Jay, I didn’t say this to you because I want something from you. I don’t need anything from anyone what I need is my wife back and she’s already gone to heaven so I just love you show I just wish you’d think just a little bit faster not faster but better before you make a move because I watch you do things twice as hard as you should have to, I’m gonna try and help you before you do things or I see you do something I’m gonna give you my two cents to see how you are if you use it or not by the way, did you close in the back of the new garage that you did because I don’t know how your weather goes and maybe it might come in that way and then your floors will be all wet and everything so I thought maybe you’d kind of closer in what a waterproofitem TX 111 is probably a very good you could paint that black try that little expensive but it will work and nobody’s gonna see it but you have a good day Jay God bless you and your family

I think you're getting really good at doing the voice over when showing the time lapse! Great videos!

Great job man. I think if it were me I would have put those panels on the inside of the wall cavities so that they ran full length. It definitely would mess with my OCD to have some of those gaps covered up and some open, but it's your shed and you get to make it how you want lol.

looks like your rail supports need some angled supports as well. When you open your door they flex outward.

How far a Florida boy has come. When I first started watching Perkins about 4/5 years ago I was like who is this smart ass transplant lol. Being a local to WNC it gives me confidence of what the beauty of this area and the people in it can do for someone. Welcome home bud. ❤

I would store all the flammables in the new addition. I'd make one bay of the main garage a cutting and sanding area and the other bay for fabrication. Put nail, screws, glues, caulk and other fasteners on the fabrication side. Store all the wood around and other materials on the back wall.

Love to watch when you screw up. Most of us hide it but you use the opportunity to let us learn from your willingness to share a screw up. and it is a hoot. Thanks

Happy Belated Birthday, Jay - have a drink or a coffee on me - thanks for all you do, I admire your craftsmanship.

Great job, I would have no gaps in the outside panels because of all the critter activity in between the inside panels it’s just an invitation for home building 😊

@user-jo5le4og6n

Honestly, critters will make their way in unless he pours a floor. Gaps are more beneficial in this scenario. My great grandfather built a smokehouse with a poured floor, CMU around the perimeter, frame on 16” center with lap siding and tin nailed on the inside ceiling and walls. No varmints getting to his hams and beef!

Looks kind of like a corn crib or an area for curing tobacco. Industrial in a rural way. Very nice.

First… move internal switch. Coat hanger can easily open button there through door edge. Good job.

Jay, some thick mil visqueen stapled to the interior framework (back and front) would help keep the rain out...akin to what you did with the smart siding by the shelves. Additionally, a piece of ground rated wood/rail road tie would make a good footer for the garage door since you did not want to pour one.

Stephanie, we see you getting slimmer, and you look great! Great job! Inspiring!

Mount the third light high on the outside wall shining toward your old garage and the light will shine with the garage door up or down

“I get to paint” is something I never thought I’d hear you say! Looks great brother. Maybe add a barn quilt?

I agree with those suggesting sealing the exterior walls. Blowing rain will do a number through those gaps.

When you put your plywood on your shelves/work benches, let it overhang by like 2 inches. Makes clamping things down but easier.

Looks great. One thing you might want to add is to close off the slats near the garage door button. Just seems someone can open the door in 2 seconds from outside with something to push the inside button. Thieves always and more work to projects.

You built you quite the shop there. My own 2 cents worth I think I would put the smart side panels in the back also to help make it a little more weather tight just in case you chose to work in it. I think you will enjoy the extra space for sure. Keep up the great content.

That's a fine looking add on! However I think it would look even better if you painted the underside of the rafters. You have done a really great job doing most of it by yourself!!!

Looks great Jay. I would add some screen in the soffit to keep out birds and maybe a board at the rear to keep out critters.

@markstipulkoski1389

5 ай бұрын

Thinking the same. Lot's of openings and cozy spots for critters to nest...birds, bats, squirrels, mice, spiders, wasps, bees. Still a nice little shed.

Jay, my only suggestions are to paint the front outside face of the shed and garage door the same color as your old/existing garage. Also i would paint the inside of the shed white on the walls and shelves to make it brighter, this will really help you see and find things in the nighttime when the lights are on. Other than that, well done and i am looking forward to seeing your next project.

I think the contrast of colors w/slats give it a sleek, modern vibe! Love the black! More importantly....Stephanie may have picked those colors🤷🏼‍♀️ You know....she designs; he builds.😄

Right where you were standing before you got off of the shelf from the front you could easily put down a couple of pieces of wood across those Joist on the bottom to store long lengths of exterior material

Looks majestic! Like the Smokey Mountains on a cool foggy fall morning.

Other shop makeovers I’ve seen put in storage units on locking casters. So they are portable and adaptable to changing needs. Plywood boxes / cabinet boxes with doors or drawers for storage. Or metal garage / tool storage units you can buy ready to use. Work table on casters, scrap wood organizers on casters. Mitre saw station, drill press station, band saw or lathe station, battery charging station, wall mount drill holders, vacuum system. Kyle from RR Builders designed a work trailer that was awesome. Michael Alm (KZreadr) is a woodworker & furniture builder, he built his custom shop. If everything has a home, it’s just as easy to put it down in its home rather than just leave out and have to move it twice. It’s a big job but take one task at a time and before long you’ll have it worked out. As much as you can get up off the floor the better. ❤Love the channel. Happy 2024 Jason & Stephanie🎉

By now you probably know the battery back-up is for when there's a power outage, so you can still get your car out of your garage. Great job. I'm really impressed. I love the way you left gaps on the outer walls... and I was thinking, if you put up shelves you'd want to cover the interior walls. Which, of course, you did. Can't wait to see your new shop... coming soon. ;)

Jay, for the new shop: Depending on what work you are doing. -Good placement of a table saw with out feed table -Miter saw station -Router station/table

I am in Florida and I always wanted to move/retire in NC. Every time I watch one of these videos or the Perkins Brother's videos it encourages me to keep trying persuade my wife to find a piece of land up there and start building something. I am definitely not a amazing builder as you are but hopefully growing up in a farm when I was young gave me enough to do "some of that stuff". LOL So keep posting your very good videos because I am sure there plenty of people like me who just need that kind of motivation to start something. Thanks again.

