If you found rocks and debris in your water heater then that's a sign you need to get a whole house water filtration system put in. Plus, with a filtration system, your skin and hair will start feeling better and you won't have to use moisturizer so much anymore to keep your skin from becoming ashy.
So when you take the time to replace your water heater, you should factor in the added cost for a water filtration system with it.
Also this filtration system will prevent what you're experiencing now with your water heater. And I'd recommend you also include a UV light filter with your water filtration system to kill off viruses and bacteria in your water, as well.
It’s against code to have that (or anything) under the water heater (fire hazard). When I had my new water heater put in, I asked the guys to call me so I could lay down drycore subfloor under before they put in the new heater, and they told me it was against code. So :/
Hopefully yours doesn’t cause you problems.
(Plus mine was gas, not sure if same applies to electric if your is electric)
@@heli400 well each state has their own "codes", so who knows if where he lives if that code you're mentioning applies to where he lives or not?
Please turn on CC!
You should’ve changed out that plastic boiler drain on the water heater with a brass nipple and a female threaded ball valve with a brass male iron pipe (MIP) threaded x garden hose threaded adapter out the end so next time you have to drain it you have a full 3/4” opening for the water to drain out instead of a small 1/4” opening for the sediment in the water heater tank to clog up as it’s draining. Just turn the water off and leave the T&P valve closed and all faucets turned off to create and air lock and when you remove the plastic boiler drain very little water will come out and you can have your new valve already made up to go in. Little trick is to turn the new ball valve off and remove the handle so it doesn’t get in the way as you’re installing it. You can replace the handle once it is fully installed into the tank. This will make it where your water heater can be flushed easily yearly you prolong the life of it and be drained quickly if needed.
I love how this is more aligned with how normal people would do projects. Maybe it's just me and how I do things but the video is approachable, well explained, and well edited. Good work
Seriously. Most videos are like “now take your automatic digital automated garage floor installer and put the floor. Thanks for watching!”
@@tatocaballero3318 hahahahahha
You’re racist
Agreed, but the bondo was extra as for the thinset will do that while setting the tiles. But great video all in all .
@@anthonyabeyta7655 How wtf shut up😂
“I’m gonna feel empty if I don’t tackle this.” I feel you. There is nothing like the feeling of satisfaction and pride after giving a DIY project 100%. It looks amazing.
Awesome video, great job with tile😊
That’s what CZcams once was and still should be! Please don’t stop with this honest and high quality content :)
That garage was completely transformed - love seeing a clean garage. Well done!
I love how this is more of a normal person's guide...specially how you held that trim against the wall. I HATE when pros show all this equipment that the average person wouldn't own, and then make it sound like its not a big deal. Great video all around, Thank you!
Watched this whole video and I don't even have a garage...
NOT YET!
Same here, by the way. One can dream.
Me too ✋
same here

Me neither but there is a carport under the house. We live in South Florida (the Keys south). I did want to do something with the concrete. This might not be the way to go if a hurricane comes as it would be inundated with water. But Great job! Looks nice.
Probably one of the best diy videos I’ve seen. Thank you, sir for giving common folks the courage to tackle a project like this. Inspirational for sure.
So happy your channel came across my screen six months ago. Your commentary is concise and to the point - no extra blather! My husband and I were about to completely repair and repaint our garage including the floor. We were very hesitant to paint the floor as it is a lot of work and didn't know if it would stick or peel. I remembered your Husky video and showed my husband. We decided this was the way to go. We are very happy with the end result. Thanks, Glen
The fibers in the cement is fibermesh added to the mix of the concrete when poured, you can use a propane torch and burn them off
Yup indeed. It is fiberglass. It makes the concrete much stronger. Good to have.
Try laying or kneeling on that fiber...porcupine garage....overtime as the cement wears more gets exposed too.
I was jsut about to say the same thing.
