Without a doubt. It was reasonably lit before, but it's miles better now.

I got light fixtures in to replace the simple bulb hangers I had before. I'm super happy with the amount of light. The garage still has a ways to go but it's slowly getting there.

I got a new Gravely 52" Gravely ZT-HD delivered last week. I haven't tried it out yet as we just planted grass about a month ago, but I'm looking forward to the first mow.

A couple friends came over and helped me pour a 93sqft concrete pad out my back garage door. Used 71 80lb bags of concrete, really glad I bought a concrete mixer for this one. We did our first batch at about 8:30am, and poured the last batch about 11am.

My wife and I were just talking about how we should do exactly that!

Murphy supervised a project over the weekend.

I spent the weekend preping to pour a concrete pad out my back garage door. 93sq-ft. I'm starting to understand why the contractors wanted $3k for this. Although not technically in the garage, but garage adjacent.

I have three 98022s in my garage and really like them. I bought them because it opens a bit of overhead space and doesn't block any lighting compared to a traditional opener. These are also a ton quieter than the traditional opener in my last house but that could be just old opener vs a new one...

This is really a cool program for those of us who make cabinets on occasion but havent mastered it. I love the sheet optimization as I always feel like I do a terrible job of that and end up with about as much waste as I do good parts. It would be great if you could switch it to imperial units...

I did it last fall. I had to move everything into storage while my wife and I moved to a temporary house while our house was being completed, then moved it again into the new house. If we didn't have half a dozen family and friends come to help us, I'm not sure how we would have done it.

Put a new water pump in my 2016 Focus ST this weekend. It went so smooth I dont think I even used any expletives!

I have mine at about 42" right now. I really prefer more of a bar height than a counter height. I'm considering a box that's 46" tall, and if I buy that I'll raise the bench to match.

This is my experience as well. I did it for about 8 years, it's doable but you'll have to get creative at times.

I know it's 5/8th, but it's possible it's multiple layers. That's a good thought, I should pull one off my basement ceiling just to see.

That must not be the case here, but I cant say for sure. I didnt have the basement finished, but they had to hang drywall on the ceiling of the basement for "fire code", again that drywall is a level 0, no taping. Every single unfinished basement/garage I've been in has been the same.
