Baby girl was absolutely adorable! Her discipline with putting the sleeves into the box was admirable. And as soon as she was done with that, she was wiping the floor. My grandfather said to always find something to do. If there was nothing to do, then it was time to clean. So precious!
Yes, but in addition Daddy did his part too by giving her a task that she could do. If he had given her a job beyond her capabilities, she would have been frustrated and discouraged. Congratulations to both if you.
I was generally enjoying myself so much for the first 20mins laughing at the self-deprecating jokes and admiring the work, but then the "father-daughter" time actually brought a lil' tear of true joy in the corner of my eyes. Fantastic video A++.
A labor of love. Kind of like any skill, practice makes perfect. You daughter is adorable, the way she wants to help. Glad you have a opportunity for a bigger shop.
This is why you paint the ceiling and walls before the floor, but you will know next time. I was hoping for an epoxy floor with a channel logo at the entrances, but maybe in the final shop when this one gets converted back to a garage? Even though you blew the drywall mud dust off the car, you may want to change the air filter in that car. Shop is looking good so far. You daughter is quite the little helper with the clean up during lighting prep there. So cute😁.
Maybe a collab with that epoxy countertop channel? Some clear epoxy in sections over some thin 1/8" to 1/4" log "slab veneer" with some "river" color between the slab islands? That would make an awesome shop floor.
Gonna be magnificent. As a former professional painter (well, house painter) I can tell you that we don't stir paint we "box" paint. I don't know the origin of the word.) With one empty container we pour half a can of paint in. Then with the other can we pour half raising it high over the center. The inertia of the stream of paint drives it to the bottom and it partially mixes as it wells up. Then with the spare can of paint we pour half into the other 2 cans one at a time by the same method. The least dense paint is driven to the bottom and any mistaken color differences are erased. The process can be repeated. Merry Christmas and a Swinging Saturnalia!
Following your shop finishing on Instagram helped me make it through insulating, hanging drywall, mudding & taping, and painting my Garage. I had 2 weeks to go from studs to finished space while working a full time job.The time crunch was so my now wife and I could have an emergency wedding venue during these difficult times. I REALLY appreciate the insight on paint amounts that you gave, it really helped me estimate how much I needed.
What my husband did was place his machines and cabinets and then periodically repainted the walk areas. His floors always look brand new with half the paint and effort.
Watching your Dad work, I plainly see where your do it yourself skills started from. Your Dad knows his stuff. Enjoy doing things with him while you can. The day will come when you cannot. Trust me, I know. I know your daughter enjoyed working with Daddy. Shop space is looking good.
I love looking at the work in other peoples houses. It gives a real dose of reality which is, your better than you think. We always see our mistakes at micro level. The macro is where you feel good. Same with raising kids.
As far as the comments about ceiling and walls first..... Just a little isopropyl alcohol and paper towels will quickly remove the over-spray on the floor. A quick wet mop for the dust and you are good to go. I have had many shops and this process brought back the memories of prep work. Definitely will appreciate the work after moving in the equipment.
My wife and I have been doing tape, finish, and thin coat for almost 40 years. Some suggestions. Lose the tray and switch to a hawk. You have a lot more control. Start with a 5 or 6 inch very flexible knife. Switch to a 10 inch flexible knife. Spot fill and then prime with a thick white primer. Go back and spot fill again. We usually don't need to sand, just go around with the 6 inch knife and scrape off anything that sticks out. Finish paint. For what it is worth. Glen and Christa
Looking real good. Your daughter has your work ethic and need to place things "just so." She is precious and has a pretty good attention span. I think she may be a Daddy's Girl. You are a great father with lots of patience. Love your videos. Merry Christmas and a prosperous new year.
I too painted my new garage extra white. I'm '69 and need more light to see. Love watching improvements to homes and garages. Your daughter looks just like my granddaughter, they both are so cute!
Mathew, you were really hard on yourself about the dry wall work. I thought it was fantastic. I have seen the best in the industry at this and the worse, believe me, you rate right up there with the best. I am only half way through your video and already I love your work. Got to go now, want to see the rest of this build. What a lucky dog having a blank canvas to work with on a new shop. Congrats. I will stay tuned to your next videos as well as finish this one.
When spraying (if you happen to do another room) use a thicker plastic on the floor. Itll help not get blown up, and the sticky overspray won't destroy it walking around. Also if you end up caring about your tape line, peel when wet. Gotta say, coming from a painter, good job on your paint job
