Answers

## Questions about this video

Why did the creator decide to replace the old roof instead of repairing it?

The old roof was improperly flashed, had incorrect length metal sheets, and rotting fascia, making replacement easier and more effective.

What is the purpose of the 'ladder set' soffit mentioned in the video?

The ladder set soffit is a custom-built frame designed to extend the roof and prevent water pooling on the fascia, protecting it from rot.

How does the creator protect the base plates from moisture on the concrete and asphalt floor?

Pressure-treated boards are used for the base plates, and sealant is applied underneath to prevent water intrusion and decay.

Speaker A

Oh, hey. Welcome to, well, my side shed. This is going to be a huge upgrade for the new shop. We've always had this kind of lean-to shed on the side of the shop, but it's just kind of been for nothing.

00:24

Speaker A

We used it as a garden shed. We put, you know, lawn stuff out here. But in redoing the shop, I thought it would serve us better if we made this a finished space. So, in this video, the plan is to take this junk pile and

00:38

Speaker A

actually make it part of the inside of the shop. And the way we're going to do that is we're going to frame in a wall here, redo the roof, add a garage door on the front, frame in the rest of it,

00:49

Speaker A

add some exterior doors for easy access points to get out, insulate, electrical. I don't know if all that's going to happen in this video, but we're going to see how far we can get.

01:05

Speaker A

One bag of garbage at a time. This side shed has been a thorn in my side for way too long. If you know anything about me, it's that I love organization and I just hate this clutter. I want to clean it up, make it

01:37

Speaker A

look good, and we also need to frame in an area that will keep our dust collector from getting rain on it. So, a lot to do. We got a week to do it. Let's get started.

01:48

Speaker A

All right. Step one, take this old roof off. It has seen better days. It's not flashed properly at all. So, we thought the easiest thing to do is just start over. Plus, once we get this down, we can frame and insulate a lot easier. So,

02:05

Speaker A

let's screw this thing. Unscrew. Let's unscrew this thing. Got some unexpected visitors. We always like to treat our visitors with kindness and love.

02:30

Speaker A

And pesticide. I suppose that some of this roof might have been able to be salvaged, but the fact that most of the lengths weren't the correct length. It wasn't flashed right, I just figured it was easier to start over. Pretty soon, we had the

02:46

Speaker A

entire metal roof taken off, and we needed to load up my trailer to make a much-needed trip to the dump. You see, this pad outside the shop has kind of become the cardboard pile area, which I hate. Packages come in, we don't know

03:02

Speaker A

what to do with them, and we chuck them out the door. So, by building this area, that's got to get rid of that clutter.

03:09

Speaker A

Right. Right. Please, please tell me that I'm that I'm right. Well, all right then. We got the roof off. We tore off a bunch of the rotting little spacer boards. And this was just like a 2 by 6 fascia that they threw up

03:27

Speaker A

there. So, that was rotting, too. I did not build this originally. So, we're going to replace all that with appropriate fascia. Got all the metal cut down, stuck in the trailer. Now, we're going to go to the dump, dump it,

03:40

Speaker A

try and get some exterior doors, and then we start framing this thing back in. Make it look all pretty. Hey, of course, the one project we saved to the end of the summer that needs to be done outside, it starts raining. Welcome

03:58

Speaker A

to Oregon. Today's task, I think the first thing we're going to do is get the plywood on these rafters up here so that at least it's, you know, covering us a little bit while we frame the rest in so

04:11

Speaker A

we don't have to be working in the rain. This is the part of the video where we start to do some framing stuff, not knowing at all what we're doing, and then all the real contractors out there that know about framing comment how we

04:22

Speaker A

did it wrong. So, get your fingers ready. Problem number one, there was a fascia board that was attached to this part of the roof here. It was just toenailed in here, but it wasn't done properly in the way that it was kind of

04:37

Speaker A

a collecting point for water. So, this was starting to get a little water damage. So, I'm trying to figure out the proper way to do this. I don't know the proper way. So, what I'm going to do is

04:48

Speaker A

I'm going to do a ladder set. I don't know if that's a real thing. I might be making that up. We're basically going to build a ladder frame out of 2x4s and attach it to this to extend this out a

04:59

Speaker A

little bit farther. We're going to notch it under here so that the roof can run all the way up under here completely.

