We can't fight about this any longer... | ULTIMATE Garage Storage

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Any guesses on what our first project in the finished shop is going to be?

[@DeanJohnson67]

darn you! re-watched 3 times! Saw nothing obvious! ;) --- I did see red paint lines on the gravel but otherwise nada! and you were moving that floor cleaner! Guess I will see when others do :) ---- o0o maybe a timeout corner cage for Riley if he messes up the new shop :)

[@ronhutchins3780]

Possibly fabricating something to fix that hole around the stovepipe?

[@tehNashty]

Not a clue...I'll just have to wait. I don't really need fingernails, right?

[@brianperry4754]

That storage system is awesome! I really hope that my wife does not see it, because she would order one for our garage and get rid of my garage organization. You just need to put labels on each cabinet to find stuff.

[@preparedbear5727]

Some kind of hoist on beams & rollers moubted above?

[@fouracrefamily9801]

“3 quadrants…” got me scratching my head! 😆

[@andrewpinson1268]

Decking out, finishing touches, organizing, "prettying it up" , whatever you want to call doing to your place is one of the most enjoyable, slightly frustrating jobs there is. I am a compulsive re-organizer so I would be in heaven with that storage system.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

That is such a great way to describe the process. We've been in a constant state of moving for so many years. It feels great to be settled!

[@sonnymoon6465]

I vote freakishly clean. Or that clean not be considered freakish if one person likes it and is willing to do the work. I am 69 and stopped trying to blame messy people but to spend any such thoughts and efforts at doing the cleaning myself instead. It is a game changer attitude wise. The blame game is a death of one's spirit game and that is never a game ! Thanks you two. You are so awesome and your abundant progress and ambition proves it !

[@nikolatesla5553]

I was a little surprised by this weeks episode. I figured with the big bucks being spent on the excavator rental it would be more road building. But since the episodes aren't done in real time Riley and Courtney did this out of order. This system looks awesome. It could even make me organized. Well, maybe.

[@Steve.5]

Simple fact is that the more organized you are the more productive you will be. Great things are ahead! ❤

[@AmbitionStrikes]

This is SO true! And it makes filming and sharing these projects with you all so much easier.

[@BrokeWrench]

That explains why it always takes me so long to finish a project😂

[@RPM-sr2gn]

That new Rack look awesome.Glad to see that Courtney & Riley are working together again.This channel was built by both of you.One Suggestion.You should have a way for us to ask Question about things that were said on past video's.Like,your Solar power where you store it in that shipping container?Has it worked the way you thought?

[@RichardCichon]

For those complaining about this last video being an informercial I got this off the internet. “Production of a long form infomercial (28.5 minutes) will cost between $175,000 to $450,000 on average,” said one website. Another said: “Most infomercials cost somewhere between about $25,000 and $250,000 to produce.” Cortney and Riley do this every week! Even if Levrack gave them the rack system and table for free (Guesstimated cost 15K). Levrack came out ahead sponsoring Ambition Strikes if they can use this as advertising. If Cortney and Riley got paid on top of that, more power to them. This is their life so quit criticizing. I, for one, admire what they are doing so if they have sponsors to help defray costs, I am sure they work very hard to get them. Consider this their job and remember the clever little teaser at the end of the video is meant to get you watch the next video. I know I’ll be watching next week no matter what they post.

[@kellstat]

That kid is going to have a blast growing up, and probably have some made skills!

[@BobScotts]

Hey Courtney, take it from a 6'5" person who also likes to build stuff but spends a ton of time in front of a computer as my day job...don't underestimate the importance of getting a really good, ergonomic chair that fits your body and avoid slouching at all costs, as well as proper positioning of your keyboard & mouse so your wrists are in a neutral position. Ignoring such ergonomic concerns will never seem like an issue until it suddenly is, causing havoc with lower back pain and/or wrist issues. Also, I firmly believe working with your legs crossed can exacerbate the issue, as I often have done in my past, as it misaligns your lower spine over long periods of time. I only mention all of this because of the way I saw you sitting and working around t=14:04 thru 14:20, sitting very low, slouching, with your arms and hands wresting at the keyboard and mouse in a very unergonomic position, and crossing your legs as you moved between your computer and your cutter. Let's just say, these aspects of your body position looked familiar, and I speak from experience when I say that these ergonomic missteps are cumulative, and will come back to haunt you, especially with your height.

