We Cut A Huge HOLE In My HOUSE... Building The DREAM GARAGE : Part 3

On today's episode of WatchJRGO, we are back in the dream garage build here at the new house and today We're trying to add the dream garage door What is going on guys, I am WatchJRGO and like I said today We're here at the garage to do the most important part of the dream garage build Honestly, the rest of it is all just trimmings This is the part where we cut a huge hole in the side of the house So as you guys can see you're a little bit behind the curve, but we're going to jump back in time right now The door's actually just been unbolted but back in the hole for the last few days But now the hole's about to get much much bigger It's brick time. They got the concrete saw here I got our lines Well, it looks like they're almost done cutting they're done with the top And almost done with the sides looks like they have a little bit farther to go right there And this one is basically all the way down. Although they did say they're going to clean this up So I assume they're going to just take a whole nother hit to bring it back to the line. Exactly We're almost there. I am excited to see this hole open up It should just be a few more minutes. I think they ran to buy another blade and we're back to real time So yesterday they spent the whole day. They did the rough cut here They're coming back today to actually cut a hole in the house And hopefully I can show you guys a little bit more of it today But first let's talk about what went down to make all of this happen So they had to take quite a few rows of bricks out. They chiseled these out and then carefully Cut back and chisel the top sections there so they can get this giant piece of angle iron in that's screwed to that header That eric and I built inside so we framed the door in and there are big giant lag bolts all the way through this piece Of angle iron that's actually really hard to see but it's red iron in there and it's tied back to our lvl header With just a bunch of gigantic lag bolts So after that they came back in with their mortar and they filled this in they had to dye the mortar mix it all up Try to make it kind of match. I'm hoping it matches the reddish grout mortar that's in here Uh, if it doesn't though, I don't know Maybe we can fill that in with a paintbrush There has to be some kind of technique to really finish that and make it look like it matches at least all the bricks original so No change in the brick color because I had a bunch of extra and they cleaned up a lot of the bricks And just reused them. They also came up here and fixed a little crack that I had mentioned before Now that we had the foundation lifted back up It lifted the entire front porch back up a little bit and they filled in that gap and now that should be sealed up and ready to go too, so Basically the red iron's in the rough cuts done and here in just a couple of minutes The brick guys should be back Ready to cut all this brick out and cut a giant hole. So I am super excited to see this open up They're also going to cut our stem wall So we can drive through here obviously and then eric and I are going to cover this up with plywood temporarily I think the garage doors are I think they landed today and hopefully we have them later this week I don't know if that's going to happen, but I sure hope it's going to happen I was really worried about this when I saw it But then I saw that they'd drawn a new line where we actually said we were going to cut and this one's going to be Perfect. So that's going to be so exciting Hopefully eric and I can get this trimmed out tonight, too Then we'd have you know, basically everything done and we're going to retrim that door as well we're going to buy some douglas fir and uh Just rip all this old junk brick mold out that has problems and duct tape and we'll uh Stick up all new trim paint it all black to match the black doors and we'll be ready to rock On to the hole here is the progress update from inside the shop. It looks Kind of the same but you can see there is brick rubble all over the place And of course the sheeting has kind of gotten loose where there's nothing between well, no brick outside So let's go outside and you guys can take a look At the hole, which I am incredibly Excited about so we're almost all the way there. It's crazy how much room there is between the brick and the sheeting I never realized there's like a Inch and a quarter there or something like that But we get all this trimmed out soon. This will get cut and uh We can cut the wood drop this door put a giant piece of plywood in for a temporary door The first hole i'm pretty excited about the hole Plywood is destroyed door should fall I knew it was gonna happen. I tried so hard To avoid don't follow me door. Okay, here we go. It's a drawbridge not a door So getting this door out of here today was a big improvement it looks a lot better without that there And we're just about ready. I mean I could probably go ahead and start cutting all this out right now We've got the base plate board already cut ready to come out all this stuff's loose It literally just needs two more quick cuts and we can rip all of that out of there And then that side of course is all out and mostly trimmed up But uh, this this wood's also holding the tent and it keeps raining today. The weather does not want to cooperate so Uh, I can't cut quite all of it out while that's all going down We're going to try to re-trim this door and trim that door tonight. So i'm going to start ripping all this off here It's basically just trim and the actual brick mold We're gonna get all that ripped off right now And then head to home depot here in just a bit buy some wood buy some douglas fir and start retrimming these things So quite a bit of work to do and we're going to try to get it done as quickly as we can Uh, the new doors though are a little ways out. We'll talk more about that later Update the brick work is done. Most of the trim is off of the old garage door here I spent quite a bit of time getting all of this stripped so we can trim it back out now with new wood Make sure there's no rotten wood. No ugly brick mold It's all going to be new with uh, like I said douglas fir and the pvc brick mold instead of that old brick mold So hopefully it doesn't degrade over time. That should solve some problems for us And all that's really left now is I have to cut out one more piece of plywood right there in the corner We'll trim that out here in a minute. I started but it started vibrating the mortar down. So we quit immediately