Black snakes do a great job keeping mice, rats, and Samuel L Jackson off the property. Thanks for your kind help finding my own blue sweetheart.
But why would you keep Samuel L. Jackson of your property? The man's awesome! :D
Is that a black joke or a snake joke... asking for a friend

When you get a bathroom in the shop again, put the Jim's throne sign up over the toilet
Holds temps. Holds toxins as well. Hope you vent well.

My opinion of you went up 1000% when you left that black snake alone. Now you can sleep at night knowing you'll never be overtaken by frogs or mice. They are very curious, if you hammer on something for a while, expect this big boy to crawl into your area to check it out. As you know, they are harmless and where you have a large black snake living, you will not have water moccasins. Thank you for being so smart.
Wait so they're friendly?
@@coastaku1954 curious doesn't mean friendly. It's still a wild animal. But it's not particularly territorial or aggressive, as evidenced by him filming it up close and it just kind of going on about its business, and they're non-venemous, so he doesn't have to worry about it killing him, unlike the brown recluse spiders might have done.
Certainly not for petting, but just leave it to its own business and you can have a mutually beneficial relationship - it gets shelter and food, and you get free mouse and frog extermination.
@@tituslafrombois1164 Basically it's a roommate that likes to keep it's distance but will clean up for you as long as you feed it
@@coastaku1954 Kinda. Except instead of having to procure the food yourself, it wanders in freely from outside.
@@tituslafrombois1164 Once they get that big they're basically only afraid of birds. Not much else eats them because they produce a horrible smell when threatened.
the issue with sealing up the holes in the shop is, there's no way for the toxic trabant smoke to escape.
That's true but he'll save money on subsequent spider fogging. Run the Trabi five minutes, boom, done.
you can always open a garage door
Captain Zoll this is true.
Just run a pipe from the tailpipe out a hole in the garage door.
Smoking is cool
Sometimes I wonder why I live where it can hit -30... and then I see the snakes, lizards, and spiders you have to deal with. I'll keep shoveling snow, thanks.
Ben Kennedy Sad thing is that it actually sometimes does hit -30 in parts of Missouri.
I'm just glad to have to deal with neither of those things (except for tiny ass spiders and moths), but then again, where I live you can't get a Workshop that nice and big to work in without a lot of money, making it a lot more logical to just use a driveway or a garage.
Meanwhile in Australia
Thankfully where I live brown recluse spiders are less common. AND I dont get yards of snow. Downside is it everything here is wet for 8 months and there's a very large volcano threatening to take out half the state
@@97I30T The record is -40. :)
please provide snake updates
Only you could make A/C interesting.
Technology Connections has done some good pieces on a/c and refrigeration
200th like
"There's five snakeskins behind me - you want to swim in a ball pit with that!? I don't think so!"
That cracked me up. Keep making videos, and I'll keep watching.
And no, I don't want your Smart Car.
If that snake isn't venomous, well, make it your pet and leave it there, it will help you out with the bugs lol
Finally someone is showing the metric system.
Finally an American.
And the only American showing the metric system!
@bAkewelle And, unfortunately, doing it wrong. It is true that 50°F is equal to 10°C when reading off of a thermometer. However, he said it gets more than 50°F warmer than the air temperature, and that's not the same thing, because 0°F is not equal to 0°C. In this instance, he should have said 27.8°C.

"Pretty well insulated"
Excuse me, good sir, but as a Fancy European (TM) I cannot and will not acknowledge your housing situation anything better than "glorified garden shed" level. Judging by the pinnacle of European technology - the Trabant - in your possession, you are a man of culture, appreciating high-end materials and advanced production technologies, and of course since a two-stroke is only one stroke away from a turbine, futuristic engine technology. Therefore I urge you to build your house to Fancy European Standards (TM), which include but are not limited to: Concrete, brick, heavy wooden beams, roof shingles, cellar, 230 V powerlines, and a sign that says "Socialism had its good sides, too".
As a fellow Fancy European (TM), I do concur.
