As a 56 year old man I absolutely love seeing the younger generation doing things and making there on way. I've watched your channel for a while. I can honestly say young man im so glad I don't have the bank note that you have, it would be way to much stress for me today. I have the upmost respect for you and your crew. I'd like to also say thankyou for being part of the future young man. I wish there were alot more young people that had your mindset. Much love and respect from Georgia. God bless you and your family and your business 🙏

Should do a small example of each tint shade and brand on the exterior glass wall so customers can get a feel for how dark it’ll be on their car seeing outside

I'm assuming the smell is coming from the pit. You probably have to fill it uo with water to block out the stink. That's how it's designed. Kinda like a toilet or sink drain

Yeah it does look like the pit is supposed to have about a foot of water to block the smell (and trap heavy particulates).

yes ya gotta fill it up with water to cover those pipes at a minimum as you have nothing stopping sewer gas right now....

@markb.1259

You are correct Nicholas! Those lines likely have a "P" trap in them that needs to have water kept in the trap to keep the sewer gases out. Just like your toilets and sinks in your house.

My only issue with the tint on the lobby windows is it makes it appear that you are not open for business. Potential customers like to see in as they drive by and notice that people are hard at work.

I felt a similar way, it also can give the impression that they're trying to hide stuff as far as the lobby goes. I get tinting the garage doors but I feel like you'd want to be known for clarity in your business, physically and figuratively. Can just make people feel uneasy, I know I would

Yup, when the doors are closed it's gonna look like the shop is closed, permanently. You'll get those "You never see anything going on around there"-rumors. The tint is also completely useless for theft prevention. As you can see, when there are lights on inside when its dark out, you can see right through it. Any serious thieves will scout ahead of time anyway, and an opportunistic crackhead will break in anyway, because they don't care and just want something. I get the idea, but it won't do anything. It's nice to block the sun though, especially if those doors face south or west.

I agree, and it’s a bad idea. I have made that mistake before. Should do the upper lobby windows but not the lower.

Alingments haha. And 'engine swap'. Was def a napa shop

Better and better each video.. ✌

All about presentation, modern and clean is a good sign that you care about your business. Love the progress so far. 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍

You could get a ozone machine for the smell and just air out the shop afterwards. They use it in detailing cars when they smell terribly. Look into it! :)

We have one, I’ve been meaning to leave it in there overnight but I keep forgetting haha

I love channels that show bizz progress and growth! Keep it up!

It’s coming along👍🏼…could look into renting a Vac Truck to suck out all that sludge and clear those other drains…Aloha 🤙🏽

Take the wand off the pressure washer and stuff the hose in the drain, pressure clean the drain. Could even buy a extra hose and put a cap on it and make a nozzle by drilling a single front hole and angle a couple small holes back wards help wash the pipe wall.

Hopefully there is a Ptrap between the shop and the tie in to the city sewer. That will seal any sewer gases from getting back in. You could probably add one if needed.

Man, I’d paint the whole outside and inside of the ship black. Keep it up

Repaint the yellow on the entryway sidewalk area on the concrete. Or maybe even have it poured again. First impression around the entrance looking rough. Just a suggestion. Nice window tint nonetheless!

Looking forward to the shop content. Awesome progress on the shop

As you move into auto repair you might look into a uniform service like unifirst. They’ll provide shirts, pants, jumpsuits and floor mats to keep your guys looking professional and they’ll launder them weekly

Wow,you have made that Old Napa Buildingi into something productive,

Great to see new life being given to an existing building!!! Shows what hard work can accomplish. I subscribed to follow the progress. Keep it up!

Awesome that tint is wonderful!

Pressure washer snake ftw! Better than the auger for that kind of gunk.

You keep motivating me bro!

I have to admit I miss the "revive this old truck" videos. Been a long time sub, it's cool to see the growth and progress. Any plans to do a throwback and revive some mid 1900's trucks? I'll be watching anyways, but don't forget your roots. haha

Hey my boy Hunter, puttin in that work. Things are coming together nicely.

