WEBVTT - Affordable Garage Updates

0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:06.960
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Car Stuff, a production of I Heart Radio. Hello,

0:00:07.040 --> 0:00:09.200
<v Speaker 1>and Welcome to car Stuff. I'm your host, Scott Benjamin,

0:00:09.240 --> 0:00:12.200
<v Speaker 1>and I'm Ben Bullin and I am Kurt Garen. Hey, guys,

0:00:12.280 --> 0:00:14.280
<v Speaker 1>you know what, today, let's do something just a little

0:00:14.280 --> 0:00:16.079
<v Speaker 1>bit different than what we normally do. I know, we

0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:19.120
<v Speaker 1>like to you know, dig into uh you know, like

0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:22.520
<v Speaker 1>maybe a make or model or you know, something like that,

0:00:22.640 --> 0:00:25.119
<v Speaker 1>or we talk about the history of a person. But

0:00:25.239 --> 0:00:27.400
<v Speaker 1>today I would like to kind of talk about our garages,

0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:31.440
<v Speaker 1>if that's okay with you. Oh, this is interesting to me, Scott,

0:00:31.520 --> 0:00:35.919
<v Speaker 1>because you know, my friend that I like seventeen percent

0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:41.600
<v Speaker 1>of the US population currently live in an apartment where

0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:44.279
<v Speaker 1>I do not have a garage, but I have some plans. Yeah,

0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:46.360
<v Speaker 1>I'd love I'd love to talk about this because you

0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:50.000
<v Speaker 1>know what, I miss my garage, having a living in

0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:55.520
<v Speaker 1>a house. The best thing about it was that space. Yeah. Yeah.

0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:58.480
<v Speaker 1>And it can be a nice place to go sometimes.

0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:00.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean it can actually be kind of laxing. It

0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:02.640
<v Speaker 1>can be calming, and it could it could be the

0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:06.000
<v Speaker 1>other as well. It can also be infuriating. And I

0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:08.600
<v Speaker 1>had a garage for a while that was infuriating to me.

0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:11.200
<v Speaker 1>It made me just kind of tense to be out there,

0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:13.200
<v Speaker 1>and it was because it was so crowded. It was

0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:16.560
<v Speaker 1>like the lighting was terrible. Um, just it was not

0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:18.960
<v Speaker 1>a great place to be. I was cold in the winter,

0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:21.080
<v Speaker 1>it was hot in the summer. I still got a

0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:22.959
<v Speaker 1>couple of these issues going on. Don't get me wrong,

0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:25.800
<v Speaker 1>But I've done some things recently that I think we're

0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:29.760
<v Speaker 1>really you know, some fantastic improvements and cheap you know,

0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:32.479
<v Speaker 1>things that I could just do simply that helped out

0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:34.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot. And I think if you know, anybody out

0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:36.440
<v Speaker 1>there has got a similar situation where you know, it's

0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:38.280
<v Speaker 1>not the most comfortable place in the world to be

0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:42.120
<v Speaker 1>out there in the garage. But if you have something

0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:44.039
<v Speaker 1>like that going on, there's some things that you can

0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:45.880
<v Speaker 1>do to make it a better place for you and

0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:47.400
<v Speaker 1>make you want to go out there and make you

0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:49.040
<v Speaker 1>want to take on those projects you know that you

0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:51.680
<v Speaker 1>might not have done in the past. So I don't know,

0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:53.840
<v Speaker 1>I just find it very therapeutic to go out there

0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:55.600
<v Speaker 1>now and just kind of, you know, spend a little

0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:59.160
<v Speaker 1>time sorting, organizing, straightening, you know, working on some things.

0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:00.880
<v Speaker 1>You know, whatever it happened is to be it's a

0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:03.080
<v Speaker 1>nice place to be now. And again, I've got some

0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:04.760
<v Speaker 1>things that I you'll need to do, and we can

0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:07.400
<v Speaker 1>talk about what I haven't done yet versus what I

0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:09.880
<v Speaker 1>have done. But there's a lot of really simple things

0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:13.480
<v Speaker 1>that just about anybody can do with either zero money,

0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:16.320
<v Speaker 1>which is you know, the best price or um, you

0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:19.520
<v Speaker 1>know you can find yeah, you know, real bargains, I

0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:21.760
<v Speaker 1>guess bargain ways to do this. So what we're not

0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:24.880
<v Speaker 1>doing today is we're not talking about, you know, these

0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:28.080
<v Speaker 1>million dollar upgraded garages that we've you know, we've all

0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:30.080
<v Speaker 1>seen on um, you know online. Of course you do

0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:33.280
<v Speaker 1>a keyword search for you know, expensive garage options or

0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:36.560
<v Speaker 1>you know whatever. You're gonna find people that have elevators

0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:38.720
<v Speaker 1>to a second level in their garage, you know, and

0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:41.360
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna have um, I don't know, they're gonna have

0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:44.200
<v Speaker 1>priceless works of art hanging on the wall, you know,

0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:46.800
<v Speaker 1>with I guess art gallery lighting all around it. And

0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:51.560
<v Speaker 1>I think we're at Another example would be those really

0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:55.919
<v Speaker 1>cool parking spots that recess into the ground. Yes, that's

0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:59.240
<v Speaker 1>what I'm talking about, and we're not talking about those today.

0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:01.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh they are, they're really those are really cool and

0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:05.399
<v Speaker 1>I think We've done another episode on some some outlandish garages. Yeah,

0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:07.760
<v Speaker 1>we have that type of thing. So what I'd like

0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:10.200
<v Speaker 1>to do is maybe talk about making your garage a

0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:13.280
<v Speaker 1>a functional place versus you know, having kind of like

0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:15.320
<v Speaker 1>a show garage. I guess where you know you have

0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:17.320
<v Speaker 1>friends over and you've got a couch out there and

0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:19.320
<v Speaker 1>stuff like that, you know, a big screen TV on

0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:21.040
<v Speaker 1>the wall. We're not talking about stuff like that. We

0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:22.960
<v Speaker 1>want to we want to make it something that you know,

0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:25.560
<v Speaker 1>you're comfortable to go out there and work on your

0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:27.960
<v Speaker 1>projects or whatever. You can even take other stuff from

0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:29.799
<v Speaker 1>the house and work out there on your workbench, and

0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:32.839
<v Speaker 1>you've got space to do it. A workspace, a workspace, yeah,

0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:38.600
<v Speaker 1>comfortable workspace. Yeah. I proposed that we start at the beginning.

0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:43.200
<v Speaker 1>When most people move into a house, you know, you'll

0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:46.040
<v Speaker 1>find several areas of the house that tend to be

0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:48.200
<v Speaker 1>a little rough around the edges, where they tend to

0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:51.160
<v Speaker 1>be unfinished. You know, sometimes in the suburbs, these are

0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:54.200
<v Speaker 1>called like bonus rooms. Right, We'll have an unfinished attict,

0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:57.520
<v Speaker 1>you'll have a basement that still has a dirt floor,

0:03:57.560 --> 0:04:01.480
<v Speaker 1>things like that. Yeah, the garage is often one of

0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:05.119
<v Speaker 1>those spaces. The garage is the most likely to just

0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:08.440
<v Speaker 1>be a room, and who knows what condition the door

0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:13.920
<v Speaker 1>is in. Right, So for a lot of people when

0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:16.320
<v Speaker 1>they move in, if they're gonna start building their garage

0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:20.640
<v Speaker 1>from the ground up, they look at two huge things,

0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:24.800
<v Speaker 1>the door and the floor. These can get expensive, right,

0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:29.120
<v Speaker 1>But there are some very reasonable things you can do,

0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:31.680
<v Speaker 1>even a little bit kind of d I Y style,

0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:36.640
<v Speaker 1>to give your garage some insulation. Because that's one of

0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:38.160
<v Speaker 1>the things that stuck out to me when you were

0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:40.840
<v Speaker 1>talking about this in the beginning. You said, sometimes garage

0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:45.239
<v Speaker 1>is too hot, too cold. It's weird because I've seen

0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:50.640
<v Speaker 1>more kind of clutter stuffy garages that I have operational ones.

0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:54.520
<v Speaker 1>Kurt and I were talking about this earlier off air,

0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:57.640
<v Speaker 1>of course, we were talking about how it seems like

0:04:57.640 --> 0:05:01.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot of garages don't really get a car parked

0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:02.680
<v Speaker 1>in them ever. I mean a lot of people just

0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:05.159
<v Speaker 1>simply use it for storage. I mean, or there is

0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:07.760
<v Speaker 1>a car under there somewhere. Uh, you know that that

0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:09.800
<v Speaker 1>at one time was a project or at one time

0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:12.320
<v Speaker 1>was driving or you know whatever, it's grandma's car or whatever,

0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:14.480
<v Speaker 1>and you parked it here, and you left it there

0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:17.040
<v Speaker 1>and you just started piling stuff on top of it,

0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:20.599
<v Speaker 1>and it became the most expensive show. It became it

0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:23.480
<v Speaker 1>became a storage area, right, instead of instead of, instead

0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:25.440
<v Speaker 1>of a car storage area, it's a it's a stuff

0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:27.640
<v Speaker 1>storage area. It's like an extension of your basement or

0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:30.400
<v Speaker 1>your attic or whatever. It's where all the things that

0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:34.160
<v Speaker 1>you didn't like enough to have in your house but

0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:37.440
<v Speaker 1>you couldn't throw away end up. You know, that's exactly right,

0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:40.520
<v Speaker 1>the limbo. It's the holding area. Yeah, like stuff that

0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:42.440
<v Speaker 1>was in your yard that you know you want to

0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:46.000
<v Speaker 1>bring in from the weather mowers or at least these

0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:49.320
<v Speaker 1>days more and more garages seemed to be just like

0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:52.919
<v Speaker 1>a catch all of storage. And I have a I

0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:55.640
<v Speaker 1>have a point I want to make about that real quick.

0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:59.279
<v Speaker 1>It's a larger philosophical point, and it doesn't have a

0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:02.000
<v Speaker 1>huge role to play in today's episode. But I think

0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:05.960
<v Speaker 1>a big reason that a lot of that clutter begins

0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:12.320
<v Speaker 1>to acrete is it's twofold. First. Many of us, unfortunately,

0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:16.240
<v Speaker 1>when we are doing a task at home, whether it's

0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:19.640
<v Speaker 1>auto repair, whether it's yardwork or something like that, we

0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:23.080
<v Speaker 1>tend to think of the task just as us accomplishing

0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:25.640
<v Speaker 1>the thing so you're tilling the yard, right, or you're

0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:29.039
<v Speaker 1>changing the oil. Then once you screw that oil filter

0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:31.719
<v Speaker 1>back on and once you put the new oil in

0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:35.360
<v Speaker 1>the system, then a lot of us tend to think, well,

0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:38.840
<v Speaker 1>the job is pretty much done. Let me just you know,

0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:41.760
<v Speaker 1>seal up the container I have for the old oil.

0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:45.320
<v Speaker 1>Let me just put it somewhere because I'm quote unquote done,

0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:48.080
<v Speaker 1>So I'm going to take care of all this stuff later.

0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:51.360
<v Speaker 1>And then that's how we end up just throwing stuff

0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:54.760
<v Speaker 1>willy nilly into a garage. And then once you have

0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:59.320
<v Speaker 1>a small pile of crap somewhere, it becomes so much

0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:02.480
<v Speaker 1>easier to make more small piles of crap. Yeah, that's

0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:04.520
<v Speaker 1>exactly what happens. And you know, one of the tips

0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:06.479
<v Speaker 1>I guess that that I've kind of picked up along

0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:08.920
<v Speaker 1>the way here is that, you know, it's great to

0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:10.960
<v Speaker 1>organize your garage. Sure, I mean that, I think we

0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:13.239
<v Speaker 1>can all agree that, you know, a well organized garage

0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:16.800
<v Speaker 1>is it's it's any room actually is better off when

0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:19.960
<v Speaker 1>it's well organized, right, it really is. But I have

0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:23.120
<v Speaker 1>recently reorganized my garage and kind of figured out where

0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:25.280
<v Speaker 1>everything goes and got things kind of you know, clustered

0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:27.480
<v Speaker 1>together where they should be. The chemicals in one area,

0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:30.120
<v Speaker 1>you know that, the electrical stuff in one box over here.

0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:31.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, I know where everything is and I can

0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:34.360
<v Speaker 1>I can easily lay my hands on everything. The problem

0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:36.960
<v Speaker 1>is that if you don't do that about twice a year,

0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:40.000
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna fall behind. And it's the truth. I mean,

0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:41.760
<v Speaker 1>it's just what you said. Like where you know, you

0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:44.120
<v Speaker 1>start gathering more things and putting things in front of

0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:46.920
<v Speaker 1>other things, and it blocks your view, it blocks your

0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:49.560
<v Speaker 1>access to those items, and you know, things get a

0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:51.400
<v Speaker 1>little dirtier because you don't pick it up to you know,

0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:54.720
<v Speaker 1>clean underneath it or whatever, and you know it's just snowballs.

0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:56.960
<v Speaker 1>The whole problem starts to snowball. But you have to

0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:01.320
<v Speaker 1>if you do maintain garage that is well organized. I mean,

0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:04.320
<v Speaker 1>I really do feel like it's just an easier place

0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:07.120
<v Speaker 1>to go and access whatever you need because you know

0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:09.120
<v Speaker 1>right where it is. I mean, it's it's it's been

0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:10.680
<v Speaker 1>so helpful to me to be able to do this

0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:13.200
<v Speaker 1>recently that I had some time that I was able

0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:15.880
<v Speaker 1>to straighten everything up and again I can just go

0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:18.200
<v Speaker 1>in there right now and I could access anything that

0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:20.680
<v Speaker 1>I need. I know, exactly where it is. And that's

0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:22.920
<v Speaker 1>so helpful because before it was kind of scattered all

0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:24.440
<v Speaker 1>over the place. It might be in the basement, it

0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:27.040
<v Speaker 1>might be you know, out back on the porch, might

0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:28.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, who knows where it would be. Right, So

0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:30.640
<v Speaker 1>now I can go in there and I feel like

0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:32.560
<v Speaker 1>I can put my hands on anything that I need

0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:35.840
<v Speaker 1>to right away. And it's very very helpful. So you know,

0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:38.280
<v Speaker 1>I think I derailedy here on the on the installation.

0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:40.840
<v Speaker 1>We were talking about installation, right, Yeah, this is a

0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:44.000
<v Speaker 1>very easy d I Y project. This is for the

0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:46.960
<v Speaker 1>giant door, right right. This is for the child door.

0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:50.680
<v Speaker 1>First off, make sure the door works. You know, there's

0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:53.760
<v Speaker 1>there's just nothing sadder than driving by a house and

0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:57.080
<v Speaker 1>you see the busty garage door because it's one of

0:08:57.080 --> 0:08:58.960
<v Speaker 1>those things that people don't really want to fix because

0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:01.560
<v Speaker 1>it can be a pain. Right. It's the it's isn't it.

0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:04.800
<v Speaker 1>I think the garage door is the largest movable object

0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:07.880
<v Speaker 1>in your house. I think, yeah, I think it is. Yeah,

0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:10.160
<v Speaker 1>it weighs a ton, right, I mean it's it's and

0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:12.480
<v Speaker 1>it's all resting on that one little motor that's up

0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:15.120
<v Speaker 1>there in the center of the center of the ceiling. Yeah,

0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:17.760
<v Speaker 1>so that thing gets a lot of work, it does. Yeah.

0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:24.520
<v Speaker 1>So garage door manufacturers have found that if you insulate

0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:29.000
<v Speaker 1>your garage door, it's gonna be about twelve degrees warmer fahrenheit.

0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:32.080
<v Speaker 1>It's nothing crazy. In the winter months in about twenty

0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:36.160
<v Speaker 1>five degrees cooler. In summer cooler. I could use cooler

0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:39.640
<v Speaker 1>out there, yeah, yeah, because weird Georgia. Yeah. So one thing,

0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:44.239
<v Speaker 1>one thing that sneak about this is that unlike installing

0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:47.959
<v Speaker 1>a garage door, it's pretty easy to insulate a garage

0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:51.000
<v Speaker 1>door on your own yourself. Well, it's very easy actually,

0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:52.880
<v Speaker 1>and they make kits even for this if you want

0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:54.600
<v Speaker 1>to buy a kit, or you could just simply do

0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:57.360
<v Speaker 1>it yourself, right, I mean, there's there's like three types

0:09:57.360 --> 0:09:59.920
<v Speaker 1>of installation that you can buy. Can either do the

0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.640
<v Speaker 1>bat type, which is kind of like the I don't know,

0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:04.920
<v Speaker 1>I guess that's the stuff that you see on new

0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:06.520
<v Speaker 1>build homes, you know, like the stuff they roll out

0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:08.720
<v Speaker 1>in between the walls. It's flexible, it's you know, they

0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:12.040
<v Speaker 1>got the paperbacking. It's the least expensive option out of these,

0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:14.840
<v Speaker 1>and these are all very low dollar things to it.

0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:17.320
<v Speaker 1>There's also a foam board that you can buy that's

0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:19.840
<v Speaker 1>that's cut for the panels specifically, or you can cut

0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:23.200
<v Speaker 1>it yourself, custom cut it. There's also reflective, is that

0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:26.840
<v Speaker 1>the yellow foam with the reflective film over it? Yeah,

0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:29.199
<v Speaker 1>it's like silver looking off to me. That would be

0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:32.199
<v Speaker 1>crazy distracting in the garage, you know, to have something

0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:34.160
<v Speaker 1>that's like reflective like that, especially if you have a

0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:37.440
<v Speaker 1>work light on and it's bouncing off the work like. Yeah,

0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:40.319
<v Speaker 1>I mean, but hey, maybe that works right, Maybe that's good. Yeah,

0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:43.079
<v Speaker 1>maybe it's maybe it's a benefit to have a reflective

0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:46.000
<v Speaker 1>garage door on the inside. But either way, I mean,

0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:48.080
<v Speaker 1>like you said, Ben, I had no idea that the

0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:50.839
<v Speaker 1>temperature swing could be so great just by insulating the door.

