DESTROYING THE SHOP TO FIND THE LEAK. Can we find it?!

[@PAVEMENTMOD]

If you purchase a 24" floor squeegee you have a 75% chance of it not leaking again.

[@PuddinsFabShop2]

I like the odds!!

[@PuddinsFabShop2]

😂😂

[@markhookom5371]

I live in Minnesota and with the new cars we have snow trapped everywhere, it dripps out of everywere! a floor squeegee and a " Slush Buster " are needed tools!

[@MikeLutz-e8p]

YOU GOT 2 GREAT CONTRACTORS! TO COME OUT ON INSTANT NOTICE, SHOWS THEY ACTUALLY CARE. VERY RARE IN THAT FIELD.

[@robertwilliams8010]

Puddin, don’t knock you second channel videos, they are awesome!

[@russellfuchs7903]

I actually enjoy them more.

[@russellfuchs7903]

It's no surprise Theo is not a fan of the rain. He definitely spent some time trying to hide from it. Bless you and your family for taking him in.

[@msmrx57]

Keeping it real and showing all the struggles is part of what makes your channels great. You're only one man, that kind of limits what you can get done. Don't stretch yourself too far and always take care of your body. I've learned that lesson the hard way.

[@Xcitebike]

I don't know about everyone else, but for me it's more like hanging out with a buddy and having some good laughs. I'll watch whatever lol.

[@TheSandman614]

Hey MA, Puddins tearing up that shop that he just built

[@waltalbright]

😂

[@desireearmstrong9302]

You need gutters all around the building. Maybe some in ground drainage in the concrete area around back. Make sure the grade all around is sloped away from the building as well.

[@ecoalex]

Bingo right on , gutters, proper` flashing, and sealing joints, it's difficult joining a new pour to an old slab. Good grades away are so important for extreme weather. In the north, ice adds another hurdle. I always go more than less on grades for that reason.

[@russellfuchs7903]

Listen to this because it is exactly the response you should get from a contractor.

[@russellfuchs7903]

​@@ecoalexas a guy from Wisconsin I say 👍

[@michaellopez809]

Totally agree. Gutters would limit the amount of water that hits that corner of your concrete stab but there is definitely an issue with the stab/building seal.

[@robinbunton913]

Get mortske back. He will figure it out. You have water seeping in from underground.

[@JamesParker-yf7ei]

Puddin i see that Chevy S10 in the garage can't wait for the video keep up the good work

Hey Ma! Puddins got water in his crack 😂

[@weslarue6899]

😂

[@dalesmith112]

Hey Jacob... Next time it's raining that hard, put some food coloring on the concrete just outside the wall where it's coming in under the door to see if it's coming from under the wall.

[@rockkhound943]

I was thinking that also

[@mikewolfe386]

Hey puddin. Bob Vila here again. Nice work with your carpentry. When you reinstalled the door trim and noticed that the contractor had left a space and you put the piece flush to the edge: The contractor did that properly. That space is a ‘reveal’ it serves 2 purposes 1 it looks better by giving the panel more depth or dimension and 2 since wood moves with temperature and humidity it is impossible to make the trim stay flush with the wall over time. By leaving a reveal you allow it to move both ways without being too noticeable. You did fine tho only Tom silva and I would point it out when we come over.

[@j.walker3498]

Theo in the box was the best! I would definitely be okay with couple of hairs on my sweatshirt.

[@MichaelH-u8s]

I think Theo dust should be a request at checkout.

[@j.walker3498]

[@bryanwelch2701]

Make a shirt or hoodie with Theo’s paw print

[@grumpyoldman495]

I'd say just build an overhang extension between both buildings and problem solved. Kick it out about 15 feet and you got another place to park cars to keep out of the weather.

[@wolfc7280]

I'm thinking it's coming from beneath the concrete.. you really need exterior drains or footer tile

[@bobcetta1787]

I think that is exactly what is happening. Drill a hole into the conrete and see if water comes through!

[@martinworrall5888]

I totally agree it’s coming underneath.

[@Dogslife906]

I agree myself. Up here in pa we call them French drains. I think you might need them. I bet it would stop.

[@AnonymousJester]

Get some plastic pallets to put your merch boxes on. Cheap permanent insurance against most water issues. Concrete is porous. Even if you get the rain drainage issue fixed 100%, you could still get issues from groundwater

[@caseytbss]

A moisture meter eliminates the need to tear stuff apart. Same thing with a Flir cam. Just FYI

[@The_Kman]

Tight and right.

[@cammos]

Just wrote the same😂

[@peter-pg5yc]

It only tells where its wet not where its coming in. water is smart..

[@llamacebu216]

By the time you pay for all that it's much cheaper to do what he did and record it. Way cheaper to replace some foam and boards than it is for a plumber

[@cammos]

@peter-pg5yc omg just a flir thermometer will trace the leak and any decent contractor should have atleast a flir u can get em 4 100buks hes done way more in damage!!!

