    Probably the best Ryan’s ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxGZedDTcDfgD7fG_uU4esfx_EgxzlY2_1 Plans on building a shed is hardly ever found. And Ryan takes the mystery out of different types of foundation options, etc. He even shows how to build a shed with different designs. Very comprehensive, covering different roofing materials, siding, etc.

    So good to see a new project, by my favourite UA-cam builder brothers, and the A-Team. I helped a builder friend dig footings in an addition to a 200 year old house in Maidenhead, UK. The footings had to be 3 feet deep and 2 feet across, easy so I thought. The length was 36 feet and the ground was wet as it was raining on and off. The top 6 inches was just normal dirt, but then it was thick clay, which stuck to the shovels making it very tiring. We got there in the end, but arms, legs and back took a hammering. Looking forward to part 2, thanks for posting.

    I like the way you guys get to decide the position of the house before you build it. Here in the UK the planning people pretty much dictate the position of the house long before building even starts. Build it half a foot of what planning says and they could make you knock it down and start again.

    a bunch of years ago I was a duplex owner (and resident for awhile ). If I were involved in building one now, I would build a utility space between the two units to allow access to the water heaters, HVAC, and breaker panels for both units without having to enter the living space of either. It would not have to be huge, maybe three feet wide. This would also work as a sound barrier so that the landlord does not get numerous calls from one tenant complaining about the other tenant making too much noise. Yes, it might drive up the initial cost a bit, but it would make maintenance so much smoother over the life of the duplex for everyone.

      ​@@chrisbarr1359 In my opinion, teaching is the most important profession there is - done right it helps to set everyone up with the correct morals, tolerance, social skills and knowledge to become functioning adults and work together to advance humanity. 100k for 10yrs experience for the most important profession still doesn't sound enough to me given other industries would offer more.

    Dang that’s so cool the relationship they have with all there subs like the delivery guy and especially the smothered burrito man (porta john) lol here in New Mexico we call them the smothered burrito man. I might of just ruined smothered burritos for everyone that reads this comment. I do the same thing with my burrito man. They have these new porta johns that i helped them build on small atv trailers. They’re air conditioned and have running water as well as a male cord connection for the AC, lighting, and on demand water heater. You just hook up a water hose to it, an electrical cord (minimum 8 gauge cord) fill her with water and your good to go. It has an RV style toilet and sink so when you flush it it opens to the waste tanks and closes up so the porta john does not smell one bit even when its been filled. My only issue with them is i couldn’t figure out how to install a small urinal to it but they do have plans to add them in the future. Usually they’re used for outdoor events like wedding, birthday parties or any other kind of event that needs a nice porta john. They have two dedicated for my job sites but they can use them for other events my guys take good care of them. I really need to a stop writing these long comments lol I’m just not good at summarizing.great work fellas.
