I really want you with this garage and build series. What the best thing I can do to help you in any way???
comment for the algorithm
Caleb you should name your garage. "Blood sweat and tears factory"😭👨🏼🔧🚘
Gingium, then u have gamium, then u can have Shopium
You Should Name Your Shop Gingium Customs or Gingium Restoration & Customs or Just “The Gingium”
As soon as Gingium started grinding the grinding the floor I saw the potential in this shop. It’s gonna be amazing if he get it looking nice and pro
he will get it nice, no need for ifs or buts
He should have done that from thw beginning instead of trying to wash all the dirt off
@@joewontwice Yeah I should've. Would've saved me so much more time!
He been grinding for a nice shop. So now he gets to actually do it for once. 😆💯
@@_Gingium_ the potential that this garage holds alone is epic! Are you leasing it or renting the garage ?
Dude,
Grinding that whole garage was a feat on its own… let alone to record it and fill in the cracks, I’m surprised that you were able to do it, and make great content while doing it. Keep it up, excited to see you fix the head gasket on your eclipse!
More than just a new headgasket in store for the Eclipse ;)
Well that settles it, I'm hiring someone to do this. And mines not even that bad!
An surface cleaner attachment for the pressure washer woulda made cleaning the floor about 100x easier and faster
Let's take a moment to appreciate Audrey. She's a keeper, Caleb!
Congrats on the new shop, keep grinding! (both figuratively and literally lol)
no more grinding please (just literally lol)
I am constantly amazed at how hard you work, this is a HUGE job and not a lot of fun. Consider doing the epoxy coating with grit so the floor has some grip, that's been nice on the garages we have done. Not sure if that's an add-on product or you'd need to exchange for a different one. The owner must be stoked, you're increasing the value of their property a lot doing all this. Could you ask if they want to contribute a little to the cost? The worst they can do is say no.
They’re helping out in other ways thankfully! But we’re going to get our value out of all these improvements by the time the lease is up.
I like your profile pic
@@_Gingium_ you will for sure! Crawling around on clean epoxy flooring is so much nicer than the greasy, dusty, patchy floor that was there before 🤢. Lighting is gonna be better too like you mentioned! Keeping your cars and workplace clean is gonna be way easier. Ahhh I'm so stoked that you're redoing the flooring. This channel is gonna be transformed with a nice shop!
@@jake_bytheocean gonna be a million times easier if he drops a bolt or washer as well, though that might just be workshop trauma of my own speaking 😂
Even when it's just grinded it looks really good.
Yeah! I could’ve gotten away with just grinding and sealing the concrete. We didn’t even need epoxy 😂
“Prep is the most important part” also buys so many things throught the video due to lack of prep...
You're a huge inspiration Caleb!
So much hard work put in! Not only in the workshop but also the things we don't see.
Editing and planning takes time and effort.
Thank you for bringing us content, can't wait to see you start wrenching in your new shop! :)
This is the first video of yours I have ever seen. I 10000000% admire you for doing ALL this prep work to make sure the floor is properly prepared.. 99% of the people in this world would NOT do this. THIS is why you are a success on YT and as a business owner.. Keep up the great work!
For other people cleaning an area like this, don’t use the pressure washer wand, use a floor cleaner attachment. Infinitely easier, cleaner and more effective.
He’s right to grind before epoxy anyways though.
Yeah the pressure washer surface cleaner is better for floors and and driveways
Ya I was waiting for the floor cleaning attachment
When I did pressure washing as a pro, we used a few different surfacers and two of them had vacuum ports so we could hook up our recovery machines. Our units were 3500 psi at 5 gallons per minute and we ran the water at 200 degrees f. and used a degreasing soap that was custom mixed for us. The dirtiest two jobs I worked on were an auto shop where engines were torn down and rebuilt and a sharpening shop. On the sharpening shop we washed from the ceiling down. Much of our work was for restaurants and our more iconic locations were LA Staples Center, Dodger Stadium, and the Nokia Theater. Kitchen tile and equipment can be very dirty. Dodger stadium thought the kitchen tile grout was black. It was really gray, but the chemicals, heat, and surfacer cleaned it up. That was work I did when our washing crews needed more help, but I was also a pro painter among other trades (all at the same time), so I agree that grinding the old epoxy was best.
I'm so glad you did spend the time and effort on this floor. Just like you say, it's going to make working there so much more enjoyable! For something you're going to see and work on everyday, it's definitely worth it! Glad everything is coming together! So excited to see the new shop fully redone!
