You have to be one of the most entertaining youtubers, with excellent quality videos and really high quality builds. Please post more!! I regularly wonder when the next video is coming!
hey man, love the work would love to see some behind the scenes stuff if your down to do that, more content is better right? "what can go wrong?" top 10 famous last words.
Bought me a shirt. I like to think, in some small way, I am contributing to the development of a new DSM entry: Post Traumatic Gas Tank Repair Disorder. Awareness is the first step to finding a cure, you know.
This has to be my favorite channel! Ronnie, please do your best to upload more! You're videography and editing are amazing! Thanks for putting things on the internet worth watching!
As an ex carport technician, please consider a few things to ensure your safety: *Put in stoppers at the end of the tracks, there's a risk that it flies out the back if you open it overly enthusiastically. *Install a horizontal brace from one track to the other at the end of the tracks that keeps the them from drifting apart - which would possibly dump a door onto you or your current project. The angle iron will work to fasten it onto, just have it as low as possible while making sure the door clears it. *Brace the door midway up as well, as wide doors tend to sag while open and tweak the rollers. At best, it's not going to seal properly from weather, at its worst it will pull the rollers out of their bracket.
I've worked with these since i was 14, and i agree. proper quality doors comes with windbraces when they're this wide, usually in every other segment depending on how tall they are
@@janeswitzke5159 After I looked on Google I went to his PAtreon page and there is a blurry picture (I'm not a patreon) titled "Editing underway. So I'll guees we won't have to wait any longer. Thank you for your answer.
As a huge fan and the owner of a concrete and masonry business it was fun to see you tackle that side of the project yourself. You did an excellent job. Our business doesn't scale well down to projects that size and i tend to not provide quotes but instructions on how to DIY in an attempt to create goodwill for future projects instead of angry/confused faces.
@@bigdwook973 its not that simple his worker doesn't have insurance that's asking to put his men under the bus if the customer is used to pulling cons for free work done ive been that guy lol the legal system cost more that eating the cost.
You know what the best part of your videos is? They highlight all the mistakes and terrible decisions that goes along with DIYing stuff. 99% of videos make it look so easy and have a tendency to make you feel like an idiot when you can't do something perfectly the first time. I swear, I can't replace a spark plug without something going wrong and costing me another hour of work
Very nice work! FYI, if you still haven't put siding on, you can increase the shear strength of the OSB by increasing the amount of nails on the perimeter of each panel up to 2" OC. You'll probably want to make sure each edge has a full 1.5" of bearing surface (a full stud width) when you put in that many nails, though, to prevent splitting. It's mostly limited by the nails ripping through the board, so more nails = more surface area that has to rip. Also short panels like this can benefit from seismic hold downs even just for wind, because it keeps the entire panel from rotating independently and pulling through the sill bolts. You can probably re-use the same bolts you already have in place for this.
Additionally, pulling the building back into place when you address the other walls will help a lot. Getting shear strength in the back and side walls is a good idea. Might as well do it if/when you take the siding off.
I initially came to your channel for the car content then realized I absolutely adore your filmmaking style and sense of humor! Great video as always. you manage to bring levity and interest to the most mundane tasks. I learn a lot and laugh even more. We all also appreciate your humility and willingness to let us into the WHOLE process, failures and all. Which as we know NO project goes without SOME form of mistake. GREAT JOB!
Man. I have a garage I wanted so badly when I bought the house, but havent been in it other than to grab the mower for years. Its this kind of stuff that inspires me to stop being a baby and get out there to turn it into what I want. Thanks, my man. EDIT: I also feel completely gaslit by the light switcharoo. Worth it.
Once again loving your humor, editing, showing the good stuff off the process, not super overexplaining how you solved relatively trivial crap for 10 minutes, love your videos M8
I really needed to see this. My Dad died a few years ago and left me his shop. It's huge, it's old, and it needs a ton of work. I've been very overwhelmed, but watching this makes me feel like it's time to get started. Great content as per usual 👍
Keep the water out from above and below the building and make sure the electrical installation doesn't self-ignite, and the rest probably isn't going to be time-sensitive. Good luck!
@@dratilhelvetedotlol Those are actually my two biggest fears. It's got old electrical, a leaky roof, and it's made of wood. Insurance companies won't touch it.
If you're not going to replace those other existing walls or put OSB sheathing on the inside to act as shearing, you should probably retrofit them with diagonal bracing on the inside, either with wood like you did on that small wall next to the garage door, or with angle iron. You can just cut a saw kerf diagonally through all the studs and slip it in and then drill holes through the angle to attach it to the studs.
as someone a novice when it comes to carpentry and someone who is about to start a career in construction, I really appreciate your humility to show not just the process and such but also your mistakes and how you fixed them. It takes courage to fuck shit up and keep going and that's something everyone can appreciate.
We had the same problem with our garage in Houston. My contractor pulled it straight by hooking a come-along to an oak tree in our backyard and pulling it straight. Very much like what you did. Then he replaced a few rafters and reinforced some other parts of the frame. Beware, the extra wide garage door will tempt your garage to turn into a parallelogram once again. Keep an eye on it.
Don't forget the zip tape for the zip board! So happy to see we FINALLY got another installment!! keep up the great work! Tied best channel on RU-vid with M539 Restorations IMO!
