I Let My Employees Build Their Own Dream Office

[@zachariasis]

Honestly this was a nice vid. As the channel has grown so has the business. John somehow became the responsible one. But seeing behind the curtain with Sam and Jordan added some nice silliness and squirrelliness. Since they left, the feeling wasn’t the same. But getting to see more of the team and how they work and problem solve. It gave a similar feeling. Keep it up, love y’all videos.

Could have done without the goofy made up deadline.

[@thegreatbambuzil3536]

This is by far one of my favorite channels because of this stuff right here in this video. Excellent content and you can see the workplace dynamic, which looks fun and relaxed. Keep up the good work everyone

[@RangerDanger484]

Great video! So good to see shop dynamic again. It's been missing since Sam and Jordan left and I really missed it. A couple of tips: 1. Take the drop ceiling tiles out and spray them so you don't have to worry about missing the edges and then showing white when they inevitably shift. 2. Put an underlayment between the concrete slab and the floating laminate flooring. You can get a cheap 100 sqft. roll of 2mm for less than $20. It will cut down on creaking and noise and protect the laminate from getting soft and bulging if water seeps through the porous concrete. It's way cheaper than replacing the flooring plus all the therapy you'll need after going ape shit from listening to the floor creak all damn day.

[@JoeZook]

I did that exact same mistake with painting my drop ceiling black. Started with a roller/brush, immediately went and bought a sprayer. Still had to spray from different angles to get into all that texture. I am still finding parts of the ceiling that didn't get fully covered, but I LOVE the look of the black ceiling.

3:07 Did he tape buckets to his feet to use as stilts?😂 Mad genius.

Glad you helped them John. That office looks nice. Guys did a nice job.

OMG @3:06 just LOVE the bucket boots!!!! BRILLIANT IDEA!!!

[@Hear4TheChips]

Lovely to see the whole crew!

[@scottmorris4914]

I visited one of Eastman Chemical’s Data Center buildings. To design the building, they went to their employees. They put the employees into teams. One team to design the conference rooms, a team to design the NOC, a team for the Lobby, a team to design the office spaces, etc. And the employees reviewed what the teams had piut together. They took all the designs from the empoyees, put them in a stack, and then handed the stack to the architects, and said “wrap a building around this”.

[@1.blazeIT]

Eastman has some of the nicest spaces at these centers. However, whenever you see some of the spaces in the actual plant, they're pretty bare bones. I was attending a meeting in one of our research centers and realized that my bosses glass corner office was completely custom. They gave him a budget and make it his own so he could "personalize his workspace"

[@triciaramirez1886]

The guys are going to give ya a ride for your money! That was an awesome video!!!!

[@bobc35]

Lou is the man. I feel like I played tackle football with him back in the 80s.

[@theraVen27]

For a quick quick build that was cool. I want to see it with another week of work

[@Fine_art_aerial]

3:45 Did one like this but we took the tiles down and sprayed em black then painted the grid gold.. It looked so dope!!

[@Daphoid]

What a great start to introing the new team and making them welcome. Good flow too! For the veneer stuff I couldn't help but point over to Bourbon Moth Woodworking's recent totally OP cross cut video where he demos some of that stuff :)

[@Jason_Bacon]

Tyler has a good taste in studio monitors.

[@TillaStreams]

they were already there haha

[@Daphoid]

Yamaha HS5/8's are pretty popular. Right up there with the Rocket's, JBL LSR305/8's, etc. Can't miss their white woofers.

[@bazilwreckerloughead]

Love that fountain, I want something like that for my office!

[@meepcaster]

That stained plywood under the fountain is a beautiful touch.

[@crazzed4]

Awesome video. That's a big improvement, from what it looked like. They did an awesome job, doing the renovation, to the workspace. We use an addler to trim the nosing on the countertop so that it's flush with the top of the countertop. Very nice tool to have. There kinda like an electric planer.

[@jasonmartin7137]

Nice work, guys. I definitely would've ran bourbon thru the fountain for...... ya know...... job security. AKA bribing John. lmao.

[@dawncornwall6268]

That workspace looks fantastic! Looks as modern and functional as any design studio. Great job. You guys worked hard and are very talented.

