___________________________________________________________________
Before I start building cabinets for the custom basement bar, I need a workshop! The time came to finally clean out the garage and give it a makeover. In Part 2 of this series, I complete the renovation! I put in a new epoxy floor, install a Rogue squat rack, install tool box cabinets and garage storage, organize the garage, and install new lights. I also make some exterior upgrades as well including new exterior lights, new address numbers, new garage door, and a brand new driveway! I packed a lot in this episode and hope you enjoy the content! Let me know what you think!
Thank you for watching and hopefully you found the video helpful!

TIP for the light... if you leave an extra nut on the screw and then cut the screw to size, you can back the nut off and it will remove the burrs and keep the thread where it needs to be.

[@GoldenKeyDesign]

Great tip, thank you!

[@joebernstein5506]

Cut the head off the screw on the back side of bracket after you unscrew it to the proper length.

[@MagnusSentDooM]

Exactly what I was looking for, a garage gym with space for wood work/working on the cars! Thanks for sharing your build/garage makeover

[@GoldenKeyDesign]

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

At today’s prices, you are now a rich man with that saved lumber :-)

I know! I’m glad I’ve kept all of it! It’s so hard to throw it away

[@sharonmilton4854]

Your house is coming together. The exterior house color goes well with your style!

[@GoldenKeyDesign]

I think so too!

[@HaitianHallow]

Turned out great! I love your choice of lights, same one's my brother and I went with.

[@GoldenKeyDesign]

Thank you! The lights are awesome!

[@lesg9604]

I have the same branded set, different components in the kit. They are really nice addition to the garage. I bought them pre Covid, and back then the price was a steal on a sale through Hone Depot. Recently I wanted to add another single piece to my garage and couldn’t believe that the price nearly doubled from what I paid two years ago.

[@GoldenKeyDesign]

Great minds think alike haha! They are awesome cabinets and I was surprised they looked so good! That's crazy it's nearly doubled in price

[@debbydhill]

This turned out fantastic!

[@GoldenKeyDesign]

Thank you! Really happy with the end result 😁

[@trooperjoe73]

Well done. I'm almost sold on the cabinets. Color choice on the house was very nice. Very sharp finish.

[@GoldenKeyDesign]

Thank you, appreciate it! I say buy the cabinets - they’ve been great 😁

Such a nice end result, that is some fine work mate.

[@GoldenKeyDesign]

Glad you enjoyed it - thanks!!

[@kyleallen7383]

i would recommend leveling out the area around/under the rack if you plan to do squats/deadlifts/olympic-lifts, a slight side-slope can cause issues when you move close to your max load

[@GoldenKeyDesign]

Good tip! Thanks!

When cutting threaded rod I always thread the nuts on passed where I’m cutting. Then you can take them off and you don’t need to clean up the burs.

[@GoldenKeyDesign]

[@timschregardus5613]

Bandsaw makes cutting threaded pipe/ bolts super easy

[@GoldenKeyDesign]

Yes they do! Still working my way to purchasing one🤞 thanks for watching!

[@progression_decibel]

Superb renovation! What sheen of paint (I tried to make out the cans, is it Benjamin Moore?) did you use on the walls? Do you still recommend that Graco Magnum X5 sprayer in terms of its ease of use and clean up? Did you spray the ceiling and the wall and if so, in what order and how to prevent overspray? Finally, if you had to do it all over again would you still paint the walls first before having the floor epoxied or do it the reverse order? I am greatly curious to know if the epoxying job makes a dusty mess all over the nice fresh walls. About to embark on a very similar journey in my garage, thanks!!

[@JP-kr6lm]

High quality linesman pliers or wire cutters will have a cutter for trimming long electrical screws. I use knipex 13 72 8 wire stripper, no need to bring out the grinder. Great transformation! Mind if I ask how much the professional floor coating cost? I would also like to do that

[@GoldenKeyDesign]

Good tip on the pliers! I always forget about that function. And thank you! The epoxy floor cost about $3k give or take. I think it’s well worth it and I would steer clear of the diy kits as they tend not to have the same durability

[@CountBeefy]

Leave the nut screwed in when you cut a stud. It cleans the threads when you back it out.

[@GoldenKeyDesign]

Great tip, thanks!

[@thorodinson7996]

Home Gym ftw

[@sinostarcarwashmachines]

awesome~!

[@GoldenKeyDesign]

Thank you!

[@matthewlesko7014]

Before i Cut a screw or bolt down i thread a nut on past the point of the cut, then after i cut i remove the nut and the nut natrually folds the burr down and then you dont need to worry about it.

[@GoldenKeyDesign]

Great tip! Thanks 😊

Wow, what a huge difference! Great Job! Which is the home gym in the corner? Thanks, Candy

[@GoldenKeyDesign]

Thanks for watching! The cable machine in the corner is by Body Solid. We bought it at a local gym equipment retailer. Works great!

[@TripleGAutoDetailing]

Amazing transformation! 👏 Epic squat rack! 💪🏼 What brand cable system did you go with??

