"Did I mention this door was installed in 1992?" lol
love it!
Geeds' Garage I forgot, when was it installed?
yea, that statement times 5 cracked me up. good job, lol
Hahahaha! Did he say the garage doors were installed in 1992??? Yup that’s what I heard too. Guess they didn’t hear him say that. Listen up next time.... lol
Wow. Can't believe the negative comments you got about your garage door insulation. You did a great job on it. Anyway, I love your videos. Stay positive and keep up the good work. 👏👏👏
It's your channel if people don't like the content you put up then they can just not watch. Keep up the good work
I have been doing CZcams for over 9 years, and sadly, when it comes to trolls, every Creator has them. Just ignore them. Once you feed them..... They keep coming back...
I don’t feed into them to much anymore like when I first started. But every now and then I like to have a little fun with them, like this video.
Your Rant skills are a natural talent (more please)! Always like a good rant & sarcasm is the icing on the cake!
Your garage your modifications it's so simple a concept. A man's garage is sacred space, f&%K off trolls!
1992 was a very good year!
Thanks for a great video!
Ignore them Mark, not worth your time. Looks like your going to get quite a bit of snow Tuesday. Looking forward to seeing your videos. 😎👍🎥
We have been getting snow every day and it looks like it will be lasting another week.
My wife and I are still laughing about the 1992! Great video!
Your garage door looks like it goes up and down easily and evenly.... look forward to each new video! 👍😊👍
Thank you this video on insulation of Your garage door. Makes it easier for most of us to do the job. Thanks again Mark.
Everyone is an expert on the internet!
Well, because of your first video, I'm going to insulate my doors. Thank you for sharing your work.
I just did my garage exactly the way u did yours June 2020. And all the neighbors in this street saw me doing it and NOW THEY r doing. The Exact same way. Its not worth it to even answer the haters comments. Great job.
I know bad comments can be a kick in the gut, but who cares, most people are just complainers, pay them no mind.
"my door my house, don't care..." lol I love your idea! Don't listen to the nay sayers."did I mention it was installed in 1992?" lol great video and yes I watched the 1st one. why so many critics? Thanks I will try this if I get the time and money.
I like your door Mark. Love the Sarcasm.
Just watch part 2 , didn’t know this was out there. I watch the first one about ,what ,2 years ago . Let me say this: it was a great idea. I ordered panels from Amazon and they work great. Easy to install, $160 for 2 garage doors. Well worth the money. I also had the garage attic blown insulation 3ft thickness. Warm in winter and cool in the summer.😎 unfortunately you can’t please everyone. I would like to call it for what it is with these negative people but I’m trying to be somewhat nice here🤬 I’m so glad I seen your first video because it saved me so much money instead of buying insulated doors. I have learned so much from your videos 👍 thank you for all you do sir. You and Ms Vickie are true Patriots 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Watched pt 1 and immediately concluded that this is how im doing mine! Saving the video also! Great information and thank you..
I just finished doing the insulation on my garage door. The warmth difference this makes is more than worth the time to do it. I appreciate you sharing your project with the rest of us DIYers.
thanks mine installed 1990.insulated 7years ago. added weight for sure. no opener manualy operated .so far no issues. love the vids.thanks for your time.
I was about to drop $200+ buying kits to do this. Thanks for saving me some $$$!!! Don’t mind the haters and keep up the great work.
I was in grade school in 1992, it was a very good year! I can't wait to insulate my garage. Thanks for a great video!
Great job Mark !! I did the same to my garage door 12 yrs ago and I am so glad I did. Never had no problems with it either ! Use it about 6 times a day !
It’s a good thing you didn’t put the green side out. There’s no telling how the haters would of responded haha Nice job!
Kirt Dickley. I think your garage door insulation was great. I don't see why anyone would complain. Many people just like to complain and make themselves more important. Garage door installer companies are probably jealous because you show a homeowner how to do it for $75, and a company would probably charge $500 or more to do it. I've been planning on insulating my garage for years. Now that I've been retired for a couple years and finally have been getting a few things done, I'm going to insulate my garage, thanks to you. Great you tube class.
The sarcasm is funny. I will be doing that to our garage. It is heated by baseboard heat and I wouldn't be surprised if our garage door was installed when it was built - 1963! The garage never gets below 35 degrees. I look forward to it being much warmer and allowing the baseboard heat to be more effective. Thanks for both videos.
