Transforming A Garage On a Budget! | Part 3: Ceiling Insulation & Starting Drywall

Hey Everyone,
Today we are continuing right were we left off in the garage build. In our attempt to improve the place we started by installing windows and now they need to be finished. We also need to figure out the best way to insulate the ceiling. It is a never ending list of to-dos and changing more and more by the day.
Thank you for all the support on the garage build series! For all those waiting for car videos to return, I am hoping to have this wrapped up in the next couple weeks and then come back with some big car announcements😉
Thank you for watching, consider liking & subscribing for more.

Came for the e30, staying for the quality production! 👍

[@HunterDirection]

I have some pretty big plans for the E30 in the works! Once the garage is ready that car is gonna get some big upgrades!

Hunter makes DIY look easy. His training as an engineer is a blessing. I would have screwed up the drywall on 1 minute.😂

[@angeloflores551]

Discovered your channel searching for b5 s4 videos. Stayed for the quality content and your life journey. Looking forward to more.👍🏽

[@HunterDirection]

I am thrilled to hear that! I've got some big plans for the b5 in the works! Once the garage is all set up that car is likely getting it's engine pulled🤙

The list of to-dos never ends really! It's a blessing and a curse. I bought my first home in 2020. I've ripped out all the carpet, laid hardwood floors, refinished some old floors across the rest of my home worth salvaging, painted the whole house, addressed plumbing and remodeled the bathroom, added some newer doors, refinished the stairwell and railings, and the list continues. Sometimes it's discouraging to look at the massive amount of things I'd still like to complete, but looking back on what I've been able to accomplish fills me with gratitude. It's the same with cars and I know you resinate with this feeling. All of this to say just keep going and don't get discouraged. Your progress I've seen in just over the last year through a computer screen is awesome, and you genuinely seem like an awesome person. Loving the channel more and more as time goes on and find myself waiting for you to release the next video. P.S. you're surprisingly good at window installation lol

This is the first time I’ve ever viewed life on the wood to drywall spectrum. That cracked me up. Another great instalment. Soundtrack work is next level. Easily one of the top creators on KZbin.

[@RonaldCiubuc]

Ok I just have to say, the first minute of this video I was hooked. I love the style you did this in.

[@tiexgrr]

Great work so far! One small tip, each end of your sheet should land on a stud. It looks like you missed this on the back wall of the garage. It’s going to make it very hard to tape/mud if there is no stud behind to support the sheet.

Bought my first home about 17 years ago. It never ends- mortgage is almost paid off- but the taxes and repairs will continue 😵‍💫

E30 318is owner. Love the content. Pro tip- use your speed square as a fence/guide when cutting with your circular saw. Massive time saver and also guarantees straight 90 and 45 degree cuts. All other angles with a little more difficulty. Keep up the good work.

[@ctcoello2502]

Hey I was watching your e30 series as I was building my e30 and I realized that your driver and passenger seats are swapped. I love all your videos and I think the story is amazing. Also an aspiring mechanical engineer and it’s nice to see the way you work through your projects in a very professional manner.

In the "The Boxer" Paul Simon wrote, "After changes upon changes, we are more or less the same". So, maybe that will give you some insight.

[@HunterDirection]

That's a great quote and I resonate with it! I will have to look into him more!

Been waiting

Nice job 👍🏻 Funny to see so little screws used on drywall or gypsum. I core renovate our house and in Germany you generally have 20cm between screws. On ceilings 10cm. There are people who cheap out, but it's not worth it. I only used a few thousand screws for the maybe 300m² of gypsum I used. The top floor, which sits inside the roof, was stripped and new walls were put up. Naturally I used two gypsum boards on top of each other, overlapping of course, on either side of the framing making for 14,5cm thick walls with mineral wool insulation inside it. I often worked with gypsum and I don't particularly like it. Gas concrete blocks are nicer, but sometimes it's the most fitting solution to use drywall. It also adds to structural strength with the framing inside it.

[@LifeofBrinc]

You’re doing a great job so far. But since you said you’ll be doing more Dewey just invest in a drywall screw drill it’ll pay for itself after a few sheets in time. Speeds up the process.

[@teamphashash]

I've come to a point where I see your video, press like then watch. And I'm never disappointed at my hasty decision. Keep it up myninja!

[@motocorn]

Incredible video. LOVE the story telling and editing style. Im going to assume your degree was something around film? Either way, love the series

[@HunterDirection]

Haha I actually have an engineering degree. But film would have been a blast to study! I am stoked you enjoy the video that much!

[@jeffkoch8612]

God, I love this channel. You’re either LDS, or a psyche minor. Your introspection is wild

[@HunterDirection]

Lmao😆 I am glad you like the introspection! I am not LDS or a psych minor though. Just enjoy thinking about a ton of things

[@jeffkoch8612]

@@HunterDirection You’ve a very clear, cogent perspective on life. Came for the German shitbox restovations, staying for everything else, and that

[@Slowcarfastbeans]

Drywall isn’t terrible other than it’s unwieldy even with two people sometimes.

[@hendrikvandenberg]

Another great video. And my final answer is, that I think the E30 should go red...

[@grantlingley1385]

Awesome project and a crazy fun / scary / fun time of your life! You’re doing great and the video is lots of fun…brings back all kinds of memories for me too!

[@2hlix]

Been enjoying this series. Thanks. Flashing tape on the bottom edge of the windows isn't necessarily a good idea as it can help trap any water in that gets behind the window. I wouldn't worry about it now that's it done. Just saying for the next time you do a window think about not sealing the bottom flange in. Cheers keep up the good work.

[@a890136]

Another great video. Great soundtrack as well. I love the car content more, but this is also great!

[@HunterDirection]

Car content is not going anywhere! Once the garage is set up it's going to come back full swing with some big announcements! Thank you for the support!

[@tinman429]

Loving the videos just found your channel due to e30 content. I really enjoy your self reflection comments and positivity you dont see that much these days. Keep cracking on man

[@HunterDirection]

I completely agree that a positive outlook is getting rarer and rarer nowadays. I am glad to hear that you enjoy the reflection! Thank you for the support

[@Qubez_]

Always stoked when you upload a new video! Good work man! Everything is really coming along, excited to see some more work on the B5 :)

[@HunterDirection]

The b5 is going to get some big upgrades once the garage is all set! I am thrilled you are excited! The support means the world to me!

[@B5S4SCHA]

Ah yesssssss I love the garage videos

[@HunterDirection]

I am stoked you are enjoying them!

[@RyanFannon-fy1yf]

Love the retro intro bud. Makes me happy you hold onto the nostalgia of it. Garage is looking great keep jamming dude. 👍

[@swift__]

Your doing a great job man🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@HunterDirection]

That means alot to me! Thank you a ton!
