Okay all, I have seen this happen to numerous people's gladiator cabinets, and it is doing it to mine, but does anyone have a solution to getting rid of the staining on the front doors of gladiator cabinets? I understand that I must have had something on my hands, touched the doors, but now...

Still a work in progress but made some headway this week.

Since I had to skim coat all the walls, the last thing I want is damage, and the recycling bin and garbage can poses a threat to my walls. Bought some galvanize pipe and fitting and make a "guard" to keep this from happening when pushing them in and out of the storage area in the garage.

Missed one.....

Burned up a day of vacation to try and knock out the wood work. Got all the wood up except the corner boards which will come soon. So far, I really like it. Just need to adorn the wood wall with some cool retro signs soon.

Got 1/3 of the wood wall up now that the boards are all stained and dried. Did 6 different staining treatments to the boards with stains and then "white-washing" paint over the top of some of them to bring out the grain a bit. Hopefully taking Tuesday off to finish up all the installing of...

Photo attached this time.

Got some time to do some more work. The white section of the wall "bump out" will be covered with the wood treatment we are working on. Should be a different garage by Sunday.

So this past weekend we ended up getting 3 of the 4 walls painted with a few touch-ups still needed. Trim around the doors, base boards, and the concrete "brick" sections needs to be finished up. Hope is to get some of this done tonight so I can deep clean the cabinets so they can all be put...

Sooo, on to the garage. First order of business was to fill in the 3,000 nail/screw holes left by the previous owner. Swear to god he didn't know what a stud finder was. Then after filling in the holes, sanding everything, it became apparent that the texture they applied to the walls during...

WOW, almost 2 years since my last post. That is because we took on a new project and his name is Bain. The name was picked by his mother, and after I mentioned the "Batman" reference, she still wanted to name him Bain. So two kids, a newborn and a 2 year old, has derailed my efforts in the...

Monoprice is awesome. Cables, wiring, Bluetooth adapters, tv mounts, ordered them all and never have had one issue with anything. I have used them for the past 8 years. All our mounts are Monoprice.

I have a slew of them. But wait until they are on sale. I got 3 tall 36" roller cabinets at 50% off from gladiator. SAMs club had a good deal on other ones. Then Woot.com has an amazing deal on the fold down work centers, which I got two, for 35% of the original price. Strong, sturdy, and if...

Surprisingly Menard's carries slatwall that can be ordered in any color and also with the metal between the slats. I remember seeing a note that the metal needs installed at the factory because the slats are different sizes I believe. They do offer color inserts that slid in the slats for a...

Re: Just got Robbed, what do I do now? We have ADT with door and motion sensors. We have accidentally set it off, and let me tell you, you honestly can hear the alarm at least a block in all directions. ADT not only can call the cops for you but also the fire department if the smoke alarm...