Thé Shop looks amazing guys. The hard work is paying off.

Try liquid fire to clean the drains out.

You should look into a karcher drain jet it attaches to a pressure washer and uses water to push itself forward while spraying a jet of water forward to break down any debris

Enjoying the progress, thanks! I think most professional window cleaners use DI water to rinse the panels off after cleaning.

Life in Alabama is so great. We live in South Carolina and want to buy land in Alabama. The cost of living is amazing compared to where I live.

Great job. Suggestion. Cascade dishwasher powder and hot water on dirty stuff and windows, use a soft brush on windows and rinse, the sheeting action, bleach and detergent kills mold and grime

Hi Caleb, You must have had a lot of foresight when you talked a few vlogs ago about your dream shop. The old Napa shop is having a complete refit and it already gives me a good impression how it finally will look like. I think when all is done you must be the most proud person in the region. Thanks for your great vlogs as well and send you love from the Netherlands

Maybe just pour some beach with "spic and span powder" down into the main drain once a week; should work wonders once the pit is cleaned out thoroughly in the beginning.

One pass of some fine steel wool would have probably saved you guys hours on those windows.

Great video 👍

Coming along nicely!

Been watching the videos since the original outlander, it’s awesome to see your new business doing so well. Keep up the amazing work, hopefully more working on truck vehicles soon. Great content

I'm surprised there isn't a professional grit trap cleaning service that get get all that sludge out for you. the garage i used to work at used to do it every couple of years to keep things running.

Looking good 👍🏻👍🏻

Hope you fix your sign, especially if your going to do Alignments. The old Napa Shop sign says alingments over one of the bays!

Once the tint is done do you plan on putting a coating on the exterior glass? Might make future cleanings easier….

Great progress. All that frontage glass looks great but boy it's a real pain to keep clean! Storm is a trooper, you got some good employees. Did you also buy the two post lifts and alignment rack with the building? If not I'm shocked the old owners didn't pull them up first thing. Looking forward to more videos.

As others have said, the pit needs to be holding water up to the pipes. That will fix the smell.

I only think that maybe it's too much dark... It's always nice to see inside before entering a room (psicology) and see people inside, i would have choose a lighter tint (from the inside it's ok, but when watched from the outside I can't see anyone inside) I speak about the lobby, the workshop area i think that darker it's better to not be able to see at a glance what is inside

Local KFC remodeled and went super dark tint. I cant tell you how many times ive drive 25 minutes past it just to realize they arent closed.

Looking good

I worked in a shop where we each got dedicated bays. Id always wax the windows on my door. Made cleaning a breeze.

Storm needs a Cold Beverage for all the Hard work he does !!!

Loved the music in the video it doesn't overpower the video

I dont need smell-a-vision for that drain i can smell it all the way from ky haha... keep it up cant wait to see it finished

The tint is way to dark. You do want potential customers to see the work that happens inside. People do need to want to walk inside and make an apiontment.

There’s some stuff Napa sells, called ozzy juice, orange jug, it will eat anything petroleum based like that sludge. Bio friendly and it realllly helps with drain smells, check it out man!

Looking good I always noticed with multiple bay shops however, those doors have such poor insulating costs that I spend a ton on heating monthly in our winter climate… and don’t even bother with ac Are you planning on using all the bay doors ?

A snake may break in drain from sludge build up need to have lines hydro jetted go to amazon order kit goes on pressure washer. Sewer Jetter Kit Pressure Washer - 1/4 Inch NPT, 50 FT Drain Cleaning Hose, Button Nose and Rotating Sewer Jetting Nozzle with Wrench, Orifice 4.0, 4.5, 4000 PSI, i have used an air hose and blow out lines too have to use a lot shop rags to hold pressure to blow out clog then hydro jet i think there is suppose to be water in bottom of pit to keep sewer gas out , call plumber and ask about water . there are some videos on you tube

Love the videos of the shop thanks

Love the Channel... Have you thought about doing mobile jobs for windows on residential and commercial sites?

