Dads are always the heroes we all need to complete our home projects. Details, tips and talking over when we need it the most. Love to see it as it happens to me too. Awesome job!!!
You're so lucky that your Dad is cool & supportive enough to come work his tail off with you. Hope you let him know how much you love & appreciate him.
Gotta just invest in a full face mask and start using p100 filters for everything that requires a respirator. Protects your eyes and prevents you from breathing in almost anything, including gases and particles around 1 micron in size.
I am so glad to see someone use that concrete tool. I saw it online back at the beginning of winter in 2019. I had every intention on renting it in the spring of 2020. As you know the world had other things planned. If the temperatures stay like they are here right now I might not even need to wait until spring. Normally we have real harsh winters with freezing temperatures ice storms and a good amount of snow. So far this winter's been pretty mild. The only thing I need to worry about is what temperature that I can use the paint in. I'm going to give the one that you bought a try. Years ago when I fixed up my garage I used a different product that did not even hold up over a year. Even a drop of oil or gasoline would remove the paint. After watching your success with the paint you use I'm looking forward to trying it.
I have never seen your channel before now, i was looking at garage videos and it led me here, your merch promo vid was clean AF and always happy to see people pushing the wearing of safety gear!!
They sell a machine especially for the edge. If you wanted the brightest garage you should have painted the ceiling white. All that work, you should have used a specific floor epoxy, made specifically to prevent tire paint pickup.
@@getstuk87 car tires get hot while driving so when the car comes home and is parked, that heat can cause the coating to lift....I was researching garage floor paintings/covering and saw others that it did happen to....
I really enjoyed watching this video Cameron, I really enjoyed sharing the Journey with you, I appreciate you taking me for the ride. It allowed me to paint such a vision for my own garage one day. A really feel good video brother.
Hands down the best AD I’ve watched with all the smooth transitions and cuts. Also the drop was fire as I told you before. And the garage is straight dreams 💦
Nice work! Word of advice on the garage door. Make sure the spring is rated for the extra weight for the insulation. I had a spring break on mine because the previous owner used a weak spring on my insulated garage door.
Sams club carries linkable LED shop lights. You can put 4 on an outlet / circuit I believe. They are LED so you might be able to stick a few on the same circuit but different outlets. Makes a world of difference. Floor maintainers with a carbide scraper are a workout. Especially when removing thinset I use a respirator rated for MEK which is the worst stuff you will come across Baseboards and crown molding are Fun. Caulk and paint makes me the carpenter I ain’t.
I hope and pray I can someday make TH-cam my full time job and build a garage like this and just work on cars all day. You’re my inspiration man! Keep doing what your doing! Much love🤎
I watch this then go and stand in my garage, which looks like a scene from Horders. No idea where the hell to start, it's actually my father-in-laws garage which I'm taking over. Your video is still encouraging!
that spray foam job was brutal !!! lol..... " guy coming in to spray insulation in, we are going 4" thick " ..... looks like its 10-12" thick hahah I had mine done the exact same way, in almost the exact same circumstance..... You could barely tell they were there to do the job. They left a tiny bit of over spray on some of the rafters. They dude just straight up COVERED everything haha
Hi Cameron, My garage's roof and front 1/3rd burned in a fire a few months ago, I am currently rebuilding it. You just inspired me to put some extra effort and money and try to make it a showroom-style garage too. Yours looks beautiful, congrats! And thank you :)
Looks great Cameron, just some advice from a lighting professional with 23 years of experience: Since you're going to use the shop as a professional workspace you will want about 50 foot candles of light at 5,000 kelvin white with a CRI of 90 or better. Your current lighting in your shop is about 8fc! From the looks of the space you could use twelve 2x2 led panels in a 3 x 4 layout. Each panel produces about 4000 lumens and cost around $50 each. You can check out the AcuityBrands visual lighting interior tool to help you with different fixtures, dimensions, and layout.
Chris if I may ask for the rest of the home, to have a modern, yet not-too-industrial feel, what do you recommend the Kelvin temps be for the following rooms: living room, dining room kitchen, bedrooms, master bathrooms, foyers/common hallways, and finished basements? Thanks a ton!!
Brother, I haven’t your channel in a few months and WOW. Your content is A1!!! Your production is sick. Keep up the work, man. You truly are inspiring.
I’m moving from dtphx to uptown Phoenix... gotta build a garage from scratch. Great info! Cracking up watching since I’ll be tackling a lot of the same messy ass work.
We started using Xylene at a factory I worked at for the paint process. Actually the fire department in the city wasn't too happy about it! Xylene is very dangerous... we had to keep it stored in a blast container far away from the factory. Apparently if water falls into it, there is a reaction and it can explode. Extremely reactive. We were told that if there is ever an event in the plant with the Xylene, If there's some fire with Xylene being inside, we have to evacuate far away... Even homes anywhere close to the factory would also have to be evacuated by the fire department due to the fumes!! They were pointing to houses seriously far away! I'd have to drive away at least 1 mile minimum to be kinda safe. Crazy stuff!! We had drums of it but only drop by drop was added to the primer. It was for transport truck springs. Even after curing in the ovens and over into assembly... the stuff had a weird smell! I understand what he's saying!!
Remember that the youtuber can not choose whether to disable mid roll ads, he also can't choose how many ads appear during playthrough. So pls don't be salty.
@@nerfmaster33 Yes, you can choose to turn Mid Roll ads off, TH-cam is getting worse than watching TV. The mid roll ads are going to kill the platform.

