Basement Workshop Overhaul & Finishing - Part 1

[@Bretts_Builds]

Part 2 is here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJWuY4xtpdVrnLs Sorry for the wait, I'm attempting a kitchen remodel between videos. Wish me luck!

[@heriioo404]

Way better watching someone do this for themselves rather than for their job. Love it!

[@heriioo404]

Dab on whomever said you don't need a tv down there LOL

[@Dwilli9013]

So glad I stumbled onto your site. Very refreshing to see someone doing it for themselves without any sponsors. Love the time lapse aspect of your vids. Great job on your new space. Great job on all the repurposing you do.

[@dadoe]

Kinda dig the upside down brick panel look. Great idea for the odd corner.

[@hardrock1826]

Excellent job. Like you, I tend to do everything alone as well. Loved your musical accompaniment. I see many productive days ahead.

[@stankyp.7858]

Gorgeous job! Gorgeous room! God bless you, your family and your house.

[@Bretts_Builds]

Thank you!

[@heru-deshet359]

Sweet. Only thing I would do is paint the ceiling white for an added feeling of more height since I'm a tall guy.

[@BAKERHUSKIE]

Gooood job. I'm trying to finish mine. Getting some ideas.

[@suggz66]

Very well made video! No time wasted, Informative & easy to understand !!! I have a similar basement that I intend to improve in much the same way as your good self sir so found this very helpful & inspirational!! I have been told by my doctor to consider alternatives to my current employment as a back injury has made it necessary to re-adjust my options for earning a living & this could be one solution. Many thanks!!!

[@Bretts_Builds]

Thanks for watching Steve, sorry about your back, hope all works out.

[@ericwilliams8988]

Just found this video Brett. This is exactly what I needed! Keep up the good work!

[@josephwalter662]

Nice Tsquare trick on the sheetrock! Enjoying the video very relaxing

[@helshabini]

The dab took me by surprise. Bravo!

[@MrFlyrod7]

Wow and I thought my new shop was taking long. Great job!

[@Johansentrae]

So much room for activities!

[@clivemonnity3]

GREAT JOB LOOKS GREAT.

[@barryjmenard]

Great video! Thanks for sharing your process!

[@TimRoyalPastortim]

Great job! Love how you left the rock foundation exposed under the bench

[@bogey2230]

this...all day long

[@dennisdownes9319]

Very nice!!!

[@banga8080]

Shop looking good I'm stealing your odd corner idea I've had to level a floor before I feel your pain Keep wrenchn

[@Bretts_Builds]

Thanks! Yeah glad I didn't go with the epoxy floor, mats are holding up well against the casters

[@newstart49]

I saw this video before. Same thing happened as last time. I'll watch it again to see if anything has changed.

[@travelingkaspersworld4096]

I have nothing but good things to say! Keep building and keep living!!!!!

[@iljakudrjavtsev1292]

I love how around 12 minutes You just can't avoid stopping in front of the TV :D

[@a.rsneaks1953]

Great transformation 👍

[@wpsa100]

Well done!!!! 👍👍👍

[@pachenkopp6998]

uzun zamandır böyle keyifli bir video izlememiştim çok çok beğendim

[@paulbull3765]

Fantastic work mate, you did a great job of that. Really like the flooring you put down. New subscriber from Australia 🇦🇺👍👍

[@ProjectsandReviewsZone]

Thanks for reminding me to clean up my garage.

[@farmerjim-fat-man-do]

Looking good. About to convert a small space into a shop and will be using some of your ideas. One thing i noticed...sump pump shouldn't be installed on a GFCI. I understand wanting to protect yourself but if it trips you can have a flood on your hands. Been an electrician for 20+ years and we never use GFCI on sumps. Have always used a single receptacle. It satisfies code everywhere i have worked. Obviously, if you want to work on the sump pump or pull it up while submerged you should unplug it first.

[@trueleyes]

"THAT'S...… a LOT of WORK! ! ! BRAVO my man, well done. nice video and cool music

[@SomethingFromTheShed]

oh man yoyr new man cave looks amazing so far. well done buddy i cant wait fornthe next part

[@Bretts_Builds]

[@fredboat]

[@davidbaker5185]

Pretty solid effort mate!!!

[@agentstarling9998]

Excellent!!!!!

[@SKTWoodDesign]

Great Work!

[@georgeghaly4130]

One thing to say....... Nice work.

[@BK0408]

That was just amazing!!!

[@NathanCopeland]

Awesome. Flip your flag around. Stars on the left always 👍🏻 never mind you did in part 2

[@pec1739]

this is so fun !

[@shaggybikes]

great work!, enjoy your cave

[@hbcgraphics5058]

This is so awesome

[@Bretts_Builds]

thank you!

[@Clutterbug]

That was a lot of work, looks great!

[@Bretts_Builds]

Thank you!

[@OrdinaryJoe12]

Loved the dart board idea

[@riff2072]

Nice job with the work shop.

[@BKMakes]

Post-TV-install dab ftw!😄👍🏻

[@lazmotron]

When things are done right it takes a lot of work

[@TomColontonio]

Incredible

[@ripntearslayer9101]

The brick partition, i can guarentee it used to be a fireplace chimney. The hole thats in it, you could get away with a single wall stove pipe on a stove/furnace/heater, going thru there without worry. Im actually a little jealous of that

[@Bretts_Builds]

I was thinking about doing something like that but I found out the chimney doesn't actually go anywhere. They broke the top off in the attic and roofed over it.

[@vlatkodelovski2035]

Great job!! i like it

[@nomad8207]

Like your workspace bud love the movie that played in the background { Face Off } well done dud.

