How I Got Started Part 3 - The Barndominium Show E116

[@tdmallet]

Man, what a great story. The American dream. Humble in your success. All the best.

[@TexasBarndominiums]

Thank you.

[@SLAVIKTELY]

Watched all 3 parts. Thanks for sharing your story with me. I was surprised to hear you came up with the Dave Ramsey debt snowball pay off plan by yourself; it shows me how your mind works. I like your work ethic(contractor SHOULD clean up after him/her self after THEY complete THEIR JOB-THEY are the ones who made that mess)...BTW smack your camera guy for yawning in part 2 because all 3 videos were not boring, they were motivators for me. Those that want to make it in this world will find these videos educational. PS messy work area, not being on time and lazy people in general are my pet peeves. You are a good guy who speaks from his heart. Keep posting videos and your channel will grow; speaking from experience. Slavik.

[@TexasBarndominiums]

Thank you. And I will smack Daniel for sure. “SMACK” Daniel: “What the hell was that for” Erik: “Slavik told me to do it. Sorry”. 😆

[@TexasBarndominiums]

I just looked at your Channel Slavik, very impressive knives. You are an artist!

[@TexasBarndominiums]

Slavik, PM sent on Instagram.

[@SLAVIKTELY]

@@TexasBarndominiums Thanks for the compliment and tell Daniel I do press ctrl S now a lot because I did loose my work before because it was doing auto save until my laptop froze. Been there done that and I did not have a boss to post a video for me to make up for the lost one. I had to sit there and re edit my video. It's part of the game.

[@duncanvincent9106]

I’ve watched all these “how I got started “ videos. Very good and a humble perspective. Life is just a vapor.... so glad you were able to rest on the weekend too.

[@ericperez2010]

Really enjoyed this mini series and seeing how it all started and your mentality on things

[@TexasBarndominiums]

Thank you

[@bigunone]

You do have an addiction; you are a workaholic! I was an electrical contractor till 2006 when the bottom fell out locally. One of the last jobs I bid on was a spec home and the builder told me he wanted me back in before he painted that way he could fix the drywall from where I had to move boxes! I was puzzled the only time I have had to move a box is if something changed between the time I put it up and trim time. I still look at box covers to make sure all the screws are straight, I was at my nieces new house and the was a three gang box the screws were ever which way after a while I had to get up and straighten the cover and screws up my nice turned to her husband and said I told you he would do that!

[@Garth2011]

Thank you for being this way. The box cover screws should be lined up the same either horizontal or vertical, I prefer vertical. What's more, getting the switches and receptacles flush with the covers is important too. I've seen them too deep and too shallow and they look wrong every time. Also, it's been a habit for some contractors to use their claw hammer as a drill or saw to cut out remodel boxes etc. They respond when asked why they do that is "the drywall/painter guy will follow" up. I always say, on a remodel, why would you create work for a painter when you can do the job without damaging the wall ? Most of them say it's too time consuming and usually there is a patch and painter person coming in on the job. That's like driving cross country and filling your gas tanks only 3/4 full at each gas stop.

[@t-gmailaccount6796]

Subs typically aren't in the industry for pride in their work in my brief experience at 23. my bossed summed it up by saying "subs always try to do the maximum amount of minimum work." How fast can they get in and out of a jobsite so they're onto the next and they make more money "completing" all these different jobs. Burn bridges everywhere you go in a region so big you'll rarely see the same people twice. Especially the whole not wanting to clean up after themselves. We're a home remodeling company in Texas and have to come in before to prep for them and afterwards to clean up after them. I'm working on starting my own subcontracting business with some associates beginning with industrial strength Poly flooring for garages, shops, patios and general commercial and residential applications. If you work hard, take pride in what you do and treat your clients right, eventually it will be recognized and you'll take that next step somewhere. At least that's the goal.

[@TexasBarndominiums]

I agree. Good luck!

[@smiley3012]

I was part of a team in Hawaii. A hard market to get into. Honest work clean and backing up your word will take you to the next level. Sure there are some that screw you and others even generals. But you will establish a name and a reputation. Good honest work will always be recognized and remembered.

[@TexasBarndominiums]

I agree. Thank you.