[@kickpl8]

@AmbitionStrikes we're glad you liked the kick plate we made you! The shop is looking great, we are elated to be a part of it! You guys are awesome! ❤😊

[@AmbitionStrikes]

We LOVE it. Thank you so much!!

[@arigornstrider]

The correct phrase per Mike Rowe is "Work smarter and harder." I grew up in a household where using your mind and body were key components of a job well done. I think I get where you were going, it just bugs me how the common trope in the USA for the last ~70 years has demeaned anyone that does any sort of physical labor or trade. I'm glad I can call a plumber when the poop backs up in my house. Side note, your incinerator toilet is awesome!

[@flukybrain9393]

because my current hardware situation at 11.15 seems to put a smile on Courtney's face🤭

[@electricboatal]

I am truly impressed with the Levrack system. It may be the solution to my storage problem. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Al

[@CityDude72]

I love the Ambition A logo. Very cool how you integrated the A into a mountain.

[@Buickluvr]

Organization is so difficult. But so gratifying when it's done. Isn't it interesting, all the cool stuff you find that you don't remember buying, thought you lost, or have no idea where it came from? Now you have to find the proper place for it. It's "forever home"...

[@jimsweeney7339]

Ambition strikes is the perfect name for the two of you. The amount you have accomplished in the past couple of years is amazing!

[@freundron]

Pretty soon Ollie may be looking for a hiding spot in one of those quadrants!😮😊

[@jezzettrl]

That logo is so cool! Great job on designing that!

[@bobme2787]

That is a cool and efficient system. But for the average or above DIYER it is way too expensive. Your subscribers and you tube presence makes it practical for a company to give you a great deal with the expectation of additional business.

[@rookie1514]

The Levracks are awesome … I am very envious 😕 After doing an owner build on my current home I have come to learn the building code quite well. The stair case in the shop absolutely needs a hand rail! I watched Courtney walk down the stairs with Oliver and cringed 😮. A nice hand rail bolted to the wall would be a quick fix👍🏼👍🏼

[@freddien7]

Soo good Courtney to see you back on the tools helping Riley, they look soo good, and the way they slide Niicce!! Thanks fro the video Love from UK x x x

[@ericbrinson9741]

That rack system is awesome. I love the sliding cabinets with all the drawers and storage. I’ll add that to my list for my dream shop someday

[@AmbitionStrikes]

It feels surreal to have such a nice workshop. It feels like just yesterday we were building a camper in our driveway!

[@ericbrinson9741]

@@AmbitionStrikes I get the same feeling when I look around my place, 2 years ago my girlfriend and I built a shop, had a baby, and we’ve been working towards our dream of having our own excavating business for the past 2 year. It’s truly incredible how far we’ve come. I’m glad we’ve documented most of it on our channel, it’s incredible to look back and remind ourselves of how far we’ve come

[@CanadianBusLiving]

Must be levrack week 😂 3rd you tuber i watch this week installing Levrack stuff lol

[@MichelleLHiga]

That level of organization must feel amazing! Very happy for you!!

[@AmbitionStrikes]

We've come a long way from storing our tools in a trash can!

[@MichelleLHiga]

@@AmbitionStrikes by the way, I love your logo! Did you guys design it?

[@CharlesManess]

That is honestly the most bad ass system I’ve ever seen

[@Jeff-jg7jh]

Labels on that giant black tool box. It might look goofy but it saves you opening three different drawers to find things. It doesn't have to be every drawer, just enough 'sign posts' to set a rhythm.

[@gourdarchibald6588]

i am genuinely pleased for you that your channel is doing well enough that you get given so much great stuff, you work very hard to earn this, but please don't keep posting 19 minute adverts for stuff most people can only dream of ever owning. Your channel, do what you like, personally i watch to follow your adventures and project progress. There is a balance to be found, the technical side like the solar control install - really informative, but racking? I'm never going to even see a Bulldozer let alone try and fix one, but it was great to watch - again racking? not so much!

[@bobhale8325]

Fantastic shelving and organization. I need something like that in my house.

