Stop Water From Flooding Under Your Garage Door With GaraDry or Weather Defender XL Rubber Threshold 

Instead of cutting the seal in shape you should of cut the bottom of the metal garage door track so the seal fits right under without cutting it

Thanks for sharing! Do you have any insight on what threshold/seals can be used for the sides of the garage as well?

Always look forward to a Lovely Place video! That was interesting and informative Sean…thank you for sharing! As a side note Sean, please keep me and my wife in prayer. I just had emergency surgery on May 1, and will spend 6-9 days in hospital and about 8 weeks in a nursing facility recovering.

I have a place in mind. I'm thinking of buying it cash and want to know what it'd cost to renovate.

You can blame the concrete guy. Yes. But the guy who built the garage never made the grade high enough Now you're forced to use shit to fix the problem

Might have cut the metal door jamb at the bottom, eliminating notching.

Great video. I just received the same one and am about to tackle it this weekend. This video definitely helps. Thank you. I have a 16ft door, they gave me one tube. Do you think that will do? I hope I don't have the same problem you did putting that sealant down.

No matter what, the Garadry is tapered, which means it is still a lump of material in the way of food traffic, which could cause tripping. What's worse is the fact that the Garadry, or others just as well made, cost over $250 smackaroos for a 1 1/4" height X 16' door way. Yes, $250, look it up. So, over the weekend, I had a client call me in a panic that an inspector was coming Monday to see if they addressed the garage door leak in one of the garages, which she forgot about. So I went there and it was a 16ft wide garage the tenants weren't there. But the door next door was open. So at least I could figure out how I was going to go about it in such a short period of time. So I figured I would call around for kiln dried pressure treated 2X4x16, which I couldn't find but one of the guys says they dry their lumber vertically when it comes in very wet. So I picked up a 2X4X16 pressure treated board, which it feel dry and I primed it and using plastic barriers I was able focus hot air on it allowing me to put 2 coats of primer on it in less than a few hours. It was completely hand able by then. So I notched it to fit, then I drilled 8 holes for 1/4" TapCons concreate screws and put the screws in the wood to be ready to screw down. Next, using a grinder, I made quick word of cleaning off the old floor paint and I used Acetone to wipe it down. The surface was perfect. Next, using a felt pen, I outlined the wood that was on the ground. Then using 5 tubes of basic construction adhesive I entered out just about 5 containers so that when I screwed down the wood, the glue was oozing out the sides. Then I screwed the wood down permanently. Now using a gloved hand and some paper towels, I would remove the ooze out and leave a nice finished line after I removed the tape. Then I tested it with a hose the same day the inspector came and signed off on it.

Thanks for your great video and well done. Your detailed explanations inspired me to install my own garage door seal. God bless you.

Unfortunately the concrete guys did a horrible job. You should have never had to do all that grinding. Let me know who they are, so that I won’t hire them🤪. kiddos to your hard work!

Nice job, I will get this also

We currently live just north of Dallas, TX. My wife and I have been looking for some land in Tennessee, any suggestions?

If there is a large gap under your garage door commercial solutions can be expensive or impractical. A DIY solution is to prop a tongue-and-groove floorboard cut to the width of your garage opening and propped at 45 degrees. You can add triangular pieces at the side to block that and keep the 45 degrees. Point the "tongue" side downwards for a better seal. You simply move it aside when you want to use the garage. Either replace it in several years time when it rots or cover it with vinyl wrap to help preserve it and make it more attractive. With increased downpours this would reduce the chance of your garage being flooded. If you are expecting downpours you could put socks filled with sand underneath it for further protection.

I wonder if the tube of adhesive was warmed up, maybe in the sun, it would flow better?

Why not put a Polish drain around the whole place. Why play around with the crap you are getting ready to use

There’s always the right tool for the job. Lol!! Thank you, I am fighting the same issue. When my garage and parking area was poured, I think they sloped the concrete so water will go into the garage. This video helped me out tremendously! My wife and I hate the rainy season because of this. Thanks again, God bless!!

Yo, this is RipperJack from season 2 of Tiger King. I was expecting a 10 minute video for installation of one of these, and started watching yours without looking at the length of time. I think you could make this video shorter, and it would be fine. Maybe do some shorts in 5 parts for a total of 10 minutes. However, I absolutely love that you took the time to describe, and show every detail of this installation. It's very rare these days with these types of videos. TT has ruined the real experience of these types of videos because it has to be done in 3 minutes. Kudos to you for being detailed, people like me can really appreciate that. Where are you located? Can I give you some advice on your homestead? We have a 65 acre homestead here and the work is endless it seems. Here's my suggestion, start growing mushrooms at your place. You'll need to setup another building, but you'll thank me in a couple of years, and they'll pay for themselves in a couple of years, and you'll be helping people get healthy. Take care, God Bless, Ripper

that was a lot of work, I wished I'd seen this over 10 years ago, as I couldn't think how to do what you did when I put my guard down, only for water to seep in at the edges of the door. So this spring I'll pull up my old one and try what you did. Thanks for taking the time to show us how you did it..

10mo in and wondering how waterproof it is still at near 1 year with winds? Was there enough sealant/adhesive, or did you need more?

who ever did your floor had no clue what they were doing

Nice video. I see you carry, and it looks like you're a lefty like me.

Who's the music artist playing at 28:35 ?

I need to do this job, or course I would wind up getting a adhesive tube that's so hard to work with like yours. 🤣

1ST time to see your channel. Nice place you have going on there. Watching you work reminded me of when I was 14. My dad told me to get a pencil, ruler, scissors and a cereal box. Cut the side out of the box, mark it, cut it then check it when you need to make a pattern. If you mess up, there is the other side of the box. And when you have like you need, turn it over and your other end is done. I turned 70 this year. Have fun and be safe.

Great video

Ok ok im jealous.i wish I had half the talent you have.man you are good.great video👌
