I did the same thing with some old kitchen cabinets I purchased from a seller on craigslist. After installing them I lightly sanded and rolled on some dark brown oil-based paint. I purposely wanted a high sheen, otherwise I think latex would have worked just fine. Here are some pictures of...

Re: Garage Refurb I just killed two hours reading this thread, and I'm exhausted. Nice work Eric. Your perseverance is inspirational and the transformations to your house and garage are something to be very proud of.

Brilliant idea Kevin. Wish I would have thought of that before I ordered the caps. They were kinda spendy, and frankly, your idea to double the utility of each rack has a lot of appeal to me.

Thanks for the tip! All four of my kids love to play in the garage with me, but for the youngest (pictured) the safety gear is too big and always inadequate. Even though the gloves were too big, I want her to remember the lesson at an early age--no working in the garage without the safety...

Thanks for the tips. I have been following this thread and plan to do VCT in my garage this spring. I have epoxy on the garage floor at one of my rentals and it held up nicely, but for this house VCT wins. Thanks to all those who have posted pictures of their VCT floors and how they held up...

Davesly, the floor, and your entire garage look fantastic. I will be installing VCT in my 1000 sq/ft garage this spring. I plan to use Armstrong VCT in a checkerboard pattern using a light grey and darker grey pattern, for that classic checkerboard look, but with less contrast than the...

I know right? She had to wear the gloves, earplugs, glasses, and everything else, even though her air tool wasn't connected to the system. She was just rolling the wheel over the metal to copy me.

Hadn't even thought of that. **regret** :mad:

Here is the homemade air tool rack that my youngest daughter and I worked on yesterday. It was nice to free up a drawer in the tool box, provide a oiling/storage solution, and use up some scrap aluminum channel in the process. Step one: Child labor law violations. Polish that metal...

Ah, those pictures are in a different thread. . . more information at: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=265558&page=3 But to answer your question, it is not in the center but over here: Be sure to follow the link for more information about the RapidAir piping system, if...

Ah, stroked383z28, another OCD person like me. Truthfully I hadn't considered the uneven hose raveling on my hose reel. . . now you've burned that image in my mind; I likely won't get any sleep tonight. The big regret that I have after completing this install (yes I am OCD too) is that my hose...

Thanks alberto! The only issue I had was prior to the installation of my roller bracket. When my hose had slack in it, gravity caused it to occasionally fall off of the lower edge of the spool. After I installed the roller bracket on my final assembly, it not only kept the hose rolling...

Hey sixty4, where did you get that air tool hanging bracket? I've seen similar setups that use notched angle stock to hold the 1/4 inlet ******* by their ridges, but never liked that style because I think the tools could drop out of the slots. Yours, with the quick-release couplers, on the...

Hey Cap'n. Thanks for the compliment. What's the big deal with screw hose clamps. . . other than how ugly they are? I'm new to the GJ (just joined) and I'm afraid that I don't have the background about the "Big NO NO." Thanks in advance for enlightening me.

Thanks stg454! All credit to Jack Olsen. I stole his idea and made it work for my space.
