Larry - We spoke on the phone this morning. The garage renovation is spectacular to say the least. It seems you have attention to detail in every aspect of your life... That's hard to find these days. Don't ever lose that quality. Much love, from California.
If you don't mind, how much did they charge to put in the steel beams??? AKA at about $1600 a pop for fixing your fender when you hit that damn pole...........how many times can I hit it before buying the steel would be cheaper???? LOL Who puts a damn pole in the middle of a garage, right where you open the driver door????
You're constantly saying'this is like a dream for me' and get somewhat ashamed of getting so excited about something, but is definitely any car enthousiast's garage of dreams right there. You worked long and hard for it and I can only say I hope to achieve something alike some day too. Those lights are incredible, it looks like daytime in there :o
Being en electrician I have been installing lots of LED recently and I would't recommend It for a detailer they're to directional. T8 to Led there is almost no energy savings actually the last fixtures we changed the LED's consumed more then the T8, the led were brighter taught.
I bought my house pretty much because of the garage. Previous owner was a retired electrician in his late 70s. Every room in the house has a minimum of four 4 receptical outlets... at knee height (handicapped height) so at 33 I'll never have to worry about my back going out getting down on the floor to plug something in. Buy in the garage.... he went nuts. 6 fluorescent light fixtures, 2 ceiling fans, natural gas heater, and those same 4 receptical outlets...... but 4 on each wall spaced about 4-6 feet apart. 2 above the bench alone. That's 8 things I can have plugged in just at my bench. Then there is a 4 receptical outlet on the ceiling to plug in a work light or whatever else you want to plug in on the ceiling. He had a work light which he had attached to a retractable reel extension cord. Point is...... between the house and garage I can probably have 300 things plugged into the wall.... and not need a power strip. I have the power. Top it off..... his son is a plumber and installed pressure assisted toilets. So every time I flush it's like flushing an airplane toilet.
@@Vanabond Easy decision for the business owner, but it's hard as a worker, to get stuff done with someone recording over your shoulder. Even if you normally do a great job, the added stress of having someone right over your shoulder can be challenging.
They’re also being recorded for very short periods relative to how long they must have been working. I’m sure they don’t mind being on film for a few moments to showcase their skills.
He said he wanted to do it right. You blew doing it right, clear out of the picture and went immaculate with your garage! And by the way, this video is so well done. Your attention to detail is off the charts, I love it and can't wait to see more!
im a detailer have been for 22yrs. i thank you for your point of view, you are a great detailer with out a doubt. you know you changed to detailer today. thanks i always clean up after those trailer queen retailers. they needed you bad.
Don't get me wrong, Larry's garage looks awesome! I think if he had more space, he probably would've put a drain in. I'd want a pole barn so that I could have a designated "washing" area so that none of the other vehicles would get wet.
Yes, that would be a disaster. It would be best to try and keep the wash area contained (by walls) so that any accidents wouldn't cause much damage, and so that the water would simply run out through the drain. As anyone can tell, something like this would cost a lot of money in the first place.
Nick Berger might not be a big problem if it's heated and has good insulation. But if leaks or tank rots and makes a hole it will just take 1 time for anything. but it would have been worth it to do before the floor. then they could of fixed cracks then. but I just hope it doesn't. they do make a container that the water tanks sit in bit you have to route the piping outside. and that doesn't cover if a pipe leaks
Larry is my sports team, when he wins I honestly feel true pride . I am a true dedicated fan of Ammo and all Larry has done for us, as many of us feel. Watching this video again as time has gone by I still feel excited to see all his hard work and passion take care of him and his family. Love ya brotha, can never thank you enough.
I am so happy for you. I just started my Auto Detail company so I know how important is to have a garage to work on. Especially, in the winter time. I was about to invest in a garage, but after watching your video I am going to invest on my home garage to make more space instead. Thank you for making this video. Best of luck in everything you do.
Larry, I'm forever green with envy of your new extremely nice garage/shop area. The floor is amazing, the compressor to die for, and the cabinets and work bench surface are perfect. I can only hope to have a set up like this one day! Cheers from Oklahoma.... enjoy the dream garage!!
Really nice garage I'm sure it's going to be fun to work in there. Don't know if you did it but when I install big compressors like that I usually suggest installing an automatic draining valve. It prevents your compressor filling with water and helps the air filter/dryer.
I have to tell you man, I've watched tons and tons of videos on UA-cam, to some of the most well known youtubers out there. I must say, you have easily become one of my favorites within the past week! You explain things so well and really have passion for what you are talking about! Thanks for the awesome videos!! Keep it up!
Nice work, thanks for sharing. Nice to see Obsessed Garage help on this project as I follow him too. Good work from all your vendors. Keep up the good work!
Just stumbled across this one.....man Larry it is totally obvious how genuinely happy you are. That's a great shop man...that's about as much space as i have currently. Congrats! Very inspiring!
hah,gotta correct you there mate, its an expensive man cave :D a gaming cave is much cheaper,so hey some have to compensate,right? :D would love a garage like that .
16:24 You can tell how excited Larry is to have it all done--on the verge of giddy. I can only imagine how I'd feel, and I am sure I would react the same way. I recently graduate college have a great job and am looking forward to building something similar for my golf gear, hockey gear, and more importantly the car.