[@MelloBlend]

On another note, you guys are a perfect example of a couple that gives and takes 50/50. The way you work out the differences says a lot about your dedication to the family unit. I think we can all learn from you guys. I myself think that my wife and I are also 50/50 but I am still the boss in the end...LOL. I had to throw that in.....She does the money stuff so really, I think she's the boss...hahaha

[@robertlong9029]

You guys have made me envious. That shelving looks great wish I could afford it

[@The_Beast_666]

GREAT SUPERB EXCELLENT DUO! Most organized couple on earth 🌎!!!

[@garysizemore3729]

Consider putting a timer on the charger strip to run an hr a day to top them off instead of running continuously then just switch the bar to the free plug during high use project days. All the best!

[@zamis21]

Now that's a Vinyl cutter!! I just have a Circut lol First Project is a Car seat for Oliver that can fit in all your "Big Toys" lol

[@RinaGoslin-ku3xr]

Oliver is the best part of the Show. Great Job Guy's 👍

[@wallykramer7566]

The storage system is fine. But while you were doing this, how many tractors, excavators, and skid steers were out of order? ;-) Courtey looks amazingly beautiful in this video! How did that happen?

[@grahamwood9842]

Amazing storage system. A great investment. Will save time in the future. Well done.

[@tomsisk6811]

You've come a long way there pilgrim , Nice !

[@lindamattingly3783]

I held my breath while watching Courtney come down the steps, from her office loft, holding Ollie. I know the steps are narrow, but you must find a way to install a handrail. That's a long flight of stairs to risk a devastating, disastrous fall. On another note, I've wondered why your bi-folding shop door seems to be untreated….it appears to be rusted. Any reasoning behind this, or am I missing something? Love your videos. JDM (not Linda)

[@brianehly1954]

On the hanging cabnets, make every other one's open side face the next one's so you have access to two at the same time. Also put your hardware drawers at waist height with a closed shelf over top to place hardware while getting or putting away. Your back and knees will thank you in 10 to 15 years.

[@65BAJA]

11:20 Y'all need one of those hardware racks like Diesel Creek has.

[@exracer2727]

That is an awesome setup. You need a fourth section to call them quadrants though.

Im the clean freak in our relationship.. Saw a board sweep it up, saw another board sweep it up ..My incredible wife will wait until shes knee deep. And she wants to keep everything and not get rid of useless stuff. The struggle is real😅

[@tspeegle007]

I bought a Levrack system for my garage and I have to be honest. Levrack the world! Love it.

[@hrcnick11]

Watching you lift the heavy table top my wife and I at the same time, “YOU HAVE A FORK TRUCK” or at least a skid steer with forks. My wife reminds me all the time that we have machinery to work smarter and not harder. Love your Content and your Journey, good to see the baby also.

[@timrees2670]

Really enjoy seeing the whole family work together.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

We are so thankful that we get to continue to do what we love (building things) with baby Oliver in the picture.

[@cbmirada]

You should get a rolling stairs to make accessing your new rack easier

[@fredericrike5974]

AWESOME! Still think you might want to think hard about an "equipment shed"- all those hydraulic hoses and such will do a lot better for not being left out in the wet and freezing weather.

[@cyumadbrosummit3534]

When you life payed down on that table it reminded me of those torcher videos from another website.

[@watchthe1369]

You might want to look in on Accro Bins, maybe baby food jars, for small part storage. Screw the lids to the bottom of shelves..

[@LordFenixBloodstone]

He is like a big kid, I love it because so am I.

[@GodzHammer]

SO Awesome!!! Congratulations!!🍾🎉

[@inquisitivemind2465]

Coming into a clean and tidy shop makes doing projects so much easier, because you aren't fighting for space and having to move dozens of things to get at what you need. Another great video guys 👍

[@farmerthatflies]

Riley I don’t know how you landed that lovely lady, but well done son. I wonder if little Oliver knows yet what a great mom he has and what a wonderful childhood he’s going to have 😊

[@curtisdoyle3598]

Y’all two are great together

[@phillipcoiner4232]

When I store stuff in containers I try to get the clear ones with flat sturdy tops so you can stack them. The clear helps me find what I'm looking for along with Dymo stick on labels on the same place on each side and the lid. That way no matter which way I put it back in the stack I'm looking at a label. If it is on the floor with the lid on the label tells me what is in the bin.

[@ti.mythril]

Very professional shelf.. HAND RAIL for the stairs!

