Sounds complicated, but you guys make it look doable for most, thanks for your expertise!

Hey John, it took me about tutorials which were promptly ended within a minute or so, because the instruction was too loosey-goosey. I like straight, succinct instruction that provides information in an organized manner because that's how my brain works. This presentation is such a blessing! Very well done, sir! Looking forward to the next installments that I'm going to watch right now!

Great video, a suspended floor like this also gives you the opportunity to run services like electric or plumbing?i was going to pour a concrete slab on my project but seeing this has me thinking

[joefeheley]

Great video. Well narrated with clear explanations of the small details it takes to do things right. Thanks for making my job easier!!

You are doing this very carefully and perfectly. A nice video about raising the garage floor to home level and covering it with plywood.

I like that you always find something to do, repair, modify ... In waiting for summer when the weather is right to travel throughout the country again :)👌👍

An excellent video about raising the garage floor to house floor level using treated 2x6s and covering with plywood. I enjoyed to the 8:29 end and gave you a well deserved thumbs up. Thank you for sharing my friend.

Great job rising the floor. Interesting remodel. We need our garage here. We get hail. And I hate digging out the car in the winter.

Awesome work John & son's redoing the previous owners cover-ups and installing the new raised floor joists! 👍

[TheLaughingLion]

wow this is cool to see the leveling process here.

Hi John, great video and thanks for sharing your knowledge. Did you screw the outer frames into the floor or walls or is it not necessary?

Just beginning this project on our garage. Our floor pitches down towards the door, would you recommend a small curb and self leveler to give us a solid level foundation?

[BonGalabansafe]

Big project you are making. Lots of work but looks fun and nice when its done.

[giovannymedina]

Awesome video! If I needed to raise the floor higher how would I do that?

[HealthyVeganLiving]

This is a lot of work, I also like all my floor to be the same level 👍Gary

What size plywood did you use? Looks like 1/2"

Great video. Thank you.
I want to have this kind of work done to a back patio area to convert it into an enclosed space. Interesting to visualize how it could be done.
