I know, I know.... I have a few unfinished projects that I need to finish like the e36 M3, e46 M3, 335d and soon I'll be starting on a e30 M3. I promise, I have some videos coming soon for these cars including e90 335d gets new f80 m3 seats. The e46 M3 gets a manual swap with a special guest. The 335d gets a makeover for Mpact and more.
@@quintengould1075 excellent idea! Thanks
@@quintengould1075 for a shot I'm not sure that makes much sense, for road salt it might be fine, but when you're talking about dropping brake fluid, gas, oil, coolant, brake cleaner, carb cleaner, refrigerant. These are pretty violent chemicals and will eat away at the paint.
@@JamiesGarage1 I just had Tuff-Seal tiles put in my garage from Advanta flooring and can't recommend them enough. They're crazy durable and have just enough give so standing or laying on the floor isn't as hard on your back. They're solid rubber and meant to have forklifts driven over them, water tight, can get them in a ton of colors and you can actually work on them unlike swisstraks which are pretty much all for looks. As far as cabinets goes, a buddy of mine had Moduline cabinets put in his garage and those things are sweet. It's almost like having one big continuous snapon tool box they're that nice.
@@Machining5 I’ll look into both suggestions. Thanks! 👊
You didn't "fire" yourself. You upgraded yourself. If that's the definition of firing, I Will love to be on that unemployment line. Lol.
Congrats on the new property. The “Jack Ass Garage” will soon be world class I’m sure. Polished and stained concrete is a good look versus epoxy. Always enjoy your videos!
“Jack ass garage” 😂 😆
Totally acceptable, the channel is gonna grow a lot from now on. Keep up with the vids
In regards to ideas for the garage, I'd recommend learning from Charles's (Humble Mechanic) "mistake" with his flooring; he went with a certain type of flake on his floor, which has made it rather difficult for him to recover small (off colour) nuts and bolts that have been dropped on the floor as they've become really hard to see on the flake pattern. He's probably already told you this in person, but just to be on the safe side.
I actually talked to Charles about this very thing before. That’s why I don’t use flakes at my shop. 👍🏻
Good to see your hard work paying off! Keep up the good work!!! God Bless you!
Thanks!
Be a family man. Take care of the business. Share the fun with us later when there's time. Keep up the great vids! Also, please keep that outro
Congratulations!. Looking forward to seeing things completed.
Build a central vacuum with a retractable hose for use anywhere in thr garage its not that complicated & doesnt take much space dont forget a strong vaccum to go with it.
Matt at Obsessed Garage does garage builds and he's used Swisstrax for flooring solutions. He's on KZhead and has a great online store. Their HQ is in Lady Lake, FL not too far from Sarasota. Matt has BMWs too!
Good luck man, can't wait to see it all come together.
Yes!!! More shop builds and updates and construction and stuff around in your new shop!! I love you see more part 2 to 10 whatever, I'll keep watchin' cheers!! Josh.
Congratulations on the new house and shop. I know when you start build anything it is going to be mint ! I look forward to seeing the progress and future videos. Thanks for all you guys hard work and effort that y’all put into making the best content ever. They are always educational and informative and freaking funny AF.
Dude…so excited for the next chapter of Jamie’s Garage! I dig watching your content and that ‘can do’ attitude! So stoked that you & your Pops are working together too. Best of luck brother! 👊🏼
That's awesome man! You deserve all the success you've accomplished Jamie. Super happy for you and your family. That just goes to show what honest, quality workmanship will get you. Mix that with your integrity and boom! Success story. Congratulations man!
Wow im very happy for you! Wish you so much power for this project! 💪😊
Holy lord that's amazing! I've always wanted a house with a dope garage. Can't wait to see the build up! Congrats!
That garage is insanely awesome. Guess Project Farm needs to do some sledgehammer testing!
Wow, great workshop. Congrats!
Congratulations and good Luck! Great Video, Thank you and greetings from Germany
Living the dream my dude! Congrats.
Congratulations Jamie !
Congrats! Looking forward to all the new content.
congrats with the house and goodluck with the renovations. Love the video’s keep up the good work.
Best of luck man love the content more power to you 👍
So dope. Happy for you.
Going back to an engine Mount video you posted yeah I can’t even imagine the work involved in just a short clip. Thanks for all you do Jamie. It’s hard being a family man and putting in so many hours working, I understand.
The hammer breaking is why I buy the yellow handled ones from harbor freight and either use as is or cut to length. Holds up to smashing rocks
For Garage layout may be a good idea if you could do some collaboration with Matt Moreman from Obsessed Garage
Congrats dude!
Thanks for using the metric system for the dimensions of the garage! Really helped me and the non-US american part of your audience grasp the size!
Oh man im so excited for this progress! I love what you do!
Awesome to see the garage transformation!
Good luck man, and keep it up with the good work!
Congrats on a new chapter, really happy for you! Keep up the good work :)
Awsome Jamie. Its going to so good, cant wait to see it finish.
Congratulations on your new home and your growing business and channel.
Awesome stuff congrats on a new shop!
That's really cool. Have fun!
That’s my dream right there. Amazing. Happy for you
Congratulations🍻
I almost spill my coffee at that hammer broke scene 😁
I’m just glad I got it on camera! 😂
@@JamiesGarage1 I wish you more success. Keep it up.
Great video! Looking forward to watching the renovations on this garage as well as the car projects you have coming up. Keep up the good work 💪😎
❤️
Congrats
This will be a great beginning! Can't wait for the next update!
Polished floors and the hexagon ceiling lights. Congratulations on the growth of your channel and business!