05:05

Speaker A

Getting rid of any chance of water pooling here. And then we can put another fascia board on the outside of that when we trim it all up. I think it's going to work. Is it the right way to do it? Probably not, but we're making

05:18

Speaker A

this up as we go. Let's do that. But of course, our lumber delivery was stacked in the worst possible way in regards to what materials we actually needed first. So, we had to move some things out of the way before we could

05:35

Speaker A

even get started. Change of plan. We're lazy and they have all this 1/2 inch plywood stacked on top of our 2x4s. So, we're going to start putting this up on the roof just to get rid of some of the

05:47

Speaker A

pile. And then when we work our way to the end, we'll do the whole set situation.

05:53

Speaker A

At least that's the plan. We'll see how it goes. So, in the beautiful Oregon sunshine, we started laying this 1/2 inch underlayment plywood across the span of our roof.

06:09

Speaker A

Really wasn't too bad. We made sure to land all of our seams on those existing rafters so they were nicely supported.

06:15

Speaker A

Uh, we might throw some blocking in on the other seams later down the road. I didn't really want to cut pieces to fit.

06:22

Speaker A

So when it came to the end, I just overhung them off the edge and used the track saw to trim them down to the right size. Seemed like an easy, simple solution. And pretty soon we had plywood over the entire top of our roof. Zip,

06:37

Speaker A

zap, zoop. It's practically raining soup. There were a few little custom pieces I had to cut to fit around the existing roof line, but that wasn't too bad. Then with all of our plywood moved out of the way, we could focus on this

06:52

Speaker A

ladder set. Again, I made that term up. I think if you know what this thing's actually called, let me know down in the comment section. Um, I call it a ladder soffit 'cause look, it looks like a ladder

07:05

Speaker A

and you're using it to make a soffit. So, made sense in my head. Anyways, I nailed this whole thing together. And unlike the last roof that just died on that other roof line's fascia board and created a spot for water to pull and rot

07:21

Speaker A

the fascia, I'm going to tuck this one underneath the roof so that, well, nature can't get to it. Which means I needed to notch around that existing fascia a little bit. Again, probably not the proper thing to do, but we're doing it.

07:37

Speaker A

Once I got that set in place, I clad the top of that in plywood as well, using my same technique just to leave the boards long and trim them all down with the track saw. I mean, it worked before.

07:50

Speaker A

Then, with all of our plywood on and our new set installed, we could start to dry in the entire roof. Now, in the past, I've used a tar paper material that you just staple in place. I didn't get that

08:03

Speaker A

this time. I'm using this new material. Supposed to be good. The only difference is instead of staples, you use these nails with these little plastic heads on them that's supposed to keep water out of your nail holes or hold down the

08:15

Speaker A

paper better. I'm not sure. It wasn't hard to install. And pretty soon, everything was dry. And just like that, we are dried in. We still got to put the metal roofing on, but at least for now, it'll stay dry under here. So, we're

08:30

Speaker A

going to get everything cleaned out, get a nice work area, and we can get saw set up, not have to worry about the rain, and get the rest of everything framed in. That's what we're going to do.

08:42

Speaker A

First, I started out just cleaning up the water that, uh, made its way into the space before we got the roof on. And then, we were ready to start framing.

