What happens here

This project details the comprehensive process of clearing out and demolishing a derelict garage to prepare it for future optimization as a woodworking shop. It covers initial junk removal, structural assessment, and the demolition of interior features and compromised structural elements, laying the groundwork for implementing modular tool storage solutions and an efficient shop layout.

what the f uck I didn't see this one we did the walk through this entire thing's just collapsing on this welcome to Mr buildup's new shop it's disgusting as you guys saw from my episode we bought an abandoned house that Irene has never seen and we finally did a house story check out that video previous video that we put out last week oh my gosh this is the garage that will be our new maker space and there's tons of stuff still left here so we got ourselves a big Iron bull dump trailer courtesy of Tate's rent by the way if you have a taste rent nearby go check them out it's so much cheaper than going buying a brand new 20 000 trailer I get to borrow this for two days we'll load the sucker up with everything we find in here and take it out of here pain you can't shake that shake that all the way can't tell me how you feel with it you put a lid on it I ain't got no chill with it this way here your problem you going to deal with it on the line I really hope I have my updated testing shot because after this I'm probably gonna need one [Music] now this is something I'm definitely gonna keep it's a vintage golf bag that'd be cool to get a restored because the leather still looks quality didn't crack this is cool [Music] now this is something definitely we're gonna keep this is a hydraulic scissor lift I wonder if we could use this for like either a motorcycle platform maybe something part of a workbench that'd be cool that's it to say it even works probably doesn't you should probably keep these saw horses when I'm painting stuff that might be a good help I found not one Polaroid two three four five Polaroids we got a six disc CD changer this will go to the highest bidder tell me down below and yeah that's a cooktop you have not had a childhood of the 90s if you don't have bad memories of you holding a light for your dad as he's working on his car getting yelled at words can't hurt me anymore I've held enough lights for my dad I'm fairly confident this is what they use to hunt ghosts like it gives you that meter reading maybe we should hold on to this one these are underwear oh God oh now that we're cleaning stuff out I'm getting a better look at this house and I mean it's pretty far gone but I think we could figure that out it's all falling apart this is the garage I don't know if the guy just had some Lumber and decided to build it because I don't see any pressure plates that are holding trusses it's just dimensional Lumber really guys I gotta take a break from cleaning out this Dusty dirty garage and talk to you about the sponsors of today's video that is trusted by over 8 million men worldwide including myself manscape now I've been using manscape products way before they're ever a sponsor of this channel I love their lawn mowers they're lawn mowers that helped with the grooming Down Under And then after that I evolved into their cologne my wife loves this redefined cologne by manscape and their deodorant it was a natural progression once

