I TOTALLY understand Jay’s frustration with not having the tools/ materials or the help. We all need a ‘Ray’ in our life.

[@CraigTaylor]

The varying upside down and sideways segments are very on brand for Jay. Infectious fun.

[@albertorozco5981]

Great to see Ray coming over and helping out. Like the good ole days when you guys did projects together.

[@mbaker3735]

This is going to be one hell of a project. Nice seeing Ray alongside even if just for this build.

[@rossmatheson4303]

I really want to see Ray's kitchen. Went through all the original videos when I was off work unwell last year and caught up. I need closure.

[@happyk8737]

Love that some upside-down n some sideways 😂

[@Building_Jays_Way]

I went through video at least three times before I tried to post it. I tried to upload it to KZbin and I kept getting an error saying that something was wrong. So it said to optimize the videos so I click the button and it scanned through all the videos and optimized them. Not sure what that even means. Afterwards, I then uploaded the video and it went through, but some of the videos are sideways upside down, and stretched! Not sure what happened. Sorry!

[@Beandiptheredneck]

I'm a septic truck operator, I can tell you if it's been long enough for that root to grow over the lid, you're likely overdue for a pump, might wanna check on it 😉

[@troyqueen9503]

No shit 😮

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Yeah, when we bought the house, I had it pumped out. But I didn’t realize there’s two lids so the driver only pumped out the left side, which was just the liquids and not the right side with all the solids. Got me.

[@BigEMchannel]

answer of the day - get rid of stump and inspect the tank.. always better to be proactive.. + good time since good fall weather in NC now.

[@robertpayne6960]

I enjoyed the occasional jaunts to Austrailia in this video... truly an international project!

[@debby8428]

100%!!!!

[@coralboy7428]

I fully understand your comments about people helping that arent used to working with construction trades. I have the same with my wife and it can be frustrating but its not their fault. I think as construction people we expect others to know also!!! Make sure those lines are level otherwise your measurements will be way off. I have one of those line level attachments but they arent 100% correct as the plastic hangers flex a bit!!! Great video and will be interested to see the rest of the build 😁.

[@iamgeorgeaf.1403]

You need the DeWalt (DW089K) multi-line laser. Shoots a plumb line, a square plumb line and a level line. Would have been perfect for that layout. I'm sure there's better lasers out there, but I have this one, and it's very handy and only 300 bucks.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Wow. Nice.

[@_JamesBrown]

You're essentially building a boat/dock house on your deck. My man

[@alexanderg26]

man i'm just gonna keep saying this... from not knowing how to drywall (yea i've been watching since early days), to doing this!!!! big congratz.

[@michaelc.3812]

Cracking me up Jay! Steph is a Saint!!

[@user-jl2bw4vw9q]

Nice going taking down tree yourself (+ w/ bud). Such an EASY drill, tend to deem anyone who is reasonably fit and athletic as a wimp if they outsource! But now, do yourself a huge favor and dig-out that stump (rent or borrow excavator) and then pour cement base and build a proper room which will up big the value of the entire property! Promise this is the muuuuchhh better decision over what will be an inexpesnive/quickie-looking shed on a deck. (Ask Stephanie - *she* will agree, am sure - that is how much better a real room decsion is!!!)

[@JM-2000]

Glad to see the boyz working together again on this channel.

[@emilechap8573]

Yeeesss builder buddies are back. Nice to see ray back ,I missed him. Nice to see you guys helping each other out . Good luck with this project jay .😀💪👍👍

[@TheGreatRandom]

Love the idea overall and the glass roll up door. I would put in a mini split. It will take up less space and will heat and cool. ❤ Love

[@ozarkdaredevils]

This looks to be an amazing project , the hardest thing in life to do is get started . Always nice to see the lovely Stephanie !

[@c.a.g.1977]

Awesome project Jason! Looking forward to the next episodes. Very nice to see Ray on your channel, the Builder Buddies Reunite!

[@KyleDWray]

Hey Jay, I'd recommend looking into heating and cooling the 4 season room with a mini-split heat pump. It'll take care of both heating and cooling fairly inexpensively, and you can even get DIY units that don't require having an HVAC tech come around to charge the unit after install.

[@rochelle1117]

Didn't they put a mini-split in Eric's new office? Pretty sure they did, so they definitely know it's an option.

[@johannes.f.r.]

​@@rochelle1117I think that's why he said it that way, hoping for a sponsorship.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Cool, thanks

[@TheSpatulaCity]

[@lopezredone]

I love watching Jay and his family.

[@beetleclemens3727]

Couple friends of ours they built something like this too they didn't even know their house was being robbed until the next day when everything was just about gone because they were so comfortable in the room off the side so a suggestion is get security cams get motion detectors for the rest of the house while you're in your comfy little spot so that you can see other things that's happening around your property stay cool stay safe

[@Kristina_Australia]

Wow, this is going to be an amazing addition to your home and I'm excited to see this build. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you. Great to see Ray. Wonderful friends and family you have Jason. ❤

Yes, Dawn dish soap and use cold water only. Cause using hot water will open up your pores, letting the oils into your skin and then spreading it.

