However, when you make mistakes, you own them. Don’t change that honesty and humor, your channel is very refreshing. By the way, I am a DIY 63 year old woman. LOL. ❤
I wouldn't even consider this if it's and actual working garage with oil changes, nasty spills, metal shavings, glass shards, sand, and God knows what else.
@@kwitwerikok8o863 - yeah or i would imaging cars rolling in and out over that carpet everyday would reduce its lifespan 10 fold.... like done in months.. not years. lol. The best would be a product like Bedrug for truck beds. I have a Bedrug and love it. I can vacuum it or power wash it out and its non absorbant so even old oil i spilled didnt stain it. If these tiles would hold up to heavy traffic like cars, be stain resistant, and be able to be power washed clean Id bite on them in 2 seconds. Instead ill keep shopping other ideas such as stain and seal and the expensive garage tiles.
I bought used office grade carpet squares from craigslist. They are 24x24 and are heavy enough to not need any glue. The tight weave vaccums up very well or i just use my leaf blower for a quick cleanup. Cost $1 each. 😊
Those furry little terrorists are constantly foiling my plans and destroying my house... but... I like them more than the people I invite into my house. What I'm trying to get at is another great video, Haxman! Love your content.
@@HAXMAN 😿please help me-/ how can i buy a milling machine and i don’t have money for it i need a solutions ( robbing a bank not one of them) how i start building my workshop 🌹
It may not serve all purposes, but I've been happy using the packs of foam shop mats from Harbor Freight. For $10 you get four interlocking squares of 25" x 25" that figures out to $0.58 per sq ft.
I used that under an aboveground swimming pool. It was wonderful. I was able to put my pool on pavers and have a perfectly level pool with a comfortable bottom.
@@seanseoltoir I agree. Especially if the wheels are hard and narrow. Also, sliding heavy objects across these foam pads may not work out very well either, since I think the pads would probably buckle. In my case, I used foam mats for my shop, cabin, and play areas in the rec room, e.g., the dart board area. They are, of course, easy to set up, take up, and cut to size. Over the years, I have moved some of them from one space to another for various reasons. I've also noticed that production runs of the same product may vary slightly (maybe very slightly) in color (minor variations). It seemed to me the interlocking pattern was generally good from batch to batch, but I think I noticed some slight variation -- but no problem as a practical matter. Another point is that like the original Ford Model T's, you can get these foam mats in any color you like, as long as it's grey.
I can't stand leaving my shop floor a mess after sawing and sanding wood all day. I use an inexpensive leaf blower to blow all the sawdust and fine dust out the door and into the grass in my yard. I'm a first-time viewer, enjoyed the video, I subscribed. Big thumbs up.
They need a whole house fan with enough muscle to blow out the entire house. Easy way to get rid of those silly throw pillows, doilies, dried flowers and other crap the wife brings in.
This is just an idea for you next time, I purchased some indoor outdoor square carpet tiles like those & I love it no glue cause the rubber on the outside bottom keeps it from moving, plus if my doggies have an accident I just pull the soiled square piece up wash with baking soda, little soap hose it off let dry & I'm good to go. I've had mine now for 5 years in my garage, no more cold feet when I walk out to my garage barefooted. Best part was I got the carpet tiles at my Dollar Tree for 1.25 each✝☮✝
This man 😅 2:23 has a great sense of humor and passion for what he is does that's why I love watching him ❤ and he does things a little cheaper than what it would really cost tks for sharing your talents 😀
It was refreshing to see common household utilities being used in a shop like environment. Of course there are advantages to using a shopvac, but this video shows that other common human stuff still gets the job done. 😂🎉❤
I don't have wall to wall carpet in my shop, but I do have several carpet runners (usually the ones my wife says are too old for the house, but c'mon woman... they're totally fine!). I like them around my reloading station, sink, and assembly tables... all to help keep dropped items from being damaged by the concrete floor as well as stopping dropped items from skittering out of sight. I have found that using a cheap leaf blower makes really quick work of most floor debris, including the carpet runners.
