Starting to Look Like a Proper Garage! | Middleton Garage Build

[@Meloz-17]

The solutions on the fly always get me... I thought I was forward thinking... but watching you guys solve future potential problems has my mind going reverse...

[@shanehuffman6537]

Matt….. in the cycling community the first thing that has to be trashed on a new bike is the “dork disk”/spoke protector. It’s the equivalent of you de-badging everything or de-nibbling your tires. I am shocked your bike shop even installed it. If it were on an entry level bike, I would let it slide. However on your S-Works Crux, not a chance 😬. Sure it’s likely a requirement to do so, but most “forget” to install it. Regardless, that thing has go to go! The glare off it in the video was blinding while Mike was installing the Proslat in the corner of the garage. Thanks for the great content. Keep living the dream!

[@ObsessedGarage]

Yep, I just haven't gotten to it yet. They installed the reflectors too.

[@Bruces-Garage]

Matt, I feel 'ya. Organizing all of the tools in new cabinets is so blissful and engaging an organizers brain. It's pleasureful.

[@RAZGR1Z]

It's really coming together!

[@avidworkslol]

I didn't have a choice but to mount my TV above the mantel. I got a Mantel Mount, which has a hydraulic arm that pulls down to eye level. Highly recommend for anyone who has to do the same.

[@timkinley1779]

Unfortunately, some home designs don't give you an option of not mounting above a fireplace.

[@RAZGR1Z]

Matt actually did something like that in the last house too.

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

Pretty nuts how big this garage looks, even with the wall addition!

[@gabriell4031]

No one but a professional can use all of these tools guys even then not everyone is touched. But you gotta love looking at a drawer full of wrenches❤

[@wahibshaif3989]

Almost ready😂. I live thru you guys in my 2 bedroom apartment 😂😂😂

[@ChristianGTCS]

I love watching your videos. Love learning how to install and create a dream garage. Keep up the great work

[@raystormont]

You are unmatched at over the top personal garage builds, Just amazing. If I had your skills and design team I would get a Tro-Tec 300W laser and start making custom tool drawer inserts that fit perfectly each manufacturer's drawers to the exact inside dimensions of the cabinets you provide and allow once each brand of tools has a master layout for you to sit at a computer and lay out each drawer then show client final design and easily make changes befor laser cut out insert from foam, pvc, delron, wood, or whatever you wanted and provide custom graphics for each tool drawer insert. This could add a new custom design insert product line to your services arsenal. Many of us already have extensive tool inventories and could benefit greatly from your organizational skills in our existing tool boxes. Again unmatched garage makeover, even before project is finished, Congratulations.

[@G.Dean100]

Assuming you’re talking to Mike?

[@bbqjones]

We had over 1000 kids come by our house for Halloween. It's absolutely nuts in this neighborhood. No way we got full size bars, lol. Lot's of fun

[@gflores7018]

Looking great , awesome

[@josephkeller6154]

Looks great! Keep up the awesome work!

[@dave3952]

Great idea Mike to split the tv mount

[@acadian33]

"Fight off the ladies" is not something I had on my bingo card for things Mike would say 😂😂

[@69HemiRoadrunner]

Who didn't plan the blocking for the TV?

[@khdhgtjrtu]

No need for blocking when Matt can find the elusive bracket stretcher. Available soon on the OG store.

[@ObsessedGarage]

There is no need for blocking when you have wooden studs. I just had an old bracket.

[@reggiemurphy7028]

I like to know something about most things.... OMG that's me and that's why I love mike and obsessed garage

[@LSD04]

I’d been happy with just the garage, floor and lights. Drizzle dodging today 😤

[@mahmoodnia]

I and all the other viewers would love a wash and talk with Mike.. make it happen Mr Mormon.. please

[@nelsongarcia9004]

Matt. I did not see the location sockets. That garage is looking great. I’m happy for you. 👍🏻👍🏻also great team that you have.

[@erikskaggs2651]

Looking good. Now that you have all of those nice built ins, I can come get that Red roller box out of your way, lol.

[@ObsessedGarage]

I’ll sell it to you cheap.

