Great Job Jay!!!!

[@ALLANWEIR-sm8qr]

Jay, I didn’t say this to you because I want something from you. I don’t need anything from anyone what I need is my wife back and she’s already gone to heaven so I just love you show I just wish you’d think just a little bit faster not faster but better before you make a move because I watch you do things twice as hard as you should have to, I’m gonna try and help you before you do things or I see you do something I’m gonna give you my two cents to see how you are if you use it or not by the way, did you close in the back of the new garage that you did because I don’t know how your weather goes and maybe it might come in that way and then your floors will be all wet and everything so I thought maybe you’d kind of closer in what a waterproofitem TX 111 is probably a very good you could paint that black try that little expensive but it will work and nobody’s gonna see it but you have a good day Jay God bless you and your family

[@Houseds]

Thank

[@Dristai]

That's the first time I hear Jay say "I'm so exited to get to paint". Never thought that would happen.

[@p.o.4339]

Good point. He better hope the Perkins don't watch the video. Wonder why the exterior wasn't painted to match the existing garage.

[@davidwood5877]

I bet he never thought he’d hear those words come out of his mouth either

[@davidshaw2846]

Jay, I'm impressed as hell that you did most of this on your own. That's a lot of hard work. Nice job, brother!

[@Building_Jays_Way]

I appreciate that!

[@justinhodgin5192]

Hey Jay, just met u at the volleyball games, it was awsome to meet u. Definitely love the channel. Keep up the great content I love watching.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Thanks brother!! Go KVC!!

[@50sKid]

Great job man. I think if it were me I would have put those panels on the inside of the wall cavities so that they ran full length. It definitely would mess with my OCD to have some of those gaps covered up and some open, but it's your shed and you get to make it how you want lol.

[@lunaliason]

I think you're getting really good at doing the voice over when showing the time lapse! Great videos!

[@paulgeorge150]

Don’t put yourself down in saying you don’t know what your, you a very accomplished builder Jay. Enjoy to watch

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Thanks.

[@stanhawkins1023]

I agree with those suggesting sealing the exterior walls. Blowing rain will do a number through those gaps.

[@muthagoose00]

looks like your rail supports need some angled supports as well. When you open your door they flex outward.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Yeah I think that is a good idea.

[@CarlGolden]

Love your channel. The only problem I see is the gaps on the side with a solid panel on the inside it gives bees wasps etc a nice home

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Yeah it will suck.

[@marymigliore3396]

Very nice job !! 🥰

[@scorpio6587]

Stephanie, we see you getting slimmer, and you look great! Great job! Inspiring!

[@DavisEJay]

You gonna have all kinds of critters in there. You should’ve sealed it up! Put some battens horizontal on there.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

The cat will love it!! lol.

[@DavisEJay]

@@Building_Jays_Way 👍🏼

[@colinbrooks6290]

Hmmm, Jason the back posts….. shortcut…. Cheat…. Pro tip….. great Pro Tip 🍺👍🎉💥

[@55pakmann]

Great job, I would have no gaps in the outside panels because of all the critter activity in between the inside panels it’s just an invitation for home building 😊

[@CharlesBundy-z9n]

Honestly, critters will make their way in unless he pours a floor. Gaps are more beneficial in this scenario. My great grandfather built a smokehouse with a poured floor, CMU around the perimeter, frame on 16” center with lap siding and tin nailed on the inside ceiling and walls. No varmints getting to his hams and beef!

[@daburg11]

How far a Florida boy has come. When I first started watching Perkins about 4/5 years ago I was like who is this smart ass transplant lol. Being a local to WNC it gives me confidence of what the beauty of this area and the people in it can do for someone. Welcome home bud. ❤

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Thanks!!!

[@scottkailey1]

In the shop I think a must have is dust collector of some sort.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Yes I agree . I am working on getting one!

[@jecarn129]

Awesome!

[@ricardodeangelo3851]

It's gonna look cool at night with the light shining through.

[@JJawsyW]

I would store all the flammables in the new addition. I'd make one bay of the main garage a cutting and sanding area and the other bay for fabrication. Put nail, screws, glues, caulk and other fasteners on the fabrication side. Store all the wood around and other materials on the back wall.

