It was all going so well.. but I still have hope! ~ Garage Conversion

[@untouchable2457]

You don't have to apologize. The fact that you're still working this hard despite problems and hardships speaks volumes about your character you're chasing what you love and we all will be here the moment your fully up and running no matter how long it takes

[@DanielOlaiDanielsen]

I recently ceased supporting a patreon, and I can't think of anyone I'd rather have fill that slot that TastyPC. I really appreciate what you're trying to accomplish and how you're going about it, and I recognize a lot of 'me' in the way you describe yourself. From one introvert dealing with things to another, I think you're doing great. Looking forward to TastyToys and more garage work!

[@Ryukaschien]

Yep! Yepp...the internet is officially a small place. Look who it is!

[@mygala]

Glad to hear from you. Take your time, enjoy life! Can't wait to see more video!

[@ElimRem]

Last time I saw one of your videos, RAM was cheap!

[@Ghis1964s]

....yep.... the good old days ;) But yeah, seriously, she came back after a long while, and then went off again :-(

[@zabdab1839]

Hear hear!!

[@d3m3n70r]

Lonk time no see, I assume

[@ACOGG-1]

It's astonishing to see someone beat down by life be so relatable, heart warming and downright delightful to watch. I love what you do and I hope you're still doing well and pushing on with that contagious enthusiasm of yours :)

[@eddiea3782]

Lauren, it's all perfectly normal stuff you run into during this sort of thing. It's part of the fun. One day you'll look back at all of this and laugh about it. Love watching your videos and your progress.

[@maxmustermann194]

Ohh my favorite ASMR construction worker is back!

[@themonroe654hd6]

Edgy. Nice.

[@AirDwindler402]

galaxiesaver do u know what asmr is???? Have u ever hsd sleeping problems??? This womans voice is asmr gold

[@maxmustermann194]

Dankalicious402 he probably didn't. Lauren even said she might do some ASMR for the fans since she got many requests.

[@Takusman]

For the roof, apply killz, it is a white heavy duty latex paint that kills and prevent mold

[@crazycrisco]

No need to rush stuff, take your time and do it right. Can't wait for it to be finished! Look forward to the new content soon.

[@lolakyle8]

Thx God you still there! And, yes, stop apologizing, and keep us updated! :D

[@miltmoltich8493]

I enjoy your story. Keep plugging away. I subscribed when I was building a couple PCs but I love the back story of your journey to be a successful KZbinr. You have skills!

[@pahaywood1992]

I’ve been watching your videos for a little while and it’s awesome to see you making a comeback! Totally empathise with your reasons for going under the radar and glad to see you coming out the other side. Roll on 2018, keep up the good work!

[@Roger101Watson]

Lovely hands for a bricklayer! ;)

[@sakcee]

Its an atrocity, those hands are not meant to lay bricks! This girl needs to be on TV, BBC!! or on twitch. She knows more about bricks than I know about anything.

[@Scoobydcs]

Stop apologising lol

[@TastyPC]

Sorry

[@Scoobydcs]

TastyPCTV I knew you'd say that haha

[@Scoobydcs]

TastyPCTV ps your voice would be great for asmr, you actually give me asmr without trying lol

[@mraccount4785]

Id like to apologize for my rampant apologizing. I had meant to stop apologizing and to move on with apologizing but unfortunately, I apologized mid sentence - Lauren. British etiquette?

[@EmilsAdventure]

It's so fucking akward

[@randy7068]

As a Father and Grandfather I feel the need to give you some friendly advice.The mold will continue to be a big problem because the garage hasn't been insulated and you may become ill breathing it in if you stay in there too long. A dehumidifier won't do any good without insulating the ceiling and walls first. Also that door should have never ever been used as it is an interior door only. A steel insulated exterior door with weather stripping on the frame (or any exterior door used or new) should have been installed. The door you have now is a hollow core door that has no insulating properties whatsoever. It has a wood frame on 4 sides with cardboard in the center for strength and it is famous for soaking up water (mostly from the ground up). The hinges are rusting because they are interior hinges and have no rust proof properties to them. Also if you get some estimates and some of the people don't show up, you shouldn't call them again. And when you get an estimate, try negotiating him down and ask if he can do better about the price.Most important, Never pay until the work is done. The most you should do is say I will give you half now, and half after it is finished and I am satisfied. Cheers from Canada.

[@Ironbuket]

Good tips. She wont listen though, others including myself warned her about the whole concept when it was first suggested. Looks like she plans to install an extractor to try to deal with the moisture she will create when shut in there OR the extractor is because she thinks its going to get hot in there. With no ceiling, a single skinned wall and a floor with no cavity or insulation under it...