Exactly! I’m excited for the motivation I’m going to have once this place is done!
I think sometimes us viewers forget how much work goes into getting setup for videos and just the overall process of making videos. Videos like this make me appreciate your hard work even more. I couldn’t imagine myself doing this for that long. You’ve come a long way Gingium, we’re all so proud of you! Been a fan of your work for a long time and it will stay that way. I continue to tell my friends about your videos because I find them so entertaining! Thanks for everything you do man! Keep up the great work! Can’t wait to see what’s to come with the shop
this is a job people pay a LOT of money to have done.
you increased the value of this property by a lot, and i really hope the landlord gives you a discount for it.
so happy you got a new place, your content is already improving lol
I’ve been waiting months for this, so happy for you man!
Me tooooo!
1:22 perfect timing😂(Look at the light behind him)
Gingium: "I'm gonna make this floor look nice again!"
The floor: "The f*ck you are."
Wow! that's a difference, it looks amazing already. Great job Caleb!
Thank you!
Well Caleb. You finally getting a shop kicked my ass in gear to get my storefront up and running, so thanks you lol. It's looking great, can't wait to see the final product.
Glad I could help lol
I really appreciate how much effort you're putting into this. The shop will be amazing when it's done!
For anyone reading the comments, a Cyclone Dust Separator is a good alternative to the bags to keep your vacuum filters clean. I used one when I ground my concrete floors, admittedly with a 4" hand grinder, and my filter never clogged up.
Was about to post this but figured I check to see if anyone else recommended it first.
I was thinking the same thing as soon as I saw him hook up the vacuum.
Your determination is INSANE it’ll be worth it can’t wait to see it finished!
Thank YOU!
loving the shop! only thing that has me on edge is that lift that is right next to the beam and im afraid if some one isn't careful they may squish a hood or roof on it.
Yeah its dumb placement. But that's why that's the "fab" lift. Shouldn't really need to raise it that high ever besides for exhausts and such.
@@_Gingium_ get a computer chair and you're set. Most comfy setup for exhaust work on a lift
I really appreciate all the prep work you're doing. Looking forward to the finished product!
*Love it, so happy that you finally found a place, and i love the progress! Keep up the good work Caleb ♥️*
Man, I’ve been watching sense you worked in the drive way of your parents house. I’m so happy for how far you have come and to hear the pure determination in your voice at the end of this video. You’ve done fantastic things already, and proven you don’t need the best of the best to make amazing things. I can’t wait to see where the future takes you! But remember to give yourself a little break for the holidays :)
Honestly this video was more satisfying to watch than a car build. It was waited so much and to see transformation is amazing
Satisfying is the definition of understatement of the year. I was not expecting the floor to look like almost brand damn new lol
This dude appreciates everything he owns and takes good care of it makes me enjoy the videos way more
This is one of the best examples of how much work it actually is to prep a floor for a proper epoxy coat I've ever seen.
Don't discount the work you're putting in.
man this must feel so good! reminds me of when I bought my first house. clean slate to do as I want, hard to beat that feeling
Gotta respect how even he’s not the most patient guy he’s is persevering with every single task he does
Trust come caleb! Take your time. We love to see these shop renovation videos, but the quality and time you put into this shop now will reward you down the line. Take this time to do everything how you envisioned!
Gingium I just wanna say your awesome and that this shop is gonna be so cool. The amount of work your putting in is amazing and its inspiring
Heck yeah! Thank you sir!
@@_Gingium_ made my day that you replied thanks for always being a inspiration
So happy for you brother. Really looking forward to all the upcoming shenanigans and builds!
I did the RockSolid Polycuramide 2-part finish in my 2 1/2 car garage before we moved in. It took me 4 days to empty it out, clean the floor, degrease the floor, patch it, grind it, scrub it, degrease and wash it over and over and then about 1/2 day to put the finish down. The problem (at least for me) with those kits is that the color doesn't match 100% from one bag to the next - I figured it was mainly from mixing, but it could have been a difference from batch to batch from the manufacturer.
Renting that concrete grinder was a great idea - that stuff would have never adhered very well with all that embedded grease and grime. Even the smallest amount of oil or grease causes the finish to thin and bubble and dissipate. Beautiful job! All that hard work was totally worth it.
And, YOU ARE TOTALLY CORRECT about having a nice place to work improves your attitude, drive, and productivity. It makes a HUGE difference.