[@joenolan4148]

On stump removal - the rot products take forever. An alternative: 1) take the stump down as close to the ground as possible, 2) make a loose fire ring out of 8-10 8” block just laid out on the ground 3) dril 4-5 6” deep, 1/2-1” holes into the stump, 4) about an hour before you’re ready to execute, soak the main portion of the stump with diesel (fill the holes 2-3 times and let the diesel soak in. 5) repeat the soaking process 5 minutes before ready to start 6) pile a bag of charcoal briquettes on/close to the stump and make sure you have 8-10” clearance to the blocks (put a few pieces of cardboard down under the briquettes to help things light - keep all the briquettes piled on the stump as best you can). 7). Light it up. 8) stand by with a hose for at least a half hour to make sure everything will stay contained in the ring. Go do other shit in the yard, but check on the fire ring every 15-20 minutes for at least the first 90 minutes. After that, let the thing burn down. I’ve done half a dozen large (30-40” diameter stumps) like this. In 24-36 hours depending on type of wood and water content, the stumps will consume themselves to a point a few inches below ground. The charcoal builds up enough heat initially to dry the stumps and burn to coals themselves, and it continues until the fuel is gone.

[@user-jl2bw4vw9q]

Agree - that stump has GOT to GO! Plus once gone, suspect they'll go bigger for the new "media hang room" and put in a real cement base, and build from there (ie: not a fan of the shed on stilts and deck plan. Like Ray says, they built Ray's shop - they CAN do this. (and SHOULD - right Steph?)

[@jedifyll]

I'm with you brother. I'm also building a deck. Got my footings, piers and had to replace rotted band boards on the house. Ready for the ledger and beams next. I'm in NY so digging was left to a Home Depot tow auger I rented. I had to go down 36". With 12 holes, you might need to do the same. Good luck!

[@debby8428]

I'm from NY too. Our freeze line is much deeper than those to the South. I really have no idea but I would guess maybe 18 inches in NC?

[@lylewaters6161]

So happy to see Ray!

[@markymarkvancity]

This is an exciting project Jay! The garage door idea is really cool and would be amazing if you had one of those nice all glass garage doors and you could put a couple roller blinds behind it on the inside. I knew Ray was the poor sob you roped into helping you as soon as you said I got someone to help me today haha. Young Stephanie is also absolutely glowing!

[@TheGreatestJuJu]

About to get that button boy! 🎉

[@bobbywweaver]

If you have to do much more removing of plants I'd recommend leaving tall stumps rather than cutting them off super low to the ground. That way you have something to pull on or attach machinery to for leverage if/when you go to dig up the roots and remove them.

[@MrKcTofu20]

ROAD TO MILLI JAY!!!! LET'S GOOOO!

[@wolfbane5043]

You should definitely rent a stump grinder for that stump. Speaking from experience, stumps are MUCH harder to get rid of then throwing killer down. Ending up spending more trying to remove it other ways then if I just rented the damn grinder 😂

[@contractorkom7809]

Small mini split for heat and A/C should work good there.

[@MB12116]

Jason-I heard Arlo has some extra time on his hands…😂. Also, I once saw on a KZbin video where they built a shed for free for lawnmowers and used steel and everything, and it was over a large slope. I think they built a large template out of free scrap material😂 Also, don’t you have a 16 yo son?

[@user-jl2bw4vw9q]

starting when I was a TWEEN, helped my father w/ tree removals - would shimmy up to tie rope in good place then w/ siblings, pull the tree from 20-30 yards away while pops used chain saw. (pretty darn easy - we helped friends w/ their trees too .. and every time that other family got every family member involved - despite probably not needed.. just feels good when team effort!) so agree - R&S, get your teens involved! great learning opportunity!

Look at the big brain in Jay. Undulation is a word and it is (sort of) properly used here.

[@barmanvarn]

I don't want to assume, but if you don't sharpen your own chainsaw blades, go get a Stihl hand sharpener designed for your specific chain type. I got one a while back and it makes sharpening idiot proof and super fast. I use mine all the time now and love it.

I think your plan is going to be a lot of fun, and will be amazing to watch! I am really looking forward to watching you put this all together in your own way! To add to what you were talking about and needing a second hand. You are amazingly blessed to have a wife who is willing to help out, and give a helping hand. Weather you are a husband or wife helping your significant other help even if you do not know the process is still an amazing thing, and I give your wife so much respect for that. Watching you both work is really inspiring. Also glad to see you are all safe from the hurricane!

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Those are very nice words and awesome to hear. Sometimes you have to hear a good comment to keep your spirits up!

[@debby8428]

I agree- husband and wife working together is a great thing. My husband and I added ten feet to our flat roof house and then added a second story. We jack hammered all the concrete in the basement so we could put ceiling fans in and have a finished room. It took 30 years (both working full time and raising 4 kids). We just moved to downsize and unfortunately bought a house with extensive hidden termite damage. Here we go again. The difference this time is we are in our 60's now. I am retired but my husband still works a ten hour day 4 days a week- he is a car mechanic. We had to take a rotting sun room down so we made a 20x30 addition. I can say it wasn't fun putting up those roof trusses by ourselves. I adore Stephanie- not only is she beautiful and smart but like me she is not afraid to get her hands dirty. This project is going to be amazing!

If you put an AC in there, it's best to go all the way to a heat pump. I don't know about the prices in the US, but it should only be a little more, than the plain AC. It should also give you more control of the temperature and you can still use any type of furnace for the ambience.