[@FixitFred]

We need to see Matt dive down the hole of labellers. My favourite to date is the brady m210 with nylon labels

[@Rixos.]

PERFECT CHANNEL

[@CC-vm3lb]

Cars and BBQ for the win 🎉!!

[@evergreenacres]

No 🎙️ for 🎥 man Mike yet. Well I’m that guy with the tv 📺 over the mantle. Sometimes you just don’t have a choice. There is no where else to put it. But you wouldn’t understand. Because you would just tear down the entire house and rebuilt it just to move the tv. 💸😉

[@ObsessedGarage]

I 100% would tear the fireplace out.

[@evergreenacres]

@@ObsessedGarage I figured you would say that. Unfortunately we live in the country and power in the winter not always available so sometimes we have to heat the house with wood burning. But if I did not need it then yes it would be gone it takes up my only wall option.

[@LeadfootFabrication]

The standard for tv height is bottom of tv at eye level

[@emiller7040]

Center of TV at eye level according to professional TV installers

[@ObsessedGarage]

Nope, eyes in the center.

[@tylerearith8241]

The upper cabinets really complete the array! When’s Mike W. getting a mic?

[@xpravadox]

Hey Matt, why not fold the bikes in the other direction on right side so you get more room between them and the closet doors?

[@awc723]

The epitome of look at me....

[@ObsessedGarage]

Nonsense

[@KillerBeez1]

Magnetic labels for cabinets??

[@trophyburro]

Mat needs a DYMO Industrial Label Maker | Rhino 5200

[@ObsessedGarage]

I have that exact one.

[@johnboot6732]

I think the tool box organizer is a neat idea but for the wrenchs you cant see what size they are

[@debugin1227]

99% of those sockets will ever be used.

[@1975oldschool]

You mean never be used cause he doesn’t come off as having grease under his nails from a cam swap haha

[@richardmesser1091]

But he will always have the correct size 1% of the time, not your worry, find a real world problem

[@1975oldschool]

@@richardmesser1091 Can’t deny that he will never not have the tool he needs, it’s awesome! He inspires me!

[@avidworkslol]

Matt is peak "have it just to have it". But whatever, it's his money and his garage and the point is to show people what they could have working with him.

[@Cormacmoore1]

⁠@@avidworkslolhis job is to sell these items. This garage, his previous garages and the future HQ are no different than you going to a bathroom store or a kitchen store, it’s a show room. He’s showing what they can offer you and you can pick and choose depending on your budget, like this garage the cabinets are a cheaper version than he will use in the HQ etc he is showing the range they can supply and build you. He doesn’t have to ‘use’ everything

[@davewestrup2420]

Hi Matt, I’m intrigued, love the video, and the garage progress, but interested in how many of your tools do you generally use,or are they really demo tools for your business? Cheers

[@ObsessedGarage]

I’ll use all of these at one point or another, but there is a ton of slightly different, but redundant tools. I will use this full set to create essentials sets.

[@davewestrup2420]

@ Thanks for the answer Matt, makes sense

[@eurospek]

What headunit is Mike's 4Runner? Impressive.

[@user-ut2vk6vf5l]

Mike you do great work. Matt you’re lucky to have him. Todd M (Winnipeg) . Your garage build videos are the best. Matt you know my cabinet color so great choice of cabinet color. lol

[@iatros786]

It's coming together great! I've seen you washing inside.. what kind of drain would you recommend under those tiles? Especially living in Florida and our bugs crawling in from everywhere..

[@annalongfield]

The water flows under the tiles and out the garage

[@G.Dean100]

@@annalongfieldthat would be impossible with the type of swisstrax setup being used.

[@annalongfield]

@@G.Dean100 I am going of what Matt has directly said and shown.

[@G.Dean100]

@@annalongfield I get it. I was just letting you know that isn’t the case here. Whenever the edge trim pieces are being used the channels or pathway for water that is always brought up is cut off from being able to flow through.

[@zed0k]

What model is the TV? It looks like it has a QD-OLED panel, which has raised black levels due to all of the ambient light, which causes the purple hue.

