Building A Mower Shed With Leftover Materials

[Music] [Music] yeah i think i'm probably gonna get poison ivy yeah if you didn't there's more oh yeah it's all over [Music] i'm here at the cut station what are you guys working on uh some boxes four four uh pillars concrete okay concrete that's a concrete form yes okay bridge building stuff and arlo yeah i think contributed the scraps right yeah yeah this was like all laying in the garage there who knows what okay freebie number one number one so i'm gonna start digging right here we're gonna set this first form and then reference from here over [Music] what i'm trying to do is suspend this form over the footing because i don't want to pour the thing and then wait for it to set up and then set it for them i want to do a swivel once we're going to make the concrete a little bit dry a little bit on the stiff side we'd say [Music] that's one way to do it it was dry when i left i don't know maybe somebody shot some water huh probably carter did it [Music] i don't even have a little army shovel like this but this is perfect for shoveling out of a wheelbarrow where you're kind of raised up you're calling whoever bought this it's the kids shovel is it yes oh dude can you tell the boy i'm telling you this is perfect like way better than a full-length shovel where you're like yeah could you stabbing ray with it you only get half the load on him that's why you like it i'm really wondering if jamie really bought the shovels for the kids or they're for him no he brought him bottom for us oh that's what he said and he was live all day i'm buying this new diesel truck it's for the kids though they love they love diesel trucks what i brought was like [Music] oh look at that that is so satisfying it is all right now we can fill it up the rest away here [Music] how about one more i bet it's gonna settle a little bit we'll just leave that on there for now [Music] ice expands concrete most people would have hooked that on the forum but that's the actual outside of the footing the way you did it all right here's what we're doing the front is done now we need to do the back ones and now we use the front ones as our reference so we need to go 12 feet out into the air yes and 600 feet wide it is and you could do the math and like figure out the angles you could be like if you're a surveyor and you had some really fancy equipment you could do that just for anyone who doesn't know if you measure down the slope your measurement of the width of the building the building's gonna be like a foot narrower than you expected because of the way you measured at an angle yeah it's all about that hypotenuse now yeah so how are we gonna do this well we had a crazy idea why don't we just make um a square or rectangle i'm sorry did you know that a rectangle back to the point okay we're going to actually make a uh a template if you will because it's a small structure it's super small 12 by 16. and we're going to square it by nailing a diagonal brace across it out of some really lightweight extra leftover trim and then we're gonna actually just hold it in place and then plumb pop the corners down that's gonna be great if it works i think it'll be we have never done this like this before i've never seen anyone do it either well that's all the more reason for us to do it right now dad he can't help himself uh he loves digging he likes pulling he's digging up stumps so that you don't run your mower well that's good because i might start my focus yep somebody's got to do it and that's his specialty we've got the mega frame assembled and um i think jamie was trying to figure out how to waste as much money as possible to lay this thing out it's probably like 12 each pieces of trim so like a 50 you got a 50 template here expensive ish you could have done this with string lines and diagonals and plumb bobs and that's the way we use i can tell you just i can tell you for certain this material has been sitting on the shelf where it's at for 12 years so it's a pretty good run yeah okay it was so it was a freebie also free no materials purchased yet [Music] now i know the real reason why we never do this freaking arms are still smoking right now it's only one finger pressure but my arms are about to fall off take your time jamie no i got it all right somebody has to eyeball it your dad's doing fine over there well maybe he does push-ups you missed it i didn't no i didn't miss that's right on excuse me i missed okay we're gonna do a little stabilization here all right stab it in what do you think it's good [Music] [Music] that was the whole reason we built this frame was that right there it only took like 10 minutes no it was fast it was it was it wasn't it's actually a pretty good idea for a small structure yeah think about doing this on a whole hey hey hey i'm watching poison ivy no already i don't know that you could get it that fast i think it takes like eight hours no she didn't unless you're right i do i do everything fast dude i'm good i don't doubt that now we have this pile of rough cut lumber sawmill lumber it's all different dimensions you know none of them are straight and i'm trying to build something of uniform size and straight right so what do we do a couple things i'm going to utilize my track saw here this is the aluminum track saw that i built so basically now we have to process all this material into its usable sizes before we can build anything that's kind of a drag but it's part of it and this is what i had laying around so that's what we're gonna do [Music] [Music] this is six inch by six inch angle iron three eighths thick i got lucky enough that uh a relative of mine had it laying in a field under a bunch of briars and other crap for