Firstly I just want to say WELCOME to the 100+ new Patrons! Thank you so much for the support!

Secondly, I had hoped to have a video for ya’ll by now but it turns out, cleaning 17 years of grease and grim out of a shop is more difficult than it seems. I had originally hoped we would be able to just power wash the floor with some degreaser, acid etch it, and then lay the epoxy. But no amount of degreaser and pressure washing would remove the grease.

Today we rented a concrete grinder and got to work! If you can’t wash the grease off, grind it off! Although this has added a few days work, and a few hundred dollars of extra cost, it’ll be well worth it in the end.

I’m making this shop PERFECT! Hope to have the video out for ya’ll by Friday.

Damn looking good

Hell ya son!!! This place gonna look fucking mint!

I have done the concrete grinding. A helpful hint is to add weight to the top of it, gives it more bite and will take much less time. Water can be helpful to keep dust down. Large squeegee is a must!

It is already a night and day difference for the whole shop. Really really nice so take the time you need, and enjoy it for much longer

You'll be way better off in the long run... just an acid etch and there's a good chance the epoxy would be coming back off wayyy too soon.

Evan Kirschenmann

quality > speed. whatever you do now will last you either the entire time you're at the shop, or until you end up doing it again. do it nice or do it twice

austin dubiel

Honestly looks 100 times better already

Brandon Durbin

Now that’s some work. At least you’re doing it right! It’s some added insurance to that epoxy and it’ll last even longer this way. So proud of you!

Daniel Deutschen

Already looking SO much better. Once you get the epoxy down and painted the walls, this place will look awesome! Also, filming with so many lights and so clean of a shop will be well worth it. Keep it going Caleb! Been subscribed for years and never for one moment thought about unsubscribing.

Giovanny Guigou

I really thought you painted the floors white until I read the description, already looking way better than before

Meemen

Looks awesome dude, it's gonna be so good when it's done.

Kaloka

Many before me have already said this but wow the difference is huge

TickleMeElmo

Daniel Salyer

Man what a difference already! Its gonna be night and day after epoxy and some paint.

Chris Copeland

I’m so pumped to see how this turns out! Looking forward to epic many epic builds to come.

Travis Stingley

I’m new to the patreon I just watched your shop video and divided why not be a patreon looks really good compared to how it did I was thinking tho are the walls insulated because if not it won’t be ver cost efficient to heat and especially cool that place in the summer it’d cost an arm and a leg just curious but seriously congrats on the shop some day hope to see you build your self a big shop of your own

Tommy Johnson

Talk about sweat equity! Can’t wait to see this dingy shop transform

Glenn9K

So glad to hear that more people are joining the Patron squad. And yes, great decision to add those extra days of work. Prep work is everything!

S shiggy Y

Kaleb Tritt

That's gotta be satisfying as hell lol

Jean-Louis LP

it amazes me but also mskes me so happy the level of support this community has. Since the announcement of your shop to now, you've gained over 200 patreons and more and more comments on videos. Can't wait to see how this pans out, excited for the new content.

One other thing, Should start looking into sponserships, tools, equipment, tyres, parts, etc. It might be a struggle at first but start getting yourself out there.

When you go to clean the beams and ceiling try dry ice. It works.