0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:52.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it makes sense. It's just a piece of

0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:55.560
<v Speaker 1>metal that is between you and outside, and it doesn't

0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:58.960
<v Speaker 1>count the windows, it doesn't count any other installation. Just

0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:02.280
<v Speaker 1>doing that to the or will end up saving money,

0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, I will. I mean, but it just makes

0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:07.120
<v Speaker 1>it again, like everything else that we're gonna talk about today,

0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:09.840
<v Speaker 1>I hope, I will just make it more pleasant to

0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:11.839
<v Speaker 1>be out there, a little bit more pleasant time. Now

0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:14.400
<v Speaker 1>I've in my own garage, I haven't done insulation yet.

0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:16.240
<v Speaker 1>That's one of the things that I haven't done. I

0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:18.400
<v Speaker 1>haven't changed the lighting or anything like that yet. I

0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:21.160
<v Speaker 1>haven't done anything really big yet. But these are all

0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:23.200
<v Speaker 1>low dollar things that we can we can talk about,

0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:25.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, the ones that I'm still missing. But I

0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:27.839
<v Speaker 1>will say this that, you know, when I'm out there

0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:29.880
<v Speaker 1>in the summertime, I bring a small fan just to

0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:32.880
<v Speaker 1>like a box fan helps out tremendously, just to have

0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:34.680
<v Speaker 1>something like that in the in the space. And that's

0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:37.040
<v Speaker 1>one thing that I think everybody can do that just

0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:39.920
<v Speaker 1>to make it easier on yourself out there. Just it's simple,

0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:43.000
<v Speaker 1>simple thing. Bring a box, Get a little box fan

0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:46.000
<v Speaker 1>from your local department. Go crazy, go crazy, get get

0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:49.800
<v Speaker 1>get a twenty five dollar box. Find one at a

0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:51.360
<v Speaker 1>thrift shop or you know whatever. You can get it

0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:53.439
<v Speaker 1>for three bucks. I don't care. But that's one thing

0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:55.560
<v Speaker 1>you can do. And then I've got Also this is

0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:57.719
<v Speaker 1>also effective. And it's a two car garage, so it's

0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:01.200
<v Speaker 1>it's a bigger space. Just a tiny little ceramic heater.

0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:04.240
<v Speaker 1>It's very very small, like it's I'm holding my hands

0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:06.320
<v Speaker 1>out like everybody can see this, but it's it's only

0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:09.200
<v Speaker 1>like about you know, eight or twelve inches across, and

0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:11.439
<v Speaker 1>and you know it's like a little cube, right, it's

0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:14.240
<v Speaker 1>a ceramic heater, and the thing really cranks out the heat.

0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:16.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's it's fantastic to use in the garage

0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:18.040
<v Speaker 1>in the wintertime because you can put it right near

0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:20.200
<v Speaker 1>you without the fear of having you know, kind of

0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:22.760
<v Speaker 1>like an open flame anywhere nearby, or any kind of chemicals,

0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:25.720
<v Speaker 1>like if you have a kerosene heater or something like that. So, uh,

0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:28.160
<v Speaker 1>it's it's beneficial to have something like this on hand

0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:30.360
<v Speaker 1>if you're in a colder climate, just a really simple

0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:34.040
<v Speaker 1>plug in ceramic heater, and it makes your area so

0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:35.800
<v Speaker 1>much better. It takes a little while to to get

0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:37.320
<v Speaker 1>it warmed up in there. You don't you know, you're

0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:39.760
<v Speaker 1>not gonna be blistering hot or anything like that. But

0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:42.400
<v Speaker 1>it beats back the cold enough that you're able to

0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:45.120
<v Speaker 1>work and you can keep your hands functioning because you know,

0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:47.000
<v Speaker 1>when it gets really really cold and your hands don't

0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:49.400
<v Speaker 1>seem to want to work the right way, That's what

0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:51.559
<v Speaker 1>I felt like anyway, when it gets really really cold,

0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:53.480
<v Speaker 1>like you just can't get your fingers to do what

0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:55.040
<v Speaker 1>you want them to do with you're so cold. And

0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:58.720
<v Speaker 1>you can't wear gloves because you need yeah, yeah, either

0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:01.280
<v Speaker 1>or you'd wear those little thin mechanics gloves and those

0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:03.840
<v Speaker 1>aren't really meant for like warmth or anything. I mean

0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:06.800
<v Speaker 1>they they sell insulated ones. But again you've lost all

0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:11.360
<v Speaker 1>tactle sense, you know, so sometimes you need that. But yeah,

0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:15.319
<v Speaker 1>I mean there's just too simple, really really inexpensive things

0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:16.839
<v Speaker 1>that you can do that that help out a lot

0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:20.640
<v Speaker 1>out there. I am going to say though again and

0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:22.800
<v Speaker 1>I totally agree with you on this one, Scott, but

0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:26.960
<v Speaker 1>I must point out that before you buy any new

0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:31.680
<v Speaker 1>thing for your garage counting a car, clean your garage,

0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:33.800
<v Speaker 1>oh yeah, get rid of all this stuff you don't need.

0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:36.600
<v Speaker 1>Because for most people, if you if you look through it,

0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:41.600
<v Speaker 1>you'll find things that you you just don't need. You

0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:43.840
<v Speaker 1>just put them somewhere and you forgot about them. A

0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:46.480
<v Speaker 1>lot of people have a half finished project, you know,

0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:49.040
<v Speaker 1>and it can be tough to swallow your pride and

0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:51.679
<v Speaker 1>be honest with yourself and say, well, you know, I

0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:56.360
<v Speaker 1>guess I actually don't care as much about building this

0:13:56.640 --> 0:14:02.000
<v Speaker 1>what magtiic airplane? Yeah, building this stick or whatever? Right, Yeah,

0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:04.000
<v Speaker 1>it's just somehow like if you had a hobby or something,

0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:06.000
<v Speaker 1>and you've got, you know, all the stuff associated with

0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:08.200
<v Speaker 1>that hobby, but you no longer do the hobby, then

0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:09.520
<v Speaker 1>maybe it's time to get rid of it. You got

0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:11.800
<v Speaker 1>old skis laying around, but you know, like we're here

0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:16.120
<v Speaker 1>in Georgia and rarely when you use skis unless you

0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:18.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, travel with them obviously, But things like that

0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:20.640
<v Speaker 1>just you just use common sense. I got rid of

0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:22.880
<v Speaker 1>a ton of stuff in my garage, you know what

0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:24.160
<v Speaker 1>I find? You know what I finally got rid of.

0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:26.560
<v Speaker 1>It made me feel so good. It's like it just

0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:28.960
<v Speaker 1>helps you feel better, lighter, to get rid of all

0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:32.880
<v Speaker 1>this stuff. I know. So do you remember, many many

0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:35.960
<v Speaker 1>years ago we we tore apart that old mg Yes,

0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:40.040
<v Speaker 1>oh boy, yeah, it was a long time ago, right,

0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:42.880
<v Speaker 1>and I think most of our listeners have seen photos

0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:44.680
<v Speaker 1>of us in that thing, you know, kind of you know,

0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:47.960
<v Speaker 1>we were elbow deep in that thing for long, right,

0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:50.840
<v Speaker 1>crawling all over it. It was great, though, to completely

0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:54.680
<v Speaker 1>dismantle the car without worrying about putting it back together.

0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:58.880
<v Speaker 1>Funny because like broke, Okay, fine, you know, it's all right,

0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:00.880
<v Speaker 1>But all we're doing is to get to the parts,

0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:02.840
<v Speaker 1>so we could then describe the parts and see them

0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:05.240
<v Speaker 1>and you know, like and do that kind of thing. Right.

0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:08.400
<v Speaker 1>We the project ended up going nowhere really, I mean

0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:10.760
<v Speaker 1>it was a lot of it was fun. We spent

0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:12.840
<v Speaker 1>several days doing this, but it was kind of a junk.

0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:16.360
<v Speaker 1>It was a junk card up with a ton of parts.

0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:18.920
<v Speaker 1>I got bins and bins and bins and parts, you know,

0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:22.600
<v Speaker 1>like pistons and rings and the crank shaft and cam

0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:24.160
<v Speaker 1>shaft and you know, all the stuff. I got all

0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:26.360
<v Speaker 1>these like heavy metal parts I've got. I've got the

0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:29.280
<v Speaker 1>head sitting in a bin. But all that stuff has

0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:32.200
<v Speaker 1>been in my garage for years and years, almost a

0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:35.880
<v Speaker 1>decade almost, Yeah, it's been. It's getting close, and um,

0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:37.640
<v Speaker 1>I finally got rid of it. I just took it

0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:39.640
<v Speaker 1>to I tried to get it, you know, to somebody

0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:43.240
<v Speaker 1>that had an MG, and they didn't want it. No

0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:44.920
<v Speaker 1>one wanted the parts. I don't know if they thought

0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:47.480
<v Speaker 1>they were hot or what. No, that wasn't that wasn't it.

0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:49.200
<v Speaker 1>It's just you know, it's very specific and you don't

0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:51.160
<v Speaker 1>know the quality, you know, the condition of all the shore.

0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:54.240
<v Speaker 1>It was actually was remarkably well preserved all that stuff

0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:56.440
<v Speaker 1>because it's all oily and you know, so it's it's

0:15:56.440 --> 0:16:00.760
<v Speaker 1>all plain and it's usable. But I could not get

0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:03.120
<v Speaker 1>anybody to take that stuff. So I just finally had

0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:04.920
<v Speaker 1>to scrap some of it. And you know a lot

0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:07.160
<v Speaker 1>of it was beat up in old and bad anyway,

0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:09.320
<v Speaker 1>so I didn't feel too bad about it. But I mean,

0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:11.840
<v Speaker 1>years and years of that stuff sitting around and just

0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:14.720
<v Speaker 1>taking up space. Again, it just feels so good to

0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:17.440
<v Speaker 1>get rid of stuff like that. And I got rid of,

0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:19.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, like a power washer. I got rid of,

0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:21.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, a bunch of stuff that was just clutter

0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:25.040
<v Speaker 1>that's not working anymore. I have to ask, did you

0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:30.400
<v Speaker 1>go did you go to your neighborhood rushing landfill to

0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:34.680
<v Speaker 1>get rid of those parts? I did, and it's changed hands. Yeah,

0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:36.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Have we talked about this again recently,

0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:41.120
<v Speaker 1>not on air? Okay, I went back. I went back

0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:42.920
<v Speaker 1>again to this. I did go to that place, and

0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:46.080
<v Speaker 1>I made several trips, not for just the car parts,

0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:47.920
<v Speaker 1>but for other stuff I had laying around, just you know,

0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:50.720
<v Speaker 1>scrap metal type things. One thing was from the garage door.

0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:53.000
<v Speaker 1>I had a great big greasy bar that was you know,

0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:55.760
<v Speaker 1>like the main bar that the track was on. You know,

0:16:55.800 --> 0:16:57.320
<v Speaker 1>stuff like that I just had a bunch of little

0:16:57.360 --> 0:17:00.400
<v Speaker 1>things laying around an old gas grill, you know, it

0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:03.280
<v Speaker 1>kind of falling apart as a rusty um. But I

0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:06.040
<v Speaker 1>went there and it was it was owned and operated

0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:09.200
<v Speaker 1>by someone new. Now it's not that it's not it's

0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:12.000
<v Speaker 1>not the Russian mafia or whoever was running this place before,

0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:14.600
<v Speaker 1>because I really had that strong feeling that that was

0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:16.439
<v Speaker 1>what was going on there. I really did, and we

0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:20.600
<v Speaker 1>I know, we talked about but it's completely different now. So, um,

0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:23.080
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't quite a uh, it wasn't. It wasn't as

0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:25.680
<v Speaker 1>much fun as it used to be, you know, like, yeah,

0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:27.760
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't. It wasn't as exciting, Like it wasn't as

0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:31.560
<v Speaker 1>thrilling to go back, you know. But um, I don't know.

0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:33.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm still still good though. Oh can I tell you

0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:36.000
<v Speaker 1>one thing that I think maybe I talked Ac Curd

0:17:36.000 --> 0:17:39.840
<v Speaker 1>about this off air, but um, you see crazy things

0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:42.600
<v Speaker 1>at a junkyard, right, So I go there and I

0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:45.080
<v Speaker 1>threw all of my junk, you know, including like an

0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:48.000
<v Speaker 1>old water heater and a gas grill. Like I said,

0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:50.159
<v Speaker 1>all these engine parts and everything, I throw them on

0:17:50.200 --> 0:17:52.479
<v Speaker 1>this pile that is like it's the size of like

0:17:52.920 --> 0:17:56.199
<v Speaker 1>a four story house. It's huge, giant junk pile. Right,

0:17:56.200 --> 0:17:57.800
<v Speaker 1>So I back up to it and I, it's gonna

0:17:57.800 --> 0:18:01.399
<v Speaker 1>heave all this stuff over there. And after I had

0:18:01.480 --> 0:18:04.119
<v Speaker 1>driven away and I got up to the you know

0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:06.840
<v Speaker 1>the area where you get paid almost nothing for your parts, right,

0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:10.440
<v Speaker 1>you're for you know, the weight of your parts. Yeah,

0:18:10.440 --> 0:18:12.800
<v Speaker 1>I get my my check for ten dollars or whatever

0:18:12.840 --> 0:18:16.040
<v Speaker 1>it was and twenty cents I think it was. And

0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:19.920
<v Speaker 1>this is like hundreds of pounds of metal. Right. So

0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:22.919
<v Speaker 1>I look back and I swear to it looked like

0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:25.480
<v Speaker 1>I could hardly even see my pile of stuff there.

0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:27.280
<v Speaker 1>That was you know, it's it's taken up so much

0:18:27.320 --> 0:18:30.280
<v Speaker 1>space in my garage, but on that pile it looked

0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:32.800
<v Speaker 1>like nothing. It looked like a you know, another grain

0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:34.639
<v Speaker 1>of sand on the beach. It was like that. It was.

0:18:34.720 --> 0:18:37.240
<v Speaker 1>It was amazing how small that pile of stuff was.

0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:39.280
<v Speaker 1>And then I was thinking, okay, well this is got

0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:41.399
<v Speaker 1>kind of a rough edge to it, you know, like

0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:43.880
<v Speaker 1>it kind of gets strung out over the over the lot.

0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:47.240
<v Speaker 1>So a guy gets in this uh, this this crane,

0:18:47.520 --> 0:18:50.240
<v Speaker 1>it's almost like not a I guess maybe not a

0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:52.840
<v Speaker 1>front loader, but it's like a crane and it's got

0:18:52.880 --> 0:18:55.280
<v Speaker 1>a grasping arm like a like a pincher, and so

0:18:55.280 --> 0:18:57.359
<v Speaker 1>they can pick up things and move them. So he

0:18:57.400 --> 0:19:00.200
<v Speaker 1>goes over and and kind of motors this thing over

0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:03.040
<v Speaker 1>to the side, and he picks up this ball of

0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:06.280
<v Speaker 1>iron that's like all twisted and tangled up. It looks

0:19:06.280 --> 0:19:09.040
<v Speaker 1>like a Brillo pad, only it's like a Brillo pad

0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:13.040
<v Speaker 1>like the size of like too minivans. It's that big, right,

0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:15.240
<v Speaker 1>and he and he like puts that on the on

0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:18.040
<v Speaker 1>the ground and he starts like wildly swinging the arm

0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:21.119
<v Speaker 1>left and left and right, and he's using this big

0:19:22.000 --> 0:19:25.400
<v Speaker 1>massive metal as like a broom, and he's like sweeping

0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:27.000
<v Speaker 1>the stuff up onto the pile and he would like

0:19:27.080 --> 0:19:29.119
<v Speaker 1>drag it across and then give it kind of like

0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:31.960
<v Speaker 1>a little up lifted end and it would like pick

0:19:32.000 --> 0:19:33.520
<v Speaker 1>stuff up and kind of throw it on the top

0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:35.840
<v Speaker 1>of the pile. But he was just bizarre. It's like

0:19:35.960 --> 0:19:39.200
<v Speaker 1>it's like they're getting to play with these massive toys

0:19:39.240 --> 0:19:41.280
<v Speaker 1>like that. It looks like it looks so much fun

0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:43.680
<v Speaker 1>to be able to do that, and and this this

0:19:44.040 --> 0:19:45.879
<v Speaker 1>way of doing it. I'm sure that other junk heards

0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:48.280
<v Speaker 1>do the same thing. I had never seen this before,

0:19:48.320 --> 0:19:50.680
<v Speaker 1>and that that tangle of metal was so it looks

0:19:50.680 --> 0:19:53.639
<v Speaker 1>so dangerous. So you know, it looks like if you

0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:56.360
<v Speaker 1>got near that thing you would get cut. Maybe, yeah,

0:19:56.359 --> 0:19:58.879
<v Speaker 1>because imagine it's moving at speed. Oh yeah, he's like no,

0:19:58.960 --> 0:20:00.639
<v Speaker 1>I mean even even like I didn't even want to

0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:02.720
<v Speaker 1>approach it, like when it was just sitting still, like

0:20:02.720 --> 0:20:05.480
<v Speaker 1>I didn't want even because it looked like um, just

0:20:05.560 --> 0:20:08.359
<v Speaker 1>like a tangle of weeds almost. But it's but it's metal.