everyone i'm glad i missed that part of the process um so i'm very thankful for uh sherman for having this for me now attaching the wood beams to this oh let's save it let's save it you got to keep watching the video oh oh yeah yeah no how do you attach a two by six to this and i'll tell you later i'll tell you later [Music] [Music] i noticed you're using the old 7018 stick there i am and it's not because i'm really good at it i'll tell you that's probably the last reason i would say um it's easier out here because i don't have to have my gas bottle and all that like with mig welding yeah mig welding you got the gas bottle you got the cart it is easier just pull the trigger right yeah i think it's probably the number one most widely used type of welding in the world [Music] [Music] here's a look at one end of our finished floor joists which are oak 2x6 like you'd find in a house from 1940. yep true six inch what can you tell me about them uh they're solid wood maybe they're heavy they're free because that was sitting at our lot for years i didn't think i'd see the day where oak floor joists were cheaper than just going to the store and buying a floor just but today is that day yeah yeah yeah i gotta say i have never used a cutting torch this is my first time and i borrowed one right here from my stepdad thank you bob and he's contributed see the contributors sherman contributed the steel thank you sherman again uh bob with the uh the cutting torch here they're all gonna want to sit in your mower garage hey they can all come hang out it'll be a good time [Music] hmm [Music] who was beating these down with the hammer [Music] [Music] oh you really hold your hands well he just pulled a hammy again there's like a freaking slip and slide down [Music] all right bub you ready for this mud this time yeah you got yours get your feet dug in dude i can't no more hammy he's got good but he's got no attraction finally feel like we got it we built something out of steel you know people they think the house is going to fall down immediately if we build it out of wood if it's out of brick they don't like that either i thought they would and finally we built something out stealing the freaking shed yeah it's gonna hold a lot more i feel good about it though arlo was just saying we would have this thing built if all this was wood instead of steel at this point probably no this is cooler no i'm with you but just you know just something to note this is taking forever and it's a lot of work just remember this is free steel and free wood well yeah well he actually paid for the wood so it's not well at some point we did yeah a long time ago yeah and you know what i paid for half of it probably a really good price so i'm gonna park my freaking bike or something nice to see a piece of wood huh yeah it's so light [Music] one other uh fancy cut here what's that all about yeah we call that the chauffeur cut um just to make sure that because that welds in there yup if it was 90 still would hit that and be that's the chauffeur is that what it's called yeah yeah the chauffeur cut chamfer oh chamfer yeah chamfer cut yeah that's what that is that way it sits in there we can get all that i can't even see you cause that hat brim there you are there we go this overcut [Music] this is like incredible joyce hanger itself yeah this is pretty i almost wish jamie was gonna put like a plexiglass floor in this or something you know it's pretty cool looking with the oak and the steel and the bolts but the only question is should we have notched three-eighths out of those so they hit level with this you know now he's gonna have that little shut your dirty knife we're to the point of having the four framing done i gotta say this was a lot of work and this method of construction is very strong yet very labor intensive especially all the steel parts and the welding and drilling and heavy lifting um also we had to rip you know all these two by sixes of oak down that took some time but in the end i gotta say it's super strong i love the way it looks and i'm happy with it [Music] you think jason knows he needs the airline on that thing yet we've done the foundation we've done the floor framing and now we're on to the floor decking out of stuff that we had already yeah and i think the decking part is actually going to be the easiest part of this entire build it's good it's good shoot it oh man that's gonna how would you got that turned on that'll go i should go check the pressure yeah jamie was just saying he thought that the nailing of this decking would be the easiest of the whole thing and we can't get a nail to go even like well i mean that's a good halfway in but hit those with a hammer i want to see what they do clinch clinching there's there's no chance i think that the moral of this whole build is gonna be it's cheaper to buy materials than to use what you have and have a lot more labor huh wow wow what is going on right now what we're always answering questions about what we think of these cordless nailers and today we're getting a little more insight here into sort of a mixed bag of results here uh so the air nailer on this unless i crank the pressure up to 200. um try that uh the d wall somehow is just is driving the nails all the way the dewalt's doing it i know what about the pass lid not really not doing it we're gonna have to go one more button on your shirt there sorry i was trying to cool off man it was hot sorry [Music] hey his neighbor called told you to go f yourself [Laughter] yeah but that is pretty loud i hear it echoing what hello hello hello people up at tater knob are like what is that noise [Music] how's it going over there [Music] [Laughter] [Music] in keeping with the theme of not buying