The metal ceiling was a bit of a gamble but the results are well worth it. No need to mud, tape or paint. I have an epoxy floor going in next week and then I'm waiting on my NewAge cabinets to arrive (ordered in December).

I was not originally planning to add insulation or drywall at this time, but decided to pull the trigger now instead of waiting to try and do this later this year, especially once I was already working out of the garage.

The mini-splits work well given the space and size, especially with the ceiling height.

Early stages of the build. I hired JT Custom Builders (https://jtcustombuilders.com/) here in Maryland and they've done an outstanding job, specifically in communicating and providing suggestions along the way.

I started planning this build and discussing the approach with my builder in Feb 2021. Between trying to target a decent price on building materials and working back & forth with my county to place the structure within my property lines, we finally broke ground in late Nov 2021. We're in the...

Thanks....I was expecting to see three wires (red, black, white) when the lift's switch plate was taken off. Learned something new today.

Data plate attached.

I'm in the midst of finishing a garage build and the rotary 2-post lift was installed yesterday. When the electrician pre-ran the wire a few months ago, he put in 30amp double pole wired using 10/3 w/ ground. I noticed that the lift motor is only a 2 wire hook-up (black hot, white common). What...

The buckling was on a couple of the first row tiles are you enter the...

I had a similar issue with the drywall meeting up with the raised concrete on three sides of my garage. We put the dry wall as close as we could and put-in a baseboard similar to what is in the house. I have to paint the concrete yet to give it a finished look. The header over my garage door...

Matt - I like it! I too struggle with where to put my track stuff and it's amazing how quickly you can accumulate enough stuff for the "just in case" situation during events. My advice would be to think everything you intend to do at least twice before making a decision on how to complete your...

Shenandoah circuit at Summit Point in West Virginia got the better of me this past October. I was coming into the braking zone off the front stretch and one of the heim joints on the front pass side control arm broke...when I went to turn left, the car went right and off into the tire walls. Not...

I'm in Westminster, MD. It was a nick name I was tagged with a number of years ago....
