    I remodeled an entire bathroom in my house just by watching YT videos. I already had an electrical background (although it was low voltage, EET major) but taught myself how to wire my entire bathroom; GCFI, potlights, vanity light, timer switch to a blower fan. Taught myself structural repair because I had rotted out floor joists. Taught myself plumbing; repositioned the shower, toilet and the sink.
    Taught myself how to mud drywall. Taught myself how to do tile. Taught myself how to do wainscotting.
    Yes I messed up A LOT, yes it took me 4 months for a 75 sq ft bathroom, but it still came out close to $15k cheaper than I was quoted (that was w/o them knowing about the structural damage.) aannnnddd i have the satisfaction of knowing I did it myself.
    I'm now watching garage building videos because that's my next project.
    We literally have the entirety of human knowledge at the tips of our fingers and carry it around in our pocket.

    Good video. I live in the Chicago area and I had a garage built in 1976 and it had a couple of features that I liked that I don’t see you incorporating in your garages. They are…..raising the concrete around the perimeter so when you park in the garage in the winter, the bottom plate doesn’t get wet, the other is using a 2x6 as a top plate for the rafters. This garage was built with 16” centers for walls and 24” centers for rafters 2x6 & 2x8 in corners, hip roof. The garage is 47 years old and in great condition. Thanks…Jim

    I didn’t see how (or if) you attached the sill plate of the framing to the concrete. Is that not necessary where you are? Fantastic job of filming and clear and to-the-point narration. You should be a teacher of construction as well. I also noticed what looked like the owner helping you out as simple laborer. If so, I applaud you for recruiting his help. Thank you.

      Metal is less if you’re hiring it done.

    $28K, is this price just for materials only? or is it including labor? Where is the job site located?
