    Homak Geneva Garage cabinets?

    That's another thing I'm debating myself about. Since I don't have a huge garage, one of my mantra's is "Everything should be on wheels" so I can move or re-arrange as I see fit. That being said, this is just a cabinet to put cans & bottles of stuff in, and I'm not sure that I'm ever going to...

    Homak Geneva Garage cabinets?

    Looking for a tall roll-around locker style cabinet and came across the “Geneva” line from Homak.

I’m not sure I can justify...

    Anyone Built a Bar?

    I'm curious what you mean by "too tippy" (I haven't browsed through your thread yet). Are you not securing the whole bar to the floor?

    Anyone Built a Bar?

    Even though this isn't going in my garage, I hope its not too far off-topic. Anyone here have any experience building a home bar? I'm in the planning stages and I'm looking for tips & tricks from those who've done it before. I'm struggling with 2 issues. 1) What to do for a back drop...

    Supports for Gas Pipe

    Not sure what you mean by J-hanger? Any reason to not use the ceiling plate and go into the bottom of the joist? 12' ish across the garage, 5' ish across the top of the shelves. I figured attaching to joists would be required, it just ***** because I'm pretty sure there isn't one centered on...

    Supports for Gas Pipe

    I have some gas pipe that runs across my garage, that's currently supported by a built in shelf I want to tear down. The pipe is 1-1/4", or 1", not sure without double checking.

    Removing Foundation Tar from Floor

    I have a 10x10 shop space with concrete floors that was a cedar closet in its former life. The 2x4s that made up the base of the closet were covered in foundation tar, so now that they're gone, the space has 8 or so 4" wide strips of tar on the concrete. I knocked down the high spots with an...

    Door for dead-on 80" rough opening?

    So I'd like to replace the door leading from my house into the garage. The door itself is 32"x78" and the rough opening is 34.5" x 80". The 80" height is dead on, the problem is that all the common Home Depot Jeldwen doors list a rough opening of 80.5". To make matters worse, they are packaged...

    Smoothing Floor?

    Thank you both! When you say sand smooth do you mean a grinder or an actual sander? Any specific grit? Thanks again.

    Smoothing Floor?

    Hello. I'm getting ready to prep my garage floor for a rust bullet coating. Considering it's age, the floor is in really good shape and is *mostly* smooth. However, there are a few small divots, cracks, etc... that I'd like to smooth over, nothing deeper than 1/8". Whats the best...
