I like that you Kyle discuss with Greg what you are doing and bounce ideas off each other. Can do what you like in youre headquarters now done the 300 foot build. Get wife something nice after that comment😁😄 thanks for the video.
Hi Kyle, great to see more Progress on RR HQ 2.0. you should consider hading some space available in th mechanical room for a air compressor for the shop. will help keep the noise down.
Door is a must, i would do a multiple pane window door, lights up and down staircase, and you always have space to add shower stall down the road with that much space in bathroom area
Man you should have put a shower in there. Come back from work put machines/tools away and take a shower. Walk back fresh to house. Also if you get in the dog house you have a place to live until she cools off.
was watching this with my 10 year old grand son and he said ( I hope they get that lift out of there before they build the wall around it) lol I told him no thats how they will get to the 2nd floor lol
As you plan the mechanicals, consider using an air-to-water heat pump, for heating, hot water, and cooling (with separate hydronic air handlers). This is the ultimate for energy efficiency, consistent with your growing interest in building science.
One more thing.... that room upstairs would be perfect for a theater. Ultra short throw projector with 120-inch retracting screen. All that rock wool and air sealing means that sub-woofer could be cranked to 11. Lol
Kyle, it's a missed opportunity to not put in a shower while it's an open, blank slate. I think it would add so much extra value to your building for very little cost. Imagine getting all dirty working on something, then being able to clean up at your headquarters and not track a mess into your home!
I believe he talked about this in the beginning, with the way building code is structured in the zone his property is on, he had a lot of rules of things he couldn't build, including building height restriction and the inability to build a shower.
Wow, If that's true, you're incredibly sharp for remembering all that. If he can't put a shower in by code, then of course - but if he can, then he definitely should.
@Hopalong..75 i use to live in the quad city area, now in iowa. Build a shower, don't "hook" it up. If the illinois governor can do that with toilets so it doesn't count, why can't normal citizens?
I highly recommend you put a urinal in your tiny bathroom. Check out Neil Koch of Dig Drive DIY. He talks about how happy he included a urinal in his shop bathroom (he lives in Indiana). A shower would be a good idea too.
Gotta agree on the shower.... I get that your house is right behind you, but on the occasional need for it (really dirty and not tracking into home), it would be useful. Also, if there were some kind of chemical accident diesel/paint thinner/acetone/ etc spilled on you, it's right there. Needed, no, but nice to have. I've never needed to use the showers in my classroom (science), but I am glad they are there, just in case.
Your lift really fit into the stair area. So I was wondering if it would be better to put some type of doorway in the loft wall; for lifting heavy/bulky items onto the loft area.
When you install the tapcons do you have the floor heat tubes located so you don’t drill into them or are the tapcons short enough where that will not be an issue? 🤔
My memory is a little fuzzy but I believe he made sure the tubes were plenty deep enough that tap cons wouldn't hit. He regularly tap cons walls to concrete so I'm sure the needs and details of that were one of his priorities in the design.
@@95dodgev10 as a flooring installer i have had contractors tell me it was OK to drive 5/8" concrete nails (and 1/4" of that is the wood strip) into radiant heat floors, several times i have put holes in their tubes.... and they always thought i should pay for it even after they told me to go ahead. i have even hit a water main in the middle of a house basement that was just under the surface. i learned to never trust anyone and always add a day to radiant heat floor jobs so i can glue the tackstrip down.
I can appreciate your videos that actually show building stuff, where Perkins videos show more talking about anything other than building and free stuff they get. A least you haven’t lost what showing how to build.
Are you considering a heat pump water heater for your radiant? Even in your cold winters you should be able to do really well with one. A ground-source heat pump would be even better!
Should have put a taller (8') door at the bottom of the stairs. You had the room, and it makes it so much easier to move large items up the stairs. It's not too late.
It could be so rude if you install a system like the Bosch Compress 7000i something primary heating source. and then it could have been fun if up in your man cave you had installed a floor from NOVOPAN Spaandex Floor chipboard or similar. and I still believe that there should have been insulation between the workshop and the man cave with a foot of insulation. But all this It's just dreams. I read an article somewhere that energy had increased less in Denmark and due to inflation than other European countries because in the 70s they started making demands for the insulation of houses and buildings..
Should have added a shower to the bathroom…. Also, I would make space for your gaming gear because when the wife (boss) watches this you will need it…. 😂😂👍
Love it. Kyle, please remind us what the heights are ending up in the mezzanine area? Bottom floor to underside of joist? Then was it 16” joists then you had another 6.5’ headroom by the walls? So how high did you make those exterior walls?
I assume you will be doing a dropped ceiling in the restroom to accommodate the branch circuits from your breaker box since it is below the landing of your mezzanine. As to who makes the call for the location of your gaming system? As a certain late night TV host often ends such statements, "... a sexist would say". ;) Seriously, though, a great build with great commentary so others can also have great builds.
if they are using the house well pump, I would run 2 water lines, fresh water for hose bib and softend water for toilet and sinks. I would put the door at the top of the stairs
Great video, as always. Quick question. With the bathroom and mechanical doors so close together, why didn't you go with a pocket door into the mechanical room? Was it a security issue, wanting to lock up the mechanical room?
I know this man playing apex, but seriously if you are going to have internet out there I recommend the unifi system. You can use a bridge from your house to beam connection to your shop and then put a mesh system up. Also recommend a media server, you can build a server box to store games (computer) that when you connect another system you can point it to that server then play games. You can also run a nice debrid script to have it give you “unlimited” storage for movies and shows also your isp cants see what you download ;)
Maybe I'm lazy or just a noob, but I would have used a double top plate attaching the top plate to the ceiling, building the wall, then standing it up and sliding it in into place. Wall could have been lifted between the I joists and moved into place. Plastic shims on the floor would take care of the minor variation on the floor. I also would have cut the side of the bottom plate and slid it in. They need stud shoes anyway, don't they? Of course, I'm no pro, and maybe my ideas aren't really ideal.....
If it was my shop, I would have the bathroom door open OUTWARDS, because I know what a pain it is trying to move around inside a small room with an inward-opening door. And you are not exactly short of space on the outside. Just my penny's worth. Edit: I take that back. You have plenty of room in there! 😊
he didnt realize he was building his own dog house to sleep in his gaming apparatus will be in there the next video, right next to his cot and sleeping bag
Any reason why the door needs to be at the bottom of the stairs and not at the top? You would air condition a space that does't really need it, e.g. the staircase Also, with the mechanical room below the stairs, you would get radiant heat through the stairs into your air conditioned space. Anyway, that's how I see it, I may be wrong :D
With a bit steeper stairs, you could have the bottom landing+door under the beam. What's the reason you didn't want to do that? We are used to steep stairs and this one almost looks too shallow.🤷♂️😂
I enjoyed watching this, and I feel a bit guilty..... Who else was silently (tragic comedy style) hoping that they forget about the scissor lift and accidentally frame it into the stair area? I don't want that, but I would have laughed a lot. 10 seconds later it showed the lift out of the way.
I wasn’t sure what video to comment on but if your looking for good decent and bright lights for your shop another UA-cam fella just built his workshop and used Braun 10,000 ceiling lights
So, the gaming system will be moved to the HQ, got it. 😁
Yup !,, you got it.. :)
Getting exciting. Love all the explanations of every process you give. Have a blessed weekend guys!

