    Drywall in a ocassionally heated barn

    I'm a huge fan of finishing a garage interior with T-111. Simple to hang, almost bullet proof, easy to hang things on it, and maintenance free. Plus the finish look inside looks great (in my opinion).

    Let's see your Shop Clock

    The Skil Saw Clock (in the upper middle of this picture) was in my fathers garage. Years before he passed we sat in a bar and wrote down on a napkin how we would build our "dream" garage. I saved the napkin and after he passed I went ahead and had the dream garage built. The clock is my favorite...

    Ridiculous difference in prices for contracting a build

    I live in Michigan and had a 28x30 built with a 12 ft ceiling. I did my due diligence and had it quoted by 3 contractors. I had two bids that came in close to each other and one that was "off". I went out and took a look at a few of the jobs each had done and spoke to some of the people that had...

    Tvs in the garage and dust?

    I have a 40 inch flat screen hanging from the wall. I had a dust cover made (my wife's friend can sew really good) and put the cover on when I'm doing dusty jobs.

    Mr. Heater Hero 60

    yep I understand. I've got 3 glass block windows each with a vent. I crack 2 of them and no smell. I'll have to keep an eye on the moisture issue (tools)

    Mr. Heater Hero 60

    Just picked up a Mr. Heater Hero 60 to heat my 28x30 fully insulated garage. I have an electric heater (220V) and it was getting a little pricy to heat my garage. The Mr. Heater propane unit works GREAT. It has a cordless option and the btu can run 30,000-60,000. Its extremely quite when its...

    My 16x24 Mess/Mustang Storage

    120V garage heater

    I've got a 28x30 fully insulated garage along with a 18ft insulated garage door. I use electic heat (220V) and its pretty expensive. I just picked up a propane torpedo heater and it works great. I fire it up for 30-45 minutes and than shut it off and my garage holds the heat. Have you considered...

    Heavy Duty Rubber Floor Mats to cover garage floor?

    I just purchased and received 2 9x20ft black ribbed mats from Garage Flooring LLC. They fit great in my 28x30 garage and clean up easy. Excellent product and great people to do business with. I live in Michigan and am confident they will do the job in the winter.
