I'm in the process of removing drywall in my garage for a side door/man door. Looking at a 36x80 prehung door from HD. This is a non load bearing wall, and I've gone through and found the location I wanted for it and pulled away the drywall for the framing. I'd prefer to frame it out before...

I haven't made any significant progress on the garage. Had some snow here and have had an ongoing project going on inside that I HAVE to finish. Like everything else I tend to extend projects way beyond their needed timspans. The previous owners of our home destroyed our entryway stairs. Water...

This weekend I decided I need to finish the overhead storage. I left the length at the standard 96" so I can mount a shop clock in that unused space. I used pegboard as the base material. Why, because it was cheaper frankly and what was going up there can easily be supported. I also knew that...

So after a few years in my home I've reached my endpoint. Living out of boxes in the basement for my tools has drove me insane. Large boxes for hand tools, small boxes and tupperwear for screws and nails, etc, etc. Its a basic 2 car garage. First thing I need to do was rid myself of junk...

if it were me I would use t1-11. unpainted it looks old and rustic. Just top it with 1x stock for a finished edge. Rip panel in half and get 8' of coverage for around $25.. can't beat that.

Re: what did you do in your garage today? I hung some used cabinets I picked up at the habitat store. Now researching to build some hanging overhead storage.

So many houses in the midwest have "two" garages. Of course the home is built on a slope so the front of the home is one story and the back would be a walkout basement. My father in laws garage is a traditional garage on top but you walk around back and there's a garage door he opens and has...

The top of the panel is approx 76". So the bottom of the cabinets would be just above that line. The would be mounted right at the horizontal drywall seam

So I just landed a full set of used kitchen cabinets that I want to mount in the garage. Problem is I would love to use the corner cabinet and my panel is located pretty much directly on the corner. Would it be bizarre to mount all my cabinets up high? Thinking down the road I would be having...

i just went out to take a look after realizing what you were saying. The doorjamb as it sits now looks to be even or just past the left edge of the alcove. The design I posted makes it look farther out but its on it or just past. I think in the design they bumped it out to accomodate the swing...

So over the course of a year of researching every flooring dealer to decide on wood floors in my home, I am left with box upon box of 3/4" wood flooring samples. They sent me everything all for free but I have a ton. Wife wants me to rid the basement of this odd collection. Which leads me to...

So my second cup of coffee quite possibly didn't kick in because what you just wrote confused me as much as if you just ordered me to set 1SQ for strategic missle launch :) Honestly though I kinda get what you are saying here and I started this thing because I was going to go through and take...

So after reading the suggestions posted I think I decided the route to go. The idea of the compressor nook/closet I had to think about but do think that because its would basically be sitting on a ply subfloor box, the sound would reverberate into the house too much compared to actually sitting...

So I posted on another thread how I am preparing to do a fall/winter garage redo. With that I need additional outlets as well as ceiling lighting. The garage only has one outlet right now and its a GFI which I have a freezer plugged into because thats my only option. I just called an...