I didn't know the car cleaning business is this profitable! I'm amazed at the mount of stuff you put into your garage and your just cleaning the car! Had you been a mechanic i was have expected lifts for the car and robot's that do the work! But this is very cool and amazing when you see someone that loves what they do put in time and effort to get the best quality out of the products they make and produce.
From the floors, to the workbench, to the Porsche. WOW! Definitely want to get out of an apartment and get a house. A garage would be great to do detailing/maintenance/projects.
Larry I have to say, I watched your video and I'm so glad to be glad for somebody that has really done a nice thing, your garage is fantastic, I love everything you've done, the Lally columns removal, outrageous, everything you've done, was outstanding, I wish you the best! I'm in the process of doing my garage right now and that's how I stumbled on your video, while looking at ModuLine's Pro series II Cabinets,I can't say enough about your work good luck brother!
@Ammo NYC thanks for the video, you helped me find a company that removes lolly columns. Lallygone was absolutely wonderful they gave me the garage I've wanted.
Mounting outside isn't always possible. Freezing temps, potential CCR's and just annoying your neighbors can force you to keep it inside. As he noted, it's got an 80 gallon tank, his use of pneumatic tools is limited so the compressor kicking on probably doesn't happen often.
Kudos to you bro,you finally get your dream garage,you earned it man,you have worked very hard to get it. It must be nice to have a garage like that lol. Can't wait to see your videos from there!! I love your eye for detail and your dedication.
Fantastic detailing garage. This is a dream I have, I have a passion for detailing and I’ve started my own car wash at the age of 13, since then I’ve fallen in love with detailing.
I don't see why people use those chips, you can't find sh!t when you drop something. Those floors are for guys who don't really do a lot of significant work on cars. Light gray with no chips 👍🏻
At first glance a problem.But I would lay a flashlight on the floor pointed towards a wall instead of pointing it down towards the floor. I've found many things with this technique. Even a contact lens.
I did decorative concrete floors for a number of years and they call that a color chip floor and i hate them for that reason, get an epoxy solid light color floor with epoxy sealer and will last years being able to spill even aviation fuel and not hurt it.
What is the issue with people. Why would 641 people put a thumb down. This is a good video. This man has worked hard and long to get where he is now. He wanted to share his new garage build with the world. I'm so happy for you. Love the new garage. Got some great ideas for my garage by watching yours.
You and Matt know each other? No surprise! +1 to +ObsessedGarage! Love these videos, it would be cool of you both to collaborate something someday. The best all under one roof!
What a great blessing you're going to enjoy. Congrats on your new garage/ shop. Your reality is way better than I can even dream of right now. Thank you for sharing and may God continue to Bless you and your family in 2019. Rodney
Just don't marry a dependopotomus. Find someone that lifts you up and doesn't drag you down. I'm better off with my wife in my life than without. No regrets.
It’s absolutely awesome to see your shotgun garage and now see you correcting paint on a GT3-RS! You’re doing very well, Larry! Will be happy to give you business with my new BMW!
I did a very similar thing as you however my veneration goes through HEPA filters & warms it slightly then inputs the air not expires the air- simply as my double doors had huge gaps ( which I made smaller ) so basically the air blows out through the smaller gaps, before this the garage was always thick with dust-dirt & also very damp, was more faffing about & slightly more expensive but it means I can park a car partially done ( washed & clayed) then the next day I can go back & have had nothing unfiltered coming in via gaps,beforehand I'd park a spotless car inside and & return to find dust etc blown through the bigger gaps into my garage ( plus dampness) so it ment having to do things again- now its not the case- that said I've had to use a leaf blower a few times to remove fine dust but I work and have plenty of high power fans n HEPA filters ( asbestos), was great to see you addressing ventilation as its a small thing overlooked by many, I actually have fitted extraction to garages for friends who have fitted out garages but didn't think of ventilation, wish icould of had your flooring though its amazing, I definitely have floor envy 🤣,great set up learned loads from you're uploads 👌
Awesome video. Question, I noticed you stored your products out there, but do you keep them out there even when the temps start dropping? I was wondering if it was ok to keep cleaning products out there in the temp swings, is it ok as long as they don't freeze, or should they be stored in a certain temp range? Thanks!
This is awesome Larry! I've been watching your vids for a while now as an Obsessed Garage member and was hoping you and Matt would have the chance to work together. Look forward to the podcast too!
Awesome build! My dad completed his ultimate dream garage last year. It had 3 four post lifts and a two post lift, a full bathroom, 5 double garage doors, one big enough for a boat, huge workbench and the same compressor you got here. It was 100 ft long and had 15 ft ceilings. It held 13 cars and had a metal lathe, a milling machine, drill press, engine hoists, metal brakes, 4 different welders etc. He had a stroke in the last year in the Spring and passed away from cancer in the Fall so he didn't get to use it. :'( Now I will be building my ultimate garage, but in a more modest 2 1/2 car space. He didn't do detailing, but I do so mine will probably look more like yours...but with one of his HotRods in it. :D
@@TheComputerwizzz There's just no way. Those two beams with install weren't more than $15K. The floors using what they appeared to be using couldn't have cost more than $10K installed. The cabinets were definitely pricey. I suspect everything worst-case scenario couldn't have been more than $35-40K.
