as a ex door installer....get yourself a couple pusher springs for the rail on top that go at back of the rail to stop the door and help it coming down, always worred and have seen people install a door and then wound springs to tight to have it fly off the top rails at the back. remember too you can take a couple winds out of your springs not jump the door open so much, adding weight will help as well. want to door to sit open about half way with no weight and not spring up...once you get an opener that will help open the rest of the way but excellent job!! love the build!!
Thank you! Super helpful. I put a couple of long bolts on the back of the track to act as a stopper but I’ll check out the push springs. I may need to unwind these a little.
Did you add the struts yet? If you still have 3 or 4 struts to add that may balance the door out, install those before taking a couple quarter turns off of the springs!
Yep. And we all know he's gonna add an opener at some point, so taking a turn out of the springs will make the doors weight more neutral for the opener.
@@LonestarHawaiianthere is no such a going as a pusher spring. In my 15 years doing doors I have only heard that from a customer that just got screwed on a second spring they didn’t need. Put the struts on the door and if it dosnt balance out either you miscounted or they sent you the wrong springs. You did a great job for someone with no previous experience lol
This comment 👌 my boss opened a customers door same size and tore his arm up. Messed his back up too, people under estimate garage doors because they’re everyday functions but improperly adjusted can hurt you pretty bad. Good job dude, keep it up
Great job, you are real and showing people if you want something bad enough, you can accomplish anything with time and patience. Now you can say you did this and be proud of your accomplishment! Keep being real 😊
Awesome. It’s not the problems that define your work. It’s the innovation and problem solving, that make you are rockstar. Love the build and the new door.
Thoroughly enjoy your videos and this project, you are an inspiration to others to show them what they can actually do themselves. Cant wait to see the finished project.
You are amazing person sir… you have built this garage from the ground up… most people including myself would not attempt to do this.. and you did it all by yourself except couple extra hands… congratulations on getting this far on the garage… looks excellent… !!
OUTSTANDING PROGRESS AND PERSISTENCE! As you said, 'real life and first time DIY' - thank you for the reality and learnings you do NOT edit out - absolutely amazing progress, quality and COST SAVINGs with the DIY! keep it up - love the channel and content.
For some extra weight (not much), and as a bonus, light! On my residential garage door, I mounted led lights underneath and used an electric cord reel with the clicker removed to reel in/out every time the door opens and closes. There's a limit switch mounted to the top where the door opens to engage the light circuit. Mine is controlled by "lady A". Glad to give more details if you'd like
Epic outro! seriously!! All the RUclipsrs outro's are... well, tbh, they are boring! Ya nailed it! THAT needs to be your new norm. Your energy is contagious and I always come back for more!
i built my shop myself using block . i dry stacked it and filled the cells with cement then stuccoed it. its very solid . framed my 35 foot wide span roof 6/12 with a ridge beem frame instead of trusses
I've had both my hands shattered by old springs that broke when installing a garage door opener, and I did it for a living just a freak accident so doing this and not having experience all power to you good job
I applaud you of your work ethic your ingenuity and your cost savings ability. I’m blown away by all that you have done building this garage. I applaud you! 👍🎉👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Door looks great! You will never regret the larger door. It’s when you go small you have the “I wish I….” I also like that you show the mistakes. Keep doing that. Makes all of us know it’s good to make the mistakes and learn from them.
Roll Up Door ("Garage door") installation and service are easily the most marked up services in all of commercial/retail/industrial real estate. Oh and Pelco camera licensing fees!
The only thing I cans say is "MAGNIFICENT" What an absolute achievement. You've done a better job than any tradesman would have done at the most economical cost. Thanks for sharing. Billy J..... Queensland, Australia.
I'm building a 40x70' shop myself as well, buy yourself one of those hand held laser tape measures, TRUST ME you will not regret it when trying to measure long distances in the shop, its a life saver. Its my favorite tool for this project by far!
I was outside working on my truck for like over six hours, and by the time I was headed inside at around 11 p.m., I was cramping up like crazy. I did drink a lot of water, but I guess I needed electrolytes also, so this ad you did with LMNT is the universe telling me, "Hey, you NEED this," lol. Awesome content, man, as always!
For the interior, have you determined what you plan to use for the walls? My space I am using a PVC product so I can wash vehicles inside without worry of drywall or other surfaces. A couple of great products out there, both appear identical in specs but one was significantly cheaper in my review/purchase. Trusscore and Duramax pvc panels.
About to build in AZ with 3 doors; 18 x 14, 20 x 10, and 10 x 10. Quotes for Clopay insulated (R-18.4) window doors, Liftmaster openers, and install is $30-$35,000!!!
You did good, man. Im in the garage, Doors bissnes, now for more than 12 years, and those prices you local dealers give you are insane install and everything i will done it for 5k it should only takes 4 to 5 hours off labor
Awesome job Brother, that is a huge door and it looked great. Nice job, these overhead door are relatively simple once you get the hang of it. You are a savage for taking on this massive project but you are killin it.
Looks nice. Get those braces in ASAP, that door when open sags. My insulated door only had one, it's a big heavy door. Been installed for 20 years. A couple months ago I found a crack in the middle of one of the panels. I added 4 more braces for now. When the door gets replaced, I'll be adding a bunch more.
It’s a journey learning on the job, but your frustrations and lessons learned are why contractors, door installers etc. charge the prices they do and most people will pay them. We do 3 kinds of work: fast, cheap, high quality- you get to pick two.
Loving this series i am wanting to build a home shop and getting plenty of ideas. Just ordered the sample pack to try. I work as a mechanic and this heat is killing me. Waking up in middle of the night with cramps hopefully this will help.
Didn’t see any grease go on those rails, but then again I’m not a garage door pro. But just makes sense to add grease for less noise and smoother operation.
Looks great , I did the same one but in a 14x14 with the framed windows but my ceiling is taller so I added the high lift track to get mine closer to the ceiling and I did a side operator. Those springs sure were a workout especially those last few turns . The guy that delivered mine warned me multiple times to stay to the side of the bars because if it slips it could easily kill ya . He said his good buddy/ ex partner got hit in the head with one and is now permanently disabled . Shops looking great and congrats on almost 200k that's awesome!
You are a BADASS ! If it was easy to do, installers wouldn't charge so much to do. Revel in overcoming all that had to be overcome to achieve your TOTAL SUCCESS. MAD PROPS!
I started watching you a couple of years ago when I decided to restomod my 2009 Chevy Silverado rather than spending over $100K on a new truck. I have been disconnected for the past year for a myriad of reasons. I saw the early planning stage of your dream shop which as a retired general contractor also interested me. I spent the last 2 days binge watching the process. I am so impressed. Your construction jargon has drastically improved. LOL I do have a question about the swing of your man doors. When I was a home builder in the North East we set them as inswing like you did because of snow drifts however here in South Florida we set them as outswing do to windstorms. My question is, what is code in Texas? You have windstorms and no snow. HMMMM?
So awesome I’m alway so happy for you like it’s my own shop going up. I actually need to get my doors for my shop. I was quoted 5500. But now I think I wanna do them myself since I actually built my shop myself. I might as well do it all
Too much tension on those springs brother. I would go about 4 turns less. Too much tensions will cause them to prematurely fail and smash down on when you are driving out. I've seen cars/trucks get totalled that way.
Any preventive maintenance as far as replacing springs before they break? Ive had a residential garage door snap springs while opening and the damage caused by the door slamming down was ridiculous, I would not wanna see what a door like this would do. .
Door looks amazing and I am sure dry wall is not far off from going up. You are opening doors to some people asking you to help with shops at their house.
Outstanding job guys. Hey if you don’t mess up every once in a while it’s no fun. (At least that’s my excuse). That door looks great and the price was righteous.

