Office & Bathroom Reveal - Safe, Clean and Attractive | Firehouse Renovation

[@nickxedge]

My favorite part is "Now, I know a lot of you are gunna say, 'you shouldn't use laminate in a bathroom'." And then nothing further. So freakin good. This place is starting to look awesome!

[@donaldpowell7762]

Buhahaha. I rewound the video because I thought I got distracted and missed the explanation. GOLD!

[@craftedworkshop]

The best! We always try to justify our decisions to the negative commenters so it was hilarious for Marc to just leave them hanging.

[@AndreaArzensek]

I absolutely LOLed on this one! Just perfect 😂

[@jeremyspecce]

I love that, that’s A+ comedy 🤣

[@HonoredMule]

Yeah, that was swell, and will make a great followup video when it does. :P

[@frankherring6253]

Caption for your thumbnail; “here I sit all broken hearted”. Love the flag and pole; God bless you and the USA!

[@annamariestarr]

I really love to see how serious you're taking the possible chemical/toxic dangers. Often times it's briefly mentioned but not taken serious or most common thing creators falls into is the good ol' "do as I say, not as I do" act. Thanks for taking these matters seriously, since most (including me) tend to slack more than we should in that area.

[@woodwhisperer]

It may not be perfect, but the back end of the shop is now safe for habitation. By the way, I know some of you are going to want the Harry Pooping painting so here's a link: amzn.to/3R6LB2K

[@KeyvanJuanez]

Too many youtubers lean HARD into the L in caulk so I'm happy to see you not taking the cowards way out.

[@jimhyslop]

Yep, the L is silent.

[@Sewcialitecrew]

My favorite part was the flag! I really enjoy your channel! Keep them coming

[@montanaboom1]

Looking great so far. Looking forward to the first "project" there. And the ending of the video was Perfect! God Bless America!!

[@steveslenderman8953]

Looks amazing , who ever said you can’t put lipstick on a pig is a big o liar! Great video showing that sometimes you do what you need to do so you can get in with the more important stuff. Not every project needs to be a complete tear down rebuild. This new shop gives you sooo much room for activities and the kids are going to love the space as well.

[@brucelee3388]

The problems start when the pig enjoys it.......

[@garybadger325]

Love the ending!

[@markhoss8975]

I knew it would happen, and it did. Now I want my own firehouse.

[@scottcampbell96]

8:30 love the Money Pit reference. Just watched it last week.

[@retiredwithwood6586]

The place is looking great. I can only imagine how excited you are to finally be working in the shop rather then on the shop.

[@Shaka_Vibe]

Looks great, and God Bless America!

[@woodwhisperer]

Thanks Joseph!

[@rzerobzero]

I came here for the caulk and Marc delivered. Nice caulk Marc!

[@dagorithe]

My wife and I just replaced our furnace and a/c unit. We had Bryant … and we did again. Ours is pretty quiet, more than the old one.

[@philshock3805]

Best. KZbin. Ending. Ever.

[@markfrye9178]

The puns, hidden jokes and overall content, this is one of your best shows yet!

[@jerrygillette854]

Marc, you saved the best part of the video for last. God bless America.

[@jimwiskus8862]

Cadillac job Marc! Isn’t it odd that the wall mastic contained asbestos. We just abated our asbestos floor in the basement and installed new ceramic tile. Our floor guy was suited up, curtained up door ways & vents. He used a 2 gallon sprayer to keep the dust down. All good now. See you on the next installment.

[@bobbrouillard6979]

As a retiree who was given a retirement flag that flew at a FOB, thank you and God Bless America!

[@cguron]

In case hot water is needed at your utility sink, you may add a conventional under sink water heater, 1 - 2.5 gallon water heater that runs on 110V. This is the solution we chose for our accounting office bathroom in MN.

[@veganpotterthevegan]

I'd rather throw a small tankless under there.

[@biscuittreewoodworks]

Enjoyed the shop update Marc! Things are starting to look really good! As a veteran myself, I thought that was a perfect ending!

[@lrr1952]

Very cool project! Looking forward to seeing the transformation into a wood shop! Also love the flag and flagpole. Nice!

[@ailivac]

The "CB radio" coax and folded dipoles near the top of that tower were likely for a radio to talk to 911 dispatchers or trucks on the road. Could probably be retuned for ham radio use depending on what frequency band it is.

