You did a great job. I was a tile and marble contractor so floated cement to make shower walls for the tile or granites which is like what you did basically to stucco your shop which sure is hard work. Looks like you put in a lot of power wall outlets which sure makes it easier when working with power in the shop.

Once you get the first run of decking on the roof, and if you have access to a front end loader, you can lift the rest of your decking up even with the edge of the roof. Eliminates running up & down the ladder. Nice job by the way. I built most of my shop by myself too.

Bravo!! Good source of encouragement to others. Well done.

Thanks for the video, the moment I saw the conduit size I felt for you. Great job

Older video, just found your video of building your shop, I Congratulate you on the work you did, you tackled something alot of folks wouldn't attempt to do, you built a very nice shop and I know you are proud of it, hope you enjoy your shop and good luck with all your future projects, SUBSCRIBED.

You're my hero dude. Phenomenal job tackling this by yourself for the most part, great inspiration to possibly build something like this in the future.

The main thing to remember when installing an out-building subpanel is you must install separate ground rods (most AHJ require two) and do not use the bonding screw. You want your EGC and neutral to be separate on a subpanel. The only place to use the bonding screw is at the main service panel. Also, you can save yourself from drywall finishing headaches if you carefully plan your receptacle locations so they do not wind up on a seam. It is much harder for a novice to mud/tape over an outlet and keep the wall flat and smooth. Keep your electrical box cut outs tight by running the cutout blade along the inside edge of the box (not the outside), but angle it slightly away from the box. It will create a "soft" edge that will "pop" right over the box and remain tight around the edges so there is no risk of gaps when you install the covers. This also helps prevent "run away" of the cutting tool due to the rotation of the cutting blade. Not sure if you considered adding a small 1/2 bath (powder room). Plumbing can be tricky, but you'll wish you had it when you need to use the bathroom while covered in saw dust and/or grime. Wives definitely hate it when you track your filth through their clean house. ;-P

Very nice job! I’m assuming the walls are 10’ high. Just a suggestion if ever doing this again, the lower 1-2’ of he wall assembly is always the most vulnerable to rot or termite infiltration, not sure what climate zone you are in, but if they are 10’ you can rip a 4x8 sheet of pressure treated plywood in half and use that as your bottom course horizontal and then osb vertically. Your only looking at the cost difference of 5-6 sheets of plywood vs osb for a significant future risk reduction…still a great job! Oh yeah, you mentioned spray foaming the roof rafters… there is very little benefit to that with a vented attic and will still need o insulate above the ceiling. If it was a conditioned sealed attic yes, but with soffit and ridge vents, save the money and just insulate the ceiling joists. Look up whatever climate zone you are in and go with that r value. It’s only 850 sf so I’d go with rolls or batts opposed to blow in.

@@puppygadget3189 GC here from Canada. Reading through this comment, keep in mind that for me, spending more on specialized materials saves the customer money through labour, so the perspective is very different. For example, we'd use Hilti bolts instead of J-Bolts in the concrete because it's much faster to drill exactly where you want instead of custom drilling each hole for the plates. Foundation: Generally you'd want a deeper footing as well as a vapour barrier under the concrete. Adding more gravel under the slab will prevent heaving. Usually what we'd do is dig the footing leaving a small opening for the skid steer to go in, saving you the time of wheelbarrow-ing stuff around. You'd also want a tracked skidsteer (compact track loader) to reduce the wheel ruts of moving around. Having one person with a laser level will speed this process up and also make it more level, saving money on concrete. You can also use depth stakes in the concrete to ensure that the pour/screeding is level or at the grade that you want. Framing: You want a treated bottom plate. Especially considering that there is no drain inside (which I'd also probably add, but that adds cost). One way to also save some time/money would be to put the windows exactly 4ft and make the 4'x4' up so you can just cut the sheathing in half and use them in other places. Bump the walls to 12ft and you could use a sheet and a half to do the whole wall. Making the building multiples of 4 in general will also simplify many aspects of the build. Roof: Roofing sucks. There's no single part about it that doesn't suck. However, if you live in a calm area with very little wind, we found that building a little stand (sort of like how he used the ladder to slide them up) to hold the plywood up at grabbing distance while you're on the roof minimizes the amount of time spent going up and down the ladder. Load up the stand with a bunch of sheets and then grab them one by one. As for putting the wrap on the roof, use chalk lines to simplify things and keep them straight. Same with the shingles. The lines on the tar paper or whatever system you use are never quite straight or the same from roll to roll. We mostly use the Zip system for the walls and roof now though. Exterior: He's right, stucco is incredibly labour intensive. I'd probably just use wood shiplap (pre-finishing before putting it up) or vinyl. Additionally I'd put flashing above the windows to reduce water ingress. Conduit: I've seen some electricians put large straight sections together and then attach a sponge to a piece of string. The string then attaches to your wires. Vacuum the sponge string through the conduit and then pull the wires through. Drywalling: Drywalling is unpleasant. I'd recommend using a vapour barrier to prevent moisture from getting in and turning it to a paste. Put some paint on edge of the electrical boxes and press it against it to leave marks exactly where they are. Then cut them out and they'll be bang on. That being said I'd just use 3/8 plywood instead of the drywall, especially in a shop so you can just attach things to the walls easier. Additional notes: I'd probably have put 4-5 more 240v and much more 120v outlets in there. This allows you to rearrange your big tools or add to them. We also use a CAD software to pre-design everything beforehand. Sketchup Make 2017 is free. This takes a lot of the thinking and problem solving out of the actual construction process. It also minimizes material waste and allows you to walk yourself through the build process beforehand. Reading back, this sounds like I'm looking down on his work, but I'd like to stress that it's the opposite. I'm really impressed with how he did things and the vast, vast majority of what he did was incredibly good craftsmanship. I do these things day in and day out. Kudos to him. He clearly did a lot of research and planned this out very well. I'm sure I'm missing things as well.