[@GoldenKeyDesign]

Thank you! Cable system is by Body Solid. We got it from a local fitness wholesaler. Works great!

[@juanvalles8187]

Regarding the tall husky cabinet’s, did you get lucky and where able to screw them center to a stud? And did you use the prefixed holes or cut your own through the back of the cabinet?

[@GoldenKeyDesign]

I was lucky enough to hit 2 studs per cabinet and I just used the predrilled holes in the cabinet. So far, they have been holding up great. Hope that helps!

[@myomilky]

Awesome job! What type of cabinets did you order and is that a Craftsman tool storage unit? How do you like it?

[@GoldenKeyDesign]

Thank you! I ordered Husky cabinets - they are linked in the description. And yes, that's a Craftsman Tool Box. I really like and had it for years. Has held up really well!

[@mtnkrew]

Amazing turnout! What are the garage dimensions?

[@saaaaauce]

I just want to clean up the garage.......

[@LuciusC3]

Nice job - have you thought about painting the refrigerator black? Easy DIY -

[@GoldenKeyDesign]

Thank you! I didn’t think of that, but that’s a great idea!

[@vadimthe1724]

Careful. I broke my garage floor… even though I had gym flooring (thick rubber mats) and bumper plates. And my bumper plates were the really thick ones, I think that’s the rogue competition set which is thinner (less surface area means more damage it can do). It first started cracking then where I would always deadlift it dug a hole. I never noticed because it was covered by the mats. I didn’t notice until I walked over it and it felt dug out. In hindsight, I would use rubber mats and a layer of thick plywood (1 3/4) on top of the mat.

[@Livin_Easy]

Did the cabinets come already assembled like I see?? That's rare.. Did it come with the French cleat option already?

[@jchickman6009]

What was the name of those matte black cabinets?

[@elizabethgo1623]

What type or brand of the matt floor that you used for the gym?

[@justynhammerly4643]

Next time the circle on your wire strippers that have numbers where is that connection point is you can thread the screw into the air and then cut off was not needed some thing you don’t have to re-grind it to make sure it’s stays threaded true

[@GoldenKeyDesign]

Great tip, thank you!

[@pjbuma13]

What brand are those cabinets?

[@danjim7056]

Light screws...alot of wire strippers have a spot to thread the screws in and cut them as well.

[@PowersPoch]

You definitely need to find a way to hang all of the wood above everything and section it when you need it

[@spinecollector9931]

Not sure if someone has asked this yet, but how’s the “cleanliness” level on the gym side when you’re using the workshop side and you’re cutting wood & stuff. Does it get all over the gym side? I’m thinking of doing this and I do a lot of wood projects but just not sure if wood shavings would get all over the equipment

[@GoldenKeyDesign]

If you plan to cut wood inside the garage, you will probably need to hook dust collection. I mainly use the garage to store my tools and use the workbench on occasion. But I cut the majority of my wood in the driveway

[@spinecollector9931]

@@GoldenKeyDesign oh I see, thanks for the reply

[@I3day]

I was driving myself crazy because I couldn't find anyone who hung the cabinets how I imagined. So, I just received my husky cabinet set (same as yours, regular duty welded) and I really wanted to hang them off the floor because I have the same protruding stem wall. How are they holding up, do you store anything heavy in them? Did you hit two studs in each cabinet on top or only one? Did you also secure on the bottom or just resting on the cement? Hoping to install mine this week, thank you!

[@I3day]

?

[@GoldenKeyDesign]

They are holding up great! All the cabinets are full but I don't put anything extremely heaving in them. I made sure to hit 2 studs per cabinet. 1 stud would probably worry me a bit. There are no holes to screw them in at the bottom so they are just resting on the concrete, but it hasn't been an issue. Worst case scenario, you can add feet to front. hope that helps!

The Music i love it what are they called?😊

Amazing transformation. What was your total spend here for the inside of the garage?

[@GoldenKeyDesign]

Thanks! I would say roughly $5k

[@MsJPrecious]

Love the transformation, though I do prefer the old colour of the house, I think I'm just over seeing grey and black houses.... But don't mind me lol. Definitely love the driveway, do you think that will last longer than concrete? (Before any cracks start to show etc) 😊❤

[@GoldenKeyDesign]

Thanks for watching! I also wanted a bit more color in the house but my parents preferred the grey and white look. If it’s taken care of properly I think the driveway will last a long time but not sure if it would outlast concrete

What make is the black workshop cabinets you use?

What were the black cabinets? Are those the husky heavy duty or regular duty? Just curious as I just Installed heavy duty in my garage.

@@GoldenKeyDesign Is there anything specific? I bought a power rack for $6k from Force USA but all the parts are laid out in my garage for few months now because I can't figure out which mats to get. Lots of KZbinrs suggested horse mats, but that they would smell really bad and need to sit outside for weeks and weeks to get rid of it, but I didn't really think that made sense to me.