*laughs in 20+ different languages*
The best side of socialism was seeing it's rear end when it finally sailed away.
I bet he'll do it if you send him the €€ required.
@@dzejrid Depends on which country one is from. For those from the Soviet Union and it's satellite states, that is true. But for those from Yugoslavia, that is not true, as the period that followed Socialism [well... it was Market-Socialism, but anyways] was a period of civil wars and uncontrolled capitalism in which a handful of people got rich by selling off the entire industry that was left from the time of Socialism. Not to mention the degradation of the education and healthcare systems, and all the debt those same people plunged the countries in. And then there is the rise of ultranationalist semi-fascist parties.
I want to say thanks. My mom was getting a new dishwasher and was deciding between 2 one was 55 DB and the other one was 51 cheaper one was a bit louder and I remembered that that was about what your fan was from the video so I looked it up and use it as comparison to show my mom what the sound level would be then I realized I have the same thing as you so I showed her on the different speeds pretty much how loud each dishwasher would be so thank you. Your frivolous purchase is saving us 100+ dollars
10C is 50F but a change in 50F is a change of 30C. Has to do with the fact that you don't have to change the 0 when you convert changes in temperature.
Ah yes those days when it's Surge degrees Celsius...
We need Jimmy The Salamander t-shirts!
I am nobody special and I approve of this message.
I would totally buy one. Probably.
I always say I will buy one and then never do. But I'm sure I will this time...probably not.
No. We need Jim's Throne tees
I have never bought merch ever off UA-cam, but i just binge watched all your vids and now i owe it to you, you are living the dream and working hard, keep up the great work!
Four years later, finally catching up on all your old videos.
Just came here to say that big metal roof is crying out for some solar panels to keep those heat pumps running freely.
I was helping get an old Ford Econoline running once, the doghouse had been removed so the van had a racoon living in it. My buddy wanted the 460 out of the van, so somehow I got to be the one to chase off the racoon, and wasps, and be greeted by a giant black snake crawling over the seat and across my shoulder as I sat messing with the engine. He or she was very curious about the racket in its den. Once the snake realized the van was no longer a quiet place to live, it migrated to a nearby Pinto, which I was fine with. I may or may not have made a very unmanly noise when said snake began coming over my shoulder and brushed against my neck...
Just repaint that tin roof. Tin roofs are getting expensive now a days.
i know this sounds crazy, but maybe use the pit as an advantage, can you not install steel plates/girders and use it as a drive on inspection pit, if you do have a car on the lift already.
The pit isn't deep enough, unfortunately. Check out his video about the new place, he shows how shallow the pit is.
@@elogy890
Are you kidding? Look at 11:05, the pit is deep enough to come up to nearly his chest. That's what, nearly 5' deep? Sure, you wouldn't be able to stand under a vehicle level with the concrete deck, but it'd give you a hell of a lot more room if using a creeper or just sitting under the vehicle. Way better than trying to squeeze under a tiny car sitting on the pavement. Heck, you could even make a small ramp on the deck before the pit and have the vehicle even higher up over the pit and have like metal walkways to the sides of the vehicle if you need the additional space underneath, the ceilings are high enough.
That'd be a dream setup for me, I hate having to crawl under my truck to do oil changes on hot/cold concrete and get intimate with whatever ants/bugs/spiders are crawling around on my driveway.
As a owner of one, I recommend getting an peugeot 405. They are quite pretty and cost nearly nothing. Also most of the spare parts appear to be located, somehow, in Canada or US. I found this out when I had to replace my right mirror.
Peugeot 405 MI16 ftw
Really I might be interested in one I almost bought one but I thought parts would be too hard to get because peugoet hasnt been here since the mid 90s
I'd like a 504..
Or, if wanting to go smaller: 106. Man I miss my 1991 106 1.4xsi It was a blast and a fun car to drive, shame it couldn't pass emissions.
I know you already know this, but saying it anyway... Cars is your hobby/passion, and the money spent making a good place to ply your trade will be so worth it in the long run. Glad to see you've made it a nice place to work.
