I love this garage. It's the perfect size to be called a "1 car garage" compared to the "one car tight parking spot" you get in most houses in my area.

Luckily it would be about 22" at that point. I'm also still in my 20s so sqeezing back there wouldn't be the end of the world. I'd treat it as a "loft" more than anything and use a ladder to get stuff down. That's also why I worry about hanging it off the ceiling. If I do have my 200+ pounds up...

I've been trying to figure out how to add more storage to the end of the garage closest to the house. The end closest to the road has the opener and the door in the way. I plan to have a 1' deep shelf go all the way around the garage when I'm done, but I'd like to have a small "loft" to throw...

It's a 2000w 240v Noma heater from Canadian Tire. I think Garrison and Noma are the same company, the noma is the old branding for this item. I'm a little concerned about it falling over. I've got all the heavy stuff in the bottom trying to avoid that.

It's finally warming up! I've been able to go back outside and work in the Garage. I've been a little delinquent with the camera. First I improvised some mobile tool storage. Free file cabinet from my father's office, and I borrowed his furniture dolly. The garage door had an incident...

Yesterday I went out and bought a bunch of electrical boxes. Then I decided to do some plumbing. The original hose bib came out behind what is now the door. When we moved in the outside (inside the garage) faucet leaked, so I cut it off, installed a sharkbite, and ran 30' of pex to the front...

Yep, a suburb of Toronto. :) Did the Tuck Tape give me away? I don't think a carport would fly with my neighbors or the city. They're not very common around here. My driveway is already twice as big as it should be so I'm not going to push my luck. I'm hoping the wife will let me put up a 3x6...

We decided to remove the light on the side of the garage and had an extra one installed on the front of the garage. I don't know why the builder only put one but the lack of symmetry was driving me nuts. The light on the side of the garage where the path to the front door is was not...

After the door was installed I finished ripping out the panelingn and anything else in my way. You may notice I'm not the neatest or most organized when it comes to this stuff.. I'm one of those "10 minutes doing work, 15 minutes looking for that screwdriver that was JUST IN MY HAND 30...

My wife and I purchased our first home this summer and got married this September. Now that the wedding is over I've started taking apart and re-building my garage. We have a semi-detached home, with a 10x20 single car garage with a 9' ceiling. I've been lacking with the photographs and I'm...

First post, why not have it in an obscure-non-garage-related thread. As a computer science student, I appreciate technology. New and old. I also collect older video game consoles. I'm not sure if anyone has connected their NES to a LCD tv, but it looks like garbage and really destroys the...
