Brown recluses aren't a big deal. My wife was bitten by one when they were released by new construction in the grocery store she worked at. It just took months of physical therapy and stuffing the wound with dressings to make sure she'd keep her leg.
davidrobert2007, that's what i was going to suggest. looks like it's too deep to fill in and too shallow to make a service pit. false floor would be the quickest and cheapest option.
Rob, I really like your videos because you are one of the UA-camrs how doesn't do supercars or fast stuff, but just the weird slow stuff that's hidden in the car community. I like Trabants a lot. Here in the Netherlands you have a club with a very active community and fixes Trabants and sells them to groupies so they have an decent car to start with. Hopefully you will upload more unusual cars and DIY Trabants video would also be very helpful!
That's great to hear! That's the kind of behavior I can get behind. It's very likely I'll have more unusual cars in the future as well as more Trabontent. I'm not much one for making legitimate instructional videos, but I could have some more project videos on the Trabant.
Man, you’re one of the best car channels out there. A perfect mixture of humor, actual progression in projects, and great explanations. That said, I might be a bit biased with Saab 96’s being my favorite car. ;)
Found your channel last year. Big fan of your Top Gear/Grand Tour-like delivery and zany antics. Fellow Missourian from just north of you in St. Louis.
Missouri is glad you stopped trying to dehumidify all of their air. XD You still haven't found out what that pit was originally for, have you? But thats really nice work you've done there with the shop, Robert. Good job!
😂 don’t even think about taking the Trabant on the interstate, I don’t know how people drive in Missouri, but here in California, ANYWHERE in California, It would be a night mare. It’s either heavy traffic, or empty open highway. There’s no in between lol
thebetatester800 lol first of all I commute in my Lexus 45 mins every morning from Templeton CA to San Luis Obispo CA via the 101. Second, the I-70 runs East/West and CA-101 runs North/South, so they are not interchangeable....I don’t think you’ve ever been to CA.
DIAMLER ...okay, I'll take I-35 or I-29 over the 101. Or if you prefer I'll take I-70 over I-10. I don't see how direction matters. Pretty much every interstate between San Francisco and San Diego are going to be busier than any interstate in Missouri simply because there are more people travelling in California. But you do you
The previous owner sure had a interesting sense of architecture! Meaning it made sense to his needs as he expanded over time but not to any one else.Give it time you will will figure all of it out,perhaps one of his old customers or workers will happen by and you can get the answers about the pit etc.
This is way more than I'd ever dare to go into the territory of engine disassembly, respect man! Hope it'll be run fine after the reassembly. Waiting for part 2! :)
You could weld up some ramps that a car can drive onto and make this pit sort of a second place where you can get underneath a car easily. Would be cheaper than filling this space with concrete i think...
you wouldnt fill it with concrete, usually its filled with gravel or some other material with a thick slab on top still expensive , wonder how much weight a wooden deck would hold heh
I got itchy skin once I saw that spider. On the other hand, keeping going man! I love your videos. Your super underrated. You deserve a million subs and more.
Hit up a local import or warehouse. We end up with a FECK load of 3mm ply. Its not great looking, but we're a little place in the middle of nowhere and still have 30+sheets doing nothing. So email a couple and see if you can just rock up and take a load for wall covering.
I think you could put some sturdy "ramps" over part of the pit, so you can drive cars onto it and have a decent amount of room to work under the car, as opposed to getting a lift.
I think you might be my spirit animal... I laughed so hard at this one that I don't even know exactly what you even did in this video. For this, I thank you. I'll be rocking the AG wheels shirts and Patreon when my life is a little less...hot garbage. Thanks for the laughs, love what you do.
Thanks Jim....I mean Robert! I figured your name was Jim and that sign was a clue! So anyway, great shop and videos! Keep it coming! Subbed because you're a sarcastic idiot like me that hates brown recluse too. Like the wolf spider that I had to use a shovel to kill in my shop.
Really would have painted or washed the walls before installing that bench xD But great video as always, greetings from germamy, the home of the trabant ^^
I love your sense of humour, but then again I love snakes and especially spiders, I can't help myself but touch them. Edit, PS I'm so glad I found your Chanel. : )
One time my ceiling fan decided it would be just swell to fall from it's mounts and hang by the wiring. Well, I let it be like a moron and 2 days later, on my wall was a living, breathing brown recluse, and I'll spare you the story and noises I made but I promptly proceeded to light the place ablaze, as you do.
A buddy of mine (may he RIP) got a brown recluse bite. On his face. Took him six months to recover, and he described it as "my face turned to pudding".
That missing section of wall is probably part of the previous owner's pickup truck floor Since it's airtight, tent and fumigate that sucker. Or at least set off half a dozen bug bombs.
