Take some advice from someone that is currently dealing with drainage issues. Do something now before damage is done. It will be much easier and cheaper now. I agree with the few people saying to put in a drainage ditch from the front yard to the back behind the shop, the french drain you installed will not keep up with the amount of rain you get from hurricanes. I would talk to your neighbor and try to work with him splitting the cost and finding a solution that will work for the both of you.
I agree.. I believe there is debate whether those foundation rocks work at all (Might make it worse by allowing water to sit at the foundation).. my understanding is the ground needs to slope away from the foundation, but the slab was laid close to the ground. Bottom line you need a ditch to divert that river.
Personally I would have poured the slab 6-8 inches above grade. Would never have to worry about water pouring inside the shop with that much water coming through the yard it's going to get water inside at some point.
It looks like he was on the right track with his drainage system. Looks like he had used two systems at that at one time. Wise move too at that. The first is he did use the French Drain System as the first part. The purpose of a French drain is to direct surface run off water and groundwater away from the home’s foundation or affected area. These types of drains are ideal because they reduce the hydro-static pressure and remove excess moisture from the soil by collecting surface water and groundwater. French drains are normally installed below the affected area to ensure that the hydro-static pressure is reduced. French drains an easy channel for water to flow through because water travels freely through a pipe and empties away from the home. French drains can be installed to alleviate water from pooling in low-lying areas such as a ditch or basement. If water has collected at the surface, a shallow French drain can be installed. The second system I seen him use with the French Drain System is the Full Gutter System. Full gutter systems can direct storm water to storm water management areas, ponds or collection systems. This allows excess water to be removed from the affected areas. Gutters are ideal for collecting roof runoff and capturing rainwater to direct away from the home’s foundation. It is important to remember that excess water near the home’s foundation can cause erosion to the soils around the home or even cause them to heave or settle. A low cost solution involves installing downspout extensions to the gutters. This allows the water to be discharged in another area. Extensions are even available that are installed under ground allowing the water to be released as far as the curb (which looks like he set it to his French Drain System. I would recommend discharging the rainwater approximately 4 feet away from the structure to a well-drained area. Never discharge to an area such as a flower bed that is abutting the foundation as it may cause the water to pond in that area.
I would have done 3/4” plywood by the work areas for the walls instead of sheet rock. It’s so nice to be able to just hang something wherever on the walls and not worry about hitting studs
Most likely he is using the Sheetrock for fire resistance. Fire rated drywall or Sheetrock is treated and reinforced so that it will not crumble. Fire rated wall assemblies require fire rated drywall so that they hold up to a fire for some substantial period of time, for example, 1 hour (depending on the rating required), keeping the fire from burning through to the rest of the structure. It is a wise move for him to use this since he is planning to use the building as an auto repair shop and all.
@@canadude6401 Great question here. If you're looking to reboot the atmosphere in a living room or bedroom by covering the existing drywall with tongue-and-groove boards, the good news is that there are no codes prohibiting it. I would make sure to double check to see if there is an possible codes related to this in your area though. You can also simply use Drywall texture to cover up the Sheetrock and give it a nice look to help save money too. In fact, the fire-resistance of drywall balances the propensity of wood to burn and makes the room safer than wood alone. The job isn't quite as simple as tacking the boards to the wall, though. You may need more measurements and preparations than you think. Drywall is a cheap air barrier and will help kill outside noise (rain fall) and perhaps provide some fire protection. The only reason for applying drywall in my opinion would be if it was required by a building code. If it were a flat ceiling it would be justified if the insulation was to be the blown in type. Then all cracks and crevices calked and an application of vapor barrier primer. By the way, the vapor barrier is most important on the ceiling where you have forced convection(heat rises) Somewhere within the insulated space the dew point is reached so why let the vapor get through?
