The first level of our 1940s lake house was way to short. Coming in at only 6’8” and 6’0” under the beam. To make this ceiling an appropriate height we decided to lift the entire second level and add 2ft to the foundation. While doing that we also cut in bigger windows and patio doors as well as strengthening the foundation itself before setting it back down. This was such a cool process and in this video I go over all the steps.

The demo has started on our lake house renovation! But with the lower level being only 6'8" in height we had to come up with a plan first. We ultimately settled on raising the house by about 2ft and extending the foundation height. This meant that we needed to prepare the house to be lifted. We started by completely gutting the lower level while leaving the upper level walls in tact (to help with rigidity when raising). We also needed to excavate the back yard to accommodate the bay window/patio door swap. All that being said, this project is growing quickly and there is no turning back now! Enjoy the show! 😂😬 ------------------------------------------------- SUPPORT ROGUE ENGINEER Buy a shirt: http://bit.ly/rogueSHOP Shop on Amazon: http://bit.ly/rogueAMZN Shop at HomeDepot: http://bit.ly/rogueHD ------------------------------------------------- BE SOCIAL https://www.facebook.com/rogueengineer/ https://www.instagram.com/rogue_engineer/ https://www.pinterest.com/rogue_engineer/

For the last few months we have been keeping (and enjoying) a huge secret! We bought a lake house! It is a 1940s cottage that needs a lot of work but I'm putting my construction hat back on and ready to tackle this project head on. In this video I show you the condition it is in currently and some issues that we've had since we purchased it.

Converting a golf cart from lead acid batteries to lithium batteries is more affordable than you might think. I've had several golf carts over the years and my main complaint is having to maintain and replace lead acid batteries after at the end of their usable life (which is about 2-5yrs costing $1k-$1500). Luckily the price and design of lithium batteries has come a long way since the last time I checked and now you can get an equivalent replacement kit for about the same price. Not to mention the fact that you drop about 275lbs, gain storage space, never have to worry about topping off with distilled water, AND THEY LAST 10-20yrs! That being said, this was a no-brainer for me.

On my barn we have a covered porch that gets used quite a bit. To expand that area for storage and grilling we decided to build a paver patio. To do so we started by digging out the soil about 8 inches below grade. We then compacted 1-2 inches of clear 3/4 inch gravel base to fill any low spots. After covering that with commercial landscape fabric, we compacted another 2-3 inches of that same 3/4" clear gavel for drainage. After getting that leveled and pitched correctly we laid some 3/4 inch steel pips for guides and added 1 inch of 3/8 inch clear chip stone and screed it even with the pipes. With a good base in place the pavers got installed and edged with paver edging. Finally poly sand was used to fill the joints and lock all the pavers in place. We also added a small privacy fence to hide an AC unit.

5 years ago I built a chicken coop (https://youtu.be/Ll9vPN60nJ0) and when we moved it to our new home we added some cheap fencing to allow the chickens to roam the hillside during the day but still keep them contained. Over the years, that cheap fencing really started to look like crap and in this video we give it a full makeover. Looking for garden fence ideas? In this video we show you how to build a quick and easy welded wire garden fence with gate. We also were able to make setting the fence posts really easy with the use of the Simpson StrongTie EZ-Spikes. While it was a pretty small fence, we were able to get the whole thing done in about a day.

For my daughter's 9th birthday, the only thing she wanted was a "beachy" loft bed. So you know I had to make it happen. But how do you make a loft bed "beachy" you say? Well we started by coming up with a design list of must-haves. Here's what we came up with: -"Beachy" / Coastal Theme -Mature enough that she will get many years of use -Not damaging to floor / existing trim -Plenty of storage & play area -Electrical for outlets and lights As this list came together, I quickly realized that this wasn't going to be a weekend project. Nevertheless, while this project took longer than expected and cost more than projected, I think we nailed it and I will say that it was well worth it!

Recently, Ecotric sent me their Explorer E-Bike which is a 26" Fat Tire bike capable of all types of terrain. Having a house near the beach in Florida, I though this would be perfect for riding on the beach. In this video I go over the specs on this E-Bike and cover how we have and will be using it as well as how it performs for our conditions.

Many years back I built a simple single golf locker and it has been really nice to have, keeping all my golf gear together. Within the past couple years my wife has shown an interest in golf and now with the new golf simulator I knew I was going to need a double golf locker to hold all of our things. Not only is it a great place to store clubs out of the way, but with the shelves we can also house golf shoes, hats and extra gear in between rounds and in the off season.

After seeing one for the first time many years ago, one of my dreams was to have a golf simulator in my home one day. That being said, a few years back I built a budget friendly golf simulator in my barn/workshop. While it was a lot of fun, the foam balls and cheap sensor limitations were quite unrealistic and ultimately fell short of what I had dreamed of. I finally decided to remove that simulator and give it a massive upgrade with the BenQ LK936ST 4K short throw projector, Custom Carl's Place Enclosure, and Uneekor Eye XO Launch Monitor! This truly is a giant leap from what I had in past and the perfect place to enjoy winter nights with the guys, date nights with my wife, or improve my game in the off season. In this tutorial I'll go over all the details of how it came together.

With winter around the corner the golf outings turn into poker nights. My makeshift poker table from last year worked great but it was simple and too big. This year was the perfect time to invest in a new poker table but they are SO expensive so I decided to build my own. I wanted it to be small enough to reach comfortably across the table but also be able to seat 8 people. Since I was taking the time to build one I wanted to include LED lights and actual poker table speed cloth.

Our basement is definitely coming along. Little by little we have been turning it into the space we've always wanted. However the center wall in our basement is a long wall with a bump out which was all the same color. To differentiate the space and add a little pizzazz we decided on a board and batten feature wall. This is an inexpensive and easy way to spruce up a bare wall. Oh and we made a personalized game room sign that really sets it off.

We've had an old hand-me-down pool table in our basement for some time now. The slate is in great shape and the size was perfect for our space but it was in need of a serious overhaul. So we decided to give it a face lift and it turned out even better than we both could have imagined. In this tutorial I will detail how we took an old 7ft pool table and gave it a new modern look. From building new rails, to recovering and installing new legs and aprons.

We recently replaced my daughters dresser with a storage unit for her toys. That meant we needed some drawers to house her clothes. We have always wanted to build a built-in dresser for her walk in closet and now it was go time. I decided to build a 5 drawer dresser with two smaller drawers at the top and three larger drawers below. This setup provides a ton of storage and while plywood is extremely high right now, I was still able to build this unit for a little over $400 which saved me thousands if we were to have it custom made.

Recently we took a trip down to my parents house in Florida and one thing they have been missing on the back patio was a table big enough to seat our entire family. We needed enough seats for my family, my brothers family and my parents. Which brings us to 10 seats. I didn't have a bunch of time or the workshop to build a big fancy table so we opted to keep it simple. Even though this table only took a few hours and under $200 to build, we have already gotten a ton of enjoyment out of it and it will be a great place to gather for years to come.