[@TactMod]

This(Randar) statement is 100% true. I'm an estimator for a large lumber supply company in the U.S., and my jaw dropped when I saw an interior door installed in your garage. It's incorrect, un-safe, and wont last past 1 year. I greatly encourage you to re-negotiate with your builder to install a Steel exterior door. They have them with very nice, wood grain textures, if a more natural look is what you want. Good luck, God bless.

[@harryhorton976]

Hi Lauren - Great to see you back and YOU are doing a good job on your garage, the person who fixed your exterior door has put an internal door and frame in and can not fit a 5 lever mortise lock properly, most external doors open inwards so when shut they seal tight to the rebates outside seal to stop the weather getting round the door, also a weather strip on the bottom of the door helps move the water away form the bottom of the door - try and get them to do a proper job - I wish we could come and help you with all of this work to save you money and get you up and running again, Great video - Love you Channel.

[@TheImightyDixel]

Guess who's back, back again. Tasty's back, tell a friend!

[@coolhypedmovies]

Thanks, now I got that tune stuck in my head! >_

[@rkornilo]

No matter the video quality, you're voice is always soothing.

[@GronkGames]

Always puts a smile on my face seeing a new post notification from you. Keep it up Lauren, we're all behind you and here to support you in your future ventures, and stop apologising, shit happens and it looks like you've managed to roll with the punches where a lot of people may have already have given up.

[@Etherian87]

You dont need to apologise. Im sure you'll be back on track soon and i actually really enjoyed the video. I think its amazing you're optimistic and through sheer force of will you will get it done and get back to making the videos we all love but even better! your passion and drive is inspiring.

[@andurilan]

Awesome. Im in the middle of a 3 year reno on my desk and office, and I hear you. Dont let it weigh you down.

[@Pgcmoore]

it's wonderful to see you post a video, hope things are going well for you love.

[@darkwitch8648]

So excited to see this update Lauren! It’s coming right along. Can’t wait for the next vid

[@LongTran-yv2nq]

Came here as fast as I can! Woohoo you're back!

[@aethertech]

Any sort of sealant on the bottom of the door won't make a difference. It's a standard hollow core door - any amount of moisture is going to pretty much ruin the door. A better door would be recommended (also for security.)

[@rinhato8453]

The cutest garage-building, tech-reviewing, unintentional ASMRing youtuber is back!!!

[@davispeterson]

These renovation videos are surprisingly as entertaining as the PC review videos. Keep them coming!

[@jerrywatson1958]

Hi, welcome back. Love what you do. Keep up the good work.

[@TastyPC]

For those wondering, this is the type of door that was installed www.lawsons.co.uk/product/2440x1220x44mm-exterior-door-blank/j05500010 I know that there are much better options, but this was the best one that I could find in the budget that I had.

[@Jconway651]

In the long term I don’t think treating it will stop it expanding. Better to let it expand, trim it to fit then seal. It’s always good to leave any wood products unwrapped in area they will be installed for a week or so before installation. That way they should expand before installation and won’t move to much after. UPVC doors are ideal because they can be fitted in almost any location and weather and the movement is minimal.

[@profosist]

One comment about the door, more the hinges you used. Could you not just take the pin out and take the door off? I say this since you may have things in there worth some money in the future.

[@Ironbuket]

That supplier link explains a lot. If you visit the site you quickly realise that there is no menu option for external doors ONLY INTERNAL DOORS. Although the door linked mentions external in the description, the website mentions the external door range is not listed on the website and is only availble to view in store. The door linked is within the INTERNAL DOOR section. The external tag on that product may be a typo... Let someone that knows what they are doing pick the parts... It doesnt even have a rain deflector... Used solid wood exterior doors on ebay from £5 up...

[@TastyPC]

I didn’t pick the door, the builders did. This isn’t the exact one though, if you Google “external fire door” you will see them in other retailers sold as an external door as well. The mistake made by the contractors was that they took too much material from the bottom of the door and nothing from the top. They also did nothing to seal the cut. There’s no rain deflector as obviously I wanted to paint the door first. The plan was ALWAYS to use a cheap door as a temporary measure and then upgrade to PVC after a few years use. The really messy part of cutting the hole for the frame is now out of the way so it won’t be too disruptive to upgrade later.

[@Steve1979a]

If this needs changing at later date I used this door on my man cave £199 for steel insulated door including frame pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=202175010433&globalID=EBAY-GB

[@Primusaur]

keep up the good work! glad to see you are still working vigilantly towards your return. can't wait to see more!

[@H3adcrash]

Yay! Great with an update on this. :D Your nail polish looks absolutely awesome btw!

[@maneeshpatel1594]

It's great to see how your garage renovation is progressing! It must be frustrating having to constantly stave off damage from the water. Good luck!

