It's a scam
I looked into this and it's a bad idea. They basically make you default on your loans which will kill your credit and you pay into escrow to pay off the collections agencies.
Here's a free debt analysis with out contacting a company: If you have debt, quit buying shit and save your money and make extra payments. Also don't watch RUclips channels that buy expensive stuff constantly cause it makes you want to buy stuff.
Also, thumbs down on the video for predator sponsors. Next im sure you're gonna do draftqueens and you'll get the same responses under your sponsor comments. We do the same thing on Cleeters videos.
Building an empire on peoples addictions and bad decisions is disgusting.
Use the spare sheet of tin from behind the container and run it a foot past the frame. Thank me latter 😂
Man, I love your long-form content. I look forward to it after a long day of work while I'm chowing down on dinner!
I feel the same way!! Love grubbing down watching one of his longer videos.
I really enjoy that these videos show EVERYTHING you do. The perfect results and not-so-perfect. You even include the moments of completion where you look at it and say, "Yeah. I don't think I like the results and I'll likely re-do it. Refreshing to see not everyone is out to bash you on every single detail! Let's see a few of these guys' homemade awnings and race cars. Dang. Keep up the amazing content.
Sweet! A 54 minute video with major changes!
Son of a gun.... it was a shelf and overhang
exactly my thoughts haha
In my defense. We were supposed to get the loft material in too and start setting that up. But I found out after two weeks my payment didn’t process so I had to do it again. That was the video title I had in my head and I couldn’t think of anything else. Lol did you atleast enjoy watching it? It’s the most footage I’ve ever had for one video. 3 128gb cards. Took my two days to edit it between doing half then working in the shop to finish it. Then back to editing probably 12 hours of editing.
@@Taylordriftsof course we still enjoyed it and I bet the next vid will be truly huge if the supplies for the loft come in
@@TaylordriftsI think some people who have never edited a video doesn’t know the extent of time of doing so. You also probably check the edited video several times which eats a lot of time to make sure it’s what you want. Plus the time to upload.
There needs to be a slope from the building to the edge of the awning. Otherwise, you will get water puddling. Since there is no seal between the wall and awning, you are going to have water get trapped between them, this can lead to the paneling to prematurely rusting.
aluminum doesn't rust
@@billmadison2032aluminum doesn’t but steel siding will. Everywhere it’s breached by the holes drilled for the screws. He is correct. It’s gonna pool water & be an issue.
@billmadison2032 the siding will rust, it's not aluminum. Also, since he drilled into the building and it is not sealed, water can now get inside and soak into the spray foam if it is open cell. If it is closed cell it will cause the inside of the wall to start rusting.
Free pudding from rain? I love it
I’m going to caulk the back and seal the screws. I’m just waiting until I decide which route to go on the top panel
That awning was a weird choice man.... You should have done a leaning roof with support posts like you did for the extension off the back. That awning is getting ripped off in the first storm you get with high wind.
This.
watch it survive Hurricane season with zero issues.
Definitely a weird choice ... and very ugly and a failed design
Yeah, and could have been built to offer more coverage. The whole clear panel thing is nice and all if you're gonna clean the topside often and if that was a make or break option. Could have gotten a coupe clear roof panel sections and done the whole roof that way.
I don't think it will get ripped off but I definitely don't love the look of it. Like you said posts going to the ground with an actual roof would look a lot better.
Good day when there's a new house improvement video
Is the house improvement video in the room with us 🤔
@@emericaman16 *property improvement. so so sorry
Huricane season will test how sturdy the awning is! 😂
If I remember right he's pretty far inland so it may not be a huge issue for him.
@@sirmonkey1985 yeah I’m pretty much middle
Of the state. But we still get some wild winds. I’ve got faith in it. Lol
You built a mighty fine sail.
Never thought I'd be excited to watch a dude clean and work on his shop, but here I am lol. Love these vids, so relaxing after a long day at work.
Having been a metal fabricator and machinist for most of My life,hearing you say your getting a “mill”.Now there are a HUGE amount of mills out there,in My opinion Bridgeport being the best.Get the best quality mill you can afford and realize that if you don’t already have a 3phase converter you will need one so your mill will have enough power to do what you need it to .
He needs a drive unit that supports his motor HP size and he will be fine. Easiest way to get 3 phase with single/split phase power.
oh, so in your expert opinion the most well known lathe-makers in the world make a decent lathe? thanks for that invaluable insight
@@StanleyKubick1 Sarcasm,really ! All I did was recommend 1type of milling machine.Save the sarcasm !