0:20:08.400 --> 0:20:10.920
<v Speaker 1>It's like jagged metal, you know, and that probably makes

0:20:10.920 --> 0:20:14.400
<v Speaker 1>it lighter to swing. Yeah, So how about this man,

0:20:14.640 --> 0:20:17.680
<v Speaker 1>how about the next time you dropped some stuff off there,

0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:20.159
<v Speaker 1>instead of taking a check, you ask if you can

0:20:20.200 --> 0:20:24.400
<v Speaker 1>take a swing with the broom. It's not a bad idea, yeah,

0:20:24.400 --> 0:20:27.240
<v Speaker 1>Like you can keep your ten dollars, But let me

0:20:27.320 --> 0:20:30.040
<v Speaker 1>drive that crane for just a few on the crane,

0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:31.840
<v Speaker 1>it looks like so much fun. I mean, it looks

0:20:31.840 --> 0:20:33.320
<v Speaker 1>like it would be a blast. I'm sure it's just

0:20:33.359 --> 0:20:36.440
<v Speaker 1>another task for them, you know, but sure looks that's

0:20:36.440 --> 0:20:40.119
<v Speaker 1>a crazy thing. How quickly the coolest stuff becomes normal,

0:20:40.800 --> 0:20:43.480
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean? Like I was, I was,

0:20:43.840 --> 0:20:46.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, I've been traveling a lot I was recently

0:20:46.840 --> 0:20:51.600
<v Speaker 1>in a plane flying over the Pacific last week and

0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:54.760
<v Speaker 1>I got irritated because I was trying to work on

0:20:54.800 --> 0:20:58.439
<v Speaker 1>some stuff and I thought, man, this WiFi is being slow,

0:20:58.560 --> 0:21:00.359
<v Speaker 1>and I had to pause for a sect it. I

0:21:00.440 --> 0:21:05.760
<v Speaker 1>was like, Hey, I'm flying like thousands and thousands of

0:21:05.760 --> 0:21:08.640
<v Speaker 1>feet in the air at this crazy speed. You're going

0:21:08.680 --> 0:21:14.359
<v Speaker 1>like six right, And I have the audacity to be

0:21:14.520 --> 0:21:18.359
<v Speaker 1>like to be like, oh no, this page is loading slow,

0:21:18.600 --> 0:21:21.800
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean? It is funny, isn't it.

0:21:21.800 --> 0:21:24.320
<v Speaker 1>How you get like so you you jaded, I guess

0:21:24.600 --> 0:21:27.120
<v Speaker 1>and stuff like that. Yeah, you know, and it's really

0:21:27.119 --> 0:21:30.000
<v Speaker 1>remarkable that you're able to do it at all. Really yeah,

0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:34.439
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh. Before it waxed to philosophic about how

0:21:34.560 --> 0:21:37.800
<v Speaker 1>ungrateful I am as a person in general, I want

0:21:37.800 --> 0:21:40.359
<v Speaker 1>to go back to the point you made about getting

0:21:40.480 --> 0:21:42.919
<v Speaker 1>rid of stuff, because I know it's it can be

0:21:42.960 --> 0:21:44.720
<v Speaker 1>tough for a lot of people to hear. And also

0:21:45.240 --> 0:21:49.080
<v Speaker 1>we're all familiar with Tetris, and Tetris is such a

0:21:49.160 --> 0:21:54.160
<v Speaker 1>useful game because it shows us the value of organizing

0:21:54.280 --> 0:21:57.880
<v Speaker 1>space and putting things where they fit. For a lot

0:21:57.920 --> 0:22:01.560
<v Speaker 1>of people listening today, the problem isn't that there's a

0:22:01.560 --> 0:22:03.639
<v Speaker 1>bunch of stuff that they could get rid of and

0:22:03.680 --> 0:22:06.600
<v Speaker 1>they just haven't. The problem is that there's stuff you

0:22:06.720 --> 0:22:09.320
<v Speaker 1>have to keep and you have nowhere else to put it.

0:22:09.720 --> 0:22:12.359
<v Speaker 1>So I want to say, you don't have to throw

0:22:12.920 --> 0:22:16.920
<v Speaker 1>everything in your garage way, really, why not just invest

0:22:17.320 --> 0:22:21.960
<v Speaker 1>in some organizational tools? Yeah, and you know what, Online

0:22:22.119 --> 0:22:23.919
<v Speaker 1>is a beautiful place to be able to do this

0:22:23.920 --> 0:22:25.800
<v Speaker 1>because you can you can go and to kind of

0:22:25.880 --> 0:22:28.159
<v Speaker 1>lay out your plans or lay out your ideas. And

0:22:28.200 --> 0:22:30.320
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't have to be expensive. I can tell you that.

0:22:30.560 --> 0:22:33.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there there are some ridiculously expensive cabinets and

0:22:34.040 --> 0:22:37.840
<v Speaker 1>countertops and all. There's there's the opposite end of the

0:22:37.840 --> 0:22:42.160
<v Speaker 1>spectrum for all this stuff. So you can get affordable cabinets,

0:22:42.240 --> 0:22:44.760
<v Speaker 1>you can buy pre made shelving, or you can make

0:22:44.800 --> 0:22:46.800
<v Speaker 1>your own. You can you know, d I y this thing?

0:22:46.800 --> 0:22:49.240
<v Speaker 1>You know, so send your blocks into two by fours,

0:22:49.400 --> 0:22:52.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean really, milk crates and and you know boards.

0:22:52.680 --> 0:22:55.160
<v Speaker 1>That's all you need, really, I mean, honestly, that's all

0:22:55.200 --> 0:22:57.360
<v Speaker 1>you really need. It's so simple. You can you can

0:22:57.400 --> 0:23:00.639
<v Speaker 1>do a lot with what you have already, or you

0:23:00.680 --> 0:23:03.520
<v Speaker 1>can just kind of make what you have work. A

0:23:03.560 --> 0:23:05.920
<v Speaker 1>little bit better for you. I mean think about storage,

0:23:06.000 --> 0:23:08.200
<v Speaker 1>like maybe storing things. You know, if your garage door

0:23:08.200 --> 0:23:09.640
<v Speaker 1>goes up, but you've got you know, like a nine

0:23:09.640 --> 0:23:13.440
<v Speaker 1>foot ceiling, you've probably got unused space above the garage door.

0:23:13.480 --> 0:23:15.960
<v Speaker 1>You know that one interfere exact or stuff up there,

0:23:16.000 --> 0:23:18.040
<v Speaker 1>like you know they have hanging racks. You can do that,

0:23:18.640 --> 0:23:21.720
<v Speaker 1>or you can simply I saw the coolest idea you

0:23:21.840 --> 0:23:25.159
<v Speaker 1>just make. It's almost like like wouldn't eye beams almost

0:23:26.040 --> 0:23:28.479
<v Speaker 1>and you can slide your bins onto those things and

0:23:28.480 --> 0:23:30.240
<v Speaker 1>you can slide you know, I guess you can put

0:23:30.240 --> 0:23:31.959
<v Speaker 1>a stop on one so they don't slide off. But

0:23:32.040 --> 0:23:34.520
<v Speaker 1>you can access all that stuff really easily. I mean

0:23:34.560 --> 0:23:36.399
<v Speaker 1>you're not pulling down that you have to pull the

0:23:36.400 --> 0:23:38.919
<v Speaker 1>whole bin down, but think about putting stuff up there.

0:23:38.960 --> 0:23:41.080
<v Speaker 1>Like I think the recommendation was, like, you know, stuff

0:23:41.080 --> 0:23:44.120
<v Speaker 1>you don't use very often, like seasonal things, camping gear,

0:23:44.320 --> 0:23:46.879
<v Speaker 1>things like that that you know you only need a

0:23:46.880 --> 0:23:48.960
<v Speaker 1>few times a year or even once a year, but

0:23:49.000 --> 0:23:50.359
<v Speaker 1>it's a great place to put it. I mean, if

0:23:50.400 --> 0:23:52.119
<v Speaker 1>you don't have a basement, or you don't have an

0:23:52.119 --> 0:23:53.960
<v Speaker 1>addic storage or something like that that you know that

0:23:53.960 --> 0:23:57.480
<v Speaker 1>that space above your door is valuable space that's being

0:23:57.680 --> 0:23:59.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, left unused and and a lot of people

0:23:59.680 --> 0:24:02.600
<v Speaker 1>just kind overlooked that one prime real estate. On this note,

0:24:02.840 --> 0:24:05.399
<v Speaker 1>I want to show you guys something. This made me

0:24:05.440 --> 0:24:07.600
<v Speaker 1>feel like a genius when I read that someone else

0:24:07.640 --> 0:24:11.000
<v Speaker 1>had done this online. When I was a kid growing up,

0:24:11.160 --> 0:24:14.920
<v Speaker 1>one of the dumbest parts of our garage was the

0:24:14.960 --> 0:24:17.479
<v Speaker 1>corner where we just had to throw all like the

0:24:17.560 --> 0:24:20.160
<v Speaker 1>rakes and the shovels and the pics and the hose

0:24:20.280 --> 0:24:23.160
<v Speaker 1>and stuff because we didn't have a super great place

0:24:23.160 --> 0:24:25.239
<v Speaker 1>to put it, and we didn't have room to you know,

0:24:25.320 --> 0:24:29.360
<v Speaker 1>make a corkboard hanging wall. But we had this idea

0:24:29.760 --> 0:24:32.600
<v Speaker 1>where we had small palettes laying around and we put

0:24:32.600 --> 0:24:34.880
<v Speaker 1>one up on its side and we did this. I'm

0:24:34.880 --> 0:24:38.720
<v Speaker 1>showing Scott the picture here. Uh you want to describe that. Yeah,

0:24:38.760 --> 0:24:41.879
<v Speaker 1>it's just it's it's up against um um exposed studs

0:24:41.880 --> 0:24:44.480
<v Speaker 1>on the wall. But it it gives you a space.

0:24:44.680 --> 0:24:46.840
<v Speaker 1>It like carves out of space there if you put

0:24:46.840 --> 0:24:49.400
<v Speaker 1>the palette up against the wall vertically and nail in place,

0:24:49.400 --> 0:24:52.040
<v Speaker 1>scrutin place, or whatever gives you a place to put

0:24:52.040 --> 0:24:55.440
<v Speaker 1>those long handled tools that you know, are oftentimes either

0:24:55.600 --> 0:24:57.960
<v Speaker 1>just leaning against the wall or you know whatever. I

0:24:58.000 --> 0:25:00.720
<v Speaker 1>made my own tool rack, not like that, but the

0:25:00.800 --> 0:25:03.280
<v Speaker 1>kind with like just hooks that you can hang things on,

0:25:03.320 --> 0:25:05.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, like you'd buy them for like maybe uh,

0:25:05.800 --> 0:25:07.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, hanging a bike on the ceiling or something

0:25:07.600 --> 0:25:09.320
<v Speaker 1>like that. You make all different shapes, and I got

0:25:09.320 --> 0:25:11.800
<v Speaker 1>some that are shaped like, um, almost like a y

0:25:12.080 --> 0:25:13.679
<v Speaker 1>that has a little bit of a lip to it.

0:25:13.680 --> 0:25:16.200
<v Speaker 1>And I screwed it two by four to the wall

0:25:16.760 --> 0:25:19.200
<v Speaker 1>and into the stud so it's really really solid. And

0:25:19.720 --> 0:25:21.280
<v Speaker 1>I hung up my tools on that you know, on

0:25:21.320 --> 0:25:23.439
<v Speaker 1>these rats on these spaced everything out and you know,

0:25:23.480 --> 0:25:25.680
<v Speaker 1>measured it all out so everything goes right where it

0:25:25.720 --> 0:25:27.840
<v Speaker 1>should so that you know, it doesn't interfere with the

0:25:27.880 --> 0:25:29.560
<v Speaker 1>tool next to it, doesn't knock it down every time

0:25:29.600 --> 0:25:32.200
<v Speaker 1>you take it off. And then I did this cool

0:25:32.280 --> 0:25:34.840
<v Speaker 1>thing where, um, I think this is cool. Anyways, I

0:25:35.080 --> 0:25:37.399
<v Speaker 1>hung up just an eye hook and I put a

0:25:37.400 --> 0:25:40.480
<v Speaker 1>carabeener through it with a little loop on the end.

0:25:40.760 --> 0:25:42.520
<v Speaker 1>And then on every power tool that I have, like

0:25:42.520 --> 0:25:45.640
<v Speaker 1>my leaf blower it's an electric leaf blow or trimmer,

0:25:45.720 --> 0:25:49.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, electric trimmer, I tied a corresponding loop on

0:25:49.880 --> 0:25:52.760
<v Speaker 1>that object that stays on there all the time. It's

0:25:52.760 --> 0:25:55.119
<v Speaker 1>just a little maybe like a foot long piece of

0:25:55.200 --> 0:25:57.199
<v Speaker 1>rope that I tied into a loop and then all

0:25:57.200 --> 0:25:58.240
<v Speaker 1>I have to do is just hook it on the

0:25:58.280 --> 0:26:00.639
<v Speaker 1>carabeener and that hangs dead. Then those hang down below

0:26:01.240 --> 0:26:03.840
<v Speaker 1>in that in that void space in between the tools,

0:26:04.440 --> 0:26:07.919
<v Speaker 1>so like it's all it's all like, it's really, it's

0:26:07.920 --> 0:26:11.200
<v Speaker 1>sorry toot my own horn here, but it's it's it's

0:26:11.240 --> 0:26:13.399
<v Speaker 1>really I feel like it's well laid out. And I

0:26:13.480 --> 0:26:17.600
<v Speaker 1>tried to like use that idea or that that way

0:26:17.600 --> 0:26:20.159
<v Speaker 1>of dealing with things to organize the rest of the garage,

0:26:20.160 --> 0:26:21.760
<v Speaker 1>and it's gone pretty well so far. I mean I've

0:26:21.760 --> 0:26:25.159
<v Speaker 1>been able to figure things out and place things accordingly

0:26:25.240 --> 0:26:26.480
<v Speaker 1>so that you know, it all fits. Like you said,

0:26:26.520 --> 0:26:29.919
<v Speaker 1>like tetris, you know it gives you, um, I don't know.

0:26:29.920 --> 0:26:32.679
<v Speaker 1>It just gives you a um, a much more open

0:26:33.200 --> 0:26:36.200
<v Speaker 1>feel to it, and it allows you again to access

0:26:36.240 --> 0:26:38.680
<v Speaker 1>anything you want right at you know, a moment's notice,

0:26:38.680 --> 0:26:40.320
<v Speaker 1>and you know right where everything is. And the good

0:26:40.320 --> 0:26:42.959
<v Speaker 1>thing about something like that, a lot of people will,

0:26:43.680 --> 0:26:45.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, they'll think like, well, big deal. You can

0:26:45.880 --> 0:26:47.800
<v Speaker 1>buy it an old bucket and throw your tools in that.

0:26:47.800 --> 0:26:50.600
<v Speaker 1>That's fine, but that takes up a lot of floor space. Yeah,

0:26:50.600 --> 0:26:52.639
<v Speaker 1>and so so that's a smart way to do it,

0:26:52.680 --> 0:26:54.720
<v Speaker 1>like you and your family have done or did in

0:26:54.720 --> 0:26:56.440
<v Speaker 1>the past. I don't know if your dad still does

0:26:56.480 --> 0:26:59.000
<v Speaker 1>that or what, but still using the old the palette

0:26:59.000 --> 0:27:03.199
<v Speaker 1>there against man, he's he's retired, so that means that

0:27:03.240 --> 0:27:08.960
<v Speaker 1>the garage is getting this crazy, crazy mop down. Yeah. Yeah,

0:27:09.200 --> 0:27:13.320
<v Speaker 1>he went through Gosh, I guess starting about a year

0:27:13.320 --> 0:27:16.480
<v Speaker 1>and a half ago, he started getting rid of stuff,

0:27:16.640 --> 0:27:19.080
<v Speaker 1>and uh, I thought that was cool. But you know,

0:27:19.240 --> 0:27:22.919
<v Speaker 1>anybody who has had parents or family members start cleaning

0:27:23.040 --> 0:27:25.399
<v Speaker 1>stuff out of the house, you know what happens. I

0:27:25.480 --> 0:27:29.000
<v Speaker 1>was getting calls like once or twice a week just

0:27:29.000 --> 0:27:32.040
<v Speaker 1>just to pitch me on whether I wanted this ridiculous item.

0:27:32.200 --> 0:27:35.359
<v Speaker 1>And he's like, you know, hey, I've got this this tiller.

0:27:35.520 --> 0:27:37.280
<v Speaker 1>Do you want a tiller? And I'm thinking, well, that's

0:27:37.560 --> 0:27:39.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know where I'm gonna put that in my

0:27:39.000 --> 0:27:42.480
<v Speaker 1>two bedroom apartment. But I appreciate the thing is like,

0:27:42.520 --> 0:27:44.920
<v Speaker 1>you hate to see stuff like that go. Yeah, exactly.

