Hello everybody, Good day to you! Welcome back! Glad you're here! So I'm in my backyard. Yep at the con Xbox and I'm trying to load more equipment. Uh I had to drag this thing up onto the trailer. No. I didn't do it by myself. Uh I have a healthy Helper but he's camera shy. he's hanging out in the back. I'm not gonna tell you who it is, he's grinning at me right now. Uh, anyway, we we manhandled this thing up. Canceled right there you said the man word. We manhandled this thing into the trailer. Uh, we're gonna strap it down. hopefully it stays and doesn't follow through my newest floor and uh, we're gonna hit the road, drive this thing across town and then unload it. so stay tuned. This is going to be a very good video. You strap clicks. Oh there we go. So far so good. you chicken poop. There we go. You hear that? yeah baby are you doing? Are you getting the Seaweed off? Yeah. All right. get it out of there yellow seaweed out. Thank you. It's from the pond. Is it stuck? We'll get it all out. Uh, that'll work. I think for now ish. Maybe we're gonna find out it's either gonna fall over or it's not right? Yeah, okay. we got extra straps on so there's there's four primaries. those are the red ones. Then we've got a backup which loops around to that side and then another back up which loops around to that side. And then I have this one. So just in case I Gotta hit the brakes a lot. that one's there too. So I think it's going to stay I guess we're gonna find out. Let's Roll Woohoo there are stockings the engine I gave you guys mileage last night so you're not getting it again today. Deal with it. you're gonna work. Yeah, it's gonna stay. for now, let's get out of here. Okay, we're off exiting the driving way. Who's that? What are you doing here I don't know you Oh I like his trailer I need one of those and his little um, we're back I Feel like I just left but now I'm back again. You know I'm thinking uh, I'm thinking right here would be a good spot for that compressor because it's outside. It might mitigate Some Noise a little bit. You know somebody said that they can see the ridge is on your key and then top of your key to a video because there's only like certain like x amount of ways to make the key work or whatever and I'm going these. Uh, that's insane. That's intense. but I guess there's a special set of skills for everyone. Hello over here. Lumens powering on. Yeah, hey, it's just the way I left it. It's good. Okay, so here's I'm thinking in order to get that out without having to manhandle it is I'm gonna pull the truck up over here and then I can use this forklift, pick it up, drive it over here, drop it off in that corner. That's the plan. so let's see if this is gonna work. Restarting Z engine. Let's go ahead and pull up and get out of the middle of the driveway. Here is either going to work or it's not. so let's find out right about. Let's see. here's probably good sweet parking is the auto. All right. Forklift time. We need this. restarting the engine. Here we go. Moving on out. Three. All right? Okay, that one does that. That one does that. Okay I know how this works right? Loud noises? Let's get out of here. fight. Freeze Wow. You guys haven't seen me drive a forklift since I Worked at the dealership. it's been a while. I'm like four kids. They make things easier to do. Yeah, now we're cooking. Move it up. I'm not gonna pick it up with the boom. We're gonna get in real close and just tie it around there. We go right up in there all right time to strap it in. Parking Brake Powering down. Hmm. okay. we've got two straps on this side and then the chain wrapped around that side over the hook. so we're just gonna give this a straight up. We're gonna back up Let it down so it's more safer and then we'll spin it around, pull it forward to its new parking space. That's the plan. Stopping is the engine all right. It's got a bit of a lean chains tied over here. It's good. That's good. That's good. Okay, you're doing it wrong. Let's go for Glory Moving on up. This is way easier to move with Machinery Coming down. Foreign clear the roof. so oh that's so close up top. make it only got another inch or so of down. Yeah, a little bit more down just to make sure. Well that's the other way. we went down. not up there we go. I Think we're gonna make it some gas. We made it moving back up. Clear the guide wires, clear the crane. We're not going to clear the crane I Don't think freaking say right about here. Parking the forklift, parking brake. What do you think? Yeah, yeah, it's good. All right. Levers work without me sitting in it? Yes they do. I Love deleted safety features and heavy machinery. There we go stay. Woohoo got it! JK uh car jack to help you push it Forward um or just to get it in in its Corner um now I'll just rock it in, it'll slide I think I hope I guess we'll find out because I don't want to I'm not gonna lift it again. Foreign 's smashed in. This thing fell over once it fell over on the tool truck. it was not. Uh, he didn't have it strapped down very well and the dude was driving and then it fell over. Save me 500 bucks but this back got bent and that got bent. but still we dropped it. Not everybody can haul my heavy loads I don't know. All right let's go park this thing back where it goes. Mm-hmm