Just a few tips. There is moisture barrier that is supposed to go between the treated lumber and concrete it's very cheap and a must. Ordering your concrete in a cement truck is worth it and not much more cost wise. If it was me I'd just frame the workshop as lumber is very cheap now. I just built a 1260 sqft addition for 10k that's framed and sided and roofed.
Looks perfect for a lake “house”. I’d have the French door on the side though. And leave a big overhead garage door to park the boat in. What size is the car port?
Good point....However, Once wood/organics gets isolated from the environment or air per say, the concrete should create sort of a time capsule and reduce rot. The most famous example of a Viking ship discovered preserved due to being covered in mud for centuries is the Gokstad ship. Sorry I'm a history buff. Great RUclips Channel, Texas Art Company. The best video showcasing how to convert an exsisting structure. I loved how you relocated the carport. I've shared this vid with my crew. #Liked #Subscribed
Most people who move buildings or structures will add quite a few braces to keep the building from twisting. I think you got real lucky moving it with no braces!!
I wasn’t that confident in the strength of those style bolts. We felt bolts straight to the rebar we’re gonna give us the best structural integrity we could get and with all this weight on an aluminum carport I felt it was the right move.
I can't imagine why you spent so much time making wood blocks and trying to lay out bolts. I would have just poured the cement, set the building and drilled in kwik bolts. No lay out, no measuring.
This was definitely the most challenging part of the project. Fair point, probably would have worked. But, I wanted bolts tied into the rebar for more stability. We felt it would be easier to “backpour” instead of try and place it over those bolts.
@TexasArtCompany Kwik bolt's go in after the building is in place which is why it's better. No careful layout or alignment issues. You drlll the holes in the concrete right through the metal frame and drive in the anchor. If the concrete is any good, they are as strong as anything.
why in the heck would you use wood to hold that rebar??? you don't want wood in your concrete pad. thats a huge mistake. . might as well rip out those corners and do it right with all concrete and rebar only. jeeeezzzeeee
A lot of thought went into the design and we decided that was the best decision considering all the factors. If those corners rot out I think I will have gotten plenty of use out of this shop for the price and time frame. But I do agree, concrete corners would have been better. The challenge was “how to” tie bolts into the rebar. Trying to place a carport over the bolts in a foundation wasn’t an option. The only choice was to figure out how to place a carport over top of open rebar and tie the bolts in that way. Rather than try to drill anything into concrete. We felt this was way stronger. Thanks for the support 🙏
Totally agree. I definitely can’t use it for finish work, but it’s the best I could do on a budget. Hopefully with this design I can easily pour a floor in time. Thanks for the support 🙏
I agree. The Froth Pak insulation video is the next step in the process. I hope to be able to showcase more of the process soon. Unfortunately I have been using the space as is for now. But now that this video is starting to grow and seeing the support I’m excited to do more. Thanks for the support.
Could he have done things differently? Yeah. Will this serve the purpose of a workshop and a shelter from the weather? absolutely. He can still button this thing up and make it more suitable but it beats the hell out of no workshop. Hope to see some awesome content come from your new shop bro! 💪
You feel that you can do better , prove it. Otherwise, maybe try not being a POS when you have no profile info & no content posted, because it makes you look like a BOT. What he built gets the job done and is functional
If you’re referring to “don’t tread on me”, I encourage you to simply google the flag. I am a proud American but this is not a politically motivated channel in anyway. God bless you.

Omg 😳 Thank you so much🙏
Thanks!
So humbled, thank you for the support.

Perfect lake house shop 👍👍. 24x18. Thank you for the support!
What's the roof like? Any ways to improve it?
It is pretty solid right now. But I do get condensation on it from the difference in temperature inside and out. I need to fix that soon.
Those 4x4 in the concrete are gonna rot out quick
Thanks for the heads up.
or last a lifetime.

Great RUclips Channel, Texas Art Company. The best video showcasing how to convert an exsisting structure.
I loved how you relocated the carport. I've shared this vid with my crew. #Liked #Subscribed
I give you an A for effort and for making it happen.
Thank you 🙏
So will you be putting any kind of floor in ? great work btw
I will as the budget permits. Thank you 🙏
Most people who move buildings or structures will add quite a few braces to keep the building from twisting. I think you got real lucky moving it with no braces!!
The repurposed trees certainly helped but I was also worried! 🙏
A little flex might've been helping, at least with a slow pull and with its weight more or less spread as it was designed to be.
Why not just screw casters to the bottom of the frame? Definitely be easier.

Good job
Thank you 🙏
How much did the carport cost?
It came with my property
Love this!
How is the update on this?
Standing strong 💪, no issues
Insulate the unit as it will be an oven n the summer
I did just that and you are correct. Texas is something else in the summer 😂
@ I’m in Florida and built a metal building and spray foamed it,looks great by the way and merry Christmas
Dude i just came here from your linseed video! Im subscribing! Fuckin great
Made my day! Big year upcoming ✌️Thanks for the support
After all that work moving it. I would of just took that thing apart and rebuild it over ur slab
We thought about it
Wow!
Thank you
Wow, great job!!
Thank you 🙏

Wow pretty damn cool
Thank you 🙏
nice
Thank you
Looks good! What size carport is that?
Thank you 🙏, 18x25
Like that flag. Great job
Thank you 🙏

Not bad.
Thank you. Not bad for a budget build 😂
A dirt floor in a shop?Not a good idea. Otherwise good work..
Totally agree. I definitely can’t use it for finish work, but it’s the best I could do on a budget. Hopefully with this design I can easily pour a floor in time. Thanks for the support 🙏
I done a lot of work in a dirt floor shop. My machine shop had a dirt floor for years. And many old shops did.
Too bad you never followed up on this.
I agree. The Froth Pak insulation video is the next step in the process. I hope to be able to showcase more of the process soon. Unfortunately I have been using the space as is for now.

130$ for delivered dirt lol that's 1998 prices big bud!
😂 East Texas gold
I dont know who you consulted to do this endeavor but next time, find someone who knows what they're doing.
Thanks for the support 🙏

@@BrassMtn Merry Christmas Brother. Thank you. Big things coming next year!
I enjoyed the video, I'm not sure why some are so critical. Well done 👍

1:15 thanks for showing your "step on me harder daddy" flag in the background so I know to click off.

lost me at dry pour ..im kidding ill finsih watching ,, but seriously never do that again.. soo many vids out there testing it.. just dont..
I agree. If I felt it was structural I certainly wouldn’t have.
