Around the 13 minute mark, when you got off the ladder to hold Ruby during the storm, just melted my heart ♥ One of the many reasons you all are my favorite family on RUclips! Bless you all 🙏
I have always wondered why so much Plywood in buildings in the USA when they tend to have so much extreme weather. Bricks and concrete will last a thousand years, Plywood lasts about ten minutes when ants and such like get to work on it.
I used the European clay wall look, applying sheetrock mud troweling the wall smooth, like you would do mortar, then using my hands, smoothed the edges and made it look like a clay wall.
Why not try building a corduroy section over the swampy sections? I met many of the workers that built the Alcan highway during WW2... The road stood up very well for nearly 30 years, before it was completely rebuilt, due to much increased traffic volumes and loads... 🙂🤓👍
Much agreed. And when they pulled it out, many of the logs were still in great shape! Anaerobic environment. Doing that would certainly be a temporary fix to help get them to town:)
Just a thought, we in the South(I’m in NC) don’t texture our dry wall. Since you despise drywall do not texture it. Of course before you paint you need to use a primer but that can be rolled or sprayed. I personally love a flat surface. Just a thought!
I agree. If you do not like the paint on sheeetrock look then do a smooth skim coat. You can roll it on and use a 30 inch or 40 inch skim coat knife. by the time you do the shop you will be pretty good at it.
My single most favorite author is probably Louis Lamour. I may boast that I have read everything he has written, most of which I throughly enjoyed. The western series is among the best, but he wrote a number of others that I really liked. “The Walking Drum”, was one of my favorites.
I discovered Louis L'Amour in my teens and still have many of the paperbacks. I've thought for a while that Red Poppy Ranch videos remind me of the books somehow.
Congratulations on having a library card! It can save you money and keep you sane at the same time. From Chiton’s to repair my junk cars to college courses, it’s heaven sent! Worked for me for 60+ years!
Heath, you, sir, are a BEAST! I admire your persistence in staying on that drywall job. All that up and down on the ladder or scaffold would have killed me.
You’re cracking me up Heath! I’m with you 1000% in having a strong disdain for hanging drywall as well as taping and finishing. It’s an art, and one that I’m not good at. I can do it, just as you, but it’s painful.
A friend and myself worked with a 14’ lift and I know what you mean about being harder to put the sheets on the lift. We built ourselves a 13” step stool and it made a lot of difference. I think you’re doing a great job, so keep up the great work 👍👍!
You made such great progress. I can see why Cedar is excited about it. It looks like a finished building at last! I hope you can get help with the taping and mudding.
Look at positive side! Road issues keeping you focused on one job longer than you normally achieve on your own. Cannot remember on any one project getting this focas. Progressing very well. Safety in numbers, even if kids playing case you fall and cannot call for help! Texturing garage?? Never seen garage textured ever. 😂😂😂
I'd think twice about texturing the drywall in the shop...the rough finish will trap and hold all the exhaust, dust and dirt making it look old and dirty fast...a smooth finish would be way better IMHO.
Amazing how Bright the dry wall makes the shop look. You will have the nicest Shop I have ever seen. I wouldn't want to work on a project in there for fear of messing up the cleanliness.
The shop is looking great! And the best news, you’re getting some much needed rain! If I were you, I’d just add fixall to your paint and bam, you texture as you paint! You can add more or less fixall to the paint for the level of texture you want. It might not be the best way to texture, but it’s certainly the easiest and it works! It’s a shop so doesn’t need to be a professional texture job. Try it.
Glad to hear you got rid of that pain in the a$$ excavator you had that was more of a lawn ornament rather then a tool. Cant wait to see what you picked up!
I admire you strenght al the time,first when you are bilding your house by yourself and shop and everything around it and now making the shop looking good and a livingspace inside.
Heath you may hate the idea of having to hang drywall. Most people that have gone through the similar process of hanging and finishing drywall don't enjoy the process either. However I suspect the pain associated with this process will be forgotten when next winter comes around and you are enjoying your warm shop that you can work in.
Heath, the very least you could do is close the lid on the tool box if you are going to leave it out in the rain. A tarp would be nice but if it were mine it wouldn't be out in the rain. Shop is looking great with the drywall installed.
The road will not be solved until ditches are dug all along the uphill side and culverts installed under your road to get rid of the water from snow melt and rain.
When you're done with the lift keep it. It works great for getting heavy things off the top shelves,. Put the top horizontal, attach a piece of plywood, lock the wheels then roll it over to the shelf and slide the box/item onto the lift from you on the ladder next to it. Then just crank it down, roll it over to where you need it. Rinse and repeat to put it back. (Or just invest in a forklift)
My favorite Louis L 'Amour book is Jubal Sackett. My son downloaded most of L 'Amour's audio books so I have a lot to listen to. Good job on the drywall
You really need to purchase a taller ladder to be able to reach higher than standing on the top of the step ladder. You really want to be safe to get this job completed.
