Always always always start with a drainage plan. When the grading and exterior is complete, then you go inside with the sealing and painting. You're chasing your tail if you don't.

[@davesch1512]

I agree ! If you are waterproofing inside your house your are to late and doing it wrong. You will have problems down the road. You need to stop water from entering your wall not trapping it in there.

[@jeffahn]

@@davesch1512 THIS!

[@mrb8467]

Yeah I'm surprised he didn't excavate around the exterior and waterproof the outside of the block and add in a weeper.

[@michaelpatish7248]

I've been watching Gate City Foundation Drainage on KZbin for a while. He recommends PVC pipe and not that black corrugated pipe that gets clogged over time.

[@craftedworkshop]

As I said in the video, I have plans to address the exterior but needed to get this interior work done first as I had a tight timeline to get the framing work done.

[@ΓΕΡΑΣΙΜΟΣΣΤΡΑΓΓΑΣ]

When I see videos with dream workshops i feel so happy like this is my dream workshops. Wish the best 👍

[@SpencleyDesignCo]

Heck yeah! I'm PUMPED for this!

[@wolfpackt99]

love the mix of creative people living in the region and helping each other out!

[@alexpope5327]

So glad to see you doing something with this building. As a native of Candler and driving by there every day for most of my life it does my heart good to see this.

[@cryzz0n]

Looking great! Glad to see you tackling the water leakage issue and being pro-active. Also glad to see you let someone else tackle the insulation removal. That was some serious nasty stuff! I know there's a lot more work to do, but its going to be an awesome workshop when its done! Also, regardless of what Dave P says, NO CARPETING! 😁

[@SchysCraftCo.]

This shop is huge. Looking very well. Looking real good so far. So happy to see a new video on your shop update. Can't wait to see more videos soon my friend. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep Making. God Bless.

[@enelgaragedemartincho]

That’s going to be a great shop.

[@garylewis9803]

Fantastic, Educational and Entertaining! Your enthusiasm comes over in bucket fulls. Can’t wait for the next video. Keep it up.

Thanks mama!

"I'll never go back to roller painting again"... shows using a paint roller 5 minutes later 🤣🤣

[@craftedworkshop]

Hah!

[@modelmanjohn]

To be fair, I don't think you can put drylock thru a sprayer. Leastwise when I used it decades ago. Maybe its improved since then.

[@craftedworkshop]

@@modelmanjohn yea you still have to roll it and brush it to work it in.

[@bg73]

@@modelmanjohn I know, I was just having a laugh 😎

[@davidc8077]

I get where Branden is coming from. The minute we find an easier or more efficient way to do something, we claim; "I'll never do xxxxx again"! But sooner or later we discover there's some reason why we have to go back on our claim! I thought it was funny too. Like the man said; "Never say never!" By the way, nice video, keep'em coming. I'm originally a Carolina boy and always love stuff about home!

Another great series I’m looking forward too thanks Johnny.

[@sapelesteve]

Terrific work Johnny! That is going to be one awesome building when you get done! 👍👍

Im so excited for this next project! Your builds are always so incredible!

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks man!

[@bawtony]

Wow, this thumbnail popped up in my suggestions and I thought, that looks like the shop behind the carwash and bakery. I clicked on it and it was! Good to know a local is doing well on YT.

Lots of work to do, but I'm excited to get things finished up on the tiny house fairly soon!

[@kennysousa5029]

Love these video series formats! It's so satisfying to watch a project/space/something that was neglected come to life and be repurposed. Awesome stuff, Jonny.

[@mikemcgown6362]

Looks like a huge project! But renovating an existing building is easier and more economical than building a new building. Looks to be an exciting and information packed series ahead. Thanks for sharing.

[@tantotdef]

So cool! Looking forward to seeing what kinds of workflows you create with that space =)

[@Birdmusic77]

Awesome shop excited for the process

[@matsler89]

I love that you put 24" of masking on the floor when painting the wall and then you peel up the masking and it was obvious where it was on the floor haha. I love these sprayers but they require SO MUCH prep compared to paint rollers to not get paint everywhere.

[@LoriHoustonArt]

wow - so very cool - amazing to see the process

[@feefifobum715]

this is gonna be wicked!

[@Piterdeveirs333]

I love that I just watched the first video last night and was wondering when the next one would come out

[@craftedworkshop]

Perfect timing!

[@MrJesse1479]

Nice. I'm just trying to get a 12×36' shed for myself lol

[@alexdeaver4823]

I would also recommend burying some PVC pipe instead of the flexible drain tile. The water exits was faster and can leak along the way and gets it clear of the build too.

[@Proviction]

randomly ran into this channel and heard berm peak and single track sampler. i might be staying around! good people

[@jeffreysmith5018]

Looks like a great project - looking forward to following your progress !

Love that Graco sprayer you have. Bought one 2 yrs ago and love it.

[@craftedworkshop]

Yea it works great!

[@RayNomadic]

Cool shop. I love what you did with it.

[@rustyrudder1612]

The video I have been waiting for

[@algalkin]

I'd also put a membrane on the outside wall once you pull the dirt out of it cause from the video its not clear if you are planning to waterproof outside of the wall. Right now all you did is trapped incoming moisture like the previous owner did.

