Building a Huge Addition On My Shop. Game Changer! 

I've been working on this on and off for the last 6 months, and it's awesome to have it coming together at last. Like the video? Give me a thumbs up! Check the description for ways to support the channel. I really appreciate everybody's support! Truly! Have an awesome weekend everybody!

If you're not violating OHSA standards, are you really doing something DIY?

Hardest working channel under 400k , I wish more people cared about this stuff. Thank you for what you do!!

You should call up Rob Wolchek and report that a contractor has ripped you off. Then show up in a different outfit as the deadbeat contractor. Then Rob can put your alternate personality in "thehall of shame".

Oh no I'm not going to be here next week and I left my phone in my iPad my computer what am I going to do I won't be able to see it I'm going to miss it shucks sorry about that maybe I'll see you soon not next week...

You have a builder's level. A transit shoots vertically as well. Which is useful, but a laser level is better for a guy who can't get his wife to come out and help shoot elevations with him.

Owns two workshops, a forest, a crazy amount of land, a camera drone, a sawmill, a tractor - can't afford a laser level. :)

You can get pretty good laser levels for about $100 if you don't need too much brightness. For outdoors on a sunny day you need something proper with a laser receiver as well, but it doesn't have to be that expensive. I highly recommend getting one of those, those things have made many of my jobs so much easier.

This guy is the energizer bunny. I remember working 10 to 12 hr days in my younger days. I will be 70 soon so I still get it done just far less hours per day.

Amazing. This reminds me of the man who said “work should be fun”. You must really love what you do. Very interesting.

I’m thinking that the steel beam is so you can span a larger area without a post. Also, the new beam should be named Mr. Johnson. 😂

Some free advice from a structural engineer:

I'm a retired general contractor living in San Jose, CA. I was a turn key contractor which means I did all the trades, foundations, framing, electrical, plumbing and all the others. The only tip I wanted to share with you was fishing for wires between floors. I always used a 20' hunk of window sash chain and dropped it down the wall cavity and fished from the bottom. In my youth I had rewired many very old rwo and three story row houses in Philadelphia and this practice worked very well. You're a joy to watch and good luck. Ben Vitcov.

My workshop is also a bit messy "right now", and by "right now" I mean always.

Here in Indonesia we use small hose and filled it with water then stretch the hose across two point that we need to find level..

I enjoy your knowledge and videos. Gotta love your” OSHA approved “ scaffolding.

Easily my favorite channel as you are smart and seem very genuine. Great work.

Steel beam for one of those sliding hoists. Anyway, this channel, Andrew Camerata and Curtis from CEE are my favorite building/skill based channels. Outstanding content, I’m subscribed, notification bell and always click the like. Thanks for putting content online!

You have a beautiful property. I love the landscaping circle around the house and shop.

I love your work!!! You may be a Jack of all Trades, but it appears that you have mastered quite a few of them!!! I have been involved in the trades for over 50 years and I love your videos.