That is correct those are micro fibers used in the mixed concrete. Usually added because of the absence of rebar, helps increase the strength of the concrete, those should have been torched off , looks as though whoever finished the garage floor missed a step
Why bother?
Your calm demeanor and practical approach make this seem like a doable project. Thank you!
O ok ok
@@Trippy_Troll ...?
I know me. Not doable.
its def doable, but I estimate around $600-800 total for all the supplies for my single garage...that's too much for my wallet =(
@@oldschoolfunkster1 ikr🤣
It's rare to watch a video this clean, no bs video for regular people. Thanks buddy. Learned a lot.
The floor looks beautiful! I never saw PVC trim before. That looks very nice and makes a big difference in the finished product.
Holy cow this guys video story telling is insanely good.
It really IS
i am a lover of sarcasm. thank you
I am a retired builder from New Hampshire area. I want to say " I Applaud " your workmanship and am very happy you have a successful chanel on here my friend. Have a Blessed Day Brother.. Big Jim Boston Strong, owner Gentleman Jim's Construction. Peace,, Amen.
What kind of builder?? Just all around??
Nice to give praise to a stranger...✌😁
Wow! I'm impressed. I didn't know such tiles existed for a garage. Great video and great results.
What an incredible job! I am trying to hone my diy skills and appreciate knowing you did the research before starting the project. You took your time (patience) which showed how much you cared about doing the job right. 👍🏼👍🏼 I admire your work ethic! I am truly inspired and impressed! Of course I'm a new subscriber! Keep up the fantastic work!!
One of the best “how to” videos ever. Clear and concise. Very well done.
I love how this is a real install, with real obstacles.
Great job!! What an amazing transformation! Love the down to earth real explanation of your process. I’d like to renew our garage floor as well and this video helped with intimidation factor. Thank you for posting this!
You are the kindest and most articulate man! Your video is most creative and helpful to your audience! I just found you and have needed your video for all of our concrete floors. Thank you does not cover how this senior citizen feels. You are highly skilled and I pray your you tube channel grows exponentially with a whirlwind pushing you forward! Have a blessed day and know how much this video means and will mean as we attack our concrete floors.
That garage looks beautiful. Thank you for affording your viewers easy instructions and guidance on the installation. I've seen a lot of DIY videos that expect its viewers to have a decent amount of knowledge beforehand. You let us beginners have a good start. Keep up the amazing work man and all the best.
Great job!!! I loved how you made this look so easy and very professional. The baseboards were a nice final tough. Thoroughly enjoyed.
Whatta genuine and honest young man. Kudos to you
Happiness is an empty garage - a fleeting moment because it’s gonna get filled up! Great job in demonstrating how this is done in a simple easy way to include trim. Thanks again for a great tutorial!
yeah, I can use the trim idea in my porch!

Thank you! Explaining why you're doing what you're doing helps a beginner DIY homeowner, and your work is so pragmatic and polished! It looks awesome, but it's reasonable for a family on a budget. Thank you for your expertise, clear instructions, and great editing.
Hello from Canada. Home improvements are a joy in life. This project being completed will make a positive difference to the experience of living with the garage. Cheers.
A world of difference! Again, the detail of adding the baseboards just speaks of what I call “your signature”; finishing touch in everything you do.
Excellent job! The rocks in your water heater are just sediment buildup from the minerals (magnesium, calcium, etc.) in the water. You can use a delimer or vinegar to get it all out.
The sacrificial rod is magnisium, that could be some of your rock.
Yep. He needs to change his anode rod. 10 minute job.
Yeah the city (most likely) is not providing rocks with their water. Thanks for commenting that, it's good for people to know.
Drain your hot water tank every 6 months. Should double it’s life span
@@aERonAUtical96 Unless the 'rocks' were the dip tube which can look and feel rock like when it disintegrates. Also a fairly easy maintenance item to fix.
Good job with this. I enjoy your narration style, as well. You’re easy to listen to and very informative. Thank you for the video.