[@gbjones54]

Thanks for the laughs Marc. Makes recovering from surgery more fun!

[@littlehousewoodworking5292]

What a transformation so far. You, Jason, and Nicole are all really putting some love back into that old building. Coming along great. Absolutely love you are taking advantage of the flag pole!

[@gmorri10]

Feels like I should toss in a "you shouldn't use laminate in a bathroom." Great stuff!

[@littlehousewoodworking5292]

Ever renovate an old home with carpet in the bathroom? Who the hell ever came up with that brilliant idea? ... ewwww!!!

[@1kenneri]

That bathroom painting is awesome, I immediately ordered one for my shop.

[@5UBV3T]

I really appreciate that you ran the low voltage lighting for the flag pole. So many people are not familiar with the rules and regulations regarding our flag. I appreciate that you have it lighted as it's supposed to be if it's going to be flown 24/7. Thanks Marc!

[@Zengineer]

Glad you had the vermiculite tested, and you are spot on with assuming that some of it is asbestos containing if it came out of the Montana mine.

[@RXRSawdustStation]

I saw a sign in a bathroom once and it has always stayed with me. "We aim to please. You aim, too, please!" 😉 Nice work all around! Thank you for your work on our flag, too....nice! Thank you all around!

[@jeffnelson1661]

My Brother -n-law found a sign at an old saw mill..."Prepare to Unload." It's hanging above the toilet.

[@jamesmoreno4155]

Atta boy Marc I’m proud to liberally use my Caulk as well

[@davidstuart4489]

I'm loving watching this unfold.

[@KITDFOHS]

Mark be PROUD of your caulk. You clearly aren't ashamed of your caulk. Have that "big caulk" energy. Ain't no shame in putting your caulk on.....ok maybe I've gone to far.... Caulk and paint makes up for the trim carpenter I ain't.

[@schlenbea]

Can't wait to see what you do with the place! I just keep chuckling at the lengths you go to for safety and health. I 100% agree- but you put all that junk food right in yo mouf and those processed oils are just as bad! Stay safe my guy! 💪

[@TheCHRISCaPWN]

Wow, the hot glue idea is so smart! I'm definitely going to keep that in the pocket for future use!

[@woodwhisperer]

Glad it was helpful!

[@difalkner]

Great progress, good video, and excellent to fly the Flag at the end - perfect!

[@ingridw3900]

Great strategy on managing asbestos and potential asbestos. You might want to keep a journal.

[@rem7751]

Enjoyable episode! It's really great seeing the shop come together. As an added bonus the flag at the end really hit me in the feels.

[@EK--ry3lr]

Ducted HVAC doesn't have to be "way less efficient" just need a higher SEER variable speed unit. Love the video SMS the practicality of the work. 🇺🇸

[@YoungbloodFamilyFarm]

Marc, the workspace is coming along Great! I really like how you have left space for the kids. Looking forward to the machine layout and dust collection!

[@seanrodgers7327]

I’m really looking forward to more videos about the new shop. My wife and I lived in an old fire house for a bit. Had to leave because she wouldn’t stay off the pole. Ayyyooooo

[@n8wrl]

Ooooooh LOVE the tower! That "heavy coax" likely goes to the vertical antenna at the top of your tower, probably business band

[@woodwhisperer]

Interesting!

[@csimet]

5:15... that is the exact beadboard I used for my basement laundry room and hallway. Excellent for such use! Just ever so dusty/messy to cut, like any pressboard material. I hope you added fans to the shop with those ceiling heights... help distribute the air and even the temps.

[@paulpaul1948]

You can talk with your HVAC guy about this but since the existing ducts were for heating only, they may not be insulated. Running cold air through them in the summer, you might get some condensation forming on the outside of them. Worth a check because I'm sure you won't want water drops falling all over your tools, equipment and work.

[@dennispope8160]

Agree with this! Of course if it maintains temp you won’t have an issue but if there’s any swings it’ll be bad.

[@davidtomlin8481]

Keep up the good work, enjoying the remodel vids. Any one who is a woodworker and not subscribed to your channel is a Moron. Excellent content!!

[@woodwhisperer]

haha I like you, David!

[@carboranadum]

Looks like quite the renovation project. Thanks for taking us along on this journey...can't wait to see what's next!

