What Blue Chips said, spot on. More outlets and especially more lights than you think, and add circuits to support them. I would offer: Are you using a jackshaft door opener instead of a ceiling mounted opener because of the lift? If so, go ahead and put an outlet in place for a jack shaft...

I should have put in a ceiling fan, maybe two. I had it in the original plan but pulled it as part of trying to get back on budget. It's a vaulted ceiling with no regular attic, so not easy to fix now. Dumb. And I should have sealed the floor before moving in, like others have mentioned. Gonna...

Thanks Costner! I bought some of the hook-lok things and they are great. I'm using them on flow wall and cheapo hooks from Menards. They were 50 cents a piece.

That's a great idea! Thanks

This has been a VERY unusual winter so far in ND...it's 33F outside at midnight in the first week of January and is supposed to be in the mid 50s tomorrow! That is almost unheard of, so I'm enjoying it while I can. My garage is a tuck under 2.5 stall with the .5 part heated/finished living...

Re: what did you do in your garage today? Polished the headlights on my car with the 3M kit, looks great but not sure how long it will last. Started my new year's resolution of cleaning up my place and getting rid of junk. Lots of time spent for a very small dent.

Started my cleaning project today with a newfound commitment. It has been difficult because some of my junk was my late father's junk, so I'm battling what I think he would say if he were here with me. He would not approve. First project - Screws and stuff. I went through a fairly large box and...

That is an amazing build, well done! How did you mount those wall cabinets so they are butted next to each other?

I finally bought a couple of these, one floor cabinet and one wall cabinet. My local Sam's only had one wall cabinet in stock so I figured I would get a couple more when they restock. I would agree with the others here, they seem like very high quality for the price, are packaged wonderfully...

Holy cow philwire....you've been busy! Looks really good.

I would go with nuttsgt on this one. Insulate asap, even if it just the ceiling, and get the heater you plan to buy, it should be more than adequate with some insulation. And I'm a big fan of oil filled radiators if you need something cheap, temporary, and effective, but be conscious of where...

Great thread. We bought a MCM house 2 years ago and have since developed a big interest in the architecture and design. It's not MCM like you would expect, but was built in 1958 and has at least some MCM characteristics besides just the build period. There are some awesome examples in our...

Ok I didn't realize on my original design I was using a 6" grid instead of 1'....that kind of throws things off a bit :withstupi

For garage planning, (maybe not the actual bench), check this thread on Sweet Home 3D http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=126626

"but I'm a measure 4-5x and drill 1x kind of a guy" lol, me too, and I still don't get it right sometimes. VERY nice install BTW, I've been planning to get some of these and your review convinced me to go for it. Thanks!