I certainly enjoy the Shop Update videos. Looking forward to the next project involving shop upgrades.
You could turn the pit into a storage area, it might be cheaper than filling it in, able useful too
I got a. Tampon commercial? For this. I'm a man, a single man. And I live with my dad.
Maybe you have a small oil leak and you need a quick fix
I'm a single man and live with my mother who's 80 no tampons needed here.
@@stevejensen2751 too many informations. (Yes ik it's grammatically incorrect)
Why am I watching a car guy not talk about cars? Keep up the good work, for some reason I love these random videos!
Yey, fixed roof is best roof!
I enjoyed the vid, so thanks for that. *:-)*
Good on ya for letting the snake keep doing his thing! He won't hurt you and you won't hurt him :D
RTV and foam spray all the seams, and epoxy coat the floor for significantly easier clean-up. Insulated garage doors and a good front door will cut down on the electric bill for the mini-splits and keep it nice and cool in the summer, and warm in the winter.
Find a local recycling center. You can get IBC totes that are great for rain collection. They hold 250 gallon or 1000 L.

Contrast!
Thanks for the celsius conversion.
Shop is looking better than ever! Always love your videos, looking forward to the next one!
Don't fill in that pit! You just need to build some of those runners that you can pull a car onto. Then you can easily work under the cars, or just park them there.
Congratulations on your progress with the shop !
Three thousand for the smart car sounds like a great deal , I wish I had it because I would so buy it . I fell in love with them the first time I layed eyes on one those and the original Mini Cooper . Keep up the great work !
You really nerded out on the AC units.
Turn it into a snake pit and sell tickets
For real tho. At my ranch house. We had the exact same problem... we even had ceiling fans. But during the day it would always roast. So me and my dad hooked up a water pump to pvc tubing that pumped water up to 4 sprinkler setups so we could simulate it "raining" on the roof. (It really did a perf job at cooling off the whole house) We still dont have ac. But thats in florida... so we dont have to worry about freezing pipes and winter.
Great vid !
Cool shit man with the snake. Casual af. Mostly the same thinking of the snake.
Love the extra features also congratulations on the newer shop looking good
Congratulations! Happy for you on all your shop upgrades. Thanks for sharing.
This video popped up in me feed today. I've seen it before, but wow... has it really been 5 years already?!
oh for your outside pump/condenser thingy, build a shade over it, it will reduce the heat that the ex changer has to get rid of or cool..
Aging Air conditioners 😂😂👌🏼 your vids are so hilarious and I love how you put so much effort into them.
Dude I don't know who is complaining, I like the shop videos just as much.
Dear Robert! Can we have a little update on the state of these minisplits in the next video? I'm thinking about these units to install in my house and I'm just courious how did these perform since you installed them. 🤗
I have a metal roof on my house and I hooked my gutters on it up to my cistern and I can collect huge amounts of water. You won’t be disappointed with a rainwater collection system.
You sound like you have building envelope experience. Using all the correct terminology for sure.
I enjoyed this. It's important to make your work areas comfortable to use or you'll avoid them. Like the 2 project cars I don't look at because working on them is a pain in the ass.
You said Dyson Sphere. Love it.
Truly friend, thank you fit what you do!
Only recently discovered your channel and greatly enjoying your videos!!
Awesome! Glad to see your shop is coming together.
I love the shop update and enjoy your humor
I have worked in a shop with no air conditioning, it is hell in the summer. Great upgrades!
Truly the most entertaining channel on UA-cam. Great work my friend, looking forward to many more videos in the future.
Thank you for leaving the snake alone
In Asia most have split units in their homes. I think they work better than central air/heat. May get a ac unit for my garage. They cool down really fast!
I really enjoyed your transitions and edits....and content! That was a very well put together video.
Its nice to see a new upload on this channel. :)
Awesome job! The shop is looking great!
If you pay me $3000 I'll take the Smart car off your hands :)
You are so cool! And I love your sense of humor
Thanks for the celcius conversions! It helps my Australian brain understand what is being communicated. :)
Jim is the snake, and he wants his tropical heat, throne, and glass panes back.