@@Warkive - I'd have to agree. The dude was acting like his flooring was super special. It looks like your run of the mill epoxy or a polyaspartic coating. Only real difference he talked about was instead of acid etching the floor they used diamond grinders to essentially just sand the floor. Online they say for a 2 car garage a professional install of epoxy or polyaspartic coating shouldn't cost much more than $6/sqft. I have a 2.5 car garage like Larry. I don't know his dimensions, but mine are 23 feet and 4.5 inches wide by 27 feet and 3 inches long.... roughly (just measured to get an idea because I am currently looking to fix up my floor and stumbled on this video a few days ago). That's like roughly 640 sqft. Multiply that by 6 and you get $3,840. Let's say he overpaid, or that company overcharged for the "pro" experience of using diamond grinders instead of acid etching. Let's DOUBLE the cost. That's still far less than $10,000. If I had to guess.... $6-8,000 for the flooring. According to Home Advisor, having a steel beam installed costs anywhere between $1,200 and $4,700. HomeAdvisor cost breakdown: -The price of an engineer who views the site and plans to determine the proper size and strength of the metal beams needed, which costs $400-$600, on average for a project -The labor rate of the contractor or contractors who perform the installation, which takes about half a day per beam and costs around $200-$400 for each beam -The cost to deliver the beam and lift it into place (if this is not included in contractor pricing), which can cost from $600-$1,200 for labor and equipment rental per day to lift the beam into place. Not sure if Larry's install is considered 1 or 2 beams..... but let's go with two, just because HomeAdvisor hints at a single beam install taking half a day and Larry here says "at the beginning of the day I had a lally column and at the end of the day it was gone." So I'm taking that as it was a full day of work. So let's go with this being a 2 beam install.... which makes sense. Going on the high end of those HomeAdvisor estimates then that's $600 for a dude to come out and determine what you need. $800 for contractor labor. And then to have the beams delivered and lifted into place - $1200..... having to lift two beams I can't imagine it costing more....... but let's say it does and that costs $2,000 even. That's $3400. Let's DOUBLE that for no reason and that's still only $7,000 just about...... and that's well over HomeAdvisor's estimates.... not sure how accurate those even are. I think shooting $2,300 over their estimate is definitely playing it on the pessimistic side. So likely grossly overestimating the cost of the floor and beam installs that's maybe..... MAYBE $15,000 for both. As for the cabinets..... They don't look overly fancy to me. No better than, say, what NewAge Products offer. He also "only" has 3 lower cabinets, 2 upper, and 2 lockers. Over on NewAge Products' website their top of the line "Pro 3.0" series costs like $4,000-$4,500 for TWICE the amount of lowers, uppers, and lockers. So I'm guessing the cabinets AT MOST cost $5,000..... but more likely around $2-3,000. That major overkill of an air compressor he installed isn't as expensive as I thought it would be either. A quick search online for "Jenny compressors" and I found a site that sells them. The 80 gallon model in which he got costs $2,600. If he paid more.... he bought from the wrong website, haha. The QuickJack model he got costs $1,365. As for the electrical and plumbing work..... I have no clue. Not counting the plumbing and electrical costs..... my likely GROSSLY overestimated cost for this build is about $25,000. Grossly overestimating the little electrical and plumbing work he had done.... let's say $30,000. More conservative estimate. $15-20,000. I forgot what else he installed. I think there was some sort of air filtration system for his compressor. Whatever that costs, through that in there as well. MY estimated total..... $15-20,000..... my OVERESTIMATE $30,000 for everything. And $2600 (not counting tax and shipping) of that is for that massive overkill of a compressor PLUS the filtration system for it. Take that out of the picture and you can lower the total cost by $3-3500 (however much that filtration system cost plus the 2600 bucks $400-$900 seems a safe average to bet hence the $3000-3500 estimate). So sans the overkill air compressor and accessories, that;'s about $27,000 for the rest of the install for an OVERESTIMATE. Searching online and using other more knowledgeable people's/website's estimates and then just doing simple math, conservative estimate sans air compressor+....... $12-17,000. And if you just get a normal garage floor, epoxy installed by pros, the internet says that shouldn't cost more than $6/sqft. This website has a MUCH lower estimate. www.thumbtack.com/p/epoxy-garage-floor-cost Specifically that website says this: The size of the floor to be finished with epoxy directly affects the overall project cost. The larger the floor, the higher the total cost, but the price per square foot usually drops for larger spaces. NSI Epoxy mostly finishes two- or two-and-a-half-car garages, which are about 400-450 square feet. Here are price examples based on floor condition and size: Fair shape 400- to 450-square-foot garage floor: ~ $3 per square foot = $1,200-$1,350 total Damaged concrete on a 400- to 450-square-foot garage floor: ~ $3.25 per square foot = $1,300-$1462.50 Water-based epoxy that needs to be removed from a 400- to 450-square-foot garage floor: ~ $3.25 per square foot = $1,300-$1462.50 A 400- to 450-square foot garage takes a two-person crew two days to complete. Fair shape 600- to 800-square foot showroom floor: $2.75 per square foot = $1,650-$2,200 Fair shape 10,000-square-foot industrial floor: $1.75 per square foot = $17,500 My first thought on this is.... damn, 2-2.5 car garages are only 400-450 sqft? There is no way in hell my garage can be considered a 3 car garage but it IS at like 630 sqft...... about 23 feet wide and 27 feet long (wider and longer by a few inches). Anyways, the estimate for the 400-450 sqft is only $3/sqft. So for me I can look at about a professional epoxy install setting me back about $1900. $2,000 let's say. So $2,000 for flooring. Over at NewAge Products website I can get their