Been watching you from the beginning, all I can say is you have the best videos and have an excellent way of getting it across to your viewers. 👍👍
Let those who have never made a mistake throw the first stone. Great work guys
Provided they have actually done something!

Because it always happens..
He can't, his permit restricted it because the building can never be used as a residence.
@@johnmarquardt1991But he still could put in a shower
Was goona comment the exact same thing. Maybe even room for a stacked washer/dryer
@@jamesadams893 He explained the reason why in one of the first episodes on this build.
Saturday morning RR video starts my day off just fine
was watching this with my 10 year old grand son and he said ( I hope they get that lift out of there before they build the wall around it) lol I told him no thats how they will get to the 2nd floor lol
Kyle, I hope everything went well at home after the "gaming system" comment!😂😂😂
What’s that song, “I can do what I want when my wife tells me too.” Lol!

I believe that he lives in Illinois, so you know they have a bunch of stupid rules. I am from IL originaly and I moved to Indiana.
@@tariqbojic7632 I think he also said he might put one in and if he does we won't see it

Nice shop! And built solid.
You guys do nice work! I enjoy this channel.
Dude big mechanical room just makes good sense.
@26:05 Future network closet great use of that space. Then you can have you gaming out of your shop area :)
A life size 3D printed bust if Greg smiling would go perfect on top of the ledge!!!
30:08 Famous last words... ❤🩹
That's going to come back over and over.

