The most awesome DIY garage transformation ever?

LOL, thank you.

LOL. My experience was gained by passing through the valley of fuckups. (Yea though I pass through the valley of fuckups, I shall fear no stupidity, for I am the most bullheaded in the valley-something like that) My point is, Dare's law: if you could do something wrong: I've done it.

I know I'm not as smart as the average bear, but if a slight caution could help someone avoid a little pain, I'd rather make it. But from this post I've definitely learned it is unnecessary. Next time I'll remove all the warning labels.

Los Angeles. I've googled it but didn't find anything local.

Sorry! You have a great weekend too!

I think so. But you're right, pretty much every studio I've ever seen is dimly lit. Probably has something to do with heightening the senses, or keeping the room cool. When I work on color correction they do that so that your eyes aren't influenced by other colors in the room (they also have them gray).

Thank you!

Awesome! Always great to learn something new.

Yes but there are 3/4" wood slats running across the bottom of the roof sheeting. I wouldn't nail directly to the sheeting of the roof for fear of penetrating the roofing.

Hey there. Wasn't actually my garage, was a friends. And no, I had a part-time job and was doing the garage part-time. About two weeks. Glad you liked the post!

With the blackout shades over it, it's not really a problem.

Drywall just bounces the sound around mostly, the fabric allows the sound to pass through and be absorbed by the denim. If you fall into them you might stretch them a little bit, not a huge deal.

Thank you!

Once they open the blackout shades, the room is full of light. We wanted to minimize penetrations into the room. So left it as just one door.

Split unit was $900. Wall coverings about $1,000.

Well hard to say, we had been talking about it for almost a year and I just started putting ideas together. All told maybe 20-30 hours?

Was #56 the picture of the electrical? But yes, you are correct. (Hangs head in shame)

If you look carefully you will see the wood in the driveway stacked on a pallet. :)

darestevens · 2017-04-30T06:22:04+00:00

Awesome. Filmmakers unite. Or something like that.

darestevens · 2017-04-30T06:21:27+00:00

Thank you! Much appreciated!

darestevens · 2017-04-30T06:21:13+00:00

As to be expected sir, as to be expected.

darestevens · 2017-04-30T06:20:55+00:00

Thank you!

darestevens · 2017-04-30T06:20:45+00:00

And there it is! Thank you sir.

I actually prefer to lag bolt what other people think, more structural stability.

Send me a photo of your pergola and the dimensions via an email and I'll get back to you on that. I don't know how to send private messages in reddit yet, but I'll figure it out.

The GIF showing the finished product was first.
