Motorcycle Man Cave / Garage Bar Makeover ... a gift to my Dad

We recently surprised my dad with a full garage renovation! He’s a huge Harley Davidson fan and loves spending time by his motorcycles with friends, so we completely transformed the garage into an air conditioned man cave.
Here’s what it took to create this Harley Davidson themed garage:
We brought the Harley Davidson vibes by using their traditional color palette and alluding to their logo with a hand-painted symbol on the wall. The brand new garage floor coating (rogueengineer.com/diy-garage-...) also helped tie everything together with the same colors.
We built the dry bar ourselves. It’s very functional and we think it looks great! You can follow our plans to build your own here: rogueengineer.com/diy-dry-bar... The TV, neon signs, and full stock of spirits were the perfect finishing touches!
With year round heat and humidity, a Florida garage is not typically the best location for summer hang outs - so we completed the project with a multi zone mini split air conditioner from Cooper&Hunter. These units are affordable and easy to install, as they didn’t require any duct work. They’re also energy efficient and can be customized to fit pretty much any project. amzn.to/3k2RHAD

Way to go Jamie she was defiantly the mvp of this project

[@rogueengineer]

For sure! She usually is

[@quanghuypham3406]

This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection kzbin.infoUgkxkNYRBJuiJ6EwD-tQSAlxg0eFKsnR2cgz I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seems to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.

Jamie and you make a great team... nice thing to do for your dad.

[@boogie3377]

Excellent work! And a high five for Jamie's skills and work ethic!

[@Danman1972]

for painting the block. put the tape on the grey color to edge the orange. Run a bead of clear caulk at the edge of the tape where the colors meet and smooth it with putty knife. Then paint and pull the tape while the paint and caulk are wet. You get a perfect edge on a bumpy surface. Work great on walls with texture like they do around here. Makes nice clean lines

[@ArmandoPerezContractor]

Always a pleasure to see people so talented in this fascinated world of renovation. Thank you for the ideas .I keep in touch

[@akkiboy99]

How can you show all the beautiful work done and not show your dad's first reaction when He saw this!!! What a good son/daughter-in-law you folks are. Great work!

De-greasing. GreaSe.

[@bluexhxr6926]

Looks like a clubhouse

[@cm1133]

@1:42, there is actually a little known hack to obtaining wall paper like, crisp paint edges, with no bleeding of paint under the tape lines, when painting stripes. What you should have done is laid out both rows of painters tape. Then, you should have painted black paint below the bottom edge AND above the top edge of the lower painter’s tape. Then, you should have painted grey paint below the bottom edge AND above the top edge of the upper painters tape. In other words, let’s say your orange stripe was 8” high, where the orange stripe would end up being, you would first have 4” of black paint above the bottom row or painters tape and 4” of grey paint below the bottom edge of the top row of painter’s tape. By doing this step first, before you paint the orange stripe, you are essentially sealing the edges of the painters tape to prevent orange paint from bleeding under the edges of the painters tape. I hope this makes sense.

[@hoenircanute]

Hmm, ive been searching for that Rocksolid product here in Norway but cant find it. Not even any hits on it on Germanys Amazon page where i buy my amazon stuff. :( We all mostly use epoxy here.

[@ericwoodard8332]

Do you have any trouble using the attic step with the placement of the bar.

[@brentville9414]

Looks great! what did you use to hold the wood shelves to the galv plumbing pipes from underneath @ 13:32? Looks like the electrical tie ins... hard to tell.

[@ConcreteFloorSolutions]

No disrespect, you followed directions. Once again, the epoxy coating manufacturer did not recommend the proper preparation. If you apply a coating on top of a coating that is peeling, now you will have two coatings that peel. If you didn’t diamond grind the floor to clean, white, scratched concrete, it WILL FAIL. When it does, look us up for high quality epoxy that WON”T peel when installed properly. Give us an update on the floor in 6 months.
