    Cabinet Conundrum

    okay... Thanks for the encouragement, I'll have to look around on youtube. hahahaha I guess my old "plan" was just to stick them in the garage and then figure out what I could do with whatever cabinets I had... then I'd mount some, get rid of some, whatever... the new scenario feels like...

    Cabinet Conundrum

    What's funny is that they didn't go demolition crazy or use a sledge to remove them... it's just that there was a misunderstanding about whether the cabinets be saved and reused... when they scheduled a pickup of all the trash, they hauled the cabinets out as well. It was a rainy day and by the...

    Cabinet Conundrum

    I have never insulated or done drywall at all. The studs are spaced like 23" +/- an inch it seems... is this normal for an old garage? After having electrical routed through the studs, do I just basically stuff insulation in there, add a vapor barrier, and then put drywall over it?

    Want your ideas: what am I overlooking?

    Thanks for the suggestion! There are 2 outlets... one behind the toolbox (neon clock is plugged in currently), and one to the left of the shop vac (it's brown, hard to see) I plan mostly on detailing the car and taking on generally small-scale projects such as refinishing the tops of some...

    Hi all, I now have a rental house with a single car detached garage. I want to make cost effective and non-permanent modifications to it so that I can enjoy it a little more while I live here. I've already done the following: - shop vac / general cleaning of garage - installed an automatic...