any wood for this project it's very cool i think that all of this wood came from trees here at my house and at my friend's house only one mile from here cool so all that wood is used right here boom's gonna serve me on this property and were those trees like where your house was or just off the street no they were actually dead trees on the edge of the property the branches were falling out um and i called my actually they were my neighbor's trees to be no he said i could cut them this giant dead branch is falling in my driveway and i have young kids riding around here and they're on their bicycles and stuff so i called them and said hey these trees are dead can i cut them he said cut them so uh i hired a guy to cut him that's what you told the guy that cut him in yeah uh so that's how that's how i got all this wood it was actually here and it was it was a hazard it was a danger uh so we kind of did a good story yeah [Music] what are you guys making i'll tell you what you start that end oh we're making the wall framing now looks heavy it's white pine oh it's pine pine really i was actually scared to use it but it doesn't matter not inspected it don't matter it's actually fine it's totally fine white pine studs two by fours not three and a half just like you used to see you're still gonna have to cut it [Music] so our platform is done and i'm just wondering we spent most of the morning just making the studs right yeah i mean basically taking these huge boards and making studs um it was free material uh but i was just doing some maths to figure out we saved maybe 400 like 40 studs 10 bucks a stud for a 2x6 stud right now uh there was like four of us working on this uh does that add up probably not probably not so that's something maybe we'll talk about more of that in the video of you know was it actually cheaper to have free material hmm uh oh now i just couldn't help it over here i think your math didn't add up on the free material well you know to have a successful youtube video you have to have a really good looking thumbnail okay okay all right you gotta have a really good title to your series yeah and i was thinking about it so i thought we could name this one uh the most inefficient labor intensive uh slowest way to build a barn not for free you thought it was free i thought it was free that's what it's gonna be yet another snag here with this material material we're using that was free is that three inch long framing nails will barely go through it into the stud these are plates do you have like four inch nails somewhere five inch no i don't know what i mean we might have to just tack them and then toenail you can toenail on the front actually on the edge on the edge all right well that was just something to note and i'm just tick marking the the center of 16's here because it's i mean we can eyeball center and we got a super wide stud right like i think that worked just fine i need about a thousand of those now [Music] [Music] did just me or jamie forget to lay out jacks on the wall he forgot to lay out walls dude we don't need jacks on anything like this you just put stuff in that's all right let's pause for a second i want to count how many nails you're having to use in one of these i mean normally you would use three okay so we got one two three four five six seven eight eight nine nine ten ten ten so we're losing on the i got one thing to say and that was rare eye oh my gosh dude he would have lost his mind one world you put them on who are you talking about there you go oh golden boy no you're supposed to put 15. hey those were all leftover nails though right yeah we didn't buy any of them yeah i mean we bought them well at some point in time yeah but not we've been saving them for this and ray's out oh that's nice tapped out all right who's holding it i got it i got it i got it [Music] so if i do six feet i think you need to go back there again i don't know if you're good with that all right so we're gonna remember how we had a plan it was gonna look kind of like this right well you can forget all that okay see based on what the pile of material has given me i'm thinking i'm gonna change the plan okay i don't have rafters long enough okay i don't and i was gonna glue them up and make some staggered glued up nailed up screwed up all that and then i decided against it because i had some more two-by-material that would make good rafters but they're too short uh-huh we were actually gonna put a steel beam in the center of the span break the span and put a little plate there see i drew a little metal plate to bolt it through so what's what's the plan now well so instead of doing that i decided against that for a couple reasons we don't need to talk about it um all right so i started drawing on pencil and paper here all right so what we're probably going to do um and i just drew a really quick sketch by the way i drew that while we were driving to dinner in the car if you wonder why it's all squiggly then uh don't worry about that we were actually driving um okay i think this is the one we want to see no i wasn't driving i wasn't the one i wasn't driving okay now there's two though and i think i've already decided which one to do but i want to make it feel like you get a say in it too the maximum rafter length i have is 12 feet okay so i started at the back and i and i went 12 feet and to see how far to the front i could get and then we're going to do this kind of like a little steeper shorter pitch in the front eight twelve four twelve so that's a four and eight and then this is a three and a six okay and i also drew two types of siding we got the six inch lap siding and then the uh the board and baton vertical and i think we're going to do that