Fantastic video brother I absolutely love your editing keep up the great work
It's good to keep the snake,he's big because he's eating well,eating well means no mise and other pest
Fix your Trabant! I love it!
That Trabant is actually adorable. :)
The sound of them- it’s great isn’t it! I think autobahn by kraftwerk includes the unique sound of trabants. Wonder how many convert to electric now...
OMG. You got me @2:40! "Watering flowers with my shirt squeezings." Ewwww! Well done!
Pioneer is kicking themselves after this video knowing he was going to buy regardless.
I am liking the Pioneer system, I might look them up. thanks.
Love the videos! Keep up the good work! Maybe find an old muscle car to work on sometime. Good luck!
Nice. I'm a Refrigeration Mechanic and I approve this message.
this unit is not for dust place .it is for home use , you may have clean the filter every month , even every week
You could make a video of watching grass grow seem interesting...………. lol
Great humor i subbed!shop vids are awesome want to see the progress.
Thanks for adding Celsius
The shop is finally starting to be beautiful,kinda.anyway nice video i enyoied watching
Thanks for the celsius conversions
Thank you for making videos!
I continue to be jealous of your shop(s). I lived on a farm for 11 years, and had an 1800 sqft insulated and plumbed shop with high ceilings You could park two fully-loaded hay wagons in there. Which I did, more than once. It was heated with a custom wood stove that was quite efficient--and it could burn 4ft-long logs without having to cut them. Then the (now EX) wife said "I don't want to live here anymore". So, we didn't :( :( :( I, like you, had a "day job" in high tech, but the farm, and puttering in the shop gave me some much-needed peace and relaxation. Sigh.
"Watering flowers with my shirt squeezings," you bastard I'm trying to eat my lunch and now my keyboard is covered in chewed up Fritos.
I wish I knew this pioneer mobile split was available (on the DIY side) before I purchased a $3,000 self contained unit.
I lost it on "Surge °C". Keep it up!
I know im over commenting..... but this channel is fucking gold dude im dying
hey robert if youre fairly close to the stl area i drive for a local dump truck company and could bring what ever rock ya want to fill the hole at cost of fuel and like any project materials which in your case the rock
I recently learned about your channel and I love it! Been going back and checking everything out. Also, it was really cool of young George Lucas to help you installate those AC units! ;-D
1:30 Reminds me a LOT of how Skylabs Heatshield was repaired.
Aging air conditioners sounds amazing
Make sure to look up the laws where you live, in some states, collecting rain water for use other than watering plants is illegal
A rainwater collection video would be awesome!
Because of you i want a Trabant... thanks for that !
For a second I thought you helped yourself lifting the AC.
Surge °C. Thanks for spelling it out in Celsius!
I get a butt pucker every time I see a snake...but I have never seen a snake I haven't had to pick up. I am very low key and it is great to be scared or un nerved by something like a big long black snake..
Partition your shop with tarps hanging from the rafters to cool only the areas you want.
FYI, a difference of 50F is a difference of 27C, not 10C. If you're talking about differences, the "minus 32" in the conversion cancels out.
Keep the videos coming love the content
Afraid of tiny spiders but not caring about a giant snake. That's the spirit 😂
In Germany the insolation and the roof would have cost you about $40k- of course the result would be much better- that roof would not qualify for a dog house here- but you certainly improved it by a lot with not that much money so I would say you did a reasonable job on the roof that will buy you some time-
Great video. I'd totally buy the Smart car. I need a small car, but I don't have $3k laying around...yet.
Keep it up! Love the content!
because i always expect a dysonsphere reference in my mechanicing vids
I think it would be interesting if you got a 2CV sahara (if that's even possible to get for a reasonable amount of money), once you recoup the money you spent on the shop and get rid of the Smart car.
Looked at the prices, nope, you cannot get that thing for a reasonable price, but a Renault 4CV is my second recommendation.