[@tomzahlman1156]

Looking good. Down the road consider a French cleat wall system instead of peg board.

[@Bretts_Builds]

I would consider it but the cleats always fill up with saw dust, especially with all my sanding tools sitting there.

[@russellsmalls318]

Good job and you did it in your own.

[@PhG1961]

Great video adn what supprises me, a really nice music track !

[@sgtron116]

Nice job!

[@rjennis3339]

Awesome video! Looks like I will need more dart boards..

[@NomadMakes]

Man... That is a lot of progress in one video! Looking forward to the next. Cheers.

[@kenny4903]

Damn that’s a nice space. In the progress of buying a house, hope to get the garage up to this standard. Kudos

[@user-tp7mv7qq6j]

Cool as fuck i love how you did it all by your self.

[@rafbenedicto1233]

Muy bien hecho.

[@faiceman2480]

Amazing! congrats for the hard work!

[@domesticelectricinthekeys]

Best part is that he was the pianist for the back round music🤘

[@memento316]

There isn't any man cave without a dartsboard!!! Well done!!

[@hebierob]

Nice job my friend!

[@MrMaritoJavier]

Love the video!!! Great workshop!!!

[@rodneyratcliffe7749]

Love your work soace bro! And i have to say you work pretty fast lol..

[@Bretts_Builds]

Thanks! I had a few energy drinks lol

[@brenno3735]

Awesome soundtrack.

[@iljanster]

Sooo cool man!

[@Rudimentary007]

Damn cool 👍.

[@teddyjakeddy975]

Hanging the dart board around brick and I'd have a bunch of dull darts before long. Great job.

[@Bretts_Builds]

The funny thing is, I don't even have darts lol

[@patrickseynave5074]

bravo!

[@SuperfloDee]

Outstanding🙏🏻👍🍺

[@keithspencersr.6806]

Your the man!!!

[@Frankengruvin]

Still watching (about halfway through) and I just had to say I'm digging the music. Piano is awesome!

[@Bretts_Builds]

Glad you like it!

[@yrrek1983]

that was entertaining as hell

[@The_Joker_]

The new lights! The difference was light night and day...... I’ll get my coat 😬

[@cifcig]

Install a TV, watch some shows while doing wood work. Good idea!

[@KSFWG]

That looks great man!!

[@Bretts_Builds]

Thank you!

[@professornunu1142]

Looks amazing but, will there be a part 2? You left a lot of spots untouched

[@ThiagoCBarna]

Very good Congrat From Brazil

[@MoscaWoodworking]

this is a great space!!

[@Bretts_Builds]

Thank you!

[@josephdestaubin7426]

Looks great! But word to the wise, the polly floor is going to have culturs living under it that will result in an oder with in a year or so. The product is not made for below grade, or even on grede. You could nail sleapers on the concrete, fallowd 6 mil plastic 3/4 ply, followed by your fooring. Alternatively, you could do a self-leveling product made by Ardex that's made to be walked on as a finished floor. I'm not sure if that can go in the basement though, but it should be fine because they're allowed to breathe.

[@Bretts_Builds]

Yeah that sounds great but I don't have any money lol

[@ser4279]

Красавчик,красавчик чё сказать👍

[@Aluxious45]

7:46! Lol! That was awesome.

[@suzylarry1]

blue side out for drywall, it's backwards.

[@Bretts_Builds]

It should face the moisture which is on the other side of the wall. The inside is nice and dry.

[@suzylarry1]

@@Bretts_Builds point taken !

[@timflanigan8586]

The proper way to install that would have been to have been some form of vapor barrier, then insulate and as John said, green side out. It’s less the paper and more what formula the chalkboard contains. The color is to indicate purpose. Also, those joints are going to crack. They needed tape, which the other side was shaped to contain.... great makeover! Wouldn’t recognize it!

[@a.rsneaks1953]

@@Bretts_Builds colour is to indicate what the board is Fire,sound,moisture and so on.It's not a Visqueen nor moisture repellent. Colour side out is the way it should have been done. As John said its backwards

[@anderslolle2147]

The dab caught me off guard, that was way too funny 😂😂

[@Bretts_Builds]

awwww yeaaaaaaahhh boiiiiiiii. Thanks for noticing, I was starting to think no one would see it.

[@DIY3DTECHcom]

Whew! I got tied just watching!

[@PowerToolsForBeginners]

turned out great

[@dniliveact]

great one ❤

[@heikow.7627]

Awesome video, awesome shop! Greetings from Germany

[@mechanicforlife9468]

Nicely done!

[@jeanloreaud9282]

Très joli travail et beau résultat bravo salut Jeannot 😉🛠

[@outwrite11]

Looks well cozy! Nice work fella! #UK

[@port3d]

Amazing!! Is that your hobby shop or you do woodstuff as job? 1) how long it took to renovate this? 2) approx cost?

[@uknowulikethat4042]

big difference already, nice work. the wall with the smaller opening, looks a good place for storage, are you going to open it out to the room? I know you'll probably show it in the next video but i'm impatient :)

[@global-village]

Nice and clean job

[@DohcterT]

Was that floor drain not functioning? Probably would come in handy for any unforeseen flooding. Great video though

[@Bretts_Builds]

Nah don't need it anymore. The whole perimeter now has a drainage system

[@TheDomanominus]

it s so nice job

[@coolmoodee]

Nice job bro....

[@idubbzz7790]

nice work in my opinion i would have used the crafts man wall panels with the moveing hooks that move side to side n what not

[@evgene-pushkar]

very nice!)))))