@@mcremona thanks man, I am. Sunday was the first day off in 2 months. Glad to see your endeavors are going well too. Let me know if you want a fire pit kit for the new place, I'll set you up
Mud = plaster right? Your comment about seeing the flaws in the house mudding reminded me of the car body chap in the garage where I served my apprenticeship back in the 80s. He had his house replastered but being a body shop man he was disappointed with the result. He decided to plaster it all again himself, and then sand it back, and polish it to a mirror finish before spraying it as if it was a quality car body. It was when he began adding pin striping by hand that his wife left him in despair! You future workshop is looking great. Well worth all the effort before moving in.
So funny and so true what happens when you start to learn to finish drywall. You pretty much always realize that the rest of the house was done poorly. Everywhere I go I look around at the walls and ceiling’s, at the trim, paint work, etc. It’s almost always all done terribly when you start looking. But when you see good work occasionally, it somehow feels like a relief even though you had nothing to do with it... Good job Matt, you did a real nice job.
As a recent retiree, i started catching up on my "honey do" list. Doing improvements around the house with plumbing and electrical, I research how to do it right. And boy have i started noticing a lot of "short cuts" for full price my "handy man" had been doing. Like they say, "want it done right, do it yourself". Thanks for the videos and good luck.
This late fall while we were waiting for the baby to decide it was time to be born, I refinished (including drywall) two basement bedrooms. First time I'd done mudding, and I watched a LOT of the same videos I'm sure lol The drywall sander would have been nice. And I agree, progression happens fairly quickly. That's why I started with the guest room, and did the office second, since I'll be spending a lot more time in the office :D Also, I bought similar lights to replace those Florescent lights I gave you with 4' versions of what you have, except I opted for the milky/translucent covers rather than clear. I initially bought a clear one to check quality, and I am not a fan compared to the other ones. And unlike you, I ended up with a LOT of extra linking wires, because I ended up buying twice as many as I had lights to connect, because I didn't know how far apart I was going to make them. I ended end-for-end connecting them all, so I didn't use any lol
If you ever wanna give up the stress of youtube stardom you can always come paint with me! But seriously great job on staying positive while mudding and the results look pretty good!
I did hardwood floors for 25 years... The type of applicator I used would have given you an even coat first time, and easier to recoat... Th e applicator is non-rolling and you apply pulling from one end the area to the other... after cut-in of edges.... Good luck, can't wait to see the finished area... Ron from Sandy, Utah...
I learned how to tape long ago... and tried to forget what I learned since then. I hate taping! But... I did okay at it. You always have to ask yourself how much effort, $$$, and grief it will cause you compared to hiring a taper to take care of it. At one point the $250.00 and 30 hours of time might be well bartered for a nice table top or coffee table. Great effort Sir! I love your vids!
Looking at the man door in your garage it doesn't look like it was ever painted, it just has the factory primer on it. I see so many metal doors that are left unpainted and I always perplexes me why they haven't painted them yet.
I can relate to a lot of things you spoke about as I am embarking on my own workshop build. Also, I loved seeing your little daughter helping you (she is so cute and a good little helper!), it brings back a lot of good memories for me from when my kids were her age... Have a great New Year!
instead of baseboards in garages with a gap to the floor. i trowel in cement. versions without rock. so water or liquids on the floor does not get to the bottom of the drywall.. also makes it crazy easy to sweep or blow out. i do the same in laundry rooms.
I have the Porter Cable version of this drywall sander. I found it crap for walls. Where it was amazing was I recently put a wood floor in the shop. I applied two coats of Poly 6-8 hours apart without sanding for next coat per instructions. Left it dry overnight and checked in the morning. realized it needed 1 more coat. Now I had to sand. I used the drywall sander for this and it worked perfectly. it was as easy as mopping the floor. Now the finished floor looks great. Far too good for a shop actually!
Ok, just finished this video. First of all, your daughter rocks. I have raised three and included them in everything I did. It helped to build great character just as I am sure you're doing. What a great Dad. I personally would not have taken down the garage door openers. Yes you have arms, but you already had openers installed. I would have kept them, unless of course you had a better use for them somewhere else. Great job painting, I'm ready for the next video. Will stay tuned. By the way, your daughter probably wont appreciate everything you are teaching her until she is about 30 years old. Don't take it personally, it is just the way it is, take from an old man who knows. Great job Dad. Her poor future husband will have awful big shoes to fill.