When I build my shop, I'm gonna have the pros do it - they can mix it in big quantities - I checked out a local group - and I've seen them use 10 gallon buckets to mix -and they have a big crew so it goes faster.
I helped my brother clean a shop many years ago. It wasn't as big but maybe a little dirtier. We had to use muratic acid to knock the grease down. You're definitely going to appreciate all this work when you're crawling on that floor working.
I know deadlines are good but to be honest we all just wanna watch your day even if that means 3 more cleaning videos ☺️ Be good to yourself and Audrey .... onwards and upwards
Satisfying indeed. Grats brotha
As someone who deals with industrial, commercial, and residential concrete grinding, coating and polishing daily, you saved yourself MAJOR headaches by grinding. Love the effort 👍
Thank you for showing everyone wrong and right way to do it and why we charge what we charge
For an epoxy floor
GARAGIUM
OR SHOPIUM?
Garagium is more unique, love that
@@_Gingium_ I was gonna say Shopium
@@remind1232 me too lol
I was thinking something along the lines of that as well
I understand it's nice to have a clean work space. I understand it's nice to have new paint and all as well. Specially for your videos. But why? If you don't own the shop, why waste your money and time? But hey, whatever. You just do you, and keep making videos. Can't wait to hear about the next build. Good luck in the new shop!
It's a tax write off, so in the bigger scheme of things it makes financial sense
Cleaning oil spills on smooth epoxy flooring is sooooo much easier. Also sweeping up is easier. Also it seals the concrete so you're not constantly making dust. Nice flooring is super important in a shop imo. Well worth it
The content hes making is gonna be that much better soo he is winning in the long term
@@MichaelBallardwormy this makes sense if true
He's gonna be a lot happier in a place that's nice and clean
that’s dedication bro, this is why i love this channel, there’s so much pride in working hard
Respect for your prep work. It's hard AF, and you care so it's even more important to you. You're setting a good example, keep up the work and the content, we all appreciate it.
Great work Caleb! Shop transformation looks great so far.
Bummer that you had so many issues with your shopvacs, but Ridgid offers a lifetime warranty on them! So hopefully you can get them warrantied and replaced.
>underestimating the amount of cleaning your place really needs
Ooooh yeah, I do it all the time.
On the bright side, you have a shop. And the good hard work will pay for itself with the amount of content. lol
Glad to see things working out for you, man. This is one of my favorite car channels. Keep it up.
Glad you’re doing it right!!! Honestly loved the video! Can’t wait to see what you’re gonna do with/in the shop!
It’s the effort and determination to clean a den actually clean the place counts. You worked hard to keep a place clean and you worked even harder to keep it clean. Good job
Kudos for the work! I was definitely feeling some secondhand stress and anxiety as the project got complicated, but props to you for keeping a cool head. And for having good friends that came ot help you!
I feel like this is the biggest transformation I’ve ever seen and it’s not even done yet! Unreal!
real time, as a "professional nerd" i highly appreciate the 2160p video. also i know its too late but regular car bondo works for filling the holes in the floor. they use it on the tract surface at either Daytona or Talladega cant recall which, to repair track damage during races.
Gingium loos like hes just hovering across the floor when he does the grinding.
This was your best video in nearly a year. I'm going to remember it being a highlight for me like starting up the Volvo, driving the 2UZ pickup for the first time, and when you started doing work on making the AWD Miata. I know this video was not as technical as all those other car videos.. but thought it was great because you put a super human effort into undoing 17 years worth of neglect. your going to take this shop back 17 years in time if not longer by the time your done doing this... and that on its own is just if not more amazing.
Also Kitties!
Your going about it the right way man, don't half ass it. You will look back at these videos after its all looking nice and be so satisfied that you took the time. A clean shop and comfortable and looking the way you want does make all the difference. No regrets! 👍 you're killing it man. I'm looking forward to seeing it all finished and your working on your first project in their..
Hey mate well done. I’ve done a lot of grinding myself in a remodel 80m2 on my hands and knees. Tip: if you don’t want your vacuums to die, use a bucket in between the grinder and vac and add a dust collector to it. It’ll grab all the heavy material and won’t kill your vacuum.
GingiHaus is coming along nicely. Getting the floor grinder was the right choice for sure
Great job, buddy! I can appreciate your vision and your desire for clean and organized. It is apparent how much effort ya’ll invested in prepping the space. I hope your back recovered!
You have the patient of a Saint. It's inspiring lol; you'll be happy you put the effort into the prep when it's all done. Good luck.