So I have to hold off on that for at least I don't know 30 more minutes or something Then it should be set up and we have to make like a hundred something cuts right there Who knows you could probably cut every half inch and it would work but a million cuts The number goes up in the concrete right there so you can actually drive into this bay It's going to take a lot to get all of that out of there And uh, we're going to need a saw with some water the brick guys ran to get the adapter for their steel saw uh, so we can Just pump water and probably as much water as we can pour onto this thing So that we don't fill the entire place up with concrete dust So obviously that's going to take a little bit of time still But by the end of the night eric and I are hoping to have this all trimmed out and then covered back up with plywood So we can survive the weather for the next two weeks a whole bunch of screws and a whole bunch of plywood We basically have to build a temporary wall to weatherproof it I should have jumped in here before we started cheating this back up real quick But we're throwing wood up to cover everything. We got a sheet of osb. Eric's dropping in a sheet of plywood right now It's a hundred dollar board I don't think it is That's why i'm charging. I was like, I think they're 25 again. Yeah, but I gotta add my cost. I gotcha. Yeah your cost That's crazy stuff Triple whatever triple everyone else's cost. Did you really just do that? That's crazy. That's crazy, man All right. Well, we have a huge hole in the side of the house, which is amazing absolutely love it now we gotta start putting a wall up with some two by fours and shooting these sheets into our Framing for now. So let me grab you some screws Eric convinced me not to go waste money on a new sheet of plywood and we had that gigantic door sitting there So we just screwed the door into our plywood wall This is the step one of our temporary wall there and honestly It's gonna hold and it should keep the weather out of the garage and you know Everything else out of the garage for the next couple days Grade a oklahoma says right on there, georgia pacific tell me The railroad dropped it right off. That's right So we have a huge hole in the house I'm super excited about having a huge hole in the house because we can drive in already Although we won't be driving in for two more weeks until the garage door is on here So right now I guess we're heading to home depot to buy wood to trim that out uh I have a gift card so But we'll be back in just a minute to get this all wrapped back up and looking good We can't even completely finish this today because the old one used like a round over trim like a quarter round One and a half inch piece of trim. Yeah, and the new garage door, of course comes with the sealed pvc trim so We can't completely finish this one today either. We got to wait till the doors show up Well guys, we made the home depot run last night and it turns out they didn't have any of the douglas fir that we needed They did have the brick mold. Of course, we're switching to the pvc stuff, which doesn't rock and that's going to be super nice We got some tins some eights enough to finish Both of these doors the brick guys are coming back to finish up one more thing before I can trim it out There was a one little hole where I wanted some more mortar in there and they're coming back In a day or two to finish that up. So we're probably stuck on the door for a minute But that's okay because the garage doors aren't here either as I explained before so the deal was with the garage doors I said I would get back to that. We missed the truck. So we ordered them a week a week and a half ago somewhere in there It may have even been longer But he said the cutoff was like the day we ordered and that wasn't we didn't plan that I didn't know when the cutoff was I just had ordered the doors and then he said They're ordered and they may or may not make the truck. Well, the truck was supposed to land tuesday It did our doors weren't on it Which means that these two doors will get here in a week and a half or something like that at this point so Two tuesdays from today. They're getting installed the day after that, which is awesome. I'm super excited He said uh, since it's so far out He would get me on the schedule for the next day and we should have this wrapped up So I think we're gonna call this one here because other than trimming out the door. We're kind of done We're gonna try to get the door done tonight If we do well, you guys are gonna see an update on that here in just a moment But for now, this is what it looks like and I am super pumped that it looks the same as the other door So there's our 16 by 7 there with all this trim ripped off ready to be trimmed back out. And here is our 8 by 7 and this one needs a couple 2 by 4s added to the edge and then trimmed out and i'm also going to take the Vibratey saw that of course is the better name for the oscillator and i'm going to trim out this junk that they it's like Insulating board they used on some of the face of the garage I'm going to trim all that out and put plywood back up in there and then we can put our trim boards on To get it all finished up if there's one thing I can tell you it's that I don't like that stuff And it's also hard to attach to and it compresses so that's why we're going to put real wood behind it But hey, I did get rid of my home depot gift cards just buying all that brick mold I mean just that much it's like a hundred dollars and change right there. It's crazy how fast it goes Anyway off to Lowe's to buy more material and that is it for today guys Thank you so much for watching Don't forget to head on over to shop watch chair ago.com for cool shirts not like this and please like share subscribe Do whatever you want to do and I will talk to you next time It's about time for me to shove all this insulation back up in there, but I need to run all the low voltage wire For the garage door openers, so I want to do the pretty way which is running a cat 5 behind the walls So cat 5 cat 6 that way we can have nice little uh Plastic trim plates where the sensors come out of the wall And of course the buttons need to be pulled in cat 5 cat 6 so we can rip all that junk down There's a lot of cleanup to do and we still need the outlets for the openers, but the openers are here So we're getting close same openers. We used in the shop the new 98 022 We're always working on electrical over there and i've got the breakers off and i'm like well We could really open the door right now.
