How and why I Enclosed my Carport?! (You would be surprised!) 

Wish I was handy like you. Struggling with idea of high costs to get an addition to our tiny house but desperate for more space! Look forward to the finished product.

Hopefully you don’t get termites in you new addition. It would have been smart to build a concrete curb 8” above grade to keep the framing above grade, and the siding at least 6” above grade. Nice to have that added space already roofed.

Jack your quite handy..but know you have done lots of this type stuff redoing many of your properties. Great how too content and appreciate you sharing your experiences. Keep cool in our beautiful Florida ☀️...continued success for you and your Lil family 😇🇺🇸👍

Good job Jack. Looks good and like you say you can always use the extra room.

Yak or Jack idk but I just randomly found your channel by clicking on your Pensacola/Italian restaurant video. I moved to Chattanooga Tn 7 years ago but am born/raised in Pensacola/Santa Rosa are. Very home sick but your videos made me feel right at home. Going to subscribe right now! Thanks for the Pensacola videos..especially food and fishing

Good job Jack that makes a nice little addition to your house and with little Jack you're going to need the room has somebody that has been in construction their whole life the only thing different I would have done is for some concrete in between the brick pillars on the one side where the water comes through to mount the bottom plate too it all in all great job👍

Eugene approves of walling in a carport

Be Kind... It looks nice, and it did pass inspection.

Sounds like they are being fair at the Building Dept. I am the Deputy BO/Chief Inspector/Plans Examiner at a building department near Orlando, FL. I also draw plans on the side, just not in my jurisdiction.

Great video, subscribed and will be watching part 2. I live in Central FL 10 min to the beach. Its amazing how things change in a 2 yr period. Leaving FL and going to GA, purchasing a couple acres with LG horse barn. Looking to take that one side of the main barn, lean to and converting to living space. After that, will probably take a good portion of the lofted area in the barn. Disabled so can't finish it but will help me lay it out and figure out some costs. Thank you for sharing.

I would have put the doors on the side so you have a little courtyard for grilling.

A man like you with common sense could build whatever he needs and save a ton of money! Great job.

I think it looks great, and u put a lot of thought into your design. It’s true about the older homes, nothing is square!

Thanks for watching everyone! If you are looking to buy or sell Real Estate on the Gulf Coast of Florida or Alabama email me. Im a Realtor. - jack.motley@adoorrealestate.com

Truly Awesome work! I'm looking to do mine within the next year or so

I love you you continuously change your focused topics with always the focus on educating your viewers.

Good for you dude

Wow..your carport is set up the same as my brick 1960 house. I want to do the same

I looks great Jack, Just remember this is Florida and you can't have too much insulation.

Hey! How much did you spend on this?

Check out a mini split AC unit. Much better than a window unit !!!!!

You could of labeled it as storage area and no permits needed. It all about the verbiage

Looks good, thanks for sharing.

Congratulations on the little guy

Well done captain!

Thanks for this, Jack.

For your RU-vid videos Why am I not surprised

A much needed video!

Why not take out the brick columns and put wood ones up? Since all they are holding up is the carport roof, right? Looks awesome, love your down to earth no bullshit videos. My wife and I are are thinking about buying a home on the gulf (my brother lives in Pensacola on Bayou Chico) and we were stunned how much homes on Navy Point are going for, if and when they are available. Have been looking at Gulf Breeze, and some other spots on the water that’s not the ocean.

Jack, your pillars would not be level but they might be plumb.

Looking good!

Good job!

Great job

🎉thank you!!!!

Very good job That's not easy or cheap to do Only questionable thing is the ply Plywood doesn't expand etc Only solid wood does against the grain from what I understand But looks very good and great equity in your house

Some people would like the extra indoor space, but I wouldn't buy a house that doesn't have a garage, or at minimum, a carport. You did a good job with it though!

Good job .

Awesome add on! What flashing did you use at the bottom of the framing? I am going to do the same project here in Lake Ckunty, Fl. Thanks!

I want to do this to my house to use the extra space as a new kitchen. My only concern is the ceiling height out there is about 7.5ft so to make it comfortable we would need to probably take that part of the roof off and raise it. Also wondering how difficult it would be to get water/sewer out there.

Thank you

Nice build!

What is going on with that desktop, bro? Stacks on stacks of stuff! Good work, I always enjoy watching your videos.

What was the total cost of this project? Because I would like to do the same.

Do you have any thoughts on the stairs? How can you hide those? I’m having that problem. I’m doing the same thing you are.

So did you mean to put the door in backwards, doors swing in Hinges on the inside , threshold on the outside. Is the door windstorm compliant. You will need a windstorm inspection.

Hey great video. I have a question. Because I have a similar carport and thinking about closing. Could you have supported the roof with steel post and took down the brick to give you more space? I'm actually going to use it as a one car garage and taking down the brick pillars will give me more side space.

Thank you for you video.. is it possible to get a copy of your apporved plans.

Do you have a video or pictures of the completed project?

How long did this take you roughly?

What did you use on the bottom of the framing to seal off from outside water? And what product did you use between framing and brick columns ?

I can taste that Emerald Republic beer but I don't smell any meat smoking on that green egg!

Gonna have to quit watching you. You are very entertaining and informative. You also seem pretty intelligent. Clemson Fan??? Can't believe anything you've ever said now. :)

Just run the duct through the brick...not a hard process...ALOT cheaper than an ac unit. Also its your property your doing the work dont get an inspection fuck the permit all they want is to increase your property tax value

they ask you for a architect or engineer?? to pull the permits??

Can't wait to see what the increase in your property taxes will be

We should do a RU-vid video together. I could help you, give me a holla! I'm a licensed architect. Great video!

I live about 20 miles away from you. Let me know if you ever need a hand!!

😁🖖👌✌👍😎

You talk too much without showing anything useful.