08:51

Speaker A

Now, if you were wondering at what point in the video you could head down to the comment section to tell us how bad our framing is, this would be the appropriate time. Now, I'm using pressure-treated boards for my base

09:03

Speaker A

plate because, well, it's ground contact, and that's what you're supposed to do, I think. And because this goes from a concrete slab to asphalt, which does slope away from the slab, I still wanted to make sure water couldn't get

09:15

Speaker A

under those base plates. So, I put some sealant under there before I put them down. And then we sta

09:28

Speaker A

I used on this little wall section, so I added a beefier concrete anchor right there. And just like that, our first little section of wall is framed. Now, time to do the front wall that's going to have the garage door. Now, you're

09:41

Speaker A

probably looking at this going, "Why are you putting up these big old pressuret treated 4x10 there?" Well, it's cuz we had this thing laying around from when we kind of tore down some existing walls in this space. That's what the previous

09:54

Speaker A

builder had put up. And I figured we might as well reuse the material we have instead of buying a whole bunch of new stuff. It needs a big header anyways.

10:02

Speaker A

So, I put that 4x10 beam across the top. And then I added these uh 4x6 posts coming down on either side of the opening for our garage door. Probably a little excessive, but hey, now those posts and beam aren't sitting on the

10:19

Speaker A

side of my shop anymore. After we got that in, I cut out the base plate on the bottom for the opening in the garage door. And then we filled in the other spaces with 2x4s, including this top angled wall. I put a 2x4 up across the

10:33

Speaker A

top. And then I just kind of stick framed all the studs 16 on center across there. Well, contractors we are not. But I mean, it doesn't look half bad, right, for what it needs to be. Uh, we use

10:47

Speaker A

these pressuret treated posts simply because we had them laying around, so why not? They wouldn't necessarily need to be pressuret treated. We use pressuret treated bottom plates everywhere. Here's the issue now though.

10:58

Speaker A

This is going to be a garage door framed in a door here so we can get easy access to the garbage cans without having to open up the garage door every time. The dust collector is set up back here.

11:11

Speaker A

Now, we thought it would also be nice to put a door right here so that we could easily come back here to empty the dust bins when we need to. And we got one with a window in it so we can just look

11:22

Speaker A

out the window and see if the dust things are full. We don't even have to open the door. The problem is we just assumed a door would fit in here. And after taking the measurements, it's too short. is not going to fit. We

11:39

Speaker A

need about 82 in for clearance for the door that we already bought. That's metal that we can't trim down. So, I think the plan is I'm just going to carve out a big chunk of this 4x10.

12:00

Speaker A

4x10 was here because there used to be a garage door here. We don't need a 4x10 for a header. So, if I carve a few inches out of it, we're still going to have plenty of strength above it for the

12:10

Speaker A

door. I can't think of a better way to do it than a chainsaw. I mean, we could use a skill saw and go back and forth a zillion times and notch it out, but that just seems like it's going to take

12:19

Speaker A

forever. And to be honest, it doesn't have to be pretty. It's all going to get covered up. So, chainsaw, let me know in the comments. Good idea, bad idea.

12:32

Speaker A

Don't do that. I mean, let's be honest, is there ever a bad time to use a chainsaw? Exactly. So, I started out by carefully marking out how much clearance I needed for our door. And then I took my super powerful

12:48

Speaker A

battery powered DeWalt chainsaw. I'm just joking. This thing's kind of a wuss. And I started uh just hacking away at that 4x10 beam. It really wasn't too bad. The blade was uh pretty sharp, so I managed to get cut through it. in I

13:04

Speaker A

don't know 5 minutes. Much quicker than the old skill saw curve cutting kind of route.

13:17

Speaker A

Yeah. Whatever works. All right. Whatever works. With our door frame successfully notched out, it was time to fill in the rest of this old garage door opening with some framing. So, again, pressuret treated wood on the bottom. I didn't do a base

13:37

Speaker A

plate on top of that like I did on the other walls. I was just kind of going and forgot. So, hopefully that's okay.