[@weekendhomeprojects]

Looks majestic! Like the Smokey Mountains on a cool foggy fall morning.

[@GrantRowell-u9q]

Love to watch when you screw up. Most of us hide it but you use the opportunity to let us learn from your willingness to share a screw up. and it is a hoot. Thanks

[@topguncg47]

Jay don’t let anyone tell we DY-I ers screw up all the time when building, you just have the balls to show when it happens. You rock……keep going you will be a superstar.

[@ninabooker2904]

Other shop makeovers I’ve seen put in storage units on locking casters. So they are portable and adaptable to changing needs. Plywood boxes / cabinet boxes with doors or drawers for storage. Or metal garage / tool storage units you can buy ready to use. Work table on casters, scrap wood organizers on casters. Mitre saw station, drill press station, band saw or lathe station, battery charging station, wall mount drill holders, vacuum system. Kyle from RR Builders designed a work trailer that was awesome. Michael Alm (KZbinr) is a woodworker & furniture builder, he built his custom shop. If everything has a home, it’s just as easy to put it down in its home rather than just leave out and have to move it twice. It’s a big job but take one task at a time and before long you’ll have it worked out. As much as you can get up off the floor the better. ❤Love the channel. Happy 2024 Jason & Stephanie🎉

[@mlehman1991]

You built you quite the shop there. My own 2 cents worth I think I would put the smart side panels in the back also to help make it a little more weather tight just in case you chose to work in it. I think you will enjoy the extra space for sure. Keep up the great content.

[@mazerguru3891]

Jay, my only suggestions are to paint the front outside face of the shed and garage door the same color as your old/existing garage. Also i would paint the inside of the shed white on the walls and shelves to make it brighter, this will really help you see and find things in the nighttime when the lights are on. Other than that, well done and i am looking forward to seeing your next project.

[@carolebillue357]

I think the contrast of colors w/slats give it a sleek, modern vibe! Love the black! More importantly....Stephanie may have picked those colors🤷🏼‍♀️ You know....she designs; he builds.😄

[@chrisruffino5168]

Looks great. One thing you might want to add is to close off the slats near the garage door button. Just seems someone can open the door in 2 seconds from outside with something to push the inside button. Thieves always and more work to projects.

[@chrisruffino5168]

Add not and... I need to proofread more.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

That's a great idea!

[@jean-marclamotte5082]

I am in Florida and I always wanted to move/retire in NC. Every time I watch one of these videos or the Perkins Brother's videos it encourages me to keep trying persuade my wife to find a piece of land up there and start building something. I am definitely not a amazing builder as you are but hopefully growing up in a farm when I was young gave me enough to do "some of that stuff". LOL So keep posting your very good videos because I am sure there plenty of people like me who just need that kind of motivation to start something. Thanks again.

[@oneaboveall1895]

Came here from Perkings Builder Bros . My guy Jason brings in the Humor on the show love this guy

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Thanks.

[@jmac8746]

Jay, for the new shop: Depending on what work you are doing. -Good placement of a table saw with out feed table -Miter saw station -Router station/table

[@robbunch2225]

First… move internal switch. Coat hanger can easily open button there through door edge. Good job.

[@OperationDarkside]

If you want to continue this channel with sponsorships, you should have a place to do your sponsor reads. The kitchen has definitely too much reverb. You have way more freedom in your shop to install lights and noise reduction panels. I don't know, what features your shop already has, but if you want to paint stuff in 50°F(10°C) and below weather a ventilation system would be good, since most paints I know should not be worked below 41°F(5°C) as per the manufacturer. If you want to be really fancy (and maybe get a sponsorship) you can go with a heat recovery ventilation. It's good to know about this stuff, since more new construction will require these i nthe future. It also cuts down on the heatpump bill. A dust collection system is also useful as it lets you work with sanding equipment with closed garage doors. A big shop vac works fine too. I've recently started hobby woodworking (mostly manual tools) I found it very useful to have a fixed place for every tool. Makes clean up much easier. I took a board of OSB, leaned it against the wall behind my workbench, put a few screws in strategic places and a hole in every tool that didn't already have one. You can go much fancier, but it does the trick for me. Hope, some of these are useful.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Thanks.

