Thanks, I'll read through that.

Good point, however they ran utilities through that part of the ceiling (which is why it's lower) and there's another layer of drywall between the living space. 2nd floor ----------(drywall) utilities ----------(drywall - cans would be here) Garage

The garage is finished, but I don't think wiring will be too hard. The entry door is on the bottom left of the diagram. Here's a picture looking into the garage. Thanks for the advice on placement for the workbench, I'll definitely have to look into that further.

You can get them with two outlets and two USB ports so that you’re not losing an outlet. Costco usually has a two pack, otherwise Home Depot has them.

Now that I've got my storage and work area figured out, I wanted to start improving the existing lighting and am hoping to get guidance from the experts. My garage is a newer, attached 20ft by 20ft with a single 4ft, two tube fluorescent. It gives off enough light to move around the garage, but...

I swear I had updated this when we closed, but I guess not! We ended up closing in July and the first thing I did, before we moved all of our junk, was seal the concrete with Concrete Sealers PS101. Based on the square footage I should have needed 2 gallons, but ended up using only 3/4ths of a...

Thanks for that link, I'll take a look. Either way sounds like this is something I should do.

Ah! I want to say your garage is where I got the idea. Like you, I'm planning to go with the FreeFlow and am also planning to paint the exposed concrete around the perimeter. I live in LA where it barely rains and doesn't snow, so I don't have to worry about salt and all that. I wasn't sure if...

I have a new construction townhome that should be completed shortly and I'm pretty sure I'm going with RaceDeck. I was curious if I need to do anything with the concrete underneath to keep it in good condition. My garage will mostly be used for parking cars and the occasional maintenance on...

Can't wait to see how this goes! I really need to learn how to use sketch up!

A short while later, a townhouse appears! Nothing too exciting to report other than we'll hopefully be moved in within two months. The plan is still for RaceDeck and a NewEdge cabinet setup, probably on the left where there's more room for it.

The pictures are still here. You just need to use a plugin to display them. For Chrome, I've had good luck with this: Photobucket Embedded Image Fix

Here's the floor plan of the first floor. The bump-out on the right is for the trash cans. The power panel will be on the wall next to the door to the house. A tankless water heater will be on the left wall toward the front of the garage. The exterior of the garage should look similar to this...

The Past: In 2013 at the age of 26, I was fortunate enough to find and buy a townhome with a two car garage and while I had been lurking on this site from before then, most of my funds went into the house itself. I did replace the wood garage door with a more modern, insulated rollup and added...

What a difference the walls made! Love the color of your X1!
