Anthony's Relatable Garage: A Car Enthusiast's Clean-Slate Build | 3-Car Bay (630 sq. ft.)

[@scottmattern482]

Very clean garage, I'm impressed. The best heating/cooling solution for a garage, in my opinion, is a mini-split heat pump system. All you need is a 1.5" hole in the wall for the refrigerant lines and power cord to connect the indoor wall mounted unit and the exterior compressor. You can get sufficient heat to -20 in the winter and you will have an air conditioned garage in the summer. Not to mention, mini split heat pumps are some of the most efficient HVAC systems available.

[@SpringMtnHiker]

A mini-split unit is one of the best investments I made into my garage. I 2nd this and highly recommend it!

[@joeyjustice9698]

Anthony's garage is legit. I listen to all the podcast throughout the week driving to work and his personality definitely come to life in that garage. As much as I love Obsessed Garage builds, I often feel that budget wise they are not obtainable at this point in my life but Anthony's garage was a garage with some hard work and an average budget is very obtainable. I'm sure this build will inspire others. Great job guys.

[@davidpoto9856]

built my house here in oregon in 2005 with a detached 26 x 40 garage for me me me; has attic space like yours with a pull down ladder for this old man. track flooring bypass sliding doors for storage and a couple baldhead drawers and also craftsman tall ones. (your husky's look exactly like my craftsman's) lighting from Chicage ice cream cone swirl 6500 bulbs, led's and numerous 4 footers; also lights out in front for nite or early am detailing. even put in two stainless steel fish cleaning like tables to hold products and never a fish for sure. have a couple pennants lots of pics of my own cars of the past mg through mercedes amg. now i just keep redoing with rag company and p and s products. thanks for the video

That Red Honda Civic!! I’m in Love! Real clean build👌👌

[@1stfrompuertorico568]

1st Anthony the pet picker and pacifier 😄 Large garage👌👍 At my old home I had the Griot's Garage floor mats and they protected extremely well the floors and were extremely easy to clean and whatever tool or parts dropped to the floor they were easy to pick and all. When I sold it the family wanted me to keep them so they were part of the negotiation.😄 Also, they were comfortable to walk on them. Yes, Costco brings lots of extremely affordable stuff for the garage makeovers, it is just a matter of checking constantly.

[@VW.907]

I think most pro's spray and back roll, so I wouldn't feel bad about that. * haha goodness! That ending!

[@lloydgthedetailer]

Just installed my Swiss Trax, but I epoxied the floor first and I'm glad I did, dirt and grime washes out easily. 👍

[@Adam_S281]

Wait… this is alldayanthony?! 😂😂 wow, where have I been

[@automagicnation7178]

Love seeing that Auto Magic bottle on that cart!!! Very relatable for us! ;)

[@GR-zn8je]

Swisstraxx on the ceiling FTW!!

[@adamkwasnaza]

I have those racks and they are great, two suggestions, I cut sheets of 1/2” prefinished ply wood to cover the wire racks, that made storing smaller items easier plus the totes would slide out easier. Second is you can join the two sets by eliminating one of the uprights in the center and use both sets of holes in the middle. This also allows you to expand two racks to three. Sweet garage setup.

[@jeffc6832]

Being that Boise doesn't get many days below zero, a mini split might be a great option for heating and cooling. Only one small hole through the wall is required, and you can even get DIY systems (Mr. Cool DIY) from Home Depot that are pre-charged. Drill a hole, hang the indoor unit, set the outdoor unit, run the lines and line-hide, connect and you're ready to go once you get an electrician to wire it up. This would probably be the perfect size for a garage like this: MRCOOL DIY Gen-3 18,000 BTU 20 SEER ENERGY STAR Ductless Mini Split Air Conditioner & Heat Pump w/ 25 ft. Install Kit 230-Volt /p/MRCOOL-DIY-Gen-3-18-000-BTU-20-SEER-ENERGY-STAR-Ductless-Mini-Split-Air-Conditioner-Heat-Pump-w-25-ft-Install-Kit-230-Volt-DIY18-HP-230B25/311900321

[@rentman1225]

So true about inexpensive paint sprayers. 🙂 Great looking garage!

