Just a suggestion maybe you could use a arduino micro controller with temp sensor and use this to kick in out to keep at the right temp. Can also be controlled with wifi
Advantech would have lasted ten more years.
The bottom will rot first.
It will work for a while.
I was thinking about doing something similar. I think I'm going to put down 2" Styrofoam with the foil backing. I'm going to lay down the foam with the backing down. I might install some pex into the foam. To add some radiant heat. Then, I will glue the pressure treated plywood to the foam. I think the foam will hold up from driving on. I guess we'll find out. 😂
My first home was built in 1890 and had a horse barn in the backyard that over the years was converted into a 2 car garage. The floor was wood with a crawl space underneath. Your biggest drawback is wood is flammable so there's that. But it'll hold a car if it's built to do so.
Coming over from the main channel after you mentioned this one in your last video. As someone who's been in the middle of a DIY home reno and post-fixing a collapsed garage mess for 2 and a half years this was extremely helpful and has motivated me to get rid of the leaning tower of mess in my backyard. Thanks
Definitely awesome ,,💯,, 👍
This video was filled with good, practical advice. In my youth trips to "the dump" were weekly events. My frugal New England towns didn't provide trash pickup. Once the EPA got involved with "waste management", the dumps became "transfer stations", where the town employees would transfer the trash from one spot to another spot. Thank you for your videos.
Is it too late to add the additional screws? Adding them may prolong the life of the floor. You've got a good space for the cars.
I like your practical approach. Are there any opaque coatings that can be used in order to give the floor a more uniform look?
Hey i like it! It works for your needs. Most people can give thier 2cents on what u should have done, but cant supply money to do it like they want. So use it for your projects and enjoy not being in the dust and rocks. Good work.
And if you wanted to use or incorporate the jets in the tub ( i mean, that's like 60% of the fun after all) would the electricity consumption/cost go up significantly?
Whats the monthly cost to run this like twice or 3 times a week, max heat? Ive seen a lot of cheap used former extravagant hot tubs in my area and ive discovered why; the electricity to run a big tub is very expensive! So i have an idea in the back of my head to start converting a bunch of hot tubs to propane and regular gas.
thank you!!!
I fit gas boilers to hot tubs in South Africa regularly... low water flow is a common problem because there is a steel mesh filter about 12mm diameter inside the cold water inlet fitting, it gets blocked really easily ... if you take that out and replace it with a large inline irrigation filter ( mesh or disk - around 30 micron) your water flow problems will be solved in most instances ... and use at least a 25mm inlet and outlet hoses
For the money GREAT OPTION...... I love how people think concrete just grows on trees and pours itself.... LOL
I kinda think its a decent idea.... GOOD JOB
Nice!! I needed this instruction!
Why buy it if you not a tub guy? Stupid video
Hillbilly spas
I'm going to do the same for my shop floor. I'd prefer concrete, but I'm poor.
Would you do this all over again, was it worth it?
Do those cars have engines in them?
one does one doesn't
@@letsmakeitbetter2828 and the one that does has not torn up the sheet of wood?
How is it using a jack on the wood?
its fine it even rolls really well. the osb has a substantial psi rating
@@letsmakeitbetter2828what about a car on jack stands ?could it handle it ?
Heard him say Diesels for D-cells ha-ha
good video, analysis of time/money, this/that, is, I believe worth a listen, especially for all us folk, locked up in old farm buildings, doing all kinds projects. Also good to hear from folks who don't do projects at all, just critique.
Can propane stay open n not run out? Trying to figure out what good remote starting is off propane has to be manually turned on and off
does that pump allow for water at 102 to 104F flowing through it?
Don’t think those pumps can handle hot water!
Put down a vapor stop plastic sheeting wafer board fall apart
What is the name of the flywood that ur using?
you should have put the dimpled floor under first. That would help protect the wood from water and moisture
Great video! Enyoyed watching. any suggestions on how to keep the legs from absorbing water and slowly ruining?
you've inspired me! I think I'll use a criss cross grid with PT 2x6s, and fill with crushed granite, pack down, and then lay the plywood.
This was my idea exactly!
Great video thank you
I am a PR from Amazon brand and have been following your channel. I really enjoy your content and would like to collaborate with you. How can I get in touch with you?
This is what I want to do with my future 30x30x12 shop
Would like to see a follow up. I ledt a piece of 3/4 plywood outside for 2 years with some blocks laying on it. It was surprisingly in good shape other than a little swollen
Good follow up. Didn't see this one before commenting on the first one.