A double wide roller shutter door would be perfect for this, no hangers required and you gain headroom on the sides. Bonus is it remains fully enclosed so doesnt get covered in grinding dust while you're working in there with the door open.
My thought was to get roller track that hugs the roof. My dad's garage has a side mounted opener and track for the door to hug the wall as it opens and leaves no overhanging obstacle.
@@LovelessAndroidunfortunately, that would require custom tracks and a spring calculated to match. That conversion is about as expensive as getting a new door, with more drawbacks.
How is it that most youtube videos seem to be way too long but yours are always over too soon? You are an amazing story teller and I look forward to every one of your videos. Keep up the good work and good luck on the rest of the shop build!
Your content alone is amazingly entertaining, but your editing is just the cherry on top! Love what you do dude! Cracking job on the wall/door. Looks awesome!
I hate waiting so long between episodes but it's so worth it. Editing and perfect comedic timing are what make me continue to come back lol, can't wait to see what you do next!
Ronald, that was one of the most entertaining and humorous videos I've seen in a while. Great production values and good writing. Congrats on the new door. (and not dying)
Ronnie, your videos make me so happy. Your attention to detail, humor, and editing style are simply superb. Thank you so much for making the wonderful content you do. I'll be eagerly awaiting the next one. Can't wait!
Hi Ronald, you can get roller track with a different curve angle to keep the garage door close to the roof and keep that hard won ceiling height you created.
Your content is awesome Ronny. Love the self deprecating humour and your showing your mistakes and learnings along the way. You deserve 10 times the subscription you have. Can't wait for the next video. 🙂
I loved your workshop renovation videos. It's been so long I forgot about ya (sorry), but you did such a good job on the thumbnail I was like...someone is tearing down a perfectly good workshop, gotta watch that.
My torsion spring recently broke and after a little DIY research I came to the same conclusion as you. Not worth saving $200 to risk missing body parts or possibly death.
Back when that was built we all used diagonal boards on all sides set to pull on its self when racked by wind. Great video, Just need more of them more often lol.
genuinely out of every youtuber i watch the effort and effects you put into your video thats just your own comedy is my favorite , the little snippets of your self is hilarious , the other one you did in the dark when you were doing the lights was top tier lol
Best content ever ! Funny, smart, educative, humble and authentic. Don't stop ! But please be careful with all these heavy stuff falling on your head...protect yourself !
Dude, I first started watching you when you bought the fiero. The amount of video skill you've gained while still keeping it authentic to you is incredible! You're an inspiration!
Good to see you continuing along with your projects. I got really excited at the sight of the Honda Interceptor in the first part of the video as my father has his VF500 still, hopefully there'll be a video on that in the future once you have your shop up and running.
FYI, you can also buy concrete grinding discs for 4”angle grinders at pretty much any store that sells grinding discs (hardware, Tractor Supply, etc). Just for future knowledge.
Absolutely love the little Easter eggs in crazy stuff with time travel and things you do in many of your videos! Ronnie being there to greet you at 2 minutes 18 seconds, priceless!
From cars to essentially learning how to structurally support a building I think you’re the actual best example of the RU-vid guy who just doesn’t understand skill limitations 🤷♂️ I’ll wait for the videos where you teach us how to fly commercial aircraft’s 👍
There are neoprene gaskets that can be installed to the bottom of the door to exclude water. Raven is one manufacturer. Or you can get direct fix "plastic" bunding that will give you a mini speed bump at the door
as someone who has done drainage for years i suggest "drain tiles" for your gutters to run as much water away from your foundation if possible. and making a low point for water to run to only has to be a few cm lower it will work better than a drain cut into the driveway medium to heavy rain will flow over it and they need cleaned very often almost weekly if you have tree near by hopefully this helps so far looks like a true Carpender is at work cant wait to see how it looks fixed up
Building work. For me, about as exciting as watching paint dry...............unless it's Mr Finger doing the building! Yet another brilliant video, with several laugh out loud moments. This is one of the best RU-vid channels bar none!
You've given me so much confidence to attempt to modify one wall of my shop. It has one single-pane window that I want to replace with some double-paned Pella windows I got for free. Time to start planning for the summer!
It can look like a daunting task to replace a rotting foot rim, but it's actually not that hard to replace it section by section if you have three long jacks.
Well young man. Glad to see you back again. I am a retired CARPENTER JOINER here in the UK and let me tell you, you did yourself proud with that workmanship and would put many to shame who I've worked with who call themselves JOINERS. Well done you. 10 out of 10. See you soon again I HOPE. 👍👍👍 I also own 1985 HONDA VF 500 F11 like you do. But you call them INTERCEPTORS.
Seriously so proud of you and impressed with your tenacity. Absolutely love your content and can’t wait to see all the fantastic projects you get to do in your hard-fought-for garage.
I love the videos on this workshop build... As much as I would love to say a weekly video would be epic, as a RU-vid creator myself, I know how much time must go into making these and I would rather see the content quality remain for frequency! Will be buying a T-Shirt for sure!
A great installment of This Old Garage. You made it look deceptively easy, completely unlike attempting your own automotive paint job. 😁 Looking forward to seeing how you tackle shoring up the back wall. Been enjoying my Ronnie's Auto Shop shirt. Thanks for sharing!
I have no knowledge of how to do ANY of the stuff you can, but man you make it so fun to watch and learn! The editing is so good and little jokes here and there always make me laugh.
