This is so much better than hiring someone to do everything. It's so much better when you can look back and see what you've done. Keep up the good work and can't wait for the next episode.

[@jayk.2276]

This is what us poor people say lol. I’ve helped my old man with my two brothers build enough barns on our property that I sure wish we had the cash to pay someone hahaha.

[@LonestarHawaiian]

Fully agree! ... but also might agree with @jayk.2276 here in a few weeks 😅

[@Allan_2002]

Shops looking great. No better feeling than knowing that you built it with your own hands!

[@jordanreyes8880]

I’m a builder - they frame in two days cause they have 4-8 people at a time knocking the job out! You’re killing it!

[@carcissistmoto6616]

Enjoying the series! I’m both a car/truck guy and a DIY/remodel guy and it’s fun to watch the progress.

[@LonestarHawaiian]

Thanks for watching!

[@youme5547]

THATS HOW YOU DO IT, BEAST MODE, GREAT JOB BROTHER, KEEP GOING FORWARD THE REWARD WILL BE WORTH IT ALL, GOD BLESS 👍💪🙏✝️🌅🏝️👣🇺🇸♥️

[@chrisfreeman7611]

Solid build. That shop will be there for a long time!

[@LonestarHawaiian]

Thanks for watching 🤙🏽

[@ScottyLo]

Nice work. Especially cutting,climbing and doing most of it alone. Pride isn’t what you buy. It’s what you build. Can’t wait to see the next video

[@LonestarHawaiian]

Thanks for watching. I'm having a blast building this thing.

[@taylorslager]

Can’t get enough of this build. Looks amazing

[@LonestarHawaiian]

Mahalo! 🤙🏽

[@manstuff612]

Wow it's coming out beautiful, nothing gets better than doing it yourself

[@ChadOuwenga]

I’ve been waiting for another video! My daughter has been saying she wants to, “watch the man with the hat!”

[@CliffJennings]

I’ll still sit here and watch no matter how long it takes! Keep going dude!

[@LonestarHawaiian]

Appreciate the support! 🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@leefearon6226]

I’m loving watching you do it yourself I actually prefer it.

[@1944chevytruck]

LOOKS GREAT!

[@Natedoc808]

Shops looking great. Guys frame them really fast by framing all the walls on the ground in assembly line fashion and standing them up.

[@brianlathrop3435]

So cool! Loved the “We built this” scene!

[@MrTimdtoolman1]

As a subscriber from since you and your young family lived in Hawaii, my hat is off to you young man, this is a huge undertaking and you are doing a great job. The experience you are getting will be very fulfilling and you will be able to carry it with you the for rest of your life. As a contractor myself for the past almost 20 years, there is few things better than looking back at the end of a long day and admiring what you have built with your own two hands. Don't worry about the people that are whining about how long it's taking, they have likely never built anything in their life, especially nothing on the scale of what you are building. Keep doing what you are doing and before you know it you will be able to use your shop as I'm sure you have dreamed of many times.

[@jaybird4095]

Nice work. Tip, temporary nail/screw a long board horizontally at a decent height to help support the studs as you place them. Works a bit like a 3rd hand. Good job.

[@koolkar55]

Before you know it you'll be in there building cars & doin' stuff in what is turning out to be a fantastic back yard shop. Great work. Billy J.... Queensland. Australia.

[@coriebrehmer]

I'm from Queensland too good to see other Aus especially Queensland watchers

[@Onlooker71]

I love the fact you’re doing this yourself and you have a great attitude and energy. I’ll keep watching as long as it takes.

[@jjrock5]

I’m a home diyer and love building. I’m enjoying these videos more than the car vids!

[@jasonjtg21]

Looks great and the dream is real!

[@LonestarHawaiian]

🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@Deep_House_Dreamers]

Great work and I am watching all the way from South Africa, you inspire me to get into this every time I watch an episode

[@LonestarHawaiian]

🤙🏽🤙🏽 Thanks for watching!

[@Thomas_Tolson]

Brother, I'm a die hard Ford fan... But I've been watching this build series from the beginning. I love the content and the desire to learn to build things yourself. In a world where people just pay others to do things, the art of being self sufficient is dying. Kudos and Aloha from a fellow Texan.

[@TheNgtmare]

When you get to interior drywalling, I would recommend looking into making lower 8 ft. or so OSB or plywood. Makes those high impact areas more durable, easier to mount stuff to the walls, and easier access to inner walls to fix or run new wiring in the future.

[@LonestarHawaiian]

Freaking love this idea 👆🏽💯

[@raidotisler3121]

Your videos are cool, no doubt, no argue. But your energy gives that channel the Life!

[@LonestarHawaiian]

Mahalo!

[@markmanning5683]

Rack is Genius and turns into a Bench in the Garage. Put yourself down for a Raise!

[@CalabreseIT]

Looking great. I am admire that you are doing almost all of the work on this and learning so much at the sametime. I am jealous of the size of garage and you building.

[@gregb1237]

Algorithm engagement comment: Love seeing you learn your way through the process of doing things. - Don't worry about how long things are taking. I enjoy the videos when they come out.

