so we got a little bit different of a project going on today we got some construction here in
the shop so we're going to be building an entire upstairs on the front half of the shop here
it's going to be just a whole nother level stairs going up and so basically we got a frame in the
walls so that way it can support that second level and so today we're going to start tearing into
these walls and so we got a little bit of lumber here the rest of it's showing up pretty soon
so i'm gonna show you guys a little bit of this project i'm not gonna go
in depth and all i'm just gonna do some time lapses and hopefully you enjoy
all right update guys we are a few days into this project
so we've got one corner of the shop done over here we ended up moving the air compressor and the oven
to this corner got that rewired and insulated and coming over here
we have three of the walls done and then we tore out a few more over here
we're just building another wall here we also had to do a little concrete work here as a footing
and once we've got these walls done then we just gotta do this one and we're pretty much there
we're also gonna build a grinding and painting room in the corner over here so right about here
is where the grinding and painting room is gonna go and obviously we've got the fan to ventilate
all that crap out so we're gonna build some more walls and then i'll update you guys a little later
so
so we're able to make a lot of progress over the last few days we've got basically
all of the exterior walls up and secured goes all the way across the front and this way over here
let's go over in the corner so this area over here which is kind of the business area of the office
is going to be turned into a bedroom and so we've got a big window we're going to be putting in
and got a little uh hole for a ac unit and then what we're working on today right over
here so basically starting from here all the way to the front wall we're gonna be putting
a wall right here so basically continuing this wall so it's gonna be basically splitting the
entire shop in half we have all shop space and that will be our bedroom and then we will have
the upstairs so what we got to do right now is frame up this last wall it's going to be a big boy
and we'll see if we can get this thing up in place just with nick and i
oh
you [ __ ] this wall oh holy crap i didn't expect it to go up that early that easy
that early like yeah i was oh you're beasts dude i didn't think that was going to go up
like when i tried it i'm like there's no way we just both decided like we made that unconscious
decision just [ __ ] said we didn't we didn't say anything we're just like okay
we've got this room framed in over here that'll be the grinding room we're going to call that dirty
room and then we've got all of the exterior walls up center wall up that thing was a beast to try
to lift up with two people but we ended up getting it so at this point we just need to start dragging
eye joist in and putting them up i don't know how we're gonna do it but we're gonna find a way
so
so we've got a little thing going on here
we decided to cut the truss for a doorway so we've got it all reinforced here
probably beefier than it needs to be got it all engineered out redneck engineering but should work
but now it's time to cut the truss so we'll see if the building holds together
whoa can you put glasses on nick i need you to protect me because i have glasses but i need you
to protect me from the sawdust in case something gets in my eye so go grab a
pair of glasses i don't know where they're at but yeah you gotta gotta do your part you know
the last little inch here see what happens
look at that there's one half
it's got the other half that's kind of nerve-wracking to give you guys some context
we're up here in the raptors basically these are obviously the trusses but this is all the
second floor and so yeah these trusses were right in the way you know they're three feet
higher than the the floor height so we ended up beefing up pretty good looks like it'll hold up
well that's it i think it's gonna work though actually i know it's gonna work this is way
over engineered is this always sketchy cutting a trust though what did i just do
can't believe this is a door frame now this is going to be so weird walking through
what used to be a truss it's pretty sweet though just kidding this is actually a bullet bar
love you it's working out
so
all right guys we've made a ton of progress and this is going to be our stopping point
here we basically got all of the exterior walls in the interior wall over here
the upstairs at least the uh the eye joists there we don't have the flooring in quite yet but
that's gonna be our stopping point i'd say that was about three weeks worth of
work there was a lot of things i had to redo i've never really done this stuff before so
it's been a lot of learning and actually a lot of fun nick and i have basically done everything from
start to finish had a little help with the engineering side of things but
as far as pounding the nails and uh putting things together nick and i have handled it and it's uh
it's been a blast so i want you guys to tune in to the next one we're gonna be building a set
of stairs and starting to work on the upstairs getting some flooring in there maybe framing
some walls and getting some lights going so i will see you guys there thanks for watching you
