Hopefully this was worth the wait!

Happy to be done with the video and very excited to move onto the next steps of the overhaul! I'll be sure to keep you guys updated as I make progress :)

Converting a 1950's Garage into a Modern Workshop - Part 1

Great episode Ronnie, garage looks great, excited to see a lift in there soon!!

Ronald Finger

I probably won't have a lift in it for a while! The Datsun is more than likely going to be on a rotisserie since I really don't like the idea of welding on new frame rails from below haha

Stuart Kay

Whatever you guys decide to do I know it'll be great fun to come along for the journey either way. Keep up the hard work, we all appreciate you

Calvin Jilek

I'm stoked to see this unfold! I love project vehicles, but I also love the projects that house those projects.

Are you going to tear down the pole barn. That seems like a threat to the remaining structures.

Alec Hash

Planning on doing any drywall in the garage?

Ronald Finger

Plywood! The tongue and groove boards on the outside aren’t doing anything for shear strength, so the whole building rattles in the wind. Plywood across every wall should stiffen it up, plus make it so I don’t have to find a stud to hang stuff :)

Ronald Finger

Yeah that’s the plan! But anytime soon? No haha

Papa Bogey

Graphics and animations are on point. Question forever left unanswered - why didn’t that place burn to the ground due to an electrical fire? Helpful home owner suggestion - measure height of pole barn and mark out “splash zone” of debris field when it collapses. Do not park anything of value within this zone.

David Block

I'm still laughing at the Will Smith slap! HA!

Haakon Hirt

Weirdly enough, I think I’m gonna enjoy this series more than the Fiero. Something about fixing up an old place is just deeply satisfying.

Joseph Piarulli

Are you going to buy a bendpak lift and would you consider doing insulation to help protect yourself from extreme heat seeing the heat exhaustion expression on your face?

Jon Wagner

I enjoyed the animations!

Chris Crujedo

So awesome! Always fun to see what kinds of yolo electrical work people have done in the past. I'm glad you survived! ⚡

Ronald Finger

I might just steal the lift from my parents’ place haha. But yeah, insulation is a must!

Ronald Finger

No idea! But I’m glad it didn’t :) funnily enough though, I have about three future projects parked in the pole barn right now haha

David Block

I was hoping you would figure out how to solve the frame rail rust issue, a rotisserie is a great solution. Note: Removal/installation of the center console is difficult and time consuming, but don't give up.

Greg Winfield

enjoyed that. with the other barn with the posts so badly rotted, go rent yourself an acro-prop, use it to support the bottom of the truss and replace each one of the posts one at a time. i'd replace them with galvanised steel C channel so no termite issues ever.

Christopher Newman

Seen the Christopher neverman name above mine and it caught me off gaurd.

Joseph Piarulli

I rewatched the video, when you do get around to rerunning 6 AWG ground wire to the sub panel, I'd suggest solid vs stranded wire, less chance of it coming apart when you tack it into place on the ground rod & panel.

Great Joe

I beg of you, once this thing is structurally sound, get some insulation in there. You'll save both on electricity and equipment size on your AC. Stone wool might not be common there but it's a great heat insulator and it comes with the added benefit of not being flammable.

Chuck Millirons

I'm shocked this entire house/barn/garage didn't burn up long before you were even born, Ronnie!

Svein Ove Drivenes

Maybe get one of those cheap chinese diesel heaters for winter :D Heard great things on tiktok :P
