___________________________________________________________________
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!

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

[@GoldenKeyDesign]

Glad you enjoyed it - thanks!!

[@JL-hn6hi]

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

[@GoldenKeyDesign]

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

[@dyphoenixphotography]

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.

[@lunchonaskyscaper]

@@joebernstein5506 I believe thats the proper way!

[@Mahvel2baby]

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!

[@YorkBallersInc]

Love the Rogue stuff. Wheels on your weight tree never seem that. Innovative

[@GoldenKeyDesign]

Thanks! Rogue rack is great and having the tree on wheels make it so much easier when moving things around

[@sharonmilton4854]

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

[@GoldenKeyDesign]

I think so too!

[@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 😁

[@priscillatamir8258]

Labor of love. Professional quality I’m so happy for you. Thank you for sharing.

[@GitauSimon]

Damn this is like the manliest thing ever 💪🏾💪🏾

[@benmason6723]

For the lights. Most of those bolts are a 8/32 bolt. Most strippers have screw holes for them. Screw them in and cut to length

[@nathanhogue8470]

Looks good. It feels better when you do it yourself.

[@colinfernandez3D]

Great video composition, appreciated the clear explanation of your efforts, and approved all the aesthetic and material choices you made.

[@Levi.Jaeckel]

Nicely done man! As a garage gym-er and DIYer myself, this is an excellent blend of space.

[@GoldenKeyDesign]

Thank you! I love having both my hobbies in one space. Just need an extra bay for a car haha!

[@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!

[@subliminalbmx]

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]

Great tip!

[@CountBeefy]

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

[@GoldenKeyDesign]

Great tip, thanks!

[@debbydhill]

This turned out fantastic!

[@GoldenKeyDesign]

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

[@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!

[@danjim7056]

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

[@GoldenKeyDesign]

Thanks for the tip!

[@billybike57]

Nice job!

[@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.

[@KevinRiley-gg9qg]

Put the nut on the bolt wind down past where your going to cut then you wind off cleaning thread

[@GoldenKeyDesign]

Great tip!

[@GitauSimon]

More LED strips will definitely make the garage look like a showroom

[@joebranston6330]

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

[@GoldenKeyDesign]

Thanks! I would say roughly $5k

[@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

[@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!

[@dexterousx92]

*I really like the flooring. Your garage setup is awesome. I hope its been working our great for your needs! I'm about to start working on mine soon . I have been looking for design inspiration!*

[@GoldenKeyDesign]

Thank you so much! Good luck with your project!

[@PowersPoch]

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

[@FernDLC]

I have a similar setup but when I do woodworking my gym gets full of dust even if I use vacuums on my devices, any suggestions?

[@pvmsupra9607]

Great presentation! Mind sharing the dimensions of your garage? I’m going to attempt to mimic something similar to what you have. Thank you!

[@GoldenKeyDesign]

Thank you! The garage is 20x20

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

[@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!

[@sinostarcarwashmachines]

awesome~!

[@GoldenKeyDesign]

Thank you!

[@perezm714]

Nice work! Did you replace the fridge or paint it black? I'd definitely hang the TV on the wall and replace the plastic shelf with a black metal one. Lastly, consider a shed for the wood materials.

[@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!!

[@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!

@@GoldenKeyDesign textured matte black finish, and the tall cabinets have 2 shelfs and 1 pullout drawer.

What is the size of your garage?

[@reygonzalez9309]

@Golden Key Design Friendly advise, be reluctant in the future to display your address number. I'm sure there are internet surfers that don't need it to find your exact coordinates, but don't make it easy for all the other knuckleheads out there. Nice gym by the way!!!

[@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!

[@ShinuriGaming]

What type of flooring is that for the gym area?

[@GoldenKeyDesign]

Just some rubber mats

[@ShinuriGaming]

@@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.

[@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

Does no one park their vehicles in the garage anymore!?

We have a very large driveway. But 2 cars can still fit in the garage as the worktables can be moved to the side and the squat rack folds against the wall
