I Built A Rug Spa In My Garage ! (Part 3)

hello there guys Welcome to part three of my rug spar build Building a rug spar inside my garage so I can clean rugs in there And one of the first jobs for this part is going to be adding another level to the rug spar So I'm just cutting some 2x4 timber treated timber And these are going to just be screwed in around the perimeter using 150 mm stainless steel screws And yeah last time I did use stainless steel screws and a lot of these I had to just break off and it was a bit of a pain um to do So yeah so I'm going to use these stainless steel screws throughout the build Now I as much as I love having windows in here and natural light unfortunately I'm going to have to block these up um just to improve the sound quality of the videos for you guys Block the unwanted noise from outside being picked up by my cameras Um yeah So it's it's it's soundproofing essentially And here's my super duper amazing vacuum again that you can see I clearly love Now I'm going to be using a couple of sheets of Kingpan insulation to go inside the windows I think it's about 180 mil in total Should help keep it nice and toasty warm in there Anyway look at that It's like a glove Whoa Yeah I almost broke my camera there This one is taking a little bit of manipulation to get it into place but there we go Onto the next window Okay so there's a random slab here Of course it would be right in the way Got no idea why it's there I'm hoping there's no it's not like covering a drain or something like that but it has to go So got rid of my concrete breaker So we're going to have to use a little one for this Okay now to set up the water tanks or position the water tanks Anyway these are going to be for my storage water that I will be using to clean the rugs Okay so I got to get this under here somehow This tank is really really quite annoying being in here It is going to get removed at some point but for the time being I need to deal with it Um and yes essentially it's gonna sit on top of this So firstly I need to cut this piece of wood to length and uh yeah see if we can slide it in underneath there Let's get started [Music] Heat Heat So I've got two tanks this time around instead of one which is just going to help me store more water And um yeah hopefully I'm going to set this up as a water recycling system soon So that'll be another video But now I'm just going to connect the two tanks together using this tank connecting kit So when I fill one up both of them fill up at the same time And vice versa when I start emptying one both of them will empty at the same time Okay Okay So this was an absolute lake kept getting leaks Still got a little bit of a leak coming through there but that will have to do So now when I fill up one of these tanks both of them will fill up at the same time So I've got double the capacity of storage water that I can use It just makes things a bit easier Sometimes it takes a bit more than 1,000 L and then I'll need to fill up and yeah it's just a bit of a pain So that's one thing sorted out And then also getting this new hose rinse down hose um and pump connected together This submersible pump is just going to go in the top of there And then I can just pump straight out through that hose to my new hose attachment at the end there And let's check out how much sort of pressure I've got on this bad boy Daddy Okay So now I'm going to build a little raised floor just in front of the water tanks here really really could have done with a bit more space here but um yeah it's going to just be for one so I'm just not stepping off the edge down a big drop and two I can store my some tools up here I'm going to store the um wet and dry vac will be put on top of there pressure washer Dirt Reynolds will sit up there as well Possibly R2 Clean too Um depending on the space Heat Heat One [Applause] [Music] in Ow Now I just need to build a little hatch here because I need access to the tap that I've installed underneath here So we'll just join these few pieces together and make a little trap door So we've got some sort of access down there [Music] just about fit with a tight squeeze but that's as far as it can go I have to do now we'll move on to preparation of the floor to be tanked So first we need to remove as much of the dry particles as possible All the sawdust Get all nicely vacuumed out We've got mini roller We have our bigger roller spare rollers big paint brushes and we are going to be applying a primer first to the surface Uh this is going to seal the wood um and um help the tanking bond better to the surface Um this is generally used on dusty surfaces and things like that just so um yeah you get better better bond really It's just like a glue and yeah that goes on We got to wait a couple of hours and then we can tape it up and then start tanking [Music] Now we're going to tape all the little seams up throughout the floor with this special waterproof tape is very very very sticky So all the places where it's likely to leak all needs to be taped up before tanking Okay now for the job that I've really not been looking forward to is tanking the inside of the rug pit And that's basically just painting a waterproof paint onto the inside to protect the wood I got to do at least two coats of this potentially three We'll see how it goes But uh yeah I better get cracking Now this takes me quite a while to do and I end up putting about five coats on this Um yeah it's I think three would have been okay but I just wanted to be ultra ultra sure that this was going to um you know protect the wood that's underneath cuz I really really don't want to be taking this up [Applause] And now I'm installing the pool liner Just stapling it into place first This pool liner itself was about £600 so quite expensive really Um but it does the job And now I am just going to put some trim around the edges to hold everything down and just protect it This is aluminum I used plastic last time but um I thought I'd go for something a bit tougher because it all cracked before Okay And there we have it One rug pit ready to clean rugs in Now there's a few extra bits and pieces that I need to do like just trim around the edge here I'll keep that on there actually But um just trimming it back a little bit And at the front here adding some PVC panels on the wall there just to make it easier to clean A bit of silicon ceiling But that is pretty much it I'm not sure if there'll be a part four but um yeah hope you've enjoyed this little series of videos And yeah I'm looking forward to finally getting back to doing some rugs See you next time
