Tankless water heater install is not to spec. Look up install instructions will say to have some length of copper off the hot side water line. Didn't see the flush valves either for yearly clean out flush.
Water Heater - Have someone do a nice Propress copper line setup instead of the thrown in pex. Level and plumb, it would look like a Ferrari water heater. Add in a nice stainless vent. The water heater needs some drain valves to facilitate yearly cleaning, a more important task on a tankless
@@normalguysupercar not really a good idea to enclose the water heater inside the cabinet because it takes oxygen from the garage, if you enclose it it was starve for oxygen and not run properly, if it drew air from outside it wouldn’t be a problem but I only see an exhaust going up through your ceiling
@@charlie1832 My model is actually interesting in that the exhaust is powered and it has 2 tubes, 1 inside the other. It sucks in air from outside, and forces the exhaust out. You can hear the fans running when it's one, it's pretty cool.
Dan, if you want to save yourself ALOT of time (2+ hours) and no more buying RESIN, rinse off car, then you can simply put 5 caps of Optimum No Rinse in a 5 gallon bucket of distilled water and wash your car with their Big Red Sponge then use a premium microfiber towel from the RAG Company. Voila', done in 20 minutes in comfort of own garage and no spots.
Hey Dan, what brand of ramps do you have? My wife just got an LP560-4 Gallardo and we want to get a set for odds and ends if we ever need to get the car off the ground enough to clean under it and also to install a set of composite skid plates under the front bumper. Race Ramps are great but super expensive and if you have this off brand for your 458, they will work for the LP G. Thanks.
Great looking "Stallion Stable". Where can i find the Octagon Ceiling Light Kit? Went to your website, and couldn't find them. Thanks, and continued success!!
You don't have to give back your license plate when you get a new car? Here in Maryland we do. I just got a 2021 volvo SC 60 and they said they would charge me if I didn't give it back
Does that Vacuum have a switch, to turn it from suck to blow? Asking for a friend I had the concrete in my garage re-done for a little under 6k, I thought about doing the epoxy, but my concrete guy was suggesting he would charge me a bunch, so I was like nah.
You need a BEER fridge for mates that come round. A few stools to watch the TV like some Supercross. Where's Meg we need her to float round and give her 50cent's worth.
I am just envy. Your garage is just man's heaven, before and after renovation are like your entering different house. Brilliant job, Dan. Light is allways the problem , it isn' t enough, but you have plenty of it at your garage. That waterheater is problem, like your said. Place where it is, are hard to cover, so good luck for solving that, everything what I am trying to think, never working, or looks like sh.t. All your tools are like I wanted, if I have my own garage, easy to find and all where they ment to be, so you don't need to take time to find out where your tools are now. It is joy to waiting your future videos, when you are first time doing it at your new garage.
Obsessed Garage wall mount pressure washer setup eventually? And yeah you definitely needed to keep the tool box. I wouldn’t put a water heater cabinet all the way out as deep as the tall cabinets, because then it would be basically like the old box out closet that was there before.
Only thing I would have done different is put all the tools in the cabinets so you don’t have to walk back and forth and honestly it looked better with the tall cabinets on both sides. Also the water heater looks fine. You mounted it on that wall so you could knock down the structure that was there, don’t put it back. Oh and the TV...I would have put it on the wall in front of the cars with a little computer so you can pull up schematics and stuff when working on the car. It’s how I have it setup inside my toolbox at work, it’s so nice not having to walk back and forth while diagnosing.
Just had an idea: make a painted wood cover for the water heater that you can just hang in place with a French cleat setup. That way it could just lift off and be removed to service the water heater, and it would only need to be a couple inches deeper than the water heater itself.
I'm a little surprised that Dan has a gas lawn mower, why not get a battery powered mower, and then it can be mounted on the wall(and off the floor). Then you wouldn't need gasoline in the cabinet.
If you want to hide the water heater. What about using another cabinet and cutting the portion of the back out? I would just paint the vent black after that... just a thought. The garage looks awesome!
Paint the water heater in the same red as everything else. Die the concrete black to blend in with the cabinets. Separate the controls of the red LED strips from the white hex lights so that you can turn off the whites and leave the reds while not in use. It will wow guests when you first open the garage at night. Maybe add a security camera with night vision, just in case.
