40x32 Garage Build Update

“Fully insulated” 😂. With that said excellent job. 👍👍

Great videos, I'm glad youtube put you in my suggestions. I love the work you did, you can tell you take great pride in what you do and what you have. You are very informative and I like that you don't leave out the mistakes you've made. You now have a new subscriber. Good luck with everything and hope to see more of your videos soon. Thanks again for the great content!!!!

[@savemoneydiy87]

Thanks. And thanks for subscribing. I do take pride in my work and don’t mind sharing my mistakes so hopefully it will help others.

[@gregott2011]

Well done video. I have learned that you have to constantly check the work done by professionals you hire. That's why I don't like to hire someone to do what I can do, but I can't do everything and not a lot of what I used to do. That's when you call the pros and either watch their every move or trust them and check their work along the way. You seem to be a talented and patient person. I would not have been good at dealing with the contractors like you did. Keep up the good work and always take time to play with your children.

[@savemoneydiy87]

Thanks. Yeh it’s pretty bad to have to check behind “professionals” but it is what it is. I too pretty much will not pay someone for something that I can do myself. Thanks for the comment.

[@johnpoe4761]

Insulating your garage doors will make a huge difference. Some sound deadening will quiet up the loud metal and some foam and reflective barrier is all easy to install and fairly cheap. You have a nice setup for sure!

[@savemoneydiy87]

Thanks. Yeh I agree it should make it quieter too. Not too worried about it though until I get my ceiling in.

[@snoroof58]

Once again, your garage is sweet! Great job.

[@savemoneydiy87]

Thanks man. I appreciate it.

[@Z-Bart]

Looks great. Nice boat. Thanks for the update.

[@savemoneydiy87]

Thanks. Yeh I really like the boat so far.

[@joehovanec1985]

Nice garage, decent size.

[@savemoneydiy87]

Thanks. It’s a good amount of space but if I would have had more space and money I would have made it bigger. lol.

[@Cbegnaud]

Really nice, and some great insight you have shared throughout your videos. Im in middle ga and will hopefully start on mine next year.

[@savemoneydiy87]

Thanks. I continually learn a lot and get a lot of ideas from KZbin so it’s nice to post videos that may do the same for others.

[@Mrcaffinebean]

Love the openers and the low voltage lighting looks great.

[@savemoneydiy87]

Thanks. I appreciate it.

[@markrobinson8539]

The inside walls of my garage are finished with 4 x8 and 4x9 LP Siding tongue and groove panels. I think you will like the tongue and groove a lot better than drywall. It saves on all that joint mudding, is more sturdy and you don't get all the dust when drilling it for shelves etc. It takes paint nicely too.

[@savemoneydiy87]

That’s cool. Yeh my plan was to do tongue and groove but lumber is outrageous right now, at least in our area so I may just go with drywall.

[@ML-lg4ky]

Lookin good guy! Great weekend work. Add some flood lights over that beautiful driveway! Cheers

[@savemoneydiy87]

Thanks man. I appreciate it.

[@Tom-oj6kw]

I like the garage door opener you installed for the reasons they worked for you. Can you tgell me who the manufacturer is for these openers so I can look into them.

[@savemoneydiy87]

Thanks. They are linked in the description.

[@ronemond5238]

Nice job !

[@savemoneydiy87]

Thanks man.

[@zacksgaragedoorserviceandr1208]

Really good video I really love how you’ve been doing with everything just to let you know you can tell you love nice things so if you wanna make your garage door is much more quieter and lubricate them with PB blaster you can buy it at Home Depot or Lowe’s design for garage doors in your red emergency release rope on each opener make sure you cut off the access road towards the top and burn the end if needed and then it would look cleaner but everything else looks really good keep up the good work

[@savemoneydiy87]

Thanks man. I appreciate it.

[@savemoneydiy87]

I have some of that garage door lube for my house garage door. May shoot some on the doors. And I’ll probably cut the ropes too.

