 Ladies and gentlemen, sound on the mic back with another video. That's when all the fireworks went off and I walk in. Psssh! Wee! Well, it's the big show! Step one, three weeks ago. Clean. Psssh! Step two, strip. Psssh! Psssh! Step three, paint everything. Choose a paint color, paint everything. Step four, take BS out. So there's piping and nails and metal on the ground. Step five, grind the entire building down with 10 inches. Do the math. 10 inch grinder over 5600 square foot. Most likely 62 to 6400 square foot. 10 inches. Do the math. Where are my math people? Where are my Excel people? Put it comment below. How many inches? I had to inch by inch, row by row. And today's step six, we're choosing the die to prep the ground and then we're going to seal it. So, I think we talked about it a little bit. What's so different about your gym and why do you think your style? Look, bro, I'm just trying to make it look nice, right? Most gyms, you'd get a warehouse, you shove a squat rack in there and then people call it a gym. I want this environment not only to be fueled by the people that are in there with good energy and positivity, accepting of everybody, but I want the gym to have a vibe of its own. I want a security camera on the corner to take the gym. Just with a picture, you can see the vibe. So, what we're trying to do is not put gross black rubber mats all over the gym. We're not trying to paint the place bright red, yellow, or blue, like every university gym on the planet. We're trying to give it a little vibe where you come in here like, damn, this place kind of looks dope, right? Like maybe you, I don't know if you guys are in the street wear scene or anything like that, but first time I stepped into the hundreds in San Francisco, one of their first locations, they built it like a dungeon. Like it was like a cave dungeon and like the racks of clothes were like inside of a cave. The whole thing's super dark. There's one tiny desk and like one dude helping. And you walk in and the front door is like an elevator door and there's nothing else. You're just kind of like, what? There's no sign. And you walk in and you're like, yeah, this place is cool. Like this doesn't look like whatever, American Eagle or something where you just shop and everything. Every store, American Eagle, Hollister, Macy's, they all look the exact same. So we're trying to differentiate the game a little bit. So my thought, our thought, the team, me, Kyle, Connie, Jim is to dye the ground a little bit and get a nice dyed concrete that'll kind of just give you a little base layer flavor of color in the building. The walls are going to remain mostly gray. We're going to add accents and things with material, not with loud graffiti or loud logos everywhere. It's going to be a little bit sleeker. So we're going to do some accent walls, which will probably be in a week or two of this episode. Stay tuned on how we're going to do that and differentiate that from the norm. But today the idea was to get the dye. So shout out to my boys that I don't know where I was. They're going to dye or specter cement or something out here in Sacramento. The most helpful dude I've talked to in this entire process and I've been to Home Depot a hundred times and every other company a hundred times. This dude was super cool and he's like excited for a project. So he helped us up with these dyes and basically we've got four sample colors to try to get the ground going. Now what's the most expensive, best upgrade you can do? It is an old wives' saying. Is an old wives' saying? Old wives' tale in an old saying? No, they say. People just say they say, right? They say. They say old wives. I don't know if they could be old wives. They could be young, they could be old. Old is not bad either. Old is wonderful. Wise wives. That a nice paint job fixes many things. We painted the whole thing gray and it looks dope. But we still got this ground, which we got quotes and everyone, shout out to the people that were very positive and constructive in the last comments on YouTube. A bunch of comments. Your guys' support in general has been amazing. And shout out to the idiots out there that talk like I never once contemplated anything you would have said. That your idea, comment on the YouTube has not once been thought up by anyone we've consulted on this project. Not once. Have I thought maybe I should just lay new cement down or just throw rubber mats down? We've looked into all of it. I've been working, my brain has been working for a year and a half on this project. Kind of been working for 12 years on how to make gyms run better, smoother, look better. I've been in this world a very long time. Evan said, shout out to my boy Evan. Evan said something today. He said, dude, I'm so excited for everything you're doing. It's not like you're starting from scratch either. It's a culmination of all the years of work and relationships you've built. Shout out to him. But that's kind of true. And that's not to tie myself on the back, but a lot of times people will be a coach or something for a year or two and they're like, I'm going to open a