Great to see this taking shape, Matt. I recommend the Liftmaster 8500 garage door opener - it mounts to the wall and will give you back a ton of overhead space. Plus it's quieter in use. I've owned several of them, and have nothing but good to say about them. Might be a worthwhile upgrade for the new space!
@@mcremona Well, that's another way to regain that garage head space! TBH in my current house I've not yet moved the electrical outlet, so still have an extension cord strung across the ceiling... 4 years in. So at least you won't deal with that! Cheers.
Merry Christmas guys . Man Matt , I got tired half way through the video just watching . I do the occasional house reno and I feel er pain . You did good , been doing drywall off and on for the past 20 years and I still suck at it . fantastic little helper you got there .
Removing the door opener also makes it more secure- it’s very easy to reach in and disconnect the chain. You could get ride of the external lock and handle, too, and make it even more secure.
Nice! My first drywall seam was a splitting seam in my garage ceiling. Looks like popcorn! I have that same airless sprayer and it's been great. I've painted half my house's interior since we moved in this past April (our first home). Esp helpful on the ceiling! FYI the airless sprayer stuff is 'supposed' to be finger tightenable. The nut on the gun certainly is. *shrug*.
Watching Matt prepare the floor of his new workshop over Christmas lunch here in freezing Wales...that or Christmas Carol.😂 Have a good one Matt and family. ❣️
Man, I love my Magnum X5. I just did something similar last year when I had to paint the entire ceiling of my 1000 square foot garage/shop. I also used ultra white satin (I applied Drylok to my block walls, with roller though, not sprayer). I looked like a mess afterwards but I couldn't imagine doing that, in between joists and other nooks, with a roller and brush. I hung Sunco 5000k fixtures from Amazon between joists. Thanks for sharing your process!
As I was watching you sand the walls, I kept seeing these tiny spots and specks. It suddenly occurred to me that I had not cleaned my monitor this week. Thanks Matt!
I say this only to prevent a shop fire. I am soon to be retired,licensed electrical /HVACR contractor. As per National Electrical Code any load that is considered continuous such as lighting and electrical heating you can only load a circuit to 80 % of its capacity. On your 15 amp circuit you would only want to load it to 1440 watts. The reason is the long term heat on the wire will break down the wire insulation. As I said long term, you don't need to change it today. When you add or change out the lights you may want to add more circuits. Surface mounted conduit would be a easy fix. You very smart in using lots of smaller lights vs only a few brighter light fixtures. Light coming from lots of different angels will get rid of shadows. You may even want to try a few of those light fixture on the sides of the beams. that will help light any vertical surfaces. All auto paint booths have more lights on the walls than the ceiling so the sides of a car being painted has no shadows. THANKS for all you great videos! Dan Hamilton
That not having the tools thing is so true. It's why I don't like doing any work for people away from home, inevitably I need something I don't have with me and have to go buy it.
Matt, really nice job on the makeover. As a retired electrician just a suggestion. Never use the max ampacity of a circuit for steady state load. Their is a rule that we always used called the 80% rule. In other words, because a 15 amp circuit is capable of 1875 watts, you shouldn’t plan for more then 80% of that or 1500 watts. Again, nice job.
Check the garage door opener you removed from the ceiling [and its remote], for a backup battery- if it has one, remove it so it won't leak and eat up the electronics you might want to use in the future.
Merry Christmas from San Diego to you and your family. You are giving me serious shop envy. I am getting a new shed/shop in January and it’s a giant 7X10 foot building. Looking forward to all the great projects to come. Your daughter seems very exacting with her cardboard packaging, attention to detail. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Matt, I have meter long speed skim that is the same as you borrowed from your friend but a lot longer, it makes all the difference and leaves a fantastic finish. I used to think that plastering was a dark skill that I would never master, now I know it is all about the tools and very little skill involved. I wish you and your family all the best for Christmas and bright new year ahead.
Hello mister Cremona, great job in your new workshop, I back your pardon from my English, I wish you and your family marry Christmas and happy new year from Italy.
I can relate to so much of this episode! I did a 1 bedroom 2 bath addition and dry walled and mudded it myself. I don't enjoy it, but I did gain experience as I went, and it looks better than the rest of my house. Oh, and my Dad too is way better at it than me! He's just like your Dad, slow and meticulous. Nice job!

