    Maintenance and inventory tracking

    I've always used a small spiral bound notepad that I keep in each car's glovebox. I check often enough where it isn't a big deal. I ahve toyed with doing something like the OP is suggesting, but for my small number of vehicles, I didn't find it worth it. It all comes down to personal preference...

    Between 265 & 485 SQ/FT My new garage in Wales

    I just wanted to pop in and say how beautiful Wales is. My wife and I visited earlier this year, and we were both stunned by how beautiful the countryside is. I also wish we could get Welsh apple cider in the US but I haven't found anyone who imports it.

    Ear Protection: Air Pods Pro 2

    I have a pair of Air Pods Pro 2 and I love them. I use them for music while running. I also use them while mowing. The "killer app" use for me though is on an airplane. They take away a lot of the noise, both mechanical and people. Flying is almost a pleasure with them (I said almost).

    Tool Truck Equivalent Tool Boxes?

    WTF are you snap-on box people doing with your boxes? Standing in the drawers? Take a 20 yard lead up to a full run and kick the drawers closed? Non-PG extra curricular activity on them?

    Garage Door problem with Liftmaster 3800: what happened and how can I fix it?

    I've had that happen a couple times to my door, but not as severe. It was always when I stopped the door mid-rise, which caused the cable to jump the drum. The first time I had a garage door company fix it. The next time, I did. The second time, I replaced the cables and re-tensioned the spring...

    Garage looks too big, so my boss says. Any design ideas appreciated.

    I can't believe nobody has said it yet...time for a new wife! Just kidding. Maybe... :LOL:

    Ritco flaring tool

    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002SB5RMA/?tag=atomicindus08-20 I got a Yellow Jacket flare tool when I installed my mini split. I got some spare tubing to practice making flares until I was comfortable. Worth the price.

    TV In Your Garage

    I have a 43" tv in the garage. I used to watch some sports on it, but in the last couple of years, it's only music. It's an older unit and not smart. I have a Roku attached, but just use Pandora, SiriusXM, and Plex for music. I added a sound bar last year. I've been contemplating taking the tv...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Changed the plugs on my 2.0 ATS this morning. Only 20 minutes. I could do it in 5 next time...

    Man Door Width?

    I did this on my garage. My work garage is a 16x26 single garage. The front has a traditional garage door. The back had, when I built it, a 4 ft roll up door. I came to dislike it though, as I had to deal with a padlock all the time, plus it wasn't air tight. I took it out and replaced it with a...

    Let's See Your Garage Dog

    I can relate. My golden has a serious sock fetish. She sees one - clean, dirty, doesn't matter, in her mouth it goes. She doesn't chew them, just holds them. She will take socks out of my hand as I'm walking. She even got one off my foot as I was putting it on.

    Do you ever go out the garage with a vision on working on something and this happens?

    No, my workspaces are clean. They will get messy while in the middle of a project, but when the project is done, everything is cleaned up and put away, and everything has a home. I'm also getting way better at cleaning up as I go, as most projects these days are woodworking, and tend to be...

    Let's See Your Garage Dog

    We have two that are growing. The golden on the left is mine - always by my side. The english creme on the right is my wife's, and always by her side. Well, except when they are together playing, which is a lot. 10 and 9 months old.