Definitely buy another matching cabinet. Cut out the back for the water heater and with the space left over in the lower half of the cabinet put a small glass front mini fridge for "refreshments ".
Talking about headers and sounds, you should consider a sound system for the garage. A nice sound system will make working out there a whole lot better than no tunes at all. Nice looking garage, it turned out great!
Maybe use or get another full height cabinet and put the water heater inside it. Move the tv over the tool boxes. You could put that vacuum inside the cabinet too.
It looks like your garage door has some sort of tape installed to seal the gap between panels. Does it prevent water from dripping on to your garage floor when the door is opened when wet?
Brother you can always use a air tank there just like slot if odd tools you rarely use my brother it's always that one thing you need that you once had and gave away and now you need it👍
Dan, the feet for the cabinets are so you CAN vacuum under the cabinets. with you not putting them on, you have a little room to let small things get under there, but not enough room to vac under it to clean it up. You can do it either way, but if you don't put the feet on, block off the little room you do have so nothing gets under there, or at one point you will be sorry.
He did it right. The cabinets that I have in my garage are on feet so that you could wash the floor if you need to. I wish that I had the concrete slab like he does cuz it would make it that much easier when i need to refinish the epoxy on my floor or to even simply wash the garage. I would have to remove all my cabinets to do the work right.
Have them add a false wall at the Tankless Water Heater but add a Shower valve so you can have hot or Warm water when you wash cars.. You can thank me later
Dan, maybe I missed it from previous episodes, but did you change the garage door out to a truly insulated unit? (I know you put some foam board on the inside at one time.) I heat and cool my garage and the insulated door makes a big difference. Also the garage door needs to be weather-stripped inside and outside as much as possible for air sealing. When you talk about the water heater exhaust pipe not being "level", the term is actually plumb. Level is horizontal and plumb is vertical. I'm not criticizing, I'm just being helpful. Keep up the good work....
Grear result Dan. Done really well. The floor you can just use grey pavement paint. Like the one used in car parks. Oh and some plastic trunking to hide all the wires in the wall just to look a bit better and the garage will be perfect. Is allready 99.9% perfect :) Happy New Year
I see that youre picking momentum up slowly! I do have to kindly point out that your intro needs more colour, excitement and tune😅 But youre doing absolutely fantastic!!☺️
If you later on want an air compressor you can put one outside and make an insulated box for it, drill a hole through the wall and mount a connector inside or a line with several connectors. Edit: Think you've made some great choices to build this garage and I agree the heater history thingy is a difficult nut to crack to make it look good.
Love the setup! Glad you made the table area one long setup and put the tool box to the side (more work are, the better) ... just a suggestion here,, highly tools such as drills and other plug in items (flashlights etc, run a power strip in one of the overhead cabinets and drop the power cable through the bottom and use the slat and add a small profile shelf for the charger.... this keeps the the tools charged at all times, the tool handy and the look clean 👌 Best wishes on the new set up Dan, love how the channel has come along 😀
I would just cover the water thing with some boards/cabinet type with opening door to access it and just vinyl wrap the panels in matte black and red to match the cabinets...if that makes sense lol
Awesome job on the remodel. I have the same cabinets in my garage and when you start wrenching you will see how much easier it is to work. You're going to love it.
Garage looks great Dan! Love the Chamberlain and the lighting!
Thanks
Dan , thats the ultimate mancave! How about barstool, computer, small cooler? Awesome garage! Enjoy!
I like that idea
You should be proud as it looks great. You should paint the rest of the bare concrete floor though!
Thanks
Where do you keep the random stuff? 😂
In the random stuff pile
it's a great looking garage, but the lights say: lamborghini.
Nahhh Ferrari is the way.
Looks more like WS6 Trans Am to me!
Tankless water heater install is not to spec. Look up install instructions will say to have some length of copper off the hot side water line. Didn't see the flush valves either for yearly clean out flush.
They are there
Amazing garage. It’s been a great vlog series. Can we get back to the manual conversion 599?
Yes
Why do you want the vacuum unit so high? Do you need a ladder to empty it?
Saves space
Fantastic looking garage! Really motivated to do mine, thinking to start off with similar lighting , it’s like a showroom in there! 👌
Thank you!
We’re can I buy the lights