13:43

Speaker A

I'm sure it'll be fine. All right, we've got our main finishing room. Extra space framed in for all of our doors. little chainsaw action. Now we get to the kind of tricky part. Installed this dust collector from Onida. If you go back in

14:01

Speaker A

the videos, you can get all the information on it. Um, a lot of you guys have been asking for a follow-up on how I like this. I got to say this was the best change we made to the wood shop

14:13

Speaker A

when we decided to redo it. Is getting a dust collector that we could put outside the shop. And this air lock system is the best thing ever. We're not struggling with like changing bags or bins anymore. This keeps the pressure

14:28

Speaker A

constant cuz there's like this sealed paddle that goes in there. So when you run the dust collection, everything just dumps out into a bin. So you can literally you can have it dump on the ground, you can have it dump in a

14:38

Speaker A

container like we have here. It's the best. I love this thing. However, it's not technically supposed to be outside in the rain. You can see our fancy cover at the top there to cover the motor.

14:50

Speaker A

This is a garbage can. It's not a long-term solution. So, we need to frame in a little room to cover this, which gets tricky because it sticks up higher than the roof line. Now, it doesn't have to be like a super wellsealed area. It

15:05

Speaker A

just needs to protect it from the rain. So, I think what we're going to do is frame a wall in here to kind of make a little room. We're going to create a new roof line that's kind of like peaked.

15:14

Speaker A

One slope going that way, one slope coming back this way. And that slope's just going to dump into this gutter.

15:21

Speaker A

It's not going to be airtight under there, but it doesn't need to be. We just need to protect the dust collector.

15:26

Speaker A

So, that's what we're going to work on now. Making sure that our favorite tool out of the shop is protected. And if you want more information, like I said, on the Onidita system, I'll put a link at the top of the video right there. You

15:39

Speaker A

can click on that. It'll show us installing all the dust collection. We talk more about the system itself. Or go over to onidita.com, check it out.

15:46

Speaker A

They're very friendly. They'll help you get whatever you need. So, without a real clear clue of how we were going to do this, we just started building stuff. I framed up a wall, and of course, the second I started working

16:01

Speaker A

outside again, it started pouring down rain. But I guess it'll just make us appreciate what we're building that much more when we can be nice and dry inside an enclosed area. Once I had that wall framed up, Craig helped me lift it into

16:16

Speaker A

place on top of our pressuret treated bottom plate. Just like that. Now, this is just a square wall. You'll notice it doesn't have the roof line like I was talking about, but that's part of my plan. Just go with me on this. Once we

16:31

Speaker A

had that installed, well, then it was time for a commercial break. This video is sponsored by AG1. Now, I know we've worked with AG1 before. We've told you all about it, but this is AG1 Pro. When they first launched AG1 Pro,

16:44

Speaker A

it sold out almost immediately, and they don't expect that this is going to last long. So, you're going to want to grab the Pro while you still can. AG1 Pro is a daily health drink built on the clinically backed formula of AG1 NextG.

16:56

Speaker A

17:17

Speaker A

Delicious. I am so stoked on this AG1 Pro because I was already taking AG1. I was already taking creatine and I like simplicity and now it simplifies my stack because I can do creatine and AG1 all in one place. Some of the benefits

17:31

Speaker A

stress and mood balance, strengthen nerve function. I mean, what more could you ask for? Well, wait, there is more.

Speaker A

Pro. Huge thanks to AG1 for sponsoring this video. Cheers to better health. All right, so Craig went home for lunch and I thought it would be funny. I got this nail through finger thing at a local joke shop and I thought it'd be

18:16

Speaker A

funny if I made him believe that I stuck a nail through my finger. So, let's see if we can trick him.

18:32

Speaker A

Get the first aid kit. Text him. Hello. Hello. What' you do? I had a little mishap with the nail gun.

18:52

Speaker A

Oh boy. Probably right there. Okay. I was trying to unjam a nail and it just kind of went off.

19:06

Speaker A

Okay. All right. Yeah. Okay. Did you do you took care of this all by yourself?

19:16

Speaker A

I tried to. Wow, man. Dude, I can keep working. It's fine. I'm okay. You really thought I did it.

19:30

Speaker A

Just shake it. I know. That was pretty convincing, right? $2 worth every penny. You know what?