*_GREAT JOB._* I also live in phoenix and this is the inspiration for my garage-to-woodshop remodel this April. I need to get the electrical done first.
Really informative. I'm looking at finishing out my new garage; probably late this year. Great details, many thanks. Think about adding Wi-Fi, and you need at least one main killer bench. Put the table height on the bench fairly high, and bright lighting onto your bench is important. Think about having vents across your across; you'll need it on some projects. Great work- thank you for posting these!
A ton of work but you guys killed it, looks awesome! Discount door and trim is such a great place, that’s where I got all new baseboards and door trim for my entire house!
Well said, STAY POSITIVE. Excellent work, your destiny for greatness. I'm taking your advice and starting buying materials for my garage now, but I don't know if it's a good time to do it now that its getting cold. Nice Garage, STAYUP!!!
You can adjust the springs on the door so that it is more balanced and not "heavy" it will also save your garage door opener from work so hard opening and closing with all the added weight. It looks like you already have double springs for the door so that good.
My dad broke my garage door and just walked away. He didn't even stick around to help me temporarily get it closed until a repairman could work on it. Yeah, your dad is a gem for sure. You're very blessed to have him.
Lots of hard work. Amazing Dad and relationship you have there. What is with the 466 hate? Maybe they didn't like the commercials, wasn't too bad. Great job, enjoyed watching it.
Someone may have already mentioned this, or you may have learned it elsewhere but the door being heavier can be counteracted by tightening the spring tension. It should be tightened to a point where when the opener is disconnected, you can lift the garage door about 3/4 open and it holds at that height on it's own. This will put much less force on your garage door opener in the end.
Shoes dude. And you're probably supposed to change your garage door springs. If the door feels heavy without the opener you'll possibly burn your opener out. Shop looks rad! Noice job!
The reason the garage door is heavy is the springs are sized appropriately to the size and weight of the door. You will destroy the opener and the springs will break way sooner than normal. I recommend getting a professional to come out price you a fully insulated steel back door. You've done all that work and your door has an R value of about 4. You have a tin can covering a 16' hole in your wall. Go with a door that has a r value of about 17 and you'll really feel the difference
CAMERON, NEXT TIME YOU DO CONCRETE GRINDING, USE A HOSE AND WATER IT WILL HELP KEEP THE DUST DOWN, AND YOU CAN SQUEEGEE THE DIRTY WATER RIGHT OUT OF THE GARAGE DOOR. I KNOW YOU KNOW, THAT DUST CAN REALLY AFFECT YOU LONGTERM, EVEN ONLY EXPOSURE A FEW TIMES. LOOKS GREAT BROTHER!
For those doing their own floor, be careful. Some kits require a specific temperature and humidity range to apply and cure. You'll be tempted to close the garage door(s) to keep those conditions, but you are also sealing in the fumes. The fumes can cause real health issues while working in the garage, and even permeate into the house, lasting for days. My floor turned out great, but just use caution.
Haaaay Cameron nice job on the garage looks great. Alford senior is a natural handy man. 💁🏻♂️ Enjoyed the video and will be checking out the others. Congrats Man! 😎
Thank you for including all the details we would've wanted to see, I love long-form videos like this. Also, white floors were the best choice. How are they holding up?
Love that matte black ceiling. My garage is unfinished, seemingly common in my area. So I'm going to finish it out soon but not sure I wanted to dry wall the ceiling. This looks really clean. Maybe insulated it first and paint over it like you have done...it gets cold here in Colorado. I feel for that dude applying that in the Arizona heat having to wear that suit though.
Hey man, did you end up doing that? I live in Colorado as well and just got my first home (CO Native) but I also did not like the idea of putting drywall on the ceiling. I really enjoy the open space and tall feeling it has, so I am really digging this idea, I would not have thought about foam insulation and just painting it over. It gives it such a clean look.