[@tom_schroeder]

I love the clean slate, and truly appreciate the above garage storage solution to get all the clutter out of the way. I did something similar with a smaller above garage attic. Adding a French cleat wall would look beautiful, give the garage a personality, and provide flexible custom storage for the future.

[@edmundiverson6377]

Another great garage full of ideas we can use, especially if we have less than an unlimited budget! Filling the wide open white walls with some posters and/or memorabilia, or a few wall shelves to hold unique items would add that personal touch!

[@themeridianmarmot1413]

Something needs to be done about that orange beast! He chased me into that red car and then I had to have a finely atomized and blueberry scented shower! I felt the dirt being encapsulated right off of me...it was terrible!

[@joelcleare]

Soooo I have the same garage. I’m in transition to upgrade like yourself. Please keep us all updated !!

[@Forcedinduction_Drive]

This series is great motivation to clean up my garage.

[@jdhein32]

Clean Garage has some pretty awesome storage racks for both detailing products and other garage used items.

[@ricardob9676]

Anthony the pegboard wall is definitely worth it I love mine. It's also great for displaing that nut busting torque solution package and all your other tools on the wall.

[@SpringMtnHiker]

Anthony, I would suggest having the sink installed to the right of those electrical outlets if possible. Having a sink installed underneath an electrical outlet....well you know, LOL. Your garage looks great and you have great ideas for it!

[@Ohjustyoshi]

Dane, as a former editor, I feel your pain while watching this video. But the show must go on!

[@ShelbinIdaho]

Love the rolling cart for the detailing products! Might use that idea in our garage.

[@joelcleare]

I plug my hose directly into my water Softner. Central AZ has crappy hard water too.

[@jeffc6832]

I feel like I've seen this garage on KZbin before...

[@Ed-fy1xq]

Awesome garage, Anthony. I think you'd enjoy having a quick jack on one of those spaces. Would make working on your cars a breeze

[@allan5721]

After having a sink in the garage, it's hard to imagine not having one, so definitely the way to go.

[@davidwhitehorn8558]

If you are wanting to break up the bright whiteness of the walls I would suggest trimming out and painting the bottom 24” or so in a darker gray or slate blue. It would help to hide any staining from anything that splashes up off the floor and give it a clean look.

[@KiaTia09]

Love these realistic garage videos! The only thing I don’t see is any lawn mowers or grass trimming tools.

[@simonmillar9161]

really liking this series and this one in particular has given me some real inspiration for my garage I'm trying to work out what I'm going to do with it

[@themeridianmeower7748]

Jeez thanks for evicting me. I said I was sorry about the evo!😭

[@anthonypecoraro5402]

Beautiful garage nice setup

[@matthewchaston1218]

Fantastic video guys! Anthony should consider paint parts of the garage in Harbor Gray AC-25 | Benjamin Moore.

[@Buckyvw]

Great garage. I'm certain I've seen this garage on KZbin before but I'm sure I'm imagining things. Would be cool to run water to the pressure washer from the hot water tank. Especially warm water with a mixing valve for winter. As for decorating the walls, in the "show car" bay, maybe hang some of your favorite automotive related photos you've taken. You have a talent with it, might as well show it off. Awesome setup so far!

[@nicolomarchillo4451]

It’s really cool to see set ups like this. I think someone who sets their mind to saving money can do this DIY affordable. A smaller 2 car garage could be done for under 2k I bet

[@DetailMatrix]

Cool outro!

[@trapcracker]

Definitely go Swisstrax!

[@joshuakent3972]

For the walls I would do grey with glossy baby blue pinstripes/design maybe some overlapping different size circles.

[@joshuakent3972]

That husky mechanics set is great, the only thing I wish it came with is a swivel adapter. Also some way to lock the drawers closed, idk how many times my sockets almost went flying.

[@Ruhdiculus]

Anthony will you please give this cat a beautiful home? He obviously loves you.

[@KiranPatel-fk1pg]

Painting either the sides or the back wall grey could be cool.