19:42

Speaker A

Now, what I'm going to need is a board that is roughly at least 24 in long. And if that doesn't sum up how this thing was framed, I don't know what does. So, I literally just called out numbers to Craig. He cut the board

20:03

Speaker A

to the size I thought I needed and I started building this roof line. My idea was to build the roof shape on the existing roof there and then just match it on our other pre-built wall on the other side. And what do you know? Slowly

20:17

Speaker A

but surely, a little roof covering for our dust collector started to emerge. We built a thing. Do we do it right? I don't know. But it's going to serve its purpose. It's going to cover the dust collector. So, we got it all framed. So,

20:31

Speaker A

now we're going to start adding our fascia board, put on our plywood for the roof, get it all dried in and ready for our metal. We're not going to do our metal yet cuz then we're going to side

20:41

Speaker A

everything, get that all closed in. We're going to do the metal last. So, anyways, we're making this up as we go. So, the next thing, whatever the next thing is, not falling off the roof. That's the next thing.

20:59

Speaker A

Because my ladder sophets, I'm just going with it at this point, worked so good on the other side of the building, I decided to duplicate them on this side to create a little bit of an overhang on top so the water doesn't just come

21:12

Speaker A

pouring down our siding. So, I built those, got those installed with Craig's help, and then we started putting up our fascia board. Why is it called fascia board? Is that like a different language? I feel like faceboard. Maybe

21:26

Speaker A

fascia means face because it's on the face of the the thingy. What's it? I don't know. Again, I was lazy. So, with the plywood, I just put full sheets up there, let them overhang, and zip zap zooped them down with the track saw

21:40

Speaker A

until everything was, you know, nice and covered up there. What would we do without track saws? They're like the universal tool. I mean, not sure you're supposed to be using this one in the rain, but we won't worry about that.

21:54

Speaker A

Then we used that same moisture barrier, covered the entire roof with it, made sure that everything was overlapped so that all the water would, you know, run in the appropriate places. And then it was time to start siding our little

22:07

Speaker A

shed. Now, the rest of the building has 1/2-in underllayment with the siding on top. But since this is literally just a rain cover, I wasn't going to waste money putting half-in stuff and then T111 on top of that. So, I just put up

22:21

Speaker A

this uh kind of Tyvex moisture barrier stuff and then put the T111 right onto the walls. I would hold a piece in place. Craig would tack it along the bottom and we just kind of worked our way along the entire wall. Now, if

22:36

Speaker A

you're like, "Why T111? That stuff's ugly." I completely agree. I hate T111 siding. It looks horrible. But that's what was already on the shop. So, I kind of had to go with what was there or resside the entire shop, which I don't

22:51

Speaker A

got time to do that right now. Once we got our first layer of siding on, I added this Z flashing on the top so that we could stack another layer. Got that cut nice and snug up underneath our

23:02

Speaker A

little ladder sophet. And we were pretty much good on this side of the building.

23:09

Speaker A

Then I moved on to the rest of the building. Like I said, it was originally sided with a/2 in underllayment material and then the T111 on top of that. So I got to match that so that all my siding

23:23

Speaker A

is at the, you know, same level sticking off the building. So once again, in the pouring rain, I started piecing together pieces of plywood to fit on the outside of the building. It's actually kind of fun. It's like a giant puzzle, but you

23:38

Speaker A

have to cut all the pieces for the puzzle before you can put it together.

23:42

Speaker A

And they're heavy and awkward. So, if you cut one wrong, you get really upset and angry at yourself. It's It's a good time. Everybody should do it. And building in the rain just makes it that much more enjoyable. Everything's better

23:56

Speaker A

when you're soaking wet and cold. Once I had all that plywood on the front of the building, I went up onto the roof to add a little bit of siding onto the backside of our little dust collection covering and then moved back down to add

24:11

Speaker A

the T111 on top of the plywood on top of the Tyvex moisture barrier. There's a lot of layering that goes into construction, I'm finding out. You do one layer with the studs and then another layer with the plywood and then

24:26

Speaker A

another layer with the moisture bar and another layer with the siding. Another layer with the paint. Just never ends.