it looks less busy okay see how it's like less live see that [Music] what is this well we've reached a hold up here because jamie and arlo are uh doing some meeting of the mines that they do this so they drew out the roof system full scale on the floor to make sure that the lengths of the pieces are lengths that we actually have why is it's gonna it's gonna go like that he didn't have rafters long enough to do it in one shot because we're not buying material we're just making the material for twice the cost so this thing is not gonna be a shed no it's going to be nice it's going to be an asymmetrical you know peak like it's going to go way up and then a little down different pitches so while we're staying here waiting we're still getting paid right we're getting paid all the money that he thinks that he's saving that's right [Music] all right now let him try no i ain't trying yeah let's see you do it don't do that now he's let the weight of the saw let the weight of the saw do the work [Music] that was an interesting way to hold it it was very careful [Music] now the question is exactly how i'm going to attach all this together i don't know i'm not saying it now what nothing he said you could have gone and bought 10 tubes at an angle is that what it is it's way angled yeah yeah we were noticing that on some boards bottomed out at zero it's angled bad i think i dropped that off a roof well because this this cuts weight angled and i cut it with the saw all this crap i cut was with this saw i'm sorry it's got some adjustments on it somewhere [Music] we're making a little truss a baby truss we're putting little scabs across the connection between the collar tie and the rafter to hold it from spreading that's the purpose you've also made a full scale jig on the floor to make sure they're all the same i thought why not we'll input each piece of material into the jig that way we got repeatability they all come out of the jig the exact same shape and size and if they don't fit in the jig they get trimmed until they do fit in the jig right and now we're going to start putting these up one and actually we should check this one before we make all right so we're gonna start with this one check the fit and then we're gonna make what seven of these eight of these it's not that many [Music] it's really heavy it's oak that's why we don't do oak trusses i guess suckers heavy this type of truss was uh a fit yeah and it looks real shady yeah yeah it looks shitty all right man shady would you say it's shetty yeah that's slang for [Music] we're down to these last two trusses and it seems like it would be a good idea to put one up and then put the other one up but a good trick that we've learned over the years is that you sort of run out of space if you try to get one up then you need room to flip the next one up there's not room to do it so a good trick we learn is just to get one in place slide it over tack it to an existing truss and just let it chill for a minute while you get the second one up put it in place then untack that one slide it over make it easier on yourself pro tip [Music] i want to point out our scaffolding setup and we haven't used these in a while so many of you may not have seen our wall walker hanging scaffolding that just hangs on the top plate and then it has an extension for your walk board that's a really cool thing in a situation where you have uneven ground or you need to get up a little higher than you usually need to get so i got a few pictures of that for you guys to see but it's a pretty nice thing that we own uh what do you think of uncle jamie's mower shed so far it's rustic looking it's rustic looking what else it's pretty much all [Music] welcome back to barn build day number four all right today we're putting the roof decking on top of these beautiful oak trusses that we made we're ripping down a bunch of oak boards and straight edging them right now that's gonna be the surface of the roof it rained really hard yesterday and i was sad i sat on my porch i watched it pouring rain on my poor little barn and it was getting all wet it did get wet you can really tell i didn't know what might happen because these boards are already butt tight and if you didn't know that's what the egyptians used to use to split rocks with like giant rocks right they would drill holes with them drive wedges really dry wooden wedges into there they would beat them in and then pour water on them and guess what expensive you can split giant boulders with expanding wet wood so it's no joke it's got an immense amount of strength we're immediately into a layout issue this should be the center of our trust the edge of this and that means all these need to go that way to make them plumb but we can't budge these things they're really solid so jamie's rigging up a chain to something what are you going to your truck i'm thinking maybe a tree a tree all right slack is pulled out is the whole building moving um the trusses are it's hard to say right now what's moving between our cable and just pulling this rafter over you can see now we've got it centered up like it's supposed to be right here all right let's do it right here all right yeah yeah yeah ready all right [Music] [Music] [Music] you know this is a lot of work processing this wood um i really can't imagine doing it for like a full-size house and we've got pretty good tools too and we're set up right here so like the old-timers that did this with i don't know like hand tools stuff like that ah that i mean we got everything we need and it still just like sucks you know [Music] looks pretty shady looks pretty shitty yup super shady super what do you think oak or zip board what's your favorite uh zip we had some roll screen