0:27:45.000 --> 0:27:47.520
<v Speaker 1>It's like he doesn't need it anymore, but he doesn't

0:27:47.520 --> 0:27:49.399
<v Speaker 1>and he doesn't want to just give the thing away,

0:27:49.480 --> 0:27:55.080
<v Speaker 1>and he's got two tillers you don't need to with

0:27:55.160 --> 0:27:57.439
<v Speaker 1>like my gas girl. Okay, gas girls laying around, but

0:27:57.440 --> 0:28:00.480
<v Speaker 1>it's a it's a pile of garbage. But eventually just

0:28:00.480 --> 0:28:01.919
<v Speaker 1>had to just get rid of it for you know,

0:28:01.960 --> 0:28:04.040
<v Speaker 1>the scrap metal, and no one wanted it. I mean

0:28:04.080 --> 0:28:06.359
<v Speaker 1>and no one. I probably wouldn't feel good giving it

0:28:06.440 --> 0:28:08.119
<v Speaker 1>to somebody even you know, it's just that in that

0:28:08.200 --> 0:28:10.440
<v Speaker 1>pour of condition, and I had another one that had

0:28:10.480 --> 0:28:12.119
<v Speaker 1>replaced it, so why not get rid of that one?

0:28:12.160 --> 0:28:14.160
<v Speaker 1>It just makes sense, like if you can just kind

0:28:14.160 --> 0:28:16.679
<v Speaker 1>of pair things down a little bit in there and

0:28:16.720 --> 0:28:19.160
<v Speaker 1>give yourself some rooms, some elbow room, because now I've

0:28:19.200 --> 0:28:23.119
<v Speaker 1>got a a small it's a modest size work area.

0:28:23.400 --> 0:28:25.400
<v Speaker 1>It's not very big at all, and I've I've even

0:28:25.400 --> 0:28:26.879
<v Speaker 1>got some things on there that I still want to

0:28:26.880 --> 0:28:29.320
<v Speaker 1>get rid of, you know, some bench type things that

0:28:29.359 --> 0:28:31.080
<v Speaker 1>I kind of want to get rid of and clear

0:28:31.119 --> 0:28:33.520
<v Speaker 1>out the area. But it's so nice to have a

0:28:33.600 --> 0:28:36.480
<v Speaker 1>functional space to work in again. And I really do

0:28:36.560 --> 0:28:38.760
<v Speaker 1>appreciate that, you know, having that space to go to

0:28:39.320 --> 0:28:41.800
<v Speaker 1>and you know sometimes after I'm done, you know, working

0:28:41.840 --> 0:28:43.560
<v Speaker 1>on the yard or whatever, just kind of hang out

0:28:43.560 --> 0:28:46.120
<v Speaker 1>in there. It's it's not a bad place. I put

0:28:46.120 --> 0:28:50.800
<v Speaker 1>a stereo in, yeah, you know. And that's another thing

0:28:50.840 --> 0:28:52.960
<v Speaker 1>like this is so simple, you know when it cost

0:28:53.000 --> 0:28:55.720
<v Speaker 1>me to put a stereo on my garage, like less

0:28:55.720 --> 0:28:59.520
<v Speaker 1>than forty bucks probably, and it's it's pretty cool. It's

0:28:59.560 --> 0:29:01.760
<v Speaker 1>like a ken Would sound system that I went and

0:29:01.760 --> 0:29:03.920
<v Speaker 1>got it. I got it like a goodwill or thrift

0:29:03.920 --> 0:29:06.440
<v Speaker 1>store or something like that. It's a great receiver. Um.

0:29:06.480 --> 0:29:08.440
<v Speaker 1>I was looking for one of the old dial in types,

0:29:08.480 --> 0:29:10.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, with like the the old real old school

0:29:10.520 --> 0:29:13.200
<v Speaker 1>silver front you know, I think I couldn't find one.

0:29:13.400 --> 0:29:15.920
<v Speaker 1>They were too expensive when I did. This one is

0:29:15.760 --> 0:29:18.200
<v Speaker 1>a you know, a really nice system. I don't know.

0:29:18.200 --> 0:29:19.880
<v Speaker 1>I have to model a number in front of me

0:29:20.000 --> 0:29:21.760
<v Speaker 1>right now. But um, I was able to get some

0:29:21.800 --> 0:29:24.400
<v Speaker 1>floor speakers, you know, like those old floor speakers, the

0:29:24.440 --> 0:29:28.920
<v Speaker 1>big ones, um killer speakers. They're really really cool and

0:29:29.240 --> 0:29:32.320
<v Speaker 1>they look cool. And again I think they're I think

0:29:32.320 --> 0:29:33.920
<v Speaker 1>they're ken Would. I think it's a matching, said, I

0:29:33.920 --> 0:29:36.720
<v Speaker 1>can't remember now, um, but I just put them on

0:29:36.760 --> 0:29:38.479
<v Speaker 1>top of a shelf somewhere. I've got four of them.

0:29:38.480 --> 0:29:40.320
<v Speaker 1>I've only I only put up two and that's more

0:29:40.360 --> 0:29:43.480
<v Speaker 1>than enough. You only need one really and barely turned

0:29:43.480 --> 0:29:45.040
<v Speaker 1>the volume up on the thing because in the garage,

0:29:45.040 --> 0:29:47.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's pretty that goes, yeah, it does, so

0:29:47.400 --> 0:29:49.520
<v Speaker 1>you know you just have it on soft. But um,

0:29:49.560 --> 0:29:51.520
<v Speaker 1>it's nice and it and it passes the time, and

0:29:51.560 --> 0:29:54.479
<v Speaker 1>it's something it's so simple to do. It is so

0:29:54.520 --> 0:29:57.600
<v Speaker 1>inexpensive to to move like an old stereo out there

0:29:57.680 --> 0:30:00.560
<v Speaker 1>or just something cheap. You can get them anywhere really

0:30:00.560 --> 0:30:03.200
<v Speaker 1>for just a few bucks. It just makes it that

0:30:03.280 --> 0:30:05.480
<v Speaker 1>much more pleasant to be out there for a longer

0:30:05.520 --> 0:30:07.480
<v Speaker 1>period of time, whether you're working on something, you know,

0:30:07.560 --> 0:30:10.560
<v Speaker 1>just kind of tune everything out and and get to work.

0:30:10.560 --> 0:30:13.200
<v Speaker 1>It's it's nice. Yeah. I think that's when you know

0:30:13.320 --> 0:30:16.480
<v Speaker 1>you're going in the right direction. It's when you reach

0:30:16.560 --> 0:30:19.640
<v Speaker 1>the point with the garage where you walk in and

0:30:19.680 --> 0:30:21.960
<v Speaker 1>you think, yeah, I get just hang out here for

0:30:22.000 --> 0:30:23.840
<v Speaker 1>a second, you know what I mean. That's when you

0:30:23.880 --> 0:30:25.720
<v Speaker 1>know that you've done something right. I do also want

0:30:25.760 --> 0:30:29.760
<v Speaker 1>to add to that excellent point about using the ceiling

0:30:29.880 --> 0:30:33.160
<v Speaker 1>is real estate. It's depending on the type of ceiling

0:30:33.200 --> 0:30:35.840
<v Speaker 1>you have and the type of type of hooks you're

0:30:35.880 --> 0:30:38.480
<v Speaker 1>able to get in there. It's a fantastic place to

0:30:38.520 --> 0:30:41.760
<v Speaker 1>put ladders. Oh yeah, yeah, that's another thing to get

0:30:41.800 --> 0:30:44.400
<v Speaker 1>all that stuff up off the floor if you can. Yeah,

0:30:44.480 --> 0:30:46.960
<v Speaker 1>because it just takes up space. It's just usable real

0:30:47.080 --> 0:30:49.600
<v Speaker 1>estate that you're that you're losing if you have, you know,

0:30:49.680 --> 0:30:51.440
<v Speaker 1>especially a ladder, big ladder, you have it kind of

0:30:51.520 --> 0:30:54.360
<v Speaker 1>leaning against the wall takes up even more room if

0:30:54.440 --> 0:30:56.440
<v Speaker 1>it has to stand out from the wall and lean

0:30:56.480 --> 0:30:59.680
<v Speaker 1>against it. Um if you understand, I mean, the footprint

0:30:59.720 --> 0:31:01.720
<v Speaker 1>of it becomes bigger because of that. I mean if

0:31:01.760 --> 0:31:03.480
<v Speaker 1>you can somehow get it up against the wall or

0:31:03.480 --> 0:31:06.080
<v Speaker 1>even off the floor, all the better. You know. Again,

0:31:06.160 --> 0:31:09.440
<v Speaker 1>just simple hooks. I mean, hooks have saved me so

0:31:09.560 --> 0:31:11.800
<v Speaker 1>much space in my garage. Is it's unbelievable. And I

0:31:11.840 --> 0:31:14.080
<v Speaker 1>don't even have like a big fancy wall system or

0:31:14.080 --> 0:31:16.680
<v Speaker 1>anything like that. It's just an open shelving unit and

0:31:16.720 --> 0:31:20.400
<v Speaker 1>it's like very industrial looking. It's very it's just you know,

0:31:20.800 --> 0:31:23.320
<v Speaker 1>very functional. But it's not like covered. I don't have

0:31:23.360 --> 0:31:25.760
<v Speaker 1>everything like concealed or anything like that. In fact, I

0:31:25.840 --> 0:31:27.640
<v Speaker 1>wish I did. I wish there was a you know,

0:31:28.120 --> 0:31:29.840
<v Speaker 1>I know, I could just put up like a piece

0:31:29.880 --> 0:31:31.920
<v Speaker 1>of cloth over it or something and that would conceal it.

0:31:31.960 --> 0:31:34.040
<v Speaker 1>If you wanted a cleaner look to it. No man,

0:31:34.120 --> 0:31:37.280
<v Speaker 1>go crazy, get like a Murphy bed type mechanism, you

0:31:37.360 --> 0:31:40.600
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean, It pulls down. Yeah, that's That's

0:31:40.640 --> 0:31:42.640
<v Speaker 1>one of the things I'm probably gonna build when I

0:31:42.680 --> 0:31:45.320
<v Speaker 1>get a garage that is my own again, I'm gonna

0:31:45.400 --> 0:31:48.640
<v Speaker 1>build some fold down tables. They're super simple to build

0:31:49.040 --> 0:31:52.440
<v Speaker 1>and they're great for space management because the last garage

0:31:52.480 --> 0:31:56.120
<v Speaker 1>I had was from a house built in the nineteen

0:31:56.240 --> 0:31:59.239
<v Speaker 1>sixties and the garage was just smaller than a lot

0:31:59.280 --> 0:32:01.800
<v Speaker 1>of garages you'd seat now, so so I had to

0:32:01.840 --> 0:32:04.400
<v Speaker 1>do stuff like that. It's very narrow, right, Yeah, it's

0:32:04.400 --> 0:32:08.720
<v Speaker 1>pretty narrow. It's like it was. So it was essentially

0:32:09.240 --> 0:32:13.400
<v Speaker 1>a car poard where someone had put some just enough

0:32:13.440 --> 0:32:15.360
<v Speaker 1>of a wall up that you could say it was

0:32:15.400 --> 0:32:18.760
<v Speaker 1>a garage. So it wasn't insulated. It's probably like the

0:32:19.440 --> 0:32:22.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, the the bottom half of the wall was

0:32:22.520 --> 0:32:25.120
<v Speaker 1>brick from where the car poard originally was, and then

0:32:25.120 --> 0:32:28.840
<v Speaker 1>the rest was like would and would That was that

0:32:29.000 --> 0:32:31.880
<v Speaker 1>was treated, you know, anxiety on the outside. It wasn't

0:32:32.320 --> 0:32:35.440
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't just straight up plywood, like it didn't look

0:32:35.480 --> 0:32:37.440
<v Speaker 1>like I lived in a in a drug dealer's house,

0:32:37.720 --> 0:32:40.120
<v Speaker 1>but it was so small that it was it was

0:32:40.160 --> 0:32:43.440
<v Speaker 1>crowded to parks like a Honda Civic in there, you

0:32:43.480 --> 0:32:45.320
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean. So I needed to have those

0:32:45.360 --> 0:32:48.360
<v Speaker 1>full down shelves whenever I was going to do anything.

0:32:48.600 --> 0:32:51.080
<v Speaker 1>And I also had to going back to being ungrateful,

0:32:51.240 --> 0:32:53.760
<v Speaker 1>I used to complain when I would have to back

0:32:53.880 --> 0:32:56.400
<v Speaker 1>the car out and work on it in the driveway

0:32:56.440 --> 0:32:59.120
<v Speaker 1>because I had to set up everything else inside the

0:32:59.160 --> 0:33:02.560
<v Speaker 1>actual garage. But man, that is way better than replacing

0:33:02.600 --> 0:33:05.200
<v Speaker 1>stuff in a parking lot. Oh yeah, it definitely is.

0:33:05.200 --> 0:33:07.280
<v Speaker 1>And you know some people do have to do that.

0:33:07.320 --> 0:33:09.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's a that's the thing we and again, Kurt,

0:33:09.640 --> 0:33:12.280
<v Speaker 1>we talked about this off air. Maybe we should talk

0:33:12.280 --> 0:33:14.360
<v Speaker 1>about it right now on area. I mean, what we're there,

0:33:14.760 --> 0:33:19.840
<v Speaker 1>um portable garages. People buy portable garages. This is crazy. Now.

0:33:20.280 --> 0:33:22.360
<v Speaker 1>I guess it wouldn't be a place you'd normally want

0:33:22.360 --> 0:33:24.320
<v Speaker 1>to kind of go hang out or anything, but I

0:33:24.400 --> 0:33:26.600
<v Speaker 1>think it's it would be uh smart to mention these

0:33:26.680 --> 0:33:29.560
<v Speaker 1>right now. So what did what did you find? Well?

0:33:29.600 --> 0:33:31.560
<v Speaker 1>I was just thinking, you know, sometimes you have a

0:33:31.560 --> 0:33:33.840
<v Speaker 1>project going on. It might be a two day job,

0:33:34.000 --> 0:33:36.680
<v Speaker 1>or it might even bleed over into the next weekend

0:33:37.040 --> 0:33:39.600
<v Speaker 1>and you don't have a garage, so you would want

0:33:39.680 --> 0:33:44.040
<v Speaker 1>some covering for the car elements so you can't leave

0:33:44.080 --> 0:33:46.200
<v Speaker 1>things as they are as well, you don't want to

0:33:46.240 --> 0:33:48.120
<v Speaker 1>have to button everything up just to take it back

0:33:48.160 --> 0:33:51.720
<v Speaker 1>apart again. Yeah, exactly. I've seen some, you know, there's

0:33:51.760 --> 0:33:55.000
<v Speaker 1>some real basically tents. Yeah. I don't know how well

0:33:55.000 --> 0:33:57.520
<v Speaker 1>they work, though, I get the idea that they're not

0:33:57.720 --> 0:34:00.560
<v Speaker 1>too stable. You want to check the weather before you

0:34:00.880 --> 0:34:04.480
<v Speaker 1>did this type of activity. I've looked into these because

0:34:04.520 --> 0:34:07.040
<v Speaker 1>of our discussion, so I looked into these, and you know,

0:34:07.080 --> 0:34:10.279
<v Speaker 1>these these portable or temporary garages are a thing that

0:34:10.320 --> 0:34:12.880
<v Speaker 1>people do want. Typically they'll have like a steel frame

0:34:12.920 --> 0:34:17.319
<v Speaker 1>with a fabric cover. Although that covering that's where a

0:34:17.360 --> 0:34:20.440
<v Speaker 1>lot of this changes. I mean the the the sturdiness

0:34:20.520 --> 0:34:23.480
<v Speaker 1>of the frame and the fabric that covers it. So

0:34:23.600 --> 0:34:25.759
<v Speaker 1>you know whether it's a weather proof, whether it's you know,

0:34:26.000 --> 0:34:28.600
<v Speaker 1>um it's opaque enough that you know no sun like

0:34:28.680 --> 0:34:31.040
<v Speaker 1>gets through, or if all the sun like gets through,

0:34:31.080 --> 0:34:32.799
<v Speaker 1>you know, like like you think about like a tent

0:34:32.960 --> 0:34:36.480
<v Speaker 1>or something. You know, there's every variation, there's everything in between,

0:34:36.640 --> 0:34:40.320
<v Speaker 1>so um, you can find one. I mean like they

0:34:40.400 --> 0:34:42.440
<v Speaker 1>come in like barn style or you know whatever. They

0:34:42.440 --> 0:34:44.080
<v Speaker 1>have like a little pitched roof on them so that

0:34:44.120 --> 0:34:46.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, if there is weather, rain or snow, that

0:34:46.920 --> 0:34:49.120
<v Speaker 1>it would kind of like rush off the eaves. I

0:34:49.120 --> 0:34:51.520
<v Speaker 1>guess off the roofline, I should say, so it doesn't

0:34:51.520 --> 0:34:53.600
<v Speaker 1>get you know, heavy weight up there and collapse, because

0:34:53.600 --> 0:34:55.279
<v Speaker 1>I think that would be a real danger with something

0:34:55.320 --> 0:34:58.319
<v Speaker 1>like this um or even high winds. I mean, they're

0:34:58.360 --> 0:35:01.839
<v Speaker 1>not for everybody, and they're not for are all situations.

0:35:01.960 --> 0:35:04.840
<v Speaker 1>But you can get one that's like twelve by twenty

0:35:04.960 --> 0:35:07.360
<v Speaker 1>by I think about nine ft tall for you know,

0:35:07.719 --> 0:35:11.160
<v Speaker 1>a ballpark around a thousand dollars and that's pretty pricey still.