[@ulyssesluevano257]

I heard Grant Hawtree’s family!!! #freethehawtrees

[@piggietruckerjones7545]

Looks great. For flooring I would love you to find an affordable alternative to swiss tracks for all us married broke dads. Also what are those brass looking pipe things by your water heater?

[@ralphmendoza4563]

I would patina the concrete floor and seal it down, oil resistant (RUSTIC LOOKING). great video

[@FlipnKraut]

NewAge makes shelves you can mount on the wall near the ceiling. Very clean solution and gets things off the ground. Little over $100 for a 2x8 ft shelf.

[@1kontrabida]

Great job on the garage diy'ing is not easy i can relate to that so props to Anthony ive done this quite a few times and its easy in the end but very taxing from the start and midway through lol, Designing a space can get crazy and frustrating but if you follow the 3F's in automotive and the like you'll be fine, Form Follows Function .For suggestions and jmho: First pick 3 garages that you have seen and or inspires you and compare to ur current set up , this will give you an idea on how close or far you are from your goal, next you figure out the things you want and need and after that the hard part which is you compromise on the things you have, can do and afford and then do the project in stages and enjoy the journey along this is what i call reality lol...Now to add pop i would re consider doing the ceiling since your set on white walls so maybe black, gun metal or anything dark and switch to the octagon lighting for the ceiling or switch lightings at least to add visual appeal, 2nd i would paint the storage racks in white and if your really up for it do the husky storage in white as well or sell those and switch to all to a white ones . Then i would organize all the husky's together (not too far apart or have something in between that ties them in) to make it more seamless, i would move the ceiling lights on the side walls and re extra would do rollable lighting so you can move them around when you detail or work on your car or etc. Don't worry about your floors they look awesome as is for now and doing your floors now will just add visual overload, i would focus on making the walls,ceiling more seamless..we are all victims of buying stuff randomly and on anthony's case , moved in to a new home which is again relatable with most of us and then we end up trying to make it work in unison and in a lot of cases don't really work/blend so the best solution is to plan, organize, paint and coordinate.Hope this helps, good luck and can't wait to see the build!

[@rjongkind]

Damn, such a nice space! If you're going to use multi-color Swisstrax it will already look less sterile, but sterile is a good thing in my opinion.. :)

[@MyGuyKirby]

Anthony, I need a air hose reel to be portable. Do you like yours? Thinking of mounting it on 2x12 wood to carry around as portable, is yours from Harbor Freight?

[@justintx75]

Could you post a link or give info on the hobby cart please?

[@draffa5798]

Have you thought about granite grip? You can do it yourself for the fraction of the cost of epoxy or swiss trax

[@jdhein32]

Poka Premium storage solutions is the way to go.

[@gsr1379]

Slat wall solutions look better then peg board. But prob more options for peg

[@wilsontam2399]

Ductless AC unit is the way to go. You can get ac and heat!

very nice 👍👍👍👍👍

Quickjack get what your working on higher, ****** make sure your ceiling is designed to take load, weight up their.

[@charlesbardforth6738]

Do the door frames and skirting in black.

[@noturnsignals6181]

I prefer a polished concrete floor over epoxy personally

[@sean6272]

lmaoooo that ending

[@samtaylor7780]

Was that the cat that battled the marmot?

[@flemmingjensen3202]

I "sealed" my concrete floor with water glass (if that's the word in English?) Not sure how long it would endure wear and tear, but it was cheap and could at least protect from stains for a while. Furthermore it should bond chemically with the concrete, or so I read on the internet. Don't know if that's true though.

[@originalsupermommy]

Honestly even rolling it 5 gallons wasn't enough paint. Don't think you made a mistake, just a miscalculation.

[@danpfeifer7618]

What's up with that lawn BRO?

[@ricardoalcrudo7769]

wall control pegboard

[@morganmcmurry9872]

[@jasnapon]

Add a few more lights to that ceiling very inexpensive

Jeez these glitches are terrible. Not sure why it’s happening but its bad enough that this shouldve been re-uploaded and fixed

[@bluezklewz8351]

@@theragcompany That is an unfortunate event. That makes more sense. I think in the future it would be worth re-shooting the video, it really detracted from the video. Not this exact video, but if your server were to corrupt future video files.