material left over from a job and uh it's here and it's free i'm gonna staple it up right here and put some trim around it just to cover the edges of the stapling and boom we got some nice vents i think it's gonna stay cool all summer and cold all winter [Music] ray's got a couple cool specialty guns we're using now they're staplers that one's really a sheathing stapler shoots 7 16 by two inch staples and then that one's a narrow crown and what is that five thirty seconds uh i think it's 7 37 30 seconds narrow crown one inch yeah i think you need to come out a little bit you got a couple of these sticking long by a little okay [Music] [Music] want to go and do roofing underlayment now yeah because it could rain today like any minute actually yeah we should we should do it roofing underlayment also a leftover from uh the farmhouse yeah yeah and uh grace ice and water shield it's supposed to stick it's pretty hot out here it's pretty hot so i think it will in a minute we're out of this what what else you got i think i got that raptor paper okay ray's got ice and water ray's got bitter thing i don't think that'll be good to walk on just so you know almost all this roofing underlayment is going to say no staples but we're shooting staples with a button cap i think they probably mean don't shoot it with just staples don't just use a stapler and the reason is it will tear loose right and you'll slide off the roof potentially you could so i don't know if this is really approved in their instructions but i feel good about it we've done it in a lot of cases um it's way faster than hand nailing with the button caps oh yeah you know we haven't done that in a long time morning welcome to the start of day five barn build here we're never gonna finish this thing it's getting complicated but we're putting on siding already you missed the first little wall but now you're here so we're going to talk about it this building has no sheaving right and the purpose of sheathing among many things is to actually hold the structure from racking laterally side to side yes back in the old days the barn builders would actually put their boards on diagonally and it would be like continually braced everywhere yeah so they were super strong that's right that plywood the siding would be put on diagonally uh but we're not doing that because we don't have enough wood to do that i actually wanted to do that and we ran out of wood thank god i know it's terrible i'm actually glad too well what we're doing is we're using these lp smart side soffit panels okay they're 16 inches wide and we are shooting them about every four or five inches along the edges yeah imagine it like riveting an airplane together or something like that that's what we're doing that is providing the lateral shear resistance they were a freebie they were left over from a job that's that's right and i think it's gonna work great all right let's get going all right [Music] uh i wouldn't hurt y'all got a super highway here all the way around here that's not bad i've had way worse thank you that's what i'm looking [Music] i got the biggest nappiest nap i could find the nastiest biggest happiest now yeah what do you think yeah as well it's gotta go gotta go more [Music] so have you guys ever heard of a she shed um i have yeah yeah what i'm thinking is there's no way his wife is gonna let him put mowers in this thing this is gonna be her getaway has your wife said the word she shed in the last few days does that come up in any conversation none zero just watch out for that word you're in t-r-o-u-b-l-e yeah uh you might have been sniffing some of your black chalk oh i didn't i did it's every day dude it gets all over everything why doesn't all the other colors of chalk do that something about the black jar [Music] so [Music] yeah like that oh yeah that's nice holding up are you having fun up there ray hold the middle up hold the middle up right good look at that baton work right there oh yeah that's beautiful hey where's ray i don't know uh i see empty skittles in a sugar gatorade he's probably passed out yeah we should probably actually look for him right [Music] here it comes [Music] oh ray's tented out wow hey so what's going on now it's raining i don't know that might be it uh what time is it i think like 3 30. yeah we're done that's it it's monday morning we're back for day six of our barn bill with jamie and i think he might have just broken the rules of not buying anything ramps where did these come from these weren't here i've never seen these no so i don't know if he paid for them or not oh i think he might have just might have been donated okay a gentleman friend of his well that would be nice let's go find out did you buy the ramps or were they donated all right so all right this whole thing about building it with what we have there there have been some exceptions oh i had to buy paint i had to buy paint but the ramps oh the ramps okay um i am gonna pay 120 for the ramps okay although i got a story real quick that we might just work out a trade remember that table saw that we left out in the rain and it quit working yeah all right it sat around here for a while i just left it out in the rain for a couple more weeks i eventually i i cut the cord off of it because it had a nice cord on it that we put on it and i i took it down to my buddy at the machine shop at the scrapyard and said hey you can have this it's got a lot of metal in it he was happy so he asked me the other day when i went to get these ramps from him that's where it came from like a salvage yard uh he said why did you throw that saw away i thought it doesn't work he said oh it works great what he said but the only problem was somebody cut the cord off of