Spent a summer long ago working for a "gourmet garage" remodeler. Put lots of epoxy down on concrete. They had GIANT floor grinder with giant vacuums. The only downside was they were even harder to get into corners and next to walls, so, there was more hands and knees with a hand grinder. No need to etch when you grind it like that. Just go over it a bunch with a good vacuum.
as someone who used to refinish hardwood floors professionally, I completely relate to that back pain. man that sucks!
It must be insanely satisfying to see the color change on that floor after all that work.
Once that grinder hit it was night and day. This is going to look amazing when done. I’ve been wanting to do my floors for years and while I saw all your pain and suffering it’s inspired me to look into it even more. Just gotta wait for summer now! Looking forward to seeing the epoxy!
When you're going to be working in the same place a long time then your mental health is super important. Being comfortable in the place you're at all day is worth the work you're doing now. I'm excited to see the end result.
You guys have done an incredible job already, I've done some of this work before and it is a behemoth task... this will all be worth it in the end! A clean space will be a productive space... go hard!
I can appreciate the amount of work your putting in. Don't stress about it. You will be so much happier you did this.
So nice to finally see you got a shop. Cant wait for more videos with custom work and fabrication. So much inspiration :)
Think it’s so dope that Audrey helps you out with your projects supports your goals … she’s a keeper
Miata Mansion, an ode to the roots of this channel 🔥
This is looking amazing, keep it up man! Can't wait to see the epoxy and the walls and metal beams painted, with all the leds its going to look so good
Keep up the great work gingium! Amazing quality of work u bring to the table every time. Can’t wait to see the finish product!!!!!!
Can’t wait to see the rest of it all cleaned up. Good work man.
it's a lot of work but man it's such a huge change and I for one highly appreciate the time, work and effort you put into your shop just like you do your cars. Keep the transformation coming!
House of Ginge, Ginge HQ, Casa Gingio. I'm out of ideas, hahaha. Tons of work man! Can't wait to see it finished.
by far, one of the most satisfying portions of this video is the floor being grinded "clean"....love it!
Super pumped to see the final product!
I love how hunter is just sits while gingium is doing the work XD
yo, shout out audrey. its one thing to be motivated and slightly insane and believe in yourself and clean a garage youre renting on your own and know in your heart you can do it, but to be the friend and supporter of that crazy person is a hard task. you seem to be the rock of gingium and as a human who supports him, i support you. thanks for everything you do that we dont see!! shop looks amazing and i cant wait for the future!
never been this excited to see someone clean something that isnt a car
Omg. That floor grinder was sooooooooo satisfying.
so good watching the transformation take place
Loving this progress
I have a new appreciation for your hard work. You did awesome. I sure hope you get some rest after all of that. Super stoked to see you do more and see the potential.
I went through all of this for a single car garage - it took a ton of time, way more than i thought, but it was so worth it, I love working in it now! Keep at it, it'll be worth it
Real keen to see other videos like this man
You both did such an amazing work! I am so looking forward to the final results! :D
22:15 when you're so efficient sanding that you transcend from walking to floating
Very enjoyable, keen to see the future of this shop
Let's go man I couldn't be more proud of you, this is the start of something great and it almost brings me to tears seeing your energy change because things are finally looking up, also the I'd call the shop name the soul of ginge, and don't feel bad clickbaiting a bit, it's part of the game aslong as you're not completely lying lol,
Love the pride he takes in his work!
Don’t loose face man, you worked hard harder than we know. But, you know you made the right decision to put the effort in now. Good on you. Life lesson learned, the budget always blows.
Always wanted to see how a shop's floor gets redone, this is gonna be a go-to video to reference when I redo my garage too!
Shop name: The Pit
Great update and HUGE progress. Way to go, man!
Good shit man! I’m happy to see you back and at it, even if it is just cleaning up the shop
Nice job. 👍 I cannot believe how many people love watching deep cleaning / before and after videos. Gingium channel is back!
For what it's worth, I'm really enjoying the videos even if they're not car related. Take your time, make the shop badass. We aren't going anywhere
Love you hung in there and did it properly and really enjoyed the shop prep video 😍
Love you Caleb, thank you for all you do for us
Great work ethic and your attention to detail is spot on. Awesome work!
I feel your pain, keep it up, the results will be worth it. I used an Edco grinder a little bigger than that one to remove 3/4" of concrete from an uneven floor in my sister's house. It was only four hours of grinding though(very aggressive stones). Using an industrial vacuum designed for fine dust helped tremendously!!
The concrete grinder was so satisfying to watch
