    LED lights off a plug socket

    My garage lighting is terrible. Would there be anything wrong with running maybe an 8 foot run of led tube lights off of one od those light socket plugs? Photo for reference.

    Bigger or smaller?

    Another post about my garage office that I'm building. I will be using a midea inverter window unit to cool the area. I hastily purchased a 12000 btu unit and did research after the fact. The space will be a little under 100 sf. Should I downsize to the 8000 btu unit? Does it really matter...

    Wall framing

    Thinking about enclosing a part of my garage to make a small office. It would be 8x11. My problem is this. I have never framed anything and it seems like a big undertaking to me. Everything you read online says its fairly simple but I'm the type of person who can mess up anything lol. Any...

    Racedeck FF binding

    Hey gang! I ordered racedeck ff tiles back during the black friday sale and sadly I am just now getting around to installing it. I'm having troubles with the tiles not lining up properly and therefore the next adjoining tile is off and binding. I got them to fit well enough but when I went to...

    Best paint for garage walls?

    Hello all, What is the consensus on garage wall paint? Indoor/outdoor? Best sheen? I've searched the internet for hours but with all the DIY pages and self proclaimed gurus on the internet it's hard to get a straight answer rather than just someone's opinion. Also, if anyone has any paint...

    Is my insulation moldy?

    That was going to be my next question. On the other side is our pantry/laundry. If I elected to change the insulation for my peace of mind, does it matter which side the paper facing is directed? I don't intend to remove the drywall in the pantry. Thank you for your reply!

    Is my insulation moldy?

    I just ripped off pegboard in my garage that was installed in 1982 when the house was built. So, is this mold or is it just dirt and dust?

    Fire rated drywall vs moisture resistant drywall?

    Howdy folks. I am getting ready to drywall my garage. It is an attached garage and there are two walls connecting to the inside of the home, one exterior wall and then of course the garage door. The garage is not heated or cooled. I live in Louisiana where it gets very humid so that makes me...

    Best time to buy racedeck/swisstrax

    No worries there for me. I guess I'm kind of a "Garage poser". Just wanting the look of a clean, refined space with a spot for everything. The occasional small house project that require some wood cutting and the occasional motorcycle oil change but that's about it.

    Historically, what seems the best time to buy garage flooring? I've seen 15%, 20%, and even 21% off coupons. Would like to get the biggest discount and don't mind waiting a little bit.

    Revamping my garage

    Hello all! I've been toying around with the idea with revamping my garage. I moved into a new house 2 years ago and the garage has been an absolute nightmare. It's just been a catch all for everything and everything is everywhere! It's a 2.5 car attached garage. One wall is solid pegboard...