yeah he had a keep going. Oh no no. go in. go in right right there. thank you sir and parking brakes. It's sweet foreign. all done with you for now. Uh I think that looks pretty good there. I Like that spot. What do you guys think? you know the drill? Let me know down the comment section below. Okay everybody I am packing up this show. We're getting out of here. it's it's getting late in the day. not really. but okay, it's not early I need to go do the voting thing. Today's voting day it is Election 30 and I'm not going to miss that. So I'm going to close up and vacate the premises. We've got the compressor I Think this is where it's going to live. Um I have to wire it still I haven't done that yet, but it's going to go through the wall, up and over to the panel that's on the wall over here. We did a lot of work with these lights I Know you can't tell right now, but it's It's getting there slowly, but surely everything that you see is now on a switch instead of plugs. With the exception of these lights over here, this area is as organized that I can get it. I put some lights underneath of the metal support right here I'll do another string under there that way that's all lit up and then I'll put some eight Footers in upstairs under ceiling later on, but that's for another day. So uh, this is, uh, functioning as much as I'm going to get to function for right now. Uh, where's my? those are all on a power circuit or a power strip? still? I Know power strips are everywhere, but it'll work for the time being. Six fan power down I think I needed to show you guys, uh, some other goodies. Yeah I did talk about this in uh, yesterday's video. Hang on. let's get this out. loud. Noises: Tie rods. Remember the tie rods not tie rods. Uh. Pitman arm Idler Arm: There we go I Can't get those words out properly. I'm terrible that is. That's the upgraded HD idler arm bracket that's going on. also a PPE or a PSC part I can't read it. Stamping's weird. Let's just say PPE yeah that's PPE Okay, I don't know them but they do make heavy duty stuff. That's the big idler. This one bolts onto that one and that bolts to the center link and then this one. that's the Pitman Yeah, let's make sure this fits. Come here good morning! I Don't need the warning anymore. So violent. A little bit of finesse goes a long way sometimes. Smarter, not harder there. Just gonna make sure that this lines up appropriately before I take it all apart later on and it does. Hooray! Makes me happy I Like it quick. So yeah, we're we're nearly at a state of potential operative. What's the word? I can almost operate. We're getting there. there we go. More than one word. That's how I'll do it. So I can nearly operate effectively in this building and that's good because I have a customer arriving tomorrow morning and I hope I got everything that I need to to service said vehicle except for more lights I'm gonna need more lights. Oh wait, hang on, hang on I forgot the under glows are back on again. Yeah fancy. but I got this weird shadow cast thing going on right here. so I need lights up there to make that go away because I can't see what's inside of my drawers powering down and even the bag says we're done no more. All right guys. I'm gonna listen to the bag in the glove and we're calling this one quits. Finalized light powering down and oh, this is the cool part I Got a lot of these on switches now. Yes! So uh. That being said, as always, thank you for watching this video. Hope you enjoyed this video. If you did enjoy this video, you know the drill. let me know about that. Bye tap that like button down below and if you do not enjoy this video, go watch something else again. And as always thank you for watching. And most importantly and don't forget to have yourselves a great day! See you guys later. Almost forgot goodbye office Oh I didn't show you guys did I put the carpet in? Yeah well I I unrolled it carpets in that's up I Showed you this last night. What am I thinking? See you guys later in the transmission Run away Garage door Whoa Slow down door click.
To break in you just need to drill out the lock cylinder . Takes 30 seconds. Don't worry about someone seeing your key. A cheap alarm system would add a lot insurance for your expensive tools.
Good way to get that compressor stolen.
That is one v loud compressor
Have you locked things down yet with another hurricane coming? Or is the hurricane not so bad and you don't need to worry about it?
You might want to turn that compressor so you can service the belt. You probably have already thought of that. Just an observation from Spokane WA.
Ray work smarter, should have used the tail gate for a headache rack (or wall) then it wouldn't fall over when you tie down.
Good luck Ray keep um coming!!
Please post a video of your first repair when the shop opens. Would be great to look back
You may not get your truck in with the compressor outside the door? Maybe on the high bit inside the door on the right
the ability to use photoshop and a 3d printer is enough to copy a key.
How can you have THAT many straps and NOT say it? You’re a dad, you have to say it! It happens right after you test the strap (and optionally check what note you’ve tightened the strap to). Everybody, say it with me. “That ain’t going nowhere!”