it i said well i cut the cord off of it because it didn't work he's like well i just wired a new cord on it he said it runs great huh no way i said well i guess you lucked out my friend you got you a saw i'm happy for you so it might be a trade it might be a trade of a saw that didn't work that does now and now i got some ramps that could be a good trade hey [Music] all right so here's my little cross section here that's going to be my trim board there and then we'll put the angle in you know right there of course [Music] [Music] if we've learned one thing working in town what is it go to lunch early that's right everybody gets out for lunch at 12 everywhere else not these guys we go 11 30 first in line [Music] [Music] now are you just doing this you don't have to paint or for some reason you're digging your brother the king of the ideas decided that he wants to put a little gravel thing pudding yeah seems a little extra well i'm sure it is extra uh we need to get this one right now thanks oh it's beautiful it's a little humpy in the middle there but i think it's all right like even if it's not level the gravel we can just like what does gravel self level anyways i said do not know your uncle jamie he wants the dirt level under the level gravel yeah no one's gonna see the gravel or the dirt oh my gosh please go tell him that [Laughter] he's throwing it in the bar that was on purpose sorry where did you get the gravel his neighbor so you just skim some off the top yeah okay so that was free that's all i'm checking on make sure he's not buying gravel behind my back so doesn't the gravel like level itself because you can kind of down towards level like the dirt doesn't have to be level for the gravel to be level see the dirt does not have to see the man knows what he's talking about we should listen to him yes the dirt does not have to be perfectly level correct i ain't even need more gravel he's not gonna have any gravel left on the driveway i got jamie's ramps [Music] so that's your pudding there it is big piece of galvanized and it is galvanized i didn't realize that at first yeah so that'll do better underground i think it'll last long enough it'll last a long time yeah wow [Music] this uh galvanized zinc stuff doing some crazy stuff i don't think it likes it wow so we are aware that the smoke or the fumes off of the zinc coating is hazardous so the wind is blowing it that way i was making sure not to breathe any of the smoke we're going to grind away the zinc so that when i weld we're not burning zinc with the welder making a uh gas-ish gas gaseous gaseous spelling [Music] i'm trying to catch everything here but there's a lot happening uh arlo and jonah are in here building a barn door processing wood yeah and uh this is cool that's off of like one barn door through the wood processing there on one side of the board one side of the board it's a lot of sawdust [Music] don't my wife see that he won't wear one but he'll use mine hey this thing's got a pretty good reach step over this way a little bit would you i don't need to oh okay good there we go i got another one for you there you go oh i missed this pot right here i'll draw that wow look at that reach that's better than i thought we're using these drywall screws to screw the rail on this door and jonathan's got a pretty cool pro tip using some hand soap to lubricate sexually arlo's idea yeah uh it works great yeah i think it'll keep it from snapping the heads off these things which maybe it would otherwise well and as soon as the head sets all the soap comes squirting out and your door's really clean and no snap screws so that's exactly it it's hard to get a snap screw out of a piece of oak if you never try that [Music] [Music] see all my camping's paid off here jamie's commandeered me to help help him build a little lean to here to keep the rain off him he just can't wait huh yeah he's got he's got him on the barn door sliders there dude that's not bad he knows what he's doing so we've been here all day and and the weather keeps saying no it's not going to rain it's not going to rain and guess what it's raining still i think you might need something here in the middle jane really i don't know if this is going to work very well man it's good it's good oh yeah go backwards that's great that's great what was that drill i don't know we can call it a day i don't care i mean i don't know [Music] how is it welding in the mud stuff it's terrible you think it's bad however bad you think it is it's way worse than that i can tell you otherwise things are going great this bottom section is fully welded out it probably took 10 times longer than somebody that's good at welding would take to do it but it is done i believe it's very strong and now that i got all the extra ground off it it actually doesn't look bad [Music] we're back at the barn build for day like seven or eight we kind of lost a couple days with rain and bad weather and the ramp has turned out to be this massive project because we're making it out of this heavy duty galvanized steel it's gonna be a great ramp i think so we're going to finish it out we're going to ride up this ramp today so is the ramp all you envisioned oh it's more than i envisioned you know more time more money more hassle more sweat the cost of this ramp is who knows with the labor who like but it's going to be here forever hey let's take a quick look at the prep work for the welding here you can see there's a bevel on both of my pieces and the reason for that is so that the weld goes all the way down to the bottom of the thickness of the material we're talking 3 8 of an inch you can imagine if you just butt two pieces tight at the top and there was no gap or anything like that you