Some updated pictures. Finish work upstairs is almost done and then just need to get the bar built and clean-up! Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

Well while pricey, just pulled the trigger on the Eley 75’ hose. If it’s anything like the hose reel I just mounted on my wall, it’ll be worth it! Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

Those are almost the exact ones I just pulled the trigger on. I am a Hawkeyes fan so just pulled the trigger on these at Sam's Club. https://www.samsclub.com/p/uiowa-bar-stool-v2-40in-bar-stool/prod20093790

Hello - was wondering if anyone on here has found a great set of bar stools for their garage? I am looking for something with a back and something that is comfortable to watch a few games on. They would be going around the pub table in the picture below. Thanks for any ideas!!

Certainly pricey..... hard to justify!

So how about best garden hoses? I will be using this in the garage and am looking for a 75' to 100' hose. I was looking at Flexzilla but didn't really need the bright green accent in my garage. :thumbup: Was looking for grey or black.

I went ahead and just ordered this one from Eley - hard to go against so many consistent suggestions! https://www.eleyhosereels.com/products/wall-mount-garden-hose-reel?variant=5999764356

That doesnt sound good!

Thanks all for your recommendation on ELEY, I have heard that before! I am hoping to be able to swivel the house as its on the back wall...do the ELEY reels unreel and reel back up even if the hose is pulled at an angle? Or do they make any swivel reels? I didnt see any on their website. Thanks...

I definitely watched those videos a few times to get a sense for how it’s done!

That’s is the goal...will see how it comes together. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

No doubt! Didn't know what we were getting into..

Hello! Been looking to buy a retractable garden hose reel for inside the new garage. There are some options on Amazon but I ordered one and it was basically plastic...even the spray nozel. I am looking for a quality retractable hose reel that I can pull in and out easy for washing cars. - any...

Thanks for the comment! The cedar shakes are quite the process.....love the look of the new shakes vs. the weathered look but there is no way I am paying those prices right now to redo the house to match! We will let them naturally age so the buildings end up matching.
