It might be a good idea to pull the permit yourself. We had some electrical work done on our house recently (upgraded panel, re-routed lines for washer/dryer and oven, plus all electrical for the kitchen) and I pulled all of the permits myself and to be honest, it wasn't that bad. You fill out...

I did both: I bought a work table last year but found that I needed more working space and I wanted to have separate zones for different projects (cutting, assembly and finishing). So with a plan from here and some scrap wood, I was able to make my own. It's far from perfect but is...

Very nice! I've been looking for ideas on making a new bench from some scrap and I think I might have to borrow a few ideas

Working on my rigs is easy as both are lifted Jeeps and I have plenty of room underneath to move around though down the road I might buy an adjustable creeper as I tend to strain my neck after a couple of hours.

I kind of "had to" learn as I got into Off-roading and the broken parts that come with the hobby. Granted, I'm no mechanic but I take auto courses at the local JC when I can, help my friends wrench on their rigs, read as much as I can about the systems, parts, and goings on of what ever I'm...

X2 on what has already been said. I'm going through the same process and going with the same colors (except for the orange) and it looks like you got a solid plan. for the paint, I used Kilz primer for all of the walls (2 gallons) as it primes really good and is an extremely bright white...

Sorry it took long but here is what I'm working with:

Very cool that you're going to open a shop, and i agree with keeping it gender neutral. Also, like it's been mentioned, what are you going to really focus your work on? As that could be a starting point for the name of the business and help your clientele find you easier when doing a google...

Thanks for the info guys!!! You don't even know how long I've waited to get started on the garage, and not have to work on my jeep in the driveway

Yeah,I know it's a lame question but I wanted to make sure.

Hi everyone, sorry for the newb question but I wanted to make sure of something before I continue on with my garage project. Right now I'm drywalling my garage and I have 1 receptical that has the wires and the ground wire stapled on top of the studs. Now I don't just want to slap on the...

I have a wall in my garage for all of my sports stuff: verticle racks for my surf boards, mounted on the wall I have snowboards, skateboards, helmets, and other related gear. I try to keep stuff organized by sport so I don't have to waste time looking for specific stuff and it's up out of the way.