[@kulviks]

I am so happy to hear you say that the water proofing paint wasn't going to be the only "water proofing" you were working on, because I was like, if you have loads of water coming from outside, that water proofing paint ain't gonna do shit :D some propper drainage outside will help immensely, if getting the water away from the building is a problem because of the layout of the ground around the shop, some kind of french drain should also be able to take care of a lot of the water :) but cant wait too see how the shop is gonna turn out :)

[@theeverseeingeye]

wow, great video 👏

[@chadjeror6046]

Hmm, I stop at that purple and green bakery for my morning scone most mornings!

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic work, Johnny! The place is already looking amazing! 😃 There are some products you can apply to the outside wall to waterproof it, if you ever need. But I think it's going to be perfectly fine with the modifications you mentioned. 😊 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@mikep8080]

When I had my house painted they used the same type of paint sprayer. After spraying they went right back over the paint with a paint roller. I asked why and they said its the only way to ensure total even coverage. Though all they did was go over the paint 1 roll and it went super fast.

Nowadays it's not easy to be independent, well, whoever wants it never stops. Sincerely, Alain from Belgium.

[@exoticaudio7338]

Just out of curiosity can you make a video on the business aspect. What did you need to accomplish in order to obtain your building. What are the steps scouting, real estate, insurance, loop holes, tax loop holes. What are some obstacles you ran into and what to look out for during this process that you wish you would have done. Hot much it cost, building materials, where and how you got all material. I only ask cause I’m a car Audio shop but I’m looking to get a similar shop as well.

[@craftedworkshop]

I kind of got lucky with this building and happened to see a "For Sale By Owner" sign in the window while I was getting cinnamon rolls at a bakery across the street. 😂 There weren't really any loop holes to speak of, I did buy the properly under a separate LLC, which my accountant recommended. I got fairly standard commercial insurance, although I had a little trouble finding someone to insure the property without a fire suppression system. The building cost $372k and any of the building materials I haven't salvaged from the property were just purchased from my local Lowe's. Hope that helps!

[@heavyq]

This is awesome! Bad-ass shop and you've got a coffee hut right next door? Hell yeah.

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks! And yup, there's a bakery across the street, gotta keep my will power strong to keep from eating there too much 😂

[@MikeGusFifteen]

I have sprayed Drylok with a drywall texture gun. Works phenomenally. Sometimes I go back and work it in with a brush but usually the air gun pushes the paint into the block just as well as a brush if not better.

[@craftedworkshop]

Good tip!

[@philswift2339]

i dont care if exterior should be done first or not, great content as it is

[@chrisdimase6401]

Just found your channel looking forward to seeing rhe shop build. 😀

[@craftedworkshop]

Nice, welcome!

[@iamspeare]

I think my favorite part is that you're bringing back a dropped ceiling. You used to curse it in your garage shop years ago and on the old podcast, what makes it the right answer here?

[@fathernojoy2706]

So why not do the water proofing from the outside instead of the inside?

[@Ogilla]

Did you listen to the video? Are you deaf? He adresses this question at 12:00. People, SMH.

[@fathernojoy2706]

Yep, heard him barely address it after I hit send. However, I stand by my comment about addressing the water from the outside. this should always be done first. Doing it from the inside just traps the water in the block and is more difficult to deal with later. Just saying.

[@zzztek]

if the outside drainage is addressed, would there be a need to add waterproofing inside and trap water in the walls?

[@brianriddle4036]

Glad to finally see that building get used! If ya wanna get rid of that sink in the kitchen let me know, I've been lookin' for one, or need some help. I live down the street. 😆

[@rjt135]

I also love the Lutron remotes. My house has a bunch of oddly placed switches that mean you have to cross a dark room to turn on the lights. Problem solved!

[@JonathanFisherS]

Question! So you're hanging lighting, are you planning to any sort of insulation on the metal roof? Obviously the fiber glass was a disaster (and not safe, as it needs to be covered). I was curious if there's a "one step" board foam you can leave exposed, or an affordable spray in? I imagine in the summer it would get pretty warm in there with the metal roof.

[@benglass2221]

If you’re getting that much water coming through your block that drylok isn’t going to do you any good. You should be addressing it from the outside. Dig a trench down to the footers. At the least put some bituthene on the walls where they will be below grade but your best bet is going to be a French drain and like you said the grading will make a huge difference. But keeping water out always starts from the outside first

[@craftedworkshop]

Watch the whole video! I’ll be addressing the outside in phase two.

[@ChakatNightspark]

actually, even though your sprayed the walls with the paint. You are kindof suppose to finish up with a roller after it to Smooth the paint out so there is no bumps and splatters and uneven sections.

[@craftedworkshop]

Yea on the concrete block it definitely wasn't a problem since the surface is so uneven already.

I’m planning to install the same American Green Lights in my shop. I was wondering what color temperature you went with? I usually prefer a warmer light, maybe 4000k…but perhaps a 5000k light is a more honest white for a workshop?? Love all the videos!! Thanks for the amazing content!