[@LonestarHawaiian]

Algorithm engagement response 😎: Thanks for watching! (and commenting)

[@BorkBork84]

Hey man just a little hack for you, all I use to haul 16' lumber is a $100 kayak rack I bought on Amazon. Connects via your hitch and basically extends your bed. Works flawlessly. Great content! Can't wait to see the finished shop!

[@thomasturnquist118]

Good idea but he doesn’t have a hitch on his 07 Silverado. But I might look into this for myself instead of borrowing a trailer

[@nwngunner]

@@thomasturnquist118 if you have a northern tool, look for a truck bed extender. Just watch how much weight you put on them. Doesnt take long that far out there to get really really heavy

[@BorkBork84]

@@thomasturnquist118 touche'.. I didn't notice that lol

[@Mebeknob]

One thing I really appreciate in my home are skylights. Even have them in my closets! Some days I don’t even turn my lights on without realizing it. If you find a good deal on some skylights…. I recommend throwing some in your shop.

[@locke3141]

There are two types of skylights in the world: those that leak, and those that don’t leak, yet. Skylights are problems and will eventually leak. I recommend staying clear, even though the look and light is nice.

[@charlier1977]

Dude you're doing a great job. 2 things 1 do things on your time schedule we'll keep watching. 2 doors a the same as windows just don't need the cripple stud. King and Jack with a double layered 2x6 or 2x8 header and your good. Love seeing the process and the progress

[@kentcorbett5436]

It's looking good. I would think that you would only need a 12 inch header with the span that you have. For your garage door you may want a double 12 inch, so one on top of 1 another. And now to give you a good solid surface to bolt. The overhead tension Springs 2 for the door. If you want to look and see how to frame out a garage door there's several bill videos on KZbin on RR buildings. You may want to watch and they explain a good way of framing out garage doors and you're man door. Was your building being still framed? I don't think you have to worry on the span that you have

[@Donovanhikes]

Love your channel love your progress you’re doing an amazing job. Most likely better than hiring a contractor. Thanks for sharing.

[@thomashardwick673]

Looking amazing and have enjoyed the journey you have us on.

[@scootersl]

great build...hopefully you are gonna have spray foam insulation applied to the walls, adds structural strength and provides a great heat/cold and sound barrier

[@7eduardoep]

Looking forward to watching you tackle the electrical on this project. I've recently been doing the same on my own home, DFW local here as well.

[@LonestarHawaiian]

I may call in a little bit of help on electrical, but I'll be heavily involved lol

[@billybike57]

I gotta admit, I didn’t think you’d have the cahonnies to get this far. Great job, let no one ever tell you can’t do it, no matter what it is. Job well done!

[@richardangevine3768]

As the sill seal product you’re using isn’t waterproof I personally would have used a nice thick line of caulk sealant right on the concrete before installing the pink sill seal. Extra protection at a pretty cheap price. Fingers crossed your concrete is absolutely level with no little dips in it.

[@blueflamef]

You are a Beast! I worked for a contractor when I was a bit younger. You are doing great, especially since a lot of it is on your own. This will be a project to be proud of when its complete.. Enjoy following along!!

[@LonestarHawaiian]

Thank you for watching! I'm having a blast building this 🤙🏽

[@kirkkirchner2405]

I marvel at your ingenuity, and your hard work and dedication. I 've been watching your videos for a good while and every time I'm blown away by your work and your shop isn't any different. Like others have said, build it at your own pace and your "real" subscribers will continue to watch. Side note, I live within an hour from you and have always told myself if I ever ran into I would shake your hand and commend you on all of your work and success, so until that happens this will have to suffice. Keep it up, bro!

[@LonestarHawaiian]

Much appreciated! Keep an eye out for the trucks/cars in the wild. We're always out running around. Aloha 🤙🏽

[@toddharper-ok]

Love it! It’s taking forever because you are way more accurate than a contracted framing crew. As far as AG1 goes, my daughter stands beside me chanting chug, chug, chug, every morning. The struggle is real.

[@daniellawrence-yi7tq]

It’s awesome to see how much your channel has grown. I’ve been watching for a few years now and enjoy everything your doing.

[@LonestarHawaiian]

Much appreciated! 🤙🏽

[@matthewjohnson1643]

There is something about working with your hand and the satisfaction you get from it. Great job brother 👍🏽

[@Overpar73]

I'm so impressed with your construction skills, not bad for a computer guru, everything is looking fantastic and really good idea to add more windows, you'll be so happy with all the natural light coming into the shop! I'm so excited about my shop progress because we're going to pour the floor on Tuesday, they tell me it will take about 15 trucks! So sorry to hear about the corvette damage, loved the portable truck rack/work table idea. 200k is within your sights! Take care and don't work too hard bud!

[@jcgordon5330]

[@typaul5496]

Blocking is a great idea. Keeps the studs straight like you said anx also for when you want to hang anything heavy on the walls when sheetrocked like cabinets. Just a little note when you do your outside sheathing you have to block where the seams come together so you can nail it to pass frame inspection. Also fireblocks at 10' and sealed once sheathing is on.