Nice shop. You'll be able to put a heck of a Machine in there!
Thanks for the Info on the HD3720 door, I just priced out my 12'x14' for $3400. Thanks for the Tip. I like that better than a sliding barn door!
Great job, you are real and showing people if you want something bad enough, you can accomplish anything with time and patience. Now you can say you did this and be proud of your accomplishment! Keep being real 😊
You’re finally dried in! Big accomplishment and milestone! Congrats
Awesome. It’s not the problems that define your work. It’s the innovation and problem solving, that make you are rockstar. Love the build and the new door.
Thanks for watching the build! 🤙🏽
Thr best part of doing aaanything yourself...
Is the bragging rights to say you did it yourself, and thats worth 10x the cost of labor

Two steps forward something something... Nice work on getting that door hung bro! Shop is coming together! Getting hyped for ya!
Why when you opened the door and pulled in the OG Silverado was I so happy and emotional for you? Much love and aloha cuz!!! ❤️🤙🏽❤️
I've had both my hands shattered by old springs that broke when installing a garage door opener, and I did it for a living just a freak accident so doing this and not having experience all power to you good job
Yeah I was going to say he is brave for doing that especially with Amazon tools.
I applaud you of your work ethic your ingenuity and your cost savings ability. I’m blown away by all that you have done building this garage. I applaud you! 👍🎉👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
All of that hard work is paying off. The shop is looking great! That's a proud dad helping his son in this Texas heat. Stay hydrated, fellas!
man great work. its cool to still see someone still doing stuff on their own.
man i love how honest you are especially with your mistakes we are not perfect! i love this shop build.
Thanks for watching!

How we learn is what we take from our mistakes. Door locks amazing.
MACHINE !!!! (blame KYLE S.)

Awesome content, man, as always!
Gotta love this cold front we’re having, it was soo nice outside today
I watched like 20 videos of a guy building a garage. Love it!

