  • This is the ultimate workshop that has been years in the making, and construction is finally done! I've learned so much through this process as well as some valuable lessons. There's so much potential inside the workshop and I'm excited to see what the future holds. Enjoy!

    Great job, Ben! Hard work and perseverance always pays off. Even with the "technical difficulties." Can't wait to see what your up to next.

    This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection czcams.com/users/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.

    A year!!! Wow, I applaud your patience. I called my inspections department in Texas today to ask about building a similar shop but two stories with an office upstairs. They told me about the required setbacks then said to draw a floor plan and list my framing, insulation, and electrical plans then get cracking. That was it for the approval process. After that it’s up to me to pass code. Seems way more efficient that way. Provide the guidance, but put the responsibility/liability on the owner.

    I remember the first videos of the concrete pour. You doing backflip on the slab... so much time has passed. And SO fast!
    It is AMAZING to see everything again in one single video.
    Congrats for the great accomplishment and for the channel.
    And I LOVE your dogs!

    @Ben Tardif, Regarding the mention of Chicken Coop. Incorporate a running water stream or just filtered water in some shape or form with surface skimming. It will prolong the usage of the water and reduces stale water. Which is better for any animal or person. Basically, avoid going with "Bowl of water". Plus, if you make it a birdbath style, they can potentially clean themselves to a degree. Which will reduce the feather dust, which can cause allergies.

    That is so awesome bro. I’ve been watching your videos from the first day. The whole kitchen, living and other indoor remodels. To now your work shop. So happy for you man. The office is the coolest part of your shop so far.... keep up the great project. Much love from Cali

    Looks amazing! Gutters would really help. Even if you’re in CA and have concrete on some sides, gutters just help so much. Keeping water off the sides of the building and away from your foundation is a huge deal:)

  • @JoshPriceCCFG
    @JoshPriceCCFG Před 3 lety

    @alexandermitchell9070 Před 4 lety +3

    This was a great build to watch. Hopefully we can see many projects from your new shop. I would have made the ceiling of your raised office go all the way to the ceiling of the shop to give more headroom, unless you’re using the space above for storage.
    Also, the brighter, bluer light bulb will make the yard brighter and, if it’s an LED, should be more energy efficient.

    What a fantastic build, it is truly a Dream Workshop, I'm sure you will be spending countless hours in it making stuff. I had to smile at about 6:30 after the completion of the internal insulation. I then realised the insulation was to keep the heat out and not in! I'm live in a much colder climate. 5⭐'s Ben

    I just want to give you a really big shout out for showing all the oopsies at the end of the video. A lot of us have the toxic trait of seeing a summarized youtube video and think "I can do that" but the process is always riddled with unforseen mistakes and dangerous situations. Really helps us give some pause and learn to be kind to oneself when issues come along with the project and most importantly be SAFE over quick progress. subbed!
