Abandoned home garage renovation journeyfrom @jennaphipps
[01]
Overview
The creator narrates the two-year journey of renovating the garage in their abandoned home. They begin by showing the initial dilapidated state of the house and the garage, which had a leaky roof and rotten walls. The video then transitions into a montage showcasing the entire renovation process, including rebuilding the roof, electrical wiring, insulation, drywalling, painting, and installing lights and an HVAC system. After showing the nearly completed space, they explain a delay caused by waiting for a new garage door, which is then shown being installed. The video concludes by revealing the finished garage is now being used for storage for the rest of the house renovation, humorously noting that while it's 'done,' it's still full of materials.

We purchased our abandoned home two years ago and we just finished our first room in the house and it's the garage. I don't know if you remember what this garage looked like two years ago, but it was a complete disaster. The whole roof leaked, basically was a swimming pool and all the walls are rotten. We had to rebuild the roof. We had to wire the electrical. We had to insulate it. Then we got a crew to drywall it and then we finally painted it. Once it's painted, you can finally start working on the final details like putting the lights in, adding switches, and most importantly, adding our Mr. Cool DIY ductless mini split keypad. And the best part is we installed it all ourselves. The pre charge quick connect line set is super DIY friendly and the ceiling cassette, so seamless. Better honestly, months ago, best we've been waiting for the garage door, which has been super delayed, but it finally arrived a couple days ago. They installed it and all our flooring showed up. So now it looks like this. It's done, but it looks like this. It might take a couple years before it looks like one of those dreamy workshop garages. But for now, it's really nice having a room finished.