[@davegordon6943]

I told you you were getting 75,000 by new years. That's awesome Jay. 100 grand soon.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

We are getting there!

[@jackwagon9177]

Jay great job! I love your videos. The only suggestion (coming from experience) is putting in a separate door. If you ever have a power failure or broken spring, getting in will be a pain in the asset! Keep up the great videos.

[@stevebloch3184]

In that scenario you can run a stiff wire over the top of the door and snag the safety release on the inside. Takes a couple of tries, unless you just get lucky, but then you just pull the release and open the door.

[@natestaudt2644]

When you put your plywood on your shelves/work benches, let it overhang by like 2 inches. Makes clamping things down but easier.

[@kileymcconnell4492]

“I get to paint” is something I never thought I’d hear you say! Looks great brother. Maybe add a barn quilt?

[@One_Crazy_Dog_Mum]

Nice job Jay, hubby hung his led lights (hyper light similar) with a chain and pot/cup hook, easy to replace if they stop working at the same height, he’s also got steady rack bike racks for wall mounting the mtb’s, and nice work on the angle bracing which is perfect for storing conduit, straight edges, levels etc. 💪 Shell 🇦🇺

[@robertpayne6960]

Jay, some thick mil visqueen stapled to the interior framework (back and front) would help keep the rain out...akin to what you did with the smart siding by the shelves. Additionally, a piece of ground rated wood/rail road tie would make a good footer for the garage door since you did not want to pour one.

[@jimmydavis408]

You are one of the few folks I watch thru without fast forwarding. I love your videos. Keep em coming.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Sweet!!!

[@hpw59]

❤Looks really nice. To really finish it off put some soffit up

[@MarkLumerman]

Love the look. All it needs is for the exterior soffit to be painted black.

[@marigeobrien]

By now you probably know the battery back-up is for when there's a power outage, so you can still get your car out of your garage. Great job. I'm really impressed. I love the way you left gaps on the outer walls... and I was thinking, if you put up shelves you'd want to cover the interior walls. Which, of course, you did. Can't wait to see your new shop... coming soon. ;)

[@joshuahughes9860]

Looks great Jay. I would add some screen in the soffit to keep out birds and maybe a board at the rear to keep out critters.

[@markstipulkoski1389]

Thinking the same. Lot's of openings and cozy spots for critters to nest...birds, bats, squirrels, mice, spiders, wasps, bees. Still a nice little shed.

[@williamdorsey3203]

Another thing you can do with lighting near the garage door is to mount the lights on the side walls where the door would block the lighting when open. It actually works pretty nicely.

[@2BHeard]

Just found your channel. You have a lot of knowledge from your work experience. Continue to showcase it and less critical comments about yourself. Inspire and teach.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Thanks 2b!

[@jameshalleron7484]

Jay, When you start clearing out the main garage and once all the walls are exposed, think about making a French Cleat system. It will allow you to make your own holders for what you to hang up olus the option of being able to move it whenever you want. Great job on the shed.

[@stanhawkins1023]

Looks great. For your shop I recommend making use of French cleats. They are cheap to make, incredibly strong, and can be organized and reorganized a million ways.

[@MrDaragom]

Second this

[@DrTubeman]

The struggle is real but the shed is the deal...I almost snorted my cappo froth since when have you ever liked painting lol. Stephanie's smile as you explained the doorframe entrance was priceless. Blimming nice work Jay.

[@andylindgren4554]

Looks absolutely terrific! The gaps between the boards gives it a very modern look and clean look imo. I'd suggest putting a bit of netting on the inside or else you might find yourself being a bird or wasp breeder come spring 😂

[@radeko.9918]

That cavity behind shelves is perfect now for all kind hives

[@craiggallacher]

looking fantastic Jay keep it up in 2024

[@fspipe10]

Great work. I woulda left the garage door white to give it some contrast but that's just me. Thumbs up

[@BrendaChaffin-z4x]

Very nice, love the horizontal slat look. Add a ceiling fan and you’re all set.