Pro 3.0 series cabinets and lockers for $4500 and get twice the lowers, uppers, and lockers. I don't have any columns to remove in my garage. I don't need nor do I know a single person who needs an 80 gallon air compressor. This dude details cars..... does he use pneumatic polishers? haha. Air drying..... you can do that with a much MUCH smaller compressor. Or an actual, designated air blower that they make and are on the market FOR detailing cars. I'm assuming he does other things other than detailing cars...... he has to for that compressor to make any sense. Bottom line I could probably have a similar looking garage for less than $8,000 for some sick cabinets and excellent flooring. I think people, especially the peanut gallery on social media AKA the comment section, grossly overestimate how much things cost. If you're still reading this. I rewatched the electrical part of the video. He just had electricians essentially install 6 light fixtures and a light switch. Then they ran power for the under cabinet lighting and for the air compressor. The internet says that to have a light fixture installed it will cost between $95 and 250 bucks. To have a light switch installed the average cost (robbery) is $98-193. So just with that let's say each light, which they piggy backed off an existing fixture, they charged $150 (since they did 6) per light. Then let's say they charged $150 for that light switch. I can't imagine the cost being all that steep just to run wire.... but let's say that cost $100. For probably a little over a half day's work I'm guessing..... GUESSING the electrician bill was about $1,200-1,500. Let's assume that was the same for the plumbers. That's $2,400-3,000. That seems VERY high to me to just run a few wires, install a few fixtures, and install some new piping. But we all know.... electricians and plumbers a professional robbers, haha.
Hey, I came across this Video because I am in the planning of my own garage! It is great to see how excited and happy You are! I have never seen a Video from You before but I will in the future! Greetings from Germany!
Hey, just a tip for you... you can use an anti-scald device to auto-adjust the temp of your water.... have it the perfect warm regardless of temperature running out of the water boiler.
All my life I wanted a garage like this but never seem to have the will to make it happen. Of course, it also takes a boatload of money to do it right and without question that was always a big factor. Now that I'm up in age with medical issues, I really can't do the kind of work that I used to so it would be more about the love for organization and layout. I would NEED to install a full-fledged air-conditioner system combine with all new wall insulation and a garage door to match. Videos like this still make the prospect tempting simply to have bragging rights to all that may see my garage door opened.
Very nice job man! Its really perfect and all features about light, clean pressed air, storage, yeah, I am happy to see it. I wish a lot of nice time there.
Riding out today’s snowstorm and I see this video. Now I know what I’m going to be daydreaming about all day. I could be at ease by simply standing in your garage.
LBigJake14 I would like someone else's opinion but don't you think the flooring he uses is stupid. Can't sweep it, small bits get stuck, can't wash it. Expensive.
It was sealed with a clear coat which I'm assuming is also a polyaspartic coating like the base coat so it can certainly be swept, washed etc. It's pretty much a commercial grade flooring system so abrasion and chemical resistant as well. Perfect for a garage and I'd certainly love to have a set up like this.
He is higher up north, but once you get going in your garage, you find yourself stripping down to your T-shirt after 20 minutes of scrubbing. :) He needs a dehumidifier.
Great video! I can tell that you really worked hard to make your dreams a reality and not just a schmuck with a lot of money to throw around. You got a like and subscribe for that.
Maybe they got tired of the continuous promotion of products and services? Personally, I found the video interesting, I like to see how craftsmen work regardless of the high density of marketing.
I just painted my walls and floors and then just stumbled on your video here. Wish I did my floors differnently instead of the rustolem stuff but I just rent a condo, so im not out a whole lot of money but wanted something nice and clean to roll around on. nice garage Larry!

Exterior garage walls are almost never insulated. It's not a living space so builders never insulate them.

My dream garage would have a drain, an integrated high pressure washer, and heat, so I can detail my cars in the winter!
Nick, I hear you man, that would be an awesome accessory to have!
Don't get me wrong, Larry's garage looks awesome! I think if he had more space, he probably would've put a drain in. I'd want a pole barn so that I could have a designated "washing" area so that none of the other vehicles would get wet.
Nick Berger well if a water line busts or water heater goes big big mess
Yes, that would be a disaster. It would be best to try and keep the wash area contained (by walls) so that any accidents wouldn't cause much damage, and so that the water would simply run out through the drain. As anyone can tell, something like this would cost a lot of money in the first place.

Just stumbled across this one.....man Larry it is totally obvious how genuinely happy you are. That's a great shop man...that's about as much space as i have currently. Congrats! Very inspiring!
Larry and Matt together on the same YT-show would be awesome.
Been following you for years now Larry. Love everything you do, keep it up!
much better than a man cave @ammonyc
It is a man cave... ;) Difference is its a man cave for men, not for little boys.
hah,gotta correct you there mate, its an expensive man cave :D
a gaming cave is much cheaper,so hey some have to compensate,right? :D
would love a garage like that .
hahah :)
16:24 You can tell how excited Larry is to have it all done--on the verge of giddy. I can only imagine how I'd feel, and I am sure I would react the same way. I recently graduate college have a great job and am looking forward to building something similar for my golf gear, hockey gear, and more importantly the car.
