So, as you guys can plainly see, I'm in my garage, which might not seem
interesting. See, we got a motorbike. We got a extra racket stringing machine. We
got like some a crib that uh we're not
using. Using a different crib. So, uh yeah, lots of cool stuff in here, you
know, like some painting equipment, some carpet, an office chair, a mat, you
know, some tools and stuff. So, the tools are where things start to get
interesting because I am repurposing my
garage to be a makeshift studio. So,
this wall right here is actually built out away from the garage door so that it
won't be obvious that I'm in my garage
um when I'm filming things. So, you know, the framing will be sort of
something like that. This is going to be like a white box. So, I'm going to prime
and paint with just a flat white finish uh these two walls. And then I'll get
some kind of a table that I can put in there that's also white so I can take
really nice close-ups of stuff and it'll be all surrounded by white and look all
white and stuff and look all nice. Um, so there's
that. This is obviously not intended for, you know, sort of white box type
shots. So this is going to be the red wall. And I'm not sure if I'm quite
satisfied with the flatness of this paint yet, but uh we'll we'll see how it
goes once it dries. It's only been on the wall for an hour and a half or so.
So, it's definitely got time. It's quite cold in here. And um you can see
actually that the wall is not very well finished. Oh my goodness. Look, there's
holes in the wall. It's okay because I'm going to put these on there. So, I'm
going to be replacing the pegboards that were on my wall before with blue peg
boards. So, these blue pegboards will have all kinds of cool stuff hanging
from them. And they will be in sort of a a line kind of right along
here. And then I'm going to have those bookshelves there with some cool stuff
on them. And then this part you guys won't see or you might or I don't know.
It doesn't really matter. Uh these tables though are going to get the paint
treatment as well. So, I've got this uh
Hey, focus. There you go. So, I've got this finish of paint that I'm going to
put on there. See, this should get Wow, I love this camera. Should give you guys
a really good idea of what they're going to look like, and I'm going to coat this
table. So, if you guys have been watching my videos lately, you've seen from my Windows 8 touchscreen demos how
I want to have the tables arranged. So, there's two of them. And I have decided
to try this. I don't know if it's going to work, but these are hard drive
packing foams. If it doesn't work, then I'm just going to man up and uh and buy
echo reduction foam. So, I'm going to cover the ceiling in those. And then I
have Well, I had a concrete floor in my garage before. You see that concrete
floor? So, I have obtained for free some of the most horrendous green carpet that
I've ever seen in my life. And that should help with a little bit of echo
reduction on the floor as well. There's there is foamy underneath it. So
hopefully that will uh that will contribute to the the helping. Those are
my shoes, by the way. Can you believe they were on clearance? Can you believe
these shoes were on clearance? Unbelievable, right? They
used to be like fuchsia, whereas now they're pretty beat up. So they were
like fuchsia white, lime green, and
horrible yellow with fuchsia laces. Just amazing. I love them. Um, my wife
doesn't love them. So, yeah, I just wanted to give you guys an in progress
and let you know how things are going. And I'm very excited about all the cool
stuff that I'm going to be doing with my new studio space. Um, at some point that
corner over there will turn into something. So, I'll do another another
fake wall like this. And then I'll probably just do one though and then
that light switch will just stay and there'll just be a wall that goes in front of the garage door. Um, but yeah,
that's going to be that's going to be exciting as well. Well, it sucks not having a garage, but uh I think some of
the cool content I'll be able to bring you guys in here will make it all worth it. Don't forget to subscribe to Linus