Everyone has made some pretty good comments. My suggestion would be put a 45 sea container on the left side of the garage and put in 2 man doors, one in the container, one in the shop. Wouldn’t need a lift to get to anything. I would put it close enough that you could step into it without touching the ground. If it’s not connect to the shop then it’s not expanding the building size.
Taylor- you should make your welding table and that big work table the same height. You could push them together if you have a big project.
Why didn’t you just match the awning you put on the back of your building?
Has a full sheet of the roofing too.
Just a kind suggestion. Pallet racking is fast, stout, and you can do a lot with it. Store engines, parts, whatever. The only space youd lose is the uprights on the floor.
You can also weld to it making your own light brackets, hose rack, whatever.
I made my own shelves, theyre fun and all if you want to spend all day. Or just spend the $300 bucks to get a couple uprights and a couple shelves. Time saved>money spent. More utility and you dont have to hang off your walls.
You can start your shelves 8 foot up above the packouts. They sell 12 foot beams. You'd be able to stick a large % of the stuff you have up there with 3 12 foot shelves.
Was really hoping Taylor would reconsider and move the stacker lift to one side and build one big loft. Just makes way more sense, it looks like such a pain in the ass every time he takes one of the cars on the loft out of the shop. 5 point turns, jacking and sliding cars over. Doesn't seem like the ideal setup.
I said the same thing to myself. but I think he did it this way because he is going to concrete the back yard and he can just drive the cars in and out the back
@@GaryM-1985 you are correct!
It would definitely be a good idea to move the 4 post lift and the build a lift. Will save so much time and money in the future.
Would definitely be worth the hassle to do this, even with the concrete pad in the back it would not be ideal. I’m sure clutter will build up back there and not end up getting used anyways, way easier to just drive in and out straight out the front through the 2 post lifts
I feel like loft each side wirh cars in middle is more unique why do it like everyone else would be different
Get some of the roofing material used from the shop and place the edge of the roof structure past the patio (add a slope). Get crazy and add gutters to the shop, include the new structure.
Dig two footings for sonotube to your region min depth (aka frost line where I live). Use those footings to support the roof structure. Use a veener over the vertical studs that matches the shop siding. Trim the roof how the shop looks and bob is your uncle!
Well my 2 cents, did you think about rain pudding on the material, might want to add a pitch so water runs off. Water might get trapped and run down the wall of the building. With the acrylic the hot sun temp is gonna have an affect. Lets talk about your wind/storms, will the wind get ahold of that sail and rip it off??? I think I would much rather see a slope roof with a gutter and some post supports. I always enjoy your adventures and projects!!!
The shelf looks absolutely sick. Shows how much of an improvement the loft is going to be! Tint on the clear awning top will be pretty cool I think! 👍
We are going to finally build the loft.... proceeds to build a shelf and an awning. Lol, love the shop content.
Should just go with a lean too that goes down the length of the garage. Even if you don't put down a cement pad, you still got some extra storage or outdoor work space that is covered.
Am I the only one wondering why there’s no slope to it? Aren’t awnings supposed to be able to having water run off of them and not pool on top?
Love the shop content
Constantly amazed by your creativity and ingenuity. Keep up the great work!
Flip the frame downside-up so the supports go up. Put a support in the middle. Add some rake, cover it all in aluminum. Have fun!
If you are drilling plastic, you want to buy plastic drill bits or modify your drill bit to have zero rake angle. This will prevent cracking, also over sizing the hole 1/16" allows for expansion and contraction.
I look forward to your videos every time! Love the house/shop content.
Should put the four post car lift in the corner, it would open up the space, seem roomier
i actually have to watch your posts twice!! so much to learn!!
Should add a piano hinge to the top, and add another section to the outter part but with adjustable legs so that you can have a functioning awning. But also a wall at times for when the rain is really bad here
Hear me out, 4x4 post coming out of the ground and build a wooden awning. It won’t be as noisy in the rain. Can be some kind of pergola too.
Where has Jose been??
Busy AF at his and his bros shop (I don't know how to spell his bros name 😂). He touched on that a few videos ago and it's always been known that he's only around when it's slow and obviously for events as pit crew!
Good for him, I hope they make it big.
@@gregholmes3661 they have been running their shop for years now. Taylor has been there a few times. It's a Nissan specialty shop if I'm not mistaken (I'm about 80% sure 🤔).
I was about to post RIP Jose... feel like we haven't seen the guy in for ever.