Looks good! As a suggestion, every 6 months or so, check the bolts, hardware and brackets on the roll up doors to make sure they’re still secure. I’ve seen a couple of those doors fail. One rattled lose and came straight down almost hitting a coworker and the other one, the bracket came loose on one side and the door smashed into the ground damaging the other bracket and part of the building. Luckily no one was hurt. Just a suggestion. Shop looks awesome!
it's wise to keep your slab well above the finished grade. It's minimum 6" code in some parts for very good reasons. This would have helped greatly with water issues. I have never seen someone make their slab flush with the ground before.
@@douganderson7002 What are you talking about? I said its good building practice to keep slabs well above grade. So if a "hurricane or flood" or whatever comes. It's better than being flush with the grade. I am very well educated in building science and like to help others with my experience and knowledge. Have a nice day.
When it comes to drywall and paint when I do the drywall I want to paint it as well because I I know what paint I like and I know when I paint it will look perfect with crisp lines and what not. But 45k for a shop that size isn't bad
Sweet shop and killer cost. Here in CA that would of cost triple not including permits. 6 environmental impact study’s making sure I’m not disturbing and endangered sow bug and 24 design reviews with 16 changes to makes sure I’m not impending my neighbors view of some scrub oaks 150 yards up the road. Rock on P. Luv the channel and the builds. Can’t wait to see the the new diesel in Mater and Stumpy getting some luv. 🤟
Me n dad built a garage fab shop, 96'x128'x28' looks like a airplane hanger, concrete 26" thick in the center, has 4 lifts, and various other large tools, you name it but this was back in 2001, and I think total cost of everything which we did 100% of the labor ourselves except for the stone chimneys on each side for burning coal to heat with, but total cost was 59k in southern West Virginia.... Dad's passed away now, and I'm glad I got to spend that time with him over a year building it!!! 💯💯💯💯💯 I'm getting ready to build my own garage now not as big as yours, or my dad's but 28' 40 is big enough for me 😁 You've done an awesome amazing job definitely be proud bro!!!!!
Thank you for making this video with the details on everything you need to know especially the cost it really helps people understand what's up. Great video, very informative. Great job very well done!!!!!
The few companies I have got a hold of to build my 30x50 in AZ want near 60k just for concrete steel and insulation and we don't have those weather issues to deal with. Your bigger building finished out with an eave for 45k seems like a solid deal.
Rick, what companies have you contacted that sell the kit, pour the cement, set up the building? I’m trying to find a single company to do all of that. Don’t like having to contact different contractors. Can you remember?
Looks great! Love the rollup garage doors too. I appreciate the breakdown of construction 🔨 costs, as my husband and I will be doing the same size barndominium soon.
@@ParoDoXzThe 21,000 for the red iron kit, did that include installation (buy the company)? Or were you responsible for hiring friends and contractors.
Are you satisfied that the water diversion efforts will get the job done? Have you seen similar rain like shown in this video? May I suggest you place a protective cap where the water exits so wildlife don't clog it up. I had a footer drain with my basement on a deep bed of stone realizing there could be a water issue. One day I saw a pencil like stream of water coming out the floor three feet in the air. That was not supposed to be and found the pipe exit filled with debris. Unbelievable that the water did not push it out because once I opened it up there was a gushing flow for quite some time. The cap has slits in it to let water out but nothing in. Very nice building.
Love the content and the color scheme glad to see how much progress you have gotten accomplished in this short amount of time especially with the projects you have going on
Very Nice Shop, I Can Imagine The Finished Product Is Going To Be A Perfect Setting To Work On Your Projects and Creating Content. I’m Glad To Be Along For The Ride!
You're vidys on your trucks, especially Mader, and your new shop are great. Your one of the best channels on the Tube and look forward to your next vidy. Especially Mader. 👍
It's a bit late for this, but you didn't install that drain properly. You need to put landscape fabric between your soil and the drainage rock. Otherwise, soil particles will start to migrate into the drainage rock and will eventually clog it. Landscape fabric will allow the water to pass through, but will prevent the soil from passing through.
Man, I just came across your channel. This will sound weird but I drive by this place on a daily basis. It is good to see somebody from my hometown succeeding in UA-cam! Keep it up man! Very informative video.