[@nojobmsmc4848]

I'm glad you put the window in the van . Thank-you for repairing the Van.

[@johnd21]

Glad you got a plan to fix the leak. Life certainly always finds a way to change our plans. Hot damn that man van sure looks good with that new glass. 💪

[@greylocke100]

Puddin, at the shop I used to work at we had a leak after they resurfaced the parking lot and the driveway. After months of dealing with it we found out that one of the contractors trucks had clipped the corner of the building. We were maybe 3/16ths off of the foundation. Which normally wouldn't be an issue, but the sill got cracked. They tried digging out the area, and coating it with rubberized sealer, using some weird vinyl rubber stuff and 4 or 5 other methods to stop the leak. What they finally did was to call a foundation mudjacking company that also waterproofed foundations and basements. They injected something into the area which stopped the leak.

[@michaelmount76]

I spy something that starts with a letter C. Thanks for another great 2nd channel video Puddin

[@jamescardwell3254]

Sometimes drastic measures have to be taken. Especially when chasing a leak. Glad you found it pray you find your missing merchandise. Looks like Theo wants his own hoodie.

[@ToddHavel]

Impressed to see two different contractors to show up on the day you called! You have quality folks supporting you.

[@russpendergraft5057]

Man, that's never fun! But at least you're not battling a tornado , Y'ALL ARE SAFE! Thank God!!!! It's still a good time to watch how you handled the flood situation like a BOSS!!!! 👍 Thanks for letting us come along for the adventure! Appreciate ya! 🇺🇸

Hot Dammm it’s Corvette time!!!!!

[@NativeSteel-dl2wb]

Puddin you got 3 halfs of roofs of water running off there. Gutters mite help. Here's a little math I looked up. Roof area Sq ft x rain fall inches x 0.623 gallons = valume of water gallons coming off your roof in that area. I always thought it would be cool to put a roof over that hole area for more dry storage. Hope this help with knowing just how much water gets in that area. Good luck with it

[@dalesmith112]

Take the nozzle off the foam can and rinse it good with carb cleaner spray, blast with a little air... It'll be fine. I do it all the time, works great.

[@timothyargento8457]

Nice to see a video of a day in the life of PUDDIN.

Don't worry about that footprint that paint will disappear after a while of walking on it

[@jayknot6684]

No wonder the hoodies had sold out so quick. Hopefully you restock the zippered ones later.

[@garthp9874]

The outside "grade" needs to flow away from the building and you need over hangs on your building or you will never get rid of water in your building. When my Dad built the house that I grew up in in the 1950's he had 3' overhangs to keep the water away from the house. I noticed in a previous video that you had water running across in front of your new addition and towards the drainage ditch along side your building (if you were standing looking out the garage door, the water was coming up on the cement slab in front of the garage door and flowing from left to right.) You can't have water flowing towards your building, you need to have a ditch or something to divert the water away from your building. Oklahoma, as you know, is in an area where storms can bring an enormous amount of water in a short amount of time. If I were you I would get an engineer to look at your situation and come up with a plan. Good Luck and God Bless.

[@d.bvarnadore246]

From a home inspector-Someone forgot the foam strip under the bottom plate between the concrete and wood. They probably thought it's a garage we only do that on occupied structures or boss man went to the store and the help put that wall up.

[@billphilip9356]

Sill seal !

[@billphilip9356]

Caulk might work in those spots outside

[@larryd.214]

Well, dang it...the shop flooding is a bad thing, but glad y'all found the problem and can get it fixed. Thanks much for the second channel action Puddin!

[@maxyearwood1085]

I had a similar problem when I had a concrete floor poured in my new carport. I told my concrete guy to make a two inch drop to allow my siding to be lower than the floor, which he did not do. I had serious problems with water weeping into the building. I finally got some Big Stretch caulking and sealed the entire outside walls where the siding met the slab. I had to go over it in some places I missed, but so far it is working even during some hard rains with wind. I recommend you do the same when it gets dry enough to seal.

[@painedinks]

Not my new hoodie! Mia?! 😅 Glad you found the leak, that kinda stuff can drive you crazy!

[@dockranz]

I have been watching you for a long time. I love ur fabbing and energy. No apologies for the video. As I'm a disabled carpenter, I enjoyed watching you chase down that leak. Lol. ✌️ keep being you. As a fellow veteran, it was a pleasure serving with ya ✌️

Thanks for being real. You take whatever is thrown at you and don't lose it . When I was your age I would not have handled many of your situations well. Love your videos.

[@jamesragus1577]

Well, praying that it doesn’t pop up elsewhere! Time to get the flex seal on the outside where the metal meets concrete. Seal that big expansion joint in front of the roll up and all other cracks in that area, then fix it permanently in the spring. God’s blessings on you!😊

[@kirkoglesby6175]

On a positive note, man, that Stout is looking G U D!

