So, as you guys can plainly see, I'm in my garage, which might not seem
0:05
interesting. See, we got a motorbike. We got a extra racket stringing machine. We
0:10
got like some a crib that uh we're not
0:13
using. Using a different crib. So, uh yeah, lots of cool stuff in here, you
0:17
know, like some painting equipment, some carpet, an office chair, a mat, you
0:22
know, some tools and stuff. So, the tools are where things start to get
0:26
interesting because I am repurposing my
0:29
garage to be a makeshift studio. So,
0:34
this wall right here is actually built out away from the garage door so that it
0:38
won't be obvious that I'm in my garage
0:41
um when I'm filming things. So, you know, the framing will be sort of
0:45
something like that. This is going to be like a white box. So, I'm going to prime
0:49
and paint with just a flat white finish uh these two walls. And then I'll get
0:53
some kind of a table that I can put in there that's also white so I can take
0:56
really nice close-ups of stuff and it'll be all surrounded by white and look all
1:01
white and stuff and look all nice. Um, so there's
1:04
that. This is obviously not intended for, you know, sort of white box type
1:10
shots. So this is going to be the red wall. And I'm not sure if I'm quite
1:15
satisfied with the flatness of this paint yet, but uh we'll we'll see how it
1:19
goes once it dries. It's only been on the wall for an hour and a half or so.
1:24
So, it's definitely got time. It's quite cold in here. And um you can see
1:29
actually that the wall is not very well finished. Oh my goodness. Look, there's
1:33
holes in the wall. It's okay because I'm going to put these on there. So, I'm
1:38
going to be replacing the pegboards that were on my wall before with blue peg
1:43
boards. So, these blue pegboards will have all kinds of cool stuff hanging
1:46
from them. And they will be in sort of a a line kind of right along
1:52
here. And then I'm going to have those bookshelves there with some cool stuff
1:56
on them. And then this part you guys won't see or you might or I don't know.
2:00
It doesn't really matter. Uh these tables though are going to get the paint
2:04
treatment as well. So, I've got this uh
2:08
Hey, focus. There you go. So, I've got this finish of paint that I'm going to
2:13
put on there. See, this should get Wow, I love this camera. Should give you guys
2:16
a really good idea of what they're going to look like, and I'm going to coat this
2:21
table. So, if you guys have been watching my videos lately, you've seen from my Windows 8 touchscreen demos how
2:26
I want to have the tables arranged. So, there's two of them. And I have decided
2:32
to try this. I don't know if it's going to work, but these are hard drive
2:36
packing foams. If it doesn't work, then I'm just going to man up and uh and buy
2:40
echo reduction foam. So, I'm going to cover the ceiling in those. And then I
2:46
have Well, I had a concrete floor in my garage before. You see that concrete
2:50
floor? So, I have obtained for free some of the most horrendous green carpet that
2:55
I've ever seen in my life. And that should help with a little bit of echo
2:59
reduction on the floor as well. There's there is foamy underneath it. So
3:05
hopefully that will uh that will contribute to the the helping. Those are
3:09
my shoes, by the way. Can you believe they were on clearance? Can you believe
3:15
these shoes were on clearance? Unbelievable, right? They
3:20
used to be like fuchsia, whereas now they're pretty beat up. So they were
3:23
like fuchsia white, lime green, and
3:26
horrible yellow with fuchsia laces. Just amazing. I love them. Um, my wife
3:32
doesn't love them. So, yeah, I just wanted to give you guys an in progress
3:35
and let you know how things are going. And I'm very excited about all the cool
3:39
stuff that I'm going to be doing with my new studio space. Um, at some point that
3:42
corner over there will turn into something. So, I'll do another another
3:47
fake wall like this. And then I'll probably just do one though and then
3:50
that light switch will just stay and there'll just be a wall that goes in front of the garage door. Um, but yeah,
3:56
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
4:00
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