Literally was thinking this as well!
Hey mate, I have a hack for you. I have a walk behind lift like yours and also work alone most of the time. I have wired in an electric winch wireless remote to operate the lift and lower solenoids so I can raise and lower the lift while I’m standing on it. Made a massive difference for me and was super easy to wire up and cheap to buy. Hope that helps and happy to give technical assistance if needed but i’m sure you can work it out 👍
those chairs are definitely still going to be wet unless all the rain in florida drops straight down, not sure I love the awning but props for the build regardless
Cool idea. Same set up you put on the rear of the shop seems practical.
Yeah this awning seems gay
I like the clear much more than the metal. You keep doing what works for you
Great idea, great effort! The redo outcome will be much better.
Man ive been watching for a while now and im baffled as to why you dont have more subs! You a great guy taylor keep up the hard work 👍🏻
Hey, my dude! I've been designing large, electrical signs for 12+ years. A great material for your transparent awning sheathing would be modified acrylic. It has the same flexible attributes as polycarb, but it's WAY more UV resistant. I prefer modified acrylic over any UV resistant polycarb. Anyways, sick video as always 🤙🤙
Appreciate the realness in your content, it's like a dose of authenticity
Shut up bot
Reported
Great vid! Maybe some new trees near the shop would be cool? After a couple of years you'll get the shade on your patio and would cut down on shop heat. Just a thought.
Hey Taylor, you should put a small angle 1/2" over 12" to keep water from building up.
Can’t you just use your extra siding/roofing panels for a large awning? Even if you have to paint
Good idea
I'm loving these longer videos
Hell yea brother! Been waiting for this for sooooo long!!!!
MAN YOU HAVE ONE OF THE BEST PAINT BOOTH'S I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAH
Oddly obsessed with the yard/home improvement vids lol
Absolutely can not wait till the loft project gets goin but if it were me id do the awning all aluminum then paint it the same color as the shop so that it just blends in and looks like its supposed to be there. Also i think some of the other comments are right in that you need it to be sloped down so that water doesnt sit up there or even worse against the shops wall. Even with caulking and all that i think adding a slope couldnt hurt plus you could probably modify it pretty easily to do so when you re do it
Loving the house/property/shop renovations.
Turn buckles and wire. I think it looks great. live with it for a bit. good job taylor
You should put a layer or tar patio roof on top. That should add a lot of longevity.
Put your logo on the lexan with transparent colored vinyl.
I hope you don't get any lensing issues causing focused sun spots from the PC. Either way it looks a lot more functional than the previous one.
right on time for me to watch while eating popeyes
Aww man, been wanting some Popeyes. Whatcha get?
One thing to keep in mind when creating different work surfaces, it’s a good idea to try keep them all at the same height, you’ve the mobile work top, but it’s bit late here but for anyone that might read it, it drastically increases work area, both fixed and non fixed
Should put stacker in the back after cementing so you have more shop space then build 1 big loft
Major changes?
Having a mill and lathe I highly recommend Rigid dark thread cutting oil.
It works incredibly well for drilling, tapping, cutting and reaming.
Damn just had a flashback of how the shop used to be when you first moved in, till now. Crazy transformation
The poly Allows the motion light above to light the lock walking up. I use the tinted corrugated plastic as it's see through but also blocks a lot of UV rays and stops the heat of the sun.
Dude! The see thru doors would still be awesome!! Don't let that idea go!! Keep up the good content!!
That mag drill is sweet kid, nice choice.
21:52 If you hit the shelf brackets wall attachment legs with some white, the shelves would look like they were floating.
That's going to be loud when it rains. It might be best if you keep the aluminum frame and replace the sheet metal and lexan with fabric material meant for awnings.
Have you considered starting a second channel? Maybe having a channel more dedicated to track driving? I saw on Coopers podcast that you don't always record going to the track. I watch all of your content. If you had more content I would also be watching it! Thanks for all you do Taylor! Hope to tandem with you one day.
The two main things I would have done differently are:
Around a 2/12 pitch and I would have put the supports under tension instead of compression so they couldn't possibly be in the way.
Always thought you would be a 10 or 12' aluminum patio cover and concrete deck down the side of the shop for maximum hangout area
I would have made those extra braces mount on the top side going up. It would keep the “living space” clean from braces. Also would have angled it a bit. Haven’t got that far in the vid yet so maybe you did. Love you brother!