Lally column replacement with unique steal beams & large pours for epoxy is what I learned from this video. This is cool video. Thank you.
"And with that, daddy gets to play a little too" I... am weak? We love a good dad. It looks beautiful! :)
congrats on that garage. freaking awesome. all your products in the cabinet, so great
I love how happy he is about this!
I didn't know the car cleaning business is this profitable! I'm amazed at the mount of stuff you put into your garage and your just cleaning the car! Had you been a mechanic i was have expected lifts for the car and robot's that do the work! But this is very cool and amazing when you see someone that loves what they do put in time and effort to get the best quality out of the products they make and produce.
From the floors, to the workbench, to the Porsche. WOW! Definitely want to get out of an apartment and get a house. A garage would be great to do detailing/maintenance/projects.
9:23 that is some professional bolt rounding right there fellas
amazing video. My dream garage
Not even a fridge?

Fridge for what? beer?
thats right my son.
All deer everything
Larry I have to say, I watched your video and I'm so glad to be glad for somebody that has really done a nice thing, your garage is fantastic, I love everything you've done, the Lally columns removal, outrageous, everything you've done, was outstanding, I wish you the best!
I'm in the process of doing my garage right now and that's how I stumbled on your video, while looking at ModuLine's Pro series II Cabinets,I can't say enough about your work good luck brother!
@Ammo NYC thanks for the video, you helped me find a company that removes lolly columns. Lallygone was absolutely wonderful they gave me the garage I've wanted.
Where is the beer fridge? Not complete without it
Dropped down to the comments specifically to see who asked where the beer goes. :) Not all heroes wear capes.
Seriously tho
Kkk
lmao
@@eliakitssharaa as a gay Jewish black man, I am giving you a hug for the whole internet to see, since you need some attention cutie pie ;)
Nice shop! A little tip...if possible, route your air compressor intakes outside - you'd be amazed at the sound level difference!
Mounting outside isn't always possible. Freezing temps, potential CCR's and just annoying your neighbors can force you to keep it inside. As he noted, it's got an 80 gallon tank, his use of pneumatic tools is limited so the compressor kicking on probably doesn't happen often.
@@jeffreyhicken That's probably why Tom said "if possible" no?...
First time watching your video! Wish all the best in the world!
Kudos to you bro,you finally get your dream garage,you earned it man,you have worked very hard to get it. It must be nice to have a garage like that lol. Can't wait to see your videos from there!! I love your eye for detail and your dedication.
Not a car guy but a minimalist, I love the clean and organized look the garage has.
Here in my garage, with my Porsche. But you know what's better than materialistic things? Knowledge.
Yeah fuck you

Thank you!
BRO! Larry and that dude who use to be from chemical guys! both of them are such a big inspiration!
Awesome seeing how excited you got as you showed it off, especially the cabinet with all your products in it. Congrats on fulfilling your dreams.
Fantastic detailing garage. This is a dream I have, I have a passion for detailing and I’ve started my own car wash at the age of 13, since then I’ve fallen in love with detailing.
where the bed at tho? Once i get my McLaren F1 GTR LT im gonna wanna sleep in the garage right next to it
Filippe Barros lol
🤣
I said same thing to my g/f lol and i like hearing other McLaren lovers
@@kentaylor5842 ayyyeeee been a McLaren fan since I was 4 😂 18 now lol
Would hate to lose a screw on that floor hahaha
Jared Veale Or one of those tiny C clips
I don't see why people use those chips, you can't find sh!t when you drop something. Those floors are for guys who don't really do a lot of significant work on cars. Light gray with no chips 👍🏻
Oh well he is a detailer, not a mechanic. Think about it in the aviation world where every nut, screw, and bolt have to be accounted for.
At first glance a problem.But I would lay a flashlight on the floor pointed towards a wall instead of pointing it down towards the floor. I've found many things with this technique. Even a contact lens.
I did decorative concrete floors for a number of years and they call that a color chip floor and i hate them for that reason, get an epoxy solid light color floor with epoxy sealer and will last years being able to spill even aviation fuel and not hurt it.
Damn! Awesome job Larry. I can't fathom the cost of this project!
What is the issue with people. Why would 641 people put a thumb down. This is a good video. This man has worked hard and long to get where he is now. He wanted to share his new garage build with the world. I'm so happy for you. Love the new garage. Got some great ideas for my garage by watching yours.
Jealousy, no renovation cost information like they do on House Hunters, etc., jealousy, envy haters, etc. (I gave it a thumbs up, by the way).
You can see how happy he is with the result - fantastic work Larry.....Well Done!
You and Matt know each other? No surprise!
+1 to +ObsessedGarage!
Love these videos, it would be cool of you both to collaborate something someday. The best all under one roof!
Cool to see Matt from Obsessed Garage here. The garage turned out super clean!
Congratulations again man, you’ve worked super to get where your at, keep it up 👍🏾
What a great blessing you're going to enjoy. Congrats on your new garage/ shop. Your reality is way better than I can even dream of right now. Thank you for sharing and may God continue to Bless you and your family in 2019. Rodney
man I've watched this video countless times and its soo relaxing seeing something go from what it was to what it became!!
A dream indeed Larry! Learned some very Interesting things and gotta haves as well!