Great work bro.. Iam in CA n planning to build about the same size garage at the back of my house, u gave me the great motivation to do on your own. I have few classic classic car which Iam restoring n not to have a good garage makes it very difficult to work on. I should have done this long time ago when materials were cheap but some time in your life u just have to live n lean. Well am sure u took the permit out because thats what it request over here n depending the ares too. Yes permit n how much it cost u..thx n keep the good work...

Good job buddy. My hats off to you. I wanna do something like this but it is intimidating for sure. My property is not that big so might have to settle for a one car garage but big enough to open the doors on a car and fit around the front and back when the door is closed. Also need space for tools so need a couple of feet for that too. So far I built a carport and made a few mistakes from that but at least I learned. Only thing stopping me now is cash flow😂. I might get permits from city. We’ll see😂

Well done!

Great Job!!

Looks great. I would've put the sheathing on the inside though, then the drywall would be much stronger and you could hang things nearly anywhere.

amazing job!!! congrats....

all I'd need is this, no house needed😏 run plumbing to it and is set. I too want to build most off it on my own, but for hooking up the electrical, and roofing, that I'd let PRO handle. then you get the satisfaction of knowing YOU built it.

Looks good man

Great work , for me I would want 28 wide for room around vehicles

looks good. I would of put insulation in the walls of the room for the air compressor, to dampen that noise better.

well done man! so what do you do about the gaps between the wall and the ceiling? I could see light coming in was curious if you put mesh or chicken wire or something? Great build im about to start mine - was debating on the trusses too, how much did yours end up costing?

Great job for a DIYer. Almost Nobody DIY builds trusses. Shops are supposed to have metal roofs😀

I want is something exactly like that but a house on topWith a metal staircase on the side and a little secret access door somewhere between the garage in the room😅 The only thing it’s missing is a pit

Nice build and awesome job doing it yourself. 💪🔨 Do you mind tell us where you got your plans? Thx

Looks good, though the sheathing on the upper corners of garage doors should be applied horizontally . Two e'lls on corners and T in middle for shear loading.

Nice video, are you installing insulation on the rafters above the ceiling? Looks great enjoyed the video and maybe one day I’ll build my own shop

Really good job !! I'm wondering why garage doors are almost always on the smaller walls... I'm beginning my garage within few weeks about same size as yours. but two garage doors on the large wall. Did you think about having a second floor or it has never been an option for you ? I still think about this not sure yet, got to decide in the coming days... I'm happy I bought an old international 434, its going to be perfect to dig for preparation of the concrete floor and to lift walls... is there anything you would have made differently ?

while running the wire should have also ran a water line, even if not wanting it at the time, that way it would be there for the future

Great idea for others! I already had a water line close to the shop however I did not put a water line through the foundation which I now regret. I still might put a sink in and just run the water through the side of the shop.

This is a nice build. The only thing I would have done differently is to use OSB board on the walls instead of sheet rock, this way it’s easier to hang things on them. Not the prettiest but totally functional. It’s comes to personal preference.

Vera Nice Congratulations from Brazil

Is there a reason you buried conduit vs just using UF-B (direct bury) wire? It seems like a lot of extra work for maybe some limited protection or future growth options. Pulling new wire through that looks almost impossible though. You can also get direct bury network cable.

You leave out the last few roofing joists and screw in a platform to hold the entire stack of plywood. Just remember to put posts under it before the forklift puts the stack up there.. Now all the sheeting us up there. Installing the 2nd row first is a breeze. And now you are walking on sheeting while installing the rest.

18:05 They make stronger 1/2 drywall that is designed for 24" OC ceilings that won't sag when insulation is installed over it... I feel your pain, I used 5/8 drywall in my garage because I had a second floor and wanted a fire block, 12' 5/8 drywall is heavy, plus my ceilings were over 12' so I had to get the extension for my drywall lift which made it over 5FT tall with a sheet lying flat. I made a jig to which allowed me to step up a sheet a foot at a time to 4 FT so my drywall lift could hook under it and lift it. I also used "blind mark" magnetic template to find and mark the electrical boxes, no measuring and very accurate that I used my oscillating saw to cut out the square openings rather than the rotozip.

Why stucco vs vinyl or steel siding?

Nice project. Only concern if anything at all is that those nails you put in the shingles were too close to the joints, wich is bad because water can get through them. But besides that everythin gelse looks great, good job.

Why didn't you install a vapor barrier on your ceiling since it's going to be insulated. Example 6 mil poly.

Salute to you

Nice

Was there drawings for this? what is the ceiling height?? Thank yo0u for the video!!

How did you cut the concrete?

Maybe insulate the compressor room walls to reduce noise.

I would not have put the air compressor tubing inside the walls. Plywood horizontal inside at floor level and drywall above, bottom of walls may take a beating and plywood will withstand it better. I like the pressure treated tip too on the outside wall, I'm assuming that will be ripped in the length/8' dimension so the bottom 2 foot is PT? Blocking inside the walls for hanging stuff, but that would require a lot of forethought of what you wanted to mount and where.