could weld the top and it would look good but your weld wouldn't be very strong because it's kind of sitting on top of the material and actually by the time you dress it off with a grinder and make it look nice all your weld will be gone it's very important to back bevel and get full penetration i don't think you can say that it's a technical welding term cut i don't think it is [Music] so jamie decided to screw these ramps down instead of welding them to the frame for whatever reason and we're using these self-tapping screws and it's working i didn't think it'd go through the 3 8 right there we're thinking this piece of trex decking is going to keep this in from kind of crushing under the weight which it was bowing a little bit which i don't think is good but uh we'll just cut little pucks we didn't even ask jamie so that was a dad perkins fix and sometimes those aren't good with jamie sometimes he wants a fantasy he never likes my ideas uh fancier fill the dirt flush up with the tracks i don't think it's a bad idea so we're gonna try this one jono you better put that drill in fast as you can go it's gonna storm again it's coming tater knob is gone no i see it still there [Music] [Music] it's a nice ramp it is a nice ramp i have in front of me here the barn door rollers that go in the barn door track and we did buy these from tractor supply okay as much fun as it would probably be to try to make something like this it was like 120 bucks for all four of these one problem is we could not locally find two sets the same so we bought this one set that has a plate and that's what we really wanted to mount to the door the only other ones they had had this like through bolt mounting that's supposed to go through the top uh rail of your door so we're gonna have to modify this set now to be like this set so there is some amount of work and we're just gonna really quick show you how we did that foreign [Music] [Music] that sucker is in there kylie i hope it don't break off oh yeah wow she's really tight we might need some lube on this hey get the vegemite where's the vegetable this bolt really doesn't want to come out so i'm using all my strength here to squeeze these channel lock pliers did you know that depending on which way you're turning the nut or the bolt that you actually would rotate and flip these a certain way yes and uh you want to show us the correct way i will so this is the correct way for i'm going to go counterclockwise and so when you when you put pressure on it it sort of has a self-closing kind of clamping more force on the head and if you flip it around and and i'm gonna pull counterclockwise again this way it sort of will spin easier no matter how hard you squeeze the handles it will still slip but again it has that self kind of tightening action when you pull it this way yeah see that's a good tip there you go we've already booged do you know that i did not know that i'm seriously had no no one's ever taught me that you're welcome nobody nobody hey you learn something new every day you can't teach an old dog new tricks we will have to plunge a hole in the top of the door where this bolt comes through i think but that's i mean that's way heavier duty than what they gave what they gave us [Music] wow that's tough i don't think that's gonna go yeah that's oak that's uh ingrained oak that's not gonna work oh yeah you hear that [Music] [Music] [Music] why did we not put it on the low side when you can just slide it over i call that the low side it's the high side i mean the lower it's lower to the ground yeah pretty aren't they metallic yeah yeah i really like that painting so that's your uh stops yeah these are my uh keep the doors from just oop yeah right now at the end right out the end of the track yeah i'll mention we probably could have bought these yeah i'm sure they had a part like that and i just didn't so i like these better okay actually how do you know trust me i do come on yeah i think that's that's pretty good right there [Music] i don't think it's meant to pop wheelies like that dude it's out of gas wow talk about poor planting there's no gas in it there's a gas gauge but i can't read it wow it's it's i'm pretty sure it cats it's right there oh gosh isn't that mixed gas yeah it's for like uh weed eaters this ought to be interesting [Applause] [Music] [Music] how did you time that so perfect i was looking through the hole in the door oh really yeah i saw him coming through the hall i said hey [Laughter] that was awesome that looked hilarious was that a pressure sensor [Music] it is day [Music] last day whatever day that is i think it's the last day on the barn build here with the crew we're going to be installing the roofing and today it's going to be shingles now the whole theme of this was build with what you have and even though i have a lot of leftover metal roofing all the pieces are different colors i probably have enough to do two of these barns out of leftover metal roofing but since it's very visible from my front porch from my house or my driveway we decided to go ahead and spend the 700 that it cost to buy these shingles that match my house so that everything here is kind of cohesive is that the right word sure whatever [Music] and that's it the mower barn is done but was it really free not exactly if you figure we had an average of four men for five working days plus the cost of shingles and paint and barn door hardware it really came out to about sixty seven hundred dollars which is really pretty fair for a structure like this in today's market i know that jamie was super pumped to get this project done so quickly and easily and i hope you enjoyed building with us thanks for watching [Music] like and subscribe [Music] you