Looks Amazing Buddy.

I don't ever want to get married so when I finally have my own house I can make every room look professional like this garage. :]
n3rdbear Marriage ends up cheaper, providing your wife works full-time. Split costs.
nope. I don't have the patience of maintaining a relationship either. MGTOW buddy.
I completely understand what you mean... Women's movement set back relationships 50 years.

Just don't marry a dependopotomus. Find someone that lifts you up and doesn't drag you down. I'm better off with my wife in my life than without. No regrets.
Great video. What an absolute DREAM GARAGE! Nice to see a hard working guy realize his dream.
It’s absolutely awesome to see your shotgun garage and now see you correcting paint on a GT3-RS! You’re doing very well, Larry! Will be happy to give you business with my new BMW!
Ammo > Chemical Guys
Hagan Crumpton
0:33 How tall is this guy? It looks as though he almost hits the garage door rails.
The Chemical Guys have no chance with Larry. He's the Rambo of car detailing.
largol33t1 oh absolutely he’s literally the fucking GURU Of detailing lol
Josh Sidhu FUCK the chemical guys. Larry is the best.
Forget a dream house...I want a dream Garage.
What about something to extract the dirt you blow off with the air compressor? So the dirt doesn't travel around the garage and go back on the car.
Anonymous I too wanna know as I’m starting a company but need to know what to do lol
I did a very similar thing as you however my veneration goes through HEPA filters & warms it slightly then inputs the air not expires the air- simply as my double doors had huge gaps ( which I made smaller ) so basically the air blows out through the smaller gaps, before this the garage was always thick with dust-dirt & also very damp, was more faffing about & slightly more expensive but it means I can park a car partially done ( washed & clayed) then the next day I can go back & have had nothing unfiltered coming in via gaps,beforehand I'd park a spotless car inside and & return to find dust etc blown through the bigger gaps into my garage ( plus dampness) so it ment having to do things again- now its not the case- that said I've had to use a leaf blower a few times to remove fine dust but I work and have plenty of high power fans n HEPA filters ( asbestos), was great to see you addressing ventilation as its a small thing overlooked by many, I actually have fitted extraction to garages for friends who have fitted out garages but didn't think of ventilation, wish icould of had your flooring though its amazing, I definitely have floor envy 🤣,great set up learned loads from you're uploads 👌
IExcellent garage, it's detailer's Dream! )))
Thank you for all of you doing. You inspire many people!
Best regards & big HI from Russia!
Love the obsessed garage cameo!
Awesome video. Question, I noticed you stored your products out there, but do you keep them out there even when the temps start dropping? I was wondering if it was ok to keep cleaning products out there in the temp swings, is it ok as long as they don't freeze, or should they be stored in a certain temp range? Thanks!
For AMMO products, as long as they don't freeze you're ok. Thanks for watching!
This is awesome Larry! I've been watching your vids for a while now as an Obsessed Garage member and was hoping you and Matt would have the chance to work together. Look forward to the podcast too!
Great job! It's great to see someone so excited to fulfill thier dreams and to be so humble about it. Cheers to bigger dreams and more great videos!
Awesome build! My dad completed his ultimate dream garage last year. It had 3 four post lifts and a two post lift, a full bathroom, 5 double garage doors, one big enough for a boat, huge workbench and the same compressor you got here. It was 100 ft long and had 15 ft ceilings. It held 13 cars and had a metal lathe, a milling machine, drill press, engine hoists, metal brakes, 4 different welders etc. He had a stroke in the last year in the Spring and passed away from cancer in the Fall so he didn't get to use it. :'( Now I will be building my ultimate garage, but in a more modest 2 1/2 car space. He didn't do detailing, but I do so mine will probably look more like yours...but with one of his HotRods in it. :D
I'm guessing about 25-40k for everything?
I would say half of that just for the floors.
If you wanted to do your garage the exact same way he did with all his structural changes, tools, etc. you can spend at least 100k.
@@TheComputerwizzz You really think so? I think 100k sounds pretty steep for what he had done.
@@TheComputerwizzz There's just no way. Those two beams with install weren't more than $15K. The floors using what they appeared to be using couldn't have cost more than $10K installed. The cabinets were definitely pricey. I suspect everything worst-case scenario couldn't have been more than $35-40K.
@@Warkive - I'd have to agree. The dude was acting like his flooring was super special. It looks like your run of the mill epoxy or a polyaspartic coating. Only real difference he talked about was instead of acid etching the floor they used diamond grinders to essentially just sand the floor. Online they say for a 2 car garage a professional install of epoxy or polyaspartic coating shouldn't cost much more than $6/sqft. I have a 2.5 car garage like Larry. I don't know his dimensions, but mine are 23 feet and 4.5 inches wide by 27 feet and 3 inches long.... roughly (just measured to get an idea because I am currently looking to fix up my floor and stumbled on this video a few days ago). That's like roughly 640 sqft. Multiply that by 6 and you get $3,840. Let's say he overpaid, or that company overcharged for the "pro" experience of using diamond grinders instead of acid etching. Let's DOUBLE the cost. That's still far less than $10,000. If I had to guess.... $6-8,000 for the flooring.
According to Home Advisor, having a steel beam installed costs anywhere between $1,200 and $4,700.