this garage down [Music] [Applause] [Music] just got back from the landfill that was the first load fortunately fit the first part of the garage now we do the back of the garage I can't tell y'all things the fact that this lifts up to dump it all out because I would well I probably wouldn't be standing in front of you I'd probably be dead if I had to manually unload it as well I'm just glad thank you thank you that this lift lifts up and thank you Tate again you guys are fantastic [Music] yeah that's a car seat and not the baby card I thought Irina had a problem with breaking down boxes and hiding them no this guy that lived here he's the one that wins the award for this foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] there's like four decomposing mice they're like so decomposed that like you kick it and it's kind of goes in poof that was disgusting one two three and looks like a fourth one but I don't know that one looks all shriveled up these two are clear as day oh that's disgusting do you like fly fishing I actually might keep this all right so this is Mike here he's a neighbor across the street with the only beautiful house that's on the street here uh you lived here for about 20 years right yeah yeah what do you know about the guy that lived here I'm curious yeah Jim I think was a retired truck driver and after he retired he started working on computers and I think he was the one that does a lot of troubleshooting so he was up most of the night and he'd sleep during the day and his health finally got to him yeah older gentleman yeah he's in his 70s what's up what's with the nine lawn mowers that I saw in the backyard oh he might have been a Cadillac and a lawnmower collector you have Cadillacs yeah you had four of them in the backyard four yeah you got the bumper still there yeah they come and clean those out before they got it sold so was this did he build this garage that I'm I have no idea no he lived here before I built I'm surprised it didn't collapse yet old wood is hard to beat huh yeah yeah this new wood it would have collapsed that's true those uh growth rings on those things yeah so did he was he a pretty social guy or anything like that uh not as far as neighborhood he uh went down and shot pool and stuff down at his favorite little hangout yeah you hear the Cadillac Roar out of here on Friday night yeah we're back in oh that's funny so the family they they you told me they wanted nothing to do with the house or anything like that no I uh after he passed away there was a couple that showed up here and they introduced themselves to me and she was his daughter and her husband and they lived down in Arizona yeah so they cleaned out whatever they thought was salvageable and took two or three loads to the dump so they could get through the front door oh was that really kind of hoarded up huh oh yeah oh really I really hope with this transformation we'll do the house Justice and make the street beautiful and hopefully he's up there in heaven looking down on a pretty Place yeah I don't know if it made any difference to him or not yeah well hey Mike I appreciate you coming out here and sharing a little bit about Jim yeah it'll make a difference to you yeah yeah I hope so I sure hope so it'll be fun to see the before is it after so this is actually an old school timer you plug your Appliance in here maybe a light and then you set what time you wanted to run for so 55 minutes an hour on off it's kind of cool [Music] what are the odds of this kerosene heater actually still works pretty slim I'm really starting to wonder if this was a good idea buying this place I don't know I really don't know look at all these newspapers let me see what the oldest one is so far the oldest check was 1982 and seven I guess these papers aren't that old the Lambs Kevin and Brenda cool sign [Music] these are like little keepsakes true scent Decor these are brand new there's a little side hustle they had in the business there's like four of these boxes I was assuming this video is going to be of me actually not only taking stuff out but setting up my shop you know cleaning stuff up here but looking at all the structural damage here I mean the roof is saggy this is all rotten Away by the way over the breaker box how safe is that and then this is just on a borderline of falling apart so three of the four walls are in terrible shape plus the roof guys I honestly don't know what I'm gonna do got this section all cleared out all we got to do now is get rid of this workbench and then get rid of the main workbench over there and then we'll uh we'll be I guess somewhat of a blank slate [Music] let me give you kids a lesson on putting up walls studs they don't go this way they go this way look at all this Flex that's not good [Music] broke my hammer this is the only thing that's dividing the wall from here to the garage some wainscoting thank you no freaking way oh and that's cardboard by the way what is this this is like there's no header and that piece is Rodney off I'm really surprised nothing's falling down there's essentially a curtain expensive curtain [Music] so I think this used to be the exterior wall and then they cut it off and then they just created out of scraps the back portion of it it can't get worse than this it honestly cannot get worse than this in order everything's falling apart ceiling joists are bowing down and the supports I mean these are one by sixes I mean that's not holding anything up the roof is legitimately caving in and that section is completely rotting out I don't know if I'll be able to safely bring my tools in here I don't know how long the structure will last this is where my new shop would be can you believe this [Music] I'm really nervous about tearing down any walls especially even though this is doesn't seem like it's holding much well this one kind of is I think that's load bearing inappropriately set up but load bearing so until I figure out how to get a reinforcements in here that section is going to stay there because those ceiling trusses are on there let's break down this workbench foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] all right I crunched the numbers this post and this post are supporting this makeshift ceiling joist but this wall that's clearly not even standing the right way is doing nothing but keeping this little ledge up for uh storage so I think we could safely remove it oh boy uh just one I thought this project couldn't get more stressful I just got not one but two Nails in the dump trailer and it's got weight in it right now so I'm rushing to O'Reilly's right now try to pick up a tire patch kit so this tight so this trailer tire doesn't lose too much air because it's already getting filled up and that's gonna be a lot more difficult to fill up with a tiny little plug-in accessory air pump so let's see what we can do so here's one culprit right there uh this was another one I pulled it out and I was bleeding way too much air obviously so to slow it down a hair I put a drill bit in there so hopefully we can get this puppy recovered quickly oh that was some NASCAR work right there didn't lose too much air in the tire so which is good let's get back to work [Music] thank you [Music] [Applause] foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] supporting whatever this is doing which I don't think anything the bottom Plate's not even anchored to the concrete not even anchored why I don't know [Music] whoa [Music] talk about an open concept huh Fixer-Upper ain't got nothing on me well that's as far as we'll get for today uh we got a great open concept more than that I got exposure to the roof situation so we could figure out what to do I don't know what to do with my tools they're all in storage I need my tools I only have small little pack out so I don't even know what's going to happen tune in next week we'll strip these walls and uh see if we need to demolish this thing or if we could actually fix the structure