No buddies to help No local Big Red Concrete $190/yard here No home depot rental All crafts both expensive and hard to find help I’m quessing my price here in central Virginia to be about double what you paid. Happy for you. Very nice building. Would love to build one but simply unaffordable here.
Looks great. One question why not have made the finished grade of the concrete 6 in higher? You wouldn't have had to do the French drain.. no flooding...
Mines about to go up soon. Builder says around Thanksgiving it should be done. Glad to know if I wanted to finish it out what it will take. I do body work so I'll be able to do some projects in mine. Keep up the good work!
Don’t know when you made this video??? I priced a building six months ago at $26 bucks per foot, turn key. Talked to the guy yesterday, now it’s $48 dollars per foot. Absolutely devastating. I’m retiring soon and sorely wish I’d not f’ed around. Strange times. Your shop looks fantastic!
Just found your channel thru this video & subbed. We're up in Virginia and planning a similar size building. Thanks for the breakdown, really helpful! 🤙-Josh
Y'all did a great job. Created the S. Alabama fanisty factory . $45.000.00 isent that bad. Ied frame me up walls in the back for a dwelling. Ive though of this when i was in my 20's. Shop / house. I watch u n John's videos all of them. Y'all is so good ole boys.
Why didn’t you add exhaust fans? I understand you got bay doors. But if you’re going to be working with a welder along with painting etc. The bay doors will help circulate the air some but, if the the airflow is in the opposite direction you’re gonna have a lot of stagnant air.
can you do an update on your warehouse? and what we should look out for and prep. I've always wanted one and as a new business owner I'm going to really benefit from the space
Thank you for giving a cost even if it is your ish price. At least some of now know what to ask the bank for or even if it is feasible. The big thing for you is to really do something about that water because while yes the french drain is nice and will take care of some water that flooding will wreck a lot of stuff. You just need a good swell to channel the water away from the front of the shot and to the side. If you do concrete from the front of your house to the back shop that might divert it but you need plan for it to work with you and not against you.
friends who help you dig drainage trenches are the best kind of friends! if you have a minute can you report back on the drains and whether they are working as planned?
Wow- that is a truly epic shop! Material cost is similar on the west coast, but labor costs in California are drastically higher. Also- permitting alone would be $8k here (I was quoted $39k to build a 20x10 deck and $7k of that was permit- needless to say I built it myself for $3k)
I like how you’re doing your garage. Would you please send me the plans and everything how you’re doing your garage? Let me know if you need anything from me. Your doing an awesome garage. I live in Tennessee. Keep doing an awesome job. Thank you. George
If power outages are a 'thing' for you, wouldn't a backup generator have been a better decision than the $2000-2500. extra for the battery backup ceiling lights? This is a great project and I'm a little jealous.
Very very inspiring very educational and I am exactly in the same boat but two lots on an airport field and I have to pass certain codes because it's at an airport a small airport landing and I was calculating about that much maybe a little bit more I'm in California up north and this is what has my attention right now is to build a warehouse for my two big buses and my my Cessna airplane thank you so much for your video it helped tremendously to give me vision and ideas and very proud of your video thank you so much
My garage electrical, 2200*sq, I think it was $3,200 of just materials. Now that is probably about 5 50 amp plugs, too hard at main panel and two 100 amp sub panels and a service disconnect outside the garage, I also ran like 68 outlets, four garage door openers, and four different light circuits.
Wow, sorry for being tardy to the party fam!!! Nice shop and even nicer price!!! I'm in central Alabama, Elmore County to be exact, and love seeing my fellow Yellow Hammer Natives WINNING💪💪💪 ❤️
Is this for personal use or for commercial use? Looks great either way. The only thing I would have done different is put the slab a few inches higher than the ground in addition to the water drain. I think you have enough land to make a long driveway with a slight incline to drive into the garage.
Nice size shop. Would of been an idea to have the pad around 10 inches above ground grade. You will have problems with water drainage. Your drainage is rather small.