[@ChokerTVMODIFIED]

Love the video and I love how you are learning in the process!

[@Peacekeeper150]

"Learn as you go" in DIY is really no different than going to school : ) It's an investment in your future!! Love it Brother

[@whohash2295]

True, more light is good. But remember windows on the est and west side bring more heat inside.

[@Jkapp3000]

Coming along nicely! Who’s picking this man up some new gloves 😁

[@LonestarHawaiian]

@MechanixGloves where you at??? 😂

[@CasasHomeConstruction]

Dude your rockin it!! Keep it up!! Tip Make yourself some sawhorses to cut your lumber!

[@n2deep8604]

Make a small grind mark on the concrete where every stud is. This way when you go to hang things, you can easily find the studs.

[@unsanctionedchaos2994]

A sharpie works better and doesn't gouge your concrete and give a place for dirt to hide. Also, if the sharpie marks drive you insane then a magic eraser will remove it if it's on polished concrete and sandpaper will remove it if it's on a broom finished concrete slab.

[@Laterdays2]

You’re doing it! It’s looking amazing.

[@LonestarHawaiian]

🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@steffaniepickering596]

U are doing an amazing job.

[@Oscar-ml6ch]

No better feeling of accomplishment than building your own shop.

[@jasonlukasik5595]

Awesome job! for the sides. What I would do is just pre-build them on the floor and then just stand them up into place. That would be the quickest way to do that.

[@wezwizard9794]

Good luck to you bud! I wish I was doing the same thing. It is a great learning curve and it looks like you are enjoying it

[@jimhunt5259]

NICE looking great!

[@legod1717]

Awesome Job! Love watching this build!🤙

[@Nifty_RC]

New to the channel and already hooked! I’ve been waiting for a new uploaded it’s awesome your learning and doing it yourself!

[@tsjuno]

The shop is coming along nicely. I just can’t stop thinking you are going to regret not putting a drain in for a sink. Or even a bathroom. It can still be done but I’d do it before you close the walls in. I’ve core drilled a lot of slabs to put electrical services in. The newer the concrete the easier it is.

[@chrism6620]

Amazing job man! Keep it up!

[@denniswade1283]

Bruh! You are doing a great job. It looking real good.

You should consider buying a used scissor lift like a genie 1930. Use it and resell it when you are done. I bought one building my 65x70 shop but I kept it. I have a 20-foot ceiling...the lift makes everything inside much easier..

[@LonestarHawaiian]

100% should have before I bought this scaffolding. Figure I'm getting a workout every time I climb up this thing 😅

[@johnnya.quevedo2552]

This going to be one of the best shop builds on KZbin cause all the work being done by yourself much respect to have a full time job being a husband and a dad and still able to build that shop is amazing

[@LonestarHawaiian]

I appreciate it!

[@STeter76]

Looks amazing. It's nice to see the average joe doing his own work.

[@joshuahasson9687]

Just a thought but you could hold a weekend subscriber help session where you select a number of people to come help frame. I’ve seen other people I follow do this on projects they want to speed up… assuming you want to speed this part up. Love the progress though!

[@user-st9wh4ed5l]

Hope you have the plan done for running power to the garage now. Not that hard depending where the box is on the side of your home and the amperage. Definitely want to do that in the frame stage. Love the videos and great work.

[@questionmarkproductions766]

Congratulations on your new shop building 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@wannabefishing37]

I love this series! Regardless of your skill set just shows with some determination and research you can do! Then at the end you can look back and say "yes! I did that!" Oh and its cheaper too! 😂

[@mattzembower2042]

Looks good so far, enjoy

[@mattg43]

Dont worry about the timing. Doing work and learning takes time. You are making good progress, so move at the pace you can, while keeping the neighbors and HOA happy, and keep on going. The 6ft blocking makes a big difference in stability, but a pain to add after the fact. (and is why my walls are 12ft tall, just one row). And I am sure you are already working on it and doing so, but building your side walls with all the same height down on the ground and lifting the walls into place will make incredibly short work of the process.

[@LonestarHawaiian]

I think that's the plan for the side walls. 🤙🏽🤙🏽 Thanks for watching!

[@stitchthroughlife]

With all the weather ya'll get in Texas, I you do heavy-duty glass or plexi.

[@THExLAWxMAN]

I just ran across your channel, and I have subscribed. This shop build looks great so far. And I live just south of Houston, so I know the struggle with the weather. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the build. 🎉

[@LonestarHawaiian]

Thanks for the sub!

[@mytubebobbie06h]

14:39 - That is Avery smart idea to add blocking. I, personally, would have set up the blocking vertically, meaning the widest flat part of the block running stud to stud staying flush against the edges of the stud’s so that later when you want to hang cabinets or something you have the blocking you can screw into rather than just the 1.5 inches of the edge of those studs.

[@seansmart2038]

Shop is looking great

[@willmotz92]

Take a 2×4 the length in between your up rights and lay on side and it strengthen your piece on top