I think the parking lot and concrete need some work! But looks good

good to see you guys are super busy with cars/trucks

Probably should have snaked those drains before cleaning out that pit. Also if you still have sewer smell you will need to keep water in the pit to prevent sewer gasses from escaping

Keep killing it shop looking good 💪

You need to hire a window cleaning company for glass maintenance.

If that smell persists talk to a local waste disposal company. I worked as a bus mechanic for a bit. Safety kleen would charge us 750 to 900 to truck vac all the lines and pump our 3 pits that were large enough to swallow forklifts in their 150k sqft shop. Im sure a local operation might be cheaper.

Looking good brother, so very cool watching y'all grow.

Looks good bro. Post more videos.

Just a FYI on the grease/sand trap. It won't stop stinking till you put enough water in it to seal off the sewer gas. Since there is no pee trap like a sink in a house the smell will just keep coming in until you add water.

Place is looking awesome if I ever am able to drive again and walk I'll definitely drive up to you so you can do all this to my truck. BTW why not put mirrored tint on the front windows would actually be a better thing so people couldn't see inside at all except nighttime when the inside lights are on. Good job bro

You came a long ways glad to see you makeing it can't wait to see the next video

It's so satisfying to see the transformation! Where do you get the patience to tint by the way? Really nice work and progress brother!

Did anyone else notice how alignments is spelled alingments on the building?

should have got a power vac company to clean those sumps out they would have got the sludge out and cleaned the side also

So what’s your plans for the lift bays??

Love what your doing keep up the good work !!

Electrician by trade and we always left a couple night lights on in buildings so if someone did break in you could see him from the road.

Y'all keeping those lift's

That drain definitely needs water sitting in it. You’re just getting gases coming back in because there’s no water trap!

This is the part that has me excited

Hell yeah keep it up love it!!

How do you dispose of the waste retrieved from the pit? Curious on what your options are on that type of waste?

@ParoDoXz

2 жыл бұрын

Local recycling facility , options a very limited

Hopefully that's single pane glass. 5% automotive tint is not a good idea for dual pane flat glass.

I would use a jetter system instead of a snake it's safer from the pipes

Bleach the floor drains to kill the smell

See how you get those hazy shots like when they’re ppfing the car? It’s because you have smudges on your lens. Gotta remember to wipe the lens off well on your phone before you record. You’re a detail shop and details matter.

14:30 What in the Alabama fuck made someone leave that horrible misspelling of alignments up on that shop? 🤣🤣🤣 I don’t want no mf alinging my car Glad you’re saving this spot Caleb, it needs help lol

👍 👍

How did the old shop have alignments misspelled that badly for that long and nobody noticed or fixed it? That's hilarious. Noticed it at 14:42.

If it had been me I might have used different tints on each window then you can show the customer what each tint looks like next to others.

What if you try aluminum cleaner on the doors?

@jameshanson3883

Yes! Use a industrial acid wash (made for aluminum) will clean and brighten up all on the aluminum frames of the roll up doors.

Are you guys gonna paint the bay doors? Shop vides are great!

For the drain pit at my old job we would put some bleach tablets in there.

I can't believe they left the door labeled, "Alingment" lmao

Goldmine location so much traffic. It just needed a little refreshment. So many owners don't give a damn about cleanliness.

I would like 3 of my vehicles down. Who or what number do I contact for me to get mine done. Willing to pull all three states away to have his company do it.

The 6.7 Cummins video brought me here and I just kinda stayed.

Just noticed as you panned across the front of the building while cleaning the glass, the original sign work had a spelling mistake, it read alingments instead of alignments, no one noticed in the original NAPA shop for how many years? Ha Ha.

are you going to epoxy the part of the shop with the lifts?

The shop is looking good, I wish I was local to you I would love to get both my new cars setup there

Is your shop in Washington state?

💪🏾

Hey man been watching for a very long time....is that your brother hunter....aka wat tha duck...just curious shop is looking great....been watching since you was in Hawaii with the silver 2nd gen

You've angered the goo. 😂

The old shop didn't know how to spell Alignments they put the N before the G LOL
