Thanks all! I've had a lot of nosy neighbors stop in and comment that my garage looks better and cleaner than their kitchens. New garage door went in and I'm hoping to keep chipping away tomorrow. Once it's all wrapped up, I'm already contemplating a loft over the garage door for storage and...

Save big money at Menards. I could blow a paycheck in that place in a matter of minutes....

Thanks gents! Mike, I wish it was a JT...that's my JKU with a custom soft top to make it look like a mini JT. The plan for the Gladiator is to eventually buy one though!

He better...he's been on through a lot of the renovation.

Recent GJ member....got on here to seek advice and get some ideas during my project. I started with a cookie-cutter 2 car attached, with a terribly low ceiling height, especially for a pair of Jeeps. It started with demo'ing all the drywall, running new electrical where I needed it, insulating...

I do this as well...with a Meguiar's product, but same idea. Works great! Sometimes you just need a hose though. Wheel wells, undercarriages, tires...my Jeep kicks up mud and snow...gotta have a hose for that. I did my lower 3' with hardiboard, covered in corrugated galvanized steel. The...

Big box Depot and Lowes have it...as does Menards.

Take a look at Sam's Club for workbenches and storage ideas too...I have some of their "UltraHD" line and really like it for the price. Another storage idea I plan on working on this summer is building a loft/shelf over the garage door to store items I use less frequently. I like...

In my last garage, I used galvanized pipe to make a "U" that was probably 3' long and 6" deep, flanged to the wall. The jackstands perched on top nicely, leaning against the wall. wish I had pics. The current garage is just a dedicated shelf. Don't want to get too crazy because I've got new...

If you're only doing light work and chalking it up to a practice run for future, why not? I think it would look pretty badass. The only real downfall would be that any impact could chip it or crack it, but if you've got some mesh in the slab, it'll at least hold together. Also, maybe...

Thanks! Keep'em coming! I really like the 2" receiver idea. The garage houses 2 cars on a daily basis and is used mostly for detailing, vehicle maintenance, hanging out, general home improvement projects...just about everything and anything. Versatile and functional are the keys here. I'm...

I recently went from a belt drive to the Chamberlin residential jackshaft unit available at Home Depot. I've ran it for maybe 3 months now with zero issues and zero complaints. It's quieter than the belt drive for sure. My reason for the upgrade was a low ceiling height and not really about...

Hi everyone! Long time reader, first time poster. Lots of great information on this forum! I may be afforded the rare opportunity to tear out the concrete floor in my attached 2 car and pour new. I'm installing a trench-style drain while this is going on. Aside from that, anyone have any...