[@sevanon6185]

Woo a new upload! Video isnt an "awful watch", its pretty good and stable considering the weather we have had in the UK i bet that garage has been FREEZING! So bonus points there :) Happy to see the garage update and look forward to your future videos. Fingers crossed the garage can get sorted soon and all being well even if it does take time the fans are still here :D

[@matthewwilliams4113]

Glad to see things are still sort on track things like this never truly stay on track but progress is been made good to see

[@Will-Xaru]

Take it easy TastyPC :) I look forward to new videos in 2018 but there's no rush

[@hardware20x]

Looking forward to the next video of a brick wall :)

[@dacanceledcast6833]

Glad to see you're still making videos!

[@souldragongold]

Nice to see you're getting back to things. Your future ideas sound promising. Glad I'm not the only one with garage conversion plans this year (though with you already having a pre-existing electric supply is one big step ahead of me). Sucks about the door especially as your keeping to a tight budget. Looking forward to seeing your progress.

[@Baron_Harkonnen]

Geez. This is dedication. A lot of people would have just given up, especially the way life hit you before this point. You could inspire alot of people.

[@Cownt299]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa this is so exciting! Youve come a long way from the series of fan reviews!

[@brentondavies]

I’ve been subscribed for many years because I love the content you put out. I recently built a pool table room/recreational area with my father out of an old car shed similar to like how you’re doing. It’s honestly the best feeling to see the progress and I can’t wait to see this room built and see regular videos from you again Lauren 😊

[@phraun]

Glad to see you're still moving ahead! Looking forward to more.

[@noahbosman]

I love the fact that you do make a video, even when it's not ideal

[@jacobnoori]

glad you’re back

[@highlycaffeinated6864]

I always look forward to your videos Lauren, you are such a sweet person. I hope things start falling into place for you going forward. I know I speak for a lot of people we miss your content a lot but understand what your trying to achieve.

[@LordZarlon]

Stay though course. I'm looking forward to the rest of your project and then the video's you'll make afterward.

[@twinturbo5212]

Great to see you again Lauren, your reviews are fantastic! Looking forward to seeing more of TastyPCTV in 2018 :-)

[@themblan]

This video is excellent. Don't be hard on yourself.

[@saskmuddinatv]

Great video as always! Thanks for the update! I hope you can get the garage up and running asap with no more issues! Being broke sucks. Especially when you are trying to make progress on a project. Either way keep up the good work. I'm looking forward to the content you bring in the future.

[@hornetgamer8980]

Doing some of the DIY on a project yourself is both the most terrifying and most rewarding thing you'll ever do. I imagine doubly rewarding in your case because of how unique the project is. Agree with what you say in the video, drilling definitely the scariest thing. I bought a wreck as my first home recently. After the costs of gas and electric, I couldn't afford to get my damp proofing done by a contractor. Thankfully I know how to plaster, and I researched it to make sure I got the right chemical for salt neutralising and waterproofing. What I wasn't prepared for in advance was having to drill 200mm long, 12mm wide holes through the mortar of the 240mm-ish thick exterior walls (didn't have precise dimensions so had to use a bit of imagination to get decent measurements), without actually penetrating to the outside, for my Dryrod DPC silicone-based rods. Don't think I've ever been so nervous in my entire life as when I drilled that first hole. But when you see the progress and realise that it was you that made that happen through planning and through actual labour - totally worth it. Glad to hear you in good humour and optimistic about the project despite it taking longer than you'd hoped for so far. Hope the rest of it goes well for you.

[@Hunikengt]

Good luck, looking forward to your content in this year.

[@chrisafp071]

Hi Lauren, been watching your channel since close to the start. Enjoy yourself and don't hold yourself to such high standards. You've done great and life is never easy is it, I've had my own personal struggles lately. Thanks for sharing us and please take care of yourself 😊

[@IvanBelic]

Looking forward to it Lauren! Let TastyPC stand strong! :D

[@jackthelad9933]

Hey, there she is! :-) missed ya!

[@jackhammer1839]

Good to see some content from you. Sorry to see all the problems plaguing your project.

[@-wickie-4714]

Dont let the little things get you down lauren your doing really well.

[@lonespartan31289]

enough people have commented on the door, so i'll leave that. As far as the mold is concerned, i would recommend putting bleach in a pump sprayer, like a garden sprayer/weed sprayer and just hitting all the mold spots, maybe even the whole bay that mold is in. It will kill it, and prevent new mold from forming for a while. If you use 'outdoor' bleach it won't smell to bad or cause respiratory problems. Nice progress!

[@hotrockjoey]

So glad to see everything is going well! Can't wait for what's to come (:

[@jthompson120db]

hey crazy, good to see Everything is alright with you, looking forward to the videos ... keep smiling!