0:35:11.200 --> 0:35:13.319
<v Speaker 1>But if you don't have an area to do what

0:35:13.360 --> 0:35:15.520
<v Speaker 1>you were describing, Kurt, where you can you know, tear

0:35:15.560 --> 0:35:17.759
<v Speaker 1>something apart and leave it apart for a day or

0:35:17.800 --> 0:35:20.440
<v Speaker 1>two if you have to or exposed or you know

0:35:20.480 --> 0:35:22.040
<v Speaker 1>whatever you're happy to be working on. You know, you

0:35:22.080 --> 0:35:23.600
<v Speaker 1>want it protected or you want to you know, you

0:35:23.600 --> 0:35:25.080
<v Speaker 1>want to protect yourself. You don't want to be out

0:35:25.080 --> 0:35:27.759
<v Speaker 1>in the in the the elements doing this. It's a

0:35:27.760 --> 0:35:31.080
<v Speaker 1>great solution and they can stay up for extended periods

0:35:31.080 --> 0:35:33.600
<v Speaker 1>of time. I mean with some level of confidence that

0:35:33.600 --> 0:35:35.600
<v Speaker 1>it's going to remain in place if you anchor them

0:35:35.640 --> 0:35:38.040
<v Speaker 1>correctly and weigh them down and all that, you know,

0:35:38.080 --> 0:35:39.680
<v Speaker 1>and if you get to like the big ones. There

0:35:39.680 --> 0:35:41.640
<v Speaker 1>are some big industrial size ones that are you know,

0:35:41.680 --> 0:35:44.480
<v Speaker 1>like forty ft or more. I mean we're talking like

0:35:44.840 --> 0:35:47.200
<v Speaker 1>twelve thousand dollars for some of these. I mean, at

0:35:47.200 --> 0:35:50.759
<v Speaker 1>what point do we stop calling those things portable garages

0:35:50.800 --> 0:35:55.120
<v Speaker 1>and started calling them portable barns because there's really big ones,

0:35:55.640 --> 0:35:58.240
<v Speaker 1>like some of those are the size of a small shop.

0:35:58.360 --> 0:36:00.200
<v Speaker 1>Well sure, yeah, some of them. You see, like you'll

0:36:00.200 --> 0:36:01.759
<v Speaker 1>see a photo of the one that I was just

0:36:01.760 --> 0:36:05.400
<v Speaker 1>talking about, the twelve one, and someone's driving a forklift

0:36:05.440 --> 0:36:07.880
<v Speaker 1>into it to store lumber or you know whatever it was.

0:36:07.920 --> 0:36:11.160
<v Speaker 1>It could be a temporary outbuilding for a company. You know,

0:36:11.200 --> 0:36:14.719
<v Speaker 1>they're that they're that big, like a pre manufactured garage. Yeah,

0:36:14.760 --> 0:36:17.960
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, yeah, exactly right, Yeah, it's like exactly and

0:36:18.239 --> 0:36:20.879
<v Speaker 1>it's something that's they say it's portable. I mean it's

0:36:21.280 --> 0:36:23.640
<v Speaker 1>that's that's kind of an iffy term for something like

0:36:23.640 --> 0:36:26.600
<v Speaker 1>it's big, right, But I mean it's more portable than

0:36:26.800 --> 0:36:30.280
<v Speaker 1>a garage that is attached to a house. I guess,

0:36:30.880 --> 0:36:33.560
<v Speaker 1>I guess it is more portable than that. Yeah, So anyways,

0:36:33.680 --> 0:36:37.160
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a good solution for some people, but um,

0:36:37.360 --> 0:36:39.279
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't work in every situation, and they are kind

0:36:39.280 --> 0:36:41.680
<v Speaker 1>of expensive. But like this is a good place to

0:36:41.680 --> 0:36:43.960
<v Speaker 1>mention this anyway, for the parking lot type or the

0:36:44.120 --> 0:36:46.560
<v Speaker 1>out in the street type that does their work in

0:36:46.600 --> 0:36:48.919
<v Speaker 1>that environment. You know, how many times do you get

0:36:48.920 --> 0:36:51.960
<v Speaker 1>involved in a project that takes you longer than you

0:36:51.960 --> 0:36:54.600
<v Speaker 1>thought it was gonna be kind of like wrap everything

0:36:54.680 --> 0:36:57.360
<v Speaker 1>up real quick and then go back home for the

0:36:57.440 --> 0:37:00.040
<v Speaker 1>night or whatever. How many companies now are doing like

0:37:00.719 --> 0:37:03.279
<v Speaker 1>dent repair and things like that in parking lots, you know,

0:37:03.320 --> 0:37:04.880
<v Speaker 1>like they'll come to your office and do that, or

0:37:04.920 --> 0:37:08.920
<v Speaker 1>wheel repairs. That might be a decent use for something

0:37:08.960 --> 0:37:10.880
<v Speaker 1>like that where you want to keep you know, like

0:37:11.080 --> 0:37:13.120
<v Speaker 1>bugs and debris and stuff like that off of it,

0:37:13.200 --> 0:37:15.719
<v Speaker 1>or if it's raining that you can't do that work,

0:37:15.719 --> 0:37:17.799
<v Speaker 1>and if it's raining, but you could set up a

0:37:17.800 --> 0:37:20.960
<v Speaker 1>temporary shelter around the vehicle if you have that, you know,

0:37:21.080 --> 0:37:23.920
<v Speaker 1>that luxury of space to do it. Going back to

0:37:23.960 --> 0:37:26.800
<v Speaker 1>your point about how portable are these things, Like I

0:37:26.880 --> 0:37:30.400
<v Speaker 1>think we've all seen maybe an emission's shack or something

0:37:30.840 --> 0:37:33.879
<v Speaker 1>that is pretty much one of those. Yeah, yeah, for sure.

0:37:33.880 --> 0:37:35.799
<v Speaker 1>I mean yeah, like we're like, it's just in a

0:37:35.840 --> 0:37:39.800
<v Speaker 1>parking lot somewhere and right you drive through. Yeah yeah,

0:37:40.160 --> 0:37:43.120
<v Speaker 1>I know there are laws and stuff, but I treat

0:37:43.120 --> 0:37:45.839
<v Speaker 1>emissions the way you like to treat landfill. Scott want

0:37:45.840 --> 0:37:50.680
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of edge in there, a shape, I

0:37:50.680 --> 0:37:52.520
<v Speaker 1>will have to look too hard. I want to know.

0:37:54.000 --> 0:37:57.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to know rather whether that emissions place

0:37:57.360 --> 0:37:59.120
<v Speaker 1>is going to be there tomorrow. I just want to

0:37:59.120 --> 0:38:01.920
<v Speaker 1>cruise in, you know, ships in the night. I'm a ghost.

0:38:02.719 --> 0:38:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Just hand me the paper, put me in the system. Right.

0:38:05.160 --> 0:38:06.759
<v Speaker 1>It seems like it seems like most of them are

0:38:06.800 --> 0:38:09.759
<v Speaker 1>that way. Do they really want to even do the

0:38:09.800 --> 0:38:14.280
<v Speaker 1>test or do they just wanna want some exchange. It's different.

0:38:14.920 --> 0:38:17.520
<v Speaker 1>It's different now in Georgia. You guys remember when you

0:38:17.640 --> 0:38:20.960
<v Speaker 1>used to just get the physical badge instead of the

0:38:20.960 --> 0:38:26.440
<v Speaker 1>paper and electronic entry into a system. Sure, man, corruption

0:38:26.640 --> 0:38:29.600
<v Speaker 1>was rife. No I'm not saying I ever did it,

0:38:29.640 --> 0:38:32.360
<v Speaker 1>but I was in so many situations where you'd be

0:38:32.400 --> 0:38:35.600
<v Speaker 1>hanging out with like a mechanic acquaintance, because you know,

0:38:35.680 --> 0:38:40.799
<v Speaker 1>almost every solid mechanic has the garage they work at,

0:38:41.280 --> 0:38:44.000
<v Speaker 1>and then they have their house, which also slowly over

0:38:44.040 --> 0:38:47.520
<v Speaker 1>time turns into another garage. And so I can't tell

0:38:47.520 --> 0:38:49.480
<v Speaker 1>you how many times I had somewhat like I was

0:38:49.920 --> 0:38:51.920
<v Speaker 1>fixing the car of a girl I was dating or

0:38:51.960 --> 0:38:54.000
<v Speaker 1>trying to get it up to the snuff for emissions,

0:38:54.120 --> 0:38:56.320
<v Speaker 1>and that I would have one of my mechanic buddies say,

0:38:57.320 --> 0:39:02.919
<v Speaker 1>you know, we can just get a sticker. It's like, dude,

0:39:02.960 --> 0:39:07.360
<v Speaker 1>I think that's pretty illegal, and they're like, yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:39:07.440 --> 0:39:11.000
<v Speaker 1>but uh but uh, we can just get a sticker.

0:39:11.320 --> 0:39:13.800
<v Speaker 1>And for the record, again, I never did it. I

0:39:13.960 --> 0:39:16.719
<v Speaker 1>never did it because I don't think that's a good move.

0:39:17.640 --> 0:39:22.160
<v Speaker 1>But where was I going with this? I'm not sure exactly. Yeah. Yeah,

0:39:22.239 --> 0:39:27.839
<v Speaker 1>temporary buildings that you that's right, soon, that's what it is. Yeah,

0:39:27.920 --> 0:39:30.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, temporary buildings are a great idea. You guys know,

0:39:30.239 --> 0:39:32.520
<v Speaker 1>there's also this thing that popped up that I had

0:39:32.560 --> 0:39:36.440
<v Speaker 1>never heard of before, communal garages. Oh yeah, yeah yeah.

0:39:36.480 --> 0:39:38.359
<v Speaker 1>So if you don't have the space that you want

0:39:38.400 --> 0:39:41.000
<v Speaker 1>for something like this, so you know, we're exactly the

0:39:41.080 --> 0:39:42.960
<v Speaker 1>right set up, go to a community garage where you

0:39:43.040 --> 0:39:46.120
<v Speaker 1>a communal garage, I guess where you rent the space

0:39:46.160 --> 0:39:47.520
<v Speaker 1>for a certain amount of time. Now you have to

0:39:47.520 --> 0:39:49.160
<v Speaker 1>bring and I think most of those you have to

0:39:49.160 --> 0:39:52.280
<v Speaker 1>bring your own tools. Um, they might have some for rent,

0:39:52.360 --> 0:39:54.000
<v Speaker 1>or you can borrow some. Somebody that you know is

0:39:54.040 --> 0:39:57.400
<v Speaker 1>there using the communal garage. I guess if if there

0:39:57.400 --> 0:39:59.200
<v Speaker 1>are more than one bay or or something. I've never

0:39:59.280 --> 0:40:01.279
<v Speaker 1>used one before, but I've heard of them. I don't

0:40:01.320 --> 0:40:03.360
<v Speaker 1>even know if there are any operating around here or not.

0:40:03.400 --> 0:40:05.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm just not even sure. But yeah, if you don't

0:40:05.760 --> 0:40:07.880
<v Speaker 1>have the space, you can read it. Yeah. I do

0:40:08.000 --> 0:40:10.319
<v Speaker 1>want to add one other thing. I've heard about this

0:40:10.440 --> 0:40:13.160
<v Speaker 1>and I've never run into someone who's actually done it.

0:40:13.520 --> 0:40:15.160
<v Speaker 1>I want to see if you guys have heard about this.

0:40:15.719 --> 0:40:19.319
<v Speaker 1>Let's say you have a major repair, you know how

0:40:19.320 --> 0:40:21.680
<v Speaker 1>to do it, and you have the tools, but you

0:40:21.680 --> 0:40:25.120
<v Speaker 1>don't have the garage. I have heard that it's possible

0:40:25.480 --> 0:40:30.120
<v Speaker 1>to go to an auto mechanics school and use their

0:40:30.200 --> 0:40:33.759
<v Speaker 1>garage with the understanding. I mean, you're going to do

0:40:33.800 --> 0:40:36.080
<v Speaker 1>the work and you're going to bring your own tools, right,

0:40:36.280 --> 0:40:38.839
<v Speaker 1>That's what I've heard. I've never seen it confirmed. I

0:40:38.880 --> 0:40:41.480
<v Speaker 1>did not know that. That's interesting. I have to look

0:40:41.480 --> 0:40:44.759
<v Speaker 1>into that too, and I know that UM. I long,

0:40:44.800 --> 0:40:46.680
<v Speaker 1>long time ago, there was a community college near me

0:40:46.840 --> 0:40:51.160
<v Speaker 1>that had an UM automotive program, and I know that

0:40:51.160 --> 0:40:53.480
<v Speaker 1>students would bring their cars in and it was kind

0:40:53.480 --> 0:40:55.640
<v Speaker 1>of their project, you know, for the term. They'd be

0:40:55.680 --> 0:40:58.520
<v Speaker 1>able to kind of work on their own car as

0:40:58.560 --> 0:41:02.239
<v Speaker 1>there as there. You know that they're learning tool I guess,

0:41:02.280 --> 0:41:04.279
<v Speaker 1>you know. So they had cars over there, you know,

0:41:04.320 --> 0:41:06.640
<v Speaker 1>they had specific problems that they would teach you how

0:41:06.640 --> 0:41:08.799
<v Speaker 1>to fix and repair and all that. But UM, if

0:41:08.840 --> 0:41:10.520
<v Speaker 1>you let's say that you're taking a painting class and

0:41:10.560 --> 0:41:12.160
<v Speaker 1>you've got an old car that you want to paint,

0:41:12.800 --> 0:41:14.360
<v Speaker 1>there's your project. I mean you can you can do

0:41:14.360 --> 0:41:16.640
<v Speaker 1>it on that and learn on your own vehicle, and

0:41:16.680 --> 0:41:18.719
<v Speaker 1>you'll be graded on it. Of course, you know, as

0:41:18.719 --> 0:41:20.759
<v Speaker 1>you would, but it's but it's your own thing at

0:41:20.760 --> 0:41:22.640
<v Speaker 1>the very end, you know, of course, you're also more

0:41:22.719 --> 0:41:25.319
<v Speaker 1>likely to treat it with care. Yeah, you're right, you know.

0:41:25.440 --> 0:41:27.640
<v Speaker 1>It makes me think of though. I like the fact

0:41:27.760 --> 0:41:31.600
<v Speaker 1>that everything I've read about taking it to a mechanics school,

0:41:32.239 --> 0:41:35.560
<v Speaker 1>everything I've read about it emphasizes you doing the work yourself.

0:41:35.760 --> 0:41:39.880
<v Speaker 1>You know, you're basically renting the space. Yeah, because otherwise

0:41:40.239 --> 0:41:43.560
<v Speaker 1>it would be like another weird life hack I've heard

0:41:43.560 --> 0:41:46.680
<v Speaker 1>of but I've never seen officially confirmed, which is saving

0:41:46.719 --> 0:41:49.760
<v Speaker 1>money on a haircut by going to a cosmetology school,

0:41:49.920 --> 0:41:52.560
<v Speaker 1>which feels like a real trust pull, you know what

0:41:52.600 --> 0:41:54.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean. I think that you can do that. I

0:41:54.480 --> 0:41:56.719
<v Speaker 1>do think that they have that. Yeah, definitely, Yeah, have

0:41:56.800 --> 0:42:00.799
<v Speaker 1>you done that? Okay, maybe got the got the beard

0:42:00.800 --> 0:42:04.360
<v Speaker 1>trimmed up there so you can tell, right, yeah, I

0:42:04.440 --> 0:42:06.520
<v Speaker 1>just I mean, yeah, do you pay extra to get

0:42:06.520 --> 0:42:10.880
<v Speaker 1>a like a week three person? I think, isn't it

0:42:10.920 --> 0:42:12.719
<v Speaker 1>the thing? Like, I don't know if you pay. I

0:42:12.719 --> 0:42:15.920
<v Speaker 1>think that maybe you go and maybe there's varying degrees

0:42:15.960 --> 0:42:18.560
<v Speaker 1>of this, but you might pay for the supplies if

0:42:18.560 --> 0:42:20.760
<v Speaker 1>you have to have your hair diet or something like that. Maybe,

0:42:21.040 --> 0:42:22.440
<v Speaker 1>but I don't think that you pay, and it might

0:42:22.440 --> 0:42:24.560
<v Speaker 1>take you a long time to get your hair cut

0:42:24.600 --> 0:42:27.240
<v Speaker 1>because I think they're learning, you know, they're they're they're

0:42:27.280 --> 0:42:29.600
<v Speaker 1>teaching somebody when you're doing it. But um, yeah, that's

0:42:29.600 --> 0:42:31.680
<v Speaker 1>an interesting idea though, to take it to an automotive

0:42:31.760 --> 0:42:34.279
<v Speaker 1>school and uh and rent the space. But you have

0:42:34.320 --> 0:42:36.879
<v Speaker 1>to do the work yourself. So if you if you're

0:42:37.160 --> 0:42:39.120
<v Speaker 1>knowledgeable with that kind of thing, or you have the tools.

0:42:39.440 --> 0:42:48.879
<v Speaker 1>That's a smart thing to do. We should probably buzz

0:42:48.960 --> 0:42:50.840
<v Speaker 1>through a couple more of these real quick. Just because

0:42:51.400 --> 0:42:55.080
<v Speaker 1>we're a little bit behind on on my list. I

0:42:55.080 --> 0:42:56.680
<v Speaker 1>guess we're not gonna get to everything on the list.

0:42:56.760 --> 0:42:59.200
<v Speaker 1>We never do right, um, because we have always I

0:42:59.480 --> 0:43:02.760
<v Speaker 1>love oursel conversations, So talking about the junkyard, talking about

0:43:03.640 --> 0:43:05.640
<v Speaker 1>the hair college or whatever you want to call it,

0:43:06.920 --> 0:43:11.319
<v Speaker 1>the GUI the whole time. No, that's all right, I

0:43:11.360 --> 0:43:14.080
<v Speaker 1>like that stuff. But um, I guess overall, really, I mean,

0:43:14.120 --> 0:43:16.440
<v Speaker 1>the the the lesson here, if there is a lesson

0:43:16.480 --> 0:43:18.040
<v Speaker 1>to be learned, is get rid of the clutter, get

0:43:18.120 --> 0:43:20.120
<v Speaker 1>rid of the junk. Hang stuff up off the floor,

0:43:20.520 --> 0:43:22.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, get it off of the off the ground there.