@seanseoltoir They don't get vacuumed. They are low pile, so they get blown off or thrown in the washer. I don't think the beater bar on a vacuum has the oomph to set off a primer. But yeah, could get interesting
I bought a little higher quality version of this from the big orange company and used them in my enclosed patio. They look great, all were cut perfect and easy to vacuum. Got a roomba just for the patio and it keeps it clean.
Hey Hax - Great video. Thanks to Kim for helping out. The real reason you bought the cheap, crap floor tiles is you spent too much money and bought a Dyson vac. Thumbs up from Iowa.
I think I would be worried about that Squatch that was peaking out to say hi @7:11 tearing up those tiles. 😂 Still a good idea. Nice and cheap. Maybe I could lay something like that in my laundry room.
Nice work I like polished concrete, since some homes flood it is easy to clean up without having to rip it up and replacing it with something else. Great video
Perfect timing. Just re-floored my granddaughter's bedroom but had to leave the old flooring in the closet. Put a transition strip across the joint, and planning on using super thin, super cheap peel-and-stick carpet tiles that won't need to hold up to traffic and wear and tear (purely aesthetic), so these will fit the bill. And being so thin and cheap, it should be easy to trim around the closet organizer standards. Thanks, Haxman! P.S. I just found some for $0.71/sq.ft.!
Not exactly... There will be a specification written and any companies will need to meet that specification... And quite possibly the lowest bidder will get the contract... And there is a good chance that it won't be as good as something that is COTS, but you know that it meets the specifications... Well, assuming no bribery or whatever occurred during the procurement process...
Great review! I was thinking about doing the exact thing to my garage floor after watching your video and now I am definitely going to. Also, that’s the thiccest Maligator I’ve ever seen. Lol
I started using vinyl flooring in the shop/garage. You can usually find it for cheap at flooring shops as leftover or discontinued stock. I just lay it and forget it. No glue, no tape. It cleans up well and if light colored enough, easy to find dropped small parts.
I installed a Porcelain Floor tile in my garage that I pull two cars onto nightly. I purchased the tile at a tile store not a box store and specified what the application was. It’s been 5 years now, still looks like new (after a quick washing). My wife and I both walk barefoot in it whenever we want to. I use a hand held blower or shop back on it every few days. It’s the only way to go.
That would be a major headache for me, I wrench in the garage, I drop tools, I use hammers, I knock stuff around and bounces off the floor 😂 it's my workshop, my paint area, my welding area, and my man cave area. I'll pass on the tile. 😅
When I wanted to epoxy my floor a friend suggested tile and I said the same thing you said to me. He said most car dealers have tile in their workshops, they drop tools all the time. He runs the truck repair shop at an arsenal so I went with his suggestion. Just saying 😮
@@hardkore360 actually, when properly installed to concrete, you can't break porcelain tile with a hammer. I've tried. I hammered the shit out of the tile when I was trying to remove it for renovation, and it wouldn't break.
Love to see creative ideas. For rolling storage I bought two construction scaffold sets on wheels and made two additional shelves. Being open and stacked with totes they’re not as neat looking as yours though.
I gotta say Haxman, I'm really liking your videos this last few weeks. You're funny, real and really funny.bi like this idea too because I have been working on converting my garage into a workshop. I don't use it to park cars, but for different reasons. I'm legally blind and my Dad has dementia and can't drive anymore, so bicycles are what I park in it. I have a shed with seven bikes and my main ride goes in the garage. But I want to upgrade the floor. I don't like the crap with the bits of plastic set into...I guess epoxy. I don't want any sprayed floor of any kind. I've thought about marking spaces with glow in the dark grip tape and carpet fragments taken from carpet store dumpsters, paint, and even those foam tiles you see in child care places. None of it seems all that great. This is a great idea. Not just for budgeting but also the easy cleaning, easy set-up, the comfort and the look. Thanks man....hey call me Thanxman. LoL 😂 I'm going to see what Amazon has!
