I hate trusses. Mainly because of the storage space you lose. Think of how much storage you could have had if you did rafters. It’s hard to fine quality trusses. They seem to be made from the cheapest lumber and sometimes break simply by lifting them. Most likely if you check, I think you will find some 2x4 uprights were cut too short causing the bow.

Coming along nicely.

Nice work! I enjoy watching stuff get built!

AWESOME!.... put compressor outside in its own room that's heated THANK ME LATER!

You don’t need a big compressor anymore. Everything’s battery / electric. A small compressor is good enough to blow up tires and run the odd air tool. If you’re going to sand blast you’ll probably just get a portable compressor. Could do bolts under the stairs or drill press or 50 ton press.

So I am curious if you have considered a few things and just thought I'd comment in case you haven't. Will you leave the lights as plug ins and not hardwire them? I would say it's a good idea to install outlets up there so the LED fixtures are easy to update in the future. We did it at the warehouse I used to work at. Second do you plan on putting a wash sink downstairs? After getting all greasy working downstairs, it may be nice to have a wash sink downstairs to clean up at rather than having to walk upstairs. Great progress on the shop overall though, it's looking great!

@33:21 Really? Only 150 amps for a huge workshop like that?? The incoming power line should be able to support 200 amps easily. Compressor, welder, lights, power tools, chargers, etc eat up a lot more power than you think really quickly. Better to have too much than not enough, I say when it comes to electric. Easier to build now rather than have to upgrade later.

Great vid, on that upstairs mezz you may want to put in a gate in the handrail so you can fork a pallet through to your storage room to save hundreds of foot trips up and down stairs, jus sayin

This has to be one of the biggest pure stick framed buildings I've ever seen.

Nice shop, thanks for sharing.

Liked the way you rectified those gable end trusses... 'That sure aint going anywhere' :)

oh yea thats a nice garage to work in.

Jesse u da man!

😂 the Trust Company probably said good luck you already paid us.... that is why you always pay them in a check... and get it done within 3 days....😂😂😂...JJ....

Your buddy needs suspenders. Game changer let me tell ya. For working it's so nice not having to pull your pants up all day every five minutes.

Looking good Jesse!

When you finish all your projects build Noah’s arc

Highly recommend a louvered exhaust vent fan in the peak of rear wall... Can vent out diesel fumes or cool it off inside quickly during the warmer months. Easy to wire in while still all open.

Electrical Room door should open from inside to out according to Code.

Looks great 👍

Jesse; great window in staircase location, nice Shop, light Grey Primer and Paint is better for Shop than dirty White ! I do like your Air Compressor outside idea, I've been recommending Al Lumnah to put an Air Compressor, not in his solar power room, but on the exterior side of wall, enclosed, like your considering ! Of note, Air Compressor auxiliary tanks are ( industry standards ) considered explosive, due to internal rusting, but' I worked for an Oilfield company 'Weatherford' in Calif. and we used Air-Starters for our Diesel power units, ( function test before load-out ) but Shop air supply wasn't adequate, causing down-time waiting for Air Pressure build-up ! So' I said; replace Shops Air supply system by enlarging overhead pipes ! Then the entire Shops overhead 1" lines were replaced with 2" lines ( quite a job ) solving entire Shops lack of Air supply issue, when the planning was to give us another Air Compressor and that included running 220 to it, when others in the huge Shop also had Air supply issues, wanting the same, which is why the issue was stuck in wait-and-see stall-pattern ! The bonus is; Air Compressor when being used, last longer before building back volume pressure, So' less frequent noise, less heat generated by compressor, less wear-and-tear, just install drain at every drop ( oil air powered tools persistentlly ) and the drops can be swedged-down to 1" pipe or 3/4" pipe if preferred ! Another thing _ instead if ever buying expensive 'never-sieze', with brush in middle of containers threaded top, instead Buy for $100.00+, 5 gallon bucket, Kopper-Kote _ it is the same exact thing, ( lab tested by Weatherford, another one of my suggestions ) Oilfield-Drillpipe-Thread-Dope lubricant, so easily available, from Oilfield suppliers, works for 5th wheel skid plates and a Gallon lasts a lifetime, so splitting-it with someone ( 4 way ) makes sense, just start saving the cans for brush in lids handy-ness !

Looking good buddy keep up the good work

👍 Now that's what you call a man cave, more like a cathedral.

You are a good man, Jesse Muller.

Thanks for sharing! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙋🏼✌🏻✌🏻

awesome project, thanks for taking us along

Should have shimmed up the bottom cord if the center was low. Now back charge the Truss idiots. Or cut the truss studs and scabbed on a new stud. Carpenter 35 years. Shit happens. The gable stud height was fine, but what you made was a type of purlin. Look that up!

It's already too small 😁

👍

👍💪

progress progress progress

God, Noah is so adorable. Thanks for another great video Jesse.

Absolutely awesome build

Great video, great shop coming along. Your mentioning work benches. Make one or one section with sturdy locable wheels on it. Realy handy when you got a little more space. Perfect to move hevy or multiple tools from project to project in the shop. Make shure all benches are the same hight. (When i worked in industry we called them ”ambulances”.)

Never put a staircase by a door or window. It’s easy access for a thief. Unless you put bars up or cement windows, you could be asking for trouble. Reinforce the window.

Every one of the end 2x4 's should have been on their edge to strengthen the end against the wind hitting it, plus wind bracing behind that to all the other truss for 16 feet in , at middle and half each side ..

I like the whitish color in my garage and my house , looks more open , reflects light ,and saves on electricity. I hate colored walls .

I am just here for the " you stole the intro from Andrew Camarata" comments! Jesse this is an awesome project! With the boys getting into sports why not build an outdoor full basketball court? I think the new shop will be full of projects and a hoop would be in the way.

nice your very own osha inspector 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

More unbelievable progress and high-quality workmanship, Jesse. Do you have any plans to install a ceiling fan or large volume extraction system in case your welding or working on heavy equipment and exhaust fumes need expelling from the workshop?

Where the wood is cut and seasoned/treated, they are pushing it out way to fast to make money. Not demand and everything is still dying out for projects/construction…

Jesse I know is hard work and time consuming but is so satisfying in the end and I am loving every minute of it, looks awesome great job thanks a lot buddy 👍👍👌👌

Watch all your videos as soon as they come out with pleasure. So impressed with this shop had to comment WELL DONE!!

shaping up nicely!

Helluva shop! Well thought out and well built. Fun to watch a builder build his own shop. Congratulations.

would love to see a functional sink in the corner on the work bench area, down below the bathroom area ♥

30:10 i think this is the first time i've really seen how ginormous that building is.

Sorry, but bringing small children to a construction site?

Good video Jesse. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience. I do appreciate the family appearances. Your crew is awesome. I'm already anticipating the next video, can hardly wait. Hope that you and crew have a great week. Blessings to you and family. Been catching your mom and dad working on the container castle. Thoughts, prayers, Blessings to all in Jesus's Mighty Name. Stay safe, healthy, strong, discerning and successful. Catch you on the next adventure. ☝🙏🙌💪👍👊