[@dennisbarney869]

Yes most people have gone to a git it done attitude instead of git it done RIGHT. I am called in after some one else did their job and can i tell you some stories, kinda sad. PRIDE IN WORKMAN SHIP>

[@pacluv]

Very good story. I watched all 3 episodes and enjoyed your story. You seem like a very decent and honest man, and I can see why you have become a successful person. To bad most contractors aren’t like you. Unfortunately for most people who have to hire a sub par contractor we find out the hard way, that not everyone is honest and caring about the customer. But just like you said about the word spreading because you did such a great job, the word spreads also about the contractors to stay away from. I listen to Dave Ramsey and believe in ideas too, and it’s great that you run your business that way. You’ll probably sleep 😴 better at night not owing anyone money. And that makes you a better contractor when you don’t have to do it for the money 💵.

[@titotito-it7bn]

Wise to hunker down to weekends off. Your employees will love you, and in turn you motivate your people/family.

[@elsac5247]

I am such a fan of yours. Texas Barndominium is the ideal company to work with. Nothing is more wonderful than watching people who have passion for their business and an incredible work ethic. If I can, I will definitely use your company!

[@skeon67]

A very honest guy, that’s where you start.

[@tonyreyes1798]

Another humble tip: To minimize drywall cracks, I highly suggest to put in your "Scope of Work" for all windows and doors to be "picture framed" which means NO drywall joints at the corners of all windows and door and any passage way. This type of installation will help minimize drywall cracking which a majority of times occurs at window and door corners. If the drywall contractor does not like it because it uses more sheets of drywall, then they bid accordingly or they go away.

[@Garth2011]

Sad that a drywall guy would bother to do a job that way in the first place. You either know your job or you don't...If the job is good enough to do, it good enough to do it right.

[@jimmiecolson4490]

Sir I really appreciate hearing your story. I myself was a self employed concrete finisher in murray Kentucky. I done concrete full time for 13 years here and loved every minute of it. I had a stroke in March of 2018 that ended my career. Watching you seeing someone insist on quality of work reminds me of how I was and I miss it. Keep up the good work!

[@justinmejia1811]

Great videos Eric!!! Thanks for telling us your personal story and being real!!

[@johnforeman9926]

My whole life I've been exactly like you...your work ethic is commendable. I wish I had a mentor like you when I was doing the building thing. I was just learning and I fell in love with building homes and "flipping" properties. Now, I've just bought myself some small acreage and putting up fence, water lines, a pole barn home, barns and sheds. I will probably sub-out some things like the slab for the home and barn, but everything else, I'll try and do it myself. Thank you for you online mentor-ship...you inspire me to work even harder. By the way, I'm 73 years old and still young at heart...don't know if I can walk plates anymore though!

[@TexasBarndominiums]

Awesome! My dad is almost 70 and still ranching!

[@davidhorsley1149]

I applaud you, great story. Shows that success and the American dream are still alive. It's obvious that your character and humility have made you the success that you are. Reflects well on your parents, what they instilled in you and will carry you a long way in the future. I have really enjoyed seeing the work that you do and hope you keep making these videos.

[@TexasBarndominiums]

Thank you

[@ladystef5055]

Great videos. Love Dave Ramsey. Glad you got out of debt for the most part before 2008. Scary times.

[@TexasBarndominiums]

Yes they were. Thanks.

[@builderbob4167]

It's been said: "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life." Erik, it looks like you've been wearing that quote out!! Awesome videos laying out your life like that! I hope others can truly see the immense value in what they have just watched in these three videos!! I do! Thanks for sharing your story!! God bless!!

[@TexasBarndominiums]

Thank you

[@rickyt739]

Watched all three videos. I always enjoy watching you work towards perfection. Multiple Thumbs up. Congratulations!!!

[@territ1231]

Nothing wrong with being a perfectionist!!!I I love your videos. What impresses me is you aren't afraid to work right along with your crew or out doing it yourself.

[@roderickmarruffo7600]

Watched all 3 parts, truly inspiring. Now I get to wait for the book "How to achieve greatness, with diligence & hard work"...

[@shudson9435]

You described my experience in construction management as well. Enjoying your videos. Thanks.

[@TexasBarndominiums]

Thank you

[@bennywiebe8157]

Hey Eric, I really enjoyed listening to your story. I am a contractor in the west Texas area and I have built metal building for 17 years. This is my 2nd year on my own and I am proud to say I am building my first Barndominium and going through the same mistakes you did. I wish you guys the best and would love to meet you in person one day. You have inspired me a lot.

