Removing one wall at a time was a "renovation" project and not a "construction" project. A lot of restaurants and small businesses follow this rule and will leave one existing wall standing while they build around it so the city cannot call it new construction. This happens a lot when a structure is grandfathered into an existing permitting, code limitation, or other red-tape related issue.

So as a HVAC technician and someone who likes your channel I feel like I need to tell you that I’m pretty sure I saw in the video that you just rounded up all the extra refrigerant lines behind the unit. Which isn’t a issue because you do have to have a minimum line set length but the fact that you put the condenser relatively close to the wall plus you have the refrigerant lines bunched up behind the unit (we’re the condenser coil is located) it’s going to cause the air flow across those coil fins to decrease. You can fix this by just bringing the unit out an extra foot or two away from the wall while leaving the extra line set right up against the wall (It will look kinda ugly,but work). Other than that I don’t see anything you could do without just moving the condenser head until you have no extra line set creating almost no slack taking up the air space behind that the unit requires to cool properly. This would also make your life easier when it comes to cleaning the coil which I do suggest doing every 6 months seeing how your in Texas and and your going to be running that unit almost always in cooling. And seeing how you have this in a shop with all kinds of dust and grease, I heavily suggest you cleaning the filters in the condenser head at least every month if not weekly. Otherwise you will learn how to take that mini split head apart just to replace a blower motor and to clean the blade. But yeah, hope those points are helpful to you and I didn’t just waist both are times telling you stuff you already knew. Video point were I’m talking about “ 24:53 “ .

That back-wall being bowed laterally, was most likely the result of impact damage (car/truck not stopping in time/more than once maybe😅) and not a construction oversight. The bolt remaining upright after all these years was thanks to the bottom sill runner having a firm hold on it at the time of wall-impact(s). The fracture of the foundation behind the bolt, gives a clue to how the jarring force was applied/experienced. Anyways, excellent rework my friend!

Just built a similar, albeit smaller shop. 12x25. Nice job on your new workshop! Some thoughts: As you found out, assemble conduit, then pull wire. Use fish tape, a plastic bag, and a shop vac to suck the fish tape though, then pull the wire. Use lots of lube and bring a friend lol. Not sure if you’re going by the 2023 NEC, but you probably need expansion couplings where your pvc leaves the ground. It is designed to compensate for soil movement. For aluminum wiring, it’s very important to torque the wires to the rated torque. Get a small torque wrench or screwdriver to do this. Proper grading is really important. You want the ground to slope away from your shop. It’s probably too late for this, but I wrapped my shed in 1” of poly iso insulation. It’s an additional r-6 and eliminates thermal bridging from the studs. It’s very nice, and not too expensive. I ran fiber optic in my power feed conduit to provide internet for the shop. You could do point to point connection, or similar. Getting water away from the shop is important, gutters and a French drain was my solution. Your shop will be so comfortable once the attic insulation goes in.

When i helped renovate our small workshop my stepdad bless his old heart bought the cheapest he could get, and i *HATED* putting them in, absolute nightmare. There's a reason i go more pricey and follow what my company buys, because i know its genuine quality, although i admit the quality of the plug sockets had dropped a while back, but they picked up again. Of course, our electrical codes, outlets and basically everything differ. Wow what a rant, my bad. Point is, you gotta be smart about what you buy and where you get the knowledge from. Also, running wires in conduit and piecing them together one after the other, after pulling in said wire, is a violation? What kind of bs standards you got over there? Makes literally no difference, we do it all the time, the spanish do it with flexible single core throughout every building (Their wiring drove me mad as a german electrician).

I am only learning how to frame and do small stuff, that is a huge job you did there mate. I am planing on roofing an open area here in the back, some of the stuff you did is going to help a lot.

Long time, no video. Glad to see a new one. Nice progress in the garage. I’m sure a thousand people are gonna say this, but once you add insulation to the roof, it’s actually gonna make the biggest difference. 80% of all your heat gain is from the roof. But another entertaining and interesting video. Some day it will be a nice workshop

Great video! Did a similar project in Houston in August about 15 years ago on 3 structures for my brother in law. Also ran a new subpanel into a garage, very similar to you. I remember so many of those challenges you covered!

This series truly does go to show why people just knock things like this down and re-build em'. There's absolutely something to be said for fixing it, instead of replacing it; just as with a car. Mad respect.

It may take a lot more time, but it does save on materials, such as not pouring new footers, reusing the existing rafters, etc. Also, there was never a time where there was no roof on the shop.

Nice installation and garage build ! Pro tip: read the instructions. Like the instructions in the Mr. Cool installation manual that say to not leave the extra lineset coiled in a vertical position but rather to lay it flat so oil lock doesn't kill the compressor. Have an hvac bro help you and modify/change that lineset. Happy New Year !

As an Eastern european contractor i love to see, that you almost fully explain why and how you do electrical,framing, ect. work in the U.S. without thinking that is the only acceptable way, it is a breath of fresh air. It's respectable that you as a random person who didn't had a clue how to fix this kind of damage, could do it in the long run. This is the kind of content i love to see, like your car renovating/fixing videos. It's shows that you can achieve anything if you are determined enough! Also great editing, and making this project enjoyable for the viewer. Definitely will watch your content later on! Keep up the good work! Support from Hungary 👌👌👌

Excellent video...thanks for all the quality content! When I did my shop, I also wanted a bunch of outlets around the perimeter. However, I wanted to ensure I could run multiple tools simultaneously in the same physical areas of the shop so I placed my outlets 5' apart along the walls but I ran each bank on two separate circuits...alternating the outlet's circuit around the perimeter. This, in effect, made every other outlet a different circuit so I could plug two high amp tools in and run them in the same area of the shop without overloading one circuit. Anyway, thanks again for the upload and Happy New Year!

Even though it takes about seven months (not always)for you to upload a new video, the passion and love you show in every one is remarkable. I’m from Colombia and really enjoy your content.