Looks good guys. Time to bring back the Metabo miter saw 👍
Like the idea of Greg as a trophy above the stairwell
With such a big building I would have added a couple feet on the mechanical room. You're bound to put more equipment of some kind in there someday.
Good to see the crew back @ RRHQ. Add a shower brother … that’s a no brainer.
Saturday morning cartoons, good stuff.
🤘😎
Kyle great work love all your videos
Really looking forward to the plumbing, in floor heating system install. I sure would have put a shower in the bathroom bud!
I have a good feeling that your gaming system is gonna be above the shop! The wives never lose hahahaha
QUALITY SELLS ITSELF
ALL DAY LONG!!!
☮️💜🇺🇸
THANK YOU. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
It's possible to have 2 landings in the stairs case, an elongated first landing to provide more headroom in you mechanical room. Just a thought.
Add a shower to that bathroom and I'd live happily in that workshop with my old car collection.
So will your significant other 😅
Good luck with everything

You’re the man of the house when she’s not home!!
Yeah I had to laugh a little when he through in that disclaimer edit. Man of the house - how serious was he ???
Need some Electrical videos! Curious to see lighting/outlets in RRHQ!!
23:00. vaccuum sounds like a tie fighter and the foam glue sounds like some other star wars sound effect. .
Kyle, please consider re-doing your door openings for 8 foot tall doors. This is especially important for the stairway up to the mezzanine.
Putting those stairs in is gonna be tight and tough.

Men in the house. :). I heard that so many times...
A window in the stairway wall into the shop may be nice
Give me a 3D scan of Greg and I'll 3D print a life-sized version for you :)
I can appreciate your videos that actually show building stuff, where Perkins videos show more talking about anything other than building and free stuff they get. A least you haven’t lost what showing how to build.
One thing I notice is the quality and accuracy of the build that Kyle does over Perkin build

Do your thang guys. Its your gig. Ignore the rest.
like others have said, I’d be adding a shower stall too.
Shower in the bathroom sounds cool but a urinal would be even cooler!

This channel was great while it lasted. 😅
Put extensions on you mechanical risers with posibly shutoffs then you can put up the stairs
Should have added a shower to the bathroom…. Also, I would make space for your gaming gear because when the wife (boss) watches this you will need it…. 😂😂👍
A pocket door for the bathroom would work as well.
Weird condition!! That is hitting the nail on the head! 🤣

😍😍 WOOD WORKING
You could make that mezzanine an enclosed air compressor room.

Good morning. Happy Saturday. #6 in the "Like" this video.
if they are using the house well pump, I would run 2 water lines, fresh water for hose bib and softend water for toilet and sinks.
I would put the door at the top of the stairs
If it's even needed, it would be cheaper and easier to add a softener in the shop.
@@greb3212 i personally would hate maintaining even one of them
Let's see the motorhome!
Great video, as always. Quick question. With the bathroom and mechanical doors so close together, why didn't you go with a pocket door into the mechanical room? Was it a security issue, wanting to lock up the mechanical room?
those are the best utility knives
I would love to have a shop / barndominium like that instead of a traditional house.

Man of the house ... Uhhh
Good for you Kyle!!!😅👍😅
Great vid!!!
he didnt realize he was building his own dog house to sleep in
his gaming apparatus will be in there the next video, right next to his cot and sleeping bag
I was just at a BUMPIN’ tiny shop bathroom party just last night 😂
With a glory hole in it🤣🤣😉
Nah, your mom was there so no need for that 😊

If you are worried about putting a screw thru a tube in the floor, would it be ok to glue the bottom of the wall to the floor? Asking for a friend.
Do you have a UA-cam link for your friend Eric or did I miss it
Would it not have been better if your stairs landed into the building as opposed to on the side like they do?
Onward!
I'm assuming you finished the upstairs already so you could move your game system over.
I’m probably late but what bags is Greg wearing??

Upstairs storage or whatever it ends up being 😂 maybe a man cave
Any update on Greg’s Venmo? How much did he get?
Missed opportunity at 15:08 to play construction Jump board haha
I would do a shower as well. Save a lot of potential arguments because you either drug mud into the house our got gunk on the hand towels.
He’s the man of the house- he do what he wants

CONTEST CONTEST CONTEST!!!!!!!! Design Kyle's mancave....
RIP gamer Kyle
Let us know if your wife agrees to your comment, about being ur decision. 😂
What ended up happening with the insulation in the ceiling?
+1 for shower in bathroom.
Is there any reason why post frame construction isn’t done in Texas?
No one there can spell the construction part😅😅
Kyle its to late now but next time just lay some lumber on the ground to figure out and get a visual on the room you want to build
