Garage Worklog 9: Time to PAINT!

2015-12-20
hello and welcome to the next garage were clogged so here's the garage it's looking very nice as you might have seen in the last garage were clogged it's been fantastic have an actual space out here and move around and get work done not feel like I'm claustrophobic or anything but what I'm doing today is is mainly on this side of the garage I'm gonna paint these walls I'm also gonna paint part of this cabinet here and then I can actually start putting stuff in there because there's really nothing in there also I you know I got to do stuff like there's a little Nick's in the wall so I'm gonna sand and cover some of that stuff up I have like oh here's my creative way of covering my my sockets as a couple sockets here and behind Sherlock data over there and so I'm gonna do some coverings to bring those down shelves are gonna go I'm probably gonna do two rows of shelves here in here and it's gonna it's gonna be absolutely fantastic but the thing that is really the end goal here which is starting over on this side this little pile is all of well not all of but a lot of the stuff that I moved out of here to make everything look so neat and clean where's the rest of it you may ask oh god it's on here that's right all of this stuff this is my stuff it's organized there's like cases are over there and components that kind of thing look see it's Christmas you got got the tree goin I haven't turned it on yet because it's still daytime outside no he's over here on the couch I know he and also I just got this this metabones adapter that I could use my my Canon lenses my EF lenses my gh4 it's kind of nice I like it anyway let's go get some paint he's hardware paint and speckle let's get to it hey guys it's day two now day one is complete night one as well because I did work well into the night last night but I got a single coat down as well as some other stuff let's take a look at what I actually accomplished so far so here's a desk all all covered in plastic I of course had to reposition all the stuff that was over here over to there just temporarily and then my big old cabinet here I went to work on pretty quickly to get those those focuses to get these shaved off the the ends of the screws that were sticking out actually only did this side of it I didn't do the the far side yet because I'm in a bit of a time crunch and sorry I don't know why it's taking so long to focus I'm in a bit of a time crunch because I'm actually going away for the weekend because it's my lovely wife's birthday and we're doing a weekend getaway and I really need to get this done before then so the painting first coat went on last night it's pretty good it's actually pretty smooth too although I think I'm gonna do a second coat did all the spackling and stuff as well tried to smooth stuff over it's not 100% smooth but it's much better than what you might notice that I have a slightly lighter shade of grey than before this is called mountain Boulder that's the shape that I chose out it's it's lighter I wanted to brighten things up a little bit I also wanted to get rid of there's like a little bit of a green tint to the old gray that was there that's the gray that was just there when I moved in and actually this matches pretty well with the card that they gave me an actual color that it turned out I don't know if that's a rare thing with paint or not but anyway I need to get the shelves ready to go I need to do one more coat of paint and the shells I'm gonna run in to the store now though to grab those shelves and have them ready to install once the second coat is dry put all these shelving options it's like you could put shelves everywhere even in your butt does it make sense I've learned over the course of doing this project that wood is expensive so all these solid pieces over here that are actually shelves are actually priced by the foot it's like these like five six five six seven dollars per foot and I need eight-foot shelves so that means those are 40 bucks each so in an attempt to keep the cost down further down here I discovered these guys which I've already started picking out and these are much more cost-effective because they're in eight-foot sections and it's only seven seventy one each let me put two of these side-by-side to make about a 12 inch deep shelf okay never mind I found these one by tens that is wide that single pieces much better okay so here's pretty much where I met first off cameras blurry I'm trying to use out-of-focus I know it's like sit here worrying it there you go all right so I put the second coat of paint on and I'm pretty happy with that like it's kind of cleared up some some patches and everything but if you haven't already been able to tell this whole kind of garage work blog today and yesterday has been pretty rushed for instance I haven't really painted underneath here yet for example I only went down to the back these are all connected to the wall and I'm not gonna disconnect them to paint so it makes a little bit more difficult so I've only been doing this top part here the goal is to get the shelves in and that was to kind of that's kind of my goal my endpoint for this video but I am actually gonna have to cut this short I'm at a stopping point because it's Thursday evening right now and I'm about to leave for a weekend trip with my wife it's it's may be your birthday maybe you should say happy birthday to her on Twitter maybe she follow her on Twitter she's mrs. Paul Hardware anyway um if you do that tell her I said hi what this is here is the brackets that's gonna hold this shelf on of course it's this way right here it should be but yeah as you can see the the brackets extend little bit further so the shelves actually going to be held out from the wall a little bit which is good I want to be able to get stuff behind it maybe for lighting and that kind of thing these pieces of wood I got I'm super happy with because they're very cost-effective this is what delayed me today and didn't get me as far as it was what I where I wanted to get this because these brackets that I got at Home Depot which were also very cost effective well these smaller ones were like 350 these were like 450 you know so the bigger ones I decided I've decided to use and they're all white this was basically they had a few different colors in this but none of them the black I figured maybe white will work I decided no after getting it in here so I just had to spray painted black so I was doing that as you already saw and I've gotten like half of them done but that's another thing that needs finishing up is at least one of these over here was was not in the best shape in its path some more work to do I've probably just want to put another day into this so that'll be coming this next week thank you guys those so much for watching this Paul's Hardware work log in the garage garage work log video I really hope you've enjoyed it I'm getting really close to being kind of completed on this stage of the the whole journey which I really wanted to get done by the end of this year and I'm pretty happy I'll be able to do pretty happy with this new color to let me know let me know in the comments guys what you think of the new color and how happy you're gonna be then I'm actually gonna have some coverings for these plugs here with these these plugs are permanent these cords here anyway thanks for watching this video subscribe to my channel if you're not already and hit the like button if you enjoyed it looking forward to these shelves getting in and we'll see you very soon on the next pulse hungry