0:43:22.680 --> 0:43:24.600
<v Speaker 1>If you can that way, you've got more real estate

0:43:24.640 --> 0:43:26.960
<v Speaker 1>to use. And once you do do that, then maybe

0:43:27.239 --> 0:43:29.160
<v Speaker 1>flooring is another thing that a lot of people kind

0:43:29.160 --> 0:43:32.880
<v Speaker 1>of neglect or or overlook. I know there's been recently

0:43:32.960 --> 0:43:36.120
<v Speaker 1>kind of not maybe not even recently, a big push

0:43:36.160 --> 0:43:38.560
<v Speaker 1>to use like those epoxy systems you can do at home.

0:43:38.600 --> 0:43:40.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean there's kids that you can buy and the

0:43:40.440 --> 0:43:43.359
<v Speaker 1>materials come practically ready to go. I mean you just

0:43:43.360 --> 0:43:45.279
<v Speaker 1>have to do the cleaning yourself, and you know, there's

0:43:45.320 --> 0:43:47.200
<v Speaker 1>step by step instructions about how to do that, and

0:43:47.200 --> 0:43:49.839
<v Speaker 1>it's non skid and all that. But there's a ton

0:43:49.880 --> 0:43:52.560
<v Speaker 1>of flooring options and one of these on this list

0:43:52.920 --> 0:43:55.759
<v Speaker 1>really surprised me and I was shocked by I'll just

0:43:55.840 --> 0:43:57.600
<v Speaker 1>quickly go through the list and we can if you

0:43:57.640 --> 0:43:59.399
<v Speaker 1>wanted to stop and talk about any of them, we can.

0:44:00.160 --> 0:44:02.279
<v Speaker 1>But there's I don't have any of these. By the way,

0:44:02.280 --> 0:44:04.320
<v Speaker 1>My floor is painted, which is one of the cheapest

0:44:04.320 --> 0:44:06.759
<v Speaker 1>ways to do it, and it's peeled up a little

0:44:06.800 --> 0:44:08.760
<v Speaker 1>bit here and there, but it's it's held pretty well.

0:44:09.000 --> 0:44:12.000
<v Speaker 1>It's not the epoxy, but it's definitely like a harder paint.

0:44:12.040 --> 0:44:14.120
<v Speaker 1>I think it's an outdoor paint that they used, and

0:44:14.120 --> 0:44:16.600
<v Speaker 1>it's it's okay. It does the job. It keeps the

0:44:16.960 --> 0:44:19.839
<v Speaker 1>fluids from going right onto the concrete, which is nice.

0:44:19.880 --> 0:44:22.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, you can clean them up pretty easy. So

0:44:22.080 --> 0:44:23.600
<v Speaker 1>that's one of the cheapest things you can do, is

0:44:23.600 --> 0:44:26.719
<v Speaker 1>paint the floor. Also not the best option. I'll tell

0:44:26.760 --> 0:44:30.280
<v Speaker 1>you that you can do any variety of coatings. Of course,

0:44:30.320 --> 0:44:32.120
<v Speaker 1>you can do you know, epoxy, or you can even

0:44:32.120 --> 0:44:34.000
<v Speaker 1>do just concrete sealer. If you have a nice clean

0:44:34.040 --> 0:44:36.320
<v Speaker 1>floor already. You can't do that if it's already stained

0:44:36.360 --> 0:44:38.080
<v Speaker 1>and you know, kind of a mess. And that's the

0:44:38.120 --> 0:44:41.320
<v Speaker 1>same thing with concrete stain. If you do concrete stain,

0:44:41.560 --> 0:44:44.160
<v Speaker 1>which by the way, it looks really cool when it's done.

0:44:44.840 --> 0:44:47.120
<v Speaker 1>But if you have a dirty floor, crack floor, you

0:44:47.200 --> 0:44:49.439
<v Speaker 1>know it has imperfections. You're going to see that through

0:44:49.480 --> 0:44:52.080
<v Speaker 1>the stain. Even if you try to cover it up,

0:44:52.120 --> 0:44:53.719
<v Speaker 1>try to patch you to whatever, You're gonna see those

0:44:53.760 --> 0:44:55.520
<v Speaker 1>cracks and things, you know. So you've gotta have a

0:44:55.520 --> 0:44:58.879
<v Speaker 1>floor that's in decent shape to begin with to do that. Okay, Now,

0:44:58.880 --> 0:45:01.560
<v Speaker 1>there's like other surfaces that you can add to your

0:45:01.600 --> 0:45:03.920
<v Speaker 1>garage floor that I know a lot of people have done.

0:45:04.360 --> 0:45:06.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm a little area of these, but um, like what

0:45:06.800 --> 0:45:09.239
<v Speaker 1>like the interlocking tiles, I don't know why. I just

0:45:09.280 --> 0:45:11.879
<v Speaker 1>feel like they'll be slick um, you know, like they'd

0:45:11.880 --> 0:45:13.960
<v Speaker 1>be like if you've got any oil or grease on

0:45:14.000 --> 0:45:16.879
<v Speaker 1>them or if But again that's concrete as well, so

0:45:17.320 --> 0:45:19.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Maybe that's maybe there's something to that,

0:45:19.200 --> 0:45:21.399
<v Speaker 1>but they look like they're they'd be slick even in water.

0:45:21.520 --> 0:45:23.840
<v Speaker 1>To me, it just don't seem and they're they're a

0:45:23.880 --> 0:45:26.280
<v Speaker 1>little bit pricey. I mean, you know the interlocking tiles,

0:45:26.320 --> 0:45:28.680
<v Speaker 1>they're they're designed for heavy load and you can put

0:45:28.719 --> 0:45:31.719
<v Speaker 1>them on an uneven floor or semi uneven. You have

0:45:31.760 --> 0:45:33.040
<v Speaker 1>to kind of do a little bit of work ahead

0:45:33.040 --> 0:45:35.160
<v Speaker 1>of time to get it ready, but it can be

0:45:35.320 --> 0:45:37.480
<v Speaker 1>a simple fix. It can make your garage look really

0:45:37.560 --> 0:45:40.040
<v Speaker 1>nice if you want it to look really nice. It's

0:45:40.040 --> 0:45:42.640
<v Speaker 1>functional because I guess some of that stuff does drain away,

0:45:42.719 --> 0:45:44.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, underneath, as long as you can access below

0:45:44.760 --> 0:45:46.719
<v Speaker 1>it to clean it up. Eventually, you don't just have

0:45:46.760 --> 0:45:49.000
<v Speaker 1>fluids and laying around and you know, of course one

0:45:49.040 --> 0:45:51.360
<v Speaker 1>gets damaged or you want to change it out. You

0:45:51.360 --> 0:45:53.520
<v Speaker 1>can do that pretty easy with tile. Instead of being

0:45:53.520 --> 0:45:55.920
<v Speaker 1>one solid piece or paint or you know whatever, it's

0:45:55.960 --> 0:45:59.120
<v Speaker 1>it's harder to come back from that. There's also, you know,

0:45:59.160 --> 0:46:00.680
<v Speaker 1>the option you can put down like you know those

0:46:00.719 --> 0:46:03.719
<v Speaker 1>titles real heavy duty tiles they use in a lot

0:46:03.719 --> 0:46:06.400
<v Speaker 1>of elementary schools use those tiles, you know, like the

0:46:06.520 --> 0:46:10.360
<v Speaker 1>um then I think it's vinyl flooring, but there the

0:46:10.440 --> 0:46:13.560
<v Speaker 1>vinyl tiles, the you know the one they have the

0:46:15.120 --> 0:46:17.839
<v Speaker 1>oh it's not corrugated, you know what I'm talking about,

0:46:17.880 --> 0:46:20.680
<v Speaker 1>the surface is like a non slip surface. Yeah, that's right. Yeah,

0:46:20.719 --> 0:46:22.360
<v Speaker 1>so that's a decent thing to do. I mean, you

0:46:22.400 --> 0:46:24.799
<v Speaker 1>can you can do that. It's again, you can get

0:46:24.800 --> 0:46:26.920
<v Speaker 1>them really cheap. You can also get them very expensive

0:46:26.960 --> 0:46:29.799
<v Speaker 1>depending on the surface treatment that you want. You know,

0:46:29.840 --> 0:46:33.080
<v Speaker 1>the colors and all that, and all this stuff is customizable.

0:46:33.120 --> 0:46:35.040
<v Speaker 1>So if you buy you know, a pattern that you

0:46:35.040 --> 0:46:36.520
<v Speaker 1>want to put down on the ground, you can do that.

0:46:36.520 --> 0:46:38.920
<v Speaker 1>That's kind of cool. Um, a lot of people have,

0:46:39.560 --> 0:46:43.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, there's a variety of ideas for flooring, you know,

0:46:43.640 --> 0:46:45.279
<v Speaker 1>what you should do, what you shouldn't do on this.

0:46:45.320 --> 0:46:47.360
<v Speaker 1>But but one thing that that really stat with me

0:46:47.400 --> 0:46:49.360
<v Speaker 1>that now, actually, you know, I'm gonna wait for just

0:46:49.360 --> 0:46:50.960
<v Speaker 1>a second. I'm gonna say two more that I think

0:46:50.960 --> 0:46:52.560
<v Speaker 1>are interesting, but then I'll get to the one that

0:46:52.640 --> 0:46:54.960
<v Speaker 1>was the most interesting to me. Right. Uh. There's also

0:46:55.040 --> 0:46:57.120
<v Speaker 1>peeling stick tiles that are kind of like what I

0:46:57.280 --> 0:47:00.239
<v Speaker 1>was just talking about, but they're vinyl, so it's you know,

0:47:00.400 --> 0:47:02.440
<v Speaker 1>self adhesive type thing that you know, you put on

0:47:02.760 --> 0:47:06.280
<v Speaker 1>put them down. That's an okay, fixed a little cheaper,

0:47:06.320 --> 0:47:08.239
<v Speaker 1>but um, you can still do it. And then there's

0:47:08.280 --> 0:47:11.239
<v Speaker 1>also a solid one piece vinyl role that you can

0:47:11.239 --> 0:47:13.360
<v Speaker 1>put out like um, think about linoleum, you know, like

0:47:13.400 --> 0:47:17.520
<v Speaker 1>the old linoleum only made specifically for garages, and it

0:47:17.600 --> 0:47:19.719
<v Speaker 1>might have a texture to it. The problem is if

0:47:19.719 --> 0:47:21.440
<v Speaker 1>you damage it or something, you know, it's harder to

0:47:22.000 --> 0:47:25.600
<v Speaker 1>patch in and replace something like that. And by the way,

0:47:25.640 --> 0:47:27.040
<v Speaker 1>that's one of the benefits of it is that there

0:47:27.040 --> 0:47:30.080
<v Speaker 1>are no seams, so that you know, stuff won't gather

0:47:30.120 --> 0:47:32.400
<v Speaker 1>and seems stuff won't build up, and and if you

0:47:32.400 --> 0:47:34.680
<v Speaker 1>start cutting holes to patch in that, you know, that's

0:47:34.719 --> 0:47:37.839
<v Speaker 1>where the problems start. Really. Now, the most interesting one

0:47:37.840 --> 0:47:39.920
<v Speaker 1>on this list that I found for for flooring options

0:47:39.920 --> 0:47:44.520
<v Speaker 1>for garage carpet, and I thought, okay, that's a little crazy, right,

0:47:44.560 --> 0:47:46.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you think like this is like we're getting

0:47:46.480 --> 0:47:49.120
<v Speaker 1>into that million dollar garage territory, right you put down carpet.

0:47:49.400 --> 0:47:51.520
<v Speaker 1>It's not the case. It's it's stuff that's called and

0:47:51.600 --> 0:47:53.520
<v Speaker 1>I've got a brand name here for it, because I

0:47:53.760 --> 0:47:55.960
<v Speaker 1>saw a lot of people talking about the specific brand.

0:47:56.000 --> 0:47:58.319
<v Speaker 1>And again we're not selling it or anything like that

0:47:58.480 --> 0:48:00.480
<v Speaker 1>or getting any kind of money kicked back this thing.

0:48:00.880 --> 0:48:03.160
<v Speaker 1>But the brand of the product is called Tough Carpet.

0:48:03.200 --> 0:48:07.000
<v Speaker 1>It's t u f F carpet, all one word and

0:48:07.120 --> 0:48:10.040
<v Speaker 1>apparently the stuff is like peeling stick squares like you

0:48:10.040 --> 0:48:11.719
<v Speaker 1>would find, you know, like in an office or something.

0:48:11.760 --> 0:48:14.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, if you you know, put down carpeting in

0:48:14.000 --> 0:48:16.920
<v Speaker 1>a small room or something like that. This stuff is

0:48:17.080 --> 0:48:19.759
<v Speaker 1>really really durable. You get this. It can be like

0:48:19.800 --> 0:48:23.080
<v Speaker 1>power washed if you need to. Uh yeah, And it

0:48:23.160 --> 0:48:26.280
<v Speaker 1>still has the give and the feel of real carpet.

0:48:26.320 --> 0:48:29.279
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't have, um, I don't want to put this.

0:48:29.360 --> 0:48:32.840
<v Speaker 1>It's it's like what they use on pro football stadiums,

0:48:32.880 --> 0:48:37.400
<v Speaker 1>like you know, the turf, only it's not like you know, AstroTurf.

0:48:37.400 --> 0:48:40.160
<v Speaker 1>It's it's not like all you know, prickly and pokey

0:48:40.239 --> 0:48:43.160
<v Speaker 1>like that. It doesn't feel like plastic. It feels like carpet.

0:48:43.160 --> 0:48:44.799
<v Speaker 1>When you put your hands across it. It It feels like

0:48:44.800 --> 0:48:47.040
<v Speaker 1>it's got the give. It's got the plushness to it,

0:48:47.520 --> 0:48:49.120
<v Speaker 1>just a little bit, not a lot. It's not real

0:48:49.200 --> 0:48:51.920
<v Speaker 1>thick shag or anything like that, of course, but it's

0:48:51.920 --> 0:48:53.640
<v Speaker 1>got like a low I guess you call it a

0:48:53.640 --> 0:48:56.319
<v Speaker 1>low nap carpet. I don't know carpet really, but I

0:48:56.360 --> 0:48:59.160
<v Speaker 1>think that's what they call it. Low nap. And again,

0:48:59.200 --> 0:49:01.440
<v Speaker 1>you can you can hour watch the stuff. It's supposed

0:49:01.440 --> 0:49:04.080
<v Speaker 1>to resist petroleum products. So you know, you're thinking, like, well,

0:49:04.120 --> 0:49:05.560
<v Speaker 1>if my car is leaking a while, I'm not going

0:49:05.600 --> 0:49:08.520
<v Speaker 1>to park it on this carpet. But apparently that's no problem.

0:49:08.600 --> 0:49:10.719
<v Speaker 1>It'll just wipe right off. So I thought it was

0:49:10.719 --> 0:49:13.359
<v Speaker 1>a cool solution. And they've been around for a long time.

0:49:13.400 --> 0:49:17.359
<v Speaker 1>I've I've seen articles about this product for many, many

0:49:17.440 --> 0:49:20.080
<v Speaker 1>years since, you know, at least eight nine years ago

0:49:20.120 --> 0:49:22.480
<v Speaker 1>now at this point, so there, I think they're still around.

0:49:22.520 --> 0:49:27.200
<v Speaker 1>The latest reference to it I found was right around eighteen.

0:49:27.239 --> 0:49:29.640
<v Speaker 1>I think, Um, so who knows, you know, maybe they're

0:49:29.640 --> 0:49:31.520
<v Speaker 1>maybe they're still there doing it. Maybe they're not. I don't.

0:49:31.560 --> 0:49:34.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, but I thought carpeting was an odd

0:49:34.560 --> 0:49:37.120
<v Speaker 1>thing to include in this list. But you know, again,

0:49:37.680 --> 0:49:40.640
<v Speaker 1>if it's built for it, why not. Yeah, I guess

0:49:40.680 --> 0:49:44.360
<v Speaker 1>you're right. I'm not. I'm still kind of I shouldn't

0:49:44.360 --> 0:49:47.600
<v Speaker 1>be skeptical. I'm just so used to a bare floor garage.

0:49:47.680 --> 0:49:49.880
<v Speaker 1>It just seems like the simpler solution. Yeah, I know.

0:49:50.040 --> 0:49:53.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, and again all this, I feel like you

0:49:53.160 --> 0:49:55.200
<v Speaker 1>can almost make like pathways to your car, like you

0:49:55.239 --> 0:49:56.960
<v Speaker 1>could like the area that you step out of your

0:49:56.960 --> 0:49:59.880
<v Speaker 1>car onto, like that could be carpeted or maybe like

0:50:00.560 --> 0:50:03.399
<v Speaker 1>I guess, a runner on the side you know where um,

0:50:03.480 --> 0:50:05.239
<v Speaker 1>you know you could put your shoes or whatever, you know,

0:50:05.400 --> 0:50:08.279
<v Speaker 1>keep the garbage cans over there or something whatever, um,

0:50:08.320 --> 0:50:17.719
<v Speaker 1>but maybe not where your wheels are actually parked. I

0:50:17.760 --> 0:50:19.360
<v Speaker 1>don't know how much more I have to add it.

