I'm about 2 to 3 years away from doing a project like this for myself and I'm so grateful for people like you that are documenting your own builds so I can study them and get ideas for my own project. Congratulations and thanks again and keep up the good work!!!
Good Job!! You have put a lot of thought in to this. Gonna enjoy it for a long time, getting projects done in your shop will be so much easier and more pleasant not having to leave the house when you want want to spend time in the shop. The older you get the more you will appreciate the conveniences you are making now, I have spent decades in shops always wishing for the house built on to the shop. Way to go!!
This is what I had in mind to do a couple of years ago, but a gorgeous old house on a golf course came up for sale and was a surprisingly great deal. Dollar signs all over it. My intent is to sell it after some appreciation. I have a sell target in mind. So my project wasn't abandoned, just postponed. Your project is one of the nicer looking shop house builds I've seen. Sub'd. I look forward to watching the final touches.
Looking good Christian. You might get some flack about using T111 siding, rather than steel. But I imagine it costs less and is still very low maintenance. Just my 2 cents, but a steadier camera, ie: less swinging around from your face to the various house projects. It could definitely be less nauseating to watch. 😂 Keep it up. It's going to be a great looking shophouse!
not really T-111. im using this same stuff on my house. its actually under the engineered wood catagory. price wise its about equal actually. labor is more with the sheets then metal though. Overall im very happy with this stuff so far and it holds up to rot super well!!! use a scarp piece for dry spot/hard surface on the ground to work, its been outside for almost 2 years in the rain(actually underwater at points of heavy rain) and still no rot or decay. its not even primed on back side, just plain like you buy it from the store. prices are crazy now days but still a good product for the money to me.
Way cool building. I'm just wondering if your area has code regarding complete separation and sealing doors to isolate garage fumes from the living space. I'm asking because your upstairs living space seems to be through the garage. That being said I really like the concept and execution so far.
Tough to see in the video but did you install z flashing where the siding meets where the horizontal trim will run? Hard to tell in the vid but if you don’t install that trim you will get water behind your siding. Great looking building! Great setup
How did decide to do all spray foam versus flash and bat? My understanding is the the spray is great but it can be expensive. Can it pay for itself in a reasonable amount of time? You will have a great setup. Best wishes for your build.
Looks good . I do siding and want to build myself a big shop one day . But I think you need flashing over the top of your siding on the horizontal seams . But I know you said your doing trim . ? So if it was ✅ with the initial plan ?
This is just a thought After 39 years of construction I don't think I would use that T-111 for siding You've got a nice place there But to protect from the elements I would not use that type of siding Too many problems It does not last Sorry to tell you
@@Create208 me and anybody else that's used it in the country. Do some serious research. They stopped using it as whole house siding in my area in the mid-90s, continue to use it for eaves and such till about 2000, every inch of it has had to be replaced. There have been many variations, the end result is always the same. It's cheap for a reason.
If you go on a website like thertastore. Com you can see the standard cabinet sizes. Every kitchen will be different depending on how you want it but if you find all the cabinets you want and add up the total width it will give you a good idea on your wall size without having to use fillers.