Turn the pit into like a seepage basin for oil when it runs all over the floor or at least fill the pit in but make a channel for said oil to run into so you can catch the runoff and make it less slippery in your garage.
Ugh, brown recluse spiders! I'm with you on that, for sure. When I had to move my last shop, which was in the basement of a small house on a pond (ie.: spider nirvana), three days before I set off about 6 foggers (for 600 square feet - according to the directions that's about 6 times too many) and kept it sealed. And then, the day before, 3 more, to get the stragglers, and the ones who no doubt moved in after the first gassing. I know they were there because of all of the mosquitoes, so it was nice hunting grounds for them. And I did feel a bit bad for gassing the things, but I took the attitude that they could have the outside of the house, and I'd leave them alone; in exchange, I get the inside. They broke the agreement, so, well, spider heaven for them :-)
i hate that feeling. i once jumped into the shower and almost a minuet plus into it looked down to find huge brown recluse running around in the tub with me
Eric Doe I was peeing one time and a giant brown recluse fell down from the lip of the toilet bowl into the the toilet. Thank god I’m a male because if I was a female it probably would have been on my ass instead. Then when I flushed the toilet the spider was so strong that it just about overcame power of the flush.
I'd love to have a shop space like that, I could even deal with the pit though I'd have to add a ramp (not too much trouble just for motorcycles). Sadly shop spaces where I live are getting pricy with our better economy.
That was nearly two years ago. There was a definite bump from it, but the real growth happened earlier this year for no apparent reason. Regardless, it definitely didn't hurt.
Aging Wheels that is why i think it did not really help your channel which would have been nice i guess but i still wonder why you got all these subs beginning this year
Kust encase the pit is still a pit now filled with junk - here is a thought - turn that large pit into a hot pool area - just imagine this for a while hmmm not bad is it? yeah you know what I'm talking about. keep up the good work Cheers from GlennV in NZ
if you dont like brown recluse spiders, as an aussie i can offer you huntsmans, red backs, trapdoors, funnel webs, and bird/mouse spiders. they're bigger and angrier and breed like trabants in your garage
YES !!! YES !!!. Chinese motor porn!!!!!!!!!... er, ahem, sorry got excited. That will do nicely - Hello from the UK by the way. The internet has many tentacles - much like those spiders.
My house is only a few steps away, and it contains significantly fewer brown recluses. My shop doesnt have running water anyway so using the toilet in there is just weeing in a fancy porcelain bucket that's difficult to dump out.
Brown recluses aren't a big deal. My wife was bitten by one when they were released by new construction in the grocery store she worked at. It just took months of physical therapy and stuffing the wound with dressings to make sure she'd keep her leg.
Come again? Released by new construction? What sort of fresh hell is that?
Yeah keep a leg no biggie!
Sounds like a big deal to me
I'm hoping he means; "Stirred up by new construction." But yeah, I was kinda thinking the same thing. But then again we're both in Missouri....
There were tons of spiders under the flooring, kept separate from the rest of the building until the area was opened up to put in new cashier islands.
That's not a pit. It's a swimming pool waiting to be finished off....
Build a false floor over the pit, would be a handy storage space.
For snakes and spiders!
Doug Rohrer and dead bodies
You could put a wine cellar under there
I'd turn it into an unnecessarily big man cave, to have that well deserved beer at the end of the day. Or during.
davidrobert2007, that's what i was going to suggest. looks like it's too deep to fill in and too shallow to make a service pit. false floor would be the quickest and cheapest option.
Bug bomb everything. Then do it again. Then burn it down and rebuild. Then more bug bombs.
Doesn’t seem very good for self preservation, seeing as you’re a hornet
Beautiful-ha-ha
"Kill it with fire." The only sane reaction.
Turn the pit into a spider refuge camp
Rob, I really like your videos because you are one of the UA-camrs how doesn't do supercars or fast stuff, but just the weird slow stuff that's hidden in the car community. I like Trabants a lot.

Found your channel last year. Big fan of your Top Gear/Grand Tour-like delivery and zany antics. Fellow Missourian from just north of you in St. Louis.
I just gotta say that I really love your videos. I haven't been so excited to see a UA-camr upload in a long time. You're awesome!
Iv'e been waiting for the 96 to come into the spotlight again!
You may or may not be waiting two more weeks
Take your time. I totally understand the "Work a full time job, have life, make video" treadmill.
HAH! "Have life". I know for a fact Robert doesn't have one of those so there's no excuse for not having a video in 2 weeks! :P
You're a trip man! Thanks for posting...……….
mad respect to you my man
Missouri is glad you stopped trying to dehumidify all of their air. XD
You still haven't found out what that pit was originally for, have you?
