Good

[@IOTWVUVWTOI]

Why not just concrete block fill the space the window occupied? More secure IMO

[@craftedworkshop]

Definitely could have done that but it would have been slower and more expensive since I already had this material.

[@IOTWVUVWTOI]

@@craftedworkshop I was curious lol. Making use of materials to hand is a good budgeting decision though

[@EricAbbottTri]

Love that you worked with a structural engineer to evaluate a structure problem then actually took their advice vs just trying to wing it and doing it yourself. The mark of a true professional.

[@craftedworkshop]

Definitely trying to do things the right way here!

You were pretty lucky to have to Perkins Crew at your service, this job would have taken way much longer I imagine! Loved the not-so-tiny-home series, but this is a very nice series too!

[@HarryLovesRuth]

I'm just a homeowner with a damp basement, but everything I've read says that you need to have a way to get the moisture out of those walls. We did an interior dimple board barrier so that we could separate the framing from the brick walls but still suck the moisture out with a dehumidifier. This looks like the equivalent of putting your foundation in a ziplock bag, but maybe I'm wrong.

[@Treehandler]

Drylok he applied on his walls plus creating a positive grade away from building will make the amount of moisture in his building negligible. If you have a basement that is either fully below grade or the section that is below grade with a negative slope towards basement then you would definitely need exterior drainage to let water perc away from the building and air gaps in the interior to allow circulation.

[@haphazard1342]

There's also the possibility of adding a French drain or weeping tile drain system against the exterior of the block foundation, since they can easily gravity drain towards the front of the building.

[@craftedworkshop]

That’s the plan, positive drainage and potentially some kind of French drain or drain tile should take care of it.

[@someyoungguy6990]

I only found this channel after going through every PBB vid and seeing how highly they respect you and your work! I can easily see why you guys all get along so well

[@CharlezMalasana]

I’m only at minute 3 but wondering if smaller windows with outdoor blinds would have helped. Im a content creator for brands and I’m rebuilding my shop too, right now I only have one window, the other one i swapped it for a wall Ac and I miss natural light a lot. I understand the benefits of controlling the environment but natural light is so soothing to work with (at least to me). Big fan of the series

[@robinfell1979]

Been enjoying this new series and loving the use of all the old timber. Most people can’t afford complete new On a build so nice to see someone reusing old.

Stumbled upon your channel from a comment you made on cuckoos op1 tutorial from yearsssss ago! Dope videos man. I’m not even INTO wood building but you made me interested in it. That’s the sign of a quality video as far as I’m concerned 👌🏾👌🏾

I've been recommending this to my mates, this is such an epic build series, I've watched some of your other videos and this is by far the most addictive, I just cant wait to start seeing less of the walls, and start seeing the noticeable progression. this is such an under watched channel but mainly under watched build series, this workshop conversion is so entertaining

[@keepsanity9613]

that truck going backwards at 3:24 caught me of guard

[@MVD-SC]

I think the wooden buttresses are there because the retaining wall is tilted. So as a safety measurement the previous tenant/owner installed these triangular walls against the concrete part of the exterior wall. If I had to tackle this problem I would build a couple or three buttresses along this wall but made out of concrete just protruding 80 cms (30 inches) from the surface of this wall

[@bma7978]

Great videos! What’s the plan to correct the grading outside?! Seems like it should be a top priority?

[@tdimccullough]

another reason for getting rid of the windows is, a massive reduction of spider webs, i built a 40 x 30 x10 foot garage, and no windows I think there are about 3 small spiderwebs in the whole garage in the 6 years since it was built

[@harryl7946]

Totally worth the wood shavings for that shot. The screws used on the ladder blocking: which ones did you use please. I have some blocking to install and getting 411 on which ones and why. NOT asking for a friend. 😉

[@vsmochent]

9:44 OH NO!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂 YOU'RE TOO FOCUS ON A SHOT THOUGH! 😂😂😂

[@piggybakkers]

Really enjoy your videos. Just a point. If you are getting moisture on that back wall. All that plastic sheet is going to do is condense it and it will collect in the floor and rot the base of your stud wall. It needs airflow.

[@craftedworkshop]

There's no actual water coming in, mostly just trying to help with humidity. This is a vapor retarder, meaning moisture can still permeate, it just does so more slowly.