I like your style, a very well-done video. I epoxied my garage floor years ago and it's gotten pretty beat up so I'm going to lay down the Husky tiles this time. Thanks for the clear instructions.
Brilliant! I just spent more than 2 hours cleaning my garage - sweeping dirt, cobwebs, even acorns from the floor, and cleaning the plastic storage bins. When I moved things, I saw that the floor was different colors from previous owners' paint jobs. This looks like a good solution and one that we can do ourselves. Thank you for sharing.
What does this do to the floor? Insulate it?
I've repaired and restored old homes for 25 years. Some of the things I've learned from watching this guy has made my life much easier and profitable. He's a genius.
"But you know how expensive wood is nowadays, so... I dare you.' Best LOL all day - thanks Glen!
Meanwhile the weights he used to hold up trim pieces in place have also gone up in price just like the wood lol. He probably had a couple hundred dollars of weights there with pandemic pricing.
@@TWO515TY prolly didn’t go purchase weights for this job 😁
@@martinhogan5970 lol I know, it's just funny to think about how stuff that used to be cheap or affordable is now ridiculously overpriced.
PVC tiles not cheap either..$3 pet ft last I saw. Could get decent engineered wood planks for same price
@@padraics Yes - that comment got my funny bone also. “I dare you....” LOL.
Probably one of the best videos of HOW TO. Great job and thank you for sharing.
Very nicely done! You've convinced me I should consider these or similar tikes for my garage. I was only thinking of the polyamide paint with flakes in it but your installation just looks so clean and much easier that I may do tiles. Thanks for taking time to post this.
13:50 the bane of every home improvement project ever "now that I fixed this thing I notice how much this OTHER thing needs to be fixed!"
I would love to see you do a second review of those tiles 6 months to a year after installation to see how they hold up.
Nice job man!! Looks awesome!
They buckle...
Yeah that was my only concern
@@tubesteakjohnson they do? Why??
I have them and they kinda change its shape after driving on it for a long time. I have 5 cars that rotate in and out of the garage. They’re also not strong so when you turn your wheel on the mats you will mess it up.
I love how straightforward this video was. Your cuts were great too! Nice work!
Awesome garage workshop. Great job! I also love the Husky adjustable height work table @14:07. I liked mine so much that now I bought a second for my workshop! Love the video!
Thank you for the "normal" video. We have been going round and round of what to do with our garage floor. I can even do this at the age of 71. Thanks for being so detailed also. This will help when get the project moving.
This dude has some skills. I wish he was my neighbor. I'd love to bring him a beer during his projects.
Great job! It’s a big improvement from the stained concrete floor. I was wondering about tire traction and slippage from a car moving in and out of the garage, but it seems to work well. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
love this, i am about to do this project to my garage this summer. only thing different i will do is to stagger the tile lay so that there are T intersections (like how you lay brick or pavers). little bit of extra cutting, but the T intersections should lend to improved strength and resistance to "bubbling"
i really thought it was gonna be an another epoxy garage floor but what a refreshing surprise this was!! It looks great and i hope it stays sturdy with time.
lol, epoxy crossed my mind! Only time will till on the durability. Seems like a very solid product, right now no regrets.
how to clean the dirt from this floor? a lot of grooves. With Epoxy just squeegee and all clean. And to clean old concreate he could use concrete grinder from home depot (rent). Yes, more work but in my opinion cleaning is much-much easier on epoxy.
@@DIYCreators I used a similar product in my previous home- it comes in a roll and was sold at Sam's Club. I installed it in 2004 and pulled it up in 2015 when I sold the house. It did a tremendous job keeping the floor free of oil and other automotive fluids, as I rebuilt an engine in the garage and several other automotive projects. Mildew will be an issue if moisture gets under the tiles, so sealing the front edge might be worthwhile. Looks great!
@@sergeihanush2262 Everything about this is cringe.
From not knowing what fiber reinforced concrete is, too removing the code safety beam.