[@leemartin366]

Right where you were standing before you got off of the shelf from the front you could easily put down a couple of pieces of wood across those Joist on the bottom to store long lengths of exterior material

[@SiccoJanBier]

looks great, pays off to be a builder. One thing on my wish list would now be: a door either on the inside or outside (garage to garage). Missing one on my own garage, just saying.

[@jmac8746]

Jay, another great video. You can’t beat yourself up too bad for making mistakes, we all do it’s our claim to fame as human beings. It is true that working by yourself can sometimes lead to more issues, but you have a great helper in Stephanie. My Wendy has done a lot of the same for me, as my official ground crew. Looks great, lot of work bud

[@debby8428]

My husband is 61 and I am 60. We just put a 26x30 addition on our home. The trusses were tough but overall we did a good job! On to the next project! BTW we did everything ourselves except for the foundation. He wanted to but I talked him out of it!

[@leedy5792]

love it! Pobably next time kindly consider the rain. It will be best to cover all side against all weather condition.

[@ellymellor9265]

I think it looks amazing and very practical. For me I'd want to paint under the eaves black too. Great job Jay. Elly UK

[@user-qk2fw7jz9c]

Wow ! That really look Great ! I just love watching your videos.

[@Kralphrn]

Great job! People appreciate that you work your way through things

[@cosmicvcosmic]

at the end of the series could you do a summary type of thing and go through the details of what you did? like a time lapse of the series with voice over

[@jasonstewart5810]

Hey I watch your videos all the time and you do a great job.

[@allenprice199]

Great job Jay! How about a few receptacles running near your bench/shelf for battery chargers, etc…. Also could you tell me the color of your stain/paint you used on the exterior? Keep bringing us great videos. Thanks

[@colinbrooks6290]

Boom Jason…. absolutely loved this project…. you’re on fire dude….. continue…..ps write a list of all the good aspects of the space you now have in the old garage, then build in what you want…..!

[@MyLilMule]

This project came out way better than I was expecting. I like the slat walls!

[@1bcordell]

Looks good Jay. I would say a nice miter saw station on that right wall in the original garage would be real handy. They are great for cutting long pieces and setting stop blocks for repeatable cuts.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

That's the plan!

[@АлександрИгонин-х9т]

Хорошая работа, Джей.

[@braxtond7889]

Nice job, Jason. It looks great 💯😎🫶🏻✌🏼

[@dnurgh99]

Mount the third light high on the outside wall shining toward your old garage and the light will shine with the garage door up or down

[@stephenlachance8448]

Hi Jay, really enjoy your videos. You're a funny guy! Great job on the additional storage. You said at the end of the video that you are going to start working on your shop and you wanted suggestions. Here are some I hope are useful. 1) Make all surfaces the same height as your tools so you can transition work pieces from one table to another. 2) I would put everything I could on wheels, with locking wheels on the corners. It makes it so much easier on your back to be able to make space for projects when you can just roll things out of the way. I've been an electrician for 40-years and if I lived nearby, you would have all the help you need on the electrical parts. It would be great to have a friend like you. Keep making great content, I for one will keep watching. Can't wait to see how your shop turns out!

[@ZipKickGo]

It's going to be interesting to see how the interior fairs with the air gaps. To me I'm thinking that air flow is going to help prolong the sidings lifespan but also keep the inside dry. But maybe not and it's the opposite? Who knows!

[@carolebillue357]

Jay….you did a FABULOUS job!!! I enjoyed watching every minute of your creation! Figured it was going to be a “lean-to” type of shed. But you really took it to the next level! Really turned out great! 👏🏼👍🏼

[@katherinecarroll3706]

Jay that looks great! Nice job.

[@scbaillie911]

I'm building a very similar lean-to off my garage to park my 20' trailer. Pretty cool how you turned it into a shop. The black looks great.

[@MrAngrywolf]

I think you should install a dust extraction system it might be a pain but will definitely help your health later on down the line, also run outlets in more places than what you think youll need!