Exterior paint used inside may discolor over time. When you repaint, use an interior/exterior and you won't get the discoloring. Breakthrough is fantastic.
Wow what a coincidence. I'm looking for metal building pricing in a similar size that you're building, watch your video and hear you mention Slocomb Alabama. LoL right down the road. Thanks for the video answering a lot of the questions I had.
Your build looks great so far. Can you share what budget you'll need for fire safety systems like smoke, carbon monoxide detection and possibly suppression? Because in California those costs are insane and mandatory.
Shop is looking really good and yes i believe it will make your videos that much better ( by the way videos have been great to start with) your going to be as good as a regular production shop on tv. Also the value you added to your property is drastic. Keep it up...
I would put a ditch next to fence all the way past shop to keep water away I think it's gonna flood your shop bad don't think your small drainage system can handle that much water if maybe 6-8 hours and stop raining maybe but couple days I'm afraid your in trouble but I hope I'm wrong but keep ditch 3 feet wide by 2 foot deep lined with 1 foot of riff raff rocks in it in back up plan stay safe ,stay healthy , keep building trucks
that's so nice. once I buy more land I want a 35x40 auto shop with a vehicle lift. I just want to fix my own vehicles without sending them to a shop. also to help out friend and make a little money. I just want a slightly wider than normal bay door, and a bit of space to store equipment.
Alabama is also A pretty cheap state to live in idk about south Alabama but I know the county I’m from the average yearly salary is like 40k so costs of labor are pretty low we built our shop for around fifty thousand last year that’s because we didn’t have enough time to do a good chunk of the work our selves
Since the tree roots extending under the slab will be water deprived and the branches towards the foundation will suffer, why didn't you take the trees down?
I just want to buy one of these and convert it into this awesome two bedroom two bath open living space with concrete floors. Just simple. Perfect for people who are outdoorsy and live in the country. Also would be great for us weirdos that have five dogs.
I just bought a cold form steel for 30k and that didn't come with doors or installation. Price of steel has shot up since you purchased your building so you can feel mighty good about that!
I am very interested in seeing how that drainage system works. I have a feeling a true french drain system will work much better that that white pvc pipe with the holes in the bottom of it. You want to catch the surface AND sub-surface water.
Quick question about your building kit. I’m in the process of ordering a 40x50 as we speak. I’m on the gulf coast as well and wondering what your wind rating is on your building. I’ve seen anything from 110mph rating on the “budget kits” up to 140mph.
Great build so far! Looking forward to the final finished result too. Also maybe consider doing a "What I Would Do Different" video after a year of being fully moved in and working because there's always something, LOL.
what kind of price should i expect for concrete pours that include in ground lift spots? online prices are all over the place and i dont wanna get a crap job done. first thing im doing when i move so i can store 4 cars in a 2 car wide one and all my parts behind them. had 3 collectors cars sitting out side with covers for 3 years since city shut down my covered parking proposal.
Thats a really sweat shop and price wise i was actually surprised i would kill to have a building like that I’m stuck in a 19x25 garage but for me it serves its purpose! Also curious to know if the drain system has been working that rain the beginning is crazy man!
Where do you get your background music? Is it royalty free you found or did you make it your self? If you found it where did you get it at also did it cost money?

I've got an 1986 K5 Blazer that has been good to me.
This is helpful, thank you for this.
Thanks for all the info helps to get some kind of budget and ideas.👍🏻
can you do an update on your warehouse? and what we should look out for and prep. I've always wanted one and as a new business owner I'm going to really benefit from the space
Very good craftmanship and presentation
Thank you for giving a cost even if it is your ish price. At least some of now know what to ask the bank for or even if it is feasible. The big thing for you is to really do something about that water because while yes the french drain is nice and will take care of some water that flooding will wreck a lot of stuff. You just need a good swell to channel the water away from the front of the shot and to the side. If you do concrete from the front of your house to the back shop that might divert it but you need plan for it to work with you and not against you.
