I'm planning out my new garage and I can't get my head around running outlets for my compressed air. I've heard inside the wall is not good, but I haven't seen pictures of it anyother way. What are the advantages of in the wall vs out? Anybody got any pictures of a way to make it look cool...

ok, I think I figured it out. Drawing it really helped. It looks like I'll have 7 feet across of attic space 5 foot or higher.

I'm planning out a new garage and am trying to determine how much attic space that I might have. I'm building a 20x40 one car with the last 18 feet being attic. The ceiling under the attic will be 8 feet. The other part will have scissor trusses to make the ceiling as high as possible for a...

Yes, I would like to do a center drain in the floor, I just don't have it on the drawing.

I'm thinking that most of the workbenches will go against the back wall. I may also do a rolling island of sorts to go infront of the car for added work space and storage. Yes, the room on the lower left is for outdoor tools, gas cans, paint, and any other messy stuff and will only be...

I'm planning out a new garage so I thought I would get your thoughts. I plan to do lots of lights, plugs and air drops. I'll also do wiring for cable, phone, surround sound, a small fridge. I haven't quite worked out where everything will go yet, so I dont have that in the plans yet. I would...

I broke about a fifth of it with a sledge in about an hour. SHouldn't be too hard to finish it that way. The only problem with buring it is makeing the hole.

Thanks. That helps. The only traffic I have planned is for parking a 3rd vehicle and driving into my shop. Didi I say its only about 25 feet long? Would that still require 5" with the mesh?

Concrete was my first thought. What about asphault? Pros/ Cons?

I'm hoping to put a short driveway from the alley to the rear of my shop. How thick should it be? Is there anything that i should be on the look out for? This is my first time planning for a drive.:headscrat Thanks Bryan

Here are my 3 work benches. The first I used 2 sets of shelves from Lowes. They are rated for 5500lbs so I figured they will hold up. I fully assembled the first then split the second. I bolted all 3 together to make it a little stronger. The white one was an old buffet that we took out of...

What part of AL are you in?

I have a 8x8 slab left from a old shed that I need to remove. What would be the best way to remove it. I was thinking of drilling a bunch of holes with a hammer drill and breaking it up with a sledge hammer. Any suggestions? Thanks

Here are a few pictures of my work in progress workshop. I had to pull the paneling to redo the elictrical and to kill all the cricket that the prior owner left for me. The before pictures are still after several weekends removing several truck loads of stuff.

Thanks. Would you happen to have any close ups of the doors? Thats what I was thinking of doing. This may be a stupid question, but has anyone ever used the anti sag gate kits that Home Depot sells to build doors? I used these for a 5 foot gate and it was way easier that the first 2 times I...