[@zacksgaragedoorserviceandr1208]

Save Money, DIY yeah no problem I always put detail in my work that’s why I mentioned it

[@zacksgaragedoorserviceandr1208]

Save Money, DIY Yeah that sounds really good I am just cut off the access road do not cut the rope that has the emergency handle on it do you know what I mean a lot of garage door experts Mr. steps a lot of people don’t find a big deal but I go by curb appeal air performanceI hope you have a good rest your day and I hope that works out for you

Looks great man ,I could have cut that concrete for ya , I think my brick looks better on the left than Randy's on the right

[@savemoneydiy87]

Thanks. It wasn’t too bad. The jackhammer made getting it up way easier.

[@FB-111A]

Very nice.

[@savemoneydiy87]

Thanks

[@oshtheld]

Why drywall the ceiling? You could spray foam the roof and do no drywall right? I personally like the look of framing exposed. Your shop looks awesome by the way!

[@savemoneydiy87]

Thanks man I appreciate it. I’m actually going to do white metal on the ceiling and blow in insulation. I’m not sure if you could spray foam the roof or not. I’m under the impression your osb on the roof needs to be able to breathe.

[@toddtureau4556]

Great update! thanks for that. It looks like you finished updating your lights. Can you post a picture of the light in the shop with the doors closed or at night? I just got power to my shop and am considering the lights you used. Thanks!

[@savemoneydiy87]

I’m not sure how to post a picture to KZbin. I could email you some if you’d like.

[@sunjaybedi4389]

I think you mentioned you put in insulation but noticed your garage doors are not insulated, being 9’ and 10’ that’s a lot. Almost one whole wall.

[@savemoneydiy87]

Correct. They will be insulated as well before my mini split goes in. In this video I only had the walls insulated. I’ve since completed my ceiling and almost have enough insulation to blow the whole ceiling. I do what I can as I get the money.

[@sunjaybedi4389]

@@savemoneydiy87 nice, we will go with insulated doors and glass in the top pane, we only have two windows going into our 40x45x12 plus a solid man door with no windows. Nice shop.

[@savemoneydiy87]

Thanks. That’s going to be a nice shop. Sometimes I wish I would have put insulated doors in as well but I got a great deal on the doors I have so that’s what I went with.

[@ryanaustin1970]

Beautiful garage you said its full insulated but obviously it isnt . What is the plan for the ceiling insulation and why did you not get the garage doors insulated ?

[@savemoneydiy87]

Thanks. Yeh I meant to say walls were fully insulated. That’s my fault. I plan to do drywall with batt insulation in the ceiling and will insulate the doors myself. I needed to save money so insulated doors were not in the budget.

[@ryanaustin1970]

@@savemoneydiy87 yeah i hear you there , bought a used door , spray foamed it and put aluminum on myself , i did my walls with rockwool insulation and blown in celloulose in the ceiling .

[@vincentip83]

Beautiful shop. What do you do for work?

[@savemoneydiy87]

Thanks. I’m an instrumentation technician at a nuclear plant.

[@JV_214]

You just need a security light installed right off the middle

[@savemoneydiy87]

Yeh I’ll probably end up putting one there

[@ericfraser7543]

I don't think that exposed paper insulation is code, it is supposedly a fire hazard. They made me cover my stuff with sheetrock. Never mind I just saw the end of your video with your remaining refinishing plans...

[@savemoneydiy87]

Lol. All good. You are correct. I had no insulation at the time of final inspection. Once I was done with all that I added insulation and now have the top half of the walls sheetrocked.

[@alimo2000]

How much money for all this

[@savemoneydiy87]

It’s in the description lol. But around 35k

[@alimo2000]

Save Money, DIY but how do I get 35k ?

[@savemoneydiy87]

Took me a lot of overtime.

[@GymRDE]

How did you do the outlets in the metal?

[@savemoneydiy87]

I cut the hole in the metal using a side grinder.

[@jameshalliday412]

I seem to recall you had extra support in the floor for the lift to be in the middle bay. Did you have to cut into the floor, dig it out and pour a thicker pad when you moved the lift over?