[@audunbekkos3978]

Painting sound absorbing ceiling tiles will make them way less sound absorptive, at least in the mid to high frequencies. Other than that, nice job!

[@napsolo3453]

Very cool to see more people from the team.

[@johnnyb95678]

Great job and a fun video to watch. Really enjoy the behind the scenes looks and the shop dynamics.

[@jhtrice]

[@territ1231]

Awesome video of some real talent!! Fun guys!!!

[@cjones1262]

I miss your old videos. Where you show us what you are doing.but I do love what your doing. Been watching your vids for about 4 years now.

[@Dubyea]

Haha I like how you got your employees to do the work to save you money and have a nicer office and they have nice work wpace

[@SargeWolf010]

So Tyler is a Pokémon Enthusiasts I see 😅🤣 And Chris is Pizza Chef I see 😅🤣

[@AlphaMachina]

Really cool vid. Can't wait to see how they personalize the space.

[@KnightsWithoutATable]

Sports drink would be a cool idea for working in the summer for the fountain so people could stay hydrated more and would remind John of his football days. Maybe do something caffeinated like, wait, coffee. Cold coffee would be sick to have in that thing. One thing you would want to do is make sure you cleaned and sterilized it once a week, though, if you are running anything sugary through it, but if you are running coffee or tea through it, just a soap and water wash once a week should be good enough to keep it clean.

[@MCsCreations]

Brilliant! The guys did a fantastic job! 😃 Stay safe there with your families! 🖖😊

[@miketech2]

i appreciate the pivot to treating employees great

[@markroper9269]

Turned out nice! Good job boys!

[@-joe-davidson]

What a good deal for John.. Getting his employees to remodel the office while he goes out of town.

[@aubreytingler4524]

On the off chance you read this... "The hand planing took like 2 hours" If you were using the same setting as John you were taking far too thin a shaving at the start. Next time grab a heavy set #5 jack plane to take off the bulk of it then switch to a #4 to smooth it flush. Looks fantastic though. Definitely something to be proud of

[@John_Malecki]

Oh i read it Aubrey.... haha and thank you

[@hampusgedda2272]

Would love to see you take a shot on building a wooden bathtub without epoxy, would be nice to use kind of basic tools! great channel! cheers from sweden

[@mattblair613]

That turned out great!

[@Corneelius]

I was worried that the black would make this sad and make the room look smaller with all the black but you ended up bringing it back and making it look quite nice!

Awesome build! Love it! Need more bourbon! 🤣🤣

[@quadsquadracingable]

Looks alot better!! I would have had the flooring go the long way as to not contrast the vertical strips on the wall. But luckily it's not my office and my ocd doesn't matter

New to this channel. But John, you're such a smart ass. No wonder tradesmen are hard to come by these days. Especially when they have bosses like you berating them all the time.

[@therealsmilebit]

Nice. on a walls put up Epoxy Logo Plaques. 2 foot Squares. And everyone can make their own coat of arms and put them on the walls. make the CoA in different types of wood. Then epoxy them. To have them match the logo sizes 2ft by 2ft square

[@GibClark]

6:07 …. Noooooo, always run flooring the length of the room, the eye follows the long lines and it makes the room look bigger! But otherwise, it’s looking awesome! 😂

Do these guys watch the videos on the channel? I was wondering why they used veneer with a sticky back. That just seems way more difficult to put on than a non stick back and contact cement

I loved this video just because of the office staff, I feel they are so much better on the cam than Lou and the other person. Chris should be out in the workshop more. Jordan and Sam are missed but feel these 2 guys can easily replace them.

I like this vid a lot but the one thing I'm unclear on is what would happen if they didn't make the deadline? Are they fired, do they have to put everything back the way it was, or maybe just set up their computers on the floor and put down some towels or something?

[@dextonfeldark]

As much as I like the art, I'm pretty sure that covering up the electrical panel is a fire hazard and violates electrical and fire codes. Idk if it is in your state, but it's something worth looking into. I don't want John to eat a fine that was preventable.

Painting the ceiling tiles may cover the pin sized holes in the tiles and wreck sound damping en

Did anyone check codes before covering(hiding) the panel? At the very least there is the 'keep it clear 3ft in front' and possible fire codes for your area that prohibit this. 🤷‍♂️