You should probably put that garage door on a motor!
It would be better placed inside on the rt side of the door.
leaving your compressor outside someone could steal it.
Tire equipment?
The shop is coming together and looks great! I wish I had the balls to do what you are doing 15 yrs ago! Anyhoo can't wait to to see you back in action and making $.
Copying keys is actually disturbingly easy, even more so if you're like me and have a 3d printer
Can I recommend that all lights and power and air compressor be routed to a single main switch. One flick when you arrive one when you leave.
Insted of shutting down power strips just cut the circuit breaker that runs the outlets. One switch kills everything.
Are you Forktruck certified? Lol
Thats a pice of paper to weed out the fools. I can drive circles around you with a fork truck.
You do know with the jib crain you can pull a motor. Just need the trolly and lift.
Unless it has one, but that jib Crain looks pretty light duty.
Enjoying seeing this thing come together. Will you be getting A/C and tire machines? I know they are expensive and you need 2 A/C machines.
Tip: when you buy a new place you should always chnage the locks, you don't know how many people have a copy of the key for the existing lock.. if you rent, you should get approval to change the locks.
who's ever stuff is out there…. they r lucky it's still there……
hope ur lucky that air compressor is there in 8 hours later 😎
That air compressor will be noisy when operating. Putting it next to the overhead door means it will sound worse.
At many local oil change places (they have it in a basement section ) you can hear it and is loud in the customer's section.
Locating that compressor outside will help keep the noise it makes out of the shop, the pump kicking on randomly gets annoying after a while and the noise would affect your videos. It will be less secure outside though, and just there beside the door might leave it in the way, but time will tell. A neighbor has one tucked up in a loft outside the shop, it’s out of the way and you can’t hear it from inside the shop. Good luck with it.
Its normal to leave the compressor on the factory shipping skid.
But in this case bolt it to the floor.
I personally don't think this ones big enough but you'll be ok with it.
I've thought about using an ac condenser
As a dryer by putting the air off the pump into the condensers and blowing a fan threw it to cool the air. As it existed install a bleeder chamber then up hill into the compressor tank.
Some comercial compressor have small versions of this. A ac condensers ment to be used in a high pressure system so its a perfect idea. Just make sure you use high pressure lines and hoses.
This should remove a lot of moisture out of the air and keep it out of the tank and your tools. Water in a tool can really screw up the system, you can pipe the system using cpvc pipe 1/2" make sure to add drip tubes with a bleeder at every drop. I worked in a big machine shop this was how we plumbed air for the whole shop. The building was originally a train overhaul building it was very long.
And we ran a lot of CNC equipment in the shop.
Also bleed your tank daily twice a day morning and before you go home.
You can also run copper pipe in a coil into a 55 gallon barrel of cold water, this super cools the air so water separates.
Bolt the compressor down. It will help with the noise, but the calafornia air compressors are pretty quite.
The tanks are steel with a glass coating inside to help keep down rust like a water heater.
may want to put no parking g songs for ur part of the business…. that mb van is in ur way
your better off keeping that air compressor inside… not outside… it would be gone in a heartbeat
My 2003 suburban with 204k miles needs the whole front end rebuilt 🤦🏿♂️but I'm just a YouTube mechanic 🤣 so I'm gonna have to take it to a shop.
Anyway great video 👍🏿
how does all that stuff stay safe and dry being out side
I think the compressor being put there may be in the way of you pulling cars into the shop.
hey whos that guy
Im thinking that its going to be in the way when trying to get bigger vehicles in and out
We Ride at DAWN!
were you not at the last place when you unloaded the engine or no
No hours read off on the forklift?
Watch for theft
you nonbinary handled it
Great job Ray.
special set of skills for everyone yes, some people specialize in paranoia
Really pulling for you Ray, been watching you from 24,000 subs……………..Just retired in Sept and looking forward to your videos……..Much respect!!
I think everyone is over the whole 'cancelled' thing now. It's just another phase the youngin's go through. Good luck with your new venture.
The #1 maxim of trailers: there is no such thing as too many straps.
(I was always taught, strap it down like the Air Force is going to toss it out the back end of a C-130)
Wish you the best with ur new shop ! I work for a Ryder truck rental shop . We have a red dot on all the breakers to shut off at end of nite. May save ya time to just turn off breakers to ur circuits you want shit off . Just a tip may save little time ! My parents live in vero beach ! Take care an enjoy being self employed!!