HomeAdvisor cost breakdown:
-The price of an engineer who views the site and plans to determine the proper size and strength of the metal beams needed, which costs $400-$600, on average for a project
-The labor rate of the contractor or contractors who perform the installation, which takes about half a day per beam and costs around $200-$400 for each beam
-The cost to deliver the beam and lift it into place (if this is not included in contractor pricing), which can cost from $600-$1,200 for labor and equipment rental per day to lift the beam into place.
Not sure if Larry's install is considered 1 or 2 beams..... but let's go with two, just because HomeAdvisor hints at a single beam install taking half a day and Larry here says "at the beginning of the day I had a lally column and at the end of the day it was gone." So I'm taking that as it was a full day of work. So let's go with this being a 2 beam install.... which makes sense. Going on the high end of those HomeAdvisor estimates then that's $600 for a dude to come out and determine what you need. $800 for contractor labor. And then to have the beams delivered and lifted into place - $1200..... having to lift two beams I can't imagine it costing more....... but let's say it does and that costs $2,000 even. That's $3400. Let's DOUBLE that for no reason and that's still only $7,000 just about...... and that's well over HomeAdvisor's estimates.... not sure how accurate those even are. I think shooting $2,300 over their estimate is definitely playing it on the pessimistic side.
So likely grossly overestimating the cost of the floor and beam installs that's maybe..... MAYBE $15,000 for both. As for the cabinets..... They don't look overly fancy to me. No better than, say, what NewAge Products offer. He also "only" has 3 lower cabinets, 2 upper, and 2 lockers. Over on NewAge Products' website their top of the line "Pro 3.0" series costs like $4,000-$4,500 for TWICE the amount of lowers, uppers, and lockers. So I'm guessing the cabinets AT MOST cost $5,000..... but more likely around $2-3,000.
That major overkill of an air compressor he installed isn't as expensive as I thought it would be either. A quick search online for "Jenny compressors" and I found a site that sells them. The 80 gallon model in which he got costs $2,600. If he paid more.... he bought from the wrong website, haha.
The QuickJack model he got costs $1,365.
As for the electrical and plumbing work..... I have no clue.
Not counting the plumbing and electrical costs..... my likely GROSSLY overestimated cost for this build is about $25,000. Grossly overestimating the little electrical and plumbing work he had done.... let's say $30,000. More conservative estimate. $15-20,000.
I forgot what else he installed. I think there was some sort of air filtration system for his compressor. Whatever that costs, through that in there as well.
MY estimated total..... $15-20,000..... my OVERESTIMATE $30,000 for everything. And $2600 (not counting tax and shipping) of that is for that massive overkill of a compressor PLUS the filtration system for it. Take that out of the picture and you can lower the total cost by $3-3500 (however much that filtration system cost plus the 2600 bucks $400-$900 seems a safe average to bet hence the $3000-3500 estimate). So sans the overkill air compressor and accessories, that;'s about $27,000 for the rest of the install for an OVERESTIMATE. Searching online and using other more knowledgeable people's/website's estimates and then just doing simple math, conservative estimate sans air compressor+....... $12-17,000.
And if you just get a normal garage floor, epoxy installed by pros, the internet says that shouldn't cost more than $6/sqft. This website has a MUCH lower estimate. www.thumbtack.com/p/epoxy-garage-floor-cost
Specifically that website says this:
The size of the floor to be finished with epoxy directly affects the overall project cost. The larger the floor, the higher the total cost, but the price per square foot usually drops for larger spaces. NSI Epoxy mostly finishes two- or two-and-a-half-car garages, which are about 400-450 square feet. Here are price examples based on floor condition and size:
Fair shape 400- to 450-square-foot garage floor: ~ $3 per square foot = $1,200-$1,350 total
Damaged concrete on a 400- to 450-square-foot garage floor: ~ $3.25 per square foot = $1,300-$1462.50
Water-based epoxy that needs to be removed from a 400- to 450-square-foot garage floor: ~ $3.25 per square foot = $1,300-$1462.50
A 400- to 450-square foot garage takes a two-person crew two days to complete.
Fair shape 600- to 800-square foot showroom floor: $2.75 per square foot = $1,650-$2,200
Fair shape 10,000-square-foot industrial floor: $1.75 per square foot = $17,500
My first thought on this is.... damn, 2-2.5 car garages are only 400-450 sqft? There is no way in hell my garage can be considered a 3 car garage but it IS at like 630 sqft...... about 23 feet wide and 27 feet long (wider and longer by a few inches). Anyways, the estimate for the 400-450 sqft is only $3/sqft. So for me I can look at about a professional epoxy install setting me back about $1900. $2,000 let's say.
So $2,000 for flooring. Over at NewAge Products website I can get their Pro 3.0 series cabinets and lockers for $4500 and get twice the lowers, uppers, and lockers. I don't have any columns to remove in my garage. I don't need nor do I know a single person who needs an 80 gallon air compressor. This dude details cars..... does he use pneumatic polishers? haha. Air drying..... you can do that with a much MUCH smaller compressor. Or an actual, designated air blower that they make and are on the market FOR detailing cars. I'm assuming he does other things other than detailing cars...... he has to for that compressor to make any sense.
Bottom line I could probably have a similar looking garage for less than $8,000 for some sick cabinets and excellent flooring. I think people, especially the peanut gallery on social media AKA the comment section, grossly overestimate how much things cost.