I have been thinking of insulating my garage door and was watching your first video. It seemed doable. Although my door is a different type of door I found your video inspiring as a home owner. I still plan on doing my doors to. My doors are the rollup style which makes it a little bit harder to do. As for the weight you added to your door. If the door opener and springs are install right. there should be no issues with it. I have installed a 1/4hp on a 10 foot wooden door and was told that it was way too light of an opener. I told them if the spring or springs were setup right it shouldn't matter on the size of the opener. It has been working for the better part of 20 years now. and the only problem I have had was the rollers weren't lubed often enough. So kudos to you and keep up the good videos and keep calling the negative commenters out for the fools they are.
Loved your video. Got some good information and a chuckle to boot. I’m a 73 year old senior. I insulated my double door garage doors and find it quiet and brighter with a white plastic washable coating . My neighbor told me I added 50 pounds, and should get the door balanced. I think it operates just fine. Maybe I’ll find out how to level it on my own. It’s quiet. My door bakes all summer long in the heat. I see a marked improvement in the interior. You don’t need an insulated garage to see a difference. Thanks. Helene
After I watched your installation video, I decided to insulate my garage door on my 6 month old house. I got the material in January 2019, did not get time to install the insulation until then end of March ! No issues of additional weight, made a huge difference in "R" values both in winter and summer temperatures. I'm glad I did it after watching your previous video. Thanks for the nice video. All those Garage door installers will go against this advise because they want to protect their business. Most garage door openers today are capable of lifting additional few pounds with no adjustments needed.
THE MAN THAT DOES THE PAYING
DOES THE SAYING 😂
Great project, AWESOME FOLLOW UP 😂
I LOVE YOUR STYLE!!!
I love your sarcasm, it put a smile on my face. It’s your house, your garage door, who gives a rats ass what people think about the insulation. You did a great job which got me thinking I should do mine. Thanks for the video, I for one appreciate it. After watching the installation and this one I’m now subscribed. 👌
Do not let negative comments bother you. I think you did a great job, and I thank you for sharing your experience with us.
That’s awesome. I watched your first video and plan on doing the same to my door. The weight is negligible. I’m actually surprised that people went goofy over it. It’s foam.....not bricks.
Well done sir. I’m glad the door is working for you.
Those modifications only affects garage doors installed before 1992. Doors installed in 1992 doors are good to go. 😂
Are there grand-father clauses for garage door modifications??? LOL 🤣
Gold!
Roll Tide Bubba!! That's a good one.😂😂
Thank you for the feedback. First time I want to subscribe to a channel. Your straightforwardness is so refreshing! Wish you entered politics and fight for us plain folks.
Thank you for the update. Don't let negative comments get to you. Great content.
You Sir Are My Kind Of Guy !! Common Sense And Ingenuity Will Carry The Day ; Some Times You Have To Do The BEST You Can With What You Have Or Can Afford ; AND You Tell IT Like IT IS !! THANK YOU !!!! Your Video Helped Me Make Up My Mind On How To Insulate My Door ; I Will Do Exactly What You Did !!! THANK YOU !!!!!
I’ve been worried because of all the people telling me how many problems i was going t have, but now thanks to you, I think I will also take my chances! 👍🍺
Excuse me, but did you say when it was installed ? LMAO !!!
Mark, you can't fix Stupid !!!
Don't let them get to Ya !!!
Very useful DIY garage door insulation. I'm going to do exact same to mine to keep temps down. Thanks
I love your sarcasm in this video. It is hilarious. You did great work and you know it...
Live in Florida and was researching how to go about insulating my garage door. (opposite of you...to keep the heat OUT for me) That said, your update had me in stitches!!! "did I mention the door was installed in 1992"....bwahahaha!! Love it. Listen, great job! Thanks for taking the time to show me how to do it. Best of luck to you and yours.
I'm glad you liked the update video, I had a lot of fun making it.
Hey brother, don't listen to those haters. What matters is that you're happy with it and from the look of how the temperatures are performing inside I'd say you did a bang up job! I'm looking to do the same for my garage as well. Keep up the good work!