gym. And I did that in 2010. Someone else wanted me to talk about that, Connor. Remind me, we'll talk about my gym in a different video. But all of this is like tons of experience I've gathered, you know, on online businesses, in-person businesses. And so we're trying to piece it together perfectly. Now will everything go perfect just to my vision? Probably not. But the point is the ground is really old. It's never been sealed. It's never been finished. It's never been relayed, probably since the 60s, right? So we're talking 60-year-old ground. We won't be using the ground. You'll be lifting on platforms and mats. But we just want to give it a little bit of flavor, right? You just sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on top of the salad. You sprinkle the pepper on the steak. You sprinkle hot sauce on your taco, right? This is my taco. You're in my taco. I don't know if you can say that. No, you can say that. You can definitely say that. So the hot sauce, what Connor showed you the film, he's throwing it over here. So those are the four flavors of my taco. And we're going to choose which topping we want. Because sometimes you want a basic street taco. And you just want some pico de gallo on top. Sometimes you want the Parmesan cheese and a little bit of lettuce and a little bit of guacamole on your taco. So the dye has to sit for around 24 hours. We're going to come back tomorrow and see what it looks like. Because the final product, it dyes into the cement, not on top. That's why we had to grind this whole thing, is to get the pores open so it goes in. So the color will look way different tomorrow than it does today. And then we'll make the final decision, which will be in the next episode. So best way to upgrade a place, clean the living crap out of it, paint the walls or paint the ground. We talked about staining the rafters, but actually after we cleaned them and painted the walls, they really pop and look like a pretty good wood. That's what I wanted. I wanted a nice wood industrial feel. We showed you guys the wood framing me and Connor. Went to town on. And then Jimbo, who's very handy, is going to frame these windows to match that. So we're going to have this real good concrete, cement, cinder block, metal action going on here for the general vibe. And then once you start to put in some furniture on this side, the retail store, the desk, and the equipment, I think you're really going to get the vision. That's a little bit harder to explain. Paint, I don't know the exact dollars. I know you guys are always into the financials. And someone yelled at me like, you ought to know the financials. Bro, I got every receipt and everything, but when I'm doing a one take video, I can't just tell you to the cent of the money dollars I spent. But the dye is going to cost us around a grand, a grand a little bit less. Renting the grinding machine was a couple hundred bucks, right? All the cleaning supplies, the vacuum, this dust to be gone stuff. I wish they sponsored me. This is the best product I've ever used. If you guys see the cleanup dust, put this red shit on it and then sweep it up. It's a miracle. So that's the goal for this week. And then after that, I think we start to dig into some details, which would be fun. We're really going to try to fix the lighting so it feels really alive and vibrant in here. Not only for content, but for when people step in here, they really feel good. The back room still work in progress. Jimbo's really attacking that thing and basically rebuilding it. And then the bathrooms, which we've kind of shown you, we'll show you more. They're in really good shape and actually built really well. Multiple showers and built the men's and women's bathroom. But we just got to repaint and kind of redesign it to make it flow a little bit better and a little bit more functional and warm in there as well. So we are making progress despite what it feels like. As soon as I think we seal this ground, so the whole thing's not dusty all the time, touch up the paint, we're going to be really rocking and rolling. And for not that much money, to be honest, considering it's been a bit. So, equipment's on the way in. Final designs are working on the clothing, so stay tuned on the apparel. 3sb.co 3rd Street Barbell, 3rd RD Street Barbell on Instagram. Be sure to follow me. I really do appreciate you, man. The kind words out there are amazing. We will be doing a grand, grand opening when the COVID things kind of chill out. Until then, we'll probably trickle and do a soft opening for just, you know, kind of members of the homies. It won't be a big event. But when people can travel and when it's on and popping, we're going to get this place on and poppin'. So, ladies and gentlemen, again, follow me, Salah Mike with 2K's Instagram. If you guys want some behind the scenes, follow the boys, Conor will throw it up there. Kyle underscore Castro, Conor O'Neill on Instagram. The crew, we are building, we're changing the game. We are respecting tradition, yet evolving the game. One love, y'all. Take care of yourselves. Take care of your loved ones, I'm out of here.
