Always look forward to a Lovely Place video! That was interesting and informative Sean…thank you for sharing! As a side note Sean, please keep me and my wife in prayer. I just had emergency surgery on May 1, and will spend 6-9 days in hospital and about 8 weeks in a nursing facility recovering.
that was a lot of work, I wished I'd seen this over 10 years ago, as I couldn't think how to do what you did when I put my guard down, only for water to seep in at the edges of the door. So this spring I'll pull up my old one and try what you did. Thanks for taking the time to show us how you did it..
There’s always the right tool for the job. Lol!! Thank you, I am fighting the same issue. When my garage and parking area was poured, I think they sloped the concrete so water will go into the garage. This video helped me out tremendously! My wife and I hate the rainy season because of this. Thanks again, God bless!!
1ST time to see your channel. Nice place you have going on there. Watching you work reminded me of when I was 14. My dad told me to get a pencil, ruler, scissors and a cereal box. Cut the side out of the box, mark it, cut it then check it when you need to make a pattern. If you mess up, there is the other side of the box. And when you have like you need, turn it over and your other end is done. I turned 70 this year. Have fun and be safe.
Your dad gave you smart advice! Thanks for the comment. Sorry for the delayed response. I remember reading this and thought I commented. Have a great day!
Now see, that’s why you get paid the big bucks! What a smart idea. Sometimes you just think wow how did I not think of that. Lol thanks. Where were you at when I needed you? Ha ha.
If there is a large gap under your garage door commercial solutions can be expensive or impractical. A DIY solution is to prop a tongue-and-groove floorboard cut to the width of your garage opening and propped at 45 degrees. You can add triangular pieces at the side to block that and keep the 45 degrees. Point the "tongue" side downwards for a better seal. You simply move it aside when you want to use the garage. Either replace it in several years time when it rots or cover it with vinyl wrap to help preserve it and make it more attractive. With increased downpours this would reduce the chance of your garage being flooded. If you are expecting downpours you could put socks filled with sand underneath it for further protection.
No matter what, the Garadry is tapered, which means it is still a lump of material in the way of food traffic, which could cause tripping. What's worse is the fact that the Garadry, or others just as well made, cost over $250 smackaroos for a 1 1/4" height X 16' door way. Yes, $250, look it up. So, over the weekend, I had a client call me in a panic that an inspector was coming Monday to see if they addressed the garage door leak in one of the garages, which she forgot about. So I went there and it was a 16ft wide garage the tenants weren't there. But the door next door was open. So at least I could figure out how I was going to go about it in such a short period of time. So I figured I would call around for kiln dried pressure treated 2X4x16, which I couldn't find but one of the guys says they dry their lumber vertically when it comes in very wet. So I picked up a 2X4X16 pressure treated board, which it feel dry and I primed it and using plastic barriers I was able focus hot air on it allowing me to put 2 coats of primer on it in less than a few hours. It was completely hand able by then. So I notched it to fit, then I drilled 8 holes for 1/4" TapCons concreate screws and put the screws in the wood to be ready to screw down. Next, using a grinder, I made quick word of cleaning off the old floor paint and I used Acetone to wipe it down. The surface was perfect. Next, using a felt pen, I outlined the wood that was on the ground. Then using 5 tubes of basic construction adhesive I entered out just about 5 containers so that when I screwed down the wood, the glue was oozing out the sides. Then I screwed the wood down permanently. Now using a gloved hand and some paper towels, I would remove the ooze out and leave a nice finished line after I removed the tape. Then I tested it with a hose the same day the inspector came and signed off on it.
So you screwed a pressure treated 2x4 to the concrete next to the door? Wasn’t that a worse trip hazard? Of if you leveled or angled it down from the top of the board what did you use for that?
Great video. I just received the same one and am about to tackle it this weekend. This video definitely helps. Thank you. I have a 16ft door, they gave me one tube. Do you think that will do? I hope I don't have the same problem you did putting that sealant down.
Awesome. Good luck working on that today. It’s hard to say if one tube will be enough or not. As you saw my tube was dry or something was definitely not right. It was very hard to squeeze it out. Please let me know if you have any trouble with yours. I hope it all goes well.
Yo, this is RipperJack from season 2 of Tiger King. I was expecting a 10 minute video for installation of one of these, and started watching yours without looking at the length of time. I think you could make this video shorter, and it would be fine. Maybe do some shorts in 5 parts for a total of 10 minutes. However, I absolutely love that you took the time to describe, and show every detail of this installation. It's very rare these days with these types of videos. TT has ruined the real experience of these types of videos because it has to be done in 3 minutes. Kudos to you for being detailed, people like me can really appreciate that. Where are you located? Can I give you some advice on your homestead? We have a 65 acre homestead here and the work is endless it seems. Here's my suggestion, start growing mushrooms at your place. You'll need to setup another building, but you'll thank me in a couple of years, and they'll pay for themselves in a couple of years, and you'll be helping people get healthy. Take care, God Bless, Ripper
Hey Ripper, I just saw your comment. Yes I would love to get more advice from you. Mushrooms definitely interest me. Lol you’re right man. That was a long video. I certainly had no idea. It would take me that long but we got it done and I appreciate the compliments you take care of yourself. Please keep in touch.
@@TheLovelyPlace FYI, I installed a new piece on my 1200 sqft shop, because I'm setting up my indoor mushroom grow in that shop 1st. I currently have some of our farming equipment in that shop, but moving it to our 2400 sqft shop that is being used for a storage facility. You gave me some some ideas on how to seal mine, and I appreciate it! Regarding mushrooms, if you have a spare 4x8 foot space in your shop, you could build a room with a ventilation system, and install a small window unit AC for that small room, and setup a small 4x8 grow room to start out with for growing some gourmet mushrooms. If you have a mulching unit to attach to your tractor, you can use that to make your substrate. I'm located in Oklahoma, and we have 40 acres of trees, and horses, so I have endless supplies for my substrate for shrooms. I recently posted a video on my channel with my 1st 4x8 grow tent in my house. Putting it in my shop to begin with would have been a better option, but I wasn't sure if I wanted to go full out on shrooms at the time, but it's a no brainer now, especially since I have the space. I would encourage you to look into lions mane or turkey tail mushrooms as you'll be able to sell endless amounts of them, fresh or dehydrated. Feel free to reach out to me, my contact info is in my profile.
Thanks for the question. So far so good. The sealant has held perfectly and I never added any more. As for the water issue. Very soon after installing this I also had gutters put up. I have no water issues at all but I give a lot of that credit to now having gutters to take the water away from the structure. I hope this info was helpful for you. Have a good weekend.
You can blame the concrete guy. Yes. But the guy who built the garage never made the grade high enough Now you're forced to use shit to fix the problem
Unfortunately the concrete guys did a horrible job. You should have never had to do all that grinding. Let me know who they are, so that I won’t hire them🤪. kiddos to your hard work!
At least the guarantee that was made ended up being true. They said they guaranteed it would crack and it did. Lol. It’s all good. We will just try to make the best of what we have at this point. I appreciate your comment and yess it was a bit of a mess. Never ending work.