Thinking of a similar idea for a 64 x 40 shop (2-32 x 40 ft in 2 stages). For your application it looked pretty good. Keep the water out of the OSB and it will last a long time. If you get a chance and this is working out; maybe a good exterior paint over the stain. Might hold up better to the oils and things working on cars, etc. and a lighter color would really brighten things up for working. I have access to crushed concrete and a compactor so thinking of a slab-less floor which would be very similar. Might go with 5/8 OSB for some heavier things; but same principle. You have a very watchable presence, no BS and getting to the point; I watched the whole thing. As soon as I see someone "unboxing" something and a long winded intro I lose interest pretty quick and start scrolling through. You get a thumbs up :)😀
what he used is the best exterior pant they carry latex is trash
Good simple method, you don't need the hole in the bottom It looks like you had some ash in there IMO Well done! Oh and don't worry about the TOTAL WASTE OF WOOD blah blah blah
I watched your 1st video and now this video. I have a question. I used a weed barrier then 4 inches of gravel. Do you think i should do a vapor barrier on top of gravel then osb? OR rake some gravel off and lay the barrier, cover it back up with gravel then osb?
not to over explain.. but maybe this will help you assess your specific needs. the idea of the vapor barrier is to keep water and moisture from coming up from the dirt and rotting the underside. The gravel allows water from the top somewhere to go and a little bit of air circulation. So... I would not put the osb directly over the moisture barrier, that is likely to trap moisture against the bottom of the osb and not breathe. that said raking gravel off, laying the barrier, and raking it back is a LOT of work... so depending on your climate, location of your structure (is it on a hill where water runs away from it , or at the bottom of a hill where water collects) the weed barrier and gravel will prevent some moisture from coming up...but if its enough has do be your educated guess based on your situation... that said since I made the videos, the prices on ground contact rated pressure treated plywood have come down dramatically. My best guess is that would be fine to use directly over your weed barrier and gravel and will likely last longer than osb in even the most ideal conditions. hope this helps
Excellent video! Simple, cheap, clean, and darned good charcoal!
Yea man. There are many ways. But this is the simplest I could come up with
TOTAL WASTE OF WOOD THAT COULD MAKE CHARCOAL !!!!!
just found your video. I am using an open carport as a picnic/bbq family sitting area. 18x40 carport. On dusty gravel right now. You think your floors will withstand weekly walking and tale/chair placements. ( no one in family weighs as much as your cars)
hey there... as I understand your goal... if it doesn't double as a garage or shed where you park anything larger than a bicycle. I would put in the little bit of extra work and cash to build a low profile deck/porch/patio. I would frame it with ground contact rated 2x4 and deck it with 5/4 deck boards... It may sound complicated but it is really a task that you and your family could knock out. I would love to do a "ground level" deck video one day but i am sure there are some out there that can steer you right
Awesome
D - student Lummox LIKEY! Just spended all my dough on a '67 Jag 420 sedan that's actually nice enough I can't let it sit outside all Winter. I looked up plywood garage floor, and here you are! Gotta see if you have a video on that "garage" thingy you built over it. Where to get one....all that sh!t. I have access to a buncha free sand for a base. Will that work over a barrier? The old-ass early 1800s house I originally grew up in hadda wooden floor in the garage, and that had to have been from the '30s-ish. '70s when we moved. Don't recall anything rotted. I'm a life-ling car guy but never a builder. Maybe the boards in that garage was some kinda fancy cedar??? Lummox not know. But Lummox try!
Thanks Lummox... and that's a rad car. I stay away from sand because it can hold moisture like ...well.. wet sand. The gravel never wicks and it allows a little airflow underneath. In my experience wood that stays wet rots... wood that can dry lives long enough to meet its demise via other methods... termites hurricanes space aliens... but not rot. Check out my other channel, between the sharks garage for all the misery of building that structure. ruclips.net/channel/UCpW-lAvp9z5Gbv4KKtbg8Ww
I did simular to you without protecting the bottom with a vaper barerer, it lasted for five years beforing rottening out in a few location, now preparing to redo, the floor , plus only used a single sheet for the entire two car floor!
Killer! Does it rain much where you are?
Thanks for posting that...people say it will never work... and those people never tried it
How did you secure each sheet together doing only 1 layer of board?
An excellent follow up to the installation video. The tip of placing the screws every foot was very helpful. Thank you for making these videos.
Thanks for the comment and also thank you for pointing out some thing I did not specify an either video. Anytime you’re attaching sheet goods plywood, OSB there’s something called a nailing schedule that needs to be referenced. You can Google that and it will show you the spacing of the fasteners on a particular product. Now my method of using this for a shed floor is unorthodox, but it should be fastened at least every foot around the edges so eight screws on each long side for screws on each short side. And in the middle aka “field”. I would recommend at least two rows of four screws each. Well, I got lazy. this is not what I did and I’m just adding screws that spot to the bubble op. There’s no reason you should not be informed on how do the job better than I did. … if you feel like