"well-- they were supposed to be 1 inch." - Love the honesty!!!!

Jay great job! I love your videos. The only suggestion (coming from experience) is putting in a separate door. If you ever have a power failure or broken spring, getting in will be a pain in the asset! Keep up the great videos.

@stevebloch3184

In that scenario you can run a stiff wire over the top of the door and snag the safety release on the inside. Takes a couple of tries, unless you just get lucky, but then you just pull the release and open the door.

It's gonna look cool at night with the light shining through.

Nice job Jay, hubby hung his led lights (hyper light similar) with a chain and pot/cup hook, easy to replace if they stop working at the same height, he’s also got steady rack bike racks for wall mounting the mtb’s, and nice work on the angle bracing which is perfect for storing conduit, straight edges, levels etc. 💪 Shell 🇦🇺

Honestly a big "building jays way" sign in black iron or welded steel would look KILLER on the side of the shed. Would blend in well enough to not be an eyesore coming up to the house but still let everyone know its "your" shed... This whole "build" turned out awesome man. Are there any other big projects you plan on doing this year?

@@Building_Jays_Way a full deck rebuild would be insanely nice. Would you go back with the same wood materials or one of the newer products like on Erik’s deck with the pvc decking and railing system? Also any layout changes? Sounds like a good project series…

Jay, When you start clearing out the main garage and once all the walls are exposed, think about making a French Cleat system. It will allow you to make your own holders for what you to hang up olus the option of being able to move it whenever you want. Great job on the shed.

The biggest problem with having a pile of shelving is a temptation to fill them full of stuff that you think will come in handy eventually but never do and if they're in boxes, finding them when or if you do need them

It's going to be interesting to see how the interior fairs with the air gaps. To me I'm thinking that air flow is going to help prolong the sidings lifespan but also keep the inside dry. But maybe not and it's the opposite? Who knows!

Very nice, love the horizontal slat look. Add a ceiling fan and you’re all set.

I'd just maybe paint the roof underside with the cream colour of the garage wall, I think it would tie together much better. But that's a minor detail.

Looks great. For your shop I recommend making use of French cleats. They are cheap to make, incredibly strong, and can be organized and reorganized a million ways.

Great work. I woulda left the garage door white to give it some contrast but that's just me. Thumbs up

The struggle is real but the shed is the deal...I almost snorted my cappo froth since when have you ever liked painting lol. Stephanie's smile as you explained the doorframe entrance was priceless. Blimming nice work Jay.

Jay that looks great! Nice job.

Love the look. All it needs is for the exterior soffit to be painted black.

I think it looks amazing and very practical. For me I'd want to paint under the eaves black too. Great job Jay. Elly UK

Jay….you did a FABULOUS job!!! I enjoyed watching every minute of your creation! Figured it was going to be a “lean-to” type of shed. But you really took it to the next level! Really turned out great! 👏🏼👍🏼

great job jay looks awesome.

Hey I watch your videos all the time and you do a great job.

Seeing you without a hat is like seeing a different person haha, so used to the hat I guess. Love the videos!

Absolutely love watching your channel and Perkins builder brothers. You crack me up. I think it would be awesome to work with you guys. The quality of work is awesome. I use to do garage doors, paint, and finishing work than became a Deputy Sheriff but still did some work on the side. I'm retired now.

You might want to eventually cover all of the siding gaps to keep mice and insects out. You could use black painted furring strips or Zip tape on the inside. Also, you could put plexiglass on some to let light in.

looks great, pays off to be a builder. One thing on my wish list would now be: a door either on the inside or outside (garage to garage). Missing one on my own garage, just saying.

Jay, I just want to say you are amazing, I so admire your positive and “get it done” attitude to everything. Respect from Finland.

WOW amazing work sir. Well done. Your getting pretty good at this KZread thing. I hope you have a great 2024. Cant wait for the next video.

Nice look on it. Heck, I probably would have painted the three unfinished sides and put the pre-finished side facing inward. But, then that factory finish is really best with the extra paint on it and all the weather hitting it. I see you also added panels inside on the one wall. So, a little lees impact to having a painted wall. Less painting (but you do like painting, hehe) and the inside of the shed would be lighter for you.

That actually turned out really nice.

Jay, another great video. You can’t beat yourself up too bad for making mistakes, we all do it’s our claim to fame as human beings. It is true that working by yourself can sometimes lead to more issues, but you have a great helper in Stephanie. My Wendy has done a lot of the same for me, as my official ground crew. Looks great, lot of work bud

This project came out way better than I was expecting. I like the slat walls!

Jay if i were you, if you haven't already, put a small panel around the inside opener so people cannot press the inside opener from outside using a stick or crowbar. Just abit of added safety. No point having the secure garagedoor if you can open the door from the outside.