We need a replica phone ringing sound
I last saw that air compressor in your home workshop in a video about this time last year. The workshop where you were clearing a more direct entrance into and putting up siding on. I haven't seen that workshop since then – did I miss that video?
I think the compressor
Is gonna make it hard to get larg larger trucks on the big lift
Keep going Ray!
Small Granite/Quatz shop beside your shop I see
Closing garage door and fade to darkness should be the new outro of your video
Looks like you're coming along pretty good. Glad you've already got customers coming in for work. Income is crucial to a business!! 😆Not sure I'd have placed the air compressor so close to the door but that's just me. Hope you have a great day and see you on the next video!!
oh yes, anyone with some key making experience can copy a key from a picture
I think right next to the door is not really a good spot for the air compressor unless you have nowhere else, it's a high traffic area that you will be moving vehicles through regularly and having the door open for ventilation is also very likely when you're working (especially with good ol carbon monoxide). The noise of it kicking on will drive you nuts in short order I'd suspect.
I agree with the bucket glove, this day is a wrap!
I like that spot for it.
There's no Peta! to summon. 😯
Bad spot. Will interfere with bringing vehicles in and out of building.
if you power wash and clean the walls then throw a coat of white paint on them it will brighten it up in there 100 folds
I'm surprised that you weren't pulled over for having a secured load in FL…this is out of the ordinary..we should pull him over, this is suspicious. Sorry FL you have a reputation for bad decisions with trailers and not being accountable to other drivers
do you gave a plan to release the condensation from the air tank?
so is that your area out side were the car is and all the tool boxes as well ????
What do mean?…your in an ambulance…I've had it with you.
You new shop makes your tools look small . 😁 .
And remember… "If You miss one more day"….
Ray ru sure the compressor will be safe on the outside I know your in a gated yard but that’s a lot of Hard earned money sitting outside
$2500.00 later…
My trucks got the funky going on.
May need to let you go…
can't make the cut
Get security Cameras up!!!
Too bad your really slowing down…
invest in led lighting its the bomb. i moved in to my new place and found a deal on led lights a month after got a call from hydro asking what i was using for power i said jumper cables from the transformer jokingly then told them led . i went from 1875 watts to 175watts in just lighting house and garage/ workshop.and do not forget to save energy
That door knob is cool…for a slow forklkift
However storys about getting impaled road accidents by doorknob not bueno…just don't nitro it.
Are we watching the beginning of the next automotive repair shop chains? Not sure where Ray sees all of this going but his character and knowledge will take him far!
Make sure to bolt that compressor to the concrete
now try to get your truck in lol
Congorats on the new shop.
I check for your new videos each day. Hope to see the video of your first customer tomorrow. Wishing you good luck in your new business.
as a locksmith i can decode your key via visuals of it
Air compressor inside vs outside. It all depends on how you feel about it's ability to remain where you leave it. You can help it stay in one place by hard wiring it to the building. Same with the air line.
Thats a oil compressor it won't be that loud
Is it peater?
Not sure if that's the safest spot for that compressor ray what if it gets hit from someone pulling in or outta the bay door?
My prediction for this channel is at thus: massive growth in subscribers, format change with professional editors and camera operators will be inevitable (i.e., Ray gets to use BOTH hands for once!), success and lots of scantily clad women (just kidding), LS engine swaps (please!), and it will be the GOAT. Go Ray!
anyone know if there is a way to get in touch to have work done? TY for any help
I ordered transponder keys online and had them cut from a photograph!
Bombs are made from chicken poop, thats some serious shite…
I wish you luck on your first solo job, and look forward to seeing it and the many more to come.
Ray aren't you worried about theft of your compressor
This is the best channel I've found by far.
only a couple of weeks ago you were fired its amazing how quickly you have achieved what you have achieved in such a short amount of time.
Tip: When you have height restrictions with a fork lift, you can set your boom on a table and put the forks on upside down. Or remove the cage if you need an extra few inches.
What was in the background making my head hurt Ray! 😂 Lol
On another note. Tell some kid jokes like Robby Layton does. For instance: How do you make a tissue dance? Ans. is "Put a little boogie in it" 🤣😅😂
Who are you voting for?
When you twang the strap, you can tell if it's tight enough when it plays a B#. Any other note it's either too tight or too slack.
You've done a lot in the four days since getting the keys. Great idea putting the compressor outside. Noisy compressors in the corner of the workshop used to really annoy me in my long ago mechanic days.