Looks great while it's clean. I am a retired art instructor who hasn't retired. That means i have paintings , sculpture, and various wood projects going at one time , 24/7. The floors are tortured regularly. I have to say your clean-up looked like a lot of effort even with a decent vacuum cleaner. A concrete floor is my best option for easy cleaning whether wet or dry-and spilt paints are usually a daily thing lol. Id definitely go with what you used (cheaper the better) if i could because it looks great and makes the shopp look like a comfortable work space. You just need a nice recliner in the corner while you ponder and brainstorm your next venture (with a nice bourbon of course )😉
The previous owners did me the favor of painting my garage floor with the spatter paint look. I am sure they covered up any amount of oil stains, it is easier to keep clean than bare concrete, and literally keeps the garage cooler in the summer heat of the Sandhills of NC.
Havoc is a good boy! Nice training!! I'd put those tiles in no problem. I tend to work very neatly (guitar repair) and I don't have a Havoc to be concerned about... so these would work just fine, I'm sure. Thanks for the info!!
Regarding Dyson out of battery:: - I modded my Dyson to take Dewalt batteries, also works with other battery brands. I can vacuum all I want and then simply swap out batteries if I run out of juice. Might want to look into it (very affordable mod).
Felt like it was 20 years ago watching Blue's Clues with my son: "There's a monster right there!!! In the slidy-closet thing!" Great video, as always, good sir!🍺
I used recycled office carpet tiles for my garage, plenty left over to replace the odd stained one. It’s foam backed so adds some extra insulation. I only keep motorbikes in the garage so no heavy traffic. Been down a year now and all good.
I went with Marine carpet from Amazon. It's rubber backed and the too is like an office style carpet on top. Works to cut down the old temp of concrete and looks decent for half the cost of a garage carpet
I like the thick vinyl race decking tiles. they are for sure more expensive but they look so good. I have been keeping an eye out for some used ones on Offerup or marketplace.
I used these for my cat to climb on top of a wood half wall. they are easy to peel and stick and replace when she tears them up. I never thought of putting these on a floor lol
I laughed out loud when you said how often the dogs shed. I bought some carpet tiles for my shop/garage from Menards. I don’t remember how cheap they were. But cheap enough for me to lay them down on my half of the garage. They are considerably thicker than the ones you bought. They don’t have any adhesive backing so I had to use carpet tape, which is a nightmare to use to try and remove the paper backing from it. But they’re staying in place and haven’t lifted up or gotten frayed.
holy crap i love those dogs. my roommate in college had a mal.. smartest dogs in the world.. his could climb a wall, or climb up a fire hydrant and sit on top of it.. and wait.. best dog ever..
Cement is always shedding dust so covering it is worthwhile idea. When I moved in (1990) I painted the entire floor with Varathane and put carpet squares in all the perimeter walking areas. It works great even in winter. (I did seal the carpet edge by the parking edge) with butyl rubber caulk (now I'd use Lexel)).
Like the carpet, we use the same type in high-rise. We had green and we had tan and it worked out beautifully. You don’t shampoo it with a machine it keeps the moisture in the cement which I found my metal cabinets were resting on the floor, so I had to put wood underneath them
Hell yea loved seeing the dog tricks at the end. I trained my little chihuahua a little bit not as advanced as that but she can jump and stuff it was cool seeing the tricks though Mr haxman!!
I think a big problem with this (besides the obvious if you actually drive cars onto it), is metal shavings. I randomly have to cut metal and the shavings get into EVERYTHING. hell even my concrete floors have it after sweeping twice. Wood/hair may come out, metal will prob really stick in there then just make a permanent home. In a studio this might be okay, but certainly not for a car person's garage. Thanks for the review!
Well.... those tiles could be amazing for wall application as sound dampening system.... maybe behind some fancy wood vertical/horizontal latte... Would you be able/want to discose were you got the carpet?
General rule with pressure type adhesive, use slow speed when removing backing or dettaching, same is true of decals and tape. And of course slight warm temp is helpfull.
I sometimes look at the hair in my house (I vacuum daily) and wonder how this Shepherd still has any hair left! I can sympathize with that issue. Great dog, regardless. You should see my truck though. Heh.

- I modded my Dyson to take Dewalt batteries, also works with other battery brands. I can vacuum all I want and then simply swap out batteries if I run out of juice. Might want to look into it (very affordable mod).
I tried to do that with our old vacuum and couldn’t make it work with that model.
I was more interested in the lights / ceiling layout...caught a glimpse of it
Awesome dogs! I have a Belgian and a Golden Retriever.
