Renovating my ugly garage for under $500

[@melstead7937]

At 10:59: Those trim pads are the best kept secret in the industry. They are totally awesome. One is crazy to do trim without them period.

[@ModernRemade]

Yeeees totally agree! They're so inexpensive but I hardly see anyone use them. I used to wonder if they were just a gimmick but I won't paint without them now 😄

[@CGT80]

Only if you have a very smooth surface, don't need a very clean cut in, and don't have the skill with a brush. A brush will give you more control with how much paint you put on and most people don't use enough. However, I started painting as a pro 25 years ago so it is second nature and I can cut in left or right handed with contrasting colors better than many tape jobs........many corners are not straight and I can compensate with a brush to make a line that appears straight on a textured surface. Use a pole on your roller and keep it wet, it should not have a noisy sound of the dry nap pulling away from the wall. You are right about brushing and rolling giving better coverage than the small airless. Nice job on the light cords. I have the same lights and plan to trim the wires after I finish the major rebuild I'm in the middle of for my garage.

[@dexterousx92]

*Wow, I'm truly amazed by your dedication and creativity in renovating your garage on a budget! Your resourcefulness and ability to transform the space into something functional and appealing is truly inspiring. It's so refreshing to see someone take on a project with limited resources and turn it into something incredible. Keep up the fantastic work, and I can't wait to see the final result! Your efforts are a reminder that with passion and a little ingenuity, any space can be transformed into a wonderful haven. 👏🛠*

Now there are a few golden nuggets in here - great tips - will definitely follow a few during my garage reno's

[@mrizzy9429]

Danny, you are THE man!!! It really is easy, if you have patience and a little know how. I stumbled on your channel and showed my 12 year old son (we both agreed the editing and music are great). We are starting the garage reno next week and got some great ideas From your video. God bless and keep makin videos please. Much like TV, KZbin is quickly getting littered with trash.

[@ModernRemade]

Thanks a ton! So glad you both liked the video! Good luck with the garage - I'm sure it'll be awesome 💪

[@diywife]

Hahaha that project creep is a real thing, and probably how most projects get started... "if I'm doing this, I might as well go ahead and do this..." lol! I'm a little embarrassed to say your "dirty" garage looks clean compared to our mess, but this is super inspiring! Great video quality/editing too!

[@ModernRemade]

Thank you! 🤗 It really is a good/bad situation. Good because it forces me to learn but at the same time I often bite off more than I can chew 😅 Honestly, the “before” was after about 12+ hours of cleaning. It was baaaad before-before haha.

[@craigcarlock5799]

Personally, I think that it says a lot about you that you captured and released the spiders rather than killing them. Found some useful ideas for my own messy garage. Great video, I'll be checking out more of your content. Thanks!

[@ModernRemade]

I appreciate that Craig and glad you liked the video!

[@chaseeriksen4107]

Should add some edge banding /trim to the front edge of the work surface. If it's all chewed up, you can cut a clean edge on it with your skill saw and just use a bunch of wood glue or construction adhesive. Would really polish the look.

[@ModernRemade]

Great callout! I agree, the top is a total eyesore. I never thought about cleaning the edge up with a saw 👏

[@flix4u]

Nice clean & bright look. Can’t wait to see u fill it up with tools and supplies/materials. I can’t wait till I can get a shop and get my tools out of storage and do pretty much what u did.

[@ModernRemade]

Thanks man! I am so excited to build it out more as well. I'm thinking French cleats, workbenches, dust collection, storage cabinets.. who knows what else. Good luck on your future builds! If you make a video let me know!

[@Snuffvieh]

definitely one of those videos where you start at „ugh 15 minutes?! I’ll just skip trough it“ and end at „HOW THE HELL DID I JUST WATCH THE ENTIRE THING?“ haha! great job on the reno and the vid 👌🏻

[@ModernRemade]

Haha thanks so much! I was really surprised how much I had to speed up and cut out and still be 15 minutes 😩. I also found out getting the whole thing cut down under 1 minute for instagram was impossible 😂

[@RobWhittlestone]

[@JustinRiley1987]

great job dude! i am currently removing my popcorn ceiling and doing a skim coat on it... so much work! not to mention drywall dust everywhere!

[@ModernRemade]

Thank you! AND a skim coat?! You're much braver than I my friend 😂 I bet it'll look killer!

[@KiloBravo69]

Next project, Paint the floor with garage floor epoxy paint. You wont believe the difference, it really gives the garage a clean finished look! best of luck.

[@ModernRemade]

Thank you! Definitely keeping that in mind 👍

[@mseiler4979]

I really enjoyed watching, can't wait for part 2. Those painting pads are fantastic, I have several rooms with feature colour on one wall and those pads are fantastic for neat corners and no messy bleeding edges. Brilliant video, keep up the great work. Consider me Subscriber 384... :)

[@ModernRemade]

The kind words and sub are much appreciated! 😊 That's a great use case - those pads are a game-changer!