[@TexasBarndominiums]

Thank you. Let me know and you can come and hang out with us for a day.

[@bryanmontgomery4050]

You hit the nail right on the head!!! Surround yourself with successful people and you will also become successful. Always mentor and train your employees for the long haul. Employees are your best asset. I have learned that a long time ago in the SPF industry.

[@tracyjohnson5731]

Love your story Eric. Thank you for sharing.

[@mariah3013]

My husband and I enjoy your videos. Praise God for the knowledge he had given you! He is also in the construction industry. Thanking God all around

[@ericpearle4971]

thanks for sharing the back story and the good old fashion work ethic!

[@TexasBarndominiums]

Thank you

[@sts1541]

Great, great story, all 3 episodes, chasing american dream and making it work at it's best, you talk about life lessons, hard work and determination. Me myself, an emigrant, although retired now and I never listened to Dave Ramsey, best advise you can give is to be debt free, period. I know it is not easy but in time, it is doable and best feeling that comes with it, "don't live beyond your means" , "don't buy if you can't afford" - these everyone needs to live by, golden rules of being debt free. As for construction or any "other" business, always, always do your best, do job right (straight angles, leveled 100% of the time, no corner cutting, paying attention to details, etc.), it pays off in a long run, customers appreciate it and business grows, way too many contractors out there doing half ass jobs and wonder why they go bankrupt. Keep up great work and if I lived in Texas and needed contractor, you'd be definitely the man I'd hire.

[@Ding_Bat]

I watched all three. Back to back. Not a single yawn! Like I said previously, 20 years ago I was at that fork in the road as a young man with no responsibilities having to decide on doing my own thing vs stepping into the corporate world of working for a boss. I chose the latter, and today I am at that same fork in the road again. Only, this time I have responsibilities, which is just an excuse, I know. But man, if I could have just had me from 20 years ago listen to you today! Loved it. Love your work!

[@TexasBarndominiums]

Thank you

[@joann5157]

I loved this video! You have the same work ethic as Mike Rowe. You should both join forces to show young people that hard work pays off. I love your attitude about doing things RIGHT, while still having fun. And teaching your employees skills. Yesss!!

Wow, great story erik, sorta similar to mine. I have been watching a lot of your shooting videos, I even bought a few of your tuners and adaptors, great products they work. I looked you up to see how you were able to do everything youve done, Im glad you made it, a lot of people lose hope in ever getting out of debt or advancing in life.. your living proof and an inspiration to many, all I can say is congratulations on your accomplishments! Now, enjoy life, work hard and have fun! Great words to live by.. 👍🏼

[@PaulIwanaga]

Thanks for sharing your story. I am built very similar when it comes to doing things at a high standard (I'm a perfectionist), high work ethic (I will not let others outwork me, but also believe in working smarter and not harder too), never had addictive behaviors (don't drink, smoke, or do drugs), and never have debt. I believe in living below my means so I can help others and have the ability to enjoy life now (i.e. love traveling and making memories on trips with family and friends).

[@majesticmojo3823]

I always teach everything i know to the younger guys. My brother never liked that. I told him that there is nothing to fear as long as we do good quality work we will always be busy.

[@tonyreyes1798]

My wife hated the fact I was teaching my home inspection and expert witness class construction trade at the local college. She asked me "why the hell I was teaching all the "secrets" to my job as a construction expert witness???" Despite my wife's misgivings, I decided to spill the beans so 10 years later teaching at the college.......I am ONLY as good as the people around me. There is no better feeling than teaching someone a trade and watching them support their families. It is priceless.

[@TexasBarndominiums]

I believe this as well. Thank you.

Watched all three! Very informative thanks. As a former decorative concrete contractor, doing everything from countertops to stained, stamped, and lithocrete. I always enjoy your videos.

Liked and subd. Followed over from the Essential Craftsman channel. Great message. Building our own house and have to deal with subcontractors. Some are great and some are pure charlatans. We were quoted outrageously for the foundations. We sub contracted and found great guys and saved 50% on our first quote. Very stressful though trying to get it right. Looking forward to seeing more of your vids.