your welcome.. and it been fun watching all of your videos to and look forward to each post. been here from the start and you have built what most dream of. God bless and i look forward to your next posting's .
God bless you! Your determination and commitments to your family and home, inspire many people. YOU are a real. Thank you for your excellent example!! 😃
@@tbirdracefan Yeap, he is just building a very expensive rec room and storage space for his wife's excess holiday decorations. His choice, not mine. But this is not an airport.
He will build a new shop, realize it is too far away from the house. He will then transform the new shop into a living space with more privacy and completely undo all of this and return it to a shop he always wanted
@@peszekv incorrect. Step one: build a new larger shop on the extra land. Step 2: Damn that’s far. Step 3: Construct new and improved house in close proximity to second shop.
I was told about L'Amor when I was 14 in 79'. I haven't read a book of his in forever. He was a great Western novelist until he passed in the late 80s.😢
Heath, You have almost as much energy as my sons German Shorthaired Pointer (GSP) Love your work ethic and the love for your family. Thanks for what you do. If only I was 25 years younger. Do you know what I like about drywall? Nothing!!! But I appreciate the skill it takes to make it look good. BTW, I got my 9.5-Kw solar system up and running. Thanks.
The shop is coming along great. It will be easier to heat or cool that space and it’s better than staring at concrete walls or insulation. i may have missed this part if you talked about it but i would add some insulation in the void above the ceiling’s drywall. Once that is in place…. whooooo weeeee, you can spark up your woodstove and that shop become nice and toasty n no time.
pioneers used to use logs placed at 90 degrees to the road in areas of sandy or soft surfaces, such as soil that would turn to mud. I remember my grandfather telling me about the coast trail along the southern oregon. the narrow road was used until the state actually build the first coast highway above the beach road, later becoming highway 101. the road/trail went along the storm tide area on the beaches, where the hillsides was too steep to build. remember this was all done with hand tools. just watch some episodes of swamp loggers. just remember you need to use the logs @ 90 degrees from the road, as you're not using 4 foot wide tires. I've used the same process on my property, where I have areas that turn to quicksand when wet. with the wood/log base, I then used large rock, then a clay, gravel base, before crusher fines, then gravel then fines again. I use no ditch on the uphill side, I dug down to put logs along the outside to prevent run off erosion, then seeded the ground along the edge of the road and down the hillside, for erosion control. I've been living here over 11 years with no further road upkeep, except a little smoothing by adding a top dressing in a few small areas. no splash holes in the surface. a few sections of drain tile, under the logs, might be helpful in that mudpit.
What a transformation looks fantastic. The road is certainly wrecked. Glad you can somehow manage to get the kids to school and back though.cany wait to see all the things you have planned for the summer or what is left of it for you. Weather has been crazy all over the world but I'm sure you will get it done . God bless from Australia ❤❤❤❤
Fixing the drywall to the rafters. Are you still going to insulate the underside of the roof? The drywall is transforming the shop and making it look a lot brighter. Your hard work is paying off.
I went camping with friends last weekend east of Munds Park. The spring green of the Ponderosa 's and spice against the clear blue skies was spectacular!
As usual, watching your content has slowed me down on my projects, lol. Might think about no texture depending on on use of shop or preference, texture collects dust!!! Glad to see you guys, back to my off grid shop projects, God bless!!!!
Time for some vertical storage racks on the East wall less windows. Same stuff they use at Costco or Sam's club. Remember I have a source for you, used stuff, good prices.
Hanging the basket is just normal father SOP. But carrying the table as a backstop for that basket … we that is just love especially after hanging drywall most of the day. 👍
You can always start with a drywall supplier that supplies materials to these contractors. They know who the big guys are and the guys they get work done
I have a second garage/shop that needs to be insulated and some kind of wall board over that. I considered drywall but have decided to go with Orient Strand Board instead. Why? Once it's up there's no mudding, sanding, spraying or a need to even paint it. For me it's about getting it up with the least amount of work after words. Always like watching your build videos. Though it makes me think about what I need to get done around here. Hope the road opens up soon for good.
The other nice thing with OSB, you can hang stuff pretty much anywhere on it, for a shop, doing anything other than drywall makes far more sense...trouble is OSB isn't cheap anymore either thanks to the pandemic excuses BS.
I like watching videos like this, but being a guy that still has a lot of my father's tools, that still work, it really bothers me to see any tool left out in the rain :(
WOW that place looks so different with drywall so bright & clean BIGGER than I thought it was! Too bad you couldn't do a covert in front of your house that's scary to see how deep that road was destroyed it's the worst I've seen in all the time I've been watching. 🙏You can solve it before winter..it dries up fast

