Custom End Walls on Our Quonset Hut Dream Shop: Really Hard to Build, but So Worth It!

This time at Sally's Speed Shop we work on building the front and back walls of the shop to give our quonset hut our own custom touch! We ultimately saved money doing it this way and ended up with a much better looking building overall.

Jacob. Again I see that your dad is right there with you. You surely need to Thank God for your dad each and every day. Thanks to all you dads out there that help their children to accomplish some dreams and goals.

Duuuuude a Country boy will survive. that place looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing the story.

Shop looks incredible. I can't believe y'all were working at night (dark) with all those lights and no bugs (or no complains from y'all about them). I just assisted my brother up in northern South Dakota assembling one of these (June) and we attempted to work at night and the bugs were just terrible as they''d come to the light (which we had far away from us) and get trapped in the inside "ribbing" sections. And they'd attack eyes and ears (had a mask over my mouth/nose). Even fogging the area and Off applied they were relentless. Again glad you were able to make progress even in the dark. Those are some LONG days. Love the red neck ladder for the outside access (deer stand ladder modification). Keep up the excellent work and appreciate the updates to the shop progress.

Thank you for not making me feel like shit about myself for not having my building done yet. 🤦‍♂️ shit happens but will get the end walls up this week I know it 😂

[@FeralGypsy8]

I love that wood front! It really pops. I've watched both videos looking at the quonset hut raising. Enjoyed all of it. Ya'll did a really good job:)

[@jimcabezola3051]

Now that's a shop that one would just WANT to hang out and get work done in! It's industrial art as far as I'm concerned. With Moby supervising, there's nothing you folks can't do!

[@SallysSpeedShop]

Thanks Jim! It really turned out great! Moby keeps us all on track haha

PLEASE TELL GRANDMA THAT MY WIFE & I LAUGHED FOR TEN MINUTES WATCHING HER HAVE SO MUCH FUN DURING THAT 'BURN OUT"!!!! (in your last video). THE FUNNIEST THING WE'VE EVER SEEN!!! GOD BLESS YOU GRANDMA... WE LOVE YA!! AND GOD BLESS ALL GRANDPARENTS EVERYWHERE! : ) LONG LIVE SALLY'S SPEED SHOP!! Amen Retired, Veteran

[@SallysSpeedShop]

Aww thank you! I’m out to dinner so I’ll tell her right now! Thanks for watching! 🙌🏼 I had her read the comment herself. She says thank you! 😊

[@BowenOrg]

@@SallysSpeedShop Straight from the heart... nothing more, nothing less! Love what you did with the "ends" of the Quonset... one of the best designs I've seen and I've downloaded 1,000s to help us with ideas (for our retirement home!). PS: don't be afraid to record EVERYTHING you do in your videos... if you're interested in more views and making more money. You'll be surprised at what people will watch. Look at Andrew Camarata.. he's done 100s of videos of just "basic" landscaping jobs with big construction rigs and his views are through the roof... and he hardly ever speaks! Have A Beer "On Me"... and buy Grandma a glass of wine please! ha! ha! and keep building unique projects! It's great that you can spend so much time with your Dad... enjoy every second you can!

[@robinjonson4186]

Very nice !!!

[@USSBB62]

Its the little details that interest me. How the lights are attached. How you going to do the water connections. Air compressor lines. Those things that to you take to much time so you don't show. Well editing doesn't mean leaving it out. Love what you have done so far, really. Thanks. "But there's More"

[@randiD123]

LOVE THAT OLD SCHOOL GAS STATION DOOR! I would def consider that for a home option. Imagine that opening to a screened porch.... On the few un-hot days we get in the south....! Sweet!

[@SallysSpeedShop]

Man, that would be amazing!

[@billlevassiur5891]

Any home project will take long and be more costly than expected. Really nice build.

[@smarternu]

For sure, you are the only one who has those style end walls. looks great.

On the bolt tightening, 8 point socket and a loooong homemade extension. You can do it from floor level.

Lol I remember seeing this all unfold on Instagram.

It's been a minute haha

[@kevincackler5477]

What did you use for your metal ties and was each tie connected to the building with just a single bolt?

[@war_moose5814]

I live in Texas now so snow load isn't an issue

[@dwaynemartelle103]

Excellent how ac is in the future

[@DeadReckon]

Man I feel like I would've just made a reeeeeally long extension for a socket so I didn't have to keep climbing the ladder. Ladders and I do not get along haha! Great work, hope y'all get AC sorted out before you slow roast in this space barrel

[@SallysSpeedShop]

That would have been tricky to maneuver I'm sure, but it could work with the right amount of hand eye coordination haha

[@DeadReckon]

@@SallysSpeedShop If it were me, I'd have to try it, I nearly fell off a 2 step ladder putting up a ceiling fan in my bedroom the other day haha!

[@SallysSpeedShop]

@@DeadReckon oh boy! Sometimes it’s the short ladders that get you somehow 😅

[@DeadReckon]

@@SallysSpeedShop Short ladders scare me more than tall ones haha!

[@giesoncustoms4146]

I’m building a smaller Quonset hut. How did you attach studs to steel? Lag bolts?

[@maddog3080]

Is this building also going to be insulated? If so, how are you going to do it. I have a similar building and am looking for advice on insulating it

[@justinsikes2221]

Yeah, wood isn't always easier. Steel studs for th win

[@SallysSpeedShop]

Wood certainly isn't easier, but man does it look good on this hut!

[@wesm3915]

Definitely wouldn't work here in Montana, in floor heating, 4" spray foam throughout and to much glass for winter.

[@joshjablonicky171]

Actually quite a few ways you could do that I will see the simplest way is the best. Fortunately I grew up in a construction family my parents had two construction companies general contractors which was nice cuz I worked for him on and off as a labor but as I grew up and got my first house I ever had questions or issues I did make a phone call and the right direction pretty quick. This is well before KZbin is established like it is now guarantee you can get online and find a lot of ways to doing it.

[@SallysSpeedShop]

KZbin definitely helps, but there’s not a lot of information out there about building your own end walls on a Quonset hut. Luckily common sense goes a long way haha

[@joshjablonicky171]

@@SallysSpeedShop yes it does no I'm not familiar with your setup I worked on a smaller one that was actually surplus from world war II and more or less is kind of framed it in with wood I had a lot of custom cutting if it everything and then from there slap up your plywood or however you plan on doing the end walls. The one I worked on the guy had a whole bunch of windows this week frame the perimeter using steel brackets that would bolt to the wood and then able to stick frame it and set it up for all the windows to go in. Obviously you guys have lots of common Sense it's great to see you and your dad out there working together I wish I had that relationship with my father you're very lucky man thank you for all the hard work you put into your channel when I seen you back way back in the day at Finnegan's garage working with him and on your car I knew them you were going to have going KZbin channels just matter of when and it's an awesome channel tell everybody my friends who watch car content to check out Sally's speed shop it would be really happy and fascinated with all the stuff he does a lot of shenanigans you can tell you guys generally are just having a good time and recording it putting it up for us thank you