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Yes I am working on the dust collection system as we speak!

[@ohasis8331]

Good job sport, that all turned out pretty well. It's a nice addition.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Thanks 👍

[@JJawsyW]

Absolutely love watching your channel and Perkins builder brothers. You crack me up. I think it would be awesome to work with you guys. The quality of work is awesome. I use to do garage doors, paint, and finishing work than became a Deputy Sheriff but still did some work on the side. I'm retired now.

[@mhatfield]

Loving how you paint your home projects as well as in your day job 😀 This is some impressive work showing a wide range of skills and attention to detail. The Perkins Bros are lucky to have you.

[@CybrJames]

WOW amazing work sir. Well done. Your getting pretty good at this KZbin thing. I hope you have a great 2024. Cant wait for the next video.

[@DDL2728]

Jay, this is a great accomplishment!! You really did a great job! It's beautiful!! I'm so impressed that you got the garage door installed by yourself!! Amazing!! This video was really fun, entertaining, interesting & informative!! 🌟👍🌟

[@ScottOBryant-s7e]

With a smaller shop, I recommend everything on wheels. Works for me.

[@lbh002]

Looks kind of like a corn crib or an area for curing tobacco. Industrial in a rural way. Very nice.

[@hybridmods4228]

Honestly a big "building jays way" sign in black iron or welded steel would look KILLER on the side of the shed. Would blend in well enough to not be an eyesore coming up to the house but still let everyone know its "your" shed... This whole "build" turned out awesome man. Are there any other big projects you plan on doing this year?

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Would like to redo my deck, new floors in the house and Steph still wants a tree house!!

[@hybridmods4228]

@@Building_Jays_Way a full deck rebuild would be insanely nice. Would you go back with the same wood materials or one of the newer products like on Erik’s deck with the pvc decking and railing system? Also any layout changes? Sounds like a good project series…

[@jeradmiller4575]

That actually turned out really nice.

[@robstephens]

You might want to eventually cover all of the siding gaps to keep mice and insects out. You could use black painted furring strips or Zip tape on the inside. Also, you could put plexiglass on some to let light in.

[@rickscott2568]

It is pretty cool to see how your skill level has progressed the last few years. Young people should follow your example and learn a skill that will benefit them for life.

[@garylcampbell9964]

You are good at what you do.

[@cheriemcdonald57]

Hi. I’ve always watched Perkins and think you’re the funniest one on their show. It wouldn’t be the same if you weren’t on there crackin’ on Eric. That’s how I found your channel when it use to be you and Ray. Been watching ever since. You asked for ideas or must haves about your shop and this project at the end of the video. A thought is to consider putting a gutter and downspout on your new shed side. It would only be one run and one downspout, but there will be a lot of water coming off over there now when it rains since half of the main roof is connected to it. If you have the gutter and downspout you have options. You can divert the water away from your build or you could run your downspout into a rain water barrel to catch plant water for Nana. I like the black contrast. Can’t wait to see phase two!!

[@thepagan5432]

Glad it went well. Catch you next time. 👍

[@milesharlan1]

I made it Jay! TGIF. Keep up the good work.

[@GaryWilkerson-o3b]

It's looking amazing. It seemed to come together great from start to finish.

[@oneredsailboat4947]

Love your channel, Jay, just a little afterthought. Maybe you should run some screen on the backside of that shelf wall keep things from building nests behind your shelves keep up the good work brother.

[@nicko198718]

I suggest putting a door from the big garage through to the new one. Even a skinny door would be quicker, then always having to open the new garage door.

[@JulienB_BTW]

"We're gonna put it in the hole, get it up and peg it." Sounds like my kind of night.

[@dawnc1419]

😯

[@thefreeak]

LOL - I was thinking I couldn't be the only amused by that statement.

[@SerranoPE]

Great job! Been following all along! Keep up the solid work man!

[@tbillington]

Turned out great Jay

[@MudHere1]

Looks really good all black like that.

[@aloispfiffkas3988]

Good job, simple, functional and looks good.

[@nigelmillion8192]

Look really good Jay. Great job.