[@savemoneydiy87]

No I didn’t cut anything. Lift recommendations are 4” thick 3,000 psi. When I had the grader bring the dirt in he asked me to mark the walls where i wanted the dirt to stop so I did an even line all the way around. I didn’t realize I should have made the back higher than the front so my pad would slope to the front of the shop. So I ended up having to get my slope with my concrete so it’s actually 6” thick at the back and 4” thick at the front and where the lift sits is around 5-5.5” thick. I also used 4,000 psi concrete.

[@acreageliving]

garage doors not insulated though?

[@savemoneydiy87]

They will be. As well as the ceiling

[@guitar14]

Do you think you’ll insulate the garage door panels?

[@savemoneydiy87]

Definitely will. Just not too worried about it until my ceiling gets finished

[@ThePete2432]

I wish I did one wide ass garage door instead of multiple doors.

[@savemoneydiy87]

That would definitely save money. Hind sight is always 20/20

[@MCWI-wn4mq]

I love your set up, I’m looking at building a 40x40 next summer. One question, if you insulated the building why didn’t you get insulated garage doors?

[@savemoneydiy87]

Thanks man. Mainly the cost. I plan on insulating these doors myself once I get my ceiling put in and it is insulated.

[@meggashoes]

How tall is the garage

[@savemoneydiy87]

If you’re talking about the wall height it’s 12ft 6in.

[@amishbuilt]

Your gonna want a divider wall to stop all of the dust from the wood shop getting all over the boat and lift area.

[@savemoneydiy87]

Not a bad idea but I normally just roll my wood tools to the front just outside of the shop.

[@mysterycomment1553]

The garage looks a little smaller then 40 on the front.

[@savemoneydiy87]

Ok.

[@richc8619]

I would like to get a lift for my garage what kind is yours and how tall is it

[@savemoneydiy87]

It’s a Western Manufacturing. It’s 12’ 4” tall at its highest point.

[@richc8619]

@@savemoneydiy87 and inside ur garage height is 12', I was looking at a bend pak and a challenger lift wasn't sure if they would fit as my garage height is 12' also.

[@savemoneydiy87]

My shop height is actually 12’ 8”. I had my lift before I built the shop so I knew how high my ceilings had to be.

[@richc8619]

@@savemoneydiy87 well I screwed that up my height is right at 12'

[@savemoneydiy87]

There still may be other lifts that would fit. Mine just happens to be 12’4”. If mine wouldn’t have fit I would have still used it and just had it in between my trusses.

[@dustinbohn8764]

Why have wall insulation without door and ceiling insulation? The doors and ceiling are most important in a cold climate area where I live...

[@savemoneydiy87]

Had to start somewhere. I’m doing it as I get the money. The ceiling and doors will be done next.

[@kpottersr]

I want to build a garage like yours. I understand that you drew the plans using CAD. Would you be interested in sharing your plans. I can sign some sort of "Hold harmless" agreement, if needed. If so, we can exchange email addresses privately. Thanks, Ken.

[@javiergonzalez-us5is]

Can you share your plans with me? Thanks

[@SteveP-vm1uc]

I shit you not, when you said in another video, that your doors were 9, 10, and 9 foot wide, I wanted to yell at you.. What drew me to your video is the LIFT in the title. My shop is too low for a lift, but it doesn't keep me from dreaming.. Anyway, I have 2 trailers that are 8' 6" wide. My last shop had a 9' door on it and there is NO WAY I was going to be going in and out of there with either of my trailers.... I have 10' 4" from the back wall of my shop to the back fence and backing them into that space is tough.. I welded a receiver for a hitch on the front of my JD tractor just for that.. So what's you thoughts on the 32' deep garage?? I KNOW the answer to the width!! lol...

[@savemoneydiy87]

Yeh I still sometimes wish I made all 3 doors 10’ wide but hindsight is 20/20. 32’ deep is fine for me but you can never go too big. If my yard wasn’t so sloped I would have probably made it 40x40 and if my bank account was big enough it would be even bigger. 32’ is deep enough to have my lift centered and put a car on it and still have plenty of room for my toolbox and everything else in the front.

[@STEADYMOOBIN]