0:50:19.360 --> 0:50:21.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, of course there's gonna be lighting option. You

0:50:21.480 --> 0:50:23.480
<v Speaker 1>want to have good lighting in your garage, and a

0:50:23.520 --> 0:50:25.879
<v Speaker 1>couple of things that that I want to mention here,

0:50:25.960 --> 0:50:27.960
<v Speaker 1>like you could. It doesn't have to be expensive. I've

0:50:28.000 --> 0:50:30.000
<v Speaker 1>got I'll tell you right now. In my garage, we've

0:50:30.040 --> 0:50:32.040
<v Speaker 1>got like two bare bulbs in the in the ceiling.

0:50:32.120 --> 0:50:34.799
<v Speaker 1>That's terrible. It's terrible lighting. But I want to change that.

0:50:34.840 --> 0:50:36.480
<v Speaker 1>I want to change it too again to be a

0:50:36.520 --> 0:50:38.640
<v Speaker 1>little bit more. I don't know, just it'll look better.

0:50:38.760 --> 0:50:41.360
<v Speaker 1>It will also provide better light, I guess, because the

0:50:41.400 --> 0:50:43.719
<v Speaker 1>placement of them is not exactly right for me. It's

0:50:43.760 --> 0:50:45.839
<v Speaker 1>just kind of where they they where the builder wanted

0:50:45.880 --> 0:50:49.640
<v Speaker 1>to put them. You don't this there's the thing. I

0:50:49.760 --> 0:50:52.319
<v Speaker 1>just found something. I know this has been around a while,

0:50:52.640 --> 0:50:55.680
<v Speaker 1>but have you've seen these tape l E D s as?

0:50:55.760 --> 0:50:57.759
<v Speaker 1>I think are pretty cool and I don't know if

0:50:57.800 --> 0:51:00.279
<v Speaker 1>that really would be a good option for me. I know,

0:51:00.320 --> 0:51:02.120
<v Speaker 1>you can dim them, you can get just you know,

0:51:02.160 --> 0:51:03.920
<v Speaker 1>the white ones there there's something that you can change

0:51:03.960 --> 0:51:06.719
<v Speaker 1>all different colors um and that's cool too. But like

0:51:06.800 --> 0:51:09.080
<v Speaker 1>these tape L e d s are such an interesting

0:51:09.120 --> 0:51:10.799
<v Speaker 1>idea that you know, they run off of like a

0:51:10.840 --> 0:51:13.759
<v Speaker 1>low voltage power supply, doesn't take a whole lot to

0:51:13.760 --> 0:51:15.840
<v Speaker 1>to operate them, and you can put them anywhere. I mean,

0:51:15.920 --> 0:51:18.800
<v Speaker 1>they're they're intended for you know, well for anything really,

0:51:18.840 --> 0:51:21.239
<v Speaker 1>but you know under cabinet type lighting, that type of thing,

0:51:21.280 --> 0:51:23.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, to replace the old fixtures that you'd have

0:51:23.160 --> 0:51:25.680
<v Speaker 1>to bolt up there. But yeah, if you've never seen

0:51:26.160 --> 0:51:28.080
<v Speaker 1>tape L e d s, look up, you know, look

0:51:28.120 --> 0:51:30.759
<v Speaker 1>look it up sometime and might be surprised by what

0:51:30.800 --> 0:51:32.680
<v Speaker 1>you find if if you're not already hip to that

0:51:32.719 --> 0:51:35.880
<v Speaker 1>type of thing. I'm not crazy about the quality of

0:51:35.880 --> 0:51:38.640
<v Speaker 1>fluorescent lighting. And I know that's one thing though that

0:51:38.680 --> 0:51:40.919
<v Speaker 1>you can you can buy a lot of fluorescent lighting

0:51:41.200 --> 0:51:44.359
<v Speaker 1>cheap relatively. You can buy the fixtures. You can get

0:51:44.360 --> 0:51:47.080
<v Speaker 1>the fixtures that you know, like again Goodwill, thrift store

0:51:47.160 --> 0:51:49.960
<v Speaker 1>places like that, same place you can go to get

0:51:50.000 --> 0:51:51.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, an old cabinet. It doesn't have to be

0:51:51.640 --> 0:51:54.040
<v Speaker 1>a cabinet that was built for the garage. Put an

0:51:54.080 --> 0:51:55.759
<v Speaker 1>old cabinet out in the in the garage, you know,

0:51:55.800 --> 0:51:58.880
<v Speaker 1>there was an old bookshelf or whatever. That's great storage.

0:51:58.920 --> 0:52:00.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean you could even find a way to put

0:52:00.440 --> 0:52:02.200
<v Speaker 1>a door on it if there isn't one. Use an

0:52:02.239 --> 0:52:04.640
<v Speaker 1>old armore if you want, you know, put that out

0:52:04.640 --> 0:52:07.440
<v Speaker 1>in the garage's story. Like, just repurpose things and use

0:52:07.520 --> 0:52:10.839
<v Speaker 1>things in a smart way that is useful to you

0:52:10.920 --> 0:52:13.239
<v Speaker 1>where you need the most. So you know, even if

0:52:13.239 --> 0:52:15.240
<v Speaker 1>you have old furniture around your house you're not using,

0:52:16.160 --> 0:52:18.080
<v Speaker 1>see if it'll be if you can repurpose that thing

0:52:18.120 --> 0:52:20.160
<v Speaker 1>in your bride in some way. Yeah, yeah, it just

0:52:20.280 --> 0:52:23.920
<v Speaker 1>it makes sense. There's a lot of really affordable, i

0:52:23.960 --> 0:52:27.640
<v Speaker 1>mean even free ways to do things to your garage

0:52:27.680 --> 0:52:29.080
<v Speaker 1>to make it just a better place to be. And

0:52:29.200 --> 0:52:31.920
<v Speaker 1>I think I'm getting to that point with mine. Like

0:52:31.960 --> 0:52:34.160
<v Speaker 1>I said, I haven't done insulation or lighting or anything

0:52:34.200 --> 0:52:36.239
<v Speaker 1>like that. Trying to think of what else I haven't done,

0:52:36.280 --> 0:52:38.040
<v Speaker 1>like flora POxy yet or anything like that. But the

0:52:38.080 --> 0:52:41.440
<v Speaker 1>paint is holding up. Okay, it's not fantastic, but it's

0:52:41.440 --> 0:52:45.160
<v Speaker 1>all right. The survival is slash Pepper in me wants

0:52:45.200 --> 0:52:48.279
<v Speaker 1>to point out that you can, like I know your

0:52:48.360 --> 0:52:51.400
<v Speaker 1>garage pretty well from way've described over the years, you

0:52:51.480 --> 0:52:53.719
<v Speaker 1>probably have room for a deep freezer in there. Ian

0:52:53.800 --> 0:52:58.000
<v Speaker 1>consider that. Uh, maybe maybe get one of those portable

0:52:58.040 --> 0:53:01.160
<v Speaker 1>garages that Kurt hip just to start smoking some meats

0:53:01.400 --> 0:53:04.600
<v Speaker 1>because you never know, you know, sure to be prepared. Yeah. Uh,

0:53:04.840 --> 0:53:07.640
<v Speaker 1>let me see what other ridiculous things can I suggest?

0:53:07.719 --> 0:53:10.719
<v Speaker 1>A pinball machine? Well I might as well, like you know,

0:53:11.360 --> 0:53:13.239
<v Speaker 1>etch out an area on the floor and then start

0:53:13.320 --> 0:53:17.640
<v Speaker 1>digging the shelter. Yeah you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's

0:53:17.640 --> 0:53:20.000
<v Speaker 1>one thing, you know what I saw it. Just I

0:53:20.120 --> 0:53:22.239
<v Speaker 1>know we're getting tight on time, so so we'll wrap

0:53:22.239 --> 0:53:24.799
<v Speaker 1>it up pretty soon. But um, I was thinking when

0:53:24.800 --> 0:53:26.880
<v Speaker 1>I was talking with Kurt, you know, like let's not

0:53:26.920 --> 0:53:29.839
<v Speaker 1>talk about like car lifts and like you know, elevators

0:53:29.840 --> 0:53:32.959
<v Speaker 1>and things like that we said we started out this podcast.

0:53:33.160 --> 0:53:35.319
<v Speaker 1>But I'll tell you, like if you want, I mean,

0:53:35.360 --> 0:53:37.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to discourage anybody from doing this, but

0:53:37.239 --> 0:53:38.919
<v Speaker 1>you can put in a lift in your garage. It's

0:53:38.920 --> 0:53:42.440
<v Speaker 1>not as expensive as you might think. It's it's expensive,

0:53:42.600 --> 0:53:44.759
<v Speaker 1>but it's not as expensive as you might think you

0:53:44.800 --> 0:53:46.600
<v Speaker 1>look at it and think it's like, well, that's fifty

0:53:47.840 --> 0:53:50.279
<v Speaker 1>do not at all know? The home versions of these

0:53:50.360 --> 0:53:53.880
<v Speaker 1>are relative and I'll say relatively affordable for something, you know,

0:53:54.040 --> 0:53:57.600
<v Speaker 1>and I would say comparatively comparative comparatively, And you've got

0:53:57.600 --> 0:53:59.120
<v Speaker 1>to have the right set up. You gotta have a

0:53:59.200 --> 0:54:01.360
<v Speaker 1>high seat, high enough ceiling. I think it has to

0:54:01.400 --> 0:54:04.120
<v Speaker 1>be like eleven or twelve feet tall to safely operate

0:54:04.160 --> 0:54:05.799
<v Speaker 1>one of these things. Really, I mean with the post

0:54:05.840 --> 0:54:08.200
<v Speaker 1>and everything. There's a there's two post versions, there's four

0:54:08.239 --> 0:54:10.719
<v Speaker 1>post versions. You can get a two post version. You

0:54:10.719 --> 0:54:14.439
<v Speaker 1>know where you're the posts are on the side next

0:54:14.440 --> 0:54:16.120
<v Speaker 1>to the doors. I guess when you pull up you

0:54:16.200 --> 0:54:18.160
<v Speaker 1>kind of pull through this thing. Then there's the four

0:54:18.200 --> 0:54:20.759
<v Speaker 1>post versions, which sometimes will have ramps you can like

0:54:20.920 --> 0:54:23.040
<v Speaker 1>fully secure the vehicle on top of it and then

0:54:23.120 --> 0:54:25.279
<v Speaker 1>raise it up. And then there's also the versions where

0:54:25.280 --> 0:54:27.560
<v Speaker 1>you know you can block those in park another car

0:54:27.640 --> 0:54:30.040
<v Speaker 1>below it, which is really cool. Yeah, that's the one

0:54:30.080 --> 0:54:32.200
<v Speaker 1>I would go for. But you know those are I mean,

0:54:32.640 --> 0:54:38.080
<v Speaker 1>and you might think that again really really expensive, like Bucks,

0:54:38.320 --> 0:54:42.319
<v Speaker 1>maybe less one. I saw one Bucks you can get

0:54:42.440 --> 0:54:44.719
<v Speaker 1>see the only thing with that, And I say, this

0:54:44.880 --> 0:54:48.200
<v Speaker 1>as an avowed cheapskate. The only thing with that is

0:54:48.360 --> 0:54:51.319
<v Speaker 1>I would be very careful about how thrift y I

0:54:51.440 --> 0:54:55.480
<v Speaker 1>was I'm buying on especially because because you want I

0:54:55.560 --> 0:54:59.480
<v Speaker 1>want the kind where I'm going to have living people

0:54:59.560 --> 0:55:03.200
<v Speaker 1>under it, yeah, doing repairs, or ideally the kind I

0:55:03.280 --> 0:55:06.920
<v Speaker 1>might have another very expensive vehicle under it, and I

0:55:06.920 --> 0:55:11.240
<v Speaker 1>don't want to wake up to that going wrong. No, no, no,

0:55:11.239 --> 0:55:12.919
<v Speaker 1>no one does. No one wants to hear that noise.

0:55:13.000 --> 0:55:14.560
<v Speaker 1>That's not the kind of a long clock I want

0:55:14.560 --> 0:55:16.560
<v Speaker 1>in the morning. One of your cars crushing the other

0:55:16.600 --> 0:55:20.279
<v Speaker 1>one of your cars. Yeah, that'd be a terrible noise,

0:55:20.320 --> 0:55:23.279
<v Speaker 1>and you know, one last quick. So it's not out

0:55:23.280 --> 0:55:26.000
<v Speaker 1>of the question to do something like that in your garage.

0:55:26.040 --> 0:55:28.919
<v Speaker 1>If you've got the means to pay you know, bucks

0:55:28.960 --> 0:55:30.799
<v Speaker 1>for a four post lift, do it. And you've got

0:55:30.800 --> 0:55:33.520
<v Speaker 1>the place to do it. One thing that I thought, Okay,

0:55:33.560 --> 0:55:35.759
<v Speaker 1>there's no way we can we can do this. It's

0:55:35.800 --> 0:55:40.120
<v Speaker 1>just too expensive. I've seen do it yourself pits dug

0:55:40.160 --> 0:55:43.640
<v Speaker 1>in garages, and I have mixed feelings about this, but

0:55:44.680 --> 0:55:47.480
<v Speaker 1>it is. But I've seen some really nice ones, really

0:55:47.560 --> 0:55:49.960
<v Speaker 1>really are they like are the is the property on

0:55:50.000 --> 0:55:51.839
<v Speaker 1>a hill? And they're built into it or so it's

0:55:51.920 --> 0:55:54.560
<v Speaker 1>it's yeah, nope, this is someone chiseling right through the

0:55:54.560 --> 0:55:56.440
<v Speaker 1>floor of their garage as long as they're you know,

0:55:57.160 --> 0:55:59.759
<v Speaker 1>right through the concrete, putting some steps in. Yeah, they

0:55:59.760 --> 0:56:02.520
<v Speaker 1>put steps in, and so they don't have to like

0:56:02.600 --> 0:56:05.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, you don't have another access in another play

0:56:05.680 --> 0:56:08.319
<v Speaker 1>part of the building or anything like that. Nothing fancy. Um.

0:56:08.480 --> 0:56:10.400
<v Speaker 1>But like the guy that I saw doing one, he

0:56:10.440 --> 0:56:13.440
<v Speaker 1>had dug a hole in his garage, a very narrow garage. Um.

0:56:13.560 --> 0:56:15.600
<v Speaker 1>They call it an inspection pit, but really it's for

0:56:16.200 --> 0:56:18.560
<v Speaker 1>like weel changes and things about how deep would say

0:56:18.680 --> 0:56:20.799
<v Speaker 1>it was, well, you know what you'd want to be

0:56:20.880 --> 0:56:23.640
<v Speaker 1>either sitting on a stool, you know, so you're comfortable

0:56:23.760 --> 0:56:27.160
<v Speaker 1>underneath it, or standing if he wanted to stand underneath there. Um,

0:56:27.160 --> 0:56:28.360
<v Speaker 1>So you have to kind of like you have to

0:56:28.360 --> 0:56:31.520
<v Speaker 1>measure everything very carefully. Of course, he had tiled his

0:56:31.560 --> 0:56:34.160
<v Speaker 1>in with stone and the stairs, so the way he

0:56:34.200 --> 0:56:38.040
<v Speaker 1>gets into his is he um uh. Since this one

0:56:38.080 --> 0:56:41.000
<v Speaker 1>person operating this, he'd drive in right to a set

0:56:41.040 --> 0:56:43.160
<v Speaker 1>point and then kind of like almost like kind of

0:56:43.200 --> 0:56:45.920
<v Speaker 1>worm his way underneath there onto the stairs to get

0:56:46.000 --> 0:56:48.960
<v Speaker 1>underneath the car. So it didn't look very comfortable to

0:56:48.960 --> 0:56:51.440
<v Speaker 1>get into because you know, it wasn't If it was longer,

0:56:51.640 --> 0:56:53.239
<v Speaker 1>you could just stand up right and walk right in

0:56:53.800 --> 0:56:56.560
<v Speaker 1>go into the car. But he had a smaller garage area,

0:56:57.000 --> 0:56:59.000
<v Speaker 1>so you know, even though there are stairs there, it's

0:56:59.040 --> 0:57:00.600
<v Speaker 1>great to help me climb out, but you're doing that

0:57:00.680 --> 0:57:02.879
<v Speaker 1>on your hands and knees. Probably, I don't know, man,

0:57:02.920 --> 0:57:06.520
<v Speaker 1>I felt a way of a claustrophobia just hearing that description. Yeah,

0:57:06.560 --> 0:57:08.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's not. But again, the thing is like

0:57:08.680 --> 0:57:10.880
<v Speaker 1>it's not out of the reach, and it's not something

0:57:10.880 --> 0:57:12.799
<v Speaker 1>for the ultra wealthy. It's not something that you know,

0:57:12.840 --> 0:57:14.520
<v Speaker 1>you have to have a pile of money layer on

0:57:14.680 --> 0:57:17.040
<v Speaker 1>to do. You can do it, I mean, it's not

0:57:18.040 --> 0:57:21.000
<v Speaker 1>You should definitely have all this stuff inspected and checked out.

0:57:21.040 --> 0:57:23.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, if you're not comfortable doing something like this,

0:57:23.880 --> 0:57:26.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, please have somebody come in and install that

0:57:26.120 --> 0:57:27.880
<v Speaker 1>lift for you. Of course, I mean you want to

0:57:27.880 --> 0:57:29.880
<v Speaker 1>be safe about it, but and you might even have to.