Thank thank thank you for taking the time I add these bids. And I like how you addressed the haters. Many of the comments could have been received, but people offer opinions up on garbage can lids... go figure.
I enjoy your channel and am sorry people can be so ignorant and rude. Your garage doors perfect! I appreciate your snow plowing skills as we have no plow service for our long 1/4 mile country driveway except my ATV and a plow blade and at 65 in the Lake Tahoe Area of California I wish we had your service! I can watch and learn! Thanks
Going to use your method to insulate my door, which was installed in 96. Thank you for making the videos!
It's nice that you are able to do this yourself. Thank you for sharing your know how.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for these garage door insulation videos. I live in the deep south and I have got to do something about the temps in my garage
WOW...people love to criticize. I live in Texas. The dang sun sets and shines on my garage door for the last 3 hours of the day. being in the garage is miserable. I am going to do the EXACT same thing you did because it seems to be the most efficient way of doing it. Thanks man!!!
My house was built in 1969. Our house is in NW Louisiana. It was originally a car port wide enough to park three Prius side by side. It has the traditional storage/tool shed at the far side. When we bought the house someone had already converted the car port to a garage. So, I have a brick interior. The garage is 19 feet deep. From watching your video your door is 4 panels wide. Mine is 6 panels wide with windows at the top. It is one big door! The vertical frame to the door cracked on one side pulling a hinge out. I had a garage door company repair that. They added a big channel to the door on that side. Nothing was added to the door on the opposite side to balance it. I have considered doing the same thing you have done. It is too humid and too cold in the winter to do anything out there. In summer it too humid and too hot in the garage. You can feel the temperature change in the house when the garage door is open on very cold days and very hot days. Have you done anything on the vertical sides of the garage door to get a better seal? Mine has a gaps near the bottom of the door on the vertical sides large enough that rodents can squeeze in. It does have the large rubber seal on the bottom.
Say what you want. It's still a hell of a lot cheaper than buying an insulated door. Our garage in Alberta where it gets very cold is exactly the same as yours. I am planning to install insulation on our door. I was looking at the rolled up stuff but I like what you have done with yours. My daughter bought this house two years ago and it's completely insulated except for the door. Maybe the previous owner couldn't afford an insulated door. My daughter has been holding off hoping to save enough to buy a new door but it's very expensive. So I volunteered to insulate it for her. Thanks for the video. It doesn't matter what you post. There's always some armchair expert that knows better.
I liked your video. Plus if you insulated,it’s more comfortable to work in. AND you not opening everyday several times a day. I needed this .
My door, my house, dont care. Love it!👏👏👏
We love it! It made HUGE difference in the temperature of our garage that gets the HOT Arizona sun in the afternoon. Our neighbors were so impressed that they are going to do it too.
did you use the 2" board and on what side did you place the foil? I live in Orlando and other videos I watch show the foil side towards the front of the garage
I'm very late here. My door has been up since 1994 and I thought this was a pretty good idea. I personally don't care what people think. Here's the thing, it sucks you felt the need to explain yourself. They don't pay the bills, they don't get a say. I appreciate you taking the time to put up a DIY video on this project. Good job on the rant though. I thoroughly enjoyed your videos.
Thank you, I really did have a lot of fun making this video.
Great video…this is a great parts 1 and 2. I have heat from the morning sun and plan to do the same as you have done. Once the sun hits the garage door it’s like the oven was turned on and the heat is there all day. I’m a self do’er also to save the labor cost. Ignore the hatred…Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much for making this video. I'll like todo that to my garage also. Keep on posting!
DUDE. You're hysterical! I just found this video researching door insulation for a really old cabin in Nc. I love how you have zero fks for people's silly comments. It's been three years. You should really drive them up the wall and do a long term follow up video lol!! When you stood by the door and it didn't move I was crying laughing!! Keep up the good videos. Steve in Nc.
Enjoy your warm garage brother
Majority of Garage door installers don't install the door right in the first place, as someone who used to do it for a living, had to fix many a bad door install. Your insulation job looked just fine to me and it worked out! As for the springs? Someone go and try replacing old springs on an old door with new ones and tell me how you get on...........lol
Great job on the insulation :)
I still want another update on the temperatures inside the garage at height of the summer. You've inspired me to do this to my garage door. Love the videos!