I feel like these types of videos arnt a popular thing anymore like they used to be. Like everyone would show house upgrades or garage upgrades but just don’t anymore I always enjoy these types of videos.
you might also have to add or move that exterior light, great job on the awning though love the videos👍
You can get tinted poly like that as well which would be better for shade
Cover all with metal and cut in little plexis windows like skylights 👌
Today was a good day. Looks good to me, maybe some tint but I'm here for the clear. I would see how it does in a storm before doing anything in case you want more changes after being battle tested.
Love this Trad-Dad content, so relatable
U could’ve really angled the mounting points for the braces to get some height out of them. The awning needs a pitch anyways so water will go where u want it too.
Since it's just two hours of sunlight that hits it, seems like the main thing you were interested in was rain protection anyway. I almost wonder if putting some kind of design in the aluminum awning part to break it up and tie it together with more lexan would do wonders, then paint it, tint the lexan and call it a day. I personally don't think the lexan part looks bad, I think it's just the clashing of the two materials so if you could find a way to incorporate some of the lexan into it to break it up it might look better.
Love the idea of a bigger awning, but I personally would’ve extended out past the concrete to cover the whole thing and put supports in the ground like the back of the shop. But it’s your shop and I’ll watch the videos no matter what you do. Love the content.
I’d put a center support on that, strong storm or hurricane will likely bend that or rip it off.
I'm so excited for the loft build!
It looks good. I’d tint it. I think that would help it not look unfinished.
23:40 haven't watched further yet but you could use the shade for the AC condenser on the sunny side of the shop.
I like the clear idea! Think it would be cool with a slight downslope(so water goes away from building), and you could get away with a couple center supports that dont come down as far as the end ones for headroom.
I hope the flat roof isn't going to be a problem.
Clear acrylic isn't going to provide much shade . If anything it will just make the Sun seem hotter .
I think a 3 ft piece of aluminum at both ends and tinted lexan in the middle would look cool
Tour definitely gonna need some 45 degree bracing for the bottom or it won't last long especially if it gets windy
I would done all aluminum with a little 1x1 hole wjth the glass that way your getting the shad affect while still being able to see out of it and still see the rain
All acrylic with tint is the best option imo
Take a peaning hammmer around the edge of the sheet and it will shrink it to take away the worping
Put the support rods above to hang the panel.
I think you should tint the panel I think it’s cool to have it be see thru and will be cooler with the tint I think and offer some shade
You can always try the corrugated pvc that comes in clear and smoked so you still get some light and it looks pretty good. Plus it’s not very expensive
It’s a valiant effort. It’s functional what more can a guy ask for. If you were to do it again I’d probably do two posts out at the edge of the slab and build a more sloped roof using corrugated roofing and they make the same material in see through plastic for the sky light affect, or a gable end would look nice off of the door and give you a better view, either way great job as always. Just some food for thought. Cheers.
Can’t wait for the loft to be done
I do commercial and residential window tint for a living and I will say that window film does not like to stick to plastic or acrylic I’ve always had a bad time trying to ever get it to work but I will say vinyl will work better for that than thin non stretchy film with how much it flex’s
I like the handheld footage you shot because it feels more conversational and you can focus attention easier, but if you do more please consider investing in better image stabilization. Maybe its just because I already have a headache but those clips were hard to watch.
I think an RV awning would be a really easy option here. It could be way larger so it can actually offer shade all day, fully retractable, sloped, way easier to install and still pretty cheap if you pick up a used frame. I know you like a fab project but this seems like a lot more work for a less refined end result.
Mull the overhang thingy for a bit. Weigh the pro and cons and see if there's other things that need adjustment; like if it will do the job against the rain or not. etc etc. :) it is cool! The clear thingy is nice for night time I guess - especially with how late you seem to work sometimes. However, tinting it would solve a lot of things too!!! But then might block some of the stars overhead but shrug - you got a whole big yard to look up from!!! My remote virtual thoughts :) good luck whatever you decide and as I have said in the past, it's your shop (or rather car in the past lol) so do what makes YOU happy! I admire it as it is now!!! if it has some built in thingy to drive away mosquitos, even better!!!! *grin*
Literally been waiting for this build for years. Every video I ask myself, is this the one where he builds the loft? And it's finally here!
lol annnnnd nope…
Proceeds to spend the rest of the video dumping rubbish and fabricating stuff he could of just went and bought... I'm lost here.
@@adamhenley6534 Ya, I wrote my comment at the beginning of the video and half way through I'm like yup, got me again.
Thanks for the efforts!!