[@piggybakkers]

@@craftedworkshop Great. I didn't want to come across as critical or negative. too much of that on here.

[@craftedworkshop]

No problem, didn’t take it that way! Love to hear feedback and ideas as long as they’re constructive. I’m definitely not an expert here, learning stuff every day!

[@lulz4325]

08:20 The structural engineer probably called for a double top plate because the building is old and the joists would probably not line up with the studs which would cause load transfer issues (sagging). A double top plate solves this by distributing whatever falls on the upper top plate across the lower top plate evenly. Could be wrong but this is my guess

[@DumpsterMarcus]

Loveing this ship renovation!! 🤙

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks!

[@ryan-ee4fd]

You could’ve framed those walls on the ground and stood them up, since the studs and two plates are 1.5” shorter than the overall due to the double top plate (which is literally not doing anything). Just nail the upper top plate to the bottom of the joists, frame the wall, then stand it up and slide it under the upper top plate. If it’s tight, coerce it with a nine pound hammer. I’m surprised Jason didn’t suggest that

[@craftedworkshop]

That would assume the slab is perfectly flat, and it’s far from it. I think this was a lot simpler considering we would have had to done a lot of planing and scribing to fit the walls.

[@ryan-ee4fd]

@@craftedworkshop that’s understandable

[@eoinfarnan1493]

[@paulrenton7160]

Are you going to insulate the walls as well? will help you keep down the heating and cooling costs over time while you have easy access.

[@craftedworkshop]

That’s the plan!

[@nicosand86]

Like other people have said, these videos are too short, and too far apart. It makes me feel like an addict going too long without my fix!! :D

Hah, one week is barely enough time to get the editing done! You guys can just rewatch the previous episodes 😁

[@robertkerby2581]

You guys did Amazing work!

[@craftedworkshop]

Thank you so much!

[@JonathanFisherS]

Looking good! To ask stupid question: Is mold buildup behind the vapor block an issue? I guess it's sealed, so it doesn't matter, but just curious to hear from an expert. Thanks!

[@craftedworkshop]

It shouldn't encourage mold, as this is a vapor retarder, meaning it just slows the transmission of moisture. Completely blocking it would likely lead to mold.

[@renski8976]

I'm surprised you guys didn't stagger your top plates.

[@nkuete]

that shot was worth you getting covered in sawdust...TWICE!

[@craftedworkshop]

😂 glad to hear it!

[@nox_trond4648]

why the dubble sill, thats so you can place the studes where you want them , so it correct and the right way to do it since the weight can be cuite alot from above good for you

[@johnp1]

It's good to see the Perkins guys in action. However, they don't seem to share many "pro tips" as they normally do. You might add that to the contract next time you hire them 🙂

[@craftedworkshop]

Hah, these guys work so darn fast it’s hard to slow them down enough to get them on camera 😂

[@bzrturk8478]

The sun disappears on the horizon. everyone is in the heat of passion. I cannot separate man from man. If an ant loses its nest, I will not be able to sleep that night. Whether it's an Eskimo youth at the poles or a strange black man in Africa, language, religion, color doesn't matter, since we have human respect. Colors don't matter. The important thing is to live and let live as HUMAN. Salute to those who value humanity... I hope you honor us with your visit.

[@shaharsdechen2537]

looking great!

[@ranlove47]

Gotta say really nervous about the grade sending water into the wall where the windows were. That really needs some serious attention. Best plan is not to depend on just the water proofing but fix the outside problem too.

[@craftedworkshop]

I specifically said I was planning to do that a little later in the video. I’m waiting on a professional for that, I’m at the mercy of their schedule.

Would like to know about the engineering on that wall with joist hangers on the floor plate and the double top plate. Is the point to keep the concrete wall from bowing more?

What about some sort of double pane opaque window setup for natural light but less intensity?

[@craftedworkshop]

I could have done a lot of things to filter the light, but it's next to impossible to buy windows in a reasonable time frame right now, so I went this route.

[@JoshuaRes]

@@craftedworkshop that makes a lot of sense. We just finished a building here and windows delivery times were atrocious.

@1:54 I think running zip tape on the bottom of the pressure treated board would be cheap insurance? I believe Kyle/RR Bldg does that.

I’ve seen him do it on non-treated stuff but I think it’d be overkill on this stuff since it’s rated for ground contact.