0:57:29.960 --> 0:57:32.240
<v Speaker 1>You might have to have somebody install, um, you know,

0:57:32.440 --> 0:57:34.720
<v Speaker 1>a safety inspection. I would bet the company that sells

0:57:34.840 --> 0:57:37.320
<v Speaker 1>these things, you know, make sure that there's some kind

0:57:37.320 --> 0:57:40.600
<v Speaker 1>of a certified um individual that comes over and check

0:57:40.720 --> 0:57:42.560
<v Speaker 1>things out to make sure it's bolted down correctly and

0:57:42.560 --> 0:57:44.760
<v Speaker 1>all that, because so yeah, you don't want to, you know,

0:57:44.800 --> 0:57:46.960
<v Speaker 1>want somebody putting something like that in their house and

0:57:47.040 --> 0:57:49.000
<v Speaker 1>it's be just like this huge re liability for the

0:57:49.000 --> 0:57:51.320
<v Speaker 1>company that built it. You know. Yeah, I just I look,

0:57:51.400 --> 0:57:54.040
<v Speaker 1>I just don't want to be sitting under a car

0:57:54.320 --> 0:57:58.520
<v Speaker 1>on a little stool in something that's slightly larger than

0:57:58.560 --> 0:58:01.439
<v Speaker 1>a coffin. Yeah, you know, yeah, that's that's the way

0:58:01.480 --> 0:58:03.680
<v Speaker 1>that these look to they look like, um, they're very

0:58:03.760 --> 0:58:05.400
<v Speaker 1>very small. It's not like the big ones that you

0:58:05.440 --> 0:58:07.680
<v Speaker 1>see at the oil change place, you know, like and

0:58:08.000 --> 0:58:10.320
<v Speaker 1>you always will have an open hole in your garage.

0:58:10.320 --> 0:58:12.880
<v Speaker 1>Then of course that's another danger factor is you know

0:58:12.840 --> 0:58:15.280
<v Speaker 1>if somebody uh you know pulls in and they've got

0:58:15.280 --> 0:58:16.840
<v Speaker 1>their you know, they're gonna make a sharp turn to

0:58:16.840 --> 0:58:18.200
<v Speaker 1>get out of the garage or something, you know, to

0:58:18.400 --> 0:58:21.240
<v Speaker 1>maneuver around something, and a wheel goes in there. That's

0:58:21.280 --> 0:58:23.360
<v Speaker 1>gonna be expensive. I mean, no matter what kind of

0:58:23.400 --> 0:58:25.120
<v Speaker 1>you could put a metal grade or something over it.

0:58:25.200 --> 0:58:27.880
<v Speaker 1>But again you're starting to get more and more expensive,

0:58:27.920 --> 0:58:30.120
<v Speaker 1>and you know, like you know, it's just it's it

0:58:30.200 --> 0:58:33.120
<v Speaker 1>becomes more and more complex. There's something is still a

0:58:33.160 --> 0:58:35.840
<v Speaker 1>little nerve racking about crawling under a car that's up

0:58:35.840 --> 0:58:38.840
<v Speaker 1>on a jack or up on jack stands. Yes, there is.

0:58:39.120 --> 0:58:42.720
<v Speaker 1>I take the whole Yeah, take the would Yeah yeah, okay,

0:58:42.880 --> 0:58:45.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean if I if I had my druthers, yeah,

0:58:45.280 --> 0:58:47.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm with Kurt on that I would, I would want.

0:58:47.440 --> 0:58:49.400
<v Speaker 1>I would want like a hole with an L shape

0:58:49.400 --> 0:58:52.640
<v Speaker 1>at least that you know, it goes out from either

0:58:52.720 --> 0:58:54.640
<v Speaker 1>the back or the front of the car and then

0:58:54.680 --> 0:58:57.720
<v Speaker 1>curves around so you have a workspace under there and

0:58:57.840 --> 0:59:01.680
<v Speaker 1>you can walk down the stairs like a man instead

0:59:01.680 --> 0:59:06.960
<v Speaker 1>of a worm. Like. Yeah, but see, I mean you're

0:59:07.000 --> 0:59:09.400
<v Speaker 1>just you're just opening up a larger hole in your floor.

0:59:10.160 --> 0:59:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Every know, it's a great plan. Yeah, it's well, yeah,

0:59:13.480 --> 0:59:16.320
<v Speaker 1>you're an idea guy. That's it's you know, it's it's

0:59:16.360 --> 0:59:19.280
<v Speaker 1>the thing is like, it's just it just becomes more

0:59:19.280 --> 0:59:21.640
<v Speaker 1>and more complex as right as you think it through.

0:59:21.720 --> 0:59:24.200
<v Speaker 1>And and yeah, these are great to have, and it's fun.

0:59:24.280 --> 0:59:25.840
<v Speaker 1>It's fun to say it and everything, like, it'd be

0:59:25.840 --> 0:59:27.040
<v Speaker 1>great to have a pit, you know, it would be

0:59:27.080 --> 0:59:29.520
<v Speaker 1>so much so much easier to do this oil change.

0:59:29.560 --> 0:59:30.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, if I had to pit down there, but

0:59:31.320 --> 0:59:34.160
<v Speaker 1>just think of having that pit around year round for

0:59:34.320 --> 0:59:36.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, a couple of times you needed or um,

0:59:36.960 --> 0:59:38.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, not being able to do certain things. I

0:59:38.520 --> 0:59:40.320
<v Speaker 1>think they would be frustrating too. It's like if you

0:59:40.800 --> 0:59:42.920
<v Speaker 1>had if you had a great pit that was already

0:59:42.960 --> 0:59:46.360
<v Speaker 1>dug in the bins basement, and there's certain repairs that

0:59:46.400 --> 0:59:47.680
<v Speaker 1>you can't do in the pit, you know, like you

0:59:48.000 --> 0:59:51.040
<v Speaker 1>have to do the above ground just because of acts

0:59:51.080 --> 0:59:53.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, you don't have access to it. So, um,

0:59:53.400 --> 0:59:55.520
<v Speaker 1>there'll be that frustrating side of the whole thing too.

0:59:55.520 --> 0:59:56.960
<v Speaker 1>But I mean the lift would take care of a

0:59:56.960 --> 0:59:58.680
<v Speaker 1>lot of that. I mean, it would take care of

0:59:58.720 --> 1:00:01.600
<v Speaker 1>you know that's yeah, lift under the way you had

1:00:01.600 --> 1:00:05.320
<v Speaker 1>access above you have four posts. Yeah, I mean it

1:00:05.320 --> 1:00:08.280
<v Speaker 1>to be safe, I guess it would be safest. Um.

1:00:08.320 --> 1:00:12.200
<v Speaker 1>But anyways, I think that, like again, I hope this

1:00:12.360 --> 1:00:15.440
<v Speaker 1>this whole show didn't like just come on glued when

1:00:15.440 --> 1:00:17.919
<v Speaker 1>I started mentioning all this other stuff. But I really

1:00:17.960 --> 1:00:20.000
<v Speaker 1>do feel like there's just a lot of really smart,

1:00:20.320 --> 1:00:23.280
<v Speaker 1>affordable or even free things that a lot of people

1:00:23.320 --> 1:00:25.640
<v Speaker 1>could do to their grudge that they're just not thinking

1:00:25.720 --> 1:00:27.640
<v Speaker 1>of right now. Are they don't have the time to

1:00:27.640 --> 1:00:30.240
<v Speaker 1>to put to it. If they did, though, they might

1:00:30.280 --> 1:00:32.120
<v Speaker 1>find it to be a much more enjoyable place to

1:00:32.120 --> 1:00:33.960
<v Speaker 1>be and they might actually get more work done on

1:00:34.000 --> 1:00:36.080
<v Speaker 1>the vehicle that they want to work on. You know,

1:00:36.160 --> 1:00:38.280
<v Speaker 1>it might just be more pleasant place to to go

1:00:38.320 --> 1:00:41.400
<v Speaker 1>in and hang out. And I hope that message is

1:00:41.440 --> 1:00:42.800
<v Speaker 1>getting through to a lot of people, you know that,

1:00:42.880 --> 1:00:46.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, just spend a little time decluttering and cleaning

1:00:46.240 --> 1:00:48.200
<v Speaker 1>and thinking things through a bit if you can, you know,

1:00:48.200 --> 1:00:51.600
<v Speaker 1>and have have somebody that's good at organization take a

1:00:51.600 --> 1:00:53.120
<v Speaker 1>look at it with you and that helps too. You know,

1:00:53.160 --> 1:00:54.600
<v Speaker 1>if you have a friend that's good at that type

1:00:54.600 --> 1:00:56.920
<v Speaker 1>of thing, have them look at it. And there's a

1:00:56.920 --> 1:00:59.680
<v Speaker 1>ton of information online and a lot again a lot

1:00:59.720 --> 1:01:02.400
<v Speaker 1>of pensive ideas, but a lot of really clever ideas

1:01:02.400 --> 1:01:05.560
<v Speaker 1>for storage and um you know, just simple like simple

1:01:05.560 --> 1:01:07.840
<v Speaker 1>garage makeover ideas. A lot of them do get into

1:01:07.880 --> 1:01:10.840
<v Speaker 1>the expensive cabinets and you know, stone countertops and that

1:01:10.880 --> 1:01:13.520
<v Speaker 1>type of you know, stuff you don't need, um, but

1:01:13.520 --> 1:01:16.840
<v Speaker 1>but look within your budget, you know, make it, make

1:01:16.880 --> 1:01:18.960
<v Speaker 1>it work, and I think you're gonna be happier with

1:01:18.960 --> 1:01:20.960
<v Speaker 1>it in the end. Really, I mean, I really do

1:01:21.040 --> 1:01:23.720
<v Speaker 1>I think that that that's what I've learned through this

1:01:23.720 --> 1:01:26.560
<v Speaker 1>whole process, and again I need to get mine in

1:01:26.680 --> 1:01:29.720
<v Speaker 1>much much better condition. But I'm already seeing progress and

1:01:29.760 --> 1:01:32.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm happy with it. Oh. I would also say, I

1:01:32.760 --> 1:01:35.280
<v Speaker 1>think it's so cool to have a sound system in

1:01:35.320 --> 1:01:38.560
<v Speaker 1>a garage. Uh maybe maybe not a TV. I'm still

1:01:38.600 --> 1:01:40.920
<v Speaker 1>kind of torn on the TV. You know. I'm not

1:01:41.000 --> 1:01:43.360
<v Speaker 1>big on the TV because I don't spend that much

1:01:43.400 --> 1:01:44.880
<v Speaker 1>time out there, you know. I mean I do go

1:01:44.960 --> 1:01:46.880
<v Speaker 1>there and hang out occasionally, just you know, sit on

1:01:46.880 --> 1:01:49.240
<v Speaker 1>a milk crate in the corner, you know, and and uh,

1:01:49.280 --> 1:01:51.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, listen to music and work on something that

1:01:51.760 --> 1:01:54.360
<v Speaker 1>can hold in my lap or at the at the um,

1:01:54.400 --> 1:01:58.080
<v Speaker 1>at the desk or the not the bench top, um,

1:01:58.320 --> 1:02:00.320
<v Speaker 1>goof around stuff out there. It's it's just a nice

1:02:00.360 --> 1:02:02.960
<v Speaker 1>place to do that. And yeah, I'm not crazy about

1:02:02.960 --> 1:02:04.320
<v Speaker 1>like just going out there and hanging out. I don't

1:02:04.320 --> 1:02:06.120
<v Speaker 1>have a couch. I don't have It's not like a

1:02:06.320 --> 1:02:09.240
<v Speaker 1>like a den or anything like any like you don't

1:02:09.240 --> 1:02:12.280
<v Speaker 1>have like a cooler, a yetie cooler or something. They

1:02:12.280 --> 1:02:14.640
<v Speaker 1>don't have anything. Like Some people do that kind of

1:02:14.680 --> 1:02:17.080
<v Speaker 1>thing though, like they bring you know, they stock a

1:02:17.360 --> 1:02:19.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, refrigerator, full of beer and they pick a couch,

1:02:19.640 --> 1:02:21.560
<v Speaker 1>like a couch they picked up again at a thrift

1:02:21.600 --> 1:02:24.240
<v Speaker 1>shop or something, you know, throw throw a rug out

1:02:24.240 --> 1:02:26.560
<v Speaker 1>there and you know TV on the wall, and you

1:02:26.600 --> 1:02:30.840
<v Speaker 1>know they're watching the game out there, but it's not work. Yeah,

1:02:30.840 --> 1:02:33.600
<v Speaker 1>that's transformed into something. Yeah. That that's what you just

1:02:33.680 --> 1:02:36.040
<v Speaker 1>don't do the work you plan to do. Yeah, that's

1:02:36.320 --> 1:02:41.080
<v Speaker 1>that's that's that's that's really that's that's pretty funny. Yeah,

1:02:41.080 --> 1:02:43.560
<v Speaker 1>that's a that's a good point. Yeah, and mine's not

1:02:43.640 --> 1:02:45.240
<v Speaker 1>to that point. And I don't even think I wanted

1:02:45.280 --> 1:02:46.360
<v Speaker 1>to be at that point. I just wanted to be

1:02:46.400 --> 1:02:48.840
<v Speaker 1>functional and I wanted to be comfortable. And I think

1:02:48.840 --> 1:02:53.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm getting I'm getting there. Well' getting the lighting probably lighting, yeah,

1:02:53.040 --> 1:02:55.040
<v Speaker 1>I think lighting, and maybe even the door instulation now

1:02:55.040 --> 1:02:57.120
<v Speaker 1>that Ben's convinced me that that's the way to go. Hey,

1:02:57.960 --> 1:03:02.800
<v Speaker 1>got beat that summer heat somehow. Yeah. And you can also, uh,

1:03:02.840 --> 1:03:05.720
<v Speaker 1>you can get some pretty easy solutions if you want it.

1:03:06.480 --> 1:03:08.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to say it's lazy, but if you

1:03:08.680 --> 1:03:11.480
<v Speaker 1>feel like time is it a premium for you, you

1:03:11.520 --> 1:03:13.600
<v Speaker 1>can pay someone else to do it too. Yeah. You

1:03:13.600 --> 1:03:16.400
<v Speaker 1>know that's another thing that I found is that. You know,

1:03:16.840 --> 1:03:20.800
<v Speaker 1>people are treating their garage space now like they treat closets.

1:03:20.800 --> 1:03:22.760
<v Speaker 1>Like when you get a custom closet made. A lot

1:03:22.760 --> 1:03:24.800
<v Speaker 1>of people have you know, someone come in and consult

1:03:24.880 --> 1:03:27.320
<v Speaker 1>them and say, here's what you need. You need these shelves,

1:03:27.320 --> 1:03:32.040
<v Speaker 1>you need this many like crazy, Well I know, but people. Yeah,

1:03:32.040 --> 1:03:33.760
<v Speaker 1>they have people come out and kind of consult them

1:03:33.760 --> 1:03:35.240
<v Speaker 1>and tell them what they need. And you know, you

1:03:35.240 --> 1:03:37.160
<v Speaker 1>you tell them what you want out of the out

1:03:37.160 --> 1:03:39.360
<v Speaker 1>of the space and they will provide it. I mean

1:03:39.400 --> 1:03:42.560
<v Speaker 1>it's expensive again, but um, that's the way people are

1:03:42.800 --> 1:03:46.560
<v Speaker 1>doing this now. There's there's garage reorganization tricks that people

1:03:46.560 --> 1:03:49.400
<v Speaker 1>are using, and you know they're also sharing them online,

1:03:49.400 --> 1:03:51.520
<v Speaker 1>which is nice. So like if you if you have

1:03:51.880 --> 1:03:54.080
<v Speaker 1>some ideas, get online sharing with with other people in

1:03:54.120 --> 1:03:56.480
<v Speaker 1>the community that are excited about that type of thing too.

1:03:56.520 --> 1:03:58.600
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, who knows, maybe you know, some of the

1:03:58.640 --> 1:04:02.760
<v Speaker 1>stuff will be something that you can see yourself doing,

1:04:02.880 --> 1:04:04.640
<v Speaker 1>or maybe some of the stuff is just so outlandish

1:04:04.680 --> 1:04:06.840
<v Speaker 1>that you don't want it. Um, like I'm not crazy

1:04:06.880 --> 1:04:11.680
<v Speaker 1>about like customer, you know, the lighting and stuff like that. Yeah, yeah,

1:04:11.680 --> 1:04:13.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't need anything like that, And I'm not I'm

1:04:13.240 --> 1:04:16.080
<v Speaker 1>not really sold on like epoxy floor coating or anything

1:04:16.120 --> 1:04:18.760
<v Speaker 1>like that yet. UM paint is fine for now, you know,

1:04:18.840 --> 1:04:22.080
<v Speaker 1>just an outdoor paint, but something durable. But yeah, there's

1:04:22.080 --> 1:04:25.560
<v Speaker 1>certain there's like different levels that everybody's comfortable with. And

1:04:25.920 --> 1:04:27.920
<v Speaker 1>just find your own level, find your own budget and

1:04:28.040 --> 1:04:30.080
<v Speaker 1>uh and do it and you'll be happy with it.

1:04:30.360 --> 1:04:33.880
<v Speaker 1>And let us know what improvements you have made to

1:04:33.880 --> 1:04:37.080
<v Speaker 1>your garage. Let us know what you got hilariously wrong

1:04:37.840 --> 1:04:40.320
<v Speaker 1>if you're in that situation, so that we and your

1:04:40.320 --> 1:04:44.880
<v Speaker 1>fellow listeners can learn from those mistakes. You can send

1:04:44.920 --> 1:04:47.880
<v Speaker 1>your garage war stories to us directly. We are car

1:04:47.920 --> 1:04:51.800
<v Speaker 1>stuff at I heart radio dot com. We also, you know,

1:04:51.880 --> 1:04:54.880
<v Speaker 1>we'd love to see any pictures you have. If you