If we did not understand anything else. We know that that door was made in 1992 for sure.🇺🇸👏
You did a fantastic fantastic job. The bad comments are just from people who didn’t make money off you. The door and opener will probably be there for another 30 years. Looks bad ass though and I’m sure the insulation is serving it’s purpose way more than what anyone expected. Please keep posting your DIY projects because it’s innovators like you who help others like us learn or innovate on our own .Thank You so much for sharing. Please don’t stop sharing your knowledge.
LOL, between the safety Nazis and the keyboard engineers you can’t win. That door is perfectly balanced. The exact same door was probably available in both insulated and non insulated versions, so anyone grumbling about 15 pounds is ridiculous. Will it reduce spring and opener life? Yeah, maybe by 5 minutes. The only safety checks I always recommend on coil spring doors is to make sure there is a cable run through the spring to keep it captive when it breaks. It’s an extra 10 bucks that a lot of installers skip to save $10, but I have seen springs shatter windshields when they break, and they all break eventually. The second is just to inspect cables occasionally. Those are the only failures that really represent a hazard, the rest are just nuisances You may well already have the safety cables, I couldn’t tell. You did an excellent job and made good material choices. Ignore the haters and carry on.
Ignore the hate. Great project. Your home, your solutions, your benefit.
Love the rant! So appropriate. Forget the idiots. You did a very well done, informative video. We who live in older homes do what we can with what we have.
I hear that 1992 was a great year for garage doors 😀. I need to insulate mine too. Thanks for your videos and keep up them coming 👍
Your door was installed correctly to begin with, did the same thing with my door and had problems because the install was not done right, after fixing the install problems it works fine.
Mark, I saw your first video and have no negative comments. I do have a suggestion though. I did this to my garage door a few years ago and I watched several CZcams videos before I did it and the method I decided to go with is the 1/2 inch styrofoam like you used but I got it with silver on one side and nothing on the other side so it's white. The method I watched and copied was to cut the panels, adding 1" to the top to bottom measurement of each panel and install with the silver side towards the door, not the garage. That means you have to bend the panel and force it into the channels and what that does is cause the panel to bow out in the middle an inch or two and gives you a radiant barrier of air and the silver coating towards the door reflects the heat or cold to the outside. Not criticizing what you did. I'm sure it works fine. I did check my garage with an infrared thermometer before and after and it made a difference of about 20 degrees with the foam installed. We live in Phoenix, so the cold is not an issue but it keeps the garage relatively comfortable during the hot months. Don't pay attention to the haters!
I watched your video and you inspired me. I did what you did with the door and I can tell the difference. You earned a subscriber!
The humor is priceless and appropriate. Thanks
I watched your insulation install video then moved on to "part 2". I just want to add my 2 cent worth to the good guy comments. Please keep making your videos and try your best to IGNORE ignorance! I saw one comment that said "you can't fix stupid" and they are so so right!! When you have time, keep doing what you said you do... delete them, block them or just don't waste your time... ignore them. Your followers WITH A BRAIN will understand. Blessings to you.
You did a great job and inspired me to do mine
People just wanna sound like their door experts. Chamberlin is a good opener, Good quality. I doubt you have 15 lbs of insulation weight. The springs are ok, the type that goes above the door on an axle are better but what you have is fine for the type of door you have. Your springs are inexpensive, that's a good thing. You can always install the axle type when your springs break. And they will, all springs break after enough time. Thanks for your video.
I prefer to respond with "Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment". It insinuates that I didn't take the time to read the comment. From that point, they conclude that not only will their criticism be ignored, it was an utter waste of time for them to comment in the first place. That seems to infuriate them even more which delights me to no end. Great videos. Keep them coming.
Thanks for the video. Glad you are able to enjoy your workshop more. Plan to do mine just like yours.
I love it, did the same thing to mine, I have some gaps around the sides and I could have done a better job of filling the spaces in the door because I had to make the panel small enough to get it in. I should have cut small strips and put in the channels first before fitting the panels. I might fill the channels where I couldn't get foam board in with spray foam. It's an improvement from a plain metal door. The door is heavier and I will probably change out to higher capacity springs, will have to go through the weight calculation with a scale I guess.
