To the guys that provided useful suggestions, thanks! To the others who just offered critiques of my plan and semantics, thanks?

Thanks Jim, the RaceDeck calculator is a neat tool that I didn't know about before. My only concern is I don't know whether to treat the room as a 22'8" square with some extra, or a 23'4" square with a lot removed.

Yeah, I know it sounds weird but drywall and screws are cheap and my time is free, insulation and electrical are not. I already have to take down the pegboard when its time to do those bigger jobs and that may literally be years down the road, so removing the drywall won't be adding too much to...

Since the previous owner of my garage was nice enough to put a 4 ft tall strip of peg board on the top half of the garage all the way around, all I need to do is throw up sheets of drywall on the lower half to close in the studs, and throw some paint down and it'll be looking pretty nice in...

Hi everyone, it appears that I'll be getting the VCT I've wanted for my floor for a while now in a swap on Craigslist so I actually have to put some thought into the layout now. I am trying to follow the advice of the folks who have done it here and the videos on YouTube of the proper way to...

No kidding? By the looks of them, I thought they would do more than that, but I can't argue with facts. Thanks for the input.

Hi everyone, I recently picked up a used 17" floor machine from CL with the intent of using it to maintain my VCT floors after they're installed, but I stumbled upon the fact that there are a few steel wire brushes available for these machines and wondered if anyone had any experience with them...

I was kind of afraid of that. I'll try to get some pics of it so I can post them and get the final verdict.

So what's your advice? Build a shed?

Clear span, which I like for not having to dodge a support in the middle of the garage, but do understand that further reduces the storage capacity of whatever solution I pick for the attic. I'm just struggling with not having any additional storage like a shed or anything and without being...

Re: Garage Attic Storage, ceiling joists at 32" OC? Appreciate the input. I called them trusses (my bad), and realized I used the wrong terminology. It's not a truss style roof, its a traditional gable roof with a ridge beam/board and 2x4 rafters on 16" centers. I think I should have said...

Garage Attic Storage, ceiling joists 32" OC? Is there any practical, cost effective way to install decking in a garage attic with trusses at 32"OC? Just for light storage, not talking crankshafts or engine blocks, just stuff I would like to get off the floor or off the pegboard and out of...

So was the Wagner capable of spraying the water based primer without clogging and needing frequent cleaning? I've read that they clog a lot and that's what had me looking at a rental unit, but if the Wagner worked ok, I'd rather put that rental fee towards buying something I could potentially...

That's interesting. Mines a detached too, and was planning on going with OSB, but this is certainly something to think about. Where did you get the paneling and how much was it?

Thanks for the encouragement guys. I will definitely move forward with this idea, probably not til spring though. As far as the painting process goes, I was planning on using Kilz oil primer which is really thick, if I rent an airless sprayer from HD or wherever, that should work ok right? And...