24:33

Speaker A

Pretty soon I had all the siding done and it was time to put up our fascia around our main roof line. I would have done this earlier, but well, I didn't go to the store and buy the fascia until

24:45

Speaker A

later. So, it's getting done when it's getting done. At some point, my wife thought I must have been doing a good job because she came out to give me a nice hug and a kiss. I'll always take that from her. And then I went back to

24:58

Speaker A

putting up the fascia. I'm really liking this whole just leave things long and cut them down after the fact. Makes life a lot easier. Zip, zap, zoop. You're done.

25:09

Speaker A

Then I had to add some plywood to this back little wall section where we filled in that old garage door so that I could get the new door installed. So I got my plywood, my T111 back there. And then I

25:23

Speaker A

was just really crossing my fingers that this door would actually fit after our beam adjustment. So I brought it over, I wiggled it into place, and wait for it.

25:38

Speaker A

Look at that. Like a glove. Never a doubt in my mind. Door installed. No, I'm just kidding. There's a lot more to installing a door than that. You got to shim it and screw it and level it, which I did all that. It was just

25:53

Speaker A

boring, so I didn't show you. But I'll show you on this door just so you believe me that I actually did it.

25:59

Speaker A

Basically, you add shims on both side. Make sure everything's level and square. The door's opening and shutting. You screw it in place. And boom, door installed.

26:10

Speaker A

Now, whoever built this original shop building, which was here when we bought the house, only used a lap sighting on the very front of the building.

26:19

Speaker A

Everything else is T111, which I think probably was a decision made out of cost. They probably thought lapsiding is more expensive. Let's just spend that money on the very front of the building where people see when they drive by and we'll just use ugly T111

26:36

Speaker A

for the backside that you don't see very often. But because that's the decision they made, I also have to follow suit.

So for the front of the building, I'm using LP sighting. I matched the lines on the existing building so everything stayed nice and even. And once I got one side of the garage door done, I used a laser level right on that line so I

26:58

Speaker A

could match the line across to the other side. I made a little jig to space out my lap sighting all even distances. And I actually don't mind installing lap siding. It's kind of fun. It really makes you feel like a real contractor.

27:14

Speaker A

And I like to pretend sometimes. Once I had both sides of the garage door done, I had to stop because I needed to put some flashing above the garage door, which whoever built this original building, they didn't flash anything,

27:29

Speaker A

which is probably why I had to pull off a bunch of rotten boards, but it's not going to happen this time. Everything is going to be flashed nice so that there's no more rot. And then after that, I only

27:41

Speaker A

had like four boards left to do to finish it off, which is pretty easy. It was a little tricky cutting that severe slope on the ends of the lap boards, but I just laid them down on a piece of

27:51

Speaker A

plywood and used the best tool in the world. The track saw, I mean, when can you not use that thing? And just like that, the whole front of the building was sighted. Now, to get this roof installed, Craig had the day off, which

28:07

Speaker A

meant I was going to have to do the entire roof by myself. I thought the flashing against the house would probably be smart to do before I install the roof and then slide the roofing underneath it. That way, I'm not trying

28:20

Speaker A

to do all this work on top of the installed metal roof. Problem was, whoever put this freaking T111 up used 5 million nails, which meant that sliding that flashing up underneath that siding was almost impossible. The only way I

28:37

Speaker A

could do it in the end was actually to cut the flashing into smaller bite-sized chunks and then overlap it amply to make sure that it still worked properly.

28:46

Speaker A

Eventually, I worked my way along. I had to cut out a bunch of little grooves and nails so I could get it slid under there, but eventually I got it done. And I'm very confident it's going to do its

28:56

Speaker A

job, keep the water from dripping down along that seam at the top of the roof where it meets the building. And with that, it was time to start installing our actual metal corrugated roofing panels. Now, the roof is going to be

29:09

Speaker A

pretty simple, except for this first piece where I have to cut around our little addition. So, I got my piece laid up there. I measured exactly where it needed to go. And then I could slide that piece into place. And yes, don't

29:22

Speaker A

worry. I'm going to come back and put flashing along that side there. So, don't be like, "What about the flashing?