[@arthill6270]

Really like the new organizer racks, nice addition……

[@carolewarner101]

Since LevRack sponsored you, you may not have paid as much or even been gifted the whole system, but would you share what that entire system cost would cost someone else to buy by item please? Like the 4 x 8 table, the racking, those moveable storage lockers, etc??? We're just now building our shop in preparation for building our house next year, and we NEED a system like that...IF we can afford it that is. DO TELL!

[@brettn4337]

G'day from downunder guys. I've been watching the channel since the beginning and have seen the growth in your channel. One thing that has always intrigued me is apart from the purchase of your land and initial build what items have been supplied "free of charge" and what you have actually paid for . I'd be interested in a breakdown. Thanks

[@donnaluttrell5490]

I love your new garage and I love the new storage unit When my garage is finished. I want to buy that same storage unit Oille is so cute. ❤

[@ahorseman4ever1]

Deb and I absolutely loved seeing Courtney back for more than a cameo! Probably the thing we love about your channel is your team work. You two are amazing together. You complete each other. Love love the levrack. Cool addition to the shop. Great thinking on using the rack itself as scaffolding. Looking forward to next week. Now we've watched your video we can have coffee!

You should get a flameproof metal shelf/container to store your paints and oils in. don't want your house/shop burning down from improperly stored hydrocarbons.

[@DonFarmer-hq5sw]

I loved the new paint 🎨 on the door, especially the. “Ambition Strikes”. Striker plate 😊

[@kschleic9053]

Get a flammables cabinet to put in your automotive section, for storing your paints and other chemicals...

[@ltanthrax8435]

You should have the backs of sliding cabinets oppose each other, that way when you open one side you have access to two units. That way you don't have to move so much to get your tools

[@JasonStevenson72]

I've watched 3 or 4 of your videos now. Very cool watching you guys grow together and learning to build things. Keep up the great content! Oliver is certainly a cute addition to your team!

Riley, you're still young but make sure you pay attention to form when lifting heavy things. Flatten out your back, brace your core and use your legs. I'm sure there are good how-tos available out there.

[@Bay_Archer]

I love how the garage door is turning out.

[@hsjawanda]

The Levrack system is a really great addition to your workshop: makes me want to have a workshop to put this system in 😜!.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Which came first, the storage or the tools? 😉

[@thinkfirst6431]

Looks like Interlake pallet racking. I have about 50 leaner feet of it in my shop with 11 feet high uprights I cut out of 22' uprights I got used from a warehouse. You can put racking up by yourself if you are strong enough. Put the first upright against the end wall at a slight angle. Determine the spacing of your cros s bars, I put the first level at about 13" off of the ground so that you can shove heavy items under the bottom cross bar in the dead space. Starting in the back put the first cross bar on the bottom position on the upright that you have standing against the wall. Then put the second upright in place and using the cross bar as a lever pull the bar down, which will cause the first upright to straighten, to and then connect the cross bar to the second upright. What you now have is somewhat unstable so quickly install the first level front cross bar in place. Then install the second level back bar then the front bar. Once the first and second level are installed the section is stable. I use plywood or OSB as shelving across the cross bars with 2X3's or 2X4's as cross supports under the plywood or OSB. Most cross bars will have a notch in the inside edge which will take a 1 1/2" thick piece of wood, cut to the width of the beams inside the notch to notch, to hold the 2 by and be level with the top of the beam. Make the shelf on the second level then use it to stand on to put up the 3rd and 4th level crossbars up back to front. Make the 4th level shelf and use it to install the 5th and 6th level depending on how high you are going. The section can roll over to the side so if you can tie off the top of the uprights until you get them in place and bolted to the floor. The wider the uprights are the more stable they will be. 24" is look out below, 48" is a lot more stable. Now that you have 1 section up the next section(s) are easier and safer. Install the bottom back cross bar which should stick out straight more or less then place the next upright in place and connect the cross bar. Install the front first cross bar. Repeat the above steps as you go up. Before the installed racking gets too heavy scoot it around into its final place before installing more uprights and cross bars. Keep the uprights inline with each other and when done MAKE SURE to install good floor anchors into the upright pads sitting on the floor. The rack and contents will be heavy so use concrete anchors that go down into the concrete at least 4-6 inches depending on how high and how loaded the rack is based on the anchor manufactures recommendations. DO NOT try this at home.