You're so lucky that your Dad is cool & supportive enough to come work his tail off with you. Hope you let him know how much you love & appreciate him.
Wholesome asf
Looks so good! For future safety, wear a mask when doing any type of concrete work. Silica particles are actually super dangerous!
As a osha guy I agree
You can go ahead and add closed toe boots, gloves and safety goggles to the list...
Gotta just invest in a full face mask and start using p100 filters for everything that requires a respirator.
Protects your eyes and prevents you from breathing in almost anything, including gases and particles around 1 micron in size.
Was thinking the same, i'd get chewed out at work for using a Hilti without a respirator let alone grinding a whole floor.
loved the flip flop while using the floor maintainer!
So nice to see a father and son project. Dads are the best!
It’s awesome how supportive your Dad is! I try hard to be that awesome for my kids too! 🙌🏼
“This is going to shred absolutely anything”, proceeds to use it with flip flops 😂😂
i was cringing.... but i guess if he didnt get it on himself whats the deal. lol
Rainbows are a requirement for Arizona...
As soon as he said that I knew he was in sandals. and then up'ed it by throwing paint stripper 😂😂😂😂
@@joshuaedwards5234 and then flipflops brushing the hydrochloric acid in, while the concrete is fizzing lol. Man's got soles of steel
Awesome Job Love the White color!
Super cool that you have such a cool dad to help you with this. You'll have those memories forever. Congratulations looks awesome.

All that work, you should have used a specific floor epoxy, made specifically to prevent tire paint pickup.
for the edge of what? Also, do you think this garage is going to pick up a lot of tire marks from equipment and cars?
@@getstuk87 car tires get hot while driving so when the car comes home and is parked, that heat can cause the coating to lift....I was researching garage floor paintings/covering and saw others that it did happen to....

Fantastic job on the walls, ceiling and floor...good takeaways for anyone attempting such.
I’m a paint supervisor at my local Home Depot. And really cool to see you using our new product. Hope you enjoy it
Nice work! Word of advice on the garage door. Make sure the spring is rated for the extra weight for the insulation. I had a spring break on mine because the previous owner used a weak spring on my insulated garage door.
He is right, I work for a garage company and adding weight to the door will affect the springs most likely gonna have to go a size up
This information is super interesting. I want to express my personal appreciation for the time and work you invested in producing it. Thanks so much!
the difference a little bit of paint & working on the details makes is amazing

HARD WORK PAYS OFF
Who else got nervous when they saw he was using the “floor shredder” in flip flops😂
lil sketch but when it’s 120 outside the flops are the moveee
Cameron Alford fair enough😂
and no mask for concrete dust.
You’re definitely American. That’s all I wear outside of work
Tasman McMillan no idea what being American has to do with safety
Not gonna lie, best garage I have seen on TH-cam.
That CarmaSpeed edit was sick!
Lot's of hard work mate, well done, credit to you and the team.

SO SATISFYING!
God speed to you man doing this in the arizona summer
I'd recommend Rockwool insulation as it provides a noise dampening effect, and is the least susceptible to fire (important in a garage).
Brother, I haven’t your channel in a few months and WOW. Your content is A1!!! Your production is sick. Keep up the work, man. You truly are inspiring.
My mind was blown through that carma edit! Super sick. Looking forward to building a garage like this one day. 🙏🏻

It's not only about having a respirator on but to have the proper filters installed for the job at hand.
