I finally found the perfect place to build the ultimate car guy compound. Tons of car parts, tools, and a motorcycle were left behind. So today we're going to sort through everything, throw a ton of stuff away, and start cleaning things up. A new house, a new shop, and a place to build cars better than ever before... but the house has some strange secrets of it's own.

  • Cover the mirrors with packing tape then get a big nasty scraper and scrape them off the wall. Keeps most of the glass from flying around.

    The creeper door is hilarious. “Don’t mind me. Can I bring you anything on my way back through?”
  • I'm putting the finishing touches on a bathroom redo, and I'm just past the half way point on a basement remodel. I come here to relax Mr Ross and you're making me feel guilty for not working 😂. Seriously, thank you, it's great following along ~ Chuck
  • Why didn't you stick your head through the drywall and say "here's johnny" 😂😂

    Here in Central Europe, all the new toilets hang from the wall ( so the waste pipe goes into the wall, not the floor ). They come with a frame that you attach to the wall. Much easier to clean the floor. And single toilet rooms like that are a wee bit wider ( maybe 3 or inches either side ).

    New drinking game- take a shot every time JR says "toilet"...
  • Eric is a beast and what an amazing duo, you guys rock in everything you do, FYI be glad the mirrors are not on the ceiling.

    You should do a pocket instead of a barn door. Pocket doors don't go out of style. Barn doors nefinately will.

    Digging the home improvement /DIY content. Keep it up. Can’t wait did the results 🍻
  • @alansmith4734
    I am not suggesting a Pocket Door, instead of the Barn Door, but I have a story. I was at a girls house, whose dad was a home builder for the area. She had a pocket door that was getting chewed up at the bottom, because whoever installed the base trim on the outside of the wall, used brad nails that were too long and were touching the door. I taped a Hack Saw Blade onto a Yard Stick, to get into the pocket door cavity to cut off the nails.

    I add backer board along the whole section the sliding door is going to hang from. Also I would have put the extra shelving in the master bead room on the other side of the half bath toilet. Making a customs cabinet & shelf’s or just leave it open shelving for towels or cloths.

    Is the Cleveland steemer better than the Stanley?
  • @rightyouare2004
    What’s with the barn door hate? They’re a great space saver when enclosing small spaces. Yes, I know you lose a few inches on the exterior but it’s worth it.
  • @acsberean4092
    Insulate the bathroom and bedroom walls for sound insulation
  • @VanisleNSX
    I hope that this place turns out as nice as the mini house. Lots of thought & effort went into the details on that little project!
  • @ericpinkney384
    Hey Eric and John, you might want to consider installing a Japanese style toilet with features such as heated seat, heated bidet function, air dryer/ exhaust fan and internally lit. These are very popular with new reno's here in Canada and have somewhat caught on in the U.S. markets.
  • @rsporter
    Given that the wall is only holding shelves a pocket door would have been perfect. Johnson has plywood clips to stiffen up the wall. Cavity Slider make a quality pocket door as well.