[@DavidGonzalez-md9je]

That was great. You definitely have my respect. It's certainly is a struggle to do what you do. I've been there and done that. I started when I was 15 and now 30 years later I've seen a lot of bad subs, sadly more the good ones. I strive to do the best job I can, viewing every job as if it was my own house. It costs a lot of money to build or remodel a home. So I feel that I should give the customer the best for their money. I'm planning on moving back ( HOME) to the area soon, from out of state. Hopefully I can do a tour of your Barndos. Heck maybe if there's even a opportunity available i could work with Texas Barndominiums. But aside from that I love watching your videos. Oh and on a side not to what Eric said about not having any addictions. He showed in one of his videos that he has to have the muffins from I believe it was Buccees. Lol

[@TexasBarndominiums]

I gave those up now. 😢 Lol

[@michaelsanford8020]

Watched all three all in a row. Wide awake, I found your story very interesting and riveting at times. In earlier videos I told my wife you was a farmer. I was right. Love your work ethic and desire to do quality work and to have fun doing it. Only way to be. I wish you much success in your life, success being whatever you see as success. I agree with you, if you are doing it just for the money, you are already doing it for the wrong reason, do it cause you love it...the money will come in due course. I will be watching more of your videos until I am caught up with you. I really enjoy what I get to see with what you are doing. Gives my wife and I a lot of ideas for things later on. I'm mid fifties and disabled, live in Georgia, and thank you for doing youtube so I can see great ideas AND how to do them.

[@michaelsanford8020]

@@TexasBarndominiums you are welcome and I will and do.

[@tonyreyes1798]

Here is a humble tip: Use "Scopes of Work." If you want to hold your contractors accountable, use "Scopes of Work" as an attachment to every single contract you sign. Have each contractor sign and initial EACH page for your "Scopes of Work." I use to be on staff with Shea Homes and Lewis Homes for almost 20 years so I am very familiar with development and construction. Your "Scopes of Work" dictate the way YOU want your job done including picking up the trash each contractor generates. The electricians will use "torpedo levels" on each switch plate and cover plate if you want it done right. You put all of this in your Scopes of Work. Your Superintendents will LOVE you when they have leverage (Scopes of Work) over the contractors instead of back charging people. I work as an expert witness in construction and teach this stuff at the local college. I love your videos !!!

Thank you Tony. I will present this to my team next week and start the process of adding it to our contracts.

[@tonyreyes1798]

Another humble tip: Think about creating (if not done already) a "Homeowner's Manual" for your clients. The homeowner's manual provides maintenance tips, color schemes for paint, emergency numbers to contact contractors. It also spells out your warranty. If you have already thought of these ideas, then great and I hope this helps. You are on the right track and I have only seen a dozen videos or so of yours. Actually, I have never posted on KZbin but I thought I could help you out in my own humble way. I can send you a sample foundation "Scope of Work" for you to use as a template to improve upon or any trade you might need to build a residential structure. Free. Yeah. Just post an email address and I'll send you a copy. The Garcia Cafe in Dilley has great menudo when I ate there 20 years ago.

So funny how things work out when you're determined to do it right and try it yourself... I'm starting to build my own pole barn so I'm constantly looking for tips and gotcha's of that process so I learn from people who have done it and what they say to watch out for. I stumbled across this video set and after listening to you describe your process and journey, it was like you are describing me, lol. Every challenge I'm faced with I'm like "I can do that" but I'm in that "I gotta have this and that" as soon as I pay something off, good advice on stopping that circle.

I was shocked they were professionals,

[@cullenmiller8170]

I just watched all three and feel like we lived a parallel life in many ways. The last place I had built the contractors hated my guts, because I called them on their bullshit and made them do it right. It’s really sad to see people to do such a poor job and expect to get paid for. When I had my business my motto was do what you said when and how you said it and be on time. I did temperature and time sensitive freight to Alaska for years and had a 100% on time record. It didn’t come easy, but I did what I promised. People don’t want excuses. Yes it snows a lo or it’s forty below, but that’s just part of the business.

When you consider the cost of training employees who go on to work elsewhere, think of the cost of not training employees who stay with you. It is better to train and loose than to never have trained at all. You are an inspiration to many KZbin watchers. Thanks

Thank you.

Man I’d love to work for you!! We seem to think alike, work alike, reload somewhat alike (I don’t have quite all the fancy equipment you do lol but use your techniques), and I’d love to say we shoot alike, but that’s a stretch. I watched all three of this series and feel intrigued. I follow your shooting channel, and somehow it brought me here. Keep up the great content on both channels.
