I feel your pain!! I am also working with a 24x24 on a tight budget. Watch your local sales flyers for the items you need to come on sale crab them up. jmauld has the right idea also, I have a 10x10 shed behind the garage and that holds all my lawn equipment, shovels, ladders, and anything...

Would something like these work for you? You would have to either have a light you can plug in or wire it up to a plug. Obviously you would have to find one with the range that works for you. http://www.plasmaled.com/ac_wireless.htm Or what about a Sawdust collector remote turn on. Again it...

Add a little liquid dish soap to the fire extinguisher or if you know anyone on your local FD ask them for a cup of fire fighting foam. Either makes the water a little thicker and sticks to whatever you are spraying down making it more effictive. We use them for hunting down hot spots in houses...

If you feel like taking a driving up to Ontario Canada, i would take one for sure. lol I am sure they would be easy to get rid of. Good Luck

Mix the sawdust with a little wood glue, fill in the holes, little sanding and Bobs your Uncle. If you are staining it would be and the exact same, but I think it works better then wood putty any day and sawdust is normally pretty easy to find when working with wood. lol

Hard to see from the picture but my bench is only attached to the wall. The black side with the square and level on it is only to dress up the end and a place to hang things. Been there a year now and so far no problems with it. I used a support on both ends of the bench and one next to the two...

That was some horrible spelling and grammer in my first post!! Its was a long day at work and spent alot of time looking at cataloges on dust collectors. lol The brain was offically shut off for the day.

Wow thanks for all the information. I love the idea in that link for use Al tape to ground the system. Very interesting stuff.

Start to think about set up a dust collector system for my woodworking tools. Wondering who here has set one up and what types of tips they can provide me. My main lines are going to 4'' pvc piping that will be dropped down to 2'' for some smaller tools. I need it to be a compact system as the...

Not in my garage and not on walls either but I thought this was a pretty creative storage idea. http://www.toolcrib.com/blog/2008/11/05/12-free-workshop-storage-plans-tool-cabinets-rolling-carts-under-stair-storage-and-more/

Ha I like those!! The multi door ones are pretty good. But yeah, not sure if I would put it on my garage either. The window ones might be an idea however to keep people from looking, have to keep watching to see if they post anything.

I am with Back2Class, I have an 80+ year old home. A 2x4 or 2x6 is really 2x4 or 2x6. Makes it a pain to add anything new. Not to mention I have a 2 1/2 diameter tree stump in the basement holding up the house. Looks kind of cool tho, so it is staying and it is solid as can be.

I got them, its not bad but if I was building I would go 10' for sure.

Etek I think this is what you are looking for. Kinda pricey but. http://cgi.ebay.ca/Garage-Floor-Protection-7-5-X-20-Parking-Mat_W0QQitemZ250351715792QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_100?hash=item3a4a2005d0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 What about just interlocking foam mats, if its only for a lawn...

Kind of funny this thread would show up today, I pulled my truck into the garage tonight and it actually fit. I bought a new truck during my garage renos and was not sure if it would fit being a bigger truck and a new layout in the garage. Very Happy!!