But thats really nice work you've done there with the shop, Robert. Good job!
It was almost certainly for an alignment rack.
best wishes aging rob! your humour cracks me up all the time!
Thanks for the Patron setup. The "Aging Wheels" coffee mug was too small to be useful. It now decorates our kitchen. Keep posting insanity!
That roof collapse still was kinda cool, also, great to hear you have a schedule
😂 don’t even think about taking the Trabant on the interstate, I don’t know how people drive in Missouri, but here in California, ANYWHERE in California, It would be a night mare. It’s either heavy traffic, or empty open highway. There’s no in between lol
DIAMLER Missouri highways are the most unpleasant thing ever.
You clearly haven't driven in California. I live in Missouri and have visited CA on several occasions and I'll take I-70 over the 101 any day
thebetatester800 lol first of all I commute in my Lexus 45 mins every morning from Templeton CA to San Luis Obispo CA via the 101. Second, the I-70 runs East/West and CA-101 runs North/South, so they are not interchangeable....I don’t think you’ve ever been to CA.

Pretty much every interstate between San Francisco and San Diego are going to be busier than any interstate in Missouri simply because there are more people travelling in California. But you do you
DIAMLER And we're all very happy you have a Lexus, glad you found a way to humble brag that in there
Sad to see the old buildings change, the office and bathroom go, and your struggles with fixing the place.
The previous owner sure had a interesting sense of architecture! Meaning it made sense to his needs as he expanded over time but not to any one else.Give it time you will will figure all of it out,perhaps one of his old customers or workers will happen by and you can get the answers about the pit etc.
Thanks, keep doing what you do. Whatever it is that you do.
Super excited for the future of this channel, good luck Robert 😬
Best of luck, I really enjoy your content.
Glad you are actually getting the shop into shape
I gotta be honest. You are my favorite car channel on youtube next to Regular car reviews. Keep up this amazing work.
Watching all your videos now. You’re awesome
This is way more than I'd ever dare to go into the territory of engine disassembly, respect man! Hope it'll be run fine after the reassembly. Waiting for part 2! :)
LOVED the video!!! Funny guy with great delivery!
You could weld up some ramps that a car can drive onto and make this pit sort of a second place where you can get underneath a car easily. Would be cheaper than filling this space with concrete i think...
you wouldnt fill it with concrete, usually its filled with gravel or some other material with a thick slab on top
still expensive , wonder how much weight a wooden deck would hold heh
That sounds like a spider haven.
3:22
Well, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.
I'll show myself out.
elogy890 i hate earwigs much more than spiders
I had such shop envy. Then the snakes...
Always nice to see one of your videos!
Still think you should use a open grate floor on the pit
And lose all your nuts and bolts
I’m a huge fan of your videos, watched them all and I love your humour! Enjoying these workshop videos though
Thanks for uploading great content!
I enjoyed the squeak of retreat as the toilet walls hurtled tword you.
I got itchy skin once I saw that spider. On the other hand, keeping going man! I love your videos. Your super underrated. You deserve a million subs and more.

I have never laughed so much for ages. Thanks for spreading the fun.
Big fan man, great videos
I really enjoy the good laughs your videos bring we think the same way when it comes to comedy keep it up!
WAaahh!!! SPOODERS!!
Kill with Fire!
I think you might be my spirit animal... I laughed so hard at this one that I don't even know exactly what you even did in this video. For this, I thank you. I'll be rocking the AG wheels shirts and Patreon when my life is a little less...hot garbage. Thanks for the laughs, love what you do.
Thanks Jim....I mean Robert! I figured your name was Jim and that sign was a clue! So anyway, great shop and videos! Keep it coming! Subbed because you're a sarcastic idiot like me that hates brown recluse too. Like the wolf spider that I had to use a shovel to kill in my shop.
The "JIMS THRONE" was a sign I just found in the shop while I was cleaning
Jim, where ever you are, god bless you, but your spider throne is now a nothing.
That big of a shop in never Dunn!
That pit looks like easy access to the underside of vehicles if you build a track to park them on.
What you're using as a floor is actually a large concrete work bench, the pit you're talking about is the real floor.
Love your channel and persona.
I love your videos and the down to earth approach. You are hilarious 😂 I also hate spiders very much so share your anguish.
944I watched your first videos on the 944 because I have bought one that is not here yet. Good luck with the projects
"I don't like spiders and snakes
And that ain't what it takes to love me
You fool, you fool"
"the garage is in a usable state" I thought it was in Missouri... :P
Hey man love, your stuff. A ball pit would be a nice, cushy safety net in case you fall backwards working on any engines again =)
God damn it you are cool! One hell of a property!!!