A sweetie pie.
And flawless.

Yes, but in addition Daddy did his part too by giving her a task that she could do. If he had given her a job beyond her capabilities, she would have been frustrated and discouraged. Congratulations to both if you.
What an adorable little helper you have. Setting a good example for our future working class.
Regardless of how well you painted, your helper was the 🌟 of that video. I was so impressed how nearly she stacked those boxes. She’s a real keeper.
Now Matthew, that’s the sweetest and cutest helper. Good to see dad and daughter spending time with each other. 👍👍🧡🧡
Mine was the better DIYer ‘till she got married and moved to London. Grand daughter has prospects though. 😀
I was generally enjoying myself so much for the first 20mins laughing at the self-deprecating jokes and admiring the work, but then the "father-daughter" time actually brought a lil' tear of true joy in the corner of my eyes. Fantastic video A++.

Once painting is done it’s the most satisfying feeling
This is why you paint the ceiling and walls before the floor, but you will know next time. I was hoping for an epoxy floor with a channel logo at the entrances, but maybe in the final shop when this one gets converted back to a garage?
Even though you blew the drywall mud dust off the car, you may want to change the air filter in that car. Shop is looking good so far. You daughter is quite the little helper with the clean up during lighting prep there. So cute😁.

Sounds like good idea 💡
Maybe a collab with that epoxy countertop channel? Some clear epoxy in sections over some thin 1/8" to 1/4" log "slab veneer" with some "river" color between the slab islands? That would make an awesome shop floor.
Why? Was the car running when he was blowing out the garage? Do you change your air filter after driving behind someone on a dirt road too?
More Light!! I love that, I have never been in a place that had to much light...
Any video with daddy's little helper, Eloise, gets a thumbs up from me. Merry Christmas to you and the rest of the family, Matt.
Its nice to have friends with quality tools!
Gonna be magnificent.
As a former professional painter (well, house painter) I can tell you that we don't stir paint we "box" paint. I don't know the origin of the word.) With one empty container we pour half a can of paint in. Then with the other can we pour half raising it high over the center. The inertia of the stream of paint drives it to the bottom and it partially mixes as it wells up. Then with the spare can of paint we pour half into the other 2 cans one at a time by the same method. The least dense paint is driven to the bottom and any mistaken color differences are erased.
The process can be repeated.
Merry Christmas and a Swinging Saturnalia!

Best part of this video - your adorable daughter meticulously putting the covers into the box.
What my husband did was place his machines and cabinets and then periodically repainted the walk areas. His floors always look brand new with half the paint and effort.
nice to finally see your dad :-) there is nothing like having your dad helping you with house-jobs :-)

I've never been more excited to watch a guy clean and paint his garage lol
Your daughter is so dang adorable. Merry Christmas, fellow girl Dad! Nice job on the shop as well.
Watching the little one put the containers in the box was cool!
I love looking at the work in other peoples houses. It gives a real dose of reality which is, your better than you think. We always see our mistakes at micro level. The macro is where you feel good. Same with raising kids.
Oh my gosh, that shot of your daughter wanting to get picked up brought back so many memories, and she is so darn cute.
Those shop lights are one of the biggest upgrades you can do for the money. Huge!
As far as the comments about ceiling and walls first..... Just a little isopropyl alcohol and paper towels will quickly remove the over-spray on the floor. A quick wet mop for the dust and you are good to go. I have had many shops and this process brought back the memories of prep work. Definitely will appreciate the work after moving in the equipment.
Get some wall mounted garage door opener. Just bolts onto the bar. Looks like you have torsion springs so they will work
Only 8 minutes into video and I have to note - GREAT attention to detail! Excellent
Thanks!
Props to your Pops (and you) on the drywall mud. The Maker's curse is learning a new skill and identifying the imperfections all around you...
My wife and I have been doing tape, finish, and thin coat for almost 40 years. Some suggestions. Lose the tray and switch to a hawk. You have a lot more control.

Always a tarp on the plastic but your learning and that's what life is all about . Happy trails
Hey Matt. Loved your "Welcome to the land of 'good enough' ". Often the hardest part of painting is knowing when you've arrived.
What a great worker you are!! Hell that’s same size my condo is!

I did LEDs in my garage too just like this but 4' apart. It's so nice not having shadows and having a constant light level day or night.
Hope you’re finally taking some time off. Congrats on the busy holiday season 🙂

@@mcremona fair point, but we have much cooler stuff now

Pressure warshers are so much fun. To work with, and to pronounce. Preferably in summer, though.

yes watch first is a good start, but also have then do a good deal of the task to get good at it.