I will you all the best for the new house. Really happy to see you with this new project :)
Congratulations and can’t wait till everything is up and running
Very big step! Keep it the good work, your vids are really great 🙂
That's SO cool! Wish you all the best! That transition at 3:15 tho :o
Swiss tracks for the garage portion and maybe tile/some form of hard flooring for the office space etc would look great
Awesome how quick your growing all down to hard work. I would polish the concrete floor easier to clean any mess love your channel 👍
Congrats on the new house!
Gz! You Got this commandor
Congrats guys! Pops must be proud
Good luck Jamie
I recommend some good temp insulation and a heat pump! Dunno if your area faces such issued, but if you set the system up to cool during the hours where electricity demand is lower, you can better ensure that its actually cool and work through any potential blackouts
Super excited to see how it turns out! Great update video
Thanks!
Wow that was a very tough cabinet to brake that sledge hammer glad you did not get hurt
Awesome, can't wait to see what content you and your dad will make with the new location! Personally I'm hoping for some Audi content, like the A4 B8. But the BMW content has been great so far! Really rooting for you over here, I always crack a big smile every time there's something new from you guys!
Awesome 👌
Congratulations with the property.
Vinyl tile, with the right glue it can be repaired if it gets damaged, can have a nonslip rating and also it’s easy to clean and find bolts on the floor if you get a bright colour.
Love your videos, this is a step in the right direction :)
this is so exciting!!!!
You should do vlogs showing what you’ve done over time cause that would be so awesome to see
That’s awesome Jamie, proud of you city slicker😂
😂 thanks!
Could we see a full restoration on the new garage also like the step progress of everything you do
I remember the day I saw in my sub list a video of you talking about leaving the job…. I was a sub for a long time, and since then you’ve grown immensely. 💪
Thanks for sticking around! ✊
Congrats on all your success!!!!!!
Thank you!
YES! This is great! The only thing this channel was lacking was the content itself, and if there will be more it's going to be perfect.
I'm stoked to see this! More JG = More Better!
Hope you can do more vids with the new location
This is gonna be sick.
I think you made a good choice and I’ve been subscribed from 80k subs and I love to see the channel grow more and more day by day. And also I think you should go with detailing led lights around the garage and you should also go with the cheapest flooring possible to get by until you can get some epoxy
Good for you bud! Happy to see your success over the years!!
Thanks dude 🤘
Polishing the concrete is really the best option. Epoxy will peel due to hot tires, etc. polished concrete is resistant to spills and extreme durable.
I like these like Matt type thing for my garage floor it’s like foam and it’s a lot better than laying in concrete
My ideas since you asked: Insulate everything. Wire outlets everywhere. At least 2 240V outlets. Security camera system. Make sure you aren’t taking out load bearing walls.
I’m planning on putting Swisstrax flooring and I’m interested to hear or see your plans for your garage flooring or if you’re going to leave it alone. 🤷🏻♂️ Love you vids tho! Can’t wait to see what you come up with!
according to their Website Lowes will have a lot of Garage Floor Epoxy kits in stock tomorrow at the North East Sarasota Store
Moooore !!!!!!!!!
For flooring I highly recommend getting tuff-seal tiles from Advanta flooring. They're solid rubber tiles meant for driving forklifts over, meaning you can actually work on them unlike racedecks/swisstraks. So just as durable as the concrete floor but has a little give making standing or laying on the floor a bit more pleasant.
I ordered a sample. Thanks for the recommendation 👊
@@JamiesGarage1 I'm sure you'll like them. They're a bit pricy but I think they are well worth it, especially given how durable they are. Plus they're made in the USA which is a big deal in my book.
Do Swiss tracks for the floor!!!
What about those interlocking garage/shop floor systems? They're waterproof and chemical resistant. What they used in a lot of the shops the show overhauling was filmed. Theres tons of designes now
Jamie long time buddy ole pal! Looking forward to all the new house videos! My wife will even watch now lol.
Tim! Hey dude, you’re not too far. Come visit anytime
@@JamiesGarage1 I’ve thought about it many times. We’ll have to meet up in not too distant future!
Good luck am very exciting
Ask AMMO NYC for some design inputs
Congrats on the knew house! Also, since when did you get so strong. You absolutely destroyed that sludge hammer.
Strong like bull 💪
You're busy in Sarasota? Imagine in Miami. It's insane. That's where I operate from, and haven't had much of a life lately myself.
should make a podcast id love to listen to that shop talk with yayyyymieeee
bruh Your new garage has more square footage than my whole house 😳 but fr tho good job, cant wait to see the new videos filmed in there.
Let's gooooo. Plenty of space for a collab with M539 Restorations 😬
A Scirocco would look real nice in there......
notification squad, Have a nice weekend!🔥🔥🔥
You too Sir.
Congratulations Jamie on getting fired by Jamie 🤣 I mean on your new house!! 🥳 I only have one question, how old was the sledgehammer?
The two pack epoxy is available, from ZAR🤣🤣🤣 As for power, solar battery and also think of using your pool as a heatsink. This will save you money when used with a heat exchanger to HVAC the workshop and offices. Combined with the Solar power battery system you can save thousands and with the right systems even have free electricity. I designed a special two tier workspace that wrapped around a two post lift. It had stairs and two places for workbench on each level with a built in oil, water, diff/gearbox oil dispensers and built in drains for oil and other stuff. Also full lighting meant my team could work faster and smarter and not have to have the car go up 'n down all the time. You could use a rig like this for camera work.
this one is for the algorithm
Sonic tools!!!
Good stuff man! Can't wait to see the future of the garage! Another youtuber just restored a big garage, Gingium, might get some ideas from him? Also, do you still own your shop?? Or does someone else own it since you fired yourself?
I’m still the owner. Luckily I have an excellent team in place to take care of the shop while I’m not there
@@JamiesGarage1 Whew! Glad to hear :) hope they won't miss you too much 😉 can't wait for the next upload
I see, the channel name was foreshadowing 😆
