Best pegboard hook system I've found is this: Durahook by Triton I had an entire 24 ft long wall of my garage lined with 1/4" thick by 1/4" hole pegboard panels and picked up a whole lot of the system. It's freak'n awesome. The hooks and other accessories screw into the pegboard and are...

Re: what did you do in your garage today? I . . . packed up my whole garage. Going to sell the house soon and move. Seems weird to have bare walls and an almost empty garage.

Jeez, I've been a way from this place for too long. . . . We're selling our house and moving to a bigger place (as soon as we find / buy the right house) so I'll be setting up another garage. In my current house I set up pegboard across an entire 24 ft wall of the garage from the floor to the...

Some things to note: I **** as a door installer. It's taken months to get these doors on the shed. First I got ahead of myself setting up the doors for finishing before cutting the hinges and boring out for the lock sets. Then it took me forever to figure out the hardware because of the...

Well, keep up the studies. I went through the Univ. of Washington Architecture program eventually earning a Masters of Architecture with a Bachelors of Science in Construction Management as well. It's an enjoyable profession.

Thanks guys. Ungh. . . Doors! I must say. . . getting the doors bored, mortised, finished, hung, and what not has been the bane of this project. I goofed the jamb installation and it's caused issues since. There has been a lot of futzing and fine tuning the doors. Gaps aren't even and so...

X2 on the toe stepping again, but . . . I also did a rain screen on my shed build (posted on Garagejournal.com as well as on my website, here) and we used similar build techniques. Membrane / Wrap For platinum's build he used a 15# felt or paper-based building wrap. For my shed I used a...

Not to step on the OP's toes but here is a link: Rainscreens by Build LLC It's a decent overview for an open-gap type rain screen system similar to the method platinum used on his garage. For the most part the wall structure is the same: wall studs faced with sheathing (plywood or OSB)...

Oof, been a LONG time since I posted any updates on the shed because it's been a LONG time since I've done anything on it. It turns out that I got a bit overly ambitious with my custom milled door jambs and didn't take into account some hardware issues. Because the jambs extend past the plane...

Thanks guys. Sorry I haven't posted up in a while. . . The project isn't finished yet but there's not a lot left to do: Doors Top coat of paint on the siding Stain soffits Backfilling Landscaping That's about it. I'm back to working on the doors after nearly 6 weeks of doing nothing while...

I've been waiting a week or two to get started on the doors. We've been wanting to replace our back door of our house so it made sense to finish it off when I did the shed doors. And it made sense to wait on the shed doors until we had the new back door. Now that we have the new back door . ...

Not really. Temps have been down in the mid-to-low 20's this past week. When I've headed out to the shop and turned on the light things were a bit dim at first but there was still plenty of light to see by. After about 1-2 minutes the lights are on at full brightness and they're bright. But...

No progress to report. Simply got up early to take care of Nathan and noticed the sunrise.

Ok. I'm calling the wiring done now. Put the ground clamp on last night and button up the last access panel. Then spent the rest of the evening in 30 deg weather cleaning up the interior of the structure. This is the first time that has happened throughout the project. For most of the summer...

I'm not done building my shed yet but someone thought I should post a recent photo here: Photo taken at 1am after I finished some wiring work. The thread it is from is here. Other recent night shots: I've been scrambling to finish it before weather got too bad so I've done a lot of...