29:30

Speaker A

I just haven't got there yet. Give me a break. With my first piece installed, it was pretty much copy and paste for the rest of the pieces. I just drug them up onto the roof. Made sure they were

29:41

Speaker A

tucked nice and tight up under that flashing and I screwed them in place just at the top for now. I'll go back in and add all the additional screws later.

29:50

Speaker A

I wanted to get the whole thing laid out first. So, piece by piece, I started roofing. At least on this particular day, it was nice and sunny and not raining, which if you're working on a metal roof, you probably don't want it

30:06

Speaker A

to be slippery because then you'll zip zap. Oops. Which isn't good for anybody. Roofing with these metal sheets is pretty quick. I got all of them up there in probably less than an hour. And then I was on to more flashing. This time on

30:24

Speaker A

the sides overhanging those fascia boards. Again, I notched out under that existing fascia, tucked the flashing way back under there, so it should be nice and safe, and then I was on to installing 1 million screws. In order to

30:40

Speaker A

space them out evenly, I just cut a scrap piece of plywood at a set length, and I just used that to work my way down the roof so that they were all spaced out the same distance. Not that anyone's

30:53

Speaker A

ever going to be on top of the roof looking at my screw placement, but if you're going to do something, you might as well make it look nice.

31:01

Speaker A

Look, we got a roof. Just like that. The flashing was a total pain, but in the end, I got it all in there. I think it's going to work just fine. It's tucked up underneath the siding a good 2 in

31:15

Speaker A

probably, maybe more. Uh, we'll obviously have to do a little touch-up paint since I removed that old sighting.

31:22

Speaker A

And I got this little thing roofed. Got it flashed along the edge here. The one thing we're waiting for is the ridge cap. I didn't know what the slope of this roof was going to be cuz I made it

31:34

Speaker A

up as I went along. So, I had to wait till I got it built to order the ridge cap. Ended up being a 412, which is pretty common. So, then when the ridge cap gets in here, just stick it on

31:45

Speaker A

there. roof completely done. You know, this is the third black metal roof that I've installed on the channel. At what point can I start saying that I'm a roofer? Cuz that'd be kind of cool to add to my resume. Jason the roofer. Like

32:02

Speaker A

the sound of that. With the siding all done and the roof installed, there was just one thing left to do, and that was to cut away the old siding on the inside of this building.

32:14

Speaker A

because well this used to be outside but now it's inside and we don't want to have siding on the inside because it's inside not outside.

32:23

Speaker A

Plus we need to open this all up for the electricians and plumbers to do their thing. So me and Craig got to work and because of the 5 million nails that the previous builder put in this stuff, it

32:36

Speaker A

wasn't fun. But we managed it and that was that. Yeah, that's not going anywhere.

32:48

Speaker A

Hey, not bad for a week, right? I mean, if you remember what it looked like when we started, which is this.

32:56

Speaker A

Ew. What is that? Oh, gross. Yuck. And now it's a very usable space. It's not huge, but this is going to add significant space to the shop. kind of be a finishing room, uh, a dirty room, you know, things we don't really want to

33:17

Speaker A

do in the shop on our new hardwood floor, making a mess, pour an epoxy river table. We're not going to do that.

33:23

Speaker A

Uh, we'll do out here. Things we still got to do. Electricians and plumbers are coming tomorrow to run all the electrical. Uh, plumber because we're going to put a mud sink out here and then the garage door has to be

33:37

Speaker A

installed. Drywall, lighting. I think we might do one of those epoxy coats on the floor just to clean it up a little bit.

33:45

Speaker A

But hey, we did everything we could. Hope you enjoyed that video. And next time maybe we'll be back in the shop building something in there cuz it's hot out here and I'm tired. Also, been meaning to tell you if you're not signed
