metal garage. I hope I don't end up with the same problems you did. I wouldn't ask you to trash the folks you dealt with, but have you learned about other companies that you COULD recommend? Thanks.
I just built a galvanized metal shop and was looking to run electric to it. If you don't mind me asking, how much did all the material cost wiring , breaker box , etc ?
I did not understand why garage door opener outlet did not require GFI protection and the light outlets did. The light outlets are even higher and out of reach or not readily accessible.
(Im replying from my new channel) Technically ALL receptacles in a garage are supposed to be GFCI protected as per the 2020 version of the NEC. However, It’s important to check your local code. The reason I say that is that adoption of the code is done in a variety of ways: Statewide By city By municipality Not at all. And the adoption of a specific code or code update is always tied to a date. And your local AHJ will know the date. Go by your local code. According to the new NEC code, Id have to GFCI protect my welding machine outlet, or hardwire it (which Im not doing). Many local municipalities dont adopt everything.
Just restored my 2002 Bear tracker, i wish someone would make a modern version of this small nimble machine. Great 4 wheeler to ride. Front shocks instead of struts. Solid rear axles fine but like Suzuki does dual shocks rear axle would be great instead of just a single shock. I took a blow torch to my plastics to restore them then I greased them up with a product called SC1 to bring the shine back and they look fantastic. Just need to get my decal stickers off of eBay. I also painted my frame and racks with farm enamel paint which is like the second best thing to actually powder coating them
@@HiddenCreekHomestead Thank you for responding. I am planning to use Versatube to build my barn which will be 36X40X16. I have seen enough of RU-vid videos of people having contractors who don't even speak English build their metal buildings. I think I am going to do it myself. That way I can do a lot better job with Quality Control. We just had our house put new sidings on replacing the old wood siding with concrete mix siding. The contractor came in with a crew of 3 who didn't speak English. Luckily, I learned how to speak Spanish. The quality of work was horrid. It seems that the companies hires just anybody from the street to do the work. I wonder if the majority crossed the southern border illegally.
When you have contractors do the work, they will make mistakes and some won’t tell you. They work fast and long hours so imperfections will be there. I plan to do the work myself because measure twice, cut once is a very important rule.
Hope its not he company named after a bear..ive been talking with them..i ended up canceling because they couldnt seem to understand what sides i wanted access doors.
Perhaps she might decide to document her journey thru this? Would help alot of people going thru the same thing. Just a thought. Prayers for your family. 🌹🙏

@@intheshoptv Have you built a 26X40 garage? Im asking because most metal building companies I have spoken to are requiring 2" more than the length and width.
So there are only like 3 actual manufacturers of these metal buildings and for some reason they all seem to be in North Carolina. So whatever “company” you order from, isn’t really a company at all, rather… its some guy sitting around in his slippers and PJ’s with a laptop that are acting as “brokers”. I just ordered from a local carport company, not sure which of the manufacturers they got it from. My new channel is all filmed INSIDE the shop… would love if you checked us out: @intheshoptv
I wonder if the communication barrier is designed into the project? Imagine how they would do if you weren't standing there checking up on them. They should use a driver with an adjustable clutch.
I found this video because im looking to get me a 4 wheeler soon and i wanted some info on this particular one. Im going to use mine pretty much only during deer season, so it wont be taking a huge beating. So since this video is 2 years old, how is it holding up?
(Replying from my new channel) Ha! FARRRR from it… she wore a Christmas sweater all week with antlers sewn onto it, and she sleeps next to my ankles every night.
I am sure this is a dumb question to you pros but I noticed a quick shot of the bad you use for tools and wire nuts while doing electrical. Do you happen to know which bag you got? I want to get one and keep it set up for every time I do electrical. Thank you sir!
There is another video showing how I got the finish, the concrete company power troweled it, and then we used a roll-on sealer. I wish it still looked like that but with what we do in the shop now, its to be expected. Check out my other channel “in the shop tv” for all the content inside the shop
Nice job! I started using a long, separate piece at the bottom since it corrodes relatively fast being so thin. Or one can cut that off and replace that later, same thing. All the best!
@HiddenCreekHomestead howdy fellow South Carolinian. Did you ever get that garage door opener in? I'm interested in how you are going to get that done.