[@beatdowngaming8423]

New shop is looking awesome! You definitely deserve it!

[@onsapplikasies8620]

Starting to come together. Looking good.

[@jcapogna]

You could have Cremona'd that roof job into a 10 part series.

[@joefaraone977]

Marc, my favorite part of the video was the flag-raising. My wife and I are Navy vets, so that's an easy way to get to the heart strings... And the firehouse? Love whay you've done with the place!

[@plainnpretty]

Shop is Coming along good . lucky you having a battlefield flag

[@realpdm]

I love doing projects like this. It is so rewarding to do effort and get immediate satisfaction and use of the new fresh spaces. Thanks for sharing your journey with the firehouse.

[@jimmyrk3]

Thank you for ending the video so well.

[@dgoddard]

Awesome video! Awesome ending!

[@LewHarriman]

Another advantage of the furnaces is that you can probably install decent filtration on that return (unlike the minisplits, which have very low fan power in order to optimize energy rather than optimizing small particle filtration effectiveness). Given your short runs of duct work and their relatively large internal cross section, I'd bet that using 2" MERV-13 filters on the return would be no problem for your furnace's supply air fans. MERV-13 filters are not expensive, and (as long as the filter frame is air tight) they'll remove 80 to 85% of the small particles of greatest concern for respiratory health (PM 2.5 - the total mass of the particles that have a diameter of 2.5 micrometers and smaller.) I'm referring to 80 to 85% of the particles *every time* that air goes through the filters. Pretty great removal. MERV-13 is the EPA recommendation for homes, and is also an excellent good choice for a woodworking shop. If you're curious about your current indoor air, consumer-grade PM 2.5 particle monitors are not expensive, they display the current indoor air PM 2.5 concentration. They're certainly "accurate enough" for any purpose other than research. For reference, here in the US, the national standard for outdoor air is an annual average for PM 2.5 lower than a max of 12.0 (micrograms per cubic meter). Outdoors it will go far 12 that at some times and far below at other times, but over a year, the location meets national standards for adequate outdoor air quality if PM 2.5 averages out at less than 12. In a typical active workshop-even with dust collection-the PM 2.5 is almost always FAR above that national standard for outdoor air. So adding MERV-13 to the furnace return is a very helpful measure for workers' (and familys') respiratory health.

[@TimmyTarget]

Therapists office in a prison is pretty spot on tbh. Well done.

[@rjgaynor8]

The amount of asbestos in that building is reminding me of the condemned house we bought to tear down. My wife and I nearly cried when the removal company said it would cost 30k. When we found out the removal included the entire house plus 6 inches of dirt off the surface of the property we were relieved. But as a note the demo cost would have been 15k if there was no asbestos.

[@WoodenLegWoodworking]

06:23 was not prepared for this. Very well done. 😜

[@anoniem674]

So fresh and so clean clean.... when i saw the thumbnail

[@anthonydtobias]

Great caulking tips!

[@bobleeswoodshop7919]

Mark the new shop looks great! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and adventures! Regards Bob Lee

[@mauriceryton]

Was that a Sonos move in the mix? Love my Sonos sound equipment. Lol, l just did our bathroom in laminate up at the river. It looks awesome, the wife loves it. Bonus on the mystery circuit. Starting to get there, looking great. Full marks for flying your Countries flag too. I fly the Canadian flag here at the river, l have to find a spot for one at our new home. Always be proud of your Country.

[@mikealbrecht3990]

That would make a nice short wave antenna.

[@jenniferstaley3851]

Places is looking great.

[@markglabinski3016]

What a great video once again. I’m glad you are sharing this transformation with us all. I laughed extra hard to make up for Jason. Keep up the great work!

[@zadams5596]

Tip for the wax ring selection for the toilet if you are not sure what thickness you need for your floor- just buy the basic one with the rubber sleeve, and one or two of the cheapies that don't have the rubber sleeve. you can just stack them up if extra thickness is needed and the wax will squish together

[@SteveHiemstraAKAspeg]

Mmm, like a sandwich 🥪

[@johnnation713]

Awesome Marc!! The new shop space is looking better and better all the time😊👍

[@thomasst.germain4227]

Thank you for continuing to put out content! I hope it is going well!