Looks great. Can’t understand the American fascination for “textured walls” though… save the effort and keep them smooth.
As an American I have never understood textured drywall either.
I have always wondered why so much Plywood in buildings in the USA when they tend to have so much extreme weather. Bricks and concrete will last a thousand years, Plywood lasts about ten minutes when ants and such like get to work on it.

Agree. If this area is to remain a shop, don't texture it...
I was so glad to see that scaffolding in the shop. You were scaring me to death on that ladder. Looking so good.
Don’t texture the walls, all dust and steel fillings will be stuck in the texture make it a smooth finish.
I agree. If you do not like the paint on sheeetrock look then do a smooth skim coat. You can roll it on and use a 30 inch or 40 inch skim coat knife. by the time you do the shop you will be pretty good at it.
Watching this drywall video was so therapeutic. Thanks.

Hey, just a suggestion, you should move your lights 2 feet over towards the wall, to maximize the lighting and reflection

I second this! The only thing texturing does is hide an amateur tape job.
Good Job Heath

awesome as always.thanks for sharing and taking us along.
Makes the work shop look much bugger!
It's very satisfying watching the drywall go up. Nice video!!
Weld a socket to the lift crank and use a impact to lift it up and down.
LOOKING GOOD INSIDE THE SHOP
Not having a people door by the rollup was making my OCD go nuts, thanks for making it make sense.
I just finished reading "Ride the Dark Trail " for the umpteenth time this week. Em Talon is one of my favorite characters.

That life looks just like the Marshalltown Lift I used when doing my garage.
I have been using harry's since you first recommended them, years ago.
Looking good RPR family. Except that mud hole of a road, that thing is harsh.
Love Louis L'Amour, spent 25 years collecting all 131 of his books...read them about every two years
That drywall at the bottom is going get a lot of holes in it...assuming this remains a working shop of course.
Hang in there!
boy, I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again you are one hard-working man👍
Looking great well done
How much did the scrap yard give you per pound for the old excavator?
If I remember it owes about $25,000

Please do a FULL VIDEO on the entire story of the Kobelco. It is difficult to piece together not knowing which videos have snippets.
Love instrumentals with steel guitar
Makes the shop look great. Will texture hold more dust and dirt Vs keeping it smooth and painted?
That's going to be fun doing all the mud work wish I was closer I would love to help.
your such a great Dad.