[@ObsessedGarage]

That is a 2016 LG G1 model.

[@G.Dean100]

@00:06:12 it feels as though things are being picked and chosen for us though?

[@metromatt]

Weird question. What are the shoes is Matt wearing? The black ones. Are they the 580’s? I need some black shoes and those are my style.

[@G.Dean100]

Feel bad for anyone who’s influenced by Matt’s wardrobe and sense of style. lol jk….sort of

[@ObsessedGarage]

440s

[@Anthony_jorge]

What's the ballpark on one of these builds?

[@ObsessedGarage]

This one is about $100k.

[@JohnnySuarez1982]

Can you show your RC car collection

[@patrickcollins9248]

Who has the RC cars? 😲

[@JohnnySuarez1982]

@patrickcollins9248 matt

[@rcobsesssed]

Edit: DISREGARD (its a Steadyrack) anyone know which bike mounts he’s using?

[@michaelpietnik9001]

Very nice garage. What is the garage size?

[@ObsessedGarage]

31' wide x 24.5' deep

[@dmitka8324]

Very cosy video. Sorry, English is not my native one)

[@FixitFred]

Interested to know why Matt does not do impact sockets in his collections.

[@ObsessedGarage]

I do, I just haven't selected them yet.

[@FixitFred]

@ i bought every type and size of gearwrench they are decent but have really enjoyed the new milwaukee ones as they are very clear and durable and most have trays that work in packout and in tool chests

[@G.Dean100]

Prob because Mike doesn’t have a big need to use them?

[@Ole_Lige]

At least when Matt dies, the man who replaces him will have every tool he needs

[@K33TS]

cant find 120 tooth tekton wrenches anywhere?

[@ObsessedGarage]

Gear Wrench

[@drumrboy80]

What brand combo ratcheting wrenches does he use?

[@ridergarnes7]

Gear

[@ObsessedGarage]

Gear Wrench

[@mindtrick714]

r/Tvtoohigh would have some word with this placement

[@ObsessedGarage]

What? No, the display is at eye level.

[@Riverguide33]

👍

[@rook6378]

Does he even use all these tools?

[@Gary-x7v]

i would say no. its to say look what i have

[@ObsessedGarage]

Yes

[@richardmesser1091]

Need a bike garage

[@Bosszl23]

As usual it's an overkill , who will use those tools when there is no lift ?

[@ObsessedGarage]

Me

[@harared831]

As a technician those drawers give me anxeity. Will never find what you are looking for. Better to have foam inserts that fit the few tools you actually needs.

[@ObsessedGarage]

It’s actually really easy. Once you memorize what drawer and rough location, you grab and go.

[@Nomit94]

What TV is that?

[@ObsessedGarage]

It's 2016 LG OLED. I think it's a G1.

[@G.Dean100]

@@ObsessedGarage there was no g1 back then

[@kristiezilis2350]

Feel like Matt skimped on TV size….

[@ObsessedGarage]

This is one I had laying around. I'm doing 77" later.

[@paulsanchez2163]

We spent $1200 on candy did I beat you ? Lots of kids come to our home.

[@nickpau3756]

I'm afraid of what I'm gonna spend at his store.

[@thomaslang6187]

I start to dislike this format. Felt 32 min of this video talking and only 2 min of Mikes craftmanship. I always appreciated how Mike transfers everythng into real dreams but it’s getting less and less and it feels much more like a talkshow... Reduce talking and add more building into the videos would be much appreciated. All the best!

[@ObsessedGarage]

Not much going on at this stage as it’s just slatwall install which is very repetitive. These things ebb and flow. Sometimes there’s a lot, other times not. We just aim to share as much authentically as we can. Thanks!

[@thomaslang6187]

@@ObsessedGarage Hi Matt, thanks for the feedback and explanation - that makes absolutely sense. So then I‘m waiting for the new videos hopefiully with more action again. All the best to you and your team!

[@abdulshabazz8597]

Nah. I don't like it. Pro slat. It resembles some type of interior vinyl siding. Also it has a semi-gloss sheen to it...

[@timkinley1779]

First time I've "first". I don't get it.