That's a pretty good price for what you got! I am going to keep them in mind for when I get mine in a month or two.
friends who help you dig drainage trenches are the best kind of friends! if you have a minute can you report back on the drains and whether they are working as planned?
Good stuff Caleb. Good breakdown
Thanks Hank!
Thanks man. Great video!! What gauge steel is the exterior?
Finishing up a 40x60x14 red iron building myself. It will be twice as much as yours by the time I am done.
Sounds like you're bragging...
@@timsgta No, more disappointed than anything.
Wow- that is a truly epic shop!
Material cost is similar on the west coast, but labor costs in California are drastically higher. Also- permitting alone would be $8k here (I was quoted $39k to build a 20x10 deck and $7k of that was permit- needless to say I built it myself for $3k)
Thanks Matt! & What the hell? That would cost like $1500 to build in Alabama lol
Thanks for helping me with my maths cba
I like how you’re doing your garage. Would you please send me the plans and everything how you’re doing your garage? Let me know if you need anything from me. Your doing an awesome garage. I live in Tennessee. Keep doing an awesome job. Thank you. George
Great video! Very helpful info
Great investment, gives you a lot more room for activity’s 💪
Thanks Sean!
Great Video Thanks for all the price breakdowns
If power outages are a 'thing' for you, wouldn't a backup generator have been a better decision than the $2000-2500. extra for the battery backup ceiling lights? This is a great project and I'm a little jealous.
Very very inspiring very educational and I am exactly in the same boat but two lots on an airport field and I have to pass certain codes because it's at an airport a small airport landing and I was calculating about that much maybe a little bit more I'm in California up north and this is what has my attention right now is to build a warehouse for my two big buses and my my Cessna airplane thank you so much for your video it helped tremendously to give me vision and ideas and very proud of your video thank you so much
My garage electrical, 2200*sq, I think it was $3,200 of just materials. Now that is probably about 5 50 amp plugs, too hard at main panel and two 100 amp sub panels and a service disconnect outside the garage, I also ran like 68 outlets, four garage door openers, and four different light circuits.
That shop is looking really good my man. I would definitely like to own that myself.
Great video with real-world costs. Thanks! I'm in the serious planning stages of doing this myself.
Thanks John! Good luck with yours!
Wow, sorry for being tardy to the party fam!!! Nice shop and even nicer price!!! I'm in central Alabama, Elmore County to be exact, and love seeing my fellow Yellow Hammer Natives WINNING💪💪💪 ❤️
Is this for personal use or for commercial use? Looks great either way. The only thing I would have done different is put the slab a few inches higher than the ground in addition to the water drain. I think you have enough land to make a long driveway with a slight incline to drive into the garage.
With the amount of rain you showed before the shop was built, it doesn't look like that French drain would be large enough.. How's it working?
Nice size shop. Would of been an idea to have the pad around 10 inches above ground grade. You will have problems with water drainage. Your drainage is rather small.
Great build! Enjoyed the tips and walkthrough. Contemplating the same project myself.
Man....no snow load in Alabama. Steel buildings here in Maine have to be much more substantial for 75pounds per square foot of roof load.
Exactly what I'm going to build. 2 of these
Exterior paint used inside may discolor over time. When you repaint, use an interior/exterior and you won't get the discoloring. Breakthrough is fantastic.
Wow what a coincidence. I'm looking for metal building pricing in a similar size that you're building, watch your video and hear you mention Slocomb Alabama. LoL right down the road. Thanks for the video answering a lot of the questions I had.
Looks awesome dude. I'm in Geneva with the large "barndominium" on 52. Great Ideas.
Hey from Geneva Alabama
Awesome! Cannot wait to see the finished product
Shop looks great y'all also have the best tomatoes around I always get slocumb tomatoes. I live about 1.5 hours just north east of ya in a small town.
Your build looks great so far. Can you share what budget you'll need for fire safety systems like smoke, carbon monoxide detection and possibly suppression? Because in California those costs are insane and mandatory.