Good for you for addressing the sad, miserable people that think it's their purpose in life to belittle others. It's a good video and you did a great job. Hey, screw em if they don't like it. It's your garage, your video and your channel. Do what you want!
Hey bud, you showed a lot more restraint than I could have. Great video.
Got half my door done tonight based on your diy vid. Loved your vid so thank you and sorry about all the noise. Some of those comments were nuts.
Oh and if you plan to keep hauling sheets of styrofoam you definitely should upgrade to a 3/4 ton dually with a diesel. 😏
After you are done make sure you can open the door by hand just in case the power goes out.
Great Job, inspired me to do my garage door ! 🌟 1992 ? 🌟 YES, 1992 💚 Thanks
🤟1992, your garage and your project. Thanks for sharing!!
Nice job, Mark!
i have been wanting to do this to my garage door, thanks for making the video
I liked the install video and your follow up. It is a shame you felt the need for making the second one, the rant. People are crazy which is OK, but they have become mean too, which isn't OK. Your fix wouldn't work on my doors, but gave me some other ideas. My problem is the attic and one outside wall aren't insulated, as well as the two short walls on each side of the door. You gave me some ideas and I appreciate your sharing the videos with us, Thanks.
I saw your first video and loved it but this one made me subscribe 😂🤣😂 that 1992 kept me laughing.
Way to go I love your humor!
Thanks for watching and subscribing, I had a lot of fun making the video.
I have an attached garage. The house was built in 2003. It has drywall throughout. I looked in the crawlspace and no insulation in walls but the two facing the interior of the house. My only option is spray foam the one exterior wall and ceiling. I will use your technique doing the garage door.
I am laughing my gut off! Thank you for making this follow up video for all this know it all people that love to tell other people what to do with their property!! Love it 1992!!
it's a good idea to replace the springs. your one is twisted. ace or true value sell them.,like $20 each. i had one broke and sounded like a shotgun went off. they are colored on each end so you use the right one. i've insulated mine 10 years ago and no problems. keeps noise down from outside also. i used the pink foam and painted it white.
My takeaway : 15 pounds of insulation weight added & kept the same springs, 3:17 how easy you lift that up shows just what I NEEDED to start on my project and SAVE $300 on Torsion spring replacement can't thank you enough for solving my future spring worry- worry gone.
CZcams has an abundance of haters that love nothing more than making negative comments. Ignore them, and enjoy your garage door, which was installed in 1992. Lol!
It amazes me that you could do a video of a beautiful sunset, and still get stupid comments!
Hey ..When was that door installed anyway.. Only kidding .. ..great job and I will probably do this to mine now that I see how well it works..don't pay any attention to the assholes
Wait, what year was it installed again?
What!!! You knew what you were doing? Go figure.
Well done, Mark! I plan on replacing the tattered insulation on my door and will be following your lead.
Double thumbs up on your rant; 1992 we roared. You did excellent on insulating the door and your rant, take a well deserved bow.
I love the follow up....great job.....like he said 1992...
Great to hear what you had to say that you don't care what people say about your household. Love to know your concern is helping your household.
Ignore the negativity. Don’t even comment on it. I enjoyed your video. Need to do that at my house.
Haters are going to hate no matter what you say or do. A youtuber Abraham Hicks said " On our tombstones we should all write: " I tried to make you happy! But, I failed. Because only YOU can make YOU happpy!" Miserable people have nothing better to do than look for negative instead of the positive. You motivated me!! I am going to insulate my garage door asap and I am building a shed that will have a garage door and I am going to save money by buying a non-insulated door and use your method to insulate it!! Thank you
Dude!!! I did the exact same insulation job on my garage door. My door looks exactly like yours, I put in insulation because of the heat it puts off. Just that cooled off my entire house during the summer months. I have no complaints only observation, the insulation job works incredibly well. People on the internet are mean because nobody knows who they are so they can say anything they want without showing face. Good job mate wished I saw your vid before I did mine.
Wait until they start ranting about that foam being too heavy to haul in your truck 😂😂😂😂
Yeah, you better add 10 more psi to your tires!
I did the same thing on my garage door and it works just fine. Oh did I say it was installed in 1996. You did a good job.
Some people just have complain about something and will nit pick about anything. I think you did a excellent job and I'm looking forward to doing the same to the door in my garage.