A couple of great products out there, both appear identical in specs but one was significantly cheaper in my review/purchase. Trusscore and Duramax pvc panels.
I think it looks fantastic a dream build to be proud off
Slowly but surely!
About to build in AZ with 3 doors; 18 x 14, 20 x 10, and 10 x 10. Quotes for Clopay insulated (R-18.4) window doors, Liftmaster openers, and install is $30-$35,000!!!
You did good, man. Im in the garage, Doors bissnes, now for more than 12 years, and those prices you local dealers give you are insane install and everything i will done it for 5k it should only takes 4 to 5 hours off labor
winding could be done with 1/2 inch 24 inch extensions bars for automotive tools and be used for other things after instead of those one use items
It’s all coming together. Nice work!
What a dream Garage being build with your own hands that is so cool bro keep up the great videos
doing a great job on the Hawaiian Build workshop.
You're doing a great job.
A weekend with good family/friends and some good old fashioned lets find out! Great to watch...very nice door!

Happy anniversary! appreciate your videos.
Good idea going bigger with the door than needed but RVs often need at least 14’ doors because I’d a/c’s on top.
Looks great. I'm curious why you didn't install the window panel one course lower so you can see out of them.
Wow, what An Absolutely epic and Exceptionally awesome, Garage-Door installation!
Well done to you and your father (a.k.a. OG)!
Much appreciated! The OG always coming in clutch 👌🏽
Loving this series i am wanting to build a home shop and getting plenty of ideas. Just ordered the sample pack to try. I work as a mechanic and this heat is killing me. Waking up in middle of the night with cramps hopefully this will help.
Fantastic work, I look forward to your videos and the progress you are making. Best of luck all the way from Ireland.
Didn’t see any grease go on those rails, but then again I’m not a garage door pro. But just makes sense to add grease for less noise and smoother operation.
BRO….. 🤙🏼 BADASS!
Looking good. You should have put whole House Fans in the Roof to pump out the Hot air. Unless you're getting AC put in.
Looks great , I did the same one but in a 14x14 with the framed windows but my ceiling is taller so I added the high lift track to get mine closer to the ceiling and I did a side operator.

I don't care what anyone says people learn by trying and failing no one was born an expert. This is super impressive !!!
Daz how braddah Chad! Cheehoooo!!! Throwing shakas from da 801!!!
All I can say is Wow.
You are a BADASS ! If it was easy to do, installers wouldn't charge so much to do. Revel in overcoming all that had to be overcome to achieve your TOTAL SUCCESS. MAD PROPS!

What is the wind speed rating (PSF) on it? Looks great. Don't forget to oil the springs
Garage door opener!
Too much tension on those springs brother. I would go about 4 turns less. Too much tensions will cause them to prematurely fail and smash down on when you are driving out. I've seen cars/trucks get totalled that way.
Glad you got some much deserved time off. Looking forward to when you and Sarge are working on cars together in there...
Always look forward to these killer videos!
Now for the garage door opener.
It puts a smile on my face, and I love it❤️😎🙂🙂🙂👍👍
@LONESTAR HAWAIIAN
i love when you reload your nail gun i looks like a real gun
You’re doing a heck of a job man! Keep it up!
Massive door looks good🤙
Thanks for watching!
Welcome back
Any preventive maintenance as far as replacing springs before they break? Ive had a residential garage door snap springs while opening and the damage caused by the door slamming down was ridiculous, I would not wanna see what a door like this would do. .
Good job on that door!
Freaking Awesomeness dude!!!
I start my drive to Alaska next Friday..
LOVE it up there!
Keep up the humor / sarcasm!!!
😅😂
Absolutely amazing what you've been able to accomplish!!!
Congratulations on 200K. Almost.
Your doing a badazz job bro 🤙🏽
Hell ya, brother! Looking great!
I can only imagine the sense of pride, building a shop like this has given you! 🤘👊🤙🇺🇸
I hope you are using coated nails certified for treated lumber!!! The chemicals used will eat right through regular galvanized
Happy anniversary! Our 10 year is July 19
Im wondering how did you get this approved by your HOA?
Sick! I hope to build one one day too! Also going to Alaska in two weeks 🤙
I love all the osha blockers
U doing amazing
Once again you did an awesome job my guy, looking good!
You need to try LMNT sparkling water.....so yummy. Only 4 flavors (at this point) though.
Looking good
Nice work buddy!
Door looks amazing and I am sure dry wall is not far off from going up. You are opening doors to some people asking you to help with shops at their house.
Outstanding job guys. Hey if you don’t mess up every once in a while it’s no fun. (At least that’s my excuse). That door looks great and the price was righteous.
Just found your channel love it. Keep the videos coming!!!
Good job man
Great job. I am just North of you in Gunter. Fun to watch
🤙🏽🤙🏽
Wow, you da man! Well done!
Really enjoying this series. Are you going to do some insulation, it would help with Texas heat and winter.
Happy Anniversary!!!! 🤙🏽❤️🤙🏽
Looks awesome bro.
Awesome job
I can't believe you didn't rent a scissor lift for this step. It is looking amazing. Great job!!
Great Vid!
