bro, i love those low profile ceiling lights. We used them when we did our basement build out and it was so convenient not having to run those big lighting boxes up in between the joists. Glad to see your progress. Cheers!
You do need to clean the garage floor, even if you're going epoxy. I honestly would recommend using an abrasive disc on a floor sander. It will make very quick work of the paint and spackle leftovers. If you've had any surface cracks in the concrete that can be felt by hand, it's also not a bad idea to do a quick fill with some Quikrete before you run the floor sander. It's a small amount of work up front that will give you a cleaner appearance in the end, especially if you end up with a glossy finish to the floor. Be sure to throw some plastic up on the walls when you run the floor sander. They have a tendency to send crap flying every direction, which could mean potential touch-ups on the wall afterward. After the sanding, a quick wash with a neutralizer will help to prevent any contaminants from getting in the way of the coating having good adherence. It's not as big a deal with epoxy coatings as it would be if you were doing an acid stain on the concrete, but again, it's such a quick and easy step to do that it's worth it just to be sure. I've done quite a bit of flooring work over the years and it just pays off to do the little extras up front rather than having spots that disappoint you after the fact, many of which cannot be easily corrected once the floor finish is in place.
Quick guess, but I'm thinking 42 lights in the garage, an additional 9 in the shop extension, which would likely mean another 12 in Maddox' garage, for a total of 63.
24:18 Heavy duty ceramic tiling. Epoxy you only 2 one time in your life, when it breaks swopping it out is complex, unless you simply choose to pour more on top.
I noticed the garage spring wasn’t covered. A pair of vice grips, a 12pt 3/8 drive socket, and a 12-14 steel round bar. That’s all it takes to remove that spring. But honestly. You should drywall over the bracket as it is. If you put drywall under that spring play it’ll crush the drywall over time. I installed doors for 5 years. It’s not wise to put a spring bracket over drywall. Putting drywall under the track isn’t the best idea either. But I’m guessing you’re not in any real severe weather (hurricane) zone. I didn’t see any wind bracing on those doors. So it’s not a big deal. Love the content brother keep it coming!!
love the shop! congrats on being the last generation that can do things by themselves! im in the same boat. I watch your videos for ideas on my HMMWV. you seem like a cool dude.
@@SplitBuilds by the way.. if you EVER need powder coating, of any color, just shoot me what color and how much and ill get it on its way. the easiest way i can pay you back for all the knowledge. Free of course.50# box to however much you have room for lol. thanks again. you inspired me to do my first little informative video today. about the door Rabbit pillars.
Great video, I’m about to do the same on my 2017 X5 35i, I know the set up will be slightly different but the video has inspired me to go ahead. Was the differential oem or did you go with an upgrade?
The shop looks great! I've been following your channel for the last few years. It has inspired me to get a m998 project to work on w my two teenage sons. Thanks for great content.
Yeahhh!!! Welcome back!! Who would say it’s too much light, especially for a garage? Dimmers exist, and man is it nice to have all the light you need while working on projects. Everything is really looking great! Well done!!!