[@Dnemet4]

I watched this video while on a random KZbin binge and I would not have thought in a million years that this was someone first video on a KZbin channel. So freakin good!

[@ModernRemade]

Thanks so much man that means a lot! I felt like a put a ton of time into learning so I’m glad you think it shows 😃

[@RebelAlliance42]

Yeah, I was surprised to see it was the only one for that reason too

[@handymanhoney-do6881]

Painting tip--unless rolling in a very tight space, always extend the handle on the roller. A simple 3’ wood handle will double your speed and give you a smoother finish. Painting a full wall using only the roller is choppy, slow and eventually beats up your hands & wrist. A+ on the remodel. You really invested time in places where it matters.

[@HondaFit4Adventure]

The Barinna lights are awesome. I just wish they made a corner connection piece.

[@ModernRemade]

I'm with ya there!

[@chadtitan4159]

Thank you for the early reveal. Because of that I definitely will watch the rest of the video.

[@ModernRemade]

No problem! I’m not a big fan of the common KZbin “hooks” either 😄. I appreciate it!

[@bringbackwindowsphone]

[@TypeSC2]

Immediately purchased those lights from your link! Just installed half of them today and it blew me away! Thanks for that man! Somehow I never saw these and they have stellar reviews!

[@ModernRemade]

I appreciate you using my link! Aren’t they amazing?! Haha, I couldn’t believe the difference they made. Really happy to hear they helped you out 👍🏻

[@ColinIrwin114]

Maybe a mini fridge would be a good addition to the empty spot in the middle of the work bench. Also, what soldering iron is that? Looks like it distributed solder out of the end making it very easy to do.

[@ModernRemade]

Good suggestion! I may have to do that. It’s a super cheap standard solder I’ve had for years. I just pre-soldered the cables to make it a little easier on me because I’m terrible 😅

[@ApprenticeGM]

That's a good garage cleanup - thanks for posting. A couple of corrections and tips to help yourself and others: 1) That "beam" @12:20 is a post. Posts go vertically, beams go horizontally. 2) That's not how you roll paint @11:45 lol! Use an extension handle on the roller, do NOT use the roller handle like you did. Your way is way harder on the back and legs squatting like that, puts your face close for paint droplets flicking off the roller, and most importantly, ensures uneven coverage of the paint on the wall. When you use an extension handle (eg 5') you stand back from the wall and use leverage to radically reduce the movement in your arms making for much easier rolling for much longer for much less effort. It also smooths out the paint with much more even pressure on the roller and gets you well away from the roller itself for less paint spatter AND you can gauge coverage more accurately. 3) When you roll, use a "W" or an "M" technique which also evens coverage and reduces banding. 4) FWIW, I would go draws under the bench with foam cutouts for tools. 5) A very cheap way to improve your concrete garage floor would be epoxy paint with flakes in it. Looks great, is very hard-wearing, and relatively easy to DIY. 6) For the LED lighting, I would make a small ceiling hole above the fitting and feed the joining cable between lights through that. Much neater and no cutting / re-joining with solder.

[@ModernRemade]

1. Good call out thanks for clarifying. 2/3. Agreed! My intention wasn't to provide a painting "tutorial" so I left out a few details. When I say "long, overlapping lines" - I do not lift the roller, result in long M's and W's. I prefer this to the common 'random' style because, for me at least; it lessens the chance directional variation in the finish. As far as extensions go - I couldn't use one in this particular spot because there is another wall directly behind me. I would have ended up with more holes to patch 😂 4. I'm diggin' this idea. That may be a winner 🤙 5. I've considered this a few times! Call me old fashioned but I actually prefer the raw concrete look, cracks and all 😀 6. That's another good one. I did later clean the cords up with cable clips and it doesn't look half bad!

[@dominicscalise]

Dude. Danny! Man, it has been a minute. I saw you post on FB and checked out your KZbin. This video is so good! You're a natural. Can't wait to see more. I hope all is well!

[@ModernRemade]

Ay man! I appreciate it! Didn’t know you had a channel either - really good stuff!

[@KODmasta07]

Love the details in the video and the fact that you mess up shows you're just like anyone else. Not perfect! I just got a garage and this vid makes me feel more confident about doing it myself. Thanks!

[@ModernRemade]

Love to hear that - you got this! Mistakes are always made that’s for sure 😅 Thanks for watching!

[@ConradFarley]

Hell yeah. As for under the work bench... mini fridge, LEDs to see better, a stereo. Or like you said, drawers. Maybe leave room for a vice. Looks a lot better tho. Good job.

[@ModernRemade]

Thanks man! Mini fridge... now that’s a great idea 😁

[@coryloveland4667]

You could put some sort of protective sheeting under the cabinet and store your shop vac under there. Those are handy to keep close.

[@ModernRemade]

Not a bad plan my friend, thanks for the suggestion! I am certainly tired of tripping over the hoses 😄

[@docroc3012]

This video was amazing! Not only did it look good, but it gave me a little bit of hope that I can learn how to do some of these things myself as well.

