    Between 265 & 485 SQ/FT 7 year Evolution of a Bay Area 2 Car Garage

    So the Car Wash Cabinet is essentially a kit from Obsessed Garage with a Krenzle Pressure Washer, 100 Foot Hose on a Cox reel and a Stainless Steel Bucket Filler Hose with Hot and Cold Valve, then taking it to the next level by squeezing it all in to a 36 inch wall mounted cabinet. I mocked it...

    SF Bay Area Garage Evolution

    Dan The Pex is actually not pex, it's aluminum Pipe, by Rapid Air, so keeping it straight is very easy. As for Sonic, the cabinets are great, but the real benefit is in the Tools, brings new meaning to organized. Thanks. Tom Yeah it can be tough in the Bay Area, but once you finally...

    Let's see your toolbox.

    Three Huskys & seven cabinets, less than 2k invested and it gives me a ton of storage. Sent from my iPad using The Garage Journal mobile app

    T5 ho light placement. ?..?

    I have 8 2 bulb T5HO fixtures in my garage that is pretty similar to the OP size wise, also an 8 foot ceiling. The 2 that get blocked by the open garage door are on a separate circuit. It's certainly bright but no overly so IMO.

    Anyone install their own wall mount garage door opener?

    I did mine, seems way easier than a traditional style. Running the cabling took longer than mounting the actual unit. 2.5 on a 10 scale of difficulty.

    Bose sound system..

    Hey guys....to each there own and by all means buy whatever you like. But saying Bose is one of the best brands out there is a rather large stretch. I own an audio video sales and install company and hear and install a lot of brands all year long. In my business the general opinion when it comes...

    Super Clean 2 Car WoodWorking Shop

    I thought about doing the ceiling but given the climate, never gets above 90 or below 40 no matter what time of year I don't think I'll need more than a fan and a small heater...we haven't even turned on our heat in the house in 6 weeks. Not to mention me being 6 foot 6 I think a ceiling may...

    Hey Guys, Been lurking and getting inspiration from all your amazing Garages. My wife and I recently bought our first house, living in the SF Bay Area can really push the date on that first home purchase. We bought the House at the first of the year, and I have made the garage a priority as I...

    Metal cabinets I should consider other than Gladiator

    I can't really say what to consider beyond Gladiator...But I will say that I have a couple of the Gladiator cabinets and although there is nothing wrong with them and they work just fine, I would put them more in the tin foil cabinet category than the metal category...they are made of some...

    Do our garages really belong to us ?

    I have 100% control over the Theater & The Garage....not a single item in either of those spaces and she can do whatever she likes with the rest of the house....works well for us.
