Fantastic modular construction, Duca! But even more impressive is your care and concern for Roberta's health and well being. You two are adorable in your affection for each other and your mutual support. Small wonder all of your projects end up working out because, "you gotta do what you gotta do"! Thanks for a Sunday boost in my spirits!

They make a moisture barrier in a roll staples over the insulation & outer plywood. Even plastic could provide the protection from moisture.

Great video thank you! I would recommend painting the interior white it makes lighting so much better. It will take less lights and you will have much less dramatic shadows to contend with. My motto when building something is to always have more light when you're building than you'll have after its installed in place. No bad surprises that way.

Excellent progress. Love your Beatles story. I too was inspired by the early Beatles in high school, taught myself guitar and became a member of a Beatles cover band in high school and college.

La France a gagné un nouveau bricoleur! Tá ficando muito bom Mr. Bricolêro!

I love you guys! Been watching for a long time but if you don’t mind me saying, this particular build is painful to watch! I’m counting the days, as I’m sure your are, until your new boat is ready!!! Good luck and keep up the great work.

Hey guys, are you going to install a water proof membrane on the inside, so water vapour won’t penetrate the walls and freeze.

Duca, the double stud, can be the point the power cable is routed into the shop, keeping the insulation space, without a hole through. No quick way, for water to infiltrate the insulation. Best wishes from Northern Canada.

Nice.to.see.thw work...

You should be using a bread knife to cut up the insulation. It's too late now but you could have used bits of scrap to shim out the short wall where you made the mistake.

Looking terrific and done so quickly. Will make a fantastic workshop. Keep well and safe. James.

If you had used 1x4 instead of 2x4 material, it would be half as heavy and still plenty strong enough for your walls.

Hey Duca! About twenty five years ago my wife bought a used refrigerated box for her flower business. It was 8 foot deep by 6 foot wide by 7 foot high! The only issue was the ceiling in our basement was only 6 1/2 foot high! I was digging for a week! Cemented the floor then installed the box. It had a system of hooks imbedded in the panels that latched over pins that imbedded in slots in each panel top and bottom! Simple! An Allen key fit into each hook through the wall and locked the panels together, so simple and easy to disassemble and move when needed!

Silicone was made for any gaps you might have 😁

Love your attention to detail . . . particularly for a shop that will be broken down and moved at the next phase of this journey! There's a name for what you're going through, by the way. It's called the bend-it-to-fit-and-paint-it-to-match method of engineering.

This is really taking shape now. Duca, I didn't know you were into The Beatles. I also grew up with them. I used to go to a jam night in a pub with a mate (I'll call him Gordon) and we did "Come Together" and "I Saw Her Standing There". If you ever visit the UK, you should visit Liverpool where they came from. On my last visit to Liverpool, I visited a few landmarks including the Strawberry Fields gates. Just remember that we drive on the other side of the road.

Duca and Roberta: thank you both so much for this marvelous episode, as a DIY team, both are perfect. The ingenuity and skill Duca instructs us with is the best on any other sailing Utube channels. We use shims here when building a wooden structure for leveling. Plastic shims are on sale at the local Hardware store. I used cedar shingles back when, but using an Indonesian carving tool was marvelous. We think Roberta and Duca should start their own music group while in France. In 3 years you could surpass the Beatle's as a following, no question. You gotta do, what you gotta do! France has cloned a shitless chicken, you could gift the owners of your free rent lodging, then their children could play roundball without a mess. Best on this huge project and make sure you use the Sika. Thank you so much for the opportunity of joining BLINKIST, we are members of a local Book Club, they'll really be interested with your generosity.

À very, very great job Duca. Congratulations.

Duca, if you take a break from building, come over to Liverpool while you are in Europe. You can see the Beatles Museum, The Cavern Club where they played, you can visit Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane. You can even visit John Lennon House and Paul McCartney’s house where they grew up. You would love it.

Im sure someone has probably mentioned it, but with fiber insulations like that and rockwool, use a breadknife. The fibers dull razorblades so fast that its not worth trying to use an edge like that, but the serations of a breadknife work beautifully and its length allows you to work on its full thickness easily.

Relax this will work out well. Deep breath. You will overcome adversities. Keep up the great work

Duca, all these years I've been watching you do tricky stuff only to learn you are human and make errors from time to time. You may lose time off your schedule, but you gain the opportunity to improvise a solution. It is okay to consider the solution to be a change order in your build. Yeah, it happens all the time. And using the blades too chisel out the wood was fun for you. So far, it has been fun to watch you, Roberta, the chickens and goats. The paint roller in the ice bucket, and how you showed us, was LOL. I wanna see what you do for the roof! :¬) Webhead USA

Would make a great start for a tiny home when you get done with it as a workshop!

This should be your new business. A folding workshop. Maybe something for IKEA. The greatest heat loss is upwards. Since you are already under a roof, you can increase the insulation on top by approx. 300 mm

Your little shop is almost as big as my cabin and probably better insulated , yet temps like -25 are not uncommon here so I bet you'll be toasty

Hi Duca & Roberta. Your ventilation would have been better installed at the bottom of the walls. VOC's are heavier than air and therefore they will concentrate at floor level.

Duca, you can use flat brackets (maybe three or four inches in length) to attach one module to another that would add additional stability. The flat brackets would be installed horizontally, perhaps two brackets- a foot or two from the top and a foot or two from the bottom - or just one midway up from the bottom. The angle brackets is what I. have used to stabilize some freestanding shelf cabinets. Works great.EDIT: But when you build the roof, and attach it to the side modules, there will be no movement issues. The roof would act as gusset plates. :¬) Webhead USA

In another month you will not need it, it will be getting warm with spring already happen here it will not be long before it will start in central France If you are going to use the workshop for spraying then you will need the extractor fan low down while in air flow high, spray is heavy so it will always drop

Very nice. Will be a good work space.

Duca, I see your exhaust fans but no airs supply to replace what you are moving out. A opening with a grill over it. And a way to place a filter oVer it to keep the dust down on the air you are pulling in. Just a thought.

I am not gonna lie, kind of boring watching you construct your workshop but I love you guys and you’re doing a great job. Hang in there, and so will I.

You had a lot of short offcuts of wood laying around. Why didn't you use them to fill in that error gap? You didn't need the structural strength of a complete beam.

I know this seems silly. Couldn't you have built the inside of the van in the time it took you to build the work shop? You did that in the cold? Couldn't you have made the inside of the van the workshop?

Question: why are you making a small workshop inside a building, are you relocating it afterwards?

@OddLifeCrafting

4 ай бұрын

Because even though it is covered it is really humid here. And the way we built we can transfer to the boatyard in the future. 😅

You guys, why paint the outside walls - at least now? The shop is under cover so the bare wood should be fine. You can paint after you take it apart and reassemble for working on the boat. And, Cuca, why not use the short cutoffs to fill the space where you made the mistake instead of using one of your long boards?

I think you will not be all that happy about the low ceiling after a little time, I know I wouldn't at least. Personally I would have added 50 cm or more to the height, but then I'm over 180 cm tall, so that might be why it feels too low.

We were... but the boatyard has been really busy building boats and we don't want to bother them taking some space there and also we are 5 minutes driving from the boatyard, so we can go there anytime we want. On the yard of the house we are is easier to work everyday as we can go home anytime and store things inside the house.

What is the finish date on the boat.