[@ModernRemade]

[@compiticny1445]

Nice job. Looking for ideas for finishing my garage which is bare studs for the outer walls and got a number of them. The only thing I could suggest is the next time you paint the ceiling get the whitest high gloss paint you can find to increase the light in the garage.

[@cathycoryell2351]

Well, the new, more extended lighting fixtures make a huge difference!! Jumps right out, in opening pictures! 1) dust, patch and paint walls, ceiling. Corner protection. 1a) Killz products for primer. 1b) Repair windows, window trim. Door trim. Paint trim. 2) vacuum, sweep, leaf blower. 3) install new lighting. 4) remove item, sort, declutter and keep only what you truly need, use. 5) repair work bench and wood shelves. Set to height for storage bins. Paint. 6) pipe column.... paint it, or wrap for decoration. 7) upgrade door knob, lever style hardware. The end.

[@dougsholes3072]

I like the “face frames” for your work bench.

[@ModernRemade]

Thanks Doug! My original plan was to paint the whole thing, but when it dawned on me how quickly it’ll get beat up I changed my mind. I think I prefer this way anyway!

[@nicksims2827]

Nice video! There are tons of these channels on KZbin, but not many that say “I did this, but I messed up” That’s very inspiring to a (very) amateur DIYer!

I love how you’re funny, too!! There’s a really cool guy (I think his logo was Carma) that turned his garage into “showroom white!” He did the floors AND insulated the garage door and insulated the walls, added drywall and even put up an amazing air conditioning DIY kit. Pretty cool! Love the blue shelving btw!

[@ModernRemade]

Thanks Jay! That's super cool! Some of the garages I've seen on YT are mind-blowing. You may be interested in @ABrazHouse. He built a whole studio and a freakin-attic lift; puts mine to shame! 😆

[@jaybroreviews]

@@ModernRemade whoa really?? Checking it out now, thanks for the suggestion!! Btw the guy I was telling you about installed a split DIY mr. cool kit a/c unit that can be controlled with your phone!!

[@K03sport]

What thickness of drywall was in place? Did you use/have any green paper board for mildew resistance? I'm currently in year 4 of my garage retrofit; remove '70s wood paneling, put up pink rolls in the stud bays, but haven't moved on to drywall yet. Also in the process of putting pink batts above the garage to control temperature extreme during summer/winter.

[@ModernRemade]

That sounds like a great plan! I’m pretty sure the previous owners finished the garage themselves and from what I can tell. I doubt much effort went into either mildew resistance or insulation. Good on you for doing it right!

[@e-vd]

You mentioned that you removed the drywall tape on the ceiling. May I ask why? Tape is usually placed onto the joints when the drywall is installed, and I don't understand why one would remove it. Also, did you float the ceilings with fresh mud after removing the popcorn?

[@ModernRemade]

That's a great callout - I didn't even realize I left out that explanation! ha. Over time, the tape had began to crack and peel away from the ceiling/wall in a few spots. For the ceiling, from what I can recall, there were only a few spots that required some touch-up with mud, but for the remaining 95% I got by just sanding. Thanks for watching!

I don't have a garage but I do have work to do around the house. It is often hard to find motivation to do repairs and improvements, but watching this video helped

[@ModernRemade]

I love that thanks for sharing! I can say what I’ve found to helps me personally is the practice of “chunking” where I break a task into smaller parts so it doesn’t feel so overwhelming. So instead of thinking “I have this entire project/video to do this weekend”, instead I will just say “I’ll work on this for 30 minutes whether I want to or not”. Once I’m in it, I tend to get in the flow and work much longer. Anyway I hope that helps and thanks for watching!

I think some cabinet ambiance light, epoxy floor and wall or hide-o garage utility hoses (air,water,vac,power washer?), Some creative power tool storage and charging station for lights and power ools. Ryobi make a dope garage door opener that's modular taking the power tool battery and having accessories like air, fan, Bluetooth, WiFi, just out of my budget. I need a poor man's version of that. I have a 2 car garage with little to no room to work with and two giant garage queens

I've been using those same Ryobi cordless finish nailers for a few years now. Absolutely love 'em! I really like that color you chose for your workbench as well.

[@ModernRemade]

Thanks Carl! Aren't these nailers great!? One of those "why didn't I buy this sooner" tools :)

[@southernflare2385]

Thank you!

Nice renovated garage. Under the workbench you can mounted tool cabinets with drawers.

[@ModernRemade]

Appreciate it!

I'm way too damn lazy to manually sand. I just get a shitload of orbital sanding pads and switch them out. I of course attach the output into a Dust Deputy going into my vacuum with a vacuum bag. Works great and the Dust Deputy saves you a fortune on bags and filters.

Instead of wooden runners to protect the shelves, when we built shelves in my buddy's garage, we used a DIY bedliner kit to cover the shelves. It's a decent finish, it is super easy to clean, and wears extremely well.

[@ModernRemade]

That's super cool! I wouldn't have ever thought of that. I'll definitely be looking into that for future projects. Thanks for the tips!
