You keep saying you did everything by yourself. Let’s show some appreciation for all the relatives and friends and neighbors who helped you man. Garage looks awesome!
If you watched part 1 of this video, he mentioned several times he had help from neighbors and relatives. His point is that he didn't hire professional help for the most part. (He did hire a consultant when starting the stucco process)
There is enough space in the "attic" that you could have used some for storage, so installing collapsible ladder access with a larger, framed access hole would have been nice. Wifi switches are nice, but for those who worry about signal interruption or someone hacking your system, since you trenched for conduit, you can run switch legs to a switch inside the house as well.
All of that electrical you say you should've added can be easily added. From your sub-panel up to the attic and down to the outlet location you want. In or outside.
I THINK YOU DID A FANTASTIC JOB !!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING!! I’m getting ready to buy a piece of property and I was just talking to my son about me and him building a garage. So thank you !!
What you did with your skill set was fantastic. Don't be to hard on yourself. The building is something to be proud of. You and everybody else who has built a shop wishes they had done other stuff. You cannot have enough outlets. You can add other stuff over time as your shop develops or your priorities. A 2 poster car lift would be a nice addition in time. (Don't know if you are car minded.) A nice way to let your neighbours or friends repair theirs.(payback for all their help.) Enjoy your shop. 🙂
looks really good! I might steal the closest idea for my residential garage. I would be nice to tuck and lock my expensive and larger tools away since cars are constantly driving by and able to see into my garage
good job. quite amazing really.. one guy on YT spent 12k on his garage, but there is no insulation, no electricity, no network, No sheetrock, and the trusses are not nearly as sturdy as yours, and he did not have any garage doors and he did not add in the foundation or how it got there. He did have a foundation but I didnt see if he added that.. I mean, you need lights in your garage. So that other guy just put up a shell. But you have a "garage". And you put in cabinets and a work bench and a TV and all that tubing and wiring.. That's how you do it. But ya speaking of WIFI.. Alexa is a neccessity. Just interface your apps for the lights with Alexa and give Alexa a verbal command is even better than using the app. I have plugs for lights and bulbs that have built in Wifi..And it all goes through Alexa. Now my mom wants a Wifi Thermostat for her house. By the way, I tried searching for your Channel Name and it didnt come up. Your channel name sounds like a "task" rather than a channel name. So, I think it confuses the YT algo.
Yes, I'd have recommend a drain and water inside. Don't beat yourself up over the little bit of ponding. We had a small (10x25) sunning slab poured and I explained to the 25 year concrete veteran I wanted a healthy slope with no puddles/ponding. I didn't find out till the first rain it had a few puddles. You do not have too many outlets. I suggest putting a sheet of luan on the workbench with screws around the perimeter only. When it gets nasty, flip it over. Too much history in that little pup truck to put an electric motor in it. Leave it stock and use it. Like the vids and your efforts.

Great video, wonderful shop setup. It seems to me that everything you say you wish you would have done could still be done without much effort.

Very very nice. Your use of the white paint on the walls and ceiling makes this very bright and inviting.
Thanks for posting.

Thanks for the video. Very will done. Also, the fact that you said what you would have done differently, I really liked that.

Awsome job.

Interested in seeing all your projects!
That is fantastic. That is what I need. An the price is great.

I would put a little cumins diesel or an older Toyota 22re engine. Both are fun and crazy reliable
Everything looks great!!! What are the odds that you would send us the size of the windows that you used for a similar project here????
I would love to see the projects
An OUTDOOR wood burner on a concrete slab is your answer. It will easily heat your insulated garage without using interior square footage.
The moisture in your compressed air lines will run down into your outlets; that isn't the end of the world but be aware of it.
Smoke detectors? Extinguisher(s), first aid kit?
What was the final cost?
Hi. Where are you located
Love the views.
What was the total price?
20k just materials he did all the work
No air conditioning and heater?
