This just might finally be a productive weekend. I've been collecting materials all week and just finished up the structure for the floor cabinets tonight. I downgraded to particle board but I think when everything is screwed together they should be plenty strong. Plus I've been measuring so...

Well I think its time to face facts that this is going to take quite a bit more time than I'd hoped. I have a job now which is good for buying stuff but bad for working on the stuff I buy. But I have made a little progress. The upper cabinet structure is done and I bought a tire rack to get some...

I just got those same tire racks. Its the HyLoft 01031 folding storage rack. By far the cheapest tire rack I've found and only one review of it collapsing, due to a snapped lag bolt. So far so good though...

I will say the HOA does keep the neighborhood looking very nice. There really wasn't any way around it though. Pretty much every house we looked at had an HOA or was "covenant controlled" which is a fancy word for HOA. Enough of that. I've started to make some progress... Last week I built a...

Thanks for the replies and yes I should have put a useful picture in the first post... The keys are there for scale. I'm pretty sure they are troweled in. They are a little less than an inch wide and separate the floor into about 7'x10' blocks. I like the idea of putting rope down since it...

I'm planning on putting epoxy down on my new 3 car garage but I'm in CO where expansive soil is the norm. Thus the garage floor has strain relief grooves in it (like on a sidewalk). I did a quick search and didn't find anything specific on the topic. Is there anything I need to look out for? The...

First Post! A quick history told through the HID's of my car. It all started in a public garage north of D.C. Until my roomate bought a house with a "barn" which was really a 30'x40' zoning violation (no detached garages allowed) Since I've moved out its been filled with so much **** he...