Him living in lower Alabama and being in a residential area he probably won’t have to deal with all that red tape safety stuff
Lower Alabama you don’t have to deal with any of that.
Very nice shop. Congratulations, hard work does pay!
Thanks for the update looking good can't wait for the final one
Shop is looking really good and yes i believe it will make your videos that much better ( by the way videos have been great to start with) your going to be as good as a regular production shop on tv. Also the value you added to your property is drastic. Keep it up...
Thanks Roderick!
I would put a ditch next to fence all the way past shop to keep water away I think it's gonna flood your shop bad don't think your small drainage system can handle that much water if maybe 6-8 hours and stop raining maybe but couple days I'm afraid your in trouble but I hope I'm wrong but keep ditch 3 feet wide by 2 foot deep lined with 1 foot of riff raff rocks in it in back up plan stay safe ,stay healthy , keep building trucks
that's so nice. once I buy more land I want a 35x40 auto shop with a vehicle lift. I just want to fix my own vehicles without sending them to a shop. also to help out friend and make a little money. I just want a slightly wider than normal bay door, and a bit of space to store equipment.
Nice shop good work
At first I laughed cus the whole electricians and drywall guys beef online but that guy you went with who did both is a genuis
you've got good friends
We’re doing steel buildings for almost 20 years and never hear those prices. Something weird here.
I would like to be real...
As in to high or to low?
Too low
all you need is some willin' friends...and the skills to do some of the work yourself. paradox has those, it helps
Alabama is also A pretty cheap state to live in idk about south Alabama but I know the county I’m from the average yearly salary is like 40k so costs of labor are pretty low we built our shop for around fifty thousand last year that’s because we didn’t have enough time to do a good chunk of the work our selves
Great video! Well done, great breakdown..
Keep up the good work!
Are those doors leaky? Are you still happy with them or do you wish you had gone with sectional doors?
Since the tree roots extending under the slab will be water deprived and the branches towards the foundation will suffer, why didn't you take the trees down?
I just want to buy one of these and convert it into this awesome two bedroom two bath open living space with concrete floors. Just simple. Perfect for people who are outdoorsy and live in the country. Also would be great for us weirdos that have five dogs.
I just bought a cold form steel for 30k and that didn't come with doors or installation. Price of steel has shot up since you purchased your building so you can feel mighty good about that!
More than Great bro . I really love it
Sound quality is much better man! Shop turned out good 👍🏼
In the process of pricing building , what is the difference between a red iron building vs a prefab kit ?
I am very interested in seeing how that drainage system works. I have a feeling a true french drain system will work much better that that white pvc pipe with the holes in the bottom of it. You want to catch the surface AND sub-surface water.
Quick question about your building kit. I’m in the process of ordering a 40x50 as we speak. I’m on the gulf coast as well and wondering what your wind rating is on your building. I’ve seen anything from 110mph rating on the “budget kits” up to 140mph.
Dream shop. So awesome. Congrats and thanks for the cost breakdown.
Great build so far! Looking forward to the final finished result too.
Also maybe consider doing a "What I Would Do Different" video after a year of being fully moved in and working because there's always something, LOL.
what kind of price should i expect for concrete pours that include in ground lift spots? online prices are all over the place and i dont wanna get a crap job done. first thing im doing when i move so i can store 4 cars in a 2 car wide one and all my parts behind them. had 3 collectors cars sitting out side with covers for 3 years since city shut down my covered parking proposal.
Thats a really sweat shop and price wise i was actually surprised i would kill to have a building like that I’m stuck in a 19x25 garage but for me it serves its purpose!
Also curious to know if the drain system has been working that rain the beginning is crazy man!
That was a 4 day hurricane not a rain haha the drain has been working perfect! Thanks man!
@@ParoDoXz ah ok gotcha well that’s good then! Place is awesome just watched the last couple videos on this project!
Where do you get your background music? Is it royalty free you found or did you make it your self? If you found it where did you get it at also did it cost money?
