How to STOP Garage Door LEAKS Like A PRO

what do you think Betsy huh she's still mad at me for kicking her out I think oh hey there Mission Control Oh a long time ago I had done a video where I showed you guys the problem with the garage doors and how when we were fabricating in here we had metal and sparks and everything was flying we're welding and the floor just kept getting wet because the garage doors the water would come run down them from either melted snow or rain and it would just come back in onto the cement when the folks built this place they didn't put a drain in that area so I asked everybody hey what would you guys do if you were me and you had this problem and pretty much everybody came back and said dude this this is from gara dry gara dry and it is rubber seal that goes along the back of the garage door it comes with the caulking it's got some bricks here for spacing I presume and then of course our lovely instruction days which appear to be pretty easy one of the first things we need to do is lay this out so it can flatten because it's been coiled up so I actually got one already on coiling here so we can do this video we'll get this other one laid out and yeah we'll get started on this I'm excited oh I've had this for quite a few weeks now but because the temperature is below has been below freezing we can't put it on it needs to be above 40 degrees Fahrenheit and below 95 degrees Fahrenheit to do the install right now it's about 55 56 degrees outside Fahrenheit so we're at a perfect temperature to get this done but for those that are gonna buy this and check it out make sure you do it before winter gets there this is our Maine garage door the one that we we come in and out of the most goes out to the house one over there goes out to pasture area what I'm gonna do I'm just gonna mark the back of the door here with a permanent marker just to have a reference so we can open the door and not have to be guessing so much about where everything's at and you can see I have the piece already you want to measure your door before you buy it this is going to tell me that I need to cut out quite a bit from this line now that I have that line on there I can open this door up and I can start to notch out the ends here so that I can shove it all the way back up in there all right so I got this thing even left to right I want to have it says to trim it so it's perfectly flush with this end here but I'm gonna leave a little overlap just because I got water and stuff that can go back in there so now I have my line on here and it says it's an inch and a half that I need to trim back now the instructions say cut this chunk out and then what you can do is you can use any remnants from it to actually put back here now let's go mark the other side just put a new blade in the knife let's see how it does pretty easy to cut the real I don't know about you guys but summer's not even here yet and I feel like it's over you know it's all about getting ready for winter right now and we're just ending it shows you where my frame of mind is that get ready with everything going on I think this winners gonna be rough on a lot of people us included so it want to be ready for it ready for whatever is coming our way I don't know what that is but doing stuff like this now certainly make us ready to work out here do whatever we need to do there we go so I just trimmed out that corner there that was a little problematic and now I'm running another line along the outer side here making sure I'm still aligned with the inside line and this is creating our space for putting the adhesive should have put my kneepads but with a floor of this clean now I'm still dirty easier to put it back on there and let's get a rag just a slightly damp paper towel here nothing really fancy I figured this fours already screwed up enough I'm probably not things raining on it coming in dirty right there the good news is there's no oil and grease up here all right what's next we did all this we did all that we did that we're on we're just moving step 5 step 6 time to get that he's about good you have to provide your own cocking gun this is an older one that I have half-inch definitely want to make sure you get that cut right cuz that's controls your flow there we go all right so let's go do it for me no look it is to come inspect it's like she knows all right you got to go out though this is not your home anymore yeah your homes yeah their way a little piece of angle iron here or I beam from tomorrow fabrication just use it as a press what do you think Betsy huh she's still mad at me for kicking her out I think it's really doing a nice job having this press kinda hard to see on camera obviously but there's little sections here that are kind of coming up and when I get over it with the press and just squish everything down that's really making it nice sitting in this whole purpose of doing this is to stop the water from coming in and getting all of our stuff we got that welder plasma cutter we got that new workbench we got our stalls everything is all nice now and how about a bunch of water come in when you're fabricating on the floor or ever getting anywhere really is just no good mobile camera engaged here you go see we cut around there the garage door frame and then really nice looking all the way the other side as you can see the door shut and we've got a really nice seal now I'm just going back through and making sure it all looks good from a seal standpoint I missed nice so they have these blocks that you're supposed to use on the far side and you cut it it's just foam and you cut it and put it behind there for this particular type of door comes in the kit so I need to measure those and get these installed and then do use the rest of the caulking to go around and make sure that the very corners the edges are all sealed up here's the gap and here's the block and I can do it that way but this is actually just happen to be the perfect dimension to fit back in there so what I'm going to do is I'm just going to reuse these pieces a lot of copies down here and I'm just gonna set this guy back in there make sure that's all let's go do the other side well this sides all done nothing can do on this anymore except for weight forward all the dry and make sure it all turned out alright but I've done everything that I can certainly more than the instructions of what I got that iron that's not something that's in the instructions but I think that was a smart thing to do get those air bubbles out of there and we'll see how it all goes but it's in there real nice really happy with that so let's go do the other side all right just got the other side done it went a lot faster just show you a quick close-up here same thing obviously not much more excitement than what we did the first one that's gonna be a huge this one leaks so much water coming in all right well this turned out really really nice thank you to all the subscribers and everyone who followed along who made this recommendation I'll have the link for this product down below in the description for anyone else that's facing the same type of problem is what I am you need to let it dry at least 24 hours and then we can do some testing with it but honestly it kind of is what it is at this point it doesn't really matter I put a lot of goo on there and made sure all the corners were sealed up real tight I actually got some weight on this one where those little bubbles are at just some old steel that I have set on there to press those flat as it dries I got the garage door just slightly lifted up off the ground so that it's not pressing too and the adhesive you know if there's any extra adhesive I didn't want it to bind to the bottom of the garage door so that when I went lifted it had lifted the whole thing up so that would be bad - thanks again everyone who recommended it and thank you so much to everybody for following along if you