[@richhubert1260]

Hi Marc and Nicole, kids... I was wondering what you had planned for the big bay doors? I know in our last shop you left them but just didn't use them. Love what your doing with your new place!

[@steveferguson1232]

Love how it’s coming together, and after so many years in home garages, I know your going to love your very first shop. As much as I would love to join the guild, me being disabled prevents any extra expenses. But I would save and drive up from Alabama for one of your courses and would love to meet you as wee, if you could put up with an old cabinet and furniture maker

[@flguy7331]

You should checkout Senville mini-splits. You have to get an HVAC installer to charge them for the warranty to be good but you can do everything else. They also have ducted and ceiling mount units.

[@Wordsnwood]

poop jokes wrapped up with old glory. You sir, are gifted. 😁🇨🇦

[@bobbg9041]

Id cap off. All the open boxes outlets and switches, cover the walls build a new 2x4 studied wall and run all new electrical and spray foam the wall cavities, then cover with sheetrick or plywood as needed. This way you cant get into the orignal materials.

[@garybales2449]

The story with that flag was definitely the way to end the video! Glad to see the shop is starting to progress 🇺🇲🦅🇺🇲🦅

[@paulabross8808]

I love the improvements!! This building was in need of some lovin!!!

[@Brough_builds]

I find when using gun adhesive you get a better hold if you put it on in circles as it seems to work like suction cups 👍

[@arcibarci2770]

good to have a friend like yours :)

[@mikegilyeat3213]

Good decision on the furnace/ac situation. Flag is awesome.

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic job there, Marc! 😃 The place is looking great! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@garyknable1155]

I commend you on the flag raising as a veteran that means a lot and great job on the reno WOW

[@alrives]

Loved your ending!🇺🇸

[@MadStacks007]

You don't know how on point you were about the prison psych office. I worked in a prison for 12 yrs, and they do look like that, except the walls are green.

[@VeretenoVids]

I burst out laughing when you said “we aren’t leveling the floors because this isn’t a house”! I live in a 112 year old house; nothing is level or plumb! We just do a lot of scribing.

[@edwardsimmons3721]

Good thing you have hot water in there, come a cold winter ya might want to get that added.

[@doubledarefan]

When painting the walls, you should have also painted the asbestos blobs, to make sure it is contained.

[@dagorithe]

I watch, subscribed, and click the thumbs up button. Just sayin’.

[@bagpiper03]

10:16 I would have also accepted, "Hey Delta, is this any way to run an airline?"

[@bobwebberkc]

As always love your stuff ! Been with you almost from the beginning and was happy to see you move to MO.

[@woodwhisperer]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@purroductscentral]

6:51 I'm glad I'm not the only one who does that with hot glue.. Several years ago I figured out on my own that if I wanted something to hold right away without clamps, get the majority of the surface covered in wood glue and then hit the ends (and maybe a small gap in the middle) with some hot glue. Great for smaller cat tree projects or what's seen in THIS video, but I wouldn't use that method on most serious woodworking projects (knowing WHEN definitely comes with practice). lol

[@regibson23]

Instead of turning off the AC during recording just get Krisp for noise reduction. In my office it completely filters out both a box fan and squeaking from my office chair. Craziness.

[@exportedafrican]

No way you couldnt watch the end of that video without smashing the “like” button!

[@jeremiah3543]

The fire house has a propane Lennox pulse furnace. Wow, didn’t know they were still around!?

[@thomasclemens1386]

Looks great. You’ll have a lot of room with high ceilings and a way to get lumber into your shop without having to haul it into the basement! I’m jealous! I know your a fabulous woodworker…. Do you also play golf?

[@Diamond_Hammer]

Quality content and dad jokes as always, the space is coming together, nice caulk work too.. :)

[@scottmorris4914]

On sound proofing….. A lot of noise will come from the air return, so you are right that a simple boxing it in will not cure the problem. Actually the air return is an open path straight to/from the noisy motor.

[@isaaczeitoun7767]

Awesome video, really appreciate that you're bringing us along your journey!

[@Lucasartwork]

Really enjoying this firehouse shop renovation series. I’m looking forward to your workshop set up now. Great video!

[@CornerCreekWoodworking]

The Money Pit was one of the funniest movies of all time.

[@woodworksbygrampies1284]

..."two weeks!" hahaha 😂

[@jeffreytoole2719]

Nice ending!
