Thank you. Would you go ahead and repair the cracks or would you just rely on the flakes covering them up? Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

My house is two years old. The attached garage did not have any saw cut expansion joints in it. It now has several cracks running through it. This weekend I prepped the floor to put a epoxy finish down… I’m concerned about the cracks. I know how to repair them but I’m concerned if I do and not...

Where’s the best place to purchase those lights? If I’m using a lumens calculator correctly I should be looking for 25,200 lumens total. Does this sound right?

Fact! it actually ended up being two 4 gang boxes, one above the other. I added two switches for Second floor. I like this idea but I’m not a fan of LED tubes.

Thanks for the replies. The problem I’m having is it is already wired for six and the center is eaten up with garage motors, Second level access and storage lift. I added to my first post to include the layout. I did not post it right the first time. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage...

Above is my electrical layout for my new garage. The architect shows six light fixtures. Each pair are on a separate switch (Front, center and back. The garage/DIY shop is a finished 24 X 26 X 9.5 that is painted a light, light gray (almost white)on ceiling and 5 feet down the walls. The...

Yeah me too. I have put down a few feet back in the day and never used a hand held "coping" saw. OP states he has a jigsaw and Dremel. He does not need to go buy a handoperated tool when he has what he needs to do an excellent job and contribute to the beer fund.:beer: But I guess I'm the...

Two small cuts like that. You could get away with using a jig saw and/or sanding drum on a Dremel -if you already own them

It's a rental, start pegboard just above water faucet and cut hole for power strip.

It's not mine. I wish it was. When I was doing some research for my attic lift I stumbled across it. When I read your original post it reminded me. I really like the concept.

Some inspiration. YouTube link:

not sure of the electrical code in your area but if you can install the outlet in it's on self-contained J box inside that enclosure. I don't see a problem with that

Dang, from the looks of pictures that a second floor not attic....nice. You do some serious lifting where am just thinking plastic totes and fishing rods. LOL

If failure occurs while in operation it will crash to the floor. I just installed it last Sunday and have been relying solely on hoist. With safety top priority I've been thinking about installing some type of electric solenoid lock when it's not in use. I do not like the idea of a safety chain...
