There are a lot of tech creators, but I really love your stuff. I hope the move works out for you.

[SpoiledBadgerMilk]

You do you. But a more efficient way of improving your space would be moving the new awning over to your sliding door in the back. Tear down the back wall and extend the length of your garage. Remove the window, remove the garage door, or just build a wall behind it with sound dampening goo and thick insulation. Put in carpet or wood with a healthy amount of floor insulation. Add your mini split now. You have a large cool space year round.

Those time-lapse video clips are inspiring for those of us who also have rooms of stuff to go through!

Joe is a true friend cuz most will turn tail with that kind of help 😊😊

[MrHaggibear]

You know what: this actually makes me happy to see! You tried something new, it didn't work, so you go back to what works better for you. Takes courage to actually go that step! Hope that all your plans come together in the end, and we continue getting wholesome content out of it :)

❤home improvement stuff is busy. I recently moved our washer and dryer out to the garage so all the plumbing and the wiring for the dryer. Moved cabinets out of utility room to dining room and the countertop desk from in there to make a coffee bar. Laid tile down in what was the utility room and the hallway. And then built a big custom Alex drawer and countertop desk to make my wife a home office. And a shelf, and corner mounted TV. All while working 7 days a week at my regular job. So I feel you.

The gobbed on texture is acoustic dampening. You don’t want smooth ceilings in your bedroom.
Patch the drywall, but put up acoustic panels don’t go with flat walls. You can put some baffles on the ceiling that can be multi purpose, hang lights, drop cords for power, hanging storage and of course baffle sound
You could hang cloth on ceiling but if so I’d go for something easy to change out. Like a sponsor banner that you change regularly so it doesn’t collect to much dust. Could do carpet panels for walls too instead of acoustic
Carpet panels would be modular, easy to hang Velcro from or drapery pins. Artist use Propanels for displays, they come in different colors and sizes. DIY ones are pretty easy with foam board insulation and your choice of pipe(metal or plastic) and carpet. Not super cheap but probably less than a month of office rent.
A carpet wall could hide storage, allow access to storage, dampen sound, provide hanging space. Just have a way to secure the top to a fixed beam. Look at a Propanel system for ideas. But end vertical poles and a top beam would give you easy to move stable sound dampening good looking walls

Paul's Garage is one of my favorite YouTube channels!

[catalystguitarguy]

I"ve been watching home improvement and network management videos the last year now. Been running fiber and cat7 throughout the house, Replacing lights and ceiling fans, fixing appliances, setting up my POE network for my mesh wifi and security cams, etc. It has been a satisfying process.

[jonathanzj]

I've missed your home improvement videos dearly. They were always my favorite.

[AlexandreRacine]

With CAT6 you can go at 10Gb but instead of 100m (300ft) you have to half that to 50m (180ft). That's the distance total, that includes the patch pannel, the inside the wall wire, and your pc wire. Good luck!

[CallMeTonyga]

Garage/Dad-get-stuff-done content is my favorite part of the channel

[mattr]

Hey man, I built my first PC around 2011/2012. After I got all of my parts, you were who I landed on to help me with the install process.

Finally upgraded about 10 years later after my 780 was well past its prime. Needed a refresher on installation, and I found you had an updated install guide.

Thanks for your help through the years. I will always be rooting for you!

[Skyspace]

Why not, some changes are good and sucessful. While it sometimes doesn't work out, you learn something about yourself and improve! There is no failures, just learning opportunities!

[ElJuandisemo]

Oh yeah! Construction vlogs from Paul, the tech version of Home Improvement.

Create a store room from the garage attic, open up a pull down stairway in the centre of the garage for easy access on storage.

[odiebo]

Paul I totally get that "its something that should have been done years ago". I'm remodeling a house that I lived in for 28 years to sell and there was so much work that I should have done years ago. Its amazing what we accept in our homes if we can adapt to it.

[canonwright]

The best thing about working from you're garage is you'll never have to worry about buying another mouse. You should have plenty. I look forward to seeing them in the background. Have a nice day.

[twistedpopo]

Garage worklog? Count me in. These are my favorite videos.

[theiigtasty]

I don't know why I really enjoy watching this...but thanks!!
Love your work Paul!