[@jthompson120db]

fyi... no one will be noticing the wall when you're there ;)

[@Ruben-Mazereeuw]

Good to hear from you again. Nice upgrade with the electronics and lighting. And good quality and safe materials used i see. Wishes al the best to you and with your project. Looking forward for a new video ☺️

[@DanSlades]

Great Video. Really glad you've got a space you can call your own. It may be slow going right now but in the long run it will be worth it. Keep up the great work.

[@jasonsaez3668]

Lauren, you are doing great! I wish I had the time and resources to redo my computer area as well! Love the project so far!!! You go Girl!!!!

[@parahthemad]

Even your hands are beautiful!

[@itsdeonlol]

Good luck on everything!

[@spoons27]

You have already accomplished more in 2018 than I have keep on keeping on.

[@JuddJadulan]

Don't give up fam, we got you.

[@BostonClipper]

You have a "hollow core" interior grade door. I am sure it was the lowest cost option but there is a reason for that. The real problem is that your "builders" installed an interior grade door on an exterior wall. No legitimate builder would do that. Not to mention the threshold has no slope to divert rainwater. Your hinges are also interior grade never meant to be exposed to the weather, not a "bad lot". You need to get someone who understands construction to look at this project ASAP and stop listing to your builders now! Withhold any payment until this gets resolved.

[@Ironbuket]

Looks like she picked the door herself from how she worded her other post. Agree the builder should have warned her, but we dont know they didnt

[@musikmakerman]

It's truly Amazing how far you have come it's great to see you succeed bless you your videos have taught me a lot about PC tech and even a little DIY 😊 all the best

[@juleslatimer9109]

That socket would grind my gears Lauren. I suggest cutting the power to the sockets, removing the cover to the socket and release the screw on the right. Manoeuvre the socket until its level. gently re-tighten the screw whilst holding the socket in place. Grip fill is your friend with those loose bricks lol Good work well done! Ps wear some gloves when playing with mortar otherwise those lovely hands might get damaged x

[@lzkovacs]

Crystall clear video, great camera moving created friendly atmosphere.

[@JamesFox1]

Glad to see you once again , be safe

[@NexAddo]

It's so good to hear you again! This project is amazing and I'm going to use it for inspiration for my man shed\bar!

[@morbid1.]

I admire you. Not many people would go thu all that crap and gave up already. I really hope to see you up and running in no time.

[@OPTERON_PRIME]

Yay thanks for another update! Anything Lovely Lauren!

[@christopherjames9843]

Six videos in two years. Hard to be optimistic TastyPCTV will ever be back.

[@nitt3rz]

Good to see progress, no matter how slow.

[@Huntly_Gordon]

Keep on Shining strong, Lauren

[@Kundalini12]

Nice to see how things are progressing :)

[@doozydave5639]

As you said, the builders should have fitted trim (12mm hardwood lipping) top and bottom of the door. It looks like there is lipping to the sides. Once done and dry, several coats of paint or exterior varnish will work, especially to the top and bottom. Good luck Lauren and don't get disheartened with these things - they are only blips in the greater scheme.

[@victorbart]

Great video! Love the progress! Im a Patreon Supporter of you now! Don't apologize all the time. I enjoy all your videos. Nice studio!

[@newtube7187]

Great to see you back !

[@StevieLudo]

Your videos are always really interesting regardless of the subject. Been subbed for years now and am always glad to see a video from you. Like others have said, your voice is great and would be amazing for asmr or even just more videos with a voiceover. Mould is such a pain in the ass here in the UK sometimes, eh? Had a couple of places now with the same issue as you. Anyway, this was really cool to see this progression and I hope the stress of all this is over for you soon.

[@Mikey-Likes-I.T]

keep at it! looking forward to the next advancement!

[@gaspererjavec7108]

Wow so nice to see you are a hands on person :) looks good :)

[@LiteGaming10]

You are back!

[@Dave64track]

Good to see you back you've been very busy by the looks of it. It will look great when finished things like this always take longer than expected. Just upload a video when you can it would be good to see it all come together to the final finished workshop. Hope you had a great Christmas and all the best for the New Year with this channel 👍

[@Snafu2346]

Its good to hear from you, keep posting when you get a chance. We just like to hear that you are okay.

[@davidminor1254]

I am so glad you took your time so you didn't ruin your outfit and hands

[@Overkill1978]

Years from now, you're a big star and you've moved out of this place and stripped it of all the equipment you've nailed/bolted/screwed into the bricks and mortars. Some new up-and-comer movies in and renovates, sees all the holes in the mortar, and says, "Like seriously though, what were the previous owners up to here? Fitting the columns with these many holes, it does seem a little excessive." 😂

[@davocc2405]

First time I've ever seen brick laying done with carefully manicured nails... first even for youtube!

[@totalkiller4]

I love seeing new videos :D can't wait till your back to making regular videos

Looks good! Just keep up the good work and have fun doing it!