4:07 What! Had no idea the floor was heated. WOW! That helps so much with overall room temp so have that in a shop is a serious luxury.
And now I will never be able to go back #heatedfloorsorbust
@@mcremona that's totally what it was like after my first epoxy floor. Now I'm striving for that barndominium heated floor life.

Have a good one Matt and family.
❣️
Doing this exact same job with the same skill level in an aircraft hangar. Also looking at my home drywall with a keen eye.
Way to go Matt. Lots of work but it will be really nice when you are done. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to your whole family.
Great job Matt, you and your family have a great 2021 and Stay Safe !!!.
Shop is looking really nice....Looking forward to seeing the tools go in.
I wished I had done this before moving in to our new house.
Man, I love my Magnum X5. I just did something similar last year when I had to paint the entire ceiling of my 1000 square foot garage/shop. I also used ultra white satin (I applied Drylok to my block walls, with roller though, not sprayer). I looked like a mess afterwards but I couldn't imagine doing that, in between joists and other nooks, with a roller and brush. I hung Sunco 5000k fixtures from Amazon between joists. Thanks for sharing your process!
As I was watching you sand the walls, I kept seeing these tiny spots and specks. It suddenly occurred to me that I had not cleaned my monitor this week. Thanks Matt!
Hahahaha
I say this only to prevent a shop fire. I am soon to be retired,licensed electrical /HVACR contractor. As per National Electrical Code any load that is considered continuous such as lighting and electrical heating you can only load a circuit to 80 % of its capacity. On your 15 amp circuit you would only want to load it to 1440 watts. The reason is the long term heat on the wire will break down the wire insulation. As I said long term, you don't need to change it today. When you add or change out the lights you may want to add more circuits. Surface mounted conduit would be a easy fix. You very smart in using lots of smaller lights vs only a few brighter light fixtures. Light coming from lots of different angels will get rid of shadows. You may even want to try a few of those light fixture on the sides of the beams. that will help light any vertical surfaces. All auto paint booths have more lights on the walls than the ceiling so the sides of a car being painted has no shadows. THANKS for all you great videos! Dan Hamilton
Love your helper! Fun to watch you on your new property!
That not having the tools thing is so true. It's why I don't like doing any work for people away from home, inevitably I need something I don't have with me and have to go buy it.
Nice shop
Good work. You are very modest.
Haaaa, you make my arm, back and neck hurt just by watching! Yes Matt it is just a shop.... done to perfection :)
Nice looking space you made.
In the UK we'd plaster the whole walls smooth in probably a quarter of the time :)
Very happy for you, Matt. Congratulations, again, on the new 'estate' and shop. Merry Christmas to you and your family! 🎄
Thanks Norm!
Matt, really nice job on the makeover. As a retired electrician just a suggestion. Never use the max ampacity of a circuit for steady state load. Their is a rule that we always used called the 80% rule. In other words, because a 15 amp circuit is capable of 1875 watts, you shouldn’t plan for more then 80% of that or 1500 watts. Again, nice job.
Check the garage door opener you removed from the ceiling [and its remote], for a backup battery- if it has one, remove it so it won't leak and eat up the electronics you might want to use in the future.
Merry Christmas from San Diego to you and your family. You are giving me serious shop envy. I am getting a new shed/shop in January and it’s a giant 7X10 foot building. Looking forward to all the great projects to come. Your daughter seems very exacting with her cardboard packaging, attention to detail. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Thom!
Looks good Matt, proud of you and for you
Hi Matt, I have meter long speed skim that is the same as you borrowed from your friend but a lot longer, it makes all the difference and leaves a fantastic finish. I used to think that plastering was a dark skill that I would never master, now I know it is all about the tools and very little skill involved. I wish you and your family all the best for Christmas and bright new year ahead.
Thanks John!
Hello mister Cremona, great job in your new workshop, I back your pardon from my English, I wish you and your family marry Christmas and happy new year from Italy.
Man things are really coming along.
It's looking great Matt.
Hope you, Lindsey, your children, and family have a great Holiday and a Merry Christmas.
I know your arms and shoulders were sore after all that hard work. Looks great, Matt!
I can relate to so much of this episode! I did a 1 bedroom 2 bath addition and dry walled and mudded it myself. I don't enjoy it, but I did gain experience as I went, and it looks better than the rest of my house. Oh, and my Dad too is way better at it than me! He's just like your Dad, slow and meticulous. Nice job!
Mat and his daughter work so good together because they're about the same size. 😁
