    Sudden Death: Epoxy-Coat vs. Wolverine Coating

    I purchased Wolverine Coatings products through Fred at Alpha Garage and was completely satisfied with the customer service, the installation process went smoothly, and the product has held up (almost a year now) better than I ever expected. You can read about my experience here (beginning...

    garage baseboard ideas?

    Dock, Just what I've been looking for. Thought I had a source, but they typically handle only commercial customers and it seems as if they don't want to deal with me. Do you recall the manufacturer and/or where you purchased it? Appreciate any help that you can offer. Regards, Stan

    850 sqft to big?

    My wife and I did 1350 square feet without any major problems. Took us about five days total time, but allowed me to install a quality floor (with chips) for less than half what I was quoted to have an epoxy floor (with less chips) professionally installed. It has been down a little less than...

    Wow! Some really nice signs out there! Here's a photo of one of my signs... I have to get some photos of it actually installed one of these days. Regards, Stan

    9 x9 Wayne galton quote for their 5200 model R15

    Rob, I have this door (two of them actually). I did a lot of research before purchasing the 5200 series doors... I'm very, very happy with my decision. The doors are well built, well insulated, and went in without any problems at all. For comparison, I had two 8'x9' doors, high lift...

    The Rat's New Garage

    Great advice... I actually looked into this initially (once I discovered the sign weighs about 100 pounds) and the cost in this area is pretty close to what you stated. I'm going to give my GC another week or so (he already said he'd do it for free)... If that doesn't work out, I'm going to...

    Garage Lighting Plan

    I thought that I had a lot with 72 54W tubes... It worked out great though and I have plenty of light in the garage. I like your skylight idea. Would love to see photos of what you eventually decide on. My cousin picked up a 996 TT about two years ago... Gorgeous car. Wouldn't mind seeing...

    It's really tough to beat a '57 Chevy... Some of the best automotive styling ever. I can see why you went that route... Excellent choice! Regards, Stan

    The Rat's New Garage

    Those are my personal favorites as well... While I appreciate any neat car, the 1968-1972 Corvettes are my personal favorites. They were great cars in an era of great cars and they still stand out today. My wife actually talked me into buying the '70 I have now (in all honesty, she didn't...

    The Rat's New Garage

    Thanks Tod! I'm anxious to get the sign up as well... The delay is my own fault though. I was under the impression that the sign was a lot lighter than it really is. I got a real shock when I removed it from storage. My idea of two guys hauling it up on ladders wasn't going to get the job...

    The Rat's New Garage

    Thank you for the nice comments gentlemen! Marc, I'm afraid that in the excitement of seeing the lift operate for the first time, I neglected to shoot any "action photos." Once the pump motor is hooked to the 220 service and my "real" compressor is in place, I promise that I'll post a few...

    The Rat's New Garage

    The lift installation is complete! The installer from Turner Hydraulics was out last week to finish the installation of my lift. I was under the impression that this would be an all day (or more) process, but it actually went much quicker than I thought. I wasn’t sure what to expect so I...
