thank you for the replies!

Also, a more general question - are car dollies safe on a sloped garage floor?

Im looking to get car dollies to move my car around without starting it. I am also looking to get racedeck flooring in my garage later this year. Would dollies w/ 3" casters damage the floor? I was going to get some boards made for my jackstands and floor jack but I obviously cant do something...

I had an insulation contractor in to take a look and they actually recommended I do nothing in my situation and use case, since it is only a small portion of the ceiling that is uninsulated, considering the cost and the limited usage it wouldnt make sense.

I dont know much about insulation/ventilation... I get the impression that roof venting is not necessary without insulation, but is necessary with insulation. Is that correct? If so, what is the reason? There is no roof ventilation right now but there are soffits as mentioned. The house was...

I should mention , I dont plan on heating 24/7. Really just when I want to work in the garage, but I do want it to maintain a higher temperature if possible at all times.

Im trying to winterproof my garage a bit (Location : Sothern Ontario) Background info is at the bottom. I am wondering if it is possible to add insulation to the ceiling of my garage without taking the sheetrock down. Is there any way to just cut small holes in the ceiling and blow in some...

I am planning my racedeck floor and am looking for a bit of advice. I live in Southern Ontario in Canada, and as such my vehicles will often bring snow in in the winter, which will melt and hopefully drain. Would it be worthwhile mixing some freeflow tiles in with my primarily diamond pattern...

I have the same kind of hinges, or at least very similar. I understand whats going on now. Good to know I have an option available to make the green hinge work on my door. I guess the track rollers on my door arent on a hinge at all, its just a guide. Lester told me he is working on something...

Can you give some more detail about this? You had to change all the other door hinges as well? (The ones that dont attach to the tracks?) Where did you have to drill the new hole? Can you take a picture of your complete garage door so I can compare to mine?

thanks, Ill check it out

need something tall enough to put the cove base on.

Any examples of the shallow storage? I hadnt really considered that - was only planning on making the step 10" tall or so What would be the best way to secure the new studs to the existing drywall? Im going to orient them the wrong way to make it shallower. Im not sure if i should glue onto the...

Ill drop a pic when I get a chance.
