I have quite a bit of HD gift cards stocked up, been watching for months for s screaming deal on the Husky HD shelves, cabinets or even NewAge stuff and nothing… starting to gove up, may just get a load of 2x4’s and 3/4” ply and make shelves/benches instead.

I may piggy-back off this information as I'm currently working on improving lighting in my modest two-car. The wide light spread sounds ideal to to my 9.5" ceilings, with an approx. 22x20 dimensions. Thinking two columns of 4 fixtures centered over the vehicles. Alternatively three columns of...

Lastly, a rough 'cut' of the design with XLC tiles. The larger size is likely a benefit but seems like it may make fitting a little more difficult with the non-square areas of my garage.

Here is an alternative design that better illustrates the 'walls' on the raised area and moves the blue outline in a bit to account for the distance from wall to the garage door opening, as I plan to do some shelves down the side(s)

Hello GJ faithful, I've been away for a long time, because life gets busy, so busy in fact I'm now six garages divided from the first one I started when I first joined GJ. In that original garage I had a PU-epoxy floor professionally installed and it performed wonderfully but did have a few...

Is that because of the quality of light emitted (low CRI) or some other concern?

I'm sure if you asked Home Depot, this entire thread is a bunch of thieves. :lol_hitti

Spent some more time in SketchUp to mock the frame of the benches and also honing in on my needs. I'd love some feedback on the design and if I should make further adjustments for safety/functionality. Targets: -Strong. Strong enough that I can safely stand on any surface. -As much closed...

Indeed, bringing back fond memories of my grandfather's property in Georgia.

Had to deal with two water system faults this week. One was a leak due to perforation of the chlorine injection line, which revealed the injector itself was done for. Once resolved, no less than 24 hours later, the flow switch failed closed, leading to the chlorine injection pump running for...

Saw this on a car forum I frequent, seems like a good deal, but I'm nervous about such things when it comes to assure 3,000lbs don't land on my noggin...

Gentlemen, it's time to get down to brass tacks and sort out my damn garage. A place to work on home stuff, car stuff, motorcycle stuff, and to try and not melt from the heat and humidity of the typical summer day in Florida. Goals: -Improve general lighting -Define work and non-work areas...

Oh that's right, the 2nd gens were called squarebirds; for some reason I always think that name goes with the 64-66 models. :/ 64 is my favorite year and yours look perfect just the way it is now. Enjoy it -- they are one of the coolest and most under-appreciated cars of the 60's.

This looks like a cool project. I'd love to see more of that kooky chopped Cadillac. The 64' 'bird looks good; I've always been a fan of the squarebirds and their 'Boeing' interior :P.

Jake, Do you have any dimensions that you don't mind sharing regarding the oil cabinets? I use the same oil containers and love the whole setup. I've been fussing about what to do with mine as they are a dark cloud on my shelves at present. I'm thinking I can build a shelf below for all of my...