Really would have painted or washed the walls before installing that bench xD
But great video as always, greetings from germamy, the home of the trabant ^^
Wow.. it looks like you know how to do just about anything. Wish I had half your smarts. You r funny & very creative :)
I think Missouri wouldn't mind getting a little bit dehumidified. You're providing a general service to the public! Well, you were.
Ah. Missouri wildlife in the summer. have fun.
I love your sense of humour, but then again I love snakes and especially spiders, I can't help myself but touch them. Edit, PS I'm so glad I found your Chanel. : )

You're funny. And interesting to watch.
That missing section of wall is probably part of the previous owner's pickup truck floor
Since it's airtight, tent and fumigate that sucker. Or at least set off half a dozen bug bombs.
Good luck
So jealous that's a nice shop :)
Use the pit. Build ramps into the space so you can roll a hulk in there and work on it without having to use the lift.
U deserve more suubbs
Jr and more saabs
I don't have a clue on what's all of this about but I am subscribed
I would have an awful job for far too long to have that shop (to-be). It'll be a wonderful place to work at
Turn the pit into like a seepage basin for oil when it runs all over the floor or at least fill the pit in but make a channel for said oil to run into so you can catch the runoff and make it less slippery in your garage.

"Safety's boring".
Awesome.
3'22", so funny. But I feel your pain. Each video is more entertaining that the last.
I think I would try cleaning the wall panels,or painting them before I put up the workbench
Definitely subscribed to enjoy the humor and craziness! Also, has anyone told you your voice sounds like Kermit occasionally?
Very entertaining as always Robert. Can I suggest some car brand posters and paraphernalia to festoon the walls of the shop?
Yes. As long as you don't suggest cleaning the walls first. That sound dreadful
i hate that feeling. i once jumped into the shower and almost a minuet plus into it looked down to find huge brown recluse running around in the tub with me
Eric Doe I was peeing one time and a giant brown recluse fell down from the lip of the toilet bowl into the the toilet. Thank god I’m a male because if I was a female it probably would have been on my ass instead. Then when I flushed the toilet the spider was so strong that it just about overcame power of the flush.
You deserve way more subscribers than you have
I'm in for Patreon, love your dark humor and projects. Have you said what area of Missouri you're from? Fellow Missourian here.
The mid-Jefferson County area
You should have set off about 6 insect foggers. They sell them at the grocery store.
You could just put a couple ramps going down to the pit so you could park one of the cars in it
I'd love to have a shop space like that, I could even deal with the pit though I'd have to add a ramp (not too much trouble just for motorcycles). Sadly shop spaces where I live are getting pricy with our better economy.
That pit has too much of a meme potential. You can't just fill it up 😁
market those el torcho's for expert spider removal. I'd buy three.
+1 roof collapse
Don't worry I am only afraid of well organized spaces.
Listening to this video while cleaning my shop 8 literally just got bit by a spider
I really wonder if doug demuro driving your trabant helped your channel btw your vids are getting better in both quality and quantity
That was nearly two years ago. There was a definite bump from it, but the real growth happened earlier this year for no apparent reason. Regardless, it definitely didn't hurt.

always enjoy your videos. are you still down in south county/jefferson county?
Cool !
if you dont like brown recluse spiders, as an aussie i can offer you huntsmans, red backs, trapdoors, funnel webs, and bird/mouse spiders. they're bigger and angrier and breed like trabants in your garage
I hope he keeps up the great job. Maybe even start a second channel even if it is Under Dunn
i love your videos!! i want more about your yugo and trabant
I don't own a Yugo, but I do own the Trabant. More Trabontent needs to be made at some point
ahh ok
You mentioned youre in Missouri. Where about? I am near SGF and would love to come buy you a coffee and look at your cars and talk shop.
You and Fully Charged get my patreon-age. Entertaining and Interesting vids Robert. Look forward to each one. Any motorcycles on the horizon?
Thanks for your patronage! I can't promise any motorcycles, but I can offer up a crappy Chinese motor for bicycles. Is that close enough?
YES !!! YES !!!. Chinese motor porn!!!!!!!!!... er, ahem, sorry got excited. That will do nicely - Hello from the UK by the way. The internet has many tentacles - much like those spiders.
hey robert make sure have the Patreon Link on your channel and on your other videos :)
So with the restroom gone, where are you going to "go?"
My house is only a few steps away, and it contains significantly fewer brown recluses. My shop doesnt have running water anyway so using the toilet in there is just weeing in a fancy porcelain bucket that's difficult to dump out.
Can you please install some kind of A.I system so you actually have a TALKING SHOP?! That's what I thought this video was about! LOL