Plus any fluid spill will be a nightmare to clean up, you cannot roll a tool chest easily over that texture and no guidelines to see if any of its strait.
I am only 4 min in and I've had enough facepalming for a whole week watching this.
@@411Adidas aren't you the picky one lol
I admire your professionalism and positive thinking on this project. Thank you for the motivation.
Great job! floor looks great, and I hope you enjoyed yourself while the install.
I'm looking at redoing my garage floor. This is an excellent option. Thanks for the video. It was very well done and gives me the confidence to do it myself.
What a great job! Looks absolutely terrific. I also very much like your imaginative solutions (air compresser for opening wh drain!).
Your instructions were so clear that I think I can do this project. Thanks!
As a person who installed floor there is an easier way to cut the tile along the wall, especially since there's no direction of the tile. Simply flip it over on it's back, push up to the wall, then the other end overlays the tile already on the floor. Mark on both ends (right and left edges), draw a line, cut. Flip back over and install. But both work, one is just faster.
Great point. Either way, he did a great job explaining.
Yep!
Yea people who do tile work know this rarely use a tape

This reminds me of when I was a kid and would watch DIY network all the time. Weird kid, I know, but it was always so relaxing and satisfying to watch a project come together. This gives that same energy, and I love it.
Yay, you did an amazing job. It looks fantastic. I love how you didn't cut corners and covered the entire floor. Good work sir!
Nice project! Super simple, and the result looks great!
Great job!! I epoxied my flier a few years ago and yes doing the floor makes a huge difference!
Love the way you think things through and avoid wasting time and energy on unnecessary issues or issues that can wait. Impressive.
saw my wife watching this, I immediately went to Walgreens and bought myself a back support and complain about how my back hurt so bad all night. I think Im ok for about a month or 2.
😂😂
Sham on my friend... sham on
🤣🤣🤣
We have a fairly big property, and every Sunday, my wife can usually cut the grass by the time I finish a cigar & bourbon. We make quite a team if I do say so myself. 😂
The baseboards really give it a finished and clean look. Great Job.
This was awesome to watch. Thank u for sharing your progress on video.
Looks great!
To anyone reading, as a quicker way to measure the outer tiles to the wall, you can flip them upside down (flip towards you, not sideways), push up to the wall, and then mark where they overlap the other tiles. Then when flipped back over, they'll fit perfectly. Similar method used to measure laminate flooring edges! Try it! 😁👍
They would need to mark where the tile overlaps the inside edge of the interlocking lugs. Tbh it is probably easier just measuring.
pointless for people who are doing this once in their lifetime.
And pro tilers who would actually use this method, because they will do it 50 hours a week for the rest of their life, ... they already know that
Awesome tip, thanks for that!
Good tip/reminder.
Post a video, would love to see it
Looks great, bro! The wife and I were just talking the other day about doing this to our garage since we're in the process of applying some paint to the walls, along with new shelving. Some great tips as always.
Great job! Thanks for your perseverance and dedication!
Dude I literally just bought material to do my own garage here. Was struggling at first. Checked YT to see if anyone (regular/not a pro) was doing this and this was first vid I saw. Great vid, helped me out a lot. Much appreciated
I installed carpet for nearly 30 years. It was fun watching someone else do a floor for a change. Nice work.
Pro tip- when you are sizing your edge pieces you can just flip them (end over end, not side to side), put them against the wall and mark them with your utility knife adjacent to the same spot you measured from, on the inside of the squiggly bit. No need for the tape measure or pen/marker. It just goes a bit quicker if you fiddle with less tools.
Hope you demonstrate this on your channel as it seems a timesaving method.
That's what I did installing 800sqft of LVP last week... so much faster.
There’s a reason why building code requires a non flammable garage floor.
@@hjackwingo Good point.
Sounds like a useful tip but not sure I'm following
Wow! This is a great job, very well done! I now will need to talk my wife into us putting this down for our garage flooring. We talked about putting down an expensive resin to cover but, I think this will serve our purpose.