If you're still reading this. I rewatched the electrical part of the video. He just had electricians essentially install 6 light fixtures and a light switch. Then they ran power for the under cabinet lighting and for the air compressor. The internet says that to have a light fixture installed it will cost between $95 and 250 bucks. To have a light switch installed the average cost (robbery) is $98-193. So just with that let's say each light, which they piggy backed off an existing fixture, they charged $150 (since they did 6) per light. Then let's say they charged $150 for that light switch. I can't imagine the cost being all that steep just to run wire.... but let's say that cost $100. For probably a little over a half day's work I'm guessing..... GUESSING the electrician bill was about $1,200-1,500. Let's assume that was the same for the plumbers. That's $2,400-3,000. That seems VERY high to me to just run a few wires, install a few fixtures, and install some new piping. But we all know.... electricians and plumbers a professional robbers, haha.
The whole setup is amazing, thank you for sharing!
This was like watching a good little boy open his Christmas presents!
Hey,
I came across this Video because I am in the planning of my own garage! It is great to see how excited and happy You are! I have never seen a Video from You before but I will in the future!
Greetings from Germany!
Hey, just a tip for you... you can use an anti-scald device to auto-adjust the temp of your water.... have it the perfect warm regardless of temperature running out of the water boiler.
How much did the column removal cost?
Just curious, why not use LED fixtures for the overhead lights?
Thought about it. Guess I'm just an old school guy. Maybe one day. :)
AMMO NYC you won't regret it, I spent 2mos in Lamborghini's factory and immediately changed shop w expenses when I got home.
*car guys breath heavily
All my life I wanted a garage like this but never seem to have the will to make it happen. Of course, it also takes a boatload of money to do it right and without question that was always a big factor. Now that I'm up in age with medical issues, I really can't do the kind of work that I used to so it would be more about the love for organization and layout. I would NEED to install a full-fledged air-conditioner system combine with all new wall insulation and a garage door to match.
Videos like this still make the prospect tempting simply to have bragging rights to all that may see my garage door opened.
AGAIN. #AMMONYC SETS THE BAR. THIS IS BEYOND PERFECTION. WITH ROOM TO SPARE. WELL DONE.
Yup time to start saving money for the next 30 years so I can have me a sweet mancave. A house might be nice too...
Build it right and you won’t need a house
Need a beer fridge & big screen Larry but nice!
haha. I thought about it, but then I'd never leave!
this is a dream for me ,being very broke will do that , keep it a dream!LOL !
Come to england and see our garages. makes your "small" garage seem like super market parking lot
Wait if our garage is a super market parking lot then what is our super market parking lot in England 🤔
Shoraz Himel the size of England 🤣
Very nice job man! Its really perfect and all features about light, clean pressed air, storage, yeah, I am happy to see it. I wish a lot of nice time there.
Riding out today’s snowstorm and I see this video. Now I know what I’m going to be daydreaming about all day. I could be at ease by simply standing in your garage.
I'm sure Matt from Obsessed Garage would like to help you get your garage in the right shape lol
LBigJake14 I would like someone else's opinion but don't you think the flooring he uses is stupid. Can't sweep it, small bits get stuck, can't wash it. Expensive.
I guess I should've watched the video first lol
Martin W It was clear coated
Martin W he clear coated it
It was sealed with a clear coat which I'm assuming is also a polyaspartic coating like the base coat so it can certainly be swept, washed etc. It's pretty much a commercial grade flooring system so abrasion and chemical resistant as well. Perfect for a garage and I'd certainly love to have a set up like this.
Is it heated? I'm thinking you might be cold during winter!
He is higher up north, but once you get going in your garage, you find yourself stripping down to your T-shirt after 20 minutes of scrubbing. :)
He needs a dehumidifier.
Derek Townsley Garages stay warm with tools going as long as you keep the door closed.
thechosendude is it me, or did the hole in the wall seem to lack insulation? But fair points. I'm from California where garages store junk not cars...
Derek Townsley That is normal. Most garages do not have insulation in exterior walls, only interior walls, as they're not part of HVAC system.
Great video! I can tell that you really worked hard to make your dreams a reality and not just a schmuck with a lot of money to throw around. You got a like and subscribe for that.
Thank you!
So fun to hear the excitement in your voice at the end of the video of your freshly built shop. Thanks for sharing the project.
He’s sincerely grateful. Congrats sir. Best wishes.
How can you give thumbs down in this video?
Maybe they got tired of the continuous promotion of products and services? Personally, I found the video interesting, I like to see how craftsmen work regardless of the high density of marketing.
ikr
You click on the button that has an icon of a thumb pointing down.
Yop Brookhuis thumbs up with the screen flipped
they think that's the download button
The second I heard lighting friend I knew it’d be obsessed garage lol
Brendan Callery pretty cool that he acknowledged him for help with lighting. Too bad Matt didn’t do the same for his air compressor
don't use the company Larry used for the floor, the floor started to peel 2 weeks later
Enjoyed watching your delight at the end of the video as you talked about the lifts and cabinets - fantastic project and result!
I just painted my walls and floors and then just stumbled on your video here. Wish I did my floors differnently instead of the rustolem stuff but I just rent a condo, so im not out a whole lot of money but wanted something nice and clean to roll around on. nice garage Larry!