[@engtech_1716]

You might try a FLIR camera. It will show you where the temperature is lower and, that should be where the water is. Amazon has the for around $500.00. If you have a friend that does home inspections, they may have one that you could use.

[@glenharper3136]

Good call to rip out the wall and truly find the leak. You definitely do not need the walls filling up with mold as a result of not finding the leaks. Hope things stay dry for you now!

[@ShadsGarage0221]

[@mattwheaton7621]

Should make a carport between the two shops,

[@russellfuchs7903]

PL400 self leveling took care of my cement to foundation for eight years running. Expands and contracts with the temperature change, not that matters down there. Definitely an excellent product if you don't want to tear into everything.

[@SA-76234]

Maybe you could seal the joints and add a carport over that area to get water away from building area. And you would have more covered parking area.

[@darrinrebagliati5365]

Yes Puddin I think you are crazy, but not for tearing into the wall. There are many other things that make me think that you are crazy. But that's why I watch your shenanigans. Keep it up!

[@thomasariss9601]

Does it have any holes on the roof where they drove the screw too far or nail into the sheet of metal for the roof or on the side of the building where it's leaking because when it comes to that sheet metal that you use on a building is very easy to tear or drill through

[@kevincordle9731]

I'm glad you show the oopsies in life as not everyone does it. It sucks when crap like that happens especially when you are adding on to an existing structure and can just be a flipping pain. I get it with the plans as well because life doesn't care what your plans are lol.

[@kajuncourier]

Jacob ,if you would put a hump of concrete where your big doors come to the bottom,that may stop water from coming in. Where that water is coming in at the step at that regular door,make a form and poor concrete the height of that step. one by one you will be elimination where water is coming in. That hump of concrete at the big doors may be aggravating to go over,but your shop will be drier. 2" - 3" high concrete hump could be a game changer for rainy weather. Also your property is higher past the concrete parking pad that goes to gravel. Shop is lower. Concrete hump will be cheaper than pouring a concrete slab over existing concrete parking pad to raise it.

[@davidking-nm4ez]

I hope you get the water issue fixed soon. Thank you for keeping us updated.

I haven't been able to watch the whole video yet, but a thermal camera (FLIR) is SUPER handy for this kind of thing, you can see the temp difference in the walls. works great for finding this kind of leak.

[@kennethsonier1766]

Good afternoon from Cape Cod ⛵ Got rain coming down here also, but it ain't coming in the building. Obviously you had to tear some of the OSB down to figure out where the water is coming in. I guess all said and done you got an answer and a solution 👍 hey it doesn't matter what you're up to it's always cool watching you ✌️🇺🇲

[@thoughtfulbobcat1872]

You can get a roller that has longer material, that should get all the nooks in the board. We used to use them on stucco walls to get the entire texture of the walls. But spraying and back rolling is an option but the other way is faster especially if you're doing it on your own.

[@Tony-pc3tb]

I bet the concrete outside has a slight tilt towards the building. If so you need them to install a trough the length of the building to take the water away.

[@matthewcox1122]

Now you can put water diviner on your resume 😅 this Puddin fella is a man of many talents 👌

[@CavanalK5]

Oklahoma rainfall has been weird this year. Out here in the southeast, we didn’t get any rain in October. Our COE lake (and water source for most of our county) Lake Wister apparently has gates that are broken on the dam and they can’t fully close it, so it was running the whole time during the drought. We went out and walk across places we’ve wakeboarded, ran trot lines, and usually 15-20’ deep. Though it’s not a deep lake or a clean lake, it’s still a little spooky. All the noodle holes were exposed, crappie trees, artificial structure, etc. Lowest it has apparently been since the lake was built in the 40s. Then we had a gullywasher like 6-7” in some days. Flash floods quick. And it was so dang dry that hardly anything soaked in at first, just washed mud around. Water is a spectacular things, from the tiniest droplet to the most powerful monsoon. Gives us life, brings us death. Glad you found the problem Pudd…that’s aggravating but good to find all at the same time. May wanna invest is some of those absorbent pads to keep around the shop. You see the smaller ones around grocery store coolers, but some big’ns around just in case. “For Mother Nature’s ’heavy days’….” 😂 But seriously, it may help keep some things dry if something happens again. Get Well Soon, Lil’ Shoppy Shop…❤

Man, those are tough to find I had a home that had an unfinished basement and it had sister cracks perfectly on both sides of the foundation and let a ton of water in. It took me an afternoon and a crack repair kit to resolve but it's so hard to find when finished out. My neighbors all had finished basements and it constantly happened around the neighborhood. All this to say it's part of a build in my opinion.

Hey Mr. Putin, I’m not much of an engineer, but if you want to keep water at that corner of the outside of the shop, there might want to put up an awning with some rain gutters. Keep water from getting there that way you don’t have to worry about water flowing inside the building.