Yo, that looks SOOOO much better than the old floor! Great job! I really need to do something like this to my garage floor!
DUDE THIS IS AWESOME!!! 👏 Ill def. be doing this as well once i build my garage.
It looks nice.
And it’s good to hear someone doing DYI in a calm manner.
I don't have a garage, I just like how you make everything so easy to follow. You really have a knack for keeping me interested and others to I am sure.
Those floor tiles could be perfect for my elderly parent's garage floor - I just started watching videos on storage today and the flooring is something else I could tackle when back in the UK. Yay!
Can I just say, I love that you are extremely detailed and skipped no steps. Sometimes you want it done right it’s worth it to go all the way. 😊
I had not thought much about my garage floor, until I watched this video. You have inspired me! Thanks
I like your attention to detail and planning. That made the finish product look professionally installed. Nice job!
Looks Awesome. Great job the trim really finished it off nicely.
Great job! You make it look straightforward. Looks great! ❣️🍀
Man, that was a great transformation/great job! Thanks for the filming your experience and sharing with the rest of us!
Great Video!!! I have the same issue with my garage. I have all the walls finished and painted…but the floor is an eyesore!!! I saw these Husky tiles at the home improvement store, which changed my mind on doing an epoxy floor. Your video confirmed my decision. It’s nice to see someone take pride in their garage as I also do. Beautiful job!!! Kudos to you!!!
The floor looks great. Love the baseboard addition. Great job.
Yeah, I did not know PVC baseboard existed until just now... and now I know what I'm doing in my garage (excellent)
Awesome job! What a transformation. Thanks for sharing the process.
Great idea using PVC baseboard, that really brought it together! And thanks for the tip of using the air hose to clear the water heater. I had a battle with mine last year and could have used that!!
That looks really nice! You did a great job.I like how precise you were with everything.
that looks great, and the skirting boards around the wall finished it off just excellent. Congratulations.
This looks awesome! And looks like you went all out to make it as perfect as it can be. I hope to do the same. Thanks for going through every step and why you did it. I learned a lot and love how you added the final touch with trim along the bottom.
That looks sharp. I really like how you explained every detail of the project to be very informative and also explained any issues you ran into and how you tackled them ( I.e hot water heater not draining). Thank you!!
Does the diamond-plate-like design make it somewhat difficult to sweep clean?
I love this so much! I’m OBSESSED with a clean organized garage and this looks AMAZING
Nice job on both the DIY video and the project. The results look great!
I appreciate your eye for detail, beautiful job!
The trim really cleaned it up....also this gives me a good reason to dust off my hand weights and put them to use. 😉
Nice job !! Pat on the back for sure !! Use cleats on walls for hanging maybe ? Gives you mobility. Blessings 🙌
This looks fantastic. Well done. I've been considering what to do in my one-car garage that I converted to a home office. This looks like a great option. Thanks!
Me too! My garage is scary! The floor is full of pits, and the neighbors say it’s because there is so much sand around here. Not kidding! I actually found a shell when I was digging deep!
Thank you, your production is excellent!
Being a contractor myself, I really like this for a garage remodel. Good Job!
Thank you so much for speeding up the installation when necessary. Much appreciated. Very nice install and explanation(s). BTW, I just bought the husky adjustable table you were working on at H.D. last week. Love it. You've got a new subscriber. Regards.
Excellent videography, loved the planning and attention to detail that makes for a great DIY project!
Here he is again, doing something awesome with incredible integrity!
First time I've seen your channel. That really did enhance your garage and you gave great step-by-step instructions.
Absolutely awesome job! I learned a lot watching this video. And it's like an instant facelift for your garage floor. Thanks for sharing this.
True about that baseboard though! Great job - it’s made a massive difference to the space. Thanks for taking the time to upload these videos. Really enjoy your style and the touches of editing you add.
He is awesome with his demonstration speaks so clearly and makes sense with what he is doing,, great job do more videos
