I've been eyeing up some rubberized step treads at Menards I was thinking about getting. Thought about doing those for the step tread and then painting the front of the step the same color as my lower color on the walls to tie in.

Hey guys, wrapping up the finishing touches on our garage addition. Garage is basement level with 2 sets of steps with a landing going upstairs into the house. Trying to decide on a good finish for the steps that will hold up with the everyday foot traffic. They are currently basic wood step...

wow, lots of great info here. I noticed that the tank less units require a lot of power which was one of my main concerns. Our current electric 40 gal unit was centrally located for the existing house, but the addition is further away on one end of the house. Usage is mainly in morning, and...

this isn't for garage, rather the whole house. Thinking of ditching our old 40 gallon electric water heater and going with a tank less unit. Are the electric tank less units any good? Looking for pro's and con's of going this route. Thanks in advance for any replies.

interesting, never heard of that Jackfre.

well, the house is full log, the garage is log slab siding. Can no longer get the exact rustic log that the house was built from (28 yrs ago), so we went stick built for addition and decided to use the matching log slab siding from the garage on it so it all blends together. I think we are...

thanks for the replies guys. Original plan was to paint the roof brown and go with brown bottom/tan upper with brown doors and trim. However since roof is already green as well as doors, and roof on house, figured may as well stay with green and do green lower. I'm thinking beige will look...

Greetings all. I am getting ready to remove the log siding off of my detached garage to re-use on our home addition. I will be putting metal siding on the garage. It currently has green metal roof and doors so going to keep with that color theme and do green lower wainscoting and trim...

Thats what I was afraid of. I shoulda done what I thought to start with and not even listened to the concrete guy and probably wouldn't have this problem.

First actual post here, and thought I'd start off with my stupidity haha. We built our house 5 yrs ago and finished the garage floor with rustoleum brand epoxy floor coating w/ the flakes. The garage floor was poured in the middle of Dec. 07' and it sat untouched until the house was finished...

the shelf probably won't be that big; just wide enough to sit paint cans and such on. I'm thinking probably 5-6 ft long x 1 ft deep. My brother in law is a builder and he was going to help build it, and was wanting to do something suspended from the rafters above. I really want to do...

I need to do some shopping; find some metal brackets and tapcons. I have plenty of lumber laying around for the actual shelf. Speaking of lumber laying around, that'll be the next project put up some type of brackets that will hold some lumber up out of the way. I gotta get this garage more...

sberry, I like that shelve you built. Anybody else have any pics they want to share of shelves they built on a concrete wall?

Hey guys, I'm wanting to put up a shelf in my little utility garage to free up a little bit of floor space. The only wall I have available is a solid concrete wall. How would I go about putting up a shelf. I'm thinking just a single shelf, about 5 - 6 ft up, but not sure on the length. It...
