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.

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.

@haphazard1342

6 ай бұрын

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.

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.

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!

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 KZread with M539 Restorations IMO!

You made me laugh out loud numerous times in this one! Great work Ronald, thank you for chronicling your build experience for us all :)

It’s finally here

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.

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

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.

As somebody who had been installing garage doors for a long time. I am glad you called somebody to install the spring.

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.

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.

Closed cell spray foam will add tons of rigidity to the structure. Also if you sheath the back wall inside with plywood it will help too. 😊

From cars to essentially learning how to structurally support a building I think you’re the actual best example of the KZread guy who just doesn’t understand skill limitations 🤷‍♂️ I’ll wait for the videos where you teach us how to fly commercial aircraft’s 👍

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.

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'm surprised you didn't get angled garage door tracks so that the door when open would be parallel/flush with the roof after all that work.

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!

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

If you are insulating use plywood sheathing for the back wall to prevent the garage to go out of square.

I would remove all sidings, install plywood and redo the siding using vinyl. I would also spray foam or at least fiberglass insulate the entire garage and use sprayfoam only on ceilings.

It's like watching myself work. You have no idea how much joy it brings me to watch someone else drop sheet goods on their effing toes.

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!

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.

How did i miss this episode. Great build Ronnie. Loved it. It brought me back to learning when i did my garage doors on my own.

I admire your willingness to do the work. This was a cool video and well done.

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!

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

Dude, I LOVE your humor. Thanks for the laughs. Your editing keeps the audience engaged and you tell a great story while teaching.

I love the videos on this workshop build... As much as I would love to say a weekly video would be epic, as a KZread 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!

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!

Both sides were two garage doors and the back as well, we spent weeks trying to brace it up. Every Year we tried to replace new parts but finally a tornado destroyed it. Only good thing that came out of the tornado that year.

We love everything you do Ronald!

Where you at man!

Gotta love Ronnie's sense of humor. Dude could make the saddest person smile

Consider adding some sheathing to the inside of the rear wall of the garage for additional shear strength, if you are looking for a way to add more. This would allow a solid wall surface for any shelving or mounting you’d like to do in the future. Nice video!

I can watch this guy work on anything and be entertained. Keep up the good work.
