Congratulations on your new shop. Communication is always a problem with builders even if they speak English but I found that "sign language" or drawing the problem tends to get through. Your seal for your garage door, if you can find some 1/4 inch thick 6 inch wide and the length of your door rubber strip and fold it over so the the 2 edges touch and you can make a P out of the rubber strip. The flat piece of the P would be screwed to the bottom of the roller using washers to spread the tension of the screws. At the high end will flatten out and seal tight while the low end of the door will deform enough to seal that end as well. The rubber being just 1/4 inch thick will need to be replaced every few years but if you used any thicker rubber it might not deform and seal nicely. Thanks for posting

Thank you! Yeah Ive got to figure something out soon, the other day I was working in there and was joined by two lizards having a disagreement that ran right under lol

Love how you articulate so well. Have learned allot on this and your electrical videos. I noticed you installed a mini split in the background in one of your other videos. How effective do you think the double bubble insulation has been for you? I'm in process of building a 30x60 shop and you have convinced me that I MUST have that installed. Just curious of how happy you are with that decision and how the mini split is performing. I'm in Arizona so I will probably add additional insulation. Would you agree double bubble is better than say a normal 6mil vapor barrier! Also, LOVE LOVE the new channel and the two vehicles for you and your wife. Anyway, any comments or "wish you would have done" issues related to your building would be GREATLY appreciated. DON'T stop the videos !!! The subscriptions will come I promise !!!! All the best.

@HiddenCreekHomestead

Жыл бұрын

In The Shop TV 1 second ago Thanks so much for the kind words and vote of confidence! The double bubble is bear minimum. My reasons for using it were pretty simple - mainly, a vapor barrier. Its humid here in the south and even a few degree difference from inside to outside temps will cause the interior of the building to sweat profusely, thus causing rust, premature failure, and the obvious moisture on the floors, your expensive projects and tools etc. As for insulation, its barely an R2 value. It DOES help but would be inadequate in climates that have extremes. Spray foam is obviously fantastic at insulating but I hate it for the expense, and it’s atrociously ugly to look at. The only way to do it (in my opinion) is put wall covering up, encapsulating the foam and then running surface electric (conduit etc). But man… talk about expense. My mini split along with a fan on the floor (eventually an industrial ceiling fan) keeps my shop cool and comfortable in this southern heat… not COLD but cool and comfortable. If I had spray foam… Id be able to hang meat in there lol. We’ll see how the heat pump does in the winter but our average cold temp is 55 so I don’t predict I’ll have any issues. Thanks for the great comment and for watching BOTH channels. Its greatly appreciated.

The concrete slab is square so as long as the bottom rails are placed on the edges, it all lines up. They do square the bottom rails before anchoring anyway which is what matters. As long as they are square, the rest of the building falls in line. Also, the metal framing is somewhat flexible which can allow for slight variances.

We’re in a hot climate too (South Carolina). To be honest, it only insulates a little, mainly by preventing radiant heat on the metal siding from penetrating.

@intheshoptv

11 ай бұрын

(Replying from my other channel) It definitely helps with temps and its great at preventing condensation. Obviously its not comparable to true insulation. Things I would have done differently are - they have a rolled insulation just like this that is actually a fiberglass product. I would have went that route as its not much more money. Spray foam is SO expensive that it would take over a decade to recoup the out of pocket lay out. Not to mention its ugly which would now require even more expense of adding an interior wall covering. I also have a fully framed man door which means there is a 2 1/2” lip that you have to step over. Kind of a pain when moving heavy stuff should have went with a standard steel door, although I can and will change that easily in the future. Vertical siding… WORTH every penny! Dirt and debris slide right off whereas horizontal siding accumulates dirt moisture and mold on the top of each “rib”. Also the vertical orientation requires the building to be constructing with horizontal cross framing instead of just vertical truss frames found on horizontal sided structures. Building is WAY stronger. Please consider subscribing to my In the Shop TV channel. Thanks for watching!

Right- I only say that from the perspective that I'd rather do it myself and be accountable to the result.

It is not EZ for someone to work for someone keeps complaining a lot for any reason.

When one spends $30,000 on a building, one tends to be critical. That said, it is not a customer’s responsibility to make things “easy” for a builder. It is the builders responsibility to build something correctly, as per plans. I hardly complained over the 3 day build, but there is an EASY way to avoid ANY customer complaints. Do it right and don’t take shortcuts and you’ll never here a peep out of me.

Framing being out-of-square and doors sticking is not reasonable. I'm with @HiddenCreekHomestead on this one.

You would think they’d have better representation in the work force instead of a subcontractor from another country. At least one English speaking person for customer relations.

I do think there should be one representative per crew that can effectively communicate with the customer.

Had the same issue with my roof. I dealt with workmanship issues years after the fact. They worked hard, no question, but there was no "adult supervision."

this guy is one of the worst clients to have bc they don't let you work bc they think they know

I would have been left with all those mistakes if I didn’t say anything. Maybe thats ok with you but for 30k, I want things right.

Thank you

Every person who clicked on this video did so because they wanted to know how much did it cost?

I realize I am so not tech savvy. But I don't know what a pinned comment is. And with all due respect I cannot see why you wouldn't just say it in the video. How hard would that be if you already have the camera rolling? I just really think a lot of viewers would feel the same. Like the majority. No hate on you. I don't have the talent to make videos like you guys. But I do think you would get more views if the price was included in the video itself. I think any audience would agree. Live long and prosper.

@@TNCowboy2012 it means if you click on the comments, it’s literally the first one. I didn’t include the price because the video is not about what it cost to build. Its about the building itself. You can find many videos that specifically address the cost of metal buildings by searching for that phrase. Maybe I’ll make a video about all of the costs associated with this build one day.

There’s an overrating of Latin immigrant workers out there. Totally not the case, have seen their sloppiness up close a number of times.

I’ve worked along some that are fantastic and some that are dismal, like everyone else I suppose. My gripe is how can you send out a crew of workers that cant communicate with the customer at ALL?

@chrisc5726

@@HiddenCreekHomestead I believe as customers it wouldn’t hurt to ask who they’re sending. I usually ask for crew leader’s name and phone number so I can call and introduce myself before they make presence in my property, regardless of nationality.

Consider where these guys are from. The structures they build in their countries fall down. Literally. They consider half ass as quality.

Only hire people that clearly speak your language so you can communicate effectively. 🇺🇸👊🏻🇺🇸 local companies as well. A lot of these guys do shit jobs and travel all over changing names as they go.

My apologizes i should not assume. i miss understood when you said you had a hard time communicating. We have a roofing company in missouri that does the same called Allen roofing the owner and the people that come out to sell you. Then when the crew gets there not one speaks english. Very annoying