Thanks. If anyone was looking for a dumb thing to do, this is it. Maybe dumb videos are smart because I watched it to the end.
Honestly between you and stumpy nubs, I'm putting carpet down. Appreciate the update video brother.
Be careful Jacob. I tend to think of my videos as cautionary tales. 😄
Thanks Jeff Bridges. You're the dewd!
Felt like it was 20 years ago watching Blue's Clues with my son:
"There's a monster right there!!! In the slidy-closet thing!"
Great video, as always, good sir!🍺
I used recycled office carpet tiles for my garage, plenty left over to replace the odd stained one. It’s foam backed so adds some extra insulation. I only keep motorbikes in the garage so no heavy traffic. Been down a year now and all good.
Love your interaction with your dogs. I don't think you can deinstinct digging?
I love the ceiling lights. Where do you purchase those? Great video.
Hex glow. Thank you!
I went with Marine carpet from Amazon. It's rubber backed and the too is like an office style carpet on top. Works to cut down the old temp of concrete and looks decent for half the cost of a garage carpet
I like the thick vinyl race decking tiles. they are for sure more expensive but they look so good. I have been keeping an eye out for some used ones on Offerup or marketplace.
I used these for my cat to climb on top of a wood half wall. they are easy to peel and stick and replace when she tears them up. I never thought of putting these on a floor lol
Harry Boogers peeking out in the costume was the chef kiss on this vid!
I laughed out loud when you said how often the dogs shed. I bought some carpet tiles for my shop/garage from Menards. I don’t remember how cheap they were. But cheap enough for me to lay them down on my half of the garage. They are considerably thicker than the ones you bought. They don’t have any adhesive backing so I had to use carpet tape, which is a nightmare to use to try and remove the paper backing from it. But they’re staying in place and haven’t lifted up or gotten frayed.
Lol. Good video and you have good humor
you're so good, you even made a carpet tile video interesting!
Thank you so much!
holy crap i love those dogs. my roommate in college had a mal.. smartest dogs in the world.. his could climb a wall, or climb up a fire hydrant and sit on top of it.. and wait.. best dog ever..
Any video that starts with "only an idiot would buy this" is instantly must watch tv.
😄
And then he changed the thumbnail?
Got a sub for the "doll hairs." See, you never know
I love the checker look, specially in kitchens…lol. go buy an industrial vacuum, or wet and dry…there pretty good….
Cement is always shedding dust so covering it is worthwhile idea.
When I moved in (1990) I painted the entire floor with Varathane and put carpet squares in all the perimeter walking areas. It works great even in winter. (I did seal the carpet edge by the parking edge) with butyl rubber caulk (now I'd use Lexel)).
Like the carpet, we use the same type in high-rise. We had green and we had tan and it worked out beautifully. You don’t shampoo it with a machine it keeps the moisture in the cement which I found my metal cabinets were resting on the floor, so I had to put wood underneath them
The dogs are great!
Hell yea loved seeing the dog tricks at the end. I trained my little chihuahua a little bit not as advanced as that but she can jump and stuff it was cool seeing the tricks though Mr haxman!!
That's awesome!
Wondering how it would stand up to a burn-out? Please demonstrate for us! :) ;)
I think a big problem with this (besides the obvious if you actually drive cars onto it), is metal shavings. I randomly have to cut metal and the shavings get into EVERYTHING. hell even my concrete floors have it after sweeping twice. Wood/hair may come out, metal will prob really stick in there then just make a permanent home. In a studio this might be okay, but certainly not for a car person's garage. Thanks for the review!
Nice video, thanks :)
Well.... those tiles could be amazing for wall application as sound dampening system.... maybe behind some fancy wood vertical/horizontal latte... Would you be able/want to discose were you got the carpet?
General rule with pressure type adhesive, use slow speed when removing backing or dettaching, same is true of decals and tape. And of course slight warm temp is helpfull.
I sometimes look at the hair in my house (I vacuum daily) and wonder how this Shepherd still has any hair left! I can sympathize with that issue. Great dog, regardless. You should see my truck though. Heh.
Just subscribed because of your booger vault under the table top😀. Very funny