As a side note Sean, please keep me and my wife in prayer. I just had emergency surgery on May 1, and will spend 6-9 days in hospital and about 8 weeks in a nursing facility recovering.
Marty, I will send my prayers for you and your wife right now! I wish you a speedy recovery and God’s continued blessings. Be well.

Instead of cutting the seal in shape you should of cut the bottom of the metal garage door track so the seal fits right under without cutting it
Now see, that’s why you get paid the big bucks! What a smart idea. Sometimes you just think wow how did I not think of that. Lol thanks. Where were you at when I needed you? Ha ha.
@@TheLovelyPlace I enjoy your content, keep it up👍
Thanks for your great video and well done. Your detailed explanations inspired me to install my own garage door seal. God bless you.
Ok ok im jealous.i wish I had half the talent you have.man you are good.great video👌
You are too kind sir. I have so much to learn. As long as we try and do t give up, that is what matters most. God bless!

@@jsprunger6246 awesome. Good luck. Learn from my mistakes. lol. There is a link in the description I think to the Amazon page.
Great video

@TheLovelyPlace will do. Thank you. It rained all day so maybe tomorrow can get to it.
Thanks for sharing! Do you have any insight on what threshold/seals can be used for the sides of the garage as well?
I need to do this job, or course I would wind up getting a adhesive tube that's so hard to work with like yours. 🤣
Mine was horrible! I should’ve just thrown it away and got a brand new one. It actually came with the kit.

I wonder if the tube of adhesive was warmed up, maybe in the sun, it would flow better?
Might have cut the metal door jamb at the bottom, eliminating notching.
We currently live just north of Dallas, TX. My wife and I have been looking for some land in Tennessee, any suggestions?
I have a place in mind. I'm thinking of buying it cash and want to know what it'd cost to renovate.
10mo in and wondering how waterproof it is still at near 1 year with winds? Was there enough sealant/adhesive, or did you need more?
Thanks for the question. So far so good. The sealant has held perfectly and I never added any more. As for the water issue. Very soon after installing this I also had gutters put up.

Why not put a Polish drain around the whole place. Why play around with the crap you are getting ready to use