It has the valves
if possible could you get a single width cabinet and cut the back out to hide the water heater?
That's true
@@normalguysupercar then your row of cabinets would all match, although you might have to move the TV over slightly to clear it.

@@normalguysupercar oh ok I didn’t think that had a concentric vent on it, then by all means close it in that it’s breathing from outside
Looks great Brother! We just posted a garage update on our new place ... about 99% done... but it is never quite finished ... is it!
Nope, mine will never be totally done.
ummm wheres the first aid kit???
In the house
To hide the hot water heater perhaps buy one more narrow cabinet and cut the back out of it. Move the tv according.

New rule, no Porsche,Lamborghini,Corvette, Tesla,BMW,or Jaguar allowed😄😄. Forza Ferrari ! Excellent work.

Looks great! Unfortunately the lights are a little distracting for me.

Nope. Not in Texas or Michigan

True
Looks great. quick questions, what are the dimensions of your garage? And how much space do you have between the cabinets and your car?
It's only 24' x 24' or so. I have a couple feet in between the cars and cabinets.
Just had an idea: make a painted wood cover for the water heater that you can just hang in place with a French cleat setup. That way it could just lift off and be removed to service the water heater, and it would only need to be a couple inches deeper than the water heater itself.
Not a bad idea at all
Also … You need to install several security cameras. I would strongly recommend it.
Also …. Add a fridge/cooler in the garage.
I have cameras all over
I'm a little surprised that Dan has a gas lawn mower, why not get a battery powered mower, and then it can be mounted on the wall(and off the floor). Then you wouldn't need gasoline in the cabinet.
Well I've had it for over 20 years so it just keeps running
Just paint the water heater Rosso Corsa and stick a chrome horsey on it. It will fit right in, lol. (Seriously, all looks great!)
Haha I'm considering that
You got off easy! My Ferrari garage is only 500 sf. Just in cabinets $20,000. But I went all out!
Nice!
If you want to hide the water heater. What about using another cabinet and cutting the portion of the back out? I would just paint the vent black after that... just a thought. The garage looks awesome!

Got the camera and the red lights are on a separate switch
Wow! A side mounted garage door opener. I’m refinishing
my garage and I want this. Very cool!
Yeah it's pretty badass
Great job Dan! I'm sure its been said already and I'm way too lazy to read all the comments - where's the beer fridge?!
Haha inside the house
Definitely buy another matching cabinet.
Cut out the back for the water heater and with the space left over in the lower half of the cabinet put a small glass front mini fridge for "refreshments ".
Yeah I may do that
Talking about headers and sounds, you should consider a sound system for the garage. A nice sound system will make working out there a whole lot better than no tunes at all. Nice looking garage, it turned out great!
Thanks. Only catch is I can't listen to music when filming... Which is most of the time
it is brilliant
Thank you
Another idea is would you consider putting in a stereo system with speakers. You can listen to music while being in your garage.
I'll probably do that at some point. Easy to add later on
So much room for nefarious activities
Yup!
Maybe use or get another full height cabinet and put the water heater inside it. Move the tv over the tool boxes. You could put that vacuum inside the cabinet too.
Not a bad idea
It looks like your garage door has some sort of tape installed to seal the gap between panels. Does it prevent water from dripping on to your garage floor when the door is opened when wet?
That's for holding in the insulation
Two mistakes in your garage. 1 - there should be a wash sink and 2 - a water connection for car washing
I considered that but there's no drain access.
10k ??? Mate more like 14k. I would have thought. The wall 's will be 4k.
Maybe
Brother you can always use a air tank there just like slot if odd tools you rarely use my brother it's always that one thing you need that you once had and gave away and now you need it👍
Hmm true
I like all of it well worth the 10gs .one ? ( i could goggle it i know) the vac up high on wall is it hard to empty it ?
No the top comes off and it uses a bag
The fire extinguisher is absurdly awesome!!!! 👍👍👍
Thanks!
When is Meg going to do her apathetic garage review... Parts & emotional labor?
Oh that can be arranged
Just roll your tool cart in front of the water heater. You can move that cabinet over and you’ll have a little bit more room by the door.
Possibly
Very nice congrats. I have a nortz tankless enclosure kit that they sell Hide the unit and rid the exhaust vent
Interesting
$2000 in drywall? Holy shit! How many sheets did you use?
Labor in that price... It was about $600 in actual drywall.
Awesome garage Ferrari
You should build a storage box around the water heater so it disappears..
Yeah might happen
Great work Dan - just need the Miller fridge :)
Haha yes
what cabinets are those? im looking for red to go with my maserati
New age pro

They literally sit flat on the floor. You might be able to get a sheet of paper under part way of there's spots not perfectly level

I need all those tools!! The garage is looking good Dan!
Thank you!
Having a pretty wife can be even more expensive!

Ooooo that rear bumper is Sooooo close to the garage door...
That was while seeing stuff up so I had as much room as possible
Great job sir!!!!!
Your garage looks fantastic 👍👍👍😁
Thank you
Now is awsome :) but before that it was nice too
Thanks
Someone is going to break a toe on the floor jack

You can put hot water heater outside.
Not this model.

Wo feet under the cabinets the concrete will rust the bottoms I think.
Yes fuzz and junk will get under them.
Only if they